This seems to be the impetus behind Dorner's rage. Throughout his manifesto, he returns to the actions of one specific officer whom he reported as abusing a suspect, but nothing, he says, was done. He claims the officer and others lied to protect the truth. It seems to be Dorner's belief that he was fired because of this, and it seems to be the spark for his larger anger toward the department.

"During this BOR hearing a video was played for the BOR panel where [the victim] stated that he was indeed kicked by Officer Evans (video sent to multiple news agencies). In addition to [the victim] stating he was kicked, his father [redacted], also stated that his son had stated he was kicked by an officer when he was arrested after being released from custody. This was all presented for the department at the BOR hearing. They still found me guilty and terminated me."
Throughout the manifesto, Dorner tries to enlist support for his cause and gives instructions, this time asking the media to cover his case.

"At that point I jumped over my front passenger seat and two other officers where I placed my hands around [redacted] neck and squeezed. I stated to [redacted] "Don't fucking say that". At that point there was pushing and shoving and we were separated by several other officers. What I should have done, was put a Winchester Ranger SXT 9mm 147 grain bullet in his skull and Officer [redacted] skull. The Situation would have been resolved effective, immediately."
Dorner says this unrelated incident came after he heard another officer call someone else a "n****r." Dorner confronted him, but the officer said he'd say it as often as he wanted. Dorner, who is African-American, is very clear in his writing that he should have solved the problem permanently with murder. It's also a sign that he's been violent against colleagues.

"I was the only black kid in each of my elementary school classes from first grade to seventh grade in junior high and any instances where I was disciplined for fighting was in response to fellow students provoking common childhood schoolyard fights, or calling me a n****r or other derogatory racial names. I grew up in neighborhoods where blacks make up less than 1%. My first recollection of racism was in the first grade at Norwalk Christian elementary school in Norwalk, CA. A fellow student, [Jim] if I can recall, called me a n****r on the playground. My response was swift and non-lethal. I struck him fast and hard with a punch an kick. He cried and reported it to a teacher. The teacher reported it to the principal. The principal swatted Jim for using a derogatory word toward me. He then for some unknown reason swatted me for striking Jim in response to him calling me a n****r. He stated as good Christians we are to turn the other cheek as Jesus did. Problem is, I'm not a f***ing Christian and that old book, made of fiction and limited non-fiction, called the bible, never once stated Jesus was called a n****r. How dare you swat me for standing up for my rights for demanding that I be treated as a equal human being. That day I made a life decision that I will not tolerate racial derogatory terms spoken to me. Unfortunately I was swatted multiple times for the same exact reason up until junior high.
"Terminating me for telling the truth of a caucasian officer kicking a mentally ill man is disgusting. Don't ever call me a f***ing bully. I want all journalist to utilize every source you have that specializes in collections for your reports. With the discovery and evidence available you will see the truth. Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. That's what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name."

