Who is Christopher Farcher
Currently I am residing in the state of New York and I have recently finished many years of long tedious college. I went to college in New York to get my bachelors degree in Physical Education & then decided to further my education & I received my Masters Degree in Health Education as well. Throughout my college career I made a solid income with the combination of online work & substitute teaching. Now that I have my degree's I still occassionally work as a part-time sub but mainly my revenue comes from my online work.
My Online Career: I started working online in the year 2007 when I was looking for an additional income stream that I could add to substitute teaching while I was finishing college. The various programs that I came across were actually quite terrible. I was joining sites that allowed you open surveys, emails, watch videos or even do daily tasks for other advitisers to gain some money. The problem with these sites was they rarely gave you enough work to cash out and really you could only earn a few bucks a day at most. To be honest I was quite discouraged and had the attitude that all work online was a scam or that it just wasn't possible to bring in real money from home that way. At my ends rope I actually came across an email from another marketer promoting an affiliate company. I decided to take a look and was highly impressed. The company was called Acme People Search & it was attached to a business Global Domains International. At this point my new passion and hunger for learning developed & I took a huge step into the world of making money online.
Acme/GDI Experience: This was probably the most exciting and interesting experience that ever happened to me because I became so passionate about learning and understanding how to make money online. The honest truth is between college I stopped subbing and started working more than 14 hours a day trying to understand how to market on the internet. My friends and family thought I was crazy, but I honestly didn't mind putting in the time because I enjoyed what I was doing and wanted to reach that dream of becoming a successful internet marketer. The team I was working with was extremly smart & it opened my eyes to so many things that are possible. I learned how use automation tools, search engine optimazition, building a list, free marketing, paid advertising and basically how to dominate social media. Now with all this hard work and learning, sadly I wasn't seeing the return in funds. Every week I would reach the "LeaderBoard" with GDI and bring in a bunch of affiliates to Acme People Search but that only scrapped me a few hundred bucks for the week, while I was putting in over 50 hours a week at least. My team climbed to over a thousand members & it was exciting to think that every month I was going to receive $1000.00 in residual income from all my hardwork.
The Sad Truth
As my team climbed into the thousand mark I started to see a terrible trend. The people joining my team couldn't duplicate what I was doing. They either couldn't comprehend all the knowledge that I learned and techniques that I was using or they simply didn't have the time to put into the business like I did. With people not building a team of their own, they weren't making money & were quitting. My team of a thousand was constantly dropping faster than I could build it. I asked my friend about this situation and his team of over three thousand was having the same problems at twice the speed. This was heart breaking news to me. I wasted almost a year of sitting infront of the computer putting in so many hours of hard dedicated work so that I could be a self made millionair from online marketing. It was at this point that I decided to stop Affiliate Marketing & was going to focus back on the real world and a "real" job.
Two Year Break: I was almost disgusted with the internet that I couldn't even look at it. At this point I received my bachelors degree & put two more years into my Masters Degree so I could find a teaching job when I was all done. As the time went by I was receiving some small checks from Global Domains International from the work I had put in those many years again but the funds were between $100 and $50 at this point. College was nearing it's end and I decided it was time to really live life. I wasted a lot of money and time having fun and just not doing much of anything. Once my funds were almost up I knew it was time to get a jobs and to start looking for a career in teaching. Unexpectadly my girlfriend got pregnant and a trigger went off in my brain that said, "I need to support my family". It was at this point that I decided to open up my laptop and dive back into old things.
Real Income
I can't explain it but since I was older and worrying about being able to support my new son when he would arrive I wasn't really into learning but more into Making Money. First I joined a website that was educational based. It was a tutoring website that allowed me to make fast money and actually a lot of it. I worked on their for almost a year. With all of my past experiences and information that I had learned from that one affiliate program in 2007, I came up with a way to make fast direct sales on this site but also a REAL RESIDUAL INCOME through my expertise in online marketing. Most of the tutors on that site simply answered a question and got paid. I would specifically target keywords and get my products ranked on the search engines because I knew if one student needed help in this area other students would be looking. At one point I had put up over 5000 products that were selling daily and I was making a $50 to $75 a day residual income. Truly I couldn't believe it because I went from spending so much time and energy on an affiliate program making penny's to the dollar to pulling in almost $30,000.00 a year on auto-pilot with an additional $25,000.00 from direct sales. As the year almost ended the site i was working on started to change some rules & started to see my income decrease . I quickly decided that I needed to learn how to build my own websites and become more of a professional & my own business person rather than work for someone else.
WordPress Websites: At this point in my life things were actually going great. My girlfriend was about ten months pregnant, I had my bachelors and masters degree & I was making a solid income from the website I was working on as a tutor/affiliate. Since I noticed changes coming about I wanted to take what I was doing and to build my own sites so I could receive 100% of my sales. As much as I was making on the other site, they were taking 20 to 40 % of all my work which in my eyes was CRAZY. So I got into wordpress & started talking with some of my old affiliate partners. They really helped me learn how to properly set a website up, purchase the correct domains and what to add to the wordpress site to make it fully optimizable for the Search Engines.
It took me about two full months to really build my own first two websites but I am so happy that I decided to do that. Knowing how to build your own site and to connect it with PayPal or a shopping cart to make sales is so rewarding. My two websites took off and I was making almost $50 to $70 a day. This was so much more rewarding because I knew these were my products, my website & no changes ever had to be made because I was the "BOSS".
The Path I'm On Now 2012
So now I make a nice income from the first affiliate website I was on and my own websites have thousands of products on them as well which sell daily for me. Within the year I have built many mini-sites based around similair niches and sell products consistently on them as well. Occasionally I get out in the world to substitute teach just to make a quick $100 for the day and to maybe find a full-time job to add into this revenue. When people say can you really make a full-time income online the answer is yes….you just have to find the right place.
From my experiences affiliate marketing never works out. Most companies have amazing compensation plans, tools, techniques, coaching, training, you name it but it always comes down to people doing hard work to find more people & then hoping those people can duplicate what you do. Ninety percent of the time unfortunately this won't happen, so even the best internet marketers around the world rarely pull in over $30,000.00 a year and with the amount of time spent, trust me working from home is NO LUXURY.
Now I am not 100 % bashing affiliate marketing because to be honest with you about three weeks ago I actually came across a company that is amazing. I joined after two days of hard research & am extremly happy with my deciscion. This business is like most with a great compensation plan, tools, matrix to build a team with but what set's them a part is they give people the opportunity to earn daily cash rewards from a profit sharing pool. WOAH…What? Yeah it sounds confusing but trust me it is so easy that you actually post 1 ad a day & can earn from this pool. I am bringing in yet another stream of income from this now and in the next year can't wait to see where this thing goes.
My Closing & Goals
I am highly dedicated to helping people understand how to make money online. You can use the contact form above or reach me at email@example.com. You can also contact me on skype at FARSHAY1. It's important for people to have a good leader and I think I am one of the best candidates out their. I have been through just about everything and yet I came out on top. My skills and strategies are quite good and I know what business you should and should not be involved with.
- Teach people how to understand how to market online.
- Explain the power of blogs and ranking on Google / Search Engines.
- Showing people how to make $50 a day at least so they can have that second income for their families.

