My thoughts on the customer experience are very straightforward.
If you aren't offering something that someone else isn't offering (ie you have a monopoly) the only way you can differentiate or compete is by making it easy for customers to do business with you in a repeatable and consistent fashion.
This is exactly where retail have it all wrong and are suffering at the hands of the e-Commerce industry.
I could go into a large department store, fight traffic, get parking, walk through hundreds of people to buy my stuff, then wait for a person who knows nothing about the product to help me, then check out and get home OR I could go online, read other customers reviews and one click order from the comfort of my lounge room in my underpants without any of the above. The only issue is that of delay of fulfilment, but most customers don't need a new pair of shoes, or a DVD player TODAY, so it's not really an issue in retail.
One is easy, the other is hard and the way this applies to the IT industry is that we all too often make it too difficult for customers to do business with us both initially and in a repeat fashion.
There are a number of ways we can improve the customer service experience, but I'm going to focus on the issues and on two products which are awesome and I really enjoy working with that improve that customer service experience.
The first issue for mine is non-integrated service portals – I hate these with a passion; a separately maintained username and password onto a portal which is usually not well designed and doesn't allow customers to do key tasks. I'm looking at you here Connectwise, you know what I'm talking about! But luckily, the solution is already here and it's called DeskDirector (www.deskdirector.com) – I've been doing some testing with this product and it, in one word, is awesome.
It's basically a replacement for the Connectwise service portal (which you probably already give access to your customers to) that does a number of great things to improve that user experience for customers and make it easier for them to do business with you.
First, it's AD integrated to the CLIENTS Active Directory, you just put their domain SID into a portal and then the users automatically authenticate with their own Active Directory username and password and even better, if the client doesn't exist as a contact in Connectwise and they try and use the portal, this will actually CREATE them as a contact in Connectwise! That's actually a really simple thing, but it's really great because often you won't have clients details for a call back or something like that, plus you can track who logs tickets and for what.
Second, it's a client side application installed with a easy installation on clients PCs, particularly easy if you use something like Labtech to roll it out but the reason that clients want to use it is because it includes a raft of user training built into the product and the ability for you to provide training to customers is what will drive the client side adoption of the product without having the "oh no, not another thing for me to use to interact with my service provider!" discussion. The training is customisable and you can provide your own training material on a global or specific per company basis – the other advantage of this is that if a client can find the answer to the problem before contacting you, then you'll save costs on servicing that customer. But mostly, the client is happier because they can pull training and information they need whenever they want it to help themselves.
Third, there's a raft of features I love which enable the customer to interact in a simple and consistent fashion. These are:
1. A very user friendly wizard driven way of logging a ticket (including adding screenshots etc very easily) which can automatically assign service types into Connectwise or put the ticket onto different Connectwise boards. Also the ability to see all active tickets for a company including timeline and interactions with your organisation
2. The ability for a specific user at a client site, if they are added to a particular group (that you manage in Connectwise) to be able to either have all of their tickets logged as a priority 1 or 2 OR have the ability to 'fast-track' particular tickets that might not look important at first glance but actually are (ie a single PC not working might not be important, unless that person is the payroll person and today is pay day!)
3. The ability for clients to see all invoices issued to them from Connectwise (if given the permission) so they can self service their own invoices taking the pressure off your account management/finance team if a client wants to see an old invoice.
4. The ability for clients to see "Recommendations" which are basically Opportunities in Connectwise and flag them for review (or really just say they want to buy them!) along with being able to see the quote if you have Quosal and are using Order Porter.
5. The ability for clients (if they have the permission) to see tickets in the "On Hold – Awaiting Client Approval" status and approve the ticket – no more billing or security problems when a client says they didn't approve for work to be done
6. If you want to provide the feature of 'chat' with your engineers, there is also the ability for clients to chat with engineers and your engineers to see the ticket they're chatting about and enter the notes from the chat directly into Connectwise from the chat application installed on your engineers PC. In my mind, this would replace the chat agent that Connectwise are selling which is kind of expensive anyway.
Anyway, that's enough about Desk Director, but take my word for it, it is truly awesome and I can't wait to get this rolled out to our customers so they can experience the power. It's not that expensive and well worth a look, the guys will set it up for you and you can test drive the power of it.
The second issue I have ugly reports. That's a pretty blunt term, but clients want to know what's going on with their network and with their service tickets and they want to do that in an easily understood fashion that can be given to a non technical executive and they can at a glance see what's occuring. I spoke a little in my last blog post about experience scores which I think is where the industry needs to move to but while that's being built out you have to provide some sort of Managed Services Report to clients who you're working with.
Generally the reports coming out of RMM and PSA tools are disparate, and, well, ugly. I've seen a lot of them, used a lot of them, and even as a technical person sometimes the content is not easily understood even if you know what you're looking at.
The guys at BrightGauge ((www.brightgauge.com)) have a excellent piece of software that pulls information out of Connectwise, Labtech, Kaseya, Autotask and GFI Max and consolidates that into a online, fully customisable, drill down, gauge driven report that both looks awesome and demonstrates value to your clients for the services you're delivering. It's a major differentiator if your competitors are still issuing the tired old reports that have a lot of words, but don't really say anything. It's also dirt cheap for what it does, if you don't already have it, seriously – go and sign up now, they have no contracts and when we've needed their support they've been very forthcoming with it.
For mine, the next iteration should be that the guys from BrightGauge talk to the guys at Desk Director and have Desk Director be able to deliver the reports directly down to the client desktop without requiring another portal. It would be especially cool if a client could run their own reports, on their own timelines directly from Desk Director. More than one portal.. is too many portals – but if you're reducing 3 portals to 2, then you're at least going in the right direction!
Both of these products solve a number of difficult problems with giving clients granular, understandable access to the value you deliver for your Managed Services clients and I can highly recommend both of them for streamlining and improving the customer experience.
My major point for this post is that clients are expecting to be able to pull information on their timeline without necessarily needing to interact with you and your staff or wait for a reporting period to come around so they can see what's going on with their networks. Anything you can to do give that information in a consistent and concise fashion will add value to the customer experience and make it easier for them to do business with you which will drive improvements in profitability, customer retention and customer satisfaction for you.

