Jesus set the book of nature before me and I saw that all the flowers he has created are lovely. The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. I realized that if every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness and there would be no wildflowers to make the meadows gay.Saint Therese of Lisieux, from Story of a Soul
It is just the same in the world of souls which is the garden of Jesus. He has created the great saints who are like the lilies and the roses, but he has also created much lesser saints and they must be content to be the daisies or the violets which rejoice his eyes whenever he glances down. Perfection consists in doing his will, in being that which he wants us to be.
Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be - and becoming that person.

Punjab CM Awards SDMs, DSPs Of Four Districts For Outstanding Work In Drug Eradication
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday awarded the four best Sub Divisional Mission Teams (SDMTs) for their outstanding contribution to the government's mission to eradicate drugs from the state.
The Chief Minister, while handing over the appreciation certificates to SDMs and DSPs here at Punjab Agriculture University (PAU), exhorted them to redouble their efforts to ensure 100% public participation in the anti-drug campaign of the government. Public participation was critical to the fight against drugs, he said, while assuring the officers of his government's full support in their efforts against drug abuse.
Interacting with SDMs and DSPs of Abohar, Barnala, Payal, and Taran Taran, who had been selected on the basis of their performance which was reviewed at the STF zonal level, the Chief Minister lauded their dedication to duty. The award would encourage healthy competition in the force to perform, he added.
Those awarded included SDMs Payal Swati, Sandeep Kumar, Poonam Singh and Surinder Singh, and DSPs Payal Rashpal Singh, Jasvir Singh, Rahul Bhardawaj, Gurwinder Sangha, Bhikhiwind Sulkhan Singh Mann and Patti Sohan Singh.
Earlier, Nodal Officer DAPO Rahul Tewari apprised the Chief Minister that a total of 91 Sub Divisional Mission Teams (SDMTs) were constituted to create awareness among the people about drug abuse, and to motivate the affected youth to come forward for treatment. The SDMTs were given a deadline of July end to cover the state, which was successfully done, he added.
Those present at the event included Senior Advisor to CM Lt. General (Retd) T S Shergill, STF Chief Harpreet Singh Sidhu, Commissioner Police Ludhiana Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill, Deputy Commissioner Ludhiana Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal.

Dave Christensen is the greatest lawyer inside and out." - Tashee P. - Oak Park, MI
David made sure all of my medical bills were paid for." - Antonio D. - Livonia, MI
Christensen Law is not an ordinary firm, it's exceptional." - D.T. - Jackson, MI
They took my case to trial & won me a great settlement." - H.H Davidson
You've just been injured in a vehicle collision. You're in a hospital room, hurting, traumatized, and scared. You can barely move because of the pain. And there's a question troubling you.
In addition to worry about your physical health, one of the first questions that will come to you after the doctors and nurses leave you alone is this: Who will pay my medical bills after an accident?
The good news is you have a couple of options, both of which a Michigan auto accident lawyer can help you with.
Michigan law requires all drivers to carry insurance, just like in other states. In Michigan, however, we use a "no-fault" system when it comes to insurance coverage. This means that, no matter which driver caused the accident, both would need to recover compensation from their own insurance policies.
That means you will file a claim with your own policy to pay for the damages your collision caused, including your medical care. Your insurance should also cover the following:
The other way to get all of your medical costs covered is to file a lawsuit against the driver who injured you. In Michigan, you can only file a personal injury suit against another driver if you've suffered serious injuries in the accident.
Your car crash attorney can advise you on whether your injuries meet the threshold for "serious bodily injury."
A motor vehicle crash lawyer with David Christensen Law can help you determine who will pay your medical bills after an accident. Whether you need to file a claim with your own insurance policy or file a personal injury claim against an at-fault driver, we can help you get through this.
Give us a call at 248-213-4900 or enter your information into the contact form below to speak with a Michigan car accident lawyer.

I'm not the world's biggest fan of alliterative names, but I also wouldn't say that I hate them.

If they're under-the-radar enough that they don't draw attention to themselves -- and I think many alliterative names (like the ones in your family) fall into this category -- what's the harm?

I just don't like it when parents take alliteration too far and end up with something conspicuously cartoonish. I think silly-sounding names can work against people who are trying to convey themselves as serious or authoritative (for professional reasons, say).Nancyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Three-time Dove nominees the Marksmen Quartet of Murrayville, Georgia cross the Generations with their latest CD. From the first song – Albert E. Brumley's classic "I Firmly Promise You," the smooth harmonies, which have made the group a Southern gospel and bluegrass mainstay for the last 47 years, blend the talents of three generations from the act's most enduring families.
Virginia favorites, The Bluegrass Brothers, release their brand new album, Generations on Mountain Fever Records. The first single, "Memories of My Childhood," written by Danny Lam, was released in May and marked the re-birth of this stellar bluegrass institution and brother duo. The single charted last week at #14 in the nation on Bluegrass Today's weekly airplay chart.