2. | Suburbanite | ||
The most prevalent vermin in the USA, usually indigenous to the Midwest. Recognized by the following characteristics: -Pretending that they have lots of money, but are actually broke after spending it all trying to impress people with their McMansions, SUVs, etc. -Love of shitty chain "restaurants" such as Applebee's, Chili's, The Olive Garden, IHOP, etc. -Severely lacking in social skills and intelligence, due to their refusal to interact with anyone other than their elementary/middle school classmates from 15-20 years ago. Suburbanite: Ooh, I don't like it in the city! I might get shot or mugged or something!
City Dweller: Stay the fuck out, we don't want you around here anyway! |
1. | suburbanite | ||
The OTHER material that will kill Superman. Holy Shit, Lex, we're out of Kryptonite!! Want me to throw a Suburbanite at him??
3. | suburbanite | ||
Worthless assholes who are brainwashed by the media and are think that they have great fullfilling lives that everyone dreams of even though they dont, even themselves. People who day dream all day about what they should have done and what they could have in another life. They tend to try to get away from the dull roar of suburban life with things such as vacations, theme parks, etc. with their whiny ass annoying kids. They have sucky lives. Word comes from the latin roots "sub" meaning below and "urbanite" meaning people who live in the city and have interesting lives ( "inferior to urbanites") Look at those suburbanites, with their green lawns and ugly houses...what a boring life.
4. | Suburbanite | ||
somebody who lives in the suburbs.
if you live in a small community, you are a suburbanite.
5. | Suburbanite | ||
A person who does not live inside the city limits of Boston, Mass. Many of them grew up in the suburbs or lived in the city until they were five then moved to the North or south shore or some bumfuck town out on the pike. If you do not live in Southie, Mattapan, Roslindale, Westie, Eastie, Charlestown,Downtown, Dorchester, JP, Hyde Park, the North End, Roxbury etc, you are a not from Boston and therefore should stop saying you are from boston. Many suburbanites come to Boston on the weekend with their Red Sox hat and walk around like their the shit and act like they are from the city. They fail to realize that there are other parts of the city. People in the neighborhoods like Dot and Southie say we are from southie and Dot not Boston. Many native bostonians despise these outsiders and fakes with a passion. Suburbanites don't have the right to say they are from boston: they dont put up with the crime, shootings, high taxes, dirty streets, lack of parking spaces, increasing yuppies, traffic, homeless people etc. Me- "Hey where ya from"
Suburbanite- "I'm from Boston" Me- "What part" Suburbanite- "I live in Wellsley" Me- " Oh your one of those ignorant rich suburbanites who acts like they are from the city huh, please drop the act and kill yourself" |
6. | suburbanite | ||
The second most prominent stereotype of americans next to hillbillys.
A person who believes in the freedom to annoy. If one decided to mow their lawn every 15 days instead of 10 then they'd get a nasty letter from the city council. They are more often of the conservative school of thought surprisingly, whilest somehow simultaneously perpetuating their frivolous zoning laws. They contest any and all bureaucratic processes that will allow any public building to be erected, thus creating a gridlock on social and economic progression. They cannot make any real choices in life like building a farm or becoming completely communilized in an urban setting. A suburbanite will always get the shaft in an urbanite dominated media.
There will be no more suburbanites in america in 50 years due to a rise in reasonable thought and lack of corporate pandering to divide the country. |
7. | suburbanite | ||
1. Poor sad scared little person who never takes the time out to enjoy the diversity, excitement and establishments and atmosphere of a great city because they rush home in fear for their lives to their cloned "boxes" of cookie cutter houses the immediate 22 seconds after work.
2.A conceited, self-centered paranoiac who view themselves as so important that they assume that all city people automatically want to take the time out of their day to rob or shoot them at every city corner. Working guy:"Hey Dave, me and the guys are gonna head down to this great restaurant on 25th and Madison after work, wanna come ?"
Working Suburbanite guy Dave:"Are you kidding me ? You guys can go down there and get shot,and get mugged and all of the above if you want to but I'm going to go home to the safety of my quiet boring street and be with my wife who I know is cheating on me with my neighbor because I can't satisfy her but I pretend not to notice and my children who I know are doing drugs in the basement but I ignore it and pretend I have the perfect family!" Working guy:"Okay...you have fun with that |

This innovative piggy bank doesn't just teach kids how to save money...but how to manage it! Created by a banker mom, it features four separate chambers that encourage kids to save, spend, donate, and invest. Each time your child makes a deposit, she's prompted to make a financial decision. (What a fun, easy way to learn the principles of money management!) The transparent body allows kids to track their "accounts," and each chamber has a separate plug for accessing specific funds. Includes parent guide and stickers that help kids visualize their goals. Choose Pink or Blue. For ages 3 and up. See Product Details

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My 6 year old daughter was so excited to receive this piggy bank! She has been so excited to think about how to allocate her money for saving, spending, and charity. Within the first hour, while she was gently adding her money into the different compartments, the piggy bank split in two down the middle! She was so sad. I was able to crazy glue it back together and it seems to be okay now. Hopefully we just got a defective one.

The intelligent way to save money
By Maria
from Miami beach
About Me First Time Parent
This money savvy pig is a really creative way to teach kids how and why save money, it is cute and my 5 years old son, love it. Now he knows why he is saving money. And for me it is an important tool in his financial education.
Great Teaching Tool!
By Kathryn1124
from Texas
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
We bought this pig as a gift for our 5 year old, because we really want to teach him the value of money in a way that he understands. This piggy bank is a great teaching tool! We took his old piggy bank and divided up all the money that was in it to get started, talking about each section (Save, Spend, Donate, Invest) as we put the money into it. Over the years I think it will be a great example for him of how to handle money well.

Our Standard 4 year old gift
By Abbye mom of 3 girls
from Atlanta, GA
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
We start allowance at 4 (and this is a gift for birthday)-one dollar. Four quarters that they must divide in all four sections. We double allowance each year. We try to just answer questions as they have them. For us, spend is spend. Save is Save (like- never touch as far as they can see). Invest is what they save for- like big purchase (bike, etc). We match what they contribute to it ("401-Dave" style like Dave Ramsey). Donate is for whatever worthy cause THEY see fit. MoneySavyPig has a website too for more tips for parents.
Great idea

