I burn the whites of my eyes during long sessions and the glares killZ.
I've been researching some options in eye protection while surfing;
Sea Specs
Kurtis Goggles
The Kurtis seem the best, top notch design with regard to detail and function.
The Sea Specs seem the worst with regard to fog/beading.
Oh and since I surf for myself, I'm not concerned with looks. I respect the line up and don't drop in so what else matters.
Your experience and wisdom is appreciated.

Unbeknownst to most Americans, our government has passed a law committing us to Haiti indefinitely. This includes both money, and human resources.
For those of you that think that we do this for any nation in the wake of any massive natural disaster...you are wrong. Haiti is different. The actions we've taken are unprecedented. Ask yourself why..... Unofficially, we are now occupying Haiti. And not everyone is happy about it. Other nations belonging to the U.N. which have troops in Haiti are publicly questioning our occupation, and our role in Haiti. Strangely, our media is completely ignoring this issue. But thanks to the internet, you have access to this information, regardless of whether or not it is on the television. By the way, Haiti is rumored to have massive amounts of gold and oil. What a coincidence!

Space is still available for antique tractor and farm equipment hobbyists to display their machines at the Got to Be N.C. Festival at the State Fairgrounds May 17-19.
"The display of more than 1,000 tractors and other antique farm machinery is a highlight of the festival, and we've got room for more," said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.
Tractors in working order can also participate in the daily tractor parade through the fairgrounds. Participation is free, but pre-registration is required.
Festival organizers also have a few spots available for independent vendors and concessionaires.
Tractor registration and vendor application forms are available at www.ncagfest.com.
Organizers expect crowds of up to 100,000 over the three days of the festival. In addition to the farm equipment display, the festival will feature the N.C. Food, Wine & Beer Expo, a bluegrass band competition, a carnival and the Pig Jig, a barbecue competition that raises money for Masonic charities.
Kenneth Robinette, chairman of the Richmond County Board of Commissioners, has been collecting antique tractors for several years.
"I've got 1906 A, B and M and a 1929 John Deere 'hit and miss' which pulls my ice cream maker," said Robinette, and explained that a 'hit and miss' only has one cylinder. "It's one of the first engines ever made and some call it a 'poppin John' because of the sound it makes. I used to take it up to Ellerbe for the Farm Parade."
Robinette also said he has a 1907 Thermoil Hercules which was featured in this year's edition of Old Farm Days Calendar, printed by Norman Durham of Pendleton, South Carolina, who travels to shows and collects the images and information.
Robinette's Thermoil is a family original, handed down from many generations. He said his great-great-grandfather used it in Virginia to run a grits mill. During the Great Depression, the family moved to Pacolet, South Carolina, where they continued to operate a grits mill.
"I took it to the Amish in Ohio and they redid it for me," said Robinette, about having the engine refurbished. "Now I put it on a trailer and take it to shows."
Robinette did not say whether or not he would make it to the festival to show off his antiques this year.
Other events at the fairgrounds that weekend include the Raleigh Flea Market, the Chatlee Boat Show and Sale in the Scott Building, the Carolina Rollergirls Derby Expo in Dorton Arena, the Independent Labrador Specialty Dog Show in the Holshouser Building, and Wake County 4-H and District 4-H horse shows at the Hunt Horse Complex.

