The success of your business is heavily dependent on marketing.
The lack of marketing could lead to the demise of it. I've saved several business owners on the brink of failure by teaching them inexpensive ways to market a business on a shoestring budget. So, as you can see, there is no excuse to be sitting on your morals waiting on "customers" to come. The good news is that you can create a marketing strategy with little or no marketing budget. Here are 5 Big Marketing Tips to help you on your way.
Big Marketing Tip 1: Spread the word about your business DAILY! It is imperative that you make contact with people on a consistent basis. For instance, you might conduct ten telemarketing calls each Monday and Wednesday, speak at a local civic, professional or social group meeting on Tuesday and Thursdays, and manage your social networks at various times during the week. The point is getting the word out about your company could pay off in the long run with lucrative referrals.
Big Marketing Tip 2: For business owners, blogging can be an incredibly beneficial tool. Doing so can increase your brand awareness, allow other websites to link up, attract new visitors and potential clients which can generate leads, build authority and so much more.
Big Marketing Tip 3: Mobile marketing is a sizzling trend that small businesses can't afford not to include in their marketing strategy. A recent survey revealed that over 56 percent of mobile users access the internet with their devices. A marketing campaign such as "text to sell" which allows an opt in for potential customers can be easy to implement. It involves building your text marketing subscribers list. By doing so, allows you to engage them regularly with tips, resources, polls, and coupon codes. This helps build credibility and strengthens you as an expert.
Big Marketing Tip 4: If you only market when you need clients, your business will be stuck in a feast-or-famine cycle. Set up a system channels to market consistently so that you're always out there. Set aside a time to market your business daily, even if it's an hour a day. If you feel too overwhelmed, narrow your focus to 2-3 channels at a time. Consistent effort will help you to build a foundation under your marketing platform.
Big Marketing Tip 5: Create high level and high energy relationships. People talk about networking all the time. It is not about networking exactly. It is about creating relationships where your colleagues, customers, and competition have a clear understanding of your value and are willing to not only refer you to others but facilitate an introduction, go with you to the meeting and fully support and advocate for your services. When your network is full of connections like this your business cannot help but thrive.

This book was very funny and Ithought it was a fun idea for all of those silly questions you do think of but don't always know the answer too. The first one is worth it but the second one isn't as worth it as the first. The second one copies a lot of stuff from the first book. It's almost as if they ran out of steam or info on it.

Reading Sensation Critically
€ 58,99
Sofort lieferbar
August 2008
BeschreibungLady Audley's Secret (1862) was the work most
responsible for securing Mary Elizabeth Braddon's
position among the defining sensation novelists of
the Victorian period. Her name continues to remain
inextricably linked with her first best seller. This
study, however, offers a provocative new reading of
Braddon's fiction by focusing on the ways in which
she labored in the 1860s and 1870s to transmute the
sensation genre that initiated her career into a
literary form worthy of critical recognition.
This book offers close readings of seven of
Braddon's novels serialized in Belgravia between 1866
and 1875 that fail to conform to the pattern of
sensation fiction. An analysis of Braddon's fiction,
its critical reception, and letters to her mentor Sir
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, highlight her efforts to escape
the negative associations of the sensation label that
defined her as a writer in the Victorian period and
that often continues to serve as a reductive index of
her fiction.
This study provides scholars and students with a
fuller sense of Braddon as a professional writer who
worked to redefine the sensation genre as both
artistic and instructive.

Wood Pellet Boiler at CAI on Pleasant Street, Saving Green on Heat - Littleton NH
Cartographic Associates Incorporated (CAI) of Littleton is enjoying significant cost savings due to their newly installed wood pellet boiler, started up in October.
This boiler was installed to heat office spaces of the CAI building at 11 Pleasant Street in Littleton. The project included conversion of the entire building from hot air distribution to new hot water baseboard heat. The pellet boiler serves as the primary heat source for the building, with an oil-fired boiler for backup. The new pellet boiler is installed in the basement of the building along with an eight-ton wood pellet storage bin. The pellets are delivered in bulk and blown pneumatically from the truck, through a 4" hose, and into the bin in the basement. An automatic auger and vacuum system then transports the pellets from the bin to the boiler before being burned. The installation was done by Biomass Commodities Corporation of Williamstown, MA along with local builder Wayne Krauss, plumbing/ mechanical by Charlie Zuk, and electrical by Norris Davis.
It is anticipated that the new pellet system will displace over 3200 gallons of heating oil consumption with about 25 tons of wood pellets annually. This will avoid 36 tons of oil bound carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with clean renewable wood pellet fuel. Bulk wood pellets are available locally from manufacturers in southern New Hampshire and Maine. At least three companies deliver to the area ensuring that CAI and other consumers have several options for sourcing their fuel deliveries.
The CAI pellet boiler project was paid in part by a NH Public Utilities Commission's Renewable Energy Grant. The grant funding came from the PUC's Renewable Energy Fund (REF), which is funded by alternative compliance payments (ACPs) made by electricity suppliers in order to comply with the State's Renewable Portfolio Standard law. For anyone considering wood pellets or employing other renewable energy technologies, this program's funding has increased for FY2013 with $2,792,630 being allocated for future renewable energy projects. These funds are competitively awarded through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process expected to be announced in early 2013. Biomass Commodities Corporation is currently seeking interested businesses and public entities to coordinate and apply for project funding.
About Biomass Commodities Corporation Biomass Commodities (BCC) is a renewable energy company that offers a complete solution for wood pellet heating. BCC is a value-added distributor and installer of modern wood pellet fired heating systems that provide simple, safe and efficient building heat. BCC provides pellet boiler installations and services throughout the Northeastern United States. Common applications are in centralized heating plants, buildings 10,000 sq. ft. or more including schools, manufacturing facilities, assisted living complexes, hospitals and residences.

