I know it is still early in 1.2 version, but the documentation on Repositories is a bit confusing.
I don't understand what it means "for that store" Being that the only store is Gemfire.The query could be defined by an annotation somewhere or declared by other means. Please consult the documentation of the specific store to find out what options are available for that store.
In Spring Data Neo4J you put
@Query on your repository method. Is that the same here? I thought the @Query was a Spring Data common thing that all Spring Data projects use.

Prisoner to Me
A male, who is a young adult, is sent to prison for eight years for a crime no one in the prison is sure of. Because of his smaller stature, a certain hard criminal takes notice of him. This criminal is in jail for a life sentence, but he is the same age as the other. He recruits the new prisoner to be his slave while he is in prison for eight years, in return of protecting him during his sentence of eight years. What happens when love blossoms between the two? Will their sexual escapades turn into something more? How will they be together after eight years time is up?
All righty here goes my requirements;
*I'm looking for someone to play the current prisoner, while I play the new one who becomes the slave. I can play the other role, but I really prefer to be the slave for this story.
*There will be sex, drugs, and bad language. I don't fade my scenes, so be prepared to handle anything.
*I'm not a nazi when it comes to grammar, but it must be decent. Same goes for spelling.
*Anyways hope to hear from some people! Oh! This will be carried over in PMs do to the mature nature of the RP.

My Four Depression Remedies
It's hard. I know. The world sucks most of the time. If you're like me, you barely get paid enough to live, you struggle to find meaning in the monotony of everyday life, and you still aren't the biggest fan of green vegetables. Staying alive has the habit of either making you hurt or making you numb, and that sucks. But next time you get depressed, think about these things in this order:
- Food - Food is delicious, isn't it? Did you know that you can go to a grocery store and buy whatever you want? You can be sitting at home, hungry and sad, and then you can google your FAVORITE dish, go to the store, buy the ingredients, and make it to your exact specifications. And then you can eat as much of it as you want! "But oh no, I might get fat (fatter), and then I'd just be more depressed!" NO. We have these bodies to enjoy these bodies. Don't divide that recipe for four into a recipe for one—that is what makes people sad—no one ever got sad from eating another delicious homemade, slow-roasted pulled pork sandwich.
- Exercise - Eat whatever you want, but don't forget that we have these bodies and that using them makes us feel good. I always forget, but then I exercise, and I suddenly remember. I spend a few days lost, a few days not knowing who I am anymore, then I go to the gym, and suddenly I can feel my limbs again, I can feel my muscles, I can feel the blood pumping through me and keeping me alive. The lag from the high-ping of everyday life is shortened, and I can feel my body responding to me. I'm not so alone, even when I'm alone.
- Movies, video games, music - Yeah, life sucks, so why not live someone else's life for a few hours? Be transported away to a magical world, shoot some aliens in the face with a space shotgun, listen to a dead guy crone on about a life that's worse than yours. Maybe HD doesn't stand for High-Definition, but instead Happy Depression. It's an oasis of variety in the desert of sameness that's your own life. And as soon as that HD stops working? Start making your own movies, your own video games, your own music, and your own art. Your desert can be another dude's oasis, and maybe they'll let you have a cold drink sometime in return.
- Squirrels. Squirrels are rad, you guys. Find a video or a picture of a squirrel just chillin', and try and still be sad, you guys. You can't. Squirrels are rad.

Patrimonito was created in 1995 by a group of Spanish-speaking students during a workshop at the 1st World Heritage Youth Forum held in Bergen, Norway. The young students designed Patrimonito on the basis of the World Heritage Emblem which symbolizes the interdependence of cultural and natural sites: the central square is a form created by people and the circle represents nature, the two being intimately linked; the emblem is round like the world and at the same time a symbol of protection.
In 2002 a cartoon series entitled Patrimonito's World Heritage Adventures was launched where Patrimonito introduces World Heritage sites, the threats they are facing and proposes solutions to preserve them.
