Feet like Velcro! Oxlade-Chamberlain shows incredible control to take down Cazorla pass over his head [Vine]
- March 11, 2014
- Comments0
The Ox is showing great attacking intent and urgency at Bayern tonight, and this moment showed it in style.
Running onto a long ball over the top from Cazorla, the Ox killed it with one touch over his head, and continued dribbling without even breaking stride.
What's more, he even gleaned a yellow card out of Dante, which could have an impact as the game wears on.

Razer Nabu smartband confirmed for release next week
We've just received confirmation that Razer's new smartband, the Nabu, is finally confirmed for release - coming next week, first to the North American market, followed by the rest of the world soon after.
We've covered the Nabu's specifications and features before. As quoted by Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan, the Razer Nabu is designed to work as "a cross between a smartwatch and a fitness band. It's a wearable device focused on helping you live smarter."
According to email contact between Razer's Australian promoters, Surprise Attack, the Razer Nabu release will begin next week. Coming at a price of $99.99, this new technology offering has been tested by "500 of Razer's most loyal fans" whom were given the ability "to buy the bands earlier in the year for a single dollar".

Sony working on e-paper smartwatch, as innovation is critical
Sony is reportedly working on a new watch that utilizes e-paper, and could be released as early as 2015, as the Japanese electronics company restructures and shuffles focus on select technologies. The watch face and wrist band will be made of e-paper and the surface area will be able to display time and its appearance can be modified.
Instead of being a next-generation smartwatch, Sony hopes that the watch will include style alongside functionality.
"The innovation program is very important, but it will take time and require some risk taking," said Sado Nagaoaka, Hitotsubashi University professor. "It's not that Sony ran out of new ideas, but rather, it's taking too long to restructure, and gigantic losses have starved new businesses of funds."

Deploying police body cameras could help avoid high-profile incidents
The unfortunate incident between officer Darren Wilson and Michael Brown, which left Brown dead and many people rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, has become a prominent platform in the promotion of body cameras. A growing number of police agencies are deploying wearable cameras, typically clipped to an officer's uniform, as a method to record officer interactions with members of the community - and a way to help provide insight into deadly encounters.
"The findings suggest more than a 50 percent reduction in the total number of incidents of use-of-force compared to control-conditions, and nearly 10 times more citizens' complaints in the 12-months prior to the experiment," according to a Police Foundation-commissioned study.
Department of Justice officials and other law enforcement experts share similar findings - and believe the use of body cameras could help prevent future incidents like in Ferguson. Civil liberty groups say the videos would help prevent officers from abusing their authority, while law enforcement groups mention citizens would be less likely to falsely accuse officers of wrongdoing.

Michael Brown's family campaigning for police officers to wear cameras
As buildings in Ferguson, Missouri, remain ablaze from a night of chaos related to news that Darren Wilson, the police officer that killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown, wouldn't be indicted, the Brown family wants officers to begin wearing body cameras.
Here is what the family said following news the officer wouldn't be indicted: "Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera. A growing number companies are now interested in developing wearable body cameras, and due to a growing number of high-profile incidents across the country, there is a more lively debate if police agencies should adopt their use.
Meanwhile, there are so many fires in Ferguson, fire crews are having trouble to respond to all of them, especially as vandals continue to pose significant safety threats.
castAR has shipped its first set of AR glasses, more on their way
Jeri Ellsworth has taken to Twitter to announce that the Technical Illusions team is finally shipping their first pair of castAR glasses. You might remember the startup took to Kickstarter to raise $1 million, spearheaded by ex-Valve engineers Jeri Ellsworth and Rick Johnson.
The AR glasses feature active shutter glasses, a camera for input and a projector that displays 3D images onto a surface. The company caalls the device "the most versatile AR and VR system" but it has more strength in its AR side, with its VR side not working until you buy the optional clip-on. We should hopefully have a pair in the coming months, so keep checking back here at TweakTown.

