Saturday Night Wrap
Essendon defeated West Coast by 61 points
Essendon had the upper hand in the first half but it wasn't until the first six minutes of the third quarter that the game was blown open. Four goals in six minutes was a devastating show of scoring power from the Bombers on the way to winning 16.17 (113) to 7.10 (52).
- Stanton, Watson and Zaharakis combined for 104 disposals in a commanding midfield display.
- West Coast lost Matt Priddis to concussion, Cox and Kerr fought hardest against the onslaught.
- After speculation all week about the Eagles' tactics when being tackled, the umpiring was a non-factor albeit with the Bombers bucking this season's trend in Eagles games by coming out ahead 19-18 in the free-kick count.
Collingwood defeated Brisbane by 58 points
Collingwood at times looked like kicking away to a bigger win but 17.14 (116) to 8.10 (58) still reflects a night where the Pies dominated possession.
- The Pies shared the scoring workload with six multiple goal-kickers, led by surprise forward Tyson Goldsack who booted three.
- Brisbane had some good individual stat earners but lost the disposal count 444-310 on a night where Collingwood controlled the ball.
- Nathan Brown was subbed out with a knee injury suffered in a marking contest, which will be a major concern both in the short term with Collingwood playing Geelong this weekend and the Pies' long-term finals aspirations.
EARLIER today Adelaide thumped Geelong by 50 points and GWS won its first game, defeating Gold Coast by 27 points and Richmond out-lasted Sydney with a gutsy 29-point win.
This concludes tonight's live blog. Keep an eye on theage.com.au for match reports and analysis.

West Coast had the run in the last two minutes of the quarter but couldn't hit the scoreboard to make the half-time margin even more flattering. With Priddis concussed and out of the game, it's going to take a lock-down effort in the second half for the Eagles to snare a miracle away win.
Essendon 5.10 (40) West Coast 3.5 (23) - Q2 27.24
GOAL! Darling marks a Scott Selwood long bomb just outside the goal-square and bananas through a goal. West Coast are still clinging on against an Essendon outfit that has controlled the first half.

Brisbane 2.1 (13) Collingwood 6.4 (40) - Quarter Time

GOAL! Rich kicked a long pot-shot for goal and put it through! But wait, it's a video review...did the ball hit the top of the padding? It did not, goal for Brisbane.
Essendon 1.6 (12) West Coast 1.3 (9) - Quarter Time

GOAL! Heath Shaw snaps a goal

Richmond 11.11 (77) Sydney Swans 7.9 (51) - Q4 10.20

Richmond 11.11 (77) Sydney Swans 6.9 (45) - Q4 8.46
GOAL! Riewoldt marks on the lead, a finger-tipper in front of Richards. He converts the set shot for his fourth of the day. That should do it for the Tigers now!

Big team-lifting tackle by Jake Batchelor to stop a forward thrust from Ben McGlynn. But the Tigers need a goal to get a stunned crowd back behind them. Brandon Ellis is still yet to be activated on the bench.
Richmond 8.11 (59) Sydney Swans 6.9 (45) - Three-quarter time
So how about those Josh Kennedy Brownlow odds? 18 possessions, 13 contested and two goals including the team-lifter on the three-quarter time siren.

Richmond 8.10 (58) Sydney Swans 4.7 (31) - 18.07
GOAL! Grigg holds his nerve with a 45m set shot to relieve the pressure on Richmond after Malceski turned the ball over coming out of defensive 50m and Grigg was able to mark uncontested straight in front.

GOAL! Everitt took a mark too far out to score but Newman conceded a cheap 50m for encroaching the mark. He converts the 35m set shot from almost straight in front.
Richmond 7.10 (52) Sydney Swans 2.6 (18) - 3.30

Both substitutes, Ellis and Dennis-Lane, remain green-vested for the start of the second half.
Half-time: Richmond 7.9 (51) Sydney Swans 2.7 (19)
A great half by the Tigers. Two goals each in the second term but, importantly, Richmond's intensity hasn't dropped off. They are miles in front with uncontested possessions and overall disposals. They have laid the foundations for what will undoubtedly be labeled an important victory.

