Retrospectives work for most teams, yet some teams are convinced that retrospectives will never work for them. When Esther Derby came across several of these teams for which retrospectives had failed, she questioned why and discovered eight common reasons for those failures. In this column, she details these eight reasons and offers solutions for each one.
I've seen retrospectives help teams make major improvements. Yet, each time I talk to a group about retrospectives, someone always tells me, "We tried retrospectives, and they don't work for us." Why?
My inquiries revealed eight common reasons behind retrospective failures. Some failures happen before the retrospective starts, some happen during the retrospective, and some relate to how teams follow through on retrospective results. The good news is that most of the problems are relatively easy to fix.
1. No Preparation
Every significant working session or meeting requires preparation, and retrospectives are no exception. Showing up for a meeting with no idea of how the group will use the time is a waste of everyone's time and results in unbounded discussions that lead nowhere. Take time to prepare an agenda that will help the team reach their goal.
2. No Focus
Every retrospective needs a focus. The focus describes the territory the team will explore, without specifying an outcome. For example, many teams start with a focus of "continuous improvement." That may suffice for a while, but after a few retrospectives the team may run out of things to say. Sharpening the focus will help the team delve deeper. Choose a focus that reflects the challenges of the previous iteration or period of work. For example, if the team members found that the stories they selected were under-defined, they might focus on "improving our work with the product owner to groom the backlog."
3. Failing to Gather Data
Many teams start their retrospectives by asking: "What did we do well?"; "What should we do differently?"; or some other variation. These aren't bad questions, but they shouldn't be the first questions. These questions ask for analysis and conclusion, which require data. Before talking about what to change, talk about what happened. Choose data related to the focus of the retrospective. Depending on the type of data, it may help to pull the information together prior to the retrospective meeting. When the team skips gathering data, each team member is analyzing his or her own perceptions. When the team members review data together, they are creating a more complete picture of the iteration and are all working from the same data.
4. One or Two People Dominating the Conversation
It's easy for one or two dominate personalities to control an unstructured discussion and push their ideas onto the group. The result is that the team as a whole doesn't fully accept the retrospective outcome. Rather than leave the field open, use pair or small-group discussions and activities to ensure that everyone has a chance to participate and contribute to the result.
5. Focusing Only on Impediments That Are Outside the Control of the Team
We all know that many of the problems teams face are systemic problems—problems that management needs to fix. When team members only focus on issues outside their team, they can become demoralized. Worse, they come to view themselves as hapless victims. I find there's plenty they can do to improve their own processes and methods—much more than most teams initially recognize. Focus on choosing improvements the team can do themselves or on which they have strong influence. Even when the team doesn't have control, they can choose to respond differently.

I have Built a 2 way design using this 7" dayton reference woofer paired with a silk done tweeter and the result is fantastic. The dayton has the required excursion to produce some impressive volume. and with a well tuned box you can bring out very good balanced bass.
|by Jerry Anderson "browser in sd"
|Date Added: Tuesday 16 September, 2008
Wether your replacing existing woofers or a new build, this 7" driver is up to the task! This woofer has a gained alot of popularity in 2-Way and MTM Designs, however the upper end of it's frequency range could be a bit better for the mid range, in my opinion. This woofer is also becoming quite popular in 3-Way designs as it's bass response is quite nice. I used this woofer in a small 3-way design with a ported .62 cu.ft cab to house this woofer and Daytons RS52AN-8 2" mid range dome with a seperate housing on top for a 6" planar. Overall, very nice performance and a nice low end!

