The long talked about Seth Rogen-starred "cancer comedy", previously called I'm With Cancer, finally has a title and a release date. Summit plans to release 50/50 on September 30th of this year. This is fantastic news (via Variety) given the caliber of talent of the film's cast which includes Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Angelica Huston and Phillip Baker Hall. Based on screenwriter Will Reiser's own experiences getting cancer in his 20's, the film was originally set to star James McAvoy in the lead role until the actor had to bow out for personal reasons. Gordon-Levitt stepped in to take on the lead after McAvoy left. Jonathan Levin (The Wackness) directed the dramedy.
With a September release date, one might expect the film to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival as that usually runs during the second week of September. It would be a great way to get some buzz right before coming out.

text: The Reunion Show was founded in Long Island, NY in early 2000. Brian Diaz, leader of Edna's Goldfish, started writing and rehearsing with old friends Mark Thomas and David "Skully" Sullivan-Kaplan, from Step Lively. Derrick Sherman joined shortly thereafter and the Show began. Their sound developed rapidly as they played underground shows around the country, without label support, in true D.I.Y. fashion. Little did they realize that they were quickly building a passionate national fanbase. In mid-2001 they started selling copies of their 6-song demo at shows while on a relentless tour schedule. This demo became 'The Motion' ep released by the Law Of Inertia label in early 2002. 'The Motion' received rave reviews across the country and between the band and label sold over 5000 copies with only underground distribution and sales at shows. The Reunion Show combine anthem laden rock with a sleek, melodic pop sensibility bringing to mind legendary Artists like The Cars and Elvis Costello to current acts Weezer and The Foo Fighters. Dual vocals and crunching guitars matched against vintage Moog organs create sweet, perfectly crafted and irresistible songs. The formula is infectiously intelligent. The songs are hook-heavy, calls to arms beckoning the 'New Rock Revolution'. "Kill Your Television" is an exciting alternative rock album that is "hip-contemporary" in its fusion of pop, emo, punk and early new wave. Hometown and longtime friends Taking Back Sunday were convinced that The Reunion Show would be the next Long Island success story. They enthusiastically alerted their record label, Victory Records, to sign their friends. Label owner, Tony Brummel, had actually seen The Reunion Show's first gig with Catch 22 and Reel Big Fish on Long Island in early 2001. "I remember them really standing out. Their delivery and presentation of catchy, irresistible pop/rock songs backed by a Moog organ and dual harmonies was so fresh and original- especially at a show with close to 2000 fans wanting to hear horns." When members of the Victory staff watched The Reunion Show convert a local Chicago audience with a mesmerizing set the convincing was complete. In July of 2002 The Reunion Show entered LA's Sonora Studios with accomplished producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Frank Black, Jimmy Eat World). The brilliantly realized album is excitingly hummable, showcasing their pristine melodies and solid harmonies. You get playful love songs like "Stuck On You" and "On a Scale of One to Awesome (You're Pretty Great)" to the tongue-in-cheek "New Rock Revolution" and "Star Training" along with the darker themed songs "Dedication" and "Oh…Is It A Full Moon (Again). Every song on the album is a wonderfully moody creation that was made for you to dance and sing along to. The Reunion Show is a fresh, new force in rock and "Kill Your Television" is thankfully only their first step.

A collection of G.W.Bush/Iraq war related mashups and sound collages first released in 2004 is unexpectedly back on-line, courtesy of it's compiler twinkleboi.
RIAA's contribution is an otherwise uncollected track called "O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation)," which features The Misfits "Die Die My Darling", Jello Biafra "Die For Oil, Suckers," Big Black "Kerosene," Jimi Hendrix "Voodoo Chile," Black Sabbath "War Pigs," and Congressional sound effects. Technically, this antique is a bit crude. (Hey, I meant well, right?)
Fortunately, there's lots of great stuff from talents like Wax Audio, Osymyso, Eve Massacre, Instamatic, Don Amott, Earworm, Gordyboy, and RX, the mad genius who re-edited speeches to make it appear as if Bush is singing/reciting songs like U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday."

Today marks a new venture for me: blogging for my local newspaper. I've blogged for many years for the far reaches on the globe, but never for my beloved Taylor County. I'm excited about this new journey. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Andrea Giordano, and I've been a Campbellsville resident for 13 years now, ever since I first walked on Campbellsville University's campus as a wide-eyed freshman. Throughout my time as an undergraduate student, I discovered a passion for teaching, travel, and ministry. Since graduating from Campbellsville, I earned a Master's of Education with an empasis in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Langauges), and have been teaching international students English for six years. I am now the Assistant Director for ESL Programs at Campbellsville University, where I have the opportunity to impact international students every day. I absolutely love my job. A few years ago, I wanted to expand my sphere of influence in teaching, so I launched ESLbasics.com, a video-centered English language teaching website, where I post short videos, explaining vocabulary to English language learners. My husband Mike and I have an adorable son named North, and we call the Vineyard Campbellsville Church home.
In this blog, I plan on giving you insight on what it's like to teach the world. Every day, new challenges and new opportunities face me as I guide students into learning English. Cultural connections are built and genuine learning takes place. Join me as we teach the world!

Support Groups
The Minnesota Stroke Association can help link those with stroke and their loved ones to self-directed, voluntary support groups. Support groups can provide a number of benefits:
- Emotional healing comes when people interact with other people.
- Sharing of similar experiences helps individuals feel less alone and more ready to deal with day-to-day issues.
- Encouragement comes from learning about how others have conquered situations similar to theirs.
- Contribution helps support group members feel meaningful.
- Education results from the exposure to information and personal experiences in a group.
- Socialization occurs when connections with people are made and confidence in social skills develops when appropriate interaction occurs in support groups.
- Self-expression, as emotions are experienced and released, creates a greater understanding of oneself.
- Confidence building results as members take responsibility for the work of the group, and see progress with the plans they made.
- Safety, in the environment of a confidential, supportive, non-judgmental group, allows for honest disclosure and sharing of common difficulties.
- A sense of growth occurs as long-term members see new participants and reminisce about where they began and how far they have come in their personal journey.
Finding a Support Group:
The Minnesota Stroke Association makes referrals to support groups throughout the state, including groups for persons with stroke, brain injury, their families and friends, and caregivers.
Because support group locations and times change, please call the Minnesota Stroke Association for current information at 763-553-0088. Groups are self-help, self-supporting, and independent from the Minnesota Stroke Association.

