About This Site
I'm not crazy enough to think that I'm right all of the time.
I have a good sense of identifying trends, understanding consumer behavior and selling things to people.
Most of my musings are from inside a marketing agency looking out.
The Gift of Knowing What to Say
When I was in elementary school, I rebelled by acting out in class. I was class clown in the classical sense. Being silly gave me attention and rewarded me in way that I needed at the time. It lead me to think and believe that I show be a stand up comedian as an adult.
Several high school aptitude classes later and a degree in Communication, I fell into the lap of Marketing and later Sales, because that's what people do.
It was only after one particularly unfulfilled day at work, that I stayed up late surfing the mobile web, looking for 'something'. That 'something' ended up being a trip down memory lane, in Mrs. Horiuchi's 7th grade history class. I signed up for Improv Comedy Classes, of which I had no previous experience doing.
It has been an incredible 2+ year journey and counting. I feel like I'm beginning to itch the scratch of my 12 year old self and building a new skill set that I never knew I needed.
Some of the key lessons I've picked up:
Improv teaches presence. If you aren't locked-in on your world around you, then you are officially lost on stage. Your teammates are counting on you to be real without notice. That means you can't think about your mortgage, or sports, or your career while in a scene.
Improv teaches acceptance. Everyone on earth has a reality of the world/experiences/expression in their mind. Most times it's different than your own. If you can't accept another persons reality, and add value to it, you simply can't grow a meaningful relationship with them. It's amazing how valuable this is in everyday conversations.
Improv teaches teamwork. For new improvisers, 'funny people' struggle to be good teammates and non-naturally funny people struggle to take chances. A good team has a balance of personality and activity, but if you follow the basic rules of Improv–the playing field is completely level for both naturally funny-unfunny people. The best improvisers learn to be assistants to their team. They make others look better, and in turn make sets look better. Selfish improvisers struggle.
Improv is a confidence builder. Very few people on the face of the earth experience performance in front of a paying audience. It's such a unique motivator. It keeps you from getting complacent. And then, walking off of a stage where people don't hate you (at least) after paying their hard earned $5 is grounds for being able to conquer just about anything else.
I recommend Improv, at least classes, to just about every person that casually inquires about it. It's worth a look, even if you don't do anything beyond 4 weeks in a classroom.
Here's a link to the place that I've taken improv lessons at.
Eternal Cyborgs in Space — A Virtual Reality Discussion
I've been a long time advocate of progress and change –spurred by technological advance (in this case Virtual Reality). We should always push the boundaries of possibility.
Major global answers can be unraveled in the way we weave the bits and bytes of gadgetry and science into our lives. I'm a hopeful person, I suppose. If you look at any major industry or civil endeavor, the wrestling match of new technology is at the forefront of advancement.
We are in a transition period. Your parents never had the ability to access the worlds information within seconds, and now the entitlement of info longs for speed, accessibility, discovery and integration. Your grandchildren wont ever drive a car, that might even be an illegal activity when they are of driving age.
The big question that I haven't been able to wrap my head around is 'what do/will we actually WANT out of tech?' Are we seeking freedom, longevity, higher entertainment value– all or none of the above? How far can stretch what it means to be human before we find that we no longer are?
Lets take an introspective look at a few tech disciplines and see if we cant put some thinky power into coming up with answers. I'll revisit new topics from time to time:
Virtual Reality: This space is really heating up. Facebook seemingly legitimized the whole VR universe when it purchased Occulus Rift. Now it's a race and a land grab occurring all at once with companies competing to bring to market experiential VR and AR platforms. I've been interested in the possibility of immersive environments since the early colonization of Second Life. It's fascinating to consider that science can simulate reality well enough to trick our brains. We're not there yet, but perhaps we don't ever want to be. There is a growing number of conspiracy theorists and counter-culturists that think we may currently be living in a simulated world. In a Matrix-esque scenario, we are enslaved or sedated physically but allowed to live our life through the world we currently see as our everyday, only it's a simulation run by some external force. Philosopher Nick Bostrom even suggests that this is 'highly probable'. Though we are only at the tip of the iceberg in understanding the major secrets of the world, including; 'How do brains work?' and 'Why and how are we here in the first place?'.
If we are living in a simulation it sure would explain a lot. Physics, for example, the laws of the universe: It's pretty weird trying to wrap your brain around the 'known' that every thing in our universe is governed by the same set of laws and math equations. Equations are easily coded…
What then would be the full expression of VR technology?
If sci-fi has taught us anything at all, it's that complete life mirroring virtual reality is what we are after. A programmed simulation so real that it is…real to us. Beyond a litany of movies and TV (Total Recall, Matrix, Star Trek, Black Mirror, etc.) that show us a world inside microchips, some science nerds believe that we may actually have a shot at living several lifetimes virtually, while time in on the outside barely passes us by. This tickles the human desire for life fulfillment. Screw regrets, keep living lives until you get it right. Take an entire lifetime worth of driving simulations in a short a mount of time before hitting the road at age 16 (though, we wont have this burden much longer, will we?).
Anyhow, the applications are bountiful for VR, especially the kind that accelerates thought and helps us learn faster.
The major question that remains is, will there be enough fear from outside forces that VR never reaches its full expression?
When a Niche Gets Real: Going Solar
I'm doing something COMPLETELY different…or am I?
For over 3 years, I've had the opportunity to generate demand and create marketing strategy in the home solar panel niche. I've had a hand in creating over 25,000 leads and made some long lasting partnerships that have stood since day one of my consultancy.
The Solar space has developed, if as any indicator at all, ad copy went from appealing to the outlying 'Prepper' community, to becoming a mainstream savings opportunity for the general public. With that said, the profitability of lead sales has become more volatile than the product itself. The tangible growth of solar is almost immeasurable.
This is a plum, that I'm picking from the juiciest tree. Consumers are finding it easier than ever to finance panels with little-no out of pocket, and reaping huge rewards for doing so.
With my knowledge as a demand producer and NOW as an Energy Consultant; interest shall be piqued. Innovating is hard when you're not at the center of the universe. Becoming an Energy Consultant puts me there, deeply integrated in an exciting product. I can keep pace, grow exponentially, and tap existing resources and partnerships for an enlightened business development approach.
With my experience, I'll have a unique approach to self generating demand for a product that is difficult for most homeowners to say 'no' to. But…enough about me.
After spending a better part of a decade staying ahead of technology trends and consumer behavior, I've had hands on experience and am now all-in on Solar. If I believe in it, I think you should too.
Have you considered putting solar panels on your home? I'd like to hear from you with pros or cons.
Would you like to join me in selling rooftop real estate? Always looking to hire, and if I can't bring you on immediately, I'll know someone who can…
How I Inadvertantly Invented Social Sharing
What would social media be without the cross-platform share?
We take for granted the fact that we can grab one piece of content that we like and by adding a small piece of code, automagically post a piece of music, meme, or video. It didn't just appear one day, it was born out of a marketing campaign necessity and was overlooked for it's importance, at the time, by a young group of Internet marketers. We invented the cross-platform share and never staked our claim to fame.
How It Happened
I was a noob. I may have within my first few months of my digital career. The one thing I had on my side was a small but well-balanced team of co-conspirators and a sound work ethic. As a secondary sell-in from Paid Search, I offered what my version of 'Media' was at the time. Not too bad, to be honest. I had the right idea by creating an integrated approach. The campaign capitalized on the already existing explosive traffic source from, at the time (2006), one of the 5 or 6 big hitter costume etailers.
(Behavioral) Retargeting? You betcha, that was a buy from Fetchback in their early days when CPM was a flat $2. On the frontside of the campaign, to acquire new traffic, we used a social media contest via Brickfish. For continued engagement and earned media opportunity, we felt that people might have wanted to visually express their excitement for Halloween by posting a picture of their costume, from our client's home-site, directly to Myspace. Mind you, in 2006 Myspace was the juggernaut and Facebook was simply regarded as a wannabe. Twitter was a zygote. As necessity is the mother of invention and there were no plugins to do such a precise thing it was up to us to figure out in-house.
You wanted to add video, music, link or a despicably ugly background? Piece of cake, Myspace allowed all of those within their environment and if you knew a little HTML you could download and then upload profile destroying themes. The offsite push share was virtually unheard of and possibly completely non-existent. Until we launched this beauty:
It wasn't prettiest button or shareable unit, but it was ours. The numbers were hardly provoking, but we arrived at nearly 10,000 of these push shares to Myspace for the campaign from a few million potential site visitors. We considered it a drop in the bucket and not a worthy future pursuit. DOH!
The Build
I couldn't tell you to this day how it was built. The dev guy we had at the time was a young fellow from the Republic of Congo. At the time his English was spotty, but he was a magic man. I don't ever remember a particular task not being 'figured out' by him. For this campaign I asked for a button to integrate on site that would grab content and push it to Myspace. Completely dev-incompetent, I hadn't the slightest idea how involved or time intensive my request actually was. Luc smiled when I described the project and then coyly promised that he would have it ready (in 10 days) for the campaign launch. The commitment I inadvertently asked of him was at least 6 days of working until almost midnight prior to the launch, but he pulled it off in only two revisions. We pushed it live to the site and then checked weekly (from server logs) how often the code was accessed. There were no tracking platforms for social.
In conclusion, we proved our crazy hypothesis that people did have an interest in sharing content from sites directly to their Myspace wall. What we didn't predict was that we would out think consumers. If very few (if any) buttons existed, then we shouldn't have expected usage to widespread or understood. We were crippled by an education factor from users trust or button knowledge. That 10,000 is a flash in the pan by new standards for quality content, but then again, the expectation for content quality has multiplied just as fast.
Damn, should have capitalized on that idea…
Brain Reboot in 2013
If you are a human, you've probably discovered that reaching your BIG PICTURE year end goals/resolutions (whatever you want to call them) are not that easy. If you are not a human…Salutations, brethren.
