Soon, the three women's lives intersect against a backdrop of intense, bloody violence. An interesting character study of three troubled protagonists.

New-Slain Knight by Deborah Grabien
Couple Ringan and Penny are looking forward to spending a few weeks of quality time together. Unfortunately, Ringan is enlisted to watch his thirteen-year-old niece, Becca, a promising violinist. They decide to travel to Cornwall for a vacation, staying with Ringan's old friend, Gowan, who is a musician like Ringan. While there, both Penny and Becca start hearing voices and having visions of what looks to be a murder after hearing a folk song. In order for their lives to go back to normal, they must figure out exactly who is trying to communicate with them about deaths that happened centuries ago. New-Slain Knight is the fifth book in Grabien's Haunted Ballads series and reminded me of the ballad mysteries written by Sharyn McCrumb.

The Good Thief's Guide to Amsterdam by Chris Ewan
Charlie Howard is a mystery writer living in Amsterdam who's also a successful thief. An American, Michael Park, contacts him and asks Charlie to steal two small monkey figures. Charlie is hesitant to take the job, but does complete the task. Park is then found nearly beaten to death and the police feel Charlie is the prime suspect. From that point, Charlie tries to find out the real story of the figures--why are they so valuable and why is everyone after them? Interspersed in the story are Charlie's witty conversations with his London literary agent, Victoria. My only problem with the book is that I figured out the secret of the figures way before Charlie--kind of surprising since he lives and writes about crime. I did enjoy the story though.

Die With Me by Elena Forbes
When a teenage girl falls to her death at a church, it first seems like suicide. But then a witness comes forward to say that she saw the girl with a man right before her death. When the toxicology results show that she had drugs in her system, a murder inquiry is launched with DI Mark Tartaglia leading the investigation, along with his female subordinate, DS Sam Donovan. Soon the team finds that someone named "Tom" has been killing depressed young women around London. With few clues to go on, Tartaglia needs to take his investigation "outside the box." Die With Me is the start of a new mystery series and is similar to the Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James books by Deborah Crombie.

Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan
It's the last night of service at a Red Lobster in Connecticut. The restaurant will be closing for good tomorrow. In Last Night at the Lobster, we see the evening through the eyes of Manny DeLeon, the manager for the past ten years. He struggles to hold things together when staff doesn't show up and the winter weather turns particularly nasty. Manny also thinks a lot about Jacquie, a waitress that he had an affair with and his girlfriend, Deena, who's expecting his child. Try as he may, the night may not be as memorable as he had hoped. I really liked this short novel, which finds a good story in an otherwise mundane situation.

Third Degree by Greg Iles
Laurel Shields life hasn't been the same since she and Danny McDavitt ended their affair weeks ago. Laurel finds herself pregnant, not knowing if the father is Danny or her husband, Warren. One morning, Warren finds a letter, evidence of Laurel's affair. He goes completely crazy, barricading himself in their home with her. Warren insists that Laurel must tell him the name of her lover. Laurel resists, not wanting any harm to come to Danny. It's obvious that Warren has gone off the deep end--is he upset only about the affair or also some fraud problems with his medical practice? Soon, it becomes a hostage situation with their two children involved. Will the police be able to bring the episode to a peaceful end? Third Degree was not up to the level of most of Iles' other thrillers. The characters of Laurel and Danny aren't all that likable (the descriptions of their love for each other was corny) and there's not enough going on in the plot to sustain a 400 page book. For a great page turner by Iles, try 24 Hours or Dead Sleep.

Last Rituals: an Icelandic Novel of Secret Symbols, Medieval Witchcraft, and Modern Murder by Yrsa Sigurdardottir
Lawyer Thora Gudmundsdottir is made a financial offer she can't refuse--investigating the death of German university student Harald Guntlieb. Harald's parents believe that the man police have in custody for his murder is innocent and they want Thora to find the real killer. Thora is joined on her search by one of the Guntlieb family employees, Matthew Reich, and she finds that working with him can be exasperating. They find that Harald was part of a group of students who were interested in Iceland's history of witch hunts and the torture that surrounded them. In fact, Harald was the ringleader of the group and had many odd body piercings himself. Is Harald's death connected with the research he was doing or did one of his friends take their group's activities too far? As a divorced mother of two children, Thora makes an interesting protagonist . The book also has touches of humor despite its occasionally gruesome subject matter. A read-alike for this new mystery series would be the Irene Huss books by Helene Tursten set in Sweden.

Redemption by Lee Jackson
Ben Trinity ends up in Redemption, Montana after hitchhiking during a snowstorm. It's a few years in the future and Trinity has been accused of being a terrorist but never tried. He's part of a program that closely monitors suspects, using microchips implanted in their palms. Trinity gets a job at an area diner and befriends a local family, but most of the small town is suspicious of him, especially when they learn about the charges against him and his possible hand in a terrorist act in California. What is the story of Trinity's past--is he innocent or has his life been ruined so badly that he's beyond caring? Redemption is a thriller with an original premise and I found the setting interesting. Trinity has much in common with Lee Child's series character Jack Reacher and the time period of the near future was reminiscent of Kevin Guilfoile's Cast of Shadows.

Spider Trap by Barry Maitland
In London's West Indian community, two teenage girls are shot to death and DS Kathy Kolla and DCI David Brock are assigned the case. Soon after, a boy discovers three skeletons close to the murder scene and it appears that the same gun was used in both crimes. Interestingly enough, the bones turn out to be more than twenty years old. Brock wonders if the deaths are the work of an old enemy, Spider Roach, whom he has been trying to put behind bars for years. With Kathy and Brock working hard to put the pieces together, more and more people become entangled in the web. In Spider Trap, Maitland delves into the politics and culture of Jamaican immigrants, just as he has examined subjects as diverse as the theater in All My Enemies and life inside a shopping mall in Silvermeadow (these are my two favorites). The Brock and Kolla mysteries are similar to Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series.

The said "old women molester" lies in wait for an old woman to pass during said hours then comes from behind them and holds them in a tight embrace they can not escape from for a long while after which he kisses them and gets back on his motorcycle and drives away. This man has done this to over 5 elderly women so far. Prospective victims are advices to keep safe by not walking alone and always being aware of their surroundings.
I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for these women, but I guess I'm feeling both right now.

