My daughter has to have a procedure done in response to her bladder infection. The doctor said that anytime someone presents with a bladder infection that does not have bladder infection symptoms, they look at the kidneys. Specifically, they look for reflux in the ureters (tubes that go to the bladder from the kidneys). There are two ureters that go to the bladder, one from each kidney. At the junction between the bladder and the ureters, there is a sphincter muscle that is supposed to prevent reflux back into the ureters/kidney. If those muscles aren't working properly, urine will creep back up the ureters and over time can cause damage to the ureters and/or kidneys. The doctor wants to do a test that will test these muscles. She said they'll fill Kenna's bladder with water and check for backflow into the ureters. If there is, we'll take action to fix the problem. If not, I guess we're in the clear. I'm really quite nervous about it b/c I think that if there's a problem with one of the muscles, they'll have to do surgery to fix it.
Nervous Mommy here... The appointment is scheduled for August 2.

Philadelphia artist Walter Edmonds, 73, died of a heart attack Sunday, June 12, at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
In a review of "Biennial 2000: At the Crossroads," at the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Inquirer art critic Edward J. Sozanski wrote that Mr. Edmonds was among those in the show who were prominent enough that their "absence would be conspicuous."
Mr. Edmonds was well-known for his work at the Church of the Advocate in North Philadelphia.
From 1973 to 1976, Mr. Edmonds and the artist Richard Watson, at the invitation of the Rev. Paul M. Washington, the longtime pastor of that Episcopal congregation, painted 14 murals inside the church.

With the beginning of September, the baseball's minor league seasons all come to a close. Now that all the finals are in, we can tell you how each Indians affiliate fared in this years season. For more information about individual players, check out the monthly minor league rankings from the 2013 season, available in the archives tab under "This is Next Year."
AAA: Columbus Clippers 71-73
Top Players: Jeremy Hermida (17 HR, 66 RBI, 62 Runs) & Preston Guilmet (1.68 ERA, 20 Sv, 72 K)
The Clippers had a hard time this year, as they were used more like the practice squad of an NFL team than a development team. Rather than a team mostly made of young, up and coming players, the Indians used the Clippers to hold on to all their veteran free agent signings, like Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jeremy Hermida. By the end of the year, all these except for Matt Carson, Clay Rapada and Blake Wood were given up on by the Tribe. The players that stayed around managed a second place finish, albeit nine games behind the Indianapolis Indians.
AA: Akron Aeros 68-73
Top Players: Jesus Aguilar (16 HR, 105 RBI, 28 2B) & Jose Flores (2.71 ERA, 87 K, 66.1 IP)
The Indians have an extremely talented class of players, set to be seen in Cleveland in a few years. These players almost all started off with Carolina this season, but finished in Akron. As it was, the Aeros finished fifth in the Eastern League's Eastern Division. This is a big fall back from the Aeros team that won the Eastern League in 2012, but when entire rosters are shifting every single season, it is difficult to remain consistent year after year. If there was a positive note in Akron this year, it was Aguilar and Carlos Moncrief who are the first real power prospects to come up through the Indians system since Matt LaPorta.
Advanced A: Carolina Mudcats 35-35
Top Players: Joe Wendle (16 HR, 64 RBI, .513 SLG) & Cody Anderson (2.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 123.1 IP)
The Mudcats started the year off red hot, but were unable to continue their torrid pace as the offense fell off towards the second half. The team did still have a lot of promising young players that could actually see some Major League playing time within the next three years. First round picks Tyler Naquin and Francisco Lindor especially stood out in addition to the players listed on top.
A: Lake County Captains 31-39
Top Players: Joseph Sever (58 RBI, .272 AVG, .402 SLG) & Dylan Baker (7 W, 3.63 ERA, 143.2 IP)
Poor finishes were a theme with the Indians affiliates this year, something made much easier for Indians to deal with while the parent team is in a Play Off race. The Captains finished sixth out of eight teams in the Midwest League Eastern Division. This is one of the Indians weaker teams, especially considering a pitching staff made of mostly mediocre players. Even highly anticipated short stop Dorssys Paulino had a poor season, batting just .246 and committing 39 errors. After two seasons and a career fielding percent of .905, it may be time for a position change for this top prospect.
Short Season: Mahoning Valley Scrappers 30-44
Top Players: Nellie Rodriguez (.287/.366/.452) & Cole Sulser (1.83 ERA, 60 K, 50 IP)
The Scrappers don't play as many games as the other minor league teams, but still managed to finish six games under .500, in fifth place in the Pinckney Division. From this level down, team results are much less important as recent draftees and international free agents are just getting their feet wet in the professional leagues. A few of those rookie draft picks did have a great season, especially Sulser, Kenny Mathews, Trevor Frank and Matt Whitehouse in the pitching staff. Without their great arms, the Scrappers would have been even worse off.
Rookie: Arizona League Indians 15-13
Top Players: Clint Frazier (.297/.362/.506) & Sean Brady (1.97 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 34 IP)
The AZL Indians who play their games at the Indians Spring Training facility in Goodyear, Arizona, were the only affiliate to make any sort of play-offs this year. Of course, in the Arizona League, play-offs are one game elimination and the Indians made it as the second team from the Central and were eliminated in the first game against the Rangers. The good news is that the Indians first round draft pick tore up the league, leading the team in almost every statistical category.
Rookie: DSL Indians 25-46
Top Players: Juan Carlos Moncion (28 RBI, 13 2B, 22 R) & Edward Estrella (2.86 ERA, 52 K, 63 IP)
The Indians Dominican Summer League team was the only affiliate to finish in dead last in their division, bringing up the rear in the SD North. Few players are able to make the jump from the DSL to US, but there are a few every year and some turn out to be top prospects. This year there was little to be excited about offensively, but as always, a couple of pitchers shined. Estrella, Erick Algarin, Daniel Gomez and Francisco Lopez are all worthy of a look at the next level.
Jesus is the future and the future is really big.

Curry McWilliams, Boy Scout Extraordinaire, Earns all 132 Merit BadgesMeredith Carroll
You probably already expect most Boy Scouts to be extraordinary kids. As it turns out, some are even more exemplary than others.
Take Curry McWilliams, 18, for example. He's been a Boy Scout since age 5. His dad, Army Lt. Col. Rob McWilliams, got him involved in the Scouts when they attended a local meeting, according to ABC News. The Scouts was one of the few constants in Curry's life, since the military family moved six times in 18 years.
And it was with military-like precision that Curry achieved an astonishing feat: Earning all 132 badges available to Boy Scouts, a number more than six times what he needed to complete the program.
Close to 3 million boys are Scouts, but only about 12 can brag about earning that many badges each year, according to the Kansas City Star. It was the summer of Curry's National Scout Jamboree when he was 15 years old that he decided to go for it.
"It did require a lot of time. There were weekends when I wanted to do other things like hang out with my friends," he said.
Things slowed down a bit when his dad was deployed to Iraq, but when he returned, Curry achieved Eagle Scout status, as well as his 132nd badge. He says it will be the memories of his dad's help earning the badges, as well as some of the rewarding volunteer experiences, that will be most cherished.
Are your kids Scouts?

