Special to OneWed by Chicago wedding pianist Kathie Nicolet
Many brides are overwhelmed by the 2,156 decisions they have to make in planning their wedding ceremonies and receptions. What to choose? Silver or gold table linens? Chicken or salmon? Pink roses or delphiniums?
Please allow me to assist you in selecting your wedding musicians…
As a professional Chicago pianist and wedding musician for over 25 years, I have been a significant part of thousands of celebrations that included "behind the scenes" negotiations, phone discussions, music selections, rehearsals, recommendations for additional vendors, and more. Some brides were searching for nothing but the best, and I'd like to share suggestions in how you can do the same to ensure that your wedding day is memorable, beautiful, and special.
Relax and let the wedding professionals help you with our expertise.
We have had countless years of experience and witnessed almost every possible scenario imaginable. I personally have seen a bride faint just before saying " I do," a bride who heard the Bridal March and just stood in the doorway, frozen (The ring bearer had forgotten the ring on the 16th floor of the hotel!), ceremonies starting 45 minutes late because Uncle Bob took a wrong turn driving to the church, and almost anything else you can imagine. Despite the challenges presented, these weddings were absolutely beautiful — with much credit given to professional vendors who knew how to handle them! When selecting your vendors, be sure they can offer you top references and have professional materials to share that show a quality business. If your phone calls are not handled professionally and promptly, you are wise to go to someone else.
Remember: You are planning one wedding. We help plan thousands!
Many people are looking for value today, and may believe that because Aunt Frannie plays the piano, she'd be perfect as your cocktail pianist! Aunt Frannie may know "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," but do you want to hear it 35 times in an hour? Will your guests be disappointed because she doesn't know how to play anything else? Let Aunt Frannie be a guest. Leave the music to a professional who has a wide enough repertoire to please everyone present. We are trained to take requests and play polished, professional arrangements — and do it all while smiling and carrying on a conversation without taking our hands off the keys!
All beautiful, elegant, wedding ceremonies will have live music.
Please leave your CDs in the car. If you are absolutely on the tightest budget, you can hire a solo musician for what two dinner entrees or a lovely floral centerpiece would cost you. It's smart not to cut corners with ambience. Music sets the tone for your day and your guests will notice. Keep this thought in mind for your wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, and post-nuptial champagne brunches as well. A celebration without music is only a meeting.
Ask your vendors for vendor recommendations.
The facility where you are planning your event will usually have a list of preferred musicians for wedding ceremonies and other events (and may have listings of other wonderful people such as florists, photographers, and caterers). Just ask your catering coordinator for their list of recommended professional musicians. This is one of the best resources you can find in that recommended vendors do not pay to be listed. Preferred vendors are recommended for consistent quality service and impeccable reputations. Anyone can get listed in a phone book or a wedding magazine for a fee. Recommendations cost nothing but are tremendously valuable resources. If the facility recommends someone superior who your guests are talking about for weeks after your wedding, it reflects well on both the vendor and the facility. If we look good, they look good!
It's a good idea to consult with the musical director of your church before selecting musicians for your ceremony.
It is common practice for the church to require you to use their in-house musicians and will not allow you to bring in outside vendors. Catholic churches often have an "approved" list of musical selections allowed. Be sure to call first.
Congratulations on your special day!
If you are seeking recommendations for vendors in the Chicago area, please contact me anytime. My personal recommendations are provided as complimentary service for those seeking only the best that Chicago has to offer for your special, successful day!

- Angelina Jolie is Vogue's December cover girl (photos by Mario Testino), which, as usual, coincides with the release of her latest, The Tourist with Johnny Depp, out December 10. The woman doesn't have an agent, and why would she? The mold or model doesn't apply to her, and yet The Tourist's director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) confirms to Vogue that "she gets every single script that has a female role aged between eighteen and 40—every script. And she just follows her feeling, holds her own counsel. She's probably the only global megastar that doesn't even have an agent—she doesn't even have a publicist." Vogue's...Read More »
James Cameron has made up his mind. He can't get Avatar out of his head. And he's doing the right thing, shooting two sequels to Avatar (possibly back to back), because he's going to give audiences more of what they want. (Reminder: Avatar grossed $ $2.8 billion worldwide, bolstered by premium 3-D prices, and tops Blu-ray sales records.) And he'll plow some of the huge R & D that went into the cost of Avatar back into the sequels (presumably making them less expensive--although you know he'll want to up the VFX ante). And he will remind us of what top-of-the-line 3-D can be. Immersive. Engrossing. Welcoming us into another world, in this case...Read More »

With or without Black Swan's vote of confidence, Portman is a strong (but young) choice. The age range of the character in Gravity is apparently flexible.

Jobs That Help Ohio - and the Rest of the Planet
This summer I traveled to Cleveland to talk with community leaders about clean energy. With its shuttered auto-parts factories, Ohio shows signs of its rust belt past. But the state is beginning to channel its traditional strengths -- an existing manufacturing base and a well-trained workforce -- into the burgeoning economic opportunities of green energy.
The wind industry, for instance, grew 40 percent annually from 2005 until 2008. After a slowdown in financing, the renewable energy incentives in President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package could make 2010 the strongest year yet. That is excellent news for the 90 Ohio companies that manufacture bearings, generators, and fasteners for wind turbines.
But it's not just Ohio. As I write this, the Senate is considering a groundbreaking bill that would dramatically expand the market for green technologies nationwide. The House passed a similar bill in June. Still, we have a tough fight ahead in the Senate. The key to victory is showing our senators that confronting global warming goes hand in hand with economic growth and job creation. In this respect, Ohio is an excellent bellwether. With the state's conventional industries shedding jobs, new, green opportunities offer a lifeline to struggling workers. The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst has estimated that Ohio could produce 67,000 green jobs (nationwide that figure could reach 1.7 million), from weatherizing homes to installing solar panels.
That's why NRDC and other environmental groups have joined forces with several unions -- including the United Steelworkers, the Service Employees International Union, and the American Federation of Teachers -- to form the Blue Green Alliance, which is working to pass a strong climate bill in the Senate. Clean-tech entrepreneurs, whether they run solar companies in Ohio or venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, also view clean energy legislation as a powerful economic engine. Leveraging this broad spectrum of allies, NRDC has gone to Capitol Hill with Fortune 500 CEOs and labor leaders to urge lawmakers to pass this bill.
Scientists at MIT recently concluded that temperatures are likely to rise faster than previously thought -- 9 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century instead of 4 degrees. There is no time to waste. The bill before the Senate will get America moving toward job creation, sustainable prosperity, and climate solutions. Tell your senators to pass it now.
This is a good start. I'm most concerned with Southern Appalachia, where coal is the only economic engine driving the workforce. But it is so destructive that it is entirely unsustainable. Developing green jobs there is vital to not only the local economies but to the larger economy as well.
We need to develop economies that take into account local sustainability initiatives as well as being eco-sensitive. In my mind, this is the only viable alternative for the future.
I am so glad that someone is finally blogging about something important. I am a soon to be graduate, and I want to find a well paying job where I can help the planet and animals. Can you give me any ideas? email@example.com

