As a coach, online marketing is a necessary part of your business. Without it, you risk running out of clients and will lack the ability to grow your business. Unfortunately, many service providers are so busy providing their services that they overlook this crucial step.
While it's understandable that it's difficult to put the time in to market your business when you're already so busy, it's important to keep in mind that it's that marketing that will help you stay in business.
Here are a few tips to help you easily and effectively market your skills online:
Join a related forum or discussion board
If you offer a service of use to online business professionals, a good first step is to join a marketing discussion forum. You can start slowly and make contributions to the group where you feel appropriate. This will help you get your name out there so more people can learn more about your services.
Joining a marketing forum as an online service provider puts your business directly in front of many potential customers. Always remember to follow the forum guidelines and basic rules of etiquette when joining any discussion. First impressions do count, so keep in mind that while on the forum you are always representing your business ñ make it work for you.
Join a networking group
Networking with others in your field is important. Not only does it allow you the opportunity to bounce ideas back and forth between people in your industry, but it can also be a great source of friendship and support.
Networking groups also help you in other ways. If a fellow coach / solopreneur is too busy to take on extra work, she or he may pass the referral on to you. Likewise, you may be able to return the favor in the future. A good networking group is a fantastic way to get support, advice and even more business.
Become an expert
People trust and like experts. And as a coach you can become the "go to" expert in your industry. An easy way to do this is to write related articles for business owners to read. List them on your website and also submit them to the article directories online.
You can create an educational area on your website like a blog. This area can provide tips and articles related to your services. By conducting yourself as an expert in your industry, you let others know that you are knowledgeable in your field. If a potential client then visits your website and reads through your content, they are more likely to contact you for support.
Marketing your skills online is important. It is potentially the lifeblood of your business. And although your schedule may be busy, try to pencil in a little time each day for this important task. This simple step can make all the difference to the success of your business.]]>
As a website owner, your goal is to have a steady stream of targeted traffic flowing into your site. Here are three effective and proven ways to drive traffic to your site.
Blogs are a great way to add traffic to your site.
You can add a feed burner to your blog which will enable your readers to stay up to date with new posts that you add. The posts can be delivered right to their email or homepage. As you add posts to your blog, point out new articles and other content that you have recently added to your site. The more you talk about your site, the more interest you will generate.
If you choose, you can add a blog roll to your blog that lists other blogs your readers might find interesting. If you add a link of someone else's blog to your site, ask them to add a reciprocal link to your blog. Remember to focus on your target market and what they would find interesting. If your site's focus is on making homemade organic baby food, trading links with a blog that is focused on bulldogs won't add targeted traffic to your site. However, trading links with blogs devoted to organic food will have a better chance at increasing your traffic.
You can also increase the amount of traffic that comes to your site with article marketing.
It may sound complicated, but it is quite easy. You simply write articles and distribute them to article reprint directories. There are many directories out there, and you will want to distribute them to as many directories as possible. This can be done manually, or you can invest in software that can do this for you. Another option is to hire a virtual assistant to submit them for you.
By adding these articles to reprint directories, you are giving permission for other people to publish these articles on their sties for free. When other website owners publish the articles you have written, they will include a "bio box" at the end of the article. You choose what the bio box says and can include links to your site. The articles can be any length you choose and can be on any topic. If you don't like writing, you can hire a ghostwriter to write the articles for you.
Having a newsletter is another great way to drive traffic to your site.
Include a link to your opt-in page everywhere; the pages on your website, the signature line in the forums you belong to, the signature line in your email, and don't forget to add the link to your blog. The more people that see your opt-in page, the more subscribers you will get. By sending your newsletter to your mailing list on a regular basis, you will stay in your readers' minds. Include excerpts from new articles and other information that you have recently added and to your web pages, including links that point to the full text on your site.]]>
Do you enjoy digging online, or off, to find useful bits of information? Do you enjoy pulling together information as if they're the pieces of a puzzle? If you're skilled at research you can make money with your skills. Here are a few ideas and tips to help you get started.
There are many different avenues you can take as an online researcher. You can provide:
Ebook/Information product research
Keyword research
Marketing research
Genealogy research
Business research
Target market/consumer research
That's just the beginning of what you can offer online. They key is to start with what you know. What type of research are you interested in or skilled at? Then, explore demand and potential competition. If you're just looking to make extra money on the side you don't need to worry about competition too much.
The First Step
The first step to making money with your research skills is to formulate a business plan. Begin with a definition of the services you will provide. Create a description of your customers. For example, you might offer keyword research for people who want to start a small online business. Your audience might be all aspiring entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs who are young or interested in a specific industry like health and wellness.
You'll then want to explore how you're going to market your services. If you're offering an online service then you'll probably want a website, webpage, or a blog. This is a wonderful way to promote your services. You can also use word of mouth, social networking, content marketing and advertising depending on your goals and needs.
The Next Step
Once you have a business plan, it's time to take action. Begin creating your website, pricing your services and spreading the word about your services. Create policies and procedures so your customers know what to expect. This will also help you provide a consistent experience with every customer.
The Benefits of Online Services
There are numerous benefits to offering your research services online. For example, it's easy to communicate with clients from all around the world. Email makes it quick and easy. You can also use web forms to give your clients a quick and easy way to get a hold of you. Online services also give you the means to receive payments instantly. There are online payment services like PayPal that are easy and inexpensive to use. Once you're ready to begin offering your services you can begin marketing and looking for clients.]]>
Outsourcing some of your business tasks to a virtual assistant is one of the best things you can do for your business. You will be able to focus on the tasks that require your specific attention; the administrative tasks will still be getting done, you will find you are less-stressed, and will have more free time to enjoy with your family. If you are apprehensive about handing over a portion of your business to a stranger, the following are some tips on how to work effectively with a VA.
When you start looking for someone to work with, ask your other business friends for recommendations. Ask for the names of people that they have personally worked with in the past; if they haven't used the type of virtual assistant you are looking for, they may know of someone who has.
When you interview a VA, ask them for references of people they have worked with previously. Always check these referrals. Ask questions such as how they liked the VA's work, if the work was finished on time, and if they would partner with them again.
You should also ask to see some samples of past work. Do they have a style that is similar to the style you are looking for? Does the work look polished and professional?
Since you will be working together a lot, make sure that your personality meshes with your new virtual assistant. How do you like to communicate? If you like to talk via telephone and your contractor prefers email, this could pose a problem.
Find out how the virtual assistant wants to be paid before you parter with them. They may accept full payment after the work is completed, or they may ask to be paid half of the payment before they start. Many VAs will accept PayPal, but, again, make sure you both understand how the payment process will work before you commit to a project.
In addition to the payment process, you will want to make sure you both understand how the virtual assistant will keep track of time and how you will be notified of their progress. You can use an online task assistant that you can both access. You can put up information such as due dates, notes about the project, etc and the VA can give feedback on the processes.
If you are worried about the virtual assistant having access to sensitive information and your intellectual property, have them sign a non-disclosure agreement. Most VAs have these built directly into their contracts.
Once you find a virtual assistant that you enjoy working with, consider putting them on retainer. This is a win-win. You get first priority and a discount and your VA gets to be involved intricately in your business.]]>
When the iPad was first released, netbook makers such as HP and Dell held their breath; would the iPad signal the beginning of the end for the netbook market? While they've definitely taken a hit, don't expect to see the complete extinction of netbooks quite yet. These sub-notebook computers are inexpensive and small and have found a market; but can they compete with the iPad? Here's how things stack up:
The entry-level iPad starts at $499, for wi-fi only with 16 GB of storage, and goes up to $829 for a 64 GB 3G version. Netbooks are significantly less expensive, starting at just a few hundred dollars for 150 GB of hard drive space.
The average netbook weighs about 2.5 to 3 pounds, while the iPad tips the scales at a whopping (ha ha) 1.5 pounds. It might not sound like much, but if you're a woman who wants to carry her mobile computing equipment with her, it makes a big difference when it's hanging from your shoulder.
The challenge a colleague experiences with her HP Mini is processing speed; it can be extremely slow. However after test driving an iPad, she finds it to be lightning-quick.
The netbook can be limited to what software comes pre-installed, or that you purchase separately. And the iPad… well, you've heard the saying; "There's an app for that!" With most apps costing under $5, you can do pretty much whatever you want, from fashion design to rocket design, with your iPad, on the cheap.
Cool Factor
Whether you purchase an iPad or a netbook may come down to the simple question of how cool you want to feel. Younger people, particularly kids, immediately see the possibilities of the iPad and know intuitively how to interact with it. Older folks have a bit harder time learning the ropes; they may prefer the tried-and-true mouse/trackpad/keyboard interface of the netbook, to the all-in-one aspect of the iPad.
But let's face it; at price points pretty low and getting lower, you may just want to have one of each. Take some time and see which you use more, and then sell the other one on eBay – or give it to your children.]]>

