What was the top challenge reported in Hubspot's State of Inbound 2015? How to prove marketing ROI. How much of a challenge is this? Overall, 57% of respondents (just shy of 4000 companies participated) identified this as their top challenge. Wow! Does that remind you of the old ad industry joke, "I know only 50% of my marketing is working, I just don't know which 50%!"...sad but true. Is there a better way? Thankfully yes.
Different marketing campaigns may have different goals for example more visitors to your website or generating more leads but regardless of a campaigns goal, in the end what is most important is how sales are positively affected...hopefully! The simplest formula to determine the percentage of marketing ROI is:
($Sales growth-$Marketing cost)/$Marketing costX100%= Marketing ROI%
For example:
$Sales growth=$10000
$Marketing Cost= $2000
Wouldn't we all like results like that! For our purpose here let's assume a month long marketing campaign. This is a very simple example and ignores important historic trends, for example is there a monthly growth number that needs to be taken into consideration? If your company already experiences month over month growth in a historically significant way, you would need to subract that from the sales growth figure. For example, if your company already has new sales of $2000/month then the formula becomes:
($10000-$2000-$2000)/$2000X100%= 300% (Wow! Again, another number I'm sure we'd all like to deliver!)
It's important to note here that these are simple numbers for example purposes only, if you find a marketer that delivers these sorts of results with every campaign...please have them get in touch with us!
Ok, so far so good right? What's the problem?
In order to keep this post short we're not going to explore:
...and the list goes on an on. Instead we're going to focus on the key indicators that you need to measure and give a couple of ideas on how and where to get this information.
Whether your campaign is outbound through the old conventional print, radio or TV media (etc.) or completely inbound online you can accurately measure the results you achieve.
Each part of your campaign messaging must drive new activity to a specific landing page (a page specifically for the campaign that is designed to convert the visitor to a lead) on your company website. When we say "each part of your campaign" we mean radio would drive traffic to a 'radio' landing page (a separate page for each radio station), print ads in different papers, magazines etc. would direct action to separate landing pages for each print placement, and the same for any other media channels used.
(Note: If your campaign directs phone contact you must set up separate phone numbers, done inexpensively with services like Ring Central for example, so that you can track incoming calls and their source.)
Using the phone data in combination with your web analytics (by looking at the traffic to each of the landing pages you've created), you can evaluate the campaign results which provides you with the first layer of important data, that being leads generated. (This data also gives you a clear indication of which parts of the campaign are most effective at generating leads!)
As a marketer, creating interest in your company's product or service offering is your objective, whether that interest converts into sales is the sales groups responsibility and this is where sales and marketing alignment is critically important. In this post we want to give you some insight as to how you prove your company's marketing ROI. What we've covered here are a formula to calculate the ROI and a method to gather information so that you can evaluate each campaign's effectiveness in generating lead results. The assumptions made here are that your marketing group has clear buyer personas, an effective lead qualification process, a detailed understanding of the buyer personas buying process and a clear (and different) sales process for both inbound and outbound generated leads. If these assumptions are valid for your company, then the formula described here is a method for you to prove your marketing ROI. If not...well, there's more work to be done! Stay tuned, there's always more to come because...
We're at the edge of the future!
Simply put, at IME we like to say that inbound marketing is the way to use the internet for business growth!
The fifth post in this blog was called "What Is Inbound Marketing?" and it introduced the idea of using content, social media, seo (search engine optimization), conversion landing pages, marketing automation (lead nurturing) and web analytics in an integrated fashion to achieve increased website traffic and generate leads that can be nurutred into qualified prospects...hmmm sounds like we're repeating ourselves. Well guess what? That IS what inbound marketing is all about! In the end analysis the essential elements of inbound marketing haven't changed and neither have the outcomes. It's all about leveraging the internet for your company's business growth. What has changed?
After writing many many posts on inbound marketing and how it can help your business grow revenues in a very cost efficient way, one of the biggest changes is our (both IME's and the collective 'our') knowledge of how using the inbound marketing elements in a comprehensive way will achieve the results you're looking for, namely a more cost effective increase in business revenue. There was a time when the inbound marketing activities centered around more of whatever is better, but the evolution of this modern marketing strategy has refined this to a far more strategic series of integrated actions that drill into your company's buyer persona. How?
The heading says it all the software available for inbound marketing is simpler to use, providing a more complete toolset and picture of your company's marketing actions and delivering better results than ever before. Of course we are talking about Hubspot's software platform, there is no doubt that they lead the market significantly in providing a comprehensive software platform to their customers. At Inbound 2013 (Hubspot's annual inbound marketing conference) the latest version of their platform was released which offers users greater insight on social media through 'social inbox' but also the new COS (content optimization system), a powerful way to build websites easily with a fully responsive design built in! This means that all of your effort in building your website is now fully available regardless of whether it is viewed on a smart phone, tablet, laptop or big screen...your company has all the bases covered!
Wouldn't it be great if you had an employee that worked 24/7/365, never called in sick or asked for a raise and in fact was actually costing your company less over time? That's what an effective inbound marketing program does for you. By creating content that is valued by your audience, providing them with opportunities to engage with your information, promoting your corporate message with social media and automatically nurturing the leads you generate into qualified sales ready prospects in a continuous cycle of improvement, your company has a new automated marketing employee. Unlike any other form of marketing where you pay and when the money runs out so to do the results, with inbound marketing what you build today is a legacy project that continues to deliver results long into the future. The very first offer IME created is an on page SEO guide and it still generates leads for us today. What marketing action has your company done that has that sort of long term payback? Welcome to the new paradigm in marketing...inbound marketing!
Of course this question will vary from company to company but the reality is the same for every company we've spoken with. There are many options for your marketing dollar. You can continue cold calling to phones that have called ID and voicemail making it more difficult to reach your audience and more costly to say nothing of how this deflates your sales team. You can buy print, radio and TV advertising that with technologies that are replacing them like the internet, commercial free satellite radio, PVDR's and services like Netflix all of which are reducing the impact of mass media in reaching your target audience and costing you more money with less return. Maybe your company does trade shows...notice how the participation level is down? We regularly hear from companies that they are now packing their bowling equipment to use in the aisles at these shows. Most importantly, once your marketing activity is over and the money is spent, the results come to an end...Why not take some of that money and use it to build an automated long term marketing machine? Why would you continue to throw good money away when there's an alternative...really...WHY?