Sudan warns South as fresh clashes alleged
Sudan warned its Southern neighbour on Tuesday over widening "aggression" as the South alleged fresh clashes despite an African Union peace initiative.
"The government of Sudan confirms that South Sudan and its army are working to widen the aggression and occupy some disputed points and areas by force," Khartoum's foreign ministry said in a statement.
"Sudan cannot allow the occupying troops to impose their power."
The statement came more than a week after South Sudanese soldiers said they had completed a withdrawal from Sudan's main oil region of Heglig, which they occupied for 10 days in a move that coincided with Sudanese air strikes across the border in South Sudan.
Sudan's military said it forced the Southerners out of Heglig.
It was the most serious fighting in a month of border clashes and raised fears of wider war.
Allegations of clashes have continued even after the Heglig occupation ended.
In its statement, the foreign ministry said South Sudanese troops on Monday occupied a disputed area on the border of Sudan's Darfur and South Sudan's Western Bahr el-Ghazal state.
This came a day after the South took over another disputed point on the Darfur border, the ministry added.
It said the South has "a plan to continue the war and disturb peace and security and stability along the border between Sudan and South Sudan."
Each side denies backing rebels on the other's territory in a proxy war after failing to settle outstanding issues over contested territory, oil revenues and borders.
The South became independent last July after an overwhelming "yes" vote under a 2005 peace deal that ended a 22-year civil war.
On Tuesday, the South's army said Sudanese troops and allied militias clashed with South Sudanese troops along the disputed border.
"Sudanese forces, militias and mercenaries attacked our positions in Hofra in the oil region of Unity state," Southern army spokesman Philip Aguer said.
It was not possible to independently verify the situation.
Southern troops "repulsed the attackers" and captured three trucks, Aguer said, adding soldiers were preparing for an assault believed planned by Sudan.
South Sudanese youth in the north have been reported kidnapped by armed South Sudanese gangs in Sudan and sent to fight in the border zone, including in Heglig, South Sudan's ambassador told AFP in an interview.
Last week the UN Security Council started talks on a resolution that could allow sanctions against Sudan and South Sudan if they do not meet African Union (AU) demands to end their border clashes which began in late March.
The AU's security organ urged both sides to reach a deal within three months on oil and citizenship issues, pull forces from the contested Abyei region and agree on a demarcated border.
Among other measures, the roadmap sought an immediate cessation of all hostilities including aerial bombardments, withdrawal of troops from each other's territory and an end to backing for rebel groups.
Sudan on Sunday notified the AU that it agreed to the roadmap, the foreign ministry said in its statement on Tuesday.
On Saturday, the South's government said it was ready to pull its police out of Abyei to meet the AU demands.
The British embassy, meanwhile, said Tuesday that it had met with one of its citizens allegedly detained by Sudan's army along the tense southern border and he was in good condition.
Chris Fielding, the Briton, has been held for at least three days along with Norwegian John Sorbo, South African Thabo Siave and an unidentified South Sudanese.
The UN expressed concern after the governor of Sudan's White Nile state declared thousands of South Sudanese a security risk and ordered them to leave by Saturday the way-station of Kosti, south of Khartoum.
They have been encamped there waiting for transport to the South.
"As those awaiting repatriation from Kosti … are in a vulnerable position and lack many basic services including adequate shelter, vital and quick collaboration is needed from Sudan and South Sudan to alleviate the hardship of those stranded", said Ali Al Zaatari, the United Nations resident representative and humanitarian coordinator.

NL Playoff Game 1
Ernest Bock & Sons Red Sox 11
Lankenau Spine Center Yankees 10
In a very hard played game, the #8 seeded Yankees gave the #1 seeded Red Sox all they could handle. The Red Sox squeaked out an 11-10 win to advance in the winners bracket. Corey Ziring and Mike Kramer pitched well for the Red Sox holding the Yankees to 5 runs through 4 innings. Patrick O'Kane pitched 3 impressive innings for the Yankees hold the Red Sox to 5 runs. The Yankees came to bat in the top of the 6th inning with the score at 11-10. Kyle Virbitsky shook a tough 5th inning where he surrendered 5 runs to the Yankees and managed to hold the Yankees scoreless in the final inning. The game ended with the tying run on 3rd and the go ahead run on 2nd.
The Red Sox were led in hitting by Jake Newsome (3 for 3, 2 runs, 1 RBI), Corey Ziring (3 for 3, 2 RBI's) and Aaron Brown with 3 RBI's. The Yankees were helped at the plate by Connor Daly (2 hits, 2 RBI's), Chris Rushton (2 hits) and Peter Soloman who drove in 2 runs. Based on the inspired play of the Yankees, they will surely be a tough task for any team that faces them in the next round.

