R1-Like it - Could Be a Bit More Exciting, Though!
I have been sort of writing this post - or trying to do so - in my head now for more than a week - and still have not been able to generate the excitement I need to be creative - neither does the R1. At the same time, I feel compelled to say something because the R1 Forum is so skewed on the side of the negative, when really - it's a nifty player, but with some caveats. No technical jargon from me - just the musings of a layperson who loves her R/B on a nice sounding player.
I own a Sony NWZ A729, two Samsung Q1s, iPhone, a Sansa Clip, and a few non-working Chinese MP4 players. Samsung players have a sound stage that appeals to my personal tastes - they seem to highlight high end instruments (perhaps this is what folks call sounding bright). I have had a Sansa Clip for months, but never really listened to it until last weekend, the day I got my R1. I generally listen to my music flat, and I use Sennheiser Px 100s, HD 238s or some other model, generally. I am now sold on the Clip being the best sounding player that I own, but I had no clue before I ordered another Samsung.
When trying to decide between a Cowon J3 or S9 and the Samsung R1 - I was advised here to go with a Cowon, but when I had the chance to get an 8gb R1 at a decent price, I had to jump at it! I have no regrets, as now I know some of its stregnths and weaknesses from a first-hand perspective, at a price that has not caused buyers remorse.
The player came with firmware 3.03 installed and I have yet to have any of the problems documented here, but I have not used it regularly.
What I wanted and What I like
1. Compact touch screen player (touch screen is very responsive)
2. Nice sturdy feel to it / silver brushed metal name plate is gorgeous - it is a classy looking player
3. Album art is flawless with Vorbis files - Album art is done much, much better than it is on the Q1
4. I like the R1's angled Album Flow and that you can also view albums by way of a list - the album art is too small this way, though. Would be great if I can change this somehow.
(a) In the landscape mode, the album art is quite beautifully integrated with text - there is an illumination effect there as well.
(b) Time Flow -hold your finger on the album art and the picture angles to make room for a list of songs on the album that is currently playing. In this mode, you can swipe the album art to engage Album Flow, but for some reason my album titles all show as Unknown - no big issue since I certainly know which album I am looking at, but still odd.
5. Ok, I think it is cool that you can rotate the whole screen 180 degrees to make the player equally comfortable for left and right-handed people to use. Or if you do not want your headphone jack at the bottom of your player - rotate the screen and now it is at the top - or right vs. left depending on how you hold your player. Samsung gets bonus points for that.
6. Demo videos look great - I like the Mosaic Flow display of videos.
7. Excellent sound - It sounds a bit more even then the Q1 - but I have not decided yet if it sounds better! - Its a subdued sound - more like the Sansa Clip to me than the Q1 is.
I have nothing else to say about video because I bought this for my listening, not viewing interests and pleasure and so have not really tried it. I cannot speak about the blue tooth because my car stereo is tripping, so I could not connect the R1 to it.
Do Not like
1. I am all for appealing to little girls - It's about time - but my -This widget-dominating cartoonish UI is a bit much.. no.. it is a LOT much!
2. What the hell is with the clock - Accuracy is non-existent!
3. Accelerometer - Fail - While listening to a song, you can change the orientation from landscape to portrait - but if you engage any othe function while listening to your music, the orientation reverts back to landscape until you return to your song. This caught me off guard for a minute until I realized that I needed to rotate my player when I went to the home screen while listening to a song that was in portrait mode.
4. I find that I have to go through too many screens to get where I want to go - about two too many steps for me.
5. Yes, I said that I listen to my music flat, but it is still disappointing to see R/B missing from the DNSE choices!
6. Transitioning from one album to the next requires going back into the music menu - If you use your browser to play by songs, then you can swipe the screen to go from one song to the next - this is not the case if you select Albums in the browser.
7. And this - believe it or not - was the negative that stood out most for me when I first started playing around with this thing - Parts of the UI (upuon tapping the music widget) just looks too incomplete and cheap to me. It reminded me of my buying-from-Mp4-Nation days - when I got players that had random, cheap, and bland icons and I had to spend weeks learning how to modify my player just so that icons did not look they were drawn by 3rd grader in timeout! - Maybe this flashback is too much for me - it certainly is a real turn off
Do I like the player, yes! But I am not thrilled about it. I do not find myself feeling the usual excitement I have for a new player. In fact, it still sits in the box with the oritional protectve plastic shield on the screen. I have been trying to figure out why - I mean, it is so much of what I want in a player. I think that - for me - the R1 is a victim of bad timing!
The Q1 was pretty much the first name-brand PMP that I bought - and I was blown away not only by the sound quality, but also by its ease of use! Yes, I said Q1 had ease of use - that is when you consider what I was coming from, Chines MP4 players with notoriously bad UIs. The practice I got frustratingly navigating these players originally made using the Q1 a breeze - but then I got the Sony and then the iPhone - debate about the iPod's SQ asside, it has the best UI out there - I even find it a bit exciting and fun to work with. I like using it with my car stereo! Navigation is a pain on it, but I like the Q1's UI much better than the R1's.
I really like the R1 - it is a small touch screen, just as I wanted - but the UI is so boring and uninspired that yesterday I found myself using the cumbersome Q1 over the R1. I have been thinking about just holding on to this to give away as a gift, esp. at only 8gb, but perhaps I will do some research and learn how to mod the UI - make it more pleasing to my taste. Had I gotten this before the Q1, the NWZ A729, or the iPhone - I would have been singing nothing but praises for the R1 - for now it is a compact, wonderful-sounding player, without enough oomph to make me reach for it on a daily basis.
Nevertheless, given what all the player has and can do: compact size, Album Flow, TV out, bluetooh, pretty responsive touch screen, plays a variety of types of music files including lossless, etc., I think it is a steal for under $100.00 on Ebay and Amazon (see bogator321 on Ebay); if you wait, you may even get it for less.