Do you like what you've read? Agree? Disagree? Let us know with your comments!
What are your company's website goals? Let's begin a conversation! We guarantee that we won't waste your time!
Think about this...how have your media consumption patterns changed in the last few years? Are you still listening to radio like you used to or do you plug in your IPOD or MP3 player in the car, at home or wherever you are? Maybe you've subscribed to commercial free satellite radio? What about TV? Still watching it in the way that you did a few years ago or do you use a PVR? How about Netflix? And print, while newspapers and magazines are still being sold the fact is that circulation is down and online news is up...way up! If you're like most of us, our media consumption has changed dramatically over the last several years (what an understatement!) and we are now consuming what we want, when we want and where we want and the impact on your company's marketing results confirms this, you have to spend more money to achieve the same outcomes through conventional mass media. What is your company doing to reverse this trend? Enter inbound marketing. (some might call this content marketing)
Here's the thing...the internet has changed everything (well pretty much) related to how your target audience is finding information. Again, think about it...how are you using the internet at home, at work, on your mobile device? It has quickly become THE WAY that both business and consumer audiences seek out the information THEY want WHEN they want it. It follows that the smart money is being invested to take advantage of the inbound marketing trend.
At Inbound 2013, Hubspot's annual inbound marketing conference, the following slide came up on the screen as part of the keynote address from Darmesh Shah and Brian Halligan, co-founders of Hubspot, as they presented the new developments of Hubspot's industry leading inbound marketing software platform.
This graphic shows the simple inbound marketing process that is proven to work for businesses that want to leverage the web for business growth. Notice, we said simple which is distinctly different from easy. There is no doubt that there is a lot of work involved and as you learn more you will have challenges along the way. That said, one of the most powerful elements of inbound marketing is that your company will now be able to adjust on the fly with the powerful analytics data that is constantly captured and on review and evaluation, allows your company to tweak successful actions to make them even more powerful, or alter course entirely for initiatives that aren't quite delivering the expected results. Hubspot's comprehensive software platform helps over 10,000 customers now, ranging from small consulting practices to enterprise sized companys, to attract visitors, convert them to leads and nurture them to qualified prospects ready to hand off to the sales process. On average, companies using Hubspot experience a 62% reduction in lead generation costs, shortened sales cycles with proper sales and marketing alignment and the best part perhaps? They create an information and marketing legacy online that serves them 24/7/365 that continues to grow in value over time.
Now the question...What is your company doing to take advantage of the web for business growth? If you haven't started there is no time like the present, the tools available to drive growth through improved marketing outcomes are better than ever, what are you waiting for?
Our promise...if you click the above link, we promise not to waste your time with endless calls and emails, but if you want some perspective on how inbound marketing can help your company, let's talk!
I've just spent a moment (a 45 minute moment) listening to Seth Godin delivering his keynote address to the audience at Inbound 2013, Hubspot's annual inbound marketing conference, to an excited audience of roughly 5000 inbound marketers...wow! There's a reason this man has emerged as one of the world's leaders in the area of how to use the internet to communicate with an audience, he's really good at it! With a clear line of thinking, in his address he manages to lay out why the concept of inbound marketing is so very important today, whether it's business or personal communication that you're trying to achieve. In this short post I'm not going to try to recap what he said in any sort of comprehensive manner, instead I'll try to condense for you some of the key points. I didn't take any notes as I prefer to listen and fully engage in presentations like these, so this is just a bit of a ramble on what was a remarkable moment...something you might want to consider for your business if you want to take advantage of what the internet can offer your business as a growth vehicle. There is no doubt, it is the vehicle of the forseeable future in my opinion and Seth gives clear reasons as to why.
The decline of conventional mass media as a viable advertising channel. Don't misunderstand me, of course there is still a place for conventional outbound approaches, they aren't dead, just in decline. Evidence is everywhere as we see various mass media struggling to stay afloat in a world that increasingly lends itself to custom media, or as Seth suggests, a tribal media culture. What this means in the business world is that the mass audience that as a business you once wanted to reach, is not there in the same way it was even 5 let alone 10 years ago. What has this done to the effectiveness of your conventional marketing spend? In most cases companies tell us that it's not delivering the results it once did. What are you going to do about it?
The rise of tribal or channel media is nothing less than remarkable. Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Youtube etc. are successful for a simple reason...they allow us to communicate and engage with the information we want when we want it. This means that we don't have to listen to the interuptive forms of shotgun marketing that have been used for the last 100 (roughly years) Conventional or mass media like TV, radio and print were specificall created to reach a mass audience and market to them. The internet alternatively was not, it was created as a way to communicate and has quickly (in record time) evolved into the most information rich media platform of all time and allows any and all of us, for the first time in the history of mankind to reach the world with our ideas. Think about that...
What does this mean for your business? First of all it doesn't mean that you should stop all of your current marketing activities but rather look closely at what your company is doing now, what's working, what the return on that investment is and look very seriously at what options you have for inbound marketing. Of course, for any of you that have read this blog regularly, you know that I will suggest looking at Hubspot, afterall Hubspot is the leaders in software that will allow your company to take full advantage of the internet for business growth. But more importantly, if you were going to pursue an inbound marketing approach for business growth, what would that look like? How would you move forward and how would you know whether it was working or not? Well, there are ways and I'd be happy to talk with you when you have the interest. But whether you talk with us at IME or some other inbound marketing company all I can say is I hope you will. Whether you like it or not, it is the way of the future and each investment that you make for your company today will pay dividends long into the future. Will you make mistakes? Absolutely! Most successes come from a series of failed attempts until finally the magic takes hold. The alternative is the status quo, and any of you reading this who are directly involved in your media buys know...returns from mass media are down.
This short post by no means covers or does justice to Seth Godin's address, but the reality is this. We are living in a time of communications revolution and your company can take advantage of this...or not. Simply put, it is a matter of choice that has significant implications for the future. What's your choice?

