I also said "Long term uptrend line is in play this week and will act as support, if the last price is near there it will become pivotal, and if the price gets below it will become resistance going forward in time".
July Soybeans for 7/2/10:
In my daily numbers on Thursday; my pivot acted as resistance and was .06 1/4 from the actual high; my pivot also acted as support and was .04 3/4 from the actual low.
Grains: I will be switching to new crop this weekend. Exact high and spot on support in corn, and accurate soybean numbers. I am not surprised to see corn follow through on Thursday; I am still shocked at the 300 million shortfall in stocks. USDA numbers from March to June and all of a sudden they cannot find the corn. What part of their previous reports was wrong does not matter to me, what matters is that I do not fight the charts, and try and look for trade opportunities no matter long or short, and have the risk reward in my favor before I take a trade idea.
Looking at the action I would not be surprised if we can fill the gap at $3.73 1/4, and if we can get above there we should see the $3.85 level near the bracket line resistance get tested. If corn can close higher today, those resistance levels will be in the bull's eye when we open on Monday night. Profit taking could be seen today, but even with the extremely overbought condition we have a 50/50 chance to see those resistances tested by next week. Lastly, if corn can get to $3.85 that would be a gain of $.60 from the June low, and that would equal last year's summer rally ($.60 is a normal summer rally).
Soybeans closed on the long term uptrend line that is now pivotal. Downtrend line is clearly seen as well as the report day high that will be resistances. Corn's weak sister needs all the help it can get with the added acreage and adequate supplies going forward if normal trend yields occur. I would sell this market for a day trade at resistance levels and risk $.05.
I do not want to take home a position into the 4th of July weekend; it's too risky especially now that we have some room to the downside again. Day trading the numbers works for me and allows me to not have an opinion (when I do not have a bias) and not have the risk exposure overnight. My approach also allows me to be flexible and take overnight trades when at chart bracket lines, and longer term trades when the chart allows.
July Soybeans for 7/1/10:
Grains: Spot on grain numbers except corn resistance was breached on the open and acted as support.
The report was a game changer for corn. Today's 1.4 mil acre lower than expected corn area forecast vs. trade expectations is the 2nd largest downside surprise in 20 years exceeded only by the 1.6 mil lower than expected corn area reported in 1997. Corn acreage has only gained 4 times in the last 20 years from this June report until the Final report; on the other hand it rarely declines in acreage by more than .5 million acres as was seen last year. One of 1/3 of the last 17 years soybeans advanced as it did so in 2008 when it advanced 1.2 million acres. Last year it was unchanged. We will not get another clue as to what acreage was really planted until the next estimate in October.
Trade estimates for corn stocks was off 303 million bushels which was the biggest overestimation since 1996 when they overestimated by 270 million bushels, when December corn rallied for a day, corrected lower, then surged to $3.90 before the July crop report. NASS stock updates are more reliable later in the marketing year than production forecasts at the end of harvest.
Corn stocks are adequate but there is really not much room for a shortfall in production this year from the USDA 163.5 bushels per acre (BPA). If we got a 4.2 BPA decline, that would cause corn stocks to be below 1 billion bushels, instead of the 2+ we were looking at before the report. If US corn stocks would fall to 1.345 billion bushels, which would be the lowest since 06/07 when corn rallied to over $5.50 in the summer of '06.
The way I look at this is the same way as always, no matter what the report said, it is being digested over the next 2 days, and by then it has already been fully priced into the market, and then we turn to the important July 4th weekend. I guarantee all traders will be watching the weather Monday night to see what the weather did over the weekend, and more importantly will be the forecast for the next 2 weeks and then beyond. This holiday is always an active period when we return, and the market is capable of being volatile or even chaotic. That is all the more reason to have a plan and a strategy that allows you to trade without emotion, and I try to take advantage of that by using my chart and daily numbers to risk a small amount at support or resistance levels to get a good reward and take profits. I am not trying to buy the low of the move and sell the exact high; I try to take pieces out of the market instead.
I think we will see good support in corn at support levels, and if the PRC comes back into the corn market we could test $4 December corn. If we see that maybe November soybeans can get back to $9.45, and beyond that would have a shot at $9.80 even though I think that would take adverse weather to occur. You must remember there are fundamentals that could come into play such as the government realizing that corn stocks might not be what they thought they would be so maybe they will not go after 15% blend ethanol which would take away from corn demand and usage. We could get a meltdown in worldwide equities which would also be bearish, so realize that supply demand is not the only factors in price discovery.
Bottom line for me: I want to trade the market using the numbers without bias today.
July Soybeans for 6/30/10:
Grains: Spot on to accurate grain numbers. It was no surprise to see the grains under pressure seeing how the equities, and crude oil (and most commodities) were selling off before the grain open, as well as the dollar flexing its muscle. Weather forecasts could not be better right now for most of the grain belt. It was a surprise to see the losses by the end of the day. It seems like there was more exiting of bulls from the grain story that were not content to see how wrong they might be after the report today. Look at commodities in general (CRB Index), the bulls are underwater in 2010.
Whatever the report says, I trade strictly by my charts and numbers, and what I "think" never handcuffs me to a bias that if wrong will lose more than a trade I have no bias for. I am saying that the chart is always the main reasons I take a trade, set a risk where I know I am wrong, and have a goal that if reached (support or resistance) I take a profit.
The fundamental trader is usually a longer term trader, so they must have a plan that manages risk and time. Does not matter if one day your trade thought is more than correct, if you go bankrupt first. Even worse than that are the traders who go broke on one trade idea like being long corn or short gold this year. If corn keeps going down or gold keeps going higher, traders will profit greatly when right (no problem) but the trader on the wrong side can only stay with their position until the money runs out. I knew this when I bought my first membership decades ago. What I have found out since then is this is common with traders who have an ego and cannot except being wrong, who enjoy mental masochism, or "need" to make a certain amount of money. When you have made hundreds of thousands of trades you get used to making losing trades, and being wrong what you think. What is unimaginable to me is to put myself in the position of "what I think" on a given trade idea to ride the losing side until I am "busted". Those who go broke on one trade idea will always start when they explain what happened with the words "I did not think" (the unimaginable) the market could or would do what it did. As I have always insisted in this service, no matter how much money you have to trade with you must have a plan and strategy, have a money management plan that on any trade idea you have a defined risk reward (yes, I know that sometimes markets open through your exit price and causes more loss or profit), and avoid being emotional at any cost.
I think you have seen the highs already for our annual "summer rally". Weather is too good and if we continue to get rain in July like in June we should get a good yield. If we get any kind of a rally out of this report, I would not hesitate to get short at resistance levels. I think farmers will sell on any rally in the next 4 weeks. Unless the USDA really changes the picture, I will continue to be bearish, want to sell any resistance level, and look to buy at a support level to take profits, reload my trade gun, and look to sell again. I do not want to take the buy signals. Subscribers who have been with me since June 2009 know well that this has been my "mantra" and "battle cry". I have not only remained bearish fundamentally, I have remained faithful to not fight the chart when at near term support and play the "sell side" when opportunity knocks at strong resistance levels.
I will email you the report as soon as I can and should have it done by 9a.m. Chicago time.
Results for 6/29/10 were:
Soybeans: My resistance was .04 3/4 from the actual high; my support was .01 1/4 from the actual low.
Corn: My resistance was .01 3/4 from the actual high; my support was .03 from the actual low.
Crude Oil: My resistance was .11 from the actual high; my support was .04 from the actual low.
S&P: My resistance was 3.50 from the actual high; my support was 19.75 from the actual low.
Gold: My resistance was 4.20 from the actual high; my support was 2.40 from the actual low.
Euro: My resistance was .06 from the actual high; my support was .20 from the actual low.
Bonds: My resistance was 8 from the actual high; my support was 9 from the actual low.
Nat. Gas: My resistance was .064 from the actual high; my support was .067 from the actual low.
Cattle: My resistance was .37 from the actual high; my support was .30 from the actual low.
July Soybeans for 6/29/10:
In my daily numbers on Monday; my resistance was .04 3/4 from the actual high; my pivot acted as support and was .02 from the actual low.
Grains: Spot on corn numbers, and accurate soybean numbers. Soybeans are holding up going into the report, and it looks like the corn bears were able to take some profits after they pressed the market below the bracket line from 9/8/09 and got the sell stops below that low. Weak corn longs are out by now, and bottom pickers are well aware of the risk going into the report, so I think they will appear after the report no matter bullish or bearish.
NASS confirmed that June 15th was the cutoff date for acreage survey, so until the October report will we have a better idea of how much area was planted to corn and soybeans (and everything else). I look at the crop progress report today and I see that soybean planting increased 4% to 97% which is average for this time and leaves only 2.4 million acres unplanted. Soybean and corn ratings only decreased 2% which to me is bearish because we are still above normal and the next 2 weeks weather should increase the ratings.
I expect prices to hold these support levels going into the report, and so I have no desire to go home short but in no way would I be long. I have seen enough reports in many markets to tell you I am more concerned with the way a market reacts to a report than the report itself. I do not mean the first hour, but that day and maybe a day or two after. Charts and numbers do not read the reports or understand the fundamentals; at best the fundamentals are reflected in my bias while I formulate my numbers. They do tell me where past support and resistance has been, and trend lines as well as gaps do provide me with locations inside the bigger picture (of bracket lines). I trade charts and numbers looking for locations where I can know my risk is small to be proven wrong, and if my numbers hold my reward will be worth more than the risk. The risk is never significant to where emotions can be triggered, and the winners are taken in stride. The name of the game is to not be right the fundamentals, but instead you are rewarded when right the direction and price. I would rather be right the market for all the wrong reasons, than right the fundamentals and lose money.
July Soybeans for 6/28/10:
Grains: Spot on corn numbers, and soybean support was off 1/4 cent from the low and the resistance was off 5 cents. Soybeans are still near their highs of the last 6 weeks while corn is trading near their lows. Soybeans are balanced while corn is extremely oversold.
I have covered all the fundamentals that I feel are relevant and nothing has changed. I am not going to be like all the others who feel they must report "something" and chatter of fundamentals or news of the day that by the time they write it is history and already in the market. Even with option expiration on Friday, the trade floor was very quiet. Thursday night trade was no trade at all, with little volume or range. This could be because the market does not want to assume more risk before the report, and with open interest coming down almost daily, reflects the bulls taking risk off the table.
If we were near $3.55 in July corn or $9.40 in November soybeans I would think about going short into the report, but when corn is near the bracket line support I have no desire to do so. July soybeans are near resistance levels but still above their long term uptrend line, so at this time that market could go either way from here. November soybeans (new crop) have a more bearish chart and I would be more willing to be short. My position if we are at these prices would be to not have a position going into the report, but would rather want to trade it after the report comes out and I see what is there. Not having a position IS a position. (You can be long, short, or "flat" which means no position at all. Fully hedged producers are "flat" even though they have a short position in their "hedge account". Bottom Line: this report is a coin toss up or down, and if I had to guess bull or bear, I continue to call it "bear".

