Diversity.com Contest Challenge over Bongo Drums & Sponsorship of ERE Foundation's Charity Poker Tournament for Kids
Posted on October 16, 2007
Filed Under ERE EXPO, Events, Poker Charity | 1 Comment
By Dave Mendoza, MasterCybersleuth, Affiliate Partner, JobMachine, Inc.
(720) 733-2022
Bill Bargas, Co-founder and Director of Sales & Marketing at Diversity.com, has a soft heart for charities. He has embraced ERE Foundation worthy causes as a sponsor. He also has a knack for a challenge and he has called one out today.
"There are some folks on ERE's forums mentioning how they intend to win the poker tournament this week, on Thursday, 10/18 at ERE EXPO in Washington DC. I accept their challenge and have formed a poker team to take "it" to them."
The team consists of Bill, and as of yet discovered, card shark, to carry the torch or pull one away from veteran poker legend, Jason Davis, founder at Recruitingblogs.com, and Recruiting.com. I let Bill know I will announce that to all interested charity do-gooders who so happen to be good bluffers and have practice pulling chips in towards there chest at the end of rounds ….. that Team Diversity is accepting champion prospects.
You can reach Bill directly at firstname.lastname@example.com and join up today. Applications for Team Diversity sponsored players are being accepted until midnight 10/17 Wednesday.
If you see Bill at ERE, pull him aside and let him know with a grin and a wink that you have gumption to battle Jason Davis and perennial second placer, Neal Bruce, VP, Global Innovation Group at Monster
Little do all of these individuals know that Perennial "Accidental Winner of Single Hands", Wunderkind, Dave Mendoza, will show his beguiling clueless look at the Charity Poker event to yet again pull victory from the Twilight Zone and then get up and head for the salsa and chips with a yawn and a smile. Ethan Bloomfield and JobTarget know they have their sponsorship well invested in the Spaniard who trains in a confused sweat on the airplane before every game. (I came in third last time, I still don't know how I did it … but trust me it was very cool.)
Bill is planning a major revamp of Diversity.com in '08. The company is seeking your ideas and recommendations for designing a new site with newer, in-demand service offerings for employers and job seekers.
Here's his offer. Please share your thoughts with Diversity.com now through Thursday 10/18/07 and they will award a "chair" at the ERE EXPO Charity Poker Event to the person with either the best set of ideas and/or whose comments get the highest praise from others on JobBoarders. The "catch" is you have to be at the event to receive the prize.
Runner ups will receive a set of Bongo Drums … Yep, every job boarder should have a set – great way to relieve frustrations at the end of the day.
All comments will be appreciated but here are a few questions Bill would like to have addressed if possible:
1: If there were no diversity niche job boards were would employers advertise?
2: If paying for specific job positions were eliminated would employers buy annual unlimited posting/resume search memberships?
3:We think retaining resumes are more liability than worth..we think offering social networking would be better?
4: Diversity is no longer the code word for racial uniqueness..we live in a multi-cultural universe. Employers who are still seeking "minority" applicants cause me severe headaches! These companies are truly lost souls. What are some ways to attract a broader base of multi-cultural,ability and life style job seekers?
5: We think there is a market for diversity recruiting in the UK and Canada. Do you?
6: The new Diversity.com will need sources of income to survive : what services should we offer to help keep the lights on!
7: If you were charged with finding the right web designer who would it be? why?

[Disclaimer: This article is satire, or what we used to call "fake news" before actual fake news started poisoning the political discourse!]
Obama to Make Mel Gibson Gov't Intermediary to BP
'Tell 'em what we really think of their fake top hats, Mel!' prez orders
A Humor Times exclusive
WASHINGTON – Saying that no one else can tell off a lying cheater like Mel Gibson can, the president today announced he is making Mel Gibson his administration's intermediary to BP.
"Since the first barrel of oil started spewing out of that hell hole in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico," a visibly angry President Obama bellowed, "BP has done nothing but lie to us, just like Mel Gibson's girlfriend. We've all heard how he put her in her place, now I've asked him to do the same with BP."
"Sure, he slings racial epithets around like nobody's business, but I'm gonna overlook that," the president explained. "After all, this is dirty business. We need someone who's not afraid to look and sound like a sociopath. We need someone to scare the crap out of BP."
Asked if that wasn't the president's job, Obama said he was simply not suited for the task. "Everyone knows I'm just too goddamned even tempered," he said.
Obama said they've got a plan B ready. "If a Gibson tirade doesn't work, I'll tell BP Mel will make a movie where he stars as BP's Tony Hayward. That ought to do it. Their company's image would never recover."

I have a friend Roy who I'd known since the fifth grade when he'd moved into my neighborhood. Never was sure why we were friends because he was a jock, lettering in both wrestling and swimming and I was kind of a geek.
Still friends after graduation, he was helping me install a faucet on the kitchen sink. He was under the cabinet and I was working on top of the sink area. As he stretched, his shirt went up and exposed his happy trail of luscious curly dark hair from his belly button down through the top of his pants. It was so hot and it turned me on.
I knew he was straight and that he didn't have a clue about my bisexuality.
Anyway, I could not get his gorgeous body out of my mind.
Later that day we were talking and having a cold Dos Equis (XX) and I told him about some gay experiences I'd in the past. I described some of them to him in detail. He didn't protest or anything and actually seemed interested since he'd never saw me that way. I respected his straightness and didn't make a move on him.
