Blogger Outreach: A Tactic to Keep Your Strategy Fresh
Guest post by Kristen Matthews of GroupHigh
As outbound marketing tactics become obsolete, establishing relationships with bloggers who can promote your brand via word of mouth is becoming more important than ever.
Now that modern consumers are wired to tune out traditional ads and have the self-empowerment to research brands on their own, marketers and PR professionals are scrambling to fill the internet with good content about their brands and their client's brands.
The sweet spot lies in not only producing content that subtly links back to your brand but also establishing a balance of content about your brand produced by others. It all comes down to the fact that humans trust word of mouth recommendations over self-promotional garble.
This is where blogger outreach comes in ...

I am trying out MM as an alt. to iTunes
I am trying to reproduce the smart playlists I had in iTunes
I had playlists which for example, were "Latin" (genre <starts with> "Latin") , "Latin Mix" (genre <contains> "Latin")
I have had a go with the basic playlist, and notice if I put "Latin" in the genre it picks up any song with Latin anywhere in the genre (equivalent to my smart playlist - "Latin Mix"
does the paid version allow me to reproduce the other lists I mention above?

It's so touching when, in the cold of winter, we receive a warm email from a family sharing memories from last summer.
This one's from Stefanie: We visited Holiday World this past summer. Our daughter was two (she turned three in November).
She is still talking about Holiday World.
We role play Holiday World very often!
We will go to the loveseat and be on the log ride. The chair might be the scrambler. The sofa is the roller coaster.
It makes me so proud and happy she had such a memorable vacation at such a young age!
Thank you for offering this park for children such as my daughter to love as much as we did!
I don't know which of us is more excited to come back....our daughter, my husband or myself! What a great first family vacation!!! What a great memory! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Social media appears to be taking over even the most private room in the house.
A study from Nielsen found 32% of 18 to 24-year-olds use social networking while in the bathroom. That could be updating a Facebook status or sending a tweet.
The study also found we're spending more time on social media compared to last year. Increasingly, that time is spent using smart phones.

Stuart Orefice
Director of Dining Services
Princeton University
Princeton, N.J.
Stu Orefice loves basketball almost as much as he loves foodservice. Through his career in college foodservice he has found a way to satisfy both loves, by running the clock and scoreboard at basketball games for the institutions at which he's worked. Orefice talks about the thrill and the stress of this volunteer position.
"I've always liked basketball. I played and I was fairly decent. In my senior year of high school, at Tuckahoe High School in Westchester County, N.Y., I was actually a student assistant coach, the first in the school's history. I continued to enjoy the sport when I went to college, and when I came home on breaks I would always run the scoreboard at my old high school.
Snapshot |
Career: 10 years in dining services at Cornell University; 13 years as Dining Services director at Princeton Hometown: Eastchester, N.Y. Education: Graduate of Cornell University |
When I was in my senior year at Cornell, they needed someone to run the scoreboard for the home games, so I did it. A couple of years after graduation, after I took a hiatus in New York, I was working at Cornell and I became very friendly with the basketball coach. He asked me to do the book and the scoreboard during the games. I did that at Cornell for about seven years. When I came to Princeton, I knew the coaches through my relationship with the Cornell coaches. At one game I noticed that there was one student running back and forth, pouring water for the guys then running back and doing the scoreboard. So I went up to the coach and said, 'Are you shorthanded?' He said, 'Yes, we don't have anyone to run the scoreboard.' I said, 'Well, gee, I did it at Cornell for seven years, why don't I do it here?'
The first game that I had to do the scoreboard at Princeton was Cornell-Princeton. It was probably the slowest-scored game in Ivy League history because I [kept forgetting] who was the home team, after being at Cornell for seven years. But I've been doing it for 13 years here and it has been a very enjoyable part of my life.
Given my position in foodservice, I don't get an opportunity to coach, so it still keeps me in the game and keeps me current. And because I do this as a volunteer effort I feel as though I'm giving back to the community as well as providing a release from my day-to-day work in foodservice.
The most difficult part of working the scoreboard is toward the end of [a close] game, when there's less than a minute to go and everyone is standing up around you and you're trying to get a good sight line for the game. It's hard to concentrate because people are screaming. You have to stay focused and quite often, the folks will see me standing up just so I can get a good view. The other difficult part is before the TV time-outs, because you have to remind the officials. That can be stressful, especially when the referee ignores you. You're sitting at the table waving your arms, holding up a T, and they miss you, and that can be frustrating because then you have to wait for the next time out.
When you put up points for the wrong team, [everyone] is up, screaming at you. It's an honest mistake.
Regardless of whether I put it up incorrectly, the book is the most important thing at the table. Everybody knows which team scored the basket and so if I put it up incorrectly it doesn't affect the game.
My worst experience was one game at Cornell, where there were five seconds to go and we were trailing. I thought that as soon as we passed the ball in they were just going to run up and shoot the ball. Well, as it turns out, they passed the ball in and the coach calls a time out at half court. I had flipped the switch to start the clock and I had my hand resting on my head thinking, the game is over. I had to take my hand off my head and hit the button quickly, and the team probably lost about a half a second. It makes it very difficult when you're very good friends with the coach and with a lot of the players. You feel that you really hurt the team. As it turned out, we hit the shot and won the game, but for that fleeting moment I felt personally responsible."