WHAT kind of SICK PSYCHOPATHIC BASTARD gets his jollies from harassing old women?!!
The world is becoming a sad, weird place…

Claire Sallaway has lived with an unpredictable heart condition for most of her life.

Aaron Thurnham is the answer to Claire's prayers. With the handsome, fun and God-fearing man by her side, life is blissfully perfect and full of adventure.
Until it isn't.
When tragedy strikes and dreams are shattered, Claire clings desperately to the fragmented remains of her life. Heartbroken, and with every good thing stripped away, she is faced with a choice.

The Gospel According to Todd
by R.A. Williams
Todd Heller is an arrogant ER physician who stubbornly denies the existence of God. A ministering angel forces him back in time to the harsh, primitive culture of ancient Palestine so he can witness the miracles of Jesus with his own eyes.
Meticulously researched for historical accuracy, this plot is woven into the gospel account of the final year of Christ's ministry. Christians who fantasize about going back in time to witness the miracles of Jesus will enjoy the realistic depiction of life in ancient Palestine as experienced from a 21st century mentality.
This novel is the sequel to The Class of 86, in which Jake Simon is the protagonist. Todd, the antagonist in The Class of 86, becomes the protagonist in The Gospel According to Todd.

There are many great new features implemented in Linux kernel 4.9, but by far the most exciting one is the experimental support for older AMD Radeon graphics cards, which was injected to the open-source AMDGPU graphics driver, and tons of other fixes and improvements. Linux is far bigger and more professional than Torvalds could have imagined. Linux powers huge portions of the Internet's infrastructure, corporate data centers, websites, stock exchanges, the world's most widely used smartphone operating system, and nearly all of the world's fastest supercomputers. The successes easily outweigh Linux's failure to unseat Microsoft and Apple on PCs, but Linux has still managed to get on tens of millions of desktops and laptops and Linux software even runs on Windows.

Night hikes up Gaustatoppen Mountain are attracting thousands of visitors.
Published: August 23 2017
Last year was an indisputable success: Fully 5,000 fit folks got decked out in hiking gear, boots and headlamps to hike 4.4 kilometres up Gaustatoppen Mountain in the dark of night and form the world's longest illuminated human link – and promote a more just world.
"This year, there are no less than 18,000 people who have expressed their interest in the night hike," says Norad's Communications Director, Eva Bratholm, to NRK.
"On Saturday, 26 August, we will be doing the world's most beautiful night hike to promote UN sustainable development goals, which aim to create a better world and eradicate poverty. We will unite to form an illuminated human link up the mountainside as a symbol of the cooperation that is required to achieve the UN goals," says Bratholm to NRK.
At an elevation of 1,883 metres above sea level, Gaustatoppen is Telemark's highest mountain, and the view from the summit encompasses an area of a dizzying 60,000 square kilometres and fully one-sixth of mainland Norway.
But recently, it was also determined that Gaustatoppen also offers visitors a look at Norway's most beautiful view – based on voting by the people of Norway.
In a recent survey conducted by Norstat on behalf of Norad, 2002 Norwegians were asked to vote for their favourite view from Norwegian peaks. Galdhøpiggen in Jotunheimen and Preikestolen in Rogaland made it into the top three with 8 % and 5 % of the votes respectively, but Gaustatoppen towers effortlessly above them both with 15 %.
"That's easy to understand. Gaustatoppen is a hiking destination that has been visited by many Norwegians. People have a magnificent view from there on a clear day," says Mette Øinæs Habberstad of The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) to NRK.
It is not only breathtakingly beautiful nature and good fitness that make the night hike in Tinn municipality important and special.
The main objective of the event is to promote awareness around UN sustainable development goals, which aim to eradicate poverty, combat inequality and halt climate change by 2030.
There are 17 "points of light" set up along the route where you can enjoy the surroundings and learn about the various goals, including activities for the entire family along the way.
For those of you who happen to be up north, a similar event will be held on 9 September at Keiservarden mountain plateau near Bodø – on a new trail made of stone stairs laid by Sherpas from Nepal – which will be climbed after bedtime.
A treat of the musical variety awaits those who complete the roughly 5-kilometre hike up to the tower at the summit on Gaustatoppen Mountain.
Last year, it was Sivert Høyem's deep voice that thundered down the mountain – this year, it is the internationally rising pop star, Susanne Sundfør, whose melodies will be soothing sore feet and concerned souls.
Indeed, it was precisely environmental issues and our relationship to nature that reportedly inspired Sundfør's upcoming album, Music For People In Trouble, which she made during travels to countries such as Nepal, North Korea, China, Guatemala and Iceland.
"I wanted to visit places that are very different to my home, and see nature that might disappear in a few decades," she says to the British newspaper The Telegraph.
The idea behind the album apparently jibes well with the illuminating hike up Gaustatoppen in the dark of night.
"What I'm trying to do on this album is to give nature some sort of spirit… there's comfort in that because you are part of something much bigger."

The last ten plus years, Nepalese Sherpas have been building more than 200 safe trails up Norwegian mountainsides – in record speed.
Truls (18) is world champion in "dødsing" – or "death diving" in English – which is a peculiar kind of diving where the risk of doing a belly-flop is ever present. The annual championship garners widespread international attention.

The history of mountain biking is short compared to many sports. Bicycles have been around for a few hundred years, but it wasn't until the second half of the 20th century that we reached a critical mass of adventurers exploring mountains on their bikes.
The Birth of Mountain Biking
People started using bicycles for mountain transportation shortly after biking was invented. In fact, the Buffalo Soldiers of Montana invented bikepacking in 1896 when they created the 25th Infantry Experimental Bicycle Corps. They hoped to replace horses with bikes for two reasons. Bikes don't need to eat and they can't get scared or killed during battle.
In the 1960s, people started building bikes specifically to go into the mountains. That's also when people started to mountain bike because it was fun. Crested Butte, along with Marin County and Cupertino in California, burst onto the mountain biking scene with their bikers pushing the limits of what bikes could do.
Klunkers and Pearl Pass
Crested Butte's claim to fame in the mountain biking world during the 1970s rested on two things: "klunkers" and the Pearl Pass Mountain Bike Tour.
Crested Butte residents tinkered with their bikes, modifying a mix of road bikes, motorcycle parts, junkers, and the occasional bit of flare. They called these creations Crested Butte Klunkers. They didn't have lofty goals for these klunkers. Instead they were just hoping for something that could handle our potholed main street. But once they had klunkers, Buttians started to venture farther from town and higher into the mountains.
In September of 1976, the Crested Butte Klunker riders decided to make the trek to Aspen over Pearl Pass. Those who were there say it was to get back at the Aspen men for riding their motorcycles to Crested Butte to steal our women. After word got out about the tour, the Marin County cyclists started bringing their fancy California bikes to Crested Butte to attempt the annual Pearl Pass tour. At that time it was the gnarliest terrain bikers were able to ride and a great way to test the latest bike technology.
Since then, we've developed over 750 miles of trail in the Gunnison Valley, much of it far more thrilling than Pearl Pass. We have one of the best adaptive mountain biking programs in the United States. And we still tackle Pearl Pass every September on the way to Aspen.
Mountain Bike History Exhibit
Our Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum plays tribute to the history of mountain biking in the Gunnison Valley with their mountain bike history exhibit. So while you're here riding trails, don't forget to stop in and learn a little bit more about the klunkers.