Well this is interesting. Internet media powerhouse Buzzfeed has a lengthy piece going after Father Z. Go here to read it. Go here to read 1Peter5's take on it. This is all very odd since Buzzfeed usually has as much interest in religion as a pig does in penance. The author of the hit piece writes about Catholicism with the same skill and knowledge as one would expect of a person blind from birth writing about the color green. So why would Buzzfeed do a piece on a topic of small interest to most of their readers? That is likely answered within the post:
Also, his critics say, he has rallied his followers to carry out harassment and no-platforming campaigns that directly recall the alt-right. In September 2017, in a post entitled "Should a seminary headline a homosexualist activist as a speaker?" Fr. Z alerted his audience to an upcoming speech by the progressive Jesuit priest Rev. James Martin at Catholic University, shortly after the publication of a new book by Martin urging dialogue between the Church and LGBT Catholics. Following Fr. Z's post, and denunciations by other popular conservative Catholic and schismatic websites, Martin became the target of an online harassment campaign, including threats of violence. And two days after Fr. Z's post, Catholic withdrew its invitation to Martin, citing "increasing negative feedback from various social media sites."
"For me the saddest thing about Father Z's blog is how cruel it is," Martin told BuzzFeed News. "It's astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred."
Fr. Z told BuzzFeed News that it was not his intention to sic the Zedheads — as he affectionately calls his readers — on Martin, and added that though he did not think it was appropriate for Martin to speak, he, too, had been disinvited from similar engagements for his views.
Father James Martin, SJ, that tireless crusader on behalf of homosexuality, is very, very well connected in the media. It is not fanciful to conjecture that he sicced some of his media friends on Father Z who had the audacity to actually hold Martin to account for what he writes and says. Those of us who have the temerity to be orthodox Catholics should expect more of this. Our adversaries have powerful friends within and without the Church and have few scruples in using them.
In response to this I have two words: Bring it.