Pebble update see's 80 languages added and Android app support
Pebble's smarwatch has just received a version 2.8 firmware update that has seen 80 languages supported alongside notification support for Android applications.
Looking at Pebble's website, you can see their comprehensive list of languages on offer and how some of them are displayed on your handheld interface. But the most exciting update here comes in the form of Android notification support. Available for use with both iOS and Android systems, Pebble was missing the crucial ability to tee up with your Android phone, pushing notifications from this device handily to your wrist watch. Fixed in the latest update, we wouldn't be surprised to see Pebble stocks rise a little in the coming weeks.
Pebble's Vice President of Software Engineering, Kean Wong, released a statement saying: "This new app has been the culmination of months of work by our fantastic Android team to re-build our Android app, focused on notification improvements, increasing stability and performance, and providing a solid platform for the long roadmap of great new features we have planned. Full notifications support, is a significant improvement-one we'll build on to provide more amazing notification features soon."
Their 2.1 Android app will be a phased roll-out on Google Play as according to Pebble staff - take a look to see if you've been granted the new capabilities.
Seattle Police Department will outfit officers with body cameras
The Seattle Police Department will move forward to outfit officers with wearable body cameras, after the deal hit a hiccup due to a large number of open record requests by an anonymous programmer. The programmer operates a YouTube video that posts 911 calls, surveillance and police footage, embracing a beneficial open record laws.
"Under the law, they get requests regardless of whether or not I go away, and they view what I do as part of the solution," the programmer said. The programmer dropped the requests as part of an agreement that will have the police department provide him with video footage of police interactions and arrests with the public.
Police agencies are interested in wearable video cameras for officers as a better method to clear officers - and possibly press additional charges - on suspects. The Seattle Police Department has been under federal monitoring for more than two years, due to excessive force complaints against officers.
First thoughts: Sony's Smartwatch 3
Sony have just launched their latest offering to the ever-growing smart watch market. Even though originally claiming that they weren't interested in entering the Android Wear market in the beginning, they've decided that they want a slice of the market.
Sony's flagship watch comes with the following specifications:
- 1.6-inch transflective LCD screen with a resolution of 320 × 320
- 420 mA when the built-in battery
- 4GB built-in memory
- Snapdragon 400 processor
- Measurements: 36mm x 10 mm x 51 mm
- Body weight of 38 grams, 36 grams strap
- Light sensor, acceleration sensor, gyro magnetometer, GPS
- IP68 level of protection
- NFC and Wi-Fi
The Smartwatch 3 is designed in a 'low-key' styling, not meant to be so much as of a fashion statement when compared to the Motorola 360, for example. As you may have noticed, the Smartwatch 3 comes in a few very bright color offerings including pink and yellow - not for the feint if heart. Alongside this, Sony's product comes with a silicone wrist strap - giving the feel that this product is designed for an athletic and/or younger audience.