It seems like there is a day or month devoted to everything these days. (Hello, National Talk Like A Pirate Day.) It's not surprising, then, that the world celebrates National Sleep Month in March. The funny thing is that given how important sleep is, we don't really take it very seriously. Really, have you even heard of it? Maybe it's time that we all begin paying attention.
Ready for some surprising numbers? Did you know that in the average lifetime, most of us spend about 208,185 hours of sleep? That's 8,674 days just sleeping! As for our bedding products, we spend about 20,000 hours on a mattress in its lifetime. That's 833 days of sleep on your mattress over the course of about seven years. Factor in that sleep (or the lack thereof) greatly impacts health–both physical and mental–and you begin to see that maybe the most important "awareness" month just may be National Sleep Month.
Throughout the month of March, we'll be offering tips and ideas for better sleep over on our Facebook page, all in honor of National Sleep Month. We wanted to start the month out, though, with some simple (and often free) tips and steps to create the ideal space for not just your best night's sleep but a whole year's worth of best nights. Here's to your…sleep!
Design your bedroom as a single-purpose space
Bedrooms were meant for one thing: rest and relaxation (sleeping, reading a good book, romance). We're all so busy that it can be tempting to use the bedroom as an extension of the office or as a family entertainment room full of DVDs, board games, and kids' toys. Your first step? Clear out the extra "stuff." Even if it means a mess in the living room for a day or so, move all the non-rest items out of your room. It may take some time to change your own mental image from what the room was to what it should be, but it will be worth the time and effort.
Banish bedroom clutter
After you've banished the non-bedroom essentials, it's time to straighten what is supposed to be there. One of the worst things you can do is make the entire bedroom your closet. Add shelving in the closet, buy some under-bed storage boxes, or get creative with storage ideas throughout the house…but give everything a place and keep it there!
Control dust bunnies
Dust can trigger allergies. Dust mites, those tiny microscopic creatures that live in all bedding–yes, everyone's bedding!–can even trigger asthma attacks. The easiest way to stop these problems is just simple, routine cleaning. Make sure your sheets are washed at least every week. Dust your furniture and sweep or vacuum. For even better allergen control, vacuum the mattress periodically, as well. Less dust can mean fewer nights spent stuffed up or sneezing.
Darken your windows
If light is infiltrating your room, you may find that you don't sleep. And we aren't just talking an early sunrise. Even the security light from your backdoor neighbor can sabotage your sleep. Try buying blackout curtains, or achieve the same effect by layering with blinds, sheers and drapes.
Find the right mattress and pillows
If your mattress is more than 7 years old, there's a very good chance that it is worn out. For pillows, the lifespan is even shorter…1 year. Besides the fact that bedding–mattresses, toppers, pillows–wear out and become less supportive, they also just become too allergen-riddled to save. Gross? Yes, but worth mentioning nonetheless. Here is one area Spa Sensations can help! Remember that a "good" mattress and pillow is personal choice. It isn't buying the most expensive that saves the day…it's the most comfortable for you.
Create a restful bedroom design that you love
Do you love your bedroom? Do you look forward to going there each evening…not just because your bed is there but because you love the room? If not, it's high time for a makeover. While red and charcoal colors look striking in home decor ads, these dense colors are not conducive to a great night's sleep. Studies show that mellow natural hues are more restful. Choose a linen color, a sage green, or a sea blue. They don't have to be soft and pastel; the goal is to use a tone that is earthy and meadow- or water-inspired.
Happy National Sleep Month! Take some time to consider your bedroom. Is it helping or hindering your restfulness? We would love to hear about what you've done to make your bedroom the best. Stop by and tell us on our Facebook page!

Here are a handful of my photo essays and other projects, most of them works-in-progress. I see my photography as a kind of short-form journalism, a way to tell a story and communicate an idea without using constructs and formulations. What I love most about photography is its intimacy. It speaks to the heart and captures the imagination, but without saying a word.
I've been documenting Burning Man for the past ten years. It's without doubt one of the world's hippest and most mind-blowing gatherings. The event is a week-long celebration of free-form creativity and radical self-expression held each summer in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Burning Man is tough to describe. It's not quite an art festival, not quite a desert rave, and not quite a social experiment — but something of all three. But why bother trying to describe it when the photos speak for themselves? This slideshow brings together some of the best Burning Man images from the past decade. For a general overview of my photography from the event, please click on the image above.
It's a place of uncommon natural beauty, an inland oasis surrounded by barren and unrelenting desert. But things are not quite what they seem at the Salton Sea. The lake is shrinking. The fish are dying. The birds are ailing. And the once-thriving communities along the shore are mostly abandoned. This photo essay attempts to capture the stark beauty of the place while also documenting the effects of environmental decline and devastation.
Santa Barbara's international film fest, which runs from the end of January through the first week of February, has become one of the better-known festivals of its kind in America and a critical stop for actors on the Oscar trail. The event typically draws about 70,000 people and features some 200 screenings, along with an impressive line-up of tributes, award shows, and panels with industry insiders. But the big stories always revolve around the celebrities, the beautiful people who come to town and, for a few days, transform the place into the epicenter of the entertainment world.
I Madonnari was the name given to street painters in 16th- and 17th-century Italy, itinerant artists who traveled from town to town and city to city rendering images of the Madonna on sidewalks and in public squares. The tradition of street painting lives on in cities across Europe and in a growing number of communities in North America. 2013 marked the 27th anniversary of the I Madonnari Festival in Santa Barbara, California. When it started in 1987, it was the only event of its kind in the United States. Today, it typically draws 25,000 visitors and renowned artists from across the country. (Parts of this photoessay were featured in the travel and lifestyle magazine Broughton Quarterly.)
California's Gap fire, which raged in the hills above Goleta and Santa Barbara, took top priority among several hundred wild fires burning across the state in July 2008. In just a few days, the blaze consumed over 8,000 acres and cut a swath several miles wide. These images capture something of the awesome force of the blaze on its third day as powerful "sundowner" winds forced the flames down the mountains and spewed thick smoke and ash into the skies above Santa Barbara. (See also my photos from the 2009 Jesusita Fire.)
The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Al Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The award ceremony in Oslo, Norway, brought together heads of state, prominent humanitarians, Hollywood celebrities, rock stars, and journalists from around the world.

