Media Democracy's Moment
In an era when the influence of corporations on government decision-making rivals the power of the trusts in the Gilded Age, something remarkable is taking place: a democratic revolution against media consolidation. At the prodding of media activists, working journalists and musicians who argue that corporate consolidation is undermining democracy and culture, members of Congress and the Federal Communications Commission are beginning to reassert the all-but-forgotten principle that decisions about media ownership should take into account the public interest, and they have started asking tough questions about one of the biggest and most significant corporate giveaways in US history. "Something is definitely shifting in the country and in Washington," says Independent Representative Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who has argued for years that media consolidation is undermining democracy by putting more and more broadcast and cable outlets, newspapers and Internet sites into the hands of companies guided only by commercial and bottom-line values. "Where just a few years ago most people did not think about media as an issue, and most members of Congress shied away from talking about how our media is failing to serve the public interest in even the most basic sense, now there is a real dialogue going on. And that dialogue is critical because it is forcing the FCC commissioners to listen to people other than industry lobbyists."
The immediate issue is a critical one: the FCC's forthcoming vote on whether to relax or eliminate longstanding rules preventing media consolidation at both the local and national levels. These rules prevent one broadcast network from owning another broadcast network, limit the number of local broadcast stations that any one broadcaster can own to systems serving 35 percent of the TV-viewing households in the United States, prohibit a company from owning cable TV systems and TV stations in the same community, and prohibit ownership of newspapers and TV stations in the same community, among other things. If they are lifted, or even relaxed, business analysts are unanimous in predicting, a wave of media mergers will dwarf the merger mania of the 1990s. If these mergers go forward, cities across the United States will find themselves with one or two firms dominating nearly all of their media. Think company town in the marketplace of ideas.
The nation's largest communications corporation giants are using all their lobbying muscle to ram the changes through the FCC, and to win Congressional consent to additional assaults on public-interest protections. A joint statement filed with the FCC by Fox, NBC (Telemundo) and Viacom (CBS) argues that "there is no longer any public-interest need served by the commission's ownership rules." Their line, according to Charles Lewis of the Center for Public Integrity, has been backed up for years by an intensive lobbying campaign that uses more lobbyists and spends more money than securities and investment firms or unions to influence federal decision-making. Lewis notes that between 1995 and 2000 the industry took FCC employees on 1,460 all-expenses-paid trips, and between 1997 and 2000 paid for 315 junkets for members of Congress and senior staffers. Toss in a steady stream of campaign contributions--more than $1 million by Viacom alone to Congressional candidates in 2002, and roughly $75 million from media giants and their organizations between 1993 and 2000--and it is no wonder that, as Lewis says, "a regulated industry has a stranglehold over the regulator and its Congressional overseers." Considering the lack of coverage by the major TV and cable news networks of the FCC and Congressional deliberations on ownership issues, it is difficult to challenge Lewis's assertion that "not only does the media aggressively lobby and contribute to the two political parties and politicians at the federal level, they also decide whose face and voice make it onto the airwaves. Such raw power provokes fear and trepidation in the political realm."
No wonder there was a general sense that the fix was in when the FCC last year announced its plan to review the rules. The review was required by the 1996 Telecommunications Act and by aggressively pro-industry judges on the federal appellate court. FCC chair Michael Powell had already declared, "I start with the proposition that the rules are no longer necessary." For years, Powell had positioned himself as an outspoken believer in a model of regulation that assumes that when firms make enormous profits it is a sign they are satisfying free-market demands. Powell and two other Republicans form the majority on the five-member FCC.
However, the public interest has made a comeback. The commission received roughly 2,000 comments--overwhelmingly negative--on the proposed rules changes by the January 2 close of the official comment period, and it was flooded with more in the following weeks. Grassroots activists, many of them veterans of the Independent Media Center movement and the frustrating struggle to open the airwaves to community-based microradio stations, as well as the Newspaper Guild and other media unions, public interest groups such as the Consumers Union, the Center for Digital Democracy and such unexpected allies as conservative columnist William Safire, built a loose-knit movement that made enough noise to be heard on Capitol Hill--where House Democrats Maurice Hinchey and Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders circulated a letter expressing concern about the rush to eliminate ownership rules. The ranking members of the Senate subcommittee that deals with antitrust and competition issues, Republican Mike DeWine and Democrat Herb Kohl, urged the FCC to "support the public interest in diverse media ownership." In the most powerful sign yet that activists are having a significant impact, Michael Powell was grilled January 14 by members of the Senate Commerce Committee on the proposed rules changes. "If the commission is heading toward eliminating some of the barriers to additional concentration, that is a huge mistake," said North Dakota Democrat Byron Dorgan, who noted that all of the commercial radio stations in Minot, one of the largest cities in his state, are already owned by a single company. Democrat Ron Wyden told Powell, "It seems to me...that what the commission is going to do is shift policy so that one company could own everything in town" in communities across America. Wyden then asked Powell if he was concerned about the fact that one corporation, Clear Channel, has since 1996--when radio ownership rules were loosened--gone from owning a handful of stations to more than 1,200 nationally. Powell, who once claimed "the market is my religion," surprised everyone by answering, "Candidly, I am troubled.... I am concerned about media concentration, particularly in radio."

I really loved The Mars Volta's previous album, De-loused in the Comatorium and I was rather uncertain when I first heard this. It certainly wasn't as easy to get into than their first one but after you've had the patience to listen to it a few times it all starts to make sense.
On this album they've incorporated a lot more instruments and styles to the music and at the same time gone even more crazy in how they use them. Generally this works really well and the use of Spainish lyrics (at least I think it's Spainish) sounds really good, and it's not like their lyrics made any sense anyway... The track listing is as crazy as the music and you get the sense that they added in breaks between tracks on the CD just as a courtesy.
My main complaint would be that sometimes they go a bit too far and venture into the realm of randomness. Four minutes of the same piece of birdsong played over and over again can become tedious very quickly so I just skip past it.
All in all it's a really great album and something completely different. It's worth getting just for the last track alone. It's not for everyone though, I could understand how some people could hate this. If you haven't listened to the Mars Volta before I would recomend their first album over this as it's a lot easier to get into.