Farmers struggle as aquifer runs dry
Written byMichael Wines, New York Times/GW
The southern part of the High Plains Aquifer, located in Texas, Kansas and Colorado, is running out of water.
About one-fifth of farmland along a 100-mile stretch of the aquifer has gone dry.
Farmers relied on the aquifer for water during the last two drought-stricken years. And now the Kansas Geological Survey reports that in 2011 and 2012, the average water level in the aquifer dropped 4.25 feet, nearly a third of the total decline since 1996.
Cutting out irrigation is cheaper for farmers but leads to much lower yields. Experts expect farmers to adapt to life with less water by farming without irrigation, but jobs and added income will be lost.
"Looking at areas of Texas where the groundwater has really dropped, those towns are just a shell of what they once were," said Jim Butler, a hydrogeologist and senior scientist at the Kansas Geological Survey.

Adrian Navarro-Canales, 16, was arrested last week on the Las Vegas Strip after bystanders ID'd the boy. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center awaiting his arraignment. Initially, the teenager was not a suspect in his mother and brothers stabbing murders, but that changed as evidence built up during the investigation. He is due in the Henderson Justice Court this morning and makes his first court appearance in an arraignment. Since Navarro-Canales is a minor, his booking/court/bail bonds information is not available to the public. If the suspect gets a bail bonds amount set in Henderson Justice Court today, we'll be sure to keep our story updated.

Orris root
From Cookipedia(Redirected from Orris)
Orris root is the root of some species of iris, grown principally in southern Europe: Iris germanica, Iris florentina, and Iris pallida. Once important in western herbal medicine, it is now used mainly as a fixative and base note in perfumery, as well as an ingredient in many brands of gin (perhaps most famously in Bombay Sapphire gin). Orris root must generally be hung and aged for 5 years before it can be used for perfumery.
Orris root is often included as one of the many ingredients of Ras el hanout, a blend of herbs and spices used across the Middle East and North Africa.

The first official trailer for director Anton Corbijn's (The American) dramatic spy thriller A Most Wanted Man has been released. Based on the John le Carre (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) novel of the same name, the film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman in one of his final roles as a German intelligence operative working to track down terrorists abroad. I caught the film at Sundance a few months ago and, essentially, it's exactly what you think an Anton Corbijn adaptation of a John le Carre novel would be. It's certainly a slow burn, but it's sharp and engrossing, offering a unique, global perspective on the post-9/11 world. Hoffman is, unsurprisingly, brilliant in the lead role as the focused yet jaded operative trying to navigate the no-win world of terrorist hunting, and just watching this trailer makes me enormously sad that he's no longer around to grace us with his irreplaceable talent.
Hit the jump to watch the A Most Wanted Man trailer, and click here to read my full review. The film also stars Robin Wright, Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, and Grigoriy Dobrygin. A Most Wanted Man opens in theaters on July 25th.
A Most Wanted Man trailer via Yahoo! Movies.
Here's the official synopsis for A Most Wanted Man:
Hamburg, Germany: 2012. A mysterious, tortured and near-dead half-Chechen, half-Russian man on the run (Grigoriy Dobrygin) arrives in the city's Islamic community desperate for help and looking to recover his late Russian father's ill-gotten fortune. Nothing about this young man seems to add up; is he a victim or a thief or, worse still, an extremist intent on destruction? Drawn into this web of intrigue are a banker (Dafoe) and a young female lawyer (McAdams) who is determined to defend the defenseless. All the while, they are being watched by the brilliant, roguish chief of a covert German spy unit (Hoffman), who fights to put the pieces together as the clock ticks. In an adrenaline laced and heart-rending escalation of tension and collision, it's not long before he becomes everyone's most wanted man. A Most Wanted Man, a cerebral tale of intrigue in the vein of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, is also contemporary and deeply human, touching themes in love, rivalry and politics we live with every day.

The Best of NAMA awards program honors the best work in agricultural communications. Actually, the best of the best, since companies and agencies must first qualify through regional competition in order to advance to the national level. The national awards ceremony will take place April 15, 2020, at the Sheraton San Diego Harbor Island.
Best of NAMA operates on a regional judging format. Entries are sent directly to the national NAMA office and judged by industry professionals at a regional level for possible advancement to national competition. A minimum point standard will be used and enforced at the regional level. Work that is not above a certain point standard will not be eligible to advance. If you place first or merit at the regional competition and score above the minimum point standard, you are eligible to advance to the national competition. The NAMA office will notify you by February 1, 2020, regarding entries eligible for advancement. An entry fee at both the regional and national level is required. If your entry advances to national it will not be necessary to create another entry.
NAMA will award five Best of Show winners in each of the following categories:
• Agricultural Audiences – Advertising
• Agricultural Audiences – Public Relations
• Agricultural Audiences – Digital
• Consumer Audiences (all disciplines)
• Specialty Audiences (all disciplines)
These five Best of Show winners will then be entered to compete for the Best of NAMA Grand Champion award, which will be awarded to the single-best entry in the 2018 Best of NAMA competition. Best of Show winners will not need to enter, or pay to enter, the Grand Champion judging. The five Best of Show winners will be entered automatically as part of the judging process at the national level.
Your local chapter receives $20 per regional entry. So enter your work in Best of NAMA and support your local chapter at the same time.

Hi there! Welcome to Mousterpiece Cinema, a weekly movie podcast hosted by Josh Spiegel and Scott Renshaw. Sit back, relax, and listen to our spirited discussions of films from all over the Walt Disney Company!
Saturday, April 28, 2012
Episode 43: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True
For any fan of Disney films, discussing their many direct-to-video sequels is truly going, to quote the line, where no man has gone before. This is the final frontier, and on the new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh and Gabe begin to explore it with 2002's follow-up to a movie that didn't seem to need one, Cinderella II: Dreams Come True. Listen to them discuss a movie that fellow co-host Michael dubbed a "cinematic atrocity," one so bad he refused to watch it even for the podcast. Does Cinderella II live up (or down) to such hype? Is it perhaps a diamond in the rough? Or is it as bad as Josh feared? Check out the new episode to find out!
Saturday, April 21, 2012
Episode 42: Cool Runnings
It's the middle of April, the heart of spring, so there's no better time to talk about a movie set at the Winter Olympics, right? If that sounds crazy, here's something crazier: bobsledders...from Jamaica! Yes, this week on the podcast, Josh and Michael take a look at the 1993 sports comedy Cool Runnings, based on the crazy-but-true story of four men from Jamaica who went to the 1988 Winter Olympics to be the first bobsledders from that country. Finally, with such a wild combination, Josh and Michael are on the same page about a Disney sports movie! There are some typically nutty tangents this week, with German accents and Bad Boys II coming into play. Check out the new Mousterpiece Cinema!
Saturday, April 14, 2012
Episode 41: Fantasia
It's a momentous week at Mousterpiece Cinema headquarters, as your three hosts--Josh, Mike, and Gabe--come together for the first time! And they're joined by a very special guest, Kate Kulzick from The Televerse podcast at Sound on Sight. What's the special occasion? This week, your hosts and their guest tackle one of the biggest classics in the Walt Disney Pictures filmography: Fantasia, the 1940 classic filled with animated segments set to pieces of classical music. With such a big movie to discuss, it's no surprise that the guys and Kate had a long, expansive discussion. You'll definitely want to listen as Josh commits another act of heresy, Kate educates us on the film's musical elements, and much, much more. Check out the new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema now!
Saturday, April 7, 2012
Episode 40: D3: The Mighty Ducks
You've been waiting for weeks, and finally, we've reached the thrilling, exciting, unexpected conclusion of the epic Mighty Ducks trilogy. The mysteries of the franchise will be answered on this special episode of Mousterpiece Cinema. Did Gordon Bombay abandon his beloved Ducks? What's Charlie's favorite musical group? Did your mischievous co-host Michael once again pull off a sneaky coup d'etat of the podcast's regular format from Josh? And what are your hosts' alcoholic drinks of choice? Pull up a seat--preferably a high-backed leatherbound chair--and check out a brand-new episode of Ducksterpiece--I mean, Mousterpiece Cinema.

