The considerably expected Diablo III was revealed over 2 years ago. The 3rd version to the Diablo operation pledged to take players back into the realm of Diablo with superior quality images together with video gaming sense. They absolutely didn't dismayed. The public beta appeared enabling players interact during October of 2011 once the unharness time happened to be scheduled for Q4 of 2011. Afterwards, the time was pressed to Q1 of 2012 and also now players are starting to suspect one another push back.
Just about the most ensuring facets of the 3rd edition of Diablo was the artisan game mechanic. This process is to some degree quite similar to the careers in World of Warcraft, yet as an alternative of careers being readily available for in-game characters to study, the artisans are in-game NPCs you interact with. When you work with these Artisans you need the opportunity to train them which, after much gold as well as investment, are going to advance their amount from tier 1, Apprentice, to tier 10, Exalted. The moment Exalted, your Artisan will definitely can do almost every little thing they happen to be created to try and do.
Three artisans were designed as well as carried out into the pre-release model of the game play. These consisted of the Blacksmith that crafts as well as patches armor as well as salvages by means of junk for recycleable material, the Jeweler, that positions as well as eliminates sockets from gear alongside incorporating specific sorts of gemstones to build first-class gemstones as well as finally the Mystic, that boosts as well as detects hardware.
Why Was The Mystic Removed?
On January 19th, 2012, when a large number of players were expecting a introduction time instead they received a list of main system modifications. One of those modifications consisted of the reduction of the Mystic artisan. Creators at Blizzard expressed that they merely didn't believe the Mystic provided the unequaled feel they had actually expected. They discussed it was as well quite similar to the current treasure mechanic.
This reduced the variety of artisans to 2 as well as left many players wondering if there sufficed mixture to lure participants to make use of artisans at all. Thinking of every single personality is able to max both artisans when as well as use them from virtually any personality, it will definitely merely happen to be a matter of time if the volume of Diablo players have developed of their artisans to exalted. This also eliminates the enhancement mechanic absolutely, restraining players to gemstones if they desire to improve the standard of their items.
Absolutely the Mystic will definitely be missed as well as are going to be hunted in the new content patches of Diablo III. Subsequently Blizzard are going to determine how to realize success in the Diablo series again.
Additionally, become familiar with the another emerging game play from Rockstar, the GTA V.

Russell confirms Hateful Eight date
Kurt Russell has confirmed filming on Quentin Tarantino's new Western The Hateful Eight is due to begin early next year.
The Django Unchained director had abandoned plans for the film after the script was leaked online, but it was recently reported he may have changed his mind.
Now Kurt, who worked with Quentin on Death Proof, has told Fox news: "I've got a Tarantino project called The Hateful Eight that looks like it may go somewhere around the beginning of the year."
This would mean only a slight delay from the rumoured plan to start shooting in Wyoming in November this year.
After the script was leaked online, Tarantino staged a live read of the film in Los Angeles in April, with Samuel L Jackson, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Kurt Russell, James Remar, Amber Tamblyn, Walton Goggins, Zoe Bell and Tim Roth.
It is thought he will use the same cast for the big screen version.
The Hateful Eight follows "the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere".
The Oscar-winning filmmaker has withdrawn his lawsuit against Gawker for posting a link to his 146-page script for the planned movie.
When the script leaked online Quentin said he was "depressed" and "angry" and even named four of the only six people he had given the script to. He said at the time he was shelving the project in the hope of discouraging future leaks.

Oscar-winning film director Oliver Stone has branded Pokémon Go "a new level of invasion" and suggested it is part of a tech trend that could lead to "totalitarianism".
While promoting his new movie about infamous US whistleblower Edward Snowden at Comic Con yesterday (July 21), Ars Technica reports, Stone was asked about the enormously popular app.
"I'm hearing about it too, it's a new level of invasion," he told the panel audience. "Once the government had been hounded by Snowden, of course the corporations went into encryption, because they had to for survival, right? But the search for profits is enormous here. Nobody has ever seen, in the history of the world, something like Google, ever.
It's the biggest, new fastest-growing business ever, and they have invested huge amounts of money into what surveillance is, which is data-mining."
"They're data-mining every person in this room for information as to what you're buying, what you like, and above all, your behaviour. Pokémon Go kicks into that," Stone continued. "But this is everywhere. It's what some people call surveillance capitalism. It's the newest stage. It's not for profit in the beginning, but it becomes for profit in the end."
Stone, known for directing films including Platoon and Wall Street, then added: "It manipulates your behaviour. It has happened already quite a bit on the Internet, but you'll see it everywhere – you'll see a new form of, frankly, a robot society, where they will know how you want to behave and they will make the mockup that matches how you behave and feed you. It's what they call totalitarianism."
Meanwhile, Pokémon Go's astonishing success has been highlighted after it recently became the most successful mobile game in US history.
The success of the app is so widespread that a Pokémon Go dating app has now been launched. Entitled PokéDates, the venture is an offshoot of existing dating service Project Fixup, and aims to set up prospective partners by sending them on Pokémon hunting dates. The first 'PokéDate' is free but after that, you must refer friends or pay $20 (£15) for each additional date. Find out more info here.