A strange phenomenon caused by eating corn. The poop that follows the eating, even a small amount, of corn. This poop mysteriously contains visable pieces of whole kernel corn. One of life's great mysteries.
We had corn-on-the-cob for the 4th of July, the next morning I saw kernels of corn in my shit!
"Wow! Cornpoop!"
"Wow! Cornpoop!"
by Charles_U_Farley July 10, 2009
When someone eats strictly corn for 3 days straight the body will eventually be flushed out and on the 3rd day after eating corn the body will shit only whole corn kernels.

Local woman shares weight loss success story in national magazine
GRAY, Tenn. - Pick up June's edition of Health Magazine and you'll see how people nationwide are learning about the weight loss success story of a woman from Gray.
Cindy Kern opens up the magazine and reads, "The key to Cindy Kern's 118-pound weight loss success: a treadmill, a diet detox and believing in herself."
In 2007, at her heaviest, Kern weighed 265 pounds. She got ill when she was pregnant, and knew something needed to change. "I saw some pictures of myself and thought, 'Oh my goodness.' I was too young to be sick and to have to rely upon other people," she says.
Just as the magazine says, it took a treadmill, a diet, and a positive attitude. Within a year, the weight fell off, as she started looking at food as fuel instead of a treat. "What kept me going were the results," she says.
Her boyfriend encouraged her to contact Health Magazine, but she never thought they'd call back. They did, and a few interviews and a fitness photoshoot later, everyone can read her story.
A story of intense diet and exercise, with a little indulgence every now and then. "I don't deprive myself because I am not going to go through life and not have the things I want to," she says.
Kern took News 5 to the grocery store to show us that it's possible to indulge in healthy options. "Greek yogurt is in the diet every day, sometimes more than once a day," she says.
We also headed over to the vegetables, another staple of her diet. "Kale is a superfood. It's packed full of Vitamin K, lots of nutrients, it's really good to make salads and smoothies," she says.
Her advice to anyone choosing to eat healthy: head to the outer edges of the store for fresh foods - not the processed foods in the middle.
And for those who want to lose weight, she says, "It all starts in your head, you've got to have it right. You have your mindset in the right place."
She also advises to set goals, be disciplined, and make small changes every day.

