"Tradigital" marketing combines traditional advertising such as direct mail and TV, newspaper, magazine and radio ads with digital marketing to create stronger results than either could do on its own.
I outlined the concept in an article a couple of weeks ago, and now I'll outline the steps necessary for an effective tradigital campaign.
1. Know your audience
It seems obvious, but targeting an advertising campaign to the wrong demographic (or to "everyone") can be a costly mistake resulting in poor results. With a clearly defined target audience, it is much easier to determine where and how to market your company.
2. Be creative
We use an acronym AIDA – Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. Insuring that this criteria is met will result in a more effective ad that delivers results. A well-crafted ad can often make the difference between a successful or disastrous campaign.
3. Have a 'vanity URL'
In a tradigital campaign, your goal is drive as much traffic as possible to your digital destination. Many small to mid-sized companies continue to struggle with a website that is less than optimal. Many have a long wish list of how their site should be, but do not have the time or resources to get it there.
Here's where a landing page or vanity URL can help.
Simply stated, this is a one-page website that has the sole purpose to welcome your visitors, show off your product or service, and allow visitors to quickly and easily find and act on your current promotion. That may or may not be something you have done, but the key here is to come up with a name that is easy to remember and ties in your company.

Pictures: Ghosts of Spring Baseball: Tinker Field
Tinker Field in Orlando, where Harmon Killebrew used to try to bash baseballs off the face of the nearby Citrus Bowl, has sat idle since the Minnesota Twins left 20 years ago. The ballpark, named for Joe Tinker, the legendary Chicago Cubs shortstop who moved to Orlando in 1920, was first dedicated in 1923 and re-dedicated in 1963.

Tinker Field: 1920s
The Cincinnati Reds play in Orlando in the 1920s at Tinker Field. Joe Tinker had managed the team for a time before his move to the city in 1921, and in 1923 he persuaded them to come to Orlando for spring training.

Riverside, CA
An arrest warrant for former Beverly Hills (90650) Mayor Charlotte Spadaro has been issued in the Inland Empire after she failed to appear for her trial on charges that she kept 242 dogs at a Riverside kennel without licenses or proof of vaccination.
bailiff that she was in a hospital. Spadaro and her dogs were evicted last year from her isolated home in the IE. Judge Michele D. Levine said Friday that the trial already has been postponed several times at Spadaro's request, and since she is acting as her own attorney the court can't proceed without her, thus the need for the arrest warrant. Bail of $10,000 was set and the warrant will take effect if Spadaro doesn't attend a hearing today (Wednesday).

HOLY POT BUST!: Van gets pulled over in Montebello and VIOLA! Out pops $4 Million worth of Weed
May 25, 2010
10 p.m.
Holy ganja bust, Batman! Surprise, surprise, surprise.
So the cops in Montebello pull over this van over on Vail Avenue and Washington Boulevard in a "routine" traffic stop. Son of a gun, 6,000 of pounds of marijuana with an estimated $4 million value is stuff inside the vehicle.
Who knew?!
Montebello officers stopped a what is known as a "large box truck" at 1 p.m. on Monday, and the officer discovered the truck loaded up with marijuana.
George Alfaro Chicas, 42, and Christian Sanchez, 30, both of Los Angeles, were booked in Montebello jail on suspicion of transportation of marijuana for sales.
According to Lt. Rich Meadows, the two men were later released pending further investigation. Wait a minute. They find $4 million bucks worth of pot in a van and the let them go pending a "further investigation?" Are you kidding me?
Amazing what you can get away with these days. Oh, hell, just make pot legal. Who really cares, right?
"Its JUST POT!"

BREAKING NEWS: Local Community in shock after "hate" crime hits beloved Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic Church in Maywood
By Randy Economy
May 25, 2010
This really makes me sad.
Catholic Church School over at 4430 W. 60th Street in Maywood, after someone vandalized a good portion of the beloved church, and causing extensive vandalism damage.
Further investigation revealed that the some of the vandalism was of a heinous nature, and in fact, consistent with a "hate crime."
The vandals broke into the Church's parish kitchen and left extensive damage. A portrait of the Virgen de Guadalupe (Virgin Mary) was punctured with a kitchen knife in the eye, a Christian cross was placed in a sacrilegious manner upon the kitchen stove, vandals painted "666" in ketchup throughout the kitchen, and fecal matter was left on the adjacent auditorium stage.
"We are appalled by this heinous crime and stand in solidarity with our community in support of St. Rose of Lima", said Maywood Mayor Ana Rosa Riso.
St. Rose of Lima is one of the largest Catholic churches in the Southeast region of Los Angeles. It has a predominantly Latino congregation and has more than 10,000 parishioners.
Joining in denouncing the violence are wonderful Maywood community groups PUMAS, Maywood Unidos, United Students of the Southeast, Union de Vecinos and the Maywood Lions Club.
The Maywood-Cudahy Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in solving this investigation. If you have any information, please call the Maywood-Cudahy Police Department Detective Bureau at (323) 562-5005. The handling investigator is Detective Fierro.
We cannot allow this type of crime to be allowed. I hope that we can stand united as a community against this type of violent act.
Even though no one was injured, this crimes hurts our entire community, and cannot be tolerated.
Tonight I am praying for those responsible for this act.
If you were responsible for this act, please, do the right thing, and turn yourself into the authorities.