Richmond 6.6 (42) Sydney Swans 1.2 (8) - Q2 6.25

Swans get on the goal-scoring board. Daniel Hannebery scores a vital goal as the Swans seek to stay in touch.
QT: Richmond 5.6 (36) Sydney Swans 0.2 (2)
Gee whiz. What a quarter by the Tigers! Cotchin and Foley with 11 possessions each in a dominating display. Grigg and Martin just behind with 10 touches. The Richmond faithful are on their feet. Swans goalless in the opening quarter for the first time since last year's semi-final against Hawthorn.
Richmond 4.6 (30) Sydney Swans 0.2 (2) - Q1 28.02
Stunning quarter so far from Richmond. Tigers dominating the key statistics: 18 more contested possessions, 12 more tackles and their disposal efficiency is well ahead.
Richmond 3.2 (20) Sydney Swans 0.2 (2) - Q1 19.20
Two goals to Jack Riewoldt thus far. The forward is looking up and about. Genuine twilight game at the 'G with the lights off at the opening bounce.

RESURFACING of the ramps at the market multi-storey car park will take place this week, even though the car park may soon be demolished.
Leader of the council Sir Steve Houghton said a decision had yet to be made on whether to keep the car park when the market is refurbished, but said even if it were to be demolished, it will still be needed for the next '18-months or two years' so essential maintenance cannot be ignored.
The ramps, which are often used by vehicles as a shortcut through town, will be closed during working hours, 6pm to 5am, for one week beginning on Monday.
The car park will be open as normal during the day.

SPOT EM: Red-bellied woodpeckers are easily identified by their zebra-patterned backs and red caps, and not by their hard-to-see red bellies.
Drum Roll, Please
The rat-ta-tat-tat of lively black, white, and red woodpeckers add an upbeat tempo to a gray winter day.
For most of us, woodpeckers are already close to our hearts - who doesn't remember Woody Woodpecker, who pecked his way out of one impossible situation after another? But new birders have been drawn to the species since the rediscovery of the thought-to-be-extinct ivory-billed woodpecker. You won't find an ivory-billed in Dallas (if you do, call me quickly), but, especially during the winter, you will find at least five other species to keep you busy.
Thanks to big trees and creek beds scattered throughout our city, the woodpecker is easy to find. The red-bellied and the downy varieties are our most common year-round residents. In addition, they are relatively cheap dates "adding a suet or a peanut feeder to your backyard feeding station will almost guarantee an appearance by both of these entertaining birds.
If woodpeckers get one bad rap, it's that they damage and kill trees by "sucking the life" out of them. "Not so," says bird expert David Hurt of Wild Birds Unlimited. "Woodpeckers do not kill a tree, they are merely taking advantage of a sugar source much the way we humans tap maple trees for syrup."
Even though it's hard to see the red belly of the red-bellied woodpecker, they are easily recognizable by their familiar zebra-striped back and a dramatic long red stripe covering the entire crown from the bill to the nape. (That goes for the males; the head of the female is white, while the nape remains red.)
Some "winter residents" include the hairy woodpecker, which is very similar to the downy. But if you look closely, you'll find that the bill is twice as long and the hairy has no spots on outside tail feathers. Plus, they are shy and don't tend to come to feeders.
Also less common in our back yards, and uncommon to eating at feeders, are the flickers who move to Dallas for the cold months. Many, including the yellow-shafted and red-shafted flickers, have been spotted around the White Rock area and are usually spotted from October through May. From a distance, flickers are distinguished from their woodpecker cousins by the fact that flickers will hop around on the ground for food.
Not so for the yellow-bellied sapsuckers, who are seen frequently around town, but infrequently at backyard feeders. Their interesting "Z of white" head pattern and bar of white on the wing when perched makes them a grand sighting.
Even more dandy is the pileated woodpecker, the largest, well, except for the ivory-billed, of all woodpeckers. The crow-sized bird, which is mostly black except for a white stripe that zigzags from the bill down the neck and wing sides, is best know for its mop of tufted bright red feathers on top. Unless you live in east Texas, you will have to go looking for the pileated. An early morning trip along the Trinity River forest, outer city waterways lined with large trees, or the area surrounding the Fort Worth Nature Center may provide you with a splendid view of this marvelous bird. If you don't have the energy to go chasing after the pileated, just turn on your TV. The pileated was most likely used as the model by artist Walter Lantz to create the original drawing of the famous Woody Woodpecker.
How Suet It Is
Hanging a suet or a peanut (out of the shell) feeder not only provides a great source of quick energy for woodpeckers, but it is also an easy way to watch birds without the mess.
I make my own "hard" suet that can be easily cut to fit your feeder. If you're new to attracting birds, thin the recipe with a little peanut butter and slather the mixture on the bark of your trees. It won't be long before your back yard will be a swirl of black, white, and red.
1/2 cup lard (or fresh ground suet, which is usually available in Mexican markets such as Fiesta)
1/3 cup sunflower seed
2/3 cup wild birdseed mix
1/8 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup chopped raisins (If you want to get fancy, add some dried fruit.)
Melt suet in a saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool thoroughly and then reheat. Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a separate bowl. Allow suet to cool until slightly thickened. Stir nut and seed mixture into the suet. Pour into a pie or square pan and allow to cool before slicing.

