The Consolidated Plan is a three-, to five-year strategic implementation plan that identifies the priority community development and housing needs of the City of Inglewood and allocates resources to address the needs of very low- to moderate income-residents. The plan outlines an implementation strategy to meet those needs using CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.
Consolidated Plan approval by the Mayor and Councilmembers is based on addressing the following community development and housing needs:
The Consolidated Plan process encompasses the following components:
Citizen Participation
HUD regulations require that the City implement and approve a formal citizen participation plan in order to receive funding. The City's Citizen Participation Plan provides for and encourages public involvement in identifying community needs and uses of funds in low-income areas. Public hearing, community meetings, workshops, and a community survey have been useful tools in the past in obtaining public opinion on how funds should be used. The Citizen Participation Plan is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and the CDBG Division.
Annual Action Plan
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year implementation strategy for each year of the Consolidated Plan, which identifies how the City will meet community development and housing needs. The Action Plan is due to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 45 days prior to the start of the City's fiscal year which begins on October 1. The plan is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and the CDBG Division.
Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
The Annual Performance Report is due to the Department of Housing and Urban Development within 90 days of the end of the City's fiscal year. The report gives a detailed description of the sources of funding, the amount of funding, and the allocation of funding for projects and activities to meet the needs of low-income individuals. The CAPER is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and in the CDBG Division.

In the 1950s Fiat unveiled the 500, which was a raging success in Italy. Despite their success at home, Fiat struggled to find solid footing on American soil. Some Americans favored the Fiat 1500, but the company has stiff competition against American auto manufacturers. Throughout the 1970s Fiat introduced the 850 Spider and Coupe, which had a measure of popularity. Even so, several other Fiat brands proved less appealing. In 1984 Fiat pull-out of the American market in the face of increasing emissions regulations.
In 2000 General Motors purchased a portion of Fiat. The joint venture was intended to develop a line of compact and price-conscious vehicles for European buyers. Financial woes complicated this agreement in 2005, but Fiat rebounded well and developed more efficient emission technology which passed American standards.
In 2009 Fiat purchased controlling interest in the now bankrupt company Chrysler. This provided Fiat a built-in network of dealerships, and in exchange, Fiat developed a line of smaller vehicles. After two years of development Fiat introduced the Fiat 500 to American buyers in 2011. The 500 is available in three models, including a convertible and hatchback. Early reception for Fiat has been good and the future looks bright for Italian auto maker.

What's up my bassheads?! I came across this Matta remix of Noisia's dark yet funky tune 'Gutterpunk'. Matta has taken Noisia's complex noise design one step further to construct a true dubstep banger. The reason I'm really digging this remix lies not only in the tempo change and well-produced bass that Matta has added, but also their ability to retain the same dark feel that was so prominent in the original. I also love how Matta drops back into the drum n bass at the end; really feeling this tune.
So check it out and get your half time groove on!

Epilepsy and Temporal Lobe Resection
In this article
What Happens During a Temporal Lobe Resection? continued...
In some cases, a portion of the surgery is performed while the patient is in a ''twilight state'' -- awake but under sedation -- so that the patient can help the surgeon find and avoid areas of the brain responsible for vital functions. While the patient is awake, the doctor uses special probes to stimulate different areas of the brain. At the same time, the patient is asked to count, identify pictures, or perform other tasks. The surgeon can then determine the area of the brain associated with each task.
After the brain tissue is removed, the dura and bone are fixed back into place, and the scalp is closed using stitches or staples.
What Happens After Temporal Lobe Resection?
The patient generally stays in the hospital for two to four days. Most people who undergo temporal lobe resection surgery will be able to return to their normal activities, including work or school, in six to eight weeks after surgery. The hair over the incision will grow back and hide the surgical scar. Most patients will need to continue taking antiseizure medications for two or more years after surgery. Once seizure control is established, medications may be reduced or eliminated in some patients.
How Effective Is a Temporal Lobe Resection?
Temporal lobe resection is successful in eliminating (being seizure-free for one year) or significantly reducing seizures in 60% to 90% of patients.
What Are the Side Effects of Temporal Lobe Resection?
The following symptoms may occur after surgery, although they generally go away on their own:
- Scalp numbness
- Nausea
- Feeling tired or depressed
- Headaches
- Difficulty speaking, remembering, or finding words
- Continued auras (feelings that signal the start of a seizure)
- Weakness, paralysis
- Change in personality
What Are the Risks of a Temporal Lobe Resection?
The complication rate with temporal lobe resection is low, but there are some risks, including:
- Risks associated with surgery, including infection, bleeding, and allergic reaction to anesthesia
- Failure to relieve seizures
- Changes in personality or mental abilities
- Pain

Wow its been a while Gyp since we discussed the slave trade
Why i want a fishman is the familiarity with the sea makes them a good addition they can rescue Luffy and the others when the seas get treacherous and they fall in and not to mention I think the connection with the sea may also be a good reason a character may be a good helmsman. Not to mention that difference they have adds diversity to the crew. The truth is weve only seen one overly powerful fismhman and thats jimbei but I dont know where he stacks up now with the current SH. Lets not forget Arlong and his crew got defeated early in the series before Luffy even headed over reverse mountain I wouldnt say theyld be considered the most powerful characters in the manga

Nine wins in a row for the price of gold: A tenth looked pretty much out of the question by midday Wednesday. Then, this afternoon, came a hawkish noise or two from the Federal Reserve.