MIGUEL SANTANA: LA City Official Pleads Guilty to DUI Charge. He got tipsy at "charity" event honoring LA County District Attorney Steve Cooley.
By Randy Economy
May 25, 2010
4:20 p.m.
WEST COVINA – Los Angeles City Administrative Official Miguel Santana pleaded no contest today to misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol.
Santana, 40, was arrested on Friday, March 26 in the Covina area by California Highway Patrol officers. He was freed on $5,000 bond and charged with 2 counts of DUI.
The charity event Santana was attending that evening before his much publicized arrest was a Charity Dinner in Honor of Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley.
Deputy District Attorney Casey Jarvis of the West Covina Area Office said Santana was immediately sentenced to three years probation and was ordered to pay $1,737 in fines and penalty assessments.
West Covina Superior Court Commissioner Harold Mulville additionally ordered Santana to enroll in a six-month drinking-driver program and ordered him to participate in the hospital and morgue program. The latter program exposes DUI offenders to victims of alcohol-related incidents.
Under the terms of a negotiated plea agreement, a second count, driving while having a .08% or higher blood alcohol, was dismissed.

U2 concerts at Anaheim Stadium called off due to Bono's injury. Rest of North American tour also moved to 2011.
Breaking News:

1:45 p.m. PST
Anaheim, CA:
Well, so much for seeing Bono and U2 this summer here in the OC.
I just learned that the upcoming U2 Concert's here at Anaheim Stadium on June 6th and 7th have been cancelled due to the injury that Bono suffered this past week. As a matter of fact the entire North American Tour has been called off.
Speaking at the LMU University Hospital in Munich, Paul McGuinness, U2's Manager confirmed the postponement of 16 shows on the U2360° Tour from Salt Lake City on June 3rd, through to New Jersey's Meadowlands Stadium on July 19th.
Live Nation are now rescheduling those dates.
McGuinness said, 'Our biggest and I believe best tour has been interrupted and we're all devastated. For a performer who lives to be on stage, this is more than a blow. He feels robbed of the chance to do what he does best and feels like he has badly let down the band and their audience. Which is of course nonsense. His concerns about more than a million ticket buyers whose plans have been turned upside down, we all share, but the most important thing right now is that Bono make a full recovery. We're working as fast as we can with Live Nation to reschedule these dates.'
Get well, Bono.
I have hundreds of dollars invested into your recovery.

Jamaica State of Emergency: Official notice to the People from a government under seize today. All schools in Kingston closed
By Randy Economy
May 24, 2010
11:45 p.m.
I wanted to post this "official" information from the Official Jamaica State website. It is always important to see how "the world around us" reacts in a "state emergency."
Earlier today the Security Forces launched an operation in Tivoli Gardens and surrounding areas of Western Kingston.
This Joint Military/Police operation is aimed at executing a warrant issued by the Courts of Jamaica for the arrest of Michael Christopher Coke otherwise called "Dudus" as well as to restore the area to stability after three consecutive days of barricading by criminal elements and wanton attacks on the police force.
During the operation seven members of the Security Forces were injured. Six of the seven were shot, one succumbed to his injuries. The other was injured in an accident. The operation is still ongoing and the Security Forces are resolute in bringing the area to stability so that law-abiding citizens of Western Kingston and its environs can get on with their lives in peace.
The Security Forces are reminding residents of Kingston and St. Andrew that there is a limited State of Emergency in effect and residents are asked to remain indoors.
The Ministry of Education is advising the public that all schools in the parish of Kingston - all basic, infant, primary and high schools - will be closed tomorrow until further notice. They include:
Denham Town Primary

These schools will only be opened to accommodate students that will sit examinations. All other schools are to be opened for normal operations.

Breaking News: Jamaica is under seige. My trip of a "lifetime" is a dream that will have to wait for a while. Pray for Peace in Kingston!
By Randy Economy
May 24, 2010
9:30 p.m.
Praying for Jamaica...
Tonight I want to share my thoughts about the unrest and violence that is turning Kingston, Jamaica into a literal war zone, and how this is "hitting" close to home with me and many of my close friends.
the Very Reverend Monsignor Gregory Ramkissoon and the Mustard Seed Communities Family.
"Father Gregory," as he is known by many around the world, is the Founder of the Mustard Seed Communities, a Catholic charity that is dedicated to helping save the lives of babies and young people who are suffering from HIV/AIDS and who are abandoned due to their health condition.
Thousands of people from all over the world have dedicated themselves to help Father Gregory and the Mustard Seed Communities save lives of those who have been "discounted" in society.
Catholic Church is the leader of the MSC here in the Western United States.
When I met Father Gregory, and Father Tony, my life totally changed.
Not in a small way, but in every way!
I remember telling Father Gregory aorund two years ago in my living room here in Cerritos (after one of the best dinners ever) that "someone" should tell his "life story" to the world.
That "someone" I had in the back of my mind was me, and this project would be the biggest honor of my lifetime.
Fast forward to today. My departure date to Kingston was set for June 23rd.
Then the violence broke out, and tonight all of Kingston is the center of a violent drug war. The images are hard to watch. Army tanks, helicopters, raging fires, gun fights, and a state of emergency has been declared.
So, this unrest and violence is hitting "home" tonight. My trip has been put "on hold" until things "calm" down and when and only when it will be safe to travel to Jamaica.
Remember, these words from
Fr. Gregory tonight:
"Negative emotions always appear to accompany hardship in the form of frustration, despair, fear, and doubt. Individuals ruled by these emotions often make poor choices. This is why I am recommending that you decide RIGHT NOW to respond to troubled times with praise and THANKSGIVING!!!
My friend, even in the darkest hours, worshipping God fills the heart with joy and the mind with peace. A believer who is filled in this way can wisely keep a commitment to obey the Lord no matter what.
Today let us quiet the storm so that we may see what God is doing in our situation and take the time to look at the areas in our lives where He requires our obedience. He has never disappointed anyone and will never…THANK YOU LORD!
Well said, Father, well said! Peace for Kingston tonight.
Well said, Father, well said! Peace for Kingston tonight.