Electric hedge trimmers save you time and are easier on your arms than manual trimmers. When those blades become dull, the job takes longer to accomplish. Instead of making a clean cut on the stems, they are mashed and bruised, making them more susceptible to disease. Blades dull every time you use them. Instead of buying a new electric hedge trimmer or having the blades professionally sharpened, you can sharpen them yourself in a short amount of time.
Find a flat surface to work on. Unplug the electric hedge trimmers and place them on the table top with the blades facing away from you.
Using a pair of pliers or vice grip, grasp the bolt or screw holding the two blades in place. Turn the bolt or screw counter-clockwise and remove it. This will release the two blades.
Place the blade in a bench vice, and clamp it so the blade does not slip.
Slide a metal filer down the length of your blade. Start from the inside or bottom section of the blade part and run your file until it reaches the tip. Sharpen on a 38-degree angle several times. Do not do this to the flat edge of the blades.
Repeat Step 4 to sharpen the other blade.
Test for sharpness by holding a piece of paper above the blade. Without using a lot of force, bring it down across the blade. If the paper does not cut easily, repeat the sharpening process.
Apply a thin coating of linseed oil over both sides of the blades before you bolt them back together. This will keep them from rusting.
Using the pliers or vice grip, replace the screw or bolt back into place. Tighten so each blade is securely in place.
Most recent
- Wear protective eyewear to protect your eyes from pieces of metal.
- Some electric hedge trimmers do not have a removable bolt. This generally means that they are not serviceable, and you need to buy a new hedge trimmer.