Lenovo announces two new desktop PCs for business users: the A70 and M70e
Are you a cubicle dweller in need of your IT department to approve the purchase of a new PC to replace your slow, malware-infested machine? If so, you may want to take a look at the new desktop PCs recently launched by Lenovo before submitting your proposal to tech support.
Read on for more information.
When it comes to computers, business users and consumers generally have markedly different needs. In spite of that, there is one common need which binds the separate camps together: the need for speed (pun not intended). After all, it is not considered a business PC if it takes forever to load up commonly used office software such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite, among many others.
Naturally, decent speed and performance in computing is almost directly to the hardware powering the PC. Which is also what Lenovo's new business desktop PCs, the A70 and M70e, promise to pack.
Lenovo ThinkCentre A70
Lenovo ThinkCentre M70e
According to Lenovo, businesses will have a choice of either Core 2 Duo, Pentium or Celeron processors, with the M70e allowing for an extra configuration of Core 2 Quad processors. Businesses can also choose between a Quadro FX380 for some serious graphics crunching or an Intel X4500HD onboard graphics card for general usage.
For more variety, the dektops will be available in two form factors (SFF and tower), which we presume allows for lesser clutter on the desk.
The full press release is attached below.
New Lenovo Desktop Pair Excels in Essential Business Computing
ThinkCentre A70 and M70e Offer Powerful Performance & Style at Entry-Level Prices
SINGAPORE – Aug. 23, 2010: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced the ThinkCentre A70 and M70e desktops – a desktop duo that gives customers a new, stylish design with powerful processing capabilities at a bargain price. Created for small to medium businesses (SMB), the A70 features the latest processing, memory and graphics performance at a price tag starting at SGD 887. The M70e builds on the A70's platform with advanced features for greater expandability, stability and manageability for large business customers.
"Desktop PCs remain the backbone of many businesses today with many small and medium business customers depending on reliable PC performance to accomplish critical operational tasks," said Ronnie Lee, Country General Manager, Lenovo (Singapore). "The ThinkCentre A70 and M70e deliver practical performance and good-looking design at an affordable price."
The desktops come in two sizes – small form factor or tower. They also sport a new modern black minimalist exterior design that's both fashionable and functional. The power button, media and USB ports are located in easy-to-reach locations on the front of the PC, and a new top handle makes moving the PC easy.
The desktops exceed requirements for today's essential computing tasks. With processing performance capable of running multiple applications simultaneously, users can create presentations, edit images, research Internet articles and send emails when multiple windows are open.
The desktops include:
– Processor choices of Intel Core2Duo, Pentium and Celeron processors. Core2Quad processors are available in the M70e
– Graphics choices of NVIDIA GeForce FX380 Quadro or Intel integrated GMA X4500 graphics
– High speed DDR3 memory up to 4 GB. Large hard drives up to 500 GB and up to 1 TB in the M70e
– Gigabit Ethernet and DVD burner
– Suite of Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools including Rescue and Recovery and System Update
The M70e includes an optional chassis intrusion switch and USB port disablement for extra security measures along with a stable hardware platform1 and greater expandability featuring an 8-1 card reader and up to eight USB and multiple serial ports. The M70e also helps customers control energy costs: It is GREENGUARD certified and meets Energy Star 5.0 specifications.2 Customers can use Lenovo's included Power Manager utility to set and monitor desktop energy usage and can also opt to use an 85% efficient power supply3.
Lenovo offers a variety of services optimized for SMB and large businesses, such as Online Data Backup to ensure data protection through redundancy, Hard Disk Retention to keep possession of data when decommissioning PCs and Priority Support to access technical support 24/7.
Pricing and Availability
The ThinkCentre A70 is available now through Lenovo business partners, and the ThinkCentre M70e will be available in the last quarter of this year through business partners and www.lenovo.com/sg . Pricing for models of the ThinkCentre A70 and M70e start at SGD 887 and SGD 762 respectively.

I assume that your ex-husband has not remarried. If you hold your house as joint tenants then his share in it would pass automatically to you upon his death, all you need to is to produce a copy of the death certificate to the Land Registry and they will register the property in your sole name but before you do you will also need to speak to your mortgage company who will have to satisfy themselves that you can maintain the mortgage on your own.
If you own your property with your husband as tenants in common then it will pass according to his Will. If he has no WIll then his estate (including his interest in the house) will pass according to the intestacy rules which means that it would pass to his children.
If you do not know whether you hold your interests as tenants in common or joint tenants then I can tell you how to check.

Building a good mobile website, spanning different devices, platforms and contexts, is a difficult task. And also making that website FAST is even harder. Performance is often overlooked as designers and developers focus on layout and functionality, often resulting with slow and heavy mobile sites.
In this presentation we'll review the top design philosophies for building a mobile website. We'll briefly explain each, and dig into the primary performance implications it carries. We'll show real world examples, explain what they did wrong, and talk about how you can avoid these problems on your own site.

Two seconds from Saturday lasted about 45 minutes Monday. That's roughly how long reporters spent querying Washington coach Tyrone Willingham...
Two seconds from Saturday lasted about 45 minutes Monday.
That's roughly how long reporters spent querying Washington coach Tyrone Willingham during his weekly news conference, with much of the questioning on the highly disputed final two seconds of Saturday's loss at USC.
Sonny Shackelford was tackled at the USC 15-yard-line after catching a pass from Isaiah Stanback with UW trailing 26-20 and the clock stopping at two seconds. After officials met for a minute or so to discuss whether the clock should be reset, UW was unable to get off another snap and the game ended.
Willingham said his only problem with how the officials handled the final play was the setting of the clock. He said there should have been a minimum of four seconds remaining.
But he said he had no issues with the rest of the sequence, saying the play was a "unique" set of circumstances that made it difficult for all involved.
And ultimately, he said, the blame rested on his shoulders for not having the Huskies ready to run a play quickly enough to beat the clock.
Oregon State @ UW, 3:30 p.m. (FSN)
"Regardless of whether it was five or two seconds on the clock, I felt like we should have gotten a play off," Willingham said. "And I just didn't do my job to get us up and over the ball quick enough to get it done."
One reporter said it looked like the Huskies were ready, but Willingham shook his head.
"We were still kind of moving around, feeling the officials, trying to get exactly where we were," he said. "It would have been my job to get them simply on the ball and get them going."
Willingham said he would have liked to have been able to discuss the clock situation with the officials but was not allowed. Willingham said there is no "protocol" for such situations, nor do the officials have to explain it to coaches or players. Such timing issues cannot be reviewed by instant replay.
Washington center Juan Garcia said after the game he thought the umpire started the clock more quickly than he had been previously after putting the ball in play. But Willingham said he didn't think that was an issue, again citing the "unique" nature of the play. Willingham said he thought the huddle by the officials made the whole sequence "confusing" for players and coaches on both sides.
Willingham said the Huskies often practice last-minute situations, but rarely have practiced getting off a snap with just two seconds left. But, he said to laughter, "we will now."
Willingham confirmed that the new clock rules this season did not affect that play — those rules pertain only to kickoffs (the clock now starts when the ball is kicked rather than when it is caught) and the first play following a change of possession.
Both of those changes, however, hurt UW on the last possession. The kickoff took five seconds, even though it resulted in a touchback. The first play lasted 16 seconds as Stanback took a little time changing the protection before taking the snap and throwing an incomplete pass.
"Everything has to go faster," Willingham said of how the Huskies handled the last drive.
Willingham said he was confident UW could score on the final play, which he described as "verticals with an option route attached," meaning a pass play with all of the receivers running into the end zone except for one who had an option to cut into the middle based on what the safety did.
Willingham also addressed a controversial fake field goal executed by USC for its first touchdown. On the play, USC holder Michael McDonald took the snap, then rose and threw to receiver Steve Smith, who had been on the field for the previous play, then began heading to the sideline, which confused the Huskies.
Willingham said he had no problems with any aspect of the play. He said Smith was "in the backfield" and that the Trojans had the needed seven men on the line of scrimmage without Smith.
"It was a legal formation," Willingham said. "It was a good call on their part and we just missed it."
Stanback ailing but probable
Willingham said Stanback suffered a hip pointer during the game and played most, if not all, of the second half hobbling.
He said he anticipates Stanback being able to play Saturday against Oregon State.
"It was a physical football game and he is feeling the knocks and bumps and bruises of a physical contest," Willingham said.
He also said he expects safeties Jason Wells and Dashon Goldson to be ready to play. Both suffered concussions and Goldson also limped off the field late with cramps.
Linebacker E.J. Savannah, out three games with a broken thumb, might return this week.
• The game at Cal will be televised by FSN and will begin at 12:30 p.m.
• UW's players of the week were Shackelford (offense), Goldson (defense) and Michael Braunstein (special teams).
• Willingham said the snaps of Garcia out of the shotgun and Danny Morovick on kicks have to get better.
• Oregon State coach Mike Riley said senior Matt Moore will start at QB for Oregon State "and we'll just play it from there." With OSU struggling at 2-3, there have been calls in Corvallis for freshman Sean Canfield.
• About 60,000 tickets have been sold for Saturday's game.

