Calling transformational entrepreneurs who are tired of hating sales and ready to claim a 6-figure income with passion, integrity and a commitment to action.
Revealed: A System For Transformational Entrepreneurs
Who Want To Help More Clients (Even Though They HATE Sales)
From: Pamela Bruner,
Money and Marketing Expert
Asheville, NC USA
Thursday 9:00 AM
Dear Transformational Entrepreneur,
Frustrated because your business is STILL not booking enough clients? Chances are it's because you haven't mastered the sales part.
The truth is, the driving force behind a successful business is sales. And it breaks my heart every time I hear a gifted, hardworking, heart-centered entrepreneurs just like you say, "I could have a 6-figure business...if only I didn't hate to sell."
Are you...
- really tired of hating sales (and want to never again experience that sinking feeling you get when it's time to have a sales conversation)
- faithfully meeting your goals of talking to prospects but getting only "no" answers (and every "no" feels like a knife directly to your heart)
- sabotaging your get-acquainted calls because you love delivering content but hurry over the part where you have to start selling (and your energy drops abruptly when you turn on the marketing switch)
- practicing a dozen "hot" sales techniques (but you feel sleazy and inauthentic when you try them on real prospects, and they aren't working anyway)
- offering discounts as soon as you mention your price (because you secretly think they won't pay your full price)
- frozen in silence when your prospect says, "I can't afford it" (because you don't know what to say next)
- wondering if you might have to give up your business because you can't imagine yourself selling enough to earn a living
I'm Pamela Bruner, and I remember those feelings so well.
Can you relate to these scenarios?
- "I can't imagine what it would feel to actually LIKE sales."
- "I'm doing all the right things to sell, but I'm NOT getting the results."
- "To be successful at sales, I'd have to become a person without a conscience."
- "I know I can't sell well, but I don't know what I need to change."
- "When I try to sell, I feel like I'm giving up my values. I'm becoming someone I'm not (and I don't like her very much)."
- "Selling my services? I'd have to sell my soul first."
Like most conscious entrepreneurs, I struggled for years because I hated to sell. I read books on sales, and learned from masters. But my business grew from $375/month to $1,000,000 in under 3 years, when I learned this life-changing lesson:
Success Begins When You STOP Focusing On Sales Techniques
and START Developing Your Inner Game
If you were learning to play golf, you'd study with a pro. You'd learn how to swing a club and drive the ball a long way. That's your outer game. But you wouldn't start winning tournaments until you worked on your inner game. To win, you'd spend as much time on mental preparation as you would practicing in the field. The truth is... All the practical techniques in the world won't work, if you don't have Your Inner Game. Sales works the same way. You start winning when you combine "How to" techniques with a TOTAL mastery of your inner game.
But where do you learn the inner game of sales? Most sales training...
... focuses on techniques and tips that *will* bring results... but only after you've mastered your own inner game.
... won't help you align your energy with authentic sales (so you achieve more success with absolute integrity).
... reinforces the myth that sales and service are direct opposites.
I've been where you are. I knew I needed to develop my inner game, but where could I go? My own sales training left me more frustrated than before. I knew EFT Tapping but nobody knew how to help me tap my way to sales success. Nobody was teaching the mental sales game, so I had to figure it out on my own.
You get to benefit from my experience. You don't have to invest years of your life or thousands of dollars to win your inner game. Now you can learn my secrets and win your own inner game in just 30 days!
After years of struggling with my business and barely making ends meet... and after just on eyear of coaching with Pamela, I just made $95,000 in two months' time! Oh, my word!
Not only was marketing easy, but selling my very high-ticket program was just so much fun!
I couldn't have done it without you, Pamela!
Thank you soooooo much!
I just sold a "HELP! I Need a Miracle" Package <-- I made up that package name yesterday for $4997!!!
I was talking to myself in my head about lowering the price and cutting the student a deal (because, before working with Pamela I just charged $100/hour), BUT, I remembered what Pamela wrote to me, "If you're making miracles happen, you need to be paid for miracles!" Sooo, I stuck with the price.
And, her biggest concern was if she could make two payments and from where and how fast she could get that first payment to me!
This whole process... has truly transformed my life.
What would your life be like if you could ...
- Reap the rewards of a full practice with clients who rave about working with you, because your sales conversations lead to 'Yes!'
- Enjoy every sales conversation because you know exactly how to respond to any objection and question.
- Feel calm and confident during every sales conversation because your energy works for you and not against you.
- State your fees without hesitation, knowing you deliver real value.
- Never fear rejection again.
- Feel aligned with your purpose so you feel like a winner every time you talk to a prospect, no matter what the outcome.
Introducing: Tapping Into The Inner Game Of Sales
This program is for you if:
- You've been avoiding sales even though you're not getting the clients and success you need to earn a comfortable living.
- You've downloaded some hot sales techniques but resist the idea of implementing them (or you just can't get them to work for you).
- You know it's time to start selling and finally get your business off the ground (and you are determined to remain in alignment with your values)
- You're tired of experiencing a conflict between head and heart, and being told it's normal and you shouldn't worry about how you feel (trust me, you CAN'T sell effectively that way)
- You want direct experience with the one-of-a-kind EFT Tapping programs that I developed specifically for developing your inner game of sales (not just a "feel good" formula or empty rah-rah phrases)
Lots of people talk about the Inner Game. What's different about this program?
You already bring an inner game to every sales conversaton - the game you've been creating since your earliest childhood memories. If you're not getting the results you desire (or if you hate the whole idea of selling), your inner game is based on conflict and fear.
Most sales trainers try to change your inner game with a few encouraging words or some tough talk. That's about as effective as telling someone with a fear of heights, "Hey - just walk to the edge and you'll be fine."
No way. Even if you go through the motions, you won't deal with your Inner Game ... and now you REALLY hate selling more than ever.
You don't need a cheerleader. You need to reprogram the decades of learning you've already acquired - the "knowledge" that is keeping you confused, frustrated and poor. You need a new belief system based on integrating heart-centered values and sales ... a new Inner Game so you can begin to sell easily and effortlessly.
The Inner Game Of Sales is the ONLY program that gives you the tools - EFT Tapping - and the ingredients you need for a belief system specfically related to growing your business through effective sales ... and actually enjoying the activities you used to dread, because you're not doing them the same way anymore.
Are you ready to reprogram your sales efforts from the inside out...
and master your Inner Game in just 30 days?
When I called Pamela, I was at my wit's end, literally in tears about my business. I wasn't selling my work, I hated marketing, and didn't know if I could keep going financially or emotionally.p>
Together we created a brand that helped me focus on what I love to do most: take beautiful photos of flowers. My sales have increased substantially, doubling and even quadrupling at some of the events that I do. To my surprise, I've begun to enjoy marketing ... along with the rest of my life, too!
The best part: I'm more confident than I've ever been. I've gone from being uncomfortable talking about my work to actually enjoying conversations with customers and collectors.
When you join the Inner Game of Sales program, here's exactly what you get:
Take the first steps to transform your sales energy - forever. Just as athletes learn how to prepare mentally for championship games, you'll discover how to develop a mindset that lets you get comfortable with selling.
- 3 reasons most heart-centered entrepreneurs feel sales is "everything I don't want to be" (and how to transform your energy so sales feels authentic and fulfilling)
- Feel inspired instead of exhausted when you engage in sales converations
- A new game of sales, and why it's PERFECT for transformational entrepreneurs (and how to play, why to play...)
- Harness the power of your Sales Archetype so you match your sales style to YOUR personality
- Get started using EFT Tapping to develop and fine-tune your inner game of sales
Many conscious entrepreneurs get stalled because they view sales as a conflict between what they should do and aligns with their purpose -the reason they started out in the first place. This conflict will drain your energy and often sabotage your efforts during the most critical moments of the sales conversation. After this session, you will actually feel what it's like to sell with authenticity.
- How to start a sales conversation as naturally as a meeting with an old friend
- The top 10 "Sales = Sleaze" beliefs (and how to stop the myths from sabotaging your success)
- How to remove the 3 inner saboteurs most business owners don't know about (and they will kill your sales every time)
- How to never again experience an "energy drop" between giving information and making an offer (so you're strong and calm throughout the conversation)
- The single most important mindset transformation that lets you sell like a superstar (even if you have always hated sales)
For most conscious entrepreneurs, the biggest block to sales is the sense of a gap between "service" and "marketing." After this session you will be comfortable using 5 of the most effective selling tools I've ever developed, because you realize you are serving your client even while you are selling.
- Sales Maximizer: Word-for-word sales scripts based on service, specifically for heart-centered businesses
- The secret to giving your prospective clients MORE space instead of pressuring them (a tip that will probably increase your sales conversions by 20% or more)
- How to quickly recognize the 5 most common buying styles (and so you can move to "yes" and begin helping clients faster)
- How to use objections to help you close the sale respectfully (even the dreaded "I don't have the money")
Many conscious entrepreneurs have learned a way to think about compassion that actually keeps them from serving clients. Compassion is one of the most misunderstood qualities of the heart-centered entrepreneur. In this module you will discover how to maintain your energy and integrity during the most critical (and sometimes most scary) moments of the sales conversation.
- How you can use compassionate energy to charge more, sell more AND serve more clients.
- The big 'Ask' - how to move from sales to service.
- Handling the close from a balanced, calm energy that leaves you feeling authentic (and gives the prospect more room to say "Yes")
- Why you actually hurt your prospective clients when you give too much of the wrong thing in a sales conversation (and what you should give them instead.)
Are you leaving money on the table by addressing groups without offering anything for sale? Or do you make a hurried offer at the end of a talk, dreading the reaction of your audience when they hear you 'selling them something'?
- The secret to making an offer that's so powerful and heart-centered, people will thank you for it.
- Earning big money from a small group talk, even when you're told you 'can't sell'.
- The 3 questions to ask an audience so you maximize every opportunity.
|The Sales Maximizer: Word-for-word sales scripts based on service, specifically for heart-centered businesses.

