"I used these labels for greeting cards I printed and put together myself, and the label just literally tied it all together and had a great impact on a simple, plain envelope"
"I liked this one quite a bit but it is very delicate looking. Even more so in person with very faint details. I thought the flowers would be a bit more distinguished instead of the outline of petals but it is still VERY PRETTY. Very subtle, pretty and appropriate for spring/summer! Happy to have these as alternate labels!"
"These were perfect for sealing and return-addressing our invitations! I ordered them in orange and love cheerful palette."
"I bought these address labels to go on my RSVP envelopes for our wedding invitations. I chose this style because it nearly perfectly matches the invitations we chose through Wedding Paper Divas. I absolutely love the labels and would buy more in the future just to have around for outgoing mail. Beautiful and classy!"
"Decided to add an artistic touch to our wedding invitations by having labels printed up. Not only did they come out beautifully but I was able to have it reviewed and retouched by the designers at wedding paper divas one last time before making my final decision. They arrived 3 days ahead of schedule."

A YOUNG and passionate ensemble bring their fresh approach to classical music to a celebration of Worcestershire's most famous son.
The Hepplewhite Piano Trio will give this year's Elgar birthday concert at the Elgar Birthplace Museum, Lower Broadheath, near Worcester, on Friday, May 30.
Their programme will include the Worcestershire premiere of Elgar's Three Movements for Piano Trio along with music by the ever popular Frank Bridge and the great German composer Salomon Jadossohn.
Museum director Cathy Sloan said: "The manuscripts for two of the movements are held at the Elgar Birthplace Museum, and the manuscripts will be on display at the museum.
"The pieces have been skilfully edited by the composer Paul Adrian Rooke and they have been recorded twice to great acclaim.
"Surprisingly this will be their first performance in Elgar's home county of Worcestershire, and who better to perform them than the Hepplewhite Trio, given their close connections with the county."
The concert starts at 7.30pm and tickets are £10, including refreshments.
For more information and tickets, go to elgarmuseum.org or call the museum on 01905 333224.

I'm pretty new to the whole charcoal thing, but am really enjoying it. I've been on a search for the perfect ribs and have been trying to do the whole low and slow thing. The problem that I'm having is that I can't seem maintain the temperature for more than one (the starting one) batch of charcoal.
I've tried adding new charcoal to an exising pile, but that doesn't seem to work well for me.
My other method is starting up another chimney and adding it to the grill. This method spikes the temperature in the grill - at least until the air flow is sufficiently cut off. The last several times, the food is cooked too quick at the end - when I added more charcoal.
How do you add fuel, but keep the the grill temp constant?
By the way, the difference between charcoal and gas finally hit me. Most of you have probably caught onto this, but 've been trying to internalize it. Charcoal grilling is more art, while gas is more science (except for those of you with a thousand different thermostats).

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 10.8.13
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed, your daily retreat from your conscience. A place where you're free to make wild assumptions about celebrities based on a single awkwardly timed photograph. Gay sex, you're almost certainly thinking! Or take this shot of Gerard Butler. Sure, gay sex probably works here too, but I know one of you out there has a port-a-potty/300 zinger ready to go. Then there's Denise Richards having no choice but to play along and brush off the spiders before Charlie starts firing a gun at them, Heidi Klum with a penis-shaped object near her face and Joe Jonas wearing a shirt with words written on it, which is a great idea look for him that will in no way get twisted into misconceptions about the type of person he puts his penis in.
Extra homophobia, but no politics. Am I making progress? Discuss,

Outlaws 249-8 (Read 68*, Hussey 48
Lightning 188 (Swann 3-46)
Notts Outlaws won by 61 runs
Read?s defiant 68 not out helped us to our first victory of the season in Division One and he is now looking for us to put a run of results together to move up the table.
He said: "To me, the key to one-day cricket is to build momentum and now we have the first win on the board we can hopefully start a run going.
"There?s no doubt in my mind that we have the squad to perform well on in limited-overs cricket. Now we?ve broken whatever psychological barrier might have built up, we have to work on getting clear on the bottom three and we still have time to do it."
Lancashire had us in trouble at 77-5 in perfect conditions for swing bowling but Read and David Hussey built a 72-run partnership for the sixth wicket, giving Read and Ealham the chance to counter-attack in the last ten overs.
Our seam attack put the pressure on from the start and with Lancashire losing regular wickets we secured a comfortable victory by 61 runs.
Read added: "We were in a spot of bother but I aimed to stay in as long as possible to keep wickets in hand before attacking in the final five overs.
"It was tough going at the start but Russell Warren and Stephen Fleming got us going before David Hussey and Mark Ealham helped me out.
"It?s the way we look to bat and it paid off this time round. It was important to get a win not only for this competition but also to settle us after the loss to Hampshire in the Championship.
"We can now look forward to the Championship match with Sussex with confidence and get our title challenge back on course."

Under the pen name of Harun Yahya, the author has published over a hundred books on a wide range of faith-related issues. An important body of his work deals with the materialistic world-view and its impact on world history and politics.
Harun Yahya's extensive range of books emphasizes most powerfully Allah's message to man. Firmly grounded in the Qur'an, and using the latest scientific methods, Harun Yahya's books lucidly illustrate the miracle of Creation and the innumerable benefits that Allah bestows upon us. Evidence is convincingly gathered by reflecting on the miracles of our own bodies and also from the rich environment that Allah has created for our use. Brilliant colour photography, graphic illustrations and a lucid style of writing logically point out to the reader the Infinite Mercy of Allah!
At its 2004 meeting in Qatar, IBERR examined Harun Yahya's work and discussed whether his books should be included in the syllabuses of IBERR-affiliated schools. Speakers stated that these works were an important component of the syllabus in various schools, such as Islamic schools in Nigeria. Harun Yahya's works attract considerable interest from both students and teachers.
This newspaper, which reported on the IBERR assembly, provided detailed information about the meeting's activities. According to it, an important address on "educational resources," based on Harun Yahya's works, was given.