West Seattle Weather Watch: A bit of snowJanuary 10, 2013 at 9:52 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle weather | 9 Comments
9:52 AM: We're getting widespread reports of light snow – and we're seeing it here in Upper Fauntleroy, too. The "special weather statement" from the National Weather Service early this morning had continued to warn of possible "spotty lowland snow." Seems to be moving north to south at the moment – we heard from Delridge and The Junction before seeing flakes here.
10:09 AM: "Spotty" may be just the right term. We have only had flurries, and there's a big patch of blue sky headed this way.

It's reached the Duwamish Valley, we live near 5000 W. Marginal Way, and it just started snowing a few minutes ago. Our chickens have retreated to their coop. They must think the sky is falling!

Constant small flakes at the top of the Columbia Tower (for the last two hours). I realize I'm pretty high up, but I can barely see Admiral/Alki.

Etiquette is a touchy subject. Mom told you not to point your finger at people, put your napkin in your lap, and chew with your mouth closed, among other bits of advice.
Cultures have different sets of etiquette (the French don't cut their bread, they rip it, for instance) and you're bound to make an inappropriate gesture or say something wrong if you're not careful.
Japan is no exception. If you're visiting there soon--and you should, the end of August is a great time to see the changing leaves--there are some things you should know first.
Lonely Planet put together a list of starting tips for impressing the locals with your cultural know-how. Captions courtesy of Lonely Planet.
Do not stick your hashi (chopsticks) upright in a bowl of rice. This is how rice is offered to the dead in Buddhist rituals. Similarly, do not pass food from your chopsticks to another's chopsticks. This is another funereal ritual.
When eating with other people, especially when you're a guest, it is polite to say 'itadakimasu' (literally, 'I will receive') before digging in. This is as close as the Japanese come to saying grace. Similarly, at the end of the meal, you should thank your host by saying 'gochiso-sama deshita', which means 'It was a real feast'.
It is bad form to fill your own glass. You should fill the glass of the person next to you and wait for them to reciprocate. Raise your glass a little off the table while it is being filled. Once everyone's glass has been filled, the usual starting signal is a chorus of 'kampai', which means 'cheers!'
When you eat noodles in Japan, it's perfectly OK, even expected, to slurp them. In fact, one of the best ways to find ramen restaurants in Japan is to listen for the loud slurping sound that comes out of them.
Take your shoes off when entering a private home or anywhere with a tatami floor. Sometimes slippers are provided, with a separate set for the toilet.
In a shop, instead of handing cash to the assistant, place your money on the small tray they keep next to the till.
Entering a shrine can be a bewildering experience. Just past the gate you'll find a chozuya (trough of water) with a hishaku (long-handed ladle) to purify yourself. Take a ladle, fill it with water, pour some over one hand, then transfer the spoon and pour water over the other hand. Finally, pour water into your cupped hand and rinse your mouth, spitting the water onto the ground.
Bathing at an onsen (hot spring) or sento (public bath) is a quintessentially Japanese experience. Baths are separated by gender, and the changing room will have baskets or lockers for storing clothes and a bath towel. Bring a washcloth and toiletries with you into the bathing area (soap and shampoo are often provided). There will be a row of taps along one wall. Find an empty spot and scrub yourself down. Once you're clean, rinse completely before going anywhere near the baths. The communal baths are meant for soaking and shouldn't be adulterated by soap, or – shock horror – dirt.

