They are a LOT of fiber so this can happen. They do offer a fiber benefit if that's important to you. I just like them.
I also find that the Spirooli spiralizer I bought two years ago is the best kitchen gadget ever. Best $ I ever spent! Makes the best pasta from veggies ever.
Anyone here tried or heard of kelp noodles? I saw them at a co-op in California I visited last week right next to the shirataki. Looked decent though a little more expensive ($3.50 vs. $2).

As a retired state employee, I recall Sen. Teel Bivins' dedication in ensuring state employees would get a pay raise during the legislative sessions in which he served. I recall at a reception held to honor Panhandle-area state employees, he stated he always impressed with the work we did knowing that we didn't do our jobs for the pay.
Sen. Bivins was always approachable no matter where you saw him, whether campaigning or out having dinner with his family.
He will be missed.

Economists speculate that many Americans will spend less this holiday season because of the difficult economy.
But there is a large group of Americans who do not even have a place to live this year, much less anything to spend.
The latest government report on homelessness, released in July, shows that there are more than 600,000 homeless people in the U.S.
While the report notes a significant drop in the number of people who are experiencing chronic homelessness, almost six out of ten of them are living in emergency shelters. The rest sleep on the streets.
The U.S. Homelessness Czar
Philip Mangano, appointed by President Bush as the U.S. homelessness czar, has been leading the national fight against homelessness since 2002.
Mangano has been crusading to end homelessness for close to 30 years. He has forged partnerships with federal, state, and local governments across the nation, as well as faith-based organizations, in an effort to do away with homelessness once and for all in America.
Mangano believes that providing homes for the homeless is the answer. He says patchwork solutions have proven to be expensive.
Nationwide, studies are proving that past government responses are wasteful in lives, health, and law enforcement resources and taxpayer dollars.
The answer to the problem, Mangano believes, is simply housing the homeless. Giving them a place to live is cost-effective and it is working in cities that are taking that approach.
Mangano spoke with CBN News about his efforts and what can be done to reduce homelessness, especially in today's economy. Click play to watch.

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," he writes. "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect."
In the wake of a one-car accident last week, rumors swirled that the crash was somehow caused by allegations that Woods, 33, had had an affair behind wife Elin Nordegren's back. Despite Florida authorities saying they considered the case closed, scrutiny only grew – and another woman emerged, claiming she and the pro golfer had had a 31-month romance.
Woods, while not explicitly admitting to extramarital affairs, pleaded for privacy in his Wednesday mea culpa.
"I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family," he writes. "Those feelings should be shared by us alone."
Later, he adds: "Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions ... I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."

A northwest Albuquerque community buried in tumbleweeds turned to Action 7 News for help.
Neighbor Nikki Bartness said the weeds tumble into their backyard on a weekly basis from a nearby vacant lot.
"It's leaving behind thousands of tiny little thorns. It's hard because my daughter has a hard time coming here to play," she said.
The owners of the lot are Ruth and Alan Ivener who admitted it was a persistent problem when they spoke to Action 7 News in February.
The Iveners said they got a code violation letter nearly every year from the city for the past 10 years.
"We have found that notification and giving folks an opportunity to take care of the process solves the problem," Code Compliance manager Brennon Williams said.
Williams said the Iveners will continue to get notices as long as they are not cited more than once within 90 days.
"We're cleaning up weekly. He's cleaning up once a year," Bartness said.
Bartness said the tumbleweeds pose a real fire danger.
The city said residents can always contact 311 to report any property code violations.

Jay Cutler Has High Ankle Sprain, Out Against Ravens
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a high left ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions and will not face the Baltimore Ravens, coach Marc Trestman said Monday.
Cutler's latest setback came 21 days after the quarterback returned from tearing a groin muscle in his left leg on Oct. 20 in a loss to the Washington Redskins.
"I think you all know he's got a high ankle sprain," Trestman said. "He got it rolled on. It was unrelated to the groin injury. It happened in the second quarter. They taped him up. There was no indication from the trainers there would be any further injury.

Blogging: shift of control
January 21, 2007 08:24 PM PST
By Alan November
Blogging represents one of many tools that pioneering teachers are using to empower students to take more responsibility of managing their own work and adding value to the world. Educators are typically not neutral about blogging. There are fierce defenders and fierce critics. Each has an important voice. As Will Richardson points out, "One of the reasons we fear these technologies is because we as teachers don't yet understand them or use them. But the reality is that our students already do. It's imperative that we be able to teach our kids how to use the tools effectively and appropriately because right now they have no models to follow."
Chris Burnett
One year later, Chris has replaced these misgivings with sheer determination for publishing a blog that features student work for authentic review. It is an understatement to say she has changed her mind. She now gives her own workshops for teachers who are willing to learn more about the power of this medium.
"Blogging is now central to student motivation and the whole process of students taking more responsibility for the quality of their work. I have never had students who are so excited about writing. For the first time in my career, I have students who are submitting their writing to me without an assignment, just so they can have their work published for review by an authentic global audience. We have had the author of one of our books, Chris Crowe who wrote the very powerful Mississippi Trial 1955, reply to our blog. "I'm especially pleased by your students' reaction to my characters; I tried to make the fictional people as complicated and interesting as people are in real life. The students' insight into the issues and characters are right on, and it's clear they're doing careful reading and thinking. I'm looking forward to talking to everyone in a week or two."
Chris goes on to explain, "Perhaps what surprised me the most is that when the school year finished I had students who continued to reflect on their writing during our summer vacation. It is very validating to me to have a student come back to school to share how they visited the class blog during their vacation to see if there were any comments from around the world. I hope that my students that I have in class this year will be just as enthusiastic about publishing on the blog. One can only hope."
How often have your students reflected on their writing portfolio during summer vacation?
Shift of Control
Effective e-Learning through collaboration
January 13, 2007 09:29 PM PST
By Steve Lee & Miles Berry
The benefits of e-Learning
It's hard to miss the fact that e-Learning provides learning resources in interesting electronic media and makes them available 'anywhere, anytime'. Such media provides enhanced impact, improved accessibility, can be re-purposed for new uses and also help improve differentiation. However the required media production skills can be beyond teachers' experience, and often publication is by commercial publishers, or a specialist media or web unit. This can have the effect of de-professionalising teachers, who lose control of the materials they use with their learners.
Even where teachers do remain in control of learning materials, a commonplace approach to e-Learning is to simply publish resources appropriate to the learning. Such content may be 'interactive' or describe activities to be performed but is otherwise passively consumed by the students. This can alienate learners, who feel reduced to the level of recipients of content rather than participants in learning. Other methods are used by many teachers to more fully engage students, for example Tim Rylands' (http://timrylands.com/) use of the Myst computer games in literacy classes, resulting in impressive improvements in descriptive writing, especially from boys. Teachers in the creative arts often use collaboration and group work around technology to create works in media such as music technology, videos or animations.
Learning in the classroom
Many students find that their learning is most effective when they actively construct knowledge during group social interaction and collaboration. Characteristics of such approaches also include: an awareness of multiple perspectives, provision of realistic contexts, a sense of ownership and voice, learning as a social experience, an acknowledgement of multiple modes of representation and a sense of self-awareness (metacognition, or learning about learning). These approaches are variously called social constructivism, social learning, collaborative learning or aggregated learning. The theories of social constructivist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructivism) epistemology and Vygotsky's 'zone of proximal development' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Vygotsky) provide a rigorous underpinning for such pedagogies.

