Certainly victories are nice, and they're one way to measure the success of a high school sports program.
But sending kids on to college is another gauge, and using that barometer, Allen High School did quite well in the just-completed 2014-15 school year.
At a ceremony at Sewards Gym last week, the Canaries honored 18 kids who are going to play sports at the next level, including field hockey player Maiyah Brown, who is headed to Temple.
The largest contingent, however, came from football where seven players are going on to the next level. Some might be surprised by that number considering Allen didn't win a game last fall.
However, the seven show that things are going in the right direction.
"We're moving this program forward and this is the first step," coach George Clay said. "Our season's a success when I can send seven kids on to college to extend their football careers."
Clay sent three on to college last year — his first in charge at Allen.
"This is great," Clay said. "If we can get these kids to perform in the classroom, it's going to make them better people. And when they get on the field, it makes my job easier to get them to perform for me."
Three of the Canaries are going to perennial PSAC and Division II football power East Stroudsburg University — wide receiver Julius Henry, all-league tackle Brandon Vigo and center Garek Schleder.
Also moving on are David Luna (Delaware Valley), Courtney Watson (Lycoming), Justice Anderson (Moravian) and Manuel Liriano (Misericordia).
"The kids are buying into what we are telling them," Clay said. "You're always going to have those couple who won't, but a majority of the kids realize that in order to move forward it starts in the classroom. And what's nice is that this senior group is already telling the underclassmen to 'not screw up' and work hard. A lot of them had to push to make it this year.
"We want the kids to keep coming back after they've done well to tell everybody that you can succeed in college coming from Allen High School. It's doable, don't let anybody tell you that it's not."
Looking ahead to the 2014 season, Clay said he lost 16 seniors, but added "our up-and-coming classes are doing great."
Clay said 30 to 35 kids have been in the weight room regularly.
"Before we had 10 to 15 kids in the weight room, so we're really doing a lot better and the kids in there are getting bigger and stronger," he said.
Allen's season, like everyone else in the new Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, starts with a cross-division game, against Northampton, which will again play its home games at Nazareth. That one is set for Saturday, Aug. 30.
Meanwhile, the Temple field hockey season begins even earlier with an Aug. 23 date against Villanova.
Brown, a two-time Lehigh Valley Conference all-star, can't wait to get to Philadelphia.
"I chose Temple because it's in the city and there's lots to do down there," she said. "Plus, the coaches and players were very welcoming. They made it seem like it's a family. It's also a nationally ranked program, ranked 17th in the country."
Brown, who scored 36 goals and had 22 assists in her high school career, was chosen to the U.S. Field Hockey Women's Indoor Squad.
Brown is the latest of many outstanding college-bound athletes produced by the Allen field hockey program.
"Coach [Karen] Nilson teaches you a lot about not only field hockey, but life," Brown said. "She took me to many tournaments and opened up so many doors for me. I got scholarship offers from multiple schools. For me, it came down to Temple or Kent State."
Brown plans to major in sports management at Temple where she will join Liberty graduate Paige Gross and Lehighton product Sarah Keer, who were both Owls freshmen last year.
Other Allen kids honored at the ceremony were baseball players Tajae Botz (Wilkes), Roberto Pimentel (LCCC), Pedro Cipriani (LCCC), Zach Blose (LCCC), girls volleyball player Morgan Reiss (Elizabethtown), boys basketball players HR Smith (Centenary), Isaiah Palmer (Phillips College, Texas), Daiyon Barnett (either LCCC or Northampton CC), and field hockey players Kelsey Rodriquez (IUP) and Myesha Molitorisz (East Stroudsburg).
Matt Kacyon was one of 10 Temple student-athletes named to the 2014 Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Men's Track & Field Team. The team was selected by the 28 Philadelphia-area sports information directors.
Kacyon, a Whitehall grad and a rising senior at Temple, has a 3.64 GPA as a film and media arts major.
He recently represented Temple for a second year in a row at the NCAA East Region Preliminary, after taking third place in the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the IC4A Championships. He took second place in that same event at the American Athletic Conference Championships, where he also placed fourth in the 5,000 meter run.
Kacyon has earned six top-five finishes at conference championships for Temple men's track & field in his career. He holds the school record for the indoor 5,000 meter run.
Off the track, Kacyon is a two-time Temple President's Honor Roll recipient.
Palmerton graduate and University of Pennsylvania sophomore Kelsey Hay finished 18th in the women's javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships last week at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
Hay is set to become just the third outdoor All-American in University of Pennsylvania women's track and field history and the program's first in an outdoor field event.
Hay's first toss landed at 44.82 meters (147 feet), but she bettered that mark with her second effort — 47.28 meters (155 feet, 1 inch) and that remained her best through the final set of throws. The two-time All-Ivy honoree placed 11th in her flight and finished the year as the school record holder, the Heptagonal champion and the Heps meet record holder in the event.