As part of our ongoing series on a company website redesign proposal, this post is intended to provide your company with a process to help you create an effective website content strategy.
So you've heard from the experts and read the advertising that talks about the need today for companies to 'stay current' and still your company hasn't updated the company website or corporate content strategy? Maybe now is the time you're thinking of a website redesign project, that's what our current series is all about.
As you've probably heard by now the new name of the game is inbound marketing and a well planned content strategy is a fundamental building block of an integrated inbound marketing program. Long gone are the days of your company depending on fruitless cold calls or expense-incurring print ads to gain customers and leads from your market. Our goal at IME is to provide companies with a new and exciting way to entice potential customers. Inbound marketing is the 21st century way that doesn't annoy an already 'overly advertised to' population, instead you create as Hubspot says, "marketing people will love!". With the majority of the global community spending an increasing amount of time online, why not utilize the internet to generate reliable leads and optimize your business' revenue? The bottom line in our opinion is that a website redesign shouldn't be about the 'look and feel', it should be about your company's business revenue growth!
You have a product and you have a market for that product, the hard part is over, right? One of the ways we start the process of reimagining your web presence is by updating your website content strategy so that the content you create is responsive to what your target audience is looking for. Website content doesn't come out of thin air though, and unlike the previous outbound marketing approaches, your company's content strategy needs to be centered around what kind of content your audience would be interested in, what questions or problems they have that your company can help them with, and how you want provide that content for them. Web content takes many forms, text, video, graphics, audio etc. and all or only a few of these may be what your company will use. So...how can your company develop a strong website content strategy?
Important Note: Your company has many different options and thinking through your web content strategy will help keep you on track...take the time to do this work! As part of a website design or redesign project the time you invest in this process now will save your company countless hours in future.
Modernizing your website content strategy will bring your business into the digital age. This aspect of inbound marketing will transform your company's presence in the world in a way push marketing just can't compete with. If you've ever opened your email only to be greeted with an overflowing spam box, you know just how your customers feel about push marketing invading their web space. With inbound marketing the customer comes to you so, no more thrown away mail circulars or expensive advertising costs to incur. With more and more people joining the "do not call list", why not find a way of communicating with your customers that is interactive as well as informative? There's no need to buy your way into their hearts with ploys or gimmicks if your website content strategy involves delivers interesting, informative and or entertaining content that stimulates your potential client's interest, answers their problems, educates or entertains them..."build it and they will come".
One final message on your company's content strategy...it takes time and effort! Whether we're talking about developing the content strategy itself or creating the content, the pictures, graphics, videos, audio files or text, they all take time. Be patient and plan well because they add tremendous value to your business and ultimately play a key role in increasing your company's revenues when used as part of a comprehensive inbound marketing program.
Stay tuned in an upcoming post we'll be offering more information on a website redesign project for business growth that we hope will help your company save time and money by avoiding the mistakes we've seen so many times before.
We're at the edge of the future!
Whether it's just to answer a question or you're company would like some further guidance we're here to help...
In this post we continue to outline potential considerations your company should undertake as part of a website redesign proposal specifically search and content.
Do you remember your first time using a search engine? Maybe it was Google, to be honest I don't know if I remember which engine I used for my first internet search and I also don't remember what it was that I searched for...it was many years ago! Today we take search engines for granted don't we? We simply open our favourite search engine (many people have this as their 'home' screen) and type in whatever it is that we want information about. Really simple isn't it? But think about how you search the web now compared to when you first began your internet surfing, has your search pattern changed? I know mine has and in conversation with many others, they recognize that their pattern has changed as well. It seems that as we learn more about the capabilities of search engines to deliver refined responses to our search queries, we searchers are refining our searches. Let's look at this in greater detail and see if there are some implications to our corporate website design actions.
Simply put, a search engine wants to deliver the best results it can to a search query. To accomplish this a search engine continually scours the internet with what are called spiderbots to find and index information on the internet, creating a huge library (mind blowingly huge!) to offer as results for any given search. Using complex algorithms, this data is sorted based on relevancy and authority so that when you type your query into the search bar, up pop the results that the search engine thinks most closely respond to what you're looking for. Makes sense doesn't it? Here's something I think is interesting. Did you know that every single day, in the billions of search queries that are carried out it's estimated that 15-20% are completely new, never been used before searches. The cumulative effect of this is that the greatest volume of traffic is generated by unique 'keywords' and not the prime keywords your company thinks are going to generate the traffic. (analysts suggest that well over 90% of all interenet searches are completely unique) Usually what we find is that these unique or longtail keywords account for about 80% of the traffic to a website...does that surprise you?
If you think back, perhaps not very long ago, you were probably searching in a very awkward fashion. Let's say you were searching for new office cubicle furniture for the company, you may have entered something like "office furniture" and you would get a number of results but many of them would likely be irrelevant, either by geography or some other qualifiying parameter of your company's buying policy. So you don't find what you want and you enter another search more refined something like "quality office furniture Ottawa" and get better results. With better results you're now feeling a sense of security about the quality of the information results you'll find when you perform more complex searches and this is the trend, that's why there are ever increasing numbers of unique searches. For those who use the web regularly, and this is a growing majority of businesses and consumers alike, our search sophistication has grown dramatically and the search that started out as "office furniture" might now be "Where can I find quality office cubicle furniture in Ottawa" (these are what we call longtail keywords). This is how the internet is evolving...now, what should your company do about it?
The simple answer to this is create abundant relevant content and your company will be found in many ways that you hadn't thought of. Here's an example for IME. In reviewing our analytics data for the last month, we had a visitor from an organic search that generated a lead and the term they used to find us was "elements of an inbound marketing strategy" which it turns out we're the number 1 ranked organic result in Google. (Yippee!) But prior to that event, we didn't know that we were the number 1 result for that term. (This is where it becomes important to have great analytics for your website, more on that in an upcoming post.) What we do here is continue to provide our visitors with information that we think will be helpful to them as they consider how best their company can use inbound marketing to grow their business and in doing that we get found for all sorts of searches that we never imagined, your company can achieve these results as well by continually creating content relevant to your audience.
What I've tried to explain to you in this post is why your company needs to think of a content strategy that will address the information requirements of your target audience. I've specifically stayed away from SEO (although this is a key inbound marketing element that will be addressed in an upcoming post) because the approach we take at IME is not a short term bump in results but a long term growth pattern and this requires a content strategy. When this appraoch is taken in combination with SEO, social media, and web analytics review and evaluation, we see a long term trend to growing the visitor traffic to your company website, that combined with conversion landing pages for lead generation, and marketing automation for lead nurturing and qualification generates business growth for your company.
At IME, we believe that the money you spend on your website should be an investment, not an expense. That means that the money you spend on your company's website needs to achieve an ROI, specifically business growth. As we've said previously, when your company is investigating a website redesign project, make certain it's for the right reason...business growth! Anything else is just an expense, please...don't waste your time and money.
Stay tuned for an upcoming post where we'll be looking at how to create a content strategy for your company.
Hang on!
IF you contact us here's our promise...we will not sell you anything, we'd just like to help... Of course this could change over time, but you decide!
It's true. Far too often the underlying reasons for a company's website redesign project initiative is undertaken for all the wrong reasons here are the two most common I hear:
Why aren't these good reasons? In today's online world undertaking a company website redesign proposal shouldn't be based on 'look and feel' criteria because this has little or no payback for your company, there's no ROI. This kind of project can require many hours of input by people in your company who could be spending that time on core business activities that are building your company's wealth and profitability...and that's what a website redesign should do too! A website redesign should result in a website that is an asset to the company, a strong part of the company marketing program (with measurable ROI) and NOT just another 'expense item' in the budget.
The main reason your company should consider a website redesign is for business growth and with today's tools this is easily accomplished. What are the key factors in business growth as they relate to the internet? There are two:
While it's more complex than this let me be clear, these two reasons are THE reasons that will help your company transform the website from a brochure into a business generation tool. The reason to redesign is to positively impact your business, not because you're tired of the current design. This means your company needs to focus on the results you want, more visitors, more leads and ultimately more customers so every decision your company makes should be focused on improving those results. This means you'll be spending less time on the 'shape of this line', and the exact 'shade of blue' and more time on what will improve your company's marketing results. Be aware that most web design companies don't 'get this' and focus on the look and feel overlooking the importance of making a website a business development tool and company asset that works at generating new business 24/7/365.
There are many elements of your company's website re-design project that need your attention. The approach that we take is based on an inbound marketing methodology that delivers the results your company wants for growth, more traffic and leads. With that as a background, here are the key elements that we recommend you incorporate into the specifications of your website redesign proposal, and over the coming posts we'll be looking at each of these in greater depth.
Six Key Elements That Are Critical For Business Growth Goals From A Website Redesign
As I said earlier, a corporate website redesign project can be more complex than what has been outlined here, I've just scratched the surface, but these are what we at IME view as being the critical elements of a redesign (or initial design for that matter) project. In our next post we'll begin looking more deeply into one of these elements and by the end of the series your company will have a lot of information on how you might best proceed with a website redesign project for business growth, stay tuned.
We don't know if we can help you until you contact us so click this button now and let's have a conversation.
In conversation with many businesses I keep hearing the same thing in various forms basically it's getting more difficult and expensive to achieve the planned business growth through conventional marketing approaches. If your company continues to spend your marketing dollars in what we call outbound marketing such as the yellow pages or other print, radio, TV, trade shows etc. you're very likely in the same situation and wondering how your company should move forward to achieve the planned growth. What's the alternative? Consider an inbound marketing approach. Let's look at some facts.
With this information as a backdrop, over the next few posts an inbound marketing plan that will help your company not only survive but thrive in this new marketing environment that's characterized by the ever increasing use of the internet by your target audience will be laid out for you. Inbound marketing is a modern marketing strategy that will result in more traffic coming to your company website and more internet leads generated and nurtured into qualified prospects ready for your corporate sales team in a highly automated process that works for you 24/7/365...and what company doesn't want that? None that we've talked with.

