Honduran mission seeks local support
Tunica Presbyterian Church pastor Paul Husband has been going to Honduras at least one time each year since 2007, accompanying dentist Dr. Andy Garrett of Batesville on a medical mission that draws hundreds in Latin America's second poorest nation.
Now, that mission has expanded into a permanent center high in the Honduran mountains. Husband and Lifepoint Church's Marcus Van Every plan a trip next month to Itibuca' in the isolated northwest part of the country, where they will plant an interdenominational church.

Heman Park
(KMOV.com) – A local movement to spread positivity in the world is going viral in response to a senseless act of violence.
The Positivity Breeds Positivity movement was launched after a violent night last Saturday in Heman Park at a class reunion where two men were wounded by gunfire. 20-year-old Mario Wallance died.
A new group from University City who started the movement did not know Wallance, but they want to change people's negative thoughts into positive ones. The group encouraged people on social media to post a photo of themselves holding up a sign that read "Positivity Breeds Positivity." One of the founders of the movement said there have been people posting photos from across the country. They said this movement is not intended to stay just local, but spread worldwide.
You can join by using the hashtag #positivitybreedspositivity or #PBP on social media.

The gourp is also selling t-shirts. All proceeds will be used to help children buy school supplies.

Cthulhu eats your childhood in this Lovecraftian spin on classic children's literature. What can a cthulhupillar eat in a week? Read more
Cthulhu eats your childhood in this Lovecraftian spin on classic children's literature. What can a cthulhupillar eat in a week?
About this project
In the light of the stars, a little tomb lay in drowned R'lyeh.One Sunday morning, the stars came almost right, and—boom!—out of the crypt came a big and very hungry cthulhupillar.
Cthulhu has eaten your childhood! We are publishing The Very Hungry Cthulhupillar, a full color, fully-illustrated book in the style of a classic piece of children's literature—not actually intended for a young audience. A cthulhupillar eats more and more to sate his ravenous appetite … and what shall he become?
The book is already complete, but we need the cash required to get the book off to press and in stores for a Halloween release this year! Check out a few sample page spreads below.
We are initially shooting for a softcover book but have stretch goals planned for a hardcover release if we get sufficient support!
- Back our project. We have a variety of options and rewards!
- Share this project with your friends who might be interested!
- Talk to retailers about stocking the book in stores this autumn!
Signal Fire Studios is a small-press publishing company that combines proven experience, exciting new talent, and 21st century ideas. The Internet and social media are a big part of our marketing and social outreach, and we've come to realize crowdfunding is a fantastic tool to allow our friends, fans, and those who discover and like our ideas to help us produce exciting products and build our business.
Ben Mund is a lifelong Lovecraft fan, digital designer, and creator of projects such as the Lovecraftian Building An Elder God and the licensed Serenity Atlas of the 'Verse: Volume One. Jamie Chambers is an award-winning, best-selling tabletop game designer and writer with more than twelve years of publishing experience. He founded Signal Fire Studios to publish both his own projects and those of the most talented writers and artists he knows.
Our products will be sold through Publisher Services Inc. (PSI), a sales & fulfillment partner located just down the road from the Signal Fire offices, that represents some of the best-known brands in the industry and sells through multiple sales channels.
The book is almost done! Ben will review his work and make necessary changes and additions, Jamie will do the pre-press work and generate the PDFs. Every backer at the $5 level of higher will get access to it shortly after the project is funded. It won't take much more work to send the book off to press!
You'll have our written thanks in the final version of the book for even a $1 reward. For $5 you'll also get the eBook (PDF) version of the book shortly after the project is funded. For $25 you'll get all of the above and a final, printed copy of the book. Look over the right to see the possible reward levels, including the chance to be an Associate Publisher with your name listed on the title page!
We've hit our goal and soared past it. Ben and I will continue to add exciting stretch goals as the project continues!
The entire book will be printed in hardcover, meaning that all backers at the $25 level and higher will be benefit from an "upgraded" edition.
We will add a bonus story, adapting a Lovecraftian tale into a story written by Jamie Chambers and illustrated by Ben Mund!
The last page of the book will be an activity sheet in the style of those found in children's menus at your favorite family restaurant—with only mild risk of insanity.
$15,000 - Lovecraftian ABCs - UNLOCKED
A bonus, fully illustrated eBook/PDF will be created to teach the alphabet, Lovecraft-style along with a video edition read by Prentice Osbourne (of our Kickstarter preview).
$18,000 - Illustrated Poem
A bonus, fully-illustrated eBook/PDF will be created to marry Lovecraftian themes to quirky children's poetry written by Lester Smith and illustrated by Ben Mund.

Risks and challenges
The good news is product in the last stages and we already have quotes from printers we have worked with in the past, so once the funding is in we can make a final decision and go to press right away. We designed the rewards to be those we could produce quickly without too many opportunities for things to go wrong.
Nothing is without risk of delay or mishap, however. Though unlikely, there could be printing delays or some mistake in the binding that might slow things down. We will work with our fulfillment partner to turn around all outgoing rewards as soon as possible!
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
I've communicated with all the backers both with an update and by email, but in case there is confusion I'll sum it up here: All backers who were due to receive this book from the previous Kickstarter will not only get the final book, but a pre-release "proof" edition signed by Ben Mund AND a Cthulhupillar "head" card to go with their game. You don't have to back this project to receive those rewards. However, if you want to support this new Kickstarter, please contact me and we'll figure out your rewards!
Some people have asked for extra copies of the books for gifts. Awesome! Just increase your pledge level by $18 for each extra copy and don't worry, we'll cover any extra shipping. Limit 3 extra copies through the Kickstarter (so total of 4). We'll check the total number of books you're expecting as part of the backer survey. If you miss the end of the Kickstarter, no worries. Just message me privately here so it identifies you as a backer and we'll make payment arrangements for the extra books separately.