We'd like to take a moment to focus on tea, the benefits of tea, and how to prepare tea. While we more commonly focus on coffee here in the U.S., tea is the second most popular drink in the world, (second only to water), and has long been known as one of the healthiest beverage options.
Preparing tea can be done in 3 simple steps:
1.Choose your tea
2. Heat Water
3. Steep your tea (using either bagged tea or a tea infuser)
While preparing tea is simple, there is also a wealth of fascinating information about tea and how to make a great cup of tea. Below, we've answered several common questions about tea:
"I've Tried Tea and it was Like Drinking Slightly Flavored Water." Is this True of Tea? This statement is probably the most common we hear about tea by a non tea-drinker. But many who are not familiar with tea forget that there are thousands of varieties of tea, ranging from calm and mild tasting to bold and intense. Another factor for lack of flavor could be incorrect steeping time, or the use of a cheaper tea. Even replacing bagged tea with loose leaf tea can make all the difference. Of course, some people simply don't enjoy tea just as some people don't enjoy coffee.
What Tea Varieties are There? Tea originates from the plant Camella sinensis. From this single plant there are thousands of varieties of tea. The tea varies based on what region and soil it was grown in, the time of year it was picked, and how it was processed. The primary tea groupings include: green tea, white tea, oolong tea, black tea and herbal tea. Within each of these tea groupings are thousands of variations. Be aware that herbal teas, which include roobois teas, and mate teas are not made with the Camella sinensis plant. Herbal teas are blends of herbs, fruit, and flowers. Roobois teas are made from a South African red bush and mate teas are made from the twigs and leaves of the yerba mate plant.
I've Heated Up My Hot Water, Now How Do I Brew My Tea? After you've heated up your water, you can pour it into your cup or pot with your tea. If you're using a bagged tea, simply add your tea bag to the cup of hot water. If you're using loose leaf tea, spoon approximately 1 tablespoon, (per 8 oz. of water), of loose tea into your infuser and set your infuser into your cup of hot water. Keep in mind that with softer teas such as green or white you do not want to use too hot of water. With softer teas, too hot of water can often create a bitter taste to the tea. Once you've added your hot water, allow the tea to steep. The term 'steep' refers to allowing the tea to sit in the cup of hot water for the necessary amount of time. The amount of time for steeping tea commonly depends on the type of tea. Many tea brands will actually provide an estimated steeping time on the packaging or online for the tea. After trying the recommended time, you can also learn your preferred steeping time for different teas by experience. Allow your tea to steep a bit longer or shorter and see what you prefer. Keep in mind that with most teas, the longer you steep the tea the stronger and more bitter it can taste. Likewise, if you steep the tea for too short a time, you often get a weak taste. Commonly, loose leaf teas can steep a bit longer than a tea bag.
What is the Benefit of Loose Leaf Teas? Often, beginners in tea are uncertain of loose leaf teas as opposed to bagged teas. While bagged teas are quick and easy, the taste difference between the two is noticeable and the reason why so many choose loose leaf over bagged teas. The difference in taste comes from the amount and size of tea leaves used. When you purchase loose leaf tea, larger portions of tea leaves are used, providing a richer, fuller flavor. In tea bags, the tea leaf is often ground much smaller, which creates a less flavorful taste. Bagged teas can also increase the release of tannins, which gives the tea a harsher taste. An easy alternative to the tea bag is to purchase an infuser. To make loose leaf tea you will need either an infuser or tea bags that you can hand fill with your loose tea. Tea infusers come in many varieties with some for a single serving of tea and others for pots. With a tea infuser or two around the house, making loose leaf tea is just as efficient as using a bagged tea.
What are the Health Benefits to Drinking Tea? Tea has been known for its many health benefits for thousands of years and each tea can have different benefits. For example, most green teas are known for boosting your metabolism while black teas have been known to lower blood pressure. If you go even deeper into the tea variations, a green tea such as a peppermint green tea has been known to help calm stomach troubles.
Thankfully, the internet is also littered with helpful visuals on benefits of teas, steeping times and more. Here are a few we hunted down that we found to be beneficial.
The first image is a generalized chart about white tea, green, tea, etc. and their health benefits. The second chart focuses more on specific variations of tea.
This third chart we made as a great little companion for steeping tea:
We hope this tea 101 was helpful for those of you who already enjoy tea as well as those of you who are just becoming interested in the fascinating benefits of tea.
At Hill Country Market we offer a selection of high-quality tea provided by Wisconsin local, Rishi Tea. If you have more questions about tea and where to get started, stop in and visit us and our experienced staff can help answer your questions.
And for the coffee lovers out there, no worries, we will be discussing coffee soon as well.
Thanks for following!