Burberry uses Instagram to post pictures of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, one of the faces of the brand.
Facebook and Twitter aren't old news — yet — but fashion's big guns have mastered those social media channels. So, where's the industry to turn next? If the industry's successful embrace of Tumblr proves anything, it's that the public appetite for branded social media is still growing. Thus, the savviest fashion houses have expanded to several other sites in order to access fans — and we expect those platforms are poised to take off in 2012:
- Pinterest: The social, virtual pin board tool has already found devotees in companies like Nordstrom and fashion mavens like Nina Garcia. The heritage line from Land's End, Canvas, believes it's the social media platform to watch this year. And frankly, we believe that too.
- Instagram: The mobile app for photo sharing accomplishes the same social, visual goals as Tumblr, but in a prettier, scaled-down way. Fashionably Marketing noted that myriad labels are already quietly using the platform as yet another channel of self-expression. Like Facebook and Twitter, we believe Instagram's appeal lies in its dual utility for both individuals and brands.
A view of Christian Louboutin's designer profile on Lyst.
- Lyst: This web start-up allows labels, designers, and stylists to create profiles and running lists of product updates, sales, and news. Users can shop the image-heavy lists, learn more about brands, or follow other site members for further fashion inspiration. At 5259 followers, Christian Louboutin is currently the leading designer with a Lyst profile, but Alexander McQueen and Gucci are right behind him. How long until the rest of the fashion world follows?
- Svpply: Like Lyst, Svpply offers its members picture-filled brand profiles with constantly updated product; unlike Lyst, those pages are driven by the site's users rather than by the labels themselves. Svpply gets the designers involved by encouraging them to add a sharing tool (similar to a Facebook or Twitter icon) to their online retail pages; that makes it easy for shoppers to import the items to their Svpply profiles.
How do you feel about fashion's social branching out? Would you follow your favorite brands on Instagram as well as Twitter and Facebook, or turn to Lyst? Are these channels a good way to learn more, or is it an overwhelming amount of information?

How To Analyze Skin Types
January 31, 2011 by Lydia Sarfati
Filed under How-To, Skin Care Education
As an esthetician, the first step in any professional treatment is analyzing and determining your client's skin type. While there are four basic skin types – dry, oily, sensitive, and combination – most people can have other characteristics different from their skin type. For example, an oily skin client may have surface dehydration. Many people will misdiagnosis dehydration for dry skin and switch to a heavier, creamier moisturizer that is too rich for their skin. Therefore, it is important for skin care professionals to properly analyze the skin to insure proper diagnosis and recommendation.
Dry skin has no oil, no comedones and has a taut, patchy surface. Dry skin requires moisture. Choose a soap-free face wash and a toner that balances the skin and restores the skins natural pH. Dry skin is often red and irritated so ingredients that calm and soothe skin like willowherb are ideal for this skin type. Lastly, a nighttime moisturizer like Repêchage Hydra Dew Nourishing GelCream restores moisture with essential fatty acids from seeds and nuts as well as hyaluronic acid and moisture boosting seaweed. In addition to proper moisturization, a client with dry skin should hydrate from within and drink plenty of water daily.
Oily skin is characterized by shiny, enlarged pores and comedones. This skin type may be prone to pustules and milia and may be prone to acne. It is true that there has been a rise in adult acne in the last few years. This is evident by the number of product launches by manufacturers geared for acne clients. This epidemic of adult acne in women directly corresponds with increased stress and surging hormones. However, oily skin types often suffer from dehydration. It is important to help control oil and minimize shine without stripping the skin of natural oils. A face wash and astringent that refines pores and fights blemish-causing bacteria is essential. A deep pore cleansing mask like Repêchage Hydra Medic Sea Mud Perfecting Mask is recommended 3 times a week. Lastly, an oil-free moisturizer provides hydration without a greasy residue.
Combination skin is characteristic of over seventy percent of the population. Of that 70%, 98.9% suffer from an oily T-zone. An exfoliating scrub like Repêchage Honey and Almond Scrub with oil absorbing oatmeal, humectant honey and almond meal cleanses the skin and eliminates blackheads and oily shine in the T-zone area.
Sensitive Skin is characterized by redness and irritation to environmental aggressors such as sun, smoke and pollution. A gentle cream cleanser, and soothing toner are recommended. Daily sun protection and an anti-oxidant rich mask three-times a week like Repêchage Hydra 4 Mask calms and hydrates skin while reducing skin reactivity.
The Milady esthetics textbook by Dr. Joel Gerson is an excellent source on treating different skin types and conditions. It is available online at milady.com.
I also suggest investing in a Woods Lamp. This instrument is essentially a black light that allows you to visibly see oil, dehydration, hyper pigmentation, black heads, and even sun damage that is invisible to the naked eye. It will help you easily recognize different skin types and help you effectively diagnosis your client.