The $5 reward level gets you only the initial book in PDF form. The $10 level gets you all the digital files associated with the project. Anyone at the $25 level or higher gets all of the digital files as well as part of the package.

The absence of salespeople in C-level positions perhaps reflects the fact that twenty years ago, when it was fashionable to promote top sales people to the CEO slot, the results were frequently catastrophic. Anyone remember John Akers, the Number One Sales Guy at IBM who, as CEO, nearly destroyed the company? Or how venture capitalists grew over-fond of expelling founding CEOs in order to replace them with sales people... and then saw most of these companies fail? The reason sales people tend to make poor C-level executives is that sales is a tactical, short-term business whereas C-level folks are tasked with strategic decision-making and guidance. Sales is also just the middle part of the overall value chain - everything must be connected in order to deliver lasting and sustainable value to customers, and thereby achieve the rewards of success. Focusing on sales is almost always a recipe for good short-term results at the cost of longer-term decline.
@ CA-Ox: CEO's are salespeople too. Salesmanship exists in everyone of us. Everyday we are selling people to either believe in us, or our products and company. Without salespeople, there will be no CEO. Without salespeople, commerce will cease. Nothing happens in business unless the salesperson sells. Either you sell the customer on yes, or they sell you on no, no matter.
Does your first paragraph mean that the company hires no female sales people?
No matter how much online comparison or how many unbiased reviews you read, nothing will ever match the pitch of a well-trained salesman. A good salesman can sell you air, just as long as they have access to you.
In my experience I find that the majority of medium size business, and entrepreneurs are "sales-y" type people. You have to sell your idea and vision, not just to clients, but key executives, suppliers, and investors as well as customers.
Even at a larger scale, think of Anita Roddick, Richard Branson, Alan Sugar, even Soichiro Honda.
Quite often companies settle in a sad equilibriumm where excellent sales mask a poor product, or a great product, allows mediocre sales processes to be "good enough"
The way to make a very high rate of return on capital is to put above average sales with above average services/products...
When I invest in start ups I want at least one sales person in the team.
Richard Lucas
The definition of a "salesman/person" has changed with the times. Tom Watson Sr. was called "The World's Greatest Salesman" upon his death. I have just published a book on his leadership during the Great Depression, possibly the toughest test of a CEO's "salesmanship" in modern times.
He said the following about being the Salesman-in-Chief and President of IBM:
"I started as a salesman and they call me "President" now; but I call myself "salesman," and I will never let my thoughts get away from selling and from the conviction that my duty is selling. When any man in any business moves up from the selling to other positions and loses sight of the importance of selling.......he is going the other way—he isn't going up; he is going down. He may not know it but he will soon find out."
Sales to him was an honorable profession and he demanded men/women of character in those positions. He promoted from the sales ranks because he believed, "As a rule, you will get from your sales organization a higher percentage of men who will grasp the big problem of how to run the business than from any other division of your organization."
Of course his definition of "running a business" was not financial manipulation, but revenue growth. Today, many corporations drive earnings per share rather than revenue. Any corporation focused on earnings per share, is most likely run by the financial organization and they don't know it yet but as Tom Watson Sr. said, "they may not know it but they will soon be going down."

The World's Greatest Salesman, An IBM Caretaker's Perspective: Looking Back
Something doesn't add up, at least in the Indian context. I work in the IT industry and I can tell you that sales is rewarded and feted to an extent that is almost unfair to the other functions -- developers, marketers and support staff who also contribute to the sale. And the researcher who said that Indian salespeople prefer commission-only compensation must have talked to some strange companies -- in most industries I know, salesmen compensation is a damn good salary + incentives.
We all need each other. A great product, service or company without sales is a tragedy and people need to be sold to, to be encouraged to make the final commitment, a task which good sales people do better than any other media.
However, most sales people operate in a context of which many seem unaware, i.e that their "prospect" is before them because of a series of deliberate or propitious events such as previous good experience of the company or its people, effective marketing and advertising. So good sales people deserve excellent rewards for the excellent talents they have developed and no beneficiary elsewhere in the organisation should begrudge them those well earned rewards, so long as they are commensurate with the value and they focus the salesperson's behaviour on "good" sales that the organisation can deliver to the customers' and all the stakeholders' mutual satisfaction.
The purpose of the salesperson should be to win over (not defeat, cheat or entice) a person to be a customer. The purpose of everyone else in the organisation is to ensure that the customer feels that they have made the right choice so that they want to by again, they want to buy more and they want to tell others about the good choice they have made. We are all in sales and we are all in service. Selling is a service, when done well, i.e. helping the customer to make the right buying decision, matching the customer's real needs and wants most effectively to what the company offers (and guiding the customer elsewhere this time if the company cannot meet their needs as well as a competitor. Few sales people can do that, but those who do win enormous respect, trust and thus future business. It needs a confidence and long-term focus that few sales people seem to have today.
Another commentator wondered if the article meant to refer only to salesmen. It interests me that by far the most successful sales people I have known in many industries have been women. It is not because they are women, but because they ask the most questions, listen and observe best and seem genuinely interested in the customer and enthused by the service they can offer them. As a result the customer tells them more and feels safer and better with them. By 'successful", I mean selling more volume at higher margins that the customer perceives as excellent value for the price.