Your investment is just $497
For the right person the decision will be a no-brainer. You can earn back your investment with one new client! and you will learn how to get many more clients from closing more sales. This is the ONLY program (as far as I know) where you get not just the Inner Game sales mindset, but the EFT tapping tools to make it happen.
That's right, $2,000 in 1 day, using what Pamela Bruner taught me in a very short time. She is incredibly gifted in what she does and makes it feel like fun. The success I have just experienced is all because I learned some incredible TIPS from Pamela, and I used them.
In all my years of business, I have never received results like these. I was able to reach people I never could before. It has opened up doors for me, I didn't think were possible, and this is only the beginning. My mind is stimulated with even more ideas to incorporate from what Pamela is teaching me, and I can't wait to try them out.
No Risk Guarantee: Take the first two classes, if you are not completely satisfied provide written notice requesting a refund to BEFORE the THIRD class, your money will be cheerfully refunded. Every penny.
"Yes, Pamela - count me in!"
"I am ready to get serious about learning to enjoy sales and I'm ready to experience action. I am ready to step up and make a difference in the world.
"I understand I have nothing to lose because I can request a full refund before the 3rd class if I'm not satisfied. However, I also realize I have everything to gain - more clients, more revenue, more freedom and more opportunities to make a difference."
Your investment is just $497
P. S. Where will you be in 30 days? When you take this course you'll be attracting more clients, earning more revenue..and actually looking forward to your sales calls!
I had set up 20 sales calls over a 3 day period to promote a new program. The first day I didn't get one sale and was feeling really frustrated.
I spoke to Pamela for 15 minutes where she suggested I tweak one thing in my sales process. The result? $9200 in sales over the next 48 hours!
Need I say anymore?
I have a heart-centered business so I didn't want to come across salesy or inauthentic. Pamela was able to help me find a way to sell more and to increase my profits but do it the way that I want.
If you are considering taking it up quite a few notches, this woman knows what she's talking about.
She's done it herself. And not only has she done it herself, she is a brilliant facilitator and coach. She has the experience and she can teach you to how to do it. She's awesome!

About half of the Astragalus species contain notrotoxins (NPA, NPOH). These include plants such as Wasatch milkvetch, Columbia milkvetch, Yellowstone milkvetch, red stemmed pea vine, and other species and varieties of Astragalus. Cattle of all ages are highly susceptible to the poisoning. Even when other forage is available, cattle readily eat milkvetch.
Plants are poisonous from the time they emerge until they dry up in late summer or are killed by frost. Milkvetch poisoning may be mistaken for larkspur poisoning.
Wasatch milkvetch is a perennial that is found on rolling hillsides above 200 meters. It grows 15 to 25 cm high. Flowers of Wasatch milkvetch resemble sweet peas. They vary in color from creamy white to shades of violet.
The poisonous substance in Wasatch, Yellowstone, and Columbia milkvetch is the b-D-glucoside of 3-nitro-1-propanol, or miserotoxin. Other milkvetches contain glucosides of 3-nitropropionic acid which are metabolized to toxic 3-nitro-1-propanol. Toxicity is caused by both inhibition of cellular metabolism and nitrite oxidization of hemoglobin. Over 260 North American Astragalus species and varieties contain varying amount of these nitro-toxins.
Where and When it GrowsMilkvetches grow throughout much of North America. Most of the poisonous species grow on the meadows and forests of the Rocky Mountain States and in the semiarid regions of the Southwest. Milkvetches emerge from late April to June, depending on elevation and snowmelt. As plants mature and dry, they decrease in toxicity until they are nontoxic when they are dry.
How it Affects LivestockCattle, horses, and sheep have been poisoned. Poisoning results in pulmonary emphysema (commonly seen in sheep) and spinal cord demyelination (commonly occurs in cattle). Milkvetch toxins act quickly with most animals that ingest lethal doses dying in 4-25 hours. One kg of green milkvetch may be a lethal dose for a 500-kg cow. Animals that die quickly may not show clinical signs; but more often, animals die within 3 or 4 hours after eating the plant. These acutely poisoned animals generally show muscular weakness progressing to paralysis such that affected animals fall after the slightest excitement. The heart rate is often extremely high. Although they appear bright, they quickly die. The exact cause of death in these cases has not been determined, but it is thought to be caused by the milkvetch toxin's fatal cardiovascular effects.
Chronic intoxication most often occur in cattle and sheep from grazing any of the toxic varieties of Astragalus slowly over a period of several days or weeks. Poisoned animals generally have respiratory problems and varying degrees of posterior paralysis. These animals develop extensive pulmonary emphysema and demyelination of the posterior spinal cord. This condition occurs in most of the Western States and western Canada.
Signs and Lesions of Acute Poisoning
How to Reduce LossesPrevent animals from grazing these plants in their early growth when toxin level is high and following rain, which increases plant metabolism. There is no known treatment for milkvetch poisoning.
Milkvetches can be controlled with 2,4-D (1 kg ae/Ac), picloram or clopyralid (100 gm ae/Ac), and metsulfuron (10 gm ai/Ac) are effective. Treat plants before they reach full bloom. Follow all precautions for handling herbicides.