Purdue University has appointed Steven Schultz as its first in-house legal counsel, effective February 1. As manager of Purdues legal function, Schultz will advise Purdue president Mitch Daniels and the Board of Trustees on a range of legal issues, and hell oversee the provision of external legal services.
For more than 130 years, Lafayette, Indiana, firm Stuart & Branigin has served as the neighboring universitys primary legal counsel. In a statement provided to CorpCounsel.com, partners at the firm expressed support for Purdues decision to change its practices.
In a memo sent to faculty and staff Monday, Daniels said that the adoption of an internal legal counsel model is now the general rule among major U.S. universities. Purdue had been the last of the Big Ten schools to rely exclusively on outside legal representation.
In a press release, Daniels said that by hiring internal counsel, Purdue expects to identify opportunities to improve the way we procure and manage legal services and thereby realize certain risk-management, oversight, and cost-savings benefits.
The change comes at a time when university faculty are expressing frustration with the status quo. At a meeting of the Purdue University Senate Monday, faculty members addressed their concerns with recent legal bills.
According to Purdue spokesman Chris Sigurdson, the university has made $6.8 million in payments to Stuart & Branigin over the last three fiscal years. Fees were split roughly evenly among those years: $2.4 million in 2010, $2.1 million in 2011, and $2.3 million in 2012 .
In an email to CorpCounsel.com, Sigurdson said that specific cases or legal matters were not addressed during the faculty meeting and that the discussion was limited to legal bills incurred over the last 18 months.
University Senate chair J. Paul Robinson said in an email to CorpCounsel.com that the faculty has become concerned about what appears to them to be runaway legal expenses.
Robinson says there hasnt been sufficient oversight and incentive to resolve legal issues reasonably without jumping directly to litigation. He anticipates the installation of an internal lawyer will cut down on unnecessary use of outside counsel. The faculty see central management and review as a welcome process, he says.
Schultz says that bringing oversight of the legal function a little closer to the internal decision-making process was a goal of hiring in-house counsel, adding that cost controls were a perceived benefit of making the change.
The new in-house counsel is taking the position at Purdue after concluding a stint as VP and first-ever general counsel of Southeastern Indiana Health Organization, and a seven-month appointment as special adviser to the State of Indiana on the Ohio River Bridges Project. He was previously executive director of the Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority.
Schultz earned his bachelors degree from Butler University in 1988, majoring in history and political science. He has a J.D. from Yale Law School and an LL.M. from the University of Cambridge.
After graduation, he practiced corporate law at Barnes & Thornburg in Indianapolis and worked in the London office of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson, where he specialized in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and capital markets financings.
Schultz joined Irwin Financial Corporation in 2001 and became general counsel in 2004. Schultz served as then-governor Danielss first chief legal counsel from 2005-2006, before returning to Irwin.
Schultz plans to meet with partners at Stuart & Branigin on his first day on the job at Purdue to discuss how to proceed with their partnership. He says hell have a better sense of which matters will be farmed out once he starts. Im going to be laser-focused on identifying those, says Schultz, adding that he feels fortunate that the firm will still be available to help evaluate legal risks and necessary controls.
Thomas Parent, a partner with Stuart & Branigin, said, This change has been under discussion for a long time, and we have been actively engaged with Purdues Board of Trustees in evaluating various models for the provision of legal services to the university. He added that the firm would remain dedicated to advancing the schools mission.
Purdues first in-house lawyer looks forward to helping the school navigate what he anticipates will be great changes on the horizon in the field of higher education law.
Schultz, a life-long Hoosier, says he was honored that he was offered the position at Purdue. Its a world-class institution, he says, renowned for its reputation, research and educational rigor, and the high caliber of its people.
Schultzs father was a student athlete at Purdue, and at least a dozen other members of his family attended school there. I always rooted for the Boilers, he says. Ive recently been joking to the Purdue folks that although I became a naturalized citizen of the Butler nation, I was born a Boilermaker.

text: Part of what we'll recreate with the 15th Iowa is when they were first issued ammunition at Pittsburg Landing. So here's what we'll do to accomplish it. At registration we'll collect 50 rounds wrapped in arsenal packs from every man except officers. You need to turn these in to get your boat pass. You will only need 50 rounds for the event. You will not carry ANY rounds or caps on the boat as there will be a lot of open flames lighting it. Yes, you'll be inspected before you get on the bus at registration to go to Savannah, TN on Friday. In each arsenal pack you must include 12 caps in a paper tube or someone will have no caps when they are issued rounds. All rounds need to be 65 grains of powder. You will very unlikely get the rounds you rolled as we're collecting 20,000 rounds that are going into 20 ammunition crates. Because we'll issue these rounds from ammunition crates, we want all the labels to be the same. You need to glue these labels to your five arsenal packs. Please follow these directions so everyone has the same 65 grain rounds with 12 caps per pack and the same label. If you registered for the event you were emailed the correct St. Louis label. If you didn't get it, contact your company commander. If you have any problems with your labels, please contact your Company commander. This will be one of many little things that we do that sets us apart from the rest.

