Earlier last week, we had some time to chat with Eli Paperboy Reed, before he jets back over the pond for his tour in France. Working with a whole new album, Reed has been touring around Europe like crazy showcasing his soulful vocals and proving to the world that he is not just another R&B singer. Reed's new album "Nights Like This" has him entering a new realm of energetic pop infused soul, and even stars like Beyonce' are starting to take notice!
What was your inspiration for "Nights Like This?"
Eli: Well, it was really finally have some time off to work on music in places other than a hotel room; having some time to actually work on writing songs in a different way than just with an acoustic guitar, trying to demo things on your phone, or whatever. So I was able to really expand up on the way that I had previously ... The way that I had been writing songs for my whole career was just banging them out with my guitar. Then doing it all a little bit and as a fly by night type of thing. I think this way, myself, and my writing partner, Ryan Spraker, we were able to actually get in the studio and work from different starting points, whether it was drum beat or a bass line or whatever, we could actually create, in the studio, which is not something we have ever had a chance to do before.
It allowed me and us, as a team, to expand our horizons, and try different things. All the while, knowing that my roots as a soul singer and as a gospel vocalist, all of those going to come to the fore, whether I like it or not. I sort of don't have a choice in that because the music is really running through me at this point, which I think is a blessing, because it allows us to work with different contexts, but still bring it back home with the way that I sing, and the way I interpret a melody, or something like that. So it was really just like having that time, not having to tour and having a minute to really work on some music in different ways that led us to work on creating a different sound of a record.
It definitely is a departure from the traditional classic/soul style from your past records. What brought on the more poppy, energetic feel to the album?
Eli: I think a lot of that, like I said, really had to do with just having some time. Instead of, my great band that I tour with, in different incarnations, previously what we would just do is work on songs, and then get the band in the studio and record them, not as quick as possible, but with not a lot of time. Most of the time would be spent with the band, learning the songs, and then we would play them as we had played them live.
This was a different process. It was more like we had the ability to start with melody and stuff like that. Also, I think both of us had been listening to a lot of different stuff. We wanted to try to expand our potential listening audience. I wanted to make something that was more for my peers. I also felt if I made another record in the same mold that I would be stuck doing that for the rest of my career. But I didn't want that. I wanted to try to grow as an artist, and do something different, and, hopefully, gain more fans because of that.
What was the hardest part of about recording this album?
Eli: I think the hard part was knowing when we were finished. Because so much of it was done in the studio. It wasn't just, "Okay, that's a take. Let's keep that." It was more like it was put together, not in pieces exactly but it was like we had so many options of different things that we could add that it was hard to know when to say, "Okay, this is done. This is the record. This is the song." We also wrote, probably, three times as many songs for the album that are actually on it. So choosing which were the best was also pretty difficult. I'd say the toughest thing, definitely, was being able to wrap it up.
What kind of process do you have for vetting the songs in trying to identify which ones to put on the record?
Eli: It was a combination of myself and Ryan, just looking through stuff. I think it was actually a little bit simpler than you might think. I think that our top ten would change as the more and more that we wrote. I think by the end of it, we probably had fifteen that were in contention and then we narrowed that down to eleven. We recorded thirteen, like really recorded and finished thirteen. So the process was going through with people from the label, with Mike Elizondo, who is sort of the guiding hand over there, the executive producer, I would say. Getting people's opinions and, finally, through that process with different people's thoughts on it, we narrowed it down to the tracks that we liked.
When you were writing the record did you think to yourself, "this will be a good single", or did you just write the record and then figure out everything afterwards?
Eli: When we finished "Shock to the System," which is actually the first song that we wrote for the record, we knew immediately that that was going to something that could potentially be a single. "Nights Like This" is the same thing. But, then again, it did change over time. The more songs we wrote, the different sections that we did, and things like that, our opinion about what were the top tracks and potential singles definitely changed. Also, sometimes when you actually finish a song, when the recording is done, then that's when it really starts opening up to you, and you say, "This is a song that I didn't think much about before but now that it's finished it really has some potential."
Tell us a little bit about the making of the video for "Shock to the System".
Eli: Oh man. We kind of did a down and dirty music video. It wasn't something that was too crazy. We just wanted to have a visual to go with it. I think people, especially ... Making a little bit of a reintroduction, especially, here, in the US. So we just wanted to show people what I was all about and what the band was all about, and as a way to supplement the sounds and the song and all that stuff. So I think that was really the goal. We were trying to tell a particular story or anything.
You have been touring in Europe recently, How would you say the music scene differs over there as opposed to here?
Eli: It's just really different in every territory, and every territory is a little bit of a microcosm. The UK still has a very traditional record business in the way they take songs to radio and stuff like that. It's really different. You kind of have to approach it differently every where you go. Luckily, we've had a lot of success in a lot of different territories. I'm happy, I can go to Spain. I'm actually leaving for France, tomorrow, to go on a ten-day French tour. I can go England and have success. I think that, obviously, there's a recognition of some American music over there that, unfortunately, has gone by the wayside, here at home, which is really nice, but, also, I think that it's, in a way, tough for me, because I have to make a reintroduction over there as well because I made a different kind of record.
What would you say your favorite new song off the record is to play live?
Eli: I love playing "Shock to the System." I think it's really fun, and it really get people going. "Well Alright Now" is a really fun one to play. "Grown Ups" is really fun. You know, they're all really fun to play. Yeah. It's fun to play new stuff. It's also fun to do it out over the course of a tour to see how you want to play stuff; how it grows as you really kind of wrap your mind around it, for live.
So what do you have planned for this summer and the fall?
Eli: We're going back to France, tomorrow, to do a French tour, which is exciting. Then the rest of the summer is being buildup to really get ... Unfortunately, the record came out to late for summer festivals. The plan is to really build the record at radio and at press to do a big fall headlining tour. That's the plan right now. So we'll see how that works out.
So just really quick, I want to get your take on some of the new artists that you're into.
Eli: Oh, man, I mean there's so many new and old. As far as favorite bands of mine, I'm a big fan of Dr. Dog. I love what they're doing. I like a lot of radio stuff these days. I think Bruno Mars is really great. I'm a huge Beyoncé fan. We do a Beyoncé cover in the set. There's always country stuff that I'm listening to. Ashley Monroe and Miranda Lambert, I'm a big fan of. I also like Blake Shelton, and stuff like that. Let me see. Then there's always tons of old stuff that I'm always going back to. Going through re-issues of a lot of gospel. The Violent Heirs are a big favorite of mine. I definitely go back to gospel music all the time. There's too many things to mention.
In your opinion, who's better the Stylistics or the Delfonics?
Eli: Actually, I'm not such a group guy but I do love the Delfonics. The Stylistics, it's a little too sweet for me. Delfonics are a little tougher and a little funkier.