Hurricane Dean Pounds Caribbean
Tropical Storm Dean Speeds Up
(4:30 p.m.) -- Hurricane Dean, now a Category Four hurricane with winds in the 145-mile-per-hour range, is moving westward at 17 m.p.h. and Jamaica is still in its direct path. A hurricane watch remains in effect for the Cayman Islands and parts of Haiti (which means that hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours).
Cruise lines, with one notable exception, have pretty much rerouted ships that, embarking this weekend, had planned to sail seven-night itineraries to the Western Caribbean . The exception? It strikes us as highly unusual that Royal Caribbean has not yet announced changes to Freedom of the Seas' cruise this week, which departs Sunday from Miami and is headed smack into the middle of places most likely impacted (Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel). The cruise line notes its next announcement will come on Monday at 1 p.m.; we'll provide updates then.
We'll also be reporting Monday on changes, if necessary, to short cruise itineraries that had been planned for Monday (or Tuesday) departures. So stay tuned.
Damage to islands like St. Lucia, Martinique and St. Kitts was reportedly not as severe as expected; check back Monday for a more comprehensive report on the aftermath of Hurricane Dean.
Specifically, here's the latest on itinerary changes:
This Just In!
Princess Cruises
Caribbean Princess, due to sail a Western Caribbean itinerary from Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, has swapped regions and will now call at ports in the Eastern Caribbean. The schedule calls for a stop at Princess Cays on Monday; at sea on Tuesday; St. Maarten, Wednesday; St. Thomas, Thursday; and sea days on Friday and Saturday before returning to Ft. Lauderdale.
Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival Destiny departed from San Juan on August 12. Instead of visiting Antigua today (August 17) as originally scheduled, the ship will spend a sea day chugging north to Tortola, where it will arrive on Saturday for a 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. call. Carnival Destiny will then return to San Juan on August 19 as scheduled.
Carnival Miracle departed from New York on August 15. Originally scheduled to call on August 18 in San Juan, August 19 in St. Thomas and August 20 in Tortola, the ship will now stop in Grand Turk from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 18, in Half Moon Cay from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on August 19, and Nassau from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on August 20.
Carnival Triumph, August 18 departure from Miami. The ship will visit San Juan, St. Thomas, Half Moon Cay and Nassau instead of Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica (Ocho Rios) as first scheduled.
Carnival Imagination, August 18 departure from Miami. The ship will visit Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. The original itinerary was Grand Cayman and Jamaica (Ocho Rios).
Carnival Inspiration, August 18 departure from Miami. The ship will visit Nassau and Freeport instead of Grand Cayman and Calica.
Holiday, August 18 departure from Mobile. Freeport and Key West have replaced the original itinerary of Costa Maya and Cozumel.
Carnival Legend, August 19 departure from Tampa. The ship will visit Key West, Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk. The original itinerary was Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya.
Carnival Valor, August 19 departure from Miami. The ship will visit Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten instead of Grand Cayman, Isla Roatan, Belize and Costa Maya as originally scheduled.
This Just In!
Carnival Conquest, August 19 departure from Galveston. The ship will still call at Grand Cayman and Cozumel as scheduled but will bypass Montego Bay.
Carnival Fantasy, August 20 departure from New Orleans. The ship will visit Key West (instead of Costa Maya) and Cozumel.
Carnival Fascination, August 20 departure from Miami. The ship will visit Key West and Nassau (instead of Calica).
Carnival Ecstasy, August 20 departure from Galveston. The ship will visit Cozumel as scheduled, but will not be visiting Progeso as originally planned.
Royal Caribbean
Enchantment of the Seas will depart from Ft. Lauderdale's Port Everglades on Saturday -- as scheduled -- but the itinerary has been revised. The ship will call at Labadee, Haiti on Monday and Nassau on Wednesday before returning to Port Everglades on Thursday as planned.
The Galveston-based Rhapsody of the Seas will still depart on Sunday, but its itinerary is modified. It will call at Key West on Tuesday, Grand Cayman on Thursday and Cozumel on Friday before returning to Galveston.
Editor's Note: As the storm relates to this cruise in particular, there could be more changes based on disruption and damage caused by Dean; stay tuned.
So far, there are no changes to Freedom of the Seas' Western Caribbean cruise, departing from Miami on Sunday. But -- as with Rhapsody of the Seas' planned itinerary -- this could change.
Other cruise lines offering Caribbean voyages this weekend include NCL and Disney; so far none have posted any changes. We'll update frequently, as necessary, so stay tuned.