No Love For AJ Ellis?
- Monday, June 18, 2012 10:57 AM
- Written By: Dodgers Diaries
Get More: Jane's Addiction, Been Caught Stealing, Music, More Music Videos
Sports Illustrated
recently asked 306 big leaguers to rank the 15 toughest catchers to steal on. It's hard to argue with their perception that Yadier Molina is the best in the business. But the fact that AJ Ellis is nowhere on the list shows that opposing baserunners just haven't been paying attention. Ellis ranks fifth in baseball at throwing out would-be stealers, behind Arizona's Miguel Montero (with a whopping 50 percent success rate), Cincinnati's Ryan Hanigan, San Francisco's Hector Sanchez (Buster who?) and Philadelphia's Carlos Ruiz.
Joe Mauer, who placed 5th on the SI list, has thrown out just 15 percent of baserunners this year. Mike Napoli, supposedly inept at this task, has a better success rate. Yadier's older brother Jose Molina, ranked 8th, has thrown out just 3 of the 19 men who've tried to steal on him.
I don't know whether this is one of those stats that has more to do with pitchers than catchers. Certainly Ellis has been hurt by catching Ted Lilly, whose inability to hold runners on has allowed seven of nine baserunners to advance, and Kenley Jansen, who has never registered a caught-stealing in his short career (he's 0-for-2 in 2012).
What I do know is that this ranking, like the Gold Glove awards, seems to be based not on facts, but on reputation, much of which is established at the plate, rather than behind it. The funny thing is, Ellis has done just as much to acquit himself with the bat as with the glove. Then again, maybe this disrespect is what has made him so successful. Players think they can run on him, so they try it. But 39 percent of the time, they're wrong.

Arthur Stone spent six decades assembling the collection of classic Packard autos that makes up the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum. His love for the Packard's combination of engineering and elegance has resulted in the United States' largest Packard collection, containing one model from each year of the company's 58-year existence. The museum's 30,000-square-foot space mirrors the look of a 1920s Packard showroom, with heraldic-style gas-station signs hanging above gleaming specimens of auto history, all restored to full working order.
Models such as the 2201 Woodie wagon from 1948 demonstrate the manufacturer's innovation amid changing times, and the 1909 18 Speedster evokes an era when saddled cheetahs shared roads with cars. Original concept-design drawings line the walls, and an expansive library contains shelves laden with periodicals and fascinating reading materials.
In 1989, Young At Art began as a small, 3,200-square-foot children's museum dedicated to shaping young minds and enriching the community through the transformative power of art. Since then, the tiny workshop has grown into a 55,000-square-foot collection of activities celebrating the diverse influences of art on our lives and imaginations, garnering a rare accreditation by the American Association of Museums for its efforts. At ArtScapes—one of the four main exhibits—kids and their parents travel through The Cave, a frantic slideshow of images conveying 5,000 years of human history, step into a replica of a New York City subway car, and view examples of graffiti as a means of creative expression against the oppressive forces of aluminum spray cans.
Elsewhere, WonderScapes transports children up to 4 years old to a world inspired by the illustrations of DeLoss McGraw, whose version of Alice in Wonderland won the Society of Illustrators Book of the Year award in 2002, and GreenScapes demonstrates the immutable intersection of art and the environment as visitors build sculptures from natural materials. Never ones to ignore their creativity, teenagers can find refuge in the Teen Center, where a graphic design lab with Mac computers and a recording studio let them convert their pre-calc homework into digital form before it's too late.
Sock-footed children scamper around 7,000 square feet of indoor space that, like most office buildings, has specified zones for different age groups ranging from infants through preschoolers. In the back area, older kids strengthen eye-hand coordination with video games such as Madden NFL, while bounce houses help youngsters expend their boundless energy. In the playset area, kids can play house in a pretend kitchen, play train engineer on kid-sized railroads, or play Godzilla by sticking their hands in dollhouse windows. Infants and toddlers wander around a simpler play area near the parents' lounge, where guardians can keep one eye on their kids and the other on a TV or computer screen. At the end of the day, all surfaces are purified by a professional cleaning service with hospital-grade disinfectant.
The founder of Start to Finish Golf, PGA-certified instructor Lucas Cohen, helps golfers improve their swings with a simple, effective teaching philosophy. Cohen's Start to Finish Concept focuses on establishing the proper grip, posture, alignment, and ball position. The curriculum also stresses finishing the swing on balance and holding the postswing pose—back heel off the ground, club wrapped around the opposite shoulder, hips facing the target, and eyes toward the judges after sticking the landing—well after contact. Cohen and his team of instructors have honed their practice with more than 25 years experience and 30,000 lessons taught.
The Start to Finish concept's underlying philosophy is that golfers who begin and end their swing with sound, consistent form are likely to excel when making contact with the ball in the middle of the swing. Cohen has proven that his methods work, as he has twice been published in PGA Magazine and boasts a record of success as a player, a coach, and a sand-wedge sorcerer.
Laced with the scent of sulfur and the sounds of water churned by unseen forces, the thick air that hangs above the Everglades whispers the rhythms of gator country. The murky water—obscured further by curtains of cattails and floating lily pads—defies human incursion, its protective spells demystified only by the airboat captains of Sawgrass Recreation Park, who gamely shuttle laypersons through the swamp in tours by day and night. While gliding across the shallows at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour, guides halt the propellers of their enormous fans to point out wildlife—which include alligators and various waterfowl—and impart nuggets of history from the days when the Seminole and panther once shared their claim over the terrain. As a part of a conservationist group's effort to educate the public about ongoing rescue efforts in the Everglades, the exotic-wildlife exhibit brings guests face to face with the swamp's most majestic rarities, including black leopards and Florida panthers. In the park's reptile exhibit, dozens of scaly creatures count among them a 1,000-pound alligator named Cannibal, and guests can cradle prehistoric cuties in the Hold a Baby Alligator experience. The swamp-yard-animals exhibit encourages guests to meet or catch a glimpse of pigs, bunnies, and ducks, letting guests establish a deeper bond with the denizens of the swamp.
Everglades Holiday Park unveils the natural splendor of one of Earth's last undisturbed territories with invigorating airboat tours and interactive alligator shows. Visitors to the untamed swamp explore its wetlands and observe its animal residents, and tour guides keep encroaching gators at bay with pointed comments of historic and ecological significance. The powerful airboat fleet features covered passenger compartments for all-weather observation and an innovative zephyr-harnessing propulsion system that allows boats to swiftly skim across the Everglades' grassy rivers while sneaking up on unsuspecting patches of spanish moss. The park is also home to Animal Planet's Gator Boys; most of the reality show's episodes are filmed here.
The park complements boat tours with 20-minute gator shows, which bring patrons face-to-jaw with the impressive mandibles of live alligators and include a presentation that sheds some light on nature's last remaining dinosaurs. The boat captains are always available for private charters, which can be stocked with food, beverages, and ice at the park's 24-hour general store before heading out for fishing expeditions or leisurely cruises through the glades.