The Healthcare Marketing Community and Blog
The Industry's Healthcare Marketing Idea Exchange
As I've documented in this blog over the last several weeks, my firm recently helped launch a new health system brand in eastern North Carolina: Vidant Health. The health system includes 11,000 employees, 10 hospitals and hundreds of physicians. Each of the hospitals that make up this system has a rich legacy serving its community. None is richer than Vidant Medical Center, formerly Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Vidant Medical Center is one of only four AMCs in North Carolina. It is the anchor hospital in the system.
While everyone was focused on launching the new Vidant Health brand, the organization's leaders made sure that Vidant Medical Center's legacy was appropriately honored. Along with naming the medical center building "The Pitt Memorial Building" and erecting a tribute wall within the hospital lobby, they produced a 10 minute video that celebrates the rich legacy of Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
It is easy to charge ahead, embracing the future, forgetting to acknowledge those who came before us and who built the foundation upon which we stand. The visionaries at Vidant Health understood this. Below is the tribute video they produced honoring those who made it possible for Vidant Health to become a modern, integrated system of care serving a 29-county region larger than the state of Maryland.

On Chaos
This week's episode of The New Canon is all about chaos, and an attempt to find order within chaos, as we check out new recordings from So Percussion, the Eclipse Quartet, Yungchen Lhamo and Anton Batagov.
So Percussion recently unveiled "neither Anvil nor Pulley," a work for laptop/percussion quartet and turntable by Dan Trueman. Mixing turntables, microphones, video game controllers, drums and laptops, among other tools, the piece is an exploration of what it means to be a musician in the digital age. The recording is available exclusively via digital download.
Works by three pioneers of American experimentalism—Frederic Rzewski, James Tenney and Zeena Parkins—are performed by The Eclipse string quartet and percussionist William Winant on a recent disc from New World Records. Rzewski's contribution, Whimwhams, is a fully-notated attempt to bypass the conscious mind and tap into the ecstatic, spontaneous energy of free improvisation.
Our album of the week is "Tayatha," a collaboration between Tibetan vocalist Yungchen Lhamo and Russian pianist Anton Batagov. Described as a modern vocal cycle about finding peace in the middle of a crazy world, the seven songs mix European tonality with intricate, traditional Tibetan vocals. Stream the whole album here, all week!