One of the cooler things we've seen here at Mobile World congress is this nifty Nokia X Burton snuggly case for your Lumia (truth be told, you can jam any phone in there).
First pillows for your phone and now a sleeping bag, you ask? What's going on here? Well, this isn't a gimmick as evidently putting your phone in the really, really cold (we're talking below 0) is bad for the battery. Using this case when camping, snowboarding or ice fishing will prolong your battery up to 50% longer, which last we checked is a good idea.
Originally announced back in November, the collaboration between Burton and Nokia seems to be a solid one, resulting in one of the cooler accessories (forgive the pun, we're tired):
"The Nokia X Burton Insulator cases feature a cozy soft-fur lining and 3M™Thinsulate™ for maximum cold weather protection. They also have a leash allowing you to attach the case, and your phone, securely to your jacket.
As well as having a serious functionality, the cases look the part too. They have been designed to match and complement Burton's stylish 2012/13 collection."
We're sure that's something that snowboarder Roope Tonteri may be interested in. Stay tuned for our Burton app for Windows Phone...

All I need are opinions :)
Posted 19 June 2013 - 10:49 AM
Everly's really growing on me, I blame Ash But its cute! I think I can imagine a mini version of myself called Everly. And I'd still get my beloved Evie out of it! My worry: does it sound far too close to Beverly? I don't want the two mixed as I just really dislike the name Beverly (no offense!). I worry its a bit long with the surname, but too bad? I bet we could even use middle name Jade after his grandmother too, Everly Jade Wazowski? Not too long? Makes me laugh that a definition I saw was "wild boar in a woodland clearing" LOL!
Eve is short and simple and we both love it. I don't love the biblical reference but oh well. Not a problem, just a mediocre thing with "fall of mankind" thought too it :') Eve is difficult because of finding middle names. Even though Eve Wazowski flows great, middle names? I had Eve Hadley, but Mike last minute changed his mind on it. He's iffy.
Eden is a name he loves from a video game. I'm iffy on it, I love Edie but I'm just unsure. He agreed to Eden Juliet which as a whole I love. Still has the flow issues, Eden Juliet Wazowski? Eh.
I'm still looking for more options. Looking for something that feels fresh and new.. But for now, I'd just love opinions on Everly, Eve, and Eden! Thanks!!

Posted 19 June 2013 - 11:18 AM
I can picture you with an Eve. Does Mike not like Evie as a full name? My step cousin just had a baby girl named Evie, and honestly I like it on it's own just as much as I like Eve.

I'm so in love with Eden
Posted 19 June 2013 - 02:22 PM
Everly is pretty, but it seems too long with Mike's surname. And Eden just isn't my personal favorite, though Edie is cute.
Middle name suggestions for Eve:
Eve Madison
Eve Cadence
Eve Noelle
Eve Charlotte
Eve Madelyn
Eve Katherine
Eve Lillian
Eve Caroline
Eve Celeste
Eve Piper
Eve Scarlett
Eve Meredith
Eve Gabrielle
Eve Lauren
Eve Gwendolyn
Good luck!

I love Everly but Channing Tatum just had a baby and named her Everly so I expect it will become popular fast. I like Eve second best.
I was gonna say the same thing! But, I suppose you really can't use that as a rule because there are so many famous people and the chances of someone choosing a name you love are really high.
I adore Everly, but I do prefer just Ever. Everly Jade is adorable!
Posted 20 June 2013 - 06:32 AM
Hannah, Mike doesn't like Evie on its own <3 I'd probably end up calling her Eve consistently, but I do love Evie so much I couldn't help but use it <3 It is short, simple, and fussless though! <3 I actually kinda prefer Evie on its own, but Mike doesn't, so I'm okay with this compromise
Madi, I agree Everly is questionable with our surname
const3llati0ns, I do like a lot of forms of Eve, though a lot of them just don't go with the surname. Like Evangeline is just too long! And Evelyn reminds me of work too much to use it. I'm not a huge fan of many other forms, but thank you!!
Lauren, thats such a sweet association <3 I think it'd be lovely if you got to use it! If I used Everly, I think I'd go with Everly Jade just because it honors and its nice and short <3 Eden is fairly place namey, and does have biblical associations for the garden and all.
ElizabethRuth, I do imagine Everly to go up in popularity, but I'm hoping there are others who are maybe turned off by how close it sounds to Beverly? But eh. I'll get to it first!! Lol jk. If I were due tomorrow that'd be one thing, but I still have five months haha. Sometimes celebrity names don't spike in popularity though, occasionally. Normally more odd ones though... oh well
Ah I am in love with how classic it is <3 and almost old fashioned yet not. Surprised me that Mike likes it! <3 I guess in this day and age and especially with all the Eva's and Evelyn's currently out there the association slowly fades. Wow thanks for the suggestions! <3 I like Eve Cadence, Eve Charlotte, Eve Madelyn, Eve Caroline, Eve Celeste, Eve Scarlett, and Eve Gwendolyn <3 I just have to see what Mike likes of those now
Alyssa, Ever is pretty as well, though I'm unsure just yet how much I like it <3 Like Everly, it may need time to grow on me Its unfortunately true though, celebs use beautiful names all the name and even though it normally does effect popularity at least to an extent, I don't want to let it rule out the potentially perfect name for my bubba
Thank everyone and their opinions so much!! They really helped!