I fear lately we have become a nation of lost sheep. I'm reminded of the old parable on the subject that goes like this: "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance." Luke 15:3-7
While the parable is supposed to be a comment on helping our fellow man, one has to understand that sheep, much like humans, come in different flavors. Generally, sheep are a natural herd animal; they physically stick together, eat together, sleep in groups and rarely wander too far from the flock. Occasionally, one will roam far afield and almost always find trouble.
It seems our government, particularly Congress and the current Administration, has assumed the role of head sheepherder with the intent of making sure we stay close to the flock, waiting anxiously for the head sheepherder to feed us. The effort to turn our country into a nation of sheep started quietly in 1965 with the advent of the Great Society programs. Like many government driven feel-good programs, there were some good parts to this movement, but also some bad. The end result after two generations appears to be a society where self-reliance has been replaced with standing at the trough waiting for handouts and bleating when we don't get them.
The sheepherder mentality didn't stop with the Great Society. In 1977, the Community Reinvestment Act, a broadly written law that included the concept that everyone should own a home, resulted in government pressure on banks and other lending institutions to relax lending standards. This insanity was followed by the debacle of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, quasi-government-private industry partnerships that gave new meaning to corruption and political philandering during the last two decades. By 2005, sub-prime lending included nearly half of all loans and set the stage for the eventual collapse of the housing market in 2007. Not surprisingly, progressive liberals cried for more government intervention, blindly denying what caused the problem in the first place.
It's time to stop giving away the farm. Take a look at the countries that have embraced cradle to grave entitlements and spent their way into financial insolvency. Is this the future of the United States? Isn't it time we celebrate the ninety-nine who need no repentance?