As the Prime Minister comes under friendly fire from Tory backbenchers, the political wisdom is that he needs cover from his steady Foreign Secretary, William Hague.
Will a reshuffle see Hague back as chairman of the party in time for the next election, or even as Chancellor George Osborne's replacement? Enthroned in the splendour of the Foreign Office, the still boyish-looking political veteran is chilly about a potential move.
"I've always been clear I came back into frontline politics to do foreign policy and that's what I'm here doing," he says. "When I was leader of the party there were always polls showing I was the least popular. Since I took no notice of these things I've become more popular. So I propose to go on taking no notice whatsoever."
Two years ago, William Hague was reported to be lacking mojo in his role as Foreign Secretary, but he now displays the confidence and ease of his beloved Victorians. He hints that he will be around for "many years" before taking up his pen again as a historian.
He sounds a little lofty about domestic politics, preferring to dwell on Britain's powerful new role in the world. Under his tenure, new embassies are opening across Africa, China, India and Latin America.
"This is part of the expansion of British presence in the world," he says.
Will this be viewed in places such as Africa as a form of colonialism?
"Some of an older generation will think of Britain in colonial terms," he muses. "But that is a small minority of the population there. This is a new and equal partnership. It's a world where networks defeat hierarchies and where the world is not in blocks. It is the networked world and Britain is a natural centre.
"Eighty per cent of foreign-born executives said London is the place that is most open to business. We are a European nation and we are firm allies of the United States. But more than any of that, we are a natural centre in a global network."
Does a global network require a hub airport which can cope? What is his view of the third runway proposal at Heathrow, or of an estuary airport?
He replies firmly that the Government's election promise to reject a third runway holds true, but adds: "I think for the long term the answer is probably more radical and there are fundamental problems to continuing to develop and expand Heathrow."
The Foreign Secretary, 51, believes that the Olympics should be the launchpad for Britain's global expansion and should also mark the end of our post-empire apologetic relations.
"I think we should just relax. It's a long time ago, the retreat from empire. You know the Winds of Change speech (in which Harold Macmillan acknowledged the yearning for independence in the colonies) was in 1960 before I was born and I'm the Foreign Secretary. It's a different generation. Britain is seen in a different light.
"We have to get out of this post-colonial guilt. Be confident in ourselves. The lessons we should take from the admitted need for austerity, saving money, is that we actually need to be more ambitious, not less."
The admiration for an enlightened UK is not universal. Hague had just come out of a meeting with the vice-president of Ecuador, who has accused Britain of colonial treatment of its London embassy guest, Julian Assange.
The Foreign Office, which first suggested tough measures against the founder of WikiLeaks, according to his supporters, is now demonstrating an oriental patience.
Did he ever plan to storm the embassy? He replies: "There's never been a plan to storm the embassy. I can't see every situation that could arise, but we are not making a threat against the Ecuadorean embassy."
Hague sighs that there is " no meeting of minds" between the UK and Ecuador and that the stand-off "could go on for a long time".
Instead of gunboat diplomacy, we now settle for hospitality fatigue.
"We remain under a legal obligation to arrest him and to extradite him to Sweden," he says.
Asked which country worries him most, he answers unhesitatingly — Syria. After our meeting, he is flying to New York to discuss the refugee problem.
"Britain has played a big role in the humanitarian situation. We are the second largest national donor into the funds for helping refugees."
Hague has also gone further than other allies in supporting links with the Syrian opposition. Does the forthcoming US election mean that President Obama has taken his eye off the ball?
Reports abound that Israel, fearful of Syrian weapons and Iranian intentions, will use the dead months before the election to launch a strike against Iran.
"What we want to avoid with Iran is nuclear proliferation," says Hague, in his calm, Yorkshire sing-song cadences. "We have made clear to Israel that that does not mean, in our view, attacking Iran while we are engaged in negotiations."
Is Israel on side?
"Well, yes, so far. They will make their own decisions but our opinion has been made very clear. We believe in sanctions and negotiations, we are not advocating a military strike."
Could Israel go it alone on a strike?
"You will have to ask them," he says, which is not exactly a "no". "The things to concentrate on are intensifying the sanctions and being open to negotiations."
Does he see any resolution to Syria?
"At the moment I don't see a diplomatic or political solution, so I think the situation is going to get worse."
Has he seen any evidence of chemical weapons in Syria being ready to use?
"Some of the refugees I met in Jordan a few weeks ago described what appeared to be the use of poisonous weapons at a local level, but we haven't got any corroboration of that."
If we do not intervene in Syria, won't President Assad win? Hague is faced with a troublesome, possibly apocalyptic scenario but he has an optimism that the will of the population will prevail.
"I don't think that the Assad regime is able to re-establish control over Syria," he says. "I think that so much blood has been spilled, so many people have been killed, so many parts of the country were burnt. They can't return to how they were, however many crimes they commit."
He believes that the Arab Spring set in train freedoms which will make it harder for all authoritarian governments. Even Russia, which has resisted any western intervention in Syria, has been rattled by disturbances over the jailing of the Pussy Riot women.
Has western support for the band members made President Putin more difficult to negotiate with?
"I don't think that in itself makes it harder. We should not be shy of criticising Russia on human rights. We do criticise them."
What does he think is the significance of the case? "It would be a brave man who knows how Russian politics and society will develop over the coming years. But I think, in general, we will see in this networked world increasing pressure for freedom of people to be able to express their views, to criticise government.
"We've seen that in the Arab Spring. I think we will see more and more of that in other parts of the world, including Russia. Russians will have to decide how they respond to that."
While Hague's new embassies are opening in the emerging economies of China, India and Brazil, he is firm that " the world still relies a lot on American leadership".
"For the United Kingdom, it is the indispensable relationship," he says.
David Cameron has been eager to display his friendship with President Obama, but he has been criticised by some Conservatives for a more distant position towards the Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
Has the Government underestimated Romney, and might it regret it?
"We don't underestimate anybody," he says firmly. "We had some very good meetings with him here in July. Of course we are in close touch with both sides of American politics."
He has no fear of a change in the presidency, saying: "You don't have to be president for many days to realise that the United Kingdom is absolutely indispensable to them as well."
William Hague is trusted as an unsentimental Yorkshireman, but he is proudest of his human rights record. He sensibly resists comparisons to his hero, and the subject of his biography, William Wilberforce, but his Disability Discrimination Act in 1995 provided a road map for the Paralympics. "I'm not claiming credit for creating the Paralympics but it was part of the changing attitude and culture towards disabled people," he says.
"It wasn't a matter of making concessions. We were going to think about it in a different way."
The Foreign Secretary may have the problems of the world pressing down on his serene and shiny head, but his immediate concern is the plan by his wife Ffion to abseil down the Shard on Monday with Prince Andrew, for the Outward Bound charity. He notes wryly that he has not been consulted about it and that it is not an event you can train for.
Is Prince Andrew a help or a hindrance to the Foreign Office?
"I see all the royal family as good ambassadors and I have a lot of respect for him as well as my wife," he says, with all the diplomacy he has learned in his job.
When he finally does retire from the Cabinet, the biographer of Pitt and Wilberforce says he will write more books, but not, he says, his memoirs.
"One day, when I've finished with politics, I will write books again. But this may be some distance away. But I doubt that it would be an autobiography, it would be more biography. I'm not very interested in writing about myself so I think I would write more books about 18th-century figures."
Any in particular?
"I'm not announcing that now," he says, adding resolutely: "It's many years away."Reuse content