Nice Post. Thats why i have 6-7 mp3 players, when i get bored with one i pic up another and play with it for awhile , Ive never been satisfied with just one player. ITS A SICKNESS, sounds like you have the same problem, Havent had the yp-R1 very long but it is a great player. coming from the Yp-p3 another great mp3 but the touch screen is not what the r1 is. think they perfected it just a bit more. but like you, there's note enough to keep me occupied with the R1. I think Iriver is the best all around player, ive had most of them, great player but the 4 of them ive had they just dont last, the Clix2 and the spin, Im 53 and over the years ive spent 1000.00 of bens. on these players and in the future i'll spend 1000.00's more. But thats the love for music and gadgets i have
cowon d2 + 4 gb sd card, meizu m6 8gb miniplayer
iriver clix 2gen 4 gb, iriver h320 20 gb
sansa 270 6gb
bose earbuds, Bose on ear, Sennheiser hD555 on ear

Chin up, shoulders back—leave it to celebs to get the most flattering angle caught on camera.
Holmes knows that with her shoulders slightly shrugged, her killer arms and collar bones will be beautifully accentuated. Of course, the bright blue hue of the dress works on camera, too.
Vergara has the ultimate va-va voom body, but to soften the look of her ample chest, she wears her hair long and loose. You can put this in the problem-to-have category.
No one is better at working the camera than La Lopez. The over-the-shoulder heard turn is a winner.
Have long, gorgeous legs, will flaunt them. Hathaway tilts her shoulders back and extends one leg forward, a great way to elongate her frame.
The one-shoulder push, combined with the crooked arm perch perfectly creates a visual curvy "S" shape for the body.
With the straight posture of a prima ballerina, Paltrow adds five inches to the appearance of her height.
The classic Witherspoon red carpet pose: Hands on hips (draws attention to the area), legs crossed (visually slims the lower half). The effect? Her hourglass curves look fabulous.
Can't beat the hands on hips...she IS Sasha Fierce.
Not only do we love Longoria because she is smart and funny and a lover of fashion, but we love her because she is always, always camera-ready. She is poises, posed, and lighting up the lens with her mega-watt smile.
Legs Jolie makes perfect use of an up-to-there skirt slit, and the camera loves it.
The ultimate combo posing platter: Hands on hips, one leg cocked, shoulders shrugged, big old smile. Clearly, she's a pro.
Nicole Kidman isn;t the only woman to tower over her man, which is why she almost always bends one knee and shlumps her body down in order to close the height gap. Well done!
If ever there was an award given out for the best at a camera-ready pose, surely this gal would take the trophy. Upper body back, lower body forward, chin down and...no smile. It's the look of Victoria Beckham.
Hands perched on ab-fabulous waist, shoulders back to increase height. Perfection.
Winslet also has the perfect posture of an ex-dancer (makes her look taller), and also raises her head to elongate her swan-like neck. Give the women an Oscar for that!
Check out these always-stylish stars, elegant even when exercising, pregnant or weathering a public scandal.