Two teams heading in different directions at Inniskeen this afternoon Monaghan join Dublin on 7 points after round five of the league and leave Roscommon pointless.
article by Daithi Boland
It was a comprehensive and controlled victory for the Farney men winning on a full time score of 2-17 to 1-13.
The first half was fast and furious and entertaining as they home side led 0-12 to 0-08.
Jack McCarron was very impressive who notched 1-06 for the seventy minutes, Conor McManus was also proving to be a handful for the Roscommon defence as well as Shane Carey and Dessie Ward who all contributed for Malachy O'Rourkes men in the opening thirty five minutes.
The Rossies had a poor start but found themselves back in the contest with Ciaran Murtagh being the main scoring threat while Conor Devaney and Enda Smith worked hard in the half forward line. Darren O'Malley produced two outstanding saves in one on one moments.
Heading into the break it was the Ulster men that went in leading 0-12 to 0-08. While Roscommon grew as the first half went on the second half seen only one winner as Monaghan piled on the pressure especially in the third quarter.
Jack McCarron got the first of Monaghans goals with a scrappy finish with the second coming from Eoin Duffy which gave the home side a comfortable lead. With ten minutes to go Malachy O'Rourke made a number of changes with experienced players coming on.
Tadgh O'Rourke got a late goal and Enda Smith followed up with a point to put some respectability on the score board for Kevin McStays men.
Roscommon battle hard but were out fought by a side who now look really comfortable in the surroundings of division one.
A spot in the final two is now in Monaghan's hands with two games remaining and two big games with an away trip to Donegal next followed by a final day meeting against All Ireland champions Dublin
Manager Malachy O'Rourke spoke to Alan Gunn after the game

Blixt solid in Masters debut, with a few slips
Jonas Blixt, a Masters rookie, takes 2nd.
Jonas Blixt, a Masters rookie, takes 2nd.
Rickie Fowler is well-known for wearing all orange during the final rounds of golf tournaments. Swedish golfer Jonas Blixt, who is a friend of Fowler's and fellow Puma sponsee, had previously stated that he would sport an orange outfit if he were ever paired with the 24-year-old American. On Sunday at the Barclays, Blixt finally got his chance.
Jonas Blixt, who usually piles his trade on the PGA Tour, carded a four-under par 68 in the final round of the European Tour's Nordea Masters to finish second on the leaderboard, on Sunday, June 2, 2013.
After a victorious rookie season in 2012, the hard-working Blixt is looking for more.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Jonas Blixt polished off his round of 76 around noon on Sunday and planned to head home to take a nap.

We're enjoying our time in the Crested Butte area so far with our Lazy Daze entourage in the meadow. From left, Chris, Chuck and Carla, us and Debbie.
We went into town one night for pizza and beer at The Brick Oven. Gourmet pizza and 30 beers on tap, what's not to like! And most days we've spent hiking, as usual.
We did a nice hike on the Washington Gulch trail about 5 miles up the road from our campsite. Good thing Chuck drove their Jeep to the 11,000' trailhead, as the road gets pretty rough and steep. It is a beautiful trail, but we're still having haze from the western fires so it didn't make for the best views.
We passed an old mine along the way.
Climbed gradually to views with more mining equipment below.
Chuck and Carla are slowly adjusting to the altitude change from Iowa.
We came across a memorial bench in need of repair.
And continued on to an overlook.
I kept going down the trail while they were hanging around the overlook, but it was a steep descent to Gothic Valley and I knew my trail mates would not want to come back up, so we turned around there for about a 3 mile hike. A dark cloud with cold rain and strong wind came over us on our way back so it was a good thing we turned back when we did.
We saw several people on mountain bikes on the trail but it was much too steep for biking in our opinion. Of course they all looked to be in their twenties, which makes a difference. If the haze clears up we would like to go back and hike this one again.

The MLB All-Star game is set for July 11th in Miami after on Sunday night, July 2nd, there was a special ESPN program to announce the starters, pitchers, and reserves. If you follow the voting over at MLB.com over the past several weeks and the results that the league announced, a few of the players were not a big surprise that won the popular vote categories.
Leading the popular vote for all players this year was the Washington Nationals, Bryce Harper, who gathered up the most votes for any player. Just a few short years ago, some people were on the fence about how good Harper actually is, but with his winning of the NL MVP in 2015, he answered a lot of his critics with that solid showing.
Aaron Judge was also solidly voted into the 88th annual All-Star Game that this year will take place at the beautiful Marlins Park. Judge got the most votes for all American League players at just under 5 million votes. He burst onto the MLB scene this year with many towering home runs for the Yankees so far just prior to the All-Star break.
For the Phillies, there was a couple names floating around as possible candidates. Pat Neshek, Phillies relief pitcher, was the favorite with this ERA that stood at 1.39 as the announcement of the All-Star representatives were announced, the other was Aaron Altherr, Phillies outfielder, who has shown the way for the Phillies offense so far this year with 13 HR and 41 RBI as of Sunday, July 2nd. It was Neshek who was selected to represent the Phillies this year, this decision didn't fall on the NL manager's lap as it did in the previous years, the decision for the teams that had no winners in the popular vote went to MLB executive, Joe Torre.
As far as this year's All-Star game is concerned, it should be again very interesting to see what team emerges as the winner. Last year it was the American League who won 4-2 at Petco Park in San Diego. In fact the AL has won the last 4 All-Star games. The over/under for the All-Star game is set at an interesting 7.5, should great pitching prevail, this could be an easy run line win. If the bats show up though, we could be looking at an explosive run line in this game.
Since the All-Star game started in 1933, the American League holds a 43-39-2 advantage over the National League. You can see that it's very evenly matched up by that stat, the only two ties were in 2002 (2-2) and in 1961 (1-1).