So i had 3 C&P exams on Janurary 18th, back to back. General, audiology, and mental health. Yesterday I went to get copies of each one and my general wasn't available. After a few different phone calls I am being told that the doctor hasn't finished the notes of the exam and it is still being drafted. Mean while my exams for the other 2 have already been recieved. Tell me is this normal?
The guy I spoke to was extremely rude and informed me that I was well aware that this process takes months or years, sure maybe the entire process from start to finish but months to type up the report from the exam? I asked if it may be due to needing more supporting exams and he flat out said no, but otherwise couldn't tell me why it wasn't finished.
My claim was filed within a year of my separation date if that information even matters.

U.S. fast casual chains are looking to move into Japan's market, aiming to not only gain domestic customers, but the masses of foreign visitors who will be visiting the country for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, according to The Japan Times. Some of these restaurants are even partnering with local chains to attract Japanese diners. Japan could be an emerging opportunity for U.S. chains as per-diner spending increased 2.9% in 2014 when the consumption tax increase from a year ago is excluded, according to the Japan Food Service Association.
800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria chose Japan to open its first international location in spring 2016. The restaurant will be located in a shopping center in Shinjuku Station, which is operated by Lumine Co., which signed an exclusive franchise agreement with 800 Degrees after noticing its increasing U.S. presence.
Shake Shack will also expand into Japan, with one location in Tokyo in 2016 and plans for nine more across the country by 2020. The company also has a local partner in Japan, Sazaby League Ltd., which owns restaurants and fashion outlets.
Taco Bell Corp. did have a presence in Japan in the past, but has since left the country due to little interest in Mexican food. It will partner with Asra Port Dining Co. to re-enter Japan serving menu items specific to the country, such as a Shrimp & Avocado Burrito and Taco Rice.
On the other hand, some types of Japanese cuisine are making their way into the U.S. Cool Japan Fund invested in Green Tea World USA Inc., a company that will open green tea cafes in the U.S., reported Reuters. Green tea is growing in popularity in America as not only tea served in Japanese restaurants becomes popular, but bottled green tea is now more prominent. Green Tea World USA plans to open 50 locations in California over the next ten years.

Marketing your own business can be tough. You are too close to it to see…
Six Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Start Blogging for Business
A big part of my normal working day is writing for business.
I could be physically writing like I am now, or speaking to a group about writing. Or I could be reading someone else's blog, or podcast transcript or social media post. So, I guess it's no surprise that one of the first things I do when I land on a new website, is to go looking for their blog.
Some businesses do a fantastic job of creating an engaging, informative space. The posts are consistent and full of valuable content. Unfortunately, though, the vast majority of sites I visit, are getting it very wrong.
Back to basics.
Like most things in business, blogging and creating content for your website needs a solid plan, and without it, you can lose traction very, very easily. And while that can be a complicated task in itself, I'm taking you right back to basics. Back to where I start whenever I'm formulating a new blog plan for a new or existing business.
These are my six big questions to ask yourself before you start blogging for business:
1. Do you need a blog section right now?
This is the first question you should be asking yourself. Yes, in my opinion, all businesses should be creating content of some kind as a means to connect with their clients. But if you are not getting the basics right, you could be doing more harm than good.
So, take a look at your website. If the blog is empty, if it's messy, if the postings are inconsistent or the message is vague, then consider temporarily removing it from public view until you have answered the following questions.
2. How will you maintain consistency?
If you want your content to really work for you, then people need to know what to expect from you, and you do this by making sure that you are consistent.
That means picking a timeframe, for example, weekly and making sure that you have fresh content going live at the same time each week.
3. Who are you writing too?
If you want to really connect with your target audience or your clients, you need to understand who they are. There's no point writing an incredible blog post on a topic that is of absolutely no interest to those you want to read it.
So, think about your client's pain points, their wants and needs, and how you can fill the gaps. Then build an ideal reader profile and write to that person.
4. Are you telling a story?
Let's face it, textbooks are boring, and there is nothing worse than being told what to do. So, make sure your blog is telling a story. Stories are less threatening and most importantly relatable. They are something that is going to have your readers saying, "Me too!"
5. Are your posts visually drawing people in?
It doesn't matter how good your story is if people are not clicking on your link and that comes down to two things:
- Your title – Is it engaging, does it aim to solve a problem?
- Your images – Are you using clean, crisp images dedicated to telling the story of your article?
6. How are people seeing your content?
Finally, how are people going to know to come to your site and read your blog? While post consistency helps greatly with people returning to your site, you need to push your blogs out into the world. Consider things like newsletters, social media sharing and even turning your blog into a podcast as a way to get your message out there.
So, before you start creating content, or even if you have already begun sharing stories, take a step back and consider my six questions to ask yourself before you start blogging for business, to ensure you're putting your best work forward.

Kindness is one of the most valuable traits we can hope for our children to learn. Acts of kindness not only spread happiness but also build self-esteem and reduce stress. Just like other developmental skills kindness is something we can teach and encourage, and of course we must lead by example. Integrating kindness into your daily routine using thoughtful activities will soon see it become second nature for the whole family. Here is a selection of ideas from Trunkaroo HQ to show kiddywinks how much fun kindness can be:

Create a Good Deed Jar for your family and ask your child to record one act of kindness per day. Write the good deed onto a piece of paper, fold it up, and then pop it into the jar. These activities can include anything you have done for other people or that someone else has done for you. Include things like taking care of someone, giving someone a hug, helping with a task, visiting grandparents, or even simply giving a compliment. As the days pass by seeing the jar fill up with kindness will cultivate a feeling of pride for your kids. You can find a great example of a Kindness Jar on Toddler Approved.