Introduction: blogs in the classroom
Blogs and special needs students
Surprisingly, within our Information Age, pedagogical blogging was new to my school. Many of my peers had never heard of blogs before and much of the research on blogs comes from the U.K. When I explained to my fellow teachers, some expressed concerns about potential legal issues.
I still wanted to explore the use of blogs in the classroom, and selected a small group of 8th grade students (i.e. age 14). To start with, the girls and I had a "refresher" discussion on internet safety. Each of the girls picked a pen name for confidentiality.
Acceptable Use Policies
Currently there are no official laws, rules, or guidelines for blogging in U.S. classrooms. Therefore, we came up with some classroom guidelines. "Preparing students to be responsible users of the internet also involves helping them learn what is safe and appropriate behaviour" (Grabe & Grabe, 2001). Each school year, I ask my students for input on the classroom rules and wanted us to share in cultivating the cyber climate as well.
Our rules included safety guidelines such as not to reveal students' and/or teachers' names, addresses, phone numbers, or the name of our school. Hence, we all had varied and somewhat creative pen names. Interestingly, when I asked the girls for suggestions regarding the classroom blog guidelines, I noticed a pattern among their comments. I placed these comments into the following main categories: (1) confidentiality (2) authenticity (3) respect, and (4) teamwork. Much of the discourse pertaining to blog rules took place online between the students.
The purpose of our blog
I asked the girls which topics they would like to discuss on the blog and the following were their suggestions: (1) music (2) hobbies (3) self-esteem (4) parents (5) boyfriends (6) sex (7) drugs, and (8) education. The girls then voted on which topic they wanted to discuss. The topic of self-esteem was chosen. Many of the girls said they chose self-esteem because they believed that the other topics were all interconnected with self-esteem.
Prior to discussing self-esteem online we read a chapter titled Self-Image and Self-Improvement in th
Blogs you must read!
November 12, 2006 10:55 PM PST
If you would like to expand your blog-reading horizons, there is no better way than to find a few bloggers whose writing you like, and then check their blogrolls – the list of blogs to which they subscribe – in order to see which blogs they are reading.
If they are listed in Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com) you can see who else subscribes to their blog – and then explore the blogs of those subscribers!
Below are just a few of my own favourites which you might like to explore.
However, here is something to ponder.
Everyone knows that finding good information on the internet is like finding a needle in a haystack, right? In fact, it's worse than that because when you find a needle at least you know it's a needle, as opposed to something masquerading as a needle; you don't have to go looking for objective proof that it's a needle.
So why do so many "edubloggers" think that the concept of blogrolls, which are lists of blogs that subscribers to a blog subscribe to, and similar devices (such as, in effect, shared favorites) are so wonderful?
I can see the (superficial) attraction of having many more potential sources of information, but if finding good information is like finding a needle in a haystack, what is the point of increasing the size of the haystack?

Fear of blogging
And it isn't just obviously recreational sites that are being blocked on school networks. Although educators, learners and researchers have been using blogs constructively for over five years now, educational web logs – edublogs – are currently being blocked at district level by school authorities (see http://incsub.org/blog/2005/edublogs-being-blocked). In effect, this means that despite the recognition by multiple governments of the value of e-learning (to individuals and economies), and despite an emerging body of research and numerous examples of great educational practice, web logs – which provide a simple way for educators and students to create and participate in collaborative, conversational and distributed learning communities – are being excluded from the day-to-day business of education.

The birth of Blogmeister
Almost immediately, I began to receive e-mails from teachers saying things like, "I can't believe that my students are begging me to let them write." Just yesterday, I received a message from a teacher from the Outer Banks including some quotes from her students – "This is so cool!" and "I don't want class to end!"
Writing is often taught as a technology – a tool that we invented to enable us to communicate across time and space. We teach it as a set of rules and procedures to be followed precisely, as students are given contrived prompts and formulas to write to. The difference that students see in blogging is that it is much less about writing as a set of rules, and much more about communicating.
This is a deliciously potent lever, with which to help students develop better writing skills. Rather than a task to be performed, students are communicating. Their success appears not only from their grade, but from the interactions that they participate in, where the quality of their writing becomes either brilliantly or brutally apparent.Diary of a Potential Podcasting Junkie
September 17, 2006 12:57 PM PDT
By Chris Smith
The beginnings…
My first technical challenge (easy) was to upgrade my version of iTunes, the free software from Apple, running on my Windows XP laptop. This version of iTunes now also works as a podcast aggregator and organises all the programmes downloaded from the internet before they are sucked into the iPod.
Finding good podcasts
Some users are suggesting that podcasting is simply a resurrection of the ideas of the old 'ham' or 'short wave' radio hobbyists. I'm inclined to agree with them but with the caveat that the 'broadcasts' can now be portable in a device in your pocket to be listened to when you wanted to rather than when transmitted. I suddenly have this mental image of all the students on the school bus all plugging in their Japanese earrings (headphones) and listening to homework assignments on the way home from their portable players, I bet the driver would appreciate that – but I digress.
The first podcast I found, using the Directory at Yahoo http://podcasts.yahoo.com/,was TWiT (This Week in Technology), a sixty minute informal roundtable discussion of the latest trends in digital technology from a group of USA ICT innovators; this is audio, not video. The informal style was a little disconcerting at first but each programme has resulted in gems that are relevant to my work in ICT in Education and has forced me to keep a notebook and pen close by to make notes as I listen. (there is still a place for the old technology!)
This subscription was quickly followed by others to, for example,' Learning and Teaching in Scotland', 'IT Conversations', Naace, 'Daily SearchCast' and Comedy365... but all audio. With no video yet in sight I needed to find something to look at on my 4x6cm screen in order to justify my original expenditure.
Using a number of different podcast directories, I searched and subscribed to podcasts (VideoBlogs) offering video, which included TILT, DL.TV and Diggnation.
Probably my most valuable introduction to multimedia education podcast opportunities was TILT, (Teaching Improving Learning with Technology), produced by Danny Mass out of the USA. There are not many programmes available and the quality is variable but what Danny does illustrate are some of the ways that this media could be used in teaching and learning: he is somewhat of an trailblazer for which I'm appreciative.
This is, of course, only half of the story: I've been looking at being the passive recipient of podcasts..... but the contribution to learning is almost certainly strongest when students are producing their own podcasts. There are several examples in the lists below: don't miss the ESL Students'
Photo-sharing and clip-art
September 09, 2006 10:40 AM PDT
By Terry Freedman
Do-it-yourself "clip art"
The answer is a cautious "yes". Why cautious? Because one of the things we should be teaching children is that there's no point in reinventing wheels just for the sake of it. If a piece of clip art is just right for the purpose, then why not use it? The problem is, many teachers seem to go no further than telling kids where the clip art menu item is. In the words of the standard school report, they could do better.
One way is to create their own photographic clip art with a digital camera. Storage is no longer a problem if a class Flickr account is opened: it's free. What's more, there are thousands of photos on Flickr which have been uploaded by other users, many of which can be used free of charge under certain conditions. Most of these pictures are as unique as the people who took them.
There is another outcome of going around taking photos: you start to notice things more. Here's an example: when I went around taking pictures according to a theme of "numbers", I noticed for the first time ever that London buses have three numbers: the licence plate or registration number, the bus number itself, of course, and also, inexplicably, another number displayed in the driver's windscreen.
That outing also made me start to notice that some shops advertise goods at 50% off while others advertise goods at half price. Does that make a difference to people's perceptions? I have no idea, but I do know that once I'd got going I started to notice numbers all over the place – and I noticed even more numbers in some of the pictures when I looked at them afterwards on my computer screen.
What better way to fire up a young person's interest in numbers and in their environment?
My most recent venture was to take pictures of patterns in the street: it's astonishing what you notice once you really look. Some are very nice indeed. And there would have been even more of them had I remembered to charge up the camera battery and the spare battery before leaving home!
1. It's good practice to tag photos, and discussing with children the most appropriate words and phrases to use is a worthwhile exercise. Part of the information & communication technology (ICT) curriculum in the UK is concerned with finding things out, so pupils need to know that the use of appropriate tags makes this process a whole lot easier.
2. You will need to exercise the same sort of attention to what pupils search for as you would for any internet search. Although I haven't found anything explicitly pornographic on Flickr, there are pictures with ample amounts of flesh on display. I'm not sure if they would be blocked by an ordinary filtering system. Clicking on a link to Yahoo image searching resulted in my being transferred to Yahoo with the safe searching option on by default.
3. Remember that people own the copyright in their pictures, so you can't use them without permission. Flickr makes available 6 different kinds of copyright licence and explains what each one means in terms of what people can do