A couple of weeks later Roy invited me to lunch at TGIF Friday's. We started out with Buffalo wings and Guinness stout. Over their Smoke Stacked Burger (Beer-braised sausage & onions, Asiago & cheddar between two fresh hickory-smoked burgers with sweet Memphis seasoning, melted sharp cheddar, Tennessee BBQ sauce, BBQ ranch aioli, Applewood-smoked bacon and coleslaw) I somehow managed to bring up the topic of cock sucking again and we talked and laughed a little and enjoyed the day.
The whole time we were talking I was dreaming about sucking his cock. When we were leaving Friday's, I found the nerve to asked, "Will you let me suck your cock?"
Roy looked up at the sky and the side walk, everywhere but at me before he finally said, "Nooo…I don't think so." Then after a long pause added, "Maybe if I was real drunk."
"So," I quickly said, "So I'll have to get you drunk?"
"No," Roy said, "I'm really not interested."
Bummer for me, right?
We went to different colleges but saw each other as often as we could over the next three years and of course, each time I had the urge to ask him again but I never brought it up.
Then last year when we'd both graduated and were back home Roy was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt one day and I could see one of his nipples and it was pierced. I said, "So your nipples are pierced?"
'Yea," he said as he lifted his shirt and pulled on one of the rings. "Go ahead pull it," he laughed, "it doesn't hurt."
So I pulled and played with his nipple rings and Roy didn't stop me for a good fifteen minutes. But that was all that happened that day. I was still scared of pushing my desire. I was reeling inside with wanting to give him a blow job but I resisted.
The desire and the wanting was never far from my mind.
Things had changed while we were in college. Roy had a degree in business from a minor college and was now the manager and franchise owner of his Jiffy-Lube and was doing quite well financially. I know because I was the CPA that did his company's books. At my suggestion, he was even thinking of opening another across town. I was even going to invest and be a minority partner.
Last week Roy came over and sat in my office with me discussing our future business venture. Our main concern was a reliable manager. He put forth the name, Kevin, a guy we'd went to high school with. Kevin had also gotten his degree from the same college Roy had.
We'd been discussing a new store for almost a year while I'd been crunching the numbers and evaluating locations. Toward that end, Roy had hired him as an assistant manager. He'd proved to be a good assistant manager with the potential to run a store himself.
As he talked, Roy stretched back in the chair. His shirt went up exposing the dark hairline again that started my desire. I looked away to avoid my pain of wanting it so bad. Roy gave me a grin but I wasn't sure what for.
Finally, I couldn't hold it anymore so I asked, "Can I suck your cock?"
Roy looked at the ceiling and laughed a little but gave no answer. So I said, "Come on, let me exercise my perversion. I want to suck your dick."
He looked up at the ceiling once again and said, "Uugggghhhhhhh…OK," so I dropped to my knees and looking up at him with a lustful smile on my face, I unbuckled his belt, unzipped his fly and then pulled down his pants.
When I pulled down Roy's underwear, his hard cock, hooked in the elastic of the waistband. It got bent down with his underwear and all at once out popped a good thick, uncut cock with a big, slick reddish/purple spade shaped head under a loose foreskin.
Roy gasped when I grabbed his cock with both hands and ran my tongue over the head. I looked up at him as if I was in a trance and murmured, "I have always wanted to do this."
Within seconds my mouth wide, I engulfed the head of his dick and I rolled my tongue around it, toying with the slit.
Then my hands went up under his shirt to feel his amazingly hairy stomach and his nipple rings.
The feeling was unbelievable after that long desire.
We both laughed as I reached out and cup his balls in one hand, while with the other I pulled him to me as I guided that throbbing dick towards my mouth.
His hands on the sides of my head, Roy started to moan, "Mmmmmmmmm," in a tone I'd never heard out of him before. Going deeper, I took the whole thing in until that dark thatch of curly hair was pressed against my face. Then after some bobbing of my head, Roy kinda of pulled away and groaned, "Ooohhhh shit, I'm cumming. Ooohhhh God suck it."
Roy must have been pretty horny because it was only a couple of minutes before he grabbed my head even tighter, pushed his cock deep into my mouth and groaned, "Aaaaahhhh," as he let loose a torrent of cum in my mouth. I wouldn't let it go and took in one gulping surge of his cum after another. I kept sucking until his balls wouldn't produce another drop.
Knees weak, I got up, looked at him and said, "Now that was awesome."
Roy agreed. "Shit, you're a damn site better than my wife. She acts like she's doing me a favor sucking it and god forbid I should cum in her mouth."
When I moved to sit back down at my desk, he cupped his balls and asked, "You're not finished are you?"
With a big grin I went back to my knees at his feet.
Already dissatisfied with his childless marriage to a prima donna, that day I started helping him hide his assets. By the time he filed for divorce he was near penniless on paper. With no kids and Texas a no alimony state Barbara walked away with nothing. Because they lived in a luxury apartment instead of a house, there was no house. And because they leased rather than bought, not even a car. She got part of the furniture but because she had no place to put it and didn't move it in 30 days she even lost that.
Because I felt sorry for Barbara so I arrange her a minimum wage job working the counter in a cleaners that I was part owner of. I even arranged her a room in a by the week motel within walking distance down the block. I even let her work the rent off on her back or on her knees, depending on how I felt. FYI: now she swallows.
Even though I was now sucking Roy's cock on a regular basis, he remarried to a girl that wanted kids and two years later was the proud papa of a boy and a girl.