Orlin Baev is a Bulgarian transpersonal psychologist who writes about sacred sexuality. Here are two essays from his E-book entitled TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY. SACRED SEXUALITY.
As a representative of the male sex, I experience sexuality through the body of a male individual. All that is said for sex by now concerns both men and women. However, there are differences in experiencing sex by both sexes. During the ordinary intercourse, mainly the man releases power, and the woman accepts it. The accent of the man is on the releasing of power, which brings him pleasure, and the accent of the woman is on the acceptance of this power, which brings her pleasure and safety - these are most frequently unconscious processes, of course. The woman obtains attention, power and joy in a concentrated form, and gives man her warm, tender love and power. If we take a mere economical look at all this, however, the percentage of mutual-exchange is about 70/30. The man releases 70% from his expansive "fiery" power, and obtains only 30% of the mild tender "water" woman's power. Such is the natural mechanism. The sexual intercourse, the way it is understood by nature, aims the creation of children. During the intercourse, the man releases incomparably large quantity of energy, with which he creates a possibility for the woman to get pregnant and in her turn to look after the future human being for nine months.
If the aim of the couple is the creation of a child, the ordinary sexual intercourse is the most natural and beautiful work of the Nature. However, since the intercourse is not only used for the creation of children, conscious efforts are needed for the purposes of its cultivation and canalizing of its energies, so that it to serve for the overall development of the consciousness of the couple.
The woman would rather experience sex from the position of the feelings and naturally associates it with Love. The ordinary orgasms affect women more unnoticeably, but in qualitatively the same way as with men, i.e. they interrupt the love process till unfinished state and evoke unstable moods. Usually, women do not manage to make a connection between her changeable moods and her "normal" orgasms, because this process passes more mildly and implicitly in them. When she masters her orgasm, she increases the power of her experience during sex very much, intensifies her libido, optimizes her hormonal balance, and learns to realize, increase and master the power of her sexual drive by connecting it to Love. Love, experienced during such a mastered intercourse goes even beyond the most powerful falling in love, which she has ever experienced.
As a rule, men experience sex from the position of the sexual drive, the power. Holotropic sexuality evokes harmonic mutual exchange within the couple. The man limits his loss of power through abstention from ejaculation, learns to be sensitive towards the power of his partner and to a deeper mutual-exchange. The harnessed energy makes his consciousness bloom in the deep transpersonal experiences of love and unity.
Within the couple that practices holotropic sexuality, the energy exchange passes harmonically - 50%/50%. The mastered orgasm develops the sensitiveness and the power of the couple to unknown for them height.
Holotropic means "directed towards the whole". In this sense "Holotropic Sexuality" means connecting our primary drives with our higher cognition.
All kinds of occult literature came out in Bulgaria in the middle of 1990s, including books on sexual sublimation. The libido is a mighty power. In essence, it is the only power we possess. Sexual power manifests qualitatively and quantitatively through the filter of our thoughts and feelings and materializes in our behavior. Sexual power is human energy, his/her vitality. It is the vibration that gives power and will to live and create. It makes a man to fall in love with a woman, and the woman to strive towards the man, it moves and inspires the writer's pen and the painter's brush. It makes intellect clear, bright and insightful and intuition powerful and deep. This power gives life and youth to everyone who possesses it. Its presence means youth and joy, its absence - old age and sickness. The wise men say that at birth each one acquires a definite vitality, which determines his/her longevity and prosperity in life. They claim that there are individuals who can keep and develop this power so that the process of getting old can be overcome. This is some kind of internal alchemy. Happy is the individual who can preserve even in his/her old age vitality enough to keep his/her mind, intellect and feelings healthy and working! The mental energy is the foundation of all human virtues bringing happiness and harmony to the individual and society. Behind Love, Patience, Humility, Joy, Quiet Mind, Self-Confidence, Courage, Kindness and Humanity, Selflessness and Freedom of Spirit, behind Brotherhood and Compassion, behind all intellectual achievements and the light of human Wisdom there stands the Internal Power. If the individual or society loses part of this power or degrades its quality, the inevitable result is losing all qualities, characterizing mankind as such and in the first and most important place, Joy, Joy of Life. And since Nature does not tolerate emptiness, when one debases his/her internal power as a result of disharmonious way of life, feelings and thoughts, an abyss opens wide within him/her, filling in quickly with characteristics, feelings and thoughts that are contrary in nature. An obvious example is the society we are living in, filled with terror, hate, aggression and cruelty, greed and selfishness, despair and depression, anxiety, limited thinking and ignorance. How can one control the urge of his/her impulses and cultivate his/her sexual power so that it fuels the advance and development of his/her spiritual power? In the usual case, one is completely controlled by his/her impulses - immediately after irritation he/she urges to satisfy them and get free from the tension. But, exactly this tension can lead him/her through the river of oblivion; make him/her crack the nutshell of ignorant blind and limited existence so that he/she to be born again as a True man and a Universal citizen. I am speaking metaphorically and literally. Love and Will, which at conscious human level are unified, in this case, they manifest themselves as the polarities of lust and hate, libido and mortido, sexual and aggressive impulses, as psychology defines them.
Psychologists know well that libido power is the foundation of all human manifestations - from the most basic to the highest ones. Suppression of this power leads to progressive mental disorders, psychopathologies, perversions, neuroses and psychoses. Giving out to the libido impulses also leads directly to degradation of the quality of one's emotional and cognitive life, of his/her ability to love, think and anticipate, to feel joy and enlightened consciousness; it leads to brutalization and mental weakness (psychastenia)! How then that sexual power to be mastered if both suppression and giving out to its impulses lead to devastation? How can a conscious human being react, when striving towards self-knowledge, development of his/her cognitive abilities, creative impulses and love? My personal painful experience of devotion to both extremities has taught me that neither suppression and denial of that power, nor complete surrender to its impulses is the optimal attitude towards it. The process that succeeds in channeling and mastering this power so that to serve the development and progress of our souls is called Sublimation. Sublimation is a term known from chemistry and physics, where a substance turns from solid into gas state under high pressure and temperature. The term is introduced in modern psychology by Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung and it, like many other terms of theirs, has penetrated semantically into every language on Earth. Synonyms of sublimation are:
- Transformation
Spiritual Graft - Grafting (the Master Beinsa Douno and the Master Michail Ivanov)
Reframing (a term of the Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Transfiguration (a religious term)