Sales is an integral part of marketing,its right at the sharp end. Everybody sells at some point in their lives, whether doctor, lawyer, suitor or politician. The problem is that salesmen, like marketing people, have been very poor at selling their own expertise. The cliche of the Willy Loman type, or the glengarry glenross, is a very far cry from the professional salesman. These people sell based on thorough knowledge of their product, their company and their consumers. This what they rely on, not charm, charisma or joining clients at the bar..after all, you can only deceive a customer once. Unless, of course, the guy works on Wall Street where just about everyone is a salesman and just about all of them hucksters.
erm you can't teach everyone to be a good sales person, only certain personality types are ever any good, the qualities required can be listed, but the individual has to be born with the intrinsic personal qualities required. First and foremost it is relentlessness, and then secondly and equally as important the ability to handle rejection and objection, and certainly not everyone can do that.
Certain products are fairly easy to sell (a convertible bond to a CB investor for example), others like climbing Everest (unsold advertising inventory in the Economist to Coke out of plan), selling over a phone is vastly different to selling face to face, both of which pale into difficulty when compared to unsolicited door to door, with every sales situation unique as to why the sale either occurred or failed.
Selling to someone who needs a product or an option is a vastly different than selling to someone who does not feel any compulsion to buy.
Whilst one can appreciate the desire for companies to standardise the process, as they do with all of their other processes, this particular process is driven primarily by psychology, of both the buyer and the sales person. If one can figure out how to bottle everything that is happening when a sale is made and replicate it thousands of times over, give me a call, I'd be the first guy to buy it.
No wonder Germany has had such success. Companies with this type of a support system are sure to flourish as they motivate their employees and keep everyone happy. It is hard enough to sell a product so it is great to have recognition when you do.
The crucial piece of every company that so many startups forget.
The question is : who is a sales person? Customer support are sales just as much as the guy in the shiny suit.
I was at a family reunion and one of my cousin's husband asked me what I did. I told him I was in sales. He said "You can't be, you are way to quiet." To which I told him "It's better to listen than to talk, you don't learn anything when you are talking."
"That's exactly true!" chimed in one of my other cousins, who just happened to be in purchasing/sourcing for a F500 company. Good salespeople listen.
Now, undoubtably the ability to 'socially lubricrate' a situation helps foster relationships and extend conversations, but todays life of the party can be tomorrows blow-hard.
The CIA should stop prowling Ivy League schools and start looking at pro-salespeople. Get information from people that is contrary to their organizations well-being? A good salesperson has done that a few times before lunch on Monday, every week.
Sales was the first profession and will be the last. At the end of world, the last person in line with St. Peter is going to make the presentation and pitch of their (everafter) life.
I disagree... The Salesman is a vanishing breed, and rightly so. That doesn't mean that selling isn't important. We all sell. We live in a society of choice and persuasion where we are constantly trying to get other people to do things. But there is a difference between a professional salesman and one who sells.
The professional Salesman is a marketing channel based on a "push" strategy. Such strategies made sense in an era of expensive media and imperfect markets. In the Web 2.0 world, marketers can get their message out to targeted prospects for pennies per click, and buyers have easy access to tools for finding, evaluating and purchasing what they want. The result is that for many industries and an increasing number of products, the salesman has been disintermediated.
Consider the process for buying a new car: You can either wander into a dealership and haggle with a pushy salesman in a zero-sum game involving his commission vs. your savings. Or you can do your research online and then contact the internet departments of the dealers in your area for their best quote on the vehicle of your choice. The latter is a more efficient channel, typically resulting in savings to buyers, and higher sales at lower cost for dealers that embrace the method.
A winning marketing strategy is an irresistible offer made to a targeted prospect through a trusted medium. The professional salesman is an increasingly less effective substitute.
Amen. Schumpeter.
What my Wharton MBA did not teach me. SALES.
At Wharton, I found that there were two types of the entrepreneurs: the "paper entrepreneurs" (the-i-spent-my-whole-summer-writing-this business-plan) and the "real entrepreneurs" (over-this-past-summer-I hung-up-my-shingle-and-opened-my-business) types. I, having started my first business at 5 and being born to modest family, have always leaned towards the latter. Thus, I was always fascinated that in most of my Wharton entrepreneurship classes, making money (aka. selling) was an afterthought. Sure...we talked about how get ROIs and IRRs, but how to turn $20 into $50 or $2,000 into $4,000 was always overlooked.
In marketing class, you learn the 4Ps (product, price, place, promotion). You learn how to create a brand with a Pepsi Co. size budget, not with self-printed business cards, a wordpress site, and a google voice number. You learn how to manage-people-at-work with incentives and 360s, not to manage people when you pay them minimum wage or when you are the IT person, accounts receivable, hr, marketing, sales, customer services, biz dev. and a work bee!
Working with closely held businesses, it never ceases to amaze that at the core of any growth strategy is SALES. No matter if you are going from $100k-$300k or $5m to $10m, or even from $1bn to IPO, you are still selling something. Every business owner knows, sales is lifeblood of business.
I enjoyed reading people's comments and glad to offer a few praises to our unsung heroes and heroines--salespeople.
-Mayra Ceja
Death of a salesman will never be. There is something about the human interaction that assures buyers of what they are paying for. Online people are more opt to second guess payment and information. It is common knowledge not to trust everything you read on-line. As a sales associate I truly look for what is best for the customer. I sell technical running shoes and look forward to helping people find the right fit, style, comfort, and level every day. As for pay, I hate commission. I would much rather have a set wage and go from there. Commission has its benefits but I have found more cons than pros in this method for not only myself but also the company.
For a counter example of a good sales force, consider the demise of Circuit City. Their staff were more commission oriented than Best Buy staff for some reason. The pushy sales effort turned me off, and apparently some (many) others. And I definitely don't need the extended warranty; thank you and get out of my way.