Great learning tool!
By Sherri
from Bay Area, CA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
I purchased this product for both of my children, a four year old boy and a six year old girl. The different compartments really make them think about where their money is going to go. Both kids are working toward purchasing a gift for Toys for Tots in their "gift" section. It's cool that they can put their own sticker on a section with the item they're saving for. I'm buying this item for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas.
Good gift
By JDJD
from Washington DC
I bought this as a gift for my 3 year-old niece, and she loves it. It's good for teaching about counting and saving, and it's toy that will grow with her as she matures. Right now she just gets excited about putting coins in and taking them out, but soon she'll understand how to use it to save money. My only complaint is that the stickers that come with the bank to use for decorating do not stay on very well.
Not very well made
By ADisappointedMom
from Los Angeles, CA
I love the idea of this piggy bank, but the design is flimsy and dangerous. The little "plugs" on the foot of the pig (for the money to be taken out of eventually, I presume) won't stay locked and fall off constantly. Life with small kids is difficult enough without having spare change tumbling out of a piggy bank all the time if it's moved even an inch or two.
Unique Piggy Bank
By Petunia
from Hooks, TX
This is a great fun way to teach children that having $ is not all about spending as soon as you get it....We had a problem with one of the chamber plugs getting "stuck" half in & half out, but eventually worked it out. Would like to see the chamber plugs redesigned, maybe sturdier. I proudly showed my grandson's pig (a soon to be birthday gift) to my coworkers.

A great teaching tool! Gentle Handling
By shu93
from NJ
About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Stay At Home Parent
This piggy bank is a great concept. It offers a visual aid to show how one can allocate money for charity to help others while showing the child how they can acquire what they want and need in life by developing a strategy for saving, budgeting, and investing. This is a very useful tool that I look forward to using as my children grow older. The only drawback is that it's not very durable and the plugs are a bit flimsy. The plastic is a very light material. It dropped on the floor one time and separated at the seam down the middle. Happily, I guess it's not a plastic that cracks or shatters easily. Better results than if I had a ceramic bank, I suppose. It kind of snapped back together and is ok, but it seems that it will be weaker from now on b/c it's not really designed to come apart and snap back. Perhaps that's the way the company should make it in the future. A heavier kind of plastic would be nice as well. Nevertheless, it is holding up and the educational features are highly desirable. Handle Gently.
Great Teaching Bank!
By April SAHM
from Chandler AZ
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
We have both this pig, and the cow version of this bank. We LOVE it! Both our kids are learning that their allowance isn't all for spending (like real life!!) But some is for saving, charity and investing! We have them give 10% to the three things other then spending so they can learn to understand how to manage money correctly. Love this bank! We had the cow version for a few years and looked everywhere for something like this. In the end, came back and found it again on One Step Ahead. We'd highly recommend.

Teach your kids about money
By dofo
from Mountain View, CA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent, Working Parent
This is great for teaching your kids about money at a young age, which I think is essential these days. The kids love it (we got each of them one - ages 7 and 8), and we even opened up a brokerage account and made their first stock purchase this month. It does require the parents to be active in the process, so don't expect your kids to learn much if you are not willing to participate with them.

And, self-gifting continues to increase in popularity. Six in 10 shoppers plan to spend an average of $134 on "self-gifting" this holiday season.
When it comes to holiday wishlists, the usual culprits cropped up again: toys, DVDs, video games, electronics, jewelry, clothing, food, beauty items and books. But this year, more shoppers than ever told NRF they'd prefer a gift card.
The Daily Journal's business team perused various retailers' wish lists and best-selling items. These gifts, all available in Northeast Mississippi stores, got our attention.

At KV Supply, we offer many pet products to help you take care of your fish, ferrets, birds and hamsters. We understand that your pet is an important part of your family, and KV Supply has everything your pet needs to live a happy and healthy life. Our pet products are hand selected by our veterinary experts to help make your pet care as easy as possible.
Ferrets A good diet is the best foundation to any pet's health care. Ferrets are no exception. As carnivores, ferrets require a high meat protein diet and many veterinarians believe that they benefit from taurine in their diet, just like cats. A high quality dry ferret or kitten food is an excellent choice. Most domestic ferrets need a meat-based diet, so obviously you need to look for diets that are high in meat protein. Should you be adopting a ferret that has been orphaned and rejected by its mother, it will be important to provide them with a milk replacer. Esbilac milk replacer has been saving the lives of puppies, ferrets, guinea pigs and rabbits for over 50 years. Esbilac is the world's #1 milk replacer formulated to closely match mother's milk in protein, fat and carbohydrates. An all wire cage is your best bet for your ferret's home. The cage should be at least 2ft x 2ft x 14in high for one ferret - provided the ferret has plenty of play time outside of the cage. Should you adopt multiple ferrets, or if your pet's play time is more restricted, get as large of a cage as you can afford. At KV Supply we have every pet supply you need to help you keep your ferret happy and healthy.
BirdsWe have many products to help you to care for your pet birds. Cages, perches, feeders and groomers are all an important part of your bird's care needs. Birds, after cats and dogs, are the third most popular pet in the United States but they require a great deal of care and attention. They are complex creatures, and if you take good care of your bird, you will have the opportunity to see what unique pets they really can be. KV Supply offers you the pet supplies that will allow you to give your feathered friend a happy and healthy long life.
Hamsters and Gerbils Gerbils and hamsters are some of the easiest pets to care for as well as some of the most popular of all small house pets. They can actually be very loving and affectionate pets and a great starter pet for your child. There are many different types of houses - from a simple metal cage to a multi-level condo with many connecting tunnels. We have many pet products to suit all of your care needs for your all of your small pets.