The last two terms: Transmutation and Metamorphosis are superb equivalents of an advanced sublimation, which brings forth processes known to Transpersonal Psychology as Samadhi, awakening...
Ten years ago, after reading the books on Tao Yoga by the American citizen of Chinese origin Mantak Chia, as well as some Tantric methods, I began actively to test and practice the methods, described in those books - micro and macro orbit, inner smile, bone and skin breathing, merging of the five elements, sperm-and-ovum Cung Fu, formation of the inner pearl and its formation into a body of light... I can't claim that during these ten years I have advanced much in these methods - but I do not stop trying. The purely Chinese approach of very specific, too detailed description and mapping of the steps of the alchemical process is a practical key, which can be used by each school for inner development. As Kabala, and particularly the Tree of Life, is a universal key, which can unlock the doors to understanding each esoteric school, so the practices of Tao and Hindu Yoga are practically a master-key to the doors of inner self-knowledge, which is the aim of all transpersonal psychological systems. In the beginning the practices correspond to a budding consciousness and are psycho-physical methods. Later on, when these methods are mastered and automated, the practices raise to a higher psycho-spiritual level, where the role of intuition, abilities to pray, visualize, concentrate, meditate and contemplate is enormous.
Physical Technique for Sexual Sublimation
The physical technique for sexual sublimation (sexual grafting) consists of wilful mastering of orgasm during sexual act and its redirecting from the lower centers towards the brain and subsequent descending again to the lower centers. In other words, the above mentioned sublimation and condensation is practiced. Sublimation of the power of the instinctive drive to love and light, followed by their condensation and getting back to their impulsive basis, which is thus mastered and cultivated. At the purely physical level the process consists of drawing of the pressure from the lower centers towards the brain with the help of certain muscular contractions, deep breathing in with the upper part of the lungs, directing the eyes upwards between the eye-brows and the top of the head, and focusing of the attention upwards. Supposedly, one who tries these techniques should have certain experience in the theory and practice of the sciences about the mind, be able to concentrate, feel his/her inner energy, and has practiced breathing and meditation. The main instrument of directing the energy of orgasm towards the top of the head is attention and thinking. After some period of practice, it is enough just to draw attention towards the top of the head, looking upwards and breathing in lightly, in order to redirect the energy. But, if one is not experienced, the main factor for stopping the discharge of sperm and directing this energy inwards and upwards, are the muscle contractiosn and deep breathing in. The muscle lockages are a method in yoga called badhas, while in Tao Yoga they are called pumps. In Hindu Yoga this method is called bandha traya, triple lockage, and in Tao practice - the triple pump.
The Triple Bandhas:
- Mulla Bandha - contraction of the muscles of the buttocks and the perineum
Udiana Bandha - contraction or sucking inward of the diaphragm
Jalandhara Bandha - contraction of the larynx together with the muscles of the neck with chin down.
A Brief Description of the Practice:
We are making sex with our beloved. We feel that just a little while longer and orgasm could not be controlled in no way. We stop the sperm discharge through pullingg the power, but we experience complete orgasm - this is when 95-99% of the "normal" orgasm has been accomplished. We stop penetration and go out of our beloved. We feel that though we are out, the energy continues to rush down and if we don't do something, the semen, or tigle as the Tibetans call it, will flow out. The next elements that we do simultaneously are the following:
- We direct our fully concentrated attention towards the top of the head. This is the most important element of the technique and in the course of time when the process gets more and more automated, this remains the only thing we need do in order to redirect the pressure upwards. The power of orgasm violently draws the attention down so that it is important to have steady, determined and strong concentration!
- We direct the eyes up between the eye-brows and the inner vision towards the top of the head - in the course of practice, it turns out that the energy follows the mind, and the eyes are direct manifestation of mind (thinking). Directing them to a certain point leads to flowing of the energy into that direction.
- We deeply inhale once with the middle and upper part of the chest. Usually yoga techniques recommend deep abdominal breathing, but in this practice a quick, comparatively deep and directing the energy upwards inward breathing is required. When we breathe-in and keep the air in, the energy automatically goes up, incited by the process of inner passion, nurtured by breathing. When we get short of breath, we exhale and breathe in again, meanwhile performing also the rest of the technique, until we master the orgasm.
- We do bandha traya, triple lock - it is especially important at the beginning of learning the technique and always when we have come too close to releasing the semen. Let us describe in detail the three bandhas, which we perform at one and the same time:
- Mulla Bandha - we strongly contract the muscles of the buttocks and perineum. For information, the muscles of the perineum are those that can suspend urinating by will. Then we relax and contract again at intervals of one to three seconds together with the other two bandhas. The pressure is sensibly rushed upwards.
Udiana Bandha - while we have inhaled, concentrated the attention and the eyes upward, together with mulla bandha, we rhythmically and strongly contract the muscles of the abdomen as if we are doing crunches - powerfully and strongly. The difference from the crunch is that this practice is done with inhaled air. This is a modification of the original udiana bandha, which is done with exhaled air and sucking the diaphragm in. Here, as we have mentioned, we firstly breathe in quickly and deeply, and afterwards we practice the bandha without sucking the abdomen wall in, but contracting it. We pulsate simultaneously with mulla bandha.
Jalandhara Bandha - together with breathing-in, concentrating the attention and eyes upwards, and performing the other two bandhas, we lower the chin inwards toward the throat well, we swallow and keep the swallower and the larynx shut, i.e. we fix them in a swallowing position, without releasing, and contract in pulsation, together with the pulsations of the other two bandhas, the muscles of the throat and the back side of the neck. The contraction should be again energetic and strong.
During the practice we might need aid the process and together with the bandhas, the inhalation, the concentration of the attention and eyes upwards, we contract also the muscles of the legs, the fists and the jaws.
While inhaling, the eyes and attention are immovably fixed - the breathing-in with extended chest, the attention and the eyes looking towards the top of the head, bandha traya is practiced with strong and even pulsations, which force the energy upwards and inwards.
Attention: if we have reached too close to the moment of releasing tigle (the semen), the moment of passing from inhibition in one of the pulsations to relaxing and next pulsation may be fatal for the semen releasing. That is why, in such cases, you deeply breathe in, relentlessly directing the look and eyes upwards and perform bandha traya without pulsations once and prolonged, intensively for about ten seconds, until the orgasm is under control. Then breathing gets to normal.
The control over ejaculation leads to much more joy in the act and experiencing a sequence of orgasms, as well as to keeping an orgasm for a couple of minutes. ....