I think the modern sales leader is definitely an evolution from the old image many of us may have of the slick-talking salesman. While working at BladeLogic and working on my MBA I had the fortune to interview John McMahon our VP of Sales on his leadership style. He laid out what he wanted from his sales force in crisp, measurable, actionable terms. Later another manager referred to McMahon as having "the heart of a salesman and the brain of a process engineer." Sales leaders like that are vital to the growth of firms. Mr. Vijay Menon mentioned in earlier comments that salespeople are rewarded highly in high tech and that was my experience as well. Indeed balancing the tradeoff between billings now and long term revenues later is the major challenge that firms have.
Aren't we all salesmen?
Everytime Micklethwaite speaks to an audience or represents The Economist he's "selling" it. My doctor has sold me on his services and recently I've had to sell my ideas to my family to keep us moving in the right direction.
There is no shortage of problems out there and anybody who has a good solution to the problems is selling just that, a solution. It may be measured in dollars/pounds/yen but we're always selling or looking to buy.
Dear Sir, just seen the film "Margin Call" where a fictional Wall Street firm's traders liquidate an entire business unit in a day. Fire sale! There is lip service paid to the reputation-damage and peer-destruction that would have resulted, the fact that your business ceases to exist when you shaft your marketplace is speculative and not part of the drama. Shame. Short-termism seen to win again.
The best Sales type is a listener. Such as how to sell again to a complaining customer - Describe the problem? Do you know what you are doing? Really? Need help? $!
Sure, Sales have to know their product; but they have to get a feel for where their customer is at to sell them air (great, fill up the tanks, check the BCD too!) - oh, sorry, luftgeschäft. Another interesting selling technique is buying - it's the Amway way, "to set a room on fire" - create scarcity or the impression of it.
Guess that's also called the Boiler-room technique, as it's also used by religion and also in scams. And so false leadership and financial scam are two forms of sales deception we all face, the same as when Arthur Miller wrote, so nobody need be surprised that when Sales shows up the filters go up, too...

Soma and Flexeril are two medications in the same type, muscle relaxants. Actually, I don't think either of them show up on a drug screen for the usual narcotic and illicit meds, as they are neither. The only way to be found on a drug screen is to individually test for each med separately, which most certainly be cost prohibitive. Just in case you were concerned ... the answer is NO.
Take care,
I truly don't mean to sound like a dick. I have to let you, and others know, you may have costed some one a job, or sent to jail. Please don't speak if you're not educated in this area or a medical professional.
I have a masters in nursing with a heavy emphasis on pharmacology. I have been drug tested out the wazoo and neither of these meds has ever shown up on a drug screen... even the detailed one done by my pain doc. I don't think Flexeril or Soma is gonna send anyone anywhere except maybe to bed.
Knowledge is power, dude.

Flexeril is closely related to tricyclic antidepressants so if the drug test contains tricyclic antidepressants then you will show up positive, as for Soma, the only way to test for it, is if it is specifically written down to test for Soma, other wise your fine. There are forms of soma that come in the combination of codeine, soma, and aspirin (or Tylenol) if I remember correctly. I'm sure you would know if you were on that. I believe one form would be football shaped say Wallace, then 2403 on one side. If you're not getting it from a doctor, look up the pill from bing.com, the same with the flexeril. I hope this will help you in time

Mathew Sweezey | June 12, 2014 | Comments
Content is no longer novel; just having it provides no value to consumers. Marketers must produce content that adds value in order engage customers.
While researching the rise in content marketing, I came to a realization. Content is not king, and companies that operate under this assumption may actually be hurting their brand more than helping it.
The true measure of content is the experience the person has with it. My recent research showed that 64 percent of buyers would only be slightly likely to ever read content you produce again if their first experience with your content was disappointing. Understanding why consumers feel this way, and learning to produce quality over quantity, are the keys to a great content strategy.
By looking at the reasons consumers are so sensitive to content, you can easily understand their reaction. There are more than 152 million blogs in the world and more than 1 billion emails sent every day - meaning that consumers are being exposed to more content than ever. Think about it! At the height of physical printing (2008), there were more magazines and newspapers printed than ever before or since. At that time, the total number of publications in circulation was roughly 22,000. The average American spent 33 minutes per week reading and 6.56 hours consuming digital content (TV, Internet, or mobile content). As of this year, that number has reached 12 hours - an increase of almost 100 percent in four years.
The fact that a person is subjected to this much content creates a few economic changes in the ways they perceive content and what they expect from it. First off, the basic economics of supply and demand are fairly easy to understand. In an elastic market, the more of something you have, the lower the value of each individual unit. Content is an elastic market because you will not die without it, meaning that the more content choices a person has, the less value each piece of content has to them. Content is no longer novel; just having content provides no value to them. In fact, your company is expected to have content, because it is both necessary and ubiquitous.
Due to the amount of content consumers are exposed to, they get to see really amazing things, and they expect to have similar experiences with your content. They do not expect to have their minds blown with visual appeal, or movie magic, but rather want authentic and helpful experiences.
The other thing we need to remember about content is that we are usually asking for something in return. This is the foundation of content marketing, as taught by Seth Godin in his book Permission Marketing. We are asking the consumer to give us something in exchange for our work. This means that for them to be willing to "pay," you must prove you can provide them with something of value, i.e. your content.
I wanted to prove this was the case, so I set out to survey a group of 417 B2B buyers. In the survey, I asked how many people had ever been disappointed by content, and 71 percent responded that they had. Of these respondents, 64 percent of them said they would only be slightly likely to ever engage with content from that vendor ever again. It's easy now to understand why. You promised them value, but failed to follow through on your promise, and with so many other options, it is easy for them to not have to engage with you.
From now on, when you are creating content, think about the following: What is your relationship with the consumer at that point in their engagement cycle? Make something of value for them, and then follow up to make sure you provided that value. If not, you may end up driving traffic only to never see your consumers again. Good luck with your content strategy, but remember it's about providing value, not publishing content.