Gold futures took a move lower after the afternoon release of minutes from the Fed's January policy meeting, which showed a "few" officials debating whether to raise the federal funds rate "relatively soon" (whatever that means). By that point, gold for February delivery had already settled down 0.3%, to $1,320.60 an ounce.
The nine-day winning streak is still one for the books. It was the longest since July 2011. Sentiment is rosier, and the move was enough to rouse RBS Gold Trendpilot exchange-traded note (TBAR) out of its ultra-safe short-term Treasuries and back into gold.
Here's BTIG strategist Dan Greenhaus arguing the focus on "few" and "relatively soon" is misplaced:
[A] big headline crossed that said a "few" participants wanted to raise rates "relatively soon." While that is indeed the case, the argument being that equilibrium rates had moved higher, other participants argued (winningly we might add) that standard policy tools don't apply now. Focusing on the former without the context of the latter makes for an incorrect analysis.
Afternoon trading sees SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) falling 0.5%, while Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is off by 1.4%. The leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are moving by 4%-5% apiece and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 1.2%.

Skip to comments.Charles Grassley: Rubios work on immigration does not destroy his 2016 prospects
Posted on 06/28/2013 8:29:34 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
The rumors of the demise of Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubios presidential prospects in Iowa as a result of his role in crafting immigration reform are somewhat exaggerated, said Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday.
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, a fierce opponent of immigration reform, has said that Rubio is toast in the Iowa caucuses, should he run for president in 2016. A number of Iowa conservatives expressed similar opinions to the Washington Examiners Byron York last month.
But Grassley said that in 2013, it was too early to make such predictions.
Its pretty hard for me to tell you three years out, he said, speaking to the press just 40 minutes before the Senate was set to vote on the comprehensive immigration reform bill crafted by the bipartisan Gang of Eight, a group of which Rubio is a part. It may influence some people right now, but right now is not 2016.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Wanna make a bet Chuck!
Really? Another moss-back heard from. Grassley did have his finger on the pulse of the party when Gerald Ford was president.
Could have fooled me.
In any case, rest assured that RINO-ubio will NOT EVAH get my vote.
Get real, Grassley...
Yo chuckie, hate to inform you pal, but, YES IT DOES.
Of course it doesn't. It didn't destroy McCain's after his 2006 and 2007 immigration failures. The republican establishment loved shoving him down our throats, forcing us to vote for such an odious man. The same with Romney. Now they're pushing Christie and Jeb Bush. And Rubio will be a third backup, just in case some conservative gets traction. Either way, they get one of their own as the nominee, one who has been bought, cajoled, paid-off, blackmailed, co-opted, whatever!
Trust me on this one, Charles, as the Iowa GOP see their scarce jobs disappear into the cheap "migrant" black hole, their taxes going up for Obama-migration, we'll help them remember who is primarily (in the GOP) to blame!
Well, you know as well as I that as soon as Rubio gets the GOP-e nod at the 2016 GOP-e Convention, Rove and Priebus will dispatch their harpies to FreeRepublic to corral and browbeat all of us who will refuse to vote for their latest loser. We'll get posts like "Hillary thanks you for your vote" etc.
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, a fierce opponent of immigration reform, has said that Rubio is toast in the Iowa caucuses...
As always, a Republican RINO moderate, immediately pipes up to undermine another (more conservative) Republican. Amazing how it seems that democRATS NEVER speak out against another democRAT, no matter how vile or perverted or corrupt that democRAT is. Only moderate, liberal statist RINO repubs attack conservative Repubs. And these same liberal statist RINO repubs NEVER attack any liberal democRATs, or commie pigs like RAT bastard 0dumb0.
So Grassley is now an authority on how to remain committed to Conservative views and achieve enough voter confidence to retain viability as a candidate?
That's like asking for fashion tips from lady GaGa.
Stick a fork in him....
He's done.
My first thought: Wanna bet, Charlie?
This is why you don't trust / vote for / support lesser evils. They come back later to campaign for greater evils.
Rubio's run is dead-in-the-water, forked toast.
I have to agree completely with Grassley's notion that "Rubios work on immigration does not destroy his 2016 prospects".
Of course it does not. However, he'll have stiff competition for the nomination from Hillary!(TM) fer sure!
"Charles Grassley: Rubios work on immigration does not destroy his 2016 prospects"
Mark my words. The same wannabe king-makers(rove) who appointed romney—wll be looking at a Christie/Rubio ticket in 2016. I guess they REALLY want to see the partys' last agonized gasp.
What Planet does this Idiot live on?
No one who voted "yes" will be on my list.
And I mean no one.
I'm not sure I'm GOP anymore, anyway. I think they have lost the plot.
Old Man, its past time you wnet BACK on your meds and retired after generations of sucking off the public teat.