Are Michael Bay And Optimus Prime Through With Transformers?
Nearly a decade has passed since the release of Michael Bay's first Transformers movie, and the release of the fifth installment (Transformers: The Last Knight) is just over a month away. Based on a new plot synopsis posted on the franchise's Facebook page, you can expect one major presence to be absent—at least at the outset.
"Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone," the synopsis explains. "The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock). There comes a moment in everyone's life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours."
However, if the franchise survives, don't be surprised if it continues without director Michael Bay. "With every Transformers film, I've said it would be my last," he wrote on his official site, before clarifying that he usually changes his mind. "I see the 120 million fans around the world who see these movies, the huge theme park lines to the ride and the amazing Make-A-Wish kids who visit my sets, and it somehow keeps drawing me back. I love doing these movies. This film was especially fun to shoot. But, this time might really be it. So I'm blowing this one out."
Transformers: The Last Knight arrives in theatres on June 23. For a preview of the franchise's latest transformation, check out the trailer below.

CINCINNATI— The Scripps National Spelling Bee has released its 2018-2019 Great Words, Great Works book list for students to spend time reading, spelling and comprehending, starting this summer.
The list is now available on the Bee's website, spellingbee.com.
The Great Words, Great Works list includes 49 titles for students spanning first through eighth grades and all genres from contemporary fiction to classics to nonfiction. The books are carefully selected by the Bee's editorial team for their engaging and age-appropriate content as well as their rich vocabulary. The books on the list are the source of the Scripps National Spelling Bee's annual School Spelling Bee Study List – 450 words to help students prepare for a school-level spelling bee.
"Our Great Words, Great Works list strengthens the connection between reading and spelling," said Paige Kimble, executive director of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. "Studying spelling words in the context of a great story gives them incredible staying power. The list can serve as the go-to source for parents who are looking for books that will inspire and benefit their children throughout the year and for teachers who want books that challenge their students and prepare them to be great spellers."
Here is a sampling of the 2018-2019 Great Words, Great Works list:
• "Benny Doesn't Like to Be Hugged" by Zetta Elliott (first grade) is a gentle story of a child's experience with autism that encourages children to appreciate and accept differences.
• "Give Bees a Chance" by Bethany Barton (second grade) helps children understand how extra special and important bees are to the world.
• "Worst of Friends: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and the True Story of an American Feud" by Suzanne Tripp Jurmain and Larry Day (third grade) draws readers into the friendship and rivalry that grew between two Founding Fathers.
• "CatStronauts: Mission Moon" by Drew Brockington (fourth grade) tells the story of space cats on a mission to set up a solar power plant on the moon. This is the first time the Great Words, Great Works list includes a graphic novel.
• "The Magic Misfits" by Neil Patrick Harris (fifth grade) shares the adventures of a young street magician who gets the help of friends to stop the thieving ways of villainous illusionists.
• "The Player King" by Avi (sixth grade) is a historical fiction novel about the boy who falsely claimed to be Prince Edward, the heir to the throne of England, in 1487.
• "My Brigadista Year" by Katherine Paterson (seventh grade) follows a young Cuban teenager in the 1960s as she volunteers for Fidel Castro's national literacy campaign to teach others how to read.
• "Red Queen" by Victoria Aveyard (eighth grade) is about palace intrigue, class hierarchy and deception as a woman of humble beginnings is thrust into the elite class.
Click here for the complete 2018-2019 Great Words, Great Works list.
"Nothing makes me feel more inspired than being surrounded by the books that I love because nothing has shaped me more as a person than the words that I've read," said Shelley Johannes, author of "Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker," a third-grade selection on this year's list. "I have always been a huge fan of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. I have so much respect and admiration for anybody who goes after a goal with enthusiasm and obsession, and I think that the Bee is so good at that. I will be rooting for all the spellers as they go along on their journey."
"It is such an honor that the Bee has selected my book as a first-grade fiction recommendation," said Zetta Elliott, author of "Benny Doesn't Like to be Hugged." "I'm excited that so many kids are going to be using books to help improve their vocabulary and their spelling skills."
While the book list is available to the public, schools that enroll in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program get exclusive access to additional materials including comprehension guides for select titles; activities directly from the authors; and the School Spelling Bee Study List to help students begin their spelling journey to the national finals. For more information on enrollment or to sign up, go to spellingbee.com.

I've been wanting to get to this space all week, to tell you about my magical, yarn-filled weekend. It was like Candy Land, but with yarn.
I went to Vogue Knitting LIVE to represent Stash, and expected to have a great time. What actually happened was so personally satisfying and thrilling, it blew my wool socks off.
The people were kind and open and enthusiastic. I met old friends, new friends, blog friends, podcast friends, and knitterari friends. The wool fumes and collective buzz of knitterly enthusiasm was contagious, and I instantly felt my lust for knitting surge. This was just the medicine I needed to cure a pretty bad case of Knitting Burnout. I hadn't knit in weeks, and was even starting to skip my daily Ravelry check-ins. It was bad. Rest assured, this was a brief malady, and I am now on a steady prescription of New Yarn.
I had a lot of fun playing with different color combinations of Loft in the Churchmouse booth for a Turnagain Cowl. I already had the Sap and Plume colorways in my stash, so I started with those and then played with different color stories. I'm pretty excited about what I came up with, and even though it isn't exactly wool-cowl weather, I'm itching to cast on asap.
I'm also pretty excited about that mini skein bundle of lavender gradient yarn from Black Trillium, the gradient cakes from Freia, the 2 ply hand-dyed from Spincycle Yarns, and the Madelinetosh. So much new yarn!
Should you think owning a yarn shop satisfies the urge to impulse buy yarn, let me tell you it does not! When faced with the temptations of new yarn, I am just as powerless as the rest of us yarnaholics.
What yarn or projects are you itching to cast on right away?
You can read more about the trip and see photos full of yarn-drunk knitters over on the Stash blog.

The Jerusalem Post reports: Islamic Jihad's military wing, al-Quds Brigades, released a video on Tuesday documenting the preparations conducted by its tunnel fighters to avenge the blood of Palestinians "executed" by the IDF.
The two-minute long video, titled "Blood readiness," starts by showing an IDF soldier that while inspecting Palestinian cars at a West Bank checkpoint, orders a suspicious young Palestinian to step out of his family's car in order to question him. Watch it below:
Shortly afterward, the Israeli soldier violently pulls the Palestinian out of the car and shoots him, even though the latter raises his hand in a gesture of surrender.
After he is killed, drops of blood falling from the young Palestinian are seen slowly leaking underneath the road he is laid on, finally landing on a Quds Brigades fighter who is busy digging tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border.