CSC announces schedule for computerized exams
DAGUPAN CITY– Those eyeing to work in government may opt to take the Civil Service Commission (CSC) exams through the new computerized system.
The CSC Computerized Examination System or COMEX is designed and developed to unite all previous stand-alone examination processes into a single, automated examination system.
Special Investigator III Romel Rivera of CSC-Lingayen field office said that exams will be conducted on September 4, 11, 18 and 25 with reservation dates scheduled on August 29, September 5, 12 and 19, respectively.
"For Region I, COMEX is available at the regional testing center in San Fernando City, La Union," Rivera said during the "Pantongtongan Tayo" radio program of PIA-Pangasinan aired over DZMQ Radyo ng Bayan on Tuesday.
An applicant may only reserve a slot on the scheduled reservation date of his or her preferred exam date. He or she must not have taken the same level of exam within the last three months, he said.
Rivera said that application through COMEX is easy.
First, the applicant shall create a user account in the COMEX website: http://www.comex.csc.gov.ph/user. After creating a user account, the applicant may then pick an exam schedule from the online offerings. A list of exam schedules with the types of exams, number of slots, date, time, and venue of personal appearance and examination may be viewed. The applicant shall receive an email confirming the slot reservation.
Once slot is confirmed, applicant makes his or her personal (more…)
In Pangasinan, 100 student-workers receive salary from SPES
Jay Anne Sabangan, 20, a resident of Bayambang, Pangasinan, is now on her fourth year as a college student in Pangasinan State University-Lingayen Campus. Next year, she will be a degree holder of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration specializing in Marketing Management.
"Excited po akong makatapos at maabot ang mga pangarap ko para sa sarili ko at sa pamilya ko," a happy Jay Anne exclaimed.
Jay Anne's dream is among the thousands of youthful dreams the Department of Labor and Employment's Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES) seeks to bring to reality.
The young lady has been a SPES beneficiary for four years, which makes her a "SPES baby", or one who has been a program beneficiary for two to four years.
She was among the provincial government of Pangasinan's student-workers this summer who received their SPES checks on August 19. Held at the Pangasinan Public Employment Service Office in Lingayen, Pangasinan, the awarding ceremony was led by DOLE-Regional Office 1 Director Grace Ursua. The latter was joined by Pangasinan PESO Manager Alex Ferrer, Supervising Labor and Employment Officer Bernadette May Mamitag, Labor and Employment Officer III Rhodora Padua and Administrative Aide VI Mhel Gaspar.
Jhie, as she is fondly called by loved ones and friends, recalled how the SPES has greatly helped in her schooling and her family's expenses from 2011 to 2014. "While my salary is intended for my education, there were times when some portion of it was used for our family's small barbeque business," she said. The income from their small livelihood was in turn used for her school needs and family support. (more…)
CORTEZ: Bakit nasa Golan Heights ang sundalong Pilipino?
Ang mga sundalong Pilipino ay nasa Golan Heights bilang peace keeping forces. Tagapangalaga ng katahimikan. Peace ambassadors.
Ang mapasama sa peacekeeping forces ng United Nations ay isa sa mga pangarap ng mga ordinaryong sundalong Pilipino dahil sa usapin ng dagdag na kita.
Ang Pilipinas ay marami nang sundalong pinadala sa mga peacekeeping missions ng UN.
Nakarating na sila sa East Timor, sa Kosovo, sa Liberia, sa Nepal, sa Haiti at ngayon naman ay sa Golan Heights.
Ang mga bansang ito ay problema sa kanilang peace and order situation. May mga nagbabanggaang interest sa loob ng mga bansang ito. Ang banggaan ng mga interest ay nasa lebel na ng armado at magulong sitwasyon kaya naman nagpapadala ng mga peacekeeping missions ang UN.
Sa chapter one ng "Bourgeoisie and Proletariat", ng Communist manifesto na sinulat ni Karl Marx ay sinulat niya na ang kapitalismo ay may palagiang pangangailangan na maghanap paglalagyan ng kanilang mga produkto.
There is the need of capitalism to look for "a constantly expanding market for its products (which) chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere".
Ang paghahanap ng mga bansang kukunsumo ng mga produkto ng kapitalismo ay may kasamang policy na tinatawag na 'blood and iron.' Ang konsepto ng 'blood and iron' ay walang iba kungdi giyera.
Ang sabayang pagpapatupad ng expansion at 'blood and iron' ang dahilan kung bakit pati ang isang bansang tulad ng Pilipinas ay napipilitang makisali sa mga madugong gulo ng naghaharing kapitalistang bansa.
Damay ang bansang Pilipinas, damay ang sundalong Pilipino, damay ang pamilya ng suNdalong Pilipino, damay ang lipunang Pilipino.
Ano po ba nag kapalit ng serbisyo ng sundalong Pilipino bilang peacekeeper?
For these soldiers, what has been the price to serve as peace ambassadors?
Ang mapadala sa isang peacekeeping mission ay may katumbas na 900 dollars per month. Meron pa iyang dagdag na 10 dollars per day.
Habang nasa peacekeeping mission ang sundalong Pilipino, siya ay patuloy na sumasahod sa Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Malaking tulong ito sa pamilya ng sundalo. Ito ang isang ipinagdarasal ng sundalong Pilipino. Makasama sa isang peacekeeping mission.
Anim na buwan na hindi nakita ang pamilya. Anim na buwan na nanganganib ang buhay ng sundalo sa giyerang wala naman siyang kinalaman.
Kahit papaano, pagbalik ng sundalo sa kanyang pamilya ay magsasaya sila hanggang sa maubos ang kinita bilang peacekeeper at naipon na suweldo. (more…)
Which district will next declare support to Cojuangco?
By Mortz Ortigoza
URDANETA CITY – The spokesperson of the Nationalist People's Coalition in Pangasinan would not disclose which congressional district officials would next throw their support to the gubernatorial candidacy of former fifth district Rep. Mark Cojuangco.
Engineer Rosendo So said after the representatives and mayors of Districts 1 and 2 declared their alliance with Cojaungco, he expected another district to follow suit immediately.
"Maybe fourth, maybe third, maybe second, maybe fifth," he quipped when pressed by this paper what particular district will publicly show its support to Cojuangco.
Last July 25 Provincial Board Members Rene Anthony Sison and Napoleon Fontalera and seven mayors of the First District went to the Nationalist People's Coalition's headquarter in Quezon City to declare their support to Cojuangco. They were led by Alaminos City Mayor Arthur Celeste. (more…)
He's in his late 50s, the other in his late 20s. They are a combination of middle aged and a young one. The older one is honed by experiences in his public and private life. The younger one is an epitome of a young leader- dynamic, vibrant and full of optimism.
I am referring to former 5th District Rep. Mark O. Cojuangco, the man who propelled the progress of the 5th District of Pangasinan, and Calasiao Mayor Mark Macanlalay, a very young leader who at a tender age was honed to be a good leader in his town.
Mark and Mark, or simply M & M for Governor and Vice Governor in 2016. As I was looking at them during a press conference in Calasiao last August 21, I can't help but heave a sigh. These two are indeed a combination of what this province is looking for.
Mark Cojuangco is a technocrat turned politician. He's endowed with wisdom and gut feel on what development undertakings are needed in Pangasinan. Mark Macanlalay, being young, has the dynamism of what a leader is. He could give inspiration to the youth. He could be of help to the older Cojuangco in prescribing programs and projects for the youth of Pangasinan.
M &M is like the famous brand of chocolates. They are peddled in tablet form with variety of colors, that younger generations are fond of. The sweetness of the chocolate lingers on the palate-with its crispy crust outside and sticky choco inside. Like M & M chocolate, Mark and Mark could make indelible marks in the history of Pangasinan. It will be a time when people will hang on to new breed of leaders who could make Pangasinan as a truly haven of peace- loving. Pangasinenses.
Why did Cojuangco choose Mark Macanlalay as his running mate in 2016 elections? He said he saw in him a new breed of leader. Mark, Cojuangco said, exudes dynamism needed as catalyst to the youth for change.
Mark (Cojuangco) is also viewed by the younger Mark as a leader whose dreams for a better Pangasinan are noble and great. Being optimistic, the young Mark said he will not abandon the challenge hurled by Cojuangco on him as the vice gubernatorial bet of the Nationalist Peoples' Coalition (NPC).
With the younger Mark as the NPC bet in 2016 for vice governor, the chances of incumbent Vice Governor Ferdie Calimlim Jr., a NPC member, as running mate of Cojuangco is nil. " I have given him chances but he could not decide," Cojuangco said about Calimlim.
Last August 18, I interviewed Calimlim in his office at the Capitol on what his plans are in the coming elections. He said he subscribed to idea that political exercise is still far away and that he has to concentrate first on his work as vice governor. " Trabaho muna," he said.
He did not answer my question whether he's open to a Cojuangco-Calimlim tandem. With young Mark now as Cojuangco's running mate, will Vice Governor Calimlim opt to be the running mate of Ex-Officio Board Member. Amado Espino III?
But news are circulating within Pangasinan that it will be Espino-Espino in 2016 with the incumbent Governor, who is now on his last term, sliding down to vice governor.