When two good friends are hunting together in a duck blind, what do they talk about? Answer, everything. I have spent enough years in a duck blind that I know that hunters usually have plenty of time to talk about everything.
So it was with two great hunting buddies, Brett Kloepping and Brook Stanbury. Their down time in the duck blind brought about many topics and finally it landed on the subject of an elk hunt. That was about three years ago and it developed into reality last fall.
In early September, Brett and Brook left Bureau County and headed for Colorado to Unit 19, which is north of Rocky Mountain National Park. They had made arrangements through a Colorado outfitter and were on their way to make this dream a reality.
At Fort Collins, they packed their necessary items on horseback. After about a four and a half hour trip, they arrived at their base camp. This is where they would call home for the next 7-10 days. The outfitter would return to get them in 10 days unless they called in an emergency on the radio phones.
The first afternoon, they basically walked around getting their bearings. The next morning, they started with a little more serious attitude, but by noon, they hadn't seen any. That evening, Brook had a shot at a bull and scored a hit. But try as they would, they couldn't find the elk. They followed the blood trail for several hours into the dark. Finally, about 1 a.m., they called it quits and went back to camp.
Due to the late hour tracking, the next day of hunting didn't start until late morning. Brett and Brook hunted most of the afternoon seeing nothing. Then shortly after 5 p.m., they separated about a quarter mile to sit and wait in a good hiding place.
Shortly after 7 p.m., Brett witnessed a cow and two calves walking up the hill toward him. When she got about 30 yards from him, she stopped. A short distance behind them was a bull. The calves bumped into the cow causing her to move forward. Then the bull walked into the same spot and stopped. Brett's heart was in his throat but he was ready. He released the arrow and it found its mark. The bull turned 180 degrees and ran about 30 feet near some bushes and fell over.
Brett called Brook and soon they were together ready to find the bull. Brett had seen him fall and it had been a half hour, so they went after him. Sure enough, there he was. He was huge. Now reality began to set in and Brett was shaking all over. He knew it was big, but NOT that big. His buddy Brook shared his enthusiasm.
Then they began to field dress the bull. They quartered it, caped it and got it ready to travel in the morning. They headed back to camp and called the outfitter who would bring pack horses the next morning to cart it out. Brett and Brook stayed 4-5 more days. Then it was back to Fort Collins.
The outfitters at Fort Collins told Brett that this was the largest elk taken by bow in Unit 19. By Pope and Young standards, it scored a whopping 353 points. The butcher who processed the rest of the meat said he thought the bull would have been 1,000 pounds on the hoof. Matter of fact, the outfitter told Brett that this elk beat those taken by rifles in their unit.
A lot didn't sink in right away, but the modest Brett Kloepping was thrilled.
"The fact that my long time friend and hunting partner got to share it with me. That's what made it special," he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Two days after a mass shooting in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Jacksonville, just west of downtown, police wrapped up their gathering of physical evidence.
But there was no indication that investigators are any closer to identifying the gunmen who opened fire Sunday evening during a 21st birthday party for three women, shooting 11 people.
"Me and my wife was sitting on the porch there," said witness James Davis, who has lived in the neighborhood most of his life. "All I saw was they had a party down there, and people started shooting and everybody started running."
An 18-month-old girl who was shot has been upgraded to serious condition. The nine adults who were shot, two of whom were pregnant women, are expected to recover, although one of the women lost her unborn child.
Davis' next door neighbor was shot in the mouth.
Davis said he ran inside his home to get to safety, and the more than 100 others at the party also scrambled.
"They were just running. Running and hollering," Davis said.
Police said they finished gathering evidence in the shooting at about 2 a.m. Tuesday and later packed up their makeshift command center. Investigators spent nearly 29 hours set up in the neighborhood gathering those details.
Investigators said they have interviewed about 40 people who were at the party.
The description of the shooters is limited, and no arrests have been made.
"Yeah, I hope the police catch them. I really do," Davis said. "They didn't care nothing about the women. They didn't care nothing about the kids."
Anyone with any information that could help police is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS. Police said they have received tips from the community so far.