But no one really gives a hoot what commercial programmers such as yourself do. Your belief that LGPLed software contains cooties is your problem, not ours. I'm sure there may also be programmers who believe that the BSD license causes Ebola, but I don't foresee /that/ irrational fear influencing the licensing discussion, either. Incidentally, your arguments about proprietary vs. commercial software would be more compelling if you were capable of keeping the difference between the LGPL and the GPL straight for more than 5 minutes at a time. Very clever smokescreen that is, insisting on arguing about the dangers of a license that's not under consideration. Steve Langasek postmodern programmer

Make me want to believe that every person is not like the ones who have come into our lives being friends, and left us all alone;
cheated, defeated and making a joke out of our trust in them.
Which is why, when the salesman at the store today, made a small gesture of
putting us in a different section of the store where only
special billings are done,
saving us the tedious waiting at the long, long billing counters,
I thanked him
and added a "God bless you." spontaneously.
The smile on his face showed he was touched too.
Yes, I believe in the higher power.
He will give back what he has taken.
He will return every deed done ... to Him and to us.
Just like this mango chutney my Ma in law makes.
And this is very different from the Bengali Aamer chaatni.

Turner Falls beautiful any time of year
Boredom makes folks do funny things. Some drink, some take up interior decorating and some will actually read books for entertainment. There are a few other things to do, but not many.
This is how I wound up at Turner Falls Park.
February is normally a strange time to go hiking, but not in Oklahoma.
I decided I had to take advantage of the 74-degree weekend and go outside. Unfortunately, I was not the only one with this brilliant idea.
Turner Falls Park, as it turns out, is beautiful.
I had been to the Sulphur area dozens of times, but I had never seen this side of Oklahoma. Aside from all the dormant trees, it looked like paradise.
High hills and granite cliffs bank the hiking trails on both sides. At times, I felt like I was trekking through Middle Earth. Just when I started to feel complete oneness with nature, my gaze would stumble onto a group of giggling people with their phones on selfie sticks.
I was able to ignore it for short bursts. If I held my hand up in just the right way, I was able to see a majestic waterfall without noticing the skinny man posing with the selfie stick right in front of it.
As I wandered around, I spotted a squirrel. I carefully took out my bag of Cheez-Its and fed them to the majestic critter. I tossed them far away at first, then closer and closer until he was taking them right out of my hand. I did this in the middle of a crowd. Nobody noticed. They were taking selfies.
Another surprising element of Turner Falls is the trails.
These aren't what I'd call handicap-accessible. Some of these areas were extremely hard to reach without snapping an ankle. None of the steep hills had hand rails. I loved that part. The harder the climb is, the fewer kids you'll have to see at the top.
Aside from the crowds, Turner Falls is an awesome destination and a boredom annihilator.
One thing scares me, though. If it is this crowded in February, what is it like in June?

Procrit is the brand name of the prescription drug epoetin alfa, which is a man-made version of a naturally present protein in the body that helps your body produce red blood cells.
The drug is used to treat anemia (low red blood cell count) in people with chronic kidney failure.
It's also used in cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy, and in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who take AZT or Retrovir (zidovudine).
Sometimes, Procrit is given before or after surgery to lower a patient's risk of needing a blood transfusion.
Procrit belongs to a class of drugs known as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). It works by helping the bone marrow make more red blood cells.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Procrit in 1989. It's manufactured by Janssen Products.
Procrit contains a black-box warning because it can increase your risk of developing blood clots that affect the legs, lungs, or brain.
This risk affects all people who take Procrit, even if you receive it before or after surgery to reduce your risk of needing a blood transfusion.
Procrit shouldn't be used to lower the risk of a blood transfusion after surgery if you're undergoing a procedure on your heart or blood vessels, or if you're able to donate your own blood before the procedure.
Tell your doctor if you've ever had a stroke or heart disease before taking Procrit.
Alert your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms while taking Procrit:
Procrit contains another black-box warning because it can put you at higher risk for a stroke or heart problems when the medicine is used to raise the amount of protein in your red blood cells to a normal or near-normal level.
Call your doctor right away if you experience:
The medicine also contains a black-box warning to alert people with cancer about certain risks.
In clinical studies, some cancer patients who received Procrit died earlier or had their cancer return, spread, or grow sooner than those who didn't receive the medicine.
People with cancer should receive the lowest possible dose of Procrit to treat their condition.
You should only take Procrit alongside chemotherapy if you'll be receiving chemo for two months or longer. Procrit should be stopped when your course of chemotherapy ends.
Due to the risks of taking Procrit along with chemotherapy, your doctor will need to enroll in a program and complete specific training before treating you with Procrit for this purpose.
Before taking Procrit, tell your doctor if you have, or have ever had, any of the following:
Your doctor will want to test your blood and check your blood pressure often while you receive Procrit. Keep all appointments with your healthcare provider and laboratory.
Be sure to tell your doctor you're taking Procrit before having any type of surgery, including a dental procedure.
Procrit is made from human plasma, which may contain viruses or other infectious agents. There is a small chance that it could give you an infectious disease as a result. Talk to your doctor about this potential risk.
It may take two to six weeks or longer before you experience the full benefits of Procrit. Don't stop taking this medicine without first talking to your doctor.
It's not known whether Procrit can harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you're pregnant, or might become pregnant, before receiving this medicine.
Some women may start having menstrual periods while taking Procrit, even if they haven't had a period for a while due to a medical condition.
If your period restarts, you can get pregnant. Talk to your doctor about effective birth control methods.
It's also not known whether Procrit passes into breast milk or could harm a breastfeeding baby. Talk to your doctor before breastfeeding while taking this drug.
Procrit multi-dose vials contain a preservative that may be harmful to babies. Pregnant women and mothers who breastfeed shouldn't use this form of the drug.
Tell your doctor if any of the following side effects become severe or don't go away:
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the symptoms listed in the Warnings section above, or any of the following serious side effects:
Tell your doctor about all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking while receiving Procrit.
Procrit may cause seizures. Use caution when driving or performing any type of activity that requires you to be alert.
Procrit is injected under the skin, or into a vein through an IV. It's typically injected one to three times a week.
If it's being used before surgery to reduce the risk of needing a blood transfusion, Procrit is sometimes injected once a day for 10 days before the procedure, on the day of surgery, and for four days afterwards.
But it may be injected just once a week for three weeks before the surgery, and then on the day of surgery.
The medicine may be given by a doctor or nurse, or you may be shown how to self-inject Procrit. You can also have a family member or caregiver administer the drug.
Follow your doctor's instructions carefully when giving yourself Procrit. Don't take more or less of the drug than is prescribed.
You can inject Procrit into the outer area of your upper arms, the middle of the front thighs, your stomach area, or the outer area of the buttocks.
Don't inject the medicine into an area of the skin that's tender, red, bruised, or hard. Also, avoid spots with scars or stretch marks.
Try to choose a new location each time you inject Procrit.
If you're on dialysis, your doctor may tell you to inject Procrit into your venous access port. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
Don't take the medicine if it has particles in it or has changed color. If this happens, call your doctor for a new prescription.
Don't shake the bottle of Procrit before using it.
Signs of a Procrit overdose may include:
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at 800-222-1222.
Talk to your doctor about what to do if you miss a dose of Procrit.
Don't double up on doses to make up for a missed one.