Great hotel alternative
Posted Jul 3, 2012Pros: Clean, convenient, well furnished.
Location: This particular apartment was in Gracia, up from la Sagrada Familia. It was pretty quiet considering we were there during the festival of Sant Joan.
The only problem that we encountered as a computer generated e-mail that instructed us to report to the wrong Daily Flats office, far from our actual rented apartment. The staff was friendly and nice. They ordered a cab and paid for the trip to the correct office. The apartment was immaculate and perfect for a short stay.

KID DO U SEE THE LOCKS GEAR? lets be real rn LOL u double his Dmg?
Didn't notice the locks gear jesus. Imo. Well played for the gear. Would like to get you guys again fully geared up. On a side note. Damn good to see some new faces on the alliance lately. Hopefully we can get some more. |
1/3=/= 1/2 1/3=.33=33% mathamematics are fun |
Wrong some anti confrontational durp demoted me so when I logged in I shared my thoughts on it then gquit. Cool story though, almost believable if i wasn't behind the keyboard when it happened. |
Sitting full polymorphs since 1977
lmao it's funny to bash on the fact that like one poly my sw:d didn't work but I see why you would be soooo proud to beat me you 1800 scrub lmaoo. tell me what comp u wanna war game me with and i'll destroy your little scrubie scrub face. not even sure if i should do it tbh. not worth my time .
Edited by Laplotte on 7/24/2012 10:34 AM PDT
btw u pay ppl to play with u im done
also you get so hard off of winning against plotte have the nerve to put it on forums because you're so happy you beat a lock with BLUES that was basically his 3rd time in arenas ever as lock i barely play my rogue EVER id bg prob like 3 times every 5 weeks and do some arenas rarely and had no clue what i was doing the whole game and still almost lost CYA
Edited by Lightsightx on 7/24/2012 10:39 AM PDT
Lol you sat two full polymorphs fail swd's are different than it not working. I have beat you multiple times. 83% this season, or 5/6 for your not so mathematically inclined friends. So yes I love throwing the loss in your face, especially when this 1800 scrub consistently beats you. |
That was when my Mage was in full ruthless and just hit 85, even still I was putting out consistent damage. In addition payment was in wow gold, which can also be referred to a monopoly money especially for the trivial amount that was spent. Maybe your lock should pay for some lessons with me? :P
Edited by Vdizzle on 7/24/2012 11:07 AM PDT
Ya you still lost good point. The reason I posted this on the forums is to laugh at the responses you guys would give, and there were plenty of laughs. Cya |

New Jersey's Superior Court will soon hear arguments regarding two motions in a lawsuit leveled against a Jewish group that offers therapy to change a person's sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.
Two motions were filed on behalf of JONAH International in its legal battle against the Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center, which is known for labeling faith-based organizatons as "hate groups" due to their opposition to homosexuality and pro-gay agendas.
The SPLC also filed parallel motions against JONAH on behalf of its clients, which Arthur Goldberg, co-director of JONAH, described as "misguided motions [that] are based on the false assumption that homosexuality is a 'normal variant of human sexuality' and that sexual orientation cannot 'change.'" more >>
For years XXXchurch.com founder Craig Gross has been passionate about helping Christians struggling with pornography addiction and evangelizing men and women working in the porn industry. Now he has a new passion: to break Christians' silence about sex.
"When you come into marriage, there still seems to be this off-limits talk about sex where I haven't told my wife this is what I like or I like to do this," Gross shared with The Christian Post.
Together with his wife, Jeanette, and Dave and Ashley Willis of Strongermarriages.org, they recently launched the Best Sex Life Now video series to help Christian couples work on their sex life. more >>
Seven homeschool children, whose parents claim were unjustly removed from their custody by the state of Arkansas earlier this month on child abuse allegations, still remain in the state's custody after a court ruled there was probable cause to keep the children until after the parents could be judged in a mid-Feburary trial.
On Jan. 12, state and local police officers removed the seven Stanley children from their parents' home after conducting a five-hour warranted search in light of alleged child abuse complaints filed by the Stanleys' neighbors.
After the police found a legal but somewhat dangerous substance called Miracle Mineral Solution — which is known to be a remedy for cancer and AIDS — in the home, the police took the seven children and told the parents that they would be returned after 72 hours, according to their father, Hal Stanley. more >>
A Christian blogger under fire for saying women who wear leggings inadvertently risk tempting members of the opposite sex, says that she and her husband are under attack from Satan.
Oregon resident Veronica Partridge, 25, sparked a firestorm of criticism earlier this month when she said she had chosen to stop wearing leggings as pants in public to honor her Christian faith in a candid blog post that went viral.
While supporters have praised the married mother of one for promoting modesty, her Facebook page has been flooded with criticism from people who say that her post promotes gender stereotypes and sexism. more >>
During the President's State of the Union address this week, he proposed a plan for restructuring the tax code to help middle class families. While initially appealing, his proposals are decidedly one sided. I expressed my displeasure with the plan here, but wanted to take the opportunity to interview my friend Brad Wilcox, one of the nation's foremost sociologists on family structure, who also expressed frustration with the President's plan in a series of tweets. Wilcox is the Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, and a Visiting Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. You can follow him on twitter here.
Walker: During this week's State of the Union, you tweeted in disappointment that the President's tax relief plan for middle class families–which would triple the child-care tax credit to $3000 and add a dual-earner credit of $500–excluded any specific policies for households with a stay-at-home-parent. Why were you disappointed?