Are you planning a trip to New York City and hoping to eat out every day but are afraid the restaurants might be out of your budget? Don't worry – the great thing about NYC is that there are restaurants to suit all budgets. To help you in your search we've teamed up with our friends at TripAdvisor to see what are the top 10 most popular budget restaurants in NYC according to their reviews.
1. Levain Bakery, 167 W 74TH St, Upper West Side, Manhattan
'MissGlobetrot' says: Un-blinking-believable. I had read the reviews on TripAdvisor but still thought that a cookie is just a cookie. How wrong I was. We bought the chocolate and peanut butter cookie for $4 and then went to baked-goods-heaven. It is impossible to articulate here exactly how good it was but our reaction to the cookie drew attention from a complete stranger on the street who nodded knowingly at us before saysing "yep they are incredible".
'kathygreen48' says: Omg!!! The warm chocolate chip cookie melts in your mouth. I thought I died and went to cookie heaven. My oatmeal raisin scone was the perfect balance of sweetness. Yummy!!! Had to make a stop on my way out of town for one last cookie and scone. Will definitely return.
'67531212' says: OK, for all you cookie-lovers this is a message for you: visit Levain Bakery next time you are in NYC! I cannot begin to describe the sensation I felt when I took the first bite of my cookie… Cookie: HUGE, delicious and amazing! They have 4 types of cookies: double-chocolate-chip , oat and raisin, peanut butter and chocolate-chip and walnut-chocolate-chip. We chose peanut…
2. Empanada Mama, 763 9th Ave, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan
'Bigemail' says: Delicious. Very inexpensive for New York… or anywhere. Open 24 hours. Service friendly but somewhat slow. Dining area is very small and I imagine it gets packed during peak times. We went on a Sunday mid-morning for breakfast empanadas. If in Manhattan, it is worth your time to go out of your way to eat at this fine restaurant!
'JackBauer1955' says: My wife and I visited Empanada Mama today and found it to be a wonderful place. The food was great and in addition to the empanada's there are many other things on the menu including home-made soup! We each had 3 empanada's and water and it all came to $17.60! My favorite was the "Viagra" which contained seafood, and my wife's favorite was the "Brasil" which had ground beef with olives, onion and sauce. 3 each was pretty filling and we did not leave feeling stuffed. The place is quite small, so you have to sit close to your neighbour, but that was ok with us. We found it quite clean and would go again. They also have dessert empanada's but we did not try them. For the money, I would call this place excellent.
'alli565' says: We loved that this was close to Times Square and although small, if you catch it before true dinner hour (five pm or so), the food was excellent with a lot of choices, and the empanadas were the best! I was going to order an entree of chicken and rice but decided to do as my family was doing and order several smaller servings of the empanadas to try (at $2.25-$3.00 each). Service was quick, and all of the choices we made were very good! Go there for an inexpensive, different and delicious meal.
3. Amy's Bread, 672 9th Ave, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan
'Tim B' says: We popped into the shop down on Bleeker a few weeks back just for a snack. Got a coffee and chocolate brownie which was by far the best brownie ever, Will be back! One of the few places you don't mind waiting in line for.
'OxfordBlue92' says: Quite simply amazing bakery / sandwich shops. Full with locals eating the best quality bread and cakes. Not cheap but if you want rubbish then go to somewhere else. If you want some of the finest quality bakery food, give this a blast – it's that good.
'bex9993' says: We went here for breakfast as it was only down the road from our hotel. We got a sticky bun and a brownie…both great but the sticky bun was AMAZING. Really busy in there with locals and really worth it if you are in the area.
4. Patzeria Perfect Pizza, 231 W 46th St, Midtown, Manhattan
'WineMeister' says: This small but amazing little gem is great for grabbing a quick bite before the show or if you're just passing by. They will make slices to your order and heat them up quickly. For a slice and a soda the price averages about 7.00 or maybe less, but, it's a BIG slice and STACKED with toppings (at least mine was). There are only 3-4 counter seats an no other seating so this is not really a "dine-in" type place, but deserves a visit if your hunger is calling and you are in the neigbourhood. Very nice and polite staff make for an effortless quick bite experience.
'Needatissue' says: If you don't mind standing or are going to do take-out, this is the best place. The Pizza is the best. Try the grandmas and get ready. If you don't like garlic you may have a problem. The crust of all the pizza's is perfectly crisp and flavorful. I wish we had one in Miami…
'davealoha' says: While in NY we visited several Pizza places. Lombardi's, Artichoke, Oringial Ray's, Famous Ray's and others. While I recommend that you try everything your heart desires I also recommend Patzeria Perfect Pizza if you can only go to one place and you are short on time. My Reasons: The location is near most of the theaters. No Line! Unlike Lombardi's or other famous pizza places we never had to wait in line. Grandma Pizza was wonderful! Crispy crust, tasty sauce and just the right amount of cheese. I'm sure there are others we must try but for this trip it was the best!
5. Num Pang Sandwich Shop, 21 E 12th St, Union Square, Manhattan
'verycriticaltraveler' says: OMG are these sandwiches delicious or what?!!! The night before I had a $300 dinner at one of NYC's finest, but the sandwich I had the next afternoon at Num Pang was hands down the best meal I've had in NYC, ever. The buns are toasted, warm and crisp. The meat, glazed pork belly, has the right amount of fat and sauce. The vegetables on the sandwich perfect. And the sauce divine. The brisket sandwich was every bit as good. The sausage a little spicy but also a great choice. Roasted corn is wonderful as is but imagine it with a mayonaisse/chipotle-ish sauce, toasted coconut, and fresh lime on it? So, so good. If I worked in that area I would eat there every day. I don't even live in NY, but next time I am there I'll take a trip to Union Square for this sandwich again. Okay — one more superlative. I ate a sandwich at Cafe Viena in Barcelona and they have a sign in their shop saysing Mark Bittman says that this ham sandwich is the "best sandwich" he's ever eaten. It was good. Very good. But the glazed pork belly sandwich at Num Pang is the best sandwich I've ever eaten!
'JAS57NY' says: Hole in the wall (literally) sandwich shop – no substitutions or variations accepted – pick one of 15 or so sandwiches and enjoy. (I can't comment on the sides, never wanted any). If you are expecting some perfectly crafted, easy to eat, artfully prepared sandwich this is not for you. If a sandwich that may slide around, or drip down your chin or on your clothes if you are not careful turns you off, stay away. If you are dining with an important client or new date you are trying to impress, pick somewhere else. But if you are willing to eat alone, or have your companions see you in the throws of culinary orgasm (which just might get messy!), this place is da bomb! Yes it isn't perfect, and yes all the sandwiches taste very much the same – but that is a good thing!!! I definitely go back, over and over and over again!
'dinkG' says: We got the Five Spice Glazed Pork Belly sandwich and I am wishing I had one to eat on a daily basis. The flavors are amazing together and such a fun experience for my taste buds!! The pickeled japanese pear is wonderful with the pork belly and sriracha sauce added wonderful heat to balance the sweet.
6. 53rd & 6th Halal, 53rd Street, Midtown, Manhattan
'imsupafly' says: I don't get how something could be so simple and plain looking, could be so good! Street food at its best, cheap eats and popular among everyone, there is a huge line all the time. Place opens from 7pm til 4am I think, great spot to hit up after hanging out all night.
'MeghaB' says: I used to always says that I will never eat street meat… until I tried this. I couldnt believe the quality and the freshness of the food – this is the only street meat I will ever eat at!! So don't hesitate!
'lauraincal' says: Its a small street vendor on the corner of 53rd and 6th and its always crowed, that's because the food is REALLY good. Its freshly made and you can decide between chicken, lamb or mixed. You'll get a big bowl with meat, rice, salad and bread. You can also choose a sauce, either a mild yogurt based one or a hot red sauce. The food was freshly made, hot and delicious. You can also buy drinks, they're only $1 with the food. The bowl itself if $6 which is a reasonable price.
7. Ess-a-Bagel, 359 1st Ave, Murray Hill, Manhattan
'Hallie G' says: I walked 3 miles in 23 degree weather to get to this place but it was SO worth it. Service was great despite the place being totally packed, and everything was very affordable. The bagels were big, soft, and warm but not toasted; my FAVORITE. They sure do know how make some good cream cheese too. They had a huge assortment of bagels and cream cheeses, all looked delicious. Mine tasted heavenly. The people who worked there were very friendly and cheery despite the busy atmosphere.
Spotngrey' says: I have never tasted better bagel ever since I had bagel there. I always go back whenever I visit NY. People who work there are all friendly. Jalepeno cream cheese with toasted everything bagel and a coffee make me weep everytime I go there!! The value is unbeatable.
'ARTravelers' says: They are, without a doubt, the best bagels I ever had. They are so good we bought two dozen last week and brought them home on the plane. They now are sealed and in our freezer to enjoy in the coming months. We go there every time we are in NYC. Go there, it is worth the wait!! My only suggestion would be they put a lock on the restroom door.
8. Two Little Red Hens, 1652 2nd Ave, Upper East Side, Manhattan
'ohsmartymarty' says: Best cupcakes in the city! If you love chocolate, the brooklyn blackouts are for you – and if you have a microwave at home – take it home and after twenty seconds in the microwave you will be in heaven! Everything in here is good, some people may say it is slightly more expensive than other places in the city, but when everything is so good, who cares about an extra 75 cents!
'Fei26' says: Its a little little shop with just 3 tables that has the best cheesecake in NY (and we have tasted a lot!) and a fridge display with their amazing buttercream frosted cakes that you just want to eat them all at once!
'Missy_Lina' says: This little bakery is superb!! They offer cupcakes which are amazing and the New York cheesecake is the absolute BEST you will ever taste. Perfect and fluffy, not too sweet and the base is a delicious biscuit. An absolute MUST for anyone traveling to NYC – well worth the travel from any part of town!!
9. Cranberry Deli, 115 W 45th St, Manhattan
'pattib22' says: Great, fresh food, lots of selections, good prices, efficient and fast service. Should be rated higher! A must visit in New York City. We stopped for lunch several times – sometime carry out and sometimes we carried our food upstairs to the seating area. Enjoyed our food and the people watching – a steady stream or diners coming through from NY cops, tourists, and locals.
'RabyFamily' says: Each time our family goes to NYC, we always eat at least once at the Cranberry Deli. The food choices are wonderful and the prices are fair. Each of us can get what we want to eat and drink. The staff is always friendly and the food prepared well. The location is great if you are on your way to or from Times Square.
'lipglossqueen' says: This place does many different types of food which was delicious and at great prices. Even though there are so many places to eat in NYC…we found ourselves going back here a few times as we were so impressed
10. Rice to Riches, 37 Spring St, NoLita, Manhattan
'Imaspen' says: This unique dessert place is one of my favorite places to visit when in NYC! I had my doubts, but the rice pudding is really unbelievably fantastic. Besides many flavor choices you can also enjoy 12 different toppings. I love the humorous slant and friendly staff. You MUST try it at least once – you will be hooked. My favorite is the vanilla pudding with toasted coconut on top. Mmmmm…
'SanAmsterdam' says: We had our dessert here…and what a nice place this is…! Can definitely recommend the cheesecake rice pudding. Super tasty..! Also pay attention to the texts and funny comments everywhere. When in neighborhood, certainly worth a visit…can't go wrong here.
'Kingscountygal' says: Who would have imagined there could be so many different flavors of Rice Pudding EVERYWHERE!! The little dishes they come in are kinda neat too, a perfect place to get something sweet after strolling around Little Italy!