So I have a crush & we both unofficially know we like one other. So I know he thinks I like him & He knows I think he likes me. Also we've had some physical contact like we've hugged once but we're always either touching each others arms or legs or getting close up, something like that. Now my all my guy friends do these dumb but funnuy dares all the time & they dared me to kiss my crush. I was going to but then i chickened out cause I thought my crush would be grossed out after. Yet we've had moments where we'd spend 5mintues just staring at each others lips & face. I've though about kissing him and he's blown kisses at me but I'm afraid he's just kiddig around. Should I really kiss him when we're alone? Or bring up the subject when we're alone? Or just wait for him to kiss me?
Should I go for it? Or wait for him?

Super League preview: Catalan Dragons v Hull FC
Thomas Bosc will step in to replace Scott Dureau for Catalan Dragons if his fellow half-back isn't fit to face Hull.
Last Updated: 08/06/13 5:14pm
Australian Dureau was sent for further medical checks after being taken ill during his side's 32-32 Super League draw at Widnes last Sunday.
The Dragons playmaker - who has only recently returned to action after having a tumour removed in January - complained of blurred vision while lining up a goal kick in the second-half of the clash with the Vikings.
Thomas Bosc is ready to step in if his team-mate is not fit to feature, though the hosts are able to welcome back prop Lopini Paea and winger Damien Blanch.
Missing duo
Hull, meanwhile, head to Perpignan without winger Tom Briscoe (ribs) and Mark O'Meley (hamstring), though Chris Green has overcome a bicep problem.
Jason Crookes and Joe Arundel seem to be vying to fill Briscoe's place on the wing after both were drafted into Peter Gentle's 19-man squad.
The Black and Whites travel to France looking for a 10th win in their last 11 outings, the last of them being an 18-6 triumph over reigning Super League champions Leeds in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
"You go over there to sunshine and it is a big distraction," Gentle said.
"You've got the pool and you are in a resort so you can fall into that trap but we are going over there to do a job, not to get a sun tan.
"We've spoken about it long and hard this week. I don't think this group will be guilty of that but we have spoken about it and I'm very happy that we are going over there for the right reason."
Catalan Dragons: Blanch, Pryce, Taia, Bosc, Dureau, Henderson, Casty, Menzies, Mounis, Maria, Pelissier, Larroyer, Millard,Simon, Fakir, Paea, Duport, Vaccari, Escare.
Hull FC: Arundel, Bowden, Crookes, Crooks, Ellis, Galea, Green, Holdsworth, Heremaia, Houghton, Johnson, Lineham, Lynch, McDonnell, Pitts, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.

I've taught English as a second language for eight years, and I'm no slouch. I've taught in Korea and in New York City's Chinatown. I've taken on classrooms of 50 high-school boys at a time. I wouldn't have guessed that one slim Afghan girl would represent my most difficult challenge.
Fareeba had survived the first formative years of her life as a refugee in Pakistan. She eventually immigrated with her family to the States and set foot in her first real school at age 8, five years ago.
On one hand, when she arrived last year at the middle school where I now teach, Fareeba was a fairly typical immigrant student. She spoke English well enough to attend regular classes, including standard academic English, but she still required supplemental instruction in reading and writing, which I provided in and out of a classroom setting.
On the other hand, Fareeba had assimilated American culture with startling speed. She had picked up a sprinkling of hip-hop slang and traded her head scarf for low-rise jeans and a brass-studded belt. She was academically talented, preternaturally savvy, very lovely and fiercely stubborn. She also told fibs, paused languidly before following any direction, interrupted.
"Listen here, listen here," she would announce in my class, tossing her pencil down like a gauntlet. "Fareeba is speaking."Continue reading the main story
She would push; I would push back gently. I hoped that in some small way I could help bring out the potential behind all her bravado. And as the days lengthened into months, her glowering gave way. She would throw a small orange on my desk, or arrive randomly during a study hall to show me henna designs on her hands. She also began bringing nearly every assignment she received in other classes straight to me.
"Fareeba, three sentences and a row of hearts six lines down is not a paragraph," I would say, smiling in spite of myself.
"Oh, snap. My bad." She grinned back.
She troubled me. Yet her untapped abilities thrilled me. I dreamed of Fareeba's future self, imagining her channeling energetic precocity into meaningful work. A teacher, maybe. A doctor?
Then one day Fareeba's regular English teacher pulled me aside. There was something I should know: Fareeba had begun writing an original poem in class for an assignment, and for a second-language student, it wasn't bad: an elegy. The stanzas were for her father, who died of a heart attack in Pakistan. But the next day, her teacher said, instead of turning in the poem she started, she submitted Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard."
I imagined Fareeba typing "elegy" into an online search engine — for surely that was what happened. I tried to imagine what she might have been feeling: Was she angry? Giggling? Wiping away tears? Was there some kind of misunderstanding? Newcomers to English can bring very different cultural expectations to schoolwork. Did she even know what she had done?
But later I heard Fareeba bragging about her exploits to her peers in a way that made their deliberate nature unmistakable.
"Oh, my God," she said joyfully. "I'm in so much trouble."
In the office the punishment was administered: a day of solitary study. It was a stiff penalty, brought on by Fareeba's apparent remorselessness. Her mother, who was there in full Muslim hijab, wept. Fareeba's T-shirt read, "Sweet Baby."