What a clueless idiot. Typical of the entitled noveau aristocracy whi fills our elected offices in Washington DC
Depends on who controls the GOP. Right now, that is NOT conservatives. Rubio is be just fine with the GOP leadership. After all, they support amnesty, too.
The question for them is "Can we scare Conservatives into voting for Rubio by pointing out how much worse the Democrat candidate (Hillary!?)is?" It usually works.
I like Grassley but Rubio has slit his wrists and is bleeding out politically. It will be a miracle if he even gets another Senate term.
That is true, but he will need to run against Hillary in the Rat primaries to get nominated..and that will be a tough fight for him.
Us true RWB Elephants have long long memories.
Rubio burned his bridges with tea party conservatives. Any presidential campaign by him is DOA!
Exactly - 2016 will be a re-run from '08 & '12, with many taking their vote and going home. We're hosed...
Yup Mama Bear has her sights on him. He's toast. I could not help but notice that after Mama Bear mentioned holding him accountable he started worrying. Well he should be worried, Mama Bear does not forget. Kelly Ayotte needs to be worried too.
You bloody well wait, Chuck.
His butt is grassley and we're the lawnmowers. Same for any other quisling rinos: mulch.
I predict Rubio will either make a run for the Presidency in 2016 or will change his party affiliation to Democrat a la Charlie Crist.
Both of these scenarios would explain why Rubio voted the way he did. He thinks if he runs for President, he'll have all those grateful Latinos voting for him, thus he'll become this Hispanic Reagan if he wins. OR he'll switch to Democrat and still win Florida due to the stupidity of Floridians (I am one, so don't give me shit) and the fact that many of the illegals here will be Democrat supporters when they're legalized.
He's probably right. Lots of us would "never" vote for mccain or Romney. But we did. Personally, I will vote third party or stay home. Actually I'll vote SECOND party since we only have one.
Yes it does. Not so much that he tried to do something but that he became Schumer's butt boy in the process.
Charles Grassley: Rubios work on immigration does not destroy his 2016 prospects
If Rubio intends to make a serious run for president he will have a hell of a fight to beat Hillary in the democrat primary elections.
But after his immigration debacle and eager submission to the Liberal Dark Side that is the only possible route open to him.
He is probably right....Rinos will run one well seasoned hack and conservatives will run 50 punching bags.....BINGO... rino wins.
Mama Bear has endorsed several who turned out to be anything but conservative.
Mama Bear has some 'splainin' to do, herself.
One thing could save him. If his negotiations do indeed create a situation where invaders go home, the border and residence issues are brought under control, and jobs go to US citizens, he would be proven correct.
Yep, it did not take him long to run to the Senate floor and cry about his "trials" after Mama Grizzly put him on notice the other day.
Instead of ABO, it'll be ABC.
For me it sure as hell does.
I love how these d*ckheads tell US how to/who to vote for.
Though the GOPe apparently still hasn't learned that the voters don't have to do as they say, sadly.
At first I listened to his talk about border security uber alles, but it got worse with each day as it became obvious he was lying about the security issue.
Every day, more lies.
Stick a fork in him, unless he becomes a democrat he's going to be primaried......
We are in the Internet Age.
A politician can no longer do evil, and escape political punishment.
Millions of Conservatives will contribute time and money to defeat Rubio.
Rubio showed the world that he is a liar, who promoted Amnesty in a Bill sponsored by radical leftist Schumer.
We will not forget. No, we will never forget.
Yep, and, of course, we'll get the usual bleating of "if you don't vote for (fill in the blank), then (fill in the blank) will win."
It's how they've managed to prop up mediocrity since Dole in 96, failing to answer the question, "How does constantly rewarding stark mediocrity lead to excellence?" It's a question they'd rather not hear.
It does as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe the best scenario is that the Gop-e implodes sooner than later. The Gop-e are not about the base nor their own platform. They are the root of our problem; no opposition to the other views. Nothing, will ever change until we have a fight of the conservative wing to moderate wing in this party. Imo.

Posted on 03/07/2013 7:24:03 AM PST by yoe
When Barack Obama wanted to organize a dinner with Republican Senators he knew just who to call Senator Lindsey (Tell the Bigots to Shut Up) Graham. Last night Lindsey and twelve other Republicans went to dinner with Barack Obama in an attempt to make the far left president look bipartisan.
Lindsey spoke with reporters after the dinner. So when the president asked to get together a group, I was willing and honored to do that. Video:
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
I always suspected that about him. What did he choose for the centerpiece?
Who were the other twelve?
I heard Graham say that Rand Paul was on the wrong side of the drone issue.
Which one asked, "Master, who is the greatest among us?"
In addition to John McCain,
"Also dining Wednesday evening, according to the White House, were Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Mike Johanns of Nebraska, and Dan Coats of Indiana."
This is the question that every person nominated to a cabinet position, as well as every member of Congress should be required to respond to in writing, and publish for all to see:
List 10 things the current regime could NEVER do, the legal rationalizations that would be used to attempt them, and the specific names of the people with the ability and willingness to stop them if they tried those things TODAY.
"I heard Graham say that Rand Paul was on the wrong side of the drone issue."