The goals of a beta test will vary greatly depending on your product and situation. Here are some of the major goals beta can achieve.
One great thing about beta testing is that it lets product developers quickly and inexpensively tackle a wide variety of goals that can dramatically improve their products. Quality is often the primary goal of beta testing, but there are many additional objectives that a beta program can address.
Beta testing provides the unique opportunity to ensure that as a final step prior to release, all of the product components (including quality, feature/functionality, installation, documentation/training, support, delivery, and more) perform as expected, ultimately providing the intended total customer experience.
For new products, products introducing substantial new functionality, or products aimed at a small defined audience, beta offers the ability to achieve legitimate customer acceptance, ensuring the product meets the requirements of its audience. Similarly, in the MVP (minimum viable product) context, beta can help establish the minimum feature set for a lean launch.
While it's ultimately the product designer's job to develop a strategic roadmap, the process is rarely done in a vacuum. Beta testing offers a significant source of early inspiration from the product's target audience. While it's likely too late to implement most of the suggestions gathered in a beta test, this pool of information offers insight that can be leveraged when looking ahead to future revisions of the product.
Beta testing is not constrained to only the product being developed. Beta testing offers product developers the ability to incorporate competing products in an effort to determine customer sentiment including feature/functionality, quality, and performance.
QA can't run tests with every platform, peripheral, or product that might interact with yours, which results in hidden defects. Beta testing helps cover those gaps by providing real-world usage in an incredible variety of environments and scenarios. It's also very common for beta testers to discover a number of show-stopping bugs that QA was unable to discover for other reasons.
Many products perform great in the lab, but fail to achieve the same level of performance "in the wild". Beta testing offers a much-needed predictive benchmark for real-world performance of both clients and servers. This is especially true for products that are heavily affected by the Internet and load such as web sites and games.
Beta tests often focus a portion of tester efforts on ensuring that previously encountered issues have been addressed to their satisfaction, forming a complete "feedback loop" for issues. Beta tests that introduce new features (some of which may have been suggested by testers) seek to determine acceptance of these features.
Many products, especially those which exist in a network environment, are impossible to fully simulate in a test lab environment. Beta testing gives you the opportunity to test your product in thousands of different environments and scenarios to analyze how it's measuring up.
Compatibility testing is one of the most common beta objectives, focusing a real-world audience on testing the product with adjacent products and technologies that will influence its performance and uncover issues.
In addition to providing real environments, beta testing gives you insight into unscripted usage patterns for your product. Beta participants will provide detailed feedback about usability challenges they encounter, allowing you to either make immediate changes or prepare your support team to assist customers in these scenarios.
Beta testing is commonly used to evaluate and identify issues related to the new user experience (onboarding, installation, out of the box, etc.) of highly targeted customers.
Focusing beta tests on documentation allows product developers to ensure real-world comprehension of these materials, improving the total customer experience of the product.
Beta testing can be used to trial and improve the customer support process associated with any product.
Enabling testers to write reviews of the product in a private setting can provide valuable predictions of real-world customer satisfaction, demonstrating sentiment that will later be shared publicly on sites like Amazon, Google Play, or the iOS App Store.
Beta participants are the first customers who possess real experience with your product. This presents the opportunity to collect valuable testimonials for your marketing and PR teams. With high-cost or B2B products, you can also use beta participants as customer references, so the sales team can hit the ground running.
Providing early access to a product or service is an effective way to gain an audience of enthusiastic users who are more than willing to spread the word about you.
Public betas are now common in the release strategies for web applications, entertainment products, games, and more. The goal is to build viral, widespread awareness (and vast amounts of feedback) by offering an early (and free) version of the product, with the understanding that issues are still being worked out and expectations should be a bit lower than with a released product.

