Outfit details: jacket- Urban Outfitters, dress- Ivy Blue, tights- from some shop in Japan, shoes- secondhand, bag- Pull and Bear, scarf- secondhand, necklace- self made
You've seen this dress before. Here's a few of the ways I have remixed it--because it's not how many clothes you wear, it's how many ways you wear the clothes you have.

How do you manage to take such amazing self-portraits? Do you enlist the help of a photographer, use a self-timer, a remote etc?

Lovely pictures and outfits, as always! I really adore those blue shoes of yours and I can see why they make frequent appearances.
I don't have any questions offhand but I second Mandy's question! Just because I'm still learning how to shoot proper outfit photos and would really love some tips.

I love the H&M dress! And I need some more simple dresses that I can remix into nice outfits. I've been trying to buy more grown up things, but I have a tendency to buy... silly/frilly. Haha.

All of these photos are gorgeous. First question- who is your photographer?! I love the bell-sleeves on your dress- you look so elegant!

Lovely outfits!
For the questions....

love the hair bow, and the burgundy tights. your photos are always so pretty! :-D
what is your favourite colour of tights to wear? :-D I like green, but my mother tells me I look like kermit, so I pretend to like purple instead ;-)

- Fashion Prescription said...
i love your outfits, especially the bag! Let's see...question....How did you get interested in blogging? Whatever the answer, I'm glad you blog because I love reading it!
- March 8, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Do you ever get that worry that it is superficial to spend so much time thinking about clothes?
- March 8, 2009 at 8:26 PM
- Emily said...
I am terrible at thinking of questions to ask people for these Q&A posts :P
Your Ivy Blue dress is lovely. I really like each way you've remixed it.
- March 8, 2009 at 8:40 PM
- lisa said...
Love your Dutch clog necklace! Hmm questions...questions...how much time would you say you spend on blog stuff every week (e.g. answering emails, doing posts, uploading/editing photos, research)?
- March 8, 2009 at 8:58 PM
- ohphilippa said...
the gold tights are so great! how did your blog get such a huge readership? apart from the obvious, and that's how great it is! and i'd also just like to say i really like how you do respond to questions and drop by commenter's blogs
- March 8, 2009 at 9:11 PM
- surimay said...
ooh i love the location of this shoot you've done. all those wooden stairs. haha i don't know why, but i find it so fun walking along wooden planks, bridges and the like.
anyway, great outfits! and i'm in awe at how you can wear your clothes in so many different ways. it makes them look completely different! :D
question: because of the sheer number of readers you have, do you ever feel stressed out a bit trying to keep up with everyone and everything?
- March 8, 2009 at 9:23 PM
i hope it's not too personal but do you have a bf?
what do you do for fun? hobbies?
someone already asked this: how do you take such amazing pics? helper?:)
what's your major?
- March 8, 2009 at 9:25 PM
- ♥ Chloe said...
1. What are you going to school for? I'm sure you've said it somewhere on here, but I've always missed it.
2. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Where will you live? What would you like to be doing?
3. What is your favorite candy?
4. You can choose one last meal to eat before you die (okay, a bit morbid, but uhh hear me out). What would it be?
5. Who is your favorite actress?

gosh i LOVE the shoot in the forest! it reminds me of a photoshoot i styled for a local fashion mag - i'll try to dig up those images and post them on my blog soon!
the dress tights combo is fantastique!
- March 8, 2009 at 10:09 PM
- indigotangerine said...
I love the burgundy teal color combo, and your jacket in the second set of pictures. I must second the question about where you go to school/ what for., not because I'm a stalker but becuase I'm just started looking at colleges. And also second the question about how you take your lovely photos.

I love the first picture and how you wear the scarf as a headband. I feel like I have a million questions, but none of them are really coming to me. The only thing is that I would love to see what is on the walls of your room. We've seen a hint of it in past pictures and I'm curious to see more.

- March 9, 2009 at 12:24 AM
I love your pictures! May I ask for some fashion advice; the other day I was picking out an outfit however I wanted to be a little practical with what I was wearing (walking around campus hurts my feet) so the outfit I wore was, Red, black, and white, diamond sweater vest over my black blouse, a black pleated skirt, red tights and (this is where I got some off comments) a pair of black and white Keds sneakers. Do you think the sneakers make people look immature, with tights. I noticed you wear skirts with your sneakers sometimes but you don't wear tights. Please Help?
- March 9, 2009 at 1:45 AM

hahah great outfits! ive been seeing your outfits thought chictopia but this is the first time i visit your blog! i love it ;p as for the questions, i would ask, what made your leave greece? (i ask that because i love greece and i go there many times a year because we have an appartment and im thinking about studying there ;p)
- March 9, 2009 at 2:09 AM
- lopi said...
I know I had my chance to ask you questions before, but here it goes anyway:
To extend the question an anonymous commenter already asked you above "Do you ever get that worry that it is superficial to spend so much time thinking about clothes?" I'd like to know if there's something specific you answer to anyone who implies you are superficial for having such an interest in clothes. Do you have a favorite quote you like to use on situations like that, do you answer differently every time or do you choose not to signify that implication with an answer?
Oh, and beautiful pictures! As always.
- March 9, 2009 at 2:14 AM
- Pratishtha Durga said...
I agree with the last bit. I too try and create as many looks as possible by mixing a few pieces.
I love the yellow bag. It looks awesome and is big enough to fit your world.

I love the bell sleeves on that ivy Blue dress!
My questions are about your shopping habits. You seem to have a realistic amount of clothes and are really good at remixing them - also as a student you shop in the type of shops we can all afford so I'm curious...
How often would you go shopping?
How much of your clothes shopping is done online as opposed to in person?
And on average how much would you spend on clothes a week?
Look forward to hearing your answers!

Great mixes with the dress :-) I love it when you have a dress that is as versitile as that.
Your clog necklace is also brilliant, it reminds me of a keyring I used to have, I wish I still did so I could make a necklace like that.

Rebecca, I don't know if anyone else has ever asked you this, and I'll admit I didn't read each and every one of the 50+ comments before this one, so I risk duplication, but I'll ask:
What kind of music do you listen to, if you do, in fact, spend spare time listening to music?
- March 9, 2009 at 7:36 AM
- Maeko said...
1. What is your major?
2. Where do you work?
3. Do you ever lug a tripod with you, because your photos always turn out well with complete clarity.