Wilcox: The president could have easily chosen to offer a tax reform plan that served all low-income and middle-class families. Instead, he offered a plan that serves only families headed by two earners. There's no place for the traditional family in the president's plan. What's more: the President's proposed dual-earner credit provides no relief to middle-class families headed by a single parent. more >>
Robert Griffin III, the Christian Washington Redskins quarterback, recently explained why the theme of his new charitable organization is family.

Nowadays, some fans and creators feel that the innocence of superheroes should be lessened to the nth degree. Why? Why should the grand morality of comic books slip away when it seems to be gaining ground again?
I asked Mark Waid if he thought that comic books containing Superman were more accessible to younger readers than in the past. He said, "I think more so than most comics, and certainly moreso these days under the new regime."
See, what I think is that we are in the middle of a grand and great era of comics creatively. The problem lies in the sales and exposure department. But the new Superman creative teams are leading the charge. They have made the Man of Steel the biggest, boldest and greatest character in the industry.
Do you think that "kids these days" will turn off their Playstation 2s to even read a comic book? Do you think they will feel that rush as they finish a new issue of Superman or any superhero comic for that matter?
I think they will.
It's going to all come back bigger and grander than ever. That's because Loeb and the rest of the gang have given us back the Man of Steel. The dumb thing is we are too jaded to realize it. The "we" I am referring to are the ones who turned away from comics during the Speculator Boom of the mid-90s.
It's the beginning of 2001. There is a job left to do.
I also asked Tony Isabella-creator of Black Lightning and writer on..well, you name it. He has been a scribe of Superman too. I asked him why folks are still attracted to Superman as a character.
Tony said, "Superman works on so many levels. He's our childhood fantasies of flight. He's our adolescent fantasy of being so much more than we appear to an unknowing world. And, if we've learned anything from his classic adventures, he's our adult fantasy of making the world a better place for all people."
So, this year let us get some readers back. Spread the word. Attend conventions and ask creators what they are doing and how you can help. Write snail mail letters to letter columns and comic companies.
I think this is the year it's all going to change. Just look up in the sky and believe.

Best of Loudoun
A few weeks ago there was an online survey going around in the community for Best Of. There were several local businesses that I frequent that were nominated that I kept meaning to go online and vote for. Unfortunately, I kept putting it off (never remembered when I was on my computer!) And by the time I remembered the results had already been posted! Imagine my surprise when I was skimming through the results and saw my very own shop name in the Tips From Locals for Best Etsy Shop!!
Seriously, I could not believe it! Mind you, it was after 11pm at night when I came across the article and was half asleep, I did a complete double take! I cannot tell you how humbled I am by this! I have some of the best customers, family, and friends anyone could ask for!! Crafty Natalie is so tiny compared to so many of the shops on Etsy so trust me when I say that I am truly grateful for those of you who wrote me in in the tips for locals! Two weeks later and I am STILL blown away by this!
Boo-Boo Bags
With two boys its inevitable that bumps and bruises happen! I decided it was time to make a couple boo-boo bags to have on hand in the freezer! When my oldest was younger we had a Boo-Boo Bunny but that didn't last too long, the frozen cube somehow disappeared and we've been using Ziploc bags since! I've seen a lot of people make their own boo-boo bags and fill it with rice, beans, or corn kernels (not popping corn!!) I decided to make a few and experiment with the fillings to see which held the temperature best when frozen or heated up. (Of course since making them, neither of the boys has fallen or needed one, so I have yet to see which works best!)
I decided to make a few cuter shaped ones than just the plain squares- love the bear and the whale, but definitely a bit of a pain to get the grains into the parts that are curvy! I've also thought about putting essential oils, such as lavender or peppermint, into the rice sacks for a more calming and soothing pack; these would be great for even for adults when we have migraines or headaches! I also read that people are making smaller rice sacks and using them as pocket hand warmers! What a great idea now that winter has hit and the temps are dropping! Pretty sure there will be a few snow days coming up soon that hand warmers may come in handy!
It's a New Year!
It's been a while since my last post! The holidays have come and gone and it's a New Year!! Just wanted to say thank you to all that have stuck around and supported me and my little shop! 2014 was a great year! We had our second baby and built our forever home in the process! In hindsight, having a baby and moving at the same time is definitely not ideal!! Trying to sell a home with two little ones, even more stressful! But we managed and we are settled in nicely in our new home now! I've managed to get back into the swing of things! Taking six months off kind of put me in a rut and I even contemplated closing my shop down, but I'm glad I didn't! If anything, the holiday madness of craft shows and custom orders helped get me excited for all the fun things that I've had planned in my head! I'm looking forward to this new year and creating more unique gifts for everyone!
Camera Strap and Covers
I realized that I never posted this cute camera strap I made LAST SUMMER! (And actually, I don't even think I ever posted any of the camera strap covers that I've made in the past either?! I just tried scouring my blog to link back to them, and no such luck! Luckily I had posted them on my Facebook page so I can at least show one of them!)
So, first I'll show the camera strap cover!
A few summers ago, I had several requests for camera straps. (Is it sad that this photo was originally taken back in 2012 and I'm just getting around to showing it now?!) This is one of the ones I made to show as a sample. These covers are fun because they can be easily swapped out (there's no way you'd catch my husband carrying this around!) but also give your standard black strap some "personality"!
Last summer as we prepared for our trip to Disney World I decided to make a new strap, not just a cover. I ended up choosing a gender neutral fabric that would be fun- Pac Man! I bought a pack of leather swatches from Michaels to use as the tabs on the strap, and took apart a small dog collar to get the smaller, durable webbing to use for the straps. I ended up just using the slider pieces from my existing strap since I didn't know where else to buy any!
I personally love these actual straps more than the cover version! I know some people like the extra padding with the covers, but I don't like to wear a lot of bulk so the actual strap version is more my style! Once I can get find a supplier for more of the hardware I think I'd like to include a few in the shop!