Gillaspie leads White Sox past Indians 9-6
CHICAGO (AP) — Conor Gillaspie had a career-high four RBIs, leading Chris Sale and the Chicago White Sox to a 9-6 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night.
Sale (3-0) pitched five innings in his first win against Cleveland since May 1, 2012. The left-hander allowed three runs and six hits while throwing 105 pitches.
The White Sox have captured the first two games of their first series of the year against the Indians, who had a 17-2 record against Chicago last season. They play again on Saturday and Sunday.
Indians starter Carlos Carrasco (0-2) was tagged for five runs and six hits in 4 2-3 innings. It was another shaky start for the right-hander, who allowed five runs in 5 2-3 innings of a 7-3 loss to Minnesota in his season debut. Cleveland pitching issued nine walks, including walking in two runs.
Gillaspie hit a sacrifice fly in Chicago's two-run third inning, helping the White Sox build a 3-0 lead. Adam Dunn, who had two hits and walked twice, singled and scored on Alejandro De Aza's base hit in the fourth.
Sale, who went 0-4 with an 8.61 ERA in four starts against Cleveland in 2013, was unable to protect the lead. Asdrubal Cabrera had a two-run double in the fifth, and then scored the tying run on Nick Swisher's single.
The White Sox grabbed the lead for good in the bottom half.
Gillaspie singled in Adam Eaton, and Carrasco was lifted for Marc Rzepczynski after striking out Jose Abreu for the second out of the inning. Rzepczynski walked Dunn to load the bases and then walked in a run as Dayan Viciedo came back from an 0-2 count to give the White Sox a 5-3 lead.
2014 Schedule | Team Page | Standings Stats | Roster | Injuries | Latest MLB news on FOXSports.com
Gillaspie committed an error in the sixth, allowing Michael Brantley to score, but responded with a two-out, two-run double in the bottom half, making it 7-4. Alexei Ramirez added an RBI single for Chicago in the seventh.
Eaton had two hits and scored three times for the White Sox, who finished with 11 hits. Ramirez went 2 for 4.
Yan Gomes and Mike Aviles had two hits apiece for the Indians.
NOTES: OF Michael Bourn made his second rehab start for Double-A Akron on Friday night. Indians manager Terry Francona said Bourn, who has yet to play this season with a left hamstring strain, would be examined after the game and though Bourn would prefer to return to the big leagues Sunday, Francona said the team may hold off due to the wet conditions expected that day. Bourn was 1 for 5 with a stolen base. … Indians DH Jason Giambi (broken rib) made his first rehab start on Friday night for Akron. He was 0 for 2 with two strikeouts. … The White Sox acquired OF Gorkys Hernandez from Kansas City for cash considerations and assigned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Student Opportunities
"I think what has made working for the Center for Criminal Defense so rewarding is the clients. The opportunity to develop relationships with them and advocate on their behalf makes criminal defense work so enjoyable and appealing to me on a daily basis. Nothing is more rewarding than fighting to protect the rights and liberty of individuals caught up in the criminal justice system."
-- Rachel Good
Students with varied interests are drawn to the Center for Criminal Defense. For example, many have a strong desire to protect the rights of the accused, and some students wish to become prosecutors and see this Center as an opportunity to learn from the defense perspective. At the same time, it is common for students to enroll who envision a corporate career, yet are nonetheless intrigued by criminal practice.
In this Center, students are provided with opportunities for in-court work. They also may represent client interests which often involve issues such as double jeopardy, search and seizure, and self-incrimination. And, because the Center for Criminal Defense frequently collaborates with other Bluhm Clinic Centers, students also are exposed to matters related to civil practice, wrongful convictions, civil rights, and appellate advocacy. For example, in partnership with the Center on Wrongful Convictions, students may work on behalf of a client whose conviction has been reversed. Efforts then turn to preparation for the new trial that had been ordered. The same scenario would apply when the Appellate Advocacy Center has succeeded in obtaining relief on appeal for one of its clients, usually in the Federal courts.
By the time they have completed clinical work, students often have participated in evidentiary hearings or jury trials. Additionally, they may have had the chance to cross-examine witnesses, participate in jury selection, or to argue contested motions – priceless experiences that position students favorably as they begin their legal careers.
Courses in evidence, criminal procedure, and legal ethics, while not prerequisites, are often of value to students who enroll in this Center.

Those create synergies, attract investments and stimulate economic growth.
For several decades Ghent has been an important industrial centre as well. This has been enhanced by a good infrastructure and accessibility via the inland port. The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal links our city to the North Sea.

Steve Jobs's Flamewar With A College Student
Usually we praise a CEO for responding directly to customers but Apple's Steve Jobs has made a hobby of talking tough to those who email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. In the latest case, because she couldn't get a quote out of the PR department, a college journalism student took him to task. So he took her to hers, saying "Our goals do not include helping you get a good grade" and "Please leave us alone."
You can read the transcript of two turds throwing themselves at each other over at Valleywag.
Every interaction you have with your customers is a chance to redefine and/or burnish your brand and reputation. Apparently Jobs is concerned that not enough people know that he's ruthless.