5.0 out of 5 stars One step furthur into prog-world ...,
By A Customer
'Frances the Mute' is The Mars Volta's next step into their bizarre land of hardcore techno progressive rock. Their previous efforts have both been mind blowing, using out of the blue tempo changes, huge ranges of instruments and most importantly the ever ingenious pairing of minds that is Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar A Rodriguez Lopez. Like 'De-loused in the Comatorium', 'Frances' is effectively a long heroine fuelled story on the other side of consciousness, but this time round it's more of an experience when listened to from to start to finish. It only actually consists of five songs, despite my CD player telling me twelve and the track listing telling me something like fifteen. Further confusion is caused by the song 'Frances the Mute''s lyrics appearing inside the CD case, despite there being no such song on the album.
The lyrics are based on a anonymous diary stumbled upon, telling of an abandoned child searching for his parents, but apart from little hints like "I won't forget who I'm looking for" you would never guess so. Since their early days in their former band 'At the Drive-in' Bixler Zavala and Rodriguez Lopez have taunted with words so deep and cryptic that I doubt even they know what they're talking about. This becomes most evident on 'L'Via L'Viaquez' where the verses are sung in what I presume is Spanish; perhaps Latin; perhaps neither. Nonsensical as the words are, make no mistake, they still have a profound effect when sung as emotionally as Bixler Zavala. He pours his heart and soul into the bounding vocal melodies; if this tells the story of a tragedy then it is still unwaveringly upbeat and uplifting, thanks in no small part to the blaring riffs and intricate solos from guitarist Rodriguez Lopez. The album's only single, 'The Widow', represents without doubt the worst material on the album; its slow acoustics still carry it through but compared to the burst of energy and life on the opening track 'Cygnus .. Vismund Cygnus' it is only filler.
After the forty or so minutes filled by the first four tracks comes 'Cassandra Geminni' the album's real winner. Basically it defines the word "progressive", lasting half an hour and the chorus only coming twice. Whoever tells you it takes time to get into is wrong; whether you're listening for the first time or the hundredth it is still compelling and imaginative. As the last song goes out with a burst of life, we're left with the opening moments of the album repeated, tinkering slowly before dying out. After a couple more listens you'll be hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars FRANCES THE MUTE,
I bought this album the year it came out, after having watched The Mars Volta and being completely blown away by their mesmerising and powerful live show. Many of the reviews here seem to assosciate The Mars Volta with Pink Floyd, Zeppelin etc but I find these comparisons not very useful in trying to get across a sense of The Mars Volta. In my opinion, such an enigmatic, and yet at the same time dramatic, band, do not really fully reward the listener who looks to drop the sound into musical categories. Listening to the Mars Volta's Frances The Mute, you might find their organic sound and some high pitched singing to be slightly alike a Zeppelin sound, but settle into it and, for example, listen to the weird structures of sound, the way the sounds are arranged around eachother, the way sounds and instruments emerge out of eachother, and you will begin to realise that this is a totally different experience, and that The Mars Volta are too amorphous (in the space of a song, let alone the album) to be pinned down. Might it help you to understand the album by me telling you that each time I give it a listen, I get totally different impressions from it?
This is a beautiful and powerful album,yet perhaps challenging if one doesn't have the time and stamina-of-attention-span to appreciate such a dense piece of work.
So, after this introduction about the difficulty of describing such an experimental and shifting album, I'll give some simpler impressions of the music:
Some simpler suggestions: You might note that without Rick Rubin, Mars Volta have a 'rawer' and much more organic and loose approach, it feels like they are stretching out more and have been unconstrained- allowing themselves to express their freeform compositions with characteristic energy and intensities. Take, for example, Cassandra Gemini, a song that really takes the album into another dimension, with its intense and electrifying openings folding out into all sorts of strange shapes and decompositions, with Cedrics utterly haunting, powerful and variable voicings hinting at a strange ritual?experience?altered state? while dramatic moments appear and carry stuttered sounds into new forms. I highly recommend this song (in my opinion, it really shows Omar and Cedric's talents as composer and singer respectively) and the album as an experience willing to yield a huge variety of riches to the careful and appreciative listener. I hope you enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, innovative second album,
Jase (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
A musical journey is an oft-used cliche in reviews, but in the case of The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute, it's completely appropriate. 5 tracks and 77 minutes trancsend multiple genres, from progmetal, to funk, jazz, latino and back again. The result is an astonishing album which expands and improves upon its predecessor, Deloused in the Comatorium in virtually every sense.
The elements of the first album remain; alien time signatures, effect-laden riffs, perplexing lyrics, and those (admittedly annoying) spaces between songs. Yet whilst the first album sounded like nothing else around, many of the songs were somewhat samey in sound. FTM, on the other hand is massively diverse, with trumpets violins, cellos and pianos being thrown full on into the mix. A strong latino theme encompasses much of the album, particularly on the brilliant L'Via L'Viaquez.
The opening track Cygnus picks up perfectly from where the first album left off (the poor Ambuletz aside), and the break-neck pace, and flurry of ideas tell you the bar has been raised a good few notches. Yet much of the album is slower, and more brooding giving you a chance to take breath. The Widow has considerable intensity, whilst the opening trumpet blast given by Chili Pepper guest Flea on Miranda... wouldn't have sounded out of place on the Kill Bill Vol 2 soundtrack. But it's the 33 min finale that is Cassandra Geminni that stands as the band's landmark to date. Never less than enthralling, it's like a concept album in itself.
Fellow Chili Pepper John Frusciante also returns on L'Via L'Viaquez. However, the much-improved guitar work elsewhere on the album suggest that his influence stretches well beyond a few riffs on one track.
Vocally, also Cedric Bixler Zavala is much stronger, the lyrics actually being coherent in places this time, whilst some bizarre vocal effects add a novel (if slightly silly) touch.
Overall, though, despite the influx of new ideas, the songs are structurally superior, the band knowing when a bit of restraint and subtlety are needed. It all holds together better than DITC, and is a true sum of its parts.
Whilst the oft mentioned influences of Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Led Zep et al may ring true, they ultimately mean little to many of the band's younger fans. The fact is, that at this point in time, few other bands can come close to matching this level of creativity and genious.