Storyboards were chosen following a competition among secondary school pupils to raise their awareness of the importance of World Heritage and their role in preserving it. The competition was organized by UNESCO on the occasion of the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the World Heritage Convention in 2002. The selected storyboards are professionally animated and produced in CD-ROM format for global diffusion to schools and at World Heritage Youth events.
The cartoon films are based on storyboards made 'by young people for young people' and selected during a Patrimonito Storyboard Competition. They are proving to be useful teaching support materials. They are becoming popular at events held by UNESCO.
The purpose of the Patrimonito image is to popularize and promote awareness of World Heritage preservation and conservation as well as the activities of the Centre among young people. In line with this, the use of the Patrimonito image for personal, educational, cultural, non-profit, and non-commercial purposes should be encouraged.
Use of the Patrimonito character is regulated on the basic principles of copyright protection. The utilization of the character of Patrimonito requires prior authorization on the part of UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
The Patrimonito image/name should be utilized for all projects substantially associated with the World Heritage Education Programme, its objectives and activities. The main criterion for approval should be the educational, scientific, cultural, or artistic value of the proposed product related to World Heritage principles and values.
A decision to approve the use of the Patrimonito image/name should be linked strongly to the quality and content of the product with which it is to be associated, not on the volume of products to be marketed or the financial return expected.
Approval should not routinely be granted to place the Patrimonito image/name on products that have no, or extremely little, educational value. Exceptions to this policy will be considered for special events, such as WH Education forums, training courses, seminars, workshops, meetings and conferences. Request for such uses should specifically document the manner in which the proposed use is expected to enhance World Heritage Education.
Any decision with respect to authorizing the use of the Patrimonito image/name must be completely unambiguous and in keeping with the explicit and implicit goals of World Heritage Education.
Except when authorized in accordance with these principles it is not legitimate for commercial entities to use the Patrimonito image/name directly on their own material to show their support for World Heritage.
Use of the Patrimonito image/name by other contracting parties should normally only be authorized when the proposed use relates directly to World Heritage Education. Requests accompanied by the recommendation and/or approval of the national authorities of the countries concerned should be considered for approval.

I was just looking today for a Spring Template Project and to my surprise I no
longer have the option showing up. Has anyone else run into this problem?
Is there a fix? I have searched the internet to no avail.
I use File > New > Other... Select a wizard... > SpringSource Tool Suite
and find only 1) Spring Roo Project or 2) Task-Focused Tutorial
I am using STS 2.9.1.RELEASE, upgraded from 2.8.1, upgraded from 2.7.1
I did use this at one time. In my original workspace folder on my PC I can see the following listed:
> org.springframework.samples.springtravel-2.5.2-20000702-1200
> org.springframework.templates.mvc-3.0.12
> org.springframework.web.tutorials.webprojectovervi ew-1.0.0
Any option other than re-installing STS (upgrades were painful) would be most helpful.
Thanks very much for your assistance.

Some cities in California are opting for bankruptcy protections, and places like Scranton, Pa. are also having difficult financial times, much like Buffalo's situation a few years ago, but to this point, no out of town officials have called for advice.
"We have not heard from any of these other cities," says Brown, noting Buffalo is working to have others around the country view it as a model for financial recovery.
Brown says the city has been successful at delivering services more efficiently with the taxpayer in mind -- and isn't afraid to look at ways other cities are handling their delivery services.
"Just recently the Control Board voted to go into the advisory mode that the legislation calls for. We've been able to cut the tax rate residentially by 15 percent, commercially by 25 percent," he says.
He says the Control Board voted to go into the advisory mode that the legislation had called for -- and the city is using a performance-based budgeting system, funding the items that are requested by the citizens, the most urgent service priorities, as well as those things that are revenue-producing in nature.

Virtual Private Networks
VPNs do two things. 1. They hide your IP address and allow you to access websites with an IP address different from your own. 2. They protect this connection from outsiders. When you surf the Internet, an IP address unique to your computer is attached to all your traffic. This means that if they want to, any site you surf can see where you are in the world. Along with cookies and other data associated with your computer, they can learn a lot about what sites you surf, and how you spend your time on the Internet. Some people consider this an invasion of privacy. Changing your IP address can prevent this by making you anonymous on the Internet.