Wyatt's first fish
I've taken my son, Wyatt, fishing several times already with my various tenkara/keiryu rods. Today he was actually patient enough and cooperative enough for the killer bug to do its trick.
Caught a nice bluegill with his Kosasa 150 on ~3.5' of 3.5LL and 2' of 5X.
He was so happy about it. I hadn't even caught anything yet at that point, but later got a cute crappie with my kiyotaki.

The early nineties. The pack thunders over the asphalt. In the distance you can see the finish. There's a new kid in town, with his white metal horse. He nudges anyone who dares to come close. He is on familiar ground. In his slipstream you only observe sheets of paper, dust and leaves. He sits up straight, straightens his green jersey, cheers and wins! He won the Tour de France 9 x, he won the Vuelta a España 7x and the Giro d'Italia 1 x. He won the green jersey 3x and the point classification in both others tours 1 x. The cowboy of Tasjkent.

To What are Americans Entitled? OpEdNews Headlined Sun 1/31/15
Not a Day Goes By, that I don't remember how Watergate had So Many People shocked to discover American presidents, like Communist dictators, maintained hit lists – and still we're shocked that cutting costs, at the expense of the health of children, can result in their city water supply being poisoned by its state government.
Can we all join Mona Hanna-Attisha, Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton and Andrea Miller in, Not While I'm Around?
Not a Day Goes By, that I don't wonder how conservatives insist patriotism is emancipation from the federal government, while drowning America in too many Food Deserts, too few school nurses and too little awareness of how many lead water pipes exist, undisclosed, from sea to shining sea.
Denial is a terrible disease for a nation, or people, because Children Will Listen.
Take Me to the World, where assuming earth's resources are limitless, and overconsuming our constitutional right, and I'll show you a Good Thing Going, going, gone. Anyone Can whistle, My Country tis of Thee while occupying Oregon, Congress or even Governors' mansions, but must 47% of us vote like Sooner or Later never comes?
Not a Day Goes By with peace on earth if in our past, we have already left behind our children's future. On Main Street or behind the wall of The Street, No One is Alone in failing to be responsible adults accountable for our greatest infrastructure: children.
Maybe not Everybody Ought to have a Maid, but imagine We Built That CEOs taking the road less traveled by.
Not a Day Goes By, without my pondering why America has transformed from Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley to, over the top Steve Kornacki, condescending Luke Russert and know-it-all Chuck Todd – but Send in the Clowns: Glenn Beck, Matt Lauer and Bill O'Reilly, and the laughs are on us.
Why is it, Not a Day Goes By, without emerging Koch head Governors corrupting our life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with substandard handling practices and Emergency Manager Laws?
There Won't Be Trumpets November 8, 2016 for those who take the elderly Into the Woods, abandoning them to Alzheimer's, and calling it Family Values. We are defined by how we lift up our fellow human beings, for that is the Love I Hear missing through feet of snow, flooding cities, and racial slurs.
Is not Ol' Red, White and Blue Glory, only as exceptional as Flint, Ferguson, Cleveland, Detroit, Harris County Texas, South Florida and the Supreme Court of Wall Street?
From declared independence to slavery, to congressionally inspired Draft Riots, saving the 'Affluenza' Teen Ethan Couch types from being bloodied by war – not a single day, is American harmony limited to one Francis Scott Key.
From the Harlem Renaissance to 9/11, America is those who first respond by voting; those standing up for equality in the face of a Nixon used and Trump abused silent majority chanting for an imperfect work in progress to recapture its greatness in reruns of Father Knows Best about Gunsmoke.
Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for people like, immediate past Chair of Albemarle County Virginia Board of Supervisors, Jane Dittmar, who campaigns for Congress to Get Connected to We the People, rather than descend to depths of Buckingham County supervisors' choice to entangle its constituency in the octopus of Methane Gas pipelines.
America is as complex as our Native, African, Latin, Asian, European immigrant Her & History, and as potentially tragic as West Side Story. So now is never the time to right step our way into a Sweeny Todd nation, cutting out All Things Bright and Beautiful.
America, You Could Drive a Person Crazy, but whether Sunday in the Park with George or Poor Thing, we must remain Together wherever we go!