Reviews for Cream of Wild Rice Soup(20)
Sort By :
We love this soup. I use a box of long grain and wild rice along with the seasoning packet and add a bunch of fresh mushrooms. That might help the reviewers who thought it was a bit bland.
If I would make this again, I think I would add more salt and/or some bacon. It was a little boring.
modified this like crazy to make it taste the way I thought it should. Added more chicken bouillon cubes,sherry and parsley. soup was too thin so i used a ton of mashed potato flakes and gradually introduced it back into pot. i pureed much of the veggies as well then re added them to the pot.
This is a keeper. The best cream soup I ever made!! I didn't have just wild rice, so I used a box of long grain and wild rice. Fantastic! Oh, and I also added a can of chopped mushrooms at the end.
I trusted the recommendations of others and made this soup for the first time. We really like it; I'll certainly be making it again. I put in extra carrots and celery.

Life, Interrupted: Brotherly Love
21 Mar
Photo Credit: Seamus McKiernan
There are a lot of things about having cancer in your 20s that feel absurd. One of those instances was when I found myself calling my brother Adam on Skype while he was studying abroad in Argentina to tell him that I had just been diagnosed with leukemia and that — no pressure — he was my only hope for a cure.
Today, my brother and I share almost identical DNA, the result of a successful bone marrow transplant I had last April using his healthy stem cells. But Adam and I couldn't be more different. Like a lot of siblings, we got along swimmingly at one moment and were in each other's hair the next. My younger brother by two years, he said I was a bossy older sister. I, of course, thought I knew best for my little brother and wanted him to see the world how I did. My brother is quieter, more reflective. I'm a chronic social butterfly who is probably a bit too impulsive and self-serious. I dreamed of dancing in the New York City Ballet, and he imagined himself playing in the N.B.A. While the sounds of the rapper Mos Def blared from Adam's room growing up, I practiced for concerto competitions. Friends joked that one of us had to be adopted. We even look different, some people say. But really, we're just siblings like any others.
When I was diagnosed with cancer at age 22, I learned just how much cancer affects families when it affects individuals. My doctors informed me that I had a high-risk form of leukemia and that a bone marrow transplant was my only shot at a cure. 'Did I have any siblings?' the doctors asked immediately. That would be my best chance to find a bone marrow match. Suddenly, everyone in our family was leaning on the little brother. He was in his last semester of college, and while his friends were applying to jobs and partying the final weeks of the school year away, he was soon shuttling from upstate New York to New York City for appointments with the transplant doctors.
I'd heard of organ transplants before, but what was a bone marrow transplant? The extent of my knowledge about bone marrow came from French cuisine: the fancy dish occasionally served with a side of toasted baguette.
Jokes aside, I learned that cancer patients become quick studies in the human body and how cancer treatment works. The thought of going through a bone marrow transplant, which in my case called for a life-threatening dose of chemotherapy followed by a total replacement of my body's bone marrow, was scary enough. But then I learned that finding a donor can be the scariest part of all.
It turns out that not all transplants are created equal. Without a match, the path to a cure becomes much less certain, in many cases even impossible. This is particularly true for minorities and people from mixed ethnic backgrounds, groups that are severely underrepresented in bone marrow registries. As a first generation American, the child of a Swiss mother and Tunisian father, I suddenly found myself in a scary place. My doctors worried that a global, harried search for a bone marrow match would delay critical treatment for my fast-moving leukemia.
That meant that my younger brother was my best hope — but my doctors were careful to measure hope with reality. Siblings are the best chance for a match, but a match only happens about 25 percent of the time.
To our relief, results showed that my brother was a perfect match: a 10-out-of-10 on the donor scale. It was only then that it struck me how lucky I had been. Doctors never said it this way, but without a match, my chances of living through the next year were low. I have met many people since who, after dozens of efforts to encourage potential bone marrow donors to sign up, still have not found a match. Adding your name to the bone marrow registry is quick, easy and painless — you can sign up at marrow.org — and it just takes a swab of a Q-tip to get your DNA. For cancer patients around the world, it could mean a cure.
The bone marrow transplant procedure itself can be dangerous, but it is swift, which makes it feel strangely anti-climactic. On "Day Zero," my brother's stem cells dripped into my veins from a hanging I.V. bag, and it was all over in minutes. Doctors tell me that the hardest part of the transplant is recovering from it. I've found that to be true, and I've also recognized that the same is true for Adam. As I slowly grow stronger, my little brother has assumed a caretaker role in my life. I carry his blood cells — the ones keeping me alive — and he is carrying the responsibility, and often fear and anxiety, of the loving onlooker. He tells me I'm still a bossy older sister. But our relationship is now changed forever. I have to look to him for support and guidance more than I ever have. He'll always be my little brother, but he's growing up fast.