Graham was all hot and bothered on torture. He held up Bush nominees just to get some memo that Kennedy wanted.
But of course, just killing somebody is just fine. Graham: pretend drowning, unconsionable! Drone strike resulting in death, well that's ok!
Graham and McCain are basically the administration's boys in the senate. They are "extra democrats"
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee
Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire
Senator John McCain of Arizona
Senator Dan Coats of Indiana
Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma
Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina
Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska
Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania
Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin
Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota
Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia
What a monumental waste of time. Obama is the head Democrat leading the mantra "All spending good, all cuts bad....All spending good, all cuts bad." Its a safe bet Obama didn't order pork. The pigs back on the Democrat farm would really hate that.
offtopic - So is Graham
Saruman or the Witch-King of Ringwraiths?
You don't walk when you're wearing a pair of signature Nina Burleighs like Graham does.
Did they at least support Rand Paul yesterday? Or are we seeing the Republican party split in two?... which is what the President wants.
Well, let's see. There would've been Phillip, Bartholomew, Matthew the tax collector, James son of Zebedee....oh, wait....I'm thinking of a differnt dinner with a different messiah.
Don't draw any conclusions about the folks on that list just because they attended this dinner.
The only reassuring thing is that Obama went stupid with his request: "Hey guys, could you cancel the sequester (that you won) in exchange for some massive tax increases?"
Even the biggest RINO would respond, "ARE YOU F#$%ING KIDDING ME?"
The controllers had dinner together last night - the others were filibustering. "Republican" has never really been synonymous with "liberty", but in the past the GOP at least had somewhat greater respect for traditions and the Constitution than the Democrats did. That's gone now, and the old labels no longer work as shortcuts for critical thinkers.
This is the reason we have a divide in the party. We have these cheerleading fools that want to be leaders that can't say no to the clown in chief. They need to be replaced with some real conservatives.
It seems to me that at least A few of these people are on our side.
South Carolina. Primary him in 2014. Please. End our misery.
Guess Lindsey wanted to kiss and make up. He always had a thing for tall dark men.
Maybe not the dinner, but the comments during that dinner speak for themselves
Lindsey Graham slammed Rand Paul last night for holding a filibuster against Barack Obamas domestic drone policy.
Lindsey made the remarks after dinner with Barack Obama.
This idea that were going to use a drone to attack a citizen in a cafe in America is ridiculous.
It sure is. Right up until it happens!
Isn't the other way around? Graham is also on the wrong side of our Constitution...he isn't doing as he swore to do...he is playing politics as is his want. Mr. Graham has not grown one iota in office...he is becoming a champion at playing the D.C. game.
Stunner ??? LOL, come on. Grahamnsety
They need to talk about amnesty and reversing the sequester with tax increases, Mccain was there too,
Nothing good can come from this.
Are you kidding me?
Grahamnesty is a well known suck-up to Obama.
Not a thing stunning about that.
I haven't heard any names other than Graham and McCain
This idea that were going to use a drone to attack a citizen in a cafe in America is ridiculous.
Ozero's response was probably what you mean "we" white man?
"Stunner ??? LOL, come on. Grahamnsety
They need to talk about amnesty and reversing the sequester with tax increases, Mccain was there too,
Nothing good can come from this."
Yep! And don't forget, according to Lindsey just a few years ago, we are ALL bigots!
"Stunner?" Only if one is a total imbecile is this a "stunner."
I heard he went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get pale orchid tablecloths and matching fringed napkins.
This is an excellent way, having this meeting, of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. First off, Obozo would not want any meeting UNLESS he were losing on the issue. He has taken a ton of hits in the press and other media on his stance so far. So, he pivots and holds a hand out to the GOP in the Senate? WHY, his party controls the senate last time I looked. NO, his holding his hand out is with a daggar aimed at the house GOP. He is trying to garner public support against the house GOP, his true enemy right now by saying he met with the Senate GOP. The guy is a three card monte dealer at heart and we need keep our eye on the ace here. BTW, Bonehead yesterday said he wanted all future budget deals to be in the public eye. He put more, not less, pressure on the liar in chief who cannot do anything out of the shadows so he can lie with impunity.
Graham is a queer and a liberal and has no place in the Republcian party.
Red Hampshire's Senator Ayotte has been following Graham and McCain around like a dog in heat the past several months...
Send Lindsay on a cruise with Bill O'Reilly, another phoney "moderate" who last night criticized the republican who said Obama should give up golf rather than cancel WH tours.
I used to defend the middle of the road "conservatives" but have to admit they are so clueless they are pissing me off.
Do we ever see Chuck Schumer falling all over himself to defend any republican?
THE OBAMA FLOPOLA Obama winged around the country like Chicken Little----cackling about the "sky falling" if he did not get another trillion dollars to throw away on 29 new federal federal giveaways to buy votes. (Obama's "turkey trot" was intended to increase Dem's midterm chances).
That flopped bigtime.
COMMENTATOR CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER OBSERVES---"Obama's alarming move---deliberately making the most painful and socially disruptive cuts possible (putting 2000 imprisoned illegal immigrants on the streets--- hardened criminals plotting crimes against law-abiding Americans). When the Nation was at the fiscal cliff, Obama cunningly split Republicans and got a slew of new taxes.