Maybe Fareeba wanted something like this to happen. Maybe she wanted to let the world know that, compared to the poverty and hardship she had seen, copying poetry off the Internet meant nothing. Maybe her own poem was just too painful to let anyone see. There were a hundred reasons, and I supplied some of them to the vice principal when he asked me for my "take on this." But all I knew was a kind of wounded pride. I couldn't understand why Fareeba hadn't come to me with her poem. Had I only imagined the progress we'd made?
On the day of our first E.S.L. class after the incident, Fareeba walked in as if nothing had happened. Afterward she picked up her books and started to leave. I reached out and stopped her. She pinned me with her eyes, black with defiance and pride.
It wasn't the poem I cared about anymore. I was concerned about other, less tangible things. I wanted to tell her how beautiful she was; how she was like an elegy. But I didn't.
"Why did you do this, Fareeba?" I asked at last. "Why didn't you let me help you?"
She stared out the window of my classroom. She closed her eyes. She did not answer.Continue reading the main story

i did the paypal form- how do i aggregate what i sold?Asked by abbyreid on May 03, 2016 at 02:03 PM
I added 3 options
adult, sibling, member- when i pull it into a spreadsheet that is all in 1 column, i need to be able to tally how many were purchased in each category
To my understanding you are looking for a better method of being able to sort of tally or count how many of each of your products was purchased for those catagories since you don't like how it is only shown in one column on the exported spreadsheet, correct?
I had one idea called JotPayments but it looks like it is no longer working properly after testing it so please allow me to explore other options for you to assist you better and I'll update you as soon as I know something more.
I thought of something that may help you with the tally problem.
Instead of using the standard excel spreadsheet I would suggest integrating your form google spreadsheets which does contain the majority of the product information.
You could then use spreadsheet formulas to get that data and tally it for you.
I did the integration- I actually tested it on the original form first, then when it didn't work, tested it on a different form- it still is not working with this particular form- it still just shows all the orders in one box for each user (2 adults, 1 child) all in one box, instead of 2 separate boxes (one for adult and one for child)
on the other form it does show what i need it to in google spreadsheets, but that one does not have a paypal associated with it. It seems that the paypal application is what messes this up.
I really need this to be able to separate the data for this to be usable for me
This is because the payment block is considered as a single field. The dropdowns, textboxes or checkboxes you add are just options inside the payment field.
If you want each options in its separate column in the spreadsheet what you can do is, create those fields outside the PayPal field and use a calculation field to get the total, then pass the value of that field to PayPal field - How-to-pass-a-calculation-to-a-payment-field.
You will have the Payment working the same as before, and each option in individual column in the spreadsheet.

Hear the voice behind Toca Life: School
Welcome to Toca Life: School
Hello and a very warm welcome to Toca Life: School!
Toca Life: School is the third app in the Toca Life series. Like all the apps in the Toca Life series, Toca Life: School puts your child in the director's seat, giving them the control to make up their own stories. That's why you'll find few predefined animations and no scripted scenarios or rules, so that your child decides what happens to the inhabitants of Toca Life, and no one else.
Introducing a completely new cast of characters and scenes unique to Toca Life: School. We hope you find everything you and your child need to tell stories about their school life, such as getting ready for school at the house, experimenting with chemistry in class, grabbing lunch in the school cafeteria as well as playing on the playground at recess or just hanging out in the youth club after school.
If you know your child likes to make a mess, we've added a special feature to the cafeteria to support food fights and, of course, cleaning up afterward. If you find things get too messy, just tap our reset button in the map view and everything will be magically tidied up. And because school rocks, you'll find instruments in the youth club to put on a musical performance.
All your characters can be accessed by tapping the sidewalk sign in the bottom right-hand corner. You can also transport the characters and anything they are holding between locations via the sidewalk.
Screen recording
You might notice a blue film reel icon in the top right hand corner when you are in a location. This is the screen recording feature. It records microphone input along with anything you do on the screen. Tap the button to activate it and you and your kids can record the stories they make. Each recording lasts a maximum of 2 minutes. Afterwards you can choose to preview, export to camera roll, or delete your video.
Moving around stuff can after a while become a bit too messy. If you want to do a quick cleanup you just have to tap our reset button in the top left-hand corner of the map screen and everything will be magically tidied. Also all of your characters' hairstyles and clothing will reset to their default settings.
Are you missing some items you have seen before? Or maybe you'd like to redecorate your home? Head over to the storage location on the map. In it you can find seasonal items and outfits that have been packed away. You'll also find a bunch of storage boxes you can bring with you and fill up. Maybe pack a box with things you don't use right now and move it to storage for later use.
Life Weekly
Life Weekly is your source for the fun happenings in Toca Life! Located in the top right corner on the start screen, this feature gives you fun insights into the world of the Toca Life series! Featuring fun videos and the best tips, this spot will update weekly to give you the inside scoop.
If you'd like to have a bit of peace and quiet while your kids are playing Toca Life, just go to settings on your device and switch off the music in the app. This also gives you the option to turn off the icons on the start screen for what we call Toca News, as well as for the For Parents section, which you are reading now.
With updates and more exciting additions to the Toca Life series coming in the near future, we hope you will find Toca Life a place that encourages the storyteller in everyone, and makes anything possible.

He was disappointed, surprised, confused: why did his girlfriend give him these things for Christmas?
They met at a New Year's Eve party last year. This was their first shared Christmas.