The Start
One of the first sites I encountered was http://www.podcast.net. I picked a Genre, (Learning & Instruction – what else?), and began listening to a few shows. To be honest, I was not impressed with what I heard. However, the concept intrigued me. Could this work in our classrooms?
Podcasting in education
With this revelation, I found myself quickly immersed in the Adventure in Podcasting. Reading everything I could find on the web about podcasting and related tools, my excitement grew and I wanted to share this with the world. Okay, that is a bit much, but I certainly wanted to share this with the teachers in my school district.
On November 25th, I published my first podcast and its corresponding web page titled Adventures in Podcasting . The focus of the show is an audio archive of the process involved in bringing Podcasting to my school district. I share with the listeners the triumphs, challenges and disappointments I encounter along the way. With any luck, those listening to the show will learn from my experiences and embark on their own adventure while implementing a positive change in the education of our children.
My first non-believer
Foot note from Terry - I am assured by my American colleagues that this means that the topics cited are obvious candidates for podcasting. Thanks to Peggy George and Shawn Wheeler for explaining it!
I began reading the descriptions and listening to various podcasts beginning with Dan's Math Cast… Mathematics for the Masses. Even with my Math skills, I was able to close my eyes and visualize the example questions being solved as he described the process in his podcast. His show also included a Math Problem of the Week as well as a Math Jo

- Podcasting for an audience
- Why are social technologies such a Big Deal?
Yes, there are only 30 million public blogs, the same again in private ones and a tiny proportion of internet users have a Flickr photo-sharing account. But there's a new blog every minute and many more are reading them and looking at the pictures. These are the early days at the beginning of the renaissance. In fifty years I hope that our kids wonder what all the fuss was about – these tools will be just another part of the daily toolkit, and might even be obsolete.
- A changing-changed social world
So where are we getting our social input? The answer: learners are getting our social input on mobile phone messaging, MSN chat, on multiplayer games (World of Warcraft http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/lowbw.html), on blogs (and on leaving comments on Fl

Hey there, randy readers. Thanks for stopping by to get your shaft wet this Valentine's Day. If you purposefully choose to visit Purple Jesus Diaries today because you knew you had to perform later tonight and needed your mojo in high order for the midnight hour, well … You're in luck. We're bringing out the anal beads for this special occasion, and are glad you stopped by.
Today's theme is simple: Hop on to a recent Twitter hashtag meme (#CandyHeartRejects) and turn it around to some Minnesota Vikings player fun. While 4 year old Percy Harvin and I certainly wish you a happy Valentine's Day today, we also want to remind you that it's not all romance and roses. Don't forget to pull some hair, bite a nipple, lick a butthole, all the usual stuff. Show someone you REALLY love them, you know? By zip tying her wrists together.
Anyway, let's have some fun today and talk about dirty stuff. Join us in the comments with your ideas about rejected candy hearts from Vikings players, and we'll get you started with some of our own here, after the jump:
For the purpose of this exercise, we present to you TOTALLY REAL (*fake) submissions to the Candy Heart Company (is that an LLC?) that were made by Vikings players who were hoping to do something unique for their Valentine. As you can see, all of these were rejected, but that doesn't mean some of them weren't smart as hell. If we missed any, let us know in the comments:
Adrian Peterson: IMMACULATE CONCEPTION?
Percy Harvin: UR SMOKIN'
Toby Gerhart: DO SEX NOW?
Christian Ponder: TAKE IT OFF
Chris Cook: DON'T MAKE ME
Harrison Smith: BUMPIN UGLIES
Leslie Frazier: MISSIONARY AUDIBLE
Jared Allen: INTO BONDAGE
Everson Griffen: LETS GET MAGICAL
Chad Greenway: WHITE SEX
Mistral Raymond: FOAM PARTY?

Chris Kluwe: CROTCH PUNTS
VIKTOR the VIKING: <3 U MORE THAN COKE
Ragnar: HOBO NUZZLES
Zygi: A SINGLE ROSE
Brett Favre: DICK PICS?
John David Booty: U GET ME HIGH
Let us know if we missed any in the comments. Have a great day, folks. Pleasure yourself, or pleasure someone else, or do both at the same time. Let's win this day. Now I leave you with a reminder that I'm going to hell:
Happy Valentine's Day!