Help with Redundant Switch Setup [7:94470] posted 11/08/2004
Hi, Please can some of you help me on this setup I am trying to configure. So far, I have tried various things, but can't get it to work properly. So, I will give you an explanation of the setup, and see if you can come up with the best solution. Ok, now lets see if I can explain this. 2 x C6500 Cat Switches (CAT-A, CAT-B) 1 x C3662 Router (RTR-A) Dual Fibre connection from CAT-A to CAT-B Single copper connection from CAT-A to RTR-A Single copper connection from CAT-B to RTR-A Running R-PVST on both CAT switches. Total of 6 VLAN's on Catalsys switches, both in same VTP domain. Also, CAT switches are configured so that each VLAN is in its own HSRP group, except for the VLAN that forms the connection to the RTR-A. The 2 interfaces on RTR-A are in separate subnets. The problems seem to arise when I disconnect one of the links from either CAT-A to RTR-A or CAT-B to RTR-A. Can anyone suggest the best solution here. Thanks Lee Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=94470&t=94470 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html

Delaware Money School to offer free class in avoiding probate Jan. 6
A free class on avoiding probate and making the transition of property occur seamlessly after death without opening an estate will be offered to the public from 6 to 7 p.m., Monday, Jan. 6, at the Georgetown Public Library, 123 West Pine St., Georgetown.
The sponsor, Delaware Money School, will provide an experienced and qualified instructor, Deirdre O'Shea McCartney, Esq., to the public. Having written, spoken and taught on the subject many times, she breaks down what appears to be a complex subject to simple, understandable layman's terms.
This class focuses only on steps the lay person can take so assets transfer at death to the intended beneficiaries by operation of law, immediately and automatically. Everyone should have a will prepared with a competent attorney. This class teaches how to prepare an estate in such a manner that the entire probate process can be avoided, and the will never comes into play.
The Money School is the signature program of the nonprofit Delaware Financial Literacy Institute. It offers more than 600 free, no-hassle personal finance classes a year, throughout the state, taught by volunteers from the nonprofit and corporate sectors. Register at www.dfli.org.

US ambassador in Belgium provides controversial explanation for Muslim anti-Semitism
Menachem Gantz
Published: 12.03.11, 08:29 / Israel News
Menachem Gantz
BRUSSELS – Growing global anti-Semitism is linked to Israel's
policy towards the Palestinians, the American ambassador to Belgium told stunned Jewish conference attendants in Brussels earlier this week.
The conference was attended by Jewish lawyers from across Europe. The legal experts at the event were visibly stunned by Gutman's words, and the next speaker offered a scathing rebuttal to the envoy's remarks.
"The 'Israel critic' will never state 'Jews go home' but is questioning the legality of the incorporation of the State of Israel and therefore the right for the Jewish people to settle in their homeland. He will not say the Jews are the evil of the world but claim that the State of Israel is a major cause for instability and war in the region," he said. "There is no other country, no other people on this planet the 'Israel critic' would dedicate so much time and devotion as to the case of Israel."
Conference attendants received Gelbart's remarks with loud applause, while the American envoy apologized for having to leave the site as result of prior obligations and departed.

My brother, sister, & I were reflecting on the old days when we used to play with the games that came with Windows 95, so I went on a hunt to download as many of the games as I could remember. I've been quite successful, except for one particular game we want the most.
First of all, one controlled a flying ship that could shoot other aircraft in a 3D environment. I remember being able to switch views to the cockpit, & I distinctly remember shooting at giant brown stone sphinxes. When flying into an ocean below, the ship would crash.
That's about all the details I can remember. If anyone recalls the name of the game (or even a portion of the name), that'd help a bunch.

Starlight's woes were a long time coming
Theater group hopes Chapter 11 leads to revival
The planes and the shows
As it did for many transplants from the East, watching my first Starlight show left me speechless — and fearing deafness. Planes roared through the performances on their descent to Lindbergh Field. In response, actors "froze" in place while the aerial intrusions passed by, an iconic motif locals had come to tolerate, even enjoy, but which had me covering my ears since I could not in good conscience flee for the exits.
At the same time, the quality of the interrupted performance — it was "No, No, Nannette" with terrific tap dancing — was surprisingly high. So, following critics' tradition here, I counted the planes when I reviewed there: 49 the year I stopped counting.
The artistic management attempted to deal with the planes in two ways — first by adding indoor shows at the Civic Theatre, and later, by dispensing with the stop-motion. The action and singing continued right on through the noise.
The company's repertory always reflected both the times and the largely staid taste of its audience. Producing began in 1946 with Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" and popular operettas: "Naughty Marietta," "The Pirates of Penzance" (twice), "The Merry Widow" and "Countess Maritza." The 1950s brought the Golden Age musicals of Irving Berlin and Rodgers & Hammerstein — "South Pacific" (seven times), "Oklahoma" (four times), "Call Me, Madam" (twice), "The King and I," and every other Broadway biggie.
For three generations, hundreds of actors and nearly all of the city's dancers cut their stage teeth on Starlight's outdoor stage, where some 136 different musicals were seen in multiple productions. In 1985, Starlight took what it considered a risk and offered a very good staging of the boundary-pushing "A Chorus Line," and after the millennium, there was an excellent staging of Stephen Sondheim's gore-fest "Sweeney Todd" and even the acerbic "Urinetown."
News that Starlight Musical Theatre is in deep financial trouble came as no surprise to theater watchers here. The miracle is that Starlight, aka San Diego Civic Light Opera, held on without changing its business practices for as long as it did. The once-thriving producing organization, founded 65 years ago, may not be terminal, but it's on life support — the protective ventilator of Chapter 11 reorganization under the bankruptcy code.
As part of that reorganization, Starlight must create a plan to address an accumulated debt of at least $1 million, according to the organization's 2009 federal tax filing, the most recent available for the nonprofit. A highly public portion of its debt — $15,469 plus interest — is owed to members of IATSE, a New York-based union of stagehands and stage managers that has filed suit in federal court for missed pension fund payments.
The company owes some payroll taxes, as well. A supplement to the 2009 IRA filing lists more than $500,000 in loans from board members, including $336,000 from Cinda Lucas, known as The Starlight Lady during her tenure as board president, $27,000 from current board president Kimberley Layton, and varying amounts between $10,000 and $63,000 from other board members. Some of those loans may have been forgiven; none was in default, yet all were approved by the board without written contracts.
Listed liabilities include $649,000 to Wells Fargo, a note payable of $325,000, and a $10,000 debt to the group's accountant, John Lane, who filed the form.
Starlight board president Layton, director of public, corporate and community relations for the San Diego Chargers, said Monday that "a handful of very dedicated volunteers has been struggling to overcome the theater's debt, and it became clear that despite our best efforts, this was the painful step we had to take to ensure the theater's survival for the next generation."