Harry was an extravagant boyfriend. No week had passed with some gift or present for Claire. His only reward was her smile. He expected no other return. Nor did he get one.
A bit sexist, he thought that it was the man's role to buy things for the female. Claire kept her silence on the relationship between the sexes. Sometimes her smiles seemed express amusement as much as gratitude. Harry was too dizzy with passion to analyze her facial expressions.
Claire was the more aggressive of the two. She was better organized. Harry followed the tugs of his emotions. Easily swayed, he went off on foolish tangents. Claire's responses were reserved and logical. She felt secretly pleased to have a name so close to clarity.
Claire was good for her boyfriend. She took control of his feckless disorderliness. At her insistence, he began using Wunderlist. He missed fewer appointments and completed more tasks than ever before.
She managed his money. His credit card debt went away. He opened his first savings account. Claire invested some of Harry's money. Her judgement was excellent.
She modified his diet and hired a personal trainer so make gym time beneficial.
Harry was the man, but Claire was the de facto head of household. He only dimly perceived his growing dependence on his girlfriend. This Christmas day would give him perspective.
Harry earned a large bonus. Claire did not know. He wanted to surprise her. He bought costly jewelry and designer dresses and lingerie.
Even Harry noticed there was something strange about her smile went she opened a box of underwear. For a second he thought she would laugh, which made no sense.
Harry told Claire he wanted nothing for Christmas. That was true. She had presents for him. Opening the two boxes left him confused.
The cookbook made him sad. Why would she give him a cookbook?
The second box contained panties. He remembered her odd smile. Why would she give him female undergarments?
Was this a joke? What was the punchline?
Looking up at Claire's face, she seemed to pity him. Then she smiled. She looked so joyous that he involuntarily smiled in response. It must be a joke. If only Claire would explain.
Claire told him that it was time for Harry to stop eating in restaurants. He must learn to cook. She expected him to prepare and serve excellent meals. He has used to his girlfriend curbing his squandering. This seemed different, odd.
She ordered him to strip and put on his new panties. Reluctantly, he obeyed. She seemed so pleased that he almost forgot his shame.
Claire dropped her own underwear, went over to the couch and opened her legs. She told him to come give her another Christmas present. Loving to perform cunnilingus, Harry crawled to her. She seemed insatiable; he serviced her almost to exhaustion.
The multiple orgasms did not make her drowsy; she seemed more alert, very much in command. Looking him straight in the eye, Claire addressed her boyfriend.
Harry must admit that she was wiser, more mature. He had been very cooperative. Now he must become obedient. He would wear panties to remind him that she is the boss.
Max gaped, opening and shutting his mouth like a fish. No words came out.
Claire, wanting to force the issue, told him that if he could not accept living as her slave they must part. Without submission, there would be no romance.
Harry cried briefly.
Still unable to speak he just nodded his acceptance.
His Mistress Girlfriend told him she had two other Christmas presents that would test his sincerity.
She picked up two boxes, set them at her side. The first she opened seemed to be mostly pieces of plastic. She ordered her slave boyfriend to crawl to her. She grabbed his penis. To his surprise, she put it in a plastic chamber that she locked.
She laughed; Harry blushed. He learned that any future orgasms would have to be earned. Disobedience would keep him locked up. Diligent, faithful service was his only hope for the device to be unlocked.
Ordering Harry out of the panties, she instructed him to bend over the couch. The second box contained a riding crop. Harry experienced his first Femdom spanking. Corporal punishment was neither long nor hard. Future spankings would be severe. This night, her newly enslaved boyfriend needed time to adjust to his changed life.
It has been three years since that Christmas.
Harry does not cook that much anymore. The guidance of Mistress Claire has made him hugely successful. He has earned four promotions. He would cook more if he had the time. He loves personally preparing and serving his Mistress a good meal.
Claire has been proven right. Harry was a natural slave. After the initial shock, he adjusted quickly to servitude.
Owned and ruled by a woman is now a truly happy man.

Last year, Dave Connolly won five consecutive NHRA POWERade national events but missed winning his first Pro Stock championship.
This year, Connolly missed the first five NHRA POWERade national events but now is in position to pick up that breakthrough title.
At the tender age of 25, Connolly has packed a ton of drag-racing experience into his NHRA résumé, and following his impressive victory Sunday in the 21st FRAM-Autolite Nationals at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., Connolly has erased whatever statistical dead weight he has been saddled with since the beginning of the season and has moved into the coveted POWERade top 10.
His team owner, Vic Cagnazzi, spent much of last year's offseason searching for a primary sponsor for Connolly. It wasn't until late March of this year that Charter Communications signed on with Cagnazzi Racing, and it wasn't until five national events had already been completed that Connolly finally joined the action in Atlanta in April.
If Connolly holds onto or improves that No. 10 position over the next three races, he will advance into the Countdown to One, thus having the chance to capture the 2008 Pro Stock championship after letting it slip from his grasp on the final day of the 2007 schedule.
Connolly defeated his teammate, the reigning POWERade Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr., in Sunday's final round -- on a holeshot.
"What a day for Cagnazzi Racing!" Connolly exclaimed minutes after collecting his second national event trophy of the year. "It was a tight race. Both cars are so evenly matched. Everybody involved with our on-track performance did a great job.
"Jeg is the one I looked up to when I was a kid and wasn't racing Pro Stock. He's won championships, and having him as a teammate is definitely a win-win situation. Getting to run him in the final and win on a holeshot is extra special to me. It's good for bragging rights for the Cagnazzi group, but it's a great situation for all the guys back at the shop. Todd Beavis built both cars, and Stevie Johns and Joe Hornek build all the motors. I don't think they really care who won."