The fact of the matter is that the things that we intend to happen often times wont work out exactly how we expect them to. However, I've learned in the past year that if you are open to interpretation and adaptation you can still achieve what you have set out to.
The Tornado
I dedicated the year 2o13 to 'education'. I expected to further my professional knowledge depth by taking extra-curricular classes and staying more diligent in my required daily industry research. Knowing my shortcomings, deeply rooted in procrastination, I signed up for an online business class with Coursera in January. January, as to not wind up crunching a years worth of agenda into late November. Already I had felt accomplished.
After falling behind within in week 1, not completing the required study materials in week 2, and deciding that staring at my monitor was not a well matched learning procedure in week 3; I became discouraged. The required means of studying (sitting in front of a monitor after sitting in front of a monitor for 8 hours) just didn't spark any solid resolve out of me. I wanted to get better through study, I just couldn't push through the distractions. My birthday came and went, and per usual, I reflected on my lifetime of accomplishments. As the perfect storm brewed of underlying frustration and discouragement and a typical birthday reflection period, I regressed. I crawled into a hole emotionally and productively. Feeling beaten professionally, my personal life began to suffer. I caught myself caring less and less about my future, people, and the routine of it all. My unavoidable mental conversations went something to the tune of 'I'm now 34 years old, I've accomplished none of the things I've set out to, I've wasted time, I'm too good for my current professional state, the light is nowhere visible in this tunnel, and I'm no longer attractive to my significant other.'
All triggered because I failed at taking an online class (a free one, mind you).
The spiral struck like a tornado, and took me to a place I never expected or wanted to be, much like a real tornado might.
I needed to be fixed, and I needed it FAST. My year, and more importantly, my life was being turned on it's head by an unwarranted case of the blues. After a few hard and pressing conversations with my girlfriend, I decided that it was no longer solely within my capacity to tear down the obstacles that I had created for myself.
The BIG Shakeup
Sometime in June, I received recommendation from my Doctor to seek counseling from a Narrative Therapist. Narrative therapy, unlike the regular Freudian stuff, is a more non-blaming, non-diagnosis type that just picks up on the issues as they occur today and seeks to show you the reality of them out from behind the veil of false perceptions. I'm not an expert, that's just how I'd interpret it.
Unwavered by the social stigma for seeking such guidance I began to go regularly and the real education of 2013 began.
My interest in peer comparison, material objects, unreasonable expectations, and aging fear all began to slowly melt away with every hour long session. Other interests began bubbling up within me and surfaced. I built myself a desk in June, an undertaking I have never come close to tackling previously…
For me, the concept of building a desk meant more than just taking raw material and turning it into usable furniture. It was a transformative project. Over 35 hours, I planned, learned, and overcame obstacles to invigorate a sense of pride that I hadn't felt in a while. It was life affirming.
Later in the same month, I impulsively began taking Improv Comedy classes. As early as 6th grade, I can remember idolizing stand up comics and even professing that I would one day become one. Why not give it a go 20+ years later?
Improv has a really liberating effect that I can barely explain. If you're not familiar, it is a discipline of comedy that is delivered with no prior preparation of material and is driven by audience participation. Yes, just like 'Whose Line is it Anyway?'
One of the most important lessons in Improv is to develop a trust of your own instincts. If you attempt to write lines for yourself in your head, or pre-determine things you will do and/or say, you will be frustrated. It won't go as well as you hope it will, and not until you clear your mind and make yourself exceptionally present can you shine brightest. It's about listening, being attentive, and reacting with clarity of mind.
In August, I developed a new brainstorming strategy founded on principles I've had for years but never pieced together. It's been received so well by my professional peers that It's leading to exciting new business opportunities in 2014 (already rolling). Any connection to Improv there? You'd better believe it, sweet cheeks.
At the close now of 2013, I realize that though I'm nowhere near where I expected to be; not only have I achieved my goal of 'education' but far exceeded the desired outcome. When I fell off track, I tried something completely different. I'm lucky enough to have been open to those opportunities.
In September, I began to feel 'right' again. I made amends with the universe and started to understand and enjoy myself (by the help of Therapy and Improv) in a way that I haven't previously. The time was as right as ever to get engaged and seal the commitment to my then girlfriend, now fiance, that I had set for earlier in the year: That I would fix me and in turn fix us. In 2014 we'll do the wedding thing.
In February of 2014, if all holds suit, I will be performing Improv on stage in front of a live audience as a culmination of my six months of studying it. I plan to make Improv a part of my history in 2014 and continue to honor it as a craft.
January 2014 will be a kickoff for a new business partnership that is rooted by already successful peers that believe in me and have unbelievable vision.
My brain is different, better, rebooted…
Get Fat & Rich for the Holidays
If you're not selling jelly beans, Lincoln logs, or iPads, the holiday season could mean a period of sluggish business and a variety of distractions. A lot of executives may travel and others just pack it in as there aren't many decision makers around for…decisions.
What is there to do then for the entrepreneur or serial business hunter: How about take a little time to connect with people outside of your circle, find a little culture, and explore while still keeping tabs on your analytics accounts from home? The value in this activity will be a tall cold glass of refreshment, distant from fighting crowds at the mall and picking at remaining Thanksgiving leftovers well into December.
The holiday season is the ideal time to GET RICH. Not financially however, more existentially. If the economic boom blog post was the one you were seeking, I'm here to inform you that you can now look elsewhere. This is not the droid you were looking for.
We're getting rich with a new experience.
Let's call it a sociological adventure. We're going to expand what seems to be an always shrinking world with the power of the pen.
Here's what I'm doing and what I'd like to encourage you to do and report your findings…
1. Go to MapCrunch – A site that allows you to travel to a random place at the click of a button.
2. In the right hand side toolbar, leave all countries selected (as-is) and click the 'Urban' checkbox. This will give you a higher likelihood of being randomized into a residential area, though they use a pretty loose definition of that.
3. Click 'Go', and for a few milliseconds, wait with anticipation.
4. Take a look at your location and try to get your bearings. I was dropped in a neighborhood in Peru.
5. Explore your area for a bit and see if there are a suitable amount of what appear to be private residences in the area.
6. If it's looking pretty well-established, take a look at the location details in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
7. Because it's a bit easier to operate, take that location information and drop it into Google Maps
8. Now comes the challenging part. In your quaint little neighborhood, do some snooping and find an address on the closest home. You may need to travel around the block a bit to find one visible enough.
9. You should have a full address and can now send this residence a HANDWRITTEN LETTER. When was the last time you did such a thing? The handwritten letter is certainly a lost art for most of us, but can be such a rewarding experience.
You might be saying, 'Dan, thisiscreepytheywontrespondwhatiftheydontspeakenglishIdontwantto-giveareturnaddresswhatifImputonaterroristwatchlist?'.
I don't care. Just cut the bullshit and send it. There's certainly a high likelihood that any number of scenarios would interrupt our little penpal experiment. Send it anyways, there's also a chance that someone could receive your letter and be enthusiastic to respond from across the world. The risk IS worth the reward.
Here are some things you may want to ask and write about that are a part of my letter:
I would first, of course, give a nice detailed introduction of yourself and make the interceptor feel comfortable. Tell them about this experiment and that you wanted to learn something new/outside of your comfort zone. Take a fair amount of time to express what your daily life is like and what challenges you face, also what you are thankful for. The goal thereafter is to incite the recipient to share the same, and bring you into their world.
Then, if it isn't too much trouble, come back here and share your experience with others and I promise to do the same.
If and when they respond, share this experience with your family and friends. Ask them to do the same and compare your results. If it doesn't work the first time, try again in a different location. Start from scratch. You may just make a new friend from a place you'll never visit or vacation to and learn something culturally significant. It's my GET RICH FAST strategy for the holidays! 🙂
The get 'fat' thing? I imagine you wont need my help in doing so over the holiday season.
REMEMBER This Week
It's taken me a relatively long time to be able to identify my successes, let alone celebrate them. I used to think that acknowledging success meant settling…
but last week, I beat the machine…
and I can't be happier about it. More as a statement and validation than simply retaining a client. The very thing that I've previously written about, robots taking our jobs, stating that those with innovation will survive, came full circle for me.
The story goes something like this (as I've come to understand it second and even third handed):
A client began directly interfacing with Facebook shortly after I launched their campaign seeking mobile app installs. Our Facebook rep, after reviewing my work and the results of campaign (pretty darn good and improving) later referred my client to the Facebook Preferred Ad Vendor under the guise that 'You could be doing much much better'. Drinking aforementioned blue and white Kool Aid, the client put my services on hold to perform a week-over-week winner takes all comparison.
What was I up against?
For starters, I am but one man. I have no expensive machinery or macros, or software. I use the Facebook Power Editor, MS Excel, and the native Facebook platform to manage ads and build campaigns.
Reviewing Facebook's preferred ad vendor list, it could have been anyone of these companies that I was challenged by, but the long and the short is that any one of them would have more substantial bandwidth, technology, and big name clients to draw experience from.
What were/are my challenges?
As with any large scale campaign that is properly developed, the man hours required to manage were/are nearly full-time status with some likely human error always inflicting more pain and punishment. The Facebook Ad Platform is simply not built to be the active manager of thousands of ads and terabytes of rolling data. Moving things around, restructuring, and abiding by consistently evolving terms of service create a wild roller coaster of emotions without the assistance of the big software providers (Kenshoo, Wildfire, Acquisio, etc). There are no alerts, budget monitors, or split test building devices in the stripped down version. When an ad needs to be clipped or turned back on, my alarm clock is set at midnight and my netbook is always within arms length.
What happened?
