Sign of the times?Wednesday, August 30th, 2006
There you are, schlepping along, just minding your own business, when you find yourself walking behind some pinstriped largedude waffling into his mobile phone. 'Yadda yadda yadda.' Thinks: hmm that voice sounds strangely familiar. 'Yadda yadda yadda the Prime Minister yadda'. Thinks: I recognise those ears. 'Yadda yadda leadership issues'. Thinks: Well bugger me with a rolled up copy of London Lite – if it isn't former Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, Charles [ unfit for purpose ] Clarke MP – live from Norwich.
The following thoughts have since entered the brain of drD:
1. Aren't former Her Majesty's Secretaries of State for the Home Department meant to travel everywhere with a posse of fully armed Ross Kempalikes? – I distinctly recall a sense of heightened international
panic security a short time ago. Surely such a high profile ex minister of state needs more protection from the lurking evil ones [ let alone eavesdropping bloggers ] than a copy of The Guardian and a dodgy briefcase?
2. Is this is plot to endanger the personal wellbeing of Mr Clarke? We should be told.
3. If the former Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department is openly walking through London streets, openly discussing with all n sundry 'Leadership Issues' – what does this say about the state of Her Maj's government? What next – Gordon goes on the record in the checkout queue at Sainsburys?
4. This is the second former Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department that I have run into on a London street, the first being the oleaginous Leon Brittan hanging around outside Dixons in Victoria. Do they get let out for the day to go walkabout I wonder?
5. Could this little article he wrote recently be in any way at odds with what he was chatting about today?

After my horrible experience with Dior Diorshow mascara I thought no more wasting money on high-end mascaras. Since the Diorshow needed quick replacement I grabbed the new mascara by Maybelline, namely the well acclaimed Rocket Volum Express mascara in Blackest Black.
I bought it against myself cause I really don't like rubber applicators and huge rubber applicators even more. I just needed to see for myself what the whole hype was about.
And I'm glad I did.
I love this mascara.
The greatest recommendation is that my hubby thought I was wearing falsies, though I hardly ever do. The difference must have been so stunning that even my layman noticed it!
I still do have reservations about the applicator as it feels sort of spiky when it touches my lids but contrary to my expectations it's not too big for my small eyes.
The formula is clump-free and you can add as many coats as you wish without affecting its performance, though I suggest building up while the mascara is still dry.
In spite of the fact that there's no mention of the mascara being waterproof it acts like one and unfortunately it's not easy to remove.
I will definitely repurchase, especially that it cost about $7.
Disclaimer: I bought the product myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. I am not paid to do this review and everything I said here is my genuine opinion.

This is another of the designs I took to the recent art show:
"Eye Flower"
The cabochon used in this piece is very unique: it's a glass fish eye. I was infatuated with the beaded design work of Laura McCabe at the time when I designed it. Laura is a fantastically talented lady who uses unusual and sometimes unsettling materials in her designs. She is particularly well known for her use of doll's eyes in her jewelry and beaded sculpture. I have to admit that using human-looking doll eyes would be a bit much for me to stomach, but I do like the effect of various animal eyes, which I'm not as bothered by.

