Mark Mugleston. Editor's Note.
- Date of Incorporation: September 2009
- Location: Provo, Utah
- Industry (Yahoo Finance): Internet Software & Services
- Employees: 12
- Website: www.snowwebsolutions.com
This issue of Mormon Entrepreneur highlights three fantastic entrepreneurs in our community: Rich Christiansen, Jay Bean, and Dave Bascom. Their companies, CastleWave, OrangeSoda, and SEO.com, respectively speaking, are three of the largest and fastest growing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) companies in the world. All were founded in Utah Valley and each has been awarded as a "Top 25 Under Five" by the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum.
If you are unfamiliar with SEO, I would encourage you to read "Search Engine Optimization" found at Wikipedia.com to get an overview of this topic. Reading the first section should give you a good picture of what SEO is about before reading our interviews. If you're a more technically minded person and you want a bit more before starting this issue, I would recommend that you read "Beginner's Guide – What is SEO?" found at seomoz.com.
In this issue, my interviews with Dave Bascom and Jay Bean follow the tell-me-about-your-business-and-industry format found in our first issue: I probe for light and they enlighten our entrepreneurial path. Their interviews are brilliant. My interview with Rich Christiansen varies slightly from this format. Instead of talking about CastleWave and the intricacies of SEO, I chose to interview Rich about his new book Bootstrap Business, co-authored by Ron E. Porter.
Some time ago, Rich decided to pour all of his entrepreneurial knowledge into one straight-forward book for aspiring entrepreneurs. Though this task was more difficult than originally expected, he persisted and came out with one fantastic business survival guide. He shares, in one of our conversations, "Anyone can start a $600,000+ business. It's easy. Anyone can do this by following the principals in this book." —and Rich isn't joking! To prove this point, Rich and Ron founded CastleWave as a test case for the principals found in Bootstrap. Three years later, CastleWave is now generating over $110,000 monthly sales revenue at a 65 percent profit margin. Yikes!
Rich's success with CastleWave and Bootstrap is the perfect segway for a new exciting feature for Mormon Entrepreneur: book summaries. In this issue, we provide a thorough summary of Bootstrap Business. Learn how to filter through business ideas with Rich's business-evaluation toolkit and to hone in on principals essential to your success. Do you like it! We plan on summarizing one book, preferably recommended by one of our entrepreneurs, in every issue of Mormon Entrepreneur.
Thank you again for visiting Mormon Entrepreneur. We hope that you will enjoy this issue on Search Engine Optimization.

In the past, I've contributed madelines, rice pudding, scones, and more scones to our tea parties, but this week I went for something different - biscotti - because I've been dying to try a new recipe since that awesome hazelnut chocolate batch. I needed something a bit more subdued, though, to pair with tea rather than coffee, and in the midst of packing I came upon a Martha Stewart Living from last July. Lo and behold, in the back there was a recipe for Cardamom Biscotti. Perfect.
What follows is my version of this recipe. I haven't changed much about the ingredients (I did go with toasted amonds rather than blanced), but the instructions were pretty hard to follow, so I've clarified them here. Personally, I think anyone should be able to bake, not just people with the experience to know that "mix flour into wet ingredients" means to replace the whisk with the paddle attachment, then add flour a little bit at a time. Come on, Martha. You're better than that.
Cardamom Almond Biscotti (adapted from Martha Stewart Living)
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 3 3/4 ounces toasted almonds, chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white, for wash
- 2 tablespoons sanding sugar
- Put rack in center of oven and preheat to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
- Pulse toasted almonds in a food processor until chopped fine. Whisk the following into the flour mixture: almonds, cardamom, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla until foamy. Make a small indent in the middle of the flour mixture, then pour in eggs and vanilla. Mix with hands or wooden spoon until all the flour is incorporated, and a soft dough has formed.
- Lightly flour work surface, and transfer dough to it.
- Using as little flour as is necessary, roll dough into an oblong log. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silpat. Flatten the log out by gently pressing on the top with the heel of your hand.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the log is just the slightest bit golden and lightly cracked, then remove from oven.
- Lightly beat egg white and brush onto biscotti. Sprinkle log with sanding sugar, and place back in oven for 15 minutes.
- When log is golden brown and slightly hard to the touch, remove from oven and let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Transfer biscotti log to a cutting board, and cut into it at an angle using a sharp, serrated knife. The slices should be approximately an inch thick.
- Put a wire rack onto the baking sheet and arrange slices, flat side down, on the rack. Bake until crisp and devoid of moisture, 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy with tea.

This time is different. Government employees are now being vilified by the press and Congress that have tried to paint us as all making over $100,000 dollars and having great benefits. Most of us in the rank and file do not make anywhere near that amount and most have benefit packages less than the public sector....