In trading on Friday, shares of the Daily Emerging Markets Bear 3x Shares ETF (EDZ) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $36.32 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In the case of Daily Emerging Markets Bear 3x Shares, the RSI reading has hit 28.2 — by comparison, the RSI reading for the S&P 500 is currently 66.1.
Find out what 9 other oversold stocks you need to know about »
A bullish investor could look at EDZ's 28.2 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side.
Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), EDZ's low point in its 52 week range is $36.32 per share, with $75.58 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $36.40. Daily Emerging Markets Bear 3x Shares shares are currently trading off about 4.7% on the day.

The Washington Redskins have been under fire about their team name for some time now, as many are imploring the organization to make a change.
Team general manager Bruce Allen wrote a letter to Senator Harry Reid defending the team's name recently, claiming that "an overwhelming majority of Native Americans do not find the name offensive."
The Redskins also used rapper Wale and "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek to show support of the team's current name.
Regardless, pressure to make a switch still exists and only continues to grow as each day passes. If Washington does ultimately decide to make a change, here are some suggestions that we came up with for them.

- I am waiting for an email from Christopher. I want to do the Chakra and waiting for a response. He says he can save this and I am putting my faith in him. Does anyone have their ex's say anything to them why they come back? What made them do it? A feeling?

Storm Cestavani fake celeb Astrologer
- Celebrity Astrologer? No celebrity has endorsed him publicly. He talks about reading for Madonna and had a list of other soap stars on his website. He claimed to someone who chooses to remain anonymous that he was in Madonna's movie Truth or Dare. A frame by frame examination of the film doesn't show anyone who looks like any on Cestavani's web photos (which aren't real) and no one in Madonna's film matches the true description of an overweight man with bad skin. He talks about high powered actors getting readings from him, yet no one has written a public testimonial? Clients are confidential, so if he feels he can speak so freely about these stars, where are their testimonials? Would you want someone to read for you if they were shopping around intimate facts about your life especially whether real or false?
- —Guest Dave Solomon
Storm Cestavani lives with Mommy
- His business Astrological Encounters, Inc. is located in Massena, NY also where he resides. http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Astrological.Encounters.Inc.315-764-1434 http://www.manta.com/c/mmzgncy/astrological-encounters He claimed he lived in an $8 million penthouse on Park Ave and 73rd, New York, NY. No address available, no property records. He claims to have been able to see Time Square from his penthouse, but Times Square is on 42nd Street and it would be impossible to see Times Square from 73rd Street and Park Avenue. He claimed to have sold that to his brother's law firm and moved with his boyfriend a prominent gay/lesbian activist to Amityville, NY. He has told people he lives in the actual Amityville Horror house, a home that was seized from a financial banker and purchased the alleged Amityville home in December 2009. He boasted that Madonna's brother decorated the home down to spending over $30,000 on the floors. In fact he LIVES WITH HIS MOMMY.

Storm Cestavani uses aliases
- A report done by a private eye hired by someone who wants to remain on deep background for fear of reprisal questioned his claims regarding his astrological certifications in 1998. Mr. Cestavani claimed to be a graduate of the London School of Astrology and was the holder of the D.F. AstrolS degree. Inquiries to the school in London revealed that no on had ever heard of him there and no one knew his name. He also claimed to have a Diploma as an Analyst in Psychology from the Association of Jungian Analysts. He also claimed to have a Masters Degree in psychology from UCLA. No record of anyone with his aliases have degrees from these institutions. He claimed to be under contract with Weiser Books for a book on Mars. An inquiry to Weiser Books revealed that no such books were ever in the works and that no one at Weiser Books had ever heard of Storm Cestavani. The Private Investigator's report mentioned above showed the many different aliases. Storm is a con artist criminal.
- —Guest Dave Solomon
Astrologer Storm Cestavni is a fake
- The person who calls himself Storm Cestavani is someone who goes by many aliases. He appeared as Richard Mariani working for the psychic line Psychic Friends Network, the psychic line hosted by Linda Georgian and Dionne Warwick in the early 90s. He did in fact work for this company doing infomercials and doing ―radio‖ with a woman who confirmed this. Three people have been known to have met him in person and all but one confirmed the name he went by was Richard Mariani. Richard Mariani was described as a large man, overweight, pock marked skin, dark hair and glasses. He was also known as a chain smoker. This is not the image he portrays. He posts pictures of models or men who look like models and thus misrepresents to the public what he really looks like. That by itself isn't so egregious, but the facts tell another story. He tells people that he's had $75,000 worth of plastic surgery and that his waist size is 31 inches. He is a total fraud with a radio show on Keen.com
- —Guest Dave Solomon
Storm Cestavani
- I want everyone to know that an individual who comes on here who claims to be a good looking man named Storm Cestavani is not the good looking man that the photo depicts on his web page. Enough is enough and I am not going to cover for him anymore. His real name is Richard Oakes. Now he can probably get away with using the name "Storm Cestavani" since he claims to have purchased rights to that name from the real Storm Cestavani but he cannot get away with using a picture on his web page that claims to be of him when it is not of him. He can not get away with using the bio of the real Storm Cestavani and making it appear to be his personal bio. It appears to be unethical to conduct a business in such a deceptive manner. How did Miss Cleo's business get taken down, does anyone remember? Wasn't it similar deceptive practices, such as claiming to be a Jamaican shaman? Didn't the FTC get involved? I don't see a whole lot of difference here. He is a crosssdresser who own Coventry Creations