Questions, comments and concerns about MP3-Boss: MP3 Database and Manager
You are not logged in.
I've only had a dozen or so requests to continue MP3-Boss development, so I haven't put much effort into the next version once it was clear that developer support was fading from newer versions of Microsoft Access. Maybe Access 2019 (?) will be better ... but in the meantime I'm thinking about alternatives (which means starting over from scratch).
So, anyone that wants a registration code can get one for free while I figure out what is next.
First Name: Free
Last Name: MP3Boss
Registration Code: 6BBDD02C4CB23D81AAD29EC4
<Sorry - no support for free codes!>
If you are running under Windows 10, just select the MP3-Boss icon on the Desktop, and set for "Run as Administrator" and Windows 7 compatibility, and it seems to run fine.
Thanks for this John.....I am now 6 or more versions of computers down the road where I have to reinstall my library and try set up MP3 Boss functionality. That meant searching back for my install code. I know it is somewhere. I have also leaned that Winamp is in the past, although still available in older versions. Will MP3 boss work with other players on Win10?
I hope you find a way and impetus to continue development. Being 'OCD" as I am, I want clean, consistent, precise MP3 tags, titles and names throughout my library. Also, I want the easy to operate rating system so I don't have to waste a lot of time before playing just my 'excellent' tracks, or creating a playlist of them to put on my MP3 player.
But that brings up a sore subject....I don't really have a way now to operate my MP3 players. I may have to resurrect an old Windows XP machine to function only as my 'Music Library" where I can manage my MP3 tracks. I wonder what others have, beyond just trashing all those MP3 players?
I'm pretty sure that eventually I will get back to this. Just too many other things to do right now!
I'm a bit stuck on what development platform to use - Microsoft seems barely interested in Access (esp. for developers). If they hadn't bailed on Access, I'm sure you'd be running MP3-Boss 2018 now.
MySQL and other database systems look interesting ... but that are also a bunch of NoSQL/NewSQL and similar variants.
I have a project at work looking at next-generation databases, so hopefully something will come out of that to help me decide on next steps.
I've tried MusicBrainz Picard to categorize songs, but find that it is only 'OK' in terms of identification (and tends to crash a lot). PLEX seems to do a better job of identification ... but it doesn't write to ID3/ID3v2.
Unfortunately, MP3-Boss crashes for me when scanning all songs on a 20TB NAS server. Usually this means an invalid tag ... but I haven't looked into it yet. No problem if scanning specific directories, even with hundreds/thousands of songs.
MusicIP no longer works because the ID server was closed down. MP3-Boss did an awfully nice job of song ID - by combining MusicIP with additional web & local database information. I miss it!
So - you can turn off MusicIP lookup in Configuration. NetArtistLookup and ArtistSmartSearch should still work (although MusicIP often was the source of enough identifying information so those additional searches came into play).
I want to have a program that allows me to ID songs, fixup all the tags, rate the songs, and provide checksums so I know if there are file problems. Quickly generating song-lists was also nice. While online services allow auto-generation of song-lists, they don't use *your* songs...
Surprisingly, I also like the Album art now - I play the songs with Plex over Amazon FireTV (with attached stereo). Nice having the album covers pop up, and with 20TB of space, I haven't worried (yet?) about space.
"I don't really have a way now to operate my MP3 players."
Do you mean because you can't run WinAmp? WinAmp works for me on Win10.
I was really talking about my portable MP3 players (Creative Zen, etc). I got Winamp running, also tried Mediamonkey, and Windows Media Player. Each work a little differently, but now I have a way to add and erase files on my players, by genre, artist etc.
I put other comment at http://web.newsguy.com/mccaffjt/punbb/v … hp?id=3170 to get away from hijacking this tread .

Axami, a European made product of stunning designs and style. Axami Lingerie are based in Poland, a country which has a long history in the manufacture of quality lingerie. Axami maintain the tradition by making all their garments in the EU using quality fabric also sourced in the EU and using modern techniques are applied to ensure a high standard of control being is enforced throughout the whole manufacturing process.
Many of the value brands in sexy lingerie cut back on presentation by supplying their garments in cellophane wrappers. Axami present their garments in smart boxes with logo printed tissue wrapping inside. This may seem like a small issue but it is a bonus when it comes to gift wrapping. A rigid box is so much easier to gift wrap!
Real support in demi and open cup bras
This is where Axami really come into their own when compared to the value brands. The value brands often offer bra style products but in fact make them in size ranges described as small, medium or large and back this up with "small should fit A/B cup - Medium should fit B/C cup" etc. Inevitably this means that for most women, this vague sizing will not work very well. Unlike any brand in their price range, Axami sexy bras are real bras, with the correct sizing. So if you are a 30D or a 34E and you want an open quarter cup bra, then you can have one from Axami. Axami Lingerie was formed by and is run by a woman and this may the reason why their sexy bras are designed to work for comfort, support as well as glamour.
The 'Eclissi De Luna' Collection
Ennia Fashion Lingerie are very pleased to be able to bring the latest Collections from Axami to our website, the range has established itself as a consistently a top selling Brand of products of products across all Collection. The 'Eclissi Di Luna', collection offer a very Sexy range of quality European made Lingerie. As the names of individual designs suggests, the 'Eclissi Di Luna' collection is astronomical in theme, but certainly not in price.