Let '08 Presidential Election Go To The Dogs
April 30, 2007 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
Do you consider yourself a good judge of character? I rely on Jesse and Mazey more times than not. If you don't pass their test, you'd better go take another long look in the mirror. With the 2008 Presidential elections not that far off, perhaps we should all be considering a different kind of homework when it comes to learning about these people who want to rule our country. (Note to my pal, Sue: it's a bit lengthy but I'm sure you'll find it as entertaining as I did ;-)
The following is reprinted - along with a few notes from me -- from Dr. Marty Becker, veterinary contributor to ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" and is chief veterinary correspondent for Petopia.com. He is the co-author of the best selling "Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul" and "Chicken Soup for the Cat & Dog Lover's Soul." COPYRIGHT 2000 Knight-Ridder/Tribune News Service)
Presidential candidates attached to their pets.
We know who rules our house: the pets. But who should rule the White House and the free world?
(Left: President Ford with Liberty)
As Mark Twain writes in his biography "Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." Our presidential candidates appear to be well acquainted with Mark Twain's wit and wisdom. It seems that they can't outdo each other when it comes to showcasing their passion for their pets. Presidential-pooch wannabes and first-kitty hopefuls are featured on candidate's Web sites, star in photo ops and are woven into interviews at every opportunity.
So instinctive is our bond to animals that we reach out to anyone on the other end of the leash. "All of us assign positive attributes to someone with an animal", says human-animal bond expert Allen Beck. "That's why politicians want to be seen with a pet." Harry Truman preached, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." but today's campaign managers exhort, "If you want votes, showcase your dog, and cat, fish, reptiles, and yes, even chickens." Savvy politicians know that voters attach positive social attributes to pet ownership and that being seen as pet-friendly can translate into votes.
Sometimes, however, pets can have a negative effect on a candidate _ remember Nixon's speech about his cocker spaniel, Checkers? Or Lyndon Johnson, who picked up his beagle by the ears during a photo shoot, creating a public outcry from animal lovers across the country?
Neither Donald Trump nor Bill Bradley owns a pet.

John finds a Paycheck
The sure sign that hick is chic is that MCA Records now throws parties for rockers like Elton John at L.A.'s hillbilly Palomino Club. Captain Fantastic arrived in an Excalibur roadster and wearing a $5,000 rhinestone cowboy outfit from Hollywood's Mr. Nudie. One scruffier cowboy in sight was C&W singer Johnny Paycheck. They could have discussed their superstar tax troubles—after all, Johnny wrote Me and the IRS—but perhaps Paycheck was mulling another title. Why not, for starters, "Take Your Sunglasses and Shove 'Em"?
Killer Diller
Chrissie, shmissie—the most inimitable form in whites belongs not to any of last week's U.S. Open stars but to tennis buff Phyllis Diller, 63, here cavorting on the Woodland Hills, Calif. court of her 30-year-old businessman son Perry. "It's a scream to play with Mom," says Perry, who teamed with her for "hit-and-giggle" doubles with friends. "She's small, but she puts her weight into it. She's taken lessons from hotel pros around the world." Has it helped? Sure, backhands Perry. "Her tennis game is a perfect 10—on a scale of 100."
Diana's baby loves
The city fathers dreamed up a supreme treat for Diana Ross when the singer played a week at Atlantic City's Resorts International Hotel Casino. To celebrate Diana's 20th year in show business, they paraded her up and down the famed Boardwalk; Mayor Joseph Lazarow (above) made a speech and gave her the keys to the city. "There sure are a lot of black people in this town," marveled Diana at the local turnout. After planting her palms in some nearby wet cement, she suddenly exclaimed, "Where are my babies?" Then she swept up her three daughters (clockwise from bottom left) Tracee, 7, Chudney, 4, and Rhonda, 9, and her niece Monica, 11, and whisked them off.
Conner's big splash
The little plastic cup wafting over the head of skipper Dennis Conner was appropriately symbolic. He and the crew of Freedom had just been tapped to defend the America's Cup against the foreign challenger next week, after beating Russell Long's Clipper for their 43rd victory (out of 47 races) in the trials. They had sent their major foe, Ted Turner and his Courageous, packing the week before. Before the hurrahs died down, the crew celebrated in the traditional way—heaving all hands into the biggest drink in Newport.
Martin's bottled up
What's so thick and rich it will hardly pour? Why Steve Martin, of course, swallowed up in a papier-mãché ketchup bottle for his NBC special, All Commercials, to be aired September 30. Martin, who thinks Americans aren't getting their minimum daily requirement of TV advertising, will enrich the dose with an hour of jingles and slogans putting on everything from buns to Barbasol to designer jeans. As he sees it, "Who wants to sit through a bunch of singing and dancing and people getting shot, when you can see real people solve real problems—like stains, smells and that embarrassing itch?"
Main Danes
Every summer Denmark's Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik head south to France and freedom from official duty. With their sons, Crown Prince Frederik, 12, and Joachim, 11, they spend several weeks at their summer place, the Château de Caix, north of Toulouse, near Henrik's parents' home. They do nothing, Queen "Daisy" says, "like everyone else." Prince Henrik is especially fond of doing nothing: Unlike his bicycling family, he avoids a royal flush by using a motorbike.

Tick. Tick. Tick…
Is there enough time in your day?
There sure isn't enough in mine. Not enough to return all the emails or pause for lunch with a good friend. Not enough for wedding planning, Christmas shopping or all the other things that I never seem to get checked off my to-do list.
Not to mention God-time. Is there ever enough time for God?
Someone once pointed out to me the difference between pressing and important. If we spend all our lives doing what is pressing, we will miss what is important. I know this, and yet I am admittedly bad at it. Terrible at it.
My own shortcomings make people like Giff Nielsen all the more inspiring. Seeing this sportscaster and church leader go it all – or close to it – made this question weigh heavy on my heart: "How does one do all this and still make time for God?"
I know many people of faith out there who, like Giff, manage their families, careers and dedication to God with great poise. To all of you, please take a moment to advise the rest of us.
Thank you.

An excerpt from the Claws, Wings & Things column in The Patriot-News on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Q: We live in the city in a historic row house. Our neighbor is "allowing" squirrels to enter her house through several small holes. From there, they are making their way into our rafters. We can hear their little claws running around between the rafters. We are considering tearing down a wall on our third floor to patch up whatever entry point they've made between our houses. Is there anything else we can do to keep them from coming in? Or is demolition pretty much it? Would the same squirrels come back year after year? What numbers are we talking about, one or two squirrels or an entire army? Tom in Harrisburg.
A: There is a wide selection of squirrel repellents. You won't want to use the predator urine or chemical repellents in your home. However, the repellents based on cayenne, red or chili pepper – often used to discourage squirrels from raiding seed at bird feeders – might provide a solution to your problem. In confined spaces, such as among your rafters, small strobe lights have been found effective in persuading squirrels to vacate the spot.
Maybe there is a small opening into the squirrel area of your home, or maybe you could make a small home rather than going into full-scale demolition, through which you could propel a cloud of pepper or shine a flashing strobe. Be careful that the strobe does not come into contact with anything flammable.
In the long run, squirrels can be persistent. Your current invasion probably includes just a few of the rodents. However, if the spot is attractive to squirrels, others will find their way in and will take the place of any you are able to repel.
Physically blocking the holes used by the squirrels in accessing your home may be necessary. You may also need to prevent squirrels from making additional holes by lining the inside of the wall with something like sheets of wire mesh.