OPHEMERT, The Netherlands — Results of a new benchmark study show that professional textile care, including new and alternative solvents, has an environmental impact that is two to three times less than the average domestic washing process, according to European industry association CINET (Comité International de l'Entretien du Textile).
CINET commissioned the study organized by the Dutch Technological Knowledge Center Textile Care (TKT) and conducted by the independent Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) in January through March of this year.
The research includes a comparison of traditional solvents (perc and hydrocarbon) and alternative solvents (Ipura, Siloxane D5, Rynex E3, SolvonK4 and wet cleaning) with domestic textile cleaning.
The study is an extension of a similar study conducted in 2011, but includes new alternative solvents Ipura, Rynex and SolvonK4. Conclusion of the research was based on equal textile load and equal processes (cleaning/washing and drying), including the environmental effects coming from production of the consumed resources, generation of the energy consumed during cleaning, and the emissions (water, solvent, detergent).
TKT will present the survey results in more details to CINET members during the group's Global Info Square meeting at Texcare International, which opens this weekend in Germany.
CINET is the umbrella organization pooling national textile care associations, research institutes, suppliers and PTC professionals worldwide.

GREG GOODSELL took his cheap, digital camera freshly purchased at a nearby Wal-Mart and made it his business to chronicle all the geek gatherings he had access to in Southern California, The Edwardian Ball, the Rocky Horror Picture Show 35th Convention, Monsterpalooza, Weekend of Horrors, all were fair game to his hungry digital eye. Hoping for a mix of Charles Gatewood touched by the Sainted hand of Diane Arbus, Goodsell fell short and now humbly offers these images as 'snapshots' -- albeit ones of an eerie power.

Explore the Department of Music
Performers, Scholars, Educators
Offering Bachelor and Master degrees, the Department of Music has approximately 60 full- or part-time music faculty and over 200 student majors. Class sizes are small and the faculty is extremely accessible. The faculty is encouraged to maintain active performing careers which in turn provide inspiration for their students.
Music programs within the Department are dedicated to the professional training of students in music education, applied performance, and music history. The Department's dedication to student and faculty participation in ensemble performance reflects the belief that interactive rehearsals and live performances teach music students the technology and social dynamics of being a musician. It is in ensemble playing where musical ideas are animated individually, instrument by instrument, but shared as a collaborative experience with fellow musicians and with the listening audience.
The Department's facilities include the 615-seat Nightingale Concert Hall, housed in the Church Fine Arts building. Completed in 1987, Nightingale Hall is renowned for its excellent acoustics and intimate performance space.The Harrah Music Wing and the Clarence and Martha Jones Music Studio Center include classrooms, practice rooms, a recording studio, and several instrumental rehearsal facilities.
The Department of Music is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). In addition, the Music Education program is a member of the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona Wildcat women's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to Pacific on Friday evening in the second game of the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort Cats Classic on Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium.
Junior forward Renae Cuellar led Arizona (0-7-0) on shot attempts with four, including one she drilled from midfield that deflected off the crossbar in the second half. Arizona's three on-goal attempts all came from Cuellar, including the Wildcats' only shot of the first half.
Fellow juniors Kristin Strother and Ariel Boulicault, and sophomore Jazmin Ponce added one shot apiece for the Wildcats' seven-shot total.
Pacific (5-4-0) out shot Arizona 14-7 on the night, but both sides were even on corner kicks with five apiece.
"It's a disappointing loss, especially playing with one man down for most of the match," head coach Lisa Oyen said. "We did fight, but we were down, and it's difficult to come back when we have to push more of our numbers forward, leaving openings in the back end, and I think that Pacific's third goal really showed that. We just need to get better on our attack."
Up next, the Wildcats will take on Texas Tech in the final match of the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort Cats Classic on Sunday, September 18 at 6 p.m. on Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium.
In the first match of the Cats Classic, Arizona State (3-4-0) lost to Texas Tech 5-0. All five Red Raider (5-3-0) goals were hit in the second half of the match, three within a ten-minute period. The Sun Devils will take to Murphey Field on Sunday to face Pacific at 11 a.m.

Simply amazing

A little strong smelling but I mix it with the Brazil Cerrado coffee and it tones it down. But has a really nice relaxing smell afterwards. I can't wait for coffee in the morning. But I love sweet stuff sometimes and it's summer and I wanted to feel like I am on vacation.

I did like it because it is stronger than the grocery store kind but I didn't taste any coconut or rum. I think the shipping costs are too high as if a person just buys one pound, the shipping is the same as if one buys more.