Garrett Lisi epitomizes every suburban mom/high school teacher's worst nightmare: a surfer living on the beach, doctorate in theoretical physics sitting on the shelf while he guides hikes and builds bridges, the possibility of being homeless next month pretty good. Well, think again! Lisi's online article, "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything," has struck the scientific world like a lightening bolt, outlining a new theory of the universe based on the mathematical pattern E8. While former theories linked three of the four fundamental forces in the universe, Lisi's model also incorporates the elusive force of gravity as well. "My brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing…I thought: 'Holy crap, that's it!'" Duu-ude.
Last week, the Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) announced it has awarded $2.7 million in grants to 33 researchers to study basic questions in physics and cosmology.
Among the grant winners was surfer/theoretical physicist A. Garrett Lisi (pictured), who made the news last year with an unpublished paper entitled 'An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything.' Lisi will get $77,222 to work on his theory, which involves using a recently mapped 248-dimension mathematical structure called E8 to unify all the fundamental particles and forces, including gravity. In the last round of awards in 2006, FQXi gave Lisi $77,280 over two years.
E8 encapsulates the symmetries of a geometric object that is 57-dimensional and is itself is 248-dimensional. Lisi says "I think our universe is this beautiful shape."
What makes E8 so exciting is that Nature also seems to have embedded it at the heart of many bits of physics. One interpretation of why we have such a quirky list of fundamental particles is because they all result from different facets of the strange symmetries of E8.
Lisi's breakthrough came when he noticed that some of the equations describing E8's structure matched his own. "My brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing," he tells New Scientist. "I thought: 'Holy crap, that's it!'"
What Lisi had realized was that he could find a way to place the various elementary particles and forces on E8's 248 points. What remained was 20 gaps which he filled with notional particles, for example those that some physicists predict to be associated with gravity.
Physicists have long puzzled over why elementary particles appear to belong to families, but this arises naturally from the geometry of E8, he says. So far, all the interactions predicted by the complex geometrical relationships inside E8 match with observations in the real world. "How cool is that?" he says.
I wonder if the 'eureka' of the 21st century is going to be 'Holy crap, that's it!'
I think it's great that he's breaking all the stereotypes of what a scientist should be...

Late in the second half of the Reds' 1-0 defeat a fan ran onto the pitch at St Helens' Langtree Park stadium and appeared to direct abuse at Liverpool striker Adam Morgan before tussling with stewards as he was led away. There were also two instances of flares being set off in the stands, with one being thrown onto the pitch.
The Football Association has confirmed to Press Association Sport it is looking into events at the match and is to write to the two clubs involved.
There were also reports of distasteful chants being made by a section of the visiting support but Merseyside Police said no complaints had been made to them and there was no record of any incidents in which they were involved at the fixture.
Fans of the two north-west clubs have a well-documented rivalry at first-team level but this is not the first time a youth-team match has been affected.
Almost two years ago at an FA Youth Cup game at Anfield a minority of away supporters sang songs about the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters, a flare was let off, there were three arrests for drunkenness and six United fans were ejected from the ground.

WIMBLEDON, England Three-time champion Serena Williams has advanced to the final of Wimbledon after defeating unseeded Czech Petra Kvitova 7-6 (5), 6-2.
The top-seeded Williams needed more than 90 minutes to overcome Kvitova, who was playing in her first Grand Slam semifinal.
Williams was broken in the fifth game of the first set but forced a tiebreaker after breaking back in the eighth game.
The American squandered two set points before winning the tiebreaker after racing to a 4-0 lead.
Williams converted her third match point in the second set after breaking Kvitova on consecutive occasions in the fifth and seventh games.

Google Quick Search Box is an open source search box that allows you to search data on your computer and across the web.
This app is very experimental, but through it you will be able to see many of the areas we are exploring: contextual search, actions, and extensibility. It is by no means feature-complete, but is a very good indication of things to come.

As a long time QuickSilver user I was happy to move to GQSB knowing that the same developer was behind both systems. There are still a few crashes and a lack of shortcut triggers, but it's generally enjoyable to use.
I love this! Another great tool from google
But one issue: I use AppFresh for updating, and I notice that it never gets taken off the list, so I have to right-click->Skip update for it.
Great update. Now I can type "mate" to get TextMate and "goor" for Google Reader. Gonna try this for a couple days as a actual Quicksilver replacement.
I still think Butler has them all beat. That is when you compare memory usage, stability, features and all together. Weighing the pluses and minuses of each... Butler is my fave. Don't get me wrong, I wish QuickSilver was stable. I wish QuickSilver wasn't being left to die... but as a free app, that can happen and we can't really complain.
Gonna give GQSB a good try this afternoon.
What does this have over LaunchBar that's worthy of notion, except for the freeware/commercial difference?
I had no idea this existed until recently but it is awesome. I hate that I depend on Google more and more but this app is badass. a little buggy but i am sure they are working on it. I was never a big fan of quicksilver but this seems to suit my tastes better.
This easily beats Launchbar and Butler, though it isn't yet a Quicksilver replacement it could easily be. Integrated Google search results are better that scanning bookmarks.
I'd been considering making the leap from QS (unstable and dying) to LaunchBar, but glad this came out before I put down my dollar. Right now QSB is also quite unstable, but I'm willing to give it a while to calm down.... It's like Alcor took everything good about QS and wrapped it up in a much tidier package. This app is very promising (but, as I said, still quite unstable right now...)
I'd switched over to the new beta of Launchbar with QS being so unstable for me... This app isn't terribly stable either but I'm going to stick with it for a bit and see how things shape up... It's quite promising so far...
LaunchBar is the best I've seen in the genre.