Auburn players were sent text messages late this afternoon and told to report to the football complex for a team meeting at 6 p.m. CST. The meeting lasted approximately 10 minutes and was an emotional one with the head coach struggling to say goodbyes to his team.
Tuberville and assistant coach Eddie Gran broke the news to the players. Other coaches were on the road recruiting and didn't have had a chance to return for the meeting.
Offensive lineman Jared Cooper (right), safety Zac Etheridge (4) and linebacker Craig Stevens (far left) were part of a somber group of players who left the meeting with Tuberville and Gran. AU officials told them not to do interviews.
Tuberville met with president Jay Gogue and Jacobs over the past three days to discuss the future of the program. The coach is expected to get a nearly $6 million buyout, the same amount of money he would have had to pay Auburn if he left for another coaching job.
Jason Bosley, a senior center on the Auburn team, said he is very upset by the news. "Please tell me this isn't true," he said. "Why would they do this? This just doesn't make any sense at all."
Tuberville's team just wrapped up a disappointing 5-7 season on Saturday with a loss to archrival Alabama. The Tigers were the preseason pick to win the SEC West title.
Auburn finally acknowledged that Tuberville was out as head coach by releasing a statement at 6:47 p.m. on Wednesday stating that Tuberville had resigned, but coaching staff members tell Inside the Auburn Tigers that the head coach was fired.
In the statement, Tuberville is quoted as saying, "The last 10 years have been a great time in my life, both professionally and personally. It's been a great place to coach and live, and we've had a lot of success along the way. I'm going to remain in Auburn and help the Auburn family however I can. I'm very appreciative of the coaches, players, staff and Auburn fans over the last decade."
Jacobs was quoted as saying in the statement, "Tommy and I have had the opportunity to discuss the direction of the program. Through those discussions, Tommy felt it would be in his and the program's best interest to step aside as Auburn's head football coach.
"We appreciate everything Tommy has done for this program, this university and the Auburn community over the last 10 years," Jacobs stated. "He has established a strong foundation to build upon and we thank him for the standard he set. We wish Tommy and his family--wife Suzanne, and sons Tucker and Troy--nothing but the best."
The AU statement also noted that Tuberville's contract and those of his assistant coaches will be paid through private funds (Tigers Unlimited money). Jacobs was unavailable for comments on Wednesday night, but is expected to answer questions at an 11 a.m. press conference on Thursday.
Tuberville began his 10th season as Auburn's head football coach with a record of 80-33 with the Tigers along with a 49-23 mark in Southeastern Conference play. The Tigers slumped to 5-7 in 2008 and 2-6 in the SEC to make his AU record 85-40 with a 52-29 conference mark.
This year's losing record ended Auburn's streak at eight of consecutive bowl trips. His teams won five of those eight contests, including five of the last six.
Tuberville's Auburn teams produced 35 first team All-SEC players, eight All-Americans, 24 All-SEC Freshman team members, two SEC Player of the Year awards and 29 of his Tigers have been selected in the NFL Draft, including five in 2008.
Tuberville's most successful season came in 2004 when the Tigers set a school record for victories during their 13-0 campaign. He was named SEC Coach of the Year and won the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Paul "Bear" Bryant, Walter Camp and Schutt Sports National Coach of the Year awards. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Football Coaches Association and is on the group's rules committee.
This year he was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame and in May he and four other coaches visited U.S. military personnel on a week-long tour to Germany and the Middle East.
Tuberville had the fourth longest tenure of any head football coach in Auburn history behind Ralph "Shug" Jordan (25 years, 1951-1975), Mike Donahue (18 years, 1904-06 and 1908-22) and Pat Dye (12 years, 1981-1992).
Auburn's 25th head football coach, he took over the program on Nov. 28, 1998 after four seasons at Ole Miss where he was credited with rebuilding a team decimated by crippling NCAA sanctions caused by the previous coaching staff. After being named SEC Coach of the Year at Ole Miss, he took on another rebuilding job at Auburn, a program coming off a a 3-8 season, its worst record since the winless 1950 campaign.
Tuberville's coaching resume includes four years in the high school ranks, five years as a defensive assistant at Arkansas State University, eight years as an assistant at Miami and one season as defensive coordinator at Texas A&M. Tuberville was a three-year letterman as a free safety at Southern Arkansas University, where he also played on the golf team, earning two letters in that sport. Before that he was a football, basketball and baseball player at Harmony Grove High in Camden, Ark.
Tuberville showed early promise in his first coaching job at Hermitage, Ark., High. In 1979, his second year as head coach, he led the Hermits to a 7-3 record, which was the first winning season in school history. That success caught the attention of Coach Larry Lacewell at Arkansas State and earned Tuberville a chance as a college assistant. He received experience on defense in his five seasons at Jonesboro with his primary assignments being with the ends and linebackers, but he also coached defensive backs and linemen. In 1984, his final season at Arkansas State, the team advanced to the second round of the Division I-AA playoffs.
His first chance at the Division I-A level came at Miami under future NFL head coaches Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson. Tuberville paid his major college coaching dues with the Hurricanes, spending two seasons there as a graduate assistant and one as a volunteer coach while holding a variety of part-time jobs in Miami before becoming a full-time linebacker coach in 1989. His skills as a position coach were soon evident and in 1993 he was named defensive coordinator. That season Miami allowed just 12.6 points per game, which was third nationally. That 9-3 Fiesta Bowl team was ranked fifth nationally in pass defense.
Tuberville got a chance to show his abilities in a new setting the next year at Texas A&M. Working as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for R.C. Slocum, the Aggies posted a 10-0-1 mark thanks to a defense which allowed just 13.3 points per game, which was fourth nationally. The Aggies gave up just 265.5 yards per contest, fifth nationally, and allowed 92.4 yards per game on the ground to rank sixth nationally.
After one season at Texas A&M, he was named the 33rd head coach at Ole Miss on Dec. 2, 1994. His first season in Oxford, the Rebels posted a surprising 6-5 record. The only losing season he suffered in Oxford came the following year when the Rebels were 5-6. Ole Miss started that season with just 61 scholarship players, 24 short of the NCAA limit. Despite a lack of numbers, the Rebels looked to be on their way to another winning campaign in 1996, but dropped three of their final four games when injuries played havoc with an already thin depth chart. In 1997, with the NCAA sanctions ended, the Rebels returned to the bowl scene and finished with eight wins.

Dark psychology is one of the most powerful forces at work in the world today. It is used by the most powerful influencers the world has ever known. Those who are unaware of it risk having it used against them. Don't run that risk!
In his book entitled Dark Psychology 101, author Michael Pace offers a cutting-edge distillation of some of the most powerful principles in the world of dark psychology. Each chapter explains an aspect of dark psychology in a way which is understandable for a layman with no specialist scientific knowledge. Ideas are illustrated with examples to make the task of understanding dark psychology easier. In addition, the book contains case studies and useful profiles on the types of people who make use of this "black magic" in their everyday lives. You will be also shown how you can apply the principles of dark psychology if you choose to.
Please be warned, this book is not for the faint of heart or the weak of mind. Once you have lifted the curtain on the world of dark psychology, there is no going back. You will have an understanding of human nature that few have ever obtained. With great power comes great responsibility.