Tim Robertson
Photo courtesy of: Robertson family
Feb 4, 2014
By George Mauzy
Ohio University mourns the loss of Timothy Charles Robertson, a second-year doctoral student in the Patton College of Education's Counselor Education program.
Robertson, 60, of Webbville, Ky., died Jan. 26 in Kings Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, Ky., after a sudden illness. According to his obituary, he was born Oct. 27, 1953, in Indianapolis to Margie McQuillen Robertson and the late Harold Robertson.
While pursuing his doctoral degree, Robertson worked as a mental health counselor and as a counselor educator at Lindsey Wilson College and Eastern Kentucky University. He earned his master's degree in counseling from Marshall University in 1989.
During his illustrious career, Robertson was the first mental health counselor licensed in Kentucky and served on the Kentucky Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. He also was active in leadership in the Kentucky Counseling Association. He was a Kentucky Colonel and an elder at the Willard Church of Christ, where he taught adult Sunday school.
Robertson is survived by his wife of 40 years, Cindy Grand Robertson; son, Joshua (Elizabeth) Robertson; and three daughters, Tiersa Davis and Jessica and Ashley Robertson. He is also survived by three brothers, Mark, Phillip and David Robertson. A memorial service was held Feb. 1 in Grayson, Ky.
Due to Robertson's unexpected death and the special impact he had in the Patton College, he was memorialized in a two-hour informal gathering of his fellow graduate students and faculty and staff members in McCracken Hall on Jan. 30. Here are a few of the thoughts shared about Robertson during the gathering:
"Tim had an academic excellence with a ton of counseling experience and was only pursuing his doctorate so that he could teach as a full-time professor at the college level. He spoke into my life as a friend, counselor, educator and colleague. He was always smiling and would make small jokes to lighten the mood. He was so knowledgeable and had a brilliant mind," said Sean Gorby, a second-year master's student in counselor education.
"Tim enlightened the concept of leadership for me. He gave me inspiration and encouragement to take back to Turkey with me. He was like a father to me in many ways because he had three daughters. He was just a caring person who I'll never forget. He gave us all a sense of relief," said Bilge Sulak, a third-year doctoral student in counselor education.
"What I loved about Tim was that he valued everyone's opinion, even if it was opposite his. He told me to do what makes me happy and he truly supported my differentness. I'll miss our talks and his encouragement and his passion for education – it was unreal. I wish you could have met him," said Danielle Knowles, a second-year doctoral student in counselor education.
"Tim was an amazingly humble human being. He came to the program at a very advanced stage of his career as a counselor, but he was very knowledgeable and skilled. He had a great thirst for knowledge and was enthusiastic and wanted to learn more. He recently talked about wanting to write academic articles so that he could leave his legacy in the counseling profession. We all admired his dedication to his family and the program. Tim had wide interests and we wondered if he ever slept. He drove two hours a day to get here, submitted his assignments on time, was active in his church and also taught at two different universities. He was a pretty special human being and the program is grieving his loss," said Christine Bhat, associate professor of counselor education.
"He was a remarkable person who made everyone around him comfortable. Tim was an expert in the counseling field, but never made anyone feel as though he knew more than them or that he was more advanced. He made everyone feel special and I loved that about him," said Beth Schilling-Furbee, a second-year doctoral student in counselor education.
"I saw Tim as more than a friend. He was more like a father figure because he was the oldest student and I was the youngest student in our cohort. I learned a lot from him personally and professionally. He took an interest in me as a person and connected me with many Indian counselors working in the U.S. so that when I return home to India I'll have contacts here. We would have had our comps exams on Monday and I was thinking about him the whole time. We were planning to publish a paper together if he hadn't become sick. I already miss him dearly," said Priscilla Selvaraj, a second-year doctoral student in counselor education.
Students in need of professional support can call Ohio University Counseling and Psychological Services 24 hours a day at 740-593-1616.

Tobias Harris, Nikola Vucevic lead Magic past 76ers
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A miserable season just keeps getting worse for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Tobias Harris scored a career-high 31 points and the Orlando Magic beat the 76ers for the second time in less than a week, winning 92-81 Sunday night to extend Philadelphia's losing streak to 14 games.
The 76ers' skid is their longest since 1994, when they lost 15 straight, and includes a defeat last Monday to the Milwaukee Bucks, the NBA's worst team. The 76ers have the NBA's second-worst record, while the Magic have the third-worst.
Nikola Vucevic had 18 points and 17 rebounds for Orlando, which outscored Philadelphia 26-12 in the fourth quarter to earn the win.
"It was definitely my mindset to attack them, put pressure on their defense," Harris said. "When I saw gaps in their defense, I wanted to attack them. They were focusing a lot on Nik tonight, so I saw a lot of openings spacing-wise that I used to my advantage."
Both Orlando and Philadelphia have been clear that they are in rebuilding phases, and the 76ers traded two of their best players — center Spencer Hawes and guard-forward Evan Turner — on Feb. 20.
Philadelphia coach Brett Brown attributed the 76ers' new-look lineup to their recent woes, pointing to it as a reason behind his squad's spate of turnovers against Orlando.
"We had 19 turnovers and six came from our point guards," Brown said. "A lot of that happened when we had three of five guys on the court who have only been with each other four days. Our offense hurt us more than our defense.
"We were throwing the ball away or not knowing who to turn to. We poked ourselves in the eye with our turnovers. But give Orlando credit for raising the intensity in the fourth quarter and bothering us."
Thaddeus Young had 29 points for Philadelphia and Michael Carter-Williams added 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Both teams played road games the night before, which might have contributed to sloppy in a game that featured two of the league's top rookies: Carter-Williams and Orlando's Victor Oladipo.
Carter-Williams leads all NBA rookies in points, rebounds, assists, steals and minutes played, is a front-runner to win the Rookie of the Year award, with Oladipo closely following him.
Oladipo finished with nine points and Magic coach Jacque Vaughn admitted he's monitoring Oladipo's minutes out of concern for fatigue.
"I'll gauge his minutes to see how he feels," Vaughn said. "But he's been taking care of his body."
NOTES: Magic guards Jameer Nelson (sore calf) and Arron Afflalo (illness) were out with injuries. It was the fifth game in a row Afflalo has missed, three with a sprained ankle and two with illness. . The Magic have a 15-15 record at home, thanks to winning seven of their last eight. . In their 14-game losing streak, Philadelphia has lost by an average of 16.8 points, with 11 of 14 of those losses coming by double digits. … Even though the team that finishes with the league's worst record increases its draft lottery chances, it's no guarantee. The last team to finish with the worst record and secure the No. 1 pick was the Magic 10 years ago. They used that pick to select Dwight Howard.

