COALINGA, Calif. — Farm organizations across the country are condemning what appears to be an animal rights-led act of arson against Harris Ranch, located in Coalinga, Calif.
An organization called Animal Liberation Front forwarded an anonymous email in which unnamed animal rights activists take credit for fires set to 14 cattle trucks Jan. 8.
The message, from an anonymous source, claims digital timers were used to light containers of accelerant placed beneath the trucks. Officials still have not determined if the fire was caused by the activists.
But Mike Casey, vice president of risk management and human resources for the farm, said there are plenty clues pointing to a "definite" arson, something that was "definitely set."
The local sheriff's office, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the county's crime task force are reviewing "multitudes of clues," Casey said.
The author of the message wrote, "We weren't sure how well this was going to work, so we waited until there was news reports before writing this. We were extremely pleased to see that all 14 trucks 'were a total loss' with some being 'completely melted to the ground.'"
The writer of the message identifies "factory farming" as his enemy and says this act is just one of many necessary to achieve his or her goals.
"Despite guards, a constant worker presence, and razorwire fence, the enemy is still vulnerable. …" the person wrote. "There is a lot of stuff that needs to be destroyed and we can't count on spontaneous combustion and careless welders to do all the work."
Casey said the issue at hand is arson, and the incident should not be used to give publicity to unlawful activists.
"You want people to know these people are out there, but at the same time you don't want to give them a lot of press," he said.
Bill Donald, president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, condemned the alleged attack as unlawful extremist behavior.
"This is not only an attack on a family-owned and operated business; this is a domestic terrorist attack on our nation's providers of food and fiber," he said in a statement. "This extremist behavior goes above mere activism and the freedom of speech. These criminals are threatening lives and causing substantial economic harm."
The Animal Agriculture Alliance, a national organization that supports livestock farmers, reminds producers that ALF is listed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a domestic terrorist organization.
Although the ALF only acted as the communicator for the violent acts, the ag alliance said all extremist organizations share similar goals.
"While other extreme organizations may choose strategic action that does not include direct violence, they do share ALF's ultimate goal: to eliminate American animal agriculture in entirety," according to a media statement from the alliance. "This incident shines light on the need for the agricultural community to be able to protect itself from these senseless bullying tactics by those who seek to destroy the industry by any means."
hsus supports these grouups,if you look up the fbi profile you will see where hsus is also listed,and ohio has let these groups take controll of this state when it comes to our livestock and other animals.These groups are very dangerous and dont care who or what they hurt!
Factory farming is cruel. I don't condone this activity but the farmers of these animals are profit mongers and the cows and livestock suffer. I would consider this more civil disobedience than any kind of terrorism. We have no voice. These corporations are helping to destroy what could be a peaceful and humane society. These corporations are very dangerous and don't care who or what they hurt!
The FBI considers this terrorism, and it's only a matter of time before these anti-societal fanatics are caught and punished. It is domestic terrorism to destroy a business!!! We the people need to be very vocal and firm with authorities, and INSIST that they bring these terrorists to justice. How arrogant these ALF supporters are to consider themselves the "voice" of animals.
I totally agree. They are not the voice of animals. Seeing how they treated the beagles they stole from a University in the UK told me worlds about how they feel about the animals. (and dozens of other examples) They were lofting a heavily pregnant bitch in the air to show her belly as a way to gloat on line and the abject terror on the face of that poor bitch was wrenching. Did they care if she was afraid or uncomfortable? No. They didn't even notice because they don't care about the animals nor understand how to meet their needs. They care about control. They dysfunctionally crave control like a drug. If it wasn't this issue it would be some other.
@glenn you are ignorant. Have you worked at these so called factory farms? Have you personally witnessed cattle and livestock suffer? People with your mentality are the problem. I have seen horrible people like you fighting farmers and ranchers since I was a child. I grew up in a farm in IA, we raised cattle and hogs and I grew up riding horses and rodeoing. I have been the target of PETA supporters for my "cruelty" to my horses because I was riding them. I was involved in 4-h and had meat thrown at me at the State Fair as I walked into the exhibitor ring. Obviously you do not understand the concept that if these so called profit monger farmers you speak of allow their livestock to suffer, that means they have unhealthy cattle and those do not equal profit. I would suggest you spend some time with a rancher and see what their daily life is like. You would have an eye opening experience and realize that ranchers spend their days feeding, vaccinating, and yes caring for their animals. PETA, ALF, and groups like HSUS are NO better than terrorists over seas who attack our country. They use propaganda like videos of animals being terrorized or beaten but get this, they are the ones doing the harm so they have the propaganda to get people like you who are sadly misinformed, on their side. I hope that someday you will realize that you are the problem, no farmers and ranchers!
Your the one that is ignorant. I grew up in smalltown Texas and witnessed the cruelty to animals. Did not know what to do about it until I moved to Austin where the movement is strong. Direct action to stop the actions of the people involved in making profits off of abused animals is a very noble thing to do. Support the ALF.
Why am I not surprised that this kind of hype is coming out of a college town. One day these college students will look back and wonder how they came to be such sheeple. But really the fault is ours. We allowed Universities to accept money from radicals for "chairs" and then sent our impressionable youth to study there. Money doesn't talk it screams. Ignorance has become a mantra of misinformation. It took radical animal rights groups 30 years to tell the big lies long enough to have them part of the culture. We won't take the culture back over night. They did it by cheating using Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: 1st "Tell a really big lie. Then repeat it over and over till it is believed." "Never repeat any truth that does not push the agenda." "Hurt individuals. Individuals bleed, corporations don't bleed" This is the way the dialog was taken over by radical animal rights vegans. It's not enough for them that they choose not to eat meat they want to make sure no one eats meat. One of their goals is to make eating meat and other animal products more expensive by attacking farmers. Sadly this choice of being vegan adversely affects the brain causing increased mental illness. Children have died from being forced to eat in this way. How many more children have had their mental abilities reduced or harmed from this kind of diet as children. Instead of drinking the Kool-Aid try becoming truly informed.
So this actually could be a good conversation by the looks of it 'IF' everyone stops throwing dirt. Look my last comment was a quick statement on what I feel is wrong with the situation. Like the rest of you I am sure time is an issue for you in your effort to put such important thoughts to paper so let me try again. I drive Interstate 5 all the time and I see the dairies and feedlots up and down the valley. It doesn't take a lot of brains to see that the best interest of the animals is not at the heart of these industries. The conditions in the small dairies north of Lathrop are pathetic. They live on piles of their own crap and when it rains that is their only refuge from the lake of 'water' that surrounds them. Want to talk about cruelty to animals? I honestly can not believe they get away with it. It should be a crime. Again it doesn't take much thought to understand the corporate influence on these industries. I feel bad for the farmers as well compromising their personal morals to make a living and having no choice. The feed lots that sprang up over the last five years at the south end of the valley, obviously built to feed Hell-A, are another crime. If you drive threw that area on a cold morning the methane is so thick it makes your eyes water and hurts your throat. Is this humane? What I believe is that animals should be treated with a minimum level of decency and if it is painful for me to drive the valley once in a while I can only imagine the long term effects on workers and the livestock. It isn't right. Call me ignorant all you want. It is ultimately your loss of understanding which will prolong the agony of this situation for all involved. The day will come on earth as in heaven and so will your day of understanding. The factory farms and those behind their profit based motives will have to change to see a truly just, humane and peaceful society. They can not possibly believe in much if they can do what they do.