Sci-fi worthy of Malthus
In the new sci-fi movie "Oblivion," Earth's most precious resource is Tom Cruise. But running a close second (spoiler alert) is water. Aliens want it. All of it.
This is old hat, science fiction-wise. In "The War of the Worlds," H.G. Wells had Martians coming to Earth to quench their thirst. The extraterrestrial lizards (cleverly disguised as human catalog models) in the 1980s TV series "V" came here to steal our water too — though they wanted it in part to wash down the meal they intended to make of us. In the more recent "Battle: Los Angeles," pillaging Earth's oceans was the only motivation we're given for why aliens were laying waste to humanity.
The first problem with this plot device is that it's pretty dumb. Hydrogen and oxygen are two of the most common elements in the universe. An alien race is savvy enough to master interstellar travel but too clueless to combine two Hs with one O to form H2O? C'mon.
At least in "Mars Needs Women," the precious resource in question — Earth girls — by definition can be found only here, just as "real" Champagne must come from the region that bears its name. And though I have no doubt that Earth women really are the best, the logic of evolution suggests that compatibility issues for aliens would be a hurdle not even Match.com could overcome.
In "To Serve Man," the famous "Twilight Zone" episode, the motivation was far more plausible: They wanted to eat us ("To Serve Man" — it's a cookbook!). And who knows — maybe we're delicious.
One rule of thumb in sci-fi is that the aliens are really us too. They reflect a good trait in humanity — think E.T., Spock or Mork — or a bad one. That's why writers recycle ancient human motives — the desire to plunder, colonize, rape, enslave — as the motives of futuristic aliens.
That's all fine. But science fiction is also supposed to raise ambitions for what humans can accomplish. And in that, Hollywood is failing.
For a while now, filmmakers have been churning out fare — like the horrendous remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" — based on the Malthusian assumption that resources are finite and if we keep going the way we are, the Earth will be "used up" (to borrow a phrase from the opening monologue of the canceled cult sensation "Firefly"). Either that or we'll be invaded by aliens who appreciate our stuff more than we do.
The pessimism is infectious. Physicist and sci-fi nerd Stephen Hawking recently argued that maybe we should hide from aliens lest they rob us blind. When Newt Gingrich proposed a base on the moon, everyone guffawed as if such an optimistic ambition was absurd. The obsession with "peak oil" and the need to embrace "renewables" because we're running out of fossil fuels is another symptom of our malaise. Fracking and other breakthroughs demonstrate that, at least so far, whatever energy scarcity we've had has been imposed by policy, not nature.
Which gets us back to outer space. In our neighborhood alone, there are thousands of asteroids with enormous riches — in gold, platinum, rare earth metals, etc. Planetary Resources Inc., an asteroid mining firm started last year by director James Cameron (ironic given the politics of his film "Avatar") and some Microsoft and Google billionaires, has its sights on several rocks worth anywhere from hundreds of billions to tens of trillions of dollars. And these are just the chunks scattered around our orbital backyard and near enough to exploit with existing technology. There are also plenty of balls of ice out there that might be convertible into fuel for further space exploration.
Thomas Malthus and his intellectual descendants saw humans as voracious consumers of finite resources, like a "virus" devouring its host, as Agent Smith says in "The Matrix." But humans are better understood as creators who've consistently solved the problems of scarcity by inventing or discovering new paths to abundance. As the late anti-Malthusian hero Julian Simon said, human imagination is the ultimate resource.
Unfortunately, that resource is dismayingly scarce these days, in Washington and Hollywood.

Thai govt searches for ways to pay rice farmers
Publication Date : 17-02-2014
Yingluck Shinawatra-led caretaker government struggles to fulfill promise to pay farmers money they are owed under the rice-pledging scheme
Over the past week, some of the methods Thailand's caretaker government is using to seek funds to pay the farmers what they are owed under the rice-pledging scheme have surfaced.
These ways are separate from the commerce ministry's accelerating sales of rice from the state's stocks, expected to reach almost 20 million tonnes.
First, a group of rice millers in Nakhon Ratchasima showed up with the intention to help farmers by taking out loans from banks for them. The banks would lend to the millers so that the millers could lend to the farmers. The millers would use their credit standing to back the loans from the banks while keeping the farmers' pledging receipts as collateral.
The farmers would receive some money, though this would be part of the total value of their pledging receipts; for example, 50,000 baht (US$1,546) out of 100,000 baht if they are extended loans at 50 per cent of the pledging receipt.
Second, millers are being offered loans to buy rice from the government. State-owned Krungthai Bank circulated a letter dated Wednesday saying it would extend credit to millers and packers interested in joining the commerce ministry's rice auction. The bank said this is a normal lending service.
Deputy Finance Minister Benja Louicharoen on Thursday said the ministry had come up with a conclusion on loans in an effort to pay the farmers. Part of the loans would come from the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC).
The finance ministry was also reportedly securing funds to pay unpaid farmers via the interbank market, in which the state-owned Government Savings Bank extends loans to the state-run BAAC. But the loan would be for 20 billion baht, much more than the usual 5 billion baht deal. The ministry then would issue a "letter of comfort" in confirmation that it would support the loan deal, a ministry source was cited as saying by Isranes Agency.
"The ministry expects to seek approval on this matter from the Cabinet meeting this week," the source said.
However, GSB president Worawit Chalimpamontri said on his Facebook page on Friday that he refused to lend to the BAAC for the rice-pledging scheme. He admitted that the bank had extended the loan to BAAC via the interbank market, but not for that purpose. The bank also hasn't received any letters of loan guarantees.
Former finance minister Thirachai Phuvanatnaranubala posted on his Facebook page on Friday that if the "comfort letter" was true, this meant the government is trying to avoid violating Article 181(3) of the Constitution. Under the law, a caretaker government is banned from creating any activities or transactions that could burden the next government unless the Election Commission (EC) gives it permission. But, the EC has declined to consider whether the government could obtain such loans as requested.
Normally, the finance ministry issues letters of guarantee to back loans made by state-run banks for the government's specific purposes.
"The letter of comfort is likely a letter for the government to show its intention to guarantee such a loan, which it cannot do now. When the government is out of being the caretaker, it will issue the letter of guarantee to back that loan," Thirachai cited in his page.
However, if the "comfort letter" is legally binding, the Cabinet might be accused of violating the law, Thirachai said. If it's not, claims for loan guarantee payments cannot be made. The blame might then be placed on the banks' boards of directors or those involved with the loan deals, instead of ministers.
Even though some of more than 1 million rice growers seem to enjoy a partial inflow of cash to ease their plight, that could happen in the short term. Considering the sales of rice from inventory, it would take some two years to earn as much as 130 billion baht. For those who cannot wait, they are likely to have a chance to face a "legal risk", however.