You Provide the Passion, We Provide the Training Ground
Martha began thinking about her future during junior year at Rockford Guilford High School in Illinois. She was sure of three things: Whatever she studied would have international value; it would allow her to express her nurturing personality; and it would provide service to other people. The answer came to her suddenly, and it led her to Marquette University's College of Nursing.
"I really wanted to be able to interact with people on a one-on-one basis, and nursing is kind of the essence of dealing with someone in an intimate situation, a situation that has the power to make or break the patient's success in coping with a health problem or injury. Being welcomed into the kind of relationship that exists between nurse and patient attracted me," she says.
Martha Trevey
Advice for incoming nursing majors:
"Make friends with people in your classes so you can have lots of study groups. It's through laughter and humor and friendship that you're able to make it through and study hard."
Biggest surprise about working life:
"It's been such a contrast from my student
schedule, when I was bouncing between classes and activities and friends."
Biggest reward of the job:
"Being able to walk with somebody through the most difficult and intimate time in their lives."
Favorite Marquette memory:
"Being part of the Marquette community, which serves the surrounding community. …Midnight Run (a hunger and homelessness outreach project) was something that really touched me and formed me into who I am."
When she decided to become a nurse:
"I kind of fell into nursing by accident. It was toward the end of high school, and I was looking for something that combined academic knowledge and science and caring and nurturing. I wanted something that would be a universal skill. I eventually would like to do some kind of international work, and nursing is something that crosses all borders."
If she could do it over again:
"I would have taken Spanish classes and minored in Spanish. I'm actually taking a Spanish class through Froedtert right now, and I'm thinking, 'Gosh, I wish I had done this before.'"
Choosing Marquette was easy. The university's mission of academic excellence, faith and social justice, and the College of Nursing's commitment to serve every segment of the human family were in sync with Martha's values. Even as a student, she built connections with the people who seem to fall through the cracks of traditional health care delivery systems.
As a student at Marquette, she traveled to Kenya to work with community health nurses treating HIV-positive patients. She worked at an HIV/AIDS clinic in Milwaukee. She took courses such as Nursing Care for the HIV Patient to build her skills and awareness of some of the social justice aspects of nursing. And she also got acquainted with some of the outright joy that comes from standing with patients during their time of need.
"Junior year I did my obstetrical clinical at St. Joseph's Hospital in Milwaukee, which was amazing. I was able to see a birth almost every week. I stood in the corner of the delivery room fighting back tears. It was great to be present for such happy moments," she says.
She did her mental health clinical at Rogers Memorial Hospital and general medical/surgical clinicals at both Milwaukee's main heart hospital and at Froedtert.
The big challenge came during her pediatric clinical at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, where she comforted a 3-year-old boy who had third-degree burns over 45 percent of his body. "I was informed that social workers were coming to assume custody of this little boy from his parents. Child abuse was suspected. It really made me look at the whole system and know how tough it can be when there are no clear-cut answers. All I could do that day was cuddle him and say a little prayer."
As graduation approached, Martha knew where she wanted to work. Her experience at Froedtert was amazing, she says.
"I loved the academic environment here and how I was encouraged to keep learning. The professor who worked with us pushed us to go beyond general nursing care and look at the pathophysiology of things, to ask the doctors questions, to take a proactive role and really work as a patient advocate."
But she also valued her classroom experience. "The curriculum is science focused, and students have access to these great clinical placements where they develop outstanding skills. But on top of that, we're asked to think deeply about tough questions such as why the health care system is broken and what we can do to fix it. That's the kind of nurse I want to be, and those are universal skills that cross all country borders," she says.
African Experience
Mwende, who gave Martha her Kenyan name of Mwende, meaning "beloved one."
During the 30-hour trip from Milwaukee to Nairobi, Martha Trevey had a lot on her mind. She was making her first trip to Africa.
Martha wanted firsthand experience giving nursing care under such trying circumstances. But as the airplane touched down and she reached for her carry-on bag, she couldn't help but wonder, "Will it be everything I'm looking for?"
Every five minutes, someone in Kenya dies from AIDS. The reality of working in a community that lived with that astounding statistic would test Martha's strength for the next six weeks as she put what she'd learned in class into practice.
She visited villages with no electricity; homes with no mothers. Yet, children still played; women still laughed. Families celebrated what they had. Then one day, she walked into a home and froze. It wasn't the poverty that stunned her. It was the young woman lying on a pallet, so ill she struggled to put her hand out to greet Martha. She was dying from AIDS.
"The guilt was so overwhelming, I couldn't breathe," Martha remembers. "She was 21. We were born half a world apart, but more alike than different. At that moment I felt the enormity of the gift I'd received by attending Marquette, and I knew why I was becoming a nurse."