WWDC: Apple Offers Impressive 2880x1800 MacBook Pro, Lesser Macs, OS X 10.8

Apple is looking to make its ultrathin product line the models to beat amid tougher competition
It's that time a year again. Love it or hate it, Apple, Inc. (
) no industry player is perhaps as much of a showman as this Cupertino company. P.T. Barnum once remarked, "Without promotion something terrible happens... Nothing!"
Apple tirelessly promotes itself year-round. But, of all the events on Apple's yearly calendar, one name has
come to dominate
in recent years -- the
Worldwide Developer Convention
While much of the attention, as always if fixated on the company's iPhone/iOS announcements, at this year's WWDC 2012 keynote address Apple also announced a slew of new additions to its personal computer line, including the release of its new version of OS X,
OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion"
, new MacBook Pros/Airs (and maybe even new iMacs...waiting on that).
Here's a taste of what
new Apple CEO Tim Cook
offered up:
I. Laptops
i. MacBook Airs (11-/13-inch)
Of all categories laptops are a place where Apple is most competitive in terms of cost versus deliverables versus its rivals. While Apple has delivered on certain fronts (e.g. small form factors with the Mac Mini), it's hard to deny that there's a big "Apple Tax" on Mac Pro desktops.
Laptops are a place where that "Apple Tax" is largely a case of you get what you pay for. Apple has long competed with another pricey player -- Sony Corp. (
) to deliver the thinnest, lightest, most full-featured ultrathins. Now with
ultrabooks coming from a slew of other companies
, Apple has to put on its 'A' game.
At the 2012 WWDC keynote Apple announced new 11- and 13-inch MacBook Airs. The new designs pack a new dual-core 1.7 GHz (11-inch) or 1.8 GHz (13-inch)
Ivy Bridge
third-gen Core i-Series CPU
from Intel Corp. (
), up to 8 GB of DRAM, and up to 512 GB of NAND flash storage in the SSD-driven designs.
The base configuration comes with a 64 GB (11-inch)/128 GB (13-inch) SSD and 4 GB DRAM (both).
The new Airs also add USB 3.0 support to the two onboard ports that grace either side of the laptop (legacy USB 2.0 support is also maintained). The USB 3.0 inclusion isn't exactly glamorous, but it at least fills in a long criticized lack in Apple's line. A 720p FaceTime camera is also added, for those who use Apple's video-chat service.
The bad news for those Apple fans who have been blasting laptop makers for their "garbage" "low-resolution" displays, is that Apple is sticking with its low-resolution 1440x900 pixel LCD units in the MBA line (but wait, there is a silver lining, read on) -- not even bleeding edge by its own standards. Unlike many upcoming Windows 8 designs, there's still no touch on the screen -- for better or worse.
There's also no discrete graphics, MBA owners will have to make due with integrated HD 4000 graphics from Intel. The 11-inch starts at $999 USD (filling the slot once occupied by the defunct MacBook) and the 13-inch starts at $1199 USD.
ii. MacBook Pros (13-/15-inch)
Next up is the MacBook Pro refresh.
Apple first unveiled a 13- and 15-inch models -- relatively ho-hum designs, with 1280x800 and 1440x900 pixel (respectively) displays and new
Ivy Bridge
CPUs. The pair start at $1199 and $1799 a pop, respectively. The 13-inch has 2.5 and 2.9 GHz dual-core CPU options, while the 15-inch model's processor options are bumped to 2.3 and 2.6 GHz quad-core chips.
The base configurations comes with 4 GB DRAM and a 500 GB HDD. The new Pros are 0.95-in. thick and weigh 4.5 and 5.6 lb, respectively.
An upgraded 17-inch model was not mentioned, it's possible Apple is eliminating that SKU.
iii. "Next Generation" MacBook Pro (15.4-inch)
But wait -- Apple packed a surprise -- a much more impressive single new entrant into the MacBook Pro line. Tim Cook teased, "With the MBA, the team did something bold. There were aggressive in embracing new tech. They also got rid of stuff that was trending out. That enabled them to do something bold. So we've been asking the team to think about what would make the next gen MBP?"
"Want to know the answer? You want it to have a killer new display. You want an architecture built for the future, you want it to be light. You want it unlike anything else. Want to see it? Let's show it now. The most beautfiul computer we have ever made."
Remember those dashed "Retina Display" hopes with the Air? Well Apple is including an incredible 15.4-inch 2880x1800 pixel display on its high-end laptops. So MBP gets double the resolution, while the MBA gets a miniscule bump.
MacBook Pro's flagship model indeed received a Retina display.
Tim Cook remarks of the new screen on the 'Pro, "The pixels are so small that your retina cannot discern them."
Among the apps promised to make good use of that impressive resolution are Apple's own Mail, Safari (browser), iMovie, iPhoto, Aperture, and Final Cut Pro. Apple's frienemy Adobe Systems Inc. (
) is also offering
HD Photoshop
, while AutoDesk, Inc. (
) is giving the high-resolution treament to its AutoCAD app.
For the gamers out their Activision Blizzard, Inc. (
) Retina display
Diablo III
was briefly demoed.
The new "Next Generation" 15-inch MacBook Pros are also as thin as the Air (0.71 in.) and only weigh 4.46 lb. What's more they also feature GeForce GT 650M graphics (1 GB GDDR5) from NVIDIA Corp. (
) (
This new super-ultrathin packs up to a 768 GB SSD (yes, you read that right). It gets the same 7 hour battery life as its lesser 'Pro brethren, despite its 220 ppi screen. The discrete graphics remain unchanged, but it supports an upgrade to a 2.7 GHz CPU and support for up to 16 GB of DRAM. Bluetooth 4.0 is onboard.
The base configurations comes with 8 GB of DRAM, a 256 GB NAND SSD, and a 2.3 GHz quad-core chip. That variant costs $2199 USD, a cost Apple promises is due to all its custom components like "asymmetrical fans" and other ultrathin oddiities.
All the new laptops are available immediately to ship, according to Tim Cook
II. OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion"
Microsoft Corp. (
) has received
much criticism
including from Apple
) for boldly importing pieces of its mobile operating system du jour (namely
the Metro UI bits
) into its
upcoming Windows 8
. In many ways Apple is following a similar approach, bring onboard more iOS-like features, after first opening up the App Store expansion
Mac App Store
That said Mountain Lion's new features mark slightly less of an extreme makeover than Microsoft's arguably, and thus should be a bit less of a system shock to veteran users (though on the flip side potentially passing on the benefits of a more extreme redesign).