The French Riviera is best known for its weather and beaches rather than its ice rinks. But for the second time in 12 years, Nice will play host to the World Figure Skating Championships.
In an unprecedented move in the summer of 1999, the International Skating Union (ISU) reassigned the 2000 World Championships from its original location in Brisbane, Australia to Nice, France.
"In less than six months, we were able to stage a world-class competition, but Russia recently proved to the skating family they could do it faster. So we will have no excuse if we fail," said Didier Gailhaguet, president of the Fédération Française des Sports de Glace (FFSG) in reference to the fact that Russian authorities organized 2011 Worlds in less than six weeks.
Those who attended the millennium Championships will likely remember the venue. "The Acropolis Exposition Hall will once again host the event. The good thing with this venue is that we can build the interior from scratch according to our wishes," Gailhaguet told IFS.
"The low note is the cost of creating everything. We rushed in 2000 and we made some mistakes, but the economy has changed since then and we cannot afford to repeat those errors."
The price tag for hosting Worlds is expected to be the equivalent of US$10 million, twice the FFSG budget.
The French bid for 2012 Worlds has many positives, said ISU Chair Sports Directorate Peter Krick following the official site visit in late June. "Having within a radius of 60 yards the competition rink, practice rink and the athletes' accommodation facilities is something rarely achieved. I am already thrilled to imagine ourselves being there next March," Krick explained.
"And for those who will have official accreditations, they will be able to use a new and efficient mass transportation system at no cost."
More than 52,000 tickets were sold in 2000, and Gailhaguet is expecting a much bigger attendance in 2012, perhaps double. "Half of the tickets will likely be sold to the subjects of Nice," he said. "Another 25 percent will be purchased by the rest of the French population, which will mean only 25 percent of the audience will be foreign fans."
It is anticipated that the venue will accommodate approximately 10,000 people.
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, wants visitors to know that Nice is not only a seaside resort but also a winter sports haven. Alpine ski resorts are less than an hour's drive from Nice.
With access to the second-largest international airport in France, many visitors to Nice will be able to reach the French Riviera without connecting via Paris.
"Economically, the event could represent 46,000 hotel nights overall," Gailhaguet said. "This could help us to balance the budget. It justifies why the city of Nice, the Communauté urbaine (the urban community of Nice Côte d'Azur) and the Conseil général des Alpes-Maritimes (General Council) are financially supporting us."
Estrosi admitted that a low-cost event in Nice is not an option. But, he said, "A competition like this is the best way to promote the sport, and the FFSG has decided to renew the initiative it took in 2000. At that time, there were qualifying rounds for ladies and men. Skaters were complaining because they were competing to empty seats. In 2000, we invited schoolchildren that cheered not only the stars but also supported the unknowns. Everyone was very appreciative."
France Télévisions, the host broadcaster, is expected to introduce the Sky-Cam, which has only been used once in figure skating coverage at a World Championships (ESPN first used the camera at the 2006 Worlds in Calgary). Also nicknamed "Spider-Cam" (because it is wire-linked to four poles), this camera allows angles and shots to be taken above the ice.
If Evan Lysacek and Evgeni Plushenko return to competition, Nice may well provide the opportunity of a lifetime. It will be the first time in history that the last two Olympic men's champions have reconvened on competitive ice.
No doubt two former and current World champions (Brian Joubert, Daisuke Takahashi and Patrick Chan) will also be part of this battle of stars.
At press time, the FFSG and France Télévisions were awaiting the final approval of their programming proposals: ice dance free on Thursday night, pairs free on Friday night, men's free on Saturday afternoon and ladies free on Saturday night.
If you have not yet made any plans, our favorite skating tour operators have a variety of options to choose from.

How do emotions like happiness, pain, stress, sadness and fatigue vary during travel and by travel mode? Understanding the relationship between how we travel and how we feel offers insight into ways of improving existing transportation services, prioritizing investments and theorizing and modeling the costs and benefits of travel. Drawing on the American Time Use Survey's well-being module, which surveyed over 13,000 respondents about mood during randomly selected activities, we address these questions using pooled ordinary least squares and fixed-effects panel regression. Controlling for demographics and other individual-specific attributes, we find that, contrary to the common perception that travel is an onerous, derived demand, mood is generally no worse during travel than on average. However, compared to other influences, travel has only a small total impact on how we feel. The estimated relationship between mood and mode tends to be weak and often not statistically significant. Nevertheless, we find that bicyclists have the most positive affect. Next happiest are car passengers, and then car drivers, though when controlling for the pleasure typically derived from interacting with others drivers are at least as happy as passengers. Bus and train riders experience the most negative emotions, though a small part of this can be attributed to the fact that transit is disproportionately used for the unloved work trip. Our findings suggest that bicycle use may have benefits beyond the typically cited health and transportation ones, and that improving transit riders' emotional experience may be as important as improving traditional service features such as headways and travel speeds. Our findings are ambiguous as to whether the joy of driving will limit the appeal of autonomous vehicles.