Portable distribution methods forum?
DV folks,
I am posting here because I don't know where else to post. In the DV forum, is there a catagory for the different types of end user distribution, for example
iPod, Sony PlayStation, or even cell phones? The reason I ask, is that I'm of the older generation yet I work with lots of Gen X & Y'ers who have video iPod's. From what I understand, the only method of getting video to these units is via Apple iTunes. Apparently if you have an iPod, and you wish to view full length TV shows/movies, you need to pay extra for "converter" software from Apple? Anyhow, some of my younger friends use freeware but this allows viewing of 4 minute clips (or less) only. Do these issues exist for other portable media? Just curious.
TIA, Paul C.

Interesting concept. Normally I won't start a new board without plenty of pre-existing threads, but we could fold this into our DVD & Web Video Delivery forum (simply by re-naming that board). Who here is interested?

hi paul, the apple video ipod spec is for the h.264 and mpeg4 codecs, it doesn't matter what encoder is used to create the file... i did it with the nero h.264 encoder, uploaded the file to my website, and someone out here downloaded it to an ipod, no problems... it was pretty recent, so you should be able to find the thread with a search.
maybe it was on the dvd/web video forum?
make it so, chris! you got my vote, fwiw, lol.

re: distrib methods
You have my vote also!
Dan, yes I became aware that iPod's utilize mpeg4 codecs however apparently Apple has a vested interest in controlling some content and those co-workers of mine that have iPod's seem to believe that they "must" go through the iTunes web space to download content. I can't verify this. Anyhow, I should think that any mpeg4 rendered video would play and all you'd have to do is download it from any web page. Paul

i left the ipod h.264 video clip up on my site, so if you can find the thread, you can have your friends download it themselves.
i believe that apple does have some digital rights management going on with the itunes content, which may be why they got the notion that the only place they could get content is on apple's website... the truth is that ipods should play any non-drm content that is within the video/audio spec, regardless of where you sourced the files.

I'm the one who tested Dan's video, and it did get to my iPod through iTunes. I downloaded it to my hard drive, imported it to my iTunes library, and then synched my iPod.
However, if you want to view an iPod compaitble video outside of the iTunes/iPod combination they'll play in the latest version of QuickTime just fine.

Chris -- if you don't find a place for these kind of topics now, you'll definitely find yourself needing one eventually! :)
It is probably best served by the DVD and Web forum, since much of the content is available via the web.
More importantly, as we all know, is the fact that -- like HD -- this is a technology that networks, freelancers and amateurs will all be using more and more often.
Shooting and encoding for iPods, PSPs (my personal favorite) and other mobile devices is definitely a creature unto itself. Many of the rules of shooting/encoding for web delivery still apply, but the use of proprietary formats makes it a little more difficult. The iPod and the PSP both use the MPEG4 codec, but apply it in individual, proprietary ways. And while you do need iTunes to get data onto an iPod, you only need a USB cable to transfer files to the PSP.
As mentioned before, the free version of Quicktime will play m4v video files encoded for the iPod. I do not even own an iPod, but I have successfully bought and watched music videos and TV shows from Apple's iTunes store.
Personally, as I've mentioned before, the one thing that really excites me about the PSP is the factthat you can download content directly to the device, no PC or cables necessary. It has built-in 802.11b wifi and a built-in web browser. So any site with PSP-formatted video can be accessed directly from the PSP from any wifi hotspot, allowing you to download the videos and watch them (sort of) immediately. I've even encoded some of the videos on my own site to the PSP-spec mp4 format.
So, yes, you have my vote also :) (Even though it's been awhile since I was a regular here!)

I agree. I don't think there's a need for a separate forum. The DVD & Web Video Delivery forum renamed (to include HD-DVD and BluRay eventually) sounds fine.
FYI Sony Vegas 6.0d has the Sony AVC/AAC encoder with templates for PSP format output and the Mainconcept AVC/AAC encoder with a template for iPod output. I think other NLEs will follow (if they haven't already done so).

mobile devices area
And I'll add my 2 cents for including mobile devices to the dvd and web forum. People are going to be talking about this more and more and it will be good to know where to look for those conversations.

There is also freeware, such as PSP Video 9 for the PSP, and Videora for the iPod, that you can use to encode your videos for these players. I believe both of these encoders are made/distributed by the same group.

Thanks for posting the links, Christopher! I was being lazy this afternoon and didn't bother to look them up myself. :)
By the way, I've used PSP Video 9 and liked it fine enough, but typically use Nero for PSP encoding. This is largely because when format shifting my personal DVDs, Nero natively recognizes whole movies and individual episodes (when it some to TV programs). PSP Video 9 does offer an wide variety of encoding options, though.