i LOVE this cocoa mix. being organic and low fat make it my favorite every winter. the only thing that could make it any better would be a lower price. i despise having to settle for the fake stuff when i can't splurge. so i end up making it less often to make it go further. :(

Drink between: 2008 - 2024 (Add My Dates)
This was excellent once again, noticed a black tea component this time that I missed on my previous tasting note.
Lovely perfume, the wine shows smoky plum, dried cedar, dark chocolate, currant leaf with a dark mineral core. Well built with lots of structure.
Soft, smooth and round, with ripe, sweet, plums, chocolate covered cherries and truffle notes coupled with a silky finish. What more could you ask for?
Cellared since release, perfect cork and fill, pop and pour, drunk over 4 hours. Dark red to rim, lush nose of dark fruits and cassis, earth and cedar/tobacco. Medium to full body, ripe fruit, earthy notes, excellent balance, mellow tannins, medium/long finish, should drink well for 10+ years, excellent.
Took to Smith and Wolensky
Paired with the Cajun ribeye. EXCELLENT!!!
No formal notes. Decanted for one hr, great nose with hints of coffee, cocoa and just unmistakable Bordeaux character. Full body, juicy, fine tannins, long finish. This wine has 5-10 more years ahead.

Calling on youth to save our planet
After the success of Earth Hour last Saturday, the obvious question for Canadians worried about climate change is: What next?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
And the obvious answer is: Look to our youth to lead the fight against this global challenge.
Nearly 10,000 people, most of them young, jammed Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday to show their support for Earth Hour, the 60-minute initiative led by the World Wildlife Fund to turn out lights and reduce power consumption. They also came for a free concert by Nelly Furtado, a huge supporter of Earth Hour.
And hundreds of thousands of other young people in the Greater Toronto Area and across Canada took part in school events, community marches and candlelight parties to celebrate Earth Hour.
True, skeptics were out in force too, smugly telling reporters or writing in their columns and blogs that Earth Hour was little more than a public relations campaign that did more harm than good.
But young people are not cynical or jaded like many adults. They believe they can truly make a difference – and they can.
One person who believes strongly in today's youth is Al Gore, the former U.S. vice-president who won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming.
Gore sees the path to saving our planet winding through American pop culture, which is aimed mainly at youth. And to speed that process, he is launching a new $300 million advertising campaign in the hope of influencing the outcome of the U.S. presidential race and, ultimately, to get top politicians to act on climate change.
It is being described as one of the most expensive public advocacy campaigns in U.S. history.
The campaign kicked off last night with a 30-second spot on American Idol, the most-watched program in the U.S. In the coming days, other ads will air on The Biggest Loser and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
The ads equate the climate-change movement with other major initiatives, such as banning racial segregation and putting a man on the moon. Future ads will feature bipartisan pairs, such as Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with former far-right Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Can you imagine former prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien appearing on the same TV spot in Canada?
Gore's campaign, dubbed "We," will also feature online organizing and partnerships with grassroots groups, including the 2.7 million strong Girl Scouts.
He is putting up his own money to fund most of the campaign, including his personal profits from the book and movie An Inconvenient Truth, as well as the $750,000 he received as his share of the Nobel Prize.
Gore fears U.S. politicians are too timid to make the cuts in human-generated emissions needed to reduce global warming. And so he wants to change public attitudes about climate change and to show elected officials that voters really do care about it. "When politicians hear the American people calling loud and clear for change, they'll listen," Gore said in a statement issued earlier this week.
Canadians have much to learn from Gore's new campaign. Most of our elected officials are as timid as their U.S. counterparts when it comes to climate change.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper talks very little about it, and last Saturday during Earth Hour his official residence in Ottawa was ablaze with lights.
For his part, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion started out strong when it came to global warming, but his recent record of backing almost every Harper initiative has sullied his image, including that of being a defender of the environment.
To regain that high ground, Dion should copy Gore and make climate change the centrepiece of his campaign platform. He should enlist young people, who are eager to join in this fight, to help spread the message that saving our planet is not a "liberal" or "left-wing" issue, but one that cuts across all parts of the political spectrum.
Bold steps are needed to combat climate change.
Turning out lights, either during Earth Hour or any hour is important, but as Gore says, it's much more important to change laws.
And doing just that starts with our youth.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South African singing sensation Lira says she will dedicate a Zulu love song to United States President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, when she performs at Monday's inaugural ball in Washington, D.C.
Lira says she is blown away by the invitation. She told South African talk show host Redi Tlhabi her career has "gone way beyond my wildest dreams ... I'm extremely excited, it blows my mind."
On Talk Show Radio 702 this week Lira promised to dedicate a song of her own composition called "Ngiyazifela" to America's first couple. "It talks about being so in love with one's partner and I think Michelle and Obama are such an inspiring couple, I just want to pay a tribute to that." Ngiyazifela is Zulu slang for being madly in love.