The Foundation
Support the BLF
MBLC Grant
The Belmont Library was awarded a $7.5 million grant from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) in October, 2012 for a new library project estimated at $18.5 million. The Library Trustees returned the grant funding in June, 2013 due to a vote by the Belmont School Committee which would not allow for a transfer of high school land to be used as the site for the new library.
The Library is considering reapplying for another MBLC grant round in the future.
ABout the Foundation
The Belmont Library Foundation (BLF) exists to promote the construction and endowment of a new public library in Belmont. More about BLF...
The need for a new library
It's all about space. The current main library building is simply too small to offer all the services that Belmont demands. Our circulation figures continue to be among the highest in the Commonwealth. Read more about the need and the benefits of a new building.
We're involved in a new grant round, which will fund up to 50% of the cost of a new library for Belmont. (That's more than the previous grant would have provided.)

Caribbean carnival culminates with parade
By The Canadian Press
TORONTO - Toronto's Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival culminates today with its annual parade, which typically bustles with colourful costumes, upbeat music and dancing in the streets.
Commonly called Caribana, the event is in its 47th year, billing itself an "explosion of Caribbean cuisine, music, revelry as well as visual and performing arts."
The parade is the marquee event of the three-week festival and winds along a 3 1/2-kilometre stretch of Toronto's Lakeshore Boulevard.
A spokesman says the festival has improved safety after the death of a Mississauga, Ont., teenager who was run over by a float at last year's parade.
Stephen Weir says the trucks are now equipped with protective skirts.
He says the parade celebrates the end of slavery in the Caribbean, and the simple joy of freely walking down the street.
"It's six to eight hours of people jumping up and waving flags and listening to soca music and steel bands," he said. "It's one of those things you can see it as a thing about emancipation or it can be a thing about just having a good time in the summer in Toronto. Both are equally right."
Parade participants picked up their intricate outfits earlier this week, applying finishing touches and getting in the festival spirit. Nevrene Lindo said he was preparing by dancing in her room to infectious soca beats. Lindo, whose background is Jamaican, said first-time parade attendees should drink lots of water and rest up ahead of time.
"Everyone's out there just having fun and letting the music just flow through their veins," she said. "It may seem overwhelming, but I would say they would enjoy it and they would probably want to come back. It's a lot of fun. Everyone is so nice. There's different cultures that will come out and...when you're going for the first time you'll learn new dances."
Jane Soosaipillai has never participated in the parade before, nor is her heritage Caribbean, but she said she couldn't pass up the opportunity when a friend asked if she wanted to join.
"I figure if you're living in a city like Toronto where it's multicultural you should get in on everything that you can," she said. "I feel a little out of my territory, but I like that feeling. I feel like because I'm doing it I'm going to learn a lot more than people just looking in."
This year will be Lateisha Williams's seventh participating in the parade. Williams, who is part Bajan and part Jamaican, said even though the weather forecast is calling for a chance of thunderstorms, rain or shine the parade is fun — especially the music.
"When you see like 20,000 masqueraders on the road it's incredible," she said. "I love soca music...It's just something that makes you happy. When you hear soca it's just, you want to jump. You want to jump up and down. You want to smile."

Hugo Robledo: Kidney Cancer
In 1994, Hugo Robledo had seen better days. Recovering from seven months of unemployment, shoulder surgery and a death in the family, kidney cancer was the last thing he needed—but there it was, a large mass on the CAT scan.
With his mother-in-law's death from cancer still fresh on his mind, Hugo thought, "I'm dead." Indeed, things did look grim. MD Anderson surgeons took one look in February 1995 and closed Hugo up again, saying the nine-pound tumor needed to be shrunk before they could operate successfully. "I woke up in the hospital with my wife, Thelma, crying over me, and I really thought I was dead," he remembers. "Turns out, she was upset because our truck had been stolen!"
Surgeons operated again a month later, but it was still touch-and-go. Hugo found out later that they stopped twice during the daylong procedure, but managed to pull him through.
Hugo was preparing for the worst, wrapping up his affairs and getting his son to convince Thelma to marry again after he was gone. While he might have given up, his family and friends did not. "My wife is a tough woman, and never cut me any slack," he says. "My kids, Jennifer, Lori and Hugo Jr. have always been close to me, and they wouldn't leave me alone."
These days, Hugo doesn't believe in procrastination. He finally made good on longstanding promises to buy another Harley and take Thelma to Las Vegas. "I always lived for 'one of these days,' but not anymore. I live for today and tomorrow, and thank God if I'm here next year."

The first-ever FWW Live, as it happenedcomments (9) August 9th, 2012 in blogs, videos
Fine Woodworking Live has been a long time coming, and finally, it was here. We loaded workbenches and tools into the Student Union at SUNY New Paltz, checked the closeup video cameras and projection screens in each classroom, put the beer on ice, and then saw the cars start pulling in from points far and wide, and off we all went.
At the opening night reception, I pointed to the words on the back cover of our 25th anniversary issue, "Working Alone but Sharing a Passion," and share we did. For three busy days, attendees from as far as Israel, Brazil, Germany, and Malaysia had a ball meeting each other, flipping through iPad portfolios, filling their notebooks with invaluable info, and having a laugh.
They rotated through power-packed seminars where Steve Latta took apart classic pieces to unlock the fundamentals of construction, Rollie Johnson took apart flea-market hand planes to show how to easy it is to turn them into top-notch tools, Michael Fortune demonstrated five amazing ways to bend wood, with steam rising, air pumping, laminates flexing, and on and on.
More from FWW Live
FWW Live: The fun stuff
FWW Live: The sessions
There was plenty of time between sessions to chat with one's woodworking heroes, eat good food, hang out with the demonstrators from Lie-Nielsen and Lee Valley, and make new friends. We'll be sending all attendees a contact list including all their fellows who were willing to share info.
And if that wasn't enough, there was entertainment. Almost 100 people showed up for game/music night. At one point, we had people from all corners of the globe singing House of The Rising Sun, with the amazing Rollie Johnson filling in on mandolin. And I got my butt kicked at billiards by a guy 30 years my senior.
One of the big hits of the weekend was "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," an all-conference morning session where our so-called masters of the craft risked their reputations by showing the biggest clunkers of their career. We cracked up at Steve Latta's "curb furniture," Rollie Johnson's giant chicken feet, Mike Pekovich's diving board table, and the capper, Michael Fortune's unintentionally fecal salt and pepper shakers.
And FWW-groupie Nick Offerman, from NBC's Parks & Recreation, both charmed and alarmed the Saturday-night banquet crowd with original songs written for the show, like "I Chalk the Line," and edgy excerpts from his college comedy tour. Let's just say I'll insist on a full preview from next year's entertainer! Click the video below for his loving and hilarious homage to the presenters.
In the end, I heard rave reviews for the whole experience, with valuable feedback for next time (no more turkey bacon). Fine Woodworking Live finally happened, taking people who work alone and giving them a wonderful opportunity to meet each other and share their passion for the craft, recharge their woodworking batteries, and just have fun.
I hope a few of you will post a comment below to share your experiences.
My undying thanks to all the presenters, food-service workers, camera operators, special guests and everyone who made this amazing event happen.