The test agency was provided the same instruction, ad collateral, and budget that I had been given all along. I tested first, which is not necessarily the drivers seat.
Keeping a tight loop on my mid-week budget, I rotated between 10 core targeting segments, adding and subtracting daily budget as performance dictated. My findings have been that certain age and interest groups operate like migrating predatory fish, appearing at the same time in herds consuming everything in their path. Over the weekend, I tripled my daily mid-week spend, capitalizing on an already existent engagement observation previously made by the client.
My results were pretty consistent with what I had been producing on a consistent basis, around 10%-15% growth from the previous week.
The opposition took an opposite approach spending the majority of their budget allocation over the first 3 days of the campaign. As I only had an app ranking tracker to measure the competitor's results, I was startled when rankings spiked in midweek. They tapered off and fell to the cellar by the weekend, leaving my perception cloudy.
When I was initially presented with this challenged, my expectation was that I had an incredibly daunting task at hand. Facing just the challenge of new tech was enough to put me in a severe underdog position. But, seeing ranking numbers that were very pedestrian gave me hope.
The Results
I didn't receive direct communication from the client immediately after the test. First word was that we should 'resume spend as previous', and I turned back on my money makers, without delay. My attached sales rep, who'd been heavily involved in the client management reported to me that from what he could gather, we (meaning I) had outperformed based on the early data.
I acknowledged that this was astounding for one person to even be in the ballpark of outperforming, as I was. But, it ran even deeper than that. The rumor mill began to turn, and third-hand people knew and asked me about my BIG win. David had struketh Goliath, right in the stupid self-entitled face.
It turned out, that it was not even a close race. Once the data tabulated, I completely mopped the floor with the opposition. Discovering this, my client fired them in dramatic fashion, recommending that they seek my assistance in revamping their service. They had mismanaged budget, oversold their capabilities, and didn't meet any expectations.
Superior strategy and tactical fulfillment proved to be more effective than better technology and bandwidth.
In this instance, I've further substantiated the innovation over robot theory by outperfoming a larger agency that uses global controls and technology versus my manual articulation of ads, but superior launch strategy.
Still wondering how I did it?
I'm being pretty vague about the ACTUAL delivery method that made my campaign stop-drop-and open up shop. You would too if you just beat the 'best'.
I believe that the Facebook ad strategy I've used in this amazing win can be replicated for almost any industry. I've spent almost $1million in the last three months testing. If you would like to take a new, fresh approach to your Facebook marketing, I will back up all of my claims and pull back the curtain. Simply fill out the form below and mention this post and I will be in contact shortly.
The Anti Food Revolution
The way in which we consume and produce food is long overdue for an overhaul.
When we make food, we destroy the world around us. Fishing, livsestocking, and evasive farming tactics create an end game that none of our children will be thankful for. There simply hasn't been any feasible solutions to hunger other than simply producing more food.
When we eat food, we are filling our bodies with unknown amounts of poison. In order to efficiently produce mass quantities of over-sized food, we rely heavily on artificial sources of growth and mass production. It has yet to be determined (though radically debated) to what effect chemical additives have on our total health. What we do know, at least in this country, is that food is more delicious than it has ever been. 70% of our population is obese or overweight. I'm no doctor, but from what I understand, if you're obese and you fail to unobese yourself, you can pretty much kiss the quality and longevity of your life goodbye. Everyone in this free country has the right to do with their bodies as they please, that is the double-edged sword of freedom that we can never entirely replace, but there are people who would not choose to be obese. They eat McDonalds because it fulfills a requirement for sustenance for the least amount of money. It is the fail-safe meal for people that eat for survival rather than fun.
We are demanding more food, our population is growing exponentially, and millions of people are facing famine in places where resources are not as plentiful. It's a strange and unbalanced equation.
Stew in that for a minute. Take it all in…yeah.
We're in a pretty bad place at the moment, or so it may appear. The rational person may have read this post up to this point and thought, well we're totally screwed, I'm no longer procreating. Don't act so fast, mutilator. We are going to need your rational children to carry on the important projects of NOW.
I'm extremely optimistic about a few major breakthroughs in food. If you eat, you should be equally excited. If you don't eat, please seek help immediately.
In no particular order, here are the advancements that I believe will change the way we sustain ourselves:
1. Shmeat– The story of the lab grown meat made the front page of Yahoo, so it's certainly not sneaking up on anybody, but the gravity of this advancement has only been grazed by the media outlets that have covered the story. When we no longer need cows to produce burgers, chickens to produce nuggets, or platypus to produce spam we inherently no longer need resource obliterating livestock facilities that are known to produce more environmental carcinogens than if the moon smoked moon-sized no-filter cigarettes. Deforestation, let's replace that with Reforesting. Couple the Shmeat patty with large scale 3D Printers, and we also have ourselves a globally relevant solution for famine–No additive burgers whipped up in seconds with no negative environmental impact, anywhere in the world without slaughtering a single cow.
Questions I generally have about shmeat are: 'What is the response from vegetarians?' and 'Will it be Kosher?'
Though science has made the burger, consumed it and not created the zombie apocalypse in doing so, we are a long way from manufacturing a stable product from this breakthrough. As the first burger cost in the ballpark of $325,000, we could be a decade or more away from cost effective shmeat. In the meantime, the super rich will eat these tasteless patties to their hearts content.
2. Soylent – Products claiming that they can 1 for 1 replace your meals have long been marketed in this country to dieters. Soylent has a different message to consumers; don't replace one meal, replace ALL of your meals. It is a customizable drink that manages to pack in all of the known nutrients that the body needs. For consumers, this means the ability to consume valuable nutrition at a low relative cost. Imagine the shift in the balance of power if those that cannot normally afford high nutrition value foods can suddenly improve the health and financial standing of their family. Domestically, this is a win, but internationally this is an uprising. A complete meal that just needs a clean source of water to be prepared could change the course for famine gripped communities: 3.5 million children die every year from hunger, FYI.
Though this product went hogwild on Kickstarter, it is relatively unproven. The sample size of testing for the consumption of this drink is small and isolated. The test will be if they can produce at any reasonably large capacity and fulfill promises of healthful meal replacement with any major side effects from customers. Also, the name really sucks. It could even pose as a major deterrent to those with some sense of historical science fiction. They may have chosen the name Soylent to play on 'Soylent Green (1973)', which we all know is PEOPLE, but this water cooler type guerrilla stuff doesn't work for me in this instance. It's too comical and slightly abhorrent for a product that may at some point seek government contracts.
Is it delicious? This is the most important question. It could make you grow a magic beanstalk, but if doesn't taste like real chocolate, nobody will buy it.
Of course we should, this is America for-crying-out-loud. We are the land of the free and the innovative.
The biggest advancement that we can collect from this Anti-Food movement is that it is arriving in bunches. Products that come before we are ready for them arrive on an island and face a daunting educational battle for consumers. Together, lines of time saving, health inducing, cost cutting food products could cure many of the deaths we face by caloric intake and do their part to influence the world thought leaders and powerful social media users.
A Time Capsule of Music for Aliens
As a simple experiment, I asked my Facebook friends…
Not necessarily surprising, 37 comments later I had a wide array of responses spanning numerous musical genre. There are some common threads here, though. The vast majority picked songs within their own generation rather than really exploring the boundaries of '100 years of music'.
What is the message then, for these aforementioned aliens? By my Facebook friends, it's a general revealing of vulnerabilities. We make mistakes-we have weaknesses, and by opening that book to our mysterious visitors from above we ultimately expect compassion and understanding.
In no particular order, below is a playable compilation of the respondents music selections.http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Pantera-Fucking-Hostile.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Eminem-Lose-Yourself-lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/20-Fingers-Short-Dick-man-Uncensored-+-LYRICS.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Billy-Ray-Cyrus-Achy-Breaky-Heart-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Deniece-Williams-Lets-Hear-It-For-The-Boy-HQ-with-lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Divinyls-I-Touch-Myself.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Don-McLean-American-Pie-with-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Dream-On-by-Aerosmith-lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Kashmir-Led-Zeppelin.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/macarena-los-del-rio.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Michael-Jackson-Man-in-the-mirror-lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/New-Edition-If-It-Isnt-Love-Lyrics-On-Screen.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Rappin-Duke-Shawn-Brown-a.k.a.-The-Rappin-Duke-1984.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Rick-Astley-Never-Gonna-Give-You-Up.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Rico-Suave-Gerardo.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Shaggy-It-Wasnt-Me-with-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Sir-Mix-A-Lot-Baby-Got-Back-I-Like-Big-Butts-ORIGINAL.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Slayer-Raining-Blood.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Toxic-Britney-Spears-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Vanilla-Ice-Ice-ice-baby-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2Live-Crew-Me-So-Horny-With-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Digital-Underground-The-Humpty-Dance.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/The-Eagles-Hotel-California-Lyrics-Fun-Facts.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Blinded-by-the-Light-Manfred-Manns-Earth-Band-with-lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Hanson-Mmmbop-Lyrics.mp3,http://danielredman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/R-Kelly-Ignition-Remix-Lyrics.mp3|titles=Pantera,Slayer – Raining Blood,Toxic – Britney Spears (Lyrics),Vanilla Ice – Ice ice baby Lyrics,Me So Horny – 2 Live Crew,Digital Underground – The Humpty Dance,The Eagles- Hotel California- Lyrics- Fun Facts,Blinded by the Light ~ Manfred Mann's Earth Band with lyrics,Hanson – Mmmbop (Lyrics),R Kelly – Ignition (Remix) – Lyrics|artists=,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|]