Ola & Jon
I wanted to say a quick thank you for the wonderful job you did for Jon and I three years ago. We still get compliments on how great you were towards all of our guests. We were at a wedding yesterday that was beautiful, but made us once again truly appreciate the difference a professional, amazing photographer makes. Thank you again for capturing our day so beautifully!
Michelle & Tom
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for everything on Saturday. I couldn't have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. Your professionalism was absolutely more than we could have asked for, your timing was excellent and the way that you calmed me down right before made me feel so much better. We are excited to see the pictures. We cannot thank you enough for everything!!
Alison & Chad
I just wanted to thank you for referring us to Murray Lincoln. We met with him last night for the first time, he was very personable and we all got along really well. I am really looking forward to him being our officiant! Chad and I are both very pleased to have you as our wedding photographer, your work is amazing and your advice and referrals (Terry and Gerri for DJ's and now Murray for Officiant) have been invaluable.
Lynette & Andy
My husband and I used Adam for our recent wedding and I can't say enough about him. We first had an engagement shoot because I am terrified of having my picture taken. It was amazing how he made both my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable. We loved his sense of humour and his vision. The day of the wedding went seamlessly. He was well organized and when something came up he made changes to his plans effortlessly. All of my family and friends were very pleased with him. You never even knew he was there. I recently received our gallery online of the photos taken for our wedding and I am absolutely amazed. He quietly went about his work and captured those amazing moments we only thought were memories. I look forward to using him again when our family grows!!!
Maria & Chad
Adam shot our wedding this summer. He was so professional and kept us on track the whole day! We selected Adam because we knew he could capture awesome portraits but also the gorgeous background surrounding the picture... Adams albums are also very professional. They are extremely well laid out and hold the right amount of photos to capture the day. I'd recommend Adam again and again!
Paige & James
I don't even know where to start. The photos are so beautiful, and you were able to capture the moments so well. I'm so happy you caught so many great "people" shots - it's great to see the interaction the day-of, as it was certainly a blur for James and I. As we looked through them together, we both commented that it felt like we were re-living the wedding. It was so nice 🙂 Looking at these photos will always bring us back to that day in such a special way. Thank you so much for making our day memorable for us - forever!
Devon & Emily
Thank you Adam for a wonderful day at Devon and Emily's wedding. It truly was perfect. Your professionalism and your great personality made us all feel at ease! Even with a controlling mother-in-law in the background didn't phase you a bit! Thanks again for your beautiful work !!! I don't know how Em and Dev are going to pick out of superb pictures! Amazing !!!! Thank you! (Mother of the Groom)
Jennie & Dave
Hey Adam OMG!! We really don't have the words...we love the pictures. Thank you again for the wonderful 2 days of photos.
Nancy & Gary
All of the images are amazing! You really captured great shots. There are a large portion of them that I hadn't even noticed that you had taken (a sign of a gifted photographer I'm told!!).
Sonja & Aaron
We've had a chance to scroll through all of the images and are just so pleased with the work that you've done. Really I can't say enough about how all of my expectations, including ones I didn't know that had, we're totally exceeded. The beaver ring shot was a definite favourite -- totally unexpected and piss your pants funny.
Tara & Jay
We choose Adam to shoot our wedding this past winter. After looking at his previous work and talking with him we knew he was the right choice. He was so professional and all our guests kept commenting on how inconspicuous he was all day. He captured so many intimate moments and his images really told the story of the day. I received everything from him (album included) within a month. Jay and I were so happy with his work. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Colleen & Ryan
Hey Adam, I am speechless!! It took me a couple of days to really regroup from these!! LOL You truly are amazing! Adam, I am sooo happy with these!!! You really are one of a kind! Thank you sooooo much!

Catch Can?
Will the addition of a catch can void our warranty?
Re: Catch Can?
I actually spoke to Billet Technology about that because i was wondering the same. My dealership actually uses them to purchase CC so i'm going to assume that my dealership will not void my warranty if I install it or have them install it. You should call your dealership and ask them if you are unsure or you can call them and see if they sell CC from Billet Technology or another CC manufacturing company. It can't hurt. :)
Re: Catch Can?
If there is damage, they have to prove the part (a CC in this case) is what caused the damage.
Re: Catch Can?
It is very unlikely that a CC can cause damage because it actually prevents damage.