To the Editor:
Thank you to all who attended the Respite Angels benefit at the Duhigg Center. Thanks to all the people that donated food or time to help with this event. Respite Angels is a 501c3 dedicated to providing caregiver relief to family member who are caring for their loved ones, who are suffering from an illness or injury. To stay focused and rested, the caregiver needs to revitalize him or herself with personal time.
So what is respite care? Respite care provides temporary relief to those who are caring for a loved one. Even though many families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overpowering without some support such as respite.
Without respite care, families can suffer economically and emotionally, caregivers themselves may face serious health and social issues as a result of the stress associated with continuous care.
By age 50, 28 percent of individuals are caregivers, and over two-third of caregivers in the United States have jobs in addition to caring for another person. By having to focus on jobs and loved ones, caregivers often undergo enormous amounts of stress, which can lead to serious health conditions including heart disease and diabetes. This is where Respite Angels, Inc. looks to help improve our local communities while maintaining a focused, loving care for individuals in need of caregiver assistance.
By offering caregiver assistance, Respite Angels is helping to reduce caregiver stress, which leads to better care for individuals in need. Studies continue to show that respite care helps families keep loved ones home for longer periods of time, which helps elongate the life expectancy of both the patient and the caregiver.
Thank you for your support as we build a program that will help people in our own community. Special thanks to the sponsors of our Angel Day event : Farmers Trust and Savings Bank, Holiday Express, Pepsi Employees, Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative, Investment Centers of America, Blum and Leonard Agency, Henry-Olson Funeral Home, Wayne Woolridge, Virginia Whittenburg, Tom and Molly Bedell, Dorothy Mergen, Carol Johnson-Miller , Rhonda Titterington, and Rosewood Manor. Thank you to Fareway and Hy-Vee for donating items for Angel Day and thank you to the Estherville Daily News.
We are thankful to live in a community that is so giving and caring. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to Respite Angels or are interested in helping us by volunteering or hosting an event please contact us at POB 318 Estherville, Iowa 51334 or by e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com
As the holiday season approaches maybe you know someone that is caring for their loved one perhaps you could stop by and visit, make a casserole or send a card to let them know that you care and are thinking of them and the journey they are on.

Career Advice
Your résumé is an extremely important document. There are entire books written about how to craft them. I have written at least one myself. There are scores of résumé consultants, companies, and others that will work on your résumé for a fee. Hiring one of these services can be useful and can improve your résumé. Nevertheless, most résumés can improve dramatically by following the below advice.
Too many people approach their job searches from the perspective of their own needs. They need a job, they need to make more money, they need flexible working hours and benefits. This is not the way to get a job. In fact, this "me-too" method of job seeking is unlikely to get you anywhere.
In this article Harrison discusses the importance of using association websites in your job search. One of the best places to track down jobs which (1) few people know about and (2) you stand good odds of getting an interview if you apply, is association websites. Associations are not experts in advertising themselves, and so the jobs on their websites are far less likely to be found by people looking for jobs online. The people you are competing with in the job market generally are not researching association websites for job opportunities and leads. Employers typically like posting jobs on association sites because applicants from association sites tend to be serious about their profession. If you are in the job market, using association sites for research is highly recommended.