The sequester scam is intended to break the Repubs on spending..... to make cuts look as painful as possible, and let Republicans come crawling for a balanced deal----more back-breaking tax-hikes on the working class). In the past two years, House Republicans stopped cold Obamas left-liberal agenda. If Obama can break them now, the road is open to resume legislating Obama's expansive, entitlement-state liberalism proclaimed in his 2012 inaugural address.
But Obama cannot win if 'nothing bad really happens' with sequestration. Indeed, hed look both foolish and cynical for having cried wolf." ####
I don't think he ever even talks a good story. South Carolinians have some 'splainin' to do.
Graham should be representing a state in New England, where his true constituents live...South Carolina deserves better.
I still remember that weazel on the Sunday shows saying 'Maybe we need to change the US constitution to end birth-right citizenship' with the sole purpose of bring lots of sh...t down on those in congress who oppose amnesty.
(The US already does not give birthright to children of diplomats born in this country with no change in constitution so he was just trying to cause trouble.)
Notice he dropped that whole line of 'argument' only after a few days after getting it on the news and all the TV talk/news shows as questions:
"The GOP wants to change the constitution to...." failing to even mention Grahamnestys name.
That single cynical play of his showed me what a sleazeball he is. I dispise Grahamnesty, truly dispise.
After dining Johnson said he didn't come to Washington to be Senator but to help fix the budget. He said the Senate is dysfunctional.
Yea Paul out there standing up for the constitution whilst these fools eat a meal with a guy which has done nothing but attack them and then this morning these fools come out and state how things are going well, how it was good to see Mccain laughing next to bozo and how things are looking up
Yet again the stupid party is being split by these left wing scum bags and yet again our sell outs don't see what th ehell is going on
These people view the world through now antiquated glasses. Obama and his regime are American Bolsheviks, and guys like Graham can't grasp that.
obama wants the party split, he wanted certain republicans to not help Paul do this and these fools go to a meal , have a laugh and things are all rosy whilst Paul, Cruz ETC stand for the constitution
McCain , Graham, Toomey and the other fools fell for this dinner crap., how great they must feel knowing some republicans were out there to defend the laws whilse they have a laugh and dinner with a man which has done nothing but attack them
LOL! I heard 0bama's pet name for Lindsey is 'Graham Cracker'. They're both fruitcakes.
he has this dinner while Paul and Cruz were standing up for the people
Not a coincidence that the dinner happened exactly the same time as Paul speaks
The stupid party yet again strikes because of the usual sell out fools
The beltway GOP are letting No Budget Barack off the hook. No fight in these folks at all. I knew the fix was in again when they started declaring victory a few days ago. They had done nothing except cut the military and wanted to have a party about a great "victory". Unbelievable.
all this talk of reaching out, ARF, what a crock, this was about getting some republicans to dunner to get them away from what Paul was doing, no coindence that the dinner was exactly the same time as Paul spoke.
This morning I saw Corker say it was a good dinner, obama is reaching out and he is open to compromise and it was good to see MCcain laughing next to bozo
Frigging sell outs again and bozo is laughing at how stupid some on our side are.
These sell outs can;t grasp the simple fact that bozo used fraud to get where he is, he is a liar, he is a hard core socialist and near a commie, they can;t grasp that htey keep being laughed at and that the left uses them all the time to pass their own agenda.
How I wish voters would wake the hell up on both sides, what is it with states which keep electing the likes of Graham, McCain etc
So when the president asked to get together a group, I was willing and honored to do that.
What was the centerpiece? A pig with an apple in its mouth and its butt in the air? Can't get much more servile looking than that.
Stop it pubbies...you look like fools.

Consistency: the Key to Success
You were recently introduced to my dog, Lexi, a border collie/golden retriever I adopted from the Humane Society. She has the beautiful face of the retriever and the intelligent eyes of the border collie. She is smart, active, funny, and a tad bratty. Lexi and I have nearly completed a year together, and I am amazed at the similarities between working with her and working with children. She easily manipulated me with her sweet face and wonderful sense of humor. She sat on first command without exception. She behaved quietly when a stranger (to her) came into the house. She chewed on rubber toys instead of shoes, happily brought her ball to me, took dog biscuits from me with dainty gentleness, and slept quietly all night at the foot of my bed. The perfect dog, I told my family and friends. "Just wait," they all replied. The first red flag was raised when we met our trainer for the first time. I felt shocked and disappointed when she observed that Lexi was an alpha female, stubborn, used to having her own way. I knew then how parents feel at school conferences when they learn their child is struggling or getting into trouble, and I made a mental note to be kinder, gentler in any future communication I might have with parents. The more comfortable she became in her new home, the more apt she was to do something just a little naughty. "It's all about consistency," our trainer said. "The first time she bites her leash or even looks like she'll bit her leash, you must provide correction." So I'd provide the correction until both of us were spinning like tops. Clearly, I'd missed some part of the technique. And even more frustrating was the near-perfect behavior she exhibited with her trainer! But we kept practicing and I kept correcting and soon things got better. Inconsistency is confusing to Lexi just as it is to kids. We must establish our expectations and practice until we have achieved automatic fulfillment. We must follow through on promises as well as threats. We must provide the tools necessary to complete tasks. We must must clarify what we want. And praise, praise, praise the successes.