Finally someone talking sense, rather than spewing irrational and uninformed rants.
So Kelly let me answer you more directly now. Most farmers are good and moral people who deserve to make a honest living. Did your farm look like the feedlots and dairies I am talking about? If not I am not talking to you. You need to be clear whose side you are on. Family farmers or corporate profit mongers? No single individual is responsible for these acts of cruelty – we all are and unfortunately we have lost our voice. Unfortunately we have lost our way.
What is the difference in ALF and HSUS or ARC, they cross state lines to ruin business and end legiment business? It would be good if we all look at the Animal Enterprise Terriorism act again.
The real terrorist are the workers and owners that participate in factory farming. Anyone that makes money off the suffering of animals is a terrorist. Anonymous
Get your B12 checked and step away from the koolaide
Vegans have induced mental illness in themselves by depriving themselves of meat products. This is the result. There should be a law if you choose to be vegan you have to have mandatory blood tests to make sure you're not so deprived you are becoming psychotic.
I'll keep it simple. If you actually want to learn something about the meat and dairy you so vigorisly advocate watch 'Forks over Knives'. FYI I do consume meat just not a lot. Mostly lingua – yuuummm!
The term "animal rights" is not understood by far too many people who think it is synonymous with "animal welfare". The AR philosophy is WAY different from the AW philosophy. A campaign is needed to make the term "animal rights" socially unacceptable, like a curse word. The extreme AR groups are domestic terrorists in their actions, and the wily ones (e.g., H$U$ and its many subsidiaries) are like wolves in sheep's clothing, asking for "reasonable" compromise, when that is NOT what they ultimately want. They are masters at "moving the middle" (google the term for strategy) and *incremental* legislation to make involvement in animal industries (whether as pets, food, or clothes) expensive, more stressful, and socially unacceptable. Not gonna happen ultimately because of our society's close bond with animals–BUT before the AR movement cycle is on the downward curve again, there continues to be LOTS of "collateral damage" to humans and animals (all acceptable in the AR anti-societal philosophy: "the end justifies the means").
I tend to agree with what you have said. Surprise surprise to some I am sure. Some of these groups are extreme in their views for sure, but I will not stand by and watch 'industry' treat animals the way they do to make a buck off of people that don't even know what a cow looks like. My moral compass does not allow it. I am glad I have helped create an industry around range grown beef over the last thirty years by choosing not to buy the meats that are grown in less than humane ways. And if I go to someone else's house for dinner I eat what I am given. Family – that is a different story – they are stuck with me. You are all wonderfully thoughtful – thank you.
What a piece of work these extremists are. They want to raise hell about feedlots and have no clue what they are talking about. I am a nurse and have also ridden pens at feedlots and ranches all my life. I have also had to deal with wire strung head high when horseback in the forest meant to kill someone!! Harris feeders have always been more than professional in caring for livestock. I know because we shipped them 1000 head Daily for 42 days in the 70's and never had a late truck.
These criminals must be caught and appropriately punished (PRISON TIME). The more that AR terrorists get away with, the bolder and more reckless they become–until there are human casualties as well. They are called terrorists for a good reason!
Most people do not realize that the AR movement jumped across the pond from England to the USA, under the socialist movement organizations, from the free thinkers and philosophers in a time when the thinking was more toward moral thinking brought about by the times in the UK. Vivisection was a big topic during this time and the imorality of as was vegetarianism helped to bring about pure thoughts.
The RSPCA had a youth group called the Band of Mercy and Ron Lee either formed a new group or broke away from the existing Band of Mercy, of the RSPCA. Lee who was , a neo nazi later formed the ALF in 1975. In the USA it was Wayne Pacelle who while still in college and later with Friends of Animals became on of the first "hunt saboteur in the USA", following hunters around talking to them making noise to distract them from hunting. I believe Mr. Pacelle now CEO of the Humane Society of the United States has several arrest records in different states for hunter harrassment. It was not until the mid 60s when AR moved from England to the USA. It was not until mid 70s that Peter Singer write his book "Animal Liberation". Ingrid Newkirk, head of PETA has been and is today seemingly spokesperson for ALF, anonymously of course, she claims. Many of the first animal rights activist came from Europe to spread their idea of animal rights. They were antivivisectionist, against eating animals or using them for science or biomedical life saving research. The abolitionist who equated slavery, chains, buying and selling with animals and setting all animals free. (It was in the mid 1800s when slaves were set free in the UK in advance of the USA). The USA was born a capitalist society, they believe that under a democracy they can buy and sell, cars, houses, puppies or cows, but under the labor part or socialism morals are also regulated. I don't think anyone wants that in the USA and it would be impossible without a police state and more and more regulating laws on farming and all animal ownership and life saving biomed research. (90% of animal research is done on rats.)
Guess some humans would just drop off the earth and-where have I heard that before…….? Some feel that is what is needed to save the earth from anyone who uses and animal for anything ever! Sounds way too left doesn't it!
Thanks Allen – interesting history lesson. Like most issues in our society ideology is hard to overcome. I had hoped that out of the ashes of 9-11 we would have found ourselves in a morally united state. I almost feel that people think that because an animal is ultimately going to die that somehow what happens in the interim isn't important. At some level a certain level of reverence for the plants and animals we consume seems warranted but good luck with that idea. I have also heard of a moral circle which is slowly expanding and will one day encompass animals. Something like a Bill of Rights for the animal kingdom.
Whow there! A Bill of Rights is a model for a *human society*. As stewards of the earth and the dominant species, humans have responsibilities towards animals, but animals have no rights, per se. The term "animal rights" is a construct of the "animal rights" movement in order to mislead the public into thinking it's animal welfare or protection, which most people support. Au contraire, (as I stated before) "animal rights" as a philosphy is NOT "animal welfare" or true "animal protection". The term "animal rights" should be considered an anti-societal concept, and in time, that will happen. Until then, the AR *true believers* will rant and rave and generally attack people who use animals in any way. It's all a matter of degree and how much these fanatics think they can get away with. The more we mollycoddle them, the more arrogant, bold, and violent they become (towards people and even towards animals–you know–"better dead than bred", "better dead than in a cage" mentality).
Per say whatever you you want to about the semantics revolving around the ethical treatment of animals. I strongly feel that a code of ethics is needed and I am not talking exclusivly about animals of the bovine persuasion. Rights is how we perceive our responsibilities to other beings and I consider animals beings. Therefore rights seem appropriate to me. Having or not having the ability or right to eat them if you want isn't up for debate here only how they are treated in the process. Honestly I am more interested in the theory than the application of this logic but at some level animals must be brought into our ethical circle not to end our consumption of their flesh but to assure a life commiserate with an animal consumed by us or an animal which simply shares our 'right' to exist. I would look at your own definitions as well – welfare and husbandry can easily be applied to other people in other places who are dependent on our welfare for theirs. Trying to say that rights are exclusive to 'humans' is a little arrogant considering the fight some of us have fought for those rights. Maybe the animals just need someone to fight for them. You say schlemiel i say schlimazel. I have trouble believing you are defending the treatment of animals by the big industrial outfits. Keep growing the good stuff and let's see where it goes. Good luck.
For those that haven't heard yet: BLUM V HOLDER. Activists represented by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed suit in federal court in U.S. District Court in the District of Massachusetts., challenging the constitutionality of the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA). According to the CCR website Blum v. Holder is a federal lawsuit challenging AETA as an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. The plaintiffs are five longtime animal rights activists whose advocacy work has been chilled due to fear of being prosecuted as a terrorist under the AETA. (They want the right to victimize animal owners at will.)