Social Media Contest Insider
I have the rare opportunity to get an inside look at a strictly ORGANIC driven social media contest. Typically when I've launched social contests with ambitious goals, I've included media buys to help stimulate the acquisition of leads or entrants. A celebrity factor at the highest level is one that I've never experienced in predicting a campaign's output.
Though my role is nominal, I have an inside look at the current running #LIVELIKEADAM Facebook contest, featuring Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Here are the details of the campaign…
Creative Agency: Cofa Media
Contest Premise: Every submission to receive Adam Levine's new fragrance will have an opportunity to enter the #LIVELIKEADAM contest; prize package includes a stay at the famous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, CA.
Campaign Goal: 100,000 entrants
Flight: Feb 4th-7th
The current assets in play are:
1) A Maroon 5 Facebook fan page with over 17 million likes.
2) A Maroon 5 twitter following of 2.3 million.
3) An Instagram following of over 81,000
4) A custom Facebook App that content-locks exclusive details about #LIVELIKEADAM
The difficulty in launching with reasonable expectation. Post Super Bowl, will fans and followers of Marron 5/Adam Levine be activated and eager to participate?
The total fanship is approximately 20 million, what would you expect the total entrants count to end up?
As early numbers begin to tabulate, I'll update in the comment thread below.

Ex-Tech at Entergy Nuke Plant Gets Safety Fine
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A former radiation protection technician at Entergy Corp.'s James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant on Lake Ontario has been sentenced to one year of probation for violating the Atomic Energy Act.
Michael McCarrick of Oswego pleaded guilty to the federal charges in September. He was also fined $1,000 for falsifying respirator fitting test records relating to 32 workers at the plant in Scriba, N.Y., 35 miles northwest of Syracuse, N.Y. Fit tests are designed to establish a proper respirator seal, but the 55-year-old McCarrick didn't perform the tests.
Respirators are given to employees during emergencies, such as a chemical release that releases dangerous fumes.
There were no known injuries because of the falsified test reports.