Students from University Centre Grimsby's BA (Hons) Creative and Interactive Design, BA (Hons) Commercial Photography and BA (Hons) Special Effects Make-up Design for TV, Film and Theatre programmes have joined forces for their Degree Show Exhibition 'Creative Collective' held at the University Centre Grimsby and Grimsby School of Art.
The event was sponsored by Deepdale Garden Centre, Pipers Crisps Co and Intervino with students inviting guests to view their creative work they have produced during their three year programmes. Sarah Foster, 29, is nearing completion of the BA (Hons) Creative and Interactive Design and hopes to open a shop selling a whole range of products she has designed herself. Sarah said:
"I'm nervous but relieved to be exhibiting. It's a part of who we are we're displaying up on the walls and people are judging us on the work that we've done. I illustrate all kinds of animals but to keep in the academic side of my work I have stuck with one theme, which is obviously bears. I started off by creating greeting cards from illustrations I'd made using fine liners.
"As a Designer I needed to create a variety of products, I then used my illustrations to decorate different products. I hope to be able to open my own shop selling products, with lots of different animals all illustrated in the same style. It's taken four years of experimentation and finding the right pen. I chose bears because dogs, cats and bears are the most best-selling greeting cards across the UK and America, because cats and dogs are tailored to a specific audience, I chose bears and then put pants and hats on them to make them a bit unusual."
Jodie Strachan, has seen success throughout her time studying for BA (Hons) Special Effects Make-up Design for TV, Film & Theatre. Last year Jodie was awarded 1st place in the United Makeup Artist Expo's Film and TV Makeup Competition in London. 21-year-old Jodie, a former pupil from Whitgift School, now John Whitgift Academy, trained for a National Diploma in Art & Design, specialising in Fine Art, at the Grimsby Institute.
Jodie said: "The course and staff have just been amazing. When I was at school I went to an exhibition organised by the Institute at Grimsby Auditorium called WAX. One of the tutors did a demonstration and, although I was only 15, I knew straight away that it was what I wanted to do.
"It's quite an emotional experience exhibiting like this. When we first started our tutor told us to look at the work the final year students were doing to see how we would grow during the course. Now it's our turn and it feels a bit surreal to think that people are coming in to view our work.
"During the second year we got to make a creature maquette and I grew a massive passion for it. I just wanted to sculpt and research different artists, I'm really inspired by Jordu Schell, his paintwork is amazing. Once you're learnt the foundation of building the creatures you can go off and make them. I want to be a Creature Designer & Sculptor or Prosthetics Sculptor.

Breyer Visits the National Museum of the American Indian
3/9/12 - Viewed New Exhibit Called "A Song for the Horse Nation"
|Crow War Pony - 1
Fine Art Photography by Brady Willette; Pony painting by Kennard Real Bird (Crow).
Collection of the National Museum of the American Indian
While in town for the Washington International Horse Show, Breyer staffers had the incredible opportunity to view the exhibit A Song for the Horse Nation at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. We were treated to a guided tour by museum curator Emil Her Many Horses.
This comprehensive exhibit, which opened late October, tells the story of how horses helped shape the lives and history of the Native American people. Featuring beautiful works of art, songs, personal accounts, photographs and historical objects, this exhibit surrounds the viewer in the art and culture of the American Indian, and shows the many ways horses had an impact on their lives.
The horse has played a very strong role in the history of the Native American people. On horseback, hunting and the defending of territories - as well as waging war - became easier. Horses aided in travel and commerce, and even had important roles in ceremonies. The Native people took a great pride in their horses, which is evident in their intricate story telling - both by word and by art. Through this broad exhibit, one can plainly see the incredible influence horses had on the culture of the people. Not only did horses change the way American Indians lived, they also left their mark on the beautiful works of art and textiles produced during this time.

Breyer staff also had the opportunity to meet Kennard Real Bird, of the Crow Nation. Real Bird is the breeder of Cool Whip, the exhibit's poster horse, and he also painted the beautiful markings seen on the horse. He kindly shared with us personal stories relating to his Native American culture and philosophy on horses. We also had the opportunity to meet Cool Whip's current owner Ron Bergee, who is continuing to promote the exhibit with his horse. Not only is Cool Whip a stunning photo subject, he and Ron are currently participating in ranch sorting and cutting!
Breyer wishes to extend a special thank you to Emil Her Many Horses as well as Assistant Director for Museum Development Angela Papa Leipold, and Public Affairs Officer Leonda Levchuk for the personal tour, as well as for the wealth of information they provided!
If you will be visiting Washington, D.C. this exhibit is a must-see! A Song for the Horse Nation is on view at the National Museum of the American Indian now through January 7, 2013.

I think we can appreciate all the different people that needed and used the horse in days gone by.I am glad of the now though as our relationship is more partnership and respect instead of just needing it for something...maybe.

Breyerfest Theme
You know it could be an breyerfest theme for an later breyerfest. It could be an "the old west" theme. Maybe have some people dressed up in indain costumes on some of the native horses. Even put some people dressed up in soldier costumes riding army horses. Since at this time horse were used like this during that time. It is just an idea for an future breyerfest.

Good Timing!
I was just searching the internet for information on traditional Native American warpaint, because I am planning to do a repaint on a Silver model I picked up recently - so I was actually looking for a good way to paint a white horse! The link to this article was the perfect thing to find in my inbox this morning. Why am I not surprised? Thanks!