I recently had a mentoring client (who I love…you know I love you, lady!) who told me she'd been thinking about a particular article idea for a week. She'd been to a gift shop in a small town that drew hundreds of visitors every weekend, which is pretty amazing. How could she turn that into an article?
She turned this idea every which way with no success…and it was driving her nuts not to be able to use it!
I've seen this a lot: Writers who find an idea and hang onto it like a dog hangs onto a bone. Are you one of them?
Focus on the input, not the output.
My secret to boosting creativity has been to focus on the input, not the output. So, for example, I read widely and try to have different, interesting experiences.
You need to feed your brain so that it has something to work with. If you have enough different input, you'll come up with inspired combinations.
For example, I was checking out magazine headlines and noticed that certain women's magazines always had either "diet" or "orgasm" on the cover (or both). I noted this with interest and then let it go, and later it popped into my head: How about an article called "The Better Orgasm Diet," on foods that boost your libido?
The idea sold to Redbook, and a news station later did a story based on this article.
Go wide, not deep.
in my recent post on what to do with an idea once you have it, I talked about taking one idea and spinning it in different ways to come up with salable angles. This is a great way to take something meh and turn it into a sale.
But if you're the type of writer who obsesses over coming up with just the right slant, you may want to try going wide instead of deep.
By that I mean, instead of focusing all your attention on one idea and using brute force to spin angles out of it, take in as much information as you can from varied sources and let your subconscious do the work. Again, it's all about the input.
The image I have of these stuck writers is of them being surrounded by a cloud of great ideas, but having laser-like focus that illuminates only a tiny sliver of the cloud.
Want to go wide? Read magazines from a different part of the newsstand than you normally browse. Pick up a graphic novel (I recommend the Bakuman series). Watch YouTube videos and click on the links for recommended watching.
Don't worry about gleaning ideas from these sources. Just take them in and let your subconscious do the work.
Take the easy route.
I told my client that she needs to find a sense of ease in her work…which is something my own life coach taught me.
If things happen only with great strain on your part, then you need to find a new way to work. Grasping, straining, and attaching only make your writing work difficult.
What comes easy for you in terms of writing? How can you do more of that and less of what you find difficult? After all, if something is easy for you, you can do more of it faster…the perfect way to earn more as a writer (or in any career).
Be playful.
I asked my client to find ways to become more playful in her work. For example, she plans to buy the classic Whack on the Side of the Head creativity card deck, which offers different exercises to help you get unstuck.
She could also try those old tricks you've probably heard of but never tried: brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand, take a different route home from work, and so on.
This is all about giving your mind permission to wander and play. It's during these unstuck moments that inspiration tends to blossom.
How about you: what do you do when you feel stuck on some aspect of your writing career? Let us know in the comments below! [lf]

Zacuto's Indie Recoil and Docu Recoil are universal shoulder-mounted rigs. They work with all cameras from the smallest mirrorless to a camera the size of an Alexa.
Whether your DSLR is your main or back up camera, if you shoot run'n'gun style or in a studio, or you prefer Canon, Nikon, Sony, or Panasonic, there's no denying these small cameras pack a big punch. The shallow depth of field, high resolution, full frame and in some cases 4K make them either your go to camera or companion piece to a full size cinema camera.
Next Generation Recoil rigs are designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point is approximately where the lens meets the camera body. In a Recoil rig, the balance point needs to be directly over your shoulder which puts the camera behind you. This requires focus, monitoring and camera controls to be relocated forward, creating a lighter and shorter rig. Next Generation Recoil rigs are compatible with all cameras from a tiny mirrorless to a camera the size of an ALEXA.
The Indie Recoil rig is compatible with all cameras including mirrorless and DSLRs. It includes the VCT Universal baseplate. Inspired by traditional ENG style cameras, it truly is the last baseplate you'll ever need. Included is a QR Riser to raise your DSLR to a height compatible with matte boxes. It also allows you to quick release your camera, mount it to a tripod or Run'n'Gun Marauder Rig in seconds. The Zgrip Zwivel fully articulating handgrip gets your hand in the most comfortable position. There's plenty of space to add a Z-Drive follow focus and Tornado grip (not included.)
Wrapping around the side and top of the rig is the Halfcage Rail and Recoil Handle. This solid, adjustable, universal cage structure offers a wide array of accessory mounts like ¼ 20 holes, Z-rail and a rod lock for mounting Zacuto Zamerican arms and or rod based accessories.
This blank canvas rig is perfect for those of you who prefer to custom build a rig. Just like the Indie Recoil, the Docu Recoil is compatible with all cameras including mirrorless. It is built upon the VCT Universal Baseplate. We've included the QR Riser and fully articulating Z-Grip Zwivel handgrip. From there you can mix and match our other accessories to complete your rig.
Want a follow focus? Check out the Z-Drive. Already own the Z-Finder EVF Pro? Add a Recoil Handle and Axis Mini with Quad Rail to set your EVF in the perfect position. Add rods to the back of the rig to hold power accessories. Not sure how to start? Contact our sales and customer service team at (312) 863 3452 or firstname.lastname@example.com and we can help.
Thank you for your interest in Zacuto's Next Generation Recoil rigs for DSLR cameras! Have questions about any of these rigs or individual accessories? Please contact our sales and customer service team at (312) 863 3452 or email@example.com. Live chat is also available during Chicago business hours.

NEW YORK — The U.S. Open received its biggest shock so far with the unforeseen development that Venus Williams has withdrawn from the tournament due to an autoimmune disease. The news came just hours before she was set to play Sabine Lisicki at Arthur Ashe Stadium tonight.
Williams, a two-time champion here and a semifinalist last year, had disposed of Vesna Dolonts in straight sets in the first round.
The Open, once a major that the Williams sisters dominated, no longer seems to be as comforting a place for the family.
Serena Williams caused an uproar in 2009 when she was docked a point on match point in her semifinal match against Kim Clijsters for her poor reaction to a foot fault. The penalty ended her match and eliminated her from the tournament. She then missed last year's match due to a foot injury.
In March of this year, Serena Williams was rushed to the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. After seeing his daughter undergo such a life-threatening condition, the U.S. Open no longer holds quite the same importance for her father and family patriarch, Richard Williams.
"It was just automatic, we were supposed to win," he said of his feelings towards coming to the Open before the previous year. "If not, it looked like we were going to win anyway. But now, it's different with me. When Serena went through the trials and tribulations that she had. The foot, I was OK with that. But when she had whatever it was she had in her heart, I thought she was going to die.
"It was more than that bad."
Richard Williams said that Serena's illness was worse than even known publicly, where his daughter said she was "on my death bed."
"It was really, really super bad," Richard Williams said. "I don't even know how she lived through it. But now it doesn't matter what happens because you look at the people that accepted you, how Serena survived that and she didn't die, you're just happy as hell now."
After seeing his daughter hospitalized with two clots in her heart, Williams — known for his fiery support of his daughters — no longer cares as much about the outcomes on the court.
"I won't watch it that long because when I sit there and I start thinking about her condition, I know that I'm just so happy that she's alive," he said. "I don't care whether she wins or loses, it doesn't make a difference anymore."