An American Branch
Kenneth Wayne (author)Product Description
The Japanese post-war economic miracle halted in the 1990s, a time that has been called the "lost decade" by many. Although the country suffered a severe downturn, it was still flush with revenue, so certain sectors prospered. Due to the belief that college ensured a successful career and to the large number of young people at the time, higher education was in great demand. The domestic universities were unable to handle the short-term surge, so some Japanese companies formed joint-ventures with dozens of foreign universities to provide an "international" alternative.
An American Branch finds Wayne's everyman, Charles Journeyman, as the director of an English language program at a new American university branch in Osaka. He is happily married to a lovely Japanese woman, but their inability to have children has created a distance between them. This increases as Journeyman becomes busier with work. Unexpectedly, he is given a seductive reward . . .

Everyone wants to be an influencer. We all want to learn how to help ourselves and others change behavior. And yet, in spite of the fact that we routinely attempt to do everything from lose weight to improve quality at work, few of us have more than one or two ideas about how to exert influence. For the first time, Influencer brings together the breakthrough strategies of contemporary influence masters. By drawing from the skills of hundreds of successful influencers and combining them with five decades of the best social-science research, Influencer shares eight powerful principles for changing behaviors - principles almost anyone can apply to change almost anything.
©2007 Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler; (P)2007 HighBridge Company
"Not the book for everyone"
Influencer is not the book that you might think it is. If you are looking for something on how to become a change agent then this book is for you.
This book is very well researched by its Authors, they include many examples to support the concept they are talking about; Mainly how to influence change, which is broken up into different strategies and each chapter focusing on one of them. So many examples are included hence the 8 and a half hours.
The plus side of this audio book is that if you are someone who is interested in understanding people better, or you work with people, especially psychologists then this audio book is for you. Some of the stories used as examples where a certain strategy was implemented and worked were interesting to know of, some I had heard of before but not in detail.
However on the downside the book is long and can get a bit boring dragging on and on, I reached a point where I just wanted it to finish but I spend almost 1 hour going to work and 1 hour coming back so I had the time to go through the entire book. I know some of you will not be able to.
All in all the good content (especially the real world examples used) out weigh the one negative of this book, that its too long.
So if you are someone who wants to learn strategies to aid you in influencing change on an organization or community level then you will appreciate this book and what it teaches you. I have an interest in psychology so there you have it why I did not rate this book less than 4 stars.
My recommendation to who ever is thinking of getting this audio book is don't, rather buy the book and read it at your own pace.