What are the Stages of Vulvar Cancer?
The stage of cancer tells how much cancer there is and how far it has spread. By using exams and tests, a doctor can tell the stage of a person's vulvar cancer. A cancer's stage is one of the most important factors in deciding the best treatment for the cancer. Stage 0 or carcinoma in situ is a very early lesion. The lesion is found only in the surface of the skin.
Invasive vulvar cancer is staged as follows, based on findings and pathology from surgery:
Stage I. In Stage I, cancer is found only in the vulva and/or the space between the opening of the rectum and the vagina (called the perineum). The lymph glands do not contain cancer and it has not spread to other organs or tissues elsewhere in the body:
Stage IA. The tumor is less than or equal to 3/4 inch (2 centimeters) in diameter and has grown no more than 1 millimeter (less than 1/25 inch) into the tissue of the vulva. It has not spread to the lymph nodes.
Stage IB. In Stage IB, cancer is greater than 2 centimeters in diameter or has spread more than 1 millimeter (mm) beneath the surface of the skin. The tumor is found only in the vulva and/or the perineum and has not spread to the lymph nodes.
Stage II. The tumor is any size and has spread to adjacent perineal sites such as the lower urethra, lower vagina, or anus, but has not spread to lymph nodes.
Stage III. In stage III, the tumor is any size and has spread to nearby (inguinal or femoral) lymph nodes. It may or may not have spread to adjacent site such as the lower urethra, lower vagina, or anus.
Stage IIIA. The cancer has spread either to a single lymph node metastasis of up to 5 mm or to one or two lymph nodes metastases that are smaller than 5 mm..
Stage IIIB. The cancer has spread to two or more lymph node metastases that are at least 5 mm, or to three or more lymph node metastases that are smaller than 5 mm.
Stage IIIC. The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the groin, and at least one of the nodes has cancer growing through its outer layer (known as extracapsular spread).
Stage IVA. In Stage IVA, either of these situations is found:
Cancer is found in the vulva and/or perineum and has spread to nearby tissues such as the upper part of the urethra, the vagina, and/or the anus. Nearby lymph nodes in which cancer is found have become attached to the surrounding tissues or have ulcerated (leading to open sores). The cancer has not spread to distant organs in the body.
Cancer has spread from the vulva and/or perineum into the bladder, rectum, pelvic bone, or further up the urethra. Nearby lymph nodes may or may not be involved. The cancer has not spread to more distant sites in the body.
Stage IVB. This is the most advanced stage of vulvar cancer, in which the cancer has spread to organs, tissues, and/or lymph nodes further away in the body.
Recurrent. Recurrent cancer means that the cancer has come back (recurred) after it has been treated. It may come back in the vulva or another place.
The staging of vulvar cancer can be very confusing. People should seek out care from a gynecologic oncologist, a subspecialist with advanced training in the diagnosis and management of vulvar cancer.

South Africa is a country of extremes where the disparity between rich and poor has been increasing since majority rule was achieved. Yet I see South Africa as a county of hope and promise where the full potential is yet to be reached.
These photographs depict a personal view of many different areas of South Africa during the 2000s, when I have been captivated by the comparison between majestic landscapes and the everyday evidence of people's lives – their washing hanging on lines, fences, bushes and trees.
As the poet Marilyn Walker says '…there are no secrets you could keep when clothes were hung to dry'. So these photographs give us a small glimpse into everyday life hanging out in glorious scenery.

We have been reflecting lately on the many blessings we receive each year. From you, our readers, our business associates, our neighbors and our friends.
For more than 100 years, local folks have embraced The Times-Independent as the community's newspaper of record. And more than that, you have considered it your newspaper. For that, and so much more, we are thankful to all of you.
We are thankful for the people who are willing to share their stories with us every week. A community newspaper is, after all, for and about the people, and those personal stories bring all of us a little closer to one another.
We are thankful for a community that keeps us informed about issues and concerns of which we may not always be immediately aware. No community newspaper succeeds without input from the public. So we are ever thankful to all of you who take the time to stay in touch.
We are thankful for all of you who take time to express your opinions by writing letters, guest commentaries and even private notes regarding matters that are important to you. We provide these public forums as a service to all members of our community, and we appreciate that so many people here are so very dedicated to making this the best possible place in which to live.
We are thankful to everyone in the community who, over these many years, has supported truly local businesses – those enterprises, like The Times-Independent, that put local people to work, pay local taxes, infuse cash in the local economy and give so much every year to local kids and organizations that help others. Without your support, all those businesses, this newspaper included, would find themselves struggling to keep their doors open and keep local residents employed, especially during hard economic times.
Finally, we are thankful for this widely diverse community that embraces people from all walks of life, of all beliefs, political positions, and personal passions, regardless of whether we all agree.