BREAKING NEWS: Violence in Kingston, Jamaica puts my upcoming travel plans in limbo
Kingston, Jamaica
May 23, 2010
My upcoming trip to Jamaica on June 23rd has been put in limbo tonight due to the breakout of violence and rioting that has turned most of Kingston into a virtual war zone. I purchased my plane tickets last Friday and it looks like I may not be going becuase of this development.
The US Department of State is alerting all U.S. citizens who are planning to travel to Jamaica (that would be ME), or who are currently in the island county that a "state of emergency" is now in effect for at least the next 30 days. Gang members blocked off a miles-long area of Jamaica's capital city -- mostly in West Kingston -- using vehicles, sandbags, barbed wire and anything else they could find.
According to reports on CNN, the standoff revolves around attempts by the United States to extradite suspected drug kingpin Christopher "Dudus" Coke. Last year he was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine and with conspiracy to illegally traffic in firearms in U.S. federal court.
On Friday, Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding said citizens should "allow the courts to deal with the extradition matter," the state-run Jamaica Information service reported. The FBI and US State Department and several other international agencies are in Kingston tonight dealing with this crisis that is just beginning to unfold.
Put on Hold....?
I have been planning this trip to Jamaica for the past 8 months.
I have been preparing a project that will document the amazing works of Catholic Monsignor Gregory Ramkissoon, the Founder of the Mustard Seed Communities who is in Jamacia.
The Mustard Seed Communities was founded over 30 years ago, and now cares for over 600 children in 14 communities, throughout Jamaica, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Zimbabwe.
They have thousands of dedicated volunteers from all over the globe, and their mission is to meet the growing needs of the most vulnerable members of our society by improving the economic, social and spiritual conditions of the communities we serve.
I want to share their story of how they make a difference in the lives of children who are abandoned, or have disabilities, and children that suffer from HIV/AIDS, and teens that are pregnant and alone, and others who are struggling with drug and alcohol problems in this part of our world.
I met Father Gregory over three years ago when I became a Catholic. He has been one of the biggest inspirations in my entire life.
Tonight I am praying for Jamaica!

BREAKING NEWS: Walter Morales, 18, of Norwalk arrested after he "allegedly" shot at Sheriff's Deputies at Mapledale and Cabrillo
Breaking News:
By Randy Economy
May 22, 2010
11:38 p.m.
Norwalk Sheriffs have arrested an 18 year old man early Saturday morning after he allegedly shot at deputies over on Mapledale Street and Cabrillo Avenue.
Walter Morales, 18, of Norwalk is in custody tonight facing attempted murder of a peace officer, and is being held without bail. Law enforcement officials believe that that incident is "gang related." No officer was injured.
Here are the details:
At about 2:40 a.m. Saturday morning, over at Mapledale Street and Cabrillo Avenue here in Norwalk, two deputies pulled over a car for a traffic stop. Then, it is being reported that Morales got out of the car and fired a handgun at deputies. Dumb move, Wally.
The vehicle then fled the scene, leaving the shooting suspect behind.
Morales fled into a residential neighborhood where he was found a short time later with the help of a police dog, where man's best pal took a bite out of the young Mr. Morales, who was taken to a local hospital and was then booked for his crime.
They also found a gun near where they found Morales hiding. If you have details about this crime, call the Norwalk Sheriff's Department at 562 863-8711.

BREAKING NEWS: Rep. Elect CHARLES DJOU So who is this new American Political Superstar from Hawaii? Tonight everyone is getting to know his name!
|Rep.-Elect Charles Djou.
Doesn't he look like Newscaster Ted Chen from NBC-4 LA?
By Randy Economy
May 22, 2010
Alohahaha on the Insiders, HI
So who is this new American Political heart throb Charles Djou?
Well, the Congressman-Elect from Hawaii's 1st Congressional District is a local city councilman who represents the area from Waikiki to Hawaii Kai on the Honolulu City Council.
Yep. Local elected guy from the beach. Flip flops to work. Laid back. Cool cat. Kinda looks like a Boy Scout. Wait a minute. Yep, I think HE WAS a Boy Scout.
Before entering the City Council, Djou served in the Hawaii State House where he was the Minority Floor Leader. Okay, so he has been around the political sugar cane field before, so to speak.
He has spent most of his life in Hawaii, and graduated from Punahou School and earned both a B.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, graduating magna cum laude with distinction.
Charles earned his law degree from the University of Southern California law school. Okay. He's a Man of Troy. I won't hold that against him tonight.
Outside of the City Council, the new Congressman-Elect serves as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. Charles also practices as an attorney specializing in business law and teaches at the University of Hawaii's William S. Richardson School of Law. Yep. He is the real deal. A real smart guy who is no political "fluke."
Charles is an active member of the community and his resume also includes the Board of Directors of the American Lung Association and is a former member of the Neighborhood Board, member of the Young Business Roundtable, the Rotary Club, and the Hawaii Telecommunications Association.
He is also the Vice Chair of the Hawaii GOP. Yep. A real fish outta water in the Pacific.
He is married to Stacey Kawasaki Djou and together they have three children.
Charles' surname "Djou" is a misspelled French translation of his Chinese surname "Zhou."
Yep, but tonight, everyone knows his name, Congressman-Elect Djou!