Easy BREYER Model.....
This is an easy transition model.....used the"Show Jumping WB" MOLD with the unbraided mane as a palomino Medicine Hat type Pinto with the tribal/ coup markings.....
And how about considering a "Native American " theme for an upcoming BREYERFEST???? Colorful, appropriate and awesome!!
Hannah C Says:
03/09/2012 at 4:25 pm
To think at that time people trained horses to ride as today. Also the horses speed helped the indains win some wars. Also the indains took the horses from the Spain when the Spain came to america. The horse was a big help to the indains.

Freezing is the best known means of food preservation. Commercial quick freezing processes preserve the nutritional value, freshness, flavor and color of foods.
Fresher than "fresh"
All available experimental data shows that frozen products often contain more nutrients than fresh foods. That's because produce destined for commercial freezing is harvested at the height of ripeness and nutritive value. It is taken directly to nearby freezing plants for immediate processing which preserves the nutrient content. Fresh fruits and vegetables from the market are often gathered in an immature state and allowed to ripen "off the vine." Because they frequently are transported long distances and stored before they even go on sale in the supermarket, they have lost vitamins by the time they are purchased. Nutrient depletion even continues while produce is stored in the refrigerator. Unless vegetables and fruits are truly "garden fresh," frozens are a better buy nutritionally.
Freezing preserves nutrients
Scientists at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation analyzed 51 different frozen foods regularly found in grocery stores and supermarkets. Their research proved that foods retain their nutritional value during freezing. Substantial and highly beneficial amounts of no less than 21 essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients were found in these products.
Freezing, per se, does not injure vitamins. Air exposure is much more destructive, particularly to volatile nutrients such as vitamin C and thiamine. For example, a four-ounce serving of frozen Florida orange juice contains nearly the whole amount of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin C as well as folic acid, thiamine, potassium and other essential nutrients.
Frozen dinners
According to studies, the standard 11-ounce frozen chicken dinner supplies from 42.58 percent to 54.22 percent of the minimum average daily requirement of protein for an adult. The average frozen chicken dinner provides more than 100 percent of the RDA of vitamin A and contains substantial amounts of thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin C, niacin, iron and calcium. It contains only 1/35th as much cholesterol as a single egg.
The average 11-ounce frozen beef dinner provides the following amounts of U.S. RDA of nutrients for an adult: nearly 50 percent of protein, 25 percent of phosphorus, 60 percent of iron, 14 percent of vitamin A, 25 percent of thiamine, 30 percent of riboflavin and 95 percent of niacin.
Frozen foods must be stored at 0°F. or lower to retain vitamins and other nutrients. Kept at 0°F. storage for six months, peas will retain approximately 90 percent of their original vitamin C.
Proper cooking
Proper cooking of frozen vegetables is essential to preserving their nutritional value, as well as their bright color and crisp texture. Careless cooking, especially in large amounts of water, cause loss of many water-soluble nutrients such as vitamins. Also, the shorter the cooking time, the greater the nutrient retention. Whether steamed, stir-fried or boiled, frozen vegetables should be cooked just tender-crisp. If they are boiled, use only a small amount of water. Follow package directions closely and test vegetables to see if they are done for best results.
A balanced diet
Because no single food contains all the necessary nutrients in sufficient amounts, variety in your menu is essential to a healthy well balanced diet. A wide range of seasonless fruits, juices, vegetables, breads and potato products, seafood, meats, snacks and desserts are available from the freezer case to help the homemaker plan nutritionally balanced meals everyday.

Blooper: Century
When we record segments for the show, we tend to work off notes. Sometimes they're scant, other times they're thorough, but in all cases the notes will completely throw us off if they're wrong. For the Episode 25 segment on The Red Violin, I apparently jotted down "17th century" and then changed it to the more specific "1681," but there was an error in my correction, and this is what I said before correcting myself in a second take.