Creamy Jalapeno Dip
A few weeks back my friend treated me to a home cooked birthday lunch! One of the dishes was a yummy appetizer that is a copycat recipe from Chuy's. I've never eaten at a Chuy's (I think it's a Texas based restaurant and it only just opened up recently in the NOVA area). I love Mexican food, and I'm totally a sucker for any kind chips and dip! The dip she made was based after this recipe she found on Pinterest. Since I've never eaten there, I don't know how much it tastes like the real thing, but what I can say is that this stuff is seriously awesome and SOOOO addictive!! After searching for other copycat recipes I think this one probably sounds the yummiest (there are quite a few that are mayonnaise based so I think just for the "lightness" factor I like this one best!) We've made it a few times since I was introduced to it! If you are turned off by the jalapenos and chile, it is a fairly mild dip, I altered the recipe just slightly and my three year old LOVES it, so it's definitely not super spicy (though if you want it to be spicier by all means add more jalapenos and chile!! I've generally stuck to one jalapeno when making it because I have a young one eating it!)
Chuy's Copycat Jalapeno Dip
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dip
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1/4 cup roasted green chilies ( I used half of a canned jar but man, I bet fresh roasted chilies would totally make this dip!! I also read on some other copycat recipes that people were just using salsa verde, so if you don't want to buy green chilies and have salsa verde on hand, I'm guessing it would work just the same!)
- 1-2 jalapenos, sliced (if you are worried about spiciness you can always deseed it, or only use one!)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup milk to thin it out
- Blend everything together, refrigerate and serve cold! It should make almost 3 cups of dip- but trust me it will go fast! Great with celery and carrot sticks too!
Autumn Decor
When we had started planning for the new house one of the items on my wish list was a front porch! I always envisioned sitting out on the porch during the warm months just watching the kids play and run around! Well summer is over and I still haven't found the "perfect" porch set to sit on! Guess it's a good thing I now have till spring to figure that out! But with the porch looking so bare, it's time to start with some other decorations!
At the old house we hardly ever put out seasonal decorations, mainly because there wasn't a whole lot of room, and partially because we got lazy! Now that we are settled and have the kids to create fun things for, I figured seasonal decorations are probably a must now so I really have to get on it!
I decided on something simple and small. I like the idea of decorating but always have to remember what goes up eventually has to come back down! I figured for our porch we'd stick to an Autumn theme and not necessarily Halloween that way I could keep the same decorations up until after Thanksgiving! I decided on some hay bales- well, make that ONE hay bale!! I had actually bought a couple and once I opened up one my OCD took over, the flying hay all over me and the porch was enough for me to say no thank you, one is enough and back to Michaels I went to return the other! We normally buy pumpkins but I decided that in addition to some real ones, to buy a fake white one that I could embellish that we could use year after year. The hardest part was trying to decide which font to use for our family name!
I wanted to add a pop of color to my display, and one of my favorite fall colors is deep purple/plum, so I decided to paint an old pasta jar to hold some fall sprigs. I ended up also cutting a fall saying out of some metallic vinyl and tied some twine around the mouth of the jar. I think the purple looks great against all the orange and red!
I wanted to add a few other pieces and found a metal owl that went perfectly! And we all know how much I love owls! My son picked out a tiny scarecrow pic to stick into the hay bale. All in all I love the simplicity of our fall porch!
Beer and Wine Lover Gifts
Since the holidays are coming up I thought I'd work on a few new gift ideas for the beer or wine lover! I always try and throw in something handmade with my Christmas gifts- and purses, baby gifts, and other tumblers can only go so far!
I had come across a fun beer geek periodic table type graphic tee and thought those would be fun to recreate and put on the Brews and Vino 2 Go's! Let me tell you, staring at the periodic table and recreating the squares for these things about made me cross-eyed! And totally reminded me how much I disliked chemistry in high school! And anyone who thinks that creating something as *simple* as this takes a few minutes, you're wrong! I know it's a pretty standard font, but I must've redesigned this a dozen times to get the font to what I wanted!! Go figure standard serif fonts would be the death of me!
I do love the way it turned out and hope that people will think it's a fun gift idea! I may be making a few beer lovers some tees to go with it!
A few weeks ago I had a friend ask if I could make a coffee mug with the "Shhh, there may be wine in here" saying on it. I guess it must be a popular thing right now because I also had someone request the same thing with, "There's a chance this is wine!" It took me a while to find some blank coffee mugs and when I found some black ones I knew using pink (or even turquoise!) vinyl would be the perfect color combo! The fonts I used are my go to girly kind of fonts! Especially since they are thicker styled fonts too! I dread thin fonts (mainly not only because they are a bear to weed and not lose pieces!) but also because durability wise, the thicker the font the more adhesive to stick onto your object and longer staying power!
I think the pink really pops against the black! These would make some cute co-worker gifts! I am sure I am not the only one who would wish their coffee mug at work was filled with something a little stronger sometimes!
Wood Art Frame
Wood art has always been on my list of things to work on! I have several ideas that I want to create for the house, but I just haven't gotten around to it! So, when I was contacted by my brother in law's niece to make her an anniversary gift, I of course agreed! I scoped out several places for some reclaimed wood but was unable to find any. I was REALLY tempted to go dumpster diving in the neighborhood since our street is still under construction and some building materials gets delivered on pallets, every now and then some pallets get left behind! Let me tell you, it took everything in me not to scrounge around the dumpsters for wood that's being recycled!