Ollie Humphries hit a hat-trick as the young Rocks chalked up a 4-0 Alliance Under-19s League win over Woking at Nyewood Lane this afternoon.
It means the goal-hungry home side maintain their position at the top of the table and in so doing took their total to 32 goals scored in just five matches.
Striker Humphries cashed in on two mistakes in the visitors' rearguard to net his first on 25 minutes and again five minutes later.
Jamie Carroll, who has been a sub for Jack Pearce's outfit several times so far this season, made it 3-0 just before the break. A dominant home side could have easily gone in at the break with a bigger advantage but for missed chances.
Rocks go from goal drought to goal glut
Midfielder on trial - and on target
Humphries, currently playing his football at SCFL division one side Selsey, made hit 4-0 on the hour to bag his treble. Bognor controlled large periods of play with decent possession. Joe Clarke showed great awareness and ability alongside Harley Bain in central defence, while Liam Brady caught the eye going forward.
Rocks secretary Simon Cook said he was pleased with the performance and also the fans who turned up to cheer on the team. He said: "It was a convincing display and all involved are to be congratulated. We make these games free entry and we're starting to get more and more supporters come down to get their midweek football fix, and long may that continue."
Before today's convincing victory, the youngsters have beaten AFC Wimbledon 7-2, Met Police 8-2, Aldershot Town 3-0 and Corinthian-Casuals 10-0.

The phrases in Barack Obama's inauguration speech that have evoked the greatest enthusiasm across the political spectrum of the US establishment, from the Republican right to liberal Democrats, were those suggesting that the American people are responsible for the present economic catastrophe. "Our economy is badly weakened," he declared, "a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age."
Precisely what those "hard choices" are Obama did not specify, but he made clear they in no way involve a challenge to the capitalist market system, declaring that "its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched."
He broadly hinted that the "hard choices" he would make involve sweeping cuts in social programs, including ending programs that don't' "work." This policy of austerity, which, as he had previously indicated, would include cuts in bedrock programs such as Social Security and Medicare, was summed up in his call for "a new era of responsibility."
The implicit demand for greater sacrifice from the American people was hailed by liberal commentators such as the Washington Post's David Ignatius, who praised Obama for telling the people that the crisis was "partly our fault." He continued, "We all know the Pogo line about how 'we have met the enemy, and he is us.' Obama implicitly seemed to embrace it."
Yesterday, we wrote of our eager anticipation of Barack Obama's long-suppressed opinion on the mass slaughter in Gaza. As we all know, the most eloquent, forthright and morally concerned orator of the age kept a demure silence on this subject for weeks, because, he said, "we have only one president at a time," who alone should speak about foreign policy. Of course, that didn't keep the morally concerned orator from speaking freely on almost every other aspect of foreign policy -- Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. But consistency, as they say, is the hobgoblin of small minds, and the brain of the new president -- who has set the world aflame with rhetoric that has never been heard in Washington before, soaring phrases of penetrating uniqueness about freedom, hope, peace, and the enduring greatness of the American people -- is famously large.
The invasion of Gaza -- which began after Israel broke the ceasefire, launched provocative and deadly raids inside Gaza, and had also tightened its death-grip blockade to a level quite legitimately comparable to the Warsaw Ghetto -- was actually the fault of (wait for it, wait for it).... the Palestinians. Thus sprach Barack.

Obama's "Top Secret" Phone to Run on Windows? Yikes!
Obama's Top Secret Phone will run using possibly the buggiest and most easily accessible software for hackers to penetrate, WINDOWS.
When the prez isn't having trouble dealing with bugs, shut downs and Boot Again? messages, his Top Secret phone will be hacked into in no time, most likely by that SLC in the ME that is always proclaiming that it is our best friend in the world, at the same time sending armies of spies to penetrate the Pentagon, White House and the State Department.
The same bunch that snooped into then President Clinton's phone calls when he was getting his cigars soaked by Monica Lewinsky will be the same bunch that spies on Obama to twist and bend him to their will.
That same bunch which had a huge part in helping pull off the false-flag of 9/11, thru a massive spying operation on American telecommunications, thru the Israeli companies AmDocs and Comverse Infosys.

At Least They Didn't Name Him "Sue"
Adolf Hitler Campbell (center) and his parents Heath and Deborah.
For reasons only they know, and haven't chosen to share with the rest of us, Holland Township, New Jersey residents Heath and Deborah Campbell named their oldest child Adolf Hitler Campbell.
His younger sisters are named Joyce Lynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlnn Hinnler Jeannie Campbell, the latter name apparently an illiterate tribute of some sort to SS Chief Heinrich Himmler.
About two weeks ago, child "protection" bureaucrats from the New Jersey Department of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) materialized in the Campbell household in the company of a police officer. Referring to a conveniently anonymous report alleging some unspecified "imminent danger" to the kids, the DYFS child-nappers seized the Campbell children and placed them in foster care.
Sgt. John Harris of the Holland Township Police was the officer assigned to accompany the child-nappers "to keep the peace and protect the [social] workers," as he told ABC News. Harris points out that the couple had not been charged with any crime. Nor was he aware of any complaint that had been lodged against either parent for any form of domestic abuse or neglect.
The Campbells have odd and reprehensible taste in names for their children, certainly. But it was the conduct of Sgt. Harris -- who was only following the orders of his superiors -- that displayed the same authoritarian conformity that facilitated the evil acts carried out by the National Socialist regime.
The fact that the Campbell household is entirely dependent on government transfer payments italicizes one little-understood facet of the Welfare State: The same government that pays to feed and shelter the children implicitly claims them as its property, and stands prepared to exercise that claim whenever its functionaries see fit to do so. This principle was laid out with admirable frankness by H.G. Wells (yes, that H.G. Wells), a supporter of Britain's Fabian Socialist movement, in his 1919 book New Worlds for Old.