HED:Up against the wall
By Lena Mitchell
Daily Journal
The walls of a room are the largest visible surface area.
It is important, then, that walls have the appeal and interest to set the tone and provide a backdrop for the family's activities in a room.
When Doyce and Bill Deas of Tupelo decided to do some renovating and redecorating in their home a few years ago, their dining room had little natural light filtering in.
Kelly Holcomb of Staggs Interiors concentrated on the walls in his design plan and chose to use the very darkness of the interior room for a dramatic effect.
"I thought it would be good to play on that to make the walls look rich and pretty," Holcomb says.
He developed a faux finish design to cover the walls, from the crown molding with its antique marble look, to a French design painted border at the bottom of the wall.
Faux finish artist Lucia Randle executed the large Harlequin pattern Holcomb developed 18-inch by 12-inch diamonds in vertical rows in a deep eggplant shade on a rich dark gold background.
The beauty of faux finish is largely due to the many layers of color the artist uses, each showing through to add greater dimension to the finished project.
The walls were finally coated with a glaze to give them a sheen and to reflect the light that does come into the room.
In the Deas' kitchen Holcomb used a screen print wallpaper.
The unique colors in the panels on the wallpaper were created by the manufacturer applying a color, running the paper through the press and then applying another color.
The paper chosen also has a rich golden background that blends with the gold of the dining room and is a sunny backdrop for the light antiqued wood finish applied to the cabinetry.
"(Mrs. Deas) loves wall covers and doesn't like just plain paint," Holcomb says. "We were also working with the fact that the dining room is open to the kitchen and the living room, so you can see from the kitchen through the dining room to the living room. All of the rooms had to blend with each other."
Wall design options
Walls work with the ceiling and floor and contribute to the balance of a room, says Donna Webber, an interior design association spokeswoman.
"The walls are crucial in the overall design," she says. "Color and texture can be used to reach beyond the limits of construction."
The faux finish as a wall treatment has gained wide popularity and many people are not using wall coverings as much, says Beth Miller, an assistant professor in the Mississippi State University School of Human Sciences who teaches interior design.
"Ground, a wallpaper that has a faux finish look, is a less expensive do-it-yourself way that people can get the faux finish effect without the expense," Miller says.
Borders with architectural features that enhance crown molding are also used widely on painted walls, she says. With today's open floor plans they can help unify the look from one room to another.
Grass cloth has also recently made a comeback, offering a more natural look that has seen a resurgence.
"You're still seeing a lot of papers that are adaptations of existing historical papers from places like Charleston and Natchez," Miller says.
Another wall finish that has become prominent is to use plaster to give the walls a somewhat thick finish. The plaster is scored to give it an appearance of stone or an old castle look.
"The only problem with something like that is when it goes out of style you have to sand it down to do anything else with the wall," Miller says.
A good rule of thumb is to use wallpaper in the bathrooms and kitchen and painted surfaces elsewhere with borders.
Miller says the goal, particularly in an open floor plan, is to achieve blending and continuity of colors, with features that unite your overall look. "Usually you do that with some kind of color repeat so that you're not changing the total color palate in every room."
Another consideration is the kind of natural lighting: lots of light, cooler color; less natural light, warmer colors.
"Color has a lot of emotional implications," Miller says. "For example, yellow agitates but many people use it in their baby's room. When the baby wakes up crying, they need to have a soothing color around them, a cooler color that is non-agitating."
Wall cutouts
Choices of paint colors, textured finishes such as plaster coatings, flat or textured wallpaper, paneling, tile and faux finishes are some established wall treatment options.
However, another product that recently entered the market, called Wallies, offer ease of application to enhance a plain wall finish.
Wallies, a division of the McCall Pattern Co., are prepasted vinyl-coated wallpaper cutouts that can be applied to a wall to make border designs or patterns spread out over the entire wall.
Julie Gray, a graphic designer from Belmont, Vt., got tired of painting designs on walls herself and wondered why no one was offering an easy way to decorate a room with unique patterns.
"We want to provide a wide variety of high-quality wallpaper cutout designs that make decorating simple, affordable and distinctive," she says.
There are 25 designs available that include rustic themes like apples, fresh flowers, chili peppers and cows to more classic designs like roses, ivy leaves, bows, architectural features and whimsical clouds, cherubs and Beatrix Potter bunnies.
Wallies are available in Tupelo at Hancock Fabrics.
Wall design checklist
Various factors will influence the wall treatment in each room. Be sure to take the following features into consideration.
*Size and shape of the room: Wall treatments can make the room appear larger or smaller, cozy or spacious.
*Exposure of room: The amount of natural light entering the room will affect the kind of wall treatment to be used.
*Use of the room: The mood you want to create in the room should be matched to your choice of wall treatment.
*Relation of rooms to each other: Particularly in an open floor plan there should be repetitions to help the eye move smoothly from one room to the other.
*Architectural features: Doors, windows and other features like fireplaces also influence choice of wall treatment.

Democrats to Take Over Senate: Democrats prepared to take control of the Senate yesterday following Vermont Sen. James M. Jeffords's announcement that he is leaving the Republican Party to become an independent. His defection tips the balance of power by one vote in the chamber, which is evenly divided, and casts sudden doubt on the outlook for President Bush's agenda in Congress.

The staff at Tattoo Mutiny are simply swell, consisting of pals Dave Price, Jay Misery, Chad Good and newbie Melissa Bennett. Although the shop is somewhat strangely located above a funeral parlour, and customers are often told to, "Look for the hearse," when they ask for directions, the atmosphere is never morbid. The shop is bright, airy, open and clean, and the artists are usually grinning at one odd thought or another. All lovers of Rock n' Roll and anything fun, things just don't seem so serious here.
Personal and Professional
Before you get your ink a consultation is mandatory, because at Tattoo Mutiny all work is custom. There is no giant wall of ugly examples from which you're forced to choose, and just about any idea is doable. The group prefers a challenge, and somehow manages to take every project to a new, beautiful dimension. If you don't want something that looks like it's been stamped on, then this is the place to go. Artists will discuss every detail from the content, dimension and location of the tattoo, and use their knowledgeable discretion to suggest the most perfect position and size according to your body type. Tattoo Mutiny makes the process personal, ensuring killer results that have inevitably recruited more than a few body art addicts. Trust these folks – they know what they're doing and they're very good at it.