What's in your water?
When you think about your personal health and nutrition goals, what food or nutrients do you usually consider to be most important? Consider this: Our brains are made up of about 70% water, our bodies about 80%, surely water should be considered one of the most important things we put into our body on a daily basis. Each morning when you rise, you are already 2 cups dehydrated.
To enhance your daily protocol whatever it may be now, you can do one simple thing that will give you more energy, help you focus, and reduce cravings. Can you guess what that one thing is going to be? Upon waking, drink at least 2 cups of filtered alkaline water. We wake up about 2 cups dehydrated, so starting your day off with coffee or some other form of diuretic can lead to further dehydration throughout your day. Start with water first, then move on to something else if you wish.
Your Tap water is generally a mixture of chlorine, anti-biotics, hormones and other metals that will go straight into your system.
Impure water can cause a weakened immune system and an array of other illnesses that occur when the immune system is vulnerable. You're also in danger should anything contaminate the public water sources. I'm sure from time to time you've heard or read about the acid/alkaline balance that's so crucial to staying healthy. When our bodies are too acidic, we experience low energy, fatigue, digestive issues, weight gain and other side effects that are completely avoidable just by drinking pure water and eating fresh organic vegetables with a healthy acid/alkaline balance.
Use an alkaline water filtration system whenever possible. Alkaline filtration systems can be costly, ranging from 1-3k, however you are able to find personal alkaline wands at your local health food store for around $30. Ideally, fresh spring water is the absolute best water for you to drink. Find a Spring is a website that was created for the sole purpose of helping you find the closest springs near your area.
Alkaline water recipe:
- 1 pitcher (64 ounces) of clean filtered water
- 1 organic lemon, washed, cut into eighths
- 1 tsp Himalayan pinksSalt
If you don't have a filter, you become one. – David Wolfe

The comedy You Can't Take It with You opens on Nov. 19 at the Dorothy Hackett Ward on the UTC campus.
Review for You Can't Take It with You:
This Pulitzer prize-winning play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart is populated with memorably whimsical characters such as an under-talented, but unflappable ballerina, an accidental novelist, a tax-dodging patriarch, a Grand Duchess, who is also a waitress and a bevy of G-men.
The relatively "normal" Alice (played by Kristina Lumm) brings her fiancé Tony (played by Austin Blackburn) and his straight-laced family to meet her eccentric family. Comedy ensues as personalities clash in a whirl of anarchistic candy, homemade fireworks and permanent visitors. The play is a tribute to America's optimistic spirit while commenting on the perils of materialism.
This great American comedy "deals with ideas of expectation," says director Gaye Jeffers. "I think it challenges our notion of the American dream in a comedic, quirky fashion."
Steve Ray, head of UTC's Department of Theatre and Speech, says, "We are really excited that our students are honing their comic skills on this classic play. It's so much fun. I also think it has something important to say about holding on to what is best while celebrating the potential for change."
The play, sponsored by the First Tennessee Foundation, runs from Nov. 19-23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. with a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors and $12 general admission. Tickets are available at the UTC Box Office in the Fine Arts Center 425-4269 or online at tickettracks.com.