i. Yay Cloud
Craig Federighi previewed the new OS.
Apple claims that there are 65 million Macs in the wild, with 26 million of those on OS X 10.7 Lion. Humorously Apple bragged that its own OS outsold Windows 7. Of course it's talking about percent adoption within its drastically smaller user base, but in Apple's world it's the
"fastest"* selling operating system in history
(*=some restrictions may apply). So take that, reports of slowing OS X Lion adoption.
Mountain Lion brings iCloud integration. Apple has added "Documents in the Cloud" to iCloud, which allows you to use Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Preview, and TextEdit options to present or edit your content on the go.
The new OS also supports cloud data backup (AirPlay mirroring) when its in "sleep" mode. The process is done silently and power-efficiently, according to Apple.

ii. New Apps
The new OS introduces 3 new apps -- messages, reminders, and notes -- whose purposes are pretty self-explanatory. Apple also has integrated dictation with a Siri-like icon into Mountain Lion. It even works, as Apple humorously notes in Microsoft Word.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion also introduces 3 new core apps. [Image Source: The Verge]
Then there's the notifications -- a feature some disliked in preview builds. (Apple has added the ability to turn them off at least.) Sharing has also been made easier with Apple's GUI offering many options such as Twitter, Facebook, AirDrop, or Message.
A new build of the Safari browser is also onboard with unified search (like Google Inc.'s (
Other new features include the "Gatekeeper" security app, offline reading lists, Mail VIPs, LaunchPad Search, and more -- 200 in all by Apple's estimation. Apple is also looking to woo Chinese buyers with freshly added Baidu.com, Inc. (
) support and an improved Chinese dictionary.
iii. Availability
Apple is releasing Mountain Lion next month for $19.99 USD. The license is good for installing on any supported existed (Apple) system. For those buying the aforementioned fancy new laptop designs, they will receive a free bump to Mountain Lion, so early adopters won't be burned (not that $20 USD is a big deal after you've ponied up $2200 USD for that new MBP).

I really enjoyed this video. Its odd how things stay so well preserved in the ocean. I hope they do a second video so we can see how these items looked cleaned up, after they were pulled up from the bottom of the ocean. Looking at how small this island is, and they have cars there, amazing!

My high school students told other students they had watched a "great film" in Latin class. That's a good review! I felt great about using class time to show a real-world application of Classics studies.

Church of the Holy Sepulcher
The religious scene in Jerusalem is complicated even for tourists. Before planning our day, my guide asked me my religion. Local guides know that, among Christians interested in seeing Jesus' tomb, most Protestants prefer the tomb in the Garden Tomb while Catholics like the tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. While I'm Lutheran, this is one case where I definitely go with the Catholics.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is built upon the summit of Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified. Because it's holy for all kinds of Christians, who see things differently and don't communicate very well, it's a cluttered religious hodgepodge of various zones — each controlled by a different sect. There are chapels for Greek Orthodox, Franciscans, Coptic Christians, Armenians and so on — each run by a different community or sect. To make any decision about the church in general, they need to agree unanimously. That's why nothing much gets done here in the holiest church in Christendom…and it feels that way.
Of the Stations of the Cross, most lie along the Via Dolorosa. But the last five are actually in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Number 10 is where Jesus was undressed, and Number 11 marks where he was nailed to the cross. Number 12 is where he was crucified. Number 13 is where his body was given to Mary. And finally, number 14 marks his tomb. Each is busy with pilgrims.

The Lightning Round Health Questions
You're afraid of commitment. And when you visit the bookstore, browsing shelves that look ready to snap under the weight of the latest novel by Franzen or Chabon, you can't help but calculate the weeks, sometimes months it will take you to get through all those pages. Give yourself a break. Reach for a short story.
A short story is a red-faced sprint. A short story is a one-night stand you'll remember years later in the shower or on a two-lane country highway. A short story is a precisely cut diamond. A short story is a glimpse — like the flash and buzz of a hummingbird — that stills your breath with its beauty. A short story, because it is short, can forgivably push boundaries, take risks. A short story attends to language in a gymnastic way that would exhaust any reader past 20 pages. A short story is impressionistic. A short story is a shot of whiskey, a snort of cocaine, a hand on a hot stove. A short story demands strenuous attention, supplying only the most essential components of character and narrative, asking the reader to infer the rest.
A short story can be perfect — a novel cannot. See for yourself.
By Karen Russell
Knopf, $25
The past few years have brought a surge of fabulism, with Russell as one of its most celebrated champions. Her second collection is delightfully weird. In the title story, a century-old marriage between two vampires (who satisfy their thirst by gnawing on lemons) is suffering because the husband has developed a fear of flying. In the most moving story, "The New Veterans," a massage therapist heals a war vet by kneading his tattoos.

Behavioral: Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy
Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET; Ford & Russo, 2006) is a manualized gender-specific treatment for PTSD. TARGET teaches a practical 7-step sequence of skills for processing and managing trauma-related reactions to current stressful experiences, summarized by a mnemonic ("FREEDOM"), e.g., Focusing ("F"), Recognizing current triggers. TARGET also involves creative arts activities, i.e., personalized "lifelines" via collage, drawing, poetry, and writing that may include traumatic experiences but emphasize "life story" narrative reconstruction with no exposure therapy.