Whether you're an uber music nerd straight out of High Fidelity, a ten-year-old obsessed with Rock Band, or a diehard metal fanatic, METAL EVOLUTION is your ultimate exploration of the vast, multi-generational phenomenon that is heavy metal music (and will serve as the definitive visual document for generations to come).
Heavy Metal is a massively successful and influential beast of a music genre that, despite decade after decade of critical derision, has not only endured but flourished. METAL EVOLUTION features the much-debated 'Metal History Family Tree'; this sub-genre genealogical chart reveals the vast complex progeny of heavy metal, from early metal and shock rock to thrash, from progressive metal to grunge and nu metal. Using the chart as his road map, our host - metalhead turned anthropologist Sam Dunn - will crisscross the globe in search of the very essence of metal. From bars and back alleys to the biggest open air festivals, Sam will visit the pioneers of British and American hard rock who laid metal's sonic foundation.
Highlighting the series will be Sam's in-depth discussions with many of music's most important and influential personalities. From Alice Cooper to Slash, Lemmy to Rob Zombie and members of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Slayer, Van Halen, Def Leppard, The Stooges, ZZ Top, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Rage Against the Machine, Alice in Chains, Korn, Lamb of God and many more, Sam will investigate the history, myths and intricacies of Metal.

Lilah performed for the Visions Empowerment event that was given to support and show encouragement for the youth. The event was given at the Stetson Hall in Randolph Massachusetts on April 15, 2011.
A lot of people from Randolph and the surrounding communities came out to be a part of the event. The night started out with a prayer and then members of the Vision Tabernacle Church performed a song.
Terry Andrade from Hip Hop Reality who is a strong community supporter hosted the event that evening while DJ Dizzy was on the turntables.
There were a lot of performers that night Lilah, The Scope Dance Troupe, P.U.N.C'S who is a gospel female rapper, Laquandra Seymore and other performers. Special guest appearance and performance by DJ Akrobatik from JAM'N 94.5 who also spoke to the youth about staying in school, staying positive and pursuing their dreams never giving up.
During intermission members of the church and community gathered together to talk and make new friends. I was such a joyous occasion and night to remember. I was very proud to be a part of such an important event that involved the uniting of our youth, empowering each other to stay positive, and make the right decisions for their future.

HOUSTON (AP) - Tackle Tony Boselli, expected to anchor the Houston Texans' offensive line this season, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder Monday.
Team physician Dr. Walter Lowe performed the surgery to release scarring in the area of the anterior and posterior shoulder joint, which limited Boselli's rehabilitation from an earlier surgery.
Boselli, obtained by the Texans in the NFL expansion draft, has been recovering from surgery on both shoulders. He's expected to be ready for the upcoming season.
Lowe said he didn't expect the procedure to delay Boselli's rehabilitation time. He said a timetable for recovery will be better determined in four to six weeks.
Boselli, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, played in three games last season with Jacksonville. He had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right shoulder on Oct. 15, and arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder on Nov. 7.

If your camera have more than 11 Mpxl, I think they will be useless with this lens. The picture is not sharp at all at 1:1 zoom. It is less sharp at the edges and it have allot of chromatic distortions. I found the zoom very stiff. It is also relatively heavy. The autofocus is noisy when used in video. I returned it to B and H for a refund. I realized rarely make pictures above 150mm so I buy the 18-105mm Nikon lens. This is a sharp lens.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

This lens has become my most widely used optic on my Sony a700. It may not be quite as sharp as equivalent zoom and prime lenses, but the outstanding distortion control and range more than make up for this. The macro performance is impressive, and the weight balances nicely with the a700. I just LOVE the optical stabilization when looking through the viewfinder! After further testing, I have found that this lens is much sharper than I ever expected and the bokeh is very nice. Sharp ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

The Louisiana Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty is a grassroots coalition dedicated to achieving non-violent and effective alternatives to the death penalty. We recognize that Louisiana's death penalty is socially, racially and economically unjust. We believe that the state's limited resources should be channeled into local communities to prevent crime and better support families affected by murder.
New Yorker Article: "Revenge Killing: Race and the death penalty in a Louisiana parish"
The New Yorker has published an in-depth look at the death penalty in Caddo Parish, which is responsible for more death sentences in the past five years than any other jurisdiction in Louisiana.
In a piece titled, "Revenge Killing: Race and the death penalty in a Louisiana parish," author Rachel Aviv examines the case of Rodricus Crawford, an African-American man who was recently sentenced to death in Caddo for the murder of his one-year-old son. The District Attorney's office pursued charges against Crawford even after receiving a medical report that suggested the victim actually died of pneumonia.
The forensic pathologist who authored that report told Aviv that there "wasn't enough evidence to even put this before a jury. You didn't have anybody who thought this guy committed murder except for one pathologist who decided that it was homicide on what seemed like a whim."
Aviv notes that 77% of people sentenced to death in Caddo in the past 40 years have been black, and nearly half were convicted of killing white victims. A white person has never been sentenced to death for killing a black person.