I'm a bit confused about what a single-chip microcomputer is. Specifically, what is the difference between a single-chip microcomputer and a multi-chip microcomputer? (Since chip is so informal, what exactly does it refer to?)
Here are the main differences:
Single Chip
Single-chip computers are mainly of the form known as Microcontroller chips (the most commonly known are the PIC range by Microchip inc) and used in embedded devices. They provide much more basic functionality but are far simpler to work with as they don't require any external chips in order to function. Some attempts have been made to create single-chip computers of the style of Intel or AMD PC architectures, but due to the complexity of the components involved this has not been a very easy task. Again, these are generally used in low-end embedded systems, such as touch-pad devices and industrial control systems.
Traditional computers are Multi-Chip. Some of the most recent processors (some of the i series from Intel) include the video GPU in the processor IC, but they still require external chips in order to interface with the rest of the computer (PCI bridge, etc)
well, more precisely its a system on chip microcomputer - modern computers often have specialised chips and chipsets for particular roles - the northbridge - often integrated in to the processor die, and handing memory control, and certain specialised IO -and southbridge - which handled other IO on previous generations for example. A SOC is really all these specialised components, networking, memory, processor, video and such, crammed into a single chip. The advantage of this is lower cost per chip and lower latency , but with older process sizes, this wasn't possible - the chip would be too big, and you'd have lower yield.
A multiple chip computer might have seperate IO, memory and processing chips on seperate dies and packaging.
An example of a SOC system would be the AMD geode - contrast this with the intel 440 series (yes, its old, but its pretty much the ideal typical old school chipset)

The XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012), the preeminent conference dedicated to HIV/AIDS, held every two years, will be returning to Washington for the first time since 1987. The conference, presented by the International AIDS Society, has not been held in the U.S. since 1990, when it was held in San Francisco, due to restrictions – since lifted – on HIV-positive visitors to the U.S. The conference is expected to attract thousands of clinicians, policy makers and others to Washington from July 22 to 27, 2012, in an effort to shape an international response to the virus.
Councilmember David Catania (I-At Large), who chairs the Committee on Health, held a roundtable discussion regarding the planning and preparation of the conference on Thursday, June 9, at the John A. Wilson Building. At the meeting, Catania requested that conference organizers formulate a strategic plan for presenting the large event.
"The AIDS 2012 conference represents a unique opportunity to not only showcase our ability to host a conference of this size, but also provides the opportunity to put the District at the forefront of efforts to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic," Catania said.
"Despite the common narrative about the District's approach to HIV/AIDS, we are at the cutting edge of developing new and innovative ways to attack this epidemic."
The conference will allow leading researchers to talk about the latest scientific advances in the study of HIV/AIDS, as well as helping advocates share what's happening locally regarding prevention efforts in the spread of HIV in D.C.
Those offering testimony at the event included Wallace Corbett, a member of the AIDS 2012 Community Coalition; Dr. Gregory Pappas, senior deputy director at the HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Administration (HAHSTA); and Tiffany Chester, head of the local secretariat of the International AIDS Society.
International AIDS Society Conference 2012 will be held July 22-27, 2012, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. aids2012.org.

Softball Sweeps Doubleheader At La Salle
March 27, 2004
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Sophomore pitcher Jenna Busa (Lexington, Mass.) threw a one-hitter in game one while senior Jamie Cahalan (Mesa, Ariz.) and sophomore Katie Jo Kelley (Rainier, Ore.) both hit a pair of home runs in game two as the University of Massachusetts softball team (12-11, 2-0 A-10) swept a doubleheader at La Salle (4-16, 0-2), 2-0 and 8-1, this afternoon to open up Atlantic 10 Conference play.
In game one, UMass scored its only runs of the game in the first inning and both were unearned. Freshman Candice Molinari (Glendora, Calif.) led off with a single and then stole second base. Kelley followed with a single sending Molinari to third. After pinch runner Michea Holness (Beverly, Mass.) stole second base, the first run of the game scored when junior Pam Sulick (Mission Viejo, Calif.) reached on an error. One batter later, Cahalan reached base via a fielder's choice driving home Holness with the games' second run.
That would be all the offense that Busa would need. She just missed tossing her second straight no-hitter. The only blemish was a bloop single by Maureen Berard that was just over the head of sophomore Kristi Stefanoni (Columbus, N.J.) at second base in the fifth inning. Busa gave up four walks and struck out two and has now pitched 19.1 innings in a row without allowing an earned run.
In game two, Kelley got the Minutewomen on the board in the first with her first home run of the day. It was a towering shot to right-center field through a stiff breeze blowing straight in. In the fourth inning, Cahalan hit her first home run of the day, a solo shot to left field.
In the bottom of the fifth, La Salle got an unearned run to pull within a run at 2-1. It threatened for more with runners at first and third with two outs, but junior Kelli Arnold (Kalama, Wash.) induced a groundout by Amanda Clark to end the inning.
The Minutewomen then blew the game open with six runs in the top of the sixth. Kelley led off with a home run to left-center field. Threw batters later, Cahalan blasted a two-run home run to center. For Cahalan, it was her first career multi-home run game while Kelley did it for the second time. The four home runs set a new school record for most in a game.
UMass added three more runs in the inning to take an 8-1 lead. Junior Hilary Puglia (Stoneham, Mass.) drove in two with a triple off the right field fence and later scored on a wild pitch.
Arnold settled down and struck out five of the final six batters she faced to finish with a career-high 10. Just like Busa, she has thrown 19.1 straight innings without allowing an earned run. In the seventh inning, sophomore Shannon Houle (Charlton, Mass.) singled for her first hit of the season.
Massachusetts will play a doubleheader at Central Connecticut on March 30. First pitch is set for 2:30 p.m.

College Hockey:CCHA Alters Points Structure, Offers 3 Points for Regulation or OT Win
Shootout Wins Count for 2 Points; Shootout Losers Earn 1 Point
The CCHA is changing its standings point structure to allot the same number of points for each conference game.
That means regulation and overtime victories will be worth three points. If a game goes to a shootout after the NCAA-mandated five-minute overtime, the winning team will get two points in the standings and the losing team one point.
"We feel that this is a fairer system," CCHA commissioner Tom Anastos said in a news release. "Now, all teams will have access to the same number of points throughout the regular season and every game is worth three points whether it is decided in regulation time, overtime or a shootout. We also feel this will give teams an added incentive to win a game in regulation time or overtime because they will gain the maximum number of points for doing so."
Last season, the first in which the CCHA used the shootout format following tie games, a game would produce a total of two points if it was decided in regulation or overtime and three points if it went to a shootout.
Shootout results count only in the league's standings, not toward the RPI or PairWise Rankings that determine the field for the NCAA tournament.
If this year's point structure was in place last season, the standings would have looked slightly different.
Michigan and Miami tied for second place last season; the Wolverines would have held a seven-point advantage over the RedHawks under the new format.
Ferris State would have leapfrogged Nebraska-Omaha for eighth place, and Bowling Green would have moved past Michigan State for 11th.

For the past 20 years the Chemical Heritage Foundation's Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture has brought people of the highest distinction to Philadelphia for an evening of lively discussion. Academics, CEOs, government officials, university presidents, and others have all offered their perspectives on the chemical sciences' contributions to society. This year's honoree was Dr. Joseph M. DeSimone of the University of North Carolina.

It is an article of faith, especially in higher education, that student participation in research is utterly required for shaping attitudes, appreciation, and understanding of the scientific enterprise.