There has been ongoing concern over the safety of children using the crosswalks at Ocean Beach Elementary School located at 4741 Santa Monica Avenue.
The school is situated between two busy intersections on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, at Newport and Santa Monica avenues.
"My kids don't even go to school here anymore," said Wayne Simard, the lead volunteer crossing guard. "I'm just a concerned community member volunteering because basically what I want is safety for the kids.... It's a constant struggle, but I'm always out here, Monday through Friday, 7:15 to 8:00 a.m."
He's been helping kids cross the street safely for nearly seven years, in a crosswalk that took nearly three years to have installed.
"People are still blowing through and speeding too much," he added.
Mandy Havlik, a concerned parent, organized a "Traffic Safety Awareness Campaign" that was held on November 3rd of last year in front of the school. She aimed to encourage local community members to abide by the existing traffic safety laws and to donate to her campaign to purchase safety equipment, including hand-held stop signs, safety vests, and traffic safety signs for the six crosswalks and the area around the school perimeter.
Her efforts — as well as those of Simard and other concerned parents — paid off when, on November 30, mainstream media picked up the story, highlighting the dangers of speeding and distracted drivers at the intersections surrounding the school.
The following day, council representative Conrad Wear from Lori Zapf's office contacted Simard after seeing the broadcast and discussed safety improvements with him. In the meantime, over the Christmas break, Simard purchased four body-cams for the crossing guards.
"From now on, all of the crossing guards at OB Elementary will be wearing a body-cam," wrote Simard on a private Facebook page.
"I let [the school] know about the body-cams prior to and after I purchased them," Simard told me. "I did it for our protection because there have been a few incidents where people have accused us of doing minor things that we have not done…video never lies."
Simard's mission to keep children safe hasn't always been wholly accepted by the school's administration. In October of 2017, he was at odds with the principal after he "took down" a transient who had exposed himself near the school.
"I didn't hurt him or anything — I just took him down and tried to call 911. They didn't answer, so I had to let the guy go," he told me at the time. "The school liaison police officer came to me and told me that the principal wanted him to convey that message to me — I can't run off homeless people [and] I can't ask people to slow down on this street…but I care very little about politics and how things look…what I want is safety for the kids."

Thumbs 👍🏻Up for Mr. Simard! Not only for your efforts in regards to the safety of our kids. But also for not listening to the school Principal.
The sidewalks and streets are public property, and for that matter the school is too when you think about it. You go ahead and yell at and remind those drivers to slow down. It only takes a split second for a tragedy to happen.
And while a homeless person has just as much right to the sidewalk as you do, if they are committing a crime, like indecent exposure (314.1 Cal Penal Code) do your duty, as any decent citizen would, and make a citizen's arrest.
Maybe the Principal is more interested in his pension than the safety of the kids leaving the school and that's a real shame. I suspect every parent expects school officials to protect their children, and not ignore criminal behavior.
If this is a typical principal, the highest priority is avoiding anything deemed to be embarrassing. So, if there is some sort of dust-up in front of the school, well, that is embarrassing, and we can't have that. Does this mean the principal would rather have a kid hit by a car? Not exactly, but schools which often claim to want community involvement and assistance really want nothing of the sort.
Notice that Zapf's office got in touch after the media reported on the safety issues. That's what it takes to get the council member to do anything in most instances. But why was it a volunteer who got city attention, and not the school district? Could it be that the slobberin' city and the slobberin' school district don't coordinate or cooperate?
Most school administration is useless. They do not teach or do anything productive other than get in everyone's way.
Like the old saying goes: "I don't hate school; it's the principal of the thing!"
Sounds like the principal needs to be reassigned (to janitorial duty), or fired.
Man, and to think that fifty years ago, fifth graders served as crossing guards where I grew up.

text: The North American version of Demon's Souls will go offline on May 31, publisher Atlus confirmed today, putting an end to the PlayStation 3 game's groundbreaking online multiplayer component. Demon's Souls players will have a chance to say goodbye to their fellow phantoms with two special events planned for the month of May. According to a report from Game Informer, Atlus will hold two special World Tendency events in May, which fans can vote on. Atlus cites the cost of supporting Demon's Souls online servers in its announcement about the closure. "It has been a tremendous honor and privilege for all of our staff at ATLUS to have been involved with so innovative and groundbreaking an interactive entertainment experience," reads a portion of a statement from Atlus VP of sales and marketing Tim Pivnicny. "We poured our heart and soul into every facet of our involvement with Demon's Souls, particularly the title's memorable Deluxe Edition, which served as the only avenue through which to purchase the game's official strategy guide. It was also of the utmost importance for us to sustain the game's online experience as long as possible, even beyond the point at which sales could help to offset the expense. Regrettably, the online servers cannot be sustained forever and now the end draws near." Demon's Souls was originally released in North America on October 6, 2009, giving us a little more than two and a half years in the world of Boletaria. The online action ends on May 31 at 11:59pm PST. Game Informer: Demon's Souls Going Offline End Of May

For some time now we have been struggling to regularly convert leads into sales. It's so frustrating. Our deals are won on a very sporadic basis and we just can't duplicate that one off success into a repeatable process that we can apply to all leads.
In the past we used to make lots of outbound sales calls, but we've stopped doing this now as we just can't reach anyone. If we take a list of all our website registrations and work through the list calling each registration the response we get 99% of the time is that they are 'just looking around' at other options and they aren't in a position to buy at this point in time.
We have a number of opportunities on the table but often these sales deals stall and we just don't know how to reawaken them and move the buyers onto the next stage.
The Next Step
We wouldn't recommend that any small business in the B2B environment should focus their sales resources on every single web registration that comes in. This is not good use of your precious sales resource.
What you do is to focus on leads that are qualified and sales ready – i.e. they might have engaged with your business on social media, opened and clicked on certain marketing emails received, downloaded some interesting collateral that you have produced or filled in an enquiry form.
But how can you monitor and measure this?
Using our proven winning sales and marketing methodology, underpinned by some exceptional marketing automation software, we are able to help smaller businesses measure when a registered visitor has become a qualified sales ready lead or not. The entire journey that a prospect takes is recorded, measured and given a lead engagement score which then indicates to you if they are a 'hot' prospect or not.
This is what helps you develop a consultative sales process that engages with prospects when they're ready, understands their needs and aligns with their buying process.
If you recognise yourself or your own software business here please contact us in the first instance and we will arrange a convenient time with you to have an initial chat about the challenges you are currently facing. Call us on 01536 771440 or register your interest for a free no obligation consultation on our website.