12 weekly sessions of one-to-one PCT (psychotherapy)
Behavioral: Present Centered Therapy (PCT) - psychotherapy
Present Centered Therapy (PCT) is a 12-session supportive therapy adapted a 14-session version co-developed by the first author (McDonagh-Coyle et al., 2005). Psychoeducation is provided about the link between traumatic events, PTSD symptoms, and problems in relationships, and social problem solving skills are taught to address the "traumagenic dynamics" of betrayal, stigma, powerlessness, and sexualization (Finkelhor, 1987). PCT focuses on addressing current problems rather than trauma memory-based exposure therapy, and uses a distinctive mnemonic to organize the skill set. PCT has clients keep a journal of relational stressors and responses as between-session homework.

The study is a randomized clinical trial comparing two stress management counseling interventions with a wait-list comparison condition to determine their efficacy in addressing behavioral, cognitive, affective, and interpersonal effects of PTSD that often occurs for persons living in adverse socioeconomic circumstances and in violent families and communities. One goal of the study is to reduce the severity of or produce remission from PTSD, in order to reduce impulsivity, aggression, dissociation, and isolation by high-risk or previously incarcerated women. The long-term goal, which will be assessed in subsequent studies over time is to reduce the likelihood of their or their children becoming involved in, or victimized by other persons' involvement in, illegal activities. Children will not be involved in the present study, only women who are the mothers of young children.
Aim #1: To test the efficacy of TARGET and PCT. TARGET (Frisman, L., Ford, J. D., Lin, H., Mallon, S., & Chang, R., 2008) and PCT (McDonagh A, Friedman M, McHugo G, Ford J, Sengupta A, Mueser K, Demment CC, Fournier D, Schnurr PP, Descamps M., 2005) have demonstrated efficacy in randomized trial studies, but have not been tested specifically with mothers of young children. The study will assess outcomes that are of potential importance not only for the well being of the participating women but for their ability to develop secure attachments with their child which are protective against exposure to violence, crime, and victimization and associated with positive psychosocial development by children. Outcome measures reflect self-regulatory capacities compromised by trauma that are essential for effective caregiving by adults.
Aim #2: To compare the efficacy of TARGET and PCT on theory-based differential outcomes. TARGET and PCT use similar but different therapeutic strategies. Each teaches skills for managing negative emotions and critical symptoms (e.g., inhibiting impulsivity). TARGET teaches a skill sequence for affect regulation and social/interoceptive information processing, while PCT teaches a skill sequence for recognizing and solving problems in relationships. We expect that TARGET and PCT will reduce stress-related avoidance and depression and enhance active coping with current stressors. TARGET should be superior to PCT in enhancing the ability to cope with trauma memories, stress reactivity, and anxiety, and therefore the ability to remain free from illegal activities or future or further involvement with criminal justice systems. PCT should be superior to TARGET in enhancing the participant's overall social adjustment.

Italy kicks French hope
Published: February 5 2013 - 3:00AM
FRANCE coach Philippe Saint-Andre said it's back to the drawing board ahead of its date against Wales in Paris after Italy kicked France's Six Nations hopes into touch with an impressive 23-18 win on Sunday.
Les Bleus' last visit to Italy, in March 2011, ended in a 22-21 defeat the Azzurri's first Six Nations win over France.
Two years on, Jacques Brunel's improving side put in a convincing display that should send opponents rushing to study video footage.
''The grand slam is lost, not the tournament. Now we have to turn our attention to Wales before they come to Paris next week,'' said Saint-Andre, who was quick to congratulate Italy's performance.
''You have to says hats off to Italy,'' he said.
After a promising November Test series produced three wins over Australia, Argentina and Samoa, France was regarded as tournament co-favourites along with England.
But at the Olympic Stadium, with Italy desperate to build on strong performances from November, against Australia and New Zealand, the hosts had other ideas.
Italy went 7-0 up after seven minutes when captain Sergio Parissse touched down for a try and Luciano Orquera converted.
France battled back on 11 minutes when Louis Picamoles scrambled over for the try, only for fly-half Frederic Michalak to miss the conversion.
France then spurned the chance to add another five-pointer when Wesley Fofana's off-load to the unmarked Fulgence Ouedraogo on the right went into touch.
France fought back to take a 15-13 half-time lead after Benjamin Fall's 33rd minute try and a conversion from Michalak, who had also scored a penalty just before the half-hour.
But the visitors ultimately failed to finish off the job when in try-scoring positions in the second half.
Orquera's replacement, Australian-born Kris Burton, provided what turned out to be the match-winning drop goal.