When you type a URL into your browser, your IP is making a request to visit their IP. When firewalls get involved, a couple things can happen. 1. The best case scenario is that the request is accepted and you go to the website. 2. Your firewall doesn't allow you to surf the site. This may happen when you try to get on Facebook at work, or Youtube from your school computer. It happens all the time in China because of The Great Firewall. 3. The site you request blocks you because of your IP. Maybe you're coming from a region where a lot of spam originates. Or maybe you're trying to access Hulu / Netflix from outside The USA. Either way, sites can block you based on your IP address. Of course, changing your IP with a VPN can get around this.
When you connect to a VPN, your data is first encrypted and tunneled to the VPN server. The VPN server then acts as a middle man, erasing any traces of your IP address from the request, assigning you a new IP address (from the region of the VPN server), and then connecting you to the site. It's like sending an anonymous package to someone. Instead of your address on the box, its the address of the delivery company. No one knows who you really are. You are essentially "going around" the firewall.
So what's encryption and tunneling? Ok, I'll be the first to admit that details of just how my Internet traffic and IP address are "encrypted" and "tunneled" is a bit cryptic to me. But someone once explained it to me like this, and I think it makes sense.
If you imagine the sending a package scenario for a moment. Now lets say you're worried about who might see you sending this anonymous package. Maybe they see you putting the package in your mailbox or the catch the delivery truck en route. There's potential that they might see the original package, learn where you live, and be able to find you and steal your stuff. So a VPN wraps the pack securely, and puts it is an armored car to make the delivery. This way, if anyone does see the armored car, they can't get inside. If the were some how able to see inside the car, they still wouldn't know what's in the package.
Cool right?
Like I said above, 12VPN is a pretty cool service. It's already very cheap, and with the discount, it's even cheaper. You simply can't find a quality VPN service for a better price out there. Remember that I've tried many over the years – I know what I'm talking about. For SSL/OpenVPN needed in China, some companies are charging upwards of 10 USD a month for limited server locations and bandwidth caps. For PPTP or L2TP (if you're not in China, the price is pretty standard)
In a nutshell, these are the standard things that 12VPN has to offer
- Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android Supported
- Email Support Team
- 7 day money back guarantee
- PPTP, L2TP, SSL/OpenVPN protocols
- Multiple Server Locations in The US and The UK, and around the world
- Free Updates
More importantly through, these things make 12VPN BETTER
Cool stuff
- Super easy installation (no previous experience needed)
- Free Viscosity License for Mac and Windows users ($9 USD value)
- Free Server Switching
- Friendly Support Team
- Unlimited Bandwidth
- US Only Plan is only $6 / month (with discount)
***Stuff for the nerds
- Allows P2P
- Support for lesser known platforms including Symbian S60, DD-WRT, pfSense, Tomato and others
- Military grade encryption (see site for details)
- L2TP with IPSec, Cisco, IKEv2 VPN protocols available
Easy installation (under two minutes) and a friendly support team make 12VPN a great choice for newbies. High-tech badass encryption and fast connection speeds make it suitable for an anonymous surfer on a mission. It might not seem like much, but I think the thing that seals the deal for me with 12VPN is the attitude of the support team. No matter what service you choose, you're likely to run into some sort of issue, and will need to contact the support team. A friendly and "ready to help" attitude makes a world of difference when you're frustrated and ready to throw your computer out the window. Everyone likes to write "quick and friendly support team" on their site, and hope people just believe it. 12VPN actually puts it into practice.
Here's the links for the 10% DISCOUNT again. For details about pricing, scroll back to the top of the page. If you're purchasing a VPN for something other than Mac, Linux, or Windows, choose any of the above and contact the support team with your details. All of the above packages come with support for all available platforms.