SEC coaches weigh in on Rivalry Week in hilarious fashion
SEC basketball coaches were given a grand task in the spirit of Rivalry Week by SEC Network: say one nice thing about their rivals.
That apparently was a little bit out of their comfort range, as most of the men's and women's coaches were left looking largely dumfounded.
However, those that were able to muster up a response were spot on in their — perhaps unintentional — comedy.
"No," South Carolina coach Dawn Staley responded.
"Uhh," pondered Missouri's Kim Anderson.
"Say one nice thing about my rival?" Alabama coach Avery Johnson asked … twice for that matter.
"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything," uttered UGA's Mark Fox.
"If it's your rival, you're supposed to say something nice?" asked Auburn's Terri Williams-Flournoy.
"Mark Fox makes me look good-looking sometimes," South Carolina coach Frank Martin jabbed.
The Gamecocks' coach seemingly had a step above his counterparts before Kentucky coach John Calipari delivered the walk-off dagger.
"Who's our rival?" Cal said as the video came to a close.
Well, Coach Cal, this week Kentucky hosts Alabama; LSU takes on Arkansas; Vanderbilt and Florida do battle; and Ole Miss hosts Missouri on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Auburn and UGA go at it; Mississippi State travels to Texas A&M; and South Carolina hosts Tennessee. On Saturday, a large slate delivers Ole Miss at UGA; South Carolina at Mississippi State; Kentucky at Vandy; Texas A&M at Missouri; Auburn at Alabama; Arkansas at Tennessee; and Florida at LSU.
In the women's game, South Carolina heads to Alabama on Monday night. On Thursday, Arkansas takes on UGA; Missouri plays Kentucky; Texas A&M travels to Auburn; Mississippi State takes on Vanderbilt; Alabama hosts Tennessee; Florida heads to LSU; and South Carolina squares off with Ole Miss.

Building an advisory practice is challenging; according to Cerulli Associates, there are more than 300,000 client-facing advisors chasing the 15.4 million households that control 87% of the wealth.
Take a moment and do the math; there just arent that many high-quality prospective clients available in the marketplaceand most of them have at least one advisor.
Because of this, the successful advisor needs to execute more creative methods for generating new clients. My experience with advisors over the past two decades has confirmed that one of the most efficient ways of doing this is to educate CPAs and attorneyswho already have earned their clients trustabout the unique ways you can solve an investors problems.
Of course, your competition goes to the same workshops and reads the same articles you do. Plus, over the years investors have become more sophisticated, and so has your competition. As a result, your message will need to be especially poignant to stand out from the pack.
Why Valuable Is Not Referable
In spite of these challenges, the importance of building a professional network should not be dismissed. The ability to work effectively with professionals, such as CPAs and attorneys, could be the key to growing your business more rapidly and much more efficiently. Professionals like these are in a uniquely powerful position to make high-quality referrals: they have earned the trust of successful individuals and families; they are knowledgeable about financial matters; and they already provide advice about many other decisions that their clients have to make.
Unfortunately, as a group they are inundated with requests from Financial Advisors (FAs) and other vendors who are trying to tap into this lucrative network. The good news is that most of the other messages are primitive and merely focus on defining a range of services or describing the basic service orientation of their advisory practice. In most cases, their messaging is all about the various ways in which they care for clientstheir valuable services.
While these types of messages do a good job of describing the valuable services the FA offers, they are not referablethey dont motivate a professional to take the reputational risk of making a referral. Well talk more about this idea of risk later. For now, its important to recognize that professionals will not refer clients to you simply because you show up and talk about what you do. Referable messages are different from messages about the value of what you do. They are much more about the needs of the person you are hoping to servethe audience of the messageand they require a very distinct type of structure and content in order to motivate action.
To make your message stand out from the rest and truly resonate, its first helpful to understand why many professionals are reluctant to make referrals. After spending countless hours in seminars and meetings, Ive learned from CPAs and attorneys that they are generally reluctant to make referrals for two reasons: (1) they are uncomfortable with the risk that making a referral exposes them to; and (2) the financial advisor doesnt make it easy for them to move toward making the referralthe FA expects the relationship to accelerate from the introduction to a collaboration after a single 30-minute meeting.
Both of these objections can be overcome by avoiding three common mistakes that FAs make when reaching out to CPAs and attorneys. By avoiding these errors, which can interrupt the ability of that professional to make a referral, you can significantly increase the likelihood that the professional will choose to collaborate with you.
The first common mistake ties back to our earlier discussion of valuable versus referable. Many advisors feel the need to describe the services, processes and features of their business. The reality is that any worthwhile CPA or attorney knows what a financial advisor is and what most advisory firms do.