Recycled clothing is a great principle!
Did you know that a typical American discards over 25kgs (56lbs) in weight of clothes and shoes per year?
A quick calculation and this turns into 9 million tons of clothing of just clothes & shoes which are in some way recycled each year!
(Photo credit Matthew McDermott)
By anybodys standard that's a huge amount of clothing! It's increasing every year, this volume is forecasted to continue increasing by +5% a year!
The era of "disposable fashion" is firmly upon us!
This recycled clothing takes on a new life in the following ways:
According to market sources around 50% of the items received by the "textile recyclers" are exported & the balance split fairly evenly between turning into cleaning rags & total recycled into padding!
(photo credit Ronald Duenas)
But - there is also another way, recycled clothing or "second-life clothing" is the principle of making new clothes from parts of other clothes.
For example, two different shirts sewn together or scraps of material sewn into a skirt. I've done online searches for these clothes and have been disappointed by the results. I found items that were way overpriced in my mind - $160 for a recycled skirt is a bit much.
The more affordable items I found looked like rags sewn together. They just didn't have the finished style that I prefer. You may find some items to your liking but I was sadly disappointed with recycled clothes.
Separate and apart from this type of second life clothing is clothing made from recycled bottles and other man-made materials.
These are interesting fabrics but are not yet mainstream. Right now you can find this type of item in bulk orders through screen printing companies.
Overall, I would say this category of eco friendly fashion has yet to become a style statement and is behind the other types of eco-friendly clothing.
One exception is a company called Reco Jeans which produces jeans made partially from recycled denim. Celebs Alanis Morrissette and Woody Harrelson have teamed up to promote this new eco line of jeans.
However although these jeans carry one of the highest percentages of recycled material in the jean industry, it is still only about 10% recycled material.
The issue is that recycled denim fibers are weaker than new denim and must be supplemented with new denim fibers in order to produce jeans that do not tear easily.
If you know of, or you make, a fashionable line of recycled clothing or second life clothing please let me know. I would love to share the information with my readers.

The photo above is from a fashion show in Dallas featuring innovative fashion made from recycled items.
There is a growing trend to make crafts (and even selling them if you get good enough!) out of recycled clothing and other items such as plastic bags, pop can lids, and scrap fabrics. People are making and selling cool wall art, handbags, and even jewellry,
Watch for these items at your local farmers market.

"Bachelor" host Chris Harrison has been the host of the show since it first started and it sounds like he knows what works. In fact, the show has made millions and it continues to get high ratings. People who have been on the show have become close friends and it seems that single people want to be a part of the in-crowd. According to a new report published on March 4, "Bachelor" host Chris Harrison has said some interesting things about the show recently, which includes him alienating bigger people and gays from participating on the show.
It sounds like Harrison wants to protect his success, meaning only certain people can go on the show. And if you want to be on the show, you should jump on the treadmill and lose some weight. When asked if a chubby person would ever be chosen, he said, "No. You know why? Because that's not attractive, and television is a very visual medium," he explained. "And I know that sounds horrible to say, but I know that at 42, in the eyes of television, I'm old and unattractive. Sure, I can put a suit and tie on, but I have hair on my chest and I don't have a 12-pack. I live a healthy life, but I don't do eight hours in the gym, nor do I want to. And I don't eat 50,000 egg whites."
And this isn't the only controversial thing he has said. He has essentially said that he won't be putting gay people on the show, when straight couples seem to be making money In a previous interview, he said, "Look, if you've been making pizzas for 12 years, and you've made millions of dollars, and everybody loves your pizzas, and someone comes and says, 'Hey, you should make hamburgers.' Why?" Chris revealed. "I have a great business model, and I don't know if hamburgers are going to sell." He added, "I am 100 percent for equality and gay marriage."
Do you think it is odd that he is choosing money over using the platform to spread the word about gay marriage?