BREAKING NEWS: POLITICAL TIDAL WAVE HITS DEMOCRATS IN HAWAII TONIGHT! REPUBLICAN CHARLES DJOU wins SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION IN OBAMA'S HOME DISTRICT!. NO ONE IS "SAFE" THIS ELECTION YEAR...and I MEAN NO ONE!
By Randy Economy
May 22, 2010
10:00 p.m. PST
HONOLULU -- Every Congressman and Congress gal in Washington is in danger this election season.
Anti-Establishment/Anti-Political Insider Fever is sweeping everywhere.
Tonight after weeks of campaigning, Republican Charles Djou won the special election for Hawaii's 1st Congressional District in the most "DEMOCRATIC of SAFE DEMOCRATIC" Congressional Districts in this side of the Mississippi.
Djou will replace uber-Democrat Neil Abercrombie in Congress. Abercrombie stepped down to focus on his run for governor. Neil Abercrombie has had a serious Republican challenger in this district in GENERATIONS, and I do mean forever.
Dumb move Neil, Dems.
This "super safe" Democratic seat is now in the hands of the GOP, and good luck trying to get it back into the "Blue" Column this November.
Recent polls showed that Djou led Democrats former U.S. Rep. Ed Case and Senate President Colleen Hanabusa. Hanabusa finished second, despite a recent poll that put her behind Case. See, you can't trust pollsters or polls in politics. Do like I do when a pollster calls you....lie....don't them who you are really voting for...it works every time.
Voting Results:
(R) Charles Djou 67,274 votes 39.5 percent
(D) Colleen Hanabusa 52,445 votes 30.8 percent
(D) Ed Case 47,012 votes 27.6 percent
(D) Rafael Del Castillo 654 votes 0.4 percent
(N) Kalaeloa Strode 489 votes 0.3 percent
(N) Jim Brewer 269 votes 0.2 percent
(D) Philmund Lee 254 votes 0.1 percent
(R) Charles (Googie) Collins 192 votes 0.1 percent
(R) Kaui Jochanan Amsterdam 169 votes 0.1 percent
(D) Vinny Browne 149 votes 0.1 percent
(N) Steve Tataii 123 votes 0.1 percent
(R) Douglas Crum 107 votes 0.1 percent
(R) John (Raghu) Giuffre 82 votes 0.0 percent
(N) Karl F. Moseley 79 votes 0.0 percent
Some members of the Democratic Party at the national level expressed frustration because Case and Hanabusa split the vote of the party in the winner-take-all special election. Combined, Case and Hanabusa had 58 percent of the vote compared to Djou's 39.5 percent.
This Congressional District is the HOME CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT of DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. Can you imagine. An little known local city councilman from Honolulu took on the White House and the entire Democratic Party tonight and walked away with this special election. Djou will be the first Republican to represent the 50th state in Congress since Rep. Pat Saiki 20 years ago. Amazing.
Remember, 2010 is about getting rid of the political establishment in Washington. It's not about Good Republicans or Bad Democrats. It's about stopping our DO NOTHING, out of TOUCH CONGRESS from spending our national into the fiscal abyss.
So, the wave continues.
Tonight in Hawaii it was a political tidal wave.
Yep. Roll Tide Roll!
Djou will have to run for re-election in the fall. He would face a tougher challenge because Djou would go head-to-head against Hanabusa or Case in the November general election.
Don't worry, Congressman-Elect. You are going to get tons of help from folks all over America...!

Somewhere Out There, Gulf of Mexico
I wanted to thank my friend and blog follower Steve Kolander for sending me his brand new, total fresh off the editing bay, social musical commentary about the 2010 British Petroleum oil spill.
The spill is destroying the ecosystem, the fishing industry, the wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico and is now going up the Mississippi River Delta to do unspeakable damage.