Sligo County Council and Lissadell Gets Interesting….
I had written a post under the title Sligo County Council Close Lissadell House
read it and come back if you wish……
And I have just received this email…. Sligo County Council ** Lissadell House is a client of Michaels by the way.
Mr. Donegan,
please try and get some of your facts right concerning the situation at Lissadell.
Your website dramatically announces 'Sligo County Council close Lissadell House'.
Untrue. The Council agreed to amend the county development plan to include 'provision' for the "preservation of rights of way".
This action did not change any law, but merely gave rise to due process where all interested parties could have a say.
At that point the current owners closed Lissadell House, and initiated high court proceedings _agains_t Sligo County Council.
I direct you to current reportage in yesterdays and todays Irish Times;
that is if you want facts, as opposed to the somewhat hysterical and rather creepy approach from your odd website.
I ask you to correct your website's headline to: 'Lissadell owners close their own holiday home despite Councils calls for mediation and compromise'.
from Michael Wann
* I have not replied to this email by the way.
UPDATE 21st january '10
**Michael has been in touch again… and hence the ammendment to the the above notation. It is in fact noted on his website michaelwann[dot]com that in fact his art is in Sligo and Lissadell House rather than with Sligo County Council.
UPDATE 23nd January 2010
Michael I know you will be reading this….. please stop emailing me.

I rarely comment on international affairs as the issues are too complex, but in this case there are general points to be made. The break-up of the Soviet Empire was a humiliation for the Russians, as many of the countries that became independent had been part of the Tsarist empire for centuries. Others, including the Baltic republics, had enjoyed just a brief period of independence from 1918 to 1938. All of these ex-Soviet countries have ended up with significant Russian minorities. It is also a fact that post-Communist Russia is not turning out to be a very nice country, though that should have been expected. A further complication is that Western Europe is becoming dependent on Russia for its energy supplies. All of which creates problems all-round, and especially for the ex-Soviets.
If I was a politician in any of these countries I would want to make sure that my Russians would not become a focus of discontent. If there were any areas with significant concentrations of Russians, I would organise plebiscites with a view to redrawing national boundaries, even if it meant having enclaves of Russian territory and the loss of mineral rights, pipelines and other sources of what are, in effect, rental income. It just is not worth trying to hang on to territories where the inhabitants want to be independent or part of another country.
Where the Russians are dispersed, matters are more complicated. The first priority here must be to make sure that economic opportunities are available to all, which means that land value taxation must be a key policy. The other issue relates to citizenship and other rights. As I understand it, Russians in Estonia were, and possibly still are, required to take a language test and satisfy other requirements if they are to obtain citizenship, which thereby makes them EU citizens. At the same time, Russians in general seem not to have shared in the prosperity of the country, which is far from being a welfare state, and the same applies to Latvia. A possible way round the problem would be to give Russian residents of the Baltic states the usual rights of EU citizens, to work in any EU country, which I am not sure is the situation at present. Apart from considerations of natural justice, this would give these Russians a vested interest in things remaining as they are and possibly reduce their numbers. This policy has prevented the Israeli Arabs from becoming a source of unrest for the past sixty years – despite the trouble all around, the Israeli Arabs are well aware that they enjoy greater freedom, security and prosperity than Arabs anywhere else in the Middle East and that is it not in their interest to rock the boat.
Finally, there are the military implications of all this. Was it a good idea for the Baltic republics and the former Warsaw Pact countries to join NATO? The Russians may be the bad guys but it is not surprising that they now feel encircled. What was the point, other than to treat Russia as a potential enemy? Now it is on the way to becoming an actual enemy. And if Russia sent its army into Estonia, what precisely would the NATO response be? Would anyone risk a nuclear confrontation? And what of Sweden, which has almost dismantled its defences to save money? The possibility of joining NATO is now being discussed, a notion which goes against a tradition of over 200 years of neutrality. Looking further back into history, however, Sweden once projected its power over the entire Baltic and included in its territory Finland, Estonia and parts of what are now Russia, including the site occupied by St Petersburg; most was lost to Russia at the beginning of the eighteenth century, Finland at the beginning of the nineteenth, and there was a narrowly avoided war with Russia in the 1850s. The stupid thing about all this renewed confrontation with Russia is that if there is any real enemy; the threat, surely, is a common one against both Russia and all the western countries? And boxing the Russians in by encircling them with threatening alliances just helps to feed their paranoia and makes it more difficult for a reasonable leadership to emerge.