Jalen and I would like to you and your team for putting on a great event. It was one of the highlights of our year. The classes were great but I think the best part was meeting all of the people from the writers and editors to the fellow woodworkers. I believe those will be what keeps people coming back year after year. I know this was a tremendous amount of work and we would like to just say thanks again.

Nick's entertainment was hilarious, I was no more offended by it than I am by today's editorials. "I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine."

PARKERSBURG - High school football players Wednesday got a taste of sports conditioning military-style.
Area National Guard officers, in cooperation with local football coaches, put students through their paces Wednesday at Stadium Field with a variety of military-style challenges, ranging from rock wall climbing to exercising with chains to pushing a 12,000-pound armored Humvee across a parking lot.
The "Push the Limit" program was brought to the schools by Sgt. First Class Clay Edwards who thought the exercises would give the students a change from traditional conditioning exercises while adding team-building opportunities.

Military-style challenges brought to athletes
Edwards was joined by members of the 1092nd Engineer Battalion of the National Guard, and said the program was offered to PHS and PSHS football players.
"It gives the football players a little different kind of training," he said. "Just like the military, they have to work in a lot of smaller units ,which require a lot of teamwork."
Edwards said he hopes to revisit the teams throughout the training season.

Parkersburg High School freshmen football players scale a climbing wall Wednesday at Stadium Field as part of the local National Guard "Push the Limit" program.
Murray Mace, head coach of Parkersburg High's freshman football team, said the event gave the students a chance to work together for the first time.
"We have kids coming from Jackson and Edison and Vandy" middle schools, he said. "This is the first time they are getting to be together as a team. Now they are working together as Big Reds."
The program also gave them a taste of hard work in a different format.
"Anytime you can mix it up, it makes it fun for them," Mace said. "It was a challenge. This is something they will remember."

um curleys wife...what do you think?
If Slim comes up I'm f**cked
I hope Curleys wife, what do you write about for Slim?!
I've been told Curley's Wife because there isn't much the could ask in the context part about Slim, is there?
My teacher said it's gonna be Slim or George because Slim HAS come up however not for a LONG time and George is actually quite hard so he told me to revise until i can't stop saying the word George
(Original post by lil-mazie)
My teacher said it's gonna be Slim or George because Slim HAS come up however not for a LONG time and George is actually quite hard so he told me to revise until i can't stop saying the word George
Hoping curleys wife. Before we left I wrote a practice essay on her :P
I really hope its curly's wife. she stands for the way women where objectified during the great depression and frequently uses "i'm looking for curly" as an excuse to talk to the other men of the ranch and gain some freedom, showing how oppressed she is by curly. anyone agree with this? i am skitzing it for my literature exam!
what planning frame are you all using for part B? Because i don't understand where to add form into the context
what is the usual format of the exam? like 15 marks on an extract and 15 marks for the rest of the book? this wasn't really explained to me :s
(Original post by No brainer1)
hey what did you get for your practice paper? if so could you upload it tah
My teacher said crooks or curly's wife or really unlikely candy but candy came up last year however the a level aqa used the same character this year and last year ... Hopefully curlys wife though
hopefully George, or prejudice on crooks and curleys wife would be cool. Either way if i fail this exam its worth around 50%? so il fail the whole thing haha FML
Everyones hoping for Curleys wife, here are some last minute pointers!!
Curley's wife is the only main female character and she does not have a name, showing the derogatory nature in which men viewed women at that time.
She is only presented as a possession belonging to her husband, Curley's trophy wife. Women are a temptation to men.
Lennie and George's dream does not include women.
The first reference to Curley's wife is when Candy describes her to George as a "tart," suggesting she is provocative.
The "red fingernails… rouged lips… red mules… red feathers" that she is wearing could also symbolise danger.
Steinbeck, reinforces the vulnerable view of Curley's wife when she "hurried away" seconds after hearing about Curley's whereabouts.
She interrupts Lennie's, Crook's and Candy's daydreaming, she destroys dreams.
She is mean and says how the other men "left all the weak ones here."
Curley's wife created an uncomfortable atmosphere at the end of the scene when the horses "snorted" and the "halter chains rattled."
Curley's wife then talks to Lennie.
The way that Curley's wife insists on Lennie talking to her shows her desperation.
Curley's wife knows that Lennie isn't listening to her as she confides in him making it more tragic.
Lennie moves "cautiously close to her." And ends up killing her
We feel sorry for her as she dies.
The redness now symbolises beauty, not danger
The moment of peace after her death shows that she has broken free of the cycle.
Good Luck guys
isnt there a chance slim could come up ??

Why Be a Part of Your Local Co-op?
There are many reasons to support a co-op like Mariposa:
- You support the local economy: Co-ops are owned by their members, meaning that the money the co-op earns stays local, instead of benefiting a multinational corporation. For 60 years, businesses have fled the inner cities – now is our chance to help rebuild a neighborhood economy!
- Co-ops build community: Co-op members are more than just owners – they are active participants in the management and governance of the organization. Through ongoing personal interactions, cooperators come to know and trust one another. And co-ops partner with other community based organizations, such as urban farms, local businesses and education programs.
- Co-ops give back: Co-ops are not islands; they are required to build partnerships that strengthen other like-minded organizations. At Mariposa, we are allies with the Mill Creek Farm and the West Philadelphia Tool Library, using the power of our member labor to make West Philadelphia a better place.
- Democratic member control: Democracy is not just something that happens once a year on Election Day! A robust democracy is based on the ongoing participation and deliberation of people in their families, their workplaces, and their communities. A co-op is built around democratic processes, giving us the skills and the sense of what it means to make decisions we can all stand behind.
- Know more about your food: Co-ops pioneered the use of nutritional labeling, bulk purchasing, and unit pricing. These tools create informed consumers. And co-ops are deliberate about where the food comes from, so you know that your food is coming from safe and sustainable sources. Ask at the co-op—people will be happy to tell you about the food's producers and how it got onto the store's shelves.
- Show your love for the environment: Mariposa is a store that buys local, sells in bulk to reduce packaging, recycles and composts. Most of our members walk or bike to the store. We bring our own bags. Through conservation and efficiency, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact as we nourish our bodies and souls.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Studies Point to Reasons for Mammograms in 40s
Family History or Dense Breast Tissue Doubles Risk continued...
Out of 13 distinct risk factors identified through the studies and registries, only two fully doubled a woman's risk for breast cancer in her 40s.
"To have a twofold increase in risk, you need to have a first-degree relative -- a mother, daughter, or sister -- with breast cancer. Or you need to have extremely dense breasts. There aren't that many women who have either of those conditions," Mandelblatt says.
For women with more than one first-degree relative with breast cancer, the risks were even higher -- four to 12 times greater than average.
If a first-degree relative was diagnosed before age 40, a woman's risk of breast cancer was three times higher than average.
The issue of breast density is a complicated one, researchers admit, because density can only be determined by first getting a mammogram.
Experts don't recommend that women get a baseline mammogram to discover breast density.
"Mammography density is sort of a newer area," says researcher Heidi D. Nelson, MD, MPH, an investigator at the Oregon Evidence-based Practice Center and the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.
"Radiologists aren't in good agreement about how to read breast density, and we're not sure how to drive that car, yet, really," Nelson says. "So it would be good to maybe wait for more research about exactly how to make decisions with that information."
But Nelson says the study should also comfort women who worry that things like physical inactivity and body weight might put them at increased risk for breast cancer. The study found those had relatively little influence on a person's risk. Other factors that didn't appear to raise risk substantially included race, smoking, and alcohol use.
"What's really reassuring is that there are a lot of risk factors that really don't have a huge increase in risk attached to them," says Nelson.
Understanding Personal Risk
Researchers were also careful to stress that the pair of studies was meant for policy makers, not for individual women to use to try to discern their own risk.