"Excellent information - One that I'll listen to again"
Great info.
Bit short. More detail and more content would be good. More examples of how to implement the ideas.
"uncomfortable naration"
The naration is very uncomfortable to hear, when the letter "S" is pronounced. Also, different chapters repeate the same content in different wordings.
"scratches the surface"
general information definitely over priced dose not deliver what it promises unless you have no idea don't buy.
Always looking for ways to improve myself.
"worth a read"
Not a bad read if you are into this sort of thing. Gets you thinking and wanting to know more...
"Discount Robert Greene as Read by Some Stiff."
If you are interested in the topics presented in this book, then I strongly recommend that you read the works of Robert Greene instead. Michael Pace repeats himself too much and says too little. The narrator here is a bit emotionless for my taste as well.
"Not at all what I expected"
Very lame. The intro leads you to believe it was really going to be "dark". The author actually tells you, "you are warned." I was very disappointed.
"Ehhh... Mostly general knowledge"
I have listened to other titles by Pace, and they seem to be repeats of this title. I can never say never, but I was looking for something that was more in-depth.
Sure, I am not one to disregard an author based on a single title... The topics discussed are general knowledge, but maybe to some of the more naive, the discussion of these psychological tactics would be eye-opening. Just this book wasn't for me, as anyone that has a couple of semesters of college psychology already understand many of these techniques.
Again, the topics discussed are valid and would shed some light to people that haven't had some psychology classes in college... I love psychology and even made it my minor. I was looking for more in-depth discussion and examples, but then again people are quite simple beings (have some inherent and predictable triggers) even though all of us don't want to admit it or flat out deny it.
Terrible book agenda driven against nlp gurus in particular. Nothing to be gained by buying this so I advise a move to the next option people
"Waste of time"
Repeats itself and doesn't explain much. The writer tells you what people do but do not share how to do anything. Very misleading.
"Not what I thought"
interesting, but was only an introduction to wall type of mind control. A dictionary of sorts.
"Fake reviews"
I bought this book because it had good reviews. After listening to it I realized they all Fake! No useful techniques at all. Only explanation on what the author thinks of meaning of dark psychology. If you want to waste money, then buy this book.
"enjoyed by myself"
Definitely worth my time. listening to it for a 7th time today. helpful if you enjoy expanding your mind.
"GREAT book!!"
This is the best book I ever bought. All the concepts were well explained and examples were provided to help you more readily identify it in everyday life. I would HIGHLY recommend it.
"Good read"
Some things I k ew and some things I didn't think until I read it. I like the chapter about dating seduction and media brainwashing. I wish those chapters were much longer.
"Voice like Whistle, couldn't concentrate on conten"
Voice like Whistle, couldn't concentrate on conten. Shhhh....Phshhhh.... S and Sh are irritation to listen to the book.
"An Interesting Listen."
The power is neutral... neither good nor evil. You determine it's use. Enjoy listening mate.
"Useful, easy to understand "
I thought it was a good general introduction to the concept of dark psychology. The writer could have used more case studies and anecdotal examples throughout the chapters to make his teachings less general and more memorable, rather than leave them to the end.
All in all, I would recommend a read through. I found it useful and interesting.
i'm going to listen to this a few times,just like dark nlp >:) useful info
"good book"
I learned from it some I'd had known already and Jim is a narrator may read again.

I describe my regular zine as "a light-hearted food/perzine," but for a while know I have been thinking about writing a regular, straight-up perzine for a while now, but I'm just not sure how I feel about it.