LGBT Russians are "living through an all-out hatred campaign": Masha Gessen
Fox Sports Southwest has decided not to take on broadcaster Craig James because of past antigay comments.
Russia: A bill signed into law by Russian President Vladimir Putin bans the promotion of "non-traditional religions" to minors.
People can now be arrested and fined for wearing the star of David, a kippah, hijab, or even speaking about Judaism or Islam in a positive way. Essentially anywhere there could be minors anything seen as Jewish or Islamic has been banned. The ban also extends to corporations and journalists, who face harsher fines and, in the case of corporations, could be shut down for 90 days.
The government has also encouraged people to report to police on neighbours they think may be promoting Judaism or Islam to minors. Police recently raided the home of a prominent Jewish activist in Moscow after a member of the state Duma (Russian Parliament) reported on him to police. See the video below.
A new law has also been proposed by another member of the Duma that would remove children from their parents if one or both of them are Jewish or Muslim.
So far the IOC has refused to cancel or move the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in response to these new laws discriminating against religious minorities despite comparisons to the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
While leaders of various countries, including US President Barak Obama have denounced the laws, no sanctions have been made and all countries are still sending teams to the Olympics.
The IOC has said that they have assurances from the Russian government that all athletes and spectators of the games will be free from discrimination, however, the IOC has also stated that they will "discipline" any "proactive protest" against the law by athletes or team members at the games. There have also been comments made by some Russian officials that contradict the assurances the IOC have given. Russian minister of sport Vitaly Mutko has said that the Russian law would remain in place during the games and that anyone found to be violating the law would be held accountable.
None of the Olympic sponsors have backed out either. Some like Coca-cola and McDonald's have issued statements that they do not support the discrimination of Jewish and Muslim people and that "We are engaging with the International Olympic Committee on this important matter. We believe a more positive impact can be made through continued involvement, rather than by sitting on the sidelines".
If you think that these laws are abhorrent and that the reaction from the IOC, IOC sponsors, and international community has been pathetic then you should speak up and ensure that they know just how wrong it is. It should make no difference that the laws target the LGBT (or gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) people instead of religious minorities.
For some reason people seem to think that this makes these laws more acceptable. If it would be sick and disgusting for Russia to do this to Jews, Muslims, or to people of a specific race, if the international reaction to those laws would be equally disgusting then it should make no difference that the people being targeted are LGBT.
Stand up for what's right. Let your politicians, the IOC, FIFA, and the sponsors of the Sochi games know how despicable these laws and their reaction to them have been.

Most helpful review
One of the most filmed characters is well played by Russell Crowe, and with a different storyline
By roncoach (370 reviews) from suffolk , 02 Jul 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I have watched every Robin Hood film , from Douglas Fairbanks' Silent Epic, through the magnificent Errol Flynn version and everything in between, including all TV versions---
and this is , whilst quite different to the original fable and indeed English History, very watchable, and certainly a bit above average.
It has a dash of the humour that we associate with the 1939 classic, it has a serious side in line with the original myth, it is well cast, well written , well filmed in excellent locations.
And it is also a real swashbuckler----real Boy's Own stuff.
A rip-roaring treat. I was surprised, simply because Robin Hood is probably one of the most filmed characters in cinematic and TV history. I thought nothing more could be wrung out of the character, certainly as the 1939 5-star version is probably my favourite film of all time.
But the very different storyline ( quite different to any version I have ever seen) makes it interesting as a change in the whole compendium of Robin Hood film. No Prince John, just KING John; set with a very different fictional historical setting to the norm. It works.
I remember when I first saw 'Robin & Marion', the Sean Connery/Audrey Hepburn version, that it 'worked' because it changed the plotline in an interesting way. This Scott/Crowe version works for me in the same way, though with no similarities at all to 'Robin & Marion'.
Big budget film, real action and adventure, with a dash of the humour that also added even more appeal to the authoritative 1939 version, this 2010 film is above-average and well worth a watch, especially for those who like good old-fashioned ripping yarns and tales of derring-do- Was this review helpful to you?

A muscular take on the legend that delivers
By Big__Al (48 reviews) , 03 Jul 2013Despite the negative critical response, I thought the movie was brilliant. Loved all aspects especially the new take on the legend plus the acting was top notch. The score really fitted the movie well and bought about an emotional connection as it should. Overall, a very well made film from a very accomplished director. The credits at the end together with the excellent soundtrack were like a piece of art which bought an unexpected buzz! Purchased on blu ray for my collection as it was such an enjoyable experience on a 60' Plasma with true hd surround sound.- Was this review helpful to you?

a really good adaptation
By pebbles12398 (5 reviews) , 23 Jun 2013I really enjoyed this film, almost everything about it is great... the actors and actresses are all wonderful, the action is gripping and exciting and the storyline is from a little earlier on, mostly before he became an outlaw which is interesting. I could watch this film over and over and it wouldn't get boring. The only slight thing wrong is one or 2 minor historical inaccuracies (but I only noticed them when I read about it online!!!)- Was this review helpful to you?

This is a very different view of Robbin Hood and it is good.
By a customer , 12 Jun 2013My wife and I thought the film was very good. I suppose we were expecting the usual riding through Sherwood Forest ,robbing the rich to save the poor and all the usual stuff we all know so well. Not a bit of it and in fact I only recall one such episode. This film is about Richard the third fighting and getting killed in France ---to be succeeded by bad brother King John. Some of the main scenes must have contained thousands of extras and the photograpy of both the French and British armys were spectacular---as were some of the channel sea voyages and invasion. The film ends where all the other Robin Hoods are beginning.- Was this review helpful to you?