The U.S Department of Transportation last week tentatively awarded Delta Air Lines the right to serve Tokyo Haneda from Seattle, after a toughly battled contest among the major US airlines. The following post sums up in brief the reasonings made by each airline, and the grounds on which their competitors contetsed it. United States has four pairs of slots at Haneda as per the bilaterals, to be used between 2200-0700 L at Haneda. The original request was made by Delta, to move its Detroit - Haneda rights to Seattle, which led other airlines to file proposals to use the slots.
American Airlines : Los Angeles - Tokyo Haneda, daily Boeing 777
American proposes its service on the grounds that Los Angeles is the largest U.S mainland O&D market to Tokyo. It argues that the LAX-HND market is presently served by Star Alliance as well as SkyTeam alliance, thus the approval of oneworld member AA's service on the route will pave way for better inter-alliance competition.
The competing carriers contended that the LAX - Tokyo market is already adequately served. United Airlines argued that the LAX - Tokyo market already has nearly twice the amount of service as the San Francisco - Tokyo market does, and that hence its proposal for a San Francisco - Haneda service would be of more benefit. Delta stated that in the event American launches a new daily service between LAX and HND, it will have to reduce its own service on the route. Hawaiian argued that AA's track record of repeated cancellations on its New York JFK - HND service suggests that approving American for a LAX - HND service could be a waste of resources.
Hawaiian Airlines : Kona - Tokyo Haneda, daily Airbus A330
Hawaiian asserted that of the four US airline services to Haneda, its Honolulu - Haneda service has been the most successful, and hence an award for its proposed Kona - Haneda route will make the best use of the slot pair. It further states that Kona - Tokyo is the second largest US - Tokyo O&D market without nonstop service from Tokyo, and is in fact the only city out of the proposals which does not have a nonstop service to Tokyo. While acknowledging that its proposal will largely serve passengers originating from Tokyo, it asserts that the introduction of a Kona - Haneda service will have a substantial positive impact on Hawaii's tourism based economy.
The competing carriers argued that granting the slot pair for a Kona - Haneda service will place half of the limited Haneda slot opportunities in the stat of the Hawaii, and will thus not serve the public interest. Delta and United also argued that Hawaiian does not need a Haneda slot to start a Kona - Tokyo service since it can access Tokyo Narita more easily, and also questioned the timeline for the proposed service since Kona airport needs several updates to its facilities to enable a Tokyo flight.
United Airlines - San Francisco - Tokyo Haneda, daily Boeing 767
United stated that its San Francisco - Haneda proposal would maximize public benefits by combining the SFO gateway with numerous other online connection opportunities. It also argued that this will provide Haneda service in the second largest West Coast - Tokyo market, which is nearly three times larger than the Seattle market. It further argued that it is presently the only US airline serving Japan that is not permitted to serve Haneda using own aircraft and crews, and thus approving its service will establish competitive parity among US carriers at Haneda.
American argued that United should not receive an award since United and its Star alliance partner ANA already command the largest presence in the U.S.-Japan nonstop market, operating a combined 210 weekly nonstop frequencies compared to oneworld's 118 weekly nonstop frequencies. Hawaiian argued that the San Francisco-Tokyo market already has abundant service, and that the market is not large enough to accommodate United's proposed service addition. Delta contended that, if United were awarded a San Francisco-Haneda slot pair, it would reduce its San Francisco-Narita service, while Delta's proposal would inject true new capacity to Tokyo.
Delta Air Lines : Seattle - Tokyo Haneda, daily Boeing 767
Delta mentioned that its proposal would make the most productive use of a US - Haneda slot pair, since Seattle is the largest US - Tokyo O&D market without any nonstop Haneda service. It also stated that through its own services, as well as the partnership with Alaska Airlines, it will provide one-stop service to Haneda from 42 points in the U.S. It further argued that given American - JAL and United - ANA were awarded Antitrust Immunity, they are able to access Haneda through the metal-neutral transpacific joint venture flights of their partners and that Delta is the sole independent network competitor against the two alliances in the US - Haneda market.