All academic, administrative, and educational support units should include in assessment plans demographic information and mission statements specific to their program or unit.
Step 1 – Define the student learning outcomes and operational goals and objectives for the department or program.
Goals and outcomes should be linked to and supportive of the university's mission and one or more of the university's strategic goals. These administrative objectives may be "process oriented" objectives or may be "outcomes oriented." Process oriented objectives delineate functions, services or processes that the administrative unit wants to improve. "Outcomes oriented" objectives focus on outcomes for the student after having received services by the administrative unit or could relate directly to student learning-what a student thinks, knows, feels, or is able to do as a result of an educational experience. Process oriented objectives will often describe the level or volume of the unit's activities, e.g. the number of students served. An outcomes oriented objective would describe what a student can do after receiving the services of the unit. e.g. complete a resume on-line. In the development of administrative unit objectives, it is important to write objectives that reflect what the faculty and staff value and believe it is important to accomplish.
The number of administrative objectives should be three to five in number. The identification of more than three to five objectives simply becomes too unwieldy to measure and manage. The assessment efforts of the unit and ultimately of the entire university will cease if these efforts are buried under a mountain of paper. As administrative objectives are assessed and results used to improve unit performance, new objectives can be identified and can replace existing ones. It may seem obvious, but is also important in developing a unit assessment plan to "just begin". At times the desire to develop the "perfect" assessment plan results in the implementation of no assessment activities. Remembering that the overall purpose of assessment is improvement, it is not unreasonable to expect improvement in the plans and assessment activities themselves.
Step 2 – Identify and describe the means of assessment.
There is no single best way to measure objectives. The methods of assessment chosen should be those that best answer the unit's questions. Methods of assessment may include but are certainly not limited to: indirect measures such as undergraduate and graduate student surveys, alumni surveys, employer surveys; and direct measures such as tests, portfolios, scoring rubrics, counts or unit activities, response times and the use of external evaluators. Every effort should be made to use at least two different methods of assessment. Assessment methods should be measurable.
Step 3 – Criteria for Success (Action Plan)
Criteria for intended objectives need to be set that establish a reasonable level of service improvement given resources and current personnel. The criterion should not be so low as to not show improvement nor so high that it is unattainable given current resources.
Step 4 – Data Collection/Results of Program Outcomes
The assessment report must identify the methods of assessment and how frequently and from whom the assessment information is obtained. Some assessment methods may be done annually, others may be done less frequently. In addition, some assessment results may be obtained from a sample of students/services while in others cases all students/services are assessed.
Step 5 – Use of the Results to Improve Instructional Programs and Services
The importance of "closing of the feedback loop" can not be over emphasized. It is imperative that the results of assessment be used to inform and improve the functions and services of the academic, administrative or educational support unit. If the results of assessment consistently indicate that the unit needs no improvement, it is suggested that the unit either raise the criterion or look for new objectives. Again, an important purpose of institutional effectiveness planning is program improvement.
Step 6 – Assessment Plan/Report Templates

***** Heel Dangle
I stood in line at the DMV all day and I just couldn't wait to get home and get these heels off! It is kinda nice to do it slowly, one toe at a time, after they have been smashed in those shoes for so long.

94 e 36 318 i sputters backfires
checked for vac leaks, replaced maf, cleaned throttle body and icv, spark wires ok, swapped tps ...q? What would mess with the timing to make it backfire?....heeelp
update, took out dme cleaned the contacts and car is running fine now...i have a sinking feeling this car has been under water
sinking feeling...underwater....hahahahahah!!!!!
did you search 'wet dme repair', and also 'sunroof drains' to make sure these aren't the causes of the water intrusion??
happy sailing....:angel:
Did you do what df said?
Took dme out looked ok, cleaned it same problem cleaned coil connections car running good now, lets see how long it lasts
"Looking at it" won't do anything.
You have to open it and confirm that there is no discolouration due to water having gotten in there and dried leaving contaminating deposits that short out the DME.
Yeah the dme seems to be ok, it doesn't appear to have gotten wet. If it helps when the sputtering starts if I floor the gas pedal the engine catches again but at higher RPMs. Also when the AC or lights are on the problem is worse. The alternator has already been replaced. Thanks for everyones input.
The alternator has been replaced. OK. Is it actually putting out the rated amperage? Because your last clue makes me think it's marginal at best. Turning on the lights and/or air conditioner should have very little if any effect on engine speed and smoothness. I think you're running on battery mostly, and it's barely able to keep the ignition running.
Agreed. Especially if it was a reman alternator. I've had to do 2 alternators under warranty for premature failure this month alone.
I think i found my problem...i took the vacuum line from the fpr and no change,.so i took a pair of vise grips and plugged the line and now the car runs fine, i guess that explains the hard cold starts....on my way to the store to get one
What's the fpr?
Fuel pressure regulator
i fail to see how removing the vacuum to the fpr will make it run better....unless you are running on very low fuel pressure. in which case, a new fpr will probably not be the proper fix for it.
i would check your fuel pressure reading and see what the reading is compared to spec. if low, then replace the pump and fuel filter. like sneakers and laces, they should go together.
Yes iam running lower fp but the sputtering and backfiring are gone...could it be that the fpr is getting stuck
Closed......cause it acts like the car is running out of fuel, thanks for the input
i doubt the fpr is the cause of low fuel pressure. i have never seen one 'stuck' in a low fuel supply issue. ever. they usually leak, due to a ruptured diaphram. the vac line then sucks this extra fuel up and floods the engine. no fuel is supposed to go in the vac line. ever.
they can also fail causing the fuel pressure to go high. like waaaay high. too high. and no change when the vac line is removed from the port, which should push the pressure up about 10psi or so.
your description dd not sound like this, so that's why i stated check the fuel pressure.
what is the reading on the fuel pressure??
problem solved!!!!! Ribbon ground from chasis missing, ground from alternator to chasis loose........car runs great now