QUEEN OF THE POLITICAL RING: Mighty Linda McMahon WINS GOP SENATE NOD at Connecticut State Party Confab. NO INCUMBENT IS SAFE IN 2010!
May 21, 2010
11:30 p.m.
Hartford. –
Talk about a "political body slam!" No incumbent or "political insider" is safe in 2010. Period!
Former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon captured the GOP Party endorsement Friday night in the first round of balloting at the State Republican Party Convention tonight.
Mc Mahon, defeated early front runner and longtime Connecticut GOP insider pol ex. Rep. Rob Simmons.
Simmons, who is politically beaten up tonight by Mc Mahon, is not taking his defeat sitting down on the mat, so to speak.
He announced that he will stay in the Aug. 10 primary despite telling the press throughout the race, and as recently as Wednesday, that he would drop out of the race if he didn't receive the party's nod at the convention.
Trust me, you don't wanna mess with Linda Mc Mahon.
I first met Linda back in the early 1990's when I worked as the Director of Sales at Viewer's Choice Pay Per View, and she and her ex-hubby Vince Mc Mahon oversaw the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) which then became the World Wrestling Entertainment. I use to work with the Mc Mahon's and on events like "WrestleMania" and "Smack down" and other mega arena events that would bring in $50,000,000 per pay per view event.
McMahon's win and Simmons' announcement set Republicans up for a contentious primary this summer, just days after a damaging New York Times report about the presumed Democratic nominee Richard Blumenthal misrepresenting his record of military service appeared to aid Republican hopes of claiming the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Chris Dodd (D).
McMahon received 737 votes, Simmons received 632 votes and businessman Peter Schiff had 44 votes after the first round of ballots. According to state party convention rules, a candidate must receive over 50 percent to receive the party's endorsement and McMahon had almost 52 percent of the vote.
So, get ready to rumble.
Ah, sorry.
This campaign in Connecticut is going to get really nasty and fun to watch from the comfort of your living room!

FUTURE HONORABLE: Six residents seek vacant Artesia City Council seat held by late Councilman Larry Nelson
May 21, 2010
10:30 p.m.
Artesia, CA:
(Where Everyday is a Good Day....!)
Six residents have applied to fill the current vacancy on the Artesia City Council.
The Artesia City Council decided a couple of weeks ago to appoint a person to fill the unexpired term of former Council member Larry R. Nelson. Nelson who passed away on May 1.
The appointed person will finish the rest of Nelson's term, which ends November 8, 2011. Those would will be considered are:
- William "Bill" Zylstra
- Michelle Diaz, Planning Commissioner
- Zeke Marquez
- Manu Patel, Businessman
- Joyce Yeutter, City Commissioner
- Endu Padel
The City Council is requesting that applicants sign a pledge to abide by a code of ethics and may also seek a pledge not to run for election to the City Council after the expiration of their appointed term.
Of course, these type of "don't run pledges" are not binding and or legal in a court of law.
Anyone who is appointed to this city council seat is entitled to run for the position in November of 2011, period.
I hope the best person gets the job, Artesia needs and deserves a full time leader, not a token "place holder."
Who do you think should be appointed to the Artesia City Council? Hit my comment section or vote in my poll here on the blog!

Rumor Mill
Sources close to State Senator Russ Potts have indicated that he is seriously considering stepping down after the budget is resolved. We can only hope that he does so. Russ should ride off into the sunset while the gettin is good.

Is the same old Potts rumor or is it a new one?
I think it is new, Singleton?
New I believe, as in the last two weeks. when was the old one?
I can't stand that guy. I still can't believe that the Senate Republican Caucus was so wimpy they let him keep his committee chairmanship.
The old one was Potts will get an appointment with kaine after the budget is passed.
The budget has drug on for so long we have no idea if thats gonna happen or not.
"Ride off into the sunset"?
A more accurate image would have been "circling the bowl."
Ha, wonderful mental image.
There is no doubt that Russ would literally jump at the chance to work in the Kaine administration. His financial troubles in the past have been well documented. The big question is what would Tim Kaine gain by hiring him? He is not well liked by either party and has not worked under ANYONE in the recent past as he has owned his own small business. I don't see Russ as one to take orders very well from anyone other than himself.

An Israeli property company has struck a multi-million dollar deal in Ireland that could herald further Israeli involvement in the country.
Ravad is doubling its first major investment in Ireland in a deal worth $18.3 million. The Israeli firm, which is controlled by investor and dealmaker Igal Ahouvi, is paying about $9 million to acquire control of a retail property occupied by the British supermarket chain Tesco.
The deal increases Ravad's stake in the property from 50 percent to 100 percent. Ravad bought the initial share last October for a reported $9.2 million, with the other half going to an unnamed buyer. Tesco, which sold the site, has agreed to lease back the property at about $1.4 million per year.
The investment puts Ravad at the center of the redevelopment of Roscrea, a provincial town about 75 miles southwest of Dublin that houses a manufacturing outlet for Taro, one of Israel's leading drug makers.
A report in the Irish Times suggested that Ravad's entry into the Irish market could encourage the Irish government to sell some of the $56 billion in property assets it has taken over from bankrupt Irish banks, creating opportunities for similar deals in the near future.
Ahouvi has close ties to the major Irish property development firm Quinlan Private, whose loans are controlled by the Irish government. Ahouvi and Quinlan bought 47 Marriott Hotels in a $1.75 billion joint venture in 2007.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Jrue Holiday had 14 points and 12 assists, and the Philadelphia 76ers held New Orleans to its lowest point total ever in a 77-62 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday night. Evan Turner also scored 14, and Thaddeus Young and Lavoy Allen each added 12 points for the Sixers, who dominated the second half defensively. The Hornets committed 14 of their 24 turnovers after halftime and scored only 25 points during the final two quarters. Young also grabbed 10 rebounds. Al-Farouq Aminu was the only Hornets player to score in double figures with 10 points to go with 16 rebounds. The Hornets, who lost for the first time in three games, played without first-round draft choices Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers. Davis was not cleared to return from a recent concussion and Rivers had a sprained finger.