#AztecWBB Travels to Air Force Saturday
Feb. 14, 2014
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State women's basketball team looks to put the brakes on a two-game losing skid Saturday when it travels to the Front Range of the Rockies to battle Air Force at Clune Arena. Opening tip is set for 1 p.m. MT (Noon PT), and a live video stream via the Mountain West Network will be available on www.goaztecs.com.
The Last Meeting
January 11, 2014
Viejas Arena
The Aztecs (8-13, 5-6 MW) put together a valiant comeback effort in their last outing on Wednesday at home against Wyoming, but still found themselves on the wrong side of a 69-60 score. SDSU sliced a 20-point deficit down to five with under two minutes remaining, but could pull no closer. Meanwhile, the Falcons (1-21, 0-12 MW) dropped an 84-71 decision to San Jose State at home.
Despite posting their second-lowest turnover total of the year (9) against the Cowgirls, the Aztecs lost for the first time this season after committing fewer miscues than the opposition.
Individually, SDSU was led by senior Cierra Warren, who tossed in 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting, while fellow classmate Danesha Long and junior Khristina Hunter finished with 10 points each. Freshmen Chloe Johnson and Alyssa Lawrence also logged valuable minutes, combining for 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Warren tops the MW in overall field-goal percentage (.557) and ranks fifth in scoring (14.6 ppg) and ninth in both rebounds (6.4/gm) and blocked shots (1.0/gm). The Aztec center owns the top single-game performance in the league this season with 14 FGs at Sacramento State and has eclipsed the 20 point-barrier on six occasions.
In addition, Hunter finds herself among the league leaders, occupying the eighth spot in field-goal percentage (.471).
As a team, SDSU tops the MW in both rebounding margin (+5.4) and rebounding defense (34.2/gm).
Elsewhere, the Aztecs are third in the league for all games with a .421 field-goal percentage and rank sixth in scoring defense (69.7 ppg), field-goal percentage defense (.413), blocked shots (2.9/gm) and steals (7.8/gm).
SDSU holds a 28-6 lead in the all-time series, including a 12-4 mark at the Academy. The Aztecs have won seven straight against Air Force and 14 of their last 16, including a 72-39 triumph at Viejas Arena on Jan. 11. The Falcons last defeated San Diego State on Jan. 19, 2011, when they posted a narrow 61-58 victory at Clune Arena.
After closing the month of January with a 4-1 stretch, the Aztecs have hit a snag as the calendar turned to February, dropping three of four to slip to seventh place in the conference race with a 5-6 record. SDSU has been outscored during that span by an average margin of 16 points (78.2-62.0) and has allowed opponents to shoot 44 percent (51-116) from three-point range.

Jay Leno books Sen. Ted Cruz for Nov. 8
update: Leno's other guest that night will be actress Mariska Hargitay, who stars as a sex crimes detective on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She joined Vice President Joe Biden in Austin on Wednesday for his visit to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz, already fodder for late night comics, will make his first in-person appearance on late night television. NBC just announced that the Texas freshman will appear Friday, Nov. 8, on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
He'll discuss the recent government shut-down, the debt ceiling, gridlock in Washington and the current state of the Republican Party, according to NBC.
Just a wild guess: "Green Eggs & Ham" will also be mentioned.
Saturday Night Live lampooned Cruz recently. On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart has put a focus on the Texan several times, including here (after the 21-hour Senate talkathon) and here (when Stewart calls the Canadian-born senator a "dirty syrup guzzler") and here (when Stewart, interviewing former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz's predecessor in the Senate, likens him to Superman nemesis Lex Luthor.)

What does remembering ourselves mean? It essentially means coming back to life-- re-membering.
Gerald Epstein

There is a space between self and other where the boundaries melt. Where being myself means being attuned to others. Where being in sync with those around me means finding my self of worth.

Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own.
Bruce Lee
So much of the stress you hold and the ways you keep yourself stuck have to do with how far you've traveled from your original self. You can release that tension by identifying who's actually there under all those layers and why that pure essence is really perfect as it is. And when you let go of that stress... when you can stop blaming yourself for being who you are, it frees up an enormous amount of energy to move forward in life.

Everything has its own place and function. That applies to people, although many don't seem to realize it, stuck as they are in the wrong job, the wrong marriage, or the wrong house. When you know and respect your Inner Nature, you know where you belong. You also know where you don't belong.

Have you ever take time to ponder about death?
Today, there are a few questions that pop into my head when I read of this quote:
"When we die we become 'stories' in the minds of other people."
It just so happen that when I attended the "Fong Family Gathering" (my maternal grandmother's surname is Fong), my granduncle was talking about some of his stories....and I realized that it probably mean a great deal for him as he shared parts and parcels of his stories with us.
I think that as life approached its' finishing line, we tend to look back and see what we have achieved and how the stories had unfold for many of us...and the reason is simply because we want to know the kind of "stories" that will play out in the minds of others around us when our chapter ended.
"When we die, we become "stories" in the minds of other people"
What kind of stories you want to leave behind?
Who do you want to remember your stories?
Is there anyway that you could improve how the story will continue to unfold today?
As I reflect on these questions, I realize how our life journey could easily be shaped, changed and transformed...all of those are due to the decisions and choices we made....
Even as I blog this post, I continue to ask myself the choices and paths that I made, and whether if it is worth it...
"Life is not difficult...it is a choice...but our every decisions are without U-Turn"

We can't change every decision we've made but we can amend them with the choices we have now. Hence, we need His guide to help us make the better choice. I believe that there's no absolute right or wrong choice. So sometimes we'll just have to balance up between what our head thinks and heart feels to make the utmost of the situation we are in.ReplyDelete
It's good to think and plan. But in everything we do, surrender it to Him.Other than that..#YOLO! Be happy and live life to the fullest ;)

Belding's Textbook of Parasitology has long been noted as a classic among workers in this field. The third edition of this text follows essentially the same format as that of the second. The recent advances in parasitology since the last publication are included and the updating of the text is apparent throughout the various chapters. The use of tables, graphic representations, and keys to facilitate study, so prevalent in the former edition, is continued and improved upon in some sections. Deletions of some are wisely made. The new illustrations of the leishmanian and malarial parasites improve the presentation of these diseases. Credit for the chapters on diagnosis and diagnostic methods is given to Dr. Alice T. Marston, while Dr. Matthew A. Derow wrote the chapters on the treatment of parasitic diseases. Both sections represent extensive revision of old material and the presentation of new data.