IPL 7 in South Africa?
Zee Media Bureau
New Delhi: It is safe to presume that the seventh edition of Indian Premier League will be held in South Africa. Like the second edition, this time too, the super-rich cricket league will coincide with India`s General Election.
The IPL governing council had already finalised April 9 to June 3 as the window for the double-round robin tournament, which will last a full eight week. And the 2014 General Elections will be conducted in multiple phases, from April 16 to May 13. In 2009, the IPL had been shifted to the Rainbow Nation to avoid security concerns posed by general elections of the world`s second most populated nation.
South Africa, having already hosted the high-profile tournament once, will be a preferred venue for many reasons. Other options in the form of Sri Lanka, Abu Dhabi and Dubai were believed to be considered. However, any of these venues cannot match the logistical advantages which South Africa would provide. Besides the 2009 edition of IPL, the country has a track record of successfully hosting mega sporting events, like the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
However, IPL chairman Ranjib Biswal has stated that the final decision will be taken only after the meeting with the Home Ministry officials and the Home Minister, Sushil Kumar Shinde. Even if a decision is made to held the tournament in another country, we want to hold the maximum of the matches in India, added Biswal.

Missouri Tigers: Add Experienced Coach, Rick Carter to Basketball Staff
The Missouri Tigers will not only start the 2012 – 2013 season with a non conference, but they will also start with a new face on their coaching staff. Rick Carter may be new to the Tigers Hoops staff, but he is not a newcomer to the world of college basketball.
Carter comes to the Tigers from Western Michigan University. He spent the last four seasons in Michigan, and had great relations with many Michigan High School and AAU coaches. Carter is a 2002 graduate of Michigan State, he then got on staff with Coach Tom Izzo as a graduate assistant. He was with the Spartans from 2003-2006, and did many tasks such as scouting operations, practice planning and academic support. When the Spartans went to the Final Four in 2005, Carter was on staff.
Head Coach Frank Haith had this to say about his new hiring: "I am excited to welcome Coach Carter into our basketball family, Rick is a talented coach and a relentless recruiter. He has a great basketball background working for Steve Hawkins at Western Michigan, Ed Cooley at Fairfield and of course Tom Izzo at Michigan State and he has connections to a couple members of our staff, so I really liked the instant fit."
When asked about his addition onto Coach Haith's staff, Coach Carter had these statements to say: "I'm so excited to join Coach Haith's program here at Missouri, the history and tradition at Mizzou makes this one of the best jobs in America and of course I know all about the great players from the state of Michigan that had standout careers as Tigers, including Doug Smith, whose number is retired here. I want to thank Coach Haith and the administration for this opportunity and I want to thank everyone atWestern Michigan for the four great years in Kalamazoo."
Carter began his coaching career back in 2000, as the head coach of the Michigan Mustangs. The team was a AAU power, which helped bring such players as David Kool and Michael Redell to Western Michigan. While Carter was at Western Michigan, the Broncos won two MAC West titles, and are coming off a 21-13 season a year ago.
This appears to be a great lift for the Tigers. Sure, most assistants will have good looking resumes', but Carter appears to be one of the up and coming talented coaches across the country. Coach Frank Haith does a great job as the head man in Columbia, and now has yet another talented assistant to sit on his bench with him.