Talk to the Hand: Resist the NWO
Communism. Nazism. Zionism. These movements are all just different facets of the same evil impulse to enslave humanity under totalitarianism. The Illuminati dangle baits, hoping to lure people into traps. They want people to fight each other. When the people oblige, expend their blood and treasure, and finally demand a solution, the Illuminati miraculously pull exactly the right cyanide-laced casserole pre-cooked out of the freezer. Just pop it in the media oven for an hour, and you're good to go. Just like the Patriot Act.

Another Jewish gift to humanity
"Israel's refusal to allow civilians any exit route from Gaza as its defence forces rained bombs down on schools and houses appears unprecedented in modern warfare, a United Nations investigator has said.
Richard Falk, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, described the sealing off of the Gaza Strip in order to ensure that nobody could flee it as 'a distinct, new and sinister war crime.'
'For the first time in a military operation, the civilian population as a whole has been locked into a war zone,' he told a meeting of the European Parliament by telephone. 'No children, women, sick people or disabled people were allowed to leave. For the first time, the option of becoming a refugee has been withheld.'"
Mysterious Prison Buses in the Desert
On a recent visit to Tucson, where I was invited to give a presentation on monetary reform, I was disturbed by a story of strange goings on in the desert. A little over a year ago, it seems, a new industrial facility sprang up on the edge of town. It was in a remote industrial zone and appeared to be a bus depot. The new enterprise was surrounded by an imposing security fence and bore no outward signs identifying its services. However, it soon became apparent that the compound was in the business of outfitting a fleet of prison buses. Thirty or so secondhand city buses were being reconfigured with prison bars in the windows and a coat of fresh paint bearing the "Wackenhut G4S" logo on the side.
The new Wackenhut operation is shrouded in mystery. It has been running its fleet of empty prison buses night and day, apparently logging miles on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contract. Multiple buses can be seen driving all over town and even on remote desert back roads. Oddly, except for the driver and one escort guard seated in front, these buses are always empty.
There is another interesting piece to this puzzle. On the desolate plain between Phoenix and Tucson is a tiny town called Florence, Arizona, which features a population consisting largely of prisoners. For decades, Florence has been the home of two of the largest county and federal prisons in the state; and in 2007, a vast new DHS prison was built there as well. Like the Wackenhut buses, this shiny new facility, which literally disappears into the horizon, has gone unannounced and unnoticed by the general public. A new facility for imprisoning illegal aliens? It is hard to imagine such expensive infrastructure being built for that purpose when U.S. policy has been to simply return illegals to their home countries.
Fraud and waste aside, this mysterious activity has sinister implications. Why the obvious secrecy?
Obama's War In Iraq & Afghanistan: Its Historical Roots
Some of the Democratic Party-oriented leaders of the U.S. anti-war movement have been claiming since 2006 that the election of a Democratic Party-controlled U.S. Congress and a Democratic President would end the U.S. War Machine's immoral military occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet the Democratic Obama Administration has still not ordered the U.S. War Machine to immediately start withdrawing all Pentagon troops and U.S. private contractor troops from Iraq and Afghanistan by February 1, 2009.
One reason may be because it was a Democratic Administration, the Carter Administration, which initiated a covert war against people in Afghanistan in the late 1970s; and it was a Democratic Administration, the administration of Obama Administration Secretary of State-Designate Clinton's husband, which continued the Bush I Administration's war on the Iraqi people during the 1990s.
For more information on some of the historical roots of Obama's War In Iraq & Afghanistan, you might want to check out the following items that first appeared in the now-defunct alternative newsweekly Downtown in the 1990s:

Read Some Of The Reasons Why You May Qualify!
If Hell Really Does Exist, Most Humans In The World, Will Probably End Up There
By Arthur Poletti
Are you one of the millions of callous, unaware, delusional, brain dead, immune from empathy, ill-fated humans in the world that willingly and thoughtlessly condones and supports some or most of the massive, completely unnecessary hideous forms of never ending torture and brutal premature deaths of millions of precious creatures everyday?
The most repulsive, gruesome, unimaginable tragedy's that happen everyday are overwhelmingly supported by most people in the world, including most religious and government leaders. The never ending worst possible kinds of completely unnecessary forms of cruelty and sufferings forced upon the innocent, helpless, animal race represent the worst crimes in history.
Wise up now! Do not be unwilling or reluctant to know the real truth. Become aware now of why you and those whom you love should not participate, support, promote, or condone any of the many different types of despicable and sickening forms of cruelty to animals.
"You might be shocked to know that in the United States alone approximately 660,000 animals are killed for meat every hour. A surprising quantity of animal flesh is consumed. In a 72 year lifetime, the average American consumes approximately 11 cattle, 3 lambs and/or sheep, 23 hogs, 45 turkeys, 1,100 chickens and 862 pounds of fish. Bon appetite!"