We're still picking up the pieces in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, but compared to the rest of New Jersey the Philadelphia area came through with minimal damage. The carnage in New York , and the northern and central parts of New Jersey is just unimaginable. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those that have lost so much because of this devastating storm.
But when tragedy strikes, we do what we do best. We come together as a community, becoming the people we wish we were all year long. We are at our best when life is at it's worse. Some may say that's a sad commentary on the state of the human race, but I think its what defines the us. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
When life gets becomes overwhelming, I take solace in my kitchen, finding my balance. And when I really need to cheer myself up, I bake. There's just something so therapeutic about sugar and butter.
I had seen a pie on the cover of Palate magazine, and it was gorgeous. It was a combination of cranberries and blueberries and the article referred to it as an Amethyst Pie, because of the amazing color of the filling. I tried to recreate that pie, and even though I wasn't too sure about the accuracy of the recipe, I followed it exactly. I have to tell you it was a complete failure…..sigh The worst part is as I was making it, I knew it wasn't going to work, but hoping it would. Unfortunately there was nothing to save from that failure, but it had possibilities!
When I buy cream cheese I buy in bulk and after my pumpkin cheesecake, I still had quite a bit of cream cheese left and thought a cheesecake tort with that Amethyst topping would be a thing of beauty. I thought I would go with a traditional graham cracker crust for this torte, but thought a chocolate crust would be a great contrast not only in colors but in flavors as well.
It tasted as good as it looked! The creamy cheesecake against a not too sweet chocolate crust and that delicious combination of berries cooked down to that amazing color…..sigh It was a beautiful thing!
- 1½ packages chocolate graham crackers
- 4 oz butter (120 g)
- 3 8-ounce (227 g each pack) packs cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup ( 200 g) sugar
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
- 3 large eggs
- 8 oz (200 g) frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
- 6 oz ( 160 g) fresh or frozen cranberries (do not thaw; about 1½ cups)
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 3 tbsp (45 g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp.(15 g) fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp.(2.5 g) finely grated lemon peel
- place chocolate graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and process into a fine meal. Place in a mixing bowl
- Add melted butter and mix together to make the crust
- Press mixture onto bottom and up the side of the deep tart pan or springform pan
- Bake in 350 degree (177 C) oven for about 15 minutes, until firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- In your stand mixer add cream cheese and beat just until smooth
- Slowly add in the sugar, scrape down the sides of bowl
- Add in flour, salt, eggs, and vanilla mix for 2 -3 minutes until well blended and smooth.
- Pour cheesecake mixture into prepared crust and place in 350 degree (177 C) preheated oven for one hour.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on wire rack
- Place in refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is better)
- Combine all ingredients in large saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and begins to boil (this will take 10 -12 minutes) make sure to keep stirring the mixture
- Continue cooking until mixture begins to boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer berry mixture to glass or ceramic dish; cool completely (mixture will thicken)
- After mixture has cooled completely,spread evenly over the top of the cheesecake, leaving about ½ inch of the cheesecake showing.
It really was a delicious combination of berries and I may try to make that pie again, but this time I'll develop my own recipe, hopefully one that works! With Thanksgiving coming it would be the perfect addition to my holiday table, and I'll make sure to let you know how it turns out!
What are you serving this year?

MUMBAI: VSNL has received about 190 applications for its voluntary retirement scheme (VRS). The 'early bird' scheme, which offers more generous incentives, is valid till the month-end. The VRS scheme ends on July 14.
The response is much better than an earlier VRS floated before the disinvestment when little over 100 applications were received. As an incentive, the early bird scheme offers roughly one month's extra pay, over and above the sum that an employee is eligible for.

I have been wanting to build something in Nocturnus for a while, so the recent story gave a great opertunity to do so. This is another moc based on a piece of Warhammer art, I found it the same time as I found my previous build's concept art. I had planned to actually build this first, but went with the other building as I was short on dark turquoise. However, It was the turquoise color that really attracted me to this build, I love the color and felt it was a nice change from the standard browns, blacks and reds most use for roof work.
An enjoyable build, and one that has really sent me into wanting to build some mocs with a dark/twisted/gothic/dracula type feel, although I am working on a Sleep Hollow moc.
This moc features in the Prelude story to the upcomming challenge 3, which can be found in this thread: Prelude

Just fantastic. This is the sort of build that I show to my friends and say, SEE, this is why I love Lego - look what you can do!

I have to say I love the ilusion of curves used on the upper windows, great perspective trick.
The chimney is cool too, I would like to see some smoke to add realism.
The roof color is odd for Nocturnus yet I enjoy how it enhances the whole building.
The part of the sewer is very clever and the detail of the skelleton on cage adds to the creepy atmosphere.
Great job my Lord.
Posted 26 February 2012 - 08:04 PM
I am trying to figure out how you did the white walls? such a effect use of tiles especially with the brown.
As kabel said, you seem to always be a step ahead of us. I always look forward to your builds because they are soo nice to look at but also they are a wonderful class of what you can do with lego.

It´s great to see that such an advanced buider like you DC keep improving your builds and techniques!
One question though, when reading through all the comments that you recieve for your mocs there is not that many that gives you tips or critique. How do you improve your building when all you hear is praise? Don´t get me wrong I love your builds and you deserve all the praise!!

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="251"] USO Camp Casey Programs Coordinator Sophia Lim, right, stands with some volunteers carrying a load of stockings for troops in South Korea as part of USO Korea's Operation Christmas Cheer Program. USO photo[/caption]
USO Korea brightened the days of more than 6,000 soldiers stationed across the Korean peninsula this month with stockings full of goodies donated by Operation Give. As part of USO Korea's Operation Christmas Cheer program, soldiers from the northern Camp Stanley to the southern Camp Henry and everywhere in between received a friendly knock on their door from a USO volunteer bearing a special surprise: a stocking overflowing with books, playing cards, calendars, personal hygiene items and snacks.
"I knocked on so many doors to give gifts my knuckles are bleeding," one soldier-volunteer joked after the event, which went from Dec. 18 to Dec. 25.
The efforts of the volunteers who stuffed stockings in the U.S. and the 90-plus volunteers who distributed those stockings in South Korea were clearly appreciated. The USO received positive praise from key base personnel and soldiers in all four USO Korea service areas. But the shocked grins and heartfelt thanks from service members across Korea were the best rewards.
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="134"] Two soldiers show off their new stockings — saxophones not included — delivered by USO Korea volunteers. Stocking supplies were donated by Operation Give. USO photo[/caption]
One soldier was so grateful that he took the time to email the young stocking stuffer back in the U.S., whose email address was included in the stocking.
"The USO just came by our barracks roughly 30 minutes ago and gave myself and many other soldiers in our barracks a beautiful Christmas stocking with all kinds of goodies," the soldier wrote. "I wanted to say thank you … [T]hank you for making my lonely holidays better. This will be the [sixth] Christmas I spent away from my family, so the more times I spend away from my family the harder it gets to feel the "Holiday" cheer. [B]ut young American's like yourself and the incredible USO [v]olunteers (on the "CC") make me feel much better. … Thank you again for the outstanding gesture and the great feeling of warmth from across the waters."
As evidenced by this email – and thanks to the hard work of all of the USO volunteers in Korea and the U.S. – USO Korea can declare this mission accomplished. Thanks again to Operation Give for their support of the troops, and happy holidays.