Since my attempts at reclaimed wood failed, I ended up just going to Home Depot for some of their pine boards. My husband was able to saw it for me (I ended up using him too to do all the drilling to attach everything together!) The most tedious part of the project really was to sand everything down. This order was actually really simple because I was given the color theme and basically told to do whatever I wanted with it! I had wanted to make a nice frame attachment for the photo and found some laser cut frames from Michaels that I was able to paint. I still need to figure out-or get a different saw- how to make a frame attachment on the wooden boards where the picture can be swapped out! Since the order was supposed to be in black and white, I first painted part of the boards white for the lettering. Then cut out the phrase in vinyl and stuck it on top of the parts that were painted white, and then painted the entire frame black. (Apparently this is called the Paint Vinyl Paint method!) There was some bleeding after I removed the vinyl to show the white lettering. Of course I found out after I completed the project that some people will actually go back over and paint the vinyl the color of what is underneath to seal it in again to prevent bleeding of the main color! (Yup, and that would be the Paint Vinyl Paint Paint method!) DUH, not sure why I didn't think of that or even see that method till after the fact! Oh well, now I know for next time! Once everything was dry I ended up lightly sanding just to give it a not so stark look, and then coated the entire board with a sealant.
I love the way the board turned out and was thrilled that the couple loved it too! It definitely was a lot less intimidating than I thought it would be, and now that I've got this one under my belt, I can get started on some new ones for the house!
Chalk Paint Table Makeover
When we moved into our new house, the kitchen table that we had from the townhouse was way too small for the new space. It took us over a month to find a new one that would work in our new kitchen area so we had to make do with the tiny table for a short time! My husband had planned on tossing out the old table once the new one was delivered but I begged him to let me keep it! I had plans for it! (The words he dreads hearing I'm sure! ) I had previously made over a few other pieces of furniture, and it was not as easy in real life as it is in my head when I'm planning these things! Last year, after I gave an old accent table a makeover I thought, ugh, never again! The sanding alone was enough to make me forget ever wanting to redo any furniture! But then I kept reading about chalk paint (first I'd heard of the Annie Sloan chalk paint) and then discovered a new product called BB Frosch Chalk Paint Powder (to me that was the most logical because you could mix the powder into paint you already had!!) I had thought about ordering some, but of course while at Michaels one day I came across the Americana brand of chalk paint (and I had a 40% coupon off that I could use! So in the end, convenience and a sale won out!)
There wasn't a great selection at Michael's (not sure if it was just over sold, or if my local store just didn't have a lot in stock), but one of the colors that was available was exactly what I had in mind! I chose the Treasure color because it actually matched a cabinet I had made over that was currently in my new studio space (which reminds me that I have not shared that previous make-over either! Been trying to find the before picture of the cabinet so I could show what it looked like before I painted!) Sadly, I also don't have a before picture of this table either, but from the above picture you can see it's just your ordinary wooden table. I ended up doing two coats of the Treasure color. I decided to just keep the table legs in its original black (partially out of laziness and partially because I thought the contrast of the turquoise and black would be fun!)
After I had finished the table top I realized I wanted some kind of wax finish on it. I figured since it'd be a table that I'd be sitting at and working on, it would probably need some kind of protection. On a recent trip to Jo-ann Fabrics I discovered that they have a line of chalk paint there as well made by FolkArt so I decided to try one of their finishing waxes (and of course had a 40% off coupon to use!) Their display was much more abundant than the one at Michaels, it seemed they had a handful more colors of paints as well, and three different finishing waxes! I chose the white wax to finish off my table with!
Overall I love the finished product! Both brands of chalk paint that are readily available at the local craft stores were really easy to use. I love the way the white finishing wax softened up the turquoise color (slight user error on my part because as I started to finish the table I didn't quickly wipe away the wax initially so there are some spots that are more white than others!) But overall, I will take chalk paint over sanding and priming any day!
Cozy Coupe Makeover
Last year I kept seeing all sorts of fun Cozy Coupe makeovers on Pinterest. Since we were in the process of moving and putting things into storage, redoing something for our son was out of the question! So once we got settled into the new house and I found one being sold on a local yard sale site for $4 I had to grab it! Our son is tall, so even though he's only 3.5yrs old, he probably won't get much use out of it after this year but at least it can get passed on to his little bro! We went through several different ideas until he settled on wanting a fire and rescue car. I figured that worked best because I could just spray paint it white and reddish/orange. Since the spray paint color I picked for the body ended up being so close to the original color I only needed one can of paint (rather than two like I had been seeing from other makeovers who were drastically changing the colors).
The most tedious part really was just removing all the stickers and scrubbing the old car down! Since I suspect this is one of the original versions (have you seen how they've changed through the years! I actually prefer this style over the "bubblier" ones these days!) The car is also missing it's gas cap too, so there was lots of loose debris stuck inside! Since there are also only two screws that need to be taken out, it's a pretty simple spray paint job! Just cover the tires and wheels with some plastic and then once you've cleaned everything you are set to start painting! I kept seeing everyone using the Krylon for plastic spray paint, but they don't carry that at my Home Depot so I ended up using the Rustoleum 2X Ultra Cover Paint+Primer which also works on plastic (only problem I really had was when I first started painting the hood it kind've pooled up and so it looks a little crackled, but I figured it's really no biggie and probably more user error on my part since I was rushing!) I let it dry for a few days and ended up just doing a simple vinyl design on them. I found a fire rescue emblem on Google that I was able to trace and used that for the top of the hood and door. I also just used a regular block font for the words, and then also cut out some new "lights" out of some florescent yellow vinyl for the back. I figured if I went and did anything more extravagant then it might never have gotten done!
All in all, I'm happy with how it turned out! A simple $10 project that hopefully both boys will be able to enjoy while playing outside! (Don't mind the cheesy picture! My son now thinks that all pictures should be of him with his eyes squinted shut! Sighh...I don't know if we'll ever get a good family photo again! )