Additionally, peppering the conversation with overused phrases or hyperboles such as superior service or more personalized attention or widest array of capabilities doesnt add any value. These statements dont present an actual message or offer any compelling valuethey arent memorable, never mind referable. Rather than motivate trust and comfort with the idea of collaboration, they stir up feelings of doubt.
Anyone who has achieved success in business has heard plenty of pitches. Successful CPAs and attorneys have heard more than their share. From these many and varied experiences, most professionals have developed a keen sense of skepticism, especially about exaggerated claims and hyperboles. For the advisor who wants to motivate referrals, it would be better to avoid meeting with a professional than to exaggerate the quality of your services or inflate the descriptions of your services.
Avoid this mistake by talking about a specific problem that a particular group of investors is currently struggling with and how you can solve that problem. The idea is to inspire the professional with the depth of your specialized knowledgeyour expertiseand to invite him or her to engage you for the value of that knowledge. This kind of messaging is both valuable and referable; the CPA or attorney can decide on the merits of your message whether or not to refer a client.
A second mistake commonly made by many advisors is to offer a referral in order to get a referral. This practice goes back at least several decades and is based on the hardwired human tendency to maintain reciprocity or fairness in relationships. While it is always beneficial to understand basic patterns of human behavior, I dont recommend trading referrals for a very simple reason: it cheapens the nature of the conversation between you and the professional.
When you offer a referral as a way to inspire the other person to give you back a referral, you are turning the trust and regard youve built into currency or a commodity. This strategy also assumes that the professional is motivated by the goal of generating more revenue. It doesnt address the Im taking a big risk in making a referral to this financial advisor problem.
The CPAs and attorneys you most want to work with have plenty of business; their clients are important to them, and they wont offer a referral as a way of evening the score. In fact, rather than thinking you expect a referral in return, the professional will likely assume that you want them to provide an important, high-quality professional service to the client. This is, of course, what they should think about when it comes to servicing new clients!
As in the first mistake, the key is to remember that the CPA or attorney needs to hear a compelling reason for making the referral. Sending them a client will most likely get you a heart-felt thank you, but until and unless you provide a clear and compelling reason for them to make a referral to you, thats about all you are likely to get.
The third mistake advisors make is simply asking the professional to take too big a risk. Essentially, the advisor says, Heres a problem some of your clients havesend them to me and Ill fix it. Outlining a problem some investors are facing and a solution that you offer is an effective way for you to showcase your knowledge of capital markets and of investment products. To the extent possible, message this way to as many professionals as you can. However, as you are messaging, always remember that, for the other person, making a personal referral to you is a big step. In many cases youll need to make it easier for the other person to overcome this barrier.
Instead of attempting to win the referral by using clichéd examples of your abilities, swapping referrals or expecting big commitments of interest after one or two meetings, I recommend the following:
- Instead of describing general services, describe a specific problem and solution that you have to offer. For example: Ive been working with clients who are nearing retirement and worried about the volatility in the marketplace. For people with these particular concerns, Ive been recommending [XYZ]. Would this type of strategy be useful to any of your clients?
- Instead of offering to trade a referral for a referral, offer a compelling reason to make the referral (solve a problem) that will cause the CPA or attorney to make a referral to take care of a client. Consider beginning with an offer such as, If you have a friend or client who has [define the specific financial problem] and needs to talk to an advisor, I would make it a priority to be available for that person.
- Instead of asking the CPA or attorney to take a big step, provide a small, easy, intermediate step that he or she can take to move toward working with you. This step should be low risk and no cost. Two great examples of strategies that are working for many advisors today are (1) to offer to do a bond analysis for clients with large, individually owned municipal bond portfolios and (2) to provide a seminar to educate investors about recent changes in the municipal bond marketplace and some of the active management solutions that are available to address them.
By avoiding the common mistakes and instead focusing on (1) highlighting a dangerous problem that the professionals clients are exposed to, and for which you have a solution, (2) making yourself available as someone who can solve a problem, and (3) providing a low-risk and no-cost intermediate step or trial experience of engagement, you can significantly increase the number of quality of referrals you garner from professionals. When this method is effectively designed and properly delivered, I know of no more efficient way to build a pipeline of new business.