My quick take from the New Orleans Saints' 31-24 victory against the Tennessee Titans on Friday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome:
Rob Ryan had to love the way Kenny Vaccaro ball-hawked in the first half. The second-year safety forced two fumbles, one nullified by penalty, with savvy, well-timed strips of Delanie Walker and Shonn Greene. The first fumble was negated when officials overturned the call on the field and ruled Walker did not have possession of the ball before fumbling, but the effort was nonetheless admirable.
Undaunted, Vaccaro came back a couple of series later and stripped Greene from behind to set up a Saints touchdown. Vaccaro has enjoyed a great preseason and is blossoming into a star. He's becoming a leader on the field, exactly what the Saints' defense needs in its overhauled secondary. He's the subject of my column from the game.
Vaccaro's heroics kick-started a takeaway spree. The Saints added four more turnovers the rest of the way. The Saints haven't forced five turnovers in a preseason game since 2002 (vs. Miami). Good things happen when defenders run to the football and the Saints found that out Friday night. Takeaways have been a point of emphasis throughout the offseason and the Saints finally enjoyed the fruits of all their hard work.
Rookie defensive backs Stanley Jean-Baptiste and Vinnie Sunseri contributed to the turnover-fest. Jean-Baptiste was gifted a fumble recovery when Titans receiver Derek Hagan juggled a pass reception into his hands. Sunseri has been somewhat overlooked in the Saints' secondary but he enjoyed a banner night.
Joe Morgan enjoyed a breakout performance with a three-catch, 104-yard effort, showing the deep speed and big-play ability he had before suffering a season-ending knee injury last season. Morgan's ability to make explosive plays will make it difficult for the Saints to release him. If you made a list of the 10 best catches by a Saints wide receiver in the past three years, Morgan would have three of them.
When the Saints weren't forcing turnovers, they were struggling to stop Tennessee. Titans quarterbacks Jake Locker and Zach Mettenberger riddled the Saints' depleted secondary for 344 passing yards and three touchdowns. They combined to complete 78 percent of their passes. The Saints' secondary played without three of its top players, Jairus Byrd, Champ Bailey and Patrick Robinson, and it showed. The Saints looked a step behind most of the night and failed to get their hands on enough balls. Let's not forget, this wasn't Peyton Manning they were playing against. Ryan will have plenty to talk about in his defensive meeting room this week.
A serious case of yellow fever infected the Saints for much of the night. The ugliness started early and didn't abate for four quarters. They finished with a mind-boggling 22 penalties for 184 yards, and that doesn't count three penalties that were called on them but declined by the Titans. The Saints committed two penalties on the same snap twice. Such sloppiness is unacceptable, even by preseason standards.
If this were a isolated incident it'd be easy to dismiss, but the Saints had 10 penalties for 104 yards in Week 1 vs. St. Louis. Rest assured, Sean Payton will address the sloppy play in film study. It won't be fun for the offenders.

Irene did not make landfall in Florida, but strong waves generated by the storm are being blamed for two deaths on the east coast of Florida.
In Volusia County, 55 year old Frederick Fernandez was standing in Shallow water with his surfboard. Witnesses say a massive wave threw him head first into the sand. A rescue crew performed CPR, but the man died at a local hospital. IN Flagler County, 55 year old James Plamer from New Jersey also died Saturday in rough surf.
Family members say they lost sight of him after he waded into the surf.

Internet Explorer 7 is here!
Today Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 browser software. It has a lot of great new features, including tabs for easy navigation and RSS feeds built right in.
According to my site statistics and some other online resources, a vast majority of online users are using some version of Internet Explorer (over 80%), so this release impacts a lot of people.
You can read more about it, and download it, at the Microsoft site. Or, if you wait a few weeks, Microsoft will begin adding it to its Windows Update automated program and you'll get it automatically.
Special note: you must turn off your anti-virus software before installing IE7, install IE7, then reboot your PC.

What Is "Cream of Tartar??"
I was in the grocery store the other day, standing near the customer service counter. A woman in her late 30s came up to the counter and asked, "Where can I find Cream of Tartar? My son needs it for a science project."
The customer service person (who was in her early 20s) looked lost. She didn't know what Cream of Tartar was either. I piped up and told her it was in the baking aisle, and that it was a white powder in a bottle.
Cream of Tartar, for those who are curious, is used for baking. It's been around for nearly 200 years (or possibly more). Baking powder is made up of baking soda plus cream of tartar. I can remember my grandmother and mother using it, and every Christmas I dutifully buy a bottle of it to bake Christmas cookies.
So why didn't this woman know what it was? And why didn't the grocery store employee know what it was? Because, according to an article I read recently, this current generation is the first generation of people who don't know how to cook or bake. They use pre-packaged foods and microwave them (or order out). Their mothers and fathers didn't cook, so they never learned how.
Lesson For The Business Owner: Just because you sell something doesn't mean that people:
- Know what it is
- Know what it's used for
- Know where to find it
- Know how to use it in their daily life
The key here isn't to bash the generation of people who don't know how to cook. It's to understand that you, as the small business owner, have to pay attention to your customers' needs, and educate them if necessary.
The moral of the story is:
- Know what your customers need (instead of guessing)
- Educate them on your products and services so they undertand why and how they can use them.
- If they aren't going to use your products in the originally-intended fashion, figure out other creative uses for them (like a science project) or dump the services and products and find new ones that fulfill a need
And next time you go into the baking aisle, take a look around. It just might be a whole new world for you and a strong reminder of generational changes affecting a whole industry!