An 89-year-old house in Winter Haven will be the subject of a television show based on involving viewers through 21st-century technology.
DUNDEE �| An 89-year-old house in Dundee will be the subject of a television show based on involving viewers through 21st-century technology.
"Blog Cabin," which bills itself as the first interactive home-building TV series, will feature the Craftsman-style house in episodes scheduled to air beginning next July. The program, which airs on the DIY Network, selects a house for a thorough renovation that is chronicled in each series.
The show uses viewer suggestions to determine the details of the makeover. The series culminates with a sweepstakes in which a viewer wins the restored house.
The house chosen for next year's series will be moved from Dundee to a five-acre waterfront property on Lake Hamilton, DIY Network revealed in a promotional video featuring the "Blog Cabin" host, Chris Grundy. "Blog Cabin" will begin soliciting viewer suggestions for the makeover in January on its website (www.diynetwork.com/blog-cabin).
A spokeswoman for DIY Network declined to give the location of the house or the name of the previous owner. A forum on the show's website warns commenters not to give away the location and deletes posts that do so.
The two-minute teaser video abounds with images of Polk County. Grundy is seen piloting a boat through a canal on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, juggling oranges at a citrus stand and fishing on a lake. The segment includes shots of downtown Winter Haven, where, Grundy declares, "it's summertime all year round."
Grundy, also the host of the DIY Network show "Cool Tools," said this will be the first time "Blog Cabin" moves a house as part of the renovation.
"This whole house is literally about to go on a journey to the 21st century," Gundy said on the video segment.
A news release from DIY Network says the 2,500- square-foot house was built for the first elected president of a citrus growers association.
In the video, Grundy says only two families have owned the house. As a result, he said, it still has many of its original fixtures.
Photos posted on the "Blog Cabin" website show a stately but faded two-story wooden structure set on a brick base with a brick chimney. Interior photos show antique light fixtures and doorknobs.
"This year's location is absolutely awesome," Grundy said in a news release.
"It has beautiful lakeside views and is just minutes away from popular Orlando attractions. I'm sure it will be another Blog Cabin I'd like to live in myself. With the help of my fellow DIY Network experts, viewers and fans, we're going to transform this historic home into a one-of-a-kind luxury retreat."
"Blog Cabin" is now in its eighth season. DIY Network, owned by Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc., is based in Knoxville, Tenn.

The tyranny of choice, eh? The modern Spotify catalogue is vast enough to strike terror into the indecisive music fan, with more than 20 million tracks now available and some 20,000 new ones added each day.
Unless you're one of these annoying people who actually keeps up with new music - seriously, how do you find the time? - it's always tempting to just settle back into your comfy musical armchair and stick on a Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits, or an REM playlist, or the soothing tones of Satanic Blasphemies by Swedish death metallers Necrophobic.
But to do that would mean you'd miss out on some cracking good tunes. There have already been dozens of great albums released in 2014, and most of them have found their way on to Spotify. So here's our pick of the year's best so far. Happy listening.
Listen to the entire playlist here: Stuff's Best New Albums On Spotify 2014
1. The Horrors - Luminous
The Horrors' fourth album might as well be titled I ♥ Indie Dance 1991 such is its slavish devotion to the era. It's all shimmering synths, shuffling beats and shoegazey guitars, and while the band's previous two albums also mined the same seam, the influences are more obvious here.
That's no bad thing in our book, though, because the early '90s were an amazing time for British music. Luminous isn't quite as good as the best of its idols - it's certainly no Loveless - but it starts brilliantly with the hypnotic 'Chasing Shadows', ends strongly on the swoony 'Sleepwalk' and serves up plenty of highlights in-between.
2. Warpaint - Warpaint
A song named 'Biggy' isn't the only nod Warpaint's self-titled second album gives to hip-hop – this is a record that's all about beats and bass lines. Guitars take a backset in favour of synths, but even those are there to texturise rather than drive these songs forward.
Sometimes you feel like it could've made more of a mark – 'CC' drifts by and 'Go In' sounds like one of Radiohead's more obscure B-sides – but even with hints of trip-hop (thankfully that doesn't include the smell of dreadlocks) Warpaint are doing more interesting things with indie rock than a thousand Kasabians.
3. Mac Demarco - Salad Days
You could say that 23-year-old Canadian Mac Demarco's public persona is that of a gap-toothed jackass – on the surface, he's a schlubby slacker liable to disrobe on stage or embark on a long-winded rant about The Simpsons. But there's nothing lazy or coarse about his music: these home-recorded pop songs (on which Demarco plays all the instruments) reveal an understanding of life and love as much as they do a talent for melody.
Salad Days is his third and most musically diverse album, and its languid pace make it the perfect accompaniment to those lazy, hungover Sundays.