"How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?"
― Cormac McCarthy, No Country For Old Men
My first contact with this work of fiction was listening to a 'Partially Examined Life' podcast with 3 young philosophers and Eric Petrie, a university professor who has made a study of Cormac McCarthy's dark novel set in Texas in 1980. This fascinating discussion motivated me not only to read the book but listen to the audiobook read by Tom Stechschulte. I'm glad I did. Stechschute's reading is spot-on, particularly his portrayal of one of the main characters, a good old boy by the name of Sherriff Bell.
Since there are many reviews posted, in the spirit of freshness, I'd like to share a few reflections of a philosophical nature. My observations are in light of what contemporary British philosopher Simon May has to say about the nature of love. According to May, love isn't what philosophers like Plato say it is, that is, love being a longing for the Good and Beautiful; rather, May argues love has a wider range: we fall in love inspired by an anchoring for our life, an anchoring giving us a home in the world. Such a love is worth dying for, since we want so much to be rooted in the world with a feeling of being fully alive.
So, keeping Simon May's idea of love in mind, let's take a look at McCarthy's novel. An entire essay could be written for each main character, but, in the interest of concision, I'll limit my remarks to a few sentences on each man's way of living and loving:
Llewelyn Moss is a 37 year old welder who served as a army sniper in Viet Nam. Moss is out in the desert with his sniper rifle hunting game when he sees something unusual off in the distance--- a bunch of cars and trucks appearing to have been abandoned. He walks down to have a closer look and finds the aftermath of a drug deal gone bad - men and even dogs filled with bullets and covered with blood. Moss then comes across a briefcase filled with $100 bills. He takes the money and knows this is the moment his life will be changed forever. Why would he do such a thing? I see one big reason Moss would take the money: by so doing he will be skyrocketed into a world where the intensity of being alive is a thousand times greater than being a welder. Having had an experience of life-and-death intensity in Viet Nam, Moss knows the feeling well.
Anton Chigurh, also a Viet Nam veteran, is the man from the drug world who comes after Moss. As we follow Chigurh in the story, it quickly becomes clear he sees himself as a grim-reaper -- anybody who stands before him, if he so chooses, has come face-to-face with their own death. Well, not exactly his choice alone. Chigurh will occasionally flip a coin and ask the person to call it. If anybody shows the least hesitation to face their own choices in life or the reality of their own death, then, well, by Chigurh's standards, they might as well be dead. We would have to go a long way to find a character in literature, perhaps Richard III, who is equally the embodiment of pure evil. Love? Chigurh loves death; he is a true necrophilia, and he shares his love whenever the occasion presents itself. In the course of this McCarthy novel, Chigurh kills men and women left and right.
Sheriff Bell is a World War II veteran who sees his county losing its moral glue. And moral glue anchors Sherriff Bell's life and gives him a home in the world. He reflects toward the end of the story, "These old people I talk to, if you could of told em that there would be people on the streets of our Texas towns with green hair and bones in their noses speakin a language they couldnt even understand, well, they just flat out wouldnt of believed you. But what if you'd of told em it was their own grandchildren?" We also learn what especially anchors Bell's life (what Bell loves) is a prime military virtue: loyalty to your men. And Bell tells his old uncle about the major regret of his life -- when a Sergeant in the war he faced a choice: stick with his men or save his own life. Since at one point in a battle the overwhelming odds were that all of his men were dead, he made the choice to save himself by leaving. Bell says he has been reflecting on this event over the years and concludes he violated the code of loyalty. He goes on to say that if he had to do it over again, he would have died with his men rather than leaving.
These observations about the nature of love are made as a kind of invitation to read McCarthy's novel and see where you stand philosophically. Is love only love for the Beautiful and Good, or can love have, as Simon May puts forth (and illustrated by the respective objects of love of these 3 men), a more expansive and darker range?
American novelist Cormac McCarthy - Born 1933
WOWZA! Great book, not so great film.
I read this book in one evening - rare for me these days - just before I went to see the movie. A quick moving, spare book that read like a movie, so no surprise it was made into one.
Loved the movie and the book. The writer comes across as socially concerned in a subtle way, how things have gone downhill since drug cartels have become so murderous. Seeing the movie first didn't spoil it for me.
I read the book after having seen the movie. The movie deviates from the book somewhat; as usual, the book is better.
The story line: a man finds a couple of cars and bodies - the apparent aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong. He also finds a bag with $2.4 million, which he appropriates. The local sheriff learns of the killings, and finds that neither the money nor the drugs are in any of the cars. The sheriff figures out who has the money. So, too, does Chigur, a hitman who maybe enjoys his work too much. So the race is on - both Chigur and the sheriff are looking for the man and the money, and it is a question of who gets to him first.
The story is told in McCarthy's inimitable sparse prose style which - after having read all of his books - I find to be one of the most effective literary styles going. At least, in terms of the type of books he tends to write. Nasty, brutish and short - a Hobbesian storyteller. No extraneous details, no fluff, nothing fancy. No attempt to convince the reader that the author has a prodigious command of the English language.
For all of his efforts to keep to the point, however, McCarthy does not ignore his characters and their motivations. These are real people - a man who realizes that one impulsive act has made him a target, regardless of what he does; a sheriff who sees his life as making restitution for what he believes was a cowardly act; a psychopath who places no value on life, not even his own.
McCarthy can leave you stunned with his brutality, but in the end, you admire the way he does it.
All that keeps No Country for Old Men from being a deftly executed but meretricious thriller is the presence, increasingly confused and ineffectual as the novel proceeds, of the sheriff of Comanche County, one of the "old men" alluded to in the title.
"No Country for Old Men" is an unholy mess of a novel, which one could speculate will be a bitter disappointment to many of those eager fans. It is an unwieldy klutz that pretends to be beach reading while dressed in the garments of serious literature (not that those are necessarily mutually exclusive concepts). It is a thriller that is barely thrilling and a tepid effort to reclaim some of the focus and possibly the audience of McCarthy's most reader-friendly novel, "All the Pretty Horses." Worst of all, it reads like a story you wished Elmore Leonard had written -- or rather, in this case, rewritten.
Mr. McCarthy turns the elaborate cat-and-mouse game played by Moss and Chigurh and Bell into harrowing, propulsive drama, cutting from one frightening, violent set piece to another with cinematic economy and precision. In fact, ''No Country for Old Men'' would easily translate to the big screen so long as Bell's tedious, long-winded monologues were left on the cutting room floor -- a move that would also have made this a considerably more persuasive novel.
In the literary world the appearance of a new Cormac McCarthy novel is a cause for celebration. It has been seven years since his Cities of the Plain, and McCarthy has made the wait worthwhile. With a title that makes a statement about Texas itself, McCarthy offers up a vision of awful power and waning glory, like a tale told by a hermit emerging from the desert, a biblical Western from a cactus-pricked Ancient Mariner.
Cormac McCarthy's ''No Country for Old Men'' is as bracing a variation on these noir orthodoxies as any fan of the genre could expect, although his admirers may not be sure at first about quite how to take the book, which doesn't bend its genre or transcend it but determinedly straightens it back out.

Stumbling upon a bloody massacre, a cache of heroin, and more than two million in cash during a hunting trip, Llewelyn Moss removes the money, a decision that draws him and his young wife into the middle of a violent confrontation.

After filling up on free samples, though, I decided to buy a portion of the cooking demonstration's creation of gnocchi in boletus mushroom sauce.