Ooh! I wrote here yesterday, don't think it went through!
Q1: What do you plan to do after you graduate?
Q2: I ask Q1 in view that you are studying a business-related degree, but seem SO incredibly talented in all-that-is-artistic, and wondered if you planned to marry the two...
Q3: Do you parents & sister read your blog?
Q4: Where are these amazing 'woods' you take your photographs in?
Oh, I'm sure I had more, but have just come home from work and am drawing a mental blank.
Look forward to seeing your answers & everyone else's (more intelligent/interesting) Q's ;)

- March 10, 2009 at 9:31 AM
Hi. I posted yesterday; don't think it worked. So, my question is how do you find time every day to do homework, go to class, go to work, do your blog, visit other blogs, draw, read, hang out, etc. Are you just the world's best time manager? Do you sleep at all? Also, what kind of camera do you use? Thanks. Love your blog.

I have finally recovered and healed from having mastitis and an abscess, and I have never regained my supply. When I went to have my abscess drained the doctor said it looked like some of the ducts in my breast had dried up. I am trying to continue BF, but I have not even half of the supply I had before. I exclusively pump and so I know there's a dramatic drop in supply. My question is this a supply issue or do I need to relactate? I do as much as I can to keep my supply up - stay hydrated, eat enough, get enough rest, take fenugreek and lactation cookies - but it's still hard for me to make enough to feed her throughout the day. I used up all of my stash when I got sick since I wasn't producing any, and so now I'm pretty much pumping to keep up with her feeding schedule.
Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Some Chevrolet Dealerships Have Volt Revolt After Price Increase
Tiffany Kaiser
January 2, 2013 5:14 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Dealerships don't want to spend more on tools needed to service the Volts since sales for most are down
Select Chevrolet dealerships around the U.S. are ditching
the Volt
after General Motors (GM) hiked up the price of tools to service the vehicle.
Last year, dealerships spent $1,800 to $2,800 on tools that are required to service each Volt plug-in hybrid. However, GM has raised the price of these tools to $5,100. The reason? A battery-repowering tool that removes and ships sections of the Volt's huge 435-pound battery for repair instead of shipping the whole thing costs dealerships about $4,735. This makes up the bulk of the tool costs while a few others are needed as well.
Due to this price hike, some dealerships have decided to stop selling the Volt altogether. Some say their overall Volt sales just don't justify the additional cost.
Allyn Barnard, owner of Jim Barnard Chevrolet in Churchville, New York, is among those who feel that way. He has only sold five Volts since the vehicle's launch in late 2010/early 2011, and doesn't see the point in paying over $5,000 for the tools needed to service them.
"Going forward, the profitability would be really hard for us to justify the expense of the repair tools," said Barnard.
The Volt may have had a bumpy start with a few
production shutdowns
and issues with lithium ion battery fires during National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) testing, but
sales of the Volt have been very impressive
over the last year. During the first seven months of 2012, GM sold 10,666 Volt extended range electric vehicles for an increase of 270% compared to the first seven months of 2011.
However, Chevrolet then had a low November sales month due to low inventory. Chevrolet sold 1,519 Volts in November 2012, which represented a 33 percent increase over November 2011. But the number of cars sold in November was roughly half the number sold in October and September when the company sold 2,961 and 2,851 Volts respectively.
Chevrolet said this is a good thing, though, because it means
demand is higher than expected
As of December 2012, General Motors had sold 20,828 Volts for the year.
Despite these excellent numbers (Nissan was hoping to sell 20,000 Leafs in 2012, but fell way short), about 70 percent of Volt sales are generated by the 300 top-selling dealerships. There are about 2,614 dealerships certified to sell the Volt.

Belief in Echinacea
Note: The study discussed here has also been covered by Mark Crislip. I wrote this before his article was published, so please forgive any repetition. I approached it from a different angle; and anyway, if something is worth saying once it's probably worth saying twice.
Is Echinacea effective for preventing and treating the common cold or is it just a placebo? My interpretation of the evidence is that Echinacea does little or nothing for the common cold. Initial reports were favorable, but were followed by four highly-credible negative trials in major medical journals. A Cochrane systematic review was typically wishy-washy. The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates it as only "possibly effective" commenting that:
Clinical studies and meta-analyses show that taking some Echinacea preparations can modestly reduce cold symptom severity and duration, possibly by about 10% to 30%; however, this level of symptom reduction might not be clinically meaningful for some patients. Several other clinical studies found no benefit from Echinacea preparations for reducing cold symptoms in adults or children…
A review on the common cold in American Family Physician stated that Echinacea is not recommended as a treatment.
I have a friend who believes in Echinacea. She says for the last several years she has taken Echinacea at the first hint of a cold, and she hasn't developed a single cold in all that time. I told her that if that was valid evidence that it worked, I had just as valid evidence that it didn't. For the last several years I have been careful not to take Echinacea at the first hint of a cold, and I haven't had a single cold in all that time either. So I could claim that not taking Echinacea is an effective cold preventive! I thought my "evidence" cancelled out hers; she said we would just have to agree to disagree.
A recent study looked at the effect of belief on response to Echinacea and dummy pills. "Placebo Effects and the Common Cold: A Randomized Controlled Trial" was published by Barrett et al. in the Annals of Family Medicine. (more…)

Visions of spring
April 2, 2014 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Long about now I figure what my readers need most for their ongoing winter woes is a curative dose of spring fancy. And darn it, if the weather won't cooperate to let our baseball and softball players loose on the diamond, our golfers afoot on the greens, our tennis players angling their shots on the court and our runners, jumpers and throwers evincing their speed, strength and agility in track and field, the least I can do is entice us all with pictures of what we hope to soon see. Thus this week find here a pictorial preview. No this is not a team-by-team preview, nor some harebrained prediction of who will win what. I eschew such, believing strongly that such prognostications aren't worth the space they're printed in. So for this week, let's just dream a little and hope that sooner rather than later, our dreams of bucolic spring days become a reality. Each spring sport has an iconic picture to represent it and a quote worthy of its unique allure. Enjoy.