One More on Zimmerman and 'Depraved Mind' Murder
I am a fan of Bill Jacobson's Legal Insurrection (legalinsurrection.com) and as such I am not surprised at the stellar job LI's Andrew Branca has done covering the George Zimmerman trial in Florida. (Mr. Branca's most recent update is here.) I am only surprised to find myself in a disagreement with Mr. Branca -- or at least what I thought was a disagreement -- over the viability of the prosecution's legal theory that Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin was a "depraved mind" murder (i.e., murder in the second degree under Florida law).
My post here at Ordered Liberty on Sunday was in part addressed to a discussion Branca had on that subject with Powerline's John Hinderaker (detailed in John's post here). John had argued that the accused's attitude (if any) about race -- a distorted focal point of the media coverage and of the prosecution's sly presentation -- ought to be irrelevant to the central question of whether Zimmerman acted in self-defense. Mr. Branca seemed to take issue with that, although there is some ambiguity about how much his responsive contentions reflect his own views as opposed to reflecting his explanation of what the prosecution is (waywardly) trying to do.
I countered that while I agreed with Branca on what the prosecution was trying to do -- namely, use Zimmerman's purported racism to fill the gaping evidentiary hole in its case -- I disagreed with Branca's explanation of depraved mind murder and with what I took to be his "suggesti[on]" that the prosecution's theory was "viable."
Branca has now responded on Powerline (I think it is another email to John; I do not see it cross-posted at LI. If I've missed it there, I apologize). He says I misconstrued what he insists was his crystal clarity in arguing "that the State's strategy was not viable," and claims to be astonished that I "managed to miss that." In particular, he takes issue with my purportedly attributing to him the word "viable" which he has taken great pains to confirm that he never uttered.
Let's take the easy part first: I never said Branca used the word "viable." And note that I did quote Branca's argument at great length (and quote it yet again below). Readers can judge for themselves, but I thought I was pretty clear about when I was quoting Branca and when I was using my own words (like "viable") to analyze his contentions.
Now, let's get to his argument. He asserts that it "is beyond" him "how [I] managed to miss" his point that the "State's strategy was not viable" given that he has written a blog post in which the lack of viability was "the entire point." I'll take him at his word on that, but I was going with what he wrote to John Hinderaker. Here, again, is what he said:
In order to prove the second degree murder charge the State brought against Zimmerman they must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he acted with a depraved mind. To get to a depraved mind they need to show some kind of hatred or ill-will. In most murder 2 cases the people know each other and have a long history of animus, which is the source of the "depraved mind". Here Martin and Zimmerman did not know each other, so the State is forced to pursue some more generalized hatred -- such as racism.
It seemed to me from reading this that Branca was saying the state's focus on Zimmerman's supposed racism was a "viable" (my word) way of proving the required mental element. I further deduced that Branca may have been led to that incorrect conclusion by his apparent misunderstanding (in the paragraph excerpted above) of what that mental element is in a "depraved mind" murder case.
I felt pretty confident construing it this way not only from what Branca wrote here, but from the context. Branca was writing in response to Hinderaker's suggestion (correct in my view) that racism is irrelevant to the legal issues in the case. As John wrote, "Andrew Branca, a criminal law expert … wrote to say I had overstated the point," and to explain that "[t]here is a reason … for the prosecution's dragging race into the case." Whereupon Hinderaker quotes Branca as stating: "Actually, those elements [i.e., racism, profiling, and Zimmerman's acting as a 'wannabe cop'] are being pursued by the State for a good reason -- they are essential to the State's ability to prove the 'depraved mind' necessary for a murder 2 conviction, which is what the state is pursuing (however foolishly) against Zimmerman." (My italics.)

What happens if you 'borrow' plots from The Running Man, The Lawnmower Man, Total Recall, They Live and Blade Runner and mix them together? You create the plot of Flashback. In Delphine's latest you take the role of a young scientist who, by inventing a pair of glasses which can read molecular density, discovers that aliens have infiltrated society. Once the aliens realise this, they kidnap you and drop you on their planet with a blank mind. Flashback is an arcade adventure from the team that brought you Another World, but this is far more basic, going more for the traditional platform adventure. Unfortunately, this means puzzles where you have to find an object and give it to someone else. Yawn. On the upside, loads and loads of action! Yes, Flashback is rich with the stuff Arnie's films are made of, with more scraps than Street Fighter 2! You begin the game with few possessions and no idea as to who or where you are. Move one screen down and you find a holocube which gives you some idea of what to do. 0ff you trot and before long you're picking up stones and using them to open doors, or manipulating lifts using an intricate set of foot switches. The game is played over seven levels, and each level is cleverly broken down into segments. Not that you'd notice the segments. From the start, there are only about eight screens you can actually get to – the rest of the level is blocked by a bridge that has to be activated.
By some stroke, the last puzzle of the segment happens to be the bridge activator, so you move to the next segment without realising it. It is the variation in the gameplay that makes Flashback so groovy. On level two, you race around a space city, talking to people and eventually working for a living. From there on there's a part in a futuristic game show and your return to Earth. The graphics are fabulous. Using Rotoscaping, Delphine have come up with the most realistic main character animation ever, even better than Prince Of Persia. Every possible movement has been covered, and no matter what you do, the sprite always moves in a fluid and convincing way. The same goes for all the enemy sprites and other animation. 'Film-like' was a phrase that swam through my head while playing; 'the best ever' was another. Sound has been used to minimal effect, which is strange alongside the obvious effort put into the visuals. Very few spot effects and the occasional burst of music make up the aural experience. One very nice touch, though, is the way that major effects, such as a cannon firing, can be heard faintly if you are on one of the screens adjacent to the action. Flashback is one hell of a good game. The first few times I played it, I hated it. Coming from the wrong angle, I assumed it was a graphic adventure, and with that in mind quite rightly panned it. It was only when I found myself bashing away on level four at three o'clock in the morning that I realised what a superb game it is. Its mix of quality animation and all-out blasting make it highly recommended.

SDE12: Solar Decathlon Europe
Decathlon Europe is an international university competition which promotes research into the development of efficient housing. The goal of the participating teams is to design and construct houses which consume the smallest amount of natural resources, and produce a minimum of waste during their life cycle. Particular emphasis is placed on reducing energy consumption and obtaining all necessary energy from the sun. RBZ works together with the team from the Polytechnic University of Madrid which oversees the monitoring of the competition to develop electronic monitoring systems.
The European project SAFETEX: Laser Welding of Plastic Textiles for Automated Manufacturing of Protective Clothing, Inflatable and Waterproof Devices from the MANUNET 2008 call, had the aim of developing the equipment and procedures required to make it possible to use a laser welding system to join textile panels through the robotic manipulation of seams, to overcome the limitations and drawbacks inherent in traditional sewing and taping methods. For this project RBZ designed the electronic controller for the entire welding system.
N4C: Communications for Challenged Areas
Architectures, Test-Beds and Innovative alliances funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission. Its objective was to develop and verify a broadband network using delay and disruption tolerant technology in the Lapland mountains of Sweden and Slovenia, and to develop tracking systems for animals and hikers. For this project RBZ worked with the Polytechnic University of Madrid to develop a harvesting system to track reindeer herds in Swedish Lapland.