How and when should I use the steamer with the Repechage facial? Should I use during the cleansing and exfoliation or use while my Client is masking? Also, is the steamer used during the Four-Layer Facial Service? Thank-you.

Please riddle me this. If the post offices are losing $2 million a year, why is it that mail from Lewistown has to go to Harrisburg and back to Lewistown again? Riddle me this.
Funny how when you check the facts and speak with source representatives, you would be reminded that indeed the public is and has always been more than welcome to use the walking path at Philips. They simply request that the property be respected in the manner it is intended.
Mr. President, when, oh, when are you going to be man enough to take responsibility for your failures? Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS targeting, NSA snooping and Obamacare were all under your watch. You are neither a gentleman or a scholar. You are a community organizer who wouldn't know how to organize a food drive if given the chance.
Mifflin County School District is a joke with these school schedules.
Isn't it amazing that we are now bombing our own tanks and things that we left there for the Iraqi government who abandoned them when they walked away because they were afraid to fight ISIS? Now we're bombing tanks with millions of dollars and different things we're bombing. I think it's ironic how our president and leaders in Washington work today. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I don't think there's any worse roads or alleys than in the borough of Lewistown. Their alleys are terrible, potholes, and some of their streets are kinda bad, too.
Some of you people are unbelievable morons. The article about the police department budget explained exactly what had taken place and nowhere did it say that the police department was having any financial problems and not staying on budget.

Ed Haynes
Because he spiced this debut album with a tribute to Gorbachev and a protest against industrial pollution, Haynes probably considers himself a liberal political satirist. But let the truth be told: His wit isn't sharp enough for top-notch satire, and his politics sometimes falls not very far to the left of Dan Quayle. Does this make him a failure? No way. Haynes, 23, is extremely interesting because, perhaps without intending it, he represents a large population: the young Bush-era middle class. He speaks for those caught between a vague sense of social responsibility and the desire to evade the world's complex crises.
Backed by a restrained blend of acoustic and electric guitars, Haynes's folk-pop songs cover a broad range of moods from irony to bitterness to complacency. "Holiday Song" is nothing more than an ode to a great Thanksgiving meal, from the marshmallows in the sweet potatoes to the easy chair afterward. In "I Want to Kill Everybody," he describes Washington as a place where "a committee decides which committee decides which committee decides which committee decides." Haynes slips back into an accurate, if not necessarily admirable, middle-class perspective when he hits on other touchy subjects.
In a song about a prostitute and another about a street person, a twinge of compassion is mixed with an undercurrent of revulsion. Even Haynes's tribute to Gorbachev relies on a reactionary stereotype of Soviets as bad guys. "Talking Cat Blues" shows Haynes on more comfortable ground within the realm of family rooms and Kitty Litter; he gives a wry account of cat abuse while making a broader statement about human cruelty. Every now and then, a touch of poetry slips in. The strange California road song "Conveyor Belt" describes a woman who "imagined herself as the only stationary fixture in the world/ And the road and the lights and the towns/ Were all being spun towards her/ And spun away like on a giant conveyor belt." Haynes usually settles for humbler visions, matching melodies to the jokes, hopes and fears of the just-out-of-college crowd. If somebody decides to produce a TV series called twentysomething, he can write the theme song. (Apache)

With a scrunch of her tiny button nose, 2-day-old Mackynzie Renée Duggar opens her pink lips and pulls off a seemingly impossible task: She lets out a shriek that drowns out all 17 of her aunts and uncles (plus Grandma and Grandpa Duggar), who have packed into her parents' Fayetteville, Ark., living room to meet their new niece. "It's hard to get louder than that, honey!" says her beaming mother, Anna. New dad Josh scoops her into the crook of his arm and smiles as she grabs his thumb. "Even when she's awake at 3 a.m.," he says, "it's a blessing."
Even for a family that's accustomed to baby arrivals—after all, they star in the TLC reality show 18 Kids and Counting—the newest Duggar is truly one of a kind. Born Oct. 8, Mackynzie Renée (Mackynzie after Josh's cousin, and Renée is Anna's middle name too) is the first grandchild for Jim Bob, 44, and Michelle, 43, who are themselves expecting a new baby in the spring. (In addition to Josh, 21, their children include twins Jana and John-David, 19; Jill, 18; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 13; Joy-Anna, 11; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 10; Jason, 9; James, 8; Justin, 6; Jackson, 5; Johanna, 4; Jennifer, 2; and Jordyn, 9 months.) "I can't believe I'm old enough to be a grandfather," says Jim Bob, laughing. "All these kids are keeping us young."
And busy. While Mackynzie sleeps and Anna rests, Michelle, Jim Bob and the older kids wash dishes, fold laundry and get lunch prepared, and the younger ones play with toys on the floor. "Until I saw everyone here at once, I hadn't really realized how many aunts and uncles Mackynzie has," says Anna, 21. "There's a huge team of people caring for us."
Yet when Anna went into labor on Oct. 8, that team was MIA, participating in a family church camp in Texas. With their doctor also out of town, the couple opted to labor at home for as long as possible with support of a doula (birthing assistant). When they got word of Anna's labor, Michelle and Jill hopped a plane home, arriving just minutes before Mackynzie was caught by Josh, who helped clamp and cut the cord. "It was," he says, "an incredible moment."
And one that he hopes to relive as often as possible. Following in the footsteps of his parents—"We accept the children we have as blessings from God," says Jim Bob—Josh says he and Anna "will welcome as many children as God will give us." Anna agrees: "I can't wait to see what might happen with the next one!"
But for now, it's all about Mackynzie. After a busy day of meeting all her aunts and uncles, she snuggles up with Anna, snoozing while her youngest uncle, Jackson, quietly looks on. Meanwhile, Anna is brushing up on parenting tips from her seasoned mother-in-law. "She's like a living birth encyclopedia," says Anna. Counters Michelle: "Anna's doing so well. She's a wonderful mother." Josh surveys his new family and nods. "Time is really flying by, and kids grow so quickly," he says. "I want to live in the moment and cherish it. Even it if happens at 3 a.m."