The two leaders thereafter led delegation-level talks. "A closer engagement with the heart of Europe. President and PM lead delegation level talks #IndiaSwitzerland," Swarup said in another tweet.
Ahead of his five-nation tour, Modi had described Switzerland as India's key partner in Europe. "I will hold talks with President Schneider-Ammann to deepen our bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
"In Geneva, I will meet prominent businesspersons. Our agenda will be to expand economic and investment ties. I will meet Indian scientists working at CERN. India takes pride in their contribution to exploring new frontiers of science in the service of humanity," he had said.
The Prime Minister is likely to raise the issue of black money stashed by Indians in Swiss banks.
Modi is also likely to seek Switzerland's support for India's membership of the 48-member Nuclear Suppliers Group as it is a key member of the elite grouping.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today called for the use of science and technology to build better cities, saying that most global population growth in the coming years is expected to occur in urban areas of developing countries, with rising demand for land, housing, basic services and infrastructure.
"We know what policies would strengthen urban good governance and improve the way cities handle such key issues as housing, land use, equitable access to land, inheritance and shelter rights, sanitation and energy efficiency," Mr. Ban said in a message to the delegates attending the 23rd session of the Governing Council of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), which opened today in Nairobi, Kenya.
"Our collective challenge is to stimulate sustainable urban development and the transition towards a green economy," the Secretary-General said in the message, delivered by Inga Bjork-Klevby, the UN-HABITAT Deputy Executive Director.
Mr. Ban pointed out that since the articulation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by world leaders at UN Headquarters more than a decade ago, 55 million slum dwellers have been added to the global population.
"Cities, as they have for centuries, play a central role in the advancement of human progress. Let us ensure that all their citizens enjoy the well-being they need to continue making those unique and invaluable contributions," said Mr. Ban.
UN-HABITAT Executive Director Joan Clos said that whereas the world's cities were faced with myriad of challenges, they could be overcome with innovative urban planning.
"For the last 20 years the city has been seen as a place of problems, a form of pessimism that has led to inaction," said Mr. Clos. "Instead, we should be optimistic, after all if you go back in time, you find that the city has been a place of freedom and growth – economic as well as personal," he said.
He stressed that cities and urbanization should be considered an asset, not a liability, adding that urban areas provided decent jobs and development, equality, opportunities for the youth and chances for gender equality.
In a related development, the southern Italian city of Naples has offered to host the sixth session of the World Urban Forum in September next year. The theme of the event will be "The prosperity of cities: balancing ecology, economy and equity."
Mr. Clos thanked the Italian Government and the Naples municipality for agreeing to host the event, adding that the city, globally renowned for its history of art and culture, had many lessons to offer to the world on urbanization.

I tell my friends and clients all the time. "Nobody reads your blog. Or mine either."
I've been blogging my ass off for over three years and what do I have to show for it? Well, I've got some traffic. I've got some followers. I've got some authority, KLOUT, PeerIndex love. But what do I have, really?
I'll say it again, so you don't miss it: Nobody reads your blog. Nobody really reads anyone's blog. Perhaps blogs are dead.
Okay, here's the converse truth. This is not a blog. [Bear with me, I'm not just toying with you.]
What is a blog?
From the above Google search we see a blog is three things.
- A free platform from Google "for sharing text, photos and video." And Google should know.
- Wikipedia says a blog is "a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts")"
- A place where Seth Godin generates the riffs and content for his future books. He writes and writes and writes and every now and then packages up his posts/categories and tags and violá, he's got a book. A good book. And he's about as famous as you get at this social media and marketing stuff.
But Seth Godin isn't writing a blog. Heck, HE doesn't even allow comments. How bloggy is that? But there he is, #3 under def: blog on Google Search.
Okay, back to me for a second. If you are on uber.la reading this, you are not here to read my "personal journal." I can point you to that if you're interested, but it's a much less focused and driven place.
So, in order to understand what THIS is, I have to answer several questions:
- How did you get here?
- What were you looking for?
- Did you find it?
- What else can I do for you?
And my Google Analytics should make that pretty clear, if we know what we're looking for.
Here's my 30-day overview.
Main GA Observations:
- 80% of you are first-time visitors [WELCOME]
- 76% of you left without visiting another page
- 1:56 time on a post is about right, skim some/read some
And now referral traffic stats, how in the world did you find uber.la?
Major referral observations:
- 1/3 of you found us through a direct link [bookmark, typing the url in]
- 1/3 of you found us through google search [we don't do any ppc at the moment]
- 1/3 of you found us through my incessant social media work [twitter.linkedin, facebook,google+] or via RSS subscription
So that about answers the initial questions of how did you find uber.la, but can we answer the others?
Did you find what you were looking for? Answer: 1.62 pages is a pretty good average, considering that includes the immediate bounces, people who stay for less than 5 seconds. And a 2 minute average, means you were at least reading most of the page you landed on.
The final question, "Is there anything else I can do for you?" is really the crux of the matter. And unfortunately the overwhelming answer is NO.
The secondary answer is a little better: Three referrals in the last 30-days are going to get me moving on some pretty significant projects.
Summary: Nobody reads your blog, if you are actually "blogging," you might be doing it for some other reason than business. Of the people that do arrive here, a good portion of them stay around two minutes and visit several pages. The referrals I am hoping for, via my "Work with me" page and free offers, are virtually non-existent.
The big big big client, that I can't talk about yet, doesn't read my blog at all. The CEO could care less about my Twitter followers or tweets. What the "focus of my next few months" client cares about is my history of success in online marketing. He doesn't want to READ my blog. He wants me to show him numbers, show him ideas, and chart a path for growth of HIS BUSINESS.
I'm guessing he has never read my blog and won't ever see this post. That's fine.

