I'm studying through the book of Colossians because I plan to teach through the book during the month of March (and the first Sunday in April). So far, I've written these posts in the series:
The beginning of the study
Preliminary outline
Salutation (author, recipients, greeting)
Prayer Part 1
Prayer Part 2
Jesus' preeminence over creation
Jesus' preeminence over the church
Paul's service for the gospel
Contrasting Christ with human wisdom Part 1
Contrasting Christ with human wisdom Part 2
Contrasting Christ with human wisdom Part 3
Contrasting Christ with human wisdom Part 4
Exhortation to put off an earthly way of life
Exhortation to put on Christ as a new way of life
Exhortations about family relationships
Exhortations about prayer and outsiders
The final section of Colossians (Colossians 4:7-18) can be divided into three parts: 1) Travel plans – or introduction (Colossians 4:7-9), 2) greetings (Colossians 4:10-17), and 3) final exhortations/closing (Colossians 4:18).
Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here. Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions- if he comes to you, welcome him), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. And say to Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord." I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. (Colossians 4:7-18)
Instead of relaying his own travel plans (which he does in many letters), Paul instead introduces those who are bringing his letter to the Colossians: Tychicus and Onesimus (Colossians 4:7-9). Paul expected Tychicus to deliver the letter and to tell the Colossians about Paul's work. He describes Tychicus as a beloved brother, a faithful servant, and a fellow slave (co-slave). Furthermore, Paul expects that Tychicus will be an encouragement to the Colossians, and, when he returns, he will be able to tell Paul how things are going with the believers in Colossae.
Furthermore, Paul sends along Onesimus. He says that Onesimus is a faithful and beloved brother. The phrase "one of you" indicates that Onesimus resided in the Colossae. We learn more about Onesimus' background – and the main reason that Paul sent him to Colossae – in Paul's letter to Philemon.
In the next section, Paul sends greetings from several of the believers who were traveling with him (Colossians 4:10-14). There are a few Jewish Christians still with him (Aristarchus, Mark, and Jesus/Justus) and a few Gentiles (Epaphras, Luke, and Demas). There may be others. Perhaps these are some of the people who traveled to Colossae to proclaim the good news while Paul was in Ephesus. While we don't personally know these individuals, we can learn alot about how these believers interacted with and related to one another by looking at Paul's descriptions of his fellow servants.
Paul then asks the Colossians to send along his greetings to the believers who are in Laodicea, and specifically to Nympha and the church that meets in her house (Colossians 4:15). Paul expected there to be interaction and close relations between the believers in these neighboring cities. Furthermore, Paul had sent a letter to Laodicea, and he expected these two groups of believers to read each other's letters (Colossians 4:16). (It is interesting that Paul expected the Colossians and Laodiceans to give the same attention to the letter he sent to believers sent to another city, even though 1) it was specifically sent to another group of believers, and 2) we do not currently have the letter to the Laodiceans.)
Paul sends specific greetings (and exhortations) to Archippus: "See to the service which you received in the Lord, in order that you fulfill it (the service)" (Colossians 4:17). (Paul also addresses the letter "to Philemon" to Archippus along with a few other people and the church that meets in Archippus' house.) Paul doesn't specify whether he is encouraging Archippus in a certain type of service, or a certain way of serving, or even a certain opportunity to serve. But, we can assume that Archippus understood (and the Colossians probably understood as well), and that we can use this as an example of encouraging others in service.
Finally, Paul closes the letter by writing a greeting himself, indicating that most of the letter was written by someone else – probably a secretary known as an amanuensis (Colossians 4:18). He asks them to remember (probably in prayer) that he is in prison, and he prays for God's grace to be with them. While it is a common greeting and closing in Paul's letter, a prayer for grace is especially fitting for this letter to the Colossians.
These final lines from Paul again show a care and concern for the Colossians, even though Paul had never met them. Among many other things, we can learn from Paul concern – a concern that led him to even write a letter, which was a long and expensive proposition at that time. Plus, he sent the letter along with two of his trusted co-servants. He would certainly miss them while they were gone. Paul obviously loved the Colossians very much.
What would you like to add this this study of Colossians 4:7-18?