Tom Clancy, the espionage writer whose novels featuring protagonist Jack Ryan made him one of the genre's best-selling authors, has died. He was 66.
Clancy passed away Tuesday night at a hospital in Baltimore, multiple reports confirm.
Clancy, who was born in Baltimore, went on to write a string of best-selling novels, including The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger – all of which were adapted into blockbuster films.
Tom Clancy's publisher confirms to the NYT that he died last night in a hospital in Baltimore.— Julie Bosman (@juliebosman) October 2, 2013
In a vaunted career that spanned almost 30 years, the scribe sold over 50 million books, swiftly earning a reputation as one of the premiere storytellers of military and espionage thrillers.
Clancy began his career as an insurance broker before striking it out as an author in 1984 with his debut novel, The Hunt for Red October.
That book introduced a character who would become a mainstay in Clancy's body of work: Jack Ryan, the fearless CIA operative whose white-knuckle adventures would unfold in subsequent Clancy novels, from The Sum of All Fears to Executive Orders, among others.
The character would eventually be played onscreen by a string of A-list actors who headlined a slew of high-profile movie adaptations, including Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October, Harrison Ford in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, and Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears.
Rest in peace the great writer Tom Clancy. A real gentleman of the old school.— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) October 2, 2013
At the time of Clancy's death, Paramount Pictures was working on a reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise, Jack Ryan: Shadow One, starring Chris Pine and directed by Kenneth Branagh.
Clancy, who was a part-owner of the Baltimore Orioles, founded the video-game company Red Storm Entertainment in 1996. His last novel, Command Authority, is scheduled to be released on Dec. 3.
"He was a thrill to work with," said Ivan Held, the president of Putnam.— Julie Bosman (@juliebosman) October 2, 2013

Peoria Rivermen head coach Jean-Guy Trudel announced Wednesday that rookie left wing Justin Gvora has signed an SPHL contract with the team, while rookie right wing Paul Chiasson has signed a three-game tryout contract.
Gvora, 26, is in his first professional season after spending the last five years at the University of Guelph in Ontario. The 6'2, 190-pound winger made his pro debut with ECHL Elmira on Nov. 27, but was released eight days later.
Prior to turning pro, Gvora notched 87 points (38g, 49a) and 47 penalty minutes over 109 career games at Guelph. The Thunder Bay, Ontario native was also drafted in the ninth round (#166 overall) of the 2003 OHL Entry Draft by the Mississauga IceDogs, where he went on to record a goal and two assists for Mississauga during the 2005-06 season.
Chiasson, 24, enters his first pro season after spending the last four years with current Rivermen defenseman Charlie Carkin at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania. Over 151 collegiate games, the 5'11, 195-pound winger collected 109 points (55g, 54a) and 92 penalty minutes. In 2010-11, Chiasson ranked second on Mercyhurst with 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists) in 37 games. In 2011-12, his 14 goals ranked first. A native of Toronto, Chiasson will likely make his pro debut with Peoria.
The Rivermen begin a three-game series against the Bloomington Thunder this Friday, Dec. 20, with a 7:15 p.m. puck drop at Carver Arena. Peoria will wear custom "Central Illinois STRONG" jerseys to support tornado relief in central Illinois, which will be auctioned off after the game. All proceeds will benefit local charities and their relief efforts. It's also UnityPoint Health-Methodist "Puck Night." The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a limited edition Rivermen puck.
The game can be heard locally on CD Country 107.9 FM or online at www.cd1079.net. Fans can also follow along via the live video and audio stream at www.americaonesports.com.

This is my favorite restaurant in Toronto so far. I've always wanted to find my ultimate chicken and beer place and this is it! Again, this is so conveniently located near my house and it was impossible not to try it because every time I pass by this place, I can smell the chicken wings.
On Tuesdays they have half price wings special so that's the day to visit if you are ever interested. You can choose between 1lb (~7-9 wings) for $10.99 or 2lb for $19.99 from 16 different types of flavors. Flavors vary from the typical honey garlic, bbq, buffalo as well as hot flavors called 'hotter than hell' or 'suicide'. They are all served with French fries and garlic dill sauce.
I ordered 1lb of Caribbean Jerk and 1lb of Hot & Honey as well as Onion rings. The wings were SO GOOD!! It's THE best chicken wings I've ever had. Outside was so crispy with the skin perfectly fried and the meat was super juicy. I preferred Hot&Honey flavor over Caribbean Jerk flavor because the Caribbean Jerk had too much rosemary for my likings. Warning for those who can't eat spicy food, Hot&Honey had 2 chili signs and it was quite spicy for me! And the French fries that came with the chicken wings were super delicious. The fries are quite thick but they make it so crispy and they are served super hot it goes so well with the chicken wings when washed down with icey cold beer.
Onion rings are kind of on the pricey side but they are so worth the price. Their onion rings are so sweet inside and perfectly fried and it's perfect with the ranch sauce that comes with it.
Summary: I would go back here any day! They serve other types of food as well but you find most of the people ordering chicken wings and beer. Best wings ever!!

Sweeping oak branches shaded more than 225 Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra supporters during the recent "An Afternoon Interlude under the Seven Sisters Oak." The elegant soiree was held at the home at Mary Jane and John Becker in Lewisburg in Mandeville.
Three classical musicians situated under one of the 1,500-year-old oak's massive branches set the tone for the perfect spring day as guests dined on Italian fare and sipped wine, as well as on coffee drinks provided by The Scotts' Coffee and Tapas Bar in old Mandeville. Guests also had the chance to bid on themed gift baskets and artwork, and peruse jewelry and homemade jams from Fountainhead Farms.
Money from the second annual fundraiser, organized by the Symphony Volunteers, will go directly to the orchestra's musicians. Last year more than $10,000 was raised during the Spring celebration.
Membership in the Symphony Volunteers is open to the public. For information, visit www.symphonyvolunteers.org, email email@example.com, or call President Nancy Pomiechowski at 504.598.6060.