Police dog, trained in narcotics detection, dies
Detective Mark Phelps and Riggs, of the Chester Police Department, appear in a photo at Chester-Andover Elementary School. PROVIDED PHOTO
CHESTER The Chester Police Department bade farewell to their one and only police dog last week.
Detective Mark Phelps said that Riggs, the departments faithful German shepherd, died peacefully July 22. He was 13 years old.
Riggs was the towns first K-9 unit and lived a long life and retired one year before he died. Phelps, who was also Riggs handler, said the dog was named after Los Angeles Police Department narcotics officer Martin Riggs played by actor Mel Gibson in the series of Lethal Weapon movies.
According to Phelps, Riggs was brought on specifically for narcotics detection and to visit children at local schools. Phelps trained with Riggs at the Vermont Police Academy, saying he performed well in the field and always enjoyed visiting students.
He was really motivated for doing drug searches. But when you took him into a classroom, you could let him go and hed walk around with kids they would pet and play with him, Phelps said.
Riggs joined the Chester Police Department in 2002.
Ludlow police used Riggs for searching suspicious vehicles and local buildings. Ludlow Police Chief Jeffrey Billings said Riggs was useful in all situations and played a role in preventing crime in Ludlow.
He could get into spots where we couldnt and find the stuff we needed. I dont think you could put a dollar amount on (Riggs) value, Billings said.
One of Riggs major accomplishments was searching a suspicious vehicle years ago in Proctorsville. According to Phelps, Riggs detected $55,000 in cash, large amounts of cocaine and illicit drugs and it was a major bust in the Black River Valley.
Chester police do not intend to replace Riggs, Phelps said. Vermont State Police in Rockingham and the state Department of Motor Vehicles now have K-9 units, while Springfield and Brattleboro Police Departments have new police dogs in training.
Phelps said Riggs was cremated and his family will spread some of his ashes in their backyard where they often went snowshoeing.
Well spread some of them up there and well keep some of them as well, Phelps said.
A lot of patrol dogs are a little more aggressive but we specifically wanted a social dog because its a small community and we wanted him to engage with the community. He was laid back and mellow. But when it was time to go to work, Riggs flipped on the switch and he was ready.

Goldman Beats On Continued Debt Market Strength
- Second-quarter EPS of $3.70, beating the consensus estimate of an adjusted $2.89 a share, according to Bloomberg.
- Excluding items, first-quarter net income was $1.93 billion, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.48 billion.
- Net revenue came in at $8.61 billion, surpassing estimate of $7.97 billion.
- Return on equity (ROE) was 10.5%, dropping from first-quarter ROE of 12.4%.
Updated from 7:57 a.m ET with analyst comments and afternoon share prices.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Goldman Sachs
Goldman's earnings were buoyed by record debt underwriting revenue and strong year-over-year growth across its trading, investment banking and private equity businesses.
The bank's debt underwriting unit reported record quarterly revenue of $695 million, significantly beating estimates. Those earnings helped to drive flat investment banking revenue from the first quarter of 2013.
The bulk of Goldman's earnings beat is attributable to better than forecast revenue of $1.42 billion from its Investing & Lending unit, driven by rising marks to the bank's private equity investments and its portfolio of securities.
"The beat was primarily driven by investment gains in the Investing & Lending division, a lower than expected tax rate and a slight beat on
For the quarter, Goldman reported a profit of $1.93 billion, on revenue of $8.61 billion, beating adjusted estimates of $1.48 billion and $7.97 billion, respectively.
Adjusted earnings per share of $3.70 beat an estimate of $2.89 a share, according to analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg.
"The firm's performance was solid especially in the context of mixed economic sentiment during the quarter," Lloyd C. Blankfein, Goldman CEO, said in a statement.
After initially trading nearly 2% higher in pre-market trading Goldman Sachs's shares were falling about 1.85% to $159.99, at 1:25 p.m, ET.
Some may be disappointed with Goldman's earnings.
Analysts had expected stronger performance from Goldman's equity underwriting and investment management businesses, as corporations use rising equity markets to sell shares and investors move their money back into stock markets.
Goldman's equity underwriting unit, however, saw revenue decline 5% to $371 million in the second quarter, missing estimates. The bank's GSAM investment management unit, meanwhile, posted flat revenue from year-ago levels at $1.33 billion. Goldman's $1.85 billion in equity trading revenue did beat estimates, according to Bloomberg data.
Goldman's trading earnings also compared favorably to year-ago levels and defied fears of a large sequential drop from first quarter levels..
"They missed the big hit that everybody kind of feared they would have on the spike in interest rates," Marty Mosby, a banking analyst with Guggenheim Securites , said in a telephone interview.

"Regionalism in Iran's Foreign Policy"
Op-Ed, Iran Review
February 8, 2010
Author: Kayhan Barzegar, Former Associate, Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program, 20102011; Former Research Fellow, Project on Managing the Atom/international Security Program, 20072010
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
What role does "regionalism" have in Iran's foreign policy strategy? The prevailing view inside Iran asserts that due to different power and political structures, as well as cultural and social differences between Iran and regional countries, especially the Arab Middle East, it is either very difficult or of little benefit for Iran to focus on regionalism as a foreign policy strategy. While accepting such arguments, I maintain that a corollary of such a perspective is passivity in Iran's foreign policy and a weakening of its regional and international standing. The Middle East of the postSeptember 11 and Iraqi crises, is transforming into a new political and security order in which all regional players are trying to establish their "new roles." In order to institutionalize its regional role, and increase its strategic significance in the relations with great powers, Iran needs to expand cooperation, interactions, and building coalitions with states in the region.
Tilting the scales in favor of a regionalist approach in Iran's foreign policy will not only be beneficial, but is key to realizing Iran's national and security interests. Such a strategy, however, should be based on creating a "balance" in the various geographic-geopolitical, historical-civilizational, and political-security approaches of Iran's foreign policy. It should also be centered on establishing relations with various geographical regions and political-security and economic sub-systems. This argument has important policy-making implications for Iran. During the past decades, inattentiveness to regionalism in foreign policy has dealt irreparable blows to Iran's security and national interests. The most prominent examples are the empowerment of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the loss of economic, political and security opportunities in the region, and new security challenges posed by the presence of foreign powers, especially the United States, across Iran's national boundaries. In contrast, focusing on regionalism and expanding interactions with nations and states in the form of economic, political and security coalitions will provide Iran with opportunities to play its economic and political role in the region, prevent further threats, and increase Iran's bargaining power in the relations with the great powers.
Critical Viewpoints on Regionalism
Critics of such a regional focus in Iran maintain that the structure of power, politics and culture in Iran is such that they render any focus on regionalism in the country's foreign policy practically useless. These viewpoints can be summarized as follows: First, one perspective tends to agree on the impossibility of making any coalition with regional countries. This viewpoint maintains that the structure of power and politics in Iran and the ideological nature of the Iranian government, which gives priority to supporting Muslims and liberation movements, on the one hand, and the power structure in the Arab world, on the other hand, dash any hope of coalition-building and advanced cooperation in the region, especially with Arab countries.