Gym class was not a great time for me.
To understand exactly how painful grade school PE was back in my day, you must experience "Go, You Chicken Fat, Go." Back in early 1960s, PE was all about preparing for and passing the Presidential Fitness Test, which was JFK's youth fitness standards. "Go, You Chicken Fat, Go" [1] was a ridiculous song written expressly for the Presidential challenge and sung by a guy named Robert Preston. Every single day during PE class, we did calisthenics as it blasted over the PA system on repeat. We'd do pushups, jumping jacks, squat thrusts, chinups, all while listening to this masterpiece – I think I'm finally realizing why I hated strength training and gravitated toward long distance endurance events for the bulk of my youth! We occasionally got to play dodgeball, and those were good days. Head shots were allowed and even encouraged. No PC stuff anywhere.
My first year of high school gym was rough, too. You see, I placed out of a few of my classes, so they bumped me up to an all-senior PE class as a freshman. I actually don't remember all that much about the PE curriculum. It might have been great, but I wouldn't have known because I was too busy avoiding purple nurples and dodging rat tails [2] in the locker room. Oh, and back then we had to shower during gym, so wet towels were exclusively used for rat tail production. Let's just say that you really don't know pain until you've felt a sopping wet rat tail inscribe itself across your lower ribcage. Fun stuff. Once spring track season rolled around, though, I was the top point man on the team, usually winning the mile and two mile, and placing in the pole vault. That got me some cred and made the rest of high school bearable.
But gym was never great for me.
So today, I'm going to explain what I'd change about gym class if I was given the chance to teach or administer it. I suppose the first thing I'd change about physical eduction in schools is to make sure it still exists! Standardized testing, and all the madness that surrounds and enables it, along with tight budgets, have forced schools to cut the "non-essentials," including gym, music, and art. I've definitely got nothing against math, social studies, science, and English, but being active is just as essential as those subjects. Heck, even recess is getting cut in some places. That's just criminal.
No, I'm not considering a new career path, and no, this isn't a policy discussion. I'm not proposing comprehensive school reform (although that's probably what it'd take to work). I'm just having fun. In the process, hopefully I outline some tangible activities you parents find helpful enough to try. The "revolution," if there's going to be one, must start at the local level. You start legislating education from afar and you end up with stuff like the "Go, You Chicken Fat, Go" song playing on repeat over an aging PA system and scaring an entire generation away from pullups. You can't rely on that. You have to be the change you seek, whether that's playing tag with your kids on weekends, banding together with other concerned parents for "PE meetups" outside of school, or putting pressure on your kids' schools to make time for gym and recess. Maybe you could even be a PE teacher and start the change from the inside (though I don't know how much freedom PE teachers get to construct their own programs).
If I was put in charge of leading gym class, I'd only employ competent coaches with athletic or training backgrounds. No more math teachers filling in because there's no money to hire a dedicated coach. They'd have to be certified through something like NCSA [3], and there would be a lengthy interview process. All teachers would have to be physically fit themselves, able to perform and teach (including scaling up or down for all fitness levels) basic strength and conditioning movements, and be willing to go on record against Chronic Cardio [4] (Ok, that last one's a joke. Kinda.).
For grade school kids, I'd:
Abolish chairs [5]. You ever see a kid squat [6]? They do it effortlessly. Toes pointed forward, nice neutral spine, butt to calves, and they can sit there forever. They don't need chairs at school. Desks are tall enough and the ground is perfect for sprawling out and getting work done. Yeah, this isn't a gym class thing, but so what? It's my post.
Instate a mix of free play and structured exercise, including:
MovNat [7]. This is the prime time to teach kids to move naturally through the environment. Balance, climbing, crawling, jumping, all of it. Their joint mobility is unencumbered by years of sitting and sedentary living (because, well, they've only been alive for half a decade), so MovNat will come naturally (get it?). Erwan [8], you down for a career change?
Strength training once a week. A lot of bodyweight basics – pullups [9], pushups [10], squats [11], planks [12], overhead presses [13] – plus some light weighted movements, like learning how to hip hinge [14] to pick stuff up off the ground (deadlifts, basically, not for weight, but for the movement pattern). Most kids do this naturally, but that goes away pretty quick. This basic weekly refresher course would keep it. And no, strength training does not stunt growth.
Sprints [15] once a week. Six or seven all-out sprints with a couple minutes of rest in between. Kids love to run and this is a great outlet for it.
Mile runs every week. If you can run a mile well, you're in pretty good shape.
Field trips to the wilderness for long hikes. Maybe two or three times a month get kids outside for daylong hikes. Bring along the science teachers and make it educational! This would also be a great opportunity to teach MovNat fundamentals.
A fully outfitted jungle gym with the regular stuff – swings, ladders, multiple levels, slides – and not-so-regular stuff – rings, dip bars, horizontal bars, climbing ropes. Kids would learn how to climb, swing, and play on and around the equipment, maybe even with a gymnastics day every couple weeks, but there would also be free days. I'm thinking epic matches of hot lava monsters, personally.
Lots of free time, with the equipment and space (and some nudging if necessary) to do the following:
Dodgeball. It develops catching, dodging, throwing [16], spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, agility, pain tolerance, with just enough healthy competition to teach you how to win and lose.
Tag. This will usually sprout up organically, but just in case it doesn't, I'll be "it" first.
Capture the flag. Teamwork, strategizing, sprints. The perfect fusion of brains and brawn [17]. And, it's super fun.
For high schoolers, I'd do much the same, with a few changes:
Push strength training to twice a week. Bodyweight exercises, employing all the essential movements [18], with the option to progress to weighted exercises if the student prefers. Just three or four compound exercises each session, two or three sets per. I doubt the school could stock enough barbells and weights for forty kids at once, so we'd have to use a lot of cheaper, more versatile equipment – sandbags, kettlbebells, medicine balls, slosh tubes. Imagine if everyone knew how to squat, deadlift, and press with perfect form that was ingrained at a young age?
Mobility work, daily, as a five to ten minute warmup. Teens are not quite as limber as kids, but far more mobile than most adults, so we can get 'em before they stiffen up. I'd draw from MobilityWOD [19]'s trove of movements.
More MovNat.
Wrestling. I remember doing a bit of this in grade school PE. I wasn't very good (too small and there were no weight classes), but it was fun. I could definitely see wrestling as a great way to teach kids practical self-defense. And wrestling makes for an interesting, visceral anatomy lesson.
Lots of play. Of course, I'd promote Ultimate [20] as the, well, ultimate fun game for teens. Lots of running, jumping, changing directions, throwing, catching, predicting flight paths, orchestrating plays and generally having a blast. A kid who can learn the basic skills of Ultimate can probably play any sport with competency later in life. I'll admit that I'm having a hard time imagining cynical teens playing without a shred of irony, but maybe if those same teens came up in my mythical grade school PE curriculum, they'd be different. Who knows.
It's not about burning calories. I'm not overly concerned with seven year olds failing to engage in high intensity interval training or deadlifting their own bodyweight. Kids simply need to move. At their age, they need to jump, leap, and flail their arms as often as possible. They need to twist out of the way of an incoming rubber ball or classmate's outstretched hand. Bruises, grass stains, and scraped knees need to be part of the normal curriculum, and I want to see some of the more arcane versions of tag unearthed and field researched by our youngest scholars. It is during childhood that the innate human need to move must be encouraged, rather than stifled, because it will set the tone for the rest of that child's life. Look, kids pop out of the womb wanting to move and touch and grab and experience. You know how babies are always looking wide-eyed and amazed at everything? That's because they are. And once they figure out how to clamber onto their two feet, they're off climbing, running, waddling, and yes, falling to explore this interesting new world. We gotta keep that going!
I think my "program" would work (if competent teacher/coaches were widely available and lawsuits were rare) and it would help get kids off on the right track toward a lifelong appreciation of movement. At the very least, it'd be better than whatever we have now.
What do you think? Readers, parents, teens? Is my vision for PE pure fantasy without any real chance? Are things really as dire as I've been led to believe? If you could change something about gym class, what would it be? Let me know in the comment section.
As you may know, next Tuesday – just six days away – marks the official release of my new book, The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation. It's designed to walk you through, step-by-step, the first three weeks of going Primal, getting healthy, and taking control of the rest of your life. Since three weeks is a relatively short period of time, I worked hard for the better part of two years to iron out the details and make sure that it actually works. Well, it does, and I'm confident that this could be the bridge to break through to the mainstream. If you couldn't tell already, I'm pretty excited. I'll be releasing more details next week, but I'm gonna need your help. Are you with me?