Pros: Inexpensive, sturdy, easy to attach, birds love it
Cons: none
I have had parakeets for many years and some of them have liked to get in a bird bath and splash around. They have baths that you can put inside the cage or if your bird comes out for a fly around the house that you can set out but the Penn Plax Bird Bath with Universal Hanging Clips is a nice one that can hang outside the cage so you do not have to get your bird out or worry about trying to fit the bath inside his cage.
Description of the Penn Plax Bird Bath with Universal Hanging Clips
This bird bath is perfect for a parakeet sized bird or smaller. It has a solid brown color bottom with a no skid surface so your bird can stand firmly without sliding around while he has his bath. The top of the bird bath is an amber clear plastic that you can see through but it's not completely clear. I guess this is to give the bird the idea that he is somewhat protected. The entire bird bath is not completely squared off but generally measures about 5 inches tall 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep. It is a little narrower at the bottom and top and flairs out in the middle. The opening measures 3" tall by 4.5" wide. Again it is not completely square. The opening is completely in the top piece and on the bottom that faces inside the cage there is an edge that functions like a perch.
Attaching the Penn Plax Bird Bath to your cage with the universal hanging clips
Under the perch are two wide tabs that slide onto the side of your birds cage at a sliding open door. To attach slide open the door to the cage and slide on the cage bars so the bath is outside the cage and the long tabs are inside. At the top are two adjustable clips that you can clip to the top of the sliding door when it is open. This fits rather securely but I would watch your bird when you have this on the cage to make sure it stays secure. I have never had a problem but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Coaxing your bird to use the bird bath
I start out by just putting a little bit of water in the bird bath and trying to coax him in by floating some lettuce in the water or you could put a spring of spray millet near the opening. If your bird is curious he will sit on the perch and look around. If you are lucky he may step inside and have himself a bath. I have had parakeets that jump right in and have a great time, and others that act like it is not there at all. My current parakeet is a little shy with anything new so I am still trying to coax him in. If your bird does not like it at first just attach it and leave it there as long as you can. It may take a week or more of daily exposure to the bird bath for him to finally take a dip but once he does you will get quite a show. It is really fun to watch and the birds seem to enjoy it too.
Thanks for reading my review
If you have any questions about the Penn Plax Bird Bath or anything else to do with birds feel free to leave something in the comments section and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

The economists surveyed forecast an average of nearly 180,000 new jobs per month over the next twelve months. This is down from last month's forecast, which projected average monthly gains of 196,000 jobs.
The survey forecasts that the unemployment rate will sit at 9.7 in June, before dropping to 9.4 percent by the end of 2010.
A year from now in June 2011, economists predict the unemployment rate to be 9 percent, falling to 8.6 percent in December 2011.
The economists said job growth is still seen as a key factor in the economic recovery.

ABC (Sun., Nov. 15, 8 P.M. ET)
This look at the Motown singing group of the '70s is more jarring than any disco dance cooked up in that era. It begins sweetly with the post—World War II romance of Joseph Jackson (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) and bride-to-be Katherine Scruse (Angela Bassett). As they raise their nine children in Gary, Ind., the tone changes, and Joseph becomes a martinet, pile-driving his talented brood toward success. In one scene the father whips the clumsy Marlon with a switch for missing a spin move in rehearsal.
The mini, which concludes on Wednesday, only comes alive in the platinum years of the Jackson Five, when the group was churning out such pop-soul hits as "ABC" and "I Want You Back." (Billy Dee Williams plays Motown founder Berry Gordy; Vanessa Williams plays Gordy's aide, Suzanne de Passe, executive producer of this mini. Both are solid. Less convincing is Holly Robinson, of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, as Diana Ross.) But after each energized performance snippet, the film submerges again into the rancorous family bog.
Director Karen Arthur has no sense of pacing and does a poor job of handling crowd scenes. Then there are all these whiplash transitions and omissions. When the mother joins the family after they have relocated to California, the here to fore short-cropped boys all come to the door sporting towering Afros. It's as comical as an In Living Color sketch. Sometime in the third hour, Tito tells a girl that his family are strict Jehovah's Witnesses, although at no time does the mini offer a hint of religious devotion.
The big challenge is figuring out who is who in the Jackson brood, because each boy is played by three different actors as he ages. Every time you determine which one is Jermaine and which is Jackie, new actors come in and you have to start again. Best of the charming performers is Jason Weaver, who plays Michael as an adolescent. Two Jackson girls, La Toya and Janet, are conspicuously absent.
The music and choreography are most entertaining; a highlight is young Michael watching from the wings as soul great Jackie Wilson (Grady Harrell) sings "Baby Workout." More funk, less dysfunction would have improved The Jacksons.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Eli Lilly said today its antidepressant drug candidate edivoxetine (LY2216684) failed to meet its primary endpoint in three Phase III trials of superior efficacy after eight weeks of treatment—in yet another late-stage clinical setback for the pharma giant.
Edivoxetine, when added to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), did not separate from placebo on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) in three acute randomized Phase III studies—LNBM, LNBQ, and LNBR. The Phase III trials focused on meeting unmet needs of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who had achieved only a partial response to treatment with an SSRI. In these trials, patients remained on SSRI treatment and additionally received either edivoxetine or placebo.
Lilly said the disappointing efficacy results, which follow three years of trials, do not support a regulatory submission for adjunctive treatment in MDD patients despite safety and tolerability levels consistent with past clinical studies. The company said it would disclose data from all three studies "in appropriate scientific forums" in 2014, and would continue an ongoing clinical study evaluating the long-term maintenance effect of edivoxetine.
"While disappointing for people suffering from depression, their families, and Lilly, negative studies are unfortunately a reality of biopharmaceutical innovation, and are particularly prevalent in the area of neuroscience given the historically high placebo response rate," Jan Lundberg, Ph.D., evp of science and technology and president of Lilly Research Laboratories, said in a statement.
Lilly will take a fourth-quarter pre-tax charge of about $15 million related to edivoxetine. The company said its financial guidance for 2013 will remain unchanged.
Credit Suisse had predicted edivoxetine would be a near-blockbuster for Lilly, projecting sales of the drug would climb to $918 million by 2020 following a launch it expected would occur in 2015.
Edivoxetine is the latest in a string of Lilly clinical trial failures in 2013—a list that includes LY2886721, a beta secretase (BACE) inhibitor evaluated as a once-daily treatment for Alzheimer's disease; ramucirumab for breast cancer (though not for gastric cancer, where a Phase III study showed more positive results); enzastaurin (LY317615 HCl), studied as a monotherapy in the prevention of relapse in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; and tabalumab for moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis in patients who have not responded adequately to methotrexate therapy (though the company said soon after that it was continuing a separate Phase III trial of tabalumab for systemic lupus erythematosus).
However, Dr. Lundberg and Derica Rice, Lilly's evp of global services and CFO, noted the company this year overall has advanced its pipeline, which it said consisted of nine potential new medicines and diagnostic imaging agents for neuroscience-related diseases and disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, bipolar disorder, migraine prevention, and osteoarthritis pain.

"To continue having the best life ever" is her plan for 2010, she said while hosting a New Year's party at Tao Las Vegas Thursday. "I paved the way for the work this year [2009].
Her 2010 is shaping up to be active already, with a new album on the way and her movie [Burlesque], costarring Cher, set to be released. The two of them will also be presenters at the Golden Globes on Jan. 17.
"The album is done, the movie I'm [still] filming," she said. "Doing film is a whole different animal ... The schedule is grueling, but it's been really amazing and an incredible learning experience."
Of all the moments in 2009, the one that most sticks out, she noted, was seeing son Max, who turns 2 Jan. 12, celebrate Christmas.
"That was the best memory, his face and seeing his everything come to life with Santa," she says. "It was really amazing."