Mike Barrett, LSSULakers.com
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — After seeing a combined nine goals scored in their season opener, the Lake Superior State men's hockey team, under head coach Damon Whitten, settled things down in their second game against the Merrimack Warriors in non-conference action.
The Lakers (2-0-0, 0-0-0 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) scored the only goal of the contest early in the second period, as they swept Merrimack (0-2-0, 0-0-0 Hockey East) on the road at Lawler Arena.
Max Humitz, who was the Lakers' leading scorer last season with 13 goals, found the back of the net less than a minute into the middle frame, as the junior from Livonia, Michigan, beat Warriors goaltender Craig Pantano for the only tally of the game. Pantano was lured across the crease when Brayden Gelsinger brought the puck around the back of the net. Gelsinger dumped it off for Humitz, who had a wide open net to take advantage of.
Lakers goaltender Mareks Mitens stopped all 31 shots he faced, picking up the second shutout of his collegiate career. The goose egg did not come easy, however, as the Warriors kept offensive pressure on the native of Ventspilis, Lativa, the entire game, especially as time wound down and Merrimack pulled Pantano for an extra skater.
In taking the loss, Pantano stopped 23 of 24 shots.
Both teams were fruitless on the power play, as Lake Superior was 0 for 4, while Merrimack went 0 for 7. This came just a day after the two teams combined for five power play tallies.
With the sweep, the Lakers now lead the all-time series between the two schools 3-1. Prior to this weekend, they had not played since a two game, total goals series in the 1988 NCAA Tournament.
Lake Superior will return home to the Taffy Abel Arena this week for a two game exhibition set against the Lakers of Nipissing College. Tickets may be purchased at the Norris Center Ticket Office or online at lssulakers.com/tickets. A special online only ticket promotion is going on for these two games, where single tickets are just $3.50, in commemoration of the 350th anniversary of the founding of Sault Ste. Marie.

If you were to ask me several years ago to give you a rundown of courtship vs dating I would have easily pulled out my notes and let it rip. But the more I read online, the more I've seen that (at least in Christian circles) courtship and dating mean different things to different people. Recently, after someone I've mentored finally decided to declare that they were in a relationship, they didn't know if they should call it dating or courting. Both terms seem to have connotations that their belief system doesn't represent.
Previously this is how I would have articulated the two paradigms of pursuing romance, the courtship vs dating debate:
Dating Paradigm
Courtship Paradigm
Any spiritually minded,
sincere person reading this courtship vs dating comparison would totally pick the courtship paradigm over the dating one.
But the problem comes when you face the reality that the way some people actually
implement courtship has been taken to extremes, and has painted "courtship" in a fanatical light. (Read that post here)
Debra Fileta, author of True Love Dates, comments about the courtship vs dating debate in an article posted in Relevant Magazine, "The world of dating can be hard to navigate for a young Christian. Dating in wider society is often portrayed as a feel-good experience. If you feel "right" together, if you're having fun, if there's passion and pleasure, then it must be a good relationship. But if this is the foundation of a relationship, commitment is often trumped by chemistry and loyalty is often replaced with lust. It's a mentality that causes us to live in the moment, rather than building a future at the same time. It's no wonder Christians tend to freak out about dating. Rather than trying to navigate through the world of dating in a healthy way, it's easier to overcompensate for one extreme by simply developing another. So in the Christian community, models of courtship, no kissing until the altar, "God-told-me-to" break-up excuses and other confusing circumstances abound."
Our struggle as human beings is
maintaining balance. It's common for people to swing from one side of the pendulum to the other. As a result of people going to extremes in how they do courtship I've begun
to see more people feel uneasy about identifying with that word. This is what one blogger said
concerning courtship: "To me, courting became an ideal in the same way that
socialism is an ideal — and while I flirted briefly with socialism as a 13 year
old (reading some of Marx's own writings), it didn't take me long to see that
what sounded great in theory and on paper resulted in disaster and catastrophe
when implemented in real life. Through observing the experiences of others,
reading exhaustively, and studying Scripture, I have come to the same
conclusion about "courting" as a philosophy" — it works much better on paper
than it does in practice."
How does it work out in practice? Read here see how some people have carried the idea to extremes and their implementation has given the name a bad rep. Read here to see how it worked out perfectly fine for others.
As I ponder the whole debate of courtship vs dating I recognize that it doesn't really matter what you call it. It's your life, not the label that counts.Your goal is to have a happy marriage and glorify God in the process. You know what? You can do that through arranged marriages, healthy dating or courtship.