How Do Non Profits Work?
A nonprofit organization is defined as an business that has been incorporated and recognized under the laws of its state, and as a business that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has classified as a 501(c)(3), determined to be a public charity. The government term "501(c)(3)" enables businesses to operate under tax exempt laws with the idea that profits and revenue are shared with those that the organization seeks to serve.
The term nonprofit is often used interchangeably with other names such as third sector, independent sector, voluntary sector, philanthropic sector, social sector, tax-exempt sector, or the charitable sector. Non profits serve a variety of purposes, from maintaining local parks and youth advocacy to public radio programs and immigration assistance. Essentially, non profits benefit society by implementing programs to assit communities with types of services that the government institutions feel necessary for the well being of society. In doing so, non profit agencies relieve the governments burden in exchange for funding and special tax provisions. The partnership between a nonprofit organization and government practices are mutually advantageous and ultimately benefit the cause, programs and individuals in which they support.
Aside from the typical employee structure that most organizations are made up of, a non profit's business structure includes a team of advisors, referred to as the Board of Directors. A Board of Directors panel typically consists of individuals who are not employed or paid by the company but have joined others to ensure the credibility and accountability of the organization, Actively involved Board members often feel a sense of responsibility to the organization in which they serve and make certain that the companies mission statement is being carried out.

8 Strategies for Minimising Small Business Tax
Small businesses form a valuable part of the Australian economy and the Australian government provides a range of tax incentives and exemptions to encourage small business owners. When tax time comes, great records, knowing about your allowable deductions, and obtaining professional advice can all help to significantly reduce your small business tax liability. These are eight easy strategies to consider.
1. Review Your Business Structure
Your business structure can significantly boost your ability to legally reduce your tax liability, whether it's a sole trader, unit trust, company, partnership, or any other business vehicle. An accountant with expertise in small business accounting in Sydney or elsewhere in Australia may be able to save you thousands or more in tax every year.
For example, you may be able to split business or investment income between family members or friends to reduce the overall tax paid. You may also be able to make use of CGT concessions in the event of a future sale.
2. Use Business Concessions
All businesses are eligible for a range of concessions, with some concessions specific to small businesses which have a turnover of less than $2 million. These 'small business entity concessions' can cover income tax, capital gains, and other areas that significantly reduce your business's tax liability.
Accountants in Sydney and elsewhere are qualified to provide advice on an effective tax reduction strategy by helping you make use of specific business concessions.
3. Maintain Accurate Records
It almost goes without saying that the maintenance of accurate bookkeeping records complement any tax reduction strategy. Correct, accurate, and up-to-date financial records facilitate good business management. They allow you to have a better picture of your business's financial status, helping you make more effective decisions.
As time is an essential feature of cash flow and tax compliance, accurate and up-to-date records also assist with timely tax planning and deployment of reduction strategies.
4. Invest in Your Business
If you're looking to grow your business, it's useful to remember that expenditure in assets, marketing, new equipment, and other investments are all tax effective. While tax shouldn't be the sole reason for making an investment, it can inform every investing decision you make, so that you're aware of how tax advantages can impact investment viability before you make the decision.
5. Check Staff Bonus Payments
Bonuses to staff should be paid before the end of the financial year to allow for a deduction that year. For planning purposes for the next year, you may find it useful to arrange for future bonuses to be paid within the year to maximise deductions.
6. Maximise Super Contributions
Superannuation contributions are, of course, tax deductible for your business. As these contributions are tax concessionally within the superannuation fund, it makes strong sense to maximise contributions. Check the current superannuation contribution limits ($50,000 for most people, or $100,000 for those aged over 50).
7. Dispose of Fixed Assets
If your business has fixed assets that can't be used anymore, it's a good idea to claim a deduction for the written-down value and scrap the item. Business need to write-off the item on or before the last date of the financial year to claim.
8. Delay Income and Bring Expenses Forward
Where possible, delay your income and pay expenses to maximise your tax deductions for this year rather than waiting until the end of the next financial year to benefit from the deduction.