Undefeated Albion tops DePauw in Rokicki title game
November 28, 2004
GREENCASTLE, Ind. - Visiting Albion scored the final 11 points of the first half and opened the second half with a 7-3 run on the way to a 75-64 victory over DePauw in the championship game of the second annual Mike Rokicki Community Versus Cancer Challenge. Albion improved to 4-0 with the win, while the Tigers dropped to 2-2. Washington (Mo.) won the consolation game with a 94-53 victory over Wisconsin Lutheran.
The Tigers led nearly the entire first half including a 10-point advantage at 22-12 after Brian Oilar's layup with 12:53 left in the half. Austin Brown hit a pair of free throws with 3:12 reamining in the half to give DePauw a 36-31 lead before the Britons closed the half with 11 straight points in the final 2:54.
Albion stretched the lead to 11 at 67-56 after Brandon Crawford's three-point play with 5:16 remaining. Steve Schott brought the Tigers back to within four at 67-63 with a three-pointer, a jumper and two free throws in a span of 2:38.
Mike Thomas' three-point play with 2:18 remaining and Crawford's layup with 1:01 left pushed the Briton's margin back to nine.
Schott and Reid Sakel (pictured below) led DePauw with 14 points apiece, while Alex Stewart (pictured above) added 13 and Oilar followed with 11. Travis DePree paced Albion with 18 with Thomas adding 17, Crawford 15 and Lonny Fulse 11.
The Tigers shot 48.9 percent from the floor, while Albion connected on 48.3 percent from the field. DePauw held a 28-26 advantage on the boards with Oilar and Todd Capes each grabbing six. DePree hauled down nine for Albion along with dishing out four assists, blocking two shots and recording two steals. The Britons committed just eight turnovers in the win.
Thomas was named the tournament's most valuable player, while DePree, Stewart, Washington's Anthony Hollins and Wisconsin Lutheran's Kevin Christensen were also named to the all-tournament team.
DePauw returns to action on Wednesday, December 1, when it hosts Wabash at 7:30 p.m.

Sometimes I'll just grab a few table wines at random from the wine shop. My primary motivation is to try something I haven't had before, and depending on time constraints and selection I'll either wander around for an hour looking for hidden gems or I'll just grab whatever's shiny and new near the register.
In the latter mindset I picked up a pair of bottles from Tin Roof Cellars.
The 2007 Tin Roof Sauvignon Blanc is from the Central Coast of California. $10, 13.5% abv. Tart citrus aromas and flavor, with a creamy finish and just a hint of burnt sugar somewhere in the back. So basically, a lemon meringue pie without the sweetness.
The 2006 Tin Roof Merlot is from North/Central Coasts of California, and wasn't as enjoyable. $10, 13.5% abv. Jammy blackberry profile with a harsh tannic finish. No flaws, but really strong and rough for a four-year-old wine.
Served and sampled with breakfast for dinner: a western omelet with sourdough toast topped with blackstrap molasses. I've typically always got the ingredients to make something like this on hand, and an evening omelet is a great way to use up whatever leftovers you've got lying around.

Nothing like a good evening omelet.
Did you mean this for the newer thread? Regardless, these little 24 year old whippersnappers are making me feel ancient. :)