4. Beck - Morning Phase
It's difficult to know quite what you're going to get with a new Beck album. Sometimes you might not even get a proper album at all (2012's Song Reader was released as sheet music) but Morning Phase is as conventional as he's been since Sea Change. And that's no bad thing.
What it lacks in invention it more than makes up for with lush orchestration ('Wave', 'Phase'), catchy alt-country ('Say Goodbye', 'Blue Moon', 'Blackbird Chain') and good old-fashioned melancholia (er, all of it). Morning Phase might be a record full of sadness, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty to love about it.
5. Chromeo - White Women
Canada's favourite electro-funk duo return with an onslaught of foot-tapping melodies, naughty lyrics and effortlessly cool style. And they've not forgotten the vocoder.
Stand-out track 'Fall Back 2U' drags disco into the modern day, and while the lyrics to 'Over Your Shoulder' verge on the obscene, they never detract from the rhythms. Their best work yet.

MISSION MATTERS: Service and Justice
"The pursuit of truth for the greater glory of God and for the service of humanity."
I often consider myself very lucky to work at a place that has this phrase as its Mission. How many mission statements incorporate even one of these important aspects of life (knowledge, faith or service), let alone all three. And I consider myself even more blessed to work very closely with the final component, connecting others to service opportunities. What better way to end a mission statement, what better "product" to create, than service for and with others?
We must of course always remember that as an institution of higher education, our first and foremost goal is to teach our students, empowering them to pursue that truth, that knowledge, and to become lifelong learners in the process.
But as a Jesuit institution, I believe SLU considers this the means and not necessarily the end. If all we did was graduate students who attained impressive levels of knowledge and a mastery of skills, ready for the "working world," we would be no different than a public state-school or a private research school. But this is not the end result for our graduates, but rather a means to serve the world. Our students use this knowledge and these skills to work in our community alongside others.
This service is just one step in a lifelong process — just as we hope that our students become lifelong learners, so too do we hope they will become agents for change, no matter what their life's calling may be. St. Augustine once said "Charity is no substitute for justice withheld." When he said this, I don't think he was besmirching service or downplaying its role; instead, he is calling us to recognize the role that service plays in the bigger picture of our society. While serving meals once a week in a soup kitchen is valuable, important work, it is equally important to be asking "Why do I need to serve these meals in the first place?"
Which brings me to another of my favorite Jesuit-isms: Magis. A calling NOT to do more, but to BE more. A student finds meaning in magis not when he or she decides to tutor a child twice a week instead of just once, but instead when he or she comes into my office and asks, "What is so wrong with our education system that these kids need extra tutoring every day after school?" And not only do they ask this question, they go to find an answer. That is our "product" at a Jesuit institution. That is a pursuer of truth for the service of humanity.
And that is the link between service and this concept of "social justice." They are not the same, nor are they mutually exclusive. Rather, they are integrated into a process. I firmly believe that before you can advocate for others, you must first get to know them, to know their stories, to know the issues that face their neighborhoods and communities. And there is no better way to start this process than through service.
Social justice may be our final destination, but service is an important first stop along the way.
— Bobby Wassel, assistant director, Center for Service and Community Engagement

I wanted a simple cream based pasta dish; however, I didn't want it to be too creamy (the wife doesn't care for a thick cream sauce) so there is the one I came up with.
1/2 lb of sliced chicken breast
3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp salt, cracked pepper, basil
2 minced cloves of garlic
8 oz cooked farfalle
A bunch of Broccolini
Let us get started
1 – In a large pan, over a medium heat, add your chicken stock and minced garlic. Bring to a slow simmer.
2 – Add chicken, salt, pepper and cook for roughly 6 to 8 minutes. Stir frequently.
3 – While the chicken in cooking, in a separate pan, add a half cup of water and your broccolini and cover. Steam until the broccolini is bright green. Remove from heat and drain.
4 – After the chicken reached the 6 yo 8 minute mark, add your heavy whipping cream and basil. Raise heat to medium high, stir. At this point we want the sauce to thicken slightly. When it is at your desired thickness you are done.
There you go. Plate over your broccolini, add a bit of Parmesan cheese and you are good to go.

Now that the dust has settled in the south, we thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round Six.
Now that the dust has settled over in the southern hemisphere, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round Five.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
15 Louis Ludik (Sharks): Was one of the Sharks' top performers in their demolition of the Rebels. Ludik's surges into the back-line saw him scoring a brace of tries. He beats the fast-improving Israel Folau, who was sensational on attack for the Waratahs against the Blues.
14 Gio Aplon (Stormers): The diminutive wing got the Newlands faithful off their feet with a fine solo try and always looked dangerous with ball in hand. He gained 114 metres on attack, beating 10 defenders in the process.
13 Rene Ranger (Blues): Another scintillating attacking display from the All Black secures his spot in our team for the third time this season. Ranger impressed in his side's loss to the Waratahs, making 43 metres, with four defenders beaten and he also secured two turnovers.
12 Rob Horne (Waratahs): Combined well in midfield with Adam Ashley-Cooper and put in a solid defensive effort against a dangerous Blues back-line with 12 tackles made. Honourable mentions go to the Reds' Ben Tapuai and Francis Saili of the Blues.