Different understandings, but Goreites are too close to the fire
Maybe because one of my dogs is named Pokey, I received all day Friday e-mail containing that new hit song, "The Palm Beach Pokey": "You put the Gore votes in, you put the Bush votes out, you put the Gore votes in, and you do another count. You do the Palm Beach Pokey, and you turn the count around, that's what it's all about!"
What's it all about? The two sides have different understandings of what an election is. For Republicans, taking after 18th-century British thinker Edmund Burke, the rule of law and tradition is paramount: Whoever gets the most votes by accepted electoral practice wins. For Democrats, taking after 18th-century French thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the "will of the people" comes first: Whoever is divined to have had the greatest support, even if people did not fill out their ballots properly, should win.
What's it all about? Clinton-Gore aide Paul Begala argues that George W. Bush won states "where James Byrd was lynch-dragged behind a pickup truck until his body came apart ... where right-wing extremists blew up a federal office building and murdered scores of federal employees," and so forth. I argued in a recent WORLD column, "Why should we be surprised that people who approve of an abortionist puncturing the skull of a mostly-born baby also approve of electoral theft?" But here's a difference: Most Republicans condemn both sets of extremists, most Democrats condemn the first set of extremists but defend the second.
What's it all about? Democrats say that if they had a slight lead, Republicans would demand a recount. Republicans counter that history is on their side, since in 1960 and 1976 they did not demand even a machine recount, let alone a hand one. Democrats then say that this election is closer than those. But this seems to be a convenient rationale, particularly at the epicenter. After all, when Beverly Green, a Republican from Palm Beach County who is black, lost just three months ago a state House of Representatives primary race by 14 votes, she asked for a hand recount; the Palm Beach County board authorized only one by machine. When that showed her losing by only 11 votes and she renewed her request for a hand recount, the board ruled that such a recount could be justified only if machine malfunction or fraud had occurred.
What's it all about? It's about the presidency of the United States, a position much more significant than that of state representative. Winston Churchill supposedly once asked a woman if she would sleep with him for one million pounds; the answer was yes. He then asked if she would sleep with him for two pounds, and she angrily answered, "What do you think I am?" His response was something like this: "We know what you are, madam, and now we're merely haggling about the price."
Churchill was defining her rightly, but the story also shows that the size of the prize affects ethical positions. It's hard for the whole Gore apparatus to avoid cutting corners when the stakes are so high. I suspect some Bush folks also succumb, but here's the difference: Al Gore and William Daley are leading their followers into temptation by pushing for hand counts, because the only way they can win is through that mischief-filled method. This is wrong, but just as Bill Clinton slowly turned some decent aides into accomplices to adultery and false witness, so Mr. Clinton's disciple is corrupting the decent folks in his campaign.
The saddest corruption is that of many reporters. Journalistic pioneers like John Peter Zenger went to jail for the right to be skeptical of official pronouncements. Not so long ago a well-trained reporter standing in front of a white house, and asked the color of the house, would respond, "The front of the house is white." In other words: Don't make assumptions. Eyeball everything. But when network journalists commented over the weekend on Republican affidavits about hand counting irregularities, the typical reportorial response was a shrug-it-off "no problems."
How could a reporter say that, unless he was still watching shortly before 1 a.m. so that he could see a determined Democrat dimple a chad, or a tired, elderly counter drop a pile of ballots? How could he be a lap dog for the Gore message of "let the people decide," after Goreites pressured the Broward and Miami-Dade County boards to reverse themselves and do Al Gore's will, and then change their standards in a desperate attempt to grab more votes? How could he take seriously the Gore campaign's expressed desire for every vote to count, while it was pushing to toss out numerous votes from American soldiers and sailors overseas?
Sadly, journalists who should be truth-tellers now defend the right to lie.

It's no secret that Style Lush writers fully endorse Method cleaning products! Hillary really loves them. So does Beth!
And so do I! They smell great, they're non-toxic and green (plus the bottles look fancy and modern!). But I have to tell you, my preferred bottle of all-purpose cleaner was getting a little played out. I have two little kids and two dogs so I clean every day. I was starting to associate the smell of French lavender with ... DOOM. You know? My bottle was running low so the other day at Target I set about picking a new scent. I noticed the Orla Kiely section and tossed some stuff that looked (and smelled!) promising into my cart.
OH MY WORD. Have you smelled the pear ginger all-purpose spray? I kind of get tempted to drink it every time I clean. I fully intend to buy every bottle they have in stock the next time I'm in Target because I will be SO SAD when it's no longer available!

I also grabbed a few bottles of the vanilla chai scented foaming hand wash ... it's the perfect sweet and spicy scent for fall (and no triclosan! Which helps tremendously with my wedding ring dermatitis).
Have you tried the Orla Kiely for Method line at Target yet? What's your favorite scent?