Active shooting incidents on pace to rise again in 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Our newsfeed is filled again today with details of another deadly shooting. This time, at a high school near Portland, Oregon.
This follows a spate of deadly shootings in the past few weeks ? two on or near college campuses and one at a courthouse. DecodeDC thought now would be a good time to check back in with the researchers the FBI trusts to track the nation's active shooting incidents.
The FBI defines an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area." These kinds of incidents have been on the rise in recent years.
Active shootings are tracked by a still relatively new specialized team at the FBI, which sprang up after the school shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. On the one-year anniversary of that attack, Scripps landed an exclusive interview with the special agent who heads that team. At the time, the FBI said that by the end of 2013 active shooting incidents had already tripled compared to previous years.
So how is 2014 shaping up? Unfortunately, not so well, according to the most up-to-date stats kept by academic researchers at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas ? that's where the FBI looks to stay on top of the trends.
Their numbers show an average of 5 incidents per year from 2000 to 2008. But by 2011 the incidents had more than doubled, with eleven active shooters trying to murder others that year. In 2012, the number of active shooting events went up again to fifteen. 2013 had sixteen incidents. In 2014, Dr. Pete Blair from Texas State has already logged 9 of these gruesome incidents in the tally, and we're not even half way into June.
That puts the nation on pace to top last year's already sizable count and end up with 20 active shooting events by the end of this calendar year.
In tracking active shooter incidents, the FBI counts any incident where someone shows up on scene with the full intent to kill as many people as possible, even if they don't succeed in wounding anyone.
In the FBI's view, studying what works and what doesn't in responding to someone who very much wants to kill is important because it helps them develop new methods to try and save lives in future incidents.
Now, there is a fairly active debate in criminology circles about these sorts of statistics. Some very respected researchers prefer to study something called "mass shootings," which differ from "active shootings" because three or more people actually have to get shot for the incident to be counted.
Sadly, our June check-in on the numbers appears to show that both the FBI and the nation's researchers will once again have plenty to choose from when looking for shooters to study by year's end.
Scripps has compiled the most comprehensive list ever put together of active shootings events, as defined by the FBI, and we've just updated the only interactive and searchable tool around which lets you look for trends yourself closer to where you live.

✖Meeting your Twin✖
She showed me her brother. . .
I smiled as I walked to school, recalling the Saturday before. I usually hated Mondays, but now, I couldn't wait to get to school. I felt a urge to see Lily, and fast!
I grinned to myself, earning a few weird looks, but I didn't care, I smiled even more as I walked into the classroom.
When I saw the scene; I froze. Lily was sitting in her usual place, next to me, but who was sitting in my seat? No one ever went near my seat. Let alone sit in it!
'Vlad! Vlad!' Lily's sing-song voice chimed as she spotted me walking into the classroom. I looked up, trying not to blush as I walked over to our desk.
'Um, hi Lily.' I smiled, she beamed back and tugged on the arm of the boy who was sitting in my seat, he turned around and I felt my eyebrows shoot up. He looked just like Lily, only with shorter hair, they were identical, right down to the last freckle!
'Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Lily's twin brother, Lucas.' He said in a voice that was also much alike to Lily's. He stuck out a hand and I stared at it.
'Vlad doesn't really know how to make friends, Lucas.' Lily smiled, patting my shoulder. I blushed again, my heart thumping like crazy.
Ever since our date-- NO! It wasn't a date! She was just taking me out to make me happy! That was all! Anyway, every since our day out, I've been feeling weird, and whenever I think of Lily, my stomach tightens and I feel like my chest is going to burst with the speed of my heart.
Her hand was still on my shoulders and, I was probably mistaken, but I think I saw Lucas glare at me, like he didn't want me to be near Lily. I was in a little bit of shock. But surely, that couldn't be right, could it? I mean, it's not like he's in love with her own sister or anything. That'd just be really weird.
But, sure enough, while Lily babbled on about how glad she was that Lucas was feeling better, Lucas stared at me with every ounce of hatred he had. If this kept up, I think I'd have to mush Lily's hand off my shoulder.
But, oh no, I didn't get to go that because Lucas threw himself at Lily, hugging her. I staggered back in shock and the whole class went silent.
'Lily!!! I'm soooooo glad I could come to school with you!' He cried, hugging her tighter, 'I always wanted to meet the people you talked about! This is going to be sooooo much fun!' He turned to me, 'isn't it, Vladamir?'
I looked at him in shock. This guy really doesn't like me, does he?
'Well, Lily, I'm kind of scared about this, so hang I play with you and Vlad?' He smiled, looking like a child.
'Yay! Sure!' Lily beamed, nodding her head, 'Vlad is very nice and he's my friend, he can be yours too!' I blushed at her comment, but didn't miss the loathsome look Lucas shot at me
'Yup! I wont let you two have a minute alone together! We'll be great friends!' Lucas said in a giddy voice.
I think Lily was the only one in the room who didn't get the true meaning behind the words that had just tumbled from Lucas' lips. I tried not to scowl, so I grinned back at Lucas like I didn't care, and nodded.
He glared at me, then grinned back, but I saw traces of malice in that grin. I don't think he and I were going to be friends any time soon.
'Yeah! You can spent every minute of every day with Vlad and me, Lucas! I wont let you be lonely!'
I was practially weeping inside, this boy just had to come along when the mood between Lily and I was getting good!
I think my happy little bubble called life just popped