More than 100 artists honour George Jones at tribute show
More than 100 artists including Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, Kid Rock, Megadeth and Brad Paisley took to the stage in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday night (22Nov13) to honour late country legend George Jones. The date at the city's Bridgestone Arena had originally been booked by Jones to host his final show before retirement, but the gig was transformed into a memorial concert following his death in April (13) at the age of 81.
The cream of country music turned out to honour Jones at the event, billed as Playin' Possum: The Final No Show, which was opened by Big & Rich, who sang 1965 hit Love Bug while riding lawn mowers on stage. The duo's act was a reference to the late singer's infamous drunken ride to a liquor store on a lawn mower after his wife took away his car keys.
The sold-out show featured 112 artists over four hours, including George Strait, Martina McBride, Eric Church, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Atkins, Montgomery Gentry, Thompson Square, Vince Gill and duets by married stars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.
Jamey Johnson also paired with heavy metal band Megadeth to play 1998 single Wild Irish Rose, with Dave Mustaine saying of the band's inclusion in the line-up, "Heavy metal is all about rebellion, and George was definitely a rebel."
The show was closed by Alan Jackson, who performed Jones' hit He Stopped Loving Her Today and branded him "the greatest country singer that ever was".
Country veteran Reba McEntire had been due to take part in the event, but had to withdraw due to illness, and she posted an apology to Jones' widow, Nancy, on her Twitter.com page, writing, "Lost my voice tonight at the George Jones tribute. So sorry Nancy. Sure wanted to be a part of country music history."

Palestinians could take Israel to court
Updated 11:18 pm, Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Jerusalem --
Days after winning upgraded status at the United Nations, the Palestinians are threatening to join the world's first permanent war crimes court and pursue charges against the Israelis.
Although the Palestinians say that any decision is still a long way off, the mere threat has unnerved Israel. But pressing a case may not be so simple and could potentially leave the Palestinians themselves vulnerable to prosecution over their actions as well.
Since winning recognition as a nonmember observer state in the U.N. General Assembly last week, the Palestinians believe they now qualify for membership in the International Criminal Court.
Latest news videos
In opposing the Palestinian bid at the U.N., Israel repeatedly cited Palestinian threats to turn to the ICC to prosecute Israeli officials for a variety of alleged crimes, ranging from actions by the Israeli military to Israel's construction of Jewish settlements on occupied land.
While Israel does not recognize the court's jurisdiction and believes that its own actions do not violate international law, officials are concerned that legal action could embarrass Israel, make it difficult for Israeli officials to travel overseas or portray the country as a pariah state. A war crimes conviction can include fines and maximum penalties of life in prison.
The U.N. resolution last week recognized a Palestinian state in all three territories captured by Israel in the 1967 war. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but continues to control access in and out of the area.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Too often the practice of public relations, particularly in the B2B world, is limited to news releases and trade events aimed at promoting specific products or services. Yet it can also be a powerful tool for achieving larger branding objectives, while affording employees the opportunity to become recognized as experts in their industry.
Most recently, I worked for a company undergoing transformation into a dual bottom line organization that places equal emphasis on financial performance and human development. There I witnessed firsthand the salutary effects on our engineers of becoming published authors and sought-after public speakers, sharing their expertise and developing their communications skills.
One is now a leading authority on sealing technology and pollution prevention. Another was invited to make a presentation in Europe, from which he returned a more confident, self-assured person. With others I saw their exhilaration at seeing their words in print for the first time.
Nurturing and celebrating these kinds of successes present an excellent personal development opportunity, one that is within the grasp of, but unfortunately underutilized by many companies.
However, before embarking on an article writing campaign, you need to examine your USP and the persona you want to project – that of solution provider, technology leader, innovator, superior service provider, whatever your core competency happens to be. Once your company's persona has been established – and it can be aspirational – a coordinated campaign of strategic articles can support it with credibility, clarity and cost-effectiveness.
Well crafted, articulate articles can serve as an invaluable "Voice to the Customer," but they need not be limited to technical treatises by engineers. They can include pieces by human resources on talent development, EHS on employee health and safety, even marketing on best practices.
Short of a publish-or-perish mandate, it's vital to create a sense that this is an important activity. It's equally important that it be encouraged, recognized and rewarded, if only by presenting writers gift cards or framed copies of their articles. The most meaningful rewards, however, will be in terms of reader feedback, invitations to industry forums and qualified sales leads.
Once published, articles can be repurposed and distributed via websites, social media, email blasts to customers and prospects, the possibilities are virtually endless.
In my consulting work, I recently encountered a company that had numerous articles posted on its website, but had never been published. How simple it would be, I thought, to share this extensive archive by offering it for publication in relevant trade journals.
Here are a few practical tips for conducting a successful article campaign to position your company as a leader in its industry and as an authoritative source to the markets it serves.
Respond promptly to editors and don't miss deadlines. Don't commit to an article and fall victim to writer's block. There aren't always hard deadlines, but when there are it's absolutely imperative to meet them. Otherwise you'll leave an editor with a gaping hole that has to be hastily filled, and be blacklisted from ever working with the publication again.
Refer to the publication's guidelines for contributing articles. Don't submit a 5,000-word opus when 1,500 to 2,000 words are called for. Above all, don't write a thinly veiled advertisement. Most publications are looking for tutorial articles that educate their readers, not self-serving promotional pieces. And be sure to accompany your articles with illustrative photos, diagrams, charts and other support visuals.
Track the success of your articles. Feed reader responses into your CRM system for follow-up by sales. After all, it's reasonable to assume that anyone sufficiently interested in reading and commenting on an article represents a viable sales lead.
Many companies handle articles in-house. Even more don't pursue them at all due to the commitment of time and effort required on the part of busy people. I've found that working with a competent external agency can help drive the process and deliver solid results at a fraction of the cost and with considerably more impact than an advertising campaign.
Like the dual bottom line concept I've alluded to, a concerted article campaign can serve both the commercial and human resource agendas of your company. By positioning your people and by extension your company as an authoritative voice in your industry, you gain an important competitive advantage in the marketplace. And by providing the opportunity for your otherwise anonymous in-house experts to gain public acclaim, you are allowing them to develop more fully both professionally and personally.

Can inadequate iron cause anemia (iron deficiency anemia)?
Absolutely! As a matter of fact, iron deficiency is a very common cause of anemia. This is because iron is major component of hemoglobin and essential for its proper function. Chronic blood loss due to any reason is the main cause of low iron level in the body as it depletes the body's iron stores to compensate for the ongoing loss of iron. Anemia that is due to low iron levels is called iron deficiency anemia.
Young women are likely to have low grade iron deficiency anemia because of the loss of blood each month through normal menstruation. This is generally without any major symptoms as the blood loss is relatively small and temporary.