Catching Jordan
by Miranda Kenneally
What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though-she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university.
But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Green moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line?

Prior to a colossal 19th-century filling project, what is now the Back Bay was a literal bay. Today, along with neighboring Beacon Hill, it is one of Boston's two most expensive residential neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay MA considers the neighborhood's bounds to be "Charles River on the North; Arlington Street to Park Square on the East; Columbus Avenue to the New York New Haven and Hartford right-of-way (South of Stuart Street and Copley Place), Huntington Avenue, Dalton Street, and the Massachusetts Turnpike on the South; Charlesgate East on the West."
Before its transformation into buildable land by a 19th-century filling project, the Back Bay was literally a bay, west of the Shawmut Peninsula (on the far side from Boston Harbor) between Boston and Cambridge, the Charles River entering from the west. This bay was tidal: the water rose and fell several feet over the course of each day, and at low tide much of the bay's bed was exposed as a marshy flat. As early as 5,200 years before present, Native Americans built fish weirs here, evidence of which was discovered during subway construction in 1913.
In 1814, the Boston and Roxbury Mill Corporation was chartered to construct a milldam, which would also serve as a toll road connecting Boston to Watertown, bypassing Boston Neck. However, the project was an economic failure, and in 1857 a massive project was begun to "make land" by filling the area enclosed by the dam.
The firm of Goss and Munson built additional railroad trackage extending to quarries in Needham, Massachusetts, 9 miles (14 km) away. Twenty-five 35-car trains arrived every 24 hours carrying gravel and other fill, at a rate in the daytime of one every 45 minutes. (William Dean Howells recalled "the beginnings of Commonwealth Avenue, and the other streets of the Back Bay, laid out with their basements left hollowed in the made land, which the gravel trains were yet making out of the westward hills.") Present-day Back Bay itself was filled by 1882; the project reached existing land at what is now Kenmore Square in 1890, and finished in the Fens in 1900. Much of the old mill dam remains buried under present-day Beacon Street. The project was the largest of a number of land reclamation projects which, beginning in 1820, more than doubled the size of the original Shawmut Peninsula.
Completion of the Charles River Dam in 1910 converted the former Charles estuary into a freshwater basin; the Charles River Esplanade was constructed to capitalize on the river's newly enhanced recreational value. The Esplanade has since undergone several changes, including the construction of Storrow Drive.

The victim, a woman additional judge said that the former asked her to dance to an item song and played a role in transferring her to a remote location. The accused is said to have written to the chief justice of Madhya Pradesh saying that he is ready to face any probe by any committee. Meanwhile, the victim wrote to the president of India, the chief justice of India and Union Law Minister saying,"If this is how a mother, sister and wife can be treated, who is herself no less than a judicial officer duty-bound to protect society and law, what constitutional goals are we serving?"
Chief Justice of India responded positively, saying, "I will seek a report from the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court and take action accordingly. I will do my best for the institution."
The woman in her complaint said that the judge sent her text messages asking her to dance to an item song at a function at his home and when she spurned his advances, he got back to her professionally.
She said,"The administrative judge, along with district judge and district judge (inspection), possibly made a false, frivolous, baseless and malicious reporting to the chief justice of MP and got me transferred on July 8, in the mid-academic session of my daughters to a remote place Sidhi by overruling the transfer policy of MP HC. I was left with no option but to resign, so, I resigned on July 15 in compelling, humiliating and disgraceful circumstances to save my dignity, womanhood, self-esteem and career of my daughter."
She further added that her appeal for an extension was rejected.
The woman now gets a backing from women's right activists who demand a speedy probe.

OAKLAND -- As Klay Thompson stood before his cubicle in the Warriors locker room early Friday evening, he was asked if he'd be available to face the Memphis Grizzlies.
His response: A thumbs up.
Thompson said he felt "great," before amending it to say he felt "good."
Listed on the team's pregame injury report as questionable, due to an unspecified illness, Thompson arrived early enough that Warriors coach Steve Kerr said there was a chance he'd play.
It was 40 minutes later that Thompson, the team's No. 3 scorer at 21.5 points per game, proclaimed himself ready to go.

We're conveniently located at 6160 Jericho Turnpike in Commack, NY!
I believe we have all been there before. We come to a point in our training or fitness goal where we feel on top of the world. Nothing can stop us. Our nutrition is on point, we are making the progress in the gym we're striving for. The competitive nature in us is pouring through, and we are motivated to reach our goal, our competition, and prove to ourselves that we did it.
Then, something called life starts to creep it's way on in, and cause us to measure all our priorities in our life. School, schedule changes, life events, work, money, injury. These things creep in, and cause us to put a hold on our training. What do we do during this time? We may wallow in our self- pity most likely for a period of time, then we're motivated for change, and go back and forth in our heads where we felt "on top of the world with our training or physique". We want to go back to where we once were.
For me, this has progressively happened over the last few months. Graduate school, finances, injury, a second job, these things caused me to completely re- evaluate my priorities. It's caused stress, and pity at times. We become so busy taking care of these things, that we at times, may even to forget to take care of ourselves. I encourage you to evaluate what's important to you. What's going to make you feel like yourself again. Is it being a better boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or helping others? Is it seeing and feeling the physical changes within yourself, feeling yourself get stronger?
Although my own "fitness regimen" has drastically changed due to injury. It's important for not only me, but for you as well to think of what else has happened during this time to cause you to go through these changes, and think of how much you may have really grown as a person during this time. This growth, I can guarantee will refuel your fire into establishing new ways to revamp yourself through fitness. The gym is a blessing, and we must remember areas of life outside of it.
My injury has allowed me to realize weaknesses I need to work on to better myself as an athlete. I've even gotten engaged to the love of my life during this time! This journey, is in fact a journey. We go through each phase, and each phase teaches us different components of ourselves that may have once been blurred. This is what makes our journey, ours.
I have changed the lives of the clients I work with by providing them with strength, motivation, and a reason to better themselves both physically and mentally. The smiles on their faces after completing an exercise or training session that they didn't think they could complete, puts a smile on my face daily. Knowing I helped them achieve that self- doubt is the best feeling in the world. This is my aspiration for you, this is why I do what I do. I can be here for you through your own journey. My wisdom, knowledge, and experience allow me to not only be an effective Personal Trainer, but someone you can lean on as well.
So throw on your sneakers, put on some dope music, evaluate why you want to go to the gym, and make that solid consistent attempt at continuing to better yourself through physical strength.
Studies show that less than 5% of people who want to get fit actually follow through.