U.S.A. — Ever since 50¢ vends took hold nearly a decade ago, the bulk vending industry has not seen a significant price increase despite steadily mounting costs for merchandise and overhead. The way the majority of suppliers and manufacturers are talking, not only are per-vend price increases inevitable, but long over due. With profit margins for both operators and suppliers now razor thin, it would seem only a matter of time before significant price increases become a necessity.
Operators and suppliers can pretty much take their pick of reasons for why profit margins are shrinking. Factories in China, once adept at creating low-cost bulk vending toys, are now converting to hi-tech consumer electronics and even large appliances. Trade shows in China that once offered a multitude of low-cost items for the American market are now exhibiting fewer products that fall within the bulk industry's acceptable wholesale price points.
And the cost of oil has skyrocketed over the past 18 months. For the bulk vending industry, this has proved to be particularly vexing. Not only is petroleum a necessary ingredient in products, but also in the making of capsules. Rising energy costs have also negatively impacted shipping fees and transportation costs throughout the supply pipeline. Once a small cost consideration, energy costs have been taking an increasingly large bite out of the profit margin. In very simple terms, the price of moving products from the factory to the machines has risen dramatically.
Manufacturers and operators have absorbed these price increases both independently and together. However, neither has escaped the bite from their bottom lines.
"I don't think there's any question that vend prices will go to 75¢ and $1," said Peter Becker of What's Up. "We've enjoyed many, many years of increasing product value and low inflation. But this latest spike is what is going to throw us into the next level; the costs are finally catching up to the quality of the merchandise."
Becker, who pioneered the concept of "premium merchandise" that helped boost the price increase to 50¢ some years ago, has already seen many of his products cross the line into 75¢ vends because of their quality. "Operators are looking for higher quality merchandise," he said. "And that's part of our purchasing philosophy. Right now we're purchasing items that are at the high end of the 50¢ spectrum, so the result of that would be excellent-selling 50¢ items, while the same merchandise could garner a 75¢ vend. The idea behind that is to assist operators in making that change upward."
This increased quality, of course, is essential. Price increases, as many operators have discovered in the past, do not work without a simultaneous increase in the perceived value of a product. Children, for all their consumer savvy, stubbornly refuse to grasp the underlying principles of pricing when it comes to bulk vending. They want value for their money and accept no excuses.
So what, exactly, is keeping vend price hikes from being instituted en masse? After all, it wasn't that long ago that the industry made a fairly smooth and relatively speedy transition to higher-priced 50¢ items. The answer is not an easy one to grasp. Among the most obvious reasons is the fact that the industry still hasn't completely recovered from the voluntary lead/jewelry recall that occurred not too long ago. Although quality product continues to flow through the supply chain, the void left by those toy fashion accessories has not been completely filled. The toy jewelry made up an entire product category whose appeal extended from pre-teens and tweens to young adults. And while some products since the recall have tapped into that same market demographic, the category has never rebounded.
And, too, the complaint voiced by many operators a few years ago – that products with a higher perceived value aren't available in any real quantity – still has merit. Before operators invest in higher prices, they want to be assured of a steady supply of quality higher-priced merchandise. This is no easy task, as most suppliers want to be assured of a steady supply of customers for the merchandise before they make a more substantial inventory investment.
Another reason is the expense of changing over; the investment on the part of operators is not insignificant. With sales down in several parts of the country, many operators are looking to cut costs any way they can.
And then there is the "jingle factor." While most people can usually count on having about 50¢ in various denominations jingling in their pockets or purse, 75¢ or more is less likely. The obvious answer, of course, is a bill changer, representing another investment for the operator.
"Given the price increases, and the fact that everything is going up, merchandise has to go up to 75¢ and $1, but some operators have met resistance," said Michael Fishman of Five Star/TJ King, a leading supplier based in Niles, IL. "There is consumer resistance out there. And there also is a lot of competition out there with dollar stores."
According to Fishman, there are several products on the market today that could fetch a 75¢ vend, such as 55-mm high-bounce balls, but other items are "stuck" at the 50¢ level. "Operators are going to have to raise the price, but they need the right product to do it," he said. "It's happening now out there, but selectively."
Despite all of the reasons not to switch to higher price points, an increasing number of operators are making the move. Some are forward-thinkers who want to be at the forefront of the trend for competitive reasons, while others see it as a matter of survival. According to several manufacturers, an increasing number of operators are retrofitting machines with the higher-value coin mechs. Richard Bolen of Northwestern Corp. has reported increased sales of the high-value mechs. "From our end of it, we have seen more and more people converting from 50¢ to 75¢ and to the dollar," said Bolen. "Before, there was just a handful of people and we did it ad hoc. As it became more prevalent, we redesigned the '80' mech so it could handle the higher prices."
Bernie Schwarzli of Beaver Machine Corp. has also noted the same trend, and sees no let up in sight. "If the fuel prices continue to go up as anticipated, the capsule prices are going to inevitably rise," he observed. "I strongly recommend that operators begin preparing themselves. Going along with this, though, will be a greater need for suppliers to offer products that have a higher perceived value."
Service Vending (Aurora, MO), has been in the vanguard of higher-priced vends for years. It was among the first to adopt the 50¢ vend several years ago, and more recently it completed the changeover to 75¢. The move to the higher-priced vend, which the company first initiated in 2001, was completed nearly 18 months ago. The strategy was simple: Service Vending adopted the higher price for all of its 2-in. capsules, then jumped the price of 1.1-in. capsules to 50¢.
According to Service Vending's Tyler Sumners, the changeover dropped the number of vends by as much as 40% in some locations, but the extra profit increased net by as much as 20% to 25%. "At this point, it's easier to increase the value of merchandise in the machines," explained Sumners. "We do this through dedicated products as well as mixes. We've been able to enhance the value." He is quick to note, however, that 1.1-in. capsules at 50¢ have not performed as well as expected for him or other operators who have made the change.
"I see a lot of 75¢ machines popping up, but not that many 50¢ machines for 1-in. capsules," said Sumners. "I think [these operators] they may be getting away from the 1-in. capsules altogether, and going to gum and candy."
Candy and ball gum have not been immune to slimming profit margins. Manufacturers are feeling the pinch in the face of rising commodity prices affected even more by a particularly bad hurricane season. Sugar and other raw ingredients have all seen increases.
According to Mahesh Pohoomull of Oak Leaf Confections, a leading manufacturer of ball gum, 850-ct. ball gum typically vended for 25¢ is in danger of a shrinking profit margin.
"There are two alternatives: One is to move to a 1,080-ct. gumball, which for a slightly higher price yields 230 extra gumballs and a very minimal difference in the perception of size from a consumer point of view," said Pohoomull. "The other option is to go with a larger-sized gumball – perhaps a 600 count – and move to a 50¢ vend."
Will customers pay 50¢ for a gumball? Maybe. Although a doubling of the now-accepted price of a quarter, the 50¢ vend is still less expensive than most confections sold through traditional retail channels.
One thing is for certain in the pricing dilemma: operators can be assured that no easy answer will suddenly appear on the horizon. Gas prices are not expected to come down in any dramatic fashion in the near future, and product costs will most likely remain high. Whether operators can manage to raise vend prices to maintain profit margins or diversify their range of equipment to increase profits remains to be seen. But, as any experienced operator knows, bulk vending has never been an industry of quick fixes and easy answers.