Spring Vegetable Gardening Schedule for Temperate Climates
Get your veggies in at the right time for the best results.
Spring is almost here, and daylight savings time has already started. In any temperate climate, it's time to prepare the plot for spring vegetable planting — and next year, you can probably start even earlier. Here is a quick summary of how to prepare the garden, and when to plant your vegetables.
Test the Soil
Many veggies require eight to 10 hours of direct sunlight to reach their full potential. Choose a sunny spot, then test the soil. Your local Cooperative Extension office likely provides inexpensive but valuable soil tests. Click here for a national directory.
The soil test will reveal the additives you need to balance the pH (ideally to somewhere between 6 and 6.5) and composition of the soil, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Even perfectly balanced soil still needs plenty of organic boosters such as compost or manure, and some experts suggest adding both.
Hardiness Zone Maps vs. Climate Data
While gardeners can raise beds and add compost on any warm spring day, they may have to wait to plant most of their vegetables, even in fairly temperate climates. Planting times vary by vegetable and by location.
Many gardeners swear by the U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zone map to determine their planting schedule, but I find the Technicolor explosion a little overwhelming, and I live in northern Colorado, which is a particularly confusing patch of the map.
Instead, I go by the climate data to estimate the likely last plant-damaging frost. The Victory Seed Company offers this simple listing of average first and last frost dates for a handful of cities in each state. For more cities and a far more detailed (albeit more confusing) listing, this National Climatic Data Center listing uses historic weather data to generate three statistical probabilities for each of three temperature thresholds at a vast number of weather stations in each state.
Vegetables You Can Plant Before the Last Frost
Hardy vegetables such as kale, leaf lettuce, parsley, spinach and turnips can all be planted from seed four to six weeks before the last expected frost. On the same date, asparagus, broccoli, onion, rhubarb and other seedlings can be transplanted if they got a head start indoors. About two weeks later, cauliflower and Chinese cabbage can be transplanted, and beets, carrots, parsnips and radishes can be planted from seed.
Get these cool-season vegetables in the ground early, particularly in hot climates. Lettuce plants can be very productive in late spring and early summer, but they will go to seed and no longer produce tender leaves once it gets too hot.
Wait to Plant These Vegetables
Other vegetables are more tender, and can only be planted after the last frost, when the soil temperature tops 55 degrees Fahrenheit. These include tomatoes, snap beans, sweet corn, summer squash and zucchini. Finally, the least cold-tolerant plants can only go in the ground when the overnight temperature is consistently above 50 degrees F. These include eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, okra and pumpkin.
With proper site preparation and a good planting schedule, you should have a successful spring vegetable garden. Every region and microclimate has peculiarities, however, and your local Cooperative Extension office can provide invaluable information for vegetable planting in your area.

McConaughey Open to Returning for Season 2
Never say never. That seems like a rule that True Detective Rust Cohle might live by, right? Well Matthew McConaughey, the actor who masterfully brought that character to life on HBO's air this year may be having second thoughts.
We've reported several times that True Detective was, and always has been planned as an anthology series much like American Horror Story where new characters, settings and stories take over each year. So it stood to reason, and was also confirmed several times by show runners and the actors themselves, that McConaughey and Harrelson wouldn't return for True Detective season 2.
That having been said, Mr. McConaughey is singing a different tune these days:
"I liked True Detective, the whole series and the experience of making it, so much that I'd be open to doing another one now. At the time, I was looking at six months and not beyond that. I don't know of a feature film I'd sign for where I'm going to say, 'If this works, you've got me whenever you want me for the next three years'."
Makes a lot of sense to us! Movie stars have historically been hesitant to even appear on television series let alone commit to the years of filming that a premium drama like this one requires. But with the ratings success and upcoming awards True Detective is sure to win, Matthew and a lot of other stars are beginning to rethink that outlook on television acting.
After all: it's not TV when it's HBO.
Last we heard the story, setting and characters for True Detective season 2 were all going to be different with casting to begin this summer. But that doesnt mean Rust Cohle can't still be a part of it, right?! We'll let you know when we have more concrete news items such as a premiere date, cast or anything else as we know you're waiting on the edge of your seats for more True Detective.
Until then True Detective Season 1 is on Blu-Ray next week so be sure to grab that and check out the special features if you're looking for more or watch it on HBO Go whenever you want.

I need some info on placenta ASAP! Updated
Long story but I still in the hospital and my placenta has been in the fridge at home for almost 48 hours. I'm stuck here till tomorrow and I don't want to be stuck without my husbands help while he goes home to do it....would it be ok to do at 48-72 hours?
Uhg....I really need it encapsulated.
Thanks everyone! We decided to let it stay where it was till today and we'll just start encapsulating the second we get home... I gave birth at night so we should be home way before the 72 hour mark and if not I'll just send him home to start it.
A few people asked about how things are...it's been a crazy stressful week but I'll add my detailed birth story at some point. For now I'm just focused on getting us all home :)
You had your baby? And not at home? Did I miss a post? Hope all is well!
I hope you are okay! Congratulations on your baby!
Quoting MaryJarrett:
Are you 100% sure it can be done before 72ish hours? If not, I'd have someone pop it in the freezer. You can thaw it out and encapsulate anytime you're ready then with no rush (for up to 6 months).
If it cant be done by the end of 72 hours I woud freeze it..mine was frozen but worked fine
Save a chunk for a smoothie and throw the rest in the freezer...