"What I loved about this design was that it's cute without being too cutsie. More importantly, in a subtle way, it represents the family. I added "....having a baby boy!" I felt that it was nice to inform the guests, if known. Had great font choices and all were very complimentary. And of course the colors are vibrant yet soothing."
"My husband and I planned a fun and exciting baby shower for our second child, who is due this NOVEMBER. I was looking for a special kind of invitation to go with our theme, Gender Reveal. The card I found on Tiny Prints was spot on with its design. It matches our decor to a T!!! I was elated. Our shower is being hosted by my sister and all invites have been mailed. Everyone of our closest family and friends have only the best of compliments about the design of the invitation! We couldn't have made it better ourselves, absolutely AWESOME!"
"High quality card which was easy to design. I only wish there had been more room to list baby registry and more room to add alternative for rsvp, but the lack of room may have been due to my unfamiliarity in designing cards."
"This invitation is just precious. My daughter-in-law was so happy with the finished product that she cried when she saw them. It is so colorful and whimsical at the same time. I was able to totally customize with even a short poem on the front. I did not upgrage the paper quality or even the edge finishing and it is still just perfect! Note: The background is a tan finish...worked great for me; but if you are looking for stark white, this is not the invite for you."
"I was worried about ordering invitations online. I like that TinyPrints offered a review for free. I ordered a pretty basic invitation, without any of the extra options, but I was happy with the quality. The invitations looked much more polished than cheap write-in invites, for a comparable price. I like that the design was gender-neutral, but still cheery and not boring. I will use TinyPrints next time I need invitations."