NP Rank:
Is breaking-up that excruciating after all…?
When you have finally come to the realization that something in your relationship is definitely not working for you, what are your options? You can maintain the status quo by keeping the relationship as it is. The problem is that it implies that you must keep on blindfolding yourself. Or you have the possibility to initiate a conversation with your partner and speak openly about the issues that are troubling you, so you can pro-actively identify pertinent solutions that will benefit you as well as all the other parties who are involved in the equation. As attractive as the second option always sounds, it is often times the first option that is selected. Why is that?
There are folks who incessantly judge their partner's behavior as abnormal, disrespectful, belittling, dishonoring, mean and diminishing. And yet, they continue to endure what they know is wrong and they stay in the relationship. They elect to suppress all their frustrations, resentment and anger instead of addressing them. They give up on themselves rather than reacting adequately to the situation and being truthful to their feelings. By doing so, they choose to widen the separation that already exists in lieu of narrowing and then potentially closing the gap to create a brand new momentum for the relation.
Have people decided that breaking-up was utterly excruciating? Have they concluded that it is in reality so much more comfortable to stay put and suffer? What if suffering were in reality a deliberate choice? For many people, it even gives their lives a meaning, something that they can share with the herds of miserable men and women who surround them. So they can never feel alone.
:::: Should the relationship be more important than you?
Why are there so many horrendous relationships out there? Who do you know never complains about his or her mate? Who do you know is entirely fulfilled in a relationship with another individual? For some, to be fulfilled only refers to the ability to acquire material goods at any time and without restriction. Only then can they truly feel alive. They need a provider. And as long as the partner continues to give them the resources to push this agenda, the connection remains optimal. For others, it is solely about being involved with someone for the sake of being in a relation. And the motivations range from the fear of being alone to having to conform to what others expect of them. What does being totally fulfilled in your relationship mean to you? What definition have you constructed and then embraced? Look at it, and wonder whether this definition is preventing you today from truly emancipating yourself and growing exponentially.
How many times have you known that you desperately needed to get out of a relationship before suddenly changing your mind? Do you remember what motivated this abrupt turnaround? Was it the fear of having to face your responsibilities and be accountable for committing yourself to this dreadful relation in the first place? Was it the apprehension of creating even more turmoil… in your partner's life? Was it the utter refusal to stand for your own self and choose what was required from you at this moment? Was it cowardice? What encourages individuals to deliberately stay in an environment within which absolutely no expansion can be generated? What triggers such persistence, when they relentlessly try to make something that is doomed to fail work? Do they know that those types of choices condemn them to live a life, which is filled with successions of sufferings and disillusions? Do they know that inside they are dying, slowly but surely? Are you currently dying inside your marriage? Do you actually exist in any of your relationships? Are you able to voice your viewpoints freely and without apprehension, or do you systematically feel the need to suppress them, so you do not create any troubles? Every single time you suppress yourself, how does it make you feel? Can you be entirely satisfied? Or do you continue to corrode every single part of what you are? Be aware that at some point, there will be nothing left of you.
A destructive piece of programming to which most people have been subjected refers to the absolute need to preserve the relationship at all costs. How often have you shared with parents or friends your desires to regain your freedom after having spent way too much time in a bad and counter-productive relation? And how many times were your desires discounted if not totally dismissed? In this society, it is more important to maintain the status quo than it is to choose for yourself. And this conditioning is definitely not limited to relationships. It is about everything else. In other words, it is your duty to accommodate anyone else before you even start thinking of you. How often have you heard insane reactions such as, "How dare you be so difficult? Your husband works so hard, so what if he screamed at you last night! He needed to vent! He's just tired! Instead of being so selfish, you should have compassion for him!" The latter is totally crazy yet extremely common. For your own sake, it cannot depict the way you choose to assess and then treat a situation in your relation with another individual.
::: Is a relationship like a safety net?
Safety nets DO NOT exist!
Next topic…
::: What prevents you from being yourself in all your relations?
The fear to upset the partner is certainly the biggest reason that prevents individuals from sharing freely their concerns about a specific issue. This dynamic is what gives its full-on meaning to the expression "to walk on eggshells." In other words, "I am ready to do whatever it takes to keep the peace in the relation!" But what peace is there to preserve, anyway? Everything has already been shattered, hence the absolute necessity to walk on eggshells at all times. The total absence of peace is what pushes people to suppress what they are, because they are afraid of reactions and possible acts of retaliation. There is no peace. This is hell. When you refrain from expressing yourself and tackling an issue which you know is affecting the quality of the relation that you have with your mate, the relationship has ceased to exist. Can it still be revived? Everything is always possible, as long as both parties are on the exact same wave length and are ready to pro-actively treat the core of the problem. But who is sufficiently honest with oneself to embark on such a shaky and certainly unpleasant adventure? It definitely takes a lot of courage and the willingness to hear what the other has to say without reacting to it.
Most of the conditioning that has been shoved down people's throats since their early childhood is a total aversion to their being truthfully honest with their own selves. It basically denies you of your right to know what is required for creating an expansive and joyful life. Per this society, what supersedes everything else is to unilaterally embrace what the common denominator dictates. If you bow to the common denominator, you are safe. You do not make any waves and everybody is pleased with your docile and obedient behavior. You do not disrupt how society as a whole functions. Allow yourself to be guided, and nothing bad can ever happen to you. From this perspective, how are you able to address anything that you view as disturbing? Why would you, anyway? Do you really want to be accountable for sabotaging this mechanism that makes this highly messed-up world what it is today? Would you defy fatalism by bringing solutions that would make it a much more breathable place? Think twice, because it goes against what everyone else expects from you!
Do you have to share your concerns about what is going on in your relationships, so you can prove to yourself and others that you count? If you are aware that your friend, partner, spouse or parent is utterly unable to hear what you have to say, for what reason would you proceed with the intention of opening your heart? Do you have to tell it all, anyway? Or have you decided that you owed everyone an explanation about the choices that you make in your life? If the latter tends to rule your existence, remember how many times you were disappointed after having shared your viewpoints. How often were your positions, convictions and awareness totally dismissed, because they did not fit what is commonly acceptable? You do not owe anyone anything. When you are in reality all alone in your relationship or your marriage, and you know that you must leave it not only to preserve your own sanity but also to resume growing, you are free to do so without having to justify your choice to anyone. Your justifications would not be heard, anyway.
The choice to speak up about an issue shows your willingness to be honest with what is going on in your life. By doing so, you clearly demonstrate that you are willing to be truthful with your own self. But it is not necessarily pleasant and comfortable. So many people cannot handle the realization that they have been involved in dreadful marriages for over twenty years. To acknowledge the truth can be assimilated to receiving a violent slap in the face. To act upon it can sometimes be compared to being run over by a giant bulldozer. However, the rewards are always tremendous and extremely quick to come.