My First Book!
We all say, "I should write a book on that subject." I said it, too -- for 10 years! And now I'm proud to announce my first book: Designing Effective Workshops and Teleclasses: 7 Proven Steps to Creating Classes Students Will Love.
After teaching the Designing Effective Workshops class to hundreds of students, I finally took everything I knew, plus the comments and suggestions from my students, and put it together in a book.
And what a great book it is! It's a straight-forward, practical, step-by-step system for designing and marketing classes, workshops and teleclasses.
- Have you wanted to create workshops and teleclasses but didn't know how to get started?
- Do you want to re-design existing classes to make them shine?
- Are you interested in learning how to market and administer your teleclass for best results?
And thank you to everyone who was so kind as to send along their congratulations on my first book. It IS like giving birth to a baby! :)

Unite Fitness Retreat (Unite) offers people the opportunity to get away to Salt Lake City to learn about health, fitness and nutrition. The program provides one on one training in a personalized program that takes advantage of the outdoor activities that Utah has to offer year round, including hiking, snow-showing and kayaking.
Unite's offerings include wellness programs, fitness programs and extreme weight loss programs. Guests, who come from all over the world, stay in Salt Lake City for one to 18 weeks depending on individual need.
"There are other wellness and fitness retreats," says CEO Drew Paulos. "What makes us different is that we bring on fewer people. It makes for a much more effective stay."
Life coaching and mental wellness aspects of the program provide guests with the right frame of mind to become fitter.
"Being healthy revolves around how you feel about you," says Paulos.
Those who complete the program receive from four to 12 weeks of after-care, which includes help with setting up a comfortable routine and getting rid of the unhealthy food items in the home.
"Nutrition's a big thing," says Paulos. It's an 80-20 ratio nutrition to fitness when it comes to healthier lifestyles.
Unite works with Cantu's Culinary Creations, another local business, to provide healthy meals while the guests are on site.
According to Paulos, guests leave Unite feeling reinvigorated and reinspired to be healthier.
"I wanted to be involved in a business that really did give something back," says Paulos. Unite gives people a new lease on life.