"I was just trying to lose, like, every ounce of body fat so when I took off my shirt, I would look like an alien," Pattinson has said. "The idea of taking my shirt off and looking like some sort of Adonis? Everyone would just laugh." At the director's request, he beefed up for the sequel, New Moon, while filming in Italy, in May.

Tomato-basil and olive-leek tartlets
As a Foodbuzz featured publisher, I have the honor of writing a post for a very good cause. Foodbuzz is donating $50 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund for every Top 9 Tea Party Takeover entry received on its site today. Please go to the Kelly Confidential website to donate money toward ovarian cancer research!
The challenge for this takeover is to create the perfect tea party recipe. The scene in the below photo is the closest I get to having tea parties. Do you see the "tea" magnet? I didn't even strategically place that. I saw it and knew I was meant to capture this photo.
I might serve plastic French fries, chicken and watermelon at a tea party, but perhaps not for guests over the age of 5.
My idea of the perfect tea party recipe involves a huge burst of flavor in a teeny tiny bite. Or two teeny tiny bites. I thought of some of the flavors I have fallen in love with recently and incorporated them into two delicious tartlet recipes. If a tea party is on your agenda, you will want to remove the plastic food from your table and make these! They are just what I was aiming for. Big flavor in a small package.
Both tartlets induced an "Oh dear LORD, this is good!" from my husband, my tea party companion.
Start out by defrosting 2 puff pastry sheets according to the package directions. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
While you are waiting for your pastry to defrost and your oven to heat up, combine the following ingredients in a medium bowl:
2 cups cherry and/or grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper
Set aside.
Slice the white parts from 2 medium leeks.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced leeks to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes, or until they are soft. Give them a little sprinkling of salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine:
Cooked leeks
1 cup Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped (I used slightly more than this due to my olive obsession)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper
On a floured surface, roll out the defrosted pastry sheets with a rolling pin until they reach a thickness of 1/8 inch.
I used 3 different sizes of tartlet tins, so I cut 3 different sizes of squares from my puff pastry sheets. Round biscuit cutters would work great, too, but I personally love the corners-hangin'-over-the-edge look.
My general size guidelines:
1.5-inch tin (all diameters measured on bottom) = 3x3-inch pastry square
2-inch tin = 4x4-inch pastry square
3-inch tin = 5x5-inch pastry square
Once the squares are cut, use a fork to create perforations over the surface of the pastry squares. Grease the tins and place the pastry squares in their respectively-sized spots. Gently press the centers of the pastries into the bottom of the tins, allowing the corners of the squares to fold over the edges.
Place the tins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastries are flaky and golden in color. You will likely need to bake the tartlets in batches, unless you have an abundance of tartlet tins lying around.
Place a small cube of fresh mozzarella cheese in the center of each pastry (sizes of the cheese cubes should vary depending on the size of the tartlet).
In half of the pastries, top the mozzarella with a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture. For bigger tartlets, make that 2 or 3 spoonfuls.
In the other half of the pastries, top the mozzarella with a spoonful of the olive-leek mixture.
Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is gooey and you are salivating.
Top the tomato-basil tartlets with fresh basil, if desired.
Remove from tins and serve immediately. With tea, of course.
These are ridiculously tasty. Your tea party guests will be begging you to please go make more.

Firstly, I know how to do it.
alt + digit.
What I want to know is, is there a list of these codes that I can use?
I've tried searching for a long time, I am quite sure SA uses UTF-16LE but had no luck with those. I also know about surrogate pairs but still to no avail.
Is this just a trial and error? I see some people making full sentences with these alt codes in korean.
ALSO: Does anyone know what font Sudden Attack uses?

FAQ: the Website
Customer Account Questions
I'm having trouble logging into my TeaSource customer account. What should I do?
Did you make your customer account before December 2013? We got a new website at that time, and our customers' accounts were not transferred. Please make a new customer account!
I requested a new password because the one I tried didn't work, and I never got a response.
That means that you made your customer account before December 2013, and need to make a new customer account. We sincerely wish that you got a notification of some kind to let you know that, however, due to PCI Compliance specifications, we (or no one else, for that matter) are allowed to do this.
I requested a new password because the one I tried didn't work, and I got a temporary password. The temporary password did not work.
This happens from time to time. You can either request another new password, or you can call us at 877-768-7233 and we can change the password for you. If you have us change your password for you, we will NOT have a record of that password on file. We will, however, have heard you say it out loud. We promise we will not log in to your account with that password. We don't have that good of memories, anyway - we can't even remember our own passwords most of the time.
I feel like wandering in the desert dying of thirst, trying to get this customer account to work.
We know. We can help. Give us a call at 877-768-7233. We can see if you do, in fact, have a customer account. If you do, we can help you change your password. If you don't, we can be the bearer of that news, so you don't have to wander tea-less in the desert any longer.
General Website Questions
Is it safe to send my credit card number over the Internet?
TeaSource uses a Secure Server to transmit your credit card information. The data sent through the Secure Server is encrypted. It is actually safer to transmit your credit card information through the Secure Server than to give the number out over the telephone.
If your browser does not support secure transactions, you may place your order by phone by calling our toll-free number 1 (877) 768-7233. In the Twin Cities metro area, please call (612) 788-4842.
What is your privacy policy regarding personal information?
A good question. Our policy is simple: under absolutely NO circumstances do we make any information about our customers available to anyone else. We never sell or trade my customer lists: including names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails etc. Credit card numbers are destroyed as soon as an order is processed. We hate unsolicited junk mail of any kind. It seems that the least we can do is not contribute to this unpleasantness in our customer's lives.
What is TeaSource's return policy?
We always try to provide the highest quality products, but if there is a defect in any product from TeaSource we will happily replace it or refund your money. However, we can not refund money or accept a return on bulk tea purchases unless the heat-sealed closure is still intact. Unfortunately, we can not accept returns on bulk tea simply because you didn't like the flavor. Therefore, we strongly recommend reading the description carefully and purchasing the minimum amount (2 ounces) of a new tea before purchasing a large quantity.
We do require a receipt for all returns. All returns must be done within 45 days of the purchase date.
If you still have questions, feel free to contact us:
Tea-related questions and questions about the retail and on-line stores: firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also reach the TeaSource store by calling our toll-free number 1 (877) 768-7233. In the Twin Cities metro area, please call (612) 788-9971.

Kate Winslet Is Proud When People Compliment Her Kids
Like us on Facebook
The challenge is making sure that they're never treated different just because I sometimes am. I always want them to be regular kids who are grateful and respectful of other human beings. I want them to know that when we fly first-class, that they are lucky. The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids – and I can say that this does happen frequently – is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
What's the best thing someone could say about your tots?

The Foundation for Economic Education is holding two high school seminars this summer in Estes Park. Though the formal deadline for applications was yesterday, they still have a handful of openings and have extended the deadline for applications until April 10. There is no charge for the seminars, and they provide room and board at the site, which is at the YMCA camp near Estes Park. Their seminars are designed to provide basic instruction in the economics of the free society, including the personal character virtues that are indispensable for a free society to exist. So, their speakers talk about such things as limited government, free markets, rule of law, private property, and personal responsibility.