2013 Audi S8 engine tech laid bare in new videos
Series shows off 520-hp super sedan powertrain mods
Here's one for the tech geeks: Earlier this month we drove the 2013 Audi S8 sedan, where we came to the conclusion that the 520-hp, 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 was just right for the executive-class cruiser. The S8 is a heavyweight, but it moves like a cruiserweight or better. The 0-to-60-mph sprint takes just 3.9 seconds, or about the same amount of time it takes to sneeze, wipe your nose and get blessed. To show how the S8 makes its magic, Audi posted a few new videos on its media site. The first graphically explains how the cylinder-on-demand function works, leading to the S8's 26 mpg rating on the highway. The second video is called "V8 engine concept transformation." It starts with graphics of a bare block, after which parts slowly trickle in and attach themselves. The process actually looks less complicated than it sounds. Unfortunately, there's no audio of the big engine revving up. The last video shows how air gets into the engine through the two airboxes and makes its way to the turbochargers. After that it gets cooled and rerouted to the intake manifold before fuel is added for oh-so-glorious ignition. It's pretty cool to watch how all the technology works in slow motion and easy-to-understand graphics—even if you already know how everything works.

Yes, Bernie is now in the rehab home for a week or two. I'm off to Minneapolis on Tuesday.
Bernie just got out of surgery. All went well. He's owned the car since 1940 or 41. He is third owner. Purchased here in Fullerton, CA.
Well, my 89 year old friend is having his second knee replaced in the morning. I keep telling him I'm depending upon him for a great party in 11 years. He doesn't think he'll make it but he might. He'll still be driving his '32 Ford V-8 then, too. :-)
today is "philthethrill's" birthday........stop by & wish him a h.b.
I don't wish to check out anything like Actuaries, or whatever it is called. I just don't want to know. I had a mini-stroke in 2001 with 99.9% recovery. I had a gastric bypass in 2006 to improve my chances of "making it" longer. It has gone well. My other health issues are relatively minor and not life threatening (eye issues, bleeding ulcer from gastric bypass, prostate cancer). My fear is running out of money. I have a bit set aside but, who knows! I guess I'll know the answer for sure....in 50 years.
I do remember the OHC Sprint 4bbl. I considered getting one once. It is time to sell my Goat. My ten year old grandson is ill (MDS, a blood disease). His family could use the money while he's recovering from his third bone marrow transplant. You're retiring in 22 months? I'm already getting my Soc Sec but still working for a year or two more. ....reluctantly.