4.0 out of 5 stars a whole new board game,
The Mars Volta then. What actually are they? Frances the Mute characterises the genre hopping style that surrounds the band and the two musical enigmas at its heart- Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez. It is weird, to say the least, downright odd, if we are going to be honest, and it transcends pretty much every genre you could ever attempt to stick onto it. Most certianly what it is not is deloused pt II, a shame in some ways, but in others a relief. To compare the Mars Volta with my other favourite band, Queens of the Stone Age, progression is the key. Each time the Queens release an album, there is disappointment that it is not like their last one, something which should never ever have even been expected.
So the actual album. Well it is weird, but amazingly interesting. The flashes of punk which filled the 1st long player are still there, but there is overall a much greater sense of experimentation. The first track explodes with a swirling guitar that ATD-I would've been proud of, as fugazi style drum riffs punctuate the stop start dynamics. This is almost mars volta by numbers, until Rodriguez (who produced much of the album) slurs the riff into dreamy ambience. When the Mars Volta really shine is when they are at their weirdest, their most unexpected. L'Via Viaquez is perhaps the best track on the album, as a wailing guitar is set over precise salsa tempo drums and bass. The musicianship is breathtaking, the dynamics awe inspiring and the timing exquisite to say the least. My personal favourite track is the breathtakingly haunting Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore, flea's trumpet melding beautifully with the pained vocals of Bixler. The sprawl that is Cassandra Gemini, is as possibly expected of a sprawl, characterised by brilliant sections, and downright boring ones, yet thankfully the brilliance outweighs the monotony by a huge margin... Yet to the Mars Volta, I salute you, for making something totally different... Even when it doesn't totally succeed, there is nothing on earth quite like a Mars Volta album....Till Somerset House, Cedric and Omar...
4/5 sheerly for the reason that it won't appeal to everyone..this along with Lullabies To Paralyze by Queens of the Stone Age is my album of the year. A certain 5/5 for me, alone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive stuff,
Kingcrimsonprog "Kingcrimsonprog" (England) - See all my reviews
Frances The Mute, the second studio album by The Mars Volta is one of the most interesting and creative albums ever released.
No other album has ever had such an effect on me, at first I hated this album, resented the large music free sections, impenetrable lyrics and Latin music influence which had largely been absent on the band's debut.
Eventually I grew to enjoy about half of about half tracks on the album, hating the beginning or end of some songs, or enjoying the choruses of songs but not caring for what just seemed like jams that weren't going anywhere.
Then one day, I just 'got it' and ever listen since has been an absolute joy, one of the most impressive growers in musical history. Every listen reveals more saxophone parts, more keyboard sections, a new bass slide or guitar vibrato or a 3rd guitar part altogether.
The lyrics too, which frustrate the listener so much on first listen, intrigue for years afterward due to Cedric's unique style which at times seems like a stream of consciousness, at times seems like a word replacement puzzle and at times seem to contradict information given in press releases.
The story which accompanied the album was about the search for the character's biological parents, which is portrayed in lyrics like 'All the brittle tombs, Five hundred little q's I'm splitting hairs to Match the faces,' or 'Who do you trust Will they feed us the womb Chrome the fetal mirage,' ' and 'Umbilical syllables Left to decode, There was no cradle I can taste it, Come on now, All night I'll hunt for you, Let me show you what I mean.'
If these are examples of the most obvious lyrics you can imagine how difficult it is to interpret lyrics like 'She was a mink hand-job in Sarcophagus heels.'
Its easy to get caught up on the lyrics and forget about the quality of the album, an album which begins and ends with an acoustic guitar piece called 'Sarcophagi,' that sounds like its coming out of a transistor radio in the distance, and album that opens with a 13 minute song and contains a 30 minutes song called Cassandra Gemini, which is supposed to be split into five movements but is instead slit randomly across eight tracks, some of which are incorrectly labeled as being a part of the previous 13 minute track, 'Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore,' which is contained entirely on track four.
The album is best listened to as a whole, from beginning to end as each song relates to another lyrically or musically at some point or another, and the majority of tracks have atmospheric intros or outros to establish a mood or help tell the story that you are more tempted to skip if you just wish to listen to one track.
I am a big fan of concept albums, but never before have I heard an album that had more thought and effort put into it, nor an album with more secret alcoves and hidden meanings, where sections of music represent sections of the story or means of story telling.
On paper, Frances The Mute is one of the most interesting albums I've ever heard of, but I'm glad to report that on CD its also one of the best albums I've ever listened to, and it entertains me just as much as it impresses me.
1.0 out of 5 stars One word..Rubbish follow up to Epic 'Deloused'..,
Gabriel Hill Harriss "Dionysus" (Bedford,England) - See all my reviews
I really like 'Deloused in the Comantorium', so why didnt I like there critically acclaimed follow up? Well, I dug out my old copy of Deloused the other day, after listening to Sparta, At the Drive in, and I STILL love Mars's first album! So I decided to download the second one, after hearing its one of their best. What a dissapointment, the first track starts off the album really weakly, and meanders into some half baked psychadelic tune out for about 5 minutes. Its nothing new, and the tunes are really unmemorable. The only saving grace is Omars guitar playing which has come on leaps and bounds, so musically, they are tighter than ever, but where are the tunes? Theres just to much noodling and ego space tripping on here..but if it had something dark or even an element of sound to it, it might have been better. Even on Deloused I liked the atmospheric moments, but there seemed to be some depth and dynamic to it, Frances just doesnt live up to the hype to be honest. I also hate trumpets and brass in rock music! Leave it to Ska and Big Band! I have yet to venture further into there catalogue, but this step has put me off slighty. Someone reassure me they arent all like this after deloused?