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY: Indians suffer first loss, but plan to protest result
It was a strange way to end a game, and not just because Indiana was on the losing end.
In a sudden-death situation, Baldwin's Mark O'Hanlon scored the game-winning goal late in the third period, lifting the Highlanders over Indiana, 6-5, for the Indians' first loss of the season in a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League Open Division hockey game, and a potential Chiefs Cup playoff preview, Thursday night at S&T Bank Arena.
Indiana (8-1) was the last team in the Open Division to suffer a loss this season.
Actually, the Indians think they have a case at still being unbeaten.
PIHL rules set a 1-hour, 50-minute time limit on each game — necessitated by the cost and limited availability of time at rinks league-wide — but play is allowed to continue until the next whistle after the curfew clock expires. Indiana coach Dom Glavach planned to protest the result with the PIHL because he contended the clock was incorrectly stopped during an injury stoppage in the third period, meaning play should have stopped before the winning goal was tallied.
What wasn't at dispute was that there's more hockey to be played by the two Northeast Conference heavyweights, quite possibly deep into the playoffs. The teams, both division leaders entering the night, will also meet Friday, Feb. 21, at Baldwin (10-1) to conclude the regular season.
"We didn't play our best ice hockey of the season," Glavach said. "We definitely had more in the tank than we showed there. We didn't play poorly; we just had a couple bounces here, a couple bounces there.
"To drop a game 6-5, if that ends up making its mark in the book, no one likes the taste of a loss, but a loss does one thing for you: It reminds you how sweet it is to win. Take this as whatever, a tie, a loss; you're not going to settle for it. My words in the locker room were very simple. We didn't really dwell on it. We said we're not happy with it, we don't accept it, and we're definitely going to get better. Things like this make you better."
The lead changed hands five times Thursday night, including twice in the third period. Indiana trailed 4-3 after a lackluster second period, but pulled ahead, 5-4, following a power-play goal from defenseman Noah Moody, his second goal of the night, and a marker from center Camden Lydick at the 8:40 mark.
Just 44 seconds later, the Highlanders tied it back up, 5-5, on Max Milan's goal.
The scoring highlighted the general ups and downs Indiana went through all night.
"That's just the ebb and flow of high school hockey," Glavach said. "One guy makes a mistake, and they have the right matchup (to capitalize). We were doing the same thing. We were finding what their weak spots were and putting our best out against them to take advantage of their mistakes."
Indiana goaltender Zane McElhenny was injured when the puck hit off an unprotected part of his knee around the 5-minute mark of the third. The timekeeper stopped the curfew clock during the delay, and Bo Anderson eventually replaced McElhenny. With 1:48 left on the game clock, O'Hanlon scored and was quickly mobbed by teammates, who knew that ended the game on the spot.
"It was an off-ice timekeeping mistake," Glavach said. "They afforded more time than what was permitted. The game must complete in 110 minutes. This game went on for 114 minutes, so technically it (should be) over in a tie. … What I'm angry about is, you can't stop that clock for anything. That clock goes, that is real time. The game must complete in that space. The officials took it upon themselves to stop that clock when my No. 1 (goalie) went down."
The win was huge for Baldwin, which was 0-5 against Indiana in the two previous seasons since the Indians' returned to varsity hockey. Indiana knocked the Highlanders out of the Chiefs Cup playoffs two years ago, beating them, 5-3, in the semifinals.
"It's big for a lot of the boys that have faced this team in the past," said Baldwin's first-year coach, Jim Brown. "I know what happened on the scoresheet; they know what happened in their hearts. That is the driving force for some of these boys, especially some of my seniors who got knocked out of the playoffs two years in a row."
Indiana hadn't played in three weeks. It had a two-week holiday break, and its first two games after that were postponed due to inclement weather. The Indians still have 11 games left to play before the playoffs start in late February.
"Nothing's an excuse here; you cut your own path," Glavach said, "but not playing those two games, really, we're coming out ice cold. That's a large part of it, too. The passes were just a little soft; they were a little in front."
T.J. Petro and Matt Swatsworth also scored goals for Indiana. Moody added an assist for a three-point night. Lydick and Jess Bartholow also had three points in the game.
Brian Dee had three points for Baldwin. The Highlanders were actually without their leading scorer, Dakota Becker, who was away with his travel team.
"It should go a long way for our program," Brown said of the win. "The rematch should be excellent. They've got a good hockey team. I wish them the best of luck, and we'll see them in a couple weeks in our barn."


text: So I've been having problems trying to flash my PCM with my new Diablosport Itune I-1000. The first time it worked fine, and now when I went to modify the tune, it had an error and went into recovery mode and said it needed to flash my factory tune back. It continued to error out and then the truck wouldn't start, after about 4 tries it finally went back to stock. SO I called tech support and they said it is most likely caused by my aftermarket head unit and universal wiring harness. Ok fine, but the answer they told me was to pull the HU and disconnect the wiring harness plug, flash and then re-install. This is a major pain in the ass, so Im wondering if there is a way to disable the wiring harness without actually unplugging it. He said pulling the radio fuse wont work, but maybe there is another fuse? Anyone know of this?