The Epic Story of World War II's Most Daring Submarine RaidBook - 2010
With no knowledge of the secret development of the atomic bomb, senior American sub force commanders, desperate to avoid an invasion of the home islands, believed that if these enemy ships, vitally important to the enemy's war effort, were sunk, Japan would be forced to surrender.
For the first time ever, author Peter Sasgen tells the complete, incredible story of Operation Barney, the daring plot to penetrate the dense minefields protecting the Sea of Japan and decimate the enemy fleet. The brainchild of the dedicated sub commander Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, the mission would hinge on a new experimental sonar system that would, with luck, guide American submarines safely past the mines and into the open sea.
The nine submarines chosen, nicknamed Hellcats, were tasked with the impossible--the combined crews of 760 submariners all knew their chances of survival were slim. Based on original documents and the poignant personal letters of one doomed Hellcat commander, Sasgen crafts a classic naval tale of one of World War II's most dangerous missions.

A state prisoner from New Orleans who recently landed at the center of national legal debate about mandatory life sentences for youthful offenders won his freedom Thursday after 31 years in prison.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office agreed to vacate his murder conviction.
George Toca, 47, walked out of Angola State Penitentiary late Thursday, several hours after pleading guilty instead to two counts of attempted armed robbery and one count of manslaughter from a 1984 stickup that ended with his best friend, Eric Batiste, fatally shot outside a convenience store on South Broad Street in Broadmoor.
Toca's release almost certainly means the U.S. Supreme Court will scrap a scheduled hearing this spring on whether its 2012 decision in a case known as Miller v. Alabama, barring mandatory life sentences for juvenile convicts, is retroactive. The high court in November took up Toca's case, above others, to settle an issue that affects about 1,000 convicts in Louisiana and three other states that have refused to apply the court's ruling to older juvenile lifers.
A spokesman for Cannizzaro's office said the DA will join in a motion with Toca's attorneys to withdraw the Supreme Court case.
Toca, appearing briefly in Orleans Parish criminal court Thursday morning, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter count under an "Alford" plea, meaning he did not admit guilt but conceded that strong evidence could have led to his conviction..
Newly elected Criminal District Court Judge Byron Williams granted the joint motion in a case that the Innocence Project New Orleans had pursued on Toca's behalf for more than a decade.
DA's Office spokesman Christopher Bowman credited a warming relationship with Innocence Project attorneys, along with Toca's productive years behind bars, for the decision to let him go free on the reduced charges.
Bowman called it "a just outcome," also citing the vehemence of Batiste's family in urging Toca's release and the fact he will remain on parole for another 30 years under the deal.
"In light of all those facts, the district attorney believed he was no longer a public safety risk," Bowman said. "The District Attorney's Office ... is not afraid to take a look at older cases."
Toca, known as "Chicken George," has long maintained his innocence in the botched carjacking and shooting death that landed him a life sentence without the possibility of parole. He claims the two robbery victims falsely fingered him in photo lineups after police tracked him down based on his tight childhood bond with Batiste.
Toca was barely 17 when his buddy was killed and a young New Orleans police officer named Marlon Defillo, who knew the young pair, pointed detectives toward Toca.
His lawyers have presented numerous statements from friends and family members of Batiste who say Toca had left Batiste and others at a dance at the Superdome hours before the botched robbery and shooting in order to have sex with a girl at a Mid-City motel.
Since Toca's trial, witnesses have pointed to another friend, Edison Learson, as the actual shooter, claiming Learson confessed it to them.
Learson, who has since amassed a lengthy criminal record in California, was in San Quentin State Prison when Toca's case came before an Orleans Parish judge in 2010 for a post-conviction hearing. He sent word in a letter that he would stay silent if called to testify.
Toca's hopes for a new trial in state court had been on hold before Thursday's deal.
"The district attorney believes that this individual was guilty of the crimes of which he was convicted today," Bowman said on Thursday.
Toca's attorneys, however, declared him "innocent of the crime for which he was convicted and those to which he pled guilty today."
"Innocence Project New Orleans has been working on the case for years and in communication with the district attorney for years. This week the district attorney made a firm offer which would see Mr. Toca immediately released from his life sentence," Toca's attorneys said in a statement,
"Mr. Toca has already served 31 years wrongly imprisoned. It is understandable and appropriate that he chose certain release from Angola prison over the uncertainty of continuing his legal fight."
Joyce Dolliole, Batiste's 76-year-old aunt, said Toca wept as he signed the plea agreement.
"He just was a little sad he had to sign the paper. We all started to cry, because he had to say he killed his best friend when he didn't want to do it," Dolliole said. "We know, God knows and he know that he's not guilty," she added. "My work is done, as a family member of the deceased fighting for him to be free."
She said Toca plans to visit Batiste's grave with family members after his release.
"We felt my nephew's spirit in the courthouse," she said. "Eric would not have wanted him to do no time for something he didn't do."
Prosecutors at Toca's trial alleged that he and Batiste were in on the robbery together, and that Toca accidentally shot Batiste in the middle of a scuffle with one of the alleged victims over the car keys.
He "just sort of backed up a few steps, as if he could not believe what he had done," one of the targets of the armed robbery said of the shooter.
Bowman, the DA's spokesman, said prosecutors reached out to the victims, who were "steadfast in their identification" of Toca as the gunman. Nevertheless, "at least one of them felt the time (Toca) had spent in prison was sufficient," Bowman said.