How we feel about ourselves is all due to what we tell ourselves certain things will mean. The meaning you give things is crucial for your career success. You need to choose meanings that make you stronger. You need to ensure you interpret things in a way that serves you and does not hurt you. You need to reach your full potential. Don't classify yourself as someone who is not fit to succeed at the level at which you're capable. You need to take charge of your mind to have the career and the life that you deserve.
You can make the most out of any situation by using your mind creatively. Your imagination is your most important tool, and your strongest skill is your ability to imagine what you want. Imagine the person you wish to become and the career you wish to have, and stay focused on this vision. Use your imagination, and never stop dreaming about what you want to accomplish.
Avoiding problems, not challenging yourself, and giving up in the face of challenges are all forms of being a loser. Your reaction to any given situation is far more important than the situation itself. Whether you are the type of person who moves towards or away things will ultimately determine your career success; those who move toward things make consistent progress, confronting their fears by facing and dealing with them.
Understanding the environment in which you thrive, be it structured or free-spirited, can greatly influence your success or failure in work and life. Determine whether you are a structured or free-spirited person, and seek out similar people and situations. Like people, companies and organizations are also either structured or free-spirited; success comes from understanding which type of environment suits you.
Your success in both career and life depends on the strength of your desires. Peoples' respective levels of desire differ greatly, and those with the greatest desire tend to achieve the most in life. If you do not desire something strongly enough, you probably will not get it. Putting the greatest possible desire behind your dreams is the best thing that you can do to ensure your success.
A recommendation from a powerful person can make a huge difference in your job search; a reference from an influential person makes a tremendous difference to a prospective employer, and thus can be a major advantage for you. When an important person whom the company trusts recommends you, you instantly qualify for positions that may previously have been unattainable. Make the absolute most of your connections with the powerful people in your life, because doing so can instantaneously change your career and life.
There are two types of people in the world; helpers and non helpers. The more of a helper you are, the more you will succeed and find happiness in life. When you find yourself jealous, angry, and judging others, redirect your focus and concentrate on thinking positive, compassionate thoughts about those around you. See and regard others in the same positive light in which you yourself would like to be regarded. Caring about others offers the hidden reward of making you care more about yourself.
Everyone experiences ups and downs in their lives. Every problem and struggle you go through in your life is an opportunity to improve, to become stronger and to help others (and yourself). Use the problems you experience as a vehicle to grow and become a better person.
Do not be a dabbler, or someone who turns away in the face of stress; the secret to long-term happiness is to instead confront and push through these stress factors. Do not be discouraged by difficulties, but find ways to persist and deal with the stress. Confronting problems head-on is the key to improvement, and will take you much further than the dabblers who fail to approach their careers with commitment.
While everyone's respective wishes motivate them, their fulfillment seldom brings anyone happiness. Don't perpetually chase after the next goal, but instead learn to love what you do; when you reach this state you will have chosen to be happy, you will improve yourself, and you will eventually become a happier and more accomplished person.
Punishment and how you react to it are important determinants of your success. Never put yourself in a position where you cannot be forgiven and move on. Guilt leads to self-punishment, which is insidious and damaging; determine whether you are punishing yourself for something in the past, or if you are allowing others to unjustly punish you for long-ago transgressions. Such punishment can undermine your life and success.
In your job search you must question assumptions, find new ways of doing things, and consistently find new ways to search. You will be better off the more you seek out and adopt new job search techniques; your career is too important for you to be stuck in traditional ways of thinking. You must open your mind, and ensure that you are doing everything within your power to view your job search in a way that grants you more opportunities, not fewer.
In the job market or any other venue, getting others to sing your praises will make a huge difference to you as far as getting ahead. The best way to brag about your work is to get someone else to do it for you. When applying for a job, getting someone inside the company to speak well of you will vastly increase your odds of success, making your application much more effective than it would otherwise have been.
In this article Harrison explains the importance of being seen as the cure for all the problems. Becoming a cure for all the problems is very important for getting and keeping a job. Employers are constantly facing a barrage of new challenges and problems. Being at the right place at the right time, to which we often attribute success, really means offering the right cure for the right situation. Become the cure–not the cause of your employer's struggles. If you are the best candidate for the job, you are the cure for the situation. Let this be known through your words, and let it be seen in your actions. This will be very good for your career.
The number one thing that makes people fail and not reach their potential is competition. If get into an area where there is not much competition and you genuinely have something to offer, you will succeed. Everyone is successful to the extent they are doing something others around them are not that provides value.
In this article Harrison discusses how it is important not to get influenced by negative behavior of people around you. One thing you often find is that there seem to be a great number of people out in the world whose chosen business is to make your life and circumstances, whatever they may be, seem much worse than they are. Your success and ability to get on will in large part be determined by your ability to sift through all of this negative information coming at you. It is important to understand that all around you there are people and forces that want you to feel weak, vulnerable and inadequate. The best thing you can do to control and fight back against these forces is to sniff out and identify these people for what they are–and then avoid them. Do not allow others to control or influence you.
You will greatly benefit your career by helping and promoting your company's expansion. A common belief is that expansion is fundamentally positive, and a lack of expansion is fundamentally negative. You must be on the side of expansion rather than contraction in every area of your life. All employers seek people who will help them expand, and the more your ability to contribute to this expansion will provide you increased job security and a greater likelihood of being hired.
Your must always strive to create value for your organization, and your organization must in turn strive to add value to the world. Since value comes from teams of individuals rather than any single person, the best companies strive to maximize their staffs' efficiency. You must also ensure that your company weeds out the employees who do not create value in favor of those who do, and that you belong to the latter group.
Resourcefulness can make you better at everything you do, and separates the truly extraordinary people from the general herd. Do everything within your power to be resourceful in your job search, life, and career to give yourself the best possible chance of achieving your goals, and learn how to employ the resources currently at your disposal for maximum impact.
In this article Harrison discusses how it is possible to find success, love and happiness in any situation. Different opportunities and resources are available to different people. You need to use your skills and resources in an incredibly effective and efficient manner. There is an amazing number of opportunities out there, and we need to make the most of our resources. Take the job market in a major city, for example. There are so many potential jobs and things you can do, it is really overwhelming. No matter how bad things get, there are always opportunities. Strive to make the most of every opportunity that exists out there for you. There are plenty of opportunities everywhere. Be grateful for this. Be grateful for where you live. Be grateful for the people who care about you. Be grateful for your life.
People naturally want others to be interested in them, and offering this interest is one of the most beneficial things you can do. The more that you display interest in others, the more that they will in turn display interest in you and want to help you. When in interviews, build rapport with your potential employer by demonstrating a genuine interest in the person and his or her organization; everyone loves to have other people interested in them, and like to hire such people.
In order to make substantive changes in your life, you must start with dissatisfaction in your current position, and leverage that tension to your advantage. Tension and dissatisfaction will push you forward, as they are the drivers of most of our everyday actions. By constantly creating pressure in your life, you motivate yourself to make necessary changes and bring yourself closer to your goals. Implement dissatisfaction in a way that empowers you to go in the direction you want.
In this article Harrison discusses the role of self-motivation and self management. Self-motivated and self managed people always perform well. In contrast people who are forced to follow massive amounts of procedures and rules can never perform. It is important that our rituals and sense of responsibility is internal, and something we learn to do naturally–not something we only do when it is imposed on us by people on the outside. The best people in every job are self- managed and responsible individuals. Also, the more self-managed people there are working for an organization, the stronger the organization generally is. Instead of creating problems in the workplace, you should seek out responsibilities, and ritualize your work routine. These responsibilities will drive you forward in your daily work, in your career, and in your life.
In this article, Harrison discusses the power of commitment. Your commitment and love for what you do need to defy explanation if you are going to reach your full potential, and obtain lasting success. We remember the people who put in incredible efforts, and these are the people who make an impact on the world. People like to be surrounded by other people who like and respect them. Those who generally do the best in life are the people who genuinely like and support others. Everyone likes to be around those who they believe will stand behind them and support them. Those who show commitment that defies explanation are liked, promoted, remembered and admired by everyone. The people who do the worst are those who are most interested in themselves. The people who do the best are those who are most interested in others.
The most successful people in the world share the common characteristic of sharing, or concentrating on the value that they give back to others rather than on their own growth and profit. Focusing on yourself never leads to long-term success, but leads instead to unhappiness as well as emotional and financial challenges. Your greatest consideration, therefore, should be how you can contribute to others, and how your actions can impact their lives.
One Saturday night when I was around 14, one of my neighbors, a 16-year-old boy who was a well-liked athlete at the local high school, went out with friends to a local party, got very drunk, and had someone give him a ride home. How drunk was he? He was so drunk he somehow walked into his neighbor's house through the front door, instead of his own. The owner of the house awoke, and, greatly alarmed, pulled a pistol out of his nightstand, went downstairs, and shot the boy in the head, killing him instantly.
Make sure that your life, dreams, and goals are your own rather than somebody else's. Most people grow and expand in the direction that they receive encouragement. Such encouragement, however, might often be in someone else's interest rather than your own. Question why you have received praise and approval for some things and not others, and you will ensure that your dreams and aspirations are truly yours.
There is probably someone in your life and career who exerts a degree of control over you, and you may act against your own self-interest for fear of that person. While there is nothing wrong with being controlled by others – it is usually inevitable – you must at all costs avoid acting against your own best interests because of external control. Examine your position in life, and determine how much of it is based on your fears and submission to authority.