Louisiana's Capital Punishment Fiscal Impact Commission, which was established by the legislature in 2014, will be studying the costs associated with the state's death penalty system over the course of this year. Subcommittees have been created to examine costs related to the prosecution, defense, and housing of defendants in capital cases compared to non-capital cases. In Louisiana, first-degree murder carries possible penalties of death or life in prison without the possibility of parole. The Commission's next meeting is set for February 25th.

Glenn Ford Becomes Louisiana's 10th Death Row Exoneree
Prosecutors Join Defense in Motion to Vacate Conviction; Believe Another Man Committed Crime
Glenn Ford sat on Louisiana's death row for nearly 30 years for a crime he did not commit. Caddo Parish prosecutors recently agreed to join the defense in asking to vacate Ford's conviction and death sentence, stating in their motion to a Caddo court that:
"the state now believes whatever the involvement of Glenn Ford in the robbery or murder of Isadore Rozeman, the new information, if known at the time of the trial, would reasonably have resulted in a different outcome. … Indeed, if the information had been within the knowledge of the state, Glenn Ford might not even have been arrested or indicted for this offense."
According to Andrew Cohen at The Atlantic, Ford is one of the longest-serving death row inmates in modern American history to be exonerated and released. Cohen condemns the system that wrongfully put Ford on death row in the first place:
"Prosecutors believe the recent account of a confidential informant who claims that one of other four original co-defendants in the case, arrested long ago along with Ford, was actually the person who shot and killed Rozeman. This is not news to Ford. For three decades, stuck in inhumane conditions on death row in the state's notorious Angola prison, he has insisted that he had nothing to do with the murder and that he was involved in the case only after the fact.
Any exoneration is remarkable, of course. Any act of justice after decades of injustice is laudable. It is never too late to put to right a wrong. But what also is striking about this case is how weak it always was, how frequently Ford's constitutional rights were denied, and yet how determined Louisiana's judges were over decades to defend an indefensible result."
Caddo Parish continues to try more capital cases and sentence more people to death in the State of Louisiana than any other parish.
Nachitoches Man Willard Allen Has Conviction and Death Sentence Overturned
Court Allowed Biased Juror to Sit on Jury
The Associated Press reports that U.S. District Judge Dee D. Drell of Alexandria granted Willard Allen's petition to have his 1994 murder conviction and death sentence overturned on February 17, 2014 after finding that a biased juror was allowed to sit on Allen's jury.
The federal judge found that the juror could not consider giving Allen a life sentence and was "never otherwise rehabilitated, nor did he ever indicate he would weigh the evidence and/or decide the case fairly and impartially." The Court ruled, "Accordingly, we find petitioner's unreliable conviction cannot be the basis for criminal punishment, much less a sentence of death. ... he has met his burden to have that conviction vacated and for a new trial."
According to the Associated Press,
Drell returned the case to state court with instructions to conduct a bail hearing within 45 days of the judgment. In addition, the state has 270 days to decide whether to retry the case. If that doesn't happen, the judge said, the state must "unconditionally discharge petitioner from custody," he wrote.

Juries Reject the Death Penalty in Louisiana
Since the beginning of 2012, Louisiana juries have repeatedly rejected the death penalty in capital trials, reflecting a national trend in declining numbers of new death sentences. There was only 1 new death sentence in Louisiana in 2012 (a resentence) and 2 new death sentences in 2013. All of these came from a single parish, Caddo Parish.
In the cases of Kenneth Barnes (Orleans Parish), Samuel Jordan (Caddo Parish), Christopher Cope (Caddo Parish), Daniel Prince (Acadia Parish), and Barry Edge (St. Tammany) defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole rather than the death penalty following the sentencing phase of their capital trials.
Nationally, death sentences are at an all-time low. The number of new death sentences in 2014 was the lowest in the modern era of the death penalty.

Beautiful picture! I love how the red nails and lipstick compliment the rose. Subtle, but it really completes the picture.
This is a wonderful piece of art here! The lighting is lovely; something about it lends an olde-fashioned feel to the photo. It's really a beautiful photo, that deserves more attention!
I love this photograph. The lighting and editing that you did was a key factor. It made everything slightly grayer, but somehow the colors were more vivid and intensified. I also loved the red on her arm, it tells a story, almost. This picture in itself is a story, which I really appreciate in photography. That look in her big eyes, the hunched shoulders, the clutching of the rose. It's all so beautiful. And she is a beautiful girl, which you really made stand out in the picture. Also, I love how she's in the corner and behind the trees. And you also allowed a bit of bare sky, which I liked. Also love the twisting and curling of the branches. AND HER HAIR! *girl moment*
All in all, fantastic!
All in all, fantastic!
i can't believe how beautifully you wrote this lines...thank you...thank you...
This is great. There's so much to love.
hoo This photo is very beautifull and original! I like
Wow, this is so very beautiful, I love the color scheme and the expression of the model. Nicely done!