FORT BELKNAP - "This music will make you feel good," singer Mike Talks Different said between performances at last week's 39th annual Milk River Indian Days.
"It's good for your inner soul," dancer Joe Brown Sr. said.
Last weekend's festivities were only the beginning of the local powwow season. Rocky Boy's Pow-Wow begins tonight, with grand entry at 7 p.m. The Hays Community Pow-Wow will be held Aug. 11-14 at the powwow grounds in Mission Canyon.
The main attractions of any powwow are the music and the dancing. Dancers ranging in age from 18 months to more than 80 years move in time to the beat of drums and the wailing voices of singers. The singers are telling stories from their own lives along with tales handed down from past generations.
The music is hard to resist - it sparks movement in both participants and spectators. It's alternately haunting and inspiring. The dancers' motions are precise and fluid, and the color and variety of their regalia provide a continuous visual feast to complement the auditory one of drums and diaphragms.
Talks Different, a Nakoda, is one of the original members of the Fort Belknap Singers. He's the elder of the group, passing along the knowledge he's gained since his grandfather, Ira Talks Different, began teaching him how to sing nearly 50 years ago.
The sound that leaves his mouth, like the voices of dozens of other singers who came to the powwow, is pushed out by abdominal muscles and altered by his tongue.
The songs come from somewhere else, though. They come from memory. They are born within the heart of the singer, echoing the heartbeats of dancers who crouch, spin, strut and leap around the sacred circle of dirt, the center of which holds the revered eagle staff.
For Talks Different, the songs he knows and teaches are a connection to his grandfather and the other elders who gave them to him over the course of his life.
"They had the patience to tell me the stories of these songs," he said. "My grandfather always told me - 'Make the people feel your music. Make them feel good.'"
The music and the movement tell stories that have survived decades of hardship, war, suffering, slaughter, happiness, peace, victory, defeat, abundance, poverty, assimilation and modernization, to be born again and again with each new generation. songs honor members of the tribe who have gone; elders who represent a wealth of knowledge about tradition, culture, language, history, legend and art; and young people who are entering new stages of their lives.
Brown, a White Clay rancher, parked his hay baler in order to participate in the powwow. He was honored Sunday afternoon with the sacred responsibility of carrying the eagle staff, a symbol as important to Native Americans as the American flag. The honor is reserved for an elder or warrior, and Brown is both. He served with the armed forces in the 1950s and was stationed in Korea and Germany. The 68-year-old took up dancing just three years ago, and credits a supportive family with helping him become involved in something he has wanted to do his entire life.
Talks Different began learning how to sing more than 45 years ago, at age 11. His first experience as part of a group was during his freshman year at a boarding school in South Dakota. The music has taken him to powwows all over Canada, along with events in the Dakotas, Washington state and Montana. He no longer travels, but other members of his group hit the road at different points in the season to share their sound.
"I've been doing this for many years," he said. "I hope to for many more. This is who I am. This is what I love to do."
Like anything else, singing requires practice.
"It's a desire to be better," Talks Different said. "It's a lot of self-satisfaction. God gave you a unique voice. You treasure that voice, because he can take it from you anytime he wants."
There are three basic forms of song. One is all vocals with no lyrics, another has spoken words throughout and a third is half one and half the other. The speed of the songs varies with the type of dance, and ranges from slow for traditional dances to very fast for fancy dancing, Talks Different said.
"It's all sound," Talks Different said. "We're keeping a melody for these dancers."
A leader begins each song and is soon joined by the other singers. The group sings through a portion of the song that is then repeated. Each repetition is called a push-up, and powwow songs are made up of at least four push-ups, Talks Different said.
The leader also sets the pace of the group by leading the drum beats. The drum is struck with a stick with cloth wrapped around each end. The Fort Belknap Singers' drum consists of two elk hides that have been scraped, dried, stretched and laced to a wooden base that Talks Different got through a trade.
Brown's son, Clint, has danced for as long as he can remember. The movements and clothing of the traditional style of dancing, which both Browns practice, is a bond that connects them to each other and those whose dance steps no longer fall in the dust.
"This is a way to show how proud we are to be Native American," Clint Brown said. "It's a way to display our love for our culture. There's nothing that makes us feel better than to dress as our ancestors did. We're playing out the stories of our ancestors as well."
Rocky Boy resident Pearl Whitford also has danced all of her life. She danced at Milk River Indian Days in the competition for women 60 and over. Like others, Whitford sees her dancing as a connection to the past.
"This is how our grandparents used to dress," she said. "I was brought up that way. I'm following in their footsteps."
Both their clothing and movements are often remnants of the dancers' tribal and family heritage or pieces of their own stories. Traditional dancers dress as their ancestors dressed daily and wear clothing and ornaments that represent their own names or the names of their extended families. In this regalia, they act out the stories that have been handed down for generations.
The traditional style is not the only one found within the circle. At Fort Belknap last weekend, female dancers also competed in fancy shawl and jingle dress style, while boys and men competed in grass and fancy feather dances. There will be about nine different categories of dances at this weekend's Rocky Boy's Pow-Wow.
Originally, the dances were a part of larger ceremonies. For example, warriors would return from hunts or battles and tell of their deeds by acting out the events, Fort Belknap resident Harris Rock said. Male dancers may tell of tracking enemies or game and the fight that followed.
"The warrior will imitate what he did in battle," Rock said.
The tale is reflected not only in their movement, but also in the items they wear, he explained.
The eagle feathers in a warrior's headdress, like the feathers of the eagle staff, each tell a different story. If the warrior fought an enemy standing up, the feather points upright. A feather leaning to the side represents a crouching position, while one pointing to the ground tells of an enemy lying prone or being dragged over the ground. If a feather is streaked with red, the warrior was wounded in the battle.
Women traditionally did not dance within the circle, Rock's sister, Ruth Long Knife, said. Females would dance in place around the perimeter of the circle because they did not go to war. In some dances, Long Knife said, the girl or woman raises the feathers she clutches to shade her eyes, as if she is watching for her warrior to return home.
Rock and Long Knife agreed that the arts of dancing and singing have both been partially lost. Rock said he can remember certain dances, which he described as acrobatic or gymnastic, that his father and other elders practiced that are now forgotten.
"It's being lost," he said.
In some cases, the younger generations have brought other elements into the powwow circle.
"They are changing things, they are making their own history," Rock said. "They're adopting things and calling it Indian."
Rock, a middle school teacher of Assiniboine language, culture and myths at Harlem Public Schools, said some of his students are interested in the culture that is a part of many adults' lives.
"I found that maybe half of my students are really interested," he said. "The rest want to live by the white culture."
Clint Brown said powwows and the related culture are on the rebound.
"It's coming back big time," he said. "There were times when the powwow was illegal on the reservation. If young people choose to dance and live this way, it's never going to go away."
Pearl Whitford's grandson, Dustin, is an example of the resiliency of American Indian culture. He is a prairie chicken dancer, a style that was nearly lost. Dustin Whitford danced at Fort Belknap last weekend, but his style was not listed as one of the competitions. It will be included at the Rocky Boy event.
The dance was kept alive by the Blackfeet in western Montana and the Cree in Canada, Dustin Whitford said. The song, which came about through a spiritual vision, brings good luck, health and prosperity, he said. Whitford's movements mimic the mating dance of the prairie chicken.
"It's a fun dance, and it's fun to watch," he said.
He said dancing has a spiritual side to it that he uses in his everyday life. He has been drug- and alcohol-free for all of his life.
He also recently became a parent.
"I now have another reason to dance - my son," he said.
While powwows are excellent examples of the beauty and complexity of American Indian culture, this isn't a trip to a museum. Visitors will enjoy themselves, Talks Different said.
"I hope they go home with a real happy spirit, and I hope they keep it that way," he said.