The "Shotgun" Houses of McKeesport
Did you know that "Shotgun" houses existed in the North? These narrow, modest worker homes are located on Scott Street and Scott Street Rear in McKeesport, PA. It is something of a miracle that they have survived. They probably date to the early 20th century.

Pittsburgh Vernacular: The "Mill House"
Here is an example of a classic Pittsburgh house. While the style may be seen elsewhere, these types of houses are very common in the southern hilltop neighborhoods of the city (Allentown), Elliott, and some of the old steel towns in the Mon Valley. The "mill house" is usually a two story, upright, wood-framed dwelling, with two or three window bays on the second floor. There may or may not be a porch. They are usually seen with decorative trim typical of the Victorian era, when most of these houses were built, unless the house has been stripped and re-sided (not unlikely) over the decades. Some of these houses may date back to the Civil War era or earlier. They were modest, but well-built, and intended for the working class of the day.
|Woods Run
|Homestead. Note the porch.
|This is the slightly larger variant. Notice that there are three windows on the second floor. Located in Braddock.

We cannot commend Eamon and his team enough for their dedication and commitment to us as customers. We have benefited greatly from their excellent aftersales and always know that they can be fully relied upon in the future. We would, and have recommended EJB to many friends and family and will continue to do so. To Eamon, Keith and the team we would like to express our sincere thanks to you, for all your hard work and professionalism. We will definately be back! Many thanks, Steven and Sandra Shaw

I recently purchased a car from Eamon and Keith after looking for a specific car from the main dealers all over the UK. After narrowing it down to three exact cars I eventually closed a deal with Eamon and Keith. The level of customer care and professionalism from the whole team was beyond expectations and any small attention to detail was never a problem. I had an hub seal fail on another work vehicle and at very short notice they were able to resolve the problem the next morning. I have no hesitations to return as a first port of call if I intend to change the car in the future. Thanks again to all of you for making a change of car a fun and pleasant experience.

This is the second car I have bought of Eamon and cannot emphasis the professionalism and expert knowledge showed by Eamon and Keith. As it was new car I was after, Eamon was able to source the Market for me, and find the perfect car. This meant that I did not have to endure the pressure of a large dealership where they only care about a sale. Eamon and his team found me a brand new Volvo C30 which I absolutely love! All I had to do was turn up and drive away the car as they took care of all the paperwork! I certainly would recommend Eamon and Keith to any of my friends as their knowledge and honesty made the experience enjoyable.

Tender Wings of Desire by Colonel Sanders
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #38 Free in Kindle Store
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle Short Reads > Two hours or more (65-100 pages) > Romance
#19 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Romance
This book is new to me, as is the author. #NewToMe2017 (I'm going to assume that this is a debut, as the listed author has no other attributed works. But, honestly, we all know this is the handy work of a ghost writer.)

Oh my (*insert voice of George Takei here). Judging by the cover (which we all know to never do), I expected a corny, hilarious story mixed with some romance. Also, the main character doesn't wear jeans, but rather is from the era of corsets and dresses covering hoop skirt petticoats. I'm willing to overlook that because the artwork, as hokey and unrelated to the story as it is, is what drew me in. Actually, this was just an ordinary alternative-history romance. (I'm assuming it's alternative history.) There is only a vague reference, near the end, to the chicken chain.
I'm giving it four stars because it's a fine book, but I'm not going running to social media to insist all my friends read it. (Even if such insistence is how I end up reading most of these cisgender romance novels about Europeans.) It's low on the heat scale, probably so conservative readers can enjoy it too. A privileged young lady runs away from an arranged marriage, pretends to be a commoner to get a job, and meets a guy. (Was there a spoiler in that? It's basically a "reforming the rake" romance plot.) And there's nothing wrong with that. It's even done well.
There's a character named Caoimhe— gotta love that.
The chicken-making author has two typos/formatting issues ("womenin" and "womaninto" ), and there's always a debate in the grammar world as to if "alright" is an acceptable word (instead of all right).
Book Review
Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) by Victoria Aveyard
#FlightsOfFantasy #SpecFic #NewToMe2017 (I haven't read the book before.)
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,649 in Books
#19 in Books > Teens > Romance > Science Fiction & Dystopian
#134 in Books > Teens > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy
#134 in Books > Teens > Literature & Fiction
I would go mad if there wasn't another book in this series. This rollercoaster of emotion and action that fills the pages ends on a note that's like being struck by lightning.
Like Red Queen, I find the book, a fantasy story which seems to have a setting of future Earth, to feel very much like the present day. There's a line, "He never got to teach me about the Divide, the ancient moment when silver blood split from red," which feels to me like the way Americans talk about being divided now. (Rich versus everyone else, healthy versus anyone taking any prescription ever for anything, races, religions, etc.) There's a line in the book, "Sickness with easy cures, but no money to buy the medicine." This is a fantasy world where there are people who can heal almost anything with just a touch… but they only treat the richest, the silver bloods. It's those tiny mentions in the book that hit too close to home for my heart and head.
In this fantasy world filled with people who have super powers, it's still the psychic, Jon, who gets questioned. Calling lightning and commanding electric, sure. Healing with a touch, okay. Seeing a few minutes into the future, you bet. But seeing time, seeing days ahead… that's where the characters get skeptical. I found Jon and his power, and the reactions the others had to it, to be very amusing. To quote, "chose to trust what they could understand, rather than what was true." Those are more than words in a book. There's wisdom leaking out, which is what I love about this author. A paragraph later explains the fantastic covers of these books, the crowns dripping with blood. I love when the reason for a cover becomes obvious in the pages.
I'm pretty sure I know what Farley's question is, the one to which Jon tells Mare that the answer is yes. It'll be the next book before I know for 100% sure, but I'm 99% betting that I know.
I'm also going to mention quickly how fun the acknowledgment was to read.