It's Okay to Buy These Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Action Figures
Do you really need an(other) action figure in your life? Probably not. Do you need Tina Fey and Amy Poehler action figures? Probably.
Do you really need an(other) action figure in your life? Probably not. Do you need Tina Fey and Amy Poehler action figures? Probably.
Thankfully, the world will not be cursed with a Hot Felon action figure. At least not for now.
A pair of mothers who were disillusioned with the variety of action figures for young girls have come up with their own line of badass action figures.
Too bad none of these figures come with realistic "die when you've really started caring about them" action. Related: this cast seems like the absolute most fucking fun on Earth/Westeros. How do we become friends with all of them immediately?
Now that a toy manufacturer has unleashed upon the world action figure versions of the Republican Presidential candidates, gay, politically aware little boys with conservative parents who won't let them play with Barbies can finally stage the Action Figure Rick Santorum/Action Figure Newt Gingrich Makeout Party of…
When I was a child, I and the other latchkey kids played long games of Imagination on the playground. The games would last for days or even weeks, all these arcing time/space operas with good guys, villains, damsels, and shopkeepers.
"Action figures" and "dolls" tend to be pose-able and non-pose-able, respectively, reflecting the idea that boys are encouraged to be active agents and girls passive objects. So j_l_larson devised a way to make girl toys that can do things.
HeroBuilders.com has released a Michaele Salahi action figure, perfect for crashing your kids' tea parties. According to the company's founder, the doll wasn't their idea — "We actually got a call from her agent."
A 30-year-old Japanese man pled guilty to burning down his family's house because his mother threw out his action figures. He says he was attempting to commit suicide because the toys were "partners" he planned to spend his life with.
Hero Builders has unveiled a line of Scott Brown action figures. They've got the Executive, the Everyman, and this guy: The Cosmo Man (anatomically correct and for adults only!). I know what I want for Valentine's Day... [Boston Herald]

The Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006
The WT Act 2006 consolidates and provides a number of separate functions. These include:
- Ofcom's general spectrum functions and duties
- Directions on Ofcom by the Secretary of State
- Requirements for the publication of spectrum plans
- Licensing and exemptions from licensing and the terms and procedures for licensing
- Charging for licences
- Grants of "Recognised Spectrum Access"
- Bidding for licences
- Trading and registers
- Statistical information
- Enforcement and penalties
- Restrictions on apparatus
- Many other supplemental provisions relation to Ofcom's spectrum management role.
The provisions relating to licensing are explained in more detail in this document. The WT Act also consolidates the provisions for licence fees to be set by regulation (administrative incentive pricing) or by auction to reflect the requirement on Ofcom to have particular regard to promoting spectrum functions. This refers inter alia to:
- efficient use and management of the radio spectrum;
- economic benefit from the use of radio, including consumers;
- innovation; and
- competition in electronic communication services
How spectrum authorisation policy is determined
Ofcom has also to comply with Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union, which are adopted at World Radiocommunication Conferences usually held every three years. This forms the framework globally for regional and national planning. The UK is bound by treaty to these arrangements. These policies set the international high level framework for spectrum allocation, but as explained in the next section, Europe has a number of mechanisms for determining European Allocations and decisions for harmonising use.
Within this international framework, the UK determines UK allocation policy. Ofcom liaises with the UK Government through co-ordination arrangements which are also explained below. From these arrangements Ofcom publishes a series of documents relating to the way spectrum is allocated for use in the UK , which are available on the spectrum portal on our website.
This has now been superseded by Ofcom's Spectrum Framework Review which was published in November 2004 and other publications e.g. the UK Frequency Allocation Table. The UK Frequency Allocation Table covers the whole radio spectrum from 9 kHz to 275 GHz. It identifies the responsibility for management of those frequency bands or services where management has been agreed, showing whether they are managed by Ofcom, the Ministry of Defence, or another Government department. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/isu/ukfat/
The policy for authorising use of spectrum is decided on a class by class basis and is largely detailed in the following chapters of this manual. The WT Act includes some new requirements introduced in 2003, which require Ofcom to produce a Frequency Authorisation Plan http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/isu/ukpfa/ detailing all the frequencies and products for which authorisation may be sought.
How policy is publicised
Ofcom is developing various new communication tools that it uses to publicise its stated policy on the use of the radio spectrum. These are published on the Ofcom website.
A series of guidance notes on the radio spectrum are also provided to stakeholders, which give up-to-date information on the respective subjects. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/ifi/

In July 2014, Madiee has finally been accepted onto the transplant waiting list. We need to raise funds to cover their living expenses for both Madiee and Alana while they await surgery, and the time they will need to stay for her recovery, which is likely to be at least 18 months from now. Please donate in any way possible.
We have items for home & living, health & beauty, books, arts, toys, music, etc listed there. Click here for more info.
Massive thanks to Rob and the team from They have designed a limited edition canvas specifically for the purpose of raising funds for Madiee. There are only 100 canvas' available (each individually numbered), with $100 from every sale going to Madison's trust account. Our Goal here at Canvart is to raise $10,000 so our designers have created a limited edition print. This is a wicked Kiwiana 600x420mm Stretched Canvas. We are selling 100 of these for only $150 and we will be donating $100 from every canvas sold to Madiee!

19/7/2013 Alana and Madison are currently in Birmingham Children Hospital. The medical team is still assessing her for any possibility of intestinal transplant or any other options best for her going forward. In mean time she has had her new shiny line changed and try to spend as much quality time with mum, Alana. Your donations and support is still appreciated as the funding from NZ Ministry of Health only covers for Madison's surgery but not their living expenses. Please make a donation or help us in our fundraising efforts if you are touched by Madison's journey to get well. Like our Facebook page to follow our journey in Birmingham.

East Regional Final Game Analysis: #3 Marquette Vs #4 SyracusePosted by Brian Otskey on March 30th, 2013
#3 Marquette vs. #4 Syracuse — East Regional Final (at Washington, D.C.) — 4:30 pm ET on CBS.
Big East fans will be treated to one final conference game so to speak (unless the winner of this game meets Louisville for the national title) this evening in Washington. Despite being the lower seed, Syracuse enters the east regional final as the favorite, a winner in six of its last seven games. The Orange are defending at an unbelievable level and one has to look no further than Thursday's game against Indiana to see why. The Orange held the Hoosiers to a season-low 50 points on 33.3% shooting in a dominating performance against arguably the best team in the country. Michael Carter-Williams poured in 24 points for the victors, who were never really challenge by Indiana all night. Against Big East foe Marquette, who Syracuse will play for the final time as a member of the conference, the Orange figure to be just as imposing defensively. Marquette is a team that gets a huge percentage of its points in the paint and from the free throw line.
When these two teams met in their only regular season meeting on February 25 in Milwaukee, Marquette was able to come away with a three point win thanks to dominance in the paint. The Golden Eagles visited the free throw line 35 times to Syracuse's 7 and shot 58% inside the three point arc. Davante Gardner led the way with 26 points in that game and will need to come up big for Marquette once again if the Golden Eagles are to advance to the Final Four for the fourth time in school history and only the second time since Al McGuire's 1977 championship team.