Craig Payton/ Personal Journal Entry: 100 day Challenge #2 for 2012
by Craig Payton
March 17, 2012
I have reset the challenges represented in my daily accountability log.
Earlier in the year I detailed my goals and challenges beginning in the new year. This was reported on after the first 60 days. IN fact most of the goals and challenges in the New Years list had begun 40 days earlier when Michael Santos suggested making a 100 day challenge for ourselves ending March 2nd. Now that I have reached the end of the first challenge I recognized the need to reset some goals, re-calibrate others or eliminate them for now and also to add a couple.
The following will be the goals, activities and some brief descriptions and explanations, which I will track from
March 15th through June 22nd (items with a * are new or re-calibrated for this challenge):
Acountability Logbook – Daily tracking of all goals. I keep track of this to make sure that I do this basic accountability task daily. I still give myself a miss on this one from time to time. New habits require diligence to maintain.
Taiji – Daily practice is the surest way to progress. I have had many teachers who have said this in a myriad of ways. I always understood it to be true. Now I have EXPERIENCE of it and what it can mean. I am only somewhat more than 30-40 days in a row of uninterrupted daily practice but the difference in practice is profound.
Straight A Guide – I track this daily. I will consider this goal met if I produce work at least every other day.
Get up <5 A.M. In order to be ready for the day I must continue to rise at this hour or earlier. I do not use an alarm clock. Usually I place my attention upon the time I want to get up as I am settling down to sleep and most days I awake very near the time for which I have set my intention. This is a simple yet effective mental tool anyone can learn how to perform.
Nevertheless I have times when I don't set my intention for a day or two, or when we have daylight savings time and things are thrown off a bit. Right now I am usually getting up by 5 AM but occassionally it will be 5 10 or 15 minutes past.
Call Home – I call home and speak to my Wife and/or Children 2 of every 3 days as available minutes allow.
Write Home – I track when I write home, either email or letter (infrequent), and also whether I make contact with my Son and Daughter. I track communication with my Son and Daughter seperately in order to make sure they get equal attention from me, or as close as I can manage.
Book Report Work – I continue to read Non-Fiction and write Report/Reviews of them. More to be published soon (now Mar 17th)
Write Old Friends – I track when I make contact with friends I had before I came to prison in order to make sure I maintain those connections and even strengthen them where possible.
Marriage – I make sure I make an extra effort whenever possible to show my wife how important our relationship is to me. I give myself a check off when I do so I can track how often I take that extra step.
College Research* Re-Calibration. for this period I will set aside the goal of College Education Research.
Writing – Maintain the goal to write minimum 30 minutes a day.
Other Fitness training. In addition to Taiji and Qigong I have a check box to show those days when I did other training, i.e pushups, bardips, sit ups, flexibility training, running, playing basketball, etc, etc. I want to hit the goal of checking this box 5 times per week.
Morning Meditation/Qigong practice* – For at least 2-3 weeks I have been doing meditation/Qigong practice from 6-7. This is a daily check off and I intend to continue this as long as possible, or permanently as part of my lifestyle. Perhaps in the future I may have to start at 4:30 or 5 in order to get in practice before other responsibilities, but I believe it is well worth it and the health and energy benefits are to me undeniable.
Guitar* – This was added for this cycle. I hope to put in some time every day, with certain days being long blocks of practice. I have been practicing at least 2-3 times a week including one weekly guitar lesson. I am fortunate enough to be able to work with a professional musician here in camp. Although this skill will most likely not result in any career development for me it si very fulfilling to progress as a guitar player. I have played since my late teens/early twenties but hoave not made any real progress in my skills for many years. Since starting sometime in November last year I have regained all my previous skill and re-doubled that skill way past where I had b een stuck for many years. This is a very pleasureable and also mentally stimulating activity. To just play in the manner at to the level I knew previously would be one thing, but to learn new material and practice new drills and skills I had never done before is definitely a challenge for my brian and does serve the purpose of keeping me mentally challenged and growing.
I have discarded tracking the categories of mind/body and Meditation as they are redundant with morning practice.
Ba Duan Jin* – I have added this exercise set which translates from the Chinese as 8 pieces of brocade. It is an ancient set of 8 movement and stretching exercises. In some ways this set has elements more like Yoga and ordinary calisthenics but definitely with a Chinese Qigong flavor. This has been very helpful in overall body well being and specifically has helped release my achilles tendonitis.
In addittion to my daily check off items I also have a 100 day fitness challenge.
Walking. I will walk 10 miles per week. (minimal amount, but enough to keep a higher baseline of activity along with everything else).
Push Ups. Will complete 50 push up test by the end of the 100 day challenge.
Pull Ups. Will do 10 pull ups test by the end of 100 days.In order to achieve upper body fitness goals I will work out 5 days a week. I am still working on my routine and do plan to go into exhaustive details here. It is likely that such routine will change over time, with addittions and refinements as I go along. I am not focused on weight loss, but on overall strength and fitness now. Eventually I plan to ad running in place of the walking. Currently I am recovering from tightness/tendonitis in my left achilles tendon and am focusing on specific exercises and flexibility training to address this. I believe this was caused by doing too much of just brisk walking without other training, leading to shortened and tense muscle fibers in my lower leg. As I progress I plan to be able to run/jog more.
As a side note, the tightness or injury has led me to explore my gait, stance and other balance issues to a very fine degree. It has been very instructive to explore the potential causes of the injury. I feel I have begun to reveal and correct some stance and gait imbalances. As the saying goes problems represent opportunity.