The Afghan defence ministry said around 1,050 Afghan troops died in 2012 as the army reached its full size and conducted an increasing number of its own missions.
Police deaths have also risen.
The heavy casualties come amid uncertainty over how the hastily-built Afghan forces will perform once they lose the Nato equipment and firepower they have relied on for a decade.
The international coalition has said it will end combat missions by the end of 2014. Without a peace deal with the Taliban, which many view as a distant prospect, the fighting is likely to continue after a foreign withdrawal.
Gen Mohammad Zahir Azimi, spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Defence, said Afghan forces were now charged with 80 per cent of security missions and were particularly badly hit by roadside bombs.
"Our forces are out there in the battlefields and combat areas more than at any other time in the past," he told the AP news agency.
An Afghan officer responsible for repatriating soldiers killed in southern Afghanistan, told The Daily Telegraph he had been working flat out all summer to fly home those killed in action.
"There were many martyrs each week," he said.
Heavy attrition rates from casualties and desertion remain the biggest weakness of the young Afghan forces. Accidents also contribute to the high casualty toll.
Meanwhile, Nato deaths have continued to fall. By Monday, 405 coalition troops had been killed in the Afghan campaign in 2012, down from 566 in 2011 and 711 in 2010, according to the icasualties monitoring website.
Britain has lost 44 killed this year, down from a peak of 108 in 2009.

NEW YORK, May 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Electro-pop recording artist Sir Ivan has officially released his new single and video La La Land on May 21st on his Peaceman Music label. The song was produced by the LA based team of Russell Ali and Jason Evigan, who also created the melody, while Josh Skinner and Sir Ivan are credited with writing the lyrics. The new single features mixes by Grammy nominated Midi Mafia (50 Cent, Justin Bieber, John Legend, Nelly, etc.), Grammy nominated Rosabel (Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, etc.) and the hot new re-mixer duo Papercha$er (Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, etc.).

La La Land is Sir Ivan's first single release following his highly acclaimed 2009 debut album I Am Peaceman, which primarily consisted of remakes of iconic anti-war songs from the 1960's. True to his "Peaceman" persona, the words to La La Land depict a perfect world where there is actually peace on earth.
The release of La La Land comes on the heels of Sir Ivan's last two single releases, which were back-to-back Top Ten global hits. His Hare Krishna single went to # 10 on Billboard Magazine's Dance Club Songs Chart in the U.S. in April 2011. His Live For Today single went to # 7 on Music Week Magazine's Upfront Club Chart in October 2011 and made it to #10 on Music Week Magazine's Commercial Pop Club Chart in February 2012. This latter chart marked a milestone in Sir Ivan's career, being the first time he went Top Ten on radio.
The La La Land video, directed by Dylan Trussel and David Dinetz, was filmed in Los Angeles. The video creates a colorful, artistic world where all problems are solved, all types are tolerated and all differences celebrated......a world where everyone sings, dances and loves together in paradise. The La La Land video will be viewable on YouTube and other prominent music video sites.
La La Land, Sir Ivan's I Am Peaceman album and his entire music portfolio are distributed digitally through TuneCore, which includes iTunes, physically/digitally through Amazon.com, with exclusive mixes available through Beatport and Traxsource. For more information visit www.SirIvan.com

A top Air Force general, crossing swords with Pentagon leadership, says a proposed cap on the number of F-22 stealth fighters puts America at "high risk" of compromising military strategy.
In a June 9 letter to a senator, Gen. John Corley, commander of the Air Force's Air Combat Command, wrote: "In my opinion, a fleet of 187 F-22s puts execution of our current national military strategy at high risk in the near to mid term." General Corley's letter, obtained by the Monitor Thursday, came in response to a query from Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R) of Georgia, where parts of the F-22 Raptor are built.
The 187 cap is the symbolic centerpiece of Defense Secretary Robert Gates's budget request, which aims to rein in defense procurement costs. He has said it is time to wrap up the program to buy the $140 million-a-copy plane.
The Air Force had long disagreed, calling for as many as 381 planes as recently as last year, in apparent defiance of Mr. Gates. The Defense Secretary fired the Air Force's two top leaders last year, largely over the issue.
The new Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Norton "Norty" Schwartz, is on board with Gates's position, publicly stating his support for ending the program in a newspaper oped in April. "The time has come to move on," General Schwartz and Air Force Secretary Michael Donley wrote.
But General Corley, in his letter, wrote that "there are no studies" yet to justify the figure of 187. Even 250 F-22s would put the nation at "moderate risk," Corley wrote, citing analysis by his command.
The F-22 has been a lightning rod between those who want the Pentagon to spend its money on capabilities it needs now, to fight counterinsurgencies like those in Afghanistan and Iraq, and those who say the US military needs to be prepared for a conflict with a "near peer," such as Russia or China.
Some in Congress agree that 187 is an arbitrary number. Gates has said it finishes the program by having enough planes for six squadrons. Some lawmakers expect that another 20 planes will be added to the defense spending bill.
Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D) of Hawaii said Thursday that Congress will have the final say about how many F-22 the Pentagon needs.
"[The Pentagon] needs to learn who's in charge, and the Congress is," Mr. Abercrombie, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, told reporters here early Thursday.
Gates did not speak about the Corley letter at a Pentagon briefing Thursday. But he seems disinclined to shy away from a fight with Congress, speaking in blunt terms about lawmakers' apparent attempt to continue the F-22 program.
"I would say it's a big problem," Gates said. He would not say whether adding more planes to the budget would force a presidential veto of the bill. "I'm not going to go that far at this point," he said. "I think describing it as a big problem suggests where I am on it."
Air Force officials, meanwhile, say the service must spend more of its limited resources on remote-control aircraft – used heavily in today's wars – and other equipment and training because of the immediate need for them. In response to the letter from Corley, Schwartz and Air Force Secretary Michael Donley issued a joint statement Thursday that read: "After carefully considering a full range of views and alternatives, including those expressed by Gen. Corley, we recommended to Secretary Gates that other priority Air Force programs should not be reduced in order to fund additional F-22s beyond the program of record."