Select presents should not be a torture. Usually, a little thing can express your regardness is enough.
Hi EmmaKay,
Here David from UK. My favorite gift is the favorite shirt, which given by my fiancée to me on my first birthday after my management.
Have a nice day.
Last year I was given a 2009 calender which had photos from recent holidays, nice and personal gift.
I like Homemade gifts that carry the message to our loved one that she/he is worth not just our cash, but our time, energy, creativity, and thoughtfulness.
Thanks for sharing
Give something that he can treasure and can be use for a long time.

Thanks, I'll try that.
I am at about 90% with the metal work on the drivers side 1/4. Wife was out, so I spent a good solid 4 hours tonight. I am really happy with the way the quarter panel turned out. I gapped the door at the 1/4, then decided to tackle the passenger side.
The panel to door fit on that side is better, but the door is sitting nearly 1/4" forward from where it should be. I decided "screw-it" I'll regret not fixing it, so I ground the lesser amount of bondo off of the 1/4 at the door gap and went to work. I used the shrinking disc to warm up the metal and move sections of the flange back.
Probably not the best way of doing it, but I'll go to work dollying and shrinking the panel back to fit the door, while removing any bondo.
I wish I simply would have done all this work myself to start with.
Oh well live and learn

Ms. BERKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Nevada's struggling out-of-work families who understand that this Nation's top priority must be putting people back to work.
One way that we can do this is by bringing clean energy manufacturing jobs to our State. My clean energy jobs bill does just that, by transforming our State's abundant wind, sun, and geothermal energy into good-paying jobs that can't be shipped overseas. It does this by getting our priorities lined up with our values.
The bill extends a 30 percent tax credit for clean energy manufacturing companies that is paid for by eliminating the billions of taxpayer giveaways to big oil companies.
Last year, Big Oil made $137 billion in profits. They don't need our money. Unfortunately, Washington Republicans just don't see it that way. In fact, the Republicans vote time and again to protect taxpayer-funded handouts to greedy oil companies. Those are the wrong priorities for our Nation, and they are certainly the wrong priorities for the State of Nevada.
With rising gas prices, it is time to hold big oil companies accountable and make Nevada the hub of our clean energy jobs future.
I urge swift passage of this bill.

Sometimes one finds here fronds of laminaria which have been washed ashore.
The stipes or stalks of laminaria cloustoni are used in surgery.
At first they could see little below them, save a dark jungle of laminaria, with an occasional darting fish.
Stems of laminaria thrown out by the waves should also be carefully examined.
This species is often abundant on the fronds of laminaria washed ashore, and also on Rhodymenia and Fucus.
Algin, a viscous, gummy substance obtained from certain seaweeds, more especially those of the genus laminaria.
Fucus and laminaria constitute the kelp from which iodine is obtained, and were at one time the source of the potash of commerce.
The weeds most valued for the purpose are the Fucus vesiculosus, nodosus, and serratus, and the laminaria bulbosa and digitata.
The shells of laminaria, 23, 24, are completely enveloped in similar lobes.
laminaria digitata, six feet long, is found here sometimes under these circumstances.