If you go to AMIC facebook page, at the very bottom left, on Jan 19,2011 there is an article with one paragraph, that the CEO may be in talks with China. AMIC links the article, not from the source itself, but from Pardagimwizard. on Investorshub. Pardagimwizard is the same ID that said two weeks ago that a long time shareholder had a cash crunch and had to sell, and also said the CEO just got back from overseas doing a massive deal, and it would be announced shortly. Well we now know that it was not a long time shareholder, but a sell-Off of 3 million shares to raise capital. So is this guy either very close to someone in the company, and got the wrong info, or did he lie?
It is evident that this Pardagimwizard is either very close to someone in the company, or an actual insider. AMIC is not just going to link some nobody's ID off of investorshub.
The problem is if this guy is giving out false info, or insider info that shouldn't be given out
Maybe that 5 million share that Katz gave his wife knocked down the insider ownership. Some strangeness going on....
Well I think I am going to stick this out. If a hedge fund made the deal at .15 and can buy 5 million more at 17 before 2015, then they must think the stock will be much higher by then. They didn't even get any cash or interest. It was just shares for the investment. I've seen companies get absolutely thrashed in equity deals.
If the stock drops down to .10, I will buy more. But otherwise I will stay put with my current investment.
Good luck to you.
Already told you it was borderline illegal in my opinion. Report it to every organization that comes to mind.
I do not socially network beyond YMB so you are on your own.
Great observation Bruin! Now can you save our limited capital in this thing?
It might be their investor relations guy/girl! ;-)

Friday, September 6, 2013
Employees for Veolia Transportation were recently recognized at a banquet hosted by Veolia, honoring their outstanding achievements. Seventy-nine bus operators received awards for safe driving and service.
Among the honorees were Cindy Mitchell and Cynthia Adams who each achieved one million miles of safe driving and Carl Gibbs who achieved two million miles of safe driving. In total the Charleston location has 18 employees who have earned one million miles or more. It takes 12 years of safe driving to achieve the one million milestone, which makes this a remarkable accomplishment.
One hundred and thirty-five guests attended the banquet including CARTA transit planner Jeff Burns who said of the event, "I was honored to attend the annual Safety and Service Banquet held to recognize the outstanding safety record of the Veolia bus operators. CARTA is proud of each operator for their individual and collective achievements." Burns also recognized the maintenance team saying, "I would also like to thank the maintenance team that so ably represented Veolia-Charleston at the 2013 APTA International Bus Rodeo. Thank you again to everyone at Veolia-Charleston for your focus on safe operations and service to the community."
Also in attendance from Veolia at the event were vice president of safety and security, Shelly Hall, regional vice president Tim Collins, vice president and deputy COO Yann Leriche, regional safety manager Ebbe Jensen and Charleston general manager Ginger Stevens. "It takes 28,900 miles to circle the earth one time, which means these operators have safely circled the earth nearly 35 times," said Hall. "When you look at the achievements of these bus operators with this in mind, you instantly know how monumental this is for them and for the company."
Several other employees were recognized during the evening for their outstanding service. They were: Gracie Wright, Fixed Route Employee of the Year, Andy Stevanus, Maintenance Employee of the Year, Kristen Carter, recipient of the General Manager Award, Dorthea Sumter, recipient of the Customer Service award and Toya Jefferson and Diane Pelligrini, recipients of the Shining Star Award.

Edinboro faces tough Cal Poly Pomona in Elite Eight
With a late-season surge, the Edinboro women became the fourth basketball team in six seasons to cause late-March excitement in Erie by reaching the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
Many area fans figured that Gannon not only would serve as hosts of the first Division II showcase at the Erie Insurance Arena, but the Golden Knights had a good chance of playing in it like they did at San Antonio in 2012-13.
The Scots (27-5), playing in their fourth straight Atlantic Regional, handed the Knights their only four losses and claimed the regional title in Glenville, W.Va., with a dramatic 82-76 win over Bloomsburg for their 11th straight victory.
Edinboro, which last advanced to its only quarterfinal in 1996-97 when it lost to North Dakota in Grand Forks, N.D., will face Western Regional winner Cal Poly Pomona (26-5) today at 6 p.m.
"We proved how strong the PSAC is when we won our regional, and playing teams like Gannon, California, Indiana, Bloomsburg, West Chester and everybody else that can beat you on any given day,'' said 27th-year coach Stan Swank, whose program claimed its third PSAC crown in four seasons and has made four straight NCAA D-II tournaments.
The Gannon men in 2008-09 won the PSAC title in their first season in the conference that had consisted of 14 state schools, then hosted and won the Atlantic Regional to reach the Elite Eight in Springfield, Mass., before losing to Central Missouri in the quarterfinals. In 2009-10, the Gannon women, with five four-year starters, were 37-0 before losing an overtime heartbreaker to eventual champion Emporia State (Kan.) in St. Joseph, Mo. Last season, the Knights fell to champion Ashland. Gannon also fell to eventual D-II champion Shaw in the 2011-12 Atlantic Regional semifinals at Edinboro, with the Scots losing to the Bears in the title game.
Edinboro, which is 105-18 in the past four seasons and 9-1 vs. Gannon, would like to follow the trend of the national champion going through Gannon.
"We have only one thing we're concerned about, and that's Cal Poly Pomona, and they are very good, just like everybody here,'' Swank said. "Their big girl (6-foot 1-inch junior), Jada Blackwell, transferred from Arizona State, and she's one of the best players in Division II. They are strong overall inside, have a good shooting guard (redshirt-junior Ariel Marsh), and they play very well together. But we're not going to do anything differently. We have been playing well, but we're like everybody who strives to be even better when they've come this far.''
Broncos coach Danelle Bishop, who last brought the California Collegiate Athletic Association runner-up to the Elite Eight in 2010-11, hopes her team can take the first step to the storied program's sixth title, and first since 2002.
"We're elated to be one of the last eight teams standing,'' said Bishop, whose team was 14-13 in 2012-13. "We have six new players, and it took us a while to get it together, and Jada has been outstanding. Edinboro will have the hometown crowd behind them, but we're looking forward to the challenge and hope to stay in Erie all week.''
Fighting Scots senior guard Darche' Jackson, the Atlantic Regional MVP, and redshirt-junior guard/forward Laurel Lindsay have been a big part of the four-season run. (Lindsay missed a 30-2 season in 2011-12 with a knee injury.) The team has seen a transformation from a pressure-defense style to a combination of half-court and transition offense efficiency, especially with junior point guard Valerie Majewski, sophomore center Aignee Freeland and sophomore guard Laurel Hippo, who had 23 points in the win over Bloomsburg.
"Finally, we got here,'' Jackson said after the win over Bloomsburg, though she warned before the regional that teams can't drive on them and get easy baskets. The Huskies did just that with easy layups in the first half, but the Scots adjusted, and came back to Edinboro after cutting down the nets.
Swank broke the practice routine Friday afternoon, and the team went to see the movie "Non-Stop," an action thriller starring Liam Neeson.
"It was pretty good. This has been a long season, and it gave us a break,'' Majewski said.
The Scots would love to see action, nonstop through Friday.