5.0 out of 5 stars Mars Volta - Frances the Mute,
S. MCBEATH "Stmcb" (uk) - See all my reviews
At first listen, it just sounds like a complete mess and is all over the place, though bit by bit it begins to make more sense..
On the 1st listen: Widow single (edit) makes sense
2-5 listens Cygnus apart from the last 2 mins makes sense
6-10 listens Miranda (now I realise the true genius of it)
11-15 listens L'Via L'viaquez (brilliant)
15-20 listens getting there with Cassandra Gemini but its still pretty tough.
The bits such as the last 3 minutes of the widow and 2 mins of Cygnus along with various other parts of the album can only really be described as 'awkward' listening. When the later minutes of Widow were playing my Mum actually thought the CD was jamming! To be fair it does sound that way. I do wonder what Omar and Cedric think of these parts, as they must have a reason why they are included. Obviously no one could understand their music more than them so they must see something in these parts which make them special enough to have included them on the album. In saying that, what I thought were 4 awkward minutes in the beginning of Miranda, I now realise that it really does act as a superb build up till the trumpets slowly come in. The uses of the trumpets are what makes Miranda such a cold and chilling track and adds to the atmosphere of the album as a whole.
Like any good album you really can't judge it until you've listened to it a lot. I really didn't like this album for starter especially as it is meant to be listened to in one sitting. At 76 minutes long, I think the sheer length of it played mind tricks on me and instead of properly listening to the music, I was thinking of how long it was. As you keep listening to it, time gradually becomes insignificant and when that stage is reached you can truly appreciate the album because it will start to make sense, so you're focusing less on the time and more on the music.
This album is to deloused as deloused is to relationship of command (At the Drive-in) because from relationship to de-loused, they really did take their music to another level and now they've managed one step further. Whether they make the next step with their next album remains to be seen, where that step is I don't think they even know! But one thing is for sure they have the talent to be timeless.
One thing I really like about this album is the concept that it is never ending, it can just loop forever because the end of the last track Cassandra, turns into the intro for Cygnus.
This album also shows how singer Cedric really has moved away from ATDI even further because there are virtually no 'shouty' bits at all. In fact Frances shows what an amazing singer he really is. He hits notes which most people could only dream of reaching, for example the "oh yeah" s during Cygnus or the "bring me to my knees towards the beginning of Cassandra. Overall his pure and unique vocals add a great deal to the album.
However the key to this album which holds it together is not Cedric's unique vocals, Omar's exquisite guitar playing or John's mental drumming but it's the infectious baselines which set the tone for the whole album. While Omar, Cedric, John along with the other contributors go off into their own little worlds in the album, the base line is the constant throughout each song and brings it all together. In particular Omar's guitar playing seems to dance round the baselines not knowing which way he's going to go next.
To explain what their album is like compared to other prog albums I'll put it in to context by using the analogy of running. First of all I'll explain how much music in general can be related to running. Anyone can run a mile, maybe at different times, but they can still run it. Just like pop music, its easy to understand. However longer runs require more training and you have to build up to it. This is like progressive music because you need to listen to it lots in order to understand it or to appreciate it to its full potential. To put this into context of this Mars Volta album is like a 3 hour long run. A 3 hour long run can take many shapes and forms. The MV album is like a mix of urban and rural landscapes. The urban bits are the straight forward road running bits, or the parts of the albums which are the easiest to understand. However they are still hilly sections in this part to keep it challenging. Then there is the rural parts which are the parts are the rough trails which take longer because it is more technical. This represent those 'awkward' moments of the album.
To sum up Frances the mute is a never ending journey through a musical landscape. A tough 3 hour long run may sound completely unthinkable to some people, but if you do the training its nothing short of brilliance just like Frances the Mute!

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of this world (Volting clean over Mars!),
On first listening to this album, I won't deny I had my doubts about it's pedigree especially put alongside De-Loused, an album almost instantly assuming cult status similar to Mellon Collie. The atmospheres in this make the epic Cicatriz ESP seem like a radio friendly pop tune but that's the point. Traditional classifications of music fall apart when pinned on something so vibrant as this. So much so that accurately reporting the various textures, themes, melodies, riffs isn't a practical reality. Instead I must rely on some basic overviews to convey this masterpiece.
For me personally the sign of a truley great album is when I listen to it in the dark on my own. This is a situation in which the Mars Volta excell. The pure ambition driving this album means that attention to detail is paramount from the effects used on the guitars to the complex atonal guitar melodies lapping over each other like rabid wolves. This creates a peice that stands up and even improves with multiple listening.
Give this record a chance and by exactly the 4th time listening to it all the way through, it will make some semblence of sense.
A joy!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Like no other CD I own.,

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Well, with how diverse, complex and intriguing this album is, it's a little difficult to quite put into words what listening to it is like.
Of course, it's nothing but positivity regarding each song. Although, you can barely call them all 'songs' since the vast majority link together to make for a listening experience that takes you through so many twists and turns.
Guitars, fast paced, slow paced, bilingual and extraordinary lyrics; what else is there left to cover for The Mars Volta?
If you've only heard The Widow and L'Via L'Viaquez, then I'd highly recommend you take careful consideration when buying this album. You may not get what you expect with the rest. That may be in a great way or a bad way.
But if you like music that's a little 'out there', don't take another minute to buy it and find out what's in store.