Junior Daniel Latham posted the 29th save of his Tulane career to surpass the former team record of 28 set by Joey Charron from 2001-04.
May 2, 2006
METAIRIE, La. - Junior closer Daniel Latham set the Green Wave's career saves record and junior designated hitter Tim Guidry had three doubles and a trio of RBI as the Tulane University baseball team defeated McNeese State, 11-8, in the final midweek contest of the 2006 season Tuesday evening at Zephyr Field.
The Green Wave trailed 8-7 after seven and a half innings, but tied the ballgame in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI-double off the bat of sophomore second baseman Brad Emaus. With two out and a runner at second base later in the stanza, the Cowboys let a can-of-corn pop up fall just to the left of the pitchers mound, and the Green Wave used the extra out to score three unearned runs to complete the comeback.
Latham came on in the ninth, and after giving up one-out single to first baseman Tyler Dugas, got a game-ending, 543 double-play ball off of designated hitter Joe Hulett to seal the victory. Latham now has 10 saves on the year and 29 for his career. He broke the former school record of 28 set by Joey Charron from 2001-04, and is now just one save back of USF's Joey Livingston's Conference USA mark of 30 (2001-04).
With the victory, Tulane's ninth in the last 10 games and 11 of its last 13 contests, the Green Wave improve to 31-16 on the year. McNeese State, meanwhile, saw its five-game winning streak come to an end as the Cowboys fall to 27-16.
The Green Wave came out to a rolling start, scoring three runs in each of the first two innings to claim a 6-0 lead. Tulane starter Stephen Porlier allowed just one hit over the first four innings, but the Cowboys scored a pair of runs on three hits in the fifth, and another three in the sixth off of him as centerfielder Charlie Kingrey and Hulett sandwiched home runs around a single by Dugas to cut the lead to one.
A two-out error extended the sixth, and McNeese State made the miscue hurt as second baseman Beau Knowles - who reached on the error - stole second base and scored one hitter later courtesy of an RBI-single by shortstop Shon Landry to things up at 6-all. The Cowboys loaded the bases, but freshman right-hander Nathan Newman was able to get out of the inning without any more damage done.
The Green Wave reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the sixth when Emaus was hit by a pitch to open the stanza and Guidry ripped a one-out double off the wall in left. The Cowboys, however, made the lead a short-lived one as catcher Jeremy Broussard sparked a two-out rally in the seventh with a single, and left fielder James Thibodaux - who started the game in right - hammered a two-run homer to straight-away centerfield to give McNeese State an 8-7 advantage and set up the dramatic home half of the inning.
Reliever Nick Buck, who took the mound with two out in the seventh, struck out the first man he faced in the seventh, but junior first baseman Mark Hamilton followed with a single to right. Senior centerfielder Nathan Southard hit a pop-up to short in the ensuing at-bat that Landry could not glove it cleanly, but Landry got the force-out at second base.
With Emaus at the plate, Southard stole his 23rd base of the year, and the second sacker from Senoia, Ga., ripped a double to left to tie the game at 8-all. Freshman third baseman Seth Henry hit what appeared to be an inning ending popup about 10 feet to the left of the pitchers mound. Cowboys third baseman Bryan Cartie waved off his defensive mates, but the ball dropped harmlessly to the ground and Emaus scored from 180 feet away to give Tulane a 9-8 advantage.
From there, Guidry ripped his third double of the day to left to make it a two-run ballgame, and freshman catcher Max Kwan - who came off the bench to assume backstop duties in the top of the seventh - came through with a clutch RBI-single through the left side of the infield to account for the final score.
Sophomore right-hander Trey Martin (3-0) earned the win with two solid innings out of the bullpen. After giving up Thibodeaux's two-run homer in the top of the seventh, he gave up just a walk over the next inning and a third and got a pair of double-play balls during his time on the hill. Buck (1-2) was saddled with the loss after giving up four runs (one earned) on three hits in an inning and a third of work.
The Green Wave return to action on Friday, May 5, when they open a three-game series against Conference USA newcomer Marshall at 6:30 p.m. at Zephyr Field. The two teams continue the series on Saturday at 2 p.m., and close out the weekend on Sunday with first pitch slated for 1 p.m.
For ticket information, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office at 504-861-WAVE. The Ticket Office has recently returned to its usual location on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center. Tickets can also be purchased on-line at www.TulaneGreenWave.com or www.TicketMaster.com.

David Stockman: The Born Again Jobs Scam, Part 2: The Fed's Labor Market Delusion
Submitted by David Stockman via Contra Corner blog,
Dr.Yellen is at it again. Noting that there is still "slack" in the labor market, she insists that more liquidity pumping action by the Fed is warranted:
"Based on the evidence, my own view is that a significant amount of the decline in participation during the recovery is due to slack, another sign that help from the Fed can still be effective."
Once again, what Yellen is really saying is that our macroeconomic bathtub is not yet full to the brim—owing to insufficient aggregate "demand". The purpose of the Fed's "accommodative" policy, therefore, is to flood the American economy with additional consumer and investment spending—so that "slack" or unutilized labor and capital resources will be "pulled" into production. Thus guided by the visible hand of the Fed, a virtuous cycle of rising spending, output and income will at length levitate our $17 trillion economy to its full-employment potential.
As a practical matter, however, the Fed cannot stimulate additional "spending" unless it can also cause the economy's leverage ratio to rise, thereby supplementing "spending" derived from current income with purchases financed by freshly minted (incremental) credit. Yet the flood of demand by which the Fed endeavors to "pull" idle and underemployed workers back into production cannot be activated if the US economy has reached a condition of peak debt, as I strongly believe to be the case. Indeed, when the credit expansion channel is broken and done, all the Fed's liquidity "accommodation" flows into the Wall Street finance channel where it pulls up the price of existing financial assets, not the employment rate of idle labor.
And it cannot be gainsaid that the Fed is entirely ignoring the facts of peak debt and the broken credit channel it implies. For approximately 35 years, the ratio of household debt to wage and salary income ratcheted steadily upward from 80% to 210%. But once household leverage reached the latter precarious peak under the lunatic mortgage blow-off during 2002-2007, it buckled and now stands at about 180%.
Yet why would it be reasonable to expect a retracement back to the 2007 peak—even if the madness of the student loan explosion continues or sub-prime auto lending keeps surging? These are minor upwellings compared to the $10 trillion mortgage mountain. Besides, a renewed household borrowing binge is not going to happen due to the baby-boom retirement crush, which liquidates household debt, and the "Dodd-Franking" of the banking system, which inhibits lending—risky and otherwise. So the Fed's transmission mechanism to the household sector is blocked.
The same is true of the business sector. After exploding from $5 trillion to $11 trillion in the decade up to the 2007 peak, it has continued to climb owing to the yield-seeking boom in demand for corporate bonds, and now exceeds $13.5 trillion. But virtually the entire $2.5 trillion lift since the financial crisis has gone into financial engineering extractions such as LBOs, stock buybacks and M&A deals. That is, new credit has flowed into the re-pricing of existing assets rather than the acquisition of productive plant and equipment. Indeed, the latter is still $100 billion or 8% below it late 2007 level in real terms, marking the worst 7-year investment performance since WWII. So the business credit expansion channel to higher GDP is blocked, too.
This much is obvious, yet Yellen and her monetary politburo keep on attempting to flood the nation's macroeconomic bathtub with more "demand". Worse still, they fail to note that even if they could induce business and households to bury themselves deeper in debt that it wouldn't necessarily have a salutary impact on the "labor market"— the ostensible target of their strenuous ministrations.
The graphs below are dispositive. The first shows that literally not a single net new NFP payroll job outside of the fiscally-driven HES Complex (health, education and social services) has been created in the US economy since January 2000. There were 106.6 million such jobs when Bill Clinton left office–virtually the same number (106.4 million) reported last Friday for March 2014.
By contrast, the Fed's balance sheet was $500 billion then and $4.5 trillion today–a 9X gain. Needless to say, this comparison does not comprehend a brief interval; it encompasses the greatest monetary policy experiment ever undertaken and suggests that there is no link whatsoever between the Fed's policy of radical balance sheet expansion and job market developments.
A closer look at the HES Complex further underscores the non-existent link between strenuous money printing and the labor market. Nearly half of the 31 million jobs in this sector are in education, including both public and private institutions. It is self-evident that the driving force here is fiscal policy, not the word clouds and monetary injections which emanate from the Eccles Building.
In a word, after robust growth up to the 2007 peak, education jobs have been flat as a pancake because governments are broke. Stated differently, the phony prosperity of the Greenspan Bubble years led state and local governments especially to over expand education spending based on non-sustainable revenue windfalls from the housing and credit binge. That one-time expansion is now deep in the rearview mirror.
Essentially the same thing is occurring in the balance of the HES Complex. Health care job growth is also beginning to slow significantly in response to the tightening fiscal equation at the Federal level. In any event, for several decades it was possible to induce households to buy more autos, big screen TVs and trips to Disneyland on mortgages and credit cards, but that has never been the case for health care. Demand surged for decades due to the perverse incentives of the third-party payment system and heavy government subsidies, not because of the household credit channel through which monetary policy was formerly transmitted.
In short, any reasonable examination of the NFP data based on longer term trends and on disaggregation of the lump-sum monthly number which comprises the Jobs Friday "print" demonstrates the silliness of the Fed's "labor market" excuse for running the printing presses at white hot speed. The graph below, for instance, shows the dismal 14 year trend in good-producing jobs in manufacturing, construction and mining/energy.
Here we are reminded that the US economy is not a closed bathtub. Much of the credit-fueled demand for goods in the decades leading up to the financial crisis "leaked" into foreign production, not increased utilization of domestic capacity and labor. So the dramatic decline of the very best paying jobs in the US economy was a structural issue related to high domestic wage rates and the competitive dynamic of the global economy in tradable goods; it had virtually nothing to do with the massive expansion of the Fed's balance sheet—other than the perverse impact that that the latter permitted the American consumer to live high on the hog on borrowed money used to purchase Chinese manufactures:
Finally, the Fed's serial bubbles have also impacted the job market—but not especially in the manner intended. With each successive inflation of financial assets, households in the upper reaches of the income ladder have been able to increase discretionary spending for leisure and entertainment spending, thereby causing a punctuated rise in the job count . However, jobs in the Bread &Circuses Economy have a pay rate of barely $20k per year—meaning that they have added a lot more to the monthly jobs print than to the real prosperity of the Main Street economy.