Teen Tattoos & Body Piercing
Teen tattoos and teen body piercing are becoming more common. Learn more about this body decor.Body Decor such as Piercing or Tattooing Should Not be considered a Sign of Deviant Behavior
Many cultures have used tattooing and body piercing as a form of body art and adornment. Body decor such as piercing or tattooing should not be considered a sign of psychiatric disturbance or deviant behavior.
Although there are many that associate the practice of teen tattoos and body piercing with deviancy, body piercing and tattooing have actually been around for thousands of years.
Teens and Body Art
There is a possibility that tattooing and body piercing however, may be associated with risk taking behaviors in young adults and adolescents. It is particularly indicative of other high-risk behaviors in adolescents as opposed to college aged students. Teen Tattooing for example was associated with high risk behaviors such as sexual intercourse, smoking, marijuana use and fighting as well as truancy in a survey of adolescents. Tattooing and body piercing are also more likely to be associated with behavioral eating disorder, gateway drug use and sexual activity in teens.
Studies suggest that approximately 10 percent of teenagers have tattoos. Surveys of high school and college students suggest that 25 to 35 percent have body piercings. Of those between the ages of 13 to 25 years of age up to 25 percent will also have tattoos.
Risks Associated with Body Art
There are risks associated with both tattooing and body piercing. The majority of the health risks associated with tattooing and body piercing are related to infectious complications and localized skin reactions. The potential for blood borne diseases however is also present. In a study of college students with body art, 45 percent reported infection at the piercing site, and another 29 percent reported a local skin reaction. Two cases of hepatitis were also reported.
Medical complications associated with piercings may include bleeding, bacterial infection and trauma. Infection is the most common risk associated with piercing. Hepatitis B and C can also be transmitted during tattooing or body piercing if inadequately sterilized equipment is used. This is more a risk among teens who use amateur piercing or tattooing methods rather than among individuals that seek out professional care.
Approaching Your Teen
Adolescents are more likely to listen to any fears and concerns you may have about body adornment if you approach them with an open mind. Teens are more likely to tune into nonverbal cues, and if they see that these are dismissive in nature, teens may discuss body art with someone other than you or their health care provider. Often teens seek out advice from commercial tattoo or piercing artists.
Physicians should work together with patients to provide them with factual information regarding teen tattooing and teen body piercing rather than moral judgments. Teens should also be reminded that most reputable studios require that teens be 18 years of age or older, or have parental permission in order to acquire a tattoo or piercing.
What Can You do to Assist Your Teen in Learning about Teen Tattoos and Teen Piercing.
- Encourage your teen to talk to others who have been tattooed or pierced to gauge their experience.
- Remind teens that the effects (particularly of tattooing) are often permanent and encourage them to consider the long term consequences.
- Encourage teens to take their time.
- Educate your teen regarding the risks, particularly of acquiring body art in a nonprofessional atmosphere.
- Encourage teens to fully understand the health risks.
- Remind your teens about the costs involved in tattoo and piercing maintenance.
To gain a little more patience and whole lot more understanding of your teen, pick up your copy of Real Life Guidance to Understanding Your Teen – it's a lifesaver for so many parents.

Roy Smiles has a good name for a comic dramatist. Yesterday's Afternoon Play, Good Evening (Radio 4), had Smiles exploring the dynamic behind the Beyond the Fringe troupe: Alan Bennett, Jonathan Miller, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. He did the same in his stage play, Yin Tong, for The Goons.
You can see the appeal for a playwright. Wildly disparate individuals, each hugely admired, forming an influence-wielding group which would alter their lives. Smiles hovers over a key moment and seems only to watch, rather than steer, what happens. Since the voices and personalities involved are so familiar, his portrayal feels only lightly fictionalised. The trick with this kind of drama is to capture that lightness of touch.
Good Evening did so superbly, mixing on-stage sketches with off-stage monologues and group banter. Each of these revived and then embellished our impressions of the stars. The four young men were deciding whether to take their show to the US, with Bennett firmly against the notion. They discussed what to do after satirical sketches. "It's not a living for a grown-up," mithered Bennett. "This. I want to do this," said Cook. "I am a genius, after all."

Vladimir Putin began his career in bravery as a member of the Russian secret police. These brave heroes arrested innocent people, carried them away to jails where they were brutally assaulted in the name of the Communist party. Well,Vladimir has sort of given up the part about using the Communist party as a cover for his petty thuggery. These days he has moved from Communism to God. I assume it is a short hop and skip from defending the Communist party, enemy of God and religion to become the spokesperson for religious figures in Mother Russia. In the name of God he sent a group of female singers to jail named the Pussy Riot band. Who but a former Commie thug would be close to God but the one and only Vladimir Putin?
These young women, some with children, had to spend overt a year in a frozen cell in Siberia for the heinous crime of singing! Yesterday, the man who demands all power decided to demonstrate his soft side by freeing Pussy Riot members along with a group associated with Greenpeace. Welcome to the land of Vladimir. Welcome to the man who decides life or hell?
And,just remember, he was trained by the best and brightest of Russia-the KGB.
Do we now lick your feet in gratitude??