If you are an MS Outlook user, you can immediately recognize these messages –
These messages indicate an issue familiar to most of the Outlook users – the corruption of Outlook Data File (PST). The corruption or damage of PST files makes its items – emails, attachments, contacts, notes, calendar, journals etc. – inaccessible to Outlook users.
Hardware or software issues can be behind the corruption of Outlook PST files. Hard disk damages, media corruption, file-header corruption, broken PST file, networking faults, power failures, improper Outlook exits, 2 GB limitation errors, and virus attacks are the commonly observed reasons behind the corruption of Outlook PST files.
Outlook Data File (PST), the store house of the Outlook data, needs your special attention if you want to keep your email communication uninterrupted. The steps given below are simple and are easily implementable. But they are extremely effective in reducing the chances of Outlook PST corruption.
1. Always exit Outlook properly
It is very simple - do not close or shut down Outlook application abruptly. Exit it properly and wait for it to close on its own. Before shutting down the system, always check if the Outlook is running or not. Shut down your system only after the proper closing of MS Outlook.
Note: Always have a power backup in place. It helps to exit Outlook properly even when there is a power failure.
2. Do not save PST file on a server or in a network drive
PST files have maximum safety and security on your computer. So do not try to save them on a server or on a network drive.
3. Do not handle large volumes of emails in a single operation
Be patient while performing email operations like copying, moving, and deleting. Do not copy, move or delete emails in large numbers. Instead do these operations in many repeated steps.
4. Keep PST file size in check
Users of earlier versions of Outlook should strictly adhere to this one (The maximum possible PST file size in Outlook versions prior to 2003 version is only 2 GB. But in Outlook 2003 and 2007 it is 20 GB. In Outlook 2010 and 2013, this limit is pre-configured to be 50 GB). It is better to keep the PST file size well below what is permitted. If required, split PST files to keep its size in check.
5. Be alert against virus attacks
Be careful while sharing PST files. Use a good, quick anti-virus program in your system, and ensure that it is not harmful to PST files. Also, ensure that only virus-free applications are there in your system.
6. Backup the PST file periodically
Always be prepared against disasters. Keep backups regularly, so that disasters can cause no permanent damage to the email communication system.
Outlook files can become corrupt in spite of all precautions. It is not desirable to leave mailbox items to a state of inaccessibility, after the events of corruption. MS Outlook has some inbuilt features with it to fix minor corruption PST corruption issues. The most widely used among them is the Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe). However, this Scanpst.exe inbuilt tool is not successful in repairing serious PST file corruptions. Instead of this, third-party tools like Kernel for Outlook PST Repair facilitates professional recovery of inaccessible items from corrupt Outlook PST files.
Kernel for Outlook PST Repair is designed to fix Outlook PST corruption issues instantly. It recovers and restores Outlook mailbox items like emails, attachments, contacts, calendar, notes, and journals completely and accurately. It helps to fix PST size limitation errors, and to recover deleted Outlook items. Because of its user-friendly interface and descriptive screens, users can fix the PST corruption issues very quickly and easily.
Not many software solutions are available for free evaluation before you purchase them. But Kernel for Outlook PST Repair is available for you in free evaluation version. Download it and check its recovery capabilities by yourself. It recovers email items and displays them for a preview, while saving only first 25 email items from each folder of the recovered PST file. But to save the entire mailboxes of recovered items without restrictions into the desired location, you need to have the full version of the software. So purchase it after the free trial.

Tony DiGerolamos Jersey Devil #9
South Jersey Rebellion Publications
Author: Tony DiGerolamo
Pencilers: Dorm LaGrutta Jr. and Brian S. Dawson
Inker: Barry Chabala
Reviewed by Sidra Roberts
What in the devil is the Jersey Devil one might ask? Well, that's a question I myself had. So I decided to visit the South Jersey Rebellion Publication site in order to find out. The Jersey Devil is apparently a 300 year old folkloric figure said to herald war. The Jersey Devil was blamed like many common bogeymen for animal mutilations and other miscellaneous things. The myths and convoluted stories surrounding the Jersey Devil are numerous and in this series Tony DiGerolamo explores this myths with entertaining gusto that rivals a storyteller sitting up in front of a group of children spinning a story of adventure before their very eyes.
Jersey Devil #9 is a slight departure from the usual formula; it takes place in 2135 in an earth that has accidentally blown itself into oblivion in an era when world peace looked like it was about to be a reality. In this futuristic earth the only things left are the Dream Machine or DM, mutants, cyborgs, robots, and your occasional fuedal lord.
The protagonist in this story is a flunky of the DM named Juan. Juan's only friend is his weapon named Gun. Gun is much much smart than Juan could ever hope to be. Juan runs into an old warlord who tells him to discontinue heading down the road that he Juan is traveling and settle down with friends and family.
Were does the Jersey Devil fit into this? Well, I'm glad you asked. Juan decides to take the ex-warlord's advice and make friends. Except Juan has no clue how to make friends. Gun suggests that Juan research how to make friends so Juan goes into the comic shop that is left in this futuristic hell-hole. There he learns all his friend making abilities from the Jersey Devil comics. Can we see the problems unfolding now?
Do Juan actually make "friends" and settle down or does he continue on his warlord ways, if you want to know pick up this fascinating series by South Jersey Rebellion Publications and don't forget to come back next month for a review of Jersey Devil #10.