The competing carriers argued the viability of Delta's proposed service given the size of the Seattle - Tokyo market and that its service will rely heavily on code-share service of Alaska Airlines. American argued that Seattle is the sixth largest Tokyo O&D market and the smallest market proposed in this proceeding, and points out that Los Angeles is the largest O&D market proposed in this proceeding.Hawaiian asserted that the Seattle market is not large enough to support additional Tokyo service and that Delta's Seattle - Haneda proposal too would face the same fate as its earlier Detroit - Haneda service. United called Delta's arguments based on metal neutrality misguided as the consumers would benefit from the antitrust immunity JV.
The DoT tentaive decision was:
We have tentatively decided that it is in the public interest to grant the motion of Delta to move its Detroit-Haneda slot pair to provide daily scheduled services between Seattle, Washington and Tokyo's Haneda International Airport, rather than select an alternative use for that slot pair.
Since we last examined the allocation of Haneda slots in the 2010 U.S.-Haneda Combination Services Allocation Proceeding, we have had the benefit of two years of U.S. carrier experience operating within the limited arrival/departure-time window at Haneda. We also now have the benefit of knowing which U.S. gateways Japanese carriers have chosen to serve with their limited slot pair allocations - Honolulu and Los Angeles for ANA; and Honolulu and San Francisco for JAL.
Against this background, and having considered the entire record before us, we tentatively select Delta's proposed Seattle-Haneda service. We tentatively find that Delta's proposal would best serve the public interest by providing the first nonstop Haneda service on a significant mainland U.S.-Tokyo route that currently lacks any such service, thereby establishing a new U.S. gateway to Haneda. We tentatively find that Delta's proposed service would further serve the public interest by providing a number of western cities with a first one-stop connecting opportunity to Haneda.
It is not yet clear whether the DoT has placed any restrictions on Delta as for the usage of the slot, following its withdrawal from the Detroit - Haneda services earlier. The full report is available here, and makes for a fascinating read of how important this coveted slot pair was for each of the airlines.

When PSB's Paul Barton recently called me to chat about headphone measurement, it soon became apparent that he'd read every scientific paper ever written about headphones. The first headphone to which Barton brings his ultra-scientific approach is the M4U 2, a noise-canceling model poised to go up against the likes of the Bose QC15.
I don't want to call Paul Barton a brilliant speaker designer, because that might imply that he lucks into occasional flashes of inspiration. No, Barton — founder and chief engineer of PSB Speakers — succeeds because he does the complicated and time-consuming work of building his products using the best science and engineering available. He doesn't base his design decisions on pet theories, casual observations, or the latest line of B.S. circulating among online audio forums. And to my knowledge, he's never allowed market trends, cosmetics, or form factors to ruin the sound of his products.
This is why I was so excited to find out last year that Barton was designing a new iPhone/iPod Touch dock for NAD, PSB's sister brand.

Business Model for a Business Model
The folks behind the book Business Model Generation, Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, have come up with a business "handbook" that is not only user-friendly, helpful and applicable—but brilliant from a business model perspective.
Before launching the book, they created an innovative business model that includes some interesting ways to generate money, a unique visual design approach and a targeted marketing plan. Not only have I enjoyed the book and applied its insights to Malenke | Barnhart, but I also love the model behind it.
The business book publishing space is incredibly competitive and has a horrible reputation for producing puffery. With thousands of business books published per year, many of which fail, they had to do something really different to climb above the clutter. What I have noticed, and they certainly overcame, were common business book pitfalls. Most business books are:
- Boring
- Text heavy
- Too light on visuals
- Lacking in visual design
- Not applicable
- Not tactical
- Too theoretical
- Not modern or fresh
- Fluffy
- Too heady
Here is what they did to create a best-seller:
Made it highly profitable
470 people from 45 countries paid to be a part of the book. Initially they paid around $24, and that quickly scaled to $450 per person–just to be acknowledged in the book. This helped pay for the design and production. They then self-published.
Made it highly visual
With funds raised by the contributors, the authors were able to hire a talented illustrator and designer to create a book full of graphics that appeal to visual people—which is most people. The pages are filled with graphics that tell a story much quicker than a slew of words ever could. The book is actually fun to read, and most importantly— easy to put to immediate use.