athy wants to make your life easier; she would love to fill your products for you. Kathy is the lead in our Private Label Filling Department. Kathy has a broad smile on her face, no matter how much work she has to do and what kind of deadline she is under. She has a great attitude and is always ready and willing work hard.
One time when we had a big deadline and she was working over-time, I had to force her to take her breaks, putting Muscle Jelly on her arms while escorting her to the break-room, because she was too focused to take care of herself. She treats every product that comes through the private label room as if it was her own.
Kathy actually came to work for us as part of the "Mom Squad" when they first formed. She loved her job so much that she asked to be hired on full time in June of 2007. Kathy is marrying her long time sweet heart, Kevin (the Compounder), on June 29th of this year. Their daughter Hope is 11 years old and the center of their world. Kathy enjoys collecting Snowbabies with Hope, but her new love is water aerobics; she loves the water. Kathy is also on the Essential Wholesale Portland to Coast Relay Race team: the OrgaNUTs. Kathy enjoys going for walks and with the focus of the team to get ready for the race, she will have plenty of opportunities to do that.
In her free time, Kathy enjoys shopping. Her family also loves to camp together. Her very favorite place to go is along the Oregon coast. Much of her free time right now is dedicated to planning her up-coming wedding. It is really fun for us to witness the excitement of the upcoming nuptials since we have both parties working under the same roof. And with the Portland to Coast Relay Race coming up in a few short months, Kathy will enjoy all the training.
Kathy loves working at Essential Wholesale. She enjoys seeing Kevin throughout the day Kathy gets along with everyone. She really enjoys the people she works with and loves the products. Kathy says, "I like what I do, it is fun! I just like to work." And her pure enjoyment is evident to everyone around her. When I come into the private label room to QC product Kathy always flashes a warm and sincere smile. Her smile is contagious. This fall I worked beside Kathy for about a week when the entire staff came together to meet a customer's deadline. I am competitive and filling products became a race for me. It was humbling because she kept beating me, while quietly giggling. That's okay. I still love her, and I am glad she is better at her job than I am!

Amazing Mobile Apps Can Increase Awareness!
Just imagine how many people are going to view your business as a professional company, when they see that you have a mobile application. It does not matter whether you are an online business or a local company. The benefits of having a mobile app are substantial. They can allow you to communicate with your customers, provide them with up-to-date information on your products or services, or I can even provide you with a way to sell things to them directly through their smart phone or tablet. It truly does not matter what type of product or service you specialize in, having a mobile app can revolutionize the way that you do business and increase your profit.
Brand your business
A big part about owning a business or company, is your branding. Branding is how well you market yourself, and establish a name for your business across your industry. Ultimately, having good branding is about how well your customers recognize your name. For instance, if your name instantly comes up when customers start talking about the line of business that you are in, this is an example of good branding. You can compare this to retail stores. If you were to ask somebody to list off the retail stores that they can think of, they would easily be able to tell you stores like Walmart, Kmart, Rite Aid, and similar stores. The reason that they know the names of these businesses off the top of their head, is that these stores engage in branding their business and establishing a name for themselves. By having a mobile app, you will be able to increase your level of professionalism and be recognized as a high-quality company.
There are so many reasons why your business should consider investing in a mobile application, which is now offered by the SEO Pros company. Ultimately, it comes down to your budget, and what your plans are to do with the mobile app. Your return on investment relies on your engineering and ability to come up with a good and profitable idea.