The Japan-America Society of Washington, DC picked the warmest day of the year for its 54th Annual Sakura Matsuri – Japanese Street Festival this year. On Saturday, April 12, crowds went out in the sun on Pennsylvania Avenue in downtown Washington for the ritual part of the National Cherry Blossom Festival to enjoy Japanese food and culture.
Plenty of Japanese and non-Japanese merchandise was for sale, including clothing, jewelry and food, ranging from wasabi peas to make-your-own cotton candy. Even McDonald's was providing coffee samples.
It was almost too nice a day and the place too crowded. Around 1:30 p.m., you had to wait in line 10 minutes to use the port-a-potty. But from the line, you could see the entertaiment, so it wasn't completely lost time.
Much worse, however, were the exorbitantly long lines you had to wait in to get some Japanese food. It took 84 minutes in a snaking line to get an octopus sample and some Japanese noodles. I saw a few women suffer from the heat – no shade in these lines, and not many tables to eat at. You had to sit on the curb. But at least people were going for the appropriate cuisine – the lines for gyros and cheeseburgers were much shorter.
I'd been attending this festival in previous years and it had never gotten so crowded. A few chairs were placed in front of the stages but most attendees had to stand in the sun to watch performances, ranging from dance to drumming to Japanese punk rock.
The society add a new Japanese Culinary Arts Pavilion this year featuring cooking demos and samples. But the tent was rather small for the number of attendees. Saw a presentation on different types of sake and a demo on how to make Japanese fried chicken salad Americana by a distinctly non-Japanese chef. Yes, Japanese cuisine has gone worldly!

Two women inside the truck weren't hurt.
Troopers don't know what the men were doing in the Liberal area. They were wearing dark clothing at the time of the accident, which made it difficult to see them.

Every Thursday during the season, Justin Goldman, a regional goalie scout for USA Hockey and founder of The Goalie Guild, will provide you with an in-depth analysis of fantasy goaltenders in NHL.com's weekly segment, "In the Cage." From updated goalie rankings to goalies you should keep a close eye on and much more, Goldman will be your fantasy goalie expert all season long.
Semyon Varlamov didn't win a single road game last season until April 26, just one day before the Colorado Avalanche ended their season. With a 1-14-2 record, a 3.67 goals-against average and .887 save percentage away from Pepsi Center, he was one of the worst goalies to own in any type of one-year fantasy league.
But one week into this season, Varlamov appears to be revitalized completely. Not only is he a perfect 3-0 under new coach Patrick Roy, but he has allowed just one goal in each game, stopping 88 of 91 shots (a .967 save percentage). Furthermore, he is yet to allow a power-play goal or relinquish a one-goal lead. And in his only start on the road, he stopped 27 of 28 shots.
In his three games, Varlamov was named the First Star on Oct. 2 and Oct. 8, and the Third Star on Oct. 4.
At first glance, this turnaround may seem like a major surprise. But considering that he spent a big chunk of his summer working with legendary goalie coach Francois Allaire, the improved play was nothing short of a guarantee. Known for enhancing the skills of goalies like Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Jonas Hiller and Ilya Bryzgalov, Allaire's latest pupil already is showing major signs of improvement.
Not only does Varlamov look more economical with his athletic butterfly movements and recoveries, but he's benefitting from some system changes that already has Colorado playing more consistently in all three zones. The defense remains very much a work in progress, but their perfect penalty killing (seven-for-seven) is a good early sign. They have also allowed fewer than 10 shots in four of nine regulation periods.
In terms of Varlamov's technique, aside from being more economical with his athleticism, he's exhibiting more patience on his skates and more trust in his angles. Combined with some changes to the way he holds his glove, he also looks visibly bigger in the net. Already considered as one of the quickest goalies in the NHL, his explosiveness has made the obstacle of smaller gear and shallower nets a non-factor.
We know it's easy for cautious fantasy players to say these observations are too premature, or that the numbers merely are the result of a hot start. But for a goalie that still is owned in just 72 percent of Yahoo fantasy leagues, you still may have a chance to add a starting goalie that quite possibly could be the "steal" of the season.
1. Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh Penguins: Fantasy players were tentative to draft Fleury this season, as his average pick was 46th in Yahoo leagues, putting him 11th among goalies. But he has been just as hot as Varlamov, stopping 79 of his first 82 shots, including a 27-save shutout against the Devils on opening night.
2. Jaroslav Halak, St. Louis Blues: With a shutout streak of 111:52 laced in the middle of his first three games, Halak is on the attack with a perfect 3-0-0 start. Not only is he healthy, but he also looks much stronger physically. After a win Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks, he has 73 saves on 77 total shots for a .948 save percentage, and one shutout.
3. Jonathan Bernier, Toronto Maple Leafs: There's a good chance Bernier could be the first "tandem buster" of the season. His flawless relief effort in a 5-4 come-from-behind shootout win against the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 6 was a statement victory, and he's now 2-1 with a .963 save percentage, stopping 77 of 80 shots on goal.
1. Devan Dubnyk, Edmonton Oilers: New Oilers coach Dallas Eakins gave Dubnyk a chance to bounce back from some bad goals in the opener, but in two games he has allowed 10 goals (seven at even-strength) on 59 shots. He was peppered by Vancouver on Oct. 5 and was pulled after allowing five goals on 31 shots.
2. Braden Holtby, Washington Capitals: In his first three games Holtby is 0-2-0 and has allowed 10 goals on 66 shots. That included a game Oct. 3 against Calgary where he was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots. Last season Holtby allowed 12 goals on 104 shots in his first three games, and went 1-4-0 in his first five games.
3. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers: We predicted that Lundqvist likely would need time to get used to his smaller gear and his team's new style of play, and those omens have come true. He has allowed nine goals on just 87 shots and was pulled after allowing four goals on 26 shots on Oct. 8 against the San Jose Sharks.
Steve Mason, Philadelphia Flyers: With 33 saves on 34 shots in a 2-1 win against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday, Mason, who is owned in just 29 percent of Yahoo fantasy leagues, earned First Star of the game in coach Craig Berube's debut. Mason now has a .935 save percentage and has stopped 87 of his 93 shots on goal in three games.
These modified re-rankings are a projection of a goalie's fantasy output for the entire season. Our rankings are based on volume categories like games played, wins, saves, and GAA and SP%. The plus or minus for each player is movement based on our most recent rankings from last week (NR means not ranked in previous rankings). It is important to note that our rankings reflect sheer fantasy value, not talent. A less-talented goalie could be ranked higher due to their team's strong defense and offense.