Atrology Answers
- I did the free reading for fun, just to see what would happen. The "free" report I received seemed legit in a way; I've never seen charts like that and there was a lot of info to mull through. However; as soon as he said "Very important time; I'll give you a discount, but you can't tell anyone" I realized he was scammer. Sure enough I look at tons of reviews for the website and NONE of them are pleasant one's.... my advice to anyone is ALWAYS do your homework when it involves spending your hard earned cash; you work hard for it, while scammers trick and lie for it. The only thing I will say is that 'Karma' is a harsh and cruel mistress at time's (if you're in debt on the wrong side to her) that no one can escape. Astrology Answers should no this with all their "teaching"; lol

- This is the second suggestion here that I'm trolling my own site for some kind of gain? I do the best I can ferreting out which comments are fake and which are not. I'm not familiar with Astrology Answers as a business, and many names are mentioned here. Yours and the previous AA-related comment suggest slander. I see in your comment an accusing finger pointing at me and three pointing back at yourselves.

Fake Astrology Answers reviews
- As a reg user of Astrology Answers, have to agree with what Guest Anna said. You state here that the comments are being 'heavily' trolled and fake comments will be deleted, but Anna has pointed out some fake reviews and you have not deleted them. The one from Lora for example is so obviously fake. So I can't help but wonder what else is phony on this site. Is it you Molly that is the one heavily trolling this site with fake comments? Posting fake reviews to bash another company for your own publishing gain is not only morally unethical, but it is also slander. You also are giving the New York Times and About a bad name. Very enlightening, thanks for that info Anna. You should write that expose anyway. What is worse than being tricked by a scam artist online, is being tricked by someone using a reputable publishing platform to lie to others for clicks and SEO advantages. Dear About and NYT, one reader lost, spreading the word to many others.

- I have spent more than I should have on this scam and will not be spending anymore! With every purchase you make it is only follwed by trying to get you to make another purchase when you haven't even received anything for your original purchase!!!

- I found this lady where I stay at in New Jersey. She said oh she can contact the dead and stuff. But then everything she said was like I see an older male figure with a heart problem. Doesn't everybody have in their family at one point an older male figure with a heart problem. Now I just read about the Long Island Medium Teresa Caputo and how she does fishing and cold readings and all that and then turns out she was doing back round checks on her people who go to see her. And they paying her money: http://guardianlv.com/2014/06/long-island-medium-actually-big-time-fraud/

fake reviews listed on this site
- I am fairly certain that there are a lot of fake reviews on this site, especially when it comes to Astrology Answers reviews. A lot of people here saying they have been using them for years, but they haven't even been in business that long. Also, Lora keeps posting the same review and seems to confuse Astrology Answers with someone else, she keeps commenting about someone named Mirena. Astrology Answers doesn't even have someone there with that name. I have been using Astrology Answers for 6 months now, and they are a reliable and good service. I thought About.com was owned by New York Times? Does that not mean you have to get your facts straight and think twice, maybe 3 times, before publishing any little thing? You could be sued for defamation and slander otherwise, just saying. I am a journalist so I know. Maybe you should stop posting fake reviews to get your ranking up Molly Hall, it's not real journalism. If this comment does not get published I will write an expose myself. Thank

Madame Psychic Anna Lopez
- When I was at her house she said she wuld break open a egg and if yoke came out i wuld have 7 years of good luck with love but if blood came out i wuld have 7 years bad luck. Well guess what she made fake blood come out the egg and I no its fake becoz shes a faker. Well anyways then she wanted five grand to complete the spell work. I said I dont have that kind of money and she said she wuld go with me to the atm or my bank. I told her no and she said that something bad is now going to happen to my family. So i went to the bank and took out the 5 thousand and gave it to her for her supplies to do the spell work and now she dont return my calls. Everytime i call her a young child answers the phone and says she not here. Im waiting for the good luck but so far only more bad luck. I don't know whether to go back and see her or not.

Astrology Answers
- I out of curiosity went to the site and got the "free" reading and than "Adrian" sent me an email about how" urgent it was that I do the "life changing astrology guide" It included 5 digital books FOR FREE he said. For only $67. I wasn't going to spend that so I didn't reply. Next day I got 2 more emails from "Adrian" and he said because I was at a time where many things were changing and it's important to know what to do, he's going to do something he NEVER does and I can't "tell anyone"- he was going to lower the price for me to $42." Dumb a** that I was, should have known better but for that amount I figured ok what the heck, I'll do it. Well, here I am 4 days later and NO astrology guide yet he keeps sending me emails asking me what I think of the "guide". I emailed that business 3 times w/no response to any email. I"m not reporting this to paypal. Bunch of scammers!!!!!