Rick Perry on Texas' Blocked Voter I.D. Law: 'It's Unfortunate We Have to Spend All This Money Defending America's Rights Against Obama Administration'
A major push-back is building up in Texas after the Justice Department (DOJ) blocked a new voter I.D. law. The law would require voters to show photo identification before entering the polls to cast their vote. The feds say it's unfair to minorities, but supporters are saying that it would cut down on fraud.
Gov. Rick Perry, who supports the law, told Bill Hemmer, that there were multiple cases of voter fraud in various parts of Texas and stressed that America needs good, open, honest elections whether it be Republican or Democrat.
"In today's world having a photo I.D., whether it's to get on an airplane or whether it's to cash a check or it's to check a library book out, it's pretty standard fair."
He went on to say that Texas will be taking this issue to the Supreme Court and said it's unfortunate that they have to spend a lot of money and time defending America's right to make sovereign decisions against the Obama administration.
In addition, Perry addressed the issue of Texas' decision to block Planned Parenthood that resulted in the loss of federal funds of Medicaid's Women Health Program. He said, "We're not going to let the program die, we'll find the money somewhere. It's just sad that you have an administration that is more interested in paying off and rewarding their political supporters," he said.
"We're going to make sure those 100,000 or so plus women have those services, but again, it's an exposure of this administration's clear politics that they're playing."

Tax varies by state and location. I know here, you need to pay sales tax on re-upping your prepaid accounts, which is still less than what you need to pay for a post paid plan, but there is no way to tell what the cost will be for a customer. Best to stay at advertised prices.
Taxes suck, I agree.

A large cluster of galaxies close to our Milky Way and exerting a strong pull on it has been completely overlooked, say astronomers from Britain, Japan, and the Netherlands. The cluster, in the constellation of Puppis, lurks behind thick dust clouds, which is why it has eluded astronomers until now.
Dust in the disc of our Galaxy blocks the visible light from nearly 20 per cent of the galaxies in the Universe. However, in the past few years, observations of infrared light and radio waves, which penetrate dust, have revealed several galaxies in Puppis, which lies in the Galactic plane.
Now Ofer Lahav and Caleb Scharf of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, Toru Yamada of Kyoto University in Japan, and Renee Kraan-Korteweg of the Kapteyn Laboratory in the Netherlands have analysed the Puppis cluster in detail. The cluster has a red shift of about 1500 kilometres per second, which ...

KingKorg Synthesizer Review – A Digital Synthesizer For Vintage Synth Fans
At the 2013 NAMM Show, Korg introduced the KingKorg – a new synth that offers full-sized keys, a three-oscillator-per-voice synth architecture, a wide range of filter options and a straightforward, knobby interface.
At the same NAMM Show, Korg also introduced the new MS-20 Mini, which not only stole the show, but stole a lot of attention away from the KingKorg. The MS-20 was not just a new analog synth, but a modern take on a classic.
While the Mini was one of the 2013 NAMM Show highlights, the KingKorg is a completely new synth design – and it's a synth that has a lot to offer. It's a virtual analog synth that Korg describes as the "full-fledged analog modeling synthesizer you've been waiting for."
Can Korg pull off a analog modeling synth that's good enough to please vintage synth freaks?