Connolly's journey to the top 10 was anything but meteoric. He was a first-round loser in his initial race back but advanced to the next two final rounds, winning in Bristol, Tenn. In the span of those three races, he surged from 25th to 14th, but over the next seven races, he advanced to only one final round, picking up just three hard-fought points positions. By winning this past Sunday, Connolly finally edged Warren Johnson out of the elite 10 and is now within 46 points of Ron Krisher at No. 9.
"We've been playing catch-up all season and now they have to catch us," said Connolly, who fouled out in last year's final event in Pomona, Calif., to end his 2007 title quest. "It's our job to hold them off and keep beating them down as they get close to us."
Connolly's Sonoma win also brought an extra measure of satisfaction to his team owner, whose wife was already about to celebrate a special day on Monday.
"Some days you just get that feeling you're going to win," revealed Connolly in the Sonoma winner's circle. "Tomorrow is Brita Cagnazzi's birthday and she bought a bottle of champagne. I told her after the first round to go ahead and get that thing on ice because we are going to need it."
Despite his five consecutive victories last year, Connolly watched Coughlin salt away his third POWERade Pro Stock crown, and there were many Connolly fans who pointed to the new Countdown to the Championship points system as a major factor in denying Dave the 2007 title.
But this year, it may be the Countdown structure that preserves Connolly's shot at the championship even though he missed the season's first five events. Regardless of the Countdown, Connolly's determined resurrection into the top 10 and potential championship contention is just another clear example of his above-average talent and savvy.
"Since we've come back, I haven't really driven that well until today," he admitted. "I finally got up on the wheel and concentrated. As always, the car was excellent and we were running within thousandths of the guy in the other lane. Now we have to stay on our game and not give back any of the ground we've made up."
And come November, the Cagnazzi team may have yet another reason to ice up one more bottle of champagne.

Samsung's new affordable touchscreen is named Samsung Champ Megacam aka Samsung GT-C3303i. The specifications of the Samsung Champ Megacam are also pretty impressive, of which the catchiest is its awesome multi touchscreen display. The display is 2.4 inches and has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Although the overall looks and the display of the phone are good, the phone lacks good cameras and handset cameras are one of Samsung's specialty. The Samsung GT-C3303i is equipped with a 1.3 Megapixel camera but offers good quality compared to most 1.3 MP cameras in other handsets. The camera features Night mode and is also multi short supportive. It supports shots like Mosaic shot, Timer shot, and Frame shot as well.
One of the important factors which make this handset pretty comfortable to use is its unique user interface. It uses a TouchWiz Lite 2.0 UI. Samsung Champ Megacam is also integrated with social networking apps enabling you to access the seven most popular social networking sites including Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. This GSM handset supports GPRS and comes with a nice WAP browser. Coming with 30 MB internal memory and supporting microSD memory cards, Samsung Champ Megacam can support a maximum extended memory of 8 GB.
One of the coolest features in this phone is that it's WiFi compatible besides another cool spec of v2.1 Bluetooth. It supports WiFi network of 802.11 b/g/n. Samsung GT-C3303i has Mobile Tracker feature enabled in it which is a reliable anti theft measure. This handset has an integrated internal antenna enabling noise reduced FM with recording feature. The Media player in this handset is commendable as its music players feature 3D sound technology enhancing the audio quality and volume besides the good loudspeakers. Weighing about 90 grams, Megacam gets its juice from a 1000 mAh Lithium ion battery. This efficient battery gives the phone up to 12 hours of talktime and allows about 666 hours in standby mode as well.
Samsung Champ Megacam can be yours for a remarkably low price in India of about Rs 3,400/-.

Reading is very important in our life. We can gain much knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds and eyes to the world outside but also make us cleverer and happier. The more books we read, the more quickly we will improve our learning ability. Reading also helps us grow up into useful people to the society.
However, it's a great pity that many activities such as listening to music, watching TV and surfing the Internet take up much of our reading time. Therefore, we should overcome difficulties and look for much more time to read more meaningful books. At the same time, I would like to suggest that everyone spend much time in reading good books every day. I believe that it will bring us much more wisdom and power.
Let's start reading from now on.
Reading Is Very Important in Our Life

Indeed, doesn't more rejuvenation in general, not just in sleep, come from less fluff?
For some anecdotal evidence, my five year old daughter slept on a pretty hard mattress as a baby, but ever since she was old enough to climb out of the crib she started sleeping on the floor. She doesn't own a bed just a blanket on the floor.
All my kids sleep on the floor, 90% of the time :). I have 4 beds that do not get used, I've told the wife we should just sell them and get it over with, the kids would have more room in their rooms 🙂
My kids sleep on the floor every night too. The only reason we haven't gotten rid of their beds is worrying about what others would think if we did.
I wonder if this would help hubby who never gets good sleep (and we've owned every kind of bed out there incl. sleep # and mem foam).
I am listening to the interview with Mercola right now – great job! I used to be a huge fan of Mercola before I went primal.
I stopped reading his articles because it seemed like everything to him was toxic…
Maybe he has slightly changed. I can't wait to watch all 7 parts.