No one dreamed something so hideous could grow in so beautiful a place....
Many who visit the valley are overwhelmed by its majesty. Some wish they never had to leave. One didn't: a hiker whose decomposing corpse is discovered by an unsuspecting tourist. But this strange, incomprehensible murder is only the edge of the darkness that hovers over a small rural village and its tight-lipped residents, who guard shattering secrets of sordid pasts and private shames.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks knows that both the grim truth and a cold-blooded killer are hiding here, far from the city, the noise, and safety. And he's determined to walk into the valley of death to expose them both.
Investigate another case with Inspector Banks.
©1990 Peter Robinson (P)2010 Tantor
"Robinson excels in the depiction of character, especially in his portrait of his pleasingly fallible copper. He is steadily ascending toward the pinnacles of crime fiction." (Publishers Weekly)
"Very dated story"
Nothing dates as badly as the near past and this story felt very slow and old fashioned. A trip to Toronto was shoe-horned into the plot, mostly it seemed to me to show the author's knowledge about the city. It certainly added nothing to the plot. The characters were rather one dimensional, the police work plodding and the ending an abrupt farce. This wasn't helped by the narrator's awful female voices. They all sounded like something out of Monty Python.
These books seem to be very popular, so maybe later books in the series improve, but on the evidence of this story I think I'll stick to reading Ian Rankin.
"Eeh Bah Gum"
I like most of the Inspector Banks novels, but some are better than others. This is not his best.
It is not unlike th Daziell and Pascoe novels.
The Yorkshire accent was appalling. It would be much better if the narrator did not attempt an accent if he cannot master it, it didi spoil the story.
I think I would probably have enjoyed this more if I had read it on my Kindle as the supposed Yorkshire accent spoiled it for me.
"Another great Inspector Banks myster"
I've read all of Robinson's Inspector Banks series. Great books with characters I really care about.
"Doesn't disappoint!"
Sometimes little slow getting started , Peter Robinson's alliterative novels always end with a surprise. Definitely not your usual detective stories!
"Did not see that coming"
Yes, but I enjoyed the slow build up to the truth, and I really enjoyed the twist at the end, I just wished it hadn't ended on such a cliff hanger. The author normally does a little summary at the end, and I was a little disappointed, and felt a little cheated.
Yes, because the truth was revealed slowly, and murderer was not who the author had led you to think it would be.
James Langton did an ok job, it would have been excellent if not for the way he did the Yorkshire accents. It was good, but he kept ending certain sentences with a "th",like a tick. It was most annoying, and he would forget who was talking and add it to characters that did not have a Yorkshire accent.
The inner dialogue of the character Katie, really moved me. It made me very sad, and showed how extremism in any form can be damaging.
Too descriptive which slowed the story up somewhat. The narrator had an annoying whine when some female characters were concerned. Very disappointed and has put me off these Banks' titles. I have bought others that have been better. But narrated by a different person. I'll try again once more. The storylines are good..........
"An interesting story."
Over all a entertaining book. Only complaint I find is the ending. It was too abrupt and unlike the author's previous books did not tell the reader the aftermath of the final scene.
"Not nearly as good as later books."
I've listened to a fair number of dic Banks series. I really disliked this narrator especially at first.
What I felt lacking in the writing I realized at some points, could be the delivery of the narrator.
Still intent upon listening, ideally in order from here out. The other 5 or 6 books that I had read were so much better.
"Too many attempted rape scenes."
This book needs stronger female characters. The main female character was not believable. And she was made out as a complete twit. She was sexually accosted a half dozen times throughout the book. When a supposedly likeable character saves her from an attempted rape, he says to her "forget about it, he was just drunk." ugh.
More character development. More strong female characters.
"Good story"
I have just learned of Alan Banks mysteries and have become addicted. This was my fourth and while good-- not the best
As for the performance, it was terrific
"Good story but the ending needs work."
I enjoyed the story but it seemed like the ending.was rushed and abrupt. Otherwise, it was good.

Clarence Corriveau: Leave the deer alone
October 28, 2010
To the editor:
I read, with great interest, your recent news article about the "aggressive" deer problem in Craig.
I cannot believe that anyone in Craig America could be afraid to go out of their house because of the deer. What has become of my hometown?
Maybe the deer have been too aggressive with someone's roses, yes. But that's food, dude. (Sorry, I couldn't resist a little modern language rhyming.)
A deer on your street is a blessing from Mother Nature. Just be glad it's not a moose.
And, those who are worried about the little deer should get out and smell the roses and fresh air.
There is some danger on the streets of Craig, but it is all from the animals of the two-legged variety.
Clarence Corriveau

JD, et al --
I don't post much, but I do read LOTS -- and I appreciate the work you guys do. Being the moderator of an e-mail group, I know that it's a thankless task -- but believe me, some of us truly appreciate your service. What a blessing to not worry about one of the kids reading something unfortunate over my shoulder!
So thanks for bearing with all the frustrating stuff on our behalf. You guys are the reason this forum is the excellent resource that it has become!!