The Western Portion of the Rift Valley is Actually as old as th Eastrn Portion.
Monday, 30 April 2012
Researcher have always believed that the origin of humanity, in the Great Rift Valley region of Africa, the Eastern part that surges through Northern Kenya to kiss its counterpart in the Western is actually older than the later.
However, this conflict was later resolved by Natural Geoscience who found out that the two arms are actually as old as each other. This was according to a statement on Michigan state University which reads as follows:Read more...

New & Old Ways for me to stay Motivated
Thursday, September 26, 2013
Happy Thursday, Sparkers! September 26th already?! What!?! Wow!
My fitness minutes are at 1,275 right now. I would like to hit my 1,500 minutes goal by the end of this month! I have kickboxing Friday & Monday which will help a bit. If I want to hit the 1,500, I will HAVE to do some exercising on the weekend!
Since I am not losing much weight & have been fluctuating on the scale the past few months, I have been trying to find new ways to keep my motivation level high. I don't want to maintain at 160, but I definitely don't want to gain weight!
Here are some things I have recently been doing differently to keep myself motivated:
1. I bought myself some summer clothes on clearance that are a tad TOO small. I wouldn't wear the shirts or shorts out in public today, but I am hoping I will be able to wear them next summer! When I feel like I need a push, I try on the small clothes! I know I could wear them next year!
2. New Recipes - I get tired of eating the same food. Recently I have really been missing a lot of saucey food. Instead of having pasta every night, I have been looking up other sauce dishes. I want to start making spaghetti squash again. It is the season for it & I can get it pretty cheap at the farms nearby! I also could have fresh veggies with sauce as a side instead of pasta. I have made a baked ziti in the past with ground meat. I want to try to make an italian rice casserole with ground turkey! I think the new recipes are helping me stick to the better eating.
3. Various Exercises - Instead of just doing kickboxing, I have been doing kickboxing AND pilates. I used to just do one type of exercise a week. Now I am trying to add some variety. I work out different muscles which is a plus too.
4. Helping others with their journeys - A friend of mine started weight watchers a few weeks ago. Instead of just letting her do it on her own, I asked how the program was going. I remember from the past that people used to ask me if I was losing weight. They asked how the program was, but they didn't really have any actual advice for me. I wanted to reach out and let her know that I was here! Also, I introduced her to Spark and so far she says she is really enjoying it! That makes me feel good too because I love this community!
5. The feeling of not exercising - When I was sick a few weeks ago, I didn't do any workouts for a few days. I actually WANTED to exercise! I feel better mentally and physically after I work out. Most mornings I wake up happier when I worked out the night before.
6. Eliminating most dairy: I actually feel like doing this is motivating me to keep making better decisions in my other food choices. It has only been a month and a half since I have been trying to get rid of dairy. Most weekends I now have cereal with unsweetened almond milk. I keep saying no to cheese, but I also don't really have sour cream anymore also! I miss it, but saying NO to those items really helps me keep saying no to other "bad" foods.
7. Start now instead of later - Some people like to say "I will start my new diet on Monday, so I will eat whatever I want now." I don't want to live like that anymore.
There are a few things that are still motivating me, so I am not stopping! I need every bit of motivation I can get!!!!!!!!!
1. Reading other blogs - I really like reading about the other good days, binge days, personal records, non-scale victories, and other randomness of the Spark blogs!
2. Goals - I still like to make long term, short term, and mini goals! The other day I said I wouldn't have french fries for a week - I have a few more days left, and I think I can do it!
3. Pictures - I still look at my old pictures and comparison shots! They really help me realize how far I have come. I can't give up now!
4. Give to Get - I have to actually DO something to get the results I want! Even though I wish I could, I can't just sit around and hope for the best. A lot of planning goes into what I am going to eat and what I am not going to eat.