Also she's had three albums out, one of which was the soundtrack to the musical she was in, in 2003 called My Fair Lady. I believe she played the lead, Eliza Doolitle for a few weeks.
There's also been a greatest hits released last year, featuring hits, album tracks and remixes.
Plus, the Activia Ads and being in a few TV episodes of various programmes.
I was watching French and Saunders 1999 Christmas Special on Gold the other day. I saw this:
It is Dawn French doing a parody of MM's Perfect Moment. So hillarious!
One line that is extremely funny is, "All's I know's is, I was Tiffany!" Scroll to 53 seconds.
Love Dawn French. She's ace!
Although she was better as Catherine Spartacus Douglas Jones though!
Looking on the U Tube clips I caught French and Saunders doing a take off of Jodie Marsh and Jordan. It's brill!

NBA's All-Star game is Sunday night in Houston, and at a Saturday afternoon press conference, Commissioner David Stern spoke about the possibility of the Sacramento Kings moving to Seattle.
I think it s fair to say that we have an application in house, as you know, from Seattle to both transfer ownership to what I'll call the Hansen Ballmer group and an application to move the team to Seattle to play in KeyArena while the process goes on just to get permission to build a new building in Seattle, Stern said.
Stern said he has met with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn but has not met with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and has no plans to.
Stern said Johnson plans to deliver a competitive bid to the one from Seattle that will include the construction of a new building with a significant subsidy from the city of Sacramento and other things that would bring the region together to support the team.
Stern said it comes down to what the owners decide.
There s a great and strong application from a terrific city to bring in a third and possibly a fourth team in a brand new building, well financed ownership group, without the ability yet to build because there are several things yet to overcome, but that s really good and so if you re a commissioner you like that, he said.
Johnson told reporters that he believes, based on last year and an arena deal that was put together at that time by the City of Sacramento and the NBA, that he has an approved arena deal that can compete with the City of Seattle down the road.
Stern said he expects to have a report ready for the Board of Governors by April 18.

NOW SERVING: Spicy Pickle delivers on name
Also popular are the pizzettis, 11-inch individual Neapolitan-style thin crust pizzas with seven topping combinations for $7.45, including the Sicilian (sopressata sausage, roasted red peppers, smoked mozzarella, chile flakes and tomato sauce), the Aztec (roasted chicken, red onions, green peppers, mozzarella and chipotle pesto sauce), and the Santorini (green peppers, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, oregano, feta, mozzarella, tomato sauce and extra virgin olive oil).
Six kinds of soup are served daily: loaded baked potato, broccoli cheddar, corn and green chile bisque, chicken noodle, garden vegetable and lobster bisque in small, large or bread-bowl sizes.
Kids can choose from grilled cheese sandwich, sandwich with any meat served on focaccia or 6-inch pizzetti with mozzarella and tomato sauce, with Doritos or Cheetos and a juice box for $3.50. "It's a great value," said Linda.
Six salads in small ($3.75-$4.25) and regular ($6.50 to $7.50) sizes round out the menu. Popular are the El Rancho (romaine lettuce, mesquite turkey, black beans, corn relish and chopped tomatoes, spicy ranch dressing) and the Forest (spinach, portobello mushrooms, toasted hazelnuts, grilled onions and sundried tomatoes, honey-balsamic vinaigrette). Add mesquite chicken or roasted chicken for an additional $2.
Looking to develop a breakfast and dinner business, the couple is also starting to build up the catering part of their business with the numerous offices in the Poway Business Park nearby.
While the Bailows readily admitted that Spicy Pickle doesn't have much name recognition at this point, they hope it will catch on soon. It may already be on its way: One young couple, Mark said, announced the other day that their most recent visit was their 58th of the year.
"It's a classy place with no uppity yuppity," adds Mark, who obviously enjoys chatting with customers. "No foo foo and frills. No snobbery."

The puns have begun. The pre-game Angels notes featured "Catch of the Day" as the headline heralding the call up of outfielder/phenom Mike Trout, arguably baseball's top prospect, to the big leagues for Friday's contest against the Seattle Mariners.
Trout's promotion came after center fielder Peter Bourjos injured his hamstring during Thursday night's game. Bourjos has not been placed on the disabled list. To make room for Trout, the Angels optioned rookie starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Here are the lineups:
RF Ichiro Suzuki
SS Brendan Ryan
2B Dustin Ackley
C Miguel Olivo
1B Justin Smoak
DH Jack Cust
CF Franklin Gutierrez
3B Kyle Seager
LF Greg Halman
RHP Blake Beavan (1-0, 1.29)

Vivint Solar CEO: Republican Congress Will Be Good for Industry
It's a bit more unusual to hear a cleantech CEO who seems to sunny about the arrival of a Republican Congressional majority. But that's the sentiment of Vivint Solar boss Greg Butterfield, who explained his thinking in a phone interview with Fortune.
SEIA Applauds U.S. Commitment to Green Climate Fund
WASHINGTON, DC - Calling it a positive step forward in clean energy and international relations, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today applauded the decision by the United States to pledge $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund.