After a decade of delivering their own riff-heavy brand of metallic rock harkening back to the punk, hardcore and post-hardcore sounds of their predecessors, Coliseum – vocalist and guitarist Ryan Patterson, bassist Kayhan Vaziri and drummer Carter Wilson – will perform live at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Summer in the City concert on August 14, 2013.
The group recently released their fourth full-length, Sister Faith, a 13-track blast of galvanized melodies at the collision point between punk and noise-rock. "Though punk rock may have been the template (and paradigms do shift), songwriting and emotional content have become Coliseum's focus," noted John Baizley of metal contemporaries Baroness. "And to that end, they have gracefully transitioned from the unrelenting anger, rage and rawness of youth to a more thought-provoking, yet no-less-powerful or insightful sound that is entirely their own."
The Rock Hall caught up with Ryan Patterson of Coliseum to talk rock and roll – everyone from Tom Petty, Run DMC, Les Paul and Bad Brains to the Beatles, the Who, Sex Pistols and Public Enemy.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: What artists did you listen to when you were growing up and what about them appealed to you? Were you influenced by any Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees?
Ryan Patterson: My Dad is a huge fan of 60s rock and saw many of the greats in the flesh, so our house was full of LPs from the Beatles, Zeppelin, the Doors, Hendrix, the Who, and just about any other rock related music from the 50s through the 80s. To say that the Beatles are in my DNA is an understatement.
RH: Where did the punk/hardcore influence come from?
RP: The music that blew my mind and turned me into a musician was punk, and its various influences and offshoots. So I'm happy that the Stooges, the Ramones, the Clash and the Sex Pistols have all been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Obviously most of the artists inducted have been influential to me in some way, but Pink Floyd, Public Enemy, Tom Waits, Van Morrison and Leonard Cohen also all have special places in my heart. Of course, I must also mention Leo Fender and Les Paul for pioneering the guitars and amps that I hold so dear and channel our riffs. [pictured below, clockwise: 1977 Sex Pistols concert poster; DMC eyeglass frames and Adidas sneakers circa 1985; Who drumhead circa 1967]
RH: Given all those influences, what was the first record/CD you ever bought and do you still listen to it?
RP: My first favorite band was Huey Lewis And The News. I had all their LPs as well as the Back To The Future soundtrack with the essential "Power Of Love." I don't think that I purchased those myself though – they were my parents' records. The first music I purchased with my own money was Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever cassette. Other very memorable early records I owned were Run DMC's Raising Hell LP, which my aunt gave me for Christmas in 1986 or 1987, and the first compact discs I had were Bad Brains' Rock For Lights and the Pixies Trompe Le Monde, given to me by an uncle for Christmas in the early 90s. I have a very cool musical family. I listen to all of this music to this day, although Bad Brains and Pixies are probably more indicative of my tastes going into adulthood.
RH: Speaking of adulthood, what do you remember about playing your first gig – how old were you, where was it, when was it, how'd it go, the crowd?
RP: I was 15. It was 1992 at an outdoor festival in my hometown of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, called the "Heartland Festival." It was a small but supportive crowd under a tent in the August summer heat. My band Synapsis played a bunch of our own songs as well as a handful of covers-of-covers, including the Lemonheads' version of "Luka" [originally by Suzanne Vega] and Dinosaur Jr's version of "Just Like Heaven" [originally by the Cure]. It was fun and memorable and it set me off on a long road that I still follow to this day.
RH: Coliseum released Sister Faith this April, the group's fourth album. Which recording of yours would you say is your favorite and why?
RP: Sister Faith is my favorite. Your newest record is always your favorite, but I also feel like it's the album I've been wanting to make my entire life. It's definitely our most accomplished and assured work thus far.
RH: Your music has been categorized into a number of genres, but how would you describe it? What song would you tell them to listen to first and why?
RP: I usually say "punk rock" or "loud guitar rock." If someone knows a bit more about our world of music, I might mention post-punk and 90s alternative, as well as 80s post-hardcore and various other sub-genres. If I had to recommend one song right now, it would be either "Black Magic Punks" or "Late Night Trains," both songs are energetic tunes with a dark vibe and lots of melodic qualities. They seem to sum up Coliseum in 2013 as well as anything could.
RH: Thinking about the live experience in advance of your concert this week at the Rock Hall, do you have a favorite concert? One by someone else? And one by you?
RP: I'm bad at ranking memories... I've seen life changing performances by Fugazi, Swans, the New Pornographers, Spoon, Kerosene 454, Jawbox, Neurosis and so many others. Each are special in their own way. The same goes for our own shows. There have been so many highlights that it's hard to choose. Recently we headlined a small outdoor festival in Berlin that had such a wonderful fun and happy vibe. It turned out so much better than we expected, and it really moved me how unified the band and audience felt that night. It was certainly my most recent favorite show that we've played.

I was seven years old when Exile on Main St. was released in 1972. It wasn't until later in the decade that I first heard the album, though I was already a Rolling Stones fan by then. My earliest rock and roll mentors – friends and family, and musicians and writers that I admired – told me Exile was the Stones record to have, so I picked up a used, well-worn copy on vinyl. The dog-eared double LP jacket was ragged and looked like hell; long gone were the dozen postcards that came with the original packaging. However, the scratched wax delivered an electric sound.
Those sounds – like my battered copy's packaging – were gritty, rough, perfectly unpolished. The album was filled with bravado, the songs seemingly shambolic, unrehearsed and the playlist was sprawling, with more than a dozen tracks. The Stones tapped into America's eclectic songbook, borrowing lines from country, blues, soul, swamp and the heyday of the rock and roll era – and it all sounded genuine. The recording of Exile was shrouded in mystique, a model of rebellion amid tales of wild decadence and hedonism at Nellcôte, the French mansion-cum-studio rented by Keith Richards. Even the cover art was shocking and mysterious: Despite being bona fide rock stars, the group were nowhere to be found on it. Instead, a collage of sideshow freaks graced the cover. I was all in.
The album followed me in later years, proving the engaging soundtrack to road adventures. Perhaps it's the association with the youthful freedom a driver's license provided, but hearing Exile tracks such as the Eddie Cochran-esque "Rip This Joint" or the Stones' take on Slim Harpo's "Shake Your Hips" blaring from a single, center dashboard speaker really resonated with me. And it seemed that wherever life's journeys would take me, "Tumbling Dice" provided a familiar note in each new location, its inclusion on a jukebox the measure of an establishment's cool. As a musician, the slow country churn of "Sweet Virginia" inspired many acoustic jams. As a budding guitarist and Richards' fan, I gravitated toward "Happy," for its ringing guitar and shuffling gait. (pictured, l-r: Keith Richards playing guitar, from the Rolling Stones' 1966 greatest hits collection Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass); Richards' black leather bomber jacket, part of the Rock Hall's forthcoming exhibit, Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction)
Decades later, Exile on Main St. is still on steady rotation. We've been together a long time, and the shine is still there. It remains among my favorite albums of all time. In fact, I etched it in stone. Next time you're standing in front of the Rock Hall, look for the Legacy Brick that reads "Rip This Joint." It quite literally has my name on it.