SATURDAY January 13 2001
When Lillian Too talks about the esoteric art of feng shui, even the most hardened and cynical businessman sits up and listens.
After all, this feng shui master was the first Malaysian woman to run a public listed company, then went to Hong Kong to run Dao Heng Bank - the territory's sixth largest bank - and then took over the Dragon Seed Deparment Store.
If Too insists her stellar career and abundant good luck are due to feng shui, who dares say nay?
Her 45 books have sold nearly four million copies and been translated into 23 languages.
Why and how can wearing rings studded with semi-precious stones lure in luck? Shouldn't plain hard work, education, long hours and talent be part of the equation?
"One third of your life is pre-destines by Heaven and this is Heaven Luck. There is almost nothing you can do what Heaven has already apportioned you.
"Then there is Human luck. This constitutes one third of your overall luck and you determine the outcome.
"If you cheat, steal, gamble or get involved in shady, dangerous deals, then obviously you shouldn't be surprised to get arrested by police or come to a bad end.
"Finally there is Earth Luck which involves feng shui. As feng shui can be manipulated and controlled, a person can also enhance his feng shui for maximum impact!
In conjunction with OE Fine Jewellery, Too has conceptualized and designed seven new rings using amethyst, citrine, onyx, blue topaz and ruby.
Like her first collection using diamonds, the rings feature auspicious symbols like dragon, good fortune coins, arowana fish and the phoenix."
Lillian Too's "Colours of Feng Shui" are available in Lot 10 (03-2411688), the KL Craft Complex (03-21613323), Island Peninsula Penang (04-8999880), the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone 3 in Penang (04-6415707) and Plaza Mahkota Malacca (06-2921818).
It can also be purchased via www.oewebstore.com.my.