"Painful to listen to"
Another book that takes other peoples research and uses it to prove things that we already know. Gladwell is the only who can do it and make it interesting this really hard to listen to.
"lack of substance"
Last for 8 hours, but the points are very far in between. Way too much talking but way too little substance, and nothing beyond the common sense.
"I Highly Recommend All 3 Audio Books"
I have listened to both "Crucial Conversations" and "Crucial Confrontations" by the same authors and enjoyed all 3 audiobooks.
My favorite is probably "Crucial Conversations" and you can read my review on that title. This is probably my 2nd favoratie. I think this one is has even more information. I do like the narrator of "Crucial Conversations" more and I like the format and easy of understanding concept of "Crucial Conversations" a bit more than this one.
There's nothing wrong with the narrator of this book. He has a fine voice, I just like the voice of the other narrator more.
This audiobook is unabridge which means it has more information and real-world stories. I really like the stories shared in this book. I'll probably buy the paperback version of this book as I did the other 2 books. The info is so valuable, I need to see it to fully absorb it.
I like these books so much, I'm hoping to find others in my area to meet with to work on these concept. I bought "Crucial Conversations" for 2 of my loved ones.
I'm trying to figure out how to impliment these techniques into my own life.
The authors don't waste time on cliches or platitudes. They do use clever phrases to help remember important concepts.
Like the focus on the power of stories to change minds. Or vicarious experiences.
"Intelligent and sensible"
A great insight into the concepts of reaching new goals and changing thoughts (your own and others) by focusing on key behaviors. Actionable techniques are presented in an engaging narration.
Since listening to this book, I have noticed how more productive my conversations have become simply by focusing on the key areas described in this book.
This book on my list of favorites.
I'm a lawyer and mediator. I represent businesses in disputes with their insurers and in other complex litigation. I also assist machinery companies and manufacturers (primarily international) with equipment sales, non-disclosure agreements, and business issues. I also mediate commercial disputes.
"Interesting, but ..."
Some really interesting content, but the way the stories are continually interwoven through the story is a bit repetitive. It could have covered the same ground in half the time. Narrator was not my favorite, but your mileage may vary ...
"Great theory, a must-read for entrepreneurs"
I expected this book to be less scientific and less valuable than it turned out to be. Not one of those stupid motivational books, but rather a good theory source with real-life cases as illustrations.
Some of the chapters move you away from the major subject while trying to prove a point, and discuss things like, for example, delaying gratification studies or skills acquisition processes. These topics, however, are presented in a great scientific manner (well, maybe not a scientific, but at least authors are not bullshitting with you and consider you to be smart) and are supplied with data and good examples, so it's a pleasure to read (listen to) them.
I also think this book is a must-read for entrepreneurs, as they are the ones, who must influence people all the time and be good at it. And while they usually learn to do so by practicing, this book might provide a great deal of theory to start with.
"Excellent book!"
This is up there in my top audiobook for the year - right next to "Made to Stick".
It is full of interesting and useful information.
An excellent follow-up book for those who liked Robert Cialdini's "Influence" from the 1980s.
If as a current or aspiring manager or leader you are frustrated because you feel you've gone at a problem in as many ways as you can and still don't see success than this book is a fantastic listen. The concepts are great not only for integrating into your current skill sets but for recognizing when they are or are not happening around you. Kudos to the authors for coming together and introducing these academics and agents of positive change through influence and their stories all in one place. I'll listen again, next time taking notes.
"A++ Excellent in Every Way"
Narrator, structure, content, presentation, all memorable, solid technique, applicable, and worthy of careful study.
Anyone who plans to make a difference -- including experienced change agents -- can benefit from this useful and responsibly researched book.

Good find johnhc
I think you could use and mount the Software file from Mountdir\Windows\system32\config\Software. That represents the HKLM\Software
I'll have to try it next time around.
This is how I do 'pinned to start menu' http://www.msfn.org/...620#entry938620
This did not work on Win 8 VM so far, I installed that Windows 7 explorer for Windows 8 and my items are not pinned. I'll be looking into that.