The universe is a big place. Estimates vary, but there are something like 1010 galaxies, 1022 stars, and 1080 atoms. Such numbers are hard to get your mind around, even in an era when trillions (1012) is commonly used when measuring government debt. But this is just the observable universe. Cosmologists are now pretty convinced that the true reality is a multiverse, or many parallel universes existing at the same time.

Like most contemporary people, I am a voracious consumer of information. I readily concede that possession of information does not ensure wisdom, but at least it raises the possibility of a more informed judgment about the state of the world. Leaving aside television and the Internet, my main info sources are podcasts and books. Here are a few current favorites from each category.

Without consulting a dictionary, I would say that a metaphor is a comparison that shows how two things not fundamentally the same have at least one thing in common.The periodic table, that veritable icon of science, has itself been used as a metaphor for countless ideas. And now, combining idioms, comes the Periodic Table of Metaphors, courtesy of artist Christoph Niemann.

Anyone familiar with the synthesis of complex organic molecules knows that it requires a clever combination of art, guile, dumb luck, and smart science. Wouldn't it be nice if everything needed to produce a molecule could be plopped into a single pot, stirred, and voila, out pops the finished product? Impossible, you say.

By now most readers will have heard about the July 9, 2009, Pew Research Center report on the attitudes of Americans on science and scientists. At one level the news is good: Americans hold scientists in high esteem and believe science contributes to our economic well-being. At another level, though, the Pew report reveals the seeds of future problems.

A cold war mentality shows clearly, as well as an uncritical belief in the power of science to solve all human problems. The color and typography are delightfully retro, but one also sees design elements that foreshadow contemporary tastes.

A report confirming the first movie of Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin is circulating online this evening, Jan. 30, 2014 (Philippine time), based on an article of philstar.com, written by Salve V. Asis, the concert queen together with the king of TV series will start shooting on Feb. 11.
The report did not reveal the title of the rumored first movie of Sarah and Coco, but Asis added that the report was confirmed by Viva Films big boss Mr. Vic Del Rosario Jr.
"On Feb. 11, Sarah and Coco will start shooting their first movie together. Mr. Vic Del Rosario confirmed to me that they will be doing a movie under Star Cinema and Viva Films, but the Viva Films boss has yet to give the possible title of the movie," Asis said.
Sarah Geronimo's last movie with box office king John Lloyd Cruz was a huge success, in fact, a lot of people believe that It Takes A Man and A Woman, her third and reunion movie with John Lloyd Cruz is the top grossing Filipino film of all time in a non-MMFF category.
As of this evening, both camps (Sarah and Coco) are still keeping their silence regarding the report, but for their fans and supporters, they will support their idol despite their willingness to see the fourth sequel of the movie A Very Special Love starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz.

Time-share troubles
Dear Dr. Don,
I have a time share in Florida that we have never used.
It was purchased in 2000. I was lied to about the taxes and the
upkeep. I have use of the time share every other year. How bad would
it hurt me if I let them foreclose on this property? I own my house
in Texas and I do not foresee needing to borrow money within the
next few years.
Randy Restitute
Dear Randy,
You need to hire a Florida real estate attorney to help
you make this decision. I'm not an attorney and can't provide you
with legal advice, but I can refer you to Florida
Statutes F.S. 721.80 time share Lien Foreclosure Act to give
you an idea of what you're up against. What's key are the legal
remedies available to the lender and the association in collecting
any deficiencies remaining after foreclosure.
Turning in your keys won't make the financial pain
go away and will ruin your credit rating to boot. Your notion that
you can outwait the negative information on your credit report to
get out from under this obligation doesn't consider the lender's
and the association's ability to pursue these claims in court.
As long as you're not judgment proof, meaning you
have a high enough income and net worth that the lender is likely
to collect when it wins a judgment against you, you're likely to
take a financial hit for the lender's lost equity and legal fees.
The association will seek to collect the outstanding maintenance
income, property taxes and legal fees.
The attorney can also review the sales contract to
see if you have a claim against the association for breach of contract,
or for its sales practices in selling you the time share. This,
however, is a bit of a long shot three years after the sale.
Filing complaints with the Better
Business Bureau and the Federal
Trade Commission may not provide any financial relief, but it
could stop other consumers from believing a salesperson's pitch
about taxes and maintenance.

Q&A: Mark Pettie; Keeping Alive 100 Years of Cheese Making
By LINDA TAGLIAFERRO
Published: March 8, 1998
WHEN Giuseppe Pollio passed through Ellis Island in 1899, he left much behind in his native Italy. But one prized possession he took with him was his skill as a cheese maker, and he became one of the first to introduce ricotta and mozzarella on a large scale to the United States.
The Pollio Dairy Company first opened in Coney Island and eventually moved to Port Washington and later Mineola, where the administrative offices remain to this day. Their products are known under the Polly-O label. The company produces 100 million pounds of cheese each year. If all of Polly-O's annual output of mozzarella and ricotta packages were strung end-to-end, they would stretch the length of Long Island 17 times.
Mark Pettie has been vice president and general manager of the business since 1996. Before joining the company, he had 16 years in the food industry. Mr. Pettie, who commutes from Westchester to Long Island, looks forward to the company's celebration of its 100th anniversary next year.
Q. Who are the greatest consumers of Italian cheeses?
A. The New York metro area, which includes Long Island, accounts for approximately 30 percent of the total Italian cheese eaten in the United States. The fact that so much of this is concentrated in one location is an amazing statistic. It points to the bond that Polly-O has developed with the community here and it's one reason why Long Island is always going to be an essential part of our business.
Q. What products does your company produce?
A. We are really two businesses in one. We have a retail business, which you can see in the grocery stores, but roughly half of our business is in food service. We provide a large number of the Italian specialty shops and restaurants in the area with Italian cheese.
Whether we're talking about retail or food service, we basically have two main products, which at this point are ricotta and mozzarella. The preponderance of our business is still in our whole milk products, the hearty Italian cheeses that are our heritage, but within each of those product lines, we have a number of different varieties.
Q. Has the recent concern over cholesterol affected your business?
A. Health concerns in general have been on the consumer's radar screen over the past several years. Polly-O was among the first to introduce low-fat and fat-free ricottas and mozzarellas. We were also the first to pioneer a low-fat version of our string cheese, which is primarily a kids' product for healthy snacking.
Q. Where is your cheese produced?
A. Virtually all of our cheese is produced in a plant in Campbell, N.Y., about 80 miles west of Binghamton. It's a small town, right in the heart of the New York dairy community, so this insures that we get nothing but the freshest, top Grade A milk possible for our business, and yet it's close enough to our major market here in New York and Long Island to insure that the freshness continues throughout the chain as we make the product over there, ship it overnight to our Long Island City and Waterbury, Conn., distribution centers and then the next day, get it out to the stores in our trucks.
Q. Why do you think the Pollio company has been so successful for close to 100 years?
A. I think it all comes down to some simple statements. The first is quality as manifested in the taste and performance of our products. I think that we connected with the Italian palate early on and have stayed connected with those consumers throughout the tremendously long time that we've been around.
Second is innovation, and I think there are even greater opportunities for us in the future in terms of new products, and the third, although it may sound odd and less tangible, is passion. I think if you track back through the history of the company, you can see the passion in the family that first brought the business to America, and promoted and developed it here.
When I walk into the office every day and see that passion continuing with all the folks I work with in Mineola, all the people on the Island and in our sales force, I can see how they believe strongly in this product's unwavering quality, which has continued for almost 100 years.
Q. Are there any of Giuseppe Pollio's relatives who work for the company?
A. The last active member of the Pollio family in the business was Joseph Pollio Sr. and he retired in 1993. He was a third-generation Pollio family member. I would say the family certainly had a major role in the running of the business through Joseph's retirement.
There are still many employees, who although not Pollio family members, have been with the company for 20, 30 or 40 years.
Q. How has the company managed to keep up the tradition that Giuseppe Pollio brought from Italy?
A. Obviously the family involvement throughout the decades was a major influence on the quality and the heritage. We've made sure that we moved into the modern era with its technology and equipment, but the traditions of the types of raw materials used and how to prepare our products live on.
Q. How did selling the Pollio company to Kraft affect its production?