AskTheLocal is a shopping search engine with a subtle difference; rather than find websites that offer particular products it matches the search query with a postcode to enable shoppers to visit a shop in person to buy the product. Another important difference is the reference to 'postcode' rather than zip code, because AskTheLocal is a UK resource.
The concept is very simple – retailers list their products with the search engine and users input their location and then search for products using free text terms rather than a listing or menu approach. The results screen then usually displays a photograph of the product, a description, the option of comparing prices or linking into Technorati in the hope that someone will have written about it, other items from that retailer and of course the price. Information is also given with respect to the physical location of the shop offering the product, the opening hours and telephone number. Finally there is a link to a map – the emphasis with AskTheLocal really is on locating products and then going and physically buying them.
It's a simple idea and well executed; while I have a few (minor) reservations about the service it makes a real change to find a local search engine for local people, and it is certainly worth exploring if you're in the UK. A similar service (not associated with AskTheLocal) is ShopLocal, so American readers need not feel left out.
AskTheLocal has already got a number of high profile retailers on board, such as Marks and Spencer, Argos, ToysRus and JJB which is helpful, given that searchers are almost bound to find some results for their searches. There are as yet only a very small number of local shops or chains, which limits the value of the service and I suspect areas of the country that are not well represented; I ran a search for a product and got results from shops that were up to 28 miles away and then the next result was for a shop that was over 200 miles away, so coverage is patchy at the moment, though hopefully it will increase in due course.
I would have liked to have seen a link to a retailers website as well – while I appreciate the emphasis of the search engine is on providing physical locations for products a link to a website is to be expected. Most of the items did have good descriptions, but I found a few cases when the result was limited to the title of a product while didn't actually help very much, though to be fair this is a criticism of the retailer and not the search engine itself.
While the service is still quite basic additional functionality is being introduced; the option of being able to check availability and the option of including discount coupons makes a lot of sense.
All in all, it's a search engine and concept that I think shows great promise, and once it has more large retailers signed up, and especially a lot more small niche specialised shops getting involved this could prove to be a very useful resource indeed.
Postscript from Greg: In addition to ShopLocal in the U.S., NearbyNow and StepUp (acquired by Intuit) are putting local business inventory online.

This paper examines 331 lawsuits, encompassing 763 decisions, that addressed claims under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act since 1982. It finds that plaintiffs succeeded in 37% of these lawsuits, and that they were more likely to prevail in regions subject to the temporary provisions of the VRA (known as Section 5 or pre-clearance) than elsewhere. This study also documents the types of electoral practices challenged in Section 2 cases, and the extent to which courts hearing these cases documented any of the factors listed as probative in the Senate Report accompanying the 1982 amendments to Section 2 and those described by the Supreme Court in Thornburg v. Gingles.

In my last post I talked about how my problems were solved by Ashvini because of his excellent customer service. Not only did he make sure I had his plugin set up properly on my blog, he also addresses some issues with my blog that had nothing to do with his plugin.
If you did not read my last post you can find it here Great Customer Service To The Rescue.
As I approach the long over due launch of my product Customer Service among other things have been on my mind a lot.
I want to make sure I am giving excellent Customer Service to my customers. That is what prompted this post.
What is Customer Service
We all know what we expect for customer service off line.
If I walk into a store and cannot find what I want, I would like to have someone from there store available to help me find it or answer my questions.
It is very similar online. If I am looking at a piece of software that I am interested in buying, I would like to be able to ask questions and get answers within a reasonable length of time.
If I buy a piece of software or a course, I expect to be able to ask questions when I do not understand something or am having troubles making something work right.
I think as consumers we would all pretty much agree that this is what we expect out of Customer Service.
Why Provide Customer Service
Providing Customer Service is essential to keeping customers.
If you have a product or are thinking about producing a product customer service is an essential part of the process after the product is released.
Much of your advertising online is word of mouth. This includes other people writing posts about your product because of their great experiences with the product.
Most likely a really great experience has to do with talking to the product creator and getting the help or information needed to properly use the product.
Without customer service your product will not get the exposure, you will not make as many sales and you will lose the customers you already have. This means your list will actually shrink, something no internet marketer wants.
How to Provide Great Customer Service Online
This is very simple. If you sell a product and promise something, make sure you give that service to your customers.
- Service should be given without the customer having to purchase an additional product or having to pay an extra price.
- Service should be given in a reasonable length of time.
- Follow up with your customer to make sure their problem was solved.
By doing this you will grow your list and there by increase the amount of money you are making now and in the future.
What All This Means To Me As I Produce My First Product
I am finding that so much more goes into producing a product than meets the eye and customer service is on of those things that I have been thinking about recently as I get closer to my release date.
I want to product great customer service so my customers will tell their friends about it and even mention me in their posts.
Products I Would Recommend Because Of Great Customer Service

What About You
Have you had good or bad experiences with customer service? Do you have any suggestions for others who are maybe producing their first product about customer service?
I love comments so just stop by and say "Hi" if nothing else.
If you find this post interesting or useful could you please share it with your friends. Thank you.