Collaborative Teamwork Quadruples Global Support PresenceOverviewOil States International, Inc., is an oilfield services company and a leading, integrated provider of remote-site accommodations with prominent market positions in the Canadian oil sands and the Australian mining regions. Oil States is also a leading manufacturer of products for deepwater production facilities and subsea pipelines, as well as a provider of completion-related rental tools, oilcountry tubular-goods distribution and land-drilling services to the oil and gas industry. In 2011, Oil States posted revenues of $5.86 billion.Challenge: Connect Nine Companies to One Global Support GroupOil States International is a highly diversified company that has experienced exponential growth through acquisition. But when it acquires a new business, it also acquires an IT system that will not connect to its existing platforms. "Oil States is a conglomerate consisting of nine different companies spread around the world," said Robb Harper, Lead Technical Support Analyst for Oil States. "Two of the companies had large, automated systems management solutions in place, and the others had smaller, home-grown systems. The fact that the systems were segmented and could not talk to each other created significant problems when it came to supporting our environment."No Standardized Support ProcessesIncident management and request fulfillment are the meat and potatoes of technical support. They were proving to be major headaches for Harper's team. "Each IT group was performing these two critical tasks differently," he explained. "Because we did not have global, standardized support processes in place, we could not implement consistent, repeatable practices across all of our companies. In addition, because we did not have global visibility into the different companies' management systems, we never knew what our fellow technicians were doing. Both issues caused problems. For example, users at companies with small IT staffs might experience delays in receiving services even though technicians at other companies were available to pitch in and help."Inconsistent Fulfillment ProcessIf users wanted to order a new PC, software or other products, the fulfillment process was not intuitive or fast. "If an employee needed a new hardware component," said Harper, "an IT technician would end up researching and choosing items because we could not display all the standard options available to our users. The process was slow and so were delivery times. This was frustrating for the users and ate up a lot of our technicians' time."Oil States' various IT departments needed to work collaboratively. "Each IT group had its own practices and approach to supporting its environment," noted Harper. "In order to align all of our teams, we needed everyone working on a single management platform. We also wanted a system that was process-driven so we could apply repeatable support practices and take control of our global environment."Solution: LANDesk Service Desk Ties Teams TogetherHarper researched several of the leading automated management systems on the market. "It came down to LANDesk and one of its major competitors," said Harper. "We picked LANDesk for several reasons. It is ITIL compliant, which was a big point for us; we wanted to be compliant with a highly recognized framework of best practices. Scalability was also a deciding factor. Our company grows quickly and LANDesk will grow with us and for a very reasonable cost. While price played a part in our decision—we understand that it costs money to work smarter—we always have to do more with less and LANDesk offered the toolset we needed at a very cost-effective price. In fact, we estimate that LANDesk will pay for itself in the first twelve months."High Level of Service, Customized for Each CompanyThe solution allowed Oil States to combine each IT group into one big team. "In one stroke we quadrupled our support presence," said Harper. "The defined workflow in LANDesk Service Desk in conjunction with LANDesk Management Suite allows us to provide a consistent, high level of service to all users around the world. In addition, each of our nine companies has slightly different support needs, and we can customize the solution to address these particular needs. Now that we have a single management platform, we have global visibility into our inventory, software licensing, ticket queue and more. If necessary, a technician in Houston can service a PC in Thailand."300 Items in CatalogThe LANDesk Service Catalog has transformed request fulfillment. "We have over 300 items in our catalog and dozens of views based on company membership" said Harper. "When we first rolled it out, we thought it might be a little overwhelming for the users. But we were surprised at how well it was received by the large number of people who used it, successfully, on the very first day. We customized the catalog so users at each company see only the options available to them specifically. We put the purchasing decision in their hands, freeing up hours of technician time and speeding up the fulfillment and delivery processes."Data Drives Bottom LineData is mission-critical to the success of the company. "If the various businesses under the Oil States umbrella can't access their data," said Harper, "then the IT Department is not doing its job. There is a direct correlation between productivity and revenue: getting users up and running quickly affects the bottom line. LANDesk is instrumental in allowing us to maintain productivity at high levels and help grow the business."
"LANDesk reduces the time we spend on mundane tasks by up to 70 percent or more. We would need at least four more technicians to do what we do today with LANDesk... which is a cost avoidance of some $160,000 a year in salaries alone."
Increasing Efficiency and Cost Savings through Centralized Client ManagementOverviewNuremberg Airport (Flughafen Nürnberg GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany) has approximately 1,000 employees and offers 60 direct and connecting flights to more than 300 destinations worldwide. It manages a passenger volume of approximately four million travelers and over 100,000 tons of air freight. As one of the top 10 commercial airports in Germany, Nuremberg Airport serves as a hub for the carrier airberlin and it is also Germany's third-largest transfer airport.* In 2010, the "Business Traveler Award" named Nuremberg Airport the best airport in Germany for its outstanding service offerings and excellent traffic and transport connections.ChallengeTwo hundred different applications serve the requirements of Nuremberg Airport, including applications for flight planning and handling, access and time registration, tank storage, baggage handling and sorting, as well as for building-related planning and managing tasks. Realizing that the consolidation of IT makes work easier, increases quality and provides savings in software license costs, airport operators wanted a solution for reorganizing their IT environment into a centralized, and thus more efficient and more cost-effective client management solution.The airport's existing heterogeneous IT landscape included Microsoft SQL and Oracle databases; partly outdated UNIX, Linux, and Microsoft server environments; and VMware and Microsoft Windows Vista clients. Novell products needed to be replaced for cost reasons. It was also essential that client management functions, which until then were accomplished with several systems, were centralised.SolutionBased on technical requirements and a cost-benefit analysis, Nuremberg Airport operators decided in favor of LANDesk® Management Suite, LANDesk® Patch Manager, LANDesk® Process Manager and LANDesk® Application Virtualization solutions—integrated in a single console. They compared various client/server tools combined with an integrated solution for application virtualization—an important point in selecting the right technology for as many as 200 software applications. LANDesk® technology represented the solution that best suited the airport's needs. Matthias Wunram, Project Manager, Flughafen Nürnberg GmbH, explains: "The entire package offered by LANDesk stands out mainly because of its ease of use, stability, and continuous innovation. Furthermore, tools like LANDesk® Package Builder and AdminStudio for LANDesk® Edition, along with the Autoit for Windows freeware support the packaging of applications which is very important for Nuremberg Airport."Since the beginning of 2010, Nuremberg Airport has been using LANDesk® solutions to centrally manage its IT infrastructure. In order to ensure the best possible implementation within a short period of time, airport operators engaged Sparxent, a LANDesk partner who provided excellent support during the initial phase of the project. Besides troubleshooting, the LANDesk professionals set up a hardware-independent OS distribution for Microsoft Windows Vista, including driver integration. They also incorporated dynamic software installation as a component of the OS deployment, as well as an automated patch process using the integrated LANDesk Process Manager product. Sparxent proved itself right away as a good choice, and today Sparxent partners with the airport on an ongoing basis for all of its services needs regarding LANDesk, such as training, consulting, and project management.Matthias Wunram is convinced: "We highly recommend LANDesk. Complexity has been greatly reduced by consolidating our client management solutions, and costs with regard to server hardware have dropped. With the virtual bundling of applications, which is an extremely important point for us, they provided an ideal solution," he says. Concerning Sparxent Wunram adds, "Expert advice and consulting, as well as the in-depth understanding of our requirements by Sparxent have significantly contributed to the fact that our IT infrastructure was optimized and works flawlessly. Our staff were also able to benefit from Sparxent's knowledge and know-how of LANDesk solutions."Wunram concludes, "LANDesk client management has already proven its worth in practice. The new system delivers valid data that the airport operators can again rely on, and it is also running smoothly during software distribution."