This article is actually an extension of the last at this site, which dealt with the Ella Sharp Museum (see the article at www.examiner.com). There is another museum in Jackson which should be visited by anyone with even a passing interest in the American criminal justice system. This is the Jackson Prison Museum, which is embedded within the still functional Jackson State Prison. Actually, it is part of the Ella Sharp Museum nearby. It is housed in a closed part of the large correctional facility, but is unlike most jail museums in that it is part of a much larger complex, not a local sheriff's lockup, as is the case with so many of this type.
The nature of a large prison
Generally, American prisons have fallen into two broad categories. The first type, found primarily in New England, has stressed reform, humane treatment and progressive ideas about rehabilitation. This goes back to the colonial days, when the populace was more homogeneous and perhaps easier to diagnose and control. The second type, found from Sing Sing to San Quentin, has emphasized maximum security, overcrowding and punishment as a deterrent to crime. Some reformers, like the Enlightenment writer Beccaria, have urged humane treatment for those in confinement. Jackson tends to follow the typical American model plan with its high fences, towers and rolls of formidable barbed wire to discourage escapees.
The prison museum project
A joint venture between Ella Sharp and the Michigan Department of Corrections, the museum has been in planning since 2007. It occupies the now closed Cell Block 7, and is also known as the Armory Arts Complex. It comprises only a small part of this huge installation, which grew to become the largest walled facility of its kind in America and the world! Distinguished "guests" have included members of Detroit's notorious Purple Gang of the 1920's and 1930's as well as assisted suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian and former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Tours are available that start at the Michigan Theatre downtown and feature interactive lectures, film clips and archival photographs, among other memorabilia. For an altogether different museum experience that provides insight into a world few of us will ever see, a visit here is to be recommended.

Aug 30, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - One day after opening the 2013 season with a 34-7 win over Jackson State, the Tulane University football team received more good news on Friday as head coach Curtis Johnson announced the addition of senior defensive end Jeremy Peeples.
A native of Selma, Ala., the 6-4, 242-pound Peeples joins the Green Wave from LSU, where he completed his bachelor's degree political science in May 2013, and will be eligible to play right away. Peeples is the second former Tigers' student-athlete to join the Tulane program - joining defensive tackle Chris Davenport - and is now one of five players with previous Division I-A experience to dot the Green Wave roster - joining defensive end Tyler Gilbert (University of Arkansas/Southwest Mississippi Community College), quarterback Nick Montana (University of Washington/Mount San Antonio College) and cornerback Taurean Nixon (University of Memphis)
Following a three-year prep career at Selma High where he played along the offensive line for coach Brian Montgomery, Peeples joined the LSU program as a walk-on in 2009. After redshirting his first season and not seeing any action the next two, Peeples saw time in three games in 2012 - North Texas, Idaho and Auburn - as a member of the special teams units. In addition to providing depth on the Green Wave defensive line during the fall, Peeples will work toward a master's degree in homeland security.
Peeples comes from an athletic family as his father, Willie, played basketball at Stillman College, and cousin, Eric England, played football at Texas A&M before serving stints with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, Canadian Football League's British Columbia Lions and Toronto Argonauts, as well as the XFL's San Francisco Demons.
The Green Wave return to action on Saturday, Sept. 7, when they play host to South Alabama at 2:30 p.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. For tickets to that game, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