On The Level
This story appears in the July 1998 issue of . Subscribe »
A friend, representing a network marketing company, approaches you about "the business opportunity of a lifetime!" You've heard stories of network marketing (also called multilevel marketing or MLM) taking people from the brink of bankruptcy to six-figure incomes within months. You've dreamed of being your own boss, earning unlimited income and working from your home. Can an MLM opportunity really offer all that?
Before making any commitments, there are several things to consider: Will you enjoy working in network marketing? Is the company you're considering legitimate? Is it the best choice for you among the many MLM opportunities available? The following steps will help you decide.
Sean M. Lyden is a writer in Marietta, Georgia.
How Networks Work
Only by understanding what network marketing is and how it works can you decide if it's for you. How do MLM companies differ from traditional direct-selling ventures? The distinction lies in the number of "levels" you can build to earn income.
Suppose you sell cookware door-to-door via traditional direct selling. In this instance, you're limited to one income level. You present the product; the customer buys (or not). Your income directly correlates to your activity. If you stop selling, you stop earning.
In contrast, as its name suggests, multilevel marketing creates multiple income levels. While selling their products, successful network marketers also prospect for new recruits--people who are sold on the products, believe in the company and have the vision to market the product line and business opportunity themselves.
Here's how it works. You recruit a handful of people--say, five--who are interested in the business opportunity. Those five distributors comprise your first "level." Their customers make up your second level. If anyone on the second level buys into the opportunity and begins selling, then those sales constitute your third level, and so on down the line (hence the term "downline").
As the number of levels in your downline increases, your income grows exponentially. Ultimately, it's possible to build such a large downline that you keep earning even when you're no longer selling.
Play It Safe
Building a large downline, however, should not be your sole goal. This important distinction will clue you in as to whether an MLM company is offering a legitimate opportunity--or an illegal pyramid scheme.
Pyramid schemes mimic multilevel marketing in that they compensate distributors on a multilevel structure, providing incentive to sell the business opportunity to prospects. The difference, however, is that pyramids focus primarily on recruiting new salespeople for your downline, not on selling products or services. In fact, in many cases there is no real product or service. Be wary of any ad, flier or e-mail message that says you don't have to do anything but recruit--recruit people like you to recruit people like them to recruit people like them, and so on.
"A scam almost always emphasizes just getting bodies into the system, instead of emphasizing the building of a large network of users of the product or service," says Marcia Smith, a Fairfax, California, entrepreneur who has 16 years of experience in MLM and is a leading distributor for Mannatech Inc., a company based in Coppell, Texas, that manufactures a line of nutritional supplements.
Do a background check on the company you're considering. Contact your local Better Business Bureau (or log onto its Web site at http://www.bbb.org) for a reliability report on the company. Consult the Multi-Level Marketing International Association by phone at (714) 622-0300 or by visiting http://www.mlmia.com to see if the company is a member in good standing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in Washington, DC, has information on any complaints that may have been lodged about the company; contact the FTC at (202) 326-2222 or http://www.ftc.gov
Perfect Match?
Even if the network marketing company you're considering proves to be legitimate, your work isn't done. You still need to do some research to make sure you're choosing the best company for you. Here's what you need to know about a company to make an informed decision:
1. Will it last? Many network marketing companies go out of business soon after start-up. Look for a company that has been around for at least two years and is debt-free. To verify the company's financial status, ask to see a financial statement.
"Be sure the company has sufficient capital to adequately cover expenses," says Doris Wood, an executive consultant with The Wood International Group, a management consulting firm in Irvine, California, specializing in network marketing. "Can [the company] meet its obligations for rent, products, phone and data processing to ensure distributors are paid when promised? Can it cover the cost of possible legal fees and day-to-day business operations?"
2. Are you sold on the product? "You must believe in the product or it's doubtful you'll ever be able to sell it," Wood says, "let alone recruit others to do so."
3. Is the venture committed to training its distributors for success? Many network marketers quit because no one has trained them to run an MLM business. Because they don't know how to sell, they don't get paychecks, quickly become frustrated and close up shop or look for another opportunity.
Ask what kind of training programs or tools are offered. "Look for evidence that the company pays existing distributors to conduct workshops for its newly acquired affiliates," says Bonnie Ross-Parker, a senior executive with The Peoples Network, an Atlanta-based MLM company that markets a TV network, available via satellite dish, showing motivational programming 24 hours a day. "A solid network marketing company places a high premium on training and support."
4. How and when will you get paid? "Beware of companies whose compensation package requires a Ph.D. in economics to unravel," Ross-Parker warns. "Representatives may say, `You'll figure it out when you get paid.' That's a risk not worth taking."
5. Does management have the necessary leadership to take the company into the 21st century? "When researching an opportunity, make sure the company is planning ahead to deal with exponential growth," Smith says. Ask for background information on the company's executives. What experience do they have in business as it pertains to MLM? What's their track record? Also find out what their vision is for the company. Do they have what it takes to reach these goals?