I am a professional developer, formerly in the "Defense & Aerospace" industry. I was daily entrenched in embedded real-time systems, signal processing, C, Git, C++, C#. My side projects involve Lisp, C#, concurrency and distributed systems, algorithms, math. Sometimes, when my wife is mad at me and my kids won't hug me, I do webby stuff. But I don't tell anyone. I later worked for a small .NET/Sharepoint consulting agency in Dallas, followed by a time with a startup in Dallas.

Forums >Look What I Can Do!>Subject cannot be empty
Out for a run yesterday morning on my favorite semi-deserted trail. I was finishing up a progression-kind-of-run-thing at 7.20 pace for the last mile.
Suddenly a guy passes me quiet as a mouse. What the. Gives me a sort of peace sign gesture over his shoulder and he was gone. The guy's form was sooo fluid and his strides were crazy huge. I was mesmerized watching him pull away. Must have been doing 5.xx.
He had an olympics logo tattoo on his shoulder. Small and discrete. Cheezy? You might say, but if you were to see this guy you might think it made perfect sense.
I can't run with people like that but I love to witness their strength.
Know what you mean
A few years back i was in a 5 mile race or it may have been 10k there were laps and i remeber the leading guy lapping me a Kenyan. It just looked like he was taking a strll in the park so effortless and easy
Sometimes one wonders where some people get their energy from. There's a guy that I see all the time on my jugging route - he's has the same effortless gliding motion about him. The way he runs makes me feel like I should either pack it up or start putting in more effort.
mileage hound
I tried to drop a guy in a 10K once who was obviously carrying a few too many pounds. 5:3X failed to drop him and two more 5:3Xs only led to him striking up a conversation about what a great morning it was. Dead at 5K, I told him I appreciated the conversation but he should go ahead without me as I was done, having PR'd at 5K the night before. He dropped me like a bad habit, running sub-5s through the finish. He already had his warmups on when I finished. Turned out to be a former Olympian just starting a comeback.
About 5-6 months later and 30lb lighter, the dude ran in the finals of the 1500m in the World Championships.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

Hey Jeffrey, nice seeing you out on the trail yesterday. You looked like you were having fun. Glad you liked my stride, I have been working on it!
Peace out
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
It's funny how you say that he looked effortless, but he made you want to put in more effort.
When I was 14, my dad took me to an indoor meet, and I watched Moses Tanui run the 3000m. He left the field behind with 1000m to go, and it looked like his feet weren't even touching the ground. I remember just how relaxed and effortlessly he gave his maximal effort. It was beautiful to see a person able to use his energy so delicately and freely.
I sorta had this realization that much of what we understand as "effort" in running is working against ourselves.

Hey Jeffrey, nice seeing you out on the trail yesterday. You looked like you were having fun. Glad you liked my stride, I have been working on it! Peace out T
Let me guess. You were in a hurry because you left your toddler unattended?
Yeah, epecially since I was jogging around Warringal and the kiddo was in the US.
There's a guy that I see all the time on my jugging route
Many of us probably look that strong and unattainable to other runners, particularly beginners, who struggle to maintain a 12:00-14:00 pace.
testing testing
My absolute favorite part of our big local 5k every year is seeing the 13 minute crew glide by on the out-and-back as I go out and they go back.
But Och! I backward cast my e'e, On prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear!
I had a similar experience last night, sharing a small indoor track with some local elites, including the male (49: xx) and female (56: xx) winners of our big local 10mi race. It was pretty awesome watching them fly by with perfect form on the outside lane as I tried to do some "speedwork".

Dude, you get around!