Comments about National Geographic Bird Watcher's Bible:
The book is beautiful, the kind you display prominently when you're not reading it. Wonderful photographs and drawings; a highly informative book.This is not the book you want for local/backyard identification, they have a number of wonderful field guides for that. But if you love birds or want to learn more about them, this book is for you.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When you live to be 107, your birthday parties can get pretty big. Take Juliana Koo, for instance. The New York Times reports the woman's bash included more than 140 family and friends.
Born in Tianjin, China, in 1905, Koo was married to a Chinese diplomat who was executed by the Japanese during World War II. Her second husband, Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, also was a nationalist Chinese diplomat, as well as a prime minister, according to the newspaper.
"Somebody asked her the secret of long life," Koo's step-granddaughter Ying-Ying Yuan tells the Times. "She said, 'No exercise, eat as much butter as you'd like and never look backwards.' "
Shirley Young, one of her three daughters (one has died), tells the newspaper pork bellies are also a fave.
"And she doesn't take any medicine," Young tells the Times. "When doctors give her medicine, she usually hides it, or when she takes something, she takes half a pill. People keep on giving her Chinese herbs, things like that. She never takes them."
After 107 years, she's certainly earned the right to know what's best. Now, pass the butter, please.

Reviews for Simple Lasagna
"Very easy and tasty."
"I was looking for a lasagna recipe for just one person. My husband is not a fan of lasagna. This sounds really good. Can't wait to try it before the weather turns warm."
"I actually got 4 servings out of this so it was perfect for two dinners. I used leftover homemade spaghetti sauce but like the idea that it can be made with jarred sauce. Also lends itself to adding extras such as extra meat, pepperoni, or veggies. Great recipe for a quick lasagna for 2!"
"Delicious! I made this last week, and I was surprised how good it was considering that it did not take long to cook at all! The only thing I would recommend is to add a bit more cheeses...I ran short. Making it again this week!"
"Such a good size...not too many left overs (if any ;). Easy to make and super yummy. Will be making often!"

THE STORY: The play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject-so far as possible-the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely normal young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.

I have always been obsessed with creating excellence in everything I do. In my quest for excellence as a film maker, I have traveled the world learning the tools and techniques as a result of being on the 'front line', filming in countless different environments in almost every continent (I never got to Antarctica!). However, no matter where and what I was filming, the approach in each and every case was fundamentally the same.
There are some guiding principles that drive what I do. I thought I would share 10 of the main ones here with you today. Then, in future posts, we'll move onto the specifics of increasing your film making confidence and knowledge as rapidly as possible.
So here are my 10 guiding principles for success as a film maker. I'll be coming back to each of these in detail in the weeks and months ahead:
1) Most aspiring film makers are not confident enough to go out and shoot for money. It's only the lack of knowledge that prevents their confidence from brimming. I remember my first ever shoot for the BBC, I was petrified I'd mess it up, sweating nervously. Just simply because of a lack of experience and knowledge (at that time). There's no short cut here, but I can accelerate this for you.
2) If you're not out shooting projects, you'll never get over the confidence hurdle. Experience comes from making lots of mistakes, but learning fast! I have got literally dozens of stories of screwing up on location, yet I was always working. The secret is knowing how to fix a problem, always have a Plan B.
3) What defines a film maker anyway? And who has the right to say you can't be one? You don't need to spend huge sums on all the gadgets or the very latest kit AND it DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT prevent you from creating great work. But knowing how to do it on a budget, there's the magic formula! Buying 'stuff' is really easy…. making stuff takes some effort.
4) You have 8 seconds to make an impact on a new visitor to your website. If you don't get them in the first 8 seconds, they'll move on to the next site, so if you want them to watch your film, better make the opening shot count! Try this next time your 'browsing the web', ask yourself "what's interesting for me?", "what am I looking for?
5) Execution is the greatest tool available for film making success. Becoming great at realising your vision and 'making it happen' will make you a confident and great film maker. There's only so much theory you can consume before you have to apply yourself.
6) If you shoot for money, your prices are almost certainly too low. But if you don't have the confidence to charge more, perhaps this is holding you back. There's a commonality amongst creatives and it's about money, have you ever felt that it's almost 'frowned upon' to charge 'too much?'. Let me tell you something, those people who frown only do so because they're envious. Be proud of your prices. If you truly believe that you give your clients exceptional service and value and that they benefit, then you are providing huge value, just make sure you reflect this in your pricing. Think about it, when do you ever buy anything that's so important and look for the 'cheapest'?
7) Being a Film maker can be tough, but just being a spectator is much, much worse. You've made the right decision (or maybe you're about to make the right decision). Film making is one of the most rewarding vocations ever and there has never before been so many platforms on which to showcase your work. But more exciting are the number of businesses you can approach to create compelling films that will not only be creative wonders but also help the client promote their product, service or widget. Make films and get paid? Imagine!
Everyone can learn to be a great film maker, it's a choice. Nobody will tell you this but becoming a confident and successful film maker is actually fairly straightforward. Study and duplicate success. It's (almost) as simple as that.
9) The most important factor in creating film making success is your mindset and thinking. That's why a significant proportion of my work is focused on building your confidence and teaching you how to follow a process when shooting. Once you master this, you will be amazed at how easy it is to replicate in ANY situation.
10) Nothing I tell you will ever be theory. I can now go into any situation, light it, shoot it and know with absolute certainty that it will edit together well and look fantastic but getting there was not always easy. All my skills and experience were developed in 'the trenches'. If I can save you from some of the hurdles I had to jump over, I will have done a good job.