Our Products
I have owned and driven dozens of different types of utes in my time. 2WD, 4WD, Single Cab, Dual Cab, Leaf Spring, Coil Spring, IFS, Solid Axle, Petrol, Diesel and various combinations of everything in between. What I have now in the Superior Engineering Coil-Converted 79 Series Landcruiser is easily the best combination of all the important factors for me. The coil springs and triangulated 4-Link geometry is superior to the factory leaf suspension in so many ways. It allows MUCH more flex which equals a more capable vehicle off-road.
Angus and the team at Superior have been nothing short of exceptional! The quality of work is the BEST in the business. It's not all in the work though, the time spent working with Superior to make sure we got the right set up was fantastic. The coil conversion works extremely well, no matter what I throw at it. Towing the big 7m tinny is an absolute dream with the coils. I'm so happy with the kit that I've opted to have my whole front end re-done by Angus and the team at Superior. I would HIGHLY recommend these boys and their products.
Superior Engineering's coil conversion kit was straight forward and easy to install, Ride comfort and off road performance is incomparable to the leaf spring rear it previously had.
We started a new GU Patrol build as a promotional car for our business. This is the first Nissan we have owned after a Hilux & Landcruiser and Ryan's knowledge and professionalism was second to none. Working together we settled on your 5" Hyperflex kit. Speaking with Ryan and sending through images and measurements he set out to rectify this issue immediately. A quality brand like Superior Engineering can only go so far, it is the people that represent your brand that take it to the next level and Ryan has done this and more. Thank-you once again.

The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Eagle Natural Resources specializes in pairing ultra high net worth individuals with ongoing direct participation investment opportunities for held by production (HBP) properties in proven-producing fields. Whether you are looking for a targeted, tax-advantaged investment or steady cash flow, Eagle opens the door to straight-forward Oil & Gas opportunities.
At Eagle, your Working Interest ownership is deeded directly in your name and is recorded in the corresponding counties of record. All revenue and tax reporting is processed directly by the oil and/or gas purchaser/refinery, which saves you money. Eagle does not charge any ongoing management, processing or transaction fees.
Eagle's acquisition model focuses on proven producing fields with extensive infrastructure, existing wells for immediate cash flow, and upside through additional drilling, recompletion and/or rework operations.
Specifically, Eagle targets financially-distressed energy assets that will benefit immediately from operational improvements paid for with an infusion of capital.
BUY LOW. SELL HIGH. Today's soft oil pricing opens the door to buying quality assets at a fraction of the price seen over the past decade.
Not only are the costs of entry lower, drilling and operating costs have come down just as technological advances that are driving better production have gone up. This provides us with the potential to deliver our investors solid returns today… with stronger revenue potential down the road as pricing rebounds.
Once a property is acquired, Eagle implements a turn-key development plan that quickly and methodically takes advantage of opportunities to increase performance potential. From simple mechanical reworks and replacing old equipment to fracking existing wellbores, our goal is to drive an approximate 200 to 400 percent increase in production through targeted development.
Select proven undeveloped reserve ("PUD") drilling may be done on key leaseholds to help amplify production, boost overall return potential and deliver additional tax advantages.
For existing producing assets, investors typically receive their first revenue check from producing assets within ~90 to 120 days. For new drilling, distributions typically begin ~60 days after a well begins producing.
Long term, you can rest easy knowing that Eagle's management team is overseeing all aspects of operations. Investing alongside you in many cases, Eagle has every incentive to maximize production and revenue potential while controlling costs.
We'd like the opportunity to introduce you to our team, our projects and our processes. To get started, give us a call at (469) 362-5566 or click here to request an investor kit.

My Cannabis and Pregnancy Story
I have had quite a few people reach out to me to ask about cannabis use during pregnancy. I provide the most current research literature and data, review known risks, potential risks, and potential benefits. And then the question floats up – "Have you used cannabis during pregnancy?" To this end, I've decided this article will be partially about me, because inquiring minds want to know. I also feel this is an important piece in the conversation surrounding cannabis and pregnancy.

Last week I bought a few bunches of ranunculus that have been blooming and smiling like crazy. Fresh flowers just make such a difference. We are going to personalize this space a little (more on this soon) but for now the color and attitude of the blooms is dictating so much. Oh, and I took about a million photos of them. Ha. Hope you are into that.

Completely into it.
So pretty–ranunculus are one of my favorite flowers!
One of my favorite flowers! Fluffy perfection.

I am impressed with a primary school I have been working with recently who, despite a massive lack of space in the context of an old building, have really pursued the idea of small flexible spaces that can be used by a range of people at any time. This has largely been achieved through the smart use of clever furniture selection - especially through the provision of a number of small seating areas that can be used in many ways but that also give elements of privacy.
Further than that, they have utilised a room just through from Reception that has almost become a 'living room' domestic type space where lots of activities can happen. The school even refers to it as that. Parents may be there meeting with staff, staff may be using it to prepare, multi agency staff meet there, students may be working in groups, or doing project work there.. approved visitors may wait there or any combination of all of them. Having been there, whilst it may be a bit cluttered, it works!!

An upswing of Myanmar´s Real Estate
House.com.mm, the most useful Burmese real estate platform so far, offers a statistic insight into the details of Myanmar Real Estate. Its various listings show that, for example, the average range of the monthly rental price of condo, range from US$ 1000 to US$ 6700. Likewise, house.com.mm indicates that the buying prices of Condo can vary from US$85,000 to US$650,000 at the moment. Regardless of these super-high prices, the real estate experts presume that the main city will need 800,000 square meter more of office spaces in order to satisfy the need of external investors coming and establishing businesses in Myanmar.