Tahoe South Press Releases
Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority Launches Brand Video
Nov. 11, 2016 (South Lake Tahoe, Calif./Nev.) – Who or what is Tahoe South? Tahoe South is as much a concept as a location. The Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority's brand embodies an active, quirky, fun, young at heart lifestyle, and the "Tahoe South" logo and campaign includes elements that evoke the connection between the consumer and South Shore to inspire overnight visits. A video about the brand launched at the Tahoe Chamber Blue Ribbon Awards, Nov. 10.
The Tahoe South brand is a combination of all the attractions, amenities, vibe and energy available in the South Lake Tahoe and Stateline areas. It's all inclusive from Zephyr Cove to Meyers and out to Emerald Bay.

"We encourage our partners, stakeholders and community members to utilize the video as a resource, provide to staff/employees, and to share across social media channels."
The LTVA contracted with local videographer, Anthony Cupaiuolo of First Tracks Productions, to produce the segment and capture the essence and inimitability of the bi-state area that attracts millions of guests each year. Spanning from Meyers to Zephyr Cove, the video features energetic enthusiasm from key stakeholders, local business owners, families and Olympians Jamie Anderson and Hannah Teter as they share personal insights on the magnetism of the region. The Tahoe South brand is consumer oriented to leverage the LTVA's advertising campaign to inspire target audiences to make an immediate and memorable connection that leads to action.
The LTVA's mission is to market the South Shore of Lake Tahoe as a unique, world-class, year-round destination to the regional, national and international marketplace, and to favorably impact the South Shore economy through overnight stays and tourism spending. Through a strategic marketing plan LTVA utilizes advertising, online, special events, public relations, social media, trade shows, partnerships and visitor centers to position the destination as one that combines scenic beauty with myriad of outdoor recreation, upscale resort amenities, dining, headliner entertainment, nightlife and gaming.

Right now I have a very large inbox archived with Mailstore Home Edition. I would like to move from using Mailstore as it appears that there is a limit of the amount of emails that I can store. Yes it is for personal use as I have several email addresses over the years.
The other day I picked up a copy of Postbox and I'm looking at moving everything to that. My only question is – can the mbox format handle very large mailboxes? What the max size can mbox handle?
Thank-you :)

I was so pleased to tell Lee Hambro my discovery that you should play the first note after a relatively long note just a touch softer. Otherwise it makes a "bump" that disturbs the line.
It was the kind of thing I knew Lee would relish; and he did. But he added that he'd been the one to discover it, and I must have learned it from him.
We never did figure out the priority; luckily, it doesn't matter. This subtlety helps players at all levels. I always mention Leonid when I teach it, and think of him when I use it—which is all the time.
A "relatively long note" might be a dotted quarter appearing in a string of 8ths, a half-note in a string of quarters— or for that matter an 8th in a string of 16ths. And mind you, "a touch softer" applies only to the very first note after the relatively long one!

I'd say it looks pretty good so far
This model is getting better and better each day. I love it!
I can point out the mapping for the foot steps if you'd like to try and dirty them up.
I could also mark out the grab irons if need to be? That one is a little tricky though.

Perry Duke Maxwell was a man that saw, lived and made history in the first half of the twentieth century. But he is unknown to the average citizen. He grew up and moved to Oklahoma when it became a state and lived through both the state's greatest and worst years, from the oil boom to the dust bowl. He was a man that suffered through personal hardship after personal hardship beginning with the death of his love in the prime of their lives. He dealt with poor health his entire life from tuberculosis to cancer, which eventually took his life. But he turned every tragedy into a positive and excelled in a career where he became one of the greatest golf course architects in history.
The Midwest Associate explores his life and his work in the arena of golf course design with detail looks at his supreme efforts, including his own course at Dornick Hills in Ardmore, Oklahoma. This is the first published work that looks at Maxwell's career as a whole and examines his inspirations, his philosophy and his technique of laying out golf courses. Maxwell often is overlooked when the masters of golf course architecture are listed, this book provides a solid argument to including him in any pantheon of this profession.

This doesn't make much sense to me. Here's why:Saintmac99 wrote:Although I think DF could and would rock at making minis, I think that their focus on terrain is where its at. I mean, why take on all the trouble of sculpting unique minis, casting, painting, packaging....not worth the cost don't you think? Personally, I would rather they focus on creating new accessories.
Yes, DF is mainly in the business of selling terrain. However, that terrain needs to be populated with stuff. Who better to provide that other stuff than DF? Stuff can not only be accessories but also denizens that fit perfectly with that terrain. I also know (from personal experience) that DF gets other artists who are skilled in their particular fields to create those pieces, whether it be miniatures (Sandra Garrity is one of the artists), Elye Alexander from Griffin Tamer Studios, Lady Sabelle for accessories, or myself for the LED pieces. This allows Stefan to focus on what he knows best - designing terrain.
There's another important factor, now, especially with the Kickstarters - many new people have been introduced to DF terrain. A lot of those people are in the same boat as I was in KS1; I now had all this terrain, but really nothing to populate it with so I began searching everywhere else for pieces to poputate my terrain with. If DF had offered a greater selection of dwarvenite pieces to do that with then I would have mainly kept my purchasing with DF. This also would have the added benefit of keeping my shipping costs down, too.
This whole idea of creating more accessories and miniatures is something I've brought up before in the forums so I'm 100% behind their decision to do it.
One other thing that's very exciting for the future is that DF really understands that there are people like me who are modifying pieces and they wholly embrace that. In KS3 they have taken it to the next level by recruiting active members like myself, Elye and Lady Sabelle to help expand their offerings. That's almost unheard of in any industry and I very much think people need to understand how much of a paradigm shift that is.