Earning stripes
We are on the way to the ER, Cole busted his head open.
Words barely heard over the symphony of pain that pull my heart strings, until they groan, ready to snap.
We just watched his head disappear through the window and then there was blood.
Puddles of crimson life gathering in the hollows of the hard brown stone, beside the soft prone body.
He was riding his scooter down the ramp your dad built for your mom and he hit the wall.
Memories pull me away from the conversation...
Logan got going to fast and ran through the chain link fence on his big wheel and hit a boat with his face. (Fourteen months ago)
Logan slipped off the stairs and went 'bounce bounce' on the Tupperware tub and flew into the banister. (Two and a half years ago)
I dove through a barb wire fence, catching my leg, parting the meat about fifteen inches. (Twenty two years ago)
Snapping back to reality, the cold phone pressing into my ear...
It will be alright, he's just earning his stripes.
But I still hear the screams.
[Seven stitches straight across the forehead. Boys, what can I say. ]

Oh my, how frightening Brian. Hope he is not in too much pain.
I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my forehead this summer and had a long sickle shape scar. I'm sharing that to let you know that the once huge scar is barely visible now.
Were you given any scar-minimizing cream to apply for a few months? I was prescribe that and I think it really helped. There are also over-the-counter versions that can be found....
Hope your rattled nerves have settled down. Thank goodness it was not more serious. - January 5, 2010 at 6:03 PM

oh poor wee guy. i hope i don't have to go through this, but i know likely i will someday. my mother said my brother got into so much trouble and hurt himself so many times each week that she was afraid the hospital was going to arrest her for child abuse. he was always galavanting off on "adventures" in the back creek that ran behind our house growing up. boys, yes. boys. put some notes together for me now Brian? for mailing later? I can't seem to find the damn manual.

Boys do test your mental limits along with their physical capacity to heal, don't they?
My youngest has had a broken collar bone, an egg on his head that rivaled anything an ostrich could produce and a lip that saw his teeth come out the wrong side.
He forgets it all and moves on, yet I still flashback to the moments of screams and crying and blood.

Wow! Must have been scary there for a moment. I remember when my son feel down the stairs onto our hard concrete floor. That's the only one so far. Hopefully, your boys are done earning their stripes.

If only we could protect our children from 'ALL' harms.....

I thought I would lose it when they strapped my 2 y.o. son to those little backboards and tied him down to stitch up his finger. He is 22 now and that scar still takes me back there like it was yesterday. Mom's just can't make everything all better. Dammit.

As I was reading I naturally started thinking of all the trips to the hospital with my boy...the accident prone one. Thankfully your son is okay. Sometimes it is the "what ifs" that hit you later that are the worst.

I grew up a block from a hospital, and I still remember one of the kids I grew up with's father running down the street with a busted headed kid in his arms. The family had four very very very very very active kids, and I think there was always at least one of them with stitches in their head at any given time, and I'll bet every time was as scary for their parents as the first.

yikes, poor little guy. luckily my cole takes after me and is very aware of putting his body in danger...

Poor little guy. I hope he heals quickly. One of my daughters had a total of four different trips to the ER for stiches in her head. Geeze
- January 5, 2010 at 10:57 PM
- Mmm said...
Oh no. I do hope he is ok. My youngest is like this totally. Fell on an ice skate of the person who fell in front of him and lacerated his lip in two. If it wasn't for good surgery he woudl have had a speech impediment from then on.
Well, i wasn't much a boy. Only broke my collar bone when I was 4 and then nothing after that except for maybe a handful of bloody knees.
Nicely done as always, dear Brian. - January 5, 2010 at 11:18 PM

that is some way to earn stripes, with a scar across his forehead.

I hope is fine, I am sorry to hear this, he must have been so scared. But I know myself that this happens (my chin). At least he can boost about his scars later in life to potential girlfriends.;)

Hey Brian,
i have been through soooo many accidents that i m always in and out of the ER :D

Boys will be boys is true. I have two boys (well, men now) both 18 and 21 and they were always getting hurt-quads, climbing, paintball-firecrackers-all the stuff that makes a mom shake her head... and wonder "why?!"
I hope he's okay. - January 6, 2010 at 3:53 AM

I've had a few of those expereinces as well - including a memorable rush to the ER with my son's broken arm. And my younger son hs a mighty scar up the back of his neck and head from brain surgery. I tell him (and I believe it) that scars add character.

- California Girl said...
Well, thanks for starting that off in such a horrible way...you scared me! Boys are a major trial in the accident dept. Between my two sons, they had 8 breaks & trips to ER by the time they were 16. True! The older one has now surpassed the younger with arthroscopy on his knee (snowboarding tricks) and a bike accident w/ a car @ college plus appendicitis. All previous accidents were play/sports related. You are in for it.