News 12 @ 11 Sunday Dec 23
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Neil Rackers gained a measure of redemption
and sent the Atlanta Falcons to another loss in their demoralizing
Rackers kicked a 29-yard field goal to force overtime, then
booted one from 31 yards on the first possession of the extra
session to give the relieved Arizona Cardinals a 30-to-27 victory
Rackers celebrated by sliding on his knees across the grass.
He had missed what would have been a game-winning 32-yarder
against San Francisco earlier this season.
The Falcons (3-12), who had rallied from a 10-point
fourth-quarter deficit to take the lead, lost their sixth in a row
in a season that has included the loss of star quarterback Michael
Vick in a dogfighting scandal and the abrupt departure of coach
Bobby Petrino.
Kurt Warner completed 36 of 53 passes for 361 yards and three
touchdowns, two to Anquan Boldin, who caught 13 for 162 yards.
Boldin became the fastest to reach 400 career catches in NFL
Chris Redman, starting for the third straight week, engineered
Atlanta's comeback, going 28-for-42 for a career-high 315 yards and
two scores with one extremely costly interception.

Women's Golf Set for SDSU Farms Invitational
March 23, 2014
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State women's golf team returns to the course next week when it plays host to the second annual SDSU Farms Invitational, March 24-26, at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. The three-day 54-hole tournament gets underway Monday with tee times on holes 1 and 10, beginning at 8 a.m. PT on the par-72, 6,237-yard course layout.
In addition to the No. 45 Aztecs, the elite lineup features nine squads ranked in the Golfstat top 50, including No. 1 Southern California, No. 2 UCLA, No. 6 Arizona State, No. 13 Stanford, No. 14 Oklahoma State, No. 21 Oregon, No. 26 Miami, No. 36 California and No. 50 UNLV, while Cal State Fullerton, Idaho, New Mexico, Portland State, UC Irvine and Xavier round out the field.
SDSU will be paired with USC and UCLA for the first round Monday at 8 a.m. PT on hole 1, and a link to live results will be available courtesy of BirdieFire on www.goaztecs.com.
Third-year head coach Leslie Spalding will play seven golfers at this week's event, with sophomore Emma Henrikson (Malmö, Sweden), freshman Sirene Blair (South Jordan, Utah), junior Paige Spiranac (Scottsdale, Ariz.), freshman Maria Fernanda Villegas (Ensenada, Mexico) and junior Kristina Lynn (Carlsbad, Calif.) comprising the slots on the Aztecs' starting ladder. In addition, senior Maureen Dunnagan (Lexington, S.C.) and junior Amy Alston (Mission Viejo, Calif.) are scheduled to compete as individuals in the 93-player field.
Blair, who owns a team-best 73.44 stroke average through 16 rounds this season, enters the tournament with a No. 51 individual ranking by Golfstat, while Henrikson (74.06) finds herself among the top 100 this week, landing in the 90th position.
USC captured the inaugural SDSU Farms Invitational championship in 2013, winning handily 21 strokes over runner-up Arizona with a combined 11-over 875, while the Women of Troy's Sophia Popov returns to defend her individual title after posting a 1-over 217 a year ago.
This season's SDSU Farms Invitational will also feature a guest speaking appearance by LPGA golfer Amy Alcott. Alcott has won 33 tournaments in her storied career, including five majors, and is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Following the Farms Invite, the Aztecs will close out their regular-season slate when they compete in the Silverado Showdown, April 14-15, in Napa, Calif.

'… the voice that within dirt / took root became the many-tendriled sound' is the Roethke-like 'germinal' pulse that characterizes Geri Doran's distinctive second collection, Sanderlings. The marriage of this elemental voice with an elegant formal intelligence and a quiet, insistent, and probing imagination makes these poems truly remarkable additions to contemporary American poetry.—Michael Collier
What I love about Sanderlings, besides the ripening imagery, is the variety of expression. The poems don't fix on a single way to regard our sense of living. There's a powerful willingness to look into the natural diversity of thought and feeling, and Geri Doran's language is willowy and very fine.—Carol Frost
The music in her lines is tight as a stone wall with nothing but gravity for mortar—'The hackberry blackens in the March wind. / The bur oak in the backyard waits'—and accretes so that even moments of relative calm feel ardent and poised at the edge of 'sweet bewilderment.' 'Easy, now. Rains are falling,' Doran writes, and one feels the fullness of her poems' onrushing images heart-breakingly restrained in the pause.—Zach Savich, Kenyon Review Online
Geri Doran's second collection employs lyrical music in free verse filled with sound, as the inquisitive poet examines her world. The collection opens with the ocean, crafting images of sanderlings, a species of sandpiper, "chased up the beach by the waves / then skittering right back down into the wet." Musical terminol- ogy reinforces these poems, such as in "The Dark Octaves," in which "Germinal, the voice that within dirt / took root became the many-tendriled sound." While joy remains in uplifting language, the shadow of American imperialism surfaces. In "The Snowlit Sky," through a "black entanglement of the winter trees," there are "fiefdoms bent / on redemption but first and more cloyingly / on praise." The speaker makes the poignant observation that we continue on, "lost to our geog- raphy, to reason, picking our way, / like a mad vainglorious king, and slipping wildly." Doran dwells on Iraq "In the Valley of Its Saying," claiming that "War and death have taken the mouth for their own. / For there the beat of the heart cracks quietly now, a rasp // like the cockroach's shell under boots." She also re- flects on the lost city Atlantis in "Aubade," theorizing that "mourning not for the thing, or the lack — / mourning the distance we must travel to get it." Doran's exploration of what remains lost frames the collection's startling imagery depict- ing the world and its inhabitants.—Alyse Bensel, The Los Angeles Review
For a book titled Sanderlings, few birds flutter through Geri Doran's second collection of poems. More centrally, this book is focused on scavenging, as those small wading birds are wont to do, and Doran's interest in stringing fragment-like sections together, shrapnel from a larger idea, places the reader in that role of scavenger. These poems are far from being "easy" or "accessible," as Doran asks her readers to meet her halfway and work through these poems piecemeal. And if one is willing to put in the effort, these poems—with their restraint and subtle grace—can mesmerize.—Jacques J. Rancourt, Devil's Lake

Our haunt is in an old movie theater with a balcony. The main haunt in on the lower level (seats removed), but we have a few things going on in the balcony. For ambience, we are looking for some really bloody, creepy looping videos to be showing on the huge screen. I know Haunted Props has one, but I didn't find it scary enough. Anyone have any suggestions?