Bowman insisted that the DA's decision to come to a deal on Toca's release was unrelated to the pending U.S. Supreme Court case, in which Cannizzaro's office had been gearing up to argue against the retroactive application of Miller v. Alabama.
The high court didn't ban states from sentencing some young killers to life without parole. But the 5-4 majority opinion insisted that courts must first weigh a defendant's youth, adding that "we think appropriate occasions for sentencing juveniles to this harshest possible penalty will be uncommon." The court said "youth matters for purposes of meting out the law's most serious punishments," citing "children's diminished culpability and heightened capacity for change" when compared with adults.
In legal filings, Cannizzaro's office argued that it would be a fool's errand to force local judges, years or decades later, to discern a long-ago juvenile's capacity for change.
Advocates for juvenile lifers argued that the task would be made easier because judges can review an inmate's record while behind bars. And they saw Toca's case as a promising bellwether for what the high court justices might do.
A former high school dropout, Toca earned a college degree behind bars with above-average marks, along with a bachelor's degree in Christian ministry from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He also has a diploma from an intensive carpentry program.
His record behind bars shows occasional disciplinary problems, though recent years have seen just a handful of small-time infractions.
According to the state, 272 Louisiana inmates had been sentenced as juveniles to life without the possibility of parole as of April 2013 — the bulk of them, like Toca, having been sentenced before the U.S. Supreme Court decision.
State Supreme Courts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota also have found that Miller v. Alabama does not apply retroactively, setting up the fight at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Toca's vacated conviction and release will leave the issue unresolved for now, said Cara Drinan, an associate professor of law at Catholic University of America. Still, she expects the Supreme Court to take up the retroactivity question relatively soon in some other case, now that it has signaled its interest in settling the issue.
"For George Toca, this is a victory and a great thing," Drinan said. "For those of us looking at the bigger issue, and for the hundreds of people waiting for a resolution, we'll have to wait."
The deal in the Toca case follows Cannizzaro's blockbuster decision last May, also in a deal with Innocence ProjectNO attorneys, to free convicted murder Reginald Adams after 34 years.
Unlike the Toca case, the reversal in Adams' case involved what Cannizzaro found to be "manifest intentional prosecutorial misconduct." In that case, Cannizzaro suggested that police and prosecutors conspired to railroad Adams by hiding evidence of another suspect and a recovered murder weapon.
Cannizzaro agreed to drop Adams' conviction outright. The case helped spark an announcement in August of a new partnership between the DA's office and Innocencet Project New Orleans to jointly review old cases for bad convictions. The new "Conviction Integrity Project" is believed to be the first of its kind in the country teaming prosecutors and advocates.
Discussions between IPNO and the DA on Toca's case predate that agreement.
In an unrelated case last week, Cannizzaro's office agreed to let Leonard Johnson plead guilty to manslaughter and go free after 38 years in prison on a murder conviction that U.S. District Judge Helen "Ginger" Berrigan overturned in a recent order granting him a new trial.
In that case, Johnson admitted shooting Ira Bodere and Richard McClarity during an argument at a New Orleans swimming pool in 1974, killing McClarity, but he said he fired in the heat of the moment to defend his brother.
He fought his conviction for decades, turning up a conflicting account from Bodere in a police report, and also claiming an unconstitutional jury instruction, in a case that languished in District Judge Frank Marullo's courtroom before Berrigan ordered that Johnson be retried or released.
In that case, Cannizzaro's office may have been hard pressed to successfully prosecute the case again.
While Adams is now seeking $330,000 in state compensation for his misspent time at Angola, Toca's plea makes it unlikely that he would succeed with a similar claim.
Under the order that Williams signed Thursday, Toca agreed to a 21-year sentence on the manslaughter count and a consecutive sentence of 40 years total for both armed robbery counts. His release comes after serving half of those 61 years.

Sports championships, trophies, popularity, awards, prizes, first place, gold medals, and titles are all terms we associated with winning. Growing up I was told "if I don't win, you might as well not play the game." For a long time I believed that until I saw the drawbacks of such thinking. Because I had such thought process, I was afraid of challenges especially if the odds were high.
To sum it all up, I was defeated before trying.
A message like that makes a child feel in order to try something or do anything worthwhile, there has to be some type of prize attached at the end. What happens when the child becomes an adult and face real world challenges? Two things can happen. They will either shut down if they think don't have a huge advantage of winning or they will accept mediocre opportunities because it's something they can win at. The later is more harmful because they will never reach their fullest potential.
Life isn't always giving us a pat on the back for a job well done but it doesn't mean we are losing.
When you look at social media postings you see comments made about losing teams (or certain players thereof) or people who have been deemed "unpopular" in the eyes of society. Winning has nothing to do with prizes and accolades. Winning is about finishing the race and making progress. Losing only counts when there's no effort. Even if you try something and it doesn't work doesn't make you a loser. You just learned what not to do the next time around.
Have you ever had narrow thinking when it comes to winning? Feel free to leave a comment below.
Lesson learned #7: Winning is about staying and finishing the course; Accolades are a bonus!