Made it highly usable
The "handbook" is based around the "Business Model Canvas", a highly usable template for building a business model from the ground up. The template is downloadable from the book site, and there is also an iPad app to help facilitate the process. The canvas helps businesses quickly evaluate current models as well as establish new ones.
The model is based on nine building blocks:
- Customer Segments
- Customer Relationships
- Channels
- Value Proposition
- Revenue Streams
- Cost Structure
- Key Partners
- Key Activities
- Key Resources
Made it highly marketable
The creators gave away the "Business Model Canvas" and a 72-page portion of the book for free. They created numerous channels for marketing: Alex's website, the book website, Alex's blog and numerous YouTube videos, which share the vision of the book. There are now seminars, conferences and webinars surrounding the "Business Model Canvas" concept. They have a huge unpaid sales staff in the form of consultants and conference speakers using the canvas in their material all over the world. Brilliant.
This book is a must-read for leaders, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, innovators, startups, strategists and consultants.
A few good links:
Another interesting business model:
App Cooker: http://www.appcooker.com/Overview.php
This is a great tool for managing iPad and iPhone development, but what is interesting here is the pricing model. They have created a sense of urgency with a "sliding scale" pricing model. For a limited time, the product is discounted at $19.99, then it will scale to $49.99 as they release new features and reach milestones. But if you lock in now, you get the discounted price. What a great way to get some critical mass and some much-needed funds flowing.

I haven't seen the book, nor can I find the entire title of it. (Everyone just keeps writing that it's the book about the Brannons.) People who say they have knowledge of copies of it state that it was published in 1960 by the Lincoln, AR press.
The elusive book supposedly also states that the Brannons moved to Tennessee after the War of 1812. Since John was born in Tennessee in 1808, I have to wonder if someone has mixed up their Brannons.
So I don't know about the three brothers from Ireland. But I do know about John Brannon, born 15 Sep 1808, in Tennessee - probably Monroe County. His father was George Edward Brannon.
John Brannon married Nancy Webb, daughter of Judge Larkin Webb and his wife Sarah Bray, in 1829 in Monroe County. Sometime between the 1850 and 1860 censuses, John Brannon "removed" his family to northwest Arkansas, to Washington County.
John and Nancy had two sons, Benjamin (born 25 Apr 1830) and James L (born 26 Jun 1835).
Although the two brothers had no other siblings, when they married and began raising their own families in Benton County, AR, together they gave their parents 18 grandchildren.
Both brothers served in the Civil War, along with their father, fighting for the Union in the 1st Arkansas Cavalry. By 23 Nov 1863, James Brannon was discharged from service due to deafness and lung problems caused by the war. He was 28 years old.
James returned home to northwest Arkansas to his wife, Nancy Ann Philpott, and their children. Prior to his service in the war, he and Nancy had three children - John William, Benjamin, and Taylor Curtis Brannon. Between 1867 and 1871, they added four more children to the family - Margaret, James Munsey, Levada M and Floyd Philpott Brannon.
James was a physician and merchant in Mason Valley in Benton County, AR. James died in 1902 in Mason Valley, and was buried in Coffelt Cemetery, as are his parents. Nancy died in 1920 in Marion County, OR and is buried in Salem Pioneer Cemetery, in Salem Co., OR.

By Hank Moore, Corporate Strategist
An Institutional Review is a look at activities that contribute to an organization's success and well-being. This transcends a traditional audit and identifies factors that already contribute well to the organization, rather than simply looking for ways to cut, curtail, or penalize. It is more than just trimming the fat and criticizing incorrect activities in the organizational structure.
This review is the basis for most elements that will appear in a strategic plan, including the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, actions, challenges, teamwork, change management, commitment, future trends, and external forces.
These are the points at which every company must assess its own status and chart the process forward:
The Big Picture
External Marketplace
What a Review Could Include
The components and professional specialties that could be represented in a performance review, per each branch on the Business Tree, include:
Branch 1: Core business, core industry.
Branch 2: Environmental, safety, IT systems design and computer software, training for computers and technology, architecture, engineering, and legal.