Do you have any idea when each part will be released?
haha, that is so funny, that's exactly the reason I stopped reading his articles. he flips out about everything. i cant drink water from bottles, i cant use my cell phone, i cant use wireless internet, lol the list goes on.
he's got some great information, but he's a little excessive
All 7 parts are up on YouTube.
Ah, yes they are! I am not sure why I did not even bother to look. Thank you!
Same here. I figure if something's of consequence to the primal way of life, eventually Mark or Art DeVany will cover it. That's good enough for me.
Also listening to the mercola inerview. Something nice to listen to on a sunday morning!
If we are to sleep on the floor with minimal padding, should we still use a pillow, or also use a very thin pillow?
I draw the line at my mattress. I like plush. I sleep better on plush. Perhaps biphasic sleep arose from the fact that if you sleep for four hours on a hard surface you HAVE to get up and move around because you're so stiff. Everyone is different, and some people do well on harder surfaces. Me? Not so much. It's one of those modern inventions I take full advantage of.
When I was a child, I used to roll of my bed every night, and could be found in the morning lying on the floor, rolled under my bed. Gave my parent's quite a scare many a times. When I got older, we stopped camping out, sleeping on comforters on the ground, and I stopped rolling off my bed. I also stopped getting restful sleep, and started becoming an insomniac. I never made the connection, but I've always slept better with my mattress on the floor. HHHmmm… going to have to do some experimentation now….
I made the paleo pad thai this week and it is YUMMY! The sunshine sauce is delish.
Intrigued by the mattress article as well. Don't think I'll talk the husband into ditching the mattress anytime soon, though.
#1. Mark! Thanks for the shout-out to my pad thai recipe. It's pretty tasty — hope y'all like it!
#2. I love to lie on the floor, and we have a very firm mattress… so firm, in fact, that our housesitters ALWAYS complain about how hard it is to sleep here. I LOVE it.
Just checked out your blog, Melissa. Good stuff. Ordered one of the books you recommended as well.
About ten years ago I was in the market for a new mattress/box spring. (The old one was falling apart after 35+ years.) I didn't want the new chemicals and wanted something firm. Went to Soaring Heart in Seattle and a bought an extra-firm 6 inch latex foam mattress and a 4 inch wool topper (both covered in untreated unbleached muslin. They are supported by wood slats (1×4) in my existing bed frame.
Have slept on the floor a few times when my back bothered me, but that makes my joints hurt.
Interesting article on sleep/mattress.
I've been on the hunt for a new mattress for a couple of months….now I'm even more confused; do I even bother?? My SO wants to just put boards under our current mattress. At this point I may just go for that. I really don't think the floor will do it for me.
I also would love more articles on mattresses/futons! 😀
Mark: Your interview with Dr. Mercola was great! I especially liked the parts about what an ideal body composition is; and the part about telomeres. And the bit at the end about starting at an old age. I sent the link to my father, if only he would invest as much money in PB as he does in telomeres! Maybe that day will come.
I think there are more factors to sleep than just the mattress. I used to sleep on a two-inch-thick piece of foam on the floor, rather than a traditional mattress. I loved it and my back loved it, but it didn't help me sleep better at all.
You can pry my memory foam mattress out of my cold dead hands. 😉
I just bought a Tempurpedic this year and we like it pretty well. It has helped with my shoulder issues (I sleep on my side.) Ours is a firm one (not one of the very plushy new ones they have now.)
Though I've also napped on the floor a few times and noticed it didn't bother my shoulder either 🙂
Futon on slats from a local place. I have multiple items from Carolina Morning, and love them all.
wow I just started sleeping on the ground two nights ago..
How come the recommended sitting angle is 135 degrees? Havent' we established that it is 90? At 90, we are able to have a fully extended lumbar
Thanks so much for sharing the article on mattresses. I took a nap this afternoon on my yoga mat. Quite frankly, I'm almost ashamed I never thought of this in the over two years of my yoga practice. It definitely helps the breathing, it felt like the ground was encouraging me to breathe deeply from the belly and it felt so excellent. I can't wait to try it again tonight.
Wish I'd read that article on sleep ergonomics yesterday. We bought a mattress yesterday, i wanted extra firm and DH wanted extra plush, so we settled for firm with a pillow top or some such.
Great stuff! all know to be close the love relationship and try hard to be there.love and the life similar as it is.!
"How come the recommended sitting angle is 135 degrees?" I'm wondering this too! I would love an article about sleeping on hard surfaces
Love bacon. But that Starry Night thing? That's no improvement.
The wife is out of town, so I tried the sleeping on the floor thing. Piled 3 comforters on the floor. What do you know, I slept great and do feel better in the morning. Can't wait to try that again tonight.
I sleep on my face, literally.
Every morning I wake up with my face in the pillow and as I'm getting older it's really starting to hurt my head!
I try and force myself to fall asleep on my back (doesn't always work because both of my shoulders start to cramp) but when I wake up I'm back on my face…frustrating!
would love more info about ditching the mattress. I'm a side sleeper and the last 2 years have felt my hips sink deeper and deeper…. hubby and I are going to try the ground soon.
Umm did my comment get removed? I would like an explanation.
I just got an new wool mattress from Mercola.com and have been very happy with it. My allergies are better and it seems to have helped my wife with her arthritic hip. Our mattress arrived within a week of ordering it and I very happy with it. I also recommend the all natural wool pillows and comforters from mercola.com

Dix and GHS senior being honored at King prayer breakfast
Published: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 5:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 5:25 p.m.