I'm into science fiction books about SHTF. I read and enjoyed both One Second After and Patriots. I'm looking for more books along these lines if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

I'm into science fiction books about SHTF. I read and enjoyed both One Second After and Patriots. I'm looking for more books along these lines if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.
How about The Road by Cormac McCarthy?
My favorites:
"Lights Out" by Halffast
"Lucifer's Hammer" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
Both are good books. Lights Out can be found in pdf by googling it. Lucifer's Hammer may be at your local library.
Im reading right now Alas,babylon and it is VERY good as well. I did like One Second After as well!
Unintended Consequences by John Ross. Very, very timely.
Also, if you're specifically looking for Sci-Fi, check out a book called "Voyage From Yesteryear" by James P. Hogan. Its EOTWAWKI sci-fi but in a very imaginative way.
Just finished alas,babylon and would highly recomend it.
"Lights Out" is one of my favorites, along with "Patriots".
Not sure if it's really sci-fi, but it is distopian. The Gunslinger series by Stephen King. The first book is a bit rough, but considering he wrote it in college I'll forgive him. The second, third and fourth are all solid though, five and six differ a bit in the direction I'd have liked to see. And seven sucks, because it ends the series.
If you haven't heard of it, a man name Roland is the last of the gunslingers. Essentially the knights (without the rape, incest and all the other good stuff that destroys are childhood notions of them) of their world. It has really hit the fan where he is, time has shifted, directions are no longer the same and the world is coming to the end.
Thanks guys... I'm checking my kindle now to see which ones are available I appreciate the input.
Ayn Rand- "Atlas Shrugged"
Ripped from todays headlines... in the 50's !
Most of David Drake's Sci Fi works have elements of TEOTWAWKI. They focus around military conflict in the future and have very good descriptive portions of the chaos that surrounds civilians displaced by war.
Would like to study about law.........
The best place of guidance is here because we know that finding the right Criminal Attorney can be tough, and that the process can be confusing. That's why we provide you with a list of the best Criminal Attorneys in Top Hits.
There is a gentleman " Michael Z Williamson" That has written a number of books. I ran into his name on the "survival Blog" by Rawles who wrote Patriots. He has a book "Freehold" that is a way in the future science fiction that espouses freedom and self reliance. They are a separate planetary system that the UN of Earth tries to take over. I really liked the attitude and the battle action. It was worth the money!

At Easterday Farms we like to say "we pack family pride in every package". From the early stages of planting, to final phase of packaging and shipping you will find that the Easterday family is actively involved in all aspects of delivering you high quality, safe produce you can trust.
We are a family owned and operated farming business. We believe that the size of our business is a unique balance between the economy and efficiency of scales and the attention to detail necessary for customer satisfaction. We are a proud grower and packer of conventionally raised onions and potatoes. The ideal combination of sun, water and mineral rich alluvial soil in the Columbia Basin make for perfect conditions for farming potatoes and onions. The land and weather patterns in our region allow us to carefully control water and nutrients to the plants for greater sustainable yields reflected in the affordable produce we offer our customers. We use the latest technology in farming and post harvest operations to produce onions and potatoes that are high quality, safe, sustainable, and affordable.
written by Jody Easterday
The Easterday family roots are deep in agriculture and the Washington state potato and onion industry.
In 1958, my grandfather Ervin Easterday moved his family and farming operation from Nampa, Idaho to southeastern Washington state where he purchased 300 acres of undeveloped land designated to be part of the new Columbia Basin Reclamation Irrigation project. With a meager annual rainfall of 7" per year, this new supply of irrigation from Grand Coulee Dam changed this land forever. As a young man, my father Gale Easterday said he worked what seemed like endless hours on a Caterpillar leveling and clearing this new ground so water would run down the furrows.
The allure of "fresh dirt" was powerful, and it compensated for the hard work and resilience necessary to make it successful. Although it was the tenacity of the women involved that really made it all work. Prior to the introduction of pivot irrigation which controls dust and blowing dirt, the early years were hard on those trying to keep tidy houses and clean kitchens and make this new area "home". But the responsibilities of my grandmother, aunts and mother went beyond the house as they were the tractor and truck drivers, cattle herders and water changers when a spare hand was needed – and that was often.
By 1979 Gale and Karen (my mother) were the sole owners of Easterday Farms. We had a large family of five kids and growing up, we all worked on the farm. In 1989 my brother Cody became a partner and Easterday Farms was once again a father/son enterprise. Easterday Farms has now grown to over 14,000 acres – comprising of potatoes, onions, corn and wheat. The grain products are used to feed cattle in the Easterday Ranches feedlots. The operations of the farm and feedlots are under the direction of Cody Easterday . Another brother, Cully Easterday is the farm agronomist. The fresh onions and potatoes are packed by Easterday Farms Produce Company, and sold to customers on both the domestic and international markets. The packing houses are managed and operated by my husband Andrew Wills and myself. My father continues to be very involved in all aspects of the farms, ranches and packing houses, and remains our resident expert when it comes to anything involving "iron" (or equipment in layman terms).
We are also partnered with our cousins - the Weyns family of Royal City, Washington. They grow all of the red and white onions and red and yellow potatoes. Ko and Kees Weyns carry on the tradition of Ervin Easterday with their passion for farming.