Third quarter continues to be a struggle for Lycoming
November 7, 2013 - Mitch Rupert
The Lycoming football team might as well have been asked to explain the theory of relativity following Saturday's loss to King's. And in all honesty, explaining the theory of relativity may have been easier.
The quizzical looks on the faces of the players and even head coach Mike Clark when trying to explain the Warriors' third-quarter struggles this year were nearly identical. Raised eyebrows, a shoulder shrug and a loss for words ran rampant through explanations.
There was no denying the third quarter has been the elephant in the room for a Lycoming team which has played five consecutive games decided by seven points or less. It's not that the team has given up a massive amount of points – they've actually been outscored by more in the fourth quarter than the third quarter. But it's how the Warriors have played coming out of the locker room which has been so puzzling.
Saturday the problem was brought to the forefront again when Lycoming surrendered a lead in the third quarter, and would have given up even more points if not for two terrific defensive stands deep in its own territory. The 39-yard touchdown pass to give King's the lead with 9 seconds to go grabbed the headlines, but it was the third-quarter struggle which had a big part in the Warriors losing their second MAC game of the season.
"Offensively we had a great first half, but in the third quarter we did nothing," Lycoming tailback Craig Needhammer said. "That's been the theme of the last four weeks. We got lucky against Widener when we only ran nine offensive plays in the third quarter. Same with Delaware Valley. Lebanon Valley came back and beat us. Coming out in the second half we just have to be better."
Three times in the last fives games Lycoming has surrendered a halftime lead in the third quarter. Against both Widener and Delaware Valley, the previous two MAC champions, Lycoming was able to overcome the sluggish second-half start to win the game. And against King's last week, quarterback Tyler Jenny led a scoring drive which gave the Warriors a lead with under a minute to go before the Monarchs won in the final 10 seconds.
The first-half offensive precision which has led to Lycoming outscoring its opponents 106-43 in the first half has absolutely disappeared in the third quarter most weeks. Only against Wilkes and Misericordia have the Warriors managed to score more than seven points in a third quarter this year. In fact, the 20 points against Wilkes is more than half of the 36 points Lycoming has scored in the third quarter this year.
Take away that game, and Lycoming has been outscored 43-16 in the third quarter.
"Sometimes (in the first half) you get into a rhythm, get the ball back and come back and do it again," Clark said. "You go into halftime and you're down for 20 minutes and you lose that rhythm."
Saturday, a rough third quarter involved giving up an 89-yard drive to King's, who took the lead on a 3-yard touchdown pass on third-and-goal on the quarter's opening drive. Then after three unsuccessful plays, Lycoming punter Zack Czap had a punt blocked for the first time this season, setting up King's with first down at the Warriors' 17-yard line.
Lycoming halted that drive with a turnover on downs thanks to a remarkable diving play by middle linebacker Kabongo Bukasa to knock away a fourth-down pass. The defense came up big again when Warriors receiver Matt Atkinson fumbled on the first play following Bukasa's defensive gem. Braden Zeiner, Tyler Smith and Kyle Sullivan combined for three terrific plays, holding King's to minus-2 yards on the possession to get the ball back to Lycoming's offense.
The Warriors ended up running just nine plays in the third quarter Saturday.
"We talk about everything at halftime and we make the necessary adjustments and they usually work," Clark said. "(Saturday) they didn't because they were able to come out, go right down the field and take the lead. Then we turn the ball over, have a punt blocked … It's just a horrible sequence."
"It's a lack of execution. The plays are there, we're just not performing to our capabilities," Needhammer said. "You can see what happens when we're able to execute. We're able to have long drive that finish with points. But when we go three-and-out in the third quarter, that's really frustrating."
The Warriors have been able to shrug off the struggles for much of the season because it never really cost them a game. Saturday felt like opportunities lost for a team which still had a very realistic chance of claiming and outright MAC championship and gaining the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Instead, coupled with Lebanon Valley's overtime win over Delaware Valley, the Warriors' playoffs hopes are all but dashed. But Lycoming can still claim a share of the MAC title with two wins and one Lebanon Valley loss.
"We know we have the offensive line, the skill guys and a great quarterback. It's just a lack of execution," Needhammer said. "And it's frustrating because we know we're better than what we've performed."

PORTAGE - Tom Krinjeck began making wine more than 15 years ago after his son bought him an at-home kit.
"It was terrible," he said of his first batch, laughing.
But with help from family friend John Bertuzzi and a lot of practice, Krinjeck perfected the process and began to make new wines.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski / Germantown Winery owners Tom and Cathy Krinjeck will open their business in Portage soon. It will be the third winery to open in Cambria County within the last 18 months.
Over time, what was once a hobby grew into an obsession, he said.
Like a grape on the vine, Cambria County's wine industry is ripening: Tom and his wife, Cathy, are slated to open Germantown Winery on Sept 5. - the third to hit Cambria County within the last 18 months.
"Wine has gained, over the last few years, in popularity," said Robert Layo, president and CEO of the Greater Johnstown/Cambria County Chamber of Commerce. "And I think there's a business opportunity there to capitalize on that."
B&L Wine Cellars in Johnstown opened in early 2013. That fall, Woody Lodge Winery in Ashville opened its doors.
Located on the Krinjeck's 12-acre property along Frankstown Road in Portage Township's Germantown Village, Germantown Winery boasts 15 varieties, including grape and fruit wines, as well as four German wines (to pay homage to the business' name).
Layo, who lives near Portage, said he's familiar with the Germantown brand and thinks it will be a good addition to the county.
"I certainly hope they do well," he said.
Cathy said over the years she and Tom were giving bottles away as gifts, and people often approached them asking how they could buy more.
She said Pennsylvania - whose Liquor Control Board is the largest wine purchaser in the United States - makes some delicious wines, and she prefers to think of the wineries to the north and southwest as complements rather than competitors.
All three can bolster tourism in Cambria County and get people excited about buying local wine made with local ingredients, she said.
She hopes to emphasize buying local by incorporating local crafts and hand-painted wine glasses for sale in Germantown's tasting room. In the future, family friends will help create cheese and chocolate pairings for sale.
"If this works, we will expand to do more events and meetings" and host live entertainment, she said. "It's going to take time to build it. ... but we think it's good for the Portage area. We think people are embracing that in the community."
Germantown Winery is to be open from 6 to 10 p.m. Fridays, 1 to 10 p.m. Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. Sundays and by appointment by calling 241-7922.