Recent New Smyrna Beach reviews
"What a perfect condo for my visit to New Smyrna Beach. It was cozy and comfortable. I can't think of a single thing that was missing. Loved sitting on the deck in the morning looking at the ocean. Can't wait to return!"Guest: Patti Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 8, 2015View listing
"Perfect spot. First floor unit provides the convenience of walking right out to the pool and ocean. This unit was very clean and comfortable. Parking was convenient (right in front of our door), which made it so easy to unload and load the car. The only thing I missed was an in unit washer and dryer, however washers and dryers are available on the second floor if needed. New Smyrna is a quiet beach community and very relaxing. I look forward to returning."Guest: Teresa K. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 31, 2015View listing
"We have just returned from NSB after staying in this unit at Chadham It was perfect in every way. This lovely, ocean front unit was well equipped with everything one would need at the beach. I took my own beach towels, but that was unnecessary as there must have been a dozen for us to use as well as a closet full of beach chairs for adults and beach toys for the little ones! We have stayed in many condos and hotels along the beach, but we enjoyed this condo and its location as well as any. The washer/dryer inside the unit was an additional plus. You will not be disappointed."Guest: Beach Lover Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 10, 2014View listing
"I would highly recommend this place, the apartment is right on the beach in probably one of the best luxury building in NSB. It is very well maintained with everything you need and has an awesome views of the beach from both the balcony, living room and master bedroom. You could not ask for better amenities in this luxury property, covered parking, gym, tennis, hot tub, heated pool, and direct access to the beach. We spent our days walking the beach and enjoying the pool. As a couple the place was plenty big and has beds to sleep 6. Great Ocean Condos made the rental process easy. Check it out. http://www.greatoceancondos.com/rns/rental/ET403/"Guest: JK Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: January 8, 2015View listing
New Smyrna Beach Travel Tips
Set on the Atlantic shoreline near the center of the eastern border of Florida, New Smyrna Beach is a relaxing and beautiful destination for those looking to get out in the sun, sand and surf. Located only an hour from Orlando, it's perfect for those who like to have an option between the comfort of a resort town and the thrill of the city.
New Smyrna Beach Attractions
White sand beaches
With over 13 miles of breathtaking white sand beaches, the natural landscape of the shoreline at New Smyrna Beach is a must-see. The seemingly endless beach allows for a whole host of activities and cultures. Surfing, fishing, bird watching and a plethora of different water sports can be explored on any given day while strolling along the beach. Located just north of Canaveral National Seashore, the beaches in New Smyrna offer all the beauty of some of our nation's most loved coastal scenery while simultaneously giving off the vibe of a quaint surf town.
Embrace the arts
A perfect destination for those who love to take in the artistic side of things, New Smyrna Beach was named one of "America's Top Small Cities for the Arts." Each year, the calendar in NSB is absolutely packed with different art shows and classes featuring both performance and traditional artistic mediums. The Atlantic Center for the Arts, which offers residency programs to artists and classes to the public, is open year-round and considered one of the foremost artistic hubs in the area. New Smyrna Beach also boasts a local theater (known colloquially as "The Little Theater") and has multiple street fests celebrating the local arts community each year, such as Arts on Douglas.
New Smyrna Beach Things to Do
Hit the surf
Along this lavish length of white sand, you'll find people engaging in just about any beach activity you can imagine. Still, one of these pastimes stands out more than anything in New Smyrna, and that's surfing. Known for its vibrant community of surfing enthusiasts, New Smyrna Beach has been named to National Geographic's list of the World's 20 Best Surf Towns. Those with little to no experience looking to hit the waves should check out Nichols Surf Shop and Cafe. Located near the beach on Flagler Avenue, the shop is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day and offers great food as well as surfboard, skim board, boogie board and kayak rentals.
In business since 1969, Nichols Surf Shop and Cafe is the single oldest surf shop in all of New Smyrna Beach. A charming building, the cafe was first built in 1910 as a Sears mail-order home. Before becoming the current site of the cafe, the bungalow was occupied by several different tenants, including multiple mayors of New Smyrna Beach. Nowadays, Nichols Cafe makes the perfect pit stop for people headed out to the beach or back home from it. If you're gearing up for a big day out on the waves, fuel up with their BLT or their world-famous chicken salad. Inversely, for those looking for a reward after a long day at the beach or out on the water, you'd do better to pick up some of the banana bread or chocolate-covered espresso beans. Nichols is a spot for relaxation, so feel free to come by and simply take in the view with a glass of lemonade, a cup of coffee or one of their wonderful oasis fruit smoothies.
Slow ride, take it easy
Visitors to New Smyrna Beach are often taken aback by the drive-on beach that allows cars to traverse its sandy lengths. Pack the family into the rental car and pull onto the sand to experience beautiful Florida coastline from your own personal chariot. Cruise for a while until you find a place to park, then pull a blanket out and enjoy the day in the sun! Remember, there's an enforced 10 mile-per-hour speed limit, so be sure to leave your lead foot at the hotel. Remain in the marked traffic lanes at all times, and stay out of conservation areas to ensure that the beach stays beautiful for the visitors that come after you.
Love our links
With fantastic year-round weather conditions, New Smyrna Beach is a favorite destination among golfers of all skill levels. Each of the town's many courses feature at least nine holes, while several of the more expansive clubs have 27 different tee boxes. Those looking for a professional experience on a fast, beautiful course should consider visiting Hidden Lakes Golf Course. Featuring a wonderfully challenging, par-69 18-hole layout, this course is one you won't quickly forget. Plus, with lessons for the kids and a fully stocked bar in the pro shop, there's something for everyone. Take an afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of the beach to come and play through 18 holes.

On the front page Pakman blames George Bush Jr. for all of the country's problems. Totally stupid, I totally disagree with that.

We are poised to attack Iraq because Saddam Hussein is a terrorist, unless Pakman thinks otherwise and likes him, and our economy is doing so bad at the moment because of the aftermath from the terrorist attacks and terrorism as a whole. Plus all those corporate scandals, I don't agree with the way that Bush is handeling the corporate mess, but I don't blame him for all of our country's problems. That is like trying to say that it was Bill Clinton's fault that all of those Army Rangers and Delta Force died in Somolia back in 93, and that it is his fault that we don't have Bin Laden yet, wait, no, it is all his fault. Nevermind.
Oh so the best way to recover is to go into Iraq and "smoke them out of their holes" eh ? It seems that US can't recover without violance under the pretext of "national security"

Kal Penn Returns to White House After Shooting 'Harold & Kumar 3'
His first day back in Washington was Nov. 15.
Back in July 2009, Penn made headlines after he left Hollywood to join the Obama administration as a liaison to the Asian American and arts communities. He also was extensively involved in campaigning for Obama back in 2008 when he concentrated on energizing young voters-even leaving a plum role on TV's hit show 'House' to do so.
According to the ABC News, even while he was away filming, Penn was still very involved in the political arena, making appearances for California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.
'A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas' is scheduled to hit theaters during the 2011 holiday season.

There are two ways: first, go to the 'View' menu, select 'show status bar', and a bottom-of-window bar will display a link when your cursor is positioned on one. Second, if you depress the [left] mouse button and hold it down, then drag just off the region of the link, a display will pop open at the cursor.

Presumably, the Office installer can modify/update the Microsoft Silverlight.plugin (which is installed in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/), which Safari and Chrome could potentially be using. It's primarily just a precaution against updating files which an application is actively using. [EDIT] After further investigation, it looks like it's actually the fact ...
In case you are coming from Chrome and want to use cmd+[0-9] for switching tabs (instead of cycling through your preset top sites) take a look at: github.com/rs/SafariTabSwitching Safari Tab Switching is a Safari SIMBL plugin which allow switching between tabs using Cmd+1-9.
Go to the "Help" menu in Safari and select "Installed Plug-ins". This will open a new tab displaying information about all of the currently installed plug-ins. Find the entry for Adobe Acrobat.