On April 13, 1999 (letter dated April 12, 1999), a complaint was filed with the Department of Public Instruction by XXXXX against the Milwaukee Public School District. This complaint alleges a violation of special education law regarding the implementation of programs for children with disabilities.
Pursuant to 34 CFR 300.660-662 of the regulations implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and ss. 115.762(3)(g) and 115.90(1), Wis. Stats., the Department of Public Instruction investigated this complaint. In investigating a complaint, the department reviews a district's compliance with state and federal requirements. During this investigation, department staff reviewed written materials provided by the complainant and the district and educational records. In addition, department staff interviewed the assistant principal, special education supervisor, two special education teachers, the parent, and the advocate by telephone.
Wisconsin Statutes, Section 115.78
Individualized education program team; timeline.
* * *
(1m) APPOINTMENT OF TEAM. The local educational agency shall appoint an individualized education program team for each child referred to it under s. 115.777. Each team shall consist of all of the following:
* * *
(d) A representative of the local educational agency who is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of, special education, is knowledgeable about the general curriculum and is knowledgeable about and authorized to commit the available resources of the local educational agency.
* * *
(2) DUTIES OF TEAM. The individualized education program team shall do all of the following:
* * *
(6) Develop an individualized education program for the child under s. 115.787.
* * *
34 CFR 300, Appendix C, Question 13
13. Who can serve as the representative of the public agency at an IEP meeting?
The representative of the public agency could be any member of the school staff, other than the child's teacher, who is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of, specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities¿.Thus, the agency representative could be (1) a qualified special education administrator, supervisor, or teacher (including a speech-language pathologist), or (2) a school principal or other administrator - if the person is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of, special education.
Each State or local agency may determine which specific staff member will serve as the agency representative. However, the representative should be able to ensure that whatever services are set out in the IEP will actually be provided and that the IEP will not be vetoed at a higher administrative level within the agency. Thus, the person selected should have the authority to commit agency resources (i.e., to make decisions about the specific special education and related services that the agency will provide to a particular child).
* * *
Letter from the Department of Public Instruction, August 5, 1996
* * *
The law requires that a representative of the board (local education agency or LEA representative), other than the child's teacher, participate in each meeting held to develop a child's IEP. The department discussed procedural requirements relating to the development of IEPs, including the participation of an LEA representative, Exceptional Education/Pupil Services Update Bulletin 91.7, issued in May 1991. The bulletin states:
The representative of the local education agency (LEA) can be anyone of several people. Whoever the individual is, he or she must have the authority to commit agency resources, because the IEP is a commitment of resources by the district.
* * *
The child whose education is the subject of this investigation continues to be eligible for special education and related services because of a severe emotional disturbance (ED). The child is a resident of Milwaukee Public Schools. During the 1998-99 school year, the child attended Sholes Middle School.
On February 25, 1999, at 10:00 a.m., the district held a meeting regarding the student. The assistant principal, a special education teacher supervisor, two special education teachers, the mother, the student, and an advocate for the student attended the meeting.
The advocate and the parent believe the meeting was an IEP team meeting. The mother states it was an IEP team meeting because she asked the special education teacher to arrange an IEP team meeting, they discussed several dates, and the teacher called the mother with a meeting date a few days later.
The special education teacher, whom the mother states was responsible for setting up the meeting, states he did not arrange the meeting. The district did not send a notice of a February 25, 1999, IEP team meeting to the child's mother. The district met with the mother on February 25, 1999, to discuss the prior suspensions of the student, police involvement in the student's behavioral incident, and parent/school communication issues.
During the meeting, the attendees discussed the communication between the district and the parent in situations needing police intervention. Also during the meeting, the advocate questioned the appropriateness of the IEP in effect on February 25, 1999. The advocate, parent, teacher, and assistant principal agreed to gather additional information regarding academic functions and schedule an IEP meeting. The attendees did not alter the child's IEP or educational placement at the February 25, 1999, meeting.
The district held an IEP team meeting on April 29, 1999. An LEA representative attended the meeting.
State and federal special education law requires that a representative of the school district, other than the child's teacher, who is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of special education, participate in IEP team meetings. The district representative must be able to ensure that whatever services are set out in the IEP will actually be provided.
Here, the meeting held on February 25, 1999, was not an IEP team meeting. The district did not send the parent an invitation and the participants changed neither the educational placement nor the provision of FAPE. Thus, an LEA representative was not required to participate at the meeting. There is no violation.
This concludes our investigation of this complaint, and we are closing this complaint investigation. This letter is not intended, and should not be construed, to cover any other issues regarding compliance with the IDEA or Chapter 115, Wisconsin Statutes, which may exist and which are not specifically discussed herein. Under the Wisconsin public records law, ss. 19.31-19.39, Wisconsin Statutes, it may be necessary to release this document and related correspondence and records upon request.

NSMB2 is on the infographic because it was the first downloadable title on the 3DS. Kingdom Hearts is on this to show 3rd Party support . Street fighter was added to show, hey the launch wasn't a complete fail. No but seriously, why isnt 3D Land here? (IMO Kid Icarus wasn't that great).

I felt that PM:SS is good on 1, it had very good colors and sounds. I felt very good when I was playing it, NSMB2 shouldn't have been 2nd, instead been replaced with Kingdom Hearts or Resident Evil. Kid Icarus is in the correct place, it did have high replay value, stunning multiplayer, but your hands got easily stressed from repeated button mashing. Also, Kid Icarus's voice got a little annoying at times. Now I understand why Mario and all the other Nintendo characters only say a few words a game

Bowie: The golden oldie returns
Last updated at 13:54, Thursday, 10 January 2013
So David Bowie is back. To celebrate his 66th birthday, he has released a new single and we are promised an album will follow.
It's a belated Christmas present for us fans – and long-awaited as his last release was a decade ago.
Typically, the new track Where Are We Now? was released without hype, warning of any pre-publicity at 5am UK time on iTunes on Tuesday morning.
The new album The Next Day will be available from March.
For me, Bowie has been the biggest and best influence on music since Elvis. He's streets ahead of the Rolling Stones and The Beatles.
If it wasn't for his imagination and willingness to experiment in his music, and his looks, we'd still be in a monochrome world of fashion and music.
And his comments on society and sexuality provoked a whole new approach to life in the grim and restrictive 1970s.
This was all his own making remember, it was not some grand scheme by his manager or his record company to mould him into some strange creature.
I'm not completely uncritical of the man. It's true that his duet with Bing Crosby for The Little Drummer Boy was bonkers, embarrassing for both and sounded dreadful.
And after the shock and awe of his drum'n'bass number Little Wonder, he's done little to shout about.
The new single reveals a more fragile voice but it is a haunting 'grower' of a track, a graceful, fragile, reflective and introspective work that proves he still has the ability to craft a proper, original pop song at a time when so much music is mathematically produced and computer-generated product.
I'm really looking forward to his album and hopefully a live tour – a much more exciting prospect than the Rolling Stones doddering about on yet another 'final' cash-in at various stadiums.
Could he be the big name for Glasto this year?

Officials at the Salud Para La Gente Elderday adult day health care center in Santa Cruz say they are developing a plan to avoid closure when the new state budget eliminates Medi-Cal payments to the center on Dec. 1. Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program. Medi-Cal payments to Elderday, which totaled about $2.2 million last fiscal year, represent about 90% of the center's funding. An Elderday spokesperson said the plan to avoid closure likely would involve scaled-back services and financing through fees and grants.