As we come to the final days of the regular session, things have gotten to be very hectic. We have switched bills with the Senate and are now looking at the bills that the senators passed and they are looking at the House bills that have passed.
In the House of Delegates, we have passed a number of Senate bills this week, which completes the legislative action on those bills. When we receive a Senate bill that has passed in the Senate, it goes into a committee and then it is either recommended to pass or amended, and sometimes sent to another committee. Once recommended to pass, it is introduced on the floor, read three times and then voted on.
Many of the bills that have completed this process this week address many issues that are important to me. One bill that is particularly important to me is Senate Bill 191. The bill will provide protection for non-family or non-household members who do not otherwise qualify for protection under the domestic abuse statute. It would fill a gap in the existing law for people who are victims of a violent crime or are threatened or harassed by people who are neither a family or household member of the person.
Just as we are passing Senate bills to complete legislative action, the senators are doing the same thing with House bills that we in the House of Delegates have passed throughout the session.
In the Senate, they have passed the mine safety bill, and we in the House concurred with their amendments. We in the House of Delegates passed the bill on Feb. 28. It pleased me that this bill passed in the Senate in such a timely manner, as the safety of our miners is a huge issue in this state.
This week, we passed the substance abuse bill out of Health and Human Resources Committee and it moved on to the Judiciary Committee. I am overjoyed that the bill is on the next step to getting read on the floor. In Health and Human Resources, we worked very hard on this bill and I am optimistic about its passage.
As always, I welcome all calls to my Capitol office at 304-340-3145 and am glad to serve the people of the 37th District by responding to your questions about what is important to you. I am in the House of Delegates to serve you, so what better way to do that than to hear from you about the issues you think matter the most.

A scientist convicted of making illegal campaign contributions is being allowed to travel to China before his sentencing so he can try to save his embattled Mount Pleasant biotechnology company.
John Dong, GenPhar's president and chief scientific officer, was convicted in March of six federal counts of making illegal campaign contributions. He hasn't been sentenced yet, and also is awaiting trial on federal fraud charges.
First, Dong is heading to his native China, with the court's permission, to try to salvage what's left of the biotechnology company and keep biodefense vaccines alive, according to federal court documents.
In a recent motion, Dong's new attorney, Christopher Adams, said that the three-week trip to Hong Kong in August is critical for the survival of GenPhar.
The only hope for the company to raise the money needed to "keep the lights on" while Dong stands trial is for him to meet with the company's majority shareholder, Pharma Equities, a financial firm that is a subsidiary of a U.S. corporation operating in Hong Kong, the motion stated.
At one point, GenPhar had up to 20 high-level scientists working on research and development, Dong has said. They had effective vaccines against the Ebola and Marburg viruses. The best ones, he claimed.
Vaccine development was halted when the criminal investigation began five years ago, but the material has been kept alive in the Long Point Road facility in a freezer.
The office has a few employees, paid from a loan from a Hong Kong investor group, keeping the vaccines viable, according to the motion.
"If the power is turned off, they would all die," Dong said during testimony at his trial in March.
That loan is being exhausted, the motion stated. "All the vaccines developed during the past decade with public funding in excess of $10 million will die and be lost forever if they are not properly maintained or if the power or liquid nitrogen supply is turned off for only a few days," the motion stated.
That's why Dong needs to meet with the board members of the financial firm, to try to get funding to support the maintenance of the vaccines, according to the motion.
Adams argued that Dong is not at risk of running off, despite his former ties to the country. Persecuted as an "intellectual" in communist China, Dong told the jury during his trial that he had been arrested once by Chinese police. Dong said they kicked and beat him, but then released him after six weeks. Shortly after, Dong left China for the United States. He became a U.S. citizen, according to his attorney's motion.
Dong eventually made his way to Charleston, where he began to work at the Medical University of South Carolina. He then founded GenPhar, short for genetic pharmaceuticals.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Moore has argued against the trip, citing a bond violation in 2012 when Dong traveled to Illinois and California without permission from the court.
Dong also lied under oath to a grand jury in 2012 and during the March trial, according to Moore's filing.
A federal judge granted Dong's request on Monday.
Officials with the U.S. Attorney's Office in South Carolina said they could not comment on any aspects of the case, because it remains pending.
Adams, Dong's attorney, would not answer specific questions, but made this statement: "This is a fairly standard request for out-of state-travel when people are presumed innocent or facing trial or waiting to report to the Bureau of Prison. People are allowed to leave for personal reasons and business reasons. It's just that GenPhar's business is global in nature. It's a standard request in keeping with their business."
Dong's trial is scheduled for November, when he will face other allegations involving GenPhar, in which he is charged with using false claims and bogus paperwork to steal $3.6 million worth of federal grant money that was intended for research on the vaccines for the Ebola and Marburg viruses that GenPhar was developing.
Authorities said he used the money to pay for lobbying and to entertain a mistress in China, among other things.

Mobile phones may make people selfish
Although intended to make people better connected, mobile phones may be making users less socially-minded. According to a recent study from the University of Maryland's Robert H Smith School of Business using these devices makes people less inclined to be generous with their time.
Marketing Professors Anastasiya Pocheptsova, Roselina Ferraro and graduate student Ajay Abraham found that studies of individuals who used these handsets for even a short period were less likely to volunteer for a community project and were not as persistent when given word puzzles to solve.
This loss of focus was also apparent when the people involved in the study were asked to draw a picture of their mobiles and think about how they use them.
The researchers who compiled The Effect of Mobile Phone Use on Prosocial Behaviour report concluded that such gadgets do have the potential to have "broad social implications".
George Fieldman, Chartered Psychologist, commented: "The advent of mobile phones, especially smart phones, has brought numerous advantages. It enables us to keep better connected to people who are known to us - but at the expense of those in front of us. This very interesting study illustrates that mobile phones may also encourage selfishness.
"The attention of someone with a mobile phone can be instantly withdrawn from their immediate environment, depriving both the phone user and those around them of social involvement. This distraction from people in the phone user's vicinity accords with more selfish behaviour.
"All mobile phones provide, essentially, 'narrow band' communications, compared with the 3D, stereo, full-colour, high resolution, real-time experience of talking to someone face-to-face. It's partly because of this, that when the phone rings, one has to pay it full attention to compensate for the comparatively hesitating information flow.
"Social anxiety may also be heightened by mobile phones. This is because people can avoid full social contact, by means of texting and e-mail. Avoidance is fundamental to the maintenance of anxiety. People experiencing anxiety may also be less empathic, so enhancing selfish attitudes."