Last night, Phillies traded catcher Ronny Paulino to the Giants for left-handed relief pitcher Jack Taschner.
Last December, the Phillies had traded catching prospect Jason Jaramillo to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Ronny Paulino, who they hoped would be able to challenge, if not win, the second catcher job from fan favorite Chris Coste. Sadly, for Paulino, his spring training average would show otherwise as he batted only .194 (6 for 31) in thirteen Grapefruit League games with only two doubles and a home run while striking out twelve times. Although Coste didn't do any better with his at-bats, the Phillies have decided to go with the known quantity instead of the unknown and had put Paulino out as trade bait several days ago. Last night they got a nibble as the Giants had traded to them left-handed relief pitcher Jack Taschner for Paulino.
Although Taschner is having just as bad a spring pitching for the Giants in the Cactus League (6.23 ERA in eight and two-thirds inning), the Phils thinks that he is the man that they need for their bullpen right now. While pitching for the Giants last year, Taschner went 3-2 with a 4.88 ERA in fourty-eight innings as he appeared in 67 games. Career-wise, in four seasons in the big leagues, all with the Giants, Taschner has a career record of 8-4 with a 5.01 ERA in 140 innings as he pitched in 178 games, all in relief.
With the trade, the Phillies now have two left-handers coming out of the bullpen as they wait for J.C. Romero's return from his soon to be served 50 games suspension. The trade may also have an influence on the battle for the final spot in the starting rotation, as its more than likely now that the left-hander J.A. Happ will either be declared the winner of the battle, over right-hander Chan Ho Park, or he will be sent down to the Lehigh Valley Triple-A team and will be the first pitcher to be called up if any of the members of the starting rotation is either injured or have a melt down. Only time will tell.
My thoughts on the trade? I think it's a good strategic move on the Phillies' part. The Phils have moved someone who they saw during spring training couldn't cut it while getting in return a temporary, veteran, second left-handed arm to go along with their left-handed relief specialist Scott Eyre while they wait for J.C. Romero to come back from his enforced exile, thus preventing the kind of situations with Eyre like had just happened to him this past Thursday against the Yankees. Hopefully, Traschner will be good enough during that 50 games period that he makes it hard for the Phils to let him go when that happens. I would just love to see what the Phils will do if that happens.🙂

There seems to be such a shortage of quality catchers that maybe some of these kids in high school and college should concentrate on catching. There appears to be money to be made there!
Hhhmmmm, and here I'd thought that it was quality pitching that was lacking. Well, while it is a good suggestion, the question is, would those high school and college players be concentrating on their defense and pitch calling or on their batting? I think the first two are more important, if Carlos Ruiz is a good example. If the player can also hit, like Johnny Bench did in his day, then its a plus.

Sidebar 122 won't be on the sidelines for long.
The historic Downtown building that once served as a brothel and speakeasy — complete with an underground tunnel to the statehouse — is now home to expertly crafted cocktails and Chilean-inspired eats. After an admittedly bumpy start, Sidebar 122 is poised to come to prominence in the Columbus dining scene with a strong bar staff and Chef Alberto Tapia at the helm.
"Right now we are really hitting our stride," General Manager Justin Kintz said on a recent Monday. "Now that the ball is rolling, things are really looking up."
According to Kintz, the focus is on the quality and consistency of service, rather than gimmicks. House-made bar mixers, precision-poured libations and artfully executed tapas from Tapia exemplify the level of care put into every detail of the overall experience.
"We've had a few hiccups, as with any business," Kintz said. "But now I really think we have the right people in place. We have the best bar staff in the city. I have never worked with a staff that is more passionate about what they do. They bring the whole concept to life."
Each room in the four-story building offers a specific ambiance, allowing patrons of Sidebar 122 to dictate their personal experience.
The main bar and dining area offer a sophisticated aesthetic with an intimate atmosphere, ideal for dates and happy hour meetings. The basement, which once housed an actual speakeasy, is a dimly lit cavern with a small stage that plays host to the Volstead Comedy Show on Thursday nights. To the back of the basement bar is a defunct tunnel that, according to Kintz, once served as a discrete entrance for Ohio statesmen. The second and third floors serve as event spaces and are characterized by a row of fireplaces. The thin walls that separated each hearth when the space was a brothel are gone, leaving the space open and welcoming.
Though the history of the building might bring you by, Kintz believes the staff will bring you back.
"Each floor has its own story. The unique history here is alive and we are lucky to have that available to us, but it isn't all we are. We also offer impeccable service and expertly prepared food. That is what is going to keep us around after the 'speakeasy fad' wears off," he said. "We are adaptable. We are the real thing. We aren't faking it."