Russell Sage Women Influence Science
A member of the team that completed the first bone marrow transplant…
A respected researcher turned professor turned executive in Boston's thriving biotechnology hub…
And a recent grad screening babies for life-threatening genetic disorders that are treatable with early detection…
All are part of RSC's long record of preparing graduates for careers on the cutting edge of science.
"I have often been asked why I chose a research career. To me research is highly creative," said Delta Uphoff '44, now deceased, in the spring 1964 issue of the Russell Sage Alumnae Quarterly, describing the satisfaction she felt when absorbed in a research program "which is conceived, developed and exists almost entirely by one's own effort."
After graduating from RSC, Uphoff pursued a master's degree at the University of Rochester—where she directed drosophila (fruit fly) genetic research for the University's branch of the Manhattan Project (later to become the Atomic Energy Commission). She earned a Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley and went on to join the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md.
During her 40-year career at NIH, Uphoff's lab was attached to units studying biophysics, genetics, carcinogenesis and leukemia, but she is most renowned for her contributions to the field of transplantation immunology. A member of the research team that completed the first bone marrow transplant, Uphoff's research led to drug treatments that reduce risks associated with organ rejection in transplant patients. In 1976, the International Society of Experimental Hematology gave her a special award for her contributions to the field.
Uphoff's contributions to science extended outside of the laboratory. A prolific writer, her 1949 report, "The Genetic Effects of Low Intensity Radiation," was accepted as a "substantial contribution to the field of radiation genetics."(She credited Professor Geneva Sayre's scientific writing class with "making the difficult job of communication easier.")
In a 1982 memo to U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell—whose name is synonymous with college financial aid "Pell Grants"—Uphoff lobbied for more opportunities for women in the sciences and was candid with her criticism of the government's support for the education of foreign scientists at the expense of science education for Americans.
Throughout her career, Uphoff had a strong affection for RSC, telling classmates that she "realized how really good her Russell Sage education in the sciences had been" when she entered graduate school. The RSC Alumnae Association honored Uphoff with the Crockett Medal in 1971 and the College bestowed an honorary doctorate on her in 1982.
A solemn footnote: Through her research, Uphoff had been exposed for many years to the damaging effects of radon and always felt she would develop cancer because of it. Cancer did claim her life in 1992. She was 70 years old.

Comedian John Pinette was found dead in his hotel room in his Pennsylvania hotel room. While the name might not ring a bell, once you see the comedian's face, you will remember him from the last episode as Seinfeld, as the hapless carjacking victim. He is also a favorite in stand-up venues nationwide.
According to ABC News on April 7, the coroner reports that the 50-year-old Pinette died of natural causes. Pinette, who was a large man, often incorporated his weight into his comedy routines.
Pinette appeared in the televised stand-up specials "Show Me the Buffet," "I'm Starvin!" and "Still Hungry." He had roles in movies including "The Punisher." In the last Seinfeld episode Pinette is the carjacking victim who Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George failed to help, landing them in jail for breaking the "good Samaritan law."
While an autopsy was performed, Pinette's own physician signed off on the comedian's cause of death. Pinette was due to go out on a stand-up tour which ran across the nation and through Canada.

In a story that sounds eerily similar to the espionage-themed film he was attempting to see, an Ohio man was pulled out of a screening of "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" over the weekend and questioned for an hour by federal authorities, all for wearing Google Glass during the movie.
In an account originally posted on The Gadgeteer, a man writing anonymously claims that he had been watching the movie for about an hour at an AMC Theater in Columbus, Ohio, when "a guy comes near my seat, shoves a badge that had some sort of a shield on it, yanks the Google Glass off my face and says 'Follow me outside immediately.'" Outside the theater, the man claimed that there were "about 5-10 cops and mall cops."
"After an embarrassing 20-30 minutes outside the movie theater, me and my wife were conducted into two separate rooms in the 'management' office of Easton Mall, where the guy with the badge introduced himself again and showed me a different ID," the man wrote.
According to the man's account, the interrogating officer identified himself as "Bob Hope" of the "movie association," although in an update to the original story, The Gadgeteer confirmed the officer was with the Department of Homeland Security. The man under interrogation says that his Google Glass was connected to a computer where it's contents were downloaded. After looking through his personal photos and cell phone, authorities determined that the man wasn't recording the movie. He was released and given four free passes to AMC Theaters.
In a statement sent to The Wrap, a spokesman for AMC Theaters says that they were simply following protocol when dealing with a patron who was suspected of pirating a film from one of their theaters.
"Movie theft is something we take very seriously, and our theater managers contact the Motion Picture Association of America anytime it's suspected that someone may be illegally recording content on screen.
"While we're huge fans of technology and innovation, wearing a device that has the capability to record video is not appropriate at the movie theatre. At AMC Easton 30 last weekend, a guest was questioned for possible movie theft after he was identified wearing a recording device during a film.
"The presence of this recording device prompted an investigation by the MPAA, which was on site. The MPAA then contacted Homeland Security, which oversees movie theft. The investigation determined the guest was not recording content."
MPAA authorities on site at a movie theater in Columbus, Ohio is interesting enough. The fact that those responsible for combating movie piracy are employed by the Department of Homeland Security makes this story doubly shocking.
This incident, along with another recent case of a woman who was issued a ticket, later dismissed, for wearing Google Glass while driving, underscores the changes we could be facing once this revolutionary piece of technology becomes more widely used.
For his part, the man who brought this incident to light says that he's not upset about the investigation itself, just the fact that the authorities never apologized when he was released.
"I would have been fine with 'I'm sorry this happened, please accept our apologies.' Four free passes just infuriated me," the man wrote.