Insider: How A Trip To An NHL Game Was A Turning Point For Cory Conacher
The road for Cory Conacher has never been an easy one. Before coming to Tampa, Conacher has had to fight through all kinds of adversity. There was one point in his career though that may have been a turning point, a time when a player who was in a bit of a slump turned his career around. What was this one event that may have changed the direction of Conacher?s career, and help him regain that confidence to ultimately achieve his NHL dream?
Going to an NHL hockey game.
The trip to a Buffalo Sabres hockey game, arranged by Conacher?s agent, Todd Reynolds, was during a time when Conacher was going through a rough patch in his career. Conacher was a senior at Canisius at the time, and he found himself getting benched, something that had not happened since he was a freshman in college. The goal was to get Conacher to work on his defense, and play more of a two way game. Still for Conacher, losing playing time was not something that was good for the confidence.
"At the time, it was just one of those slumps you get in," Conacher said. "Basically it wasn?t anything off the ice. It all had to do with on the ice. I actually kept getting sat. The one senior night, the one night, we had a game I got sat. It was the first time I got sat since I was a freshman."
At a time when Conacher was struggling to find his way, he went to the game, and got a single message from his agent, a message that has stuck with him as he has made his way to the NHL.
"We went to the game, he mentioned he could see me out on that ice," Conacher said. "He said he could see me scoring goals with the guys that are out there. It definitely opened something up. It gave me that confidence that I needed to just keep going and to keep motivated to make it to this level. I am so thankful for an agent like him; he has been a good friend and a great agent. It's important to have that with your agent. It's been good, short career I have had with him so far. Hopefully I can make it a long one, and I am sure we will be good friends in the long run, and it will be a good relationship to have."
When Conacher heard that message from his agent and friend, it was a wakeup call for him, something he felt that he needed at that point in his career, and something that he has used moving forward as he made his way up the ladder to achieve his NHL dream.
"It was a wakeup call," Conacher said. "I think I needed it. Him taking me to the game was definitely something that helped me as well. Like I said, build that confidence in me. To keep going and keep developing and keep getting motivated from the little things, and actually see myself and visualize myself in the NHL someday.?
Reynolds thinks back on that time, remembering the Canisius coaching staff trying to mold Conacher as a player and to change some habits that Conacher had that would end up hurting him if he did not change his ways.
?The coaching staff was trying to get him to buy in defensively,? Reynolds said. ?They were trying to get him to be more responsible defensively. There was no question about his offensive talent and abilities. It was more; I think something Cory would be pretty thankful for now when he looks back and says hey, these guys are trying to prepare me for the next level and teach him to be more responsible defensively.?
?He was maybe cheating a bit too much is an often used expression by coaches,? Reynolds said. ?Leaving the zone early, whatever it happens to be. They wanted him to be better in that area, so they sat him out. That?s probably around the time he was feeling pretty down and low and we went to the game together in Buffalo, which was like a home game to him of course because it is so close to campus, and watched the game. I told him he was not far off from playing at this level, you have the ability to, but you have to be a 200 foot player, you have to play both sides of the puck, because if you can?t a coach is not going to tolerate you. There are just too many players out there, so you have to be better in that area. ?His coaches, Dave Smith and B.J. Adams at Canisus were telling him the same thing, so it wasn?t like it was a revelation from me, he was being told that by his coaches. Sometimes to hear it from two or three different places is helpful.?
?Sometimes looking a guy in the eye, and saying with conviction, it?s not fabricated, it?s not made up, you are not saying it to make the player feel good about himself, but you are saying it because you truly believe it,? Reynolds said. ?You look at a guy and say? I believe in you, you are going to play in the National Hockey League. I don?t know if it is going to happen next year, or if it is going to take three or four years to work your way up there. But you are going to play there one day. You have the ability. I have seen many players, I have worked in this industry for years. You have the talent to play at that level. The only thing that is going to prevent you from playing there is you.?
?To his credit, it was a turning point,? Reynolds said. ?He bought in, he was just relentless out there, tenacious. He took his game to another level.?
For an NHL player, or any professional athlete, there really is no more important relationship than that of the player and his agent, and for Conacher, it was that relationship that got him through that tough time in his career.
"Oh yeah," Conacher said. "[Reynolds] has been so great to me. He has been saying that all along. He said, you know, you are going to sign a big contract one day and make sure you remember a guy like me. He was saying all that stuff."

It's been a tough season for the Bridgeton High School girls basketball team who sits under .500 with four road games left in its season, but senior point guard Jovan Childers has been a breath of fresh air for the Bulldogs as she eclipsed 1,000 points in a thrilling 43-42 victory over Woodbury on Saturday.
Childers achieved this milestone on the team's final home game of the season, as she finished the contest with 18 points and four assists.
"It was a pretty big moment for me," Childers said about her accomplishment. "Ever since my freshman year it has been one of my goals as a player."
As the game came down the stretch and her team down by two, Childers nailed a lead changing 3-point field goal that instantly put the game on pause due to the crowd rushing the court and celebrating with her.
"I just took the open shot as I came down the court, and prayed that it went in," Childers said. "Hitting that shot was really a stress reliever for me."
Childers sure wasn't the only nervous one on the court that day, as her head coach Audrey Carter admitted it was a nerve-racking experience for her as well.
"It was definitely an up and down, grind it out type of game for us," said Carter. "I was very nervous for her. I was telling the athletic director during the game she needs only three more points to get 1,000 and sure enough on the next possession she hit a 3-pointer. It was awesome since it was senior night and her whole tribe of family and friends were there to share that moment with her.
"Her family and friends rushed the floor and celebrated with her for a little while. But after it was all said and done I had to remind the team that we still had a game to win. And that's exactly what we did."
Throughout her high school career, Childers has been a strong-willed, selfless leader that was honored with the title of team captain during her junior year.
"I've seen her grow into one of the hardest working players I know," stated Carter about Childers. "Her intensity, vocal leadership and ability to get teammates involved on the court really separates her from any other player. I've seen Jovan play since she was in 7th grade when she played against my younger daughter and just to watch her grow, learn to relax her attitude and mature as a person and a player has been a blessing."
Childers' maturity and leadership skills really present itself when she discusses her teammates being extremely important to her success as a player.
"My teammates have had my back all season long and they supported me no matter what, even when I didn't make the right play or had a bad game," Childers elaborated. "They showed me that same support when I scored my 1,000th point and celebrated with me along with my family and friends."
The school would later honor Childers as well once the Bulldogs pulled off the victory. She was presented with a plaque, a bouquet of flowers, a banner that will hang from the rafters in the gym and even a 1,000th point cupcake. Quite a way to send off an outstanding senior guard on senior night.
The Bulldogs will finish the season off with four road games, as they look to complete an up and down season on a high note.
"This accomplishment will motivate our team to work hard at finishing the season right," coach Carter said. "I know this team can do well. Our record may not reflect how good we can be, but the other players will follow Jovan's example and work to show everyone how strong of a team we are."