The Chin Gregory Story
Chin Gregory started his adult life as a professional rugby player, signing for London Wasps in his senior year of high school. A string of unfortunate injuries meant he had to cut his professional career short less than 5 years later.
Using connections from his sporting career, Chin started a concierge agency named TKG Luxury. TKG Luxury provided fortune 500 companies and HNW individuals with global "money can't buy" experiences. Experiences such as film premieres, award shows and exclusive events.
After the recession decimated the concierge industry, Chin made the transition to digital marketing. He began as a consultant working with luxury brands such as Ferrari and MGM Resorts, before launching TKG Media and growing the company to 7 figure revenues in just over 2 years.
In 2017 Chin founded The CGM Group. The CGM Group is a brand-focused performance marketing agency specializing in revenue growth for D2C eCommerce brands.

Would you believe… The Cone of Silence
Remote web demonstrations are marvels of modern technology: inexpensive, powerful and ubiquitous, but if you're not careful they can be your worst nightmare.
If you have never seen the TV series "Get Smart" you're in for a treat. Watch the clip below. It perfectly captures the dark and funny side of communicating with technology (the fun starts about 23 seconds in):
I think the "Cone of Silence" gives you a pretty good idea of the kinds of things that can go awry with remote web demos. Lets take a look at common web-based demonstration problems that arise and how to deal with them.
Is everyone on the bus?
Getting everyone logged in can be a big hassle. Most web conference systems are pretty good, but they all have quirks.
Make it a point to provide clear instructions and encourage everyone to log in a few minutes early.
As the host, jump on the line at least 5 minutes before the call. Finally have a back channel (phone number and or email) for those having problems. Publish an email address and phone number for anyone to use if they have issues signing in.
Audio Issues
Audio problems are very common. To avoid most issues, try these tips:
- Use a land line when possible (cell reception is still not perfect)
- If you must use a speakerphone, verify the quality
- Try a headset
- Don't use the Internet Voice (VOIP) option unless you have tested it with all attendees
- Explain to all how to mute and unmute their line
Can you see what I see?
Be sure that all attendees can see the screen. A sales person at the prospects site is a great way to get feedback. You may also want to try logging in from a second system at your desk so that you can see exactly what the audience is seeing.
Show everything that's pertinent to the demo
Showing your software is a given for most demos, but what about hardware. If you are using an instrument, tool or some other piece of physical gear–show it. You can often do this with a web cam. If you don't have a web cam, take a picture so that you can reference it as you explain what's happening.
Be Exciting Be "E" Exciting
OK, maybe I watched one too many cheer-leading comedies! The point is that you need to keep the audience engaged. Ask questions, use polls if the software supports it. If you feel yourself prattling on and on, check in and make sure the group is still with you.
If you do remote demos as part of your job, you may want to check out our Demo Training Programs and Workshops.
Have other issues with web demos, share it with us in the comments section.

The perfect addition to any meal, or as an ingredient in Thanksgiving stuffing.
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
6 TBS butter, softened
1 1/3 cup milk (we used 1%)
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup rice flour (can be made with white or brown rice flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp unrefined sea salt
Preheat oven to 400 F.
In a large glass bowl, beat eggs and butter together, add milk and stir to combine. In a separate glass bowl, mix dry ingredients together and then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour into a buttered 8×8 glass baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown and a knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cornbread.