Pegeen Wall and Mary Marshall did a double take when they heard one another's name announced at a recent Catholic Charities volunteer training session held in Poughkeepsie. They met decades back when Ms. Marshall, then a young mom, volunteered to teach children to swim at the local YWCA where Ms. Wall then worked as aquatic director. But this time Ms. Wall, now semi retired, was the volunteer and Ms. Marshall was the recruiter seeking help. Their professional and volunteer careers, they later learned, mirrored one another's as they zigzagged back and forth from volunteer to staff and expanded their expertise along the way.
After their first meeting, Ms. Wall, today a grandmother of six, built a successful career in public relations and fund raising for nonprofit organizations while volunteering on a variety of boards and committees. Meanwhile Ms. Marshall, a former IBM employee, volunteered as president of a local nursery school board, Parent-Teacher Association, garden club and more before volunteering at Catholic Charities in Ulster County in 1990. She joined the agency staff in 1993 and has since worked her way up to her current position as Director of Catholic Charities Community Services in Poughkeepsie.
Now this social service agency is in the midst of a major drive to tap into volunteer expertise so that it can enhance and expand services offered. Ms. Marshall has taken a leadership role in the effort in Poughkeepsie by drawing on expertise she developed working with and as a volunteer.
"We want to make sure we honor people who are generously giving their time," Ms. Marshall said as she took a quick break from a monthly volunteer orientation and recruitment session in Dutchess County. "Instead of fitting people into narrow volunteer positions, we let them bring who they are and match them with what they have to offer."
For Ms. Wall, this means the opportunity to do hands-on volunteer work by greeting clients, taking intake information and referring clients to Catholic Charities staff for help.
"I volunteered on boards and committees before but this has been an eye opener," Ms. Wall said. "I hadn't expected the caliber, education and gratitude of people needing help," she added, "and I'm impressed by the professional, gracious staff here that goes over and above in their efforts to serve."

Mayor Williams Joins Chief Dunning and Students to Present Mural Paintings for Vacant Buildings in Downtown Wilmington
Posted on 12/18/2013 6:27 pm
Mayor Dennis P. Williams and Chief Christine Dunning joined members of the downtown business community and local schools to unveil new murals displayed in the window of a vacant storefront in downtown Wilmington.
For the past month, students at Bancroft Elementary, Stubbs Elementary, and Kuumba Academy painted several 9 foot by 5 foot mural sections that will be placed in the storefronts of a vacant building on located Market Street. Based on the concept of crime prevention through environmental design, the murals represent a cooperative effort between the police department, downtown business community, and neighboring schools.
"This mural project is a great example of the positive impact we can have on the community when the business community, schools and police work together," said Mayor Williams. "These murals will not only beautify downtown but also work to strengthen ties within the community."
The mural project was spearheaded by Master Corporal Malcolm Stoddard, a 13 year veteran of the department and newly assigned patrolman to the downtown business district. Master Corporal Stoddard looked for ways to improve downtown, and identified a vacant building in the 800 block of Market Street and worked to coordinate a community effort to create and install murals in the storefront. Murals have successfully been used around the county to improve quality of life and deter crime by improving a community's physical environment.
"Building strong neighborhoods starts with creating successful relationships amongst the community. These murals were a community project organized and led by the police department, enthusiastically supported by the business community, and beautifully painted by students from our local schools," said Chief Dunning.
The Wilmington Police Department provided funding for the project and Jerry's Artarama generously donated art supplies. Master Corporal Stoddard then invited schools located near the downtown neighborhood to participate in the project by asking students to create different murals to display in the storefront.