Who Is Chris Brogan and Why Should You Get His eBook?
It is absolutely amazing what you can find on the Internet these days.
What is even more amazing is the way Twitter has really become a tremendous source for finding exactly what you are looking for when you need it.
My 2 year old has her days and night mixed up lately. If any of you know what that means then you can sympathize.
While sitting up with her just past midnight I was cruising Twitter and came across this one particular Tweet that really caught my eye.
It said said something about 4500 site visits and a free ebook. I thought, what the heck. I'm up anyway. I'll check it out.
That link brought me to Chris Brogan's website where there was a link to a free ebook.
I have to be honest, I didn't know who Chris Brogan was. I was following him because someone I trusted had him on their follow list.
As I had briefly touch upon in my last post, you are a reflection of the people in your immediate circle so I was trusting that my Twitter Pal had people worth following on her list too.
I made an assumption about Chris based on content I had seen him tweet about and through a Twitter friend. That assumption was 150% correct!
In between singing Itsy-Bitsy Spider and Patty Cake, I downloaded Chris's free ebook. As I started to skim through it I realized right away that this wasn't just another one of the million other free ebooks that I would skim through and send to to my trash bin.
The ebook itself is only 15 pages long including the cover. It is called Personal Branding for the Business Professional in a PDF format and contains everything from strategy advice to some considerations to over 100 tactics and ideas on what to do next regarding personal branding.
What is amazing is that Chris has no sign up. No opt in box to capture your info and send you a thousand emails trying to get you to buy something. The book is just FREE…no strings attached.
I will tell you though, you will want to subscribe to Chris's feed without a doubt.
Much of what Chris wrote was so simple yet it really hit home. Branding yourself with integrity and with what is essentially your own best reflection was well stated in very few words!
Adding valuable content, developing the KLT Factor, authenticity and the issues of being the same, yet different, were all masterfully explained in short, yet sweet paragraphs.
So, who the heck is this guy anyway? I went back to Chris's About Me page and dicovered that this passing name and face that I had seen Tweep across my screen was truly a master in his field. Take a minute to read about Chris and then make a point to subscribe to his newsletter and his feed.
Whether you are in Social Marketing, Internet Marketing or your just a Mom doing a Blog, take the time to read this free ebook and it will change the way you see yourself.
I'll be redoing some things in the morning so come back and take a look at how I implement some of tips I picked up from just 15 pages of great content!
Did you get the Book yet?
To Creating Your Best Reflection…

One word classifications never fit like a glove. Like the US being a pure "capitalist" country. Sure, technically China doesn't abide by some static, pure definition of communism, but they have a standing one party Communist political party...who runs the government....and controls the entire economy.
And that, at the end of the day, is why pro athletes will never want to be there and china bball wont ever truly prosper like it would in western Europe/USA.
That they don't strictly live up to utopic Marxism ideals is besides the point.

Eggs provide structure and volume and can bind ingredients together.
Use large eggs in recipes for baked goods unless another size is specified.
Use clean, fresh eggs with no cracks for baking. Fresh eggs will have yolks that are firm and rounded and whites that are thick and clear.
Eggs should be stored in the refrigerator to preserve their freshness and quality and to prevent the growth of bacteria.
When separating eggs, wash your hands and the shells before you begin.
Egg whites can be frozen in a freezer container for later use. Thaw them before using.
Fat-free and cholesterol-free egg products are available in the supermarket refrigerator and freezer cases. They are made using egg whites and food starch. Egg products can replace whole eggs in many recipes. Use 1/4 cup thawed egg product for each egg called for in the recipe. Do not substitute egg products for eggs in cream puffs or popovers because they won't puff or pop.

My DS is 3.5 weeks old and nurses constantly. The longest he will go in-between nursing sessions is 1.5hrs but that usually only happens once at night otherwise we are having a full nursing session roughly every 45 minutes day and night often times much, much more often (like within 5 minutes of pulling off the breast). This has been going on for about 2+weeks, he was a real sleepy baby that first week. I'm going batty right now not having got more then 45 minutes of sleep at a time for more then 2 weeks and having a 23 month old who desperately wants some attention too.
How long does this last? It wasn't like this with my first DS. Also this baby isn't really gaining weight. He was 8lbs8oz at birth went down to 7lbs5oz in the hospital and at 2.5 weeks he was 8lbs11oz (but had a majorly full diaper as we were walking out of the doctor's office, so I'm guessing he was probably more like back to birth weight after the diaper).
He is cluster feeding like they do for a growth spurt but doesn't that usually only last for 2-3 days, not 2-3 weeks.
I'm taking domperidone, I did have supply issues with #1 (worked long and hard with the LC at the hospital and tried everything she suggested, herbs, extra pumping, breast shells for constant pressure, ect). But even that doesn't seem to be helping much.
Help, where do I go from here? I want to nurse my baby but I don't know if he is getting what he needs. I needed a little personal space/time so DH gave him a little formula the other night and he didn't like the bottles at all.