"If you want to date me, all you need to do is say the word. I'd never let you go."
I added Sage to my rugby club's annual list of women who are off limits thinking I could protect her from the gorillas I play with. Aspen's a small town in the off season when the dating pool shrinks to the size of a melted snowflake. Never did I think I'd be the one to break the code and date her.
Even if it's all for show. A wager between friends. An excuse to hang out with her more.
Nothing more than that.
Who agrees to date their best friend over a green smoothie? Apparently this girl right here.
Now the man-bun-sporting South African rugby god next door is my fake boyfriend. I need to rebuild my confidence after some poor dating decisions. Who could be better to fluff my ego than Aspen's hottest bachelor?
This situation is a win-win.
I had no idea what to expect from Next to You since it's Daisy's first novel outside of the Modern Love/Wingmen series. It was new territory for both of us. I am happy to say that I loved it!
This book left me with the goofiest smile on my face after reading the final page. This book is such a sweet and fun story. It reads really quickly and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I love the humor that Daisy brings to her books and this one was a perfect example of it. Her humor is witty and never over the top. It really lends itself to making the characters loveable and relatable. It's endearing. Great, witty banter always steals my heart for some reason.
I loved both Lee and Sage's characters. They had great chemistry together. Although I was sort of confused by their relationship in the beginning. I got the sense that they were friendly neighbors with a mutual attraction but more acquaintances than anything, so it was kind of jarring when they started referring to each other as their best friend. But it was a minor gear shift, and once I adjusted I was back on track. I think I must have just misread the relationship in the beginning.
This book was such a fun and easy read and I highly recommend it. It's a great palette cleanser if you've been in a reading funk. You'll be glad you picked this one up!

Large Snake Bites Off More Than It Can Chew, Regurgitates FIVE Birds
A grim new video shows what happens if you startle a snake when it's in the middle of a meal.
This huge reptile's eyes must have been bigger than its belly because its crazy attempt to swallow five birds whole didn't end very well at all!
When a man tries to take a closer look at the Burmese Python in South-East Asia, a pair of bird's feet are clearly visible sticking out of the snake's mouth.
And, apparently the python was so shocked when the man grabbed it that it regurgitated its large meal and vomited up that bird, followed soon after by four more!
At one point, a dog wanders over to see what's going on and its stunned reaction to proceedings pretty much sums up our own feelings watching this footage!
Snakes will usually regurgitate their food shortly after ingestion if they become stressed, doing so for survival purposes in case they need to fight back against a potential attacker or predator.
The whole thing is pretty gross but, hey, that's nature for you!

Okay, by this point you should have sorted out which trainers you will be wearing on Sunday, having trained in them for the past few months. I had a mini breakdown a few weeks ago because I had been doing all my training in my Nike Free 5.0 shoes that I LOVE but realised they were not supportive enough for a marathon so I spent the past weeks panic running to decide on another pair. With that now sorted I've been looking to the rest of my kit and what I will cherry pick for the day.
Your longest training runs should have revealed to you which pieces of kit work and which chaffe you in places you would rather they didn't... You'll have an idea of which socks you like and whether you need a bum bag or an armband for your phone.
My kit pictured includes:
The brightest dri-fit T-shirt I could find so my friends and family can spot me in the crowd. I've had my name put on mine, this means even strangers can cheer you on. My boyfriend teased me that it was vain until we went to collect my 'vanity project' and saw it in a massive pile with others. It's common place to see people at the start line with their names on their vests and it really will help you in your darkest moments.
Twin Skin socks. I can not recommend these enough - if you don't already have a pair buy some. You don't need to train in them to know that the two fine layers of sock will rub together rather than rub at your skin. I've never had a blister wearing these.
A bum bag. Good tip here, get all your bits and pieces you need for race day (more on this tomorrow) and try to fit them all in your bum bag. I already had one that was too small but a quick pit-stop at Sports Direct sorted me out with this bum bag that is big enough to house my stuff but not too big it will be a nuisance. (Note to self: must still pack light-ish).
I wore a pair of leggings during a recent long run and they chaffed, so I am reverting to my trusty old pair. I haven't tested them out over 26.2 miles but they're likely to get me a good deal of the way without too much bother. Same for my sports bra by Sweaty Betty that I wore on my 18 mile training run.
Having never run with a cap or sunglasses I'm not about to start now, but if you've practised with these take them along if it is likely to be sunny.
Tonight: layout your kit so it is ready to go and assess whether you need any last minute additions.
Check in tomorrow for every possible aid you may need during the 26.2 miles...
Tempted to book a race? Why not sign-up for the ELLE/ Nike We Own The Night 10k on May 10...

Successful brands convince us by taking a strong stand. To do this, they need a clear identity.
Change – even profound change – has always been with us. In the past, however, change was more predictable and thus it could also be managed better. You had the annual plan, the strategic three-year and five-year plans. Companies were able to continuously plan their product development and the resources that would be required. They knew their competitors. They were in a predictable environment with more or less high barriers to entry.

The materials used for replacement parts are often made of polymer, titanium or a cobalt-chrome alloy, materials where PCBN is usually not recommended. Polymers are machined with either PCD or carbide, and titanium and cobalt-chrome are normally machined with carbide.
The components are often asymmetrical, and the majority of the applications are with round tools, with little need for turning tools. One exception is finishing of joints for hips, elbows etc. The component is a spherical ball, called a femoral head, with a diameter of between 25 and 50 mm, and with a hole on one side. After forging, the components are rough and finish turned, and then polished to final dimensions, with very tight requirements on the tolerances.
Cobalt-Chrome is an alloy with about 60% cobalt and 40% chrome. The hardness is only about 30 HRC, but the material is very abrasive. Turning has traditionally been done with carbide, but in finish turning of the sphere, tool life is very low due to the abrasiveness of the material, and the high tolerances required.
Seco UK has been successful in turning of these components, using CP500 for roughing and CBN200 for finishing. We have now used this information to implement the solution at one company in China, with large improvements in productivity and component quality. An additional benefit in finishing is the much longer tool life with PCBN, from a few components with carbide to over 100 with PCBN. We are now working with this at a second company with potential for further growth.
Three conclusions drawn from this:
- The application area for PCBN is growing, as new materials are being developed and used in the market.
- We have a very good solution to offer our medical customers.
- The importance of sharing success stories cannot be underestimated. If we have good results on a specific component, this should be spread to colleagues domestically as well as internationally, in order to avoid "inventing the wheel again", or even "never inventing the wheel at all".