Camille Hart is devastated, frightened, and unsure how to break the news to her physician husband of twenty years, Edward Constantin. The cancer they thought she beat last year has returned and her odds of survival are slim, at best, even if she agrees to undergo risky treatment that might make her final days agonizing.
Although their marriage is the one that, if asked to bet, all of their friends and family members would pick as most likely to weather any storm, it was tested during Camille's treatment and recovery. The ordeal also took a predictable toll on their two children, teen-aged Kyra and young Kyle. Specifically, it demonstrated the difficulties Edward would face as a single parent and dredged up painful memories of Camille's own childhood. After her mother's death, when Camille was just fourteen years old, her father, Larry, was physically and emotionally absent most of the time, leaving Camille to raise her younger sister, Holly.
Camille is determined that she will not undergo futile treatment, instead opting for chemotherapy that will prolong her life and enable her to enjoy as much quality time as possible with her family while continuing to run her business. A professional matchmaker, she also focuses on ensuring that, following her own death, her children will not be left to fend for themselves the way she and Holly were. Camille begins the search for her husband's next wife, the woman who will be her children's devoted stepmother — despite Edward's protests.
Single-minded in her desperate effort to spare her children from the anguish she still carries with her about her own childhood, Camille proceeds with her plan, unmindful of the fact that tampering with others' emotions and futures might have a disastrous impact on all concerned . . . especially her.
"Be careful what you wish for." Author Eileen Goudge's latest novel, The Replacement Wife is an exploration of that old adage, set in present-day Manhattan where the best medical care in the world is available, but still inherently fallible and, sadly, too-often limited.
Camille's matchmaking business is thriving in a culture where single professionals need help finding a life mate. Her own happy marriage to Edward is her best form of advertising. Even though their bond was tested during the prior year while she underwent debilitating treatment for cancer, including a stem cell transplant, she and their union survived. The children are thriving in the family's new state of normal and, as the story opens, Camille hopes to hear the same news she has been given during her prior recent check-ups. Unfortunately, one look at her test results tells her that matters have again worsened, even before her doctor has a chance to detail the latest, bleakest possible findings.
Edward, an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist), has a keen understanding of the medical challenge Camille is again facing. He is also utterly devoted to his wife and children, and cannot envision his life without Camille. She is like oxygen — completely necessary for his own survival. Thus, he cannot accept her decision not to undergo aggressive treatment in a last-ditch effort to beat the odds. He also consults his colleagues, searching for an available clinical trial or alternative form of treatment with the hope that if such opportunity presents itself, he can convince Camille to participate. At the outset then, Goudge pits Edward and Camille against each other.
Their relationship faces further complications when Camille announces that she is not only going to find a perfect replacement wife for Edward, but launch the relationship before her own demise. In the hands of a less skillful writer, Camille could have been transformed into a sadomasochistic monster in readers' eyes, losing their sympathy and compassion at that point in the story. However, Camille's childhood losses inform and compel her actions. Moreover, by that point, Goudge has already endeared readers to the feisty matchmaker and her dashingly handsome and charming husband, frequently compared to George Clooney in looks, if not temperament, and cemented Camille's believably altruistic motives.
As Camille proceeds to introduce Elise, a beautiful divorced schoolteacher whose first husband was unfaithful to her, to Edward and their unsuspecting children, readers will feel like passersby watching a train about to careen off its tracks, yelling at the engineer, who cannot hear them, to immediately hit the brakes before it is too late to prevent a catastrophe. Aware of Camille's goal, Elise reluctantly agrees to meet her family and once she does, she cannot help but develop feelings for all of them, but especially Edward. Edward complies only to placate Camille, still intent on convincing her to abandon her crazy scheme and undergo more aggressive treatment, no matter how slight the chance that it can save her.
Yet another cliche plays heavily in Goudge's tale: the cruel twists that fate is capable of delivering bring both surprising news and yet another potential candidate for the role of replacement wife into Edward and Camille's lives. At that point, Goudge takes the story in an unpredictable but fascinating direction as all involved must grapple with the changes that news brings to their lives and relationships.
The Replacement Wife is a mesmerizing work because Goudge has carefully constructed characters who are well-meaning, loving, and moral. They each, in their own imperfect way, want only to do the right thing both for their loved ones and themselves, seeking to make choices that address their own emotional needs and boundaries, while taking into account the feelings of those they love. And for that reason, it is a story that is not only impossible to put down, but will keep readers guessing about the outcome until the very end, in no small measure because it is clear that Goudge, like her audience, wants only the best outcome for this surprisingly empathetic collection of searchers for true love.
The Replacement Wife is replete with flawed but relatable characters facing real-world, wrenching questions to which there are not ready or pain-free answers.

MELBOURNE, Australia — As her match dragged more than three hours, Maria Sharapova stomped and grunted and stole glances at her box. Her face twisted into grimaces. She seemed happiest on changeovers, underneath the shade of an umbrella, an ice vest draped over the back of her neck.
So much appeared stacked against her: temperatures that climbed to 44 degrees Celsius (111 Fahrenheit) and forced Australian Open officials to invoke their "extreme heat policy" and shut down play on the outside courts; a serve that turned shaky with a series of double faults; and an opponent, Karin Knapp of Italy, who played a fearless brand of tennis, as if buoyed by the heat.
Sharapova botched three match points earlier in the third set, as momentum swung in Knapp's direction. Inside Rod Laver Arena, the air felt thick, heavy, even with the roof partially closed to provide shade. Programs became makeshift fans. Empty water bottles filled trash cans. To say it was hot was to say there was tennis — two obvious assertions.
Knapp slung winners from the baseline, hitting harder, her shots more daring the later the match went. Sharapova fought. She fought through three doubles faults. She fought through temperatures that turned Melbourne Park into tennis's Mojave Desert. She fought until ahead late in the third set, when Knapp sent a backhand long and their contest ended, finally, mercifully, the tally 6-3, 4-6, 10-8. Sharapova advanced to the third round.
So many questions lingered afterward. They centered on whether the match should have been finished at all under such sauna-like conditions. The participants were not so sure — and clearly not that happy.
"There is no getting around the fact that the conditions were extremely difficult, and have been for the last few days," Sharapova said.
Sharapova took the most issue with the uncertainty involved. She noted that players do not know at what temperature matches will be stopped — because there is no exact temperature but rather the discretion of the tournament referee. She said she received her first weather-related notification from tournament officials after her match, while she was in an ice bath.
She also said she did not want to complain, and that she never considered on court whether the temperatures were too high, the conditions too dangerous. She thought only about winning, surviving, making it through to the next round.
Knapp was asked the same questions afterward. "Maybe they should change some rules," she said. "Because it's not the same like playing under the roof. It was really tough."
Their match lasted for three hours and 28 minutes. But while the third set continued without an end in sight, the Open announced the implementation of its extreme heat policy. It was the third day a heat wave here that had resulted in lowered attendance; caused one player to faint on court and another player to vomit; and left one participant, Ivan Dodig of Croatia, to say Wednesday "I was thinking I could die here" after cramps forced him to retire from a singles match.
When the policy went into effect, it meant that no matches were played on the outside courts until 6 p.m. local time, a break of four hours. Play continued at Rod Laver and Hisense arenas, where the roofs were closed.
None of that helped Sharapova, her face the picture of agony. The chair umpire warned Sharapova for taking too long on her serve, and the third seed shot an icy glare in the umpire's direction. Both players tried to step into the shade behind the baselines between points until the next serve.
Whenever Sharapova seemed to take control, Knapp countered. She stepped into her groundstrokes, took the ball early, sent flat backhands into corners to force Sharapova to give chase.
Sharapova eventually recovered. She ripped a forehand winner down the line to break Knapp at 8-8. The crowd stood and cheered and reached for the closest nearby beverage.
"I had to play, and I had to finish the match and do it the best I can," Sharapova said. "It's not the best conditions, but I don't want to complain."
When it ended, Sharapova pumped both fists and walked toward the net. She did not look happy so much as she looked relieved. Next up: air conditioning and sleep.