Last week, "American Idol" revealed the 10 contestants who would spend the summer representing "Idol" on the road. Of course, by that point, one -- and only one -- of those 10 singers will have snatched the crown.
As America voters prepare to weed through nine more hopefuls, here's a look at the Class of 2012, in no particular order, starting with the 5 remaining guys.
Phillip Phillips | Joshua Ledet | Heejun Han | Colton Dixon | Deandre Brackensick | Hollie Cavanagh | Skylar Laine | Jessica Sanchez | Elise Testone | Erika Van Pelt
Phillip Phillips
Age: 21
Hometown: Leesburg, Ga.
The pros: He's a good-looking kid with a platinum smile whose earthy style is sure to win the vote of any "Idol" fan who ever cared about Dave Matthews or Ray LaMontagne. Plus, he plays guitar, which makes him seem more like an "artist" to a certain type of viewer. J.Lo said, "There is no doubt that you're one of the most special talents that we found this year on the road."
The cons: Some viewers may mistake his soulful rasp for growling, and we saw how well that worked for last year's most musicianly contestant, Casey Abrams.
Most memorable performance: At his audition, Phillips growled his way with soul through Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" a cappella while throwing his entire body into the performance, inspiring J.Lo to say, "It's like you have electricity going through your body or something." Then, he came back and did it again on Top 13 night with a stage full of backing musicians supplying some actual electricity -- and horns! -- in a raucous arrangement that made the most of Wonder's funk groove. Imagine if Abrams had looked more like a young Matthew McConaughey and ask yourself if he could win it all.
Signability: He's got the perfect looks and image for the kind of thing he does, so yes, he's very signable. (EM)
Joshua Ledet
Age: 19
Hometown: Westlake, La.
The pros: He's got the look and voice to lead an old-school soul revival, with just enough gospel in the mix to feel like testifying without coming off as a church singer. This is what soul used to sound like. Hell, it's why they called it soul. Ledet is what that Jacob Lusk guy was supposed to be last year -- without the attitude.
The cons: He has none.
Most memorable performance: He's had so many, from the gospel-flavored show of force that was "You Pulled Me Through" to a surprisingly gritty rendition of the Stevie Wonder hit "I Wish." But what he did to Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman" should have been enough to justify this show's existence to the non-believer. It was that good. Jennifer Lopez proclaimed it "the best thing I've ever seen on 'American Idol.'" All three judges stood up halfway through, when he removed his dinner jacket after soaring through the key change, in total control of the moment. Even the gestures he did with his hands were flawless. If watching that performance doesn't give you chills, no music ever will.
Signability: He'd work best on an indie label, where he wouldn't have to lose that gospel edge that makes him matter in the first place. (EM)
Heejun Han
Age: 22
Hometown: Queens, N.Y.
The pros: He's a quirky good time and can actually sing.
The cons: He may have trouble winning over guys like Jimmy Iovine, who cautioned, "This isn't 'American Comedian'; this is "American Idol." Plus, his taste in music doesn't match his personality. If he had to do a Michael Bolton song, he should have gone with that "Jack Sparrow" song.
Most memorable performance: I know I just made fun of him for this, but Bolton's "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" was shockingly soulful at Heejun's audition. A few weird notes were not enough to dull the impact.
Signability: See Iovine's remark. He does work at a label. (EM)
Colton Dixon
Age: 20
Hometown: Murfreesboro, Tenn.
The pros: The kid can clearly sing and looks like he could help a lot of young girls through the fact that Fall Out Boy broke up.
The cons: The fauxhawk had a certain charm at first, but since he added color, it's pretty ridiculous. Also? Pretty questionable taste in music.
Most memorable performance: There's no reason Colton Dixon should be singing Stevie Wonder. As Iovine put it, "This is not his wheelhouse." But Dixon reminded America than emo is short for "emotional" with a vulnerable reading of "Lately" that ended on a sweet falsetto note.
Signability: A few tweaks and he'd look like he stepped off the cover of Alternative Press, so that's a headstart on most other "Idol" hopefuls. (EM)
Deandre Brackensick
Age: 17
Hometown: San Jose, Calif.
The pros: That sweet falsetto of his is a beautiful thing.
The cons: A guy can only look so much like he showed up to try out for "Milli Vanilli: The Next Generation" before he's made himself the butt of way too many jokes to have an honest chance of winning. He's also the youngest, most vulnerable guy on the show.
Most Memorable performance: The kid was born to sing "This Woman's Work," a Kate Bush song he clearly learned from Maxwell. That falsetto found its perfect match the night he sang that song.
Signability:He'd need a haircut and a vocal coach, but he could definitely have a future. (EM)
Hollie Cavanagh
Age: 18
Hometown: McKinney, Tex.
The pros: Cavanagh tried out in 2011 and didn't make the cut before returning this season. The time away did her well: She has gained seasoning and polish and appears more comfortable on stage.
The cons: At this point, she isn't terribly distinctive. Well, there is that utterly curious Texas-by-way-of-Liverpool accent, but other than that, she's kind of a blank slate.
Most memorable performance: Her persistence came to the forefront when she sang "Reflection," Christina Aguilera's power ballad from "Mulan." Cavanagh was genuinely plugged into the song and made a strong impression at the time when she needed it most.
Signability: The girl can obviously sing. With a little more screen time and a chance to showcase her personality, she could be the dark horse in this race. (RC)
Skylar Laine
Age: 18
Hometown: Brandon, Miss.
The pros: She's got a vibe that blends country and rock, though the emphasis is obviously on the former part of the equation. Her twang makes her stand out this season, and history has shown that a good country singer can go far on "Idol."
The cons: So far, she hasn't shown much diversity. Maybe a ballad some time? A show tune, perhaps?
Most memorable performance: The Faces' "Stay With Me" moved her out of the country songbook and showed how forceful she can be with music that doesn't originate from Nashville. It was sassy, surprising and totally commanding.
Signability: A hunting enthusiast who calls her grandparents "Paa-paw" and "Maa-Maw," the Mississippi woman has got the right stuff to appeal to the Southern states, which tend to be mighty powerful when it comes to "Idol" voting. See: Kelly, Ruben, Fantasia, Carrie, Taylor, Kris and Scotty. (RC)
Jessica Sanchez
Age: 16
Hometown: San Diego, Calif.
The pros: She's 16, photogenic and offers something that feels unique this season. She has a big, belting voice that sounds instantly commercial, especially when she connects with the right material. And the girl is a trouper: One week she was sick but still managed to offer a stratospheric "Love You I Do."
The cons: Her feet are too big? She bites her nails? Honestly, at this point the only thing you could pin on her is she may be a bit Stepford: In other words, a little too perfect.
Most memorable performance: Despite her youth, she was able to handle something as resolutely middle-aged as "The Prayer" and make it feel relevant. That's quite a trick.
Signability: Even if she doesn't win, you know we haven't seen the last of this girl. (RC)
Elise Testone
Age: 28
Hometown: Mount Pleasant, S.C.
The pros: At 28, she is the oldest woman in the competition. Age is definitely an asset here, as she brings a maturity and polish that might be lacking among some of the younger contestants.
The cons: Are the teens who vote going to push through a woman who seems like their hip aunt?
Most memorable performance: Once President Obama covers a line or two of a song, you know it's reached the over-saturation point. Such is the case with Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," but somehow Testone managed to make the song her own. She started out sweet and sultry before gaining energy on the choruses.
Signability: Adele has shown that there is room for smart, soulful singers, though Testone almost seems like she'd fit in better in the smooth-jazz arena. (RC)
Erika Van Pelt
Age: 26
Hometown: South Kingstown, R.I.
The pros: The wedding singer has a nice, bluesy tone to her voice. Though she's capable of hitting the big notes, she's not afraid to be subtle. On a show like this, subtlety can make you stand out.
The cons: At this point, she is noticeably lacking in the charisma department. And in a season that initially seemed heavy with blonde girls, she tends to get lost in the mix.
Most memorable performance: During a goose-bumpy version of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," she achieved the neat of feat of being vulnerable yet showcasing her strong technical ability.
Signability: She seems to be mining the same playing field that Testone is, and Testone may be doing it better. (RC)

text: My name is Robert Jenkins, I am a native if the amazing racing capital of the world, "Indianapolis, IN." I am 32 and I have always been a fan of Smoke aka Tony Stewart and of the Rushville Rocket aka Ryan. Newman. I have also followed Danica Patrick Career since her start in IRL and her biggest winat the Twin Rings was definitely impressive. I am a motorsports fanatic. My passion lies with NASCAR, Formula 1, IRL, DTM, WRC, just to name a few. If you have any questions just ask and I will say I am sorry to see Smoke out for the rest of the season but I have faith in the drivers that will be taking over for the remainder of the season and also want to say how PROUD I am to see Ryan Newman Winn g the Brickyard 400. I remembers when Smoke won his first Brickyard and was hoping for Newman to be right behind him and I love the fact that two Indiana natives are team mates and would love to see something happen for them to remain team mates for next year and to try and dominate the tracks. Next we have to get Danica her first Brickyard win. Well that's all for now but I really hope that SHR has a great remainder of their season.