121. Imam Ali was following a funeral and as it was passing along a road, somebody laughed loudly ( a sign of discourtesy and lack of manner ). Hearing this laugh, Imam Ali remarked, " Some of us feel that death is meant for everybody except themselves or it is destined to others and not to themselves or those whom we see dying around us are only travelers going on a journey and will come back to us. It is a sad sight to see that in one moment we commit them to earth and in the next we take hold of the things left by them as if we are going to remain permanently in this world after them. The fact is that we forget sensible advice given to us and become victim of every calamity.
122. Blessings are for the man who humbles himself before Allah, whose sources of income are honest, whose inten- tions are always honorable, whose character is noble, whose habits are sober, who gives away in the cause and in the Name of Allah, the wealth which is lying surplus with him, who controls his tongue from vicious and useless talk, who abstains from oppression, who faithfully follows the traditions of the Holy Prophet and who keeps himself away from innovation in religion.
123. Jealousy in woman is unpardonable but in man it is a sign of his faith in religion (because Islam has permitted polygamy and prohibited polyandry).
124. I define Islam for you in a way that nobody dared do it before me. Islam means obedience to Allah, obedience to Allah means having sincere faith in Him, such a faith means to believe in His Power, belief in His Power means recognizing and accepting His Majesty, acceptance of His Majesty means fulfilling the obligations laid down by Him and fulfillment of obligations means actions (Therefore, Islam does not mean mere faith, but faith plus deeds).
125. I wonder at the mentality of a miser, fearing poverty he takes to stinginess and thus hastily pushes himself head- long into a state of want and destitution, he madly desires plenty and ease, but throws it away without understand- ing. In this world he, of his own free will, leads the life of a a beggar and in the next world he will have to submit an account like the rich.
I wonder at the arrogance of a haughty and vain person. Yesterday he was only a drop of semen and tomorrow he will turn into a corpse. I wonder at the man who observes the Universe created by Allah and doubts His Being and Existence. I wonder at the man who sees people dying around him and yet he has forgotten his end. I wonder at the man who understands the marvel of genesis of creation and refuses to accept that he will be brought back to life again. I wonder at the man who takes great pains to decorate and to make comfortable this mortal habitat and totally forgets his permanent abode.
126. Whoever is not diligent in his work, will suffer; who- ever has no share of Allah in his wealth and in his life then there is no place for him in His Realm.
127. Be very cautious of cold in the beginning of winter and welcome it at the close of the season because cold season effects your bodies exactly as it effects the trees; in the early season its severity makes them shrivel and shed their leaves and at the end it helps them to revive.
128. If you understand Allah's Majesty, then you will not attach any importance to the creatures.
129. While returning from Siffin, Imam Ali passed along the cemetery of Kufa. Addressing the graves he said: "O you, who are lying in horrible and deserted houses. O you, who are shut up in the dark graves, who are alone in their abodes, strangers to the places assigned to them; you have gone ahead and preceded us, while we are also following your steps and shall shortly join you. Do you know what has happened aver you? Your houses and property was taken up by others, your widows have remarried, this is what we can tell you of this world. Can you give us some news about things around you?" Saying this, Imam Ali turned to his companions and said, "If they are permitted to speak they will inform you that the best provision for the next world is piety and virtue".
130. Imam Ali heard someone abusing and blaming the world and said to him, "O you, who are blaming the world, who have been allured and enticed by it, and have been tempted by its false pretenses. You allowed yourself to be enamored of, to be captivated by it and then you accuse and blame it. Have you any reason or right to accuse it and to call it a sinner and seducer? Or is the world not justified in calling you a wicked knave and a sinning hypocrite? When did it make you lose your intelli- gence and reasoning? And how did it cheat you or snake false pretenses to you? Did it conceal from you the fact of the ultimate end of everything that it holds, the fact of the sway of death, decay and destruction in its domain? Did it keep you in the dark about the fate of your fore- fathers and their final abode under the earth? Did it keep the resting-place of your mothers a secret from you? Do you not know that they have returned to dust? Many a time you must have attended the sick persons and many of them you must have seen beyond the scope of medicine. Neither the science of healing nor could your nursing and attendance nor your prayers and weeping prolonged the span of their lives, and they died. You were anxious for them, you procured the best medical aid, you gathered famous physicians and provided best - medicines for them. Death could not be held back and life could not be pro- longed. In this drama and in this tragedy did the world not present you with a lesson and a moral?
Certainly, this world is a house of truth for those who look into it carefully, an abode of peace and rest for those who understand its ways and moods and it is the best working ground for those who want to procure rewards for life in the Hereafter. It is a place of acquiring knowledge and wisdom for those who want to acquire them, a place of worship for the friends of Allah and for Angels. It is the place where prophets received revelations of Allah. It is the place for virtuous people and saints to do good deeds and to be assigned with rewards for the same. Only in this world they could trade with Allah's Favors and Blessings and only while living here they could barter their good deeds with His Blessings and Rewards. Where else could all this be done? Who are you to abuse the world when it has openly declared its mortality and mortality of everything connected with it, when it has given everyone of its inha- bitants to understand that all of them are to face death, when through its ways it has given them all an idea of calamities they have to face here, and through the sight of its temporary and fading pleasures it has given them glimpses of eternal pleasures of Paradise and suggested them to wish and work for the same. If you study it properly you will find that simply to warn and frighten you of the consequences of evil deeds and to persuade you towards good actions, every night it raises new hopes of peace and prosperity in you and every morning it places new anxieties and new worries before you. Those who passed such lives are ashamed of and repent the time so passed abuse this world. But there are people who will praise this world on the Day of Judgment that it reminded them of the Hereafter and they took advantage of these reminders. It informed them of the effects of good deeds and they made correct use of the information it advised them and they were benefited by its advice".
131. An Angel announces daily: "Birth of more human beings means so many more will die, collection of more wealth means of much more will be destroyed, erection of more buildings means so many more ruins will come".
132. This world is not a permanent place, it is a passage, a road on which you are passing. There are two kinds of people here: One is the kind of those who have sold their souls for eternal damnation, the other is of those who have purchased their souls and freed them from damnation.
133. A friend cannot be considered a friend unless he is tested on three occasions: in time of need, behind your
back and after your death.
. دوست ، دوست نیست مگر آن که حقوق برادرش را در سه جایگاه نگهبان باشد : در روزگار گرفتارى ، آن هنگام که حضور ندارد ، و پس از مرگ.
134. Anyone who has been granted four attributes will not be deprived of their (four) effects; one who prays to Allah and implores to Him will not be deprived of granting of his prayers; one who repents for his thoughts and deeds will not be refused acceptance of the repentance; one who has atoned for his sins will not be debarred from salvation and one who thanks Allah for the Blessings and Bounties will not be denied the increase in them.
The truth of these facts is attested by the Holy Qur'an As far as prayers are concerned He says Pray to Me and I shall accept your prayers. About repentance He says: Whoever has done a bad deed or has indulged in sin and then repents and asks for His forgiveness will find Allah most Forgiving and Merciful. About being thankful He says if you are thankful for what you are given, I shall increase My Bounties and Blessings. About atonement of sin He says Allah accepts the repentance of those who have ignorantly committed vice and then soon repent for it, Allah accepts such repentance's, He is Wise and Omniscient. 135. Daily prayers are the best medium through which one can Seek the nearness to Allah. Hajj is Jihad (Holy War) for every weak person. For everything that you own there is Zakat, and Zakat of your body is fasting. The Jihad of a woman is to afford pleasant company to her husband.