There is a group of students at Hanover Street Elementary School that can tell you about the preferred habitat of the ruffed grouse or the different colors found on the ring-necked pheasant.
They've been studying such things since January and will put their collective knowledge to the test on Tuesday when they compete in the annual York County Envirothon at John C. Rudy County Park.
In a daylong competition against teams from other schools, two teams of third- and fourth-graders, calling themselves the Wildlife Researchers, will be asked to identify and answer questions about animals, trees, plants and fish that are native to Pennsylvania.
This is the 27th year for the York County Envirothon, which is coordinated by the York County Conservation District and sponsored by a host of local agencies and organizations.
Nearly 1,000 students, from third through 12th grade are competing this year. York County is one of the few counties in the state that has expanded the competition to include elementary and middle-school students.
Envirothon team coach Matt Mowrey said the program offers students a chance to pursue their interests beyond what they often get in the classroom.
"It gives them an opportunity to go to another level that they might not have had," he said. "This gives them a chance to interact with each other as they prepare for this."
"Sometimes, we think we don't have enough time to get into sciences. This is a great way to hit that," said Mark Hershner, Hanover Street Elementary principal. "It's a great hands-on thing as well."
Fourth-grader Emily Crouse competed at the Envirothon last year and will be one of the team captains Tuesday.
"I wasn't too sure about it in the beginning. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like because it was my first year," she said. "But once I got to know everyone and my coaches and what I was learning about, I really liked it.
"It helps that I was there last year and I know what it is like but it's still going to be a rush," Emily added. "We're (fourth-graders) expected to help the younger ones."
Fellow fourth-grader Sam Piatt said the competition is challenging - and fun.
"It's pretty hard, but some of it is pretty easy too," he said. "It's good to have captains."
For students, it's also provided them an understanding of their nature surroundings, from parks to their own backyards.
"I do get to see some wildlife that we learned about here out on my own," said Crouse, who made a point to go to Codorus State Park last year to see the ospreys, blue herons and other creatures she learned about.
"Once I got in it, my life changed, being able to identify things I couldn't before," said Piatt, who said his favorite animals are osprey and other birds.
Jesse Israilian said it takes a lot of studying. "Or else you can't really answer the questions," she explained
The students have been meeting for an hour after school each Thursday, going over aquatics, forestry, wildlife and current issues. Mowrey and fellow Envirothon coach Deb Wildasin present study guides for the students and go over as much information as they can but themselves aren't sure specifically what will be included in the competition.
"It's all directly related to Pennsylvania," Mowrey said.
"It can be very relative to what is going on," said Hershner, who coached Envirothon teams during his time at Spring Grove Area School District. "Every year they're pretty timely with the issues."
Hershner stopped in at Thursday's last study session to congratulate the students on their hard work and offer some words of encouragement before the competition.
"I know firsthand how much effort it takes to do this," he told them. "It's a fun type of thing to do and it's very rewarding."
Participating students receive an Envirothon T-shirt, a collector's medallion and a participation certificate, something Mowrey said reinforces the spirit of learning.
"They give you levels of accomplishment. It's not win, lose or go home," Mowrey said.
"Anytime you can take kids and have them compete academically, it's good," Hershner said. "Kids just think it's a lot of fun."

Every kid has problems. Every kid has even more problems when they move to a new home. But when a kid with problems moves to a new home that has a Demon living inside it—look out! Etta's world is about to spin out of control when she encounters her new roommate—and Rahovart, that ancient trickster, is in for a few surprises too. So don't mind all the crashing and rumbling; that's just the normal noise Angels and Demons make when they're fighting an epic war in the attic. One thing's for sure: Etta and Rahovart will have to go through Hell to Heaven and back again before that old Victorian home in Quantico Town finally quiets down…
"Don't you dare," Etta said, but before she could get up. I had already caught up to her dad. Flashes of Etta screaming, blood, hospital rooms, and pain filled Mr. Divad. Of everything a forty-something-year-old Marine could have possibly gone through, all he saw was his daughter's pain? Oh, there must have been something else going on. Viewing the flashes, I stopped at one that I had seen before. I watched the scene play out. Etta lay in a crimson red bath water. Her tears fell on her bleeding wrists. Etta's mom screamed "John!" over and over again. Then Mr. Divad, John Divad, in a white tank top and light blue boxer shorts, barreled into the poorly lit stale beige bathroom. I paused John's thoughts to better examine the details. Over the toilet was a small window. On the other side of the window blazed my Hell. Darkness streaked by flames, but in that Hell, a face stared in through the glass, smiling. I didn't need to see any more. Popping out of John, I met Etta's angry glare. She didn't need to say a word. I walked to our room and took my spot in the attic just above the closet, where I enjoyed watching rats burrow and build little homes for themselves. One of my favorite pastimes was to put a couple of them in an empty box, let them starve for a bit, and then throw a scrap of food in and watch as they tore each other apart. They were my little minions, always great for a scare. One of my favorite tricks involved dropping one on the dining room table during a dinner party. But there would be no playing with the rodents tonight. The face in window bothered me. If the Divads had already experienced a Demon, it could pose a serious problem for me. That would also explain not seeing any attacker in Etta's thoughts. Demons aren't the same as ghosts. First off, ghosts aren't real. Second, Demons are bound to an item, person, or property. Demons have the option of following a family or person if we choose, moving from one house to another, continually torturing a person. It's a rare occurrence, but if one is lucky enough to find a person or place that either generates enough fear or is so despicably horrible to fuel the power needed to exist on Earth, then you can bet he wouldn't just let them waltz out of his life. Another problem is that no two Demons can occupy the same place or own the same person. If the Divads had in fact lived with a Demon before, I might be getting a very unwelcome guest. Although he would own whichever family member he attached to, I would rightfully own this property. Should the unwelcome guest appear, we would have to fight for both. I had no interest in a turf war, but I wouldn't give up my home so some other jerk could move right in. My only hope was that, like me, he'd decided to stay at Etta's last home and torment the next family. To be safe, I had to get rid of the Divads, and soon.