Budget Bullets: Energy
We Can Invest in Clean Energy Projects While Reducing the Deficit, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Our Reliance on Foreign Oil
SOURCE: AP/Rick Bowmer
Read other articles in this series
America is falling behind in the clean energy race. We must invest now in these critical new technologies to restore our economic competitiveness and create new jobs. And we can do so while reducing the federal deficit by ending wasteful tax breaks and imposing new fees on carbon and fossil fuels.
We can save $46 billion over the next decade by ending wasteful tax subsidies to oil, gas, and coal companies
- The federal government hands out more than $4 billion a year in tax earmarks to oil, natural gas, and coal companies—with no observable benefit to taxpayers
- At a time of $90-plus barrels of crude oil, companies admit they don't need taxpayer-funded incentives to produce oil.
- The G-20 countries have agreed to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.
We can protect our planet from global climate change and reduce the deficit by $300 billion by putting a price on carbon emissions and levying an oil-import fee
- A $20-per-metric-ton fee on greenhouse gas emissions can generate about $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
- Even if we rebate 75 percent of those revenues to low- and moderate-income families to offset any resulting rises in energy prices, we'll still have $300 billion extra for deficit reduction.
- Creating $5-per-barrel fee on imported oil and associated products would generate about $20 billion more a year, according to analysis from the Center for American Progress.
We should double federal investments toward clean energy projects that promote innovation, create new jobs, and curb our reliance on foreign oil
- Congress can start by extending the renewable energy production tax credit, which helps wind and other energy companies develop new projects that create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.
- Congress should also establish and fully fund a Clean Energy Deployment Administration, a government-run bank that lends money to get new clean-energy projects off the ground.
- Congress should appropriate at least $9 billion a year to the Department of Energy to fund research and development, and pass legislation that invests in electric grid improvements to carry renewable energy.

Ethical Policy
We take ethical issues very seriously. For easy reference, we have broken down our ethical policy into sections.
Animal Welfare
Some of our highland dress products contain leather and other animal hides. At present we only sell products containing bovine hide or goat skin. We are proud to work with manufacturers that only use skins which are by-products of other industries. Unfortunately this is not the case with all our suppliers, and it is something that we are working towards in the future. We do not sell any products containing rabbit, fox, musquash or similar skins.
The EU ban on products containing seal skin is discussed in more depth here.
We recycle nearly all paper, cardboard and plastic that comes into our warehouse and office. We create less than half a bin bag of rubbish per week - everything else is recycled. We endeavour to supply our products in easily recyclable materials.
We use recycled paper in our office. For an average order, we use only 1 piece of A4 paper to print our invoice/packing slip. By cutting down the amount of printed paper needed per order, we can drastically reduce our overall paper consumption.
We package our goods in either cardboard boxes, padded envelopes, or boidegradeable mailing sacks. Our cardboard boxes are custom made from recycled cardboard to our exact dimensions (down to the millimetre) to ensure that our goods fit neatly inside without the need for void-fill (which creates significant extra waste). On rare occasions we may use recycled void-fill if we are shipping an abnormal order which does not fit our boxes. All our cardboard boxes are easily recyclable.
Fundamentally, we believe that online businesses create less waste than traditional high street stores. We work with a number of manufacturers to provide products which are sent directly from the manufacturer to the customer, eliminating all the steps in the middle. All our packages are sent via Royal Mail or one of our couriers, and by utilising this mass-distribution method, we greatly reduce the carbon footprint a single product creates in its journey from creation to customer.

Century High School's band won second place in the in-state bands under 100 people division at last weekend's Starlight Parade. The other winners are listed on Oregonlive.
The Liberty High School "Liberty Fit" club will finally tackle its goal this weekend. About 239 people -- a mix of students, teachers, family members and other community folks – have been running together this semester. This weekend, about 115 of those will run in the Helvetia half-marathon. Yes, that is 13 miles. Yes, many of the participants had never even run a mile before they began training with health teacher Laurie Jenkins. They're all planning to finish, though.
Primrose & Tumbleweeds celebrates its official grand opening Friday in downtown Hillsboro. The store, owned by Doug and Dawn Sellers, specializes in vintage and contemporary clothing along with a vast selection of wines, beers and select cheeses. Good thing the store is near the MAX line: The 8 a.m. ribbon cutting includes beer and wine tasting.
Hillsboro's 2020 Town Hall is moving outside this year. The annual meeting on the vision plan starts at 5:30 p.m. on June 14 in the Tom Hughes plaza outside the Hillsboro Civic Center. Last year, people were excited about the remote control voting the city used to gauge residents' feelings about the plan. This year, the city is upping the ante with carnival games and raffle tickets. June 14 is also the kick-off of Hillsboro's Tuesday Marketplace. Parking spots go quickly at the marketplace, so you might want to arrive early.
If you're still looking for a way to celebrate your Hillsboro high school graduates, send us some photos or videos of your all-grown-up babies as they ready themselves for "the real world."

If you use the boiling method don't throw away the tannic water. The water has a variety of uses. With a mordant it can be used to dye clothing. The tannic acid also makes a good laundry detergent. Two cups to each load but it will color whites temporarily a slightly tan color. Tannic water is antiviral and antiseptic. It can be used as a wash for skin rashes, skin irritations, burns, cuts, abrasions and poison ivy. While you can pour the tannic water over poison ivy, if you have the luxury freeze the brown water in ice cube trays and use the cubes on the ivy eruption. If you have a sore throat you can even gargled with tannic water or use it as a mild tea for diarrhea and dysentery. Externally dark tannic water can be used on hemorrhoids. Hides soaked in tannic water make better leather clothing. Using the brown water turned hides tan colored and that is why it is called tanning and from there we get the words tannins and tannic.

Deane Jordan, Acorns: More Than Survival Food wrote:Oaks fall into two large categories, those that fruit in one season, white oaks, and those that fruit after two seasons, the black oaks and the red oaks. The latter category is far more bitter than the former. The first category have leaves with round lobes and no prickles at the end of the leaves. The black and red oaks have prickles at the end of their leaves. They also have scales on the cups of the acorns and hair inside the caps. Some times those in the first category don't need any leaching, or very little. The rest always do. But first, clean the acorns.

A standoff at a home in Milton led to a standoff and a school lockdown Thursday.
Authorities said the standoff stemmed from an incident in December when Sara Scovill, 30, reported a prescription for oxycodone was stolen. But officials said she was later seen filling the prescription at a Walmart in Dover.
An investigation led authorities to a residence on School Street about 1 p.m.
Investigators said Scovill refused to come out of the home, which prompted the lockdown at the school.
Scovill was taken into custody about an hour later and is being held at the Belknap County Jail on $5,000 bail. She faces arraignment in Laconia District Court on April 18.