The Old Cape Cod features three upstairs bedrooms and one downstairs. There are seven beds in total. The entire home, from the foundation up through the roof was faithfully renovated in 2013. The backyard is large and provides plenty of room for children, BBQs, a pet, or just just relaxing with friends. There is a large cedar outdoor shower and cedar deck. And best of all you are steps from the pristine waters of Orient Harbor, across the street from the Oysterponds Historical Society, and a one minute walk to the absolutely wonderful Orient General Store. Golfing, fishing, sailing, swimming, visiting wineries or museums, or just relaxing in peace and quiet - the Old Cape Cod is a great home base.
We enjoyed a wonderful week in Orient NY. Everything we could want or wish for was provided and then some. This is a very comfortable house in a lovely little village, near the water. The yard is a good size, surrounded by some beautiful flowers, a large tree with a swing, outdoor table and BBQ. Indoors was somehow a combination of a trip down memory lane with all the modern amenities, clean and bright too. The owner was available by text and responsive to all our needs. Thank you Michael!
My husband and I immersed ourselves in this lovely historic home and town. Lots of pretty
rooms and places for privacy in the home. The accommodations were wonderful with modern baths
and even 2 zone central a/c. The furnishings were right out of a design magazine with a mix
of modern comfy and antique fun...all quite liveable. Kitchen was old fashioned with
a table and chairs that looked out to front street and to pretty back yard that our
little dog loved. Walked the streets loaded with restored historic homes daily, went to
museum, and got companionship and goodies at country store daily where Dinah
and Miriam became delightful friends. Excellent lunches! Water everywhere and farms
picture book perfect. Owner, Mike Ventura was kind and made sure everything was
was taken care of for us. He is just the best! We will be back...again and again, I hope.
The house and property are really beautiful, just a couple of houses from the water, and the neighborhood is charming. The landlord is on top of everything, and easy to deal with. No frustration or waiting. Couldn't be better. I couldn't recommend this property more highly. We hope to go back!
This property is a beautiful home in an excellent location right in the village. The house is decorated very tastefully with a nod towards the history of Orient which we enjoyed reading about in the many coffee table books around the lounge. Our large party included our 3 children, one set of grandparents, our niece and our dog - it accommodated us all perfectly. The bedroom on the main floor was very handy for grandparents. There's so much to do in the area e.g. sightseeing, visiting the wineries (Konta Kosta was a favourite), shopping in the local stores and of course enjoying the beaches. I would highly recommend this property and am hoping to visit again soon. The owner was very pleasant to deal with and answered all of our numerous questions in a very timely manner. 10 out of 10.
This property is right in the middle of the village. We walked around and didn't use our car once. The house is super charming and was much bigger than we thought it would be. Only drawback was no dishwasher - but we used the BBQ most nights which made it a non-issue, Highly recommend this historic gem. Perhaps best of all, they allowed us to bring our dog!
Had a pre-Christmas family get together in Orient. The Old Cape Cod was perfect & we had the greatest weather imaginable. Three couple were very comfortable. We loved the charm of the house: exposed beams, decor & nice bathrooms. We enjoyed bike rides, beach walks, trips to the Country Store (100 yds away), wine tours, fishing & even a outdoor barbecue in December. The owner was very nice & easy to deal with. This home is a treasure that made our experience special.

Virtual reconstruction and representation of historical environments and objects have been of research interest for nearly two decades. Physically based and historically accurate illumination allows archaeologists and historians to authentically visualise a past environment to deduce new knowledge. This report reviews the current state of illuminating cultural heritage sites and objects using computer graphics for scientific, preservation and research purposes. We present the most noteworthy and up-to-date examples of reconstructions employing appropriate illumination models in object and image space, and in the visual perception domain. Finally, we also discuss the difficulties in rendering, documentation, validation and identify probable research challenges for the future. The report is aimed for researchers new to cultural heritage reconstruction who wish to learn about methods to illuminate the past.

Chaldean Nuns Stabbed to Death in Iraq
According to the Associated Press, two sisters, both Chaldean Catholic nuns, were stabbed to death in their Kirkuk home.

Group Petitions the Vatican to Stop Speeding Priest
Antonio Rodrigues' alleged need for speed has resulted in the Portuguese
Association of Motorist Citizens' asking the Vatican to formally tell the
priest to "resist the temptations of speed," reported Reuters.
Father Rodrigues, who winds his 150-horsepower Ford Fiesta 2000 ST through Portugal's streets at 130 mph, told the Portguese daily Correio de Manha, "I am no speed freak. I have a car that I like, but I drive with prudence."
Utilitarianism's Torch Bearer To Address Polish Catholics
Princeton professor Peter Singer, one of the world's foremost proponents of euthanasia and infanticide, will be a guest at the seventh annual gathering of Catholic associations and organizations in Gniezno, Poland, the Australian website CathNews reported.
"We invited Singer not so that he could propagate his views, but so that we may engage him in public discussion," Marcin Przeciszewski, spokesman for the Polish Catholic Information Agency, said.
According to Polish moral theologian Father Pawel Bortkiewicz, "Singer is the icon of the dark night in bioethics. … While I am angered by his views, I would willingly discuss them with him."
Singer will take part in a discussion entitled "Bioethics: Opportunities and Threats."

Dr. Sternthal operated on my upper jaw back September 1976. I had a condition called hyperlasia which meant that I had too much jaw and he had to surgery removed abut 1/2" of my jaw. This was a very big procedure Before I had the surgery my gums were exposed and my upper lip did not cover my gums I met with the doctor to discuss the procedure and he explained everything to me step by step what he was going to do. I was extremely nervous but he calmed me do and now 34 years later I have a beautiful smile on my face. Yes, I would definitely recommend this oral surgeon.
I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time by Dr. Sternthal. He was very calm and reassuring. I told him how nervous I was, and he had me place my finger on his arm and told me to tap him if I felt any pain. My mouth was completely anesthetised, and I didn't feel any pain whatsoever. I remember enjoying the view of the mountain through the office windows as the procedure was being performed! Since then, I have recommended him to two friends of mine who needed their wisdom teeth out. They also had good experiences with Dr. Sternthal.
I would recommend this doctor to anyone! I went there this morning for the first time and if ever need be, I would not be stressed about going back! I have always been extremely nervous about going to the dentist; getting a wisdom tooth and a molar extracted with stitches and the whole works was to me a nightmare. I went in there shaking like a leaf on a tree. But he was so nice and so reassuring that I started to relax. Before I knew it (let's say after about 5 minutes), it was done. I could not believe it! I didn't feel a thing! The staff at the clinic is great as well. His assistant is wonderful! I have a new-found trust/appreciation for dentists/dental surgeons now!!