Driven by small-scale solar, global clean energy investments rise in Q1'14
Global investment in clean energy rose nearly 10% in the first quarter of 2014, to $47.7 billion, due mainly to strong investments in small-scale solar in countries like Japan and the U.S., Bloomberg New Energy Finance said April 16.
Solar grows, with government help
The White House announced new initiatives to support more solar development this week. But the Department of Energy's inspector general cast a cloud, with a report slamming a $68 million loan guarantee gone wrong—shades of the Solyndra failure.
However, solar has actually been growing by leaps and bounds. It provides a little less than 1 percent of U.S. electricity— enough to light more than two million households. Other numbers sound even more impressive.
Georgia solar business booming
The Augusta Chronicle
Georgia's 225-percent increase in jobs related to the solar-energy industry is the highest in the nation as it plays catch-up to other states.
The jump comes largely from a combination of prices and Georgia Power's program to add solar-generating capacity, according to Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association.

Energy Investors Are An Uncertain Kitten
Global investment in renewable energy last year declined for the second year in a row. Even worse: For the first time since renewables became plausible, growth in new capacity slowed.
"Is this the clean-tech crash?" asked Michael Liebreich, chairman of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, to start his keynote at the group's annual summit in New York.
In a word: No.

My first thought when seeing the titles of these books was, "I love books about airplanes!" Well . . . now I love books about flies . . . as in insects. These three books for very young readers will open their eyes to the joys and challenges of being a reviled critter in a butterfly world.
It's 1948, and 11-year-old Tate P. Ellerbee's teacher wants each of her students to choose a pen pal, hoping that "new worlds will unfold in front of you, and you'll see your own world through fresh eyes." Tate decides to write to rising country singer Hank Williams. She pours her heart out to her idol in letter after letter, even though he sends her fan photos but never writes back.
Sally M. Walker likes to connect young readers with history. In her new picture book, Winnie, she does just that, telling the little-known story of the real bear who inspired A.A. Milne's legendary children's book character, Winnie-the-Pooh.
It's trick-or-treat time again, but we've got something better than candy—a roundup of the season's creepiest new books! Readers, beware: Nothing says "boo" like the spooky titles below.
"I'm a risk taker." With that short sentence, readers are introduced to Arcady, a goal-scoring, wisecracking soccer star. However, very few people know just how good Arcady is at soccer. Arcady is a resident of an orphanage in Soviet Russia intended for children of enemies of the Soviet state. Instead of fame and fortune, Arcady plays for stolen rations and survival.
Being a small kid in a big world isn't always easy. It's sometimes hard to get noticed, let alone feel like anything is within your control. But three new picture books are guaranteed to encourage even the smallest children to stand up for themselves—and others.
Whether you're an adult or a child, this new picture book biography gives an informed overview of intriguing nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale. It's not a surprising subject choice for gifted author-illustrator Demi (born Charlotte Dumaresq Hunt, nicknamed by her father because she was half the size of her older sister). Demi is well known for her biographies of historical and spiritual figures, as well as her fairy tales, folk tales and stately art.
Eric Carle asked a handful of children's illustrators a question: What's Your Favorite Animal? The answers are creative jewels by 14 beloved artists, including Mo Willems, Rosemary Wells, Lane Smith and Jon Klassen. Children and adults alike will enjoy the varied responses, each on a two-page spread, including anecdotes, childhood memories and more—all with illustrations, of course.
The date on which Hanukkah falls is based on a lunar calendar, and this year it comes far earlier than usual—which means we don't have much time to choose Hanukkah books for the children in our lives. You can't go wrong with these selections. They either add a new twist to an old story or succeed in emphasizing timeless values with a light touch, and all are very entertaining....
Imagine a past where the tragic Titanic never sank, but instead flew across the Atlantic Ocean. For 13-year-old Hollis Dakota, the wealthy heir to an incredible fleet of airships, this is his reality. When his grandfather, Samuel Dakota, was an infantryman in the Civil War, he discovered an unusual biochemical process for flight, a process that swiftly ended the war when the Union Army...

Parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning and tomato sauce add Italian flavor to homemade meat loaf. Serve with pasta tossed with butter or olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 egg
4 teaspoons McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Italian Seasoning , divided
1 teaspoon McCormick® Onion Powder
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Black Pepper, Ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, egg, 2 teaspoons of the Italian seasoning and remaining seasonings in large bowl.
Shape into a loaf on shallow baking pan. Mix tomato sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Pour over top.
Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until meat loaf is cooked through. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Substitution Tip: Prepare as directed, using 1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Salt in place of the garlic powder and salt.
(Amount per serving)
I would start out with Italian Bread Crumbs & add more Parmesan/Romano to the crumbs. Skip all the recommended spices unless you REALLY like spicy foods; 2 eggs instead of 1; add 1/2 - 3/4 cup milk (makes it more moist).
Was this helpful?
I would make it the first time using 1/3 to 1/2 of the spices, just to test out the flavor. If you need a little more, then add it by increments the next time you make it. You can make it to your liking as far as mild to spicy that way. I'd rather do that, instead of making it full spice and not like it because it was too strong. Just a thought.
Wonderful but it seemed to affect others ability to spell from reading some other reviews.
Excellent --very spicy--gives a new twist to Meatlaof.
I hated it -- the worse meatloaf I've ever eating. The meatloaf was dry and over-season. No one liked it and it was thrown away. On top of that I wasted two pounds of ground beef. I'd love that money back, please.

What The Media Got Wrong In The Newtown Story
By editor
Originally published on Wed December 19, 2012 1:03 pm
In the hours following the Newtown, Conn. shooting, several initial media reports provided false information. For example, the gunman's brother was originally identified as the shooter. NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik explains how and why the media falsely reported key details.

In voting systems, the Schwartz set is the union of all Schwartz set components. A Schwartz set component is any non-empty set S of candidates such that
A set of candidates that meets the first requirement is also known as an undominated set.
The Schwartz set provides one standard of optimal choice for an election outcome. Voting systems that always elect a candidate from the Schwartz set pass the Schwartz criterion. The Schwartz set is named for political scientist Thomas Schwartz.
then we have A pairwise beating B, B pairwise beating C, and A tying with C in their pairwise comparison, making A the only member of the Schwartz set, while the Smith set on the other hand consists of all the candidates.

Picture: Tilda Swinton 2009 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 1 'Up' - Premiere Cannes, France - 13.05.08
Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton has learned she's a direct descendant of 14th century Scottish king ROBERT THE BRUCE.
Genealogists in Edinburgh have discovered the Burn After Reading star is 19 generations removed from the monarch, aka Robert I, who freed Scotland from English rule.
Both the star's parents are linked to the king's grandson Robert II - Sir John Swinton is a descendant of Robert II's illegitimate son, the Duke of Albany, while the actress' mother Lady Swinton is descended from Robert II's mistress, Mariotta Cardney.
The royal relations aren't the only notable links found in the Swinton family tree - the 48 year old is also related to Alan Archibald Campbell Swinton, who took the first X-rays in the U.K., and Major General Sir Ernest Swinton, who helped develop the tank, according to new findings released to the media on Tuesday (22Sep09).

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Barbara J Morris, MS (University of South Florida College of Medicine)
Description: This book for athletic coaches covers basic physiological adaptations and offers suggestions for measurement tools and training guidelines.
Purpose: The purpose is to "present coaches with the information they need to design and carry out effective training programs." With a large number of coaches coming from nonscientific backgrounds, this book could definitely serve as a guide. The book meets its objectives, offering suggestions for designing appropriate tests, developing training programs, and discussing pros and cons of performance and health.
Audience: Although written for coaches, the book could also serve as a refresher for certified athletic trainers and strength and conditioning specialists.
Features: The book covers basic exercise physiology and training principles such as adaptation, periodization, etc. It also covers sport-specific testing principles and how to interpret the results of testing. It discusses how to develop training plans with the testing results to obtain both the athlete's and the coach's desired outcomes. One of the better features of this book is the collection of sample sport-specific plans. They not only include specific sports, but also positions within the sport.
Assessment: For the targeted audience, this book accomplishes its goals quite well. It also could be useful to sports medicine personnel in entry level positions.

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
29 May 2015 1:11:00am
I can think of three reasons right off the top of my head why water vapour provides a negative feedback:
1. The latent heat of evaporation easily outweighs any "global warming potential" of H2O.
2. Water vapour absorbs at far more frequencies of light than CO2. Seeing as about four times as much EMR is coming in on the sunny side of the earth from the sun -- if greenhouse gas is a "blanket that sends energy back the way it came", then it's rejecting far more from the sun (our source of heat) than it is trapping from the earth.
3. Water vapour is the source for clouds. With more clouds there will be far more sun energy reflected back into space, not warming the earth.
Water vapour and clouds act as a negative-feedback thermostat. If it didn't earth would have swung wildly out of control billions of years ago.