Interview Recap #1
I wanted to recap some of the interviews, I've had the opportunity to do with a diverse group of talented individuals. Each one of these people are very gifted in their art form and deserve recognition for what they do. I know you will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed conducting them..
Vincent shares some of his background in Taekwando, Breakdancing and Choreography along with his passion for developing youth through the art of dance. Vince was awesome to work with and has major patience (Especially dealing with me!) 🙂
Hip-Hop Choreographer Leah (Lay-Uhh) Roman
Leah shares some great advice for upcoming dancers, along with where she is now artistically to where she's headed in her career. Leah was very easy going and had a great sense of humor.
Jeffrey Vinokur (The Russian Tiger)
Jeffrey is a hit on YouTube with over ten million views and counting. Jeffrey shares his love for Science & Dance, along with how he managed to combine the two into a learning experience. (He is actually starting his national tour as we speak) Jeffrey was inspiring to me, cause he's not only following his passions, he's also making Science fun again for the youth.
Martial Arts Tricking Expert Mariano "Kjer" Guillermo
Kjer shares the art form of Martial Arts Tricking with us and advice on how to learn this art from. You will be amazed at the acrobatics of this man and wonder, "How in the world does he do that?" At least that was my reaction. Kjer was super cool to work with and I'll definitely do a second interview with him in the future.
David Garibaldi is a world renowned artist, who travels around the world painting large scale portraits, in minutes to music. He has a very long list of accolades, so you'll just have to read the interview and watch his videos to appreciate what he does! I've seen his live shows and have been a fan of Garibaldi's for a long time, so it was very exciting to work with him on this.
Hope you enjoyed these! Stay tuned for many more interview's coming soon!.
Please share this with your friends, family, facebook, twitter, etc…Thank you….

I've read all these interviews and I have to say each dancer/artists is extremely talented. They all deserve the recognition for their hard work and contributions they have made to others!

I agree that we overpaided him... hopefully the Sanchez that pitched the last 2 months of the 2012 season shows up all of 2013 and more. Gotta wonder now though... do we move Drew or Rick to the pen? Could work out well if Fister or Scherzer get injured early again. I really don't see them needing any other players at this point as Jhonny is likely staying the SS. I'm hopeful that the Tigers actually perform this year

Hey Guys,
I am a new user, I would like to have some opinions about the right thing to do.
Here is the problem, I got an offer from KLC for the course MSC Human Resources and Organisational Analysis, I am awaiting for the Warwick's response for MSC Employment Relations managing HR and finally I am awaiting also from UCL for MSC Risk Management.
If I get accepted in UCL I would go right away with no hesitations;
According on what I have found in Internet KLC has a globally great reputation and is one of the 25 best universities in the world. Honestly I haven t heard so much about the Management and Business Department. It seems to be small and not well recognised, but on the opposite KLC has the name and the location is an advantage as well.
Warwick has a graet Business School, globally recognised and well ranked both in the UK and globally.The position is in Coventry, not far from London ,just 1 hour.
Lets tak about the costs: KLC about 10000/11000 £; Warwick over 20000£;I am not taking any scholarship.
I want to develop my future career in UK, I think in London would be easier in view of the fact the city has on of the most important financial center in the world and a lot of professional opportunities are concentrate there.
What do you think would be the better choice to take?
Which University is more respected by employers ?
Any suggestions is apprecciated.
Thanks in advance.
Klc vs warwick vs ucl human resources management
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
KCL's tuition fees may be cheaper than Warwick's, but do bear in mind that living in London is gonna be way more expensive than living in Coventry.
Also, you yourself said that Warwick's Business school is recognised worldwide.
Do you mean King College London (KCL) or KLC (School of Design) ?
I mean King 's College London.
Yeah I know London is more expensive than Coventry.
As for the University, they are both great and have international reputation.At this stage I am not capable to choose rationally cause I don t have enough informations and being outside Uk doesn t really help.
I ve been thinking King s College being located in London and being part of the London University maybe is better linked with employers and the chance to get a job after finishing the Master would be higher ?
Any suggestion is apprecciated
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!
KCL's called Strand Poly for a reason. Lol
Go to Warwick and you won't regret it!
This was posted from The Student Room's Android App on my Galaxy Nexus
Any other comment??????
I would choose Warwick over KCL without hesitation. Warwick business school establishes itself as one of the best business schools in the UK. So a degree from Warwick will stand you in good stead.
Thanks for the opinion. The point is, the Master at KLC costs around 10500£ while at Warwick 20000£. Since I am not taking any scholarship and it is a big sacrifice to sustain all the expenses related, I was wondering if KLC is really that bad for Human Resources or everything related with Management/Business???
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
Accommodation can also play a huge role: how much will you pay for it at each university?
Also is your KCL accommodation actually anywhere near KCL? 'Cause the Tube will cost you a fortune if KCL accommodation is too far away from the university.
This was posted from The Student Room's Android App on my Galaxy Nexus
Actually I have not found any accomodation yet.I will rent a room by myself not too far from the university.London is more expensive than Warwick, but I don t think the excess will cover the difference in the master's prices. Do you think I am gonna waste money going to KLC?
It is not well respected by employers?

It's a great uni, honestly.
I was almost faced with the same dilemma in spring when I had to choose which uni to go to for my MSc. Fortunately for me, the uni that offered the course I was most interested in also happened to be the cheapest
But I get your point, honestly I do.
10k is a lot, so do go ahead and choose KCL!