Lower Southampton Township police, who said in police reports and court documents that they deal with Dean Norman Smith, 54, on a "daily basis" for alcohol-related issues, found him still smoking a cigarette when crews responded to a fire Sunday.
"Smith appeared oblivious to the smoke condition inside the home," a police report said—even though a Bucks County 911 operator had encouraged Smith to help his mother get out of the home. The woman is in her 80s, deaf and uses a walker.
When police asked Smith if he tried to help his mother get out of her bedroom, which was one floor beneath his upstairs bedroom where the fire began, "Smith chuckled, and said, 'No, why would I do that? The fire is upstairs.'"
Online court records don't list an attorney for Smith, who was taken to Lower Bucks Hospital for unspecified treatment. His condition could not immediately be determined Friday.
Police found several cigarette burns on the carpets, clothing and bed clothes in Smith's bedroom, and said Smith acknowledged Sunday's fire might have started with a discarded cigarette, though Smith told police he couldn't be sure because he had "blacked out" from drinking vodka.
Smith's blood-alcohol level was 0.
Firefighters were able to quickly put out the burning tissues and papers on the floor next to Smith's bed. The room was otherwise littered with vodka and medication bottles, ash trays, dog feces and trash.
A police incident report states nothing officers have done has convinced Smith that he endangers his mother "when he drinks to the point he passes out with lit cigarettes."
He faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 14 on charges of reckless endangerment and risking a catastrophe.

Not Really a Recipe-Baked Chicken Edition
Erin | Feb 03, 2010 | Comments 3
We eat a lot of poultry. I've mentioned before my fear of sprouting feathers and clucking.
There was recently a Twitter discussion about eating chicken-and Sandra of the Gluten Free Optimist (aka Maryland Celiac) mentioned her need for more ideas for baked chicken. And a dislike of Italian Dressing, BBQ, sour cream, and mushrooms. (Did I get them all? I hope so!)
So consider this the baked-chicken-with-none-of-those-ingredients "not really a recipe."
When it comes to baking (or roasting) chicken, there are 3 basic methods I use. The first is marinades, the second rubs, and the third just seasoning prior to tossing them in the oven. I generally use boneless skinless chicken breast, as I enjoy the lean protein and ease. I am also very fortunate to have a local market where I can get boneless skinless chicken breasts in a family pack size for $1.49/lb. You could of course always use skinless boneless chicken thighs as well, and I have a suggestion for bone-in and skin on chicken breast at the end of this post.
Marinades are time intensive, but not labor intensive. It does require a bit of pre-planning to allow to meat enough time to sit in the marinade, get tenderized and absorb all that flavor. Allow at least an hour to marinade, several hours would be better. I have even (accidentally) allowed chicken to marinade for almost 24 hours, and it was OK. I would not recommend that though, as the chicken can get very mushy and kind of gross as the acids in the marinade break it down more than you want it to. I tend to use zip-top plastic bags to make the marinade, then add the chicken and squish it all around so it is evenly distributed. Toss it back in the fridge and let it do it's thing!
Ideas for marinades:
(For all of these, you can add about 1/4 cup of olive or canola oil to the below combinations)
-Lemon or lime juice, fresh peeled and cracked garlic cloves, cracked black pepper, sea salt
-Red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt
-Apple cider vinegar, fresh chopped garlic, sea salt
You get the basic idea. You want something acidic (citrus juice, vinegar), some herbs/spices, and then a bit of oil. The only vinegar I don't use with chicken is regular balsamic-because it makes the chicken an unappealing brown color. (although it tastes great.) I have used white balsamic which is very tasty. You can see that you can mix and match these to fit whatever you have on hand. If you have fresh herbs you can use those also. My favorite is lemon juice, garlic, salt/pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary and thyme. Very often I don't have rosemary and thyme fresh, so I'll use dried.
Rubs are exactly as it sounds-a spice mixture that you rub onto the chicken and let it infuse flavor. You can take any of
the ingredients you would use in a marinade (just use a tiny bit of the acid and the oil-just enough to make a paste) and chop/process the solids very small, and use that as a rub. If you can, allow these to sit about 10-15 minutes prior to cooking. Not as time intensive as a marinade.
Other ideas for rubs:
-Cumin, cayenne, and 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (these are found canned, usually in the ethnic food section-a great smoky flavor)
-Cinnamon and cayenne. Sounds bizarre, I know-but it's really, really good. You can also add a tiny bit of brown sugar.
-Onion and garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper
-Tarragon, garlic, lemon zest
Easy seasonings:
This is the simplest-just pull out the jar/can, sprinkle, flip, sprinkle, and put into the oven. Here are a few I like:
(Remember-always check labels for hidden gluten in case a manufacturer changes their formula.)
-Crazy Jane's Mixed Up Salt
-Lemon pepper
-Lime pepper
-Creole seasoning
-Greek seasoning
-Old Bay
-Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce-not quite a seasoning, but just as easy. Cover the chicken with sauce before cooking-viola! Healthier not-wings
If you are using skin-on versions, just make a slit in the skin, and put the rub mixture/seasonings inside the skin as well as on the outside. Really rub it in well, and make sure to cover as much surface area as you can. It gives a really nice flavor.

Thanks Erin for doing a blog post for me! So sweet! Great ideas! I love Old Bay. When you are cooking boneless skinless breasts, what temperature do you find it is best to cook at and for how long? I don't have much luck following the instructions on the package – it ususally isn't tender enough if I just add Old Bay and I never take the time to pound them -I just try to buy breasts that look thinner.
Thank you Erin for the great ideas for chicken. I tried the cinnamon and cayenne rub with a tiny bit of brown sugar for my lunches this week. I paired it with roasted parsnips, leeks, carrots and sweet potatoes seasoned with nutmeg. It was a perfect combination.

The Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) will stop in Orlando on Nov. 9 through Nov. 10. / FSView file photo
Insomniac Events gives electronic music lovers one more thing to be thankful for this November. For the second consecutive year, the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) will stop at Orlandos Tinker Field on Friday, Nov. 9 through Saturday Nov. 10.
What makes EDC such a successful event is its impressively diverse lineup of artists and the festivals keen attention to every detail of the attendees experience. The two-day event promises a heavy dose of bass with dubstep artists like Bassnectar, Borgore, Crizzly and Porter Robinsonall of which are no strangers to Tallahasseebut headliners and dance music gods, Tiesto, Armin Van Buren, Afrojack and Richie Hawtin are a perfect balance, as are Morgan Page and Cosmic Gate. Also on the lineup is Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, the Dutch DJ duo who opened for Kaskade earlier this semester at the back-to-school Fall Ball at the Strip.
While the festivals main focus is music, EDC aims to please all of the senses with art installations, carnival rides and elaborate pyrotechnics. Special to Insomniac is their family of theatrical performers. On EDCs website they are described as, Truly living, breathing, walking, dancing art pieces, our performers push the boundaries of imagination while dangling from the sky, spinning on stage or joining you for an impromptu dance party in the crowd.
As a part of The Dance Green project, EDC Orlando will be using B20 biodiesel, an American-produced fuel made from non-petroleum renewable resources that emit less air pollutants in nearly all of their generators. Attendees can join the Dance Green Team by remembering to recycle all cans, water bottles and plastic cups. Fest-goers can save $5 on water by using the Free Water Refill Stations located all over the grounds.
Insomniacs Charitable Giving Initiative will give one dollar per ticket transaction and ten dollars per guest list attendee to a community organization focused on youth arts, music and education.

Fond du Lac County Highway Department workers are responsible for cutting weeds and grass along most of the roads in the county. Here a worker mows along County Trunk OOO last week. / Taylor Ellingson/The Reporter Media
Editors note:
Today in Whats the Story? we answer a question from a reader who wants to know about the seemingly random mowing along the roadside of Highway 23 west of Fond du Lac.
Highway 23 is a Department of Transportation-controlled road, said John Zetter, Fond du Lac County Highway and Public Works superintendent. Were contracted out by the DOT to do the maintenance on and around that road and other roads throughout the county.
The reason mowing may appear random is because West Highway 23 is a designated area for clear zone mowing for woody vegetation patrol, Zetter said. Workers may be mowing grass normally, then they might have to stop to mow down a shrub or tree. This could make it look like some areas are cut lower than others, as woody plants may not be able to be mowed as low as regular grass.
According to Wisconsin Legislative Documents, woody vegetation refers to shrubs and trees, but not herbs. It may be contolled by mowing, pesticide applications or burning.
The state of Wisconsin has a woody vegetation policy, said Kurt Wranovsky, a maintenance worker for the Department of Transportation. Woody vegetation is mowed every three years. However, its unlikely that a county would be able to mow woody vegetation in the entire county in one summer.
Therefore, county highway departments usually split the county into three parts. One third of the county will get mowed this summer, one third the next, and so on. So, each part of the county is getting mowed once every three years, just not all in one summer, Wranovsky said.
Counties mow all grass once per year, which is usually enough, Wranovsky said. However, when issues pop up, such as a disrupted line of sight due to tall grass, we work with the county to make sure they get that taken care of to keep visibility up. Problem areas are mowed as often as needed.

after hearing Jets and Beamers latest offering, it reminded me of a song I wrote in 2001, called Maggie Coulter. I cant remember if I posted it before, but I was never satisfied with the recording, so I've re-done it on 24 track and posted it to my-space. I'd like comments if anyone fancies having a listen. Thanks.
PS if you'd like to see the words and chords please say.
I liked it! but I like all your songs the "wailing Welshman" My space spruced up a bit too anyway its a good effort buddy
Hey Phill,
I think this was one of your best recordings, and of course a great song. I like some of the backing harmonies but some of it in different spots kind of drowns you out in parts of the song, from 2:42-2:52 then again from 3:11-3:25. I would maybe tone those down some so they don't step on your vocals as much. I also really enjoyed your solo there towards the end. Overall though I really enjoyed your updated version.

Snow strands Heathrow passengersComment on this story
London - Passengers were forced to sleep on the floor at London's Heathrow Airport overnight, media said Saturday, after heavy snow grounded hundreds of flights and left thousands of people stranded.
A spokesman for the airport, one of the busiest in the world, said a further 100 flights had been cancelled on Saturday morning, on top of about 400 that were grounded Friday by the bad weather sweeping Britain.
The Eurostar train service also reported further delays on Saturday, saying snow and ice in Britain and northern France had led to speed restrictions. It also cancelled two trains on Saturday.
British media showed pictures of hundreds of people sleeping on the floor at Heathrow overnight Friday.
"There are lots of bodies lying around in the airport. If feels like there's been a natural disaster," Jerry Meng from Los Angeles, whose flight to New York was cancelled, told the BBC.
Ian Aitchison, who was due to fly to the US for a conference, told the broadcaster he was feeling "mildly hysterical" after being stuck on a plane for more than six hours before the flight was cancelled.
Runways, stands and taxiways remained open on Saturday but 67
outbound and 33 inbound flights were scrapped, largely because the bad weather meant aircraft or crew were not available, an airport spokesman said.
"We do not expect significant snowfall today, but temperatures are forecast to remain around zero degrees or below. Passengers should check the status of their flight before travelling to the airport," he said.
"There is a chance of further snow tomorrow."
Heathrow invested £50 million (60 million euros, $80 million) in improving its resilience to severe weather events after the chaos sparked by heavy snow in the run-up to Christmas to 2010, where passengers spent days stranded at the airport.
London's other major airports at Gatwick and Stansted were expecting to operate normally on Saturday. - Sapa-AFP