I am a member of a LinkedIn group – …
Whilst at an open air picnic concert I found my mind wondering around personal space and boundaries.
As more and more and more people arrived so the space between parties lessened. Some people completely oblivious to their neighbours others quietly shuffling forward and some giving "looks" :)
How does this relate to business?
I wondered what boundaries and personal space we
a) Expect
b) Take for granted
c) Are aware of
d) React…Continue

Stress is brought on by fear and negative thinking. Recently, a very worried woman said to me, "Oh!

The role of the Managing Agent has changed greatly over the years but if you analyse the subject of complaints we receive then they fall in to 2 categories.
They are either to do with parking or refuse collection. I'll tackle car parking first and refuse\recycling in my next blog.

Getting to the root cause of a problem is sometimes difficult. In the cut and thrust of everyday business life it is all too easy to take the first idea or first solution to a problem and run with it. But what if the first idea or first solution merely points at a symptom of the problem and not to the root cause? A lot of time, effort and money can be wasted 'going down rabbit holes' when the real solution to the problem lies elsewhere.
In my blog 'taking a thought for a walk' I…Continue

Hi all, I saw the new Yell.com ad on TV last week and just wondered what you thought of it?
It's a modern take on the old classic J. R. Hartley advert but I don't like it for a number of reasons - and they all sum up for me, why Yell.com continues to miss a trick. Firstly, it's pretty much the exact same story line and outcome - except that instead of the old book, he now uses an app on his mobile to find…Continue

The theme of ambition kept coming up time and time again. But, it is more than just an ambition that centres on size or on money. It is an ambition that brings with it: "an eternal sense of dissatisfaction with what currently exists, a strong drive to make things better"; "a passion for doing something that really makes a difference"; "a belief that you can make it happen or actually see yourself doing it"; an imperative to…Continue

This was one of the questions raised by a recent presentation by Baker Tilly to Thames Valley IGT. the figures were based on the company's recent YouGov survey of 500 SMEs.

Below is my list of 52 books (which turned into 61 as I added new books along the way) that I set a goal to read and review in 2014. I only made it through 39 books, with the final review posted earlier today - but I feel like it was a successful year of reading nonetheless.
If there's a link - it'll take you to the review. The others are 'deadheads', books I haven't finished or, mostly, haven't even started. Estimated stats are about 5000 actual book pages combined with 160 hours of audio.
I have 25 books left over to read - some of which might drop off - so I'm looking at suggestions for 2015. I will not be reviewing every book, but in my Win Anyway Blog I'll be keeping weekly updates of my goals next year, so if you check in there, you'll know what I'm reading, with a brief rating.
I WILL, however, continue to review speaking books and products here in Speak & Deliver - so if you want me to check something out, especially something you've written - let me know. 8 of the 39 books reviewed this year were from friends, who either sent me their physical or electronic version of their masterpiece.