Part II
Chapter V
Grania lifted her up and remade the bed. It was a fairly good one, consisting of a mattress stuffed with sea-grass, a small feather bed over that again, with blankets and a single sheet, coarse but clean. This done, and the sick woman settled again, she pulled off her own pampooties and stockings, unfastened her skirt, muttered a prayer, and tossed herself without further ceremony upon her own pallet.
The howl of the wind grew as the night wore on. It was not as loud as it often was, but it had a peculiarly teasing, ear-wearying wail. Now shrill and menacing; now sinking into a whisper—an angry whisper filled with a deep sense of wrong and injury and complaint. Then, as if that sense of wrong was really too strong to be suppressed any longer, it swelled and swelled into a loud waspish tone—one which, like some scolding tongue, appeared to rise higher and higher the less it was opposed; then, when at its highest pitch, it would suddenly drop again to moanings and mutterings, full, it seemed, of impotent rage and dull unuttered malice.
Despite her day's work Grania could not sleep. She lay staring up at the blackened rafters, lit here and there by a dim reddish flicker from the almost dead turf. She could hear 'Moonyeen' stirring in her own private cabin hard by. Now and then came the rattle of her horns against a beam, or a pulling noise as the rope slipped up and down the stake to which it was tied. A stealthy scratching, apparently from a mouse, caught her ear, while Honor's laboured breathing, broken now and then by a hard, agonising cough, seemed to fill every pause left momentarily by the wind.
She was beginning to get drowsy, but she still saw the rafters and heard the scraping noise of the cow on the other side of the partition, only the rafters seemed to be part of a boat, and there were fish now amongst the hay, and nets and tackle dangling overhead. Murdough was there, throwing out a line, and turning round to tell her that he was going to be made king of Ireland. She herself was leaning over the boat's side, looking into the water, deeper, deeper, deeper, watching something like a red spark that was coming up nearer and nearer to meet her. And as it came close she saw that it was a red hat and was upon the head of an old man, and then she knew that it was the Fear Darrig. She tried to turn away her eyes, but could not, for they seemed caught somehow and dragged down. And Murdough shrieked, and pulled her petticoat to draw her back, but, when he found that he couldn't draw her back, he left off pulling, and got out of the boat, and ran away from her across the sea. Then she, too, tried to get out of the boat, and follow him over the water; but something held her fast, and she could only stretch out her arms to him and beg him to come back. But he never once turned his head, only ran faster and faster, and she could hear his feet going patter, patter, patter, and getting farther and farther away from her over the sea as he ran.
Suddenly she was wide awake, but that patter of footsteps was still going on. She could hear them quite distinctly—bare feet they seemed to be, moving across the flags outside, rapidly and stealthily, as if some one was passing along under a heavy load. Her thoughts instantly flew to the stolen turf, and, leaping from her bed, she applied her face to the little narrow square of window which opened above it. She was not mistaken. The silhouette of a man's figure was clearly distinguishable, showing black for a moment against the white of the granite boulder beyond. He was chose to the mouth of the gully when she first caught sight of him; another instant and he had passed beyond it, and it had swallowed him up from her sight.
Grania never hesitated. Barefooted as she was, her clothes hanging loosely around her, she opened the door and ran down the track, calling to the man to stop. It was bound to be an invisible chase as long as she was in the gully, but she expected to see the thief, whoever he was, at the other end of it, and possibly to be able to catch him. To her surprise, however, when she emerged breathless on the other side of the gully not a living thing was to be seen. A flare of wild moonlight was gleaming upon the stunted thornbushes; the platform of rock on which she stood stretched away, grey and level, but living creature of any sort or kind there was none. Overhead the clouds swept to and fro in bewildering masses; the wind blew coldly; the moon, which for a moment had shone so vividly, disappearing suddenly between rolling clouds, so that the whole platform became indistinguishable.
Grania waited a while, peering eagerly round into all the fissures, hoping for another gleam of moonlight which might enable her to discover the delinquent. Instead of this a violent storm of rain suddenly burst upon her as she stood there, drenching her to the skin in a moment. So sudden and violent was it, and so quickly had it followed the former gleam, that it had the effect of momentarily confusing her, almost as if it had formed part of her dream.
Reluctantly she turned and retraced her steps through the gully. To right and left as she now went up it the rain was beating with a furious pattering noise, dashing upon the flat rocks, shooting out in small spurts of spray, and forcing its way in all directions through a thousand tortuous channels. As she emerged upon the other side of the gully it seemed to her that someone was moving, stealthily in the direction from which she had come. There was so much noise around her, however, that it was impossible to make certain, and, after pausing for a moment, she came to the conclusion that she had been mistaken.
Turning once more before entering the cabin, it was curious to see how in an instant the whole ground, a minute before dry, had become converted into one vast streaming watercourse. Every little hole and fissure within sight was already choked with water, the supply from above coming down quicker than it could be disposed of, so that hollow groans and chuckles of imprisoned air were heard rising on all sides as from a seashore suddenly invaded by the advancing tide. It seemed as if the fierce little gully itself must at this rate be utterly dissolved and melted away to a mere pulp by the morning.

Officers honored for helping crack down on aggressive drivers
Police officers are being honored for going above and beyond to keep the roads in Berks County safe.
Nine officers received certificates at an event in Exeter Township on Thursday.
The officers worked to crack down on aggressive drivers during a state-funded enforcement effort, officials said.
Eighteen police departments in Berks took part in the enforcement. The impact of the program is clear, officials said.
"Every year that we go out there and do the enforcement on those roadways, the crash statistics have gone down. So, it definitely works as a result of the extra enforcement, police presence on those roadways," said Edward Boothman, law enforcement liaison coordinator.
Another aggressive driving crackdown is planned from July 8 to Aug. 15, officials said.

The Risk-Rescue Rating is a descriptive and quantitative method of assessing the lethality of suicide attempts. Its underlying hypothesis is that the lethality of implementation, defined as the probability of inflicting irreversible damage, may be expressed as a ratio of factors influencing risk and rescue. Five risk and five rescue factors have been operationally defined, weighted, and scored. Illustrations of typical high risk/high rescue, high risk/low rescue, low risk/high rescue, and low risk/low rescue are presented, together with scoring instructions and tables of values. Risk-rescue ratings correlate well with the level of treatment recommended (none, emergency ward only, hospital admission, and intensive care), with the subject's sex, and whether the subjects lived or died. There is less decisive correlation with age and little correlation with marital status and multiple attempts. Taken by itself, the risk-rescue rating is not a predictive instrument. However, when considered along with other kinds of lethality, such as that of intentionality and psychosocial involvement, the lethality of implementation can add to the basis of individualized suicide prognosis.

Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) is expected to report earnings on Wednesday, May 22nd. The whisper number is $0.10, three cents ahead of the analysts' estimate. TOL has a 62% positive surprise history (having topped the whisper in 16 of the 26 earnings reports for which we have data).
Earnings history:
- Beat whisper: 16 qtrs
- Met whisper: 0 qtrs
- Missed whisper: 10 qtrs
Our primary focus is on post earnings price movement. Knowing how likely a stock's price will move following an earnings report can help you determine the best action to take (long or short). In other words, we look at what happens when the company beats or misses the whisper number expectation.
The table below indicates the average post earnings price movement within a one and thirty trading day timeframe:
The strongest price movement of +1.2% comes within five trading days when the company reports earnings that beat the whisper number, and -2.7% within five trading days when the company reports earnings that miss the whisper number. While the strongest price moves are as expected, the overall average price move is negative when the company reports earnings that beat the whisper number from ten to thirty trading days.
The table below indicates the most recent earnings reports and short-term price reaction:
In the comparable quarter last year the company reported earnings six cents ahead of the whisper number. Following that report the stock realized a 5.2% gain in five trading days. Last quarter the company reported earnings nine cents short of the whisper number. Following that report the stock realized a 7.5% loss in five trading days. Overall historical data indicates the company to be (on average) an as expected price reactor (beat the whisper and see strength, miss and see weakness) when the company reports earnings, with the exception of beating the whisper number and seeing weakness from ten to thirty trading days.
Enter your expectation and view more earnings information here, or let us know your expectation in the comments section below.
Since 1998, WhisperNumber.com has been tracking and publishing "crowd sourced estimates" for earnings. We call these earnings expectations whisper numbers. Our whisper numbers are gained from individual investors and traders just like you that have registered with our site. While the whisper number itself is an important part of our analysis, a company's "price reaction" to beating or missing the whisper number expectation is the key. On average, companies that exceed the whisper are "rewarded," while companies that miss are "punished" following an earnings report. Trading on whispers is a technical play on market psychology, rather than a bet on a company's fundamental strengths.