This may have been the way it was make, but I wanted to note that you can see w it was applied. They only other thing is a few spots w it looks like polish may have touched the base as it looks brighter than the rest. I guess you could polish the entire thing to make it uniform or let the spots tarnish again. I have taken a picture of this and the appliqued rim for you.

Dragons' Epenesa on the mend after scary injury
By KEVIN JAKAHI
Tribune-Herald sports writer
For 20 long, agonizing minutes, Honokaa junior running back Sione Epenesa lay on the soft, green grass at Wong Stadium last Saturday night. He was injured on a hard tackle in a Big Island Interscholastic Federation football game against Hilo — to what extent nobody knew at the moment.
His parents, dad Lala, also a Honokaa assistant coach, and mom Natalie Epenesa stood next to their son, waiting 10 minutes for the ambulance to arrive. The paramedics were careful in their handling of Sione, taking four minutes to load him into the van.
Sione Epenesa is fine now, no spinal cord injury and diagnosed with a neck sprain and slight concussion, his dad said. He's expected to miss two to three weeks, and will still have to pass Honokaa trainer Kahea Schuckert's battery of tests before he steps onto the field again.
But the experience, almost a week later, is still a vivid memory for his father Lala Epenesa, who's a 1985 Honokaa graduate and played football and baseball at the school, like his son.
"It was unreal, kind of scary," Lala said. "The doctor said he tweaked a nerve beyond a normal sprain. He lost feeling in his arms and legs. He's in top-shape now. They gave him an MRI, CAT scan. That night on the field, he said, 'Dad, I'm all right. I can go ahead.' I said, 'I don't think so pal.'
"The hospital was unreal. I guess they called ahead that it was a spinal and back injury. They had a whole crew waiting. I was impressed with the crew. They were unreal."
The hospital took precaution, constantly observing Sione, who's listed at 5 feet 11 and 180 pounds on Honokaa's roster. He was released early in the morning at 2:30 a.m. on Sunday.
"They kept doing tests and he slowly came back," Lala said. "He had a slight concussion because he forgot how he got in the ambulance. It was 2:30 a.m. when they decided to release him and not keep him overnight. The tests said he was OK."
Lala said he was also impressed with his wife's composure on the field, a game Hilo won 43-0. Natalie works for Helco, and he's employed by the county parks and recreation.
"She knew she had to be strong in front of him. That she couldn't just lose it," he said. "But I was surprised. I thought she would lose her mind.
"Initially, when I got there from what I saw, I thought he was OK. Then I was kind of freaking out myself. Our head coach (Bobby Embernate) calmed me down and our trainer Kahea. He could move one arm, but not the other. He had no feeling. The trainer said squeeze her finger. He thought he was, but it wasn't moving.
"I've seen him get hit way harder. It was a freak thing. He remembered getting hit in the side of the head in the pile-up. He got tweaked that way. In the Konawaena game (45-0 loss on Sept. 6), he was hit way more hard. It was just a freak thing."
Dad's advice
Lala has been a volunteer coach since Sione was a freshman. He joined the staff this season. Lala coaches the running backs, and instructs his son with not only running tips, but life lessons as well.
The most impactful advice is to hit the books.
"I tell him to study hard. If his grades are down, he can't play," Lala said. "I like him to be humble. There's always someone better than him out there. Last year, he struggled and got sent to summer school. That helped him plenty for this year. He's way more focused. He missed a couple of baseball games last season. That was an eye-opener for him.
"I tell him to have patience and use his vision and stay low when he runs. He loves playing safety, too, because they give the hits. But he likes running back. He likes carrying the ball and faking guys out. He said he likes cutbacks. He'll watch NFL games and see how guys are running. His role model is (Seattle Seahawk) Marshawn Lynch because he runs hard and tears it up as a downhill runner."
Sione is looking to play college ball in California, where his sister Amber, a 2006 Honokaa graduate, lives. But first, he's doing his best to provide leadership to a young, winless Dragons team — a point of pride for his father.
"This year, I've noticed he's taking in the younger kids. He knows what they're going through and he wants to make it easier for them, getting used to the plays, working hard in practice," Lala said. "He just pushes them to be better at every practice. I guess he learned that from the prior seniors. That's what I've seen. He's taking care of the younger players.
"Everyone likes to win. But from the start, he knew it was a young team. He's more into preparing them for next year. He's getting them ready for next year, helping the young guys."
Besides practical advice, Lala also presents a pretty good dry sense of humor, concerning the family's last name. It's spelled E-p-e-n-e-s-a.
"Oh, I've heard it announced worse. It's Samoan, not Spanish," he joked.
NFL rivals
The good humor carries into the Epenesa household when father and son watch NFL games. Sione's team is the struggling Pittsburgh Steelers (0-2). Dad's team is the Super Bowl favorite Denver Broncos (2-0).
Both teams are in different AFC divisions. The Steelers are in the AFC North and the Broncos in the AFC West. They aren't scheduled to play during the regular season.
Last year, Peyton Manning made his Denver debut a successful one in the season opener, throwing for a pair of touchdowns in a 31-19 win over Sione's Steelers.
And who could forget the last meeting in 2011? Certainly, not Lala.
"Oh, I like that," he said.
That AFC wild card game grew the legend of Tebow-mania. Tim Tebow, the currently unemployed quarterback, fired a wobbly 80-yard scoring pass on the first play of overtime in Denver's 29-23 upset of Pittsburgh.
When his Broncos thump the Steelers, especially in a playoff game, it's a good feeling for Lala, who earns household bragging rights. But a better feeling is seeing his son safe and healthy, after a harrowing experience.
Sione Epenesa will be on the field for today's game with visiting Kealakehe (1-3 overall, 1-2 BIIF) at Honokaa (0-4, 0-3). The senior Dragon running back/safety won't be in full uniform. But he'll be doing what he does best: pushing his teammates.
"I think he'll be down, not playing," Lala Epenesa said. "But he's a good team player. He'll be on the sidelines, cheering on and helping the young ones. He's already been helping us out at practice, too."

Ulcer Drug Goes Over-The-Counter
June 23, 2003
The Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved over-the-counter sales of Prilosec, the little purple ulcer and heartburn pill that not long ago was the top-selling prescription medicine in the world.
The decision benefits those who pay for the drug -- health insurers and people with no insurance -- and could roil the pharmaceutical industry.
- Prilosec is expected to sell for less than $1 a pill when it becomes available without a prescription this fall, compared with $4 a pill now.
- Few consumers who have health insurance will see any savings, because many managed care plans will stop paying for the drug altogether, health care executives said.
- But older people of limited means who have no health insurance other than Medicare, which does not cover prescription drugs, stand to save hundreds of dollars a year.
Patients who take similar drugs, like Nexium, Prevacid, Protonix and Aciphex, may soon find that their health insurers have made the medications more expensive or harder to obtain, managed care executives said. Health plans have already been increasing the co-payments that members must make to get the prescription ulcer and heartburn pills.
- Managed care executives say that over-the-counter medicines like Pepcid and even Tums work just fine for most sufferers.
- The average out-of-pocket cost for Prilosec is $23.94 for a 30-pill bottle, said Ann Smith, a Medco spokeswoman.
- For the other proton-pump inhibitors, she said, the average is $28.50.
Over-the-counter Prilosec is expected to have a retail price of $25 to $30 for a 30-pill bottle, and patients will no longer need to spend money and time seeing a physician to get it.