I rather believe the searches are unconstitutional.

I am not in law Enforcement and didn't stay at a motel last night.
In watching the Mass governor advise people to let the police search the entire town without a warrant had me wondering. Can exigent circumstances exist for the entire town? If you allow the search the rules of in plain sight would apply? Questionable weapon on a bench in your reloading room or 30 round mags sitting on a table. You get the idea.
How far can exigent circumstance go for an entire town?
The supreme court had an interesting decision on the fourth and I wonder how this would go.
Looking forward to opinions.
I rather believe the searches are unconstitutional.
He can ask. The people can tell him to pound dirt.
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
Well... I was a police officer. Exigent circumstance exists in this situation. IMO. There is a real, and imminent danger in allowing this perp to run around free. As long as this guy is free he's going to kill people. He's already proven it.
I don't think the police had much of a choice. Two crazies with guns and bombs and no qualms about killing innocent people. Those facts don't leave a lot of room for too many options.
I would have my domicile locked down like fort knox and not be answering my doors for anyone if I were there. If this trogladyte was in my house he would be a carcass and the cops would not need to search.
Thing is, Cops are generally good people, and right now the least of their worries is a 30 round mag in your house. It wouldn't hold up in court anyways.
My metal band: Born under Sirius
Glock 23, mic holster, clipdraw, abdominal carry.
Problem as I see it Fausty is that I don't know what the officers procedural requirements might be. That 30 rd mag is gonna cost me my arm and my leg should the officer decide to write it down in his report. Even being generally good people doesn't mean that his sup or other higher ups won't review his report later. I would, just as you, lock down and not answer my doors.
I've never been a great fan of 'exigency' either. Smacks of totalitarianism if abused.
Hope they get him alive. Sure would be nice to follow-up who's controlling him.

Although that brings up an even scarier thought. What are their procedures right now if they knock and get no response?
Suppose you and your dog are in your basement with the idiot tube on or something and don't immediately hear them knocking. Then lets say, they don't get a response and decide to let themselves in to check for said terrorist anyway. Then your dog finally wakes up and notices someone isn't supposed to be there...
This kind of thing has all kinds of ways to go bad.
Exigent circumstances require a credible belief that some law is being broken and that preservation of evidence, or some other mitigating factor must be noted. Such circumstances cannot exist for an entire town/neighborhood. You cannot believe that one perpetrator is in every house in a given area, and claim exigent circumstances.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...
Alabama Constitution of 1901 - That every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.
Thank you all for the response I want the guy caught I just have a bad feeling about no warrant search under Exigent circumstance.
I live very close to a Federal prison and they have a little area for less violent inmates that have very little supervision. We get a walk away about once or twice a year and I wondered if they could force a search.
We don't have anything to hide but you never know what they are looking for or an obscure law you may be breaking.
I find it amusing that people want him "taken alive". Do you really think law enforcement is going to tell us anything about the interrogation? Best case scenario is they feed us a line of polically correct bs to placate us, then use him to go after bigger fish. Oh and I absolutely would not comply with an illegal search like the one happening right now in Boston.
How ironic that once they lifted the "don't go outside" ban...... It took a civilian to find the fugitive.......

He's the deal. Unless they are waving a warrant in your face, you have the right to tell them to go pound sand.
From that point on, it's simply a matter of how bad do they want in, and what amount of force you would like to use in order to repel their entry.
Do you want to use physical or deadly force to keep them out if they are willing to go to that level? Or do you want to let them do their thing, and deal with it in court later on down the road?
One thing is for sure. If you give them permission to do the search, then it you can't claim the unconstitutionality of the search as it was not done by force.
I can tell you that in these kinds of high risk, high threat, dragnets that before they start doing the door-to-doors, the troops are frequently briefed by a prosecutor (or some other high ranking official) and are reminded to stay focused and they are not interested in any ancillary or minor offences which may be encountered during the search. They aren't there for low impact minor B.S and to just find the subject they are looking for.
Now, what does that mean? Not a whole lot of anything when you get right down to it.
So again, unless the have a warrant, you have the right to tell them to take a hike. That is a Constitutionally protected right. After that, it's a matter of how bad they want in, and how bad you want to keep them out.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
A lot of good conversation here. I do support that there are exigent circumstance. Of course the people can deny permission for a search of the personal space. As I posted before the exigent circumstance is the immenant and deadly danger to the community. Exigent circumstance is still subject to judicial review. When searching the officers with or without a warrant can not use the search for a fishing expidition. If the police are searching for a person a 30 round magazine would be inadmissable because the police have no reason to open containers that cound not have the subject of the search contained. In other words the perpetrator couldnt fit into a 30 round magazine... Exigent circumstance cases almost exclusively are connected with the safety of an individual, or a comunity. In the case of evidence being destroyed... my experience is the courts prefer the officers secure the scene, and get a telaphonic warrant.
I believe if you deny them entry and they decide they will search anyway anything illegal they find during the search for the "Fugitive" will be "Spoiled fruit" and will be thrown out of court if it even makes it that far