Diverging trends in female old-age mortality: A reappraisal
|Date received:
|16 Mar 2009
|Date published:
|15 Dec 2009
|Word count:
|convergence, divergences, health transition, mortality, smoking
Over the second half of the 20th century a number of divergences and convergences of mortality schedules were observed across the world. Some of these developments remain incompletely understood. In recent overviews of old-age female mortality Mesle and Vallin (2006, Population and Development Review) and Rau, Soroko, Jasilionis, and Vaupel (2008, Population and Development Review) describe two contrasting patterns of mortality change between the mid-1980s and the end of the 20th century: a pattern of a large decrease in mortality exhibited by France and Japan and a pattern of a smaller decrease, stability or a certain increase in mortality shown by Denmark, the United States and the Netherlands. No satisfactory explanation of this phenomenon has been proposed so far. This paper shows that the divergence is, to a very significant extent, due to the differential impact of smoking related mortality on female populations of France and Japan versus Denmark, the United States and the Netherlands. The end to the diverging trends is demonstrated. Other lifestyle factors potentially implicated in the divergence are also discussed.

Sandy Carter: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) -- Off the Record
From archive: January 2008 X
Happy SOA New Year!
Happy SOA New Year!!! Another fun SOA case study ! What is SOA? The most common analogy used to describe SOA is that of building blocks. Imagine standing side-by-side a toy car, and one built using Lego® blocks. The toy car represents a traditional IT application, and the one built of blocks represents an assembled application using SOA services. Both have the same basic function, but the car built of blocks can be easily modified – or even re-assembled into something completely different such as a toy airplane. An SOA Example: HousingMaps.com A good example of a composite SOA-driven application is HousingMaps.com. This consumer facing web application takes information from Craigslist about houses for rent or for sale and merges it with location data from Google Maps. The result for users is a location-based view of all the properties for rent or sale within a specific geography. Users can click on any spot in the map to see the detailed property listing from Craigslist. The application works because both Craigslist and Google chose to expose portions of their applications as services using standard protocols. If their respective applications were completely self-contained in the model of traditional IT applications, then the only way to achieve HousingMaps functionality would be to write an entirely new application from scratch![Read More]

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Refrigerators have long been thought of as the boxy, boring behemoths of the kitchen, and buying one used to be as simple as choosing between eggshell and off-white. But times have changed, with manufacturers increasingly thinking outside of the icebox to try to redefine what the modern refrigerator is really capable of. Today's shopper will find an ever-increasing range of color and style options, cleverly-designed units designed to disappear into your decor, and a wide variety of new smart features, including ones aimed at transforming your kitchen itself into an entertainment hub. It's enough to make you wonder if the ol' fridge might be going through a bit of an identity crisis.
This reinvention of the refrigerator comes with a daunting new reality: finding the perfect model for your needs and budget is no easy task. Fortunately, you've come to the right place -- a handy overview designed to help you narrow down the countless options and come out confident that the refrigerator you're buying will give you the most bang for your buck.
In the end, finding the right fridge is all about understanding your own needs and asking the right questions, so let's get started with:
What type of refrigerator is best for me?
Style-wise, you've got four options to choose from, and each comes with its own pros and cons. Figuring out which one is best for you is the first, most obvious step towards making a final buying decision.
Top freezer
When I say the word "fridge," chances are good that this is the style that pops into your head. With the bottom two thirds dedicated to fresh-food storage and the freezer unit sitting on top, most of us probably struggled to reach the Popsicles in a top freezer unit when we were kids, or we at least used one in our first apartment. Tastes have moved forward since then, so if you're looking for something modern, high-end, and feature-rich, then a top-freezer model probably isn't for you. If, however, style isn't as much of a concern, then you'll find that top freezers offer some of the best bargains on the market. Plus, there are still enough being made to offer a solid variety of choices.
Price: $479-$2,199
Average dimensions: Width: 29 inches; Depth: 31 inches; Depth with door open 90 degrees: 58 inches; Height: 66 inches
Best suited for: Bargain shoppers who aren't looking for anything too flashy.
Bottom freezer
If you're looking for something on the simpler side, and would enjoy slightly easier access to your fresh foods, then a bottom-freezer unit might be right for you. Bottom-freezer units aren't much different from top-freezer units except for the fact that the freezer is located -- you guessed it -- on the bottom. This means that you won't have to hunch over while rooting around for commonly used ingredients. However, it also means that frozen foods will be located down around your ankles -- though a majority of models now come with drawer-style freezer doors, which can make getting the ice cream out a little easier. Bottom freezer units tend to be just slightly bigger than top freezers, but there's also less variety of models to choose from.
Price: $999-$1,899
Average dimensions: Width: 29 inches; Depth: 32 inches; Depth with door open 90 degrees: 59 inches; Height: 67 inches
Best suited for: Home cooks who don't mind bending over to get into the freezer.
Side-by-side units split your fridge right down the middle, offering you frozen foods on the left and fresh foods on the right. Some models offer equal real estate for both sections while others allocate an extra couple of inches for the fridge. This can make for an especially narrow freezer section, so frozen-pizza aficionados might want to consider something a little less limiting. Side-by-side units come in a wide variety of models and tend to showcase more features than their horizontally minded counterparts. Many of these features are aimed at saving space, especially when it comes to the shelving inside the doors. Side-by-side units also require much less clearance to open the doors, making them ideal for narrow kitchens. Due to the vertical split, you'll probably want to go with the widest model that will fit into your kitchen, and your budget.
Price: $1,149-$3,099
Average dimensions: Width: 35 inches; Depth: 30 inches; Depth with door open 90 degrees: 45 inches; Height: 71 inches
Best suited for: Space-conscious consumers looking for a feature-rich fridge.
French door
Highly popular, French-door models combine the drawer-style freezer of a bottom-freezer unit with the low-clearance doors of a side-by-side unit. This means that you'll have a full-width, double-door fridge with plenty of storage space. With your refrigerator door effectively split into two, it also means that you won't be letting as much cold air out when you're opening just one door to grab the milk. Some models come with two separate freezer drawers, with the top one located about waist-high. This will keep you from bending down quite as far as you would with a bottom freezer. With the high demand for French door refrigerators, you're sure to find a huge variety of options, including models with top-of-the-line smart features you won't find with other styles. You can also upgrade the look of your fridge to match your kitchen or even camouflage itself entirely among your cabinets, but be aware that you'll likely be tacking a few thousand dollars onto the already steep price tag.
Price: $1,599-$3,999 ($4,500-$8,000 for a built-in cabinetry appearance)
Average dimensions: Width: 35 inches; Depth: 29 inches; Depth with door open 90 degrees: 48 inches; Height: 68 inches
Best suited for: Fashionable chefs who want easy access to fresh storage and the most advanced features available.
Selecting the style that's right for your kitchen is half the battle, and should give you a much clearer idea of what you want from your new refrigerator. But don't run off to the department store just yet, because you still have some very important questions to ask yourself, including:

Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G review: An awesome prime that doesn't cost the earthBy Paul Carroll - Monday January 21 2013 Lens Review
Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G: The best 85mm prime on a NikonD3x?
Achieving an Overall DxOMark Score of 35 the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G prime lens is the best 85mm lens we've tested on the Nikon D3x DSLR. Scoring 17P-Mpix for sharpness, which is above the average of 15 P-Mpix on our database for 85mm primes, with a good 1.9TStop Transmission score and virtually no distortion, optically this is a very good lens. At just 4um Chromatic Aberration is well controlled too, although the weakest aspect of the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G is vignetting, which is strong when shooting at the maximum aperture of f/1.8.
That DxOMark Lens Metric Score for Sharpness of 17P-Mpix places the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G 3rd out of the 14 85mm prime lenses on our database (Full Frame mount for Canon, Nikon and Sony camera). This is just behind the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G with a score of 19 P-Mpix and the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM for Canon also with 17 P-Mpix.
As you'd hope from a prime lens the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G delivers excellent sharpness at all aperture settings up to f/11 with only a minimal dip in performance at its minimum aperture setting of f/16. Importantly sharpness is also homogeneous across the frame, which means photographers can expect great edge-to-edge sharpness at all aperture settings from f/1.8 to f/16.
One of the weaker aspects of the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G lens however is corner shading, or vignetting, when shooting at wider aperture settings. Between f/4 to f/16 it's well controlled but stopped down to f/2.8 the undesired effect starts to become visible and at the maximum aperture of f/1.8 it's positively heavy.
Further readings for the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G review: An awesome prime that doesn't cost the earth
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Announced in February 2012 the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f/1.8 is a 'fast' telephoto prime for the Micro Four Thirds Lens mount. With an equivalent 150mm focal length it's a good option for portraiture or sports and the wide f/1.8 maximum aperture is great for low light, too. Costing $899 it's an expensive option for serious amateurs or professionals alike, so if it's a lens you're considering read on to make sure it delivers the results you desire.

Nikon 85mm f/1,8G halo / axial cromatic aberration

This a comment for this page on the website

The Nikon 85mm f/1,8G is a good lens for portraits.
However, the halo (or axial croma) is really strong, creating magenta fringe in high contrast area. I get also the green fringe in artificial light in contrast bokeh-area, and this can't be corrected easily with CS6 or NX2. Therefor I don't like to use it outdoors. I don't see you mentioning anything about this feature in your review. Strange (unless there is something wrong with the particular lens that I have), since this is more difficult problem than vignetting.
AF is also rather slow, not for capturing fast-moving children.
I noticed this weaknes in the shop, therefor had no unpleasent surprises after unboxing it home.

I have similar problems with the lens, it has real issues in terms of abberation, and corrections in photoshop cannot resolve the problem completely.

Re: Nikon 85mm f/1,8G halo / axial cromatic aberration
I have bought the lens, together with the Nikon D5300 and the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8. I am dissapointed with both lens when compared to the Sigma 60mm F2.8 for my Sony a6000 which is stellar sharp and has really low CA.
Why is the Nikon 85mm F1.8 one of the best lenses in the world (according to Dxomark) - no idea.

A value of 4 µm Chromatic Aberrations for the lens I find to be too low, the amount of CA is huge.

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — Junior running back Erick Hatchett and junior wide receiver Jarrett Byers scored three touchdowns apiece and Northeastern State ran away to a 42-7 victory over Eastern New Mexico University on Thursday in a Lone Star Conference crossover football game.
The Redmen (1-1), winners in only five games over John Horner's first three seasons as coach, led 42-0 before the Greyhounds got on the board with 12 minutes left on quarterback Michael Benton's 2-yard run.
Northeastern State dominated the game, outgaining ENMU 498-237. The Redmen had 249 yards rushing and 249 through the air, with quarterback Joe Hogan going 12-for-16 for 228 yards.
Benton finished with 20 carries for 157 yards for the Hounds, but went just 2-of-22 through the air for 44 yards with two interceptions.
Hatchett capped a 33-yard drive with a 2-yard run late in the first quarter, then finished off a 12-play, 82-yard march early in the second period by diving over from a yard out.
Following the kickoff, Benton had runs of 15 and 7 yards, and a five-yard facemask penalty on the latter gave ENMU a first down at the Northeastern.
Three plays lost a total of three yards, however, and Benton's fourth-down quick kick went out of bounds at the Northeastern 19. On the next play, Hogan found Byers for an 81-yard scoring play and a 21-0 lead.
Two possessions later, Xavier Clanton's interception gave Northeastern possession at its own 35 and Hogan and Byers again hooked up on the next play, a touchdown pass covering 65 yards with a minute left in the half.
Hatchett added a 13-yard TD run and Byers caught a 21-yard scoring pass from backup QB Willie Cole in the third period to complete Northeastern's scoring.
Hatchett finished with 163 yards rushing on 19 carries, while Byers caught eight passes for 215 yards.