I've read through the stickys, for the most part.
I'm not an expert, but I have loading basics down.
No experience with anything other than 45acp/38spl/44mag
I know the cartridge is different, being bottleneck, so I'm going to take it slow.
I've never cleaned my brass, but I do wipe them down and I clean the primer pockets out.
I have an unused Forster original trimmer and Sinclair hand priming tool (bought in case I ever reloaded .30
My question is about powder measures. I have always wanted one of the automatic ones with the digital scale attached, but they cost a lot.
Should I just keep the Lee measure I have and spend money on a digital scale, individually weigh each charge, and do them one at a time?

Intranets do not replace face-to-face communications
by Toby Ward — According to a Harvard Business Review study of Project Management Best Practices in Global 500 Enterprises face-to-face meetings and interaction in the work place is declining rapidly – and instead many teams are working virtually.
Among the results from the study:
fewer than 4% of teams ever meet physically as a whole
fewer than 17% even have individual team members meet in person
more than 66% of teams include members from at least three time zones
57% are cross-functional
48% extend beyond company walls to include outside contractors, agencies, counsel, outsourcers and other third parties
"The implications of this study are clear: the notion of collaboration as something that happens around a conference room table is quaint and outdated," says Chris Cummings in his article Why Document Management and Portal Implementations Fall Short ... "While the physical project space has become a thing of the past, the need for a unifying collaborative environment remains no less critical. This role must now be played by software: to provide a virtual project space that can serve as the primary platform for work team productivity."
This of course is garbage. The physical space has not become "a thing of the past" and "the role" must NOT be played by software. We are all people and the intranet and all of its supporting software and interconnected applications are supporting and enabling technology – not replacements.
Technology and supporting software are important to effective communications. In fact, they're critical components. But they will NEVER replace face-to-face communications.
Many studies support the notion that communications has less to do with what you actually say than how you say it (including tone of voice and non-verbal expression and gestures). We hear this all the time during an election campaign and the post-analysis of candidate debates. This is just as true with employee communications.
Here's a test: ask different workers about the quality of their relationship with their boss and the quality of the direction and guidance they receive from their manager. Now ask them how much time they spend face-to-face with their boss. I guarantee you will see the corollary. Generally speaking those employees with higher job satisfaction have a better relationship with their immediate manager than those that don't have a satisfactory (or less than satisfactory) relationship with their manager. Without a prior one-on-one relationship it is very hard to have a good relationship with someone without face-to-face time.
"Despite the rise of emails and intranets, employers still value face-to-face sessions the most when it comes to keeping staff up-to-date, according to a British survey," states a report from Management-Issues (see You can't beat face-to-face communication). "The study by specialist journal IRS Employment Review found that, while organisations do now use an extensive range of communication methods, including online systems, handbooks, newsletters and memos, team briefings, executive briefing sessions and road shows tended to work best."
And effective communications is critical to any organization. It's not just about staffing, project management and supporting technology.
The Watson Wyatt 2005/2006 Communication ROI Study 2005/2006 study found evidence that communication effectiveness is a leading indicator of financial performance. Among the findings:
Companies that communicate effectively have a 19.4 percent higher market premium than companies that do not.
Shareholder returns for organizations with the most effective communication were over 57 percent higher over the last five years (2000-2004) than were returns for firms with less effective communication.
Firms that communicate effectively are 4.5 times more likely to report high levels of employee engagement versus firms that communicate less effectively.
Don't think for a second that because you have a great intranet and other supporting technologies that face-to-face communications don't matter – or matter less. If anything, a great intranet can distract management and communicators from the need and importance of face-to-face communications.