Dear Friends, treatment
The Fregenet marathon is 26 days away and all set to take place in the dynamic city of LA.† Fregenet marathon???† Apologies for a big mistake, to be sure.† Coming up is the one and only LA marathon.† But perhaps you can forgive some of us who have come to think of this event as something different, something personal, something that is a vehicle to transform the lives of some very special people.
On March 16 and 17 thousands of runners from points far and near will gather at the starting line.† A chosen few, Teresa Garcia, Tafesse Woubshet, Hirut Dagnew, Hailu Solomon, Sophia Elias, Tabi Hiwot, Biruk Sherif have registered earlier to run the 5K and the 26.2 miles, for the students at Fregenet School. Please add your names to join these wonderful runners and sign up at the following link. http://www.lamarathon.com
Achieving a new personal best or, in some cases, just finishing the race will be on the minds of each runner this year.† The desires of our runners can only be fully realized through the actions of those of us on the sidelines.† Please consider sponsoring a runner this year.† Your contributions are critical to the opportunities of some special students who deserve a chance to make something of their lives and break out of poverty.
Please sponsor our runners or donate on line through our website at: www.fregenetfoundation.org or, send a check payable to The Fregenet Foundation and mail it to:
The Fregenet Foundation
901 South Flower Street, Unit 411
Los Angeles, CA 90015
You can also donate via crowdrise on our page by simply clicking the following link.† http://www.crowdrise.com/teamfregenetfoundationla2013

Blessed Are the Meek (3 of 8) by Daniel Rodgers
This content is part of a series.Blessed Are the Meek (3 of 8)
Series: The Sermon on the Mount
Dan Rodgers
Matthew 5:1-12
November 9, 2005
INTRODUCTION: As we pick up our study of the Beatitudes, we have thus far looked the first two: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," then the second one; "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted," and tonight's lesson: "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
This verse brings to mind Psalm 37:5-11, "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. [6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. [7] Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. [8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. [9] For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. [10] For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. [11] But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
Now let's turn our attention to the message: first, the blessing and then the compliment or reward.
A. Who are the meek?
1. The meek are those who have humbled themselves before God--those who have sought and have received forgiveness of sin.
a. This is a problem for many because typically, man is not humble creature--he is, by nature, proud and arrogant--not willing to humble his heart and seek forgiveness. The Psalmist wrote, "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts" (Psalm 10:4).
1) We all remember the story of the Pharisee and the Publican, how the Pharisee, in his pride, refused to humble himself and repent; while the Publican, on th ...

Such a great organization with an amazing mission! This is the kind of organization were the impact is felt throughout the community and it's incredible to see how much they do to help our local teens. Keep rocking TL!
Teen Lifeline has been an amazing place to volunteer at, I have learned many life skills that are ultimately shaping my career path. As a college student that is aiming to work with teens and leadership development, and this organization has shaped many amazing student leaders that have and continually help save lives and support their peers.
Great organization & incredible team! Such a great cause.
We have been long-time donors of Teen Lifeline. We were first introduced to this amazing organization several years ago at their annual Connections of Hope Event and their Annual Charity Golf Tournament. We are continually amazed and impressed with the wonderful life changing and touching stories we learn about every time we attend an event. Without this vital, lifesaving organization and all it's volunteers and supporters our Arizona Youth would surely be impacted and so many senseless teen lives would be lost. Keep up the extraordinary work that is being done everyday!
I learned about Teen Lifeline through some good friends who are on the board. I went to my first event four years ago and was blown away by the stories and the impact that Teen Lifeline has had on many teenagers. I have been going to events and supporting Teen Lifeline ever since. Teen Lifeline is crucial for todays teenagers and I am thankful that a resource like Teen Lifeline exists!!
I have been a supporter of teen lifeline for several years now and involved in many of their fundraising events. I am continually amazed at the time and sincere dedication this organization gives to the thousands of teens hurting from depression, bullying, unstable home lives, the pain which leads to suicidal thoughts. Teen Lifeline is there with open ears, hearts, and door. Such a wonderful outlet for our community.
Teen Lifeline is provides a valuable services to the community through the training of teens to become peer counselors,fielding calls from teens to help them find answers to challenges they are facing and providing outreach to schools across the state. As a board member I have heard many positive stories about the impact Teen Lifeline has had on the lives of the young people touched by the organization. I am continually impressed by the work the staff and volunteers do in order to make a difference in teens lives.
Teen Lifeline is a wonderful organization doing amazing work. The many lives that have been saved by this organization speaks volumes. Many of the people working the phones are people who have been helped directly from this organization. That in and of itself is a testament to the great work they are doing.
Teen Lifeline is doing tremendous work in the community by assisting teens and their families who are dealing with depression, suicidal thoughts and related issues.
The teen (peer counselor) to teen (caller) hotline format is the key. It allows the callers to be candid in a way that they simply would not be when speaking to an adult.
I am extremely proud to contribute to this nonprofit because it addresses such a devastating issue and has demonstrated outstanding successes in providing struggling teens with connections of hope that save lives.
Teen Lifeline serves an important role in the Arizona community. In addition to the crisis hotline, they provide community outreach services for prevention, education, and postvention.
When a teen feels like they have no other options, TL gives them someone to talk to. The organization is one of only a handful in the country that has teen peer volunteers staffing a crisis hotline. The impact of this is tremendous as it allows Arizona teens to feel like they're talking with someone who relates to them, not "just an adult" who "doesn't understand" them.
Teen Lifeline is truly a special organization, providing invaluable experience to its volunteers and, even more importantly, saving the lives of Arizona teens on a regular basis.