The Single Best Way to Sell a Lot of Books
Posted by Author Kristen Lamb in Business on August 9, 2013
There are a lot of ways to try and sell books. One way? Non-stop Twitter book spam, "Buy my book! Buy! Buy! Buy! #writer #books #ineedmoney #indie #selfpub." Just make sure you set it to automate to EVERY writer hashtag and to repeat every fifteen minutes. People LOVE THAT.
We can advertise fifty times an hour and never have to bother actually talking to people on Twitter. Hey, our time is valuable, whereas others? They have plenty of time to be on Twitter, so why not give them a GREAT BOOK?
Then there are of course, form-letters on Facebook. "Dear Valued Person, I noticed you like puppies. My book has puppies, please buy now!"
We can also
rufie invite people to FB fan clubs for our book against their will.
Me: When did I become a member of The Raven's Chest Hair Fan Club? *scratches head* *leaves group*.
Then there's always Goodreads Begging: "Hi, I've never even said hello to you and don't know you from a hole in the ground, but my book is the best thing since Scratch-and-Sniff stickers, yet strangely not selling. I'm sure together we can make my book NUMBER ONE!"
Or not…
In my new book, Rise of the Machines–Human Authors in a Digital World I actually spend a lot of time explaining why advertising and marketing doesn't sell books in the new paradigm (or any other, for that matter) and what changes to make for any advertising or marketing to be more effective. Yet, ads, banners, book trailers aside, people want to read a great book.
This means our best way of selling books is…
You ready for this? *drum roll*
Writing great books.
Price is no longer as big of a determining factor as it used to be. A couple years ago, John Locke started the .99 bandwagon and many authors jumped on. At first readers were excited, until they realized the slush pile had just been dumped onto their Kindles and Nooks.
This is good news and bad news. Bad news? Being cheap isn't the game-changer it used to be. Good news? People are gravitating to higher priced books, because there is a presumption of higher quality. This means good books can make more money. Yay!
***Btw, I said higher priced not stupid priced. Traditional publishing has taken many a hit for this. Strange fact. Consumers won't pay the same price for an e-book as a glossy hardback. Wow, who would have imagined that?
Yet, just because potential readers are gravitating to higher priced books, doesn't mean an automatic purchase. It means our customer's time is *gasp* valuable. Yes, they are browsing the slightly more expensive books…to whittle down which books they will invest time in reading sample pages. We have to earn the sale.
Our sample pages, which are the beginning of the book, are our most priceless selling tool.
I know most of you've heard agents and editors usually give a book one to three pages, before continuing or chunking into the circular file. You might be thinking one to three pages? But, my story really gets going on page 21.
I've run the first-twenty-pages-contest on this blog for about three years. Most of the samples I get? I don't need 20 pages. I need one. I already know all the writer's bad habits and level of education and skill (or lack thereof). It's simply shocking how many of the same problems plague the beginning of most first-time novels.
And it's easy to think this is all very unfair, but think of your own experiences browsing a bookstore. Aside from cover and interesting title and story description, what do we do? We open the book and scan the first couple of pages. If those first pages stink, we don't give the writer twenty of fifty or a hundred pages to sell us.
Unless you wrote Girl With the Dragon Tattoo but he was dead.
So when you are dead, I suppose people give more gratis, because I cannot count the number of times people have said, "Well, yes GWTDT bored the paint off the walls, but after the first hundred pages, it's awesome!"
I…am not that motivated. I gave the book more than it's due (because the writer was dead) and gave it 20. Next! I'm aging here.
So if you are reading this blog and you're dead? You get more leeway. Also, what's it like on the Other Side? Feel free to leave a description in the comments :D.
For the rest of us who remain among the living? One to five pages.
I can tell 99% of what's wrong in a book by page five, and so can agents and editors (and readers, though they might not know what is wrong, only they aren't hooked).
It's sort of like going to a doctor. He/She can tell from the sphygmomanometer (been DYING to use that word) which is a blood-pressure cuff, a look at skin pallor and basic symptoms to tell if a patient has a bum ticker. No need to crack open the patient's chest and stare right at the sickly beating heart.
Most new writers (especially) have what Candy Haven's calls a fish-head. What do we do with fish-heads? We cut them off and throw them away, unless you are my family, who are
scavengers Scandinavians and then they make soup *shivers*. This actually explains the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo mystery.
The writer was dead and Swedish. Apparently Swedish readers looove fish-head-story-soup and somehow convinced others to give it a try. Not saying these are bad books, btw. Clearly, they have a huge fan base and rave reviews. I'm just I am not patient enough to get to the good stuff (and neither are a lot of other people).
Most new novels need to lose the first hundred pages. But that's just something I've gleaned from experience. Yet, who cares about the first hundred if we can't care about the first five? Often, the problems in the next 95 pages can be fixed by knowing what went sideways with the first five. Seriously.
Sample pages are…samples. If we go to Sam's or Costco, how many will stop for a sample of egg rolls, pizza, or Acai juice? How many will stop to sample the Fish Head Surprise?
My point, exactly.
For a fantastic resource about this, I highly recommend Les Edgerton's Hooked. Also, August 21st, I am running a Your First Five Pages webinar. Bronze is $40 and Gold is $55 (I look at your first five pages) and use WANA15 for 15% off. The webinar is recorded in case you can't make the time and a PDF with notes will be sent to you following the class.
What makes you stop reading a book? How long do you give books? Are you patient enough to wait a hundred pages for it to get interesting? What do you find the hardest about writing the beginning of the book? Have you lopped off your own fish heads?
I LOVE hearing from you!