Dangerous Relations: The Soviet Union in World Politics, by Adam B. Ulam
The Era of Détente
Dangerous Relations: The Soviet Union in World Politics, 1970-1982.
by Adam B. Ulam.
Oxford. 325 pp. $25.00.
Adam B. Ulam is one of the few living scholars of Soviet affairs who may fairly be credited with a masterful command of world politics. By wedding the local, the daily, and the tactical to the international, the historic, and the strategic, he has steadily extended the realm of the understandable in world affairs. And to the pleasure of his readers, Ulam has proved a master not only of substance but also of style: his writing is always graceful, and very often amusing.
In Soviet studies, Ulam has served as a pioneer. This is a field where distressingly little written material stands up over time, yet many of Ulam's books promise to be enduring points of reference. His first, Titoism and the Cominform, was a prophetic examination of the forces fracturing the heretofore monolithic Communist bloc. The Unfinished Revolution, first published more than twenty years ago, laid out many of the internal contradictions that we have come to recognize in Soviet foreign and domestic policy in its period of "mature socialism." The Rivals gave a brilliant account of Soviet-American conflict from the end of World War II through the middle of the war in Vietnam. Expansion and Coexistence was the definitive analysis of the first half-century of Soviet foreign policy—and as such, remains an indispensable guidepost for all students of international affairs.
Ulam's latest book, Dangerous Relations, picks up where Expansion and Coexistence left off, bringing us from America's debacle in Vietnam through the first year of the Soviet adventure in Afghanistan. An incisive reading of this period, which is rather loosely referred to by many contemporary writers as the "era of détente," would seem especially helpful today, and no one is better qualified than Ulam to deliver such an account. Unfortunately, despite its many merits, Dangerous Relations is something of a disappointment.
For the disinterested observer of foreign affairs, the "era of détente" was a time of both tragedy and farce. During this period both the United States and the Soviet Union made astonishing mistakes on the world stage, the repercussions of which were to cost each more dearly than the plans devised by its adversary. Dangerous Relations gives us the outlines of this bizarre tale.
For the United States, a humiliating retreat from Vietnam was followed first by a bout of geopolitical catatonia, and then by four years of exculpatory and self-tormenting foreign policy under President Carter. The denouement of Carterpolitik, the Iran crisis, was, if not entirely a problem of the President's own making, then at least a situation that was handled about as badly as was possible at every single turn. Yet for all its importance, the Iran crisis was only the icing on a cake of American initiatives whose practical consequences were to reduce American influence in many regions of the Third World, to estrange nervous allies in Western Europe, and thereby in effect to increase the likelihood of armed conflict in an increasingly insecure world.
The USSR, for its part, managed against all odds in this same period to lose its Egyptian foothold in the Middle East, and found itself reduced to a fruitless marriage of convenience with the terrorists and irredentists among Israel's enemies. Its ill-concealed obsession with China made it all the easier for statesmen in Peking to extract benefits and concessions from their American "friends" (or as the Chinese themselves put it, "to fight the near barbarian with the far barbarian"). And in invading Afghanistan, the men in Moscow not only shocked the American public out of its inattention to Soviet expansion but also helped set the ground-work for the election of Ronald Reagan, the American President with the most uncompromising attitude toward the USSR since Harry Truman.
Despite the wealth of blunders on both sides, however, Soviet and American setbacks were neither symmetrical nor equivalent. As Ulam explains it, the 1970's saw the emergence of a Soviet apparatus with global abilities that more nearly matched its global point of view; Soviet leaders talked and acted as if their state had achieved the full status of a superpower, and as if the "correlation of forces" were shifting in their favor. There was reason for confidence. The governments of Western Europe, whose combined strength could certainly be made to match the Warsaw Pact's on any avenue, were beset by an enfeebling attitude to Soviet overtures, beguiled by a vision called the "relaxation of tensions." The Third World was the scene for a number of unresolvable and debilitating dramas of Western disintegration. The United States, once the preeminent military power in the world, had volunteered nuclear "parity" in its arms-control agreements, and was not assured of holding on even to this in protracted negotiations with sophisticated, and less harried, Soviet envoys. At the same time, domestic pressures were reducing America's conventional military forces; the shift from a "two-and-a-half war" to a "one-and-a-half-war" army was interpreted as a sign not only of diminished capacity but also of diminished resolve.
Ulam implies, however, that the USSR's policies of détente have been in some measure a self-liquidating proposition. From the Soviet perspective, the point of détente was not simply to take the charge out of the atmosphere between East and West; it was to reduce the risks attendant on international expansion. But reduced risks seemed to embolden the Soviet leadership to the point of recklessness—and reckless behavior is inimical to even the most forbearing Western conceptions of "peaceful competition."
In his concluding counsel, Ulam warns that the next generation of Soviet leaders, instead of being "liberalized" by the experiences of the 1960's and 1970's, may instead favor more expansionist policies, since their own expectations have been shaped during a period of growing Soviet power and prestige. He also suggests that Soviet decisions in the coming years may be affected less by Western policies per se than by the Kremlin's assessment of the condition of the West. "For, as we have seen during the past twelve years, it has been Moscow's reading of the strengths and weaknesses, and especially the degree of cohesion, of the entire community of democratic nations that has been mainly instrumental in shaping the USSR's foreign policy." He cautions that "arms limitations and summitry cannot basically change the present and increasingly menacing picture of world politics." What is needed in the West, he states, is a "recouping [of] strength and vitality, as measured by much more than military criteria."
Not all of Dangerous Relations matches its magisterial finale. For one thing, the text is marred by a number of factual errors quite out of keeping with Ulam's breadth of reading and characteristic command of detail. Thus, Cambodia's capital did not fall to the Communists after Saigon, but rather two weeks beforehand: the Khmer Rouge's frenzied drive to reach Phnom Penh before General Giap's forces completed their conquest of South Vietnam, and the Angka's seeming disregard for the enormous losses their troops were suffering in the process, were a portent of things to come. The invasion of Zaire's Shaba province, executed by armies operating out of Angola, took place in 1978, not 1977: it came as a sort of counterpoint to President Carter's decision to "postpone" deployment of neutron bombs in Europe rather than as a follow-up to the USSR's rejection of American SALT proposals in the previous year. Mistakes like these are by no means fatal, but they suggest that global perspective and current events are being decoupled.
By the same token, Dangerous Relations makes insufficient effort to trace the domestic considerations constraining the USSR's use of power and influence abroad. In the past, Ulam has been impatient—and rightly so—with Sovietologists caught up in the "closet dove/ closet hawk" guessing game. But there are forces which restrict Soviet expansion from within and that are more solid than those phantoms of the Politburo.
In an age of nominal peace, a superpower's actions must be informed by its assessment of its own economic strengths and weaknesses. In the case of the Soviet Union, expansion is partly limited by the internal weaknesses of its economic system. These weaknesses, in turn, account for much of the importance of economic contacts with the West. Other things being equal, Soviet leaders would presumably like to underwrite their empire—including the failed economies of their satellites—with capital, technology, and credit from "hostile" regimes. Yet in making use of capitalist economies, and thereby seemingly sparing their own economy additional burdens, the men in Moscow also limit their own freedom to maneuver, and in unexpected ways. The USSR's contrivance to have Poland borrow massively from the West, for example, introduced a new set of concerns into Soviet calculations about invasion and the imposition of "martial law," and may have had something to do with the lengthy delay and the intricate formalities observed before Solidarity was crushed.
The Soviet economy is no longer a hermetically sealed operation. From a material—though not a political—standpoint, it may now be as dependent on imports and exports as some Western economies. Understanding this may or may not give Western governments a lever with which to affect specific Soviet policies, but it would seem to suggest ways in which to affect Soviet power.
If Dangerous Relations is vague about Soviet economics, it seems excessively specific about the USSR's military forces. Ulam states that the USSR has been increasing its military outlays over the past decade by 4-5 percent a year. This may indeed be so, but it seems adventurous to take it as fact. As Ulam himself writes, American estimates of Soviet strength have suffered from failures of intelligence in the past. From the Berlin blockade to the Cuban missile crisis, American officials seemed consistently to overestimate Soviet military might. On the other hand, in the mid-1970's, according to the famous "Team B" report, CIA planners were under-estimating the USSR's military expenditure by as much as half. Ulam's 4-5 percent figure apparently comes from a "revised" CIA estimate of the Soviet military build-up. It is a plausible but not conclusive figure. (One researcher who has reworked the statistics argues that the growth in Soviet procurements has been more like 9 percent a year; a new CIA assessment proposes that since the mid-1970's, the build-up has only been about 2 percent a year.) Undue precision about the Soviet military effort does not help us assess the actions of a superpower that prefers to do its bargaining under the threat of force.
Without knowledge about the Soviet economy or the Red Army, we must principally rely, in any evaluation of Soviet overseas initiatives, on our understanding of the nature of the USSR as a power-seeking entity. Under these handicaps, Adam Ulam can be expected to perform better than his peers. Yet in Dangerous Relations his analytical abilities are needlessly confined. Admirers of his writings may hope that in future books he will have more to say about the recent course of the USSR.