The affiliate programs that pay you on time and every time are great to join because you can be sure that they are going to give you the money that you get for all of those affiliate sales. For those of you who don't know, affiliate marketing is when you sell the products of other people in exchange for a commission. You basically become an affiliate for another person's product and you are given an affiliate link to distribute online for people to click on. So if you want to make money with Affiliate Marketing then you have to place this link on a website or blog etc. Then when a person clicks on the affiliate link and actually buys the product, you earn a commission. AWESOME! PROFIT! :P Internet marketing for beginners is awesome you say!
One stumbling block is joining affiliate programs that pay really good or are sought after, such as Max Bounty. There are a few affiliate programs that do not make it easy to join because of their numerous and very stringent rules. They pretty much only want to deal with the best! And we are the best! (Soon anyway). However, if you can join these sought after affiliate programs your affiliate income is going to be boss! (aka awesome!) This challenge is definitely annoying, and this is why you have to be careful when choosing which affiliate program you guys are going to join and actually sell products from.
What are some Affiliate Programs that Pay Well?
Here's just a small list. I'll add more to it later as I progress through my Internet Marketing journey from Beginner to LEGEND!
Clickbank is one of the best affiliate networks on the web with nearly thousands of vendors and affiliates. They are known for creating top of the line quality looking products while also providing affiliates with a place to make sure that they get the best affiliate payouts on time. More than 2 billion has been paid out to sellers and affiliates on Clickbank. They have never missed a single day of not paying out to their affiliates. They require that you first get 5 sales from 5 different credit card companies to ensure that you didn't buy the Clickbank products all by yourself. Clickbank pays out by check once a month, but they later offer weekly payments after you get two checks. It is obvious that Clickbank is one of those affiliate programs that pay.
PaySpree is a wonderful online program that enables people the chance to finally get instant affiliate sales. PaySpree is great to use because of the fact that you get PayPal payments made nearly instantly. If you don't want to wait weekly the way Clickbank sends out their payments, PaySpree is a great second choice. The products aren't exactly as good as those that are available via Clickbank, but they are worth checking out in the end if you want to make some instant and fast cash.
RapBank is an online affiliate network that is worth checking out as well. They have the same or similar set up as PaySpree. They have great products as well, but they aren't the best available.
Affiliate Programs that Pay $$$ - How to Get Started!
The way to get started as an affiliate marketer is to choose the right affiliate network. After that, choose a product you want to promote that looks convincing. If it convinces you to buy it, then you know it will convince others as well. By joining the affiliate programs that pay, you will make lots of money in the end.
But see below for the FREE Affiliate Marketing Guide for Beginners, it is really in depth and worth $37 (it is 55 pages after all). I really recommened you just take a look at it. You have nothing to lose - it's totally free. So have a look, you will not be disappointed.

Honestly... I haven't written a blog post on this topic for the longest time because well, I am guilty of not doing much about this at all T^T
After my trip to Cali (and a week before my trip) I was soooo lazy that I did absolutely nothing! I felt so sluggish and tired. I knew if I exercised then my energy level would rise again but despite knowing that... I was still such a lazy bum!
I was supposed to try really hard to work on having an absolutely CLEAN diet but I slip up here and there..
I'll try to do this once again because it irritates me how unmotivated I am!
So as an idea, I will think of topics to blog about. The posts won't necessarily be long. But it will be enough to keep up my motivation and hopefully some of you guys can learn something too :)
So yeeeaaaaup,
A useless post but I need to make this or else who knows when I will really make another post to remind myself to be more regular on this topic.
It's night here now so..
Good night!

1. How much it will be for HCI/d ( design ) course at indiana Bloomington.
Any chance of aid or waiver for international students ?
2. HCDE at UW. I found this interesting but want to know more about this.
How much this course costs ?
I've recently been admitted to the Human Centered Design & Engineering MS program at University of Washington. I was also admitted into the HCI/d program at Indiana University - Bloomington. Still waiting on a decision from the Digital Media program at Georgia Tech.
SO: if I was to get into all three programs, which should I choose? I'm leaning towards HCDE at UW at the moment - i want to be an Interaction designer if that helps...
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated! Esp. if you went to one of these schools!
Hello everyone. I am a soon-to-be HCI graduate student who is looking for some input and comments about certain M.S. in HCI programs that I have been accepted into. Before I talk about the schools, let me say a few things about my intended career path.

Parades, music and parties made for a monster Saturday in Greater Williamsport.
Light rain failed to dampen the festive atmosphere of the annual Mummers Parade in South Williamsport.
Once again, thousands of people lined the streets for blocks to take in the sights and sounds of costumed characters, fire trucks, pets and other assorted marchers making their way through the borough.

The Big Bad Wolf (Rich Hall), left, and Little Red Riding Hood (JoAnn Evans) were among those in attendance Saturday night at the Monster Bash at Farrington Place, 416 W. Third St., to benefit Public Artworks and the Williamsport Symphony.
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Members of the Cooley Dance Co. dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" during the Mummers Parade in South Williamsport Saturday.
But if the Mummers Parade drew the biggest crowd, it hardly was the only event taking place in and around Williamsport.
The second annual Downtown Billtown Music Festival at the Community Arts Center featured more than a dozen bands bringing a wide range of talents.
There also was the Public Artworks/Symphony Monster Bash in Williamsport.
People gathered for a party on the front porch of John Engel's home at Central Avenue and Lowe Street for a birds-eye view of the Mummers Parade.
"It's just one big conglomeration of relatives and friends," Engel said. "It's been a tradition."
Among those watching the parade from Engel's residence was Lycoming County Commissioner Ernie Larson who said he's only missed one of the annual events since 1952.
For Brent Backhus, of South Williamsport, the parade always is worth watching.
"I like the length of the parade - nice and long," he said.
Becky Huff, who traveled from Trout Run to see it, said she likes the costumes and the school districts represented.
"The nice thing is it's also a family thing," she said.
Billtown Blues Association President Bill Van Campen said the second annual Downtown Billtown Festival is a way of showcasing local musical talent.
With a mix of different types of bands, there was something for everyone, he said.
"We want a variety of music, a variety of ages, genders and instrumentations," added Billtown Blues Association Secretary Bonnie Tallman.
She said the event still is in its infancy and pulling together all the talent presents a challenge.
"We are hoping to keep it going as an annual event," Tallman said.
It was an old-fashioned costume party at Farrington Place, 416 W. Third St., the site of the Monster Bash, a fundraiser for Public Artworks and the Williamsport Symphony.
"We are hoping to make it an annual event," said Public Artworks Chairwoman Laura Flynn.
She referred to the "explosion" of arts in the local community during the past 10 years and the excitement it has generated.
And, she noted the collaboration that exists between artworks and the symphony.
Yvonne DiRocco, for example, serves on committees for both groups.
"Everyone pitched in to do this," she said, noting the ghoulish displays and overall Halloween atmosphere of the room.
About 75 people were expected to attend the event, which included food, drinks and live entertainment from the local band Pepper Street.