Officer Richard J. Haliford, of lithia springs, was 48 years old and had been with the Atlanta police department since 1986.
Officer Shawn a. Smiley, of lithonia, was 40 years old and had been with the department since 2010.
The helicopter in which Haliford and Smiley were riding crashed around 10:30 p.m. near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive southwest and Hamilton E. Holmes drive northwest, not far from a drug store.
Police said Haliford and Smiley were up in the chopper searching for a missing 9-year-old boy, who was later found safe, at the time of the accident, and that the low-flying helicopter hit power lines in the area.
The national transportation safety board and the federal aviation administration are investigating the cause of the accident.

- Filed Under
WARSAW — Britain on Monday announced major joint maneuvers in Poland in October, part of a string of NATO exercises in the region aimed at reassuring eastern Europe members jittery over a resurgent Russia.
I can announce today exercise Black Eagle, which will be a significant Polish and UK armored exercise with over 350 British armored and other vehicles and some 1,350 British personnel, British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said in Warsaw.
The deployment will be the largest British contribution to exercises in eastern Europe since 2008, he said at a joint press conference with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and Polands foreign and defense ministers.
Ex-communist NATO members have asked the alliance for permanent boots on the ground in the region amid the sharp escalation of fighting between Kiev government troops and pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Presidents from nine ex-communist NATO members met in Warsaw last week to hammer out a regional defense strategy to re-enforce its eastern frontier in preparation for a key summit in September.
The NATO summit is expected to focus largely on the fallout from the Ukraine crisis and Russias annexation of that countrys Crimean Peninsula.
Senior NATO officials have said decisions on the possible permanent deployment of alliance forces throughout its eastern flank can be expected in September.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is Europes most important security challenge since the end of the Cold War, Polands President Bronislaw Komorowski has said.
Strengthening NATOs eastern flank is fundamental.
NATO has already sent additional temporary rotations of air, sea and land forces to Poland and three small former Soviet-ruled Baltic states in response to the Ukraine crisis.
US President Obama in June earmarked $1 billion (741 million) in military funding for US allies on NATOs eastern border.

Building on a strong history of creating DBARCs, Brewer Science has developed a premium version of the successful Brewer Science® ARC® DS-K101 coating. ARC® DS-K101P KrF DBARC is designed to meet the tightening specifications of the 22-nm node and beyond. ARC® DS-K101P material has less than 1 ppb ions, while still maintaining the broad resist compatibly and tunability of the industry-proven ARC® DS-K101 coating. This new premium product will enable existing implant processes to transfer to future nodes.
"Brewer Science's continuous improvement process supports customers with new leading-edge lithography products," says Jim Lamb, Managing Director of Product Management at Brewer Science. "ARC® DS-K101P DBARC was created to give customers a valued solution for < 150-nm CD processes for implant, and a viable cost reduction for BEOL layers."
The tight n and k optical constants of Brewer Science® ARC® DS-K101P coating provide consistent performance, while developer solubility can improve throughput by eliminating an etch step, which reduces the cost of ownership.

Solar Panel Is Next Granite Countertop for Homebuilders
Justin Doom / Bloomberg / September 11, 2013
Solar panels are the next granite countertops: an amenity for new homes that's becoming a standard option for buyers in U.S. markets.
At least six of 10 largest U.S. homebuilders led by KB Home include the photovoltaic devices in new construction, according to supplier SunPower Corp. (SPWR) Two California towns are mandating installations, and demand for the systems that generate electricity at home will jump 56 percent nationwide this year, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
"In the next six months, homebuilders in California and the expensive-energy states willRead More
The Surprising Top 5 States Where Installing Solar Panels Will Get You Serious Cash
Zak Stone / Fast Company / August 30, 2013
Sure, some sun-soaked states are great places to get some power from the sun. But the complicated mix of tax credits and electricity prices make some less bright states good bets, too.
The best states to install solar panels at home aren't necessarily the ones with the most sun. That's one of the more interesting findings from a recent report produced by the personal finance site NerdWallet.com that ranks the 50 states by how much financial sense solar photovoltaics makes for homeowners.
The top two states crowning the list may come as no surprise: California and Hawaii, both richRead More
The Bright Spot for the U.S. Solar Market in 2013: Home Roof Tops
Ucilia Wang / GigaOM / June 11, 2013
The growing popularity of solar leases, falling prices of solar panels and efforts to reduce the costs of marketing, sales and permitting, have steadily boosted the growth of the solar market in recent years.
The U.S. market is forecast to install 4.4 GW of solar panels this year, a 33 percent increase from 2012, thanks in part by an expected surge in residential installations, according to a report released Tuesday.
The country added 723 MW of solar panels in the first quarter of 2013, up 33 percent from the first quarter of 2012, said the report by the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTMRead More

Peel-and-Stick Solar Panels: A World First
Justin McGar / DesignBuild Source / January 10, 2013
Researchers at the Stanford School of Engineering have succeeded in developing the world's first peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells.
The idea will allow the cells to be applied to almost any surface, with successful tests having been conducted on paper, plastic and window glass. This opens up significant opportunities for alternative applications for solar technology, previously limited by traditional solar cells, which must be mounted on stiff, often heavy, fixed panels.
Though fabricating thin-film solar panels on flexible substrates has been successfully achieved before,Read More