On May 12 at LPR, Alice Russell will be performing her new album, To Dust, which dropped in the US today! We caught up with the vibrant singer to talk about her new album, the upcoming show, and her love for music, amongst a couple other things. Dig in below.
Find show details on our event page.
Giant Step: Congratulations on completing your newest album, To Dust! What can folks expect on this album; how does it compare to your previous works?
Alice Russell: Well for me it was a return to My Favourite Letters, the album before Pot of Gold. Pot of Gold for me was like a love session album really, and both TM Juke and I wanted to twist it up and get back to playing around with the production. Building up the sound bricks from the ground up, there was a lot of deconstruction then reconstructing. Some of the songs went through 5 different versions before they felt right. Others we reverted back to the demo for the original energy of the song. There are foot stomps, layers of vocals and all sorts of other treats in there. Also Alex (TM Juke) had a lot of new production tricks up his sleeve to try out. We played around a lot on this album .
GS: We know you command a huge presence when performing, but for those newer to that experience, how would you describe your live performances?
AR: Pretty raw, energetic – come and see for yourselves! We have changed it up so there are more triggers and synth bass present! New album, new live feel for sure.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Admission Requirement Changes
General Overview
MCCCD health care programs has made changes to their student background check standards. These changes are necessary for students admitted September 1, 2011 or after because some of MCCCD's largest clinical experience hospital partners have established more stringent background check standards for students that are equivalent to the background check standards the hospitals use when they are hiring their own new employees. In order for MCCCD students to be able to continue to complete their required clinical experiences at local hospitals and to be eligible for employment after graduation, MCCCD students must meet these new standards.
MCCCD understands that some students who have been waiting to enroll in a program may not be able to attend based on the more stringent requirements that are now in place; however, students who cannot be placed in a clinical setting – and thus are unable to complete their program of study – will have wasted time, effort and educational investment. In the interest of ensuring that students avoid this predicament as well as ensuring that MCCCD programs comply with the strict standards of all clinical agency partners, MCCCD must take direction from the clinical partners.
Please read all material related to the changes in admission requirements and continued enrollment in the both NURSING and Nurse Assistant Programs.

MaricopaNursing at Paradise Valley Community College
The MaricopaNursing Program at Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) is changing the composition of their admitting cohort for Spring 2013. PVCC will be offering the Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) with Northern Arizona University (NAU). Eighteen (18) openings at PVCC will be admitting students who meet the pre-requisite requirements for both MaricopaNursing and the CEP with NAU. Two (2) placements for the CEP will be designated for veterans who meet the criteria for a CEP cohort total of 20 students. An additional ten (10) openings will be given to students selecting the traditional MaricopaNursing Program.
Conditions and rationale that have influenced the changes in the admission cohort are accreditation standards, state and national healthcare reforms, and the challenges of a rapidly changing healthcare system. The Spring 2013 CEP cohort will graduate simultaneously with an AAS in Nursing from Paradise Valley and a BS in Nursing from Northern Arizona University in December 2014. Take advantage of the opportunity to earn your BSN within the comforts of PVCC. Get prepared. Sign up now for the additional NAU prerequisites at PVCC.

The Maricopa Nursing Program is offered at eight Maricopa Community Colleges. A variety of course schedules are offered at selected sites and include full time, accelerated, part-time, and on-line options. Clinical experiences are provided in a variety of in-patient and out-patient settings. Students enrolled in the program rotate through health care facilities within a reasonable driving distance from the colleges. Nursing students work directly with patients, nurses, physicians, and other health care professionals and receive hands-on experience in all major specialty areas in community agencies, long-term care facilities, and hospitals.
Completion of the nursing curriculum and general education degree requirements prepares students to take the national licensure exam and apply for licensure as registered nurses. Licensing requirements are the exclusive responsibility of the State Board of Nursing.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

MyReporter - Why are there so many sex offenders on Racine Drive?
Published: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 7:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 7:17 p.m.
Q: Why are there 10 registered sex offenders living in the same area of Racine Drive?
A: There is no law that prohibits sex offenders from living with each other or in close proximity, said Sgt. Jerry Brewer, a spokesman for the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office.
Brewer added that they could all live in the same house, but they would have to have a valid address so that their whereabouts could be tracked.
In North Carolina, sex offenders must register where they live. You may search for a sex offender by street name or by name of offender. Follow this link to search: http://sexoffender.ncdoj.gov/search.aspx.

Q: Why is there no stop sign on Ocean Gate near the new Westgate Nature Park?
A: The road is not owned by the town of Leland, said David A. Hollis, town manager.
"It is still privately owned and maintained by the developer of the property. We received the notification from probably the same person and have forwarded it on to the developer for him to repair," Hollis said.

The Division on Technology and Logistics (DTL) aims to enhance the economic development and competitiveness in developing countries - in particular Least Developed Countries - through efficient trade logistics services and transit transport systems; science, technology and innovation, including increased access to and sustainable use of information and communication technologies; and training and capacity-building programmes for local institutions.
The Division achieves this through analytical work, intergovernmental policy dialogue and the implementation of technical cooperation, training and capacity building programmes.
The Division consists of three Branches, hosts the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development and carries out ASYCUDA, UNCTAD´s largest technical cooperation programme.
At the 21-25 May session, ministerial and other participants, including a Nobel laureate, will seek new ways to harness science and technology to address development challenges, and review the progress made in the implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) outcomes.
Innovation changes the way we work, live and dream; its transformational power and impact on development are limitless. It is in this context that UNCTAD and Qatar Foundation have joined forces to partner in the open forum titled Innovation and Technology Day at UNCTAD XIII in Doha.
With the implementation of Module 1 of the Modern Port Management course, Namibia joined the English-speaking network of the Programme. Ghana, Malaysia, Maldives, Indonesia and the United Republic of Tanzania are the other members of the network.