A Gainesville High School senior who has overcome many obstacles on his way to graduating from high school will receive the inaugural Drum Major for Justice Scholarship Award at the 6th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast to commemorate the civil rights leader's assassination.
If you go
What: The 6th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast to commemorate the 45th anniversary of his assassination.
When: 8 a.m. April 4.
Where: Best Western Gateway Grand Hotel, 4200 NW 97th Blvd.
Tickets: $30 each or $300 for a table for 10; deadline to buy tickets is Tuesday.
Information: Call 376-2442.
The breakfast will be held at 8 a.m. Thursday at the Best Western Gateway Grand Hotel at 4200 NW 97th Blvd. Tickets are $30 each and $300 for a table for 10. The deadline to purchase tickets is Tuesday.
The breakfast is sponsored by the African American Accountability Alliance of Alachua County, the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission of Florida and the Alachua County branch of the NAACP. The breakfast this year commemorates the 45th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. King, who was shot on April 4, 1968, on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis.
This year, the Drum Major for Justice Award will be awarded to George B. Dix, senior pastor at Passage Family Church in Gainesville. The scholarship award will go to Freddy Holmes Jr.
Instead of a speaker this year, there will be a viewing of "The Witness: From the Balcony of Room 306," a documentary by the Rev. Samuel "Billy" Kyles that focuses on the last hours of King's life. Kyles, who has served as pastor of Monumental Baptist Church in Memphis since 1959, was on the balcony near King when he was shot.
Rodney Long, president and founder of the King Commission, said the sponsors of the breakfast will award the scholarship for the first time, after fine-tuning the criteria.
"This is something we have been discussing for several years," said Long, adding that the criteria for the scholarship includes excelling in school while overcoming obstacles in life.
Diyonne McGraw, vice president of the 4As, said Holmes, who will receive a scholarship worth a minimum of $500, changed his attitude toward school and his life after almost being expelled.
"Freddy got into some serious trouble, and then a light came on for him and he turned his life around," McGraw said. "He became serious about school and has been maintaining a 3.0 or above GPA ever since. He kept going and didn't give up, even though he was in a bad situation."
Long said Dix will be honored for his dedication and commitment to ensuring that children in Gainesville, especially in east Gainesville, have an opportunity to get a quality education. The award is given each year to a man or woman of the clergy who embodies principles espoused by King.
"Pastor Dix was chosen for his philanthropic approach to education, especially for his dedication to helping those that are underprivileged get a good education," said Long, citing a $100,000 donation Dix and his church gave several years ago to the Alachua County School Board.
Long also said Dix and his congregation volunteer countless hours at elementary schools in east Gainesville, while also operating Passage Christian Academy, a private school at 5121 E. University Ave. that serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
"Pastor Dix is a man of God who believes that every child should have a chance to get a quality education, and he and his congregation show that they believe in that with their resources and time," Long said.

When CR and Business Objectives Conflict (contd)
I am on my way home from an excellent conference run by The Ethical Corporation in New York. As I described in my post yesterday, we had a great discussion on the topic of when CR and business objectives conflict. We split up into table groups to share some of our more challenging experiences and examples in a safe space. While in the spirit of the safe space we created I am not going to share any examples that are not already public knowledge, I identified some common categories of action from the examples discussed:
1) Grasp the nettle/bite the bullet; The company takes a bold leap and tackles the issue head on, gambling that the aggressive approach will pay off in the long term. Disney's recent commitment to refuse taking advertising for foods that don't meet defined nutritional standards and Patagonia's 'Don't Buy This Jacket' advert from their common threads campaign are great examples
2) Level the Playing Field; In situations in which it is the best interests of all players to act, but could be a short term competitive disadvantage for one to act alone (due to possible increased costs) a solution is to create an even playing field by acting together. We see this with the soft drinks companies working together to remove sodas from schools through the American Beverage Association and companies in the UK working together through the Confederation of British Industry Climate Change Task Force supporting government regulation of carbon emissions (chaired by BT's then CEO Ben Verwaayan!).
3) Don't let perfection be the enemy of good; We heard an example of an auto manufacturer that was not willing to stop production of its largest vehicles, but instead focused its fuel efficiency attention on that class of vehicles. This offered better returns on carbon reduction than focusing energy efficiency efforts on smaller vehicles.
4) Educate the stakeholder; The company takes a leadership role in educating consumers. One participant referred to the strength of taboos in society. Through raising awareness of societal issues, good nutrition for example, companies can build new taboos that address sustainability needs and build demand for the healthier product they would like to make but that the market does not currently support.
5) Be transparent; Proceed with the activity, but be transparent about the profit and sustainability motives that have had to be balanced and the compromises made to reach the conclusion. This generates trust and understanding and indicates accountability.
And what about the responsibility of the practitioner in these situations where corporate responsibility conflicts with profit ? I heard a broad consensus that the practitioner has a much more sophisticated role than to spin the best story possible out of a bad situation. But also that we are not a police force there to root out and demand cessation of every activity that doesn't meet our standards. Our role is to continually increase transparency, understanding, awareness and accountability.
We heard many examples where the corporate responsibility practitioner had settled for less than their ideal solution, but achieved more than would have been achieved without their involvement. We need to live to fight another day and if standing our ground too aggressively or resigning on a point of principle loses our voice from the table completely, it is not the right thing to do.
Do you have other examples to share that will help others ? Or were you at the conference ? Please add your thoughts and other opinions below.