When you're choosing a network marketing company, ignorance is not bliss. Evaluate whether or not MLM is for you, make sure the opportunity is legitimate, and determine whether this company will best help you achieve your financial goals. If the opportunity passes these three tests and sounds exciting and challenging, then go for it!
About Face
Back in 1988, Janice Aruta of Orlando, Florida, then 26, was living the proverbial country song. Her husband had left her, her income left her faster than it came in, and it seemed her dream "to do something special with my life" had left her, too.
Then Aruta read an ad that marked a turning point in her life. "Current distributors netting six figures monthly!" it promised. Despite her skepticism, Aruta called the number. A distributor with NuSkin International (NSI), a network marketing company that manufactures a line of personal-care products, answered the phone.
"My choice was either to go back to school and learn how to work for someone else for 30 or 40 years, or pursue my own business with NSI and determine my own income and hours," Aruta recalls. "To me, the choice was clear." She charged the $80 initial fee on her credit card, beginning her entrepreneurial career with Provo, Utah-based NSI.
Since that day, Aruta, now 36, has been singing a different tune. Her income has risen to more than half a million dollars per year; she is happily remarried . . . and she is living her dream of doing something special with her life.
The key to her success? Enthusiasm. "Network marketing is about people and relationships," Aruta explains. "People want to be around positive, caring and enthusiastic people. By this I don't mean you have to act like a frenzied cheerleader or a slick sales type. Genuine people are the ones who succeed in the long run."
Aruta's advice to new network marketers: "Choose one company, choose wisely and commit. Do whatever it takes to develop a massive belief in the company, its management, its products or services, its support [for distributors] and its growth potential. My belief in NSI gave me confidence, and my commitment gave me credibility with others. People follow committed people."
Good Calls
Husband-and-wife teams form a strong one-two combination in the quest for success in network marketing. Twins Nick and Todd Matthews, 32, of Irvine, California, have taken this concept to another level. Nick and his wife, Tracy, 23, and Todd and his wife, Jewel, 29, make a powerful (and profitable) foursome as distributors for World Tech Marketing, a network marketing company also based in Irvine, California, that sells long-distance and other telecommunications services.
Before joining World Tech in 1996, the twins worked together for 12 years at a local grocery store, barely making ends meet. "The long hours we spent working left little time for family," Todd recalls. "It just wasn't healthy."
Then a friend came along who told them about World Tech. "We were ready for anything that looked promising," says Todd. With no hesitation, the brothers and their wives decided to team up, and the two couples invested the $295 necessary to get started.
Two years later, the four-person team is ranked among the highest-earning distributors in the World Tech system. "Some months, our income is more than we made in a whole year at the grocery store," says Todd.
What's their advice to would-be network marketers? "Don't let negativity get to you," says Jewel. "You'll run into those few negative people. Just keep your chin up, stay positive and keep telling yourself daily, `This is going to work.' Anything can work if you put your mind to it."
Have You Got It?
What do successful network marketers have that others lack? Here are nine essential qualities you need to succeed in MLM:
1. Vision. What do you want to accomplish in your MLM business? Be specific. Instead of saying, "I want to surpass my previous salary sometime this year," say, "I want to earn $4,000 per month by December of this year."
2. A burning desire to succeed. Desire is the internal engine that propels you toward your goals. Fuel your desire by reviewing your goals every morning and just before you go to sleep at night. Using all your senses, visualize yourself achieving your goals. If your goal is to earn enough money to buy a sailboat by June, picture the boat; feel the railing; smell and taste the salty air; and hear the sound of the wind whipping against the sail.
3. A businesslike attitude. MLM opportunities typically have low start-up costs. Unfortunately, this often translates into a weak commitment on the start-up marketer's part. Commit to pursuing your MLM business as intensely as if you had invested $100,000 to get started. Prepare a written business plan--and follow it. Review your plan at least once a quarter. When you treat your network marketing venture as a genuine business--as opposed to a hobby you pursue "when you feel like it"--you'll succeed.
4. Self-discipline. Do what you plan to do. If you have 15 sales calls scheduled, make those calls--no matter what. Each action you plan and accomplish takes you closer to your goals.
5. Willingness to learn. Just because you were successful in previous jobs doesn't mean you'll automatically earn top dollar in network marketing. This is a new game with a different set of rules. Take every opportunity to learn those rules. Study books on MLM, attend seminars offered by your parent company and spend time with your sponsors.
6. Belief in your product or service. Are you proud to represent your MLM company? Do you get excited telling others about the products or services you sell? When you believe in what you do and the company you represent, you increase the likelihood that prospects will, too.
7. A long-term focus. Beware of get-rich-quick claims. Success in MLM, as in any type of business, takes time. Define the necessary steps and commit to doing them--even when you don't see tangible results right away.
8. A positive attitude. Surround yourself with positive, enthusiastic people. Listen to cassette tapes and read books that spur you on to maximum achievement. When you fill your mind with positive thoughts, you generate the energy you need to make your business flourish.
9. Persistence. As in any new business, you'll face many obstacles on your way to achieving your goals. Resolvek to go the distance. When times get tough, call your sponsors for encouragement.
Bonnie Ross-Parker is a senior executive with The Peoples Network, an Atlanta-based MLM company.