I was really worried when I first read the post.
My number two earned more stripes than his brother. The ones on his chin were repeats. I can't bear it even thinking about them now. - January 6, 2010 at 4:42 AM

Poor little buddy. Glad to hear everything's okay. Our first son was so accident prone. I lost track of how many times he had to be stitched up. Frightening experience, a child in the ER.

Yes...kids and there adventures.
My Kenzie had 3 ER visits between age 3 and 4 and last year (2008) we had a huge mess when she fell head first (mouth/teeth first) while giving a friend a piggy back ride.

Oh Brian, what you must be feeling and going through during these times. It just seems like boys put their parents through many more of these situations then the girls do. Although I was a tomboy as a girl and probably got hurt more than my brothers. I would get so many stitches that they just stopped taking me to the doctors and my dad just pulled them out on his own. I even pulled some out. Good news is that the boys are okay and in a few weeks Cole will be showing off his stitches and scars. I to this day can still show off all of my scars. It is like a map of your life. Just keep the stories alive and then the boys will always remember things going on in their lives.
Prayers for you and the boys are being sent your way.
God bless. - January 6, 2010 at 5:12 AM

I think grown up boys have a better perspective for the ER visit. You see it as earning stripes. For me, I still feel like I'm going to pass out. And we are frequent fliers at our local ER. Ack.

It's tough, I know. My youngest son had a total of 137 stitches in his young life. Tonka trucks, swings, doors, you name it, he made contact with it. And head wounds bleed something awful.
Oddly enough, he's a trauma nurse now. So hang in there. It gets better, I swear. - January 6, 2010 at 12:13 PM

I have two daughters and two sons - and all of my emergency room visits were with my boys ! They, and I, earned our stripes. And I also hope your son heals quickly.

yep...frightening moments.
my middle boy got a huge gash in his leg one day, ugly--needed stitches. His question coming into the apartment:
'I am going to die?'
Trying not to laugh at a bleeding 6 year old is hard work. - January 6, 2010 at 1:50 PM

ouch and eek Brian!!
.... and I have 2boys and 1girl and I KNOW those sounds, those gut churning feelings that swiftly arrive when the sirens (screaming) sound.
Hope he is feeling better and tell your Mom to keep her chin up, 8 weeks feels like forever but out of a lifetime it is merely a blink. I hope she is comfortable.

How AWFUL!
I am so glad he is okay and that it wasn't worse.
He didn't need to earn THAT many stripes, did he?
A big hug from his Dad will help a LOT though...
and some stories of what happened to you when you were his age will also help wonders.... - January 6, 2010 at 5:35 PM

We had a memorable year when Con had to have stitches out at Urgent Care on Christmas Day.
That was a barrel of laughs.
Poor Cole! - January 6, 2010 at 6:36 PM

Terrifying! Brian, I'm so sorry it happened. Those are stripes we don't want them to earn.

Gah! You know it's going to happen, it's inevitable. You even look back with pride on the scars you carry, but it sucks a little life out of you every time it happens to them.

I had a bike accident at age 11 and smashed my front teeth. I can only imagine what my parents thought when my angel of mercy (the man around the corner) carried me up to the front door and they answered the bell.
Thank goodness your boys have made it through these scrapes. It must be awful to see your child go through that. - January 7, 2010 at 10:59 AM

Ah, like those Red Badges of courage. Hope he is doing better. It is scary. Only one trip to the E.R. for my three kids so far. Believe it our not, it will probably be my daughter who'll be there most often. She's already ruined more knees in her pants that her two older brothers combined. And she's much more trusting or kamikaze, I can't decide.

How was he with the stitches?
Head tramas are the worst. Besides the obvious dangers it is the one place where blood never seems to be endless.
I'm glad he's alright. - January 7, 2010 at 12:10 PM

Ugh, I cringed all the way through this! I remember the first time I saw my daughters blood -- from an accident I mean. She was riding her little toy thing in the house and bloodied her lip. Her dad and I totally freaked out. She was fine until she saw us! Ahhh, to be a young parent. Now I'm like, HEY you're bleeding on my SHIRT!!
glad he's okay... - January 7, 2010 at 7:40 PM

A scream is a horrible thing to have stuck in your mind. I'm very glad he's ok. I've earned my fair share of stripes.

What's that saying - by the grace of God? or something like that? Childhood is rough - and so is parenthood! Glad to hear he was okay - it was probably harder on you!
Hope your mom has a speedy recovery! - January 10, 2010 at 8:57 AM