A few things about this picture struck me. First, it's very "where's waldo?". Second, some of those people are putting some real faith in the fact that these guys are pros and can control their shots, and finally, Tiger Woods can draw one heck of a crowd.

In the wake of the controversy, the group's website has password protected all its links. "They've locked themselves off to the world!" says Strzalkowski. "No one should be that high up on their pedestal."
Bragg brass says their power is limited. That's because, according to Fort Bragg Garrison Commander Col. Jeffrey Sanborn, the club is a private group, not a military one. Sanborn declined an interview with CNN, but he e-mailed statements saying he explained that in person to Broadway and her wife.
Officially, Sanborn has the power only to ensure "all private organizations operating on Fort Bragg comply with Department of Defense and Army regulations and with U.S. laws."
And the spouse club's bylaws, constitution and conduct do comply with DOD regulations.
"C'mon, really? That's a little disingenuous," said UCLA's Belkin. "When you're the commander at Fort Bragg, you are close to having godlike status in your community."
Sanborn could deny the club access to the base, Belkin said.
"He could tell service members not to participate. There are a lot of ways to send a signal that you disapprove."
At home this week, Broadway and Mack are busy around the house. Mack is days away from giving birth. Broadway talks as she heads home from a visit to the doctor.
After all this, does Broadway still want to be part of the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses?
"Honestly, I'm torn," she said. "Each day that goes by, they are saying they don't want me. I check my spam folder every day to make sure I haven't missed a message from them.
"I wonder if it would be best if I focus on a group who would value me."

Posted: Dec 4, 2012 3:33 PM
PHOENIX (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has denied last-minute appeals on behalf of an Arizona death-row inmate scheduled for execution Wednesday.
The Supreme Court declined without comment to block the execution of Richard Dale Stokley.
Stokley and another man were convicted of murdering 13-year-olds Mandy Meyers and Mary Snyder in rural Cochise County in 1991.
Stokley's lawyers said he was entitled to a new hearing on sentencing evidence. They also said his constitutional rights are being violated because another man convicted in the case has been released after serving 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors said the Arizona Supreme Court adequately considered evidence on possible leniency for Stokley. Prosecutors defend the disparity in sentences by saying the other man negotiated a plea agreement.

Buddhists across Asia release wildlife as a show of compassion, but conservationists find that the practice tortures the animals and may impact threatened species
August 1, 2012 | 4
'may' and 'could'? Junk science. I call shenanigans and come back when there's actual concrete evidence. Too much emphasis on issues on the basis of 'maybe's' and enough is enough.

"Gilbert imagines programs forged between researchers and Buddhist communities in which declining native species are captive-bred and then released by practitioners. The Society for Conservation Biology and Buddhist communities are already exploring initial ways of doing this."
While I don't imagine releasing gharials per se, I can imagine turning to local people and training them to nurture the species, and in return being allowed to harvest some of what they raise to sell to make money to survive instead of the current system where all contact is illegal.

Hayden turns 8 months old tomorrow and I can't believe how fast it's going the third time around. Having 3 kids, especially 2 older kids with lots of activities, is keeping me more busy than I ever thought possible. Many days go by like a blur between taking care of baby, working, homework and cooking dinner, that some days I find myself standing for all my meals, and I can barely remember drinking a cup of water all day. I'd like to take better care of myself, because a healthy and happy momma makes for a healthy and happy family. Here are 3 simple things I can do to take better care of me, and I'm going to start tomorrow!
Caffeine Fix
Caffeine Fix
It's really no surprise that caffeine is many a mom's best friend. And while I don't usually have more than 1-1.5 cups of coffee a day, I do find myself going to coffee first, before breakfast and water, first thing in the morning. Many times it's 11 am before I realize all I've had is coffee, and I haven't eaten a thing or taken one sip of water. Starting tomorrow, breakfast and a cup of H2O, then coffee! Please hold me to it!

Balanced Meals
Balanced Meals
This is a picture of my lunch yesterday; a few sesame crackers spread with brie cheese, and a Perrier, gobbled down at my desk while baby was napping and I was writing. Horribly unbalanced to say the least. I want to focus not only on taking some time to make myself a decent lunch, but eating it outside or at least at the dining room table; not at my desk while typing away!
Take Your Vitamins!
Take Your Vitamins
It literally takes less than a minute to take my vitamins each day, but sadly I can't remember the last time I've actually taken the time to take them! Between nursing, middle of the night wakings, and an active life and schedule, I need all the extra help I can get so I really need to do a better job of taking my vitamins! Maybe I'll get one of those boxes and set it at my bed each night so I don't forget!
So how about you? Do you find yourself taking the time to do the little things that will help you better take care of yourself? And if so, how do you remember to, or find the time to? Or are you like me, and need to do a better job of setting aside time so that you can do the things you need to do for your own health and well being?

Tower Falls On Newspaper Building
Feb 20th, 2013 | By Jacob | Category: Front Page
A woman, driving a rental truck, delivering cell tower equipment to a site behind Greene Publishing, Inc., ran into the guide wires and pulled the tower down. A massive boom was heard as the 170-foot steel structure fell on top of the building, part of it coming through the roof. The highest part of the structure was entangled in trees across a dirt road at the office.
No one was injured as the tower fell.
The tower had previously been used for TV3, but was now being used for the radio station. The tower falling knocked the radio station off the air, but it should be back up soon.
More details as they become available. More photos available at Greene Publishing, Inc. Facebook page.