Los Angeles, CA (PressExposure) July 23, 2009 -- INTO THE PRESENCE RECREATE THE FABLED ROCK OF AGES WITH THEIR FIRST FULL-LENGTH SELF-TITLED ALBUM
Featuring Tim Alexander (Primus), prodigy guitarist Luis Maldonado, the earthy and steady bass of Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle) and sister Ana Lenchantin (Gnarls Barkley, Trent Reznor, The Eels) on cello.
ââInto The Presenceâ is superlative progressive rock and one of the best rock albums of the year.â Washington Post
Into the Presence is the long-awaited spark ignited by the joint effort between drummer Tim Alexander and guitarist/vocalist Luis Maldonado. The pair have now released their first full-length, self-titled album on Razor & Tie. Into the Presence is a 10-track odyssey of tunes which were recorded in true analog (tape machines and vintage outboard gear) creating a sweeping musical journey that is stripped down in its instrumentation but grand in its sonic landscape. The end result is an instantly accessible yet deceptively complex, dynamic rock record that gives a nod to rockâs past glories while creating a totally new and fresh statement.
âWhile we were recording in the studio we had a number of other-worldy experiences,â says Maldonado in an interview with RockWired.com (referring to Tim Alexanderâs studio in Jerome, Arizona, ghost town of lore). âWe always felt like there was a presence around us. There were whispers everywhere. It was interesting and bizarre at the same time. We would have bottles of water and one would be frozen and the rest would be fine. It was my idea after that whole experience to call the band Presence and rest of the band suggested that we call it Into the Presence.â
This otherworldly dynamic echoes throughout the album and resonates through their eclectic sound. Tim Alexander brings along his drumming expertise honed in heavy sounds. Luis Maldonado taps into his guitar virtuosity conjuring arpeggios and clever harmonies for songs like the accusatory and cathartic âEnd Game.â Into the Presence is truly the work of a celebrated pairing.
Luis Maldonado executes expert tremolo with a vocal range exploring heights akin to rock greats Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant, particularly in tracks like âLovers.â With a dash of The Mars Voltaâs Cedric Bixler-Zavalaâs stylistic hooks, Maldonado has created an exceptional vocal experience. Heâs built on his classical guitar training and expanded it with classic rock sounds of the late-60âs and early-70âs.
Into the Presenceâs sound is a revamped version of the stuff rock legends are made of. Still, theyâve managed to stamp their personal signature into this debut by making good use of all analog resources and vintage gear. Tim Alexander and Luis Maldonado enveloped their sound with a sense of rock antiquity. Their album became a reflection of vocals straight out of A Night at the Opera and instrumentation akin to Dark Side of the Moon. Into the Presence recreates that primordial time when rock found its bearings and took hold on the emerging scene for the rest of time.
âWe thought about when those [records] were made and what they had access to,â explains Maldonado. âAll those records sound amazing, but everything on there is an honest sound.â Itâs the fidelity to that sound which drives Into the Presence and makes them such a unique act. âWe recorded this album on a two-inch analog format so there was no digital,â continues Maldonado in the RockWired interview. âThere was no cutting and pasting or auto-tuning. The recording is an honest documentation of what went on in the studio.â
Maldonadoâs almost surreal vocals soar over the heavy rock riffs while the harmonious humming of cellist Ana Lenchantinâs pairs perfectly with her sister, Paz Lenchantin, contributing bass. Clearly, Into the Presence promises to stake their place amongst the bandâs very own rock heroes.

In recent weeks, Governor Eliot Spitzer and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver have expressed willingness to consider pay raises for all State Legislators this year. At a time when New York has a budget deficit of $4 billion, this issue should not be a priority.
In fact, many New Yorkers are currently struggling to make ends meet. Therefore, it is inappropriate for us, as elected representatives, to unilaterally grant ourselves a $20,000 per year salary increase. Our salaries are already the third-highest in the nation, and remember, this is part-time employment.
This is certainly not the way to gain public trust. An increase of this size would cost taxpayers more than $4 million per year. Is this any way to repay the men and women who depend upon us to be their voice in state government?

This one dish is probably my most favorite thing about Halloween. I think of my oldest brother when I make these- a few years ago, we visited them at their home out of state, and we stopped at the store, and the pumpkin truck was there. When one fell off the truck and cracked open, my brother asked the driver for it-- and was given it free of charge. We took the damaged pumpkin back to his home and toasted the seeds.
I came up with this variant of the recipe with the Chili Garlic Cholula that was sent to me. It gives it a nice savory flavor with a touch of garlic. Don't forget to salt them just before roasting; you want them salty!
450 degrees
15 - 20 minutes
Pumpkin seeds from 2 pumpkins
2 tbs Cholula Chili Garlic sauce
2 tbs butter
House seasoning
Separate seeds from pulp and rinse thoroughly in a bowl of water. Strain. Melt butter and chili garlic sauce in microwave. Preheat oven to 450. Pour sauce over strained seeds in a bowl. Give liberal shakes of house seasoning and toss with a spoon coating all seeds. Spread evenly 1 layer thick on a greased cookie sheet. Shake with salt if desired. Bake in the middle rack for 15 to 20 minutes, camping next to the oven. If seeds start to explode before time then they are done. Serve in a bowl or in soup.

With a staff of MDs, optometrists and opticians offering an all-inclusive range of medical and visual services, the practitioners at Eyesight wanted to give their Portsmouth, N.H. headquarters a visual boost. Moving to a new larger location—one that was better suited to meet the needs of both doctors and patients—the group called on the expertise of Fashion Optical Displays to give the new dispensary and waiting area dimension and character.
The goal in the new space is to showcase a unique mix of designer frames and sunwear in an environment that is both modern and relaxed, upscale and inviting, but also accessible to patients via a floorplan that allows easy browsing either from the dispensary or the reception area.
The result: an intimate, zen-like atmosphere that very nearly defies its expansive layout and scope.
Founded by Dr. Richard Chace in 1983, the practice cares for the needs of over 100,000 patients in more than 50 communities in southern New Hampshire, northern Maine and northern Massachusetts. There are four Eyesight locations, including the new facility in Portsmouth. "Dr. Chace and his team were incredible to work with," says Lori Estrada, designer for Fashion Optical Design. "We've been working together for 15 years and have designed four or five locations for them. They are very successful, very professional and very business-oriented. They know what they want, but are open to new ideas."
"Open to new ideas" led to a modern and creative direction in the new dispensary. With a budget of $85,000 for displays and reception area furnishings, Eyesight choose classic cherry wood finishes in a light stain for a modern contemporary feel. Upholstery patterns are mixed and matched in soothing green and vibrant shades of brick, for an end result that is at once unique and appealing. "We worked closely with Dr. Chace and his wife. It was very much a collaborative effort," adds Estrada.
Using a combination of cubbies, open shelving and frameboards, the majority of the inventory can be easily tried on by patients without having to track down someone to unlock a cabinet or reach behind a counter. Some of the more expensive frames, however, are kept secured.
Pendant lighting accents the interior and creates a focal point around a center island, which houses computer terminals, contact lenses and additional displays. "One of the great things about this location is the floorplan. They wanted the dispensary to be front and center, to be assessable; they wanted people to be able to browse while waiting for the doctor," explains Estrada. "And they accomplished that seamlessly. The waiting room and the dispensary are very well incorporated."
"This project was a lot of fun to work on," agrees Ginny Standen, Eyesight's practice administrator. "And we love the result. The time, effort and hard work we put into pulling it all together has benefited everyone. The patients are very impressed, and we feel we are better able to convey what we have to offer. Business has even picked up since we made the move."