Here's PreSonus Social Media Manager Ryan Roullard (yours truly) back in the day, when I really believed that:
I still believe the latter to be true. My responsibilities at PreSonus include management and updating of all our social media platforms, writing this very blog, pinch-hitting graphic design, and general emergency response.
Nowadays I hoard gear I find on Craigslist so that you can't have it. Musically I produce hardware-based electronic music, score short films, and play in a heavy nerd-rock band called Protogeist.
[This just in from Julie at BREAKERBOX! Check out the video for their song, "Summertime," below. BREAKERBOX are PreSonus stalwarts through-and-through, taking advantage of the Central Station Plus, FireBox, a pair of FP10s, and the HP4 in their productions.]
Just wanted to touch base with you and to thank you and the folks at PreSonus on behalf of myself and BREAKERBOX for posting the launch of the #SUMMERTIME official music video. In only a few weeks, the video has gone viral reaching currently just over 306K views!
As you know, breaking a new rock band today isn't the easiest of tasks, Scott & Christina started their own company 2 years ago, retaining all of their own publishing and distribution rights- along with a healthy team of sponsors such as yourselves they have reached a fantastic point in their career with BREAKERBOX where industry is finally starting to pay very strong attention.
Again, thank you for the support and for the great products!

Hell's Kitchen 5 had a good finish to the show… Paula DaSilva and Danny Veltri deserved to be there!! I, as a viewer, am over the moon because that makes 2 shows I felt this way about in 2 weeks TAR & HK!!!
Paula's Red team consisted of Andrea, LA and Lacey. I felt bad for Paula because I do think Lacey was a drain on the team. I still find the return of Lacey to be a huge blunder on Chef Ramsey's part that makes Hell's Kitchen a joke. Danny's Blue team consisted of Ben, Gio and Carol. I was worried about Danny after hearing Gio's bitter talk but was glad to see him get the job done. I was also relieved to see that Carol did her part desite her hope that Pauls would be victorious.
The resturant designs were very different and personally I liked Paula's better. I felt it was a more inviting and upbeat area. Danny's made me think he is looking to cover up mistakes that fell on the floor and the name The Velvet Hammer…Ben said it best with his comment about it sounding like a porn place!! I thought it was nice to see Ben and Andrea share a laugh!!
Season 5 held the most resentful return of contestants and the fact they seemed to think that they got screwed..can't help but wonder what they will think after seeing how stupid some look ranting on the shows this season…oh to be a fly on the wall!!
FOX is moving forward with the announcement that Hell's Kitchen 6 will join the summer line-up with a 2 hour premiere on Tuesday, July 21 and will be seen in a regular slot on Tuesday's.

We arrived in Port Canaveral on Friday around lunchtime. I was still a little apprehensive. I was not exactly sure that I would enjoy cruising. I had called to check on the girls no less than 10 times because I knew that I would not get to talk to them on Saturday and Sunday (no cell service on my phone and M's phone would be $7.99 / minute). We made it through U.S. Customs and boarded the ship. The weather was warm (70ish) but with a strong breeze. We found the 5th floor and made our way to our room. Below is a picture of our stateroom.
Here is the hubby showing off our room with a view. We had a window!
A picture from the deck of the ship. We were still docked in Port Canaveral. I felt a little like I was on the "Love Boat" and wanted to yell out, "Bon Voyage!"
The pool deck pictured below. The big circular room with all the windows was a great place to get away (very quiet and private). We found it on Saturday night. After I took a few pics, we went and had a smallish lunch (after all it was already 2:30 and I knew a big dinner was going to be served at 6).

gas smell hard start
I have a problem with an 1989 chevy astro van. I replaced the 4.3 with a rebuilt 350 its got headers fuull dual exaust with some cheepo turbo muffs a edelbrock performer intake edelbrock 550 carb everything else is stock I can smell gas when it is shut off after driving it and yes the charchol? filter is hooked up. it also starts like it's flooded Ihave to hold the gas pedal at least halfway down to restart after driving. when it,s running it runs great lots of power even with stock spec cam. One thing idid not remove the stock fuel injection fuel pump in tank tbi ijust disconnected the wire for it could this be the problem? it has ran like this for over two years. even with the stock v-6 trans that everyone said wouldn't work why the he$# does it start like that? ive check float level. the plugs look great i don't getit any help would be great thanks
Are the gaskets in the carb good? Can you see or feel gas leaking anywhere around the carb? How's your air filter? Maybe the A/F ratio is set too rich.
As far as hard starts, your timing may be set too retarded or you have a vacuum leak (or both). Could be a choke issue too. Do you have an electric, manual or divorced choke?
I'm just throwing things out that have bit me in the past.