Pulmonary Hypertension in Dogs & Cats – An Important Cardiovascular Problem
Most pet parents have heard the terms pneumonia and congestive heart failure. Many have even heard of valve disease in dogs and cats. These are example of common heart and lung problems in pets. An under-appreciated cause of cardiopulmonary clinical signs in our furry companions is pulmonary hypertension. So, this week's post is dedicated to … [Read more…]

T.I. might just lay claim to the title of Hip Hop's first superhero.
Not only has Tip talked down a man from jumping to his death, but Creed's Scott Stapp says the rapper saved his life.
The Christian rocker explained in an interview on VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" that he had checked into a penthouse of Miami's Delano Hotel in the midst of a drug binge. Eventually, Stapp jumped over his balcony, falling 40 feet, fracturing his skull and breaking his hip and nose.
"I laid out there for two and a half hours and my guardian angel showed up — rapper T.I.," said Stapp. "He immediately took care of the situation and saved my life."
Stapp explained his history with the rapper. "I had met T.I. back in 2004, we were both writing songs for The Passion of The Christ: Songs Inspired By soundtrack and we had briefly interacted there and knew what each looked like," he recalled.
"We'd talked about being fans of Alabama… It's ironic — he walked in, and I found out later it was the only room left in the hotel and he came in off the street and came out, and as I'm laying on the ledge, blood fell to [T.I.'s] feet and he looked up and he had an Alabama hat on. I said, 'roll tide,' and then he looked at me and put two and two together and really saved my life."

Mthimkhulu International are the leading South African specialists, in team conflict managment.team conflict managment
We have just returned to Johannesburg from an incredible break and a wonderful teambuilding session, with Description C&S Audio – in Cape Town.
Cape Town – South Africa – is an incredible place and our teambuild was facilItated in the quaint Train Lodge conference centre. If you visit Cape town, this must be one of the most incredible places to stay. you can dine on a train coach and sleep in one of the stationery train coach rooms.
Our team of Arthie Moore, Suraj Haripersad and myself, were delighted to spend time with this incredible team. Lead by Donald and Liezl Clark – this extra-ordinary group of bright young people – really got into the teambuild – in a huge way! And we are truly grateful that they selected us, as their teambuilding provider!
Our team is incredibly professional and they know exactly what to do, and when. And their work was made far easier by our amazing client.
Here is the feedback from Liezl Clark of C&S Audio:-
Building your team
As employers and business owners, we are all faced with the problem of motivating and building our teams. I would like to share our personal journey and experience with you.
As I write this the sound of the vuvuzela and our team's new found slogan still resound in my ears…
Imphilo Enhle!! Yes, life is indeed beautiful.
The C&S team was transformed over the past weekend. From a diverse team divided down lines of race, language, religion, job title and background we have gone to a team of human beings with a common goal and new values founded in respect.
You may call this a miracle, but it is incredible what can be achieved when you work from a foundation of "at the level of respect all people are equal".
Fellow BW Brian Moore and his wife Arthie of Mthimkhulu International took our team through an amazing rollercoaster of a weekend.
Not only did we learn more about ourselves, our other team members, the ways we learn and communicate and our different personalities but we had FUN!!
Never would I have imagined our team dancing the Macarena in unison on a cold Sunday morning on a converted train platform in Cape Town!
I would recommend Mthimkhulu International and this experience to all businesses and teams without hesitation.
Brian and his team were absolutely wonderful. They have a way of relating to people on the level they can understand and feel comfortable with and help you to stretch further than you ever imagined possible while still feeling safe and respected.
Under their guidance past issues were cleared and a way forward was mapped out.
This past weekend a new unified team was born.
Viva C&S Viva! Imphilo Enhle! Yes, Life is Beautiful!
(Impilo Enhle means beautiful life in IsiXhosa – the mother tongue of Nobel Laureates Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.)

Kate Stoltz Sunday Night Meatballs Posted on 28 Jun 19:32 , 1 comment
I almost always cook dinner on Sunday night, and am starting to love the tradition of cooking a lavish meal once a week. A home cooked meal is something that I enjoy, especially when I have a busy week and simply want to enjoy food, a good recipe, and good company. One of my favorite recipes is one that I found in Rao's Cookbook. It takes a little while to make, but I usually make a batch and freeze the leftovers. That way I have a delicious but quick dinner or lunch when I don't have the time to cook. I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I do! -Kate Stoltz
1 pound ground lean beef (you can use turkey if you don't eat beef, veal, or pork. See note below if you do)
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons Italian Parsley
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 cups bread crumbs
4 cups lukewarm water
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup olive oil
Marinara sauce
1. Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add eggs, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, blend ingredients together. Blend breadcrumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add water, mixing in a cup at a time. Mixture will be quite moist.
2. Shape meat into balls. I usually make them 1 to 2 inches round, make them however large you want them.
3. Heat oil in large skillet. When oil is hot, fry meatballs until they are cooked in the middle. Since it is a large batch, you will need to fry a couple of batches. When bottom of meatball is cooked and crispy, turn and fry the other side. Drain meatballs on paper towels immediately when you remove them from the pan.
4. In a large saucepan, start cooking marinara sauce. When meatballs have drained most of the oil, lower them into the simmering sauce and cook for 15 minutes.
5. Serve alone, over pasta, or with salad. Garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley. ENJOY.
*If you don't eat beef, veal, or pork, you can use turkey instead. If you do use turkey, you will not need as much water, you will need about 2 cups of water instead of 4 cups.

It isn't easy staying atop your game year after year, yet that's exactly what the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class continues to do. - Kelley Blue Book
I had my 2nd service done yesterday and once again Cody was so helpful. I put alot of miles on my car, so I was worried that my car would need a lot of work and be at the dealer all day. Cody had me car in and out in less than 3 hours. Thank you so much, Cody.
I am extremely grateful to have worked with ❤❤❤❤Lupita Manzo❤❤❤❤ in the process of getting my new car. She went above and beyond and even stayed late in order to help me get the car I really want. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am. If you're looking for a new car Lupita is your girl, hands down. If Lupita is not there, talk to Gary. They are all down to earth wonderful people.
we are always very happy with the service dept as very cooperative and willing to work within our schedule. Tyler Usuary is a great leader and his teammates all go the extra mile.
JR Rodriguez kept me informed & got me to the right people to answer my questions. Who knew it could be fun to get car serviced?
I have been buying Mercedes vehicles for a long time. I have also lived in many different parts of the country, so I have dealt with all sorts of dealers and sales personalities. There is something refreshingly different about Walter's. It's no secret that dealerships are incentive driven. It's natural to expect employee behavior to follow incentives; it's human nature. The problem is, that in the era of big data, dealerships operate with extremely granular performance metrics. Since there are now so many metric-driven incentives, there is a rapid and palpable difference in service delivery as a customer goes through ...