JB saved these on a forum where I did a lot of my "prophetic" writing.
I glance over there from time to time, and I can't even get through one of the posts I wrote most of the time. I was able to write these quickly and without study, but just from the spirit of prophecy in me, like a maniac sometimes, lol.
I am so grateful I had this time of prophecy: It is written not to dispise prophesying, and I didn't: I loved it, because it BUILT MY SOUL according to GODS WORD IN ME:
God put the WORD (himself) into my soul and then, "TOGETHER" we MADE MAN (Jesus Christ)
LET US make Man, creation and creator after the "Creator COMES THROUGH YOU", the two of you MAKE MAN: WHAT a wonderful wonderful reality, that God would make us CO-Creator of MAN
which is why MAN becomes so important and so wonderful when we truly KNOW WHAT MAN is, the image and likeness of God, FROM GOD, with and THROUGH us, his BODY: what a wonder this is:
here is the post linked above:
Yvonne wrote December 9, 2007:
The first five books of the Bible are called the Pentateuch, or BOOKS OF MOSES: It is written that the scriptures were written by whom?
1Th 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
The Bible is a REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST in creation: it wasn't written by man's will but God's will, look:
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
No human being said to themselves, I think I will write down my thoughts what God did to create heaven and earth which then became scripture. Why do I know this? Because SCRIPTURE stretches our imagination beyond anything man can conceive to this day. Look at how long people TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE and still can't come to a consensus? Most human written books wouldn't have this struggle: I mean, a man says something, and that is that. This is also why it is written:
Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Blasphemy would never be defined by men, because it accuses men and why would mankind make laws he can't KEEP or that accuse him? Looking around me to this day, men are usually looking to JUSTIFY THEMSELVES and not accuse themselves: They love to accuse others, because they FEEL accused by God's WORD, but I know that we would never write what we couldn't even understand, much less OBEY: we wouldn't.
The BIBLE is a book that TAKES US TO A HIGHER MIND and a higher evolution of existence than we "presently know". I say that because God did this for me and what he did, was then... after the fact... REVEALED IN HIS WRITTEN WORD.
I read all kinds of books written by men alone and no matter how difficult they seem to be to understand, men can hash them out if they have the intelligence to do so and people disagree because of "preferences" but not because of facts. Not so with Scripture, the smartest people are often the most stumbled by the Bible if they don't want to OBEY God.
People can't FIGURE IT OUT... and we certainly can't improve what we can't even figure out to begin with: so men didn't write it of their own "will" and accord, but the HOLY SPIRIT IN HOLY MEN wrote it. Those who claim to be above the scriptures haven't even started to understanding them.
So what is blasphemy against the holy ghost?
Jhn 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Jhn 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Jhn 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Jhn 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
First of all Jesus said "THAT HE SAID" they were gods, because? they were just so great? NO!
Jhn 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Aaron was called Moses' prophet, but Moses was called "god" to the people, because THE LORD GAVE HIM THE HOLY GHOST TO WRITE THE TORAH. Even Moses in us today gives us understanding of the TORAH but what about the ONE THE FATHER SENT INTO THE WORLD to save the world? RECONCILLE IT TO HIMSELF?
Jhn 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Jesus didn't even call himself a god, he said "I AM THE SON OF GOD". Now do you think the Jews (gods) to whom the oracles of God came, knew Isaiah 7? How it said this "SON" would be born to a virgin and called Immanuel? HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, Mighty God, EVERLASTING FATHER... Prince of peace...
sure they did...
Jesus reminds us during his REVELATION IN HIS PEOPLE, what blasphemy is:
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
When I look at these two verses together, I come to the discernment that blasphemy is calling yourself GOD when you are NOT... or a Jew when only God can make a JEW... and those who claim to be one, and are still of the synagogue "UNION" of Satan, are saying they are something that THEY are not.
Finally, notice those who WORSHIP Satan and don't even know it: ALL THE WORLD.
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
What does a blasphemer say?
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
He speaks against:
- God
- against HIS NAME
- his tabernacle
- and them that dwell in heaven
One who is still part of the world, part of the antichrist, in UNION with Satan, doesn't KNOW God, or his NAME, or his tabernacle, or them who dwell in heaven with the FATHER AND HIS SON: So he speaks lots of things about these, but they are NOT TRUE.
What else does this spirit of the world do?
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
All our names have to go from our first birth where we are born DEAD in the first Adam, to the second birth, where we are BORN AGAIN IN THE SPIRIT... joined to the LORD to make ONE NEW Man... and given a NEW NAME... that name is in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, because the LAMB is a metaphor for "WILL" that is slain: if our will and God's will do not become ONE WILL, we are not in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.
For instance, PAUL is the new name given to him, but Saul is not written in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, because his WILL had not yet been slain or CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST:
The will is the image of God... it is what MAN is made of: man and his will are the same thing to God.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
When Jesus asked Peter if he loved him more than these, Peter was told to FEED his LAMBS, his sheep and his sheep.
Jhn 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
Jhn 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Jhn 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Jhn 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not.
Jhn 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
The threefold TEMPLE PATTERN:
- the LAMBS are the "SLAIN WILLS"
- the SHEEP are the DESIRES of both the inner court and outer court.
Peter had to be crucified with CHRIST to understand what Jesus was talking about. Peter had to UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO GO where you want and do what you want, and to have that TAKEN FROM YOU... that is being crucified with CHRIST to make ONE NEW WILL, God's will IN US.
Isa 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom (heart), [and] shall gently lead those that are with young (manchild).
God is making the crooked (will) straight Isa 40,42,45, Luke 3
God is spirit and spirit is life: Christ is the MEDIUM God flows in and through us, the soul he is making: God is WILL and Christ is the EXPRESSION of that WILL in us and Jesus is the name of the soul who experiences this to its completion in US:

Lumbar Puncture (LP)
Medical Author:
Kenneth Kaye, MD
Kenneth Kaye, MD
Dr. Kaye received a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors from the University of California, San Diego in Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences. After graduating from New York Medical College, he completed his internship and residency training in pathology at Harbor - UCLA Medical Center.
Medical Editor:
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Dr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
What is a lumbar puncture (LP)?
A lumbar puncture (LP) is the insertion of a needle into the fluid within the spinal canal. It is termed a "lumbar puncture" because the needle goes into the lumbar portion (the "small") of the back.
Other names for a lumbar puncture (an LP) include spinal tap, spinal puncture, thecal puncture, and rachiocentesis.
Why is a lumbar puncture done?
An LP is most commonly performed to diagnose a disease, namely to obtain a sample of the fluid in the spinal canal (the cerebrospinal fluid) for examination.
An LP can also be done to treat diseases, as a way of administering antibiotics, cancer drugs, or anesthetic agents into the spinal canal. Spinal fluid is sometimes removed by LP for the purpose of decreasing spinal fluid pressure in patients with uncommon conditions (such as, for example, normal-pressure hydrocephalus and benign intracranial hypertension).
How is the LP performed?
The patient is typically lying down on their side for the procedure. Less often, the procedure is performed while the patient is sitting up. LPs in infants are often done upright.
After local anesthesia is injected into the small of the back (the lumbar area), a long needle is inserted in between the nearby bony building blocks of the spine (vertebrae) into the spinal canal. (The needle is usually placed between the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae).
What is done next?
Spinal fluid pressure can then be measured and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) removed for testing.
What is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)?
The CSF circulates around the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system). This "water bath" acts as a support of buoyancy for the brain and spinal cord. The support of the CSF helps to protect the brain from injury.
The normal CSF contains various chemicals, such as protein and sugar (glucose), and few if any cells. The spinal fluid also has a normal pressure when first removed.

Thanks to Glenn Beck's contagious enthusiasm, more and more Americans have been rediscovering their own history.
I may be just a lowly Canadian, but I didn't have much rediscovering to do.
It's the eternal refrain of every Canadian schoolkid: "Our history is SO boring compared to the Americans'!" And we're right.
What kind of national slogan is "Peace, order and good government"?
Official campaigns to get us excited about our own story merely emphasized our comparative mediocrity (and carried a whiff of that knee-jerk anti-Americanism that too many Canadians cultivate).
Check it out: Jackie Robinson played in Montreal for one whole season!! Look! The guy who co-invented Superman lived in Toronto as a kid!!
Those corny commercials couldn't compete with Schoolhouse Rock segments about the Revolution. (I can still recite the Preamble.)
We read Johnny Tremain in Grade Seven (for some reason), and that cemented my fascination with U.S. history.
As I got older, it was impossible not to reach the same conclusion as so many had before me:
That Providence had surely had a hand in the creation of our neighbor to the south.
How else to explain those stirring documents like the Declaration of Independence that seem almost divinely inspired?
And what are the odds that so many extraordinary men — Washington, Jefferson, Franklin — all "happened" to be in the same place at the same time, and were all willing to commit treason and risk certain death for a cause they believed in?

Finding the Right Words
summaryHow would you describe your best friend? With that question in mind, your children go on a search through newspapers and magazines for descriptive words to use in a collage -- so much more thoughtful than a store-bought birthday or Valentine's Day card.

MATERIALS: Paper and pencil, dictionary or thesaurus, construction paper, newspaper and magazines, advertising mail, scissors, glue
It's better to have some words in mind before charging off with a scissors, so provide your children with paper and pencil for a list. Offer a dictionary also, and a thesaurus if you have one. Point out that these references have served many a writer well in the quest for le mot juste. Who knows? Your children may even pick up a few new words along the way. Offer help when it comes time to look for the words on the list. While you scan the headlines and copy in the newspaper, your children can search through magazines. Advertising mail, with all its hype, may provide a rich source of flattering words. When you have accumulated a small pile of words, and maybe a few appropriate pictures, your children can arrange and glue the cutouts on construction paper.


text: Each year retail workers have had to work earlier and earlier on Black Friday, sacrificing precious family time that they might not be able to enjoy any other day of the year. This year, Toys "R" Us, Walmart, ect., are opening on Thanksgiving day at 8pm. Retail workers across the country deserve to spend the holiday with their families. This is called Black Friday, not Black Thanksgiving and the people who take these jobs and work the hours and fufill their duties to these retailers should have the option, without getting fired, to spend the holidays with their families. There is a huge difference between coming into work at 8pm on the night of Thanksgiving and waking up at 5am to go into work the day of Black Friday. We request that Black Friday sales start Friday -- like it is supposed to -- not on Thanksgiving

A new Bridesmaids trailer is up, and it appears to give away a LOT of gags in the film. Maybe all of them. If you had any preconceived notions of what Bridesmaids is going to be, this trailer will likely reinforce them. It's an Apatow film about girls with slightly more gross-out humor than you would expect. 'Cause normally it's guys that are gross, get it?
If you're the type of person that enjoys watching people suffer from food poisoning in fancy environments, you will love this trailer. If you don't, who knows…you might still like it. (MSN Movies)

Types of Chromium
May 27, 2011 by admin
Filed under Types of Chromium
Dr. McLeod
I have just started taking chromium that I purchased from Bio-Recovery. On the lable it says 1 capsule contains: chromium (chromemate) 200mcg & chromium (chelavite) 200mcg. Both names listed in brackets show as registered trademarks. I'm really just wondering if this is similar or the same formulation as what you recomend. I ordered this chromium before finding your info. I want to try the formulation that you've had the most success with and if this isn't comparible, I'd rather go out and get what you suggest.
Thank you, C
Dear C
I am familiar with Chromemate which is chromium bound (chelated) to niacin. I have given it to patients and it is an effective preparation. However, the niacin causes some people to feel flushed and dizzy.
I am not familiar with chromium chelavite.
The preparation I have most confidence in is Iceland Health Chromax. You can purchase it a WalMart.
Thank you for your question. Please let me know the results