MarveL NOW! Adds Avengers Arena Plus First Look At AvX Consequences #1
Marvel NOW! will see the launch of a new book featuring the youth of the Marvel Universe in a sweet, coming of age story that sees them all…trying to kill each other! The first graduating class of the Avengers Academy and the Runaways among a few other groups will be thrown into a deathtrap by Arcade. The 16 young heroes will be thrown on the island of Murder World where writer Dennis Hopeless and artist Kev Walker will compose all the mayhem to follow. Besides the cover to issue 1, the duo and editor Bill Rosemann spoke with Marvel about the series. You can read the full interview by clicking here. Hopeless talks about the premise:
Yeah, Arcade has spent a lot of years building "Murder Worlds" that yield very few actual murders. He's decided it's time to get back a little self-respect. It's time for a new kind of Murder World. AVENGERS ARENA is about the unlucky kids he's chosen to help him try it out.
Here is what editor Rosemann and writer Hopeless had to say about the 16 participant and how they went about choosing them:
Rosemann: Fans of AVENGERS ACADEMY will hopefully be excited by the next chapter in the lives of Hazmat, Mettle, Reptil, Juston and his Sentinel and X-23. Speaking of schools, who are the Braddock Academy? After his last appearances in War of Kings and NOVA, Darkhawk soars again! Staying with sci-fi, just wait until you see what Dennis and Kev have planned for Annihilation's Cammi, baddest girl in all the galaxy. And last but certainly not least, direct from the pages of the dearly missed RUNAWAYS, we have Chase and Nico!
Hopeless: We really got to cherry pick our cast. That was a lot of fun, almost as much fun as creating the brand new characters. I have a feeling the Braddock Academy kids in particular are going to break some hearts. Not sure if we made it clear yet, but people die in this book.
Also Today saw the reveal of an unlettered preview to the post AvX story Avengers Vs. X-Men: Consequences. The weekly five issue series will be written by Kieron Gillen and will feature five different artists. The story takes place after AvX and shows how everyone will fair after the dust settles. The series kicks off October 10th.

November 30, 2015
Dale County residents could soon say goodbye to the days of having to wait hours in the tag renewal line.
The commission approved the locations for two satellite offices. One will be open at Daleville City hall on Thursday and Friday, between 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. The other will be in Pinckard. It will be open on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The commission was deciding between Midland City and Pinckard. According to Commission Chairman Mark Blankenship, they chose the Pinckard City Hall because it was in the most centralized location for that part of the county, registering more than 7,600 tags yearly. Also, this location has easier access in and out of the building.
You can only renew your tags at the satellite offices. Getting new titles and plates will still have to be done at the Dale County court house.
The offices should be up and running in the coming weeks.

James H. Shortt, 86, of Sandy Hook, "The Commander," died peacefully June 5 at Village Crest Health and Rehabilitation Center, New Milford. He was the husband of Laura J. Shortt, who died in 2002.
He grew up on the family dairy farm in Southbury and enlisted in the US Army at the age of 18, serving with the rank of staff sergeant during the Korean War.
Following his military service, Mr Shortt operated heavy equipment for O&G Industries of Torrington and for many years was employed at the Fabric Fire Hose Company in Sandy Hook, until it closed. He then held a position for the State of Connecticut at Fairfield Hills Hospital, until his retirement in 1989.
In his retirement, Mr Shortt enjoyed working in his garden, mowing and raking his lawn, and being caretaker for an estate in Sandy Hook. He lived a fruitful life with much love and respect from his family and friends. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He leaves his seven children and their spouses, James and Susannah of Sandy Hook, Maureen Shortt of Newtown, Terrance and Doreen, and Jeffrey Shortt and Lori Shortt, all of Florida, Richard and Laura of Brookfield, and Susan and Rick Jowdy of Danbury. Thirteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; a sister, Agnes Georgia of Shelton; and a brother, Eddy Shortt of Florida, also survive Mr Shortt.
The Shortt family wishes to thank the staff at Village Crest for the excellent care given to their father during his stay there.
A graveside service with full military honors took place Monday, June 16, at Sacred Heart Cemetery, Southbury.
Arrangements were in care of the Honan Funeral Home, Newtown.

How bad have broad commodity returns been? Bad enough.
Here's a snapshot over the last 12 months ending April 30. I've
chosen to look at the three largest and most well-established broad
commodity ETFs. That means the ones with the most assets that have
at least five years of history.
These are the PowerShares DB Commodity Tracking Fund
(NYSEArca:DBC), the iPath Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Total Return ETN
(NUYSEArca:DJP) and iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust
Then I made a simple risk/return plot of the portfolios, with
returns (for the holding period) on the vertical axis and risk
(annualized daily standard deviation) on the horizontal axis. This
means portfolios in the upper left look good, while lower right is
not the place to be.
The verdict? Over the past 12 months, the commodity allocation
would have hurt regardless of the fund chosen.
So what's going on here? Shouldn't a dollop of commodity
exposure help an otherwise-vanilla portfolio?
Well, not when the commodity funds brought a small but unhelpful
trifecta of negative returns, relatively high volatility and
relatively high correlations to equity-about 0.56 to SPY-as they
did over the 12-month period.
Over the three-year period, commodities had strong double-digit
returns. But equities were even stronger. And during this period,
bonds-the third leg of these simple portfolios-produced steady
returns with low volatility and a wonderfully negative correlation
to equities.
So the allocation to commodities in this period hurts, mostly by
taking away from these two strong and complementary components.
When we look back for a full five years, the picture changes a