Professional Male Voice Talent
United States - Last active: 16 days ago - Tests: 1 - Portfolio: 2
It all started on a warm September day in 1999. Fresh out of college, a college classmate of mine was technical recruiting for CDI for IBM. My job was to dial up customers who were expecting a technician to come and fix their beloved computer. It didn't take long to get good at what I did, heck great! Within 90 days, I was the top performer on my team. Within another 90 days, I was team lead. It was easy. I was a problem solver, and on top of that, I had told I had a great voice. After I had been given the responsibility of managing three contracts at IBM, and there was no more room for me to grow, a college classmate of mine rang me up to tell me Earthlink was hiring for inside sales positions. I took to it like a fish to water. I love people. I love selling. I love talking. What more could I want? After finishing in the top 5% of solution consultants, and pulling down an Employee of the Month Award, I looked for greener pastures in outbound sales for high speed customers. My understanding of the customer was growing. My understanding of the client was growing. I found my niche. After the Earthlink layoff in March 2004, nine months of personal development landed me a lucrative position, afforded me by my Earthlink sales supervisor, at Secureworks. Although my stay was only five months, I learned more at this position, than in my 5 years in corporate America. Cold calling C-level, VP-level, and Director level clients from day one, over 4 separate verticals: banks, credit unions, utilities, and medical practices. This was the fast track on how to relate to people from all walks of life. This was the final piece in creating the professional voice actor you have before you today! These three positions are why I know how to turn your project into profit! And I am worth every red cent!

Efficient, professional, friendly service is the core of my freelancing business; exceptional graphic design and distinctive written content both come as standard. I treat my clients with care because I value them; I operate my business in a morally and ethically sound way because I believe that by doing so, I can make a positive difference in the lives of others. My regular clients include Maîtres du Temps, Pinehearst Digital, and Flatpack Interactive as well as a variety of corporate customers. I also work with several publications, including the Atlanta-based Date Night Magazine. A number of graphics projects are featured in my portfolio here on oDesk: please visit my site ( www.VioletScribe.com ) to view additional samples. >›Writing Services‹< My freelancing workload is divided almost equally between graphics and writing projects: I appreciate the balance. I also enjoy thematic diversity and regularly write articles about a variety of subjects, which include the following: • Industry: Small business management, legal matters, accounting, manufacturing, international commerce, the domestic economy, the global economy • Psychology and Psychiatry: General mental illness, talk therapy, drug therapy, DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, specific conditions (e.g. bipolar disorders (I and II), depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders), drug trials, experimental analyses, substance abuse • Biology: Animal habitats, animal behavior, climate change, fish husbandry, reptiles and amphibians, evolution and species development • General Science: Experimental data analysis, human subject studies, disease research, vaccine development • Graphics and Art: Graphic design, Adobe tutorials (Illustrator and Photoshop in particular), fine art, art history, world art • Technology: Technological development, innovation, laser devices, robotics, artificial intelligence • Retail: Product development, product descriptions, category descriptions, buyer's guides Other topics have included natural medicine, architecture, furniture design, interior design, mechanical components, and real estate. Like most other creative individuals, I am naturally curious and relish the opportunity to conduct research. If I can, I take raw data from original, unbiased studies and form opinions based on my own interpretation, rather than drawing from secondary sources. When these are not available, I back up my research by examining topics from almost all conceivable angles. For written projects, I use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel and Access on a regular basis. I am also very familiar with Google Drive and frequently use the service to manage projects effectively and to deliver text-based content to clients. >›Graphics Work‹< I have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription: consequently, the graphics I produce are made with Adobe CS6 programs, which are regularly updated to reflect the company's latest changes. Currently, I run Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Acrobat Pro, Muse, Edge Reflow, and Edge Animate. Available graphics services include the following: • Vector Logos: Created in Adobe Illustrator; can be scaled to any size without quality loss • Web design: From Web 2.0 to boutique-style site concepts—and everything in between • Retouching and Postproduction: Digital image manipulation and refinement, photographic print restoration, object removal or reshaping, color/exposure/detail adjustment—and more • Print design: Business cards, letterheads, brochures, magazines, trade show graphics, posters—and more I have collaborated with printers in Europe, Asia, Australia, and America: printers' mark/bleed specifications and paper sizes often vary by region and by publisher. Happily, I can easily accommodate all of these variables as I work on your design. >›Voice Work‹< In 2009, I provided the voice of the narrator for The Learning Station's "The Book about Tony Chestnut." The book and its accompanying soundtrack CD received six awards in 2010: the Tillywig Top Fun Award, the Dr. Toy Best Vacation Products award, the iParenting Media Award, the Mom's Choice Gold Award and the Creative Child 2010 Media of the Year Award. It won first place in the Reader Views Literary Award Winners "Children — Toddler to 5" section. More information about The Book About Tony Chestnut can be found at www.TonyChestnut.com.