So today is my moms birthday. She called me at noon upset because she'd been stuck in front of hardware store for an hour with my dad because his truck died. She want a new wheelbarrow for her b'day, so my dad took her to pick one out. Well she calls me and asks if I could come get her. I said of course I'll be right there. So I load up myself and the dog and head over. I pull up right behind my dads dead 78 Ford work truck. My parents dog is playing in the bd of the truck so I put my dog in the bed too so they can play together.
My dad is under the hood with a tow truck driver and they both want to get the truck started because the guy parked next to my dad needs a tow too lol and the tow truck driver doesn't want to come back for the 2nd truck.
So I'm talking to my mom leaning against the truck right next to the exhaust when BOOM. Stupid truck backfired sooo loud my mom still can't hear. All the birds vanished. The dogs bailed from the truck and started walking away down the sidewalk. People came out of the stores to see what happened. State Parks pulled up afraid someone was shooting in the street and asked my dad if he should call for back up. Once I stopped laughing I caught the dogs and went into the store to say hi to a friend. I walked in and everyone stopped and stared so I said loudly 'yep that was my dads truck!' and the store fell into a laughing fit (this was a hardware store so it was all grown men rolling around laughing lol). So after saying hi to my friend, I head back out. They got the truck started, but the backfire blew a seal off the muffler so it was running really loud. My dad left and driver towed the other truck away. I gave my mom a hug and asked her if she was happy with her wheelbarrow. That got me a slap on the arm lol. So then I took her out for brunch (crab eggs benedict with a champagne hollandaise sauce) for her birthday. I told her at least it was birthday to remember!!! I don't think she found the same humor in it as I did.... LOL

1. Add butter in a saute-pan and sauté onions in it until soft and creamy.
2. In another pan bring the stock/water/cooking liquid to a boil.
3. When the onions become translucent. Add the rice. Stir for a while, until all the grains are nicely coated and turned translucent.
4. Now, add hot stock/water slowly to the rice. Add 1 ladle at a time and keep stirring allowing all the liquid to be absorbed by the rice before you add the next ladle.
5. Cook the rice until al dente. It should be soft yet have a bite and should not be chalky. Add salt and pepper to season. You can leave it simple… maybe just finish it with a little butter.
6.Serve topped with Parmigiano if you like.
Be creative and add any ingredients you'd like… maybe fresh herbs or pancetta & peas or mixed veggies.

Random thoughts on the NBA from Wednesday, January 9th.
Brew Hoop's got the lowdown on the Bucks' win last night over the Sixers. Interesting notes, as always from those guys. Particularly interesting is the phoenix-like rise of two suckheads this season.
-Charlie Bell: Basketball Disaster took a night off as Charlie Bell: Valued Support Player made a rare appearance, this time for the second game in a row. Two 20+ games, even with average shooting, if Bell can just get something, anything going, the Bucks can go from horrific disaster to mid-level growing team.
-Charlie Villaneuva is alive! It's true! He's alive! And he scored 15 with 10 boards tonight!
– Yi got owned. This is unsurprising. Yi's at that stage where rookies start to run out of steam. The important thing for the Bucks is to get to a point where everyone's just playing up to snuff. Then they can reach for above-snuff levels.
Via The Association, Rasheed Wallace can throw the basketball at the basketball hoop really really well.
Today's theoretical question: If we were to actually get the All-Star Horse competition many of us clamor for, what five players would you want in the competition? (Side question: Do you remember when Simmons didn't make you want Boston sports teams to simultaneous suffer crippling league penalties (as opposed to losing your 32nd pick instead of the seventh) and laugh, laugh, laugh at his misery? Those were good times.)
1. Sheed
2. Zero
3. Kobe
4. Nash- Because of the soccer skillz.
5. Ricky Davis- How amazing would this be?
Also, first loser has to grow a beard for the rest of the season.
I was at first flabbergasted when Chicago lost to New York tonight. I mean, The Knicks? Isiah Thomas' Knicks?
But then it hit me.
This is just not Chicago's year.
It's not about the lack of an inside scorer (though they need one). It's not about Scott Skiles. It's not about the vacuumous black hole of Suck that is Ben Wallace (though he is the worst acquisition in the last five years for any Eastern team).
What's more likely, that the last three years have been aberrations, lucky outliers, a random upswing? Or that they're just having a bad year?
I think if this team doesn't get blown up next year, they could get back to where they've been, and where they should be.
The biggest problem I see for them? Ben Gordon. Why? He's a pure scorer.
Look at the best teams in the league. Boston. Detroit. San Antonio. Phoenix. New Orleans.
They're built with players that can do multiple things on a court. There's not a pure scorer on those five teams.
Gordon is a liability in every phase of the game outside of scoring. His defense is sub-par. His court vision is invisible because he's always looking to shoot. He doesn't rebound. And he cannot run the offense. Him running point makes my eyes bleed.
Chicago would be better served finding two all around players than giving this guy his money, and I like Gordon's scoring. But the Bulls need more all over the court.
Rockets have won 3 of 5.
It's time to start shopping TMac. You can't get equal value for him. Who cares? Would you rather say you didn't get screwed in a trade or win more games?
Clearly, the Bobcats were motivated to prove to Corn they were worth watching more than this.