I swear to God Dr. Yellen poor David Stockman must feel like the loneliest man on Earth. He speaks wisdom to the deaf, dumb, blind and terminally stupid.
<Can you hear, see or perceive me now?>
It must be the charts David. Moar color is the trick to get the fiat addicted to pay attention.
COMPLETELY OT with this (and plz forgive me if i missed it) , but why hasn't ZH ran anything yet about the Bundy Ranch standoff happening in Nevada ?
There were 106.6 million such jobs when Bill Clinton left office–virtually the same number (106.4 million) reported last Friday for March 2014.
And in 2028? Job growth may have already peaked and if not certainly soon.
The elephant in the room no one (Stockman included) is willing to really address:
Because it is not as interesting as the Bunny Ranch standoff might be. Next OT question?
Question is, does anyone play pinball anymore?
Hell yeah,I've got about 10 of them Joker Poker and Medieval Madness are the best.I probably made 5k each on the Medieval and on a Monster Bash,they go for about 10k each.
My copy of "Dragon" shorted out a few months ago. Very sad.
I should've taken out a loan at 0% a few years ago and bought every copy of "Attack from Mars" I could find.
"I'd be rich, I tell ya'. RICH!"
Attack from Mars is a good one.The Dragon is a system 1 and they are known for bad connections and the CPU board,couple hundred and it should be good to go.If you need help go to google pinball rec group,lots of help.Most of the pinball guys are great,ask any question and they will help,ask me and I can help you also.
Old news.. 15 NDX monthly candles in a row.. April is the 1st red..
when do the zombies start eating peoples faces?
So, credit is tapped out, real wages are falling, and food and energy and healthcare are getting more expensive every day; yeah, if Mr. Market takes off the QE goggles and tries to go back to discounting future earnings, I can see why he might head south.
The recently released figures showing a decline in job formation over recent months may be may be an omen of danger ahead. A big problem is the quality of many of these jobs is poor. This calls into question claims the economy has reached escape velocity and lends credence to claims by others like me that QE and artificially low interest rates are not the answer. These policies and massive government deficit spending can only carry a distorted economy so far. Expect this issue to come front and center in coming months as the Fed will come under increased scrutiny to defend their policies.
The whole concept of economic growth is based on the idea of an ever growing trend of increased production. Overall we seek numbers that reflect an upward and onward slope. When it becomes apparent the economic efficiency of credit is beginning to collapse and the additional money poured into the system coupled with lower rates is no longer effective in driving the economy forward options evaporate. When this happens the extra GDP growth generated by each batch of loans drops and momentum ends this becomes the equivalent of pushing on a string. More on this subject in thw article below.
The run up in FED money printing from '87 to '07 on it's own is astounding - but the run up since '09 is absolutely positively an unsustainable world changing event (third chart).
Not to mention it hasn't done a God Damned thing for employment.
NO GOING BACK you fucking FED tapeworms.
much of what the fed did since '09 is reversible.
Its real simple: The main street economy can't get traction because it is illegal to make a profit. Lets imagine you lost your job and none are available so you create one. Thats illegal. You can't legally make computers (or whatever) in your garage anymore. What you are legally supposed to do are have licences, laywers, and facilities. Who can do that having levered themselves to the hilt trying to keep up the standing required to keep that job they just lost? So the central bank thinks providing liquidity to the capital owning class is going to result in "anybody that wants a job can have one"? Its just not going to happen. A recovery for the long term can only occur when it's legal to make a profit.
I'm pretty sure that the problem with Stockman's charts is that the colors are all wrong, the colors are not colorful enough! If he could redraw them them with more color they would be more accurate. And add some links to pics of Mylie Cyrus or any one of the Kardashians.
Not sustainable. The selloff on 4/10/14 tells you its a long road with a fed and president getting away with murder while congress applaudes. Run, Be openly demanding of change now...
the f___ing truth is