Minister's Delight RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry or apple pie filling
- 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, optional
- Place pie filling in a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Combine cake mix and butter (mixture will be crumbly); sprinkle over filling. Sprinkle with walnuts if desired. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Serve in bowls. Yield: 10-12 servings.
Reviews for Minister's Delight
"This was way to sweet (and I like sweet). Next time I will use the unsweetened pie filling and either use 2 cans of filling or reduce cake mix to 1/2. I also think the oven would to a better job than the slow cooker."
"I have varied tastes to provide for, so I used two different kinds of pie filling. I made a "pan divider" out of folded tin foil to split my 9 x 13" pan in half. I poured a can of blueberry on one side, and a can of cherry pie filling on the other. After I added my cake mix crumbs, I removed the divider and baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Everyone's happy! It IS sweet, but my husband has a (very) sweet tooth - and he liked it."
"Made the recipe in a 3 quart with 2 cans of filling, cooked almost 3 hours but still looked "raw". Next time I will make it with enough time to use a backup."
"This is a five star recipe for sure....easy to make, easy to take along, taste wonderful to young and old alike. I have enjoyed it for years, and have never been disapointed with the results. We like it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to guild the lilly."
"Also need 3 hours on low, not 2 hours."

Buying Portfolios On Check Out My Cards

|Sports Card Buying Tips
Check Out My Cards
Buying an entire "Portfolio"
COMC Marketplace for Portfolios: Port Classifieds
There are two different ways you can add cards to sell on the popular website Check Out My Cards (COMC). You can either send in cards to their Washington warehouse, which costs a minimum of $0.20 cents per card. Or, you can purchase cards on-site with the hopes of flipping them for profit by re-selling them. There are a number of ways you can attempt to acquire cards to re-sell on COMC. You can purchase cards at the listed price on their site and simply re-list them for a higher price. This strategy should only be employed if you notice a seller has updated their inventory and recently lowered prices. Typically you at least want to make offers on cards you are attempting to buy and re-sell. You can make offers on individual cards, or if you are trying to purchase multiple cards from the same seller, make an offer on the entire lot. After you put cards in your "cart" you can then proceed to make an offer without purchasing the card outright for full price. Typically sellers respond in 24 hours, but that can vary. Certain sellers may be willing to give you a great deal, while others may not. You'll have to feel out certain sellers to get an idea who can get cheap cards from.
If you do not have enough money to purchase an entire portfolio, and maybe only have $10-25 to spend on a flipping strategy, then browse the COMC Classified ads for 50% off sales. If a seller is advertising they are accepting 50% off, then you can simply check out their inventory and take 50% off any cards you want to purchase. A sweet spot price on that website, is purchasing cards for 90-95% off Beckett High Value. The Beckett book price is listed underneath each card for sale on COMC.
* Try to buy - re-sell cards for less then .25 cents on COMC
Why: Check Out My Cards doesn't charge to store/sell cards priced at less then .25 cents.
If a card is priced above .25 cents it will cost you .01 cent a month to store it. So 100 cards is $1.00 - 1,000 cards priced above .25 cents is $10.00 per month until sold.
Buying Portfolios
A "Port Sale" is someone who is selling every single card they have listed for sale. You typically only want to buy these when the asking price is 80-90% off "high" Beckett book value. So if a card books at $10.00 - you would be buying it for - max - $1.00-$2.00. This is a great way to add to your inventory and get great deals. I've probably purchased at least 30-40 portfolio's, some of them are big and cost $1,000+, while others may only cost $20-100. It all depends how many cards they have for sale.
COMC typically updates their classifieds about 2 or 3 times a day. All of the classified ads have to be approved by COMC so they all "pop up at once" when they update that section. Typically there are at least 2-5 new "Ports" listed for sale daily. You'll have to browse each sellers inventory to see what is junk and what is not. You'll also notice that the same sellers typically are selling Ports all the time. This common practice is where sellers will buy cards on COMC - with the sole purpose to put together a portfolio to re-sell on the classifieds. They typically buy cheaper autographs or vintage cards that still have a high Beckett book value. Sometimes these can be good deals, while often times they are not. The Ports I like are from sellers who haven't run a classified ad and are just in need of some money or want to clear inventory. You'll need to check out the classifieds section each day to get a feel for which sellers are the best to buy from.
Lastly - you have to use your best guess as far as the quality of cards. I like the cheap stuff - if possible. I sometimes don't want a bunch of autograph cards even if they are nice. Cards that are more expensive can sometimes take longer to sell. But cheap cards move all day long for the most part. I like buying key players when I have a choice - Griffey, Jordan, Magic, Jeter, the obvious names sell well and sell quickly if you have a good price. BUT - it's been my experience if you can get anyone - just about any card for less then .10 cents you've got a good chance to re-sell it if there isn't a lot of price competition.
Read the COMC Fees Page and keep in mind they charge a 20% cashout fee + 0.01 Cent Storage for cards priced over $0.25 Cents