Mark Sanchez regressed significantly in 2012, as he passed for just 13 touchdowns while throwing 18 interceptions and fumbling nine times.
It has become apparent that Sanchez cannot be relied upon as a franchise quarterback. Despite the team appearing in consecutive AFC Championship games in his first two seasons, Sanchez is a liability, and the New York Jets cannot be a Super Bowl contender with him under center.
Rex Ryan and the Jets' front office have grown tired of Sanchez' continued boneheaded mistakes and inaccuracy. It seems likely that the team will either draft or claim a quarterback in free agency this offseason to compete for the starting job next season.
To earn the starting job, these quarterbacks have to be cost-efficient, and have to be able to make plays downfield, as well as being able to hang on to the ball; something Sanchez seemingly cannot do.
Here are the six best options for New York to consider.

Ravens running back Justin Forsett became known for his darting, hard-nosed running style during a breakthrough season last year.
Named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate after rushing for a career-high 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns, Forsett also caught 44 passes for 263 yards.
Under new offensive coordinator Marc Trestman, Forsett could emerge as even more of a pass-catching threat out of the backfield.
With Trestman as head coach of the Chicago Bears the past two seasons, star running back Matt Forte caught 102 passes for 808 yards and four touchdowns last season and 74 passes for 594 yards and three touchdowns in 2013.

Sort of. I guess if the Hawks care what Pete Prisco thinks then they were honored. Anyway, Pete Prisco of CBSSPORTS.com recently released his top 50 players. Three Seahawks made the list, and one just missed(Patrick Kerney). Surprisingly though, Prisco showed an anti QB bias, after giving 1 and 2 to QBs. Hasselbeck was left off, as was Tony Romo. Drew Brees was the only NFC signal caller to get mentioned.
The Hawks that made it were….
16. Walter Jones… Still the highest ranked tackle in the NFL
40. Lofa Tatupu… right behind Ernie Sims (ok, whatever)
47. Marcus Trufant… starting to get his due.
As for the biggest mistakes made by Prisco, in my opinion….
6. Mario Williams… Your kidding right, he has had 1 good season
39. Ernie Sims… Product of being the only person on the Det defense with a heartbeat.
48. Wes Welker… Can you say.. Opposite Randy Moss?
50. Devon Hester… Until he does something other than return kicks he doesn't make a list of the top 50 players.