Thank you for following me on this journey. I feel great about what I've been able to expose myself to this year. 2/3 of my reading covered speaking, marketing, leadership, and inspiration - all parts of our speaking industry. While I did get a fair amount of repeat info, each book invariably gave me something either new to think about, or a new way to think about something I already knew.
Finally - even though I didn't review them, I also got to get back to my first love - comic books - just a little bit over the last month or so. You may have heard me talk about 'The Flash' on my Win Anyway Podcast - I've gotten to read two graphic novels collecting various storylines - the first comics I've read in at least a decade.
Again - give me your recommendations - and stay tuned, I get everything read....eventually!
1. Under The Dome - Stephen King - I've gotten about halfway through this, but put it down last year. Now that it's a hit TV show, I suppose I should finish it...
2. Moby Dick - Herman Melville - A classic I've never read, perhaps appropriate for contest season.
3. Book yourself Solid - Michael Port - I've never made it through this, because I want to actually do the exercises in it, not just browse it. Now's the time.
Think and Grow Rich, 61 & 62. The Law of Success, The Lost Prosperity Secrets, The Magic Ladder to Success - Napoleon Hill - delving into his other works, versus re-reading TAGR.
5. Black Book of Networking - Jeffrey Gitomer - it's been a few years - may choose the audible just to hear Jeffrey's encouraging voice.
6. From History's Shadow. A Star Trek book - Dayton Ward. A guilty pleasure I haven't allowed in years. TBD.
7. Presentation Zen - Garr Reynolds - hard to believe I haven't read this, actually.
8. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams - a SF/Fantasy Classic I have inexplicably never read.
9. The Complete Sherlock Holmes - Sir Conan Doyle - A book I've had for 30 years, just waiting for me to actually read it all. I've read a few stories, but not in the last 15 years.
10. The Message of You - Judy Carter - My top speaking book of 2013, a must re-read resource.
11. Million Dollar Speaking - Alan Weiss - I'm about halfway through this on Kindle, need to finish it.
12. World Class Speaking - Craig Valentine - As with the above, halfway through.
13. The Element - Ken Robinson - highly recommended from this TEDTalk icon.
14. The Bully Pulpit - Doris Kearns Goodwin - saw this in Barnes and Noble a couple weeks ago, and have since had several friends recommend it. At 928 pages, I may have to listen to it instead...
15. The Slight Edge - Jeff Olsen - another motivational classic that has slipped under my radar.
16. 80/20 - Perry Marshall - need to order it - the recommendation was through the roof.
17. Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes - a literary classic I have avoided, but will give a try.
18. The Giver - Lois Lowry - never heard of it, but it has potential.
19. The Long Walk to Freedom - Nelson Mandela - perhaps the must-read auto-biography of the year for me.
20. Salt - Mark Kurlansky - I'm a bit leery of this, but perhaps it will add some flavor to my reading habits.
21. The Book Thief - Markus Zusak - no, I won't cheat and just rent the movie. Just.
22. Ishmael - Daniel Quinn - Have no idea what to expect here.
23. Improv for Storytellers - Keith Johnstone - Always good to brush up.
24. Go Giver - Bob Burg - a short business metaphor book, I assume.
25. Instant Influence - Michael Pantalon - easily persuaded to read this.
26. The Power of Habit - Charles Duhigg - expect it to take 7 weeks to read
27. Leaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek - I need more leadership reading, I believe.
28. Comedy Writing Secrets - Mel Helitzer - ...and always need humor brush-ups as well.
29. Dave's Way - Dave Thomas - why not? Can I read it while eating a Baconator?
30. The Alchemist - Paulo Cuelho - shocked I haven't read this yet, actually.
31. The Attitude Check - Heath Suddleson - I bet if he sent me a signed copy I'd read it faster and review it here on Speak & Deliver :)
32. Dirty Little Secrets - Sharon Drew Morgen - this one too...(she didn't send me a copy, but I read it anyway.
33. How Successful People Think Differently - Akash Karia
34. Ted:ology - Akash Karia, Michelle Mazur - Akash is a prolific author, and it's time I spend some effort reading his work, and seeing what his ideas are, and how they can help my audience.
35. The Boy Behind the Gate - Larry Jacobson - another book I'd love to see come in the mail, wink wink.
36. Life of Pi - Yann Martel - enjoyed the movie, but everyone says the book is better.
37. Unstoppable - Nick Vujucic - been on my list a long time, actually.
38. The Barefoot Executive - Carrie Wilkerson - I've read the kindle, but want to listen to it and her dulcet, southern tones.
39. Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook - Gary Vaynerchuck - loved Crush It - and Gary is a great reader, and often adds more to his audio books than what's in the printed edition.
40. Living an Exceptional Life - Jim Rohn - always worth a listen.
Talent is Never Enough Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn - John Maxwell - back before I got involved with speaking, I bought a Maxwell book in preparation to become a manager. Since then, I've read nothing else from him. That changes this year.
42. Little Green Book of Getting Your Way - Jeffrey Gitomer - on Audible, most likely.
43. Decisive - Chip & Dan Heath - listening to this now, actually, at least earlier today, at the gym.
44. The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz - long on my list.
45. Drive - Daniel Pink - next one cued up on Audible
Audio Programs to Listen or Re-Listen to in 2014
46. Speaker Machine – Rick Butts/Felicia Slattery - with lifetime access, why not?
47. Wisdom Thesis - Rick Butts - see above.
48. Own the Stage - Darren LaCroix/Craig Valentine - worth a second look, always pumps me up.
49. How to Build a Keynote by Next Week - Darren LaCroix/Patricia Fripp - sharpen the saw. How to
50. Outline, Design, and Deliver a Dynamic Sales Presentation - Patricia Fripp - newly acquired, and looking forward to it.
51. Mastering Your Speech - Lance Miller - probably need to watch this before seeing him at the training later this month.
52. Create Your Killer Keynote - Craig Valentine - more keynote info to just keep getting better.
53. Lady and the Champs 2013 - Various - about halfway through this.
54. Get More Laughs - Darren LaCroix - you can never laugh enough.
Extra Books & Programs Added on the Fly
55. The Media Training Bible - Brad Phillips - getting interviewed more in 2014 is a goal
56. Speaker Leader Champion - Ryan Avery & Jeremey Donovan - just cause I'm curious