America's Wrestling Radio Show (TDR) returns to our home based Brute Adidas studios at KXNO for this loaded program. Steve Foster and possibly Jeff Murphy will man the guns as I will be covering a network event in South Florida. I know, rough duty considering the weather here. I promise to come back for a series of shows that will include a special video broadcast of a visit to Sean Bormet's Overtime School of Wrestling, the Midlands and the NWCA National Duals.
Joining Steve, Jeff, Randy and crew will be-
Ken Kraft- Founder of the Midlands Wrestling Championships. The 46th Annual Midlands will take place at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Dec 29th and 30th. This years field of competitors include 7 Big 10 programs and 2 Big 12 teams with a possible showdown between long time rivals Iowa and Iowa State. Visit the Nusports.com for additional information.
Scott Hinkel- Head Coach of Purdue- A name synonymous with Purdue wrestling, Scott Hinkel became the Boilermakers' 13th Head Coach in school history in 2007, after 14 years as a Purdue assistant. Hinkel wasted no time in ushering success back into the Purdue program, becoming the third coach in school history to post a winning dual record in his first season along with Don Corrigan and Fred Miller.
Jack Spates- Head Coach of the Sooners of Oklahoma. Fresh off a great west coast tour Spates and company find themselves undefeated (7-0) for the first time in years and still enjoying the second defeat in 2 years over the Cowboys of OSU.
Andrew Pariano- Asst. Head Coach of Northwestern University. This young man has plenty on his plate, challenging for a Big 10 Conference Title, getting the facility and the team ready for the Midlands at home a National Duals position. Plenty to do, enough time? We'll find out.
Chris Bono- Head Coach U of Tennessee at Chat. The Mocs are currently 4-5 on the season and 1-0 in Southern Conference action. Facing a demanding non-conference schedule, with three of their five losses coming against ranked opponents. Mocs have notched wins over Davidson, Newberry, Northern Illinois and Anderson, UTC has tough defeats against No. 25 Kent State, No. 11 Northwestern, No. 6 Nebraska and West Virginia. The only other loss was a 25-16 set back against E. Michigan. Wednesday night action- The Mocs are 5-2 all time against NAIA Cumberland, including a 42-3 win in Maclellan Gym on Nov. 10, 2007. UTC?s last loss in the series was a 21-17 defeat on Feb. 11, 2002. Chattanooga is 4-0 all time against Gardner Webb, including a 46-6 win on Jan. 21, 2007, in their last meeting. UTC faces No. 12 Oklahoma, No. 5 Missouri and West Virginia before completing SoCon action. The match with the Sooners takes place in Maclellan Gym on Jan. 11 at 1:00 p.m.
Joel Greenlee- Ohio University now in his 12th year as the head coach of the Bobcats. Ohio's Jacob Ison (Batavia, Ohio) is ranked 20th in the latest poll released by Intermat Wrestling. Ison is 8-1 on the season at 174 pounds. The Bobcats notched wins over Appalachian State and the Citadel, split at the Hossier Dual and Greenlee looks to improve that record with his young team.

34 year old woman | Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USA | Seeking men 28-36 within 50 miles
'Ain't nothing wrong with a woman who's got a little back bone" :)
.. I am an outgoing, fun, active, and successful girl. I have worked hard to get to where I am in my life and career and now I'm ready to continue to enjoy the fruits of my labor and share it with someone. From the start, let's be clear, I am a huge dork and a goof ball! I find myself to be hilarious even if I'm the only one laughing. I appreciate a person who can be funny (I love sarcasm)! I'm looking for someone who can dish out the witty banter as well as take it. I value and appreciate honesty, even if it's not what people want to hear at least if they are honest you can still respect them. I love spending time with my family and friends and hosting parties. I love to travel and have been to some amazing and random places but have many, many more on my list that I want to see. I really enjoy learning and experiencing other cultures. It reminds me to appreciate all that I have in life and always offers amazing learning experiences. I enjoy sports, watching or playing and pretty much anything outdoors and especially near the water. Working out is a priority to me, it helps me stay healthy, fit and feel balanced. I am Very goal oriented and when I set a goal for myself I will work my hardest to obtain it! I am not what most people would classify as a "normal woman" I like to think of myself as a real life oxymoron. I love to dress up on my days off and be girly but I'm not afraid to get some dirt under my nails and do work around the house, yard, work or gym! (Prissy tomboy is a pretty accurate description. haaa) I love my job but have a different work schedule which provides me with plenty of time off for travel and fun activities. I value a guy who has a backbone and stands up for the things he believes in. I'm hoping to find a guy who understands the difference between a want and a need. I am independent and I don't need anything that I haven't already provided for myself but I want and I'm ready for a relationship with a man who can appreciate me for the person I am. Even though I would classify myself as an independent for the most part, I do appreciate chivalry and I'm not a wacky feminist. I still appreciate a gentlemen who opens doors on dates. I'm looking for a partner and friend to spend time with, share adventures,laugh and have fun with.

I have Dogs
I have a puppy and she is my sweet, spoiled rotten, little nightmare and I adore her! She is half lab/pit. She might be spoiled but she is grateful because she was a rescue. :)
I love being anywhere close to the water...beach, river, lakes, etc. I also love to travel mostly international trips. I have a lot of places I want to go see!
Favorite music is a wide mix but includes country, hip hop, rap, pop, alternative, pretty much anything other than oldies...they annoy me for some reason. I love mindless tv (a guilty pleasure)
I really enjoy working out, more specifically Crossfit. I love spending time with my friends & family! Hosting parties and cooking are a fun time to me.I enjoy anything near or around water, beaches, river, wake boarding. Sports-playing or watching.
A work related book, super fun!

The new Peter Nadas book is out— Fire and Knowledge —and received a nice, thoughtful review from Benjamin Lytal in today's New York Sun.
(I may be repeating myself, but seriously, Ben gets to review the cream of the crop . . . )
The book sounds interesting, but also seems to be one of those mishmash books of essays and discarded fiction that is interesting in part, but isn't worth reading all 400-pages. . . . I'm really looking forward to the new novel that's on its way. I believe it's part of a trilogy that FSG will be publishing. Supposedly it's on the scale of The Book of Memories, which I've heard FSG (or Picador, I forget) is reissuing this soon.