Free MLM Leads are the dream of every networker. After all, leads are the lifeblood of the business, and when you can generate them for free it sets you apart from the crowd in this industry.
There's no doubt that your ability to generate free MLM leads sets the pace of growth of your network marketing business and it's the #1 skill one must master.
You may be a good communicator, presenter and a caring person, but without daily, fresh MLM leads that are interested in what you have to offer, you're a networker out of work.
Specifically, it's important you learn to generate high-quality leads. When we say the words free MLM leads, many people think of MLM genealogy leads or MLM phone leads or some cheap MLM lead lists. Think again. I'm talking about you generating real-time, high-quality MLM leads for free.
Those of us that can generate targeted free MLM leads with social media and search engines enjoy the most precious commodity a networker can have. No matter how you look at it, you are moving your business forward with 100% ROI (Return On Investment). That's smart business!
Folks, it's not rocket science. I will never understand why 95% of networkers sit and stare at a computer screen wondering where their next lead is coming from. There are millions of networkers online. They are friendly and easy to reach. You just need to know how to generate MLM leads for free.
Generating free MLM leads online should truly become a top priority for you.
Here are the best SIX ways to generate FREE MLM LEADS:
1. SEO – Search Engine Optimization is not the voodoo, snake oil, tricky stuff that's been sold out there in the past years. It's now a well defined science that can generate predictable results, fairly fast. And YES, it's very possible to rank on the front page of Google within 7-14 days for long tail keywords. There's nothing like being on Google's front page on the left links to get quality MLM leads. It only cost your time, about 30 minutes a day and some copywriting knowledge.
The best way to generate MLM leads is with a blog. This is really indispensable for online marketing . Then start writing optimized blog posts just like this one. Learn how to install a blog the right way and "SEO optimize it" by downloading this free guide The Ultimate WordPress Blog.
There are hundreds of network marketing subjects and keywords you can use. You can use this Google Keyword tool to research the traffic of each keyword.
By targeting MLM and network marketing long-tail keywords, your blog posts can show up in search engines with hardly any back links. You just need to understand how to craft very good on-page optimization. It's elementary simple. Just a hour from now, you will know everything about on-page optimization. Just download this free guide I wrote: SEO For Networkers Made Simple
If you have a good lead magnet in the sidebar with a decent free offer, you'll catch all the quality MLM leads you want.
Now, if you want to target more competitive keywords you will need to build back links into those blog posts.
I have good news for you.
There is a dirt cheap, but very professional service SYNND that will do all the social syndication for you and drive thousands of back links (the right type of back links) to your blog posts. SYNND is becoming the gold standard for content syndication. Check it out. It will save you a TON of time.
Honestly, ranking optimized blog posts and generating free MLM leads is just not that difficult anymore.
2. Twitter. I used to thinks that Twitter was nothing but a huge online coffee clutch. How naive! Twitter is a powerhouse for driving traffic and network marketing lead generation. Most people have not figured out how to use Twitter for generating leads…. I have. After months of experimentation, I have narrowed down how to generate traffic and free marketing leads with Twitter.
In Twitter Autopilot Leads, I take you through the entire process step-by-step. From setting up your account correctly to automating your entire Twitter operation. It's not that time consuming and it's very effective.
First, with just a couple of Twitter accounts you can get 100 to 300 hits a day on your blog automatically. This will drive direct visitors, but also will raise your position in the search engines. If a page gets action Google will rank it and you'll get search engine leads (the best kind of leads there are).
The second way is by using Twitter to target blog posts and capture pages directly. Of course, all this has to happen within the spirit of the social media environment, not as a spam operation. I cover this step-by-step in the course.
PLUS, with Twitter PPC (a third party application) you can get direct hits to any page you want for 2 dirt-cheap cents per click!
Twitter is also key in getting loads of Facebook friends. Especially now that Facebook has restricted the ability to just browse and friending anyone you want. With Twitter you will have hundreds of people requesting you.
Download that course and in a few days your blog will be on fire generating free MLM leads.
If I would have to sit down with my own daughter and give her the best advice possible to generate MLM leads fast, I would say that blogging and Twitter are at the top of the list.
3. Facebook. Millions of networkers have a Facebook account. Needless to say working Facebook is a super viable way to generate network marketing leads.
a) The "Facebook A-to-Z" section of Supercharged Online Sponsoring tells you everything you need to know about the marketing funnels and techniques you need to generate the best MLM leads using Facebook.
b) Another way to generate MLM leads in Facebook is PPC. Facebook ads are becoming very popular and they are inexpensive. The average is 28 cents per click. The average click in Google costs about $1.50. Because Facebook is a social media site and not an ad platform, the sales funnel has to be set up differently.
4. Article Marketing. This is a preferred method of many experienced marketers to generate traffic and qualified MLM leads. Writing a 500-700 words article every day and then submitting them to hundreds of article directories using Automatic Article Submitter will cause 1) direct traffic from people reading the articles online and 2) articles have back links to your blog, which raise your search engine position. Read this blog post for more information.
5. Press Releases. These are news-style articles where you can cover information in an announcement style and attract people to your blog. There are free and paid Press Releases. Paid Press Releases are a fairly inexpensive way to get on the front page of Google immediately. I mean, if you are in a hurry to get on the front page of Google press releases would be my #1 choice.
The Back Link Syndication System shows you 34 press release interfaces that allow you to submit your press release for free to over 4,300 high PR web sites automatically. They also allow you to include 2 or 3 anchored back links within your press release and generate exclusive MLM leads.
6. Video Marketing. Videos rank in search engines very well and it's actually of the fastest ways to generate MLM marketing leads. Remember, Google owns YouTube. Optimizing videos for network marketing related keywords create traffic straight into your blog. Also posting videos automatically on many video networks create the most valuable back links to your blog posts.
By now I think you understand that almost every traffic discipline in this article has a double wammer benefit: Creating direct traffic and at the same time raise the search engine position of your blog posts, which give you search engine leads. You will find that search engine leads are the best quality.
My recommendation to start getting lots of traffic is to take one of these six disciplines (the one you like the most) and master it. Then move to the next and the next. It will become easier as you go along to generate free MLM leads.
To Your Success!

Sr. Fellow Ivan Eland, author of Partitioning for Peace appeared on Canada's CTV to talk about recent events in Iraq, where Iraqi forces have gone on the offensive against ISIS militants. Eland gives his perspective on Iraq's history and how his idea of partitioning of Iraq is still an outcome that would bring relative peace in Iraq.