What is chromium histidinate?
April 30, 2009 by Malcolmnoell003
Filed under Types of Chromium
Chromium histidinate?
I have been taking Chromax Ultra for my chromium picolinate. At the drug store I noticed that they have changed their formulation to half chromium picolinate and half chromium histidinate. In your book you mentioned that other chromium formulations were not effective, but I don't recall the hisidinate form being mentioned. Icelandic Health doesn't seem to offer the regular picolinate only formula any longer. Is the new formulation effective or do I need to switch brands? Thanks!
ANSWER:Your assumption is correct. Chromium histidinate became available after publication of Lifting Your Depression. To view this new preparation, see Iceland Health Chromax Plus.
A few words about chromium histidinate: Histidine is an essential amino acids and is found in protein-containing foods. When combined with chromium, it improves chromium's absorption. There is some evidence that — when combined with chromium picolinate — it increases absorption, based on research conducted by research chemist Dr. Richard A. Anderson and colleagues at the USDA.
The object of Dr Anderson's study was to find a complex of chromium that was better absorption than any of the existing forms. The research group made and tested several new complexes of chromium and gave them to three males and three females. They measured the amount of chromium excreted in their urine, the logic being that the more that is absorbed, the more excreted. They found that the greatest level of urinary chromium excretion occurred in those subject who had taken chromium histidinate.
The study was approved by the Human Nutrition Study Committee, US Department of Agriculture, and the Internal Review Board, Clinical Section of Georgetown University, Washington, DC.
The evidence is meager at this point, but I plan to take the preparation that contains both chromium picolinate and histidinate and also to recommend it to my patiens.
The difference between elemental chromium and chromium picolinate
April 30, 2008 by Malcolmnoell003
Filed under Types of Chromium
The difference between elemental chromium and chromium picolinate
Dear Dr. McLeod,
Would you please clarify the difference between elemental chromium and chromium picolinate? The label on my bottle of chromium picolinate indicates 200 mcg of elemental chromium and 1.6 mcg of chromium picolinate. Should I calculate my dosage on the basis of elemental chromium or chromium picolinate?
I am eager to read your response. Thank you.
Dear A.W.
Your question is excellent. Thank you for asking it.
Chromium picolinate is composed of 12.43% elemental chromium and ~88% picolinic acid. For example, a capsule of chromium picolinate that contains 600 mcg of elemental chromium also contains approximately 4200 mcg of picolinic acid. The precise designation for this composition would be "600 micrograms of elemental chromium combined with 4200 micrograms of picolinic acid." Unfortunately I, and others too, have fallen into the habit of referring to such a capsule by the inaccurate and confusing shorthand as "600 mcg of chromium picolinate."
The daily dosage of chromium, as chromium picolinate, that I recommend is between 3-5 micrograms of elemental chromium per pound of body weight.
Again, yours is an important question. I thank you for asking it. Please let me know if I have answered it clearly. If not, I'll be happy to try again.

What form of chromium should I take?

What form of chromium should I take?
Below is an e-mail I received. It's in red
Dear Dr. McLeod,
A family member suffers from depression and anxiety, so I am continually looking for ways to help her feel better. The drugs don't seem to help much… and we've tried them all.
I have been reading some information about Chromium GTF and why some believe it is much more well absorbed than is the picolinate type of chromium. In fact, they say the GTF form is absorbed 10 to 25 times better than "inorganic chromium". See quote below:
"Chromium is not naturally found in the body in the commonly supplemented forms such as chromium picolinate, chromium chloride, or chromium chelate. Only 1% or less of inorganic chromium is absorbed vs. 10-25% of chromium GTF."
Would it be best to take the GTF form? If not, why not?
Thank you!
I responded as follows:
Hello B.J.,
Thank you for contacting me.
It is quite true that inorganic forms of chromium, such as chromium chloride, are very poorly absorbed. The two organic forms of chromium — chromium picolinate and chromium polynicotinate (aka GTF) — are both well absorbed. I prefer CHROMAX chromium picolinate (which is chelated with picolinic acid) over the polynicotinate preparation (chelated with niacin). Although chromium polynicotinate is well absorbed, I do not recommend it because it causes flusing, dizziness and hyperpigmentation is some patients. These undesirable side effects are caused by niacin.
Please let me know if this helps.
Malcolm McLeod, MD
Do you recommend chromium picolinate or chromium polynicotinate?
April 30, 2006 by Malcolmnoell003
Filed under Types of Chromium
Do you recommend chromium picolinate or chromium polynicotinate?
Below in italics is a question I received:
I'm curious to know if Chromium Polynicotinate GTF with the trademark ChromeMate would work for depression and Diabetes just as well as Picolinate.
Dear Jenny,
I recommend Chromax®chromium picolinate. It the best preparation of chromium, in my experience, and it has no known side effects.
Years ago, soon after I accidentally discovered chromium's benefits in depression, I learned that there is great variation in quality among distributors of chromium products. Some chromium products didn't work, other tasted awful and some caused a total body rash. Gradually I narrowed the two most effective preparations down to chromium picolinate and chromium polynicotinate. Both helped lift depression, gave more energy, and curbed appetite. Not long thereafter, however, I learned that chromium polynicotinate, which is chelated with niacin, can cause dizziness, I sent several patients to neurologists for dizziness and fainting, and no cause was found. I began to suspect the culprit was the niacin in chromium polynicotinate. After the patients switched from chromium polynicotinate to chromium picolinate, their dizziness disappeared. Other side effect associated with the polynicotinate chromium preparation are flushing, rashes, and skin hyperpigmentation.
In summary, both chromium picolinate and chromium polynicotinate improve insulin sensitivity and help associated symptoms, but chromium polynicotinate causes unwanted side effects. So I recommend Chromax®chromium picolinate, distributed by Nutrition 21.
What brand of chromium should I use?