After honing her skills in front of the camera, actress Jodie Markell ("Big Love") chose to make her directorial debut with a rather daunting project that began, long before she was born, as a rare and long-forgotten film script by A Streetcar Named Desire playwright Tennessee Williams. Years after Williams' death, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond – conceived to be directed by Elia Kazan decades ago – marks the return of Southern Gothic romance to the big screen, full of Tennessee Williams's signature melodramatic flavor. (Read Jenni Miller's review here.)
The films alights on Fisher Willow (Bryce Dallas Howard), a spoiled Southern belle who returns from abroad on the eve of the Great Depression and bristles against the social ranks of Memphis high society, even as she attempts to re-enter it. The script has the markings of a Tennessee Williams story -- a mad heroine, romantic longing galore, and plenty of cruel, fickle moments between Fisher and the object of her affection, the enigmatic Jimmy (Chris Evans).
Cinematical spoke with Jodie Markell about the road she traveled to bring The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond to the big screen. strong>
Cinematical: This seems like a highly unlikely project to come to bear, fifty years after Tennessee Williams wrote it. How did you find and acquire his script?
Jodie Markell: I had been interested in Tennessee Williams since I was a teenager. I'd read a lot of his work, everything I could find. I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and it really spoke to me. When I was in acting school one of my teachers showed me a collection of his screenplays, and when I read The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond I couldn't believe it had never been made. I really related to the character, Fisher Willow – mostly in her struggle to be heard in a society that keeps those who are more sensitive, more perceptive, more artistic, more romantic, witty – those people, he had an affinity for. He makes us understand them, he makes us see their vulnerabilities.
We tried to get the rights to do it when I was fairly young, but we found that the estate was very tight, at the time they weren't giving out rights to a lot of his work. In time things changed, and the people who were in control of the rights changed, and we kept approaching them every few years with producer Brad Gilbert, who was really great and obtained the rights eventually. Together, we sought out the actors we wanted and the project started to come alive and the financing came together.
Cinematical: Lindsay Lohan was said to be attached to the film at one point. Did you seek Bryce Dallas Howard early on in the casting process?
Jodie Markell: Yes, she was always my first choice. When we first approached her, she wasn't available at the time; later, everyone found out it was because she was pregnant. Another actress approached us but we were still hoping for Bryce, and for many other reasons we had to delay shooting and it worked out that Bryce got back in touch with us and we were able to work with her.
Cinematical: Why was Howard your perfect Fisher Willow?
Jodie Markell: When I saw Bryce in The Village, I thought, this is the best actress of her generation. I really felt like I'd never seen a young actress with so much focus and discipline. She has a lot of soul that comes across on screen. But she also has a great determination, and I knew that would be wonderful for the character. I knew it would be a challenge for her in many ways, because she isn't Fisher Willow, but I knew that if there was anyone who could do it, she would be able to; she's had training and experience in the theater, which I really respect in a young actor. That's what we looked for when we were casting for the younger roles. We looked for actors who could work with the language – it's almost like doing Shakespeare, it sometimes seems so foreign to an actor's ear, but I knew that Bryce had that training and experience and could handle that. She's beautiful and she's so smart, her energy and her commitment is admirable and astounding to us all.
Cinematical: It's amazing that you shot the entire film in six weeks. How long were you able to rehearse before that?
Jodie Markell: It was very difficult, with all of the actors' schedules and the financing, to build in rehearsal time to an independent film's schedule. But that was one thing I felt was very important, so I fought for that. The producer was behind me on that and all the actors that could be there were there. Some of the more cameo roles, the actors couldn't be there. But we worked with a tight group for about five days, which is a lot... and then, to the actors' credit, I would get a phone call from Bryce at 2 in the morning when we were shooting at 8 the next day, and she would say, "Chris and I are rehearsing right now!" They just loved rehearsing, they were so committed to it. They would rehearse on their off days. Everyone put a lot of work into it. Some of those scenes were so difficult, and you really needed as much time as you could get. Usually on a film set, you don't get a chance to look at the whole picture.
Cinematical: Did these rehearsals feel more like stage rehearsals than film rehearsals?
Jodie Markell: Usually on a film you get one table read, but we did four of them a day, so that the actors had a chance to see how their characters flowed through the piece, where their beginning, middle and end is. Where they come from, where they're going. That's so key for an actor, to understand what to do when you show up out of sequence on a set. We'd also look at a scene and get on our feet and experiment with different blocking ideas. We answered a lot of text questions, because there are some strange and interesting ways of saying things that Tennessee Williams has; talked about the history of the place and how the film takes place in the 1920s, which was a time in the South, and in the rest of the world, when the modern age was taking hold. The Old South was especially the last bastion of that, and you see the New South becoming... Williams said everything he ever wrote was about loss, so we talked about how each character was handling the transition from the Old South to the New South. Were they handling it well? Were they not handling it well? How were they dealing with this? That was a great perspective on seeing how each character traveled through and how the characterscome together.
Cinematical: Since it is such a specific period piece, in both setting and sentiment, how do you think it resonates to a modern audience?
Jodie Markell: Of course, I hope it does [resonate] because Williams is able to touch the heart of his characters... he said once, "I never wrote about a vice I didn't find in myself," and that, to me, is timeless. The humanity of his characters is what is timeless. And he wrote this in the 1950s, but placed it in the 1920s, so that helps enough, to me, because he was already writing about another time. It helps remove that feeling of, this can only work in the '50s. So yes, there are the societal trappings that we aren't dealing with anymore, but we don't usually go to debutante balls! [Laughs] I think that people can see stories about kings and queens, stories that happen in English history; I'm interested in recovering the stories in American history. There are so many untapped, untold stories in the cinema from our own history -- our own period films -- and I really believe in seeing those on film.
Cinematical: While Fisher's character is straightforward and honest, to a fault, Chris Evans' character Jimmy is more of an enigma. Why is that?
Jodie Markell: A lot of the men in Williams' work – think of Marlon Brando or Montgomery Clift – you don't really know what they're thinking about the woman in their life until near the end, and that carries you through. They're someone that the women project upon, they throw themselves upon, and they battle with; these men, you're not sure what's brewing underneath but you see something brewing. We talked a lot in rehearsal about the arc of Chris's character, and I think he did an incredible job; it's very unusual for a contemporary actor to be able to hold what he holds in the film. He's so strong. We talked a lot about when it is that he finds Fisher attractive, what parts of Fisher are attractive to him, and how that slowly builds. When he loses it, what makes him lose attraction to her? It was an on and off thing that was happening for him; his character had never seen anyone like her, someone who was so honest. He was also searching for something real and honest in his world; his mother's in an asylum, his father's an alcoholic, and he's searching for a connection. That's how they really come together at the end, and that's what he's looking for.
Cinematical: Is this a romantic film, to you?
Jodie Markell: Well, that's a good question. I didn't set out to make a romantic film, I set out to make a film about two people trying to find something authentic. But the world of Tennessee Williams, and the character of the South, is filled with romance and poetry and you can't get away from it. And yet, it is deeply romantic in that two people are searching – it's more about longing than attaining.
Cinematical: The ending of the film strikes an unexpected chord, especially considering the mostly-happy resolutions of romance films of the 1950s, when Williams wrote The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.
Jodie Markell: I think the ending is very modern. And I think it's also pragmatic for the characters; that word resonates a lot for me when you talk about the Old South and the New South. There was a pragmatism happening for the people who were learning to be a little more crass, a little more hard-edged, a little more modern. I think that's what these two young adults are realizing.
Cinematical: Why do you think Williams wanted to make this a cinematic work, rather than a stage play?
Jodie Markell: I think he was interested in seeing the environment of the South – traveling to the different houses and traveling to the parties, traveling from Memphis to Mississippi... You can't really do that in a stage play – I mean, you can, but in his day that wasn't really the way, you didn't jump around to a lot of different locations. I think he was interested in music being a big part of it, but definitely the environment and nature of the South. He often talked about the birds calling, and things like that. There's a moment when the wind picks up and nature reflects what the characters are [experiencing].
Cinematical: Speaking of music, there's a great scene when Fisher expresses her heartbreak by playing Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3. Was that a song you chose for the film, or was it in Williams' script?
Jodie Markell: He selected that piece of music. And when I first found it and read aloud the passages that needed to play over that music, it was astounding the way it fit with the music. We had to do some editing once we were working with it, but it's still so powerful it breaks my heart every time we get to the section that change with the character.
Cinematical: This is your first time directing, but you've been acting for years. What made you want to step behind the camera, and is this a step toward a career change for you?
Jodie Markell: I think I'll always do both, because they feed each other. As an actress I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them who did not know how to talk to actors, and it was very frustrating. I just love what actors do, and I respect the work so much, that I want to create an environment for them to make discoveries. Those discoveries light up the screen. I love being a part, and I'm willing to be able to listen to their work and answer their questions and be there for them. I also have a visual sense and I've always been interested in telling a story visually. I studied Interpretation at Northwestern University, which was the adaptation of literature to stage and screen. One of my mentors there was Dr. Frank Galati, who is a Steppenwolf director now and did The Grapes of Wrath on Broadway. We were interested in finding the voice of whatever work we were adapting, and that holistic approach to the material has stayed with me. I never, even as an actor, go onto a set or a stage without thinking about how my character fits in the whole piece and what my role serves. So I've always thought from a directorial point of view.

For almost seven decades beginning in the 1860s, one family would dominate the social, financial and political landscape of Las Vegas and San Miguel County. Their influence would be felt throughout New Mexico, and would not end until the late 1920s.
The sons of this Las Vegas dynasty would represent territorial New Mexico in Congress, and help ensure that New Mexico was admitted to the Union.

The New York Times, March 29, on President Obama's explanation for military involvement in Libya:
President Barack Obama made the right, albeit belated, decision to join with allies and try to stop Moammar Gadhafi from slaughtering thousands of Libyans. But he has been far too slow to explain that decision, or his long-term strategy, to Congress and the American people.
Harry S. Truman once said, "I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell." That might apply to Las Vegas Mayor Alfonso Ortiz's declaration that the city may have to jack up its water rates to pay for the necessities of its system.
Here are some hard truths:

We thought the first big test of the new Las Vegas City Schools board members would be the hiring of the next superintendent. We were wrong. The first big test is in how the school board is going to handle the latest news that the district is two years behind on its audits.

Makes about 24 pieces
My Grandma used to make peanut butter fudge during the holidays, so I thought I would try to make a modern version. I had no idea it would be such a big hit! Be careful—it is addicting! It does have sugar in it, so if you are sugar-free, best to avoid this one.
1 cup vegan margarine
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, both work well)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
4 cups powdered sugar
½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with wax paper.
Melt the margarine and peanut butter in a medium-size heavy pot. When the butters are melted, turn off the heat and add the vanilla and maple syrup and stir well.
Slowly beat in the powdered sugar (with a wooden spoon) until the sugar is completely blended. Add in the chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon. Don't over mix the chocolate chips, they should swirl throughout the peanut butter fudge.
Immediately spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread with clean fingers, until the mixture is evenly spread in the pan. Refrigerate until cool.