Branch 3: Accounting, banking, investments, financial planning, benefits programs, real estate, fundraising for nonprofit organizations, and investor relations services for public companies.
Branch 4: Training for diversity, teambuilding, professional education and development, motivational and executive development mentoring, human resource administration, employee testing, behavioral research, executive search, talent pools, reorganizations, downsizing, executive outplacement, labor issues, and negotiating.
Branch 5: Sales strategy, sales training, marketing strategy, customer service, advertising, direct marketing, public relations, special events, video production, promotional specialties, graphic design production, and Website design-production.
Branch 6: Business performance reviews, research, quality management programs, government relations, public policy, community relations, and re-engineering.
Branch 7: Corporate strategy, visioning, strategic planning, futurism, thought leader program, and emerging business issues.
Expected Results of an Institutional Review
What Well-Run Companies Accomplish
Grounding Factors for Business
Being stable does not mean an organization stands still. Upholding traditions does not necessarily mean one vehemently resists change. Being a family run company does not mean outside stakeholders do not exist. Lawyers go to school to study the law, not how to become a lawyer and run a legal practice. The same analogy holds true for accountants, engineers, doctors, and architects. All are taught professional skills but must absorb along the way the business talents necessary to run their practices.
Authority figures must be effective disciplinarians. They also must be recognizable role models to inspire commitment from their team members. The best leaders are adept at the balancing acts of business priorities.
Organizations are collections of individuals, team clusters, operating units, departments, management philosophies, and ideologies. To gauge the company's future direction and avoid roadblocks to success, independent reviews must be conducted. The objective is to benefit from changes, rather than become the victim of them. By spotting trends and recognizing inner strengths of your existing company, you can compete and excel more effectively than without any strategy at all.

7. | Mendoza | ||
A woman weighing in excess of 200 pounds.
Term originates from former major league baseball player Mario Mendoza's batting average (~.200 lifetime). His batting average, referred to as "the Mendoza line," was basically the cut off for mediocrity. In terms of slang, a Mendoza is a woman who meets or surpasses the 200 lb line. This term can be positive as well as condemning. When hogging, a Mendoza is essentially a bona fide target. For any other social situaton, Mendozas are generally feared and avoided. Guy1: "She's a definite Mendoza, pushing 260"
Guy2: "Fuck. You're going to out-Hog me." ------ Guy1: "I barely avoided the Mendoza at the bar last night. She would have crushed me and ruined my self-esteem." |
1. | Mendoza | ||
A cry of anguish. A man can yell Mendoza in any situation, whether it be his soon to be retired partner getting gunned down by organised criminals, or your dinner falling off the table thanks to an untidy housemate.
Emphasis can be added with a gaze into the sky and a shaking of the fist. McBain: "Scoey! NOOOO! MENDOZA!"
2. | Mendoza | ||
Of relating to relating to men who have the potential to do it all from "a" to "z" and back to "a" Men-does-z-a Friend A: Hey did you hear about Rod he made it to the Olympics!
Friend B: Isn't he an Engineer or Doctor or something??? Friend A: Yeah he's a Mendoza...lucky bastard! |
3. | Mendoza | ||
To spray a partner in the face with semen. Originating from the first Mighty Ducks movie when Luis Mendoza comes to a stop for the first time and sprays the opposing goalie in the face with ice. Also referred to as giving a facial. He is such an ass hole, he gave me a Mendoza.
She is so hot, I'm going to Mendoza her tonight. |
4. | Mendoza | ||
Cold Mountain. Originates from Spain. A person who comes from the Cold Mountain. She is from Mendoza.
5. | Mendoza | ||
v. The act of trashing someone's tent in a drunken fit of rage due to a sticky zipper "What the fuck happened to my tent?!"
"Dude, looks like you got mendoza'ed. I hope you have bug spray." |
6. | mendoza | ||
Means "to be jealous of" or to "have jealousy." "I mendoza your medulla oblongata and perfectly shaped cerebrum."
"Your mendoza about Ginger McPerfect's body is overwhelming." |