Overview of the facilities, organisations and support available for people with mobility, sight or hearing impairments in Spain...
Information for people with disabilities and application forms for the Disabled Person's Card are available from the local Town Hall (ayuntamiento).
Note: You must be a Spanish resident to qualify for the card.
Most larger towns have suppliers of mobility aids and other equipment for the disabled, which can be bought or rented: wheelchairs (silla de ruedas), mini-lifts, mobility scooters, walkers and general orthopaedic equipment. Ask at an English-speaking pharmacy or look in the Páginas Amarillas (Spanish yellow pages) under the heading "discapacitado" or "minusválido".
Town Halls do make sure that most beaches have areas adapted for the disabled. Some beaches are equipped with wheelchair accessible board walks and toilets.
Spanish Associations for the Disabled and Mobility Reduced
- Organización Nacional de Discapacitados (National Organisation for the Disabled)
- APSA: Asociaciones de Discapacitados (Disabled Association)
- COCEMFE: Association for the disabled for their integration in the work place
- ONCE Spanish organisation for the blind (website in English)
- CERMI - Spanish Committee of Representatives of Persons with Disabilities. Umbrella organisation representing the interests of people with disabilities in Spain
Spanish International Airports
The European Parliament passed a regulation which will facilitate air flights for people with reduced mobility, aimed to be put into practice in 2008. Under EU regulations people with reduced mobility are entitled to free, special assistance when needed in airplanes, airports, baggage check in and with flight connections.
Responsibility has been passed to the airports to accommodate the needs of the disabled traveller. Air companies will still be at liberty to provide services to people with reduced mobility.
Vehicles adapted with ramps are available from local companies for transport to and from international airports.
nidirect provides further information about airport and airline services for people with disabilities within the EU.
Cars parked in disabled spaces must display the disabled sticker or blue badge in the window. A Spanish resident may request a disabled sticker and information on applying for a blue badge from their local Town Hall.
The blue badge is a standardised European Community disabled person's parking permit, which provides parking entitlements to badge holders in all complying European countries: a blue badge from one country is valid in another. A person coming to Spain from another EU country can apply in their home country for this universal badge, which allows the use of reserved parking under the following regulations:
- Disabled spaces in car parks reserved for disabled people are marked with a wheelchair symbol
- Do not park if the space is marked with a vehicle registration number
- Some car parks allow vehicles displaying a disabled parking sign to park free of charge
- There are no concessions for disabled drivers on roadside parking
Drivers with a blue badge from another European country may display this Spanish translation beside a badge written in another language (text from the UK Automobile Association):
Tarjeta de aparcamiento para minusválidos.
La persona que muestra esta
tarjeta de aparcamiento es un
visitante minusválido procedente de
otro pais europeo, y tiene derecho a
los mismos privilegios de
aparcamiento que un minusválido
residente en su pais.
Modelo de la Comunidad Europea

You can also compete in annual club competitions. You'll be contacted to see if you want to take part in these. Two of these are just for juniors...
Yvette Baker - This is a fun event, where you can run any course you're happy to run, and score points for your club.

There are also Squad Tours to Sweden every two years, which is really good fun, and great practice in the tricky terrain! More info can be found on the YHJS website.

Juniors from all the squads can get selected to go on one of JROS's summer tours - starting when you are an M/W14, and that continues right up to M/W20, taking you to excellent training areas in Scotland and Sweden.
Orienteering in your summer holiday might not sound too fun... but it really is - the friends you'll make, and the fun you'll have make it all worthwhile... plus you'll really improve your orienteering! Find out more about summer tours on the JROS website
There are quite a few big competitions in the year, some of which are selections for things like the squads and national teams. These events also have a great atmosphere, so are well worth attending! Two of these events are...

While more businesses of all shapes and sized are increasing their spend on digital advertising, it's easy to forget that traditional offline advertising still offers a vibrant avenue to get your message to the masses.
Here are some low cost offline advertising tips to help get your small business get well and truly noticed:
- Use all outgoing documents as promotion tools – digital and physical. Your business card shouldn't be the only handout your customers receive that advertises your product/service. Think of all your outgoing documents – from invoices to emails, and squeeze your business details, promotions and signature blurb in there. It costs nothing, and keeps your brand firmly in the minds of your clients.
- The Yellow Pages. This seasoned favourite still has a huge following, especially with a certain age segment. Yes, times have changed and you need to be visible online – but that shouldn't come at a cost of closing your door to an old school market segment that still searches for products and services the old fashioned way.
- Direct mail/newspaper advertising. Over the years, offline advertising has not seen rampant inflation in the way that popular online advertising such as Adwords has. Additionally, direct mail can be a more personalized way of delivering your small business message which means it will be received far more favourably.
- Magazine Advertising. If your product targets a specific niche, placing adverts in print publications that cater to that niche can be a powerful way of reaching the exact group of people you want.
- Vehicle advertising. Pitching your business details on your car or van can reach a lot of people as you twist and turn your way through the city streets – and is completely free.
- Radio and TV ads. While many TV ad spots might well be out of the marketing grasp of most small businesses, it's possible to get perfectly affordable local radio advertising – this tactic is useful especially if your product is geo-targeted.
- Cross promote your business with other local business owners. Approach several suitable businesses and offer to promote their products and ask they do the same for you. There are numerous possible cross promotion tactics and strategies that can work well for mutual benefit – offer some shop space to put ads/signs/posters up and dish out mutually exclusive discounts. One of the best benefits of cross promotion is that it's completely free for both business owners.
- Place ads on bus and train stops. According to the Transport For London's own website, by 2016 the London Underground network is likely to ferry about 3.4 million people everyday. It's possible to place advertisements in carriages, stations and even other public transport hotspots such as bus stations.
- Get involved with trade shows. Your industry is likely to hold trade shows on a regular basis. These can be a splendid way to network with other business owners, and to get your name and your business out there.
- Provide a free educational seminar or workshop. While this may not work for all types of business, it can be a great source of targeted leads for some. The idea is to provide enough high quality information to make the seminar worthwhile attending, while also pitching a big ticket core product/service at the end that is of high interest to the attendee.