About Our Site
CardiacMatters was formed to offer a unique reference point on advice on heart disease and keeping a healthy heart.
Did you know that your heart beats 36 million times every year? If you live to be 70, that means your heart will have done over 2.5 billion heartbeats and you haven't had to consciously make it do any of them. The vast majority probably went completely unnoticed and most of us have no idea how the heart works.
If you want to find out more about your heart, CardiacMatters is a unique and valuable reference resource that gives a powerful and thorough insight into this vital organ. The Healthy Heart section explains how the heart works and exactly what a heart beat is. It also provides sound advice about caring for the heart by adopting a healthy lifestyle. As long as the heart is cared for, it will carry on well beyond 2.5 billion beats; treat it badly and the consequences can be deadly.
CardiacMatters has detailed information about all aspects of heart disease. Learn why the heart can become enlarged, what can go wrong with the heart valves, how infection or blood clots can damage the heart and how the control of the way the heart beats can go haywire.
There are articles on the types of tests that are available to check out how healthy your heart is and to diagnose problems. There is also plenty of helpful information about the drugs used to treat common heart conditions, and their potential side effects.
Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by experts - who have experience, or a particular interest in this area.
Our BackgroundCardiacMatters was founded by John Rowlinson, the founder of PtS.
John, through PtS, is involved in a number of ventures including software and property companies. A percentage of revenue from these activities goes towards funding CardiacMatters and a number of similar sites.
Our focus is simply on having experts create the highest quality information possible that is widely read.

SAHD has, touchingly in my book – and believe me, it takes a lot to touch this snappy, leathery old turtle - by assuming I still exist and commenting accordingly. BTW, SAHD, didn't I see you in a newspaper recently? – was vicariously proud and hope things are working out well for you.
I have a slight technical problem in that I started to lose my magic cloak of invisibility as a blogger. Once my daughter (and one of her friends) discovered 3kids I felt unable to write freely – especially about her as she's now bigger than me and twice as articulate. Similar problem with parents I know at the school I work at (not bigger than me, which is good, know a lot of the other parents – not so good).
So am going to think it all over and try to come up with a different way of doing things….new blog? New identity? Police witness protection?
Hope all is going well with all of you, though, and aim to be in touch very soon.

Thank you for your inspiring program!: "Find Your Voice: Speaking Without Apology"! In just two hours, your valuable advice had me make the mental shift to perceiving my value as being equal to those I work and build my confidence. Your message truly resonated and instantly motivated me to apply your tools immediately. I started rethinking how I phrase my emails at work, and I have been catching myself before I use words which have been minimizing me. Since this program, I have also been actively pushing myself to speak my views at meetings to be heard, and it felt great. These simple tweaks have been effective in building my confidence this past week and I already see a positive change in how my colleagues have responded!Reema Albahri, Civil Engineer HAKS
Since working with Marisa as my business coach, I am more confident within myself , in my business and all the skills which I bring to the table and now have an increased client base. I have established a clear schedule and system with my work. She has guided me in establishing my own coaching programmes which at one time seemed impossible. Marisa is not only passionate about what she does, she is extremely enthusiastic about helping women in what they have set out to do; she listens and understands your business and caters to your needs which makes it so enjoyable working with her. She is full of knowledge and wisdom in vast areas in business.Harriet Khataba, London Her Story Matters
Marisa helped me bring out my inner leader I always knew was there, but felt stuck. I feel I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Putting my authority into words and on paper was a struggle. I always felt like I was asking a favor when I needed to hold people accountable for their deliverables. My language is now more authoritative and directional with improved results. Her guidance has helped me not only create a plan to obtain my dream job but continue to take the steps towards making it a reality.
Marisa, when I sat in the room with you, I felt such positive energy. I felt I wasn't the only woman who has experienced that "lowest rank on the totem pole" feeling. I felt like I could conquer all of the insignificant feelings I experience at work. I am so empowered! I put the "gutsy word strategy" into play the day after your seminar and WOW did it make a difference in next steps for my team. I am working on my Gutsy Freedom Form and can't wait to join the school! Thank you!Yolanda Padilla Project Manager, Healthcare
I work in an industry that is not always the easiest to obtain a job if you are not being referred, and is extremely competitive. I knew I needed to step up my game to catch the attention of recruiters to stay in the 100k salary range. I had the awesome opportunity to meet Marisa at a business event in Stanford, CT. Once she told me about her company, In Our Shoes, I knew I had to work with her. Marisa's unique ability to prepare you for those 6-figure positions, resume format, style is paralleling. Within a week of submitting my resume, I was receiving emails and calls for interviews! Thank you Marisa for your brilliance and the endless encouraging talks which prepared me for where I am today.Dora Raine-Islamovic, Atlanta
I am an entrepreneur who needed an accountability coach who truly understood my business goals. Marisa is passionate and driven to make you succeed! She is confident, focused and has exceptional leadership skills. Marisa exceeded my expectations and continued to follow up even after our coaching sessions. I would highly recommend her and would further the conversation by telephone for any additional questions! +914.325.1528 firstname.lastname@example.com Wasserman, New York City Town Residential
I was hand-picked my Apple in 3 weeks, flown out to their headquarters in California for an interview! I used all of her suggestions, developed my resume and signature speech for the phone and in-person interviews all based on her approach and followed her tools exactly. This was all-new information to me! Her system for helping me raise my confidence and potential worked like a charm. I feel like a million bucks. I was able to incorporate so many parts of her Gutsy Leadership System into my career while still being very authentic and true to myself. If you're looking to get out there bigger, feel empowered in your career and personal life and get visible quickly, you've got to get a copy of her self-study program or sit down with her, today.Kara Kent, White Plains
After attending your seminar, the advice and tools you delivered in just two hours was life changing for me. It will not only accelerate my career but help my clients as well. Thank you!Lisa Rubinstein Entrepreneur, NYC