A Final Word from Les Edgerton–Fortune Favors the Prepared
Posted by Author Kristen Lamb in Writing Tips on April 9, 2013
Today, is Les Edgerton's last post in this series. We've been extraordinarily blessed to learn from him, so I hope y'all will give him a digital hug or round of applause. Les will soon be teaching on-line classes for WANA, so I'll let you know when those are available.
Take it away, Les!
All of the points we've covered in this dialogue series are intended for one purpose only—to help writers avoid the red flags that improper dialogue can create for agents and editors… and readers.
And that's what they are—red flags. That doesn't mean that breaking any of these "rules" or conventions will doom your mss from being taken, but it does mean the presence of them can cast a negative light on your work. And, I imagine we all want to avoid that!
Also, there will be a great many examples of novels that break these precepts. There are many reasons for that. Contrary to popular opinion, novels don't make it into print simply because they're quality writing. There are many other factors at work. Factors that the writer may or may not have control over.
For instance, novels are published because the author has made a personal connection with a publisher. When an editor knows someone and likes that person, it's not uncommon for that person's book to be taken over another more worthy one. Happens all the time.
Or, an author may have had one or more successful novels already published and the current one may not be as good as the mss lying on the same desk as an unknown author, but the lesser quality novel will be taken. Again, happens all the time.
Sometimes, even though the novel breaks all kinds of rules, something in a novel like this may simply appeal to an individual editor. Maybe it's the voice. Maybe it's the setting—my first novel was taken by accident because of its setting. The Death of Tarpons had been rejected 86 times before I sent it to the University of North Texas Press.
That's EIGHTY-SIX times!
That was in the days of snail mail submissions, where you had to pay the postage for the mss to the editor and also provide return postage. That was during a time when my family ate a lot of beans and really couldn't afford to buy the tons of stamps I needed. I had made my mind up that once I reached 100 rejections, I would "retire" the manuscript.
What happened was that it landed on the desk of UNT's publisher, Fran Vick. Unbeknownst to me at the time, UNT had never before published fiction. If I'd known that, I never would have sent it. Anyway, Fran's secretary had unwrapped the day's mail and as it by chance happened, mine was the first mss on Fran's desk. Her normal routine when presented with a fiction mss, was for her to not even read it, but just stick a standard rejection notice in it and have her secretary send it back.
Luck was on my side!
As Fran related to me later (I've just revealed a happy ending and taken all the tension out of this, haven't I!), her secretary was bringing her her morning cup of coffee and something happened where she had to remake the pot. That gave Fran an extra five minutes or so before she began her "official" day, so, for want of anything else to do, she picked up the first page of my novel and began idly to read it. If it wasn't for her secretary's failing to deliver her that cup of coffee, none of what happened next would have ever happened.
It's what she read on that first page that induced her to keep reading. The novel was set in Freeport, Texas, the town I grew up in. Like most first novels, it was an autobiographical, "coming-of-age" novel (there's a cliché for ya!). The thing is… Freeport was Fran's hometown!
What editor can resist reading about their own hometown, especially when that town is a tiny burg like Freeport? A New York City editor, glancing at the first page of a mss and seeing it's set in NYC isn't going to be nearly as intrigued as an editor from Freeport, Texas reading a novel set in… Freeport, Texas!
As it turned out, Fran also knew my grandmother who was prominently on the page immediately and was instantly drawn into the story and read it all the way through, got on the phone, and offered to buy it.
So, there's luck involved sometimes. Although, the book was well-written, so it also pays to be ready for luck when it appears. Fortune favors the prepared! The book went on to be well-reviewed and sold very well and earned a Special Mention from the Violet Crown Book Awards.
The point is, there are so many factors out of your control that can lead to or prevent publication. But, there are factors that you can control and among them are adhering to contemporary writing styles and conventions. And that is the impetus behind these precepts. To help you avoid many of the red flags that may prevent your mss from getting a fair and thorough reading.
Okay? Best of luck to all of you and your writing endeavors!
Blue skies,
Les, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. We really appreciate you taking so much time from your packed schedule.
I love hearing from you!
To prove it and show my love, for the month of April, everyone who leaves a comment I will put your name in a hat. If you comment and link back to my blog on your blog, you get your name in the hat twice. If you leave a comment, and link back to my blog, and mention my book We Are Not Alone in your blog…you get your name in the hat THREE times. What do you win? The unvarnished truth from yours truly.
I will pick a winner once a month and it will be a critique of the first 20 pages of your novel, or your query letter, or your synopsis (5 pages or less).
And also, winners have a limited time to claim the prize, because what's happening is there are actually quite a few people who never claim the critique, so I never know if the spam folder ate it or to look for it and then people miss out. I will also give my corporate e-mail to insure we connect and I will only have a week to return the 20 page edit.
At the end of April I will pick a winner for the monthly prize. Good luck!
Les Edgerton is the author of HOOKED, THE RAPIST, THE BITCH and others.