11 Digby Ioane (Reds): Crossed the advantage line at will with several attacking runs in the Reds' victory over the Bulls. Ioane gained 88 metres, beating eight defenders. He gets in ahead of the Western Force's Alfie Mafi and Gerhard van den Heever of the Stormers, who did well for their teams.
10 Quade Cooper (Reds): Was back to his best against the Bulls, scoring a try and doing the groundwork before offloading to Jono Lance for the Reds' first five-pointer. Cooper made 92 metres, managed three offloads and won a crucial turnover. Bernard Foley of the Waratahs and Aaron Cruden of the Chiefs are both unlucky after impressive showings.
9 Cobus Reinach (Sharks): Seems to have cemented his place in the Sharks starting XV with another polished display. Reinach scored a try and gained 104 metres but also impressed with his slick service to Patrick Lambie.
8 Kieran Read (Crusaders): Proved once again why he is widely regarded as the best number eight on the planet. Read gained 100 metres on attack against the Kings and won six balls in the line-outs, including one on his opponents' throw.
7 Matt Todd (Crusaders): This was a difficult decision as Heinrich Brussow also impressed for the Cheetahs but Todd gets the nod for a solid shift against the Kings. He carried well and was busy on defence, making 11 hits.
6 George Whitelock (Crusaders): An industrious performance was rewarded with a hat-trick of tries in the win over against the Kings. He also defended well, particularly in the game's latter stages when the result was already secured. Stormers bruiser Rynardt Elstadt and the Cheetahs' Lappies Labuschagne also performed well.
5 Andries Bekker (Stormers): Deservedly won the man-of-the-match award after a fine all-round effort. Bekker scored two tries, won his fair share of line-out ball and made 10 tackles to play a major part in helping the boys from Cape Town hand the previously unbeaten Brumbies their first defeat of the campaign.
4 Brodie Retallick (Chiefs): Got through plenty of hard graft against the Highlanders. Retallick cleaned out the rucks with ferocity and led his side's defensive effort with an incredible 21 tackles.
3 Wiehan Herbst (Sharks): Stood in for Springbok hardman Jannie du Plessis and impressed with a solid scrummaging display and some big hits on defence. He beats out the Waratahs' Paddy Ryan who did well in his primary duties against the Blues.
2 Kyle Cooper (Sharks): Got a rare start and made full use of his opportunity, scoring a try and crossed the whitewash for a deserved try against the Rebels. Just edges out the Blues' James Parsons who worked hard and also scored a try in his side's defeat to the Waratahs.
1 Beast Mtawarira (Sharks): The entire Sharks front row makes this week's team after their demolition of the Rebels in the scrums. As the senior player, Mtawarira was at the forefront of that effort and he also did well on defence, especially at close quarters in the rucks and mauls.

This was hard for me because for the past few years, I have thought that social media was going to disappear and just become part of marketing and communications, that the firms and companies would have finally caught up to us early adopters. Yes, I'm putting myself as an early adopter with a small group of public relations professionals that do not get the recognition they should get for being early: Tom Murphy, Phil Gomes, Mike Manuel, Constantin Basturea and more. If you want to know who you should really be listening to, look at the people that are not talking that much (some of these people do not update much), but are in the trenches.
And, the fact is that social media should not be a separate discipline anymore, nor should it ever have been. Public relations likes to relive its bad decisions over and over again. Back in the dotcom era, PR firms had "online news" teams versus "print teams" ... and it soon crossed over. My main WSJ reporter worked for WSJ Online, but wrote for the paper as well ... when she wrote for the paper, should I have handed off the relationship or stopped talking to her? No, that'd idiocy. So why is social media separate? Isn't it just part of the whole P in public relations? Yah, you don't need a book to know this, it is basic PR skills that we've forgotten.
As for the prediction, I've been wrong so far, but will go with that prediction for 2010, with an asterisk. I think that social media will finally be subsumed by one of the disciplines (public relations, interactive marketing, marketing - one of them) but will still be splintered across the board. Most of the social media mavens and gurus, though, will be finally sniffed out as empty suits, and that will hurt the industry more than most things - for a while, at least.
Social media shouldn't be a special job that is relegated to 25 year olds as they do not have the gravitas or years of experience to understand the deeper issues. No, not an ageist issue, but in public relations there are issues that arise that you need the years of experience to give good, deep thinking, strategic counsel that comes from years of experience ... not being on freaking Facebook or Twitter. It takes the understanding of the whole ecosystem, how social media is affecting public relations, marketing, communications and customer service. It takes the long-term view - not the short-term that is so popular in social media - and understanding what you do today is going to have repercussions in the future.
As for another prediction: the FTC will have wider repercussions than people realize, and will stifle much of the social media outreach done by marketing firms - think giveaways, etc - and will lead to tax implications from the IRS that have not been touched upon so far.
That is something that we - as marketers, public relations, social media, whatever the hell you want to call the discipline - are going to need to really think about. It's about the bigger story, and what might be happening because what the government is doing today. That is what we need to be doing, that is what we need to be thinking about ... and it might not be best held in the hands of people that can only think about social media.