Mml's Bandits Guide For Pure (prayer Pot Method)
Posted 01 July 2010 - 10:03 PM
This guide is made specifically to learn how to "level" your Strength quickly.
Information of bandits
Bandits are NPC's that attack you if you have any zamorak or saradomin items on. In this guide we will be using a saradomin sword/Dragon scimitar
Stats needed
Attack: 60+ with dragon scimitar
Strength: 75+
Prayer: 43+ 52+ highly recommended
The inventory is very expensive, considering you need prayer potions. I would recommend buying atleast 1k+ prayer potions if you wish to level much. Here is A decent inventory
You can change prayer potions for super restores and the super sets for zamorak brews/combat potions, or plain attack pots
any tele tab, antipoison if you wish
Strength pots are not necessary but they are optional. Attack pots are much more important (Especially if you are lower attack) But if you are 70+ attack you will not need to much, you can just bring zamorak brews if you want to be cheap. But if you do bring zamorak brews remember to bring summer pies or pineapple pizzas (4-8 of them). Zamorak brews are decent, because they raise prayer also. but they really hit alot if you are higher hp! be careful using them.
worn inventory
You can change the combat bracelet for rfd gloves. the guthix cape for nomads cape if you are a main, or a trimmed skill cape
you can also bring initiate helmet, it is much cheaper then the mitre
you can substitute the holy necklace for a stole, but i do not recommend it
ring of life for duelling if you want to get there fast. (not recommended)
monks robes to weigh less and have good prayer bonus. can be subbed for shade robes (i highly doubt you have em)
Saradomin sword or dragon scimitar w/zamorak book.
At the bandits
okay there are many methods to get to the bandits, there is no need for me to post a guide because it isn't needed.
okay, so you arrive at bandits. you will want to turn on melee pray and walk into the bar.
walk behind the counter and pot up like so:
then walk out and turn on burst of strength/clarity of thought, lvl 4 and 8 prayer
Stand in the middle where all the bandits can walk to you, and they will start to attack you, turn auto retaliate on and your done! enjoy the xp
Important Tip
Drink some prayer potions when you are 20 prayer left (44 prayer level) and when you are 15, (52 prayer level)
Never safe with your ppots. GL!
Posted 01 July 2010 - 10:14 PM
Posted 01 July 2010 - 10:19 PM

Rated 5 out of 5Â by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HRKW Tassels and fringe everywhere. This purse is stunning. There are soft leather tassels everywhere - tons of fringe. It's a good size, it's not too heavy, and it's a very high quality. My own personal tastes could do without the snakeskin and the shells, as I lived in Maui for a while and am over the whole ocean vibe and I've lived in the Southwest for too long as well, so I'm over the giant belt-buckle ten gallon hat things too. But the fringe makes up for all of that easily. Just beautiful. I highly recommend this purse - the inside has several pockets, and the high quality is obvious there as well; the seams are well sewn and strong, the hardware is rugged. Gorgeous. If they make one like this without the snakeskin and shells, I'm buying two. 12.28.2012