The New Orleans Saints have made it clear their yearly goal is to be in the position to take the best player available in the draft.
They've made a big move toward that goal by plugging some holes in free agency despite limited salary cap space. The Saints signed top free agent safety Jairus Byrd, cornerback Champ Bailey and fullback Erik Lorig. They also held onto right tackle Zach Strief and restricted free agent safety Rafael Bush.
However, they traded away running back/kick returner Darren Sproles, let safety Malcolm Jenkins and center Brian de la Puente walk away in free agency and released several veteran players, including wide receiver Lance Moore and cornerback Jabari Greer.
That means the Saints could be looking at a number of positions with the No. 27 pick in the draft, held May 8-10 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The Saints have the No. 27, No. 58, No. 91, No. 126, No. 167, No. 169 and No. 202 picks in the draft. They have no seventh round pick.
We'll take a look at each position group in the draft and what the Saints might be considering in May.

Henry Josey, Missouri
Saints position priority: Medium
What the Saints might do in the draft: We predicted the Saints wouldn't do much at this position in free agency, and for the most part, that was the case. The Saints dealt away running back Darren Sproles and extended Pierre Thomas to a more cap-friendly deal. There weren't any indications they were considering any running backs backs during free agency.
However, now that could be a different story.
With Sproles gone, the Saints have a specific need to fill.
The Saints have expressed interest in Terrance West, and sent several scouts to his Pro Day. At 5-9, 225 pounds, the Towson running back is stocky and tough to bring down. He has experience catching the ball, however he isn't the shifty, speedy back that could slide into the void Sproles left.
Additionally, West's stock has been rising and he will likely go higher than the Saints would prefer, with four running backs on the roster.
Saints coach Sean Payton has already said in-house back Travaris Cadet might be a candidate to replace Sproles as a hybrid back/pass catcher/return man.
But he might want some competition for Cadet, who took only 24 offensive snaps last season.
Look for them to snag a late-round back or an undrafted free agent.

Minor word use problems mainly in terms. Calling a Selkath man. The writing is a bit stilted but that is what editing and proofreading is for. Other wise well done,
Note on Canon: The only ones we see use telepathy are Kreia, the Exile and Mira during one scene. The Force bond between Revan and Bastila were never explained as telepathy, only that they would know what the other was thinking about. So I dont know if this would really fit into the canon.

Approximately five years after TSL: With both of their men at war; Revan and the Exile recieve the worst news any woman in that position can receive. Companion piece to we change for those we love.
The style is excellent, the scene crisp and clear. The reaction by both women and children as clear as if they were our own families. This piece cannot be praised enough.
Reprise Pick of the Week
First Few Steps
Lady of Arrakis
TSL after Nar Shaddaa: One word can push all the wrong buttons
The piece was good, though you had some word usage problems. Read instead of red, that kind of thing. Nothing that rereading and editing wont cure.
The reason behind her problem is excellently portrayed, the way Atton reacts to the tale charming. The end is humorous as well.
Pick of the week.
Undivided Attention
TSL after Nar Shaddaa: The things you do to calm a friend down
The piece has some funny twists, the idea of not having such an obvious place for him to keep the family jewels just the most obvious. Having him get blindsided was my favorite scene.
A Timeless Moment
Drask Damak
TSL Nar Shaddaa after Attons revelation: Take a chance Atton!
The piece is well written, a choice vignette with an excellent name.
Pick of the Week.
Revans Pet Duck
TSL After Dantooine: The Disciple wishes to more that the knight sans per, sans reproache
The piece is an interesting view from within the Disciples mind. The unrequited love is well portrayed.
TSL Aboard Gotos Yacht: A bit of tit for tat between the Exile and Atton.
An interesting piece, with a lot of fun attached. Very well done.

BOSTON -- After a standout season as Boston's bench coach, Torey Lovullo makes a lot of sense to be a strong managerial candidate for the Chicago Cubs. After all, Cubs president Theo Epstein first brought Lovullo into the Red Sox organization when he hired him to manage the PawSox in 2010.
To this point, though, the Cubs haven't sought permission to speak to Lovullo about their opening. But it isn't because they don't want to.
According to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Red Sox aren't allowing the Cubs to even ask for permission to speak to Lovullo because of the agreement the two organizations put in place upon Epstein's departure to Chicago in 2011. At the time, the Red Sox and Cubs agreed not to hire each other's employees for a certain period of time.
The sticking point is that Lovullo, though a Red Sox employee now, wasn't at the time. He was a member of John Farrell's staff in Toronto when Epstein went to the Cubs. He would also be interviewing for a promotion, from bench coach to manager.
Chicago is looking to have a manager in place by the start of the general manager meetings next week in Orlando. The Cubs may not be patient enough to wait Boston out on Lovullo.