Kyle Rodriguez adds his quick comments on the final game of the 2011 season.
And with that, the Colts wrap up what has been an excruciating 2011 season with a 19-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Of course, as painful as the season has been, the next four months of speculation will be just as frustrating. The Colts have a lot of decisions to make, not only regarding Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, and the number one overall pick, but in regards to their head coach, front office, and whether or not it is time for a rebuilding period.
But, for now, we'll let that rest, as I'm sure we'll see more than enough commentary on those subjects in the coming weeks.
For the Jaguars game, it once again came down to quarterback play. Dan Orlovsky was horrendous throughout the game, and while the Colts played well enough on defense, the lack of offensive production and field position led to Maurice Jones Drew and Company being too much for the Colts.
- As I stated above, Dan Orlovsky was terrible this game, reverting to his true colors that most Colts fans realized in the preseason. Dan O finished with 264 yards on 27-40 passing, but killed the Colts' chances with two interceptions and two fumbles (one recovered by the Colts). The turnovers in Colts territory led directly to six points by the Jaguars, while a three and out and short punt (Jags received ball at Indy 35) led to the Jags only touchdown of the day.
- The Colts ran a very pass heavy offense again today, running 44 pass plays and and just 21 run plays. While the run game was often stymied by a very good Jaguars defense (just 2.3 YPC), that huge discrepancy seems like overkill, especially as bad as Orlovsky was playing. Also, despite once again playing better than his fellow running backs, Donald Brown received just 8 carries.
- Austin Collie was a bright spot in the game, finishing with nine catches for 96 yards and the Colts lone touchdown. If Manning is healthy in 2012, I am looking forward to a big season from the duo. Reggie Wayne finished what is likely his last game in a Colts uniform with eight catches for 73 yards.
- Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney both had a sack, with Mathis getting the strip-fumble as well (which resulted in no points by the offense, of course). Mathis seemed to be more visibly active on the day, but that's just my knee-jerk opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.
- Antoine Bethea was great, with the stand-up tackle of MJD on the goalline early in the game. He finished with 10 tackles on the day.
- The defense as a whole played sufficiently, allowing MJD to get his yards (169 on 25 carries), but stiffening in the red zone and holding the Jags to just one touchdown (and four field goals), despite the discrepency in field position.
- The offensive line seemed to struggle all game, not only failing to open up holes in the run game, but allowing the Jaguars to get three sacks and a boat load of pressure on Orlovsky.
Not a necessarily intriguing game, with the true impact of the game only being felt in draft position. Feel free to discuss the game, as well as the upcoming decisions awaiting Jim Irsay and the rest of the Colts front office.

FY2011 HB645 Special Education Allowable Cost Payments - Final AmountsWednesday, September 1, 2010, 9:40 am
General Fund Special Education Allowable Cost (SPED) payments to school districts in FY2011 are supported by two sources: 1) the state general fund as appropriated in House Bill 2 (HB2), and 2) House Bill 645 (HB645) appropriations of state general fund revenue. The OPI will distribute the HB645 portion to districts in the Instructional Block Grant, which is included within the state's SPED payments.
Note: Special education cooperatives do not receive Instructional Block Grant amounts, so this memo does not apply to cooperatives.
SPED payments are paid to the school district General Fund (01). The OPI has posted a spreadsheet to show the final amount of FY2011 Special Education Allowable Cost Payments supported by funds appropriated in House Bill 645. The spreadsheet is located on the OPI website at this link: /pdf/SchoolFinance/Entitle/FY11_HB645_SPED_ARRA.pdf.
HB645 SPED funds will be paid as part of the October 2010 SPED payment to districts. The official email for the October state funding payments will include instructions for the proper accounting of HB645 SPED funds. Special education cooperatives are not affected by this payment.
Please contact Donell Rosenthal at (406) 444-3024 if you have problems accessing the spreadsheet.
Accounting questions should be directed to Rebecca Phillips at (406) 444-0783 or email@example.com.

Fascinating both young and old with their beauty, size and intelligence, large parrots are truly a sight to behold. Each of the larger birds has something unique to offer and give it all with love and trust to their owners.
African greysAsk anyone with an interest in birds and they will have heard about African grey parrots. Known as the Einsteins' of the bird world, African greys are highly intelligent and pick up on things at a rate that astounds their owners. While some might not be big on cuddling, many enjoy the occasional head scratch and observing what is going on around them. Many owners say their African greys are highly in tune with their emotions, responding appropriately when they are either sad or distressed.
There are two types of African greys: one just called the African grey (or sometimes referred to as the Congo grey) and the timneh African grey. Congo African greys are the larger of the two greys and are a lighter gray color with a red-colored tail. Timneh African greys are smaller, their feathers a dark gray with a maroon-colored tail.
A common medical issue found in African greys is calcium deficiency. Consult with your avian veterinarian about the proper diet for your African grey.**For the full article, pick up the 2008 issue of Birds USA or click here to buy the issue.**

There've been a couple threads lately discussing some of classy things Blackhawks fans chant when they play Detroit. But if we win (and that's hardly a given), I'd love to see Wings fans adopt the following chant, to the tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In":
"You won the Cup
In black and white
You won the Cup in black and white
You won the Cup before color
You won the Cup in black and white"
In English football (or soccer for us Yanks), Arsenal fans sing this when they play their arch-rivals Tottenham, who (ironically enough) also last won the English league in 1961. Whether you love or hate soccer, I think this is a great, stfu putdown.
Imagine: time winding down in Game 5 (or Game 7) and the Joe starts singing this en masse. It would be just beautiful. Forget braindead "Detroit Sucks" chants and auto industry putdowns; this is clever, amusing, and cuts right to the heart of the issue: our team is better than yours.
Feel free to contribute other ideas for anti-Hawks chants as well.