What brand of chromium should I use?
Q: Is any brand of chromium picolinate ok to use? I know all the research used chromax brand. Thank you in advance for answering my question, and I look forward to reading your book when it arrives. I feel I have suffered from atypical depression all my life. I had a bad experience with a high dose antidepressant (Prozac) I took 10 years ago. I don't want to suffer anymore, but I don't want any more prescription drug side effects
A: There is more than one good brand of chromium. There are, however, some brands that are not effective. After much trial and error, the brand that I'm most comfortable recommending, the brand that works the best, is Chromax chromium picolinate made by Nutrition 21. It has been the most extensively researched and is the brand currently being used in several major, NIH-sponsored trials. It is far less expensive than pharmaceutical drugs and it has no serious side effects.
For more information on Chromax chromium picolinate and how to order it, go to www.chromiumconnection.com and click on "About Chromax chromium picolinate."
Good luck, and please let me know if Chromax chromium picolinate helps you.

Andy Radovic | February 7, 2013 | Comments |
An interview with Ray Grieselhuber, Ginzametrics CEO on why it's important for brands to adopt content marketing as a core channel to drive qualified traffic and sales.
Content marketing has been a movement that has seen much buzz the past year. Below you can see a Google Trends chart that shows that massive uptick in search queries for the keyword "Content Marketing." In a recent survey by Roper Public Affairs, 80 percent of business decision-makers said they prefer to get information via articles, not ads. Seventy percent said content makes them feel closer to a company, and 60 percent said content provided by companies helps them make smarter buying decisions.
Below chart shows Google Trends for "Content Marketing"
In this article I interviewed Ray Grieselhuber, the CEO and co-founder of Ginzametrics, Inc., producer of the Ginzametrics SEO Platform. For the past year, Ray has been speaking and writing heavily about content marketing and why it's so important for brands to adopt as a core channel in driving qualified traffic and sales. Below are Ray's thoughts on our top 10 questions to better understand content marketing.
Andy Radovic: The content marketing movement is still relatively new. What's your quick personal definition of what content marketing is?
Ray Grieselhuber: Content marketing is the process of creating content that your users find valuable and educational and providing it to them, regardless of whether they purchase something from you. The reason it is so effective is because people are more likely to trust businesses that add value first without giving the impression that they expect something in return. It's an important part of building a relationship.
AR: Why do you believe brands should start creating more content?
RG: When you're trying to reach consumers online, you basically have two options. You can advertise to them or you can try to find ways to get them to find you. This can be roughly defined as outbound and inbound marketing, respectively. Both involve content, but consumers are much more trusting of and more likely to buy from brands they discover on their own or through their social networks (offline and online). If brands adopt inbound marketing (including social, SEO, and many other channels) as a growth strategy, then providing high-quality content that connects with their target audience is the foundation of that entire strategy. This content can also be used effectively in outbound channels and, indeed, integrating both inbound and outbound campaigns with consistent content across all channels can have a big impact on overall performance across the board.AR: What types of content are you seeing the most successful in terms of actual business impact (i.e., sales)?
RG: It depends a lot on the industry in question. The B2B industry (SaaS in particular) has probably had the most success recently because response is so easy to measure and sales tend to be highly consultative. In the B2B world, the type of content that works best is blogging, e-books, webinars, infographics, videos, and more. For brands, many of the content types that have been successful in traditional advertising campaigns (TV commercials, magazines) can work very well if they are planned with digital in mind. Planning with digital in mind entails two things: first, understanding the audience and choosing the right targeting (both in terms of message and distribution) and second, taking the time to measure appropriately. In terms of mediums, video and photography can be very effective.
E-commerce firms desperately need to get better at content marketing. Some of the things that helped them in the past (naturally large content base because of their catalog) are hurting them now because of the way that Google now looks down on transactional content (catalog pages, etc.) in favor of actual content that conveys a message or information. We've seen some e-commerce firms, especially vertical sites, do well with content that makes them look more like a brand, using video and photography. These sites need to get better at telling the story of the products they sell.
Direct response and lead generation companies suffer a similar problem to e-commerce companies but they also have the natural advantage of being able to acquire many users at scale if they get good at providing education tools and content. These can be things like calculators, infographics, blog posts, videos, e-books, apps, and more.
AR: How "storytelling-like" do you think the content needs to be?
RG: I think it can be very important; especially when you are selling products that are highly commoditized, such as electronics, travel deals, certain types of fashion, and more. If you don't have strong product differentiation to rely on, you don't just want to depend on price differentiation. Telling a story about the product, the makers of the product, why you sell that product, and more can really help to connect your customers with your company.
AR: As humans, how are we going to be able to handle this influx of new content? Do you see a continual thread of new technology being created off the back of content marketing that helps us navigate this new world of content?
RG: That's a really good question. One of the things that has surprised me has been the lack of innovation in recent years around using technology for aggregation and filtering of content. I thought we were on our way in the early days with RSS/Atom and then newer platforms like FriendFeed (acquired by Facebook) back in 2008, but then that innovation seemed to stop among startups. Monetization (or the lack thereof) was probably a big part of this.Marketers are getting more tools to help them manage the influx of new content, analyze it, and repackage it for their own audiences, but I think the consumers are going to need better tools soon or it could be a risk for content marketing as a whole.
There are many good technologies available for building new platforms to help people manage their content but it's hard to find them. One strategy is for marketers to focus in on the tools and communities used by the verticals that matter most to them. For the tech and startup community, that would be sites like Hacker News. Pinterest is helping with this, especially in fashion and food. It's funny that email is still one of the most effective ways to get people's attention and is simultaneously the most effective way for people to filter/manage their inbound content.
Look out for Part 2 of my Q&A with Ray as he shares tips and tactics to optimize content marketing for your brand.

Ive used the Myo XP on a lot of night backpacking trips and its three watt LED packs more punch than these one watt or less LED lights. Yes, its a little heavier, but not much. You can reduce the weight by strictly using lithium batteries. Its powerful, light, compact and gets the job done. For around camp, its overkill. For on trail at night, its perfect.
Rating: 4 / 5
I owned one of these but had to send it back as the electronics developed a fault - kept flashing. Still preferred it to my Black Diamond Icon headlamp.But a new 30% brighter & longer battery life Myo will be out shortly.