His face was beautiful, and it was one I had saw before. It was one that I had saw so many times in my dreams. He had dark brown hair that was cut at the nape of his neck. His skin was dark, it looked as if he had been living in the sun. His eyes were a piercing green and the way he looked at me made me feel like he was looking through me. He had a tight black shirt on that showed off a very fit body, and putting it nicely, the man was nice to look at. When I looked up at his lips they were placed in a smirk and I knew he had noticed me checking him out.
"Who are you?" My voice was almost a whisper and his smirk changed into smile that sent my heart into a frenzy. My knees started to shake with nerves and chills began to run through my body, I wasn't too sure that I could hold myself up. What's wrong with me? I never get nervous, and I mean he's hott but not that hott. Ahh who am I kidding he looks like a god.
"I am Eric Mancent the Alpha of the pack but most importantly your mate." My mouth dropped. He was my mate? This beautiful man was my Mate? Well at least I got a hott Mate! But I wasn't ready for a mate, not matter how fun it is to look at him. Wait whats going on? He's my mate? I'm pretty sure i am so shocked, i'm going dumb. My heart was pounding so loudly I was sure he could hear it. Eric began walking towards me and he stopped when he was standing right affront of me. He was so close that I could feel his breath against my cheek, I felt tingles of chill bumps run through my skin.
"I'm very glad to finally meet you, I have been waiting for you for such a long time." His voice was so deep that I just wanted to drown in it. What was I thinking? I just met him and I was already thinking things that I shouldn't feel. But his voice just wanted to make me melt, it was just deep and so sexy.
"It's nice to meet you too. I didn't know I was coming here to meet my mate." I turned around to look at my mother when I had finished talking, giving her a stink eye. Eric grabbed my hand and pulled it to his mouth and gently kissed it. Just this simple touch made me want to take him to bed. I have never felt such a rush, and my heart was most certainly going to explode. I just wanted to grab him and run my fingers through his hair and .... was I really thinking about this just because he kissed my hand?
"Well all that really matters is that you're here and I'm here and we can now mate and be together." His voice was full of happiness. I looked up at him, my face probably looking like a full on question mark. Was he really serious? I just met him and he is talking about being together and mating? This was just happening to fast. I stumbled backwards and took my hand out of his.
"I don't mean to be rude but I don't know you so please just like back up. I'm not mating anyone anytime soon, even if your like oh so totally delicious, I'm not going to do anything with you, at least not right now." I looked over at mom and she gave me a look that could have killed. Hmm what did she think, I was going to jump into his waiting arms with a joyful smile?
"I completely understand you're nervous, and you were unaware of meeting your mate anytime soon. But here's thing we have to mate in at least a month." Eric looked at me with concern. I felt all the color drain from my face and I began to get very dizzy. October was almost over and I was not nearly ready. I mean I had just met this guy and he wants to mate? Maybe I won't like him? Maybe he's a ugly asshole underneath all that sexiness..
"Yes Eric is right you two have to mate very soon, there is no reason to wait." Came a voice from behind Eric. I looked at the women who had just spoke. Her hair was black and had little waves, her eyes were as green as Eric's.
"I'm sorry for being rude, my name is Anna, I'm Eric's mother." Her hand came out to shake mine while she spoke."This is my husband Vince." I turned to the man standing next to her. His hair was silver and it shined in the sunlight, his eyes were a deep brown almost black. His hand also reached out to shake mine. Mom looked thrilled and dad just stood there with a slim grin.
Other people began to come outside. All of them were werewolves. The pack was very large from what I had seen. A young girl and boy came up to me and shook my hand.
"Hi my name is Lucy and this is my brother Jared and I guess you already met my other brother Eric." She smiled when she spoke they both looked like Eric, though she looked to be younger probably around eight and the boy looked around fourteen.
Eric came back in view standing affront of me taking my hand firmly and leading me into the house. I just followed him, figuring what's the use in putting up a fight. I turned around to look at mom and she was still grinning while she was motioning for me to follow him. When we walked into the house there was people everywhere. All of them were standing and staring at us. I became very self conscious. Very aware of all the eyes following our every move. Eric led me upstairs, and stopped at one of the doors. He turns around to look into my eyes as he turns the knob.
"This is our bedroom." I looked around my mouth slowly dropping..

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Joe Jackson had 22 points and seven assists, Shaq Goodwin scored 12 of his 15 points in the second half and Memphis pulled away for a 78-64 victory over Loyola (MD) on Sunday night.
Jackson connected on 5 of 6 from the field, including both shots from long range, and was 10 of 12 from the free throw line as Memphis (9-3) won its third straight. Goodwin was also 5 of 6 from the field, while Geron Johnson added 10 points for the Tigers.
Dylon Cormier led the Greyhounds (9-5) with 25 points, connecting on 10 of 20 shots. Erik Etherly had 15 points and nine rebounds, while Robert Olson finished with 11 points. Etherly and Olson, however, were a combined 10 of 31, including Olson missing 6 of his seven shots from outside the arc.
Memphis broke the game open with 11 unanswered points in the second half.

Lost Valley, Glencoe Glen Coe Reviews
564 reviews
Short walk but only if you are fit Dec 06, 2010
I say only if you are fit because, although short, it is far more than a stroll, requires a good head for heights and the use of hands at times helps.
I don't know whether people in countries outside the UK know the history of the Glencoe massacre in 1692 - but if you don't, I sugest you Google 'Gencoe massacre'. The lost valley is one of the places where survivors of the massacre escaped. It had long been the place where the MacDonalds kept their rustled (stolen) cattle.
You will see what are called the 'Three Sisters jutting out towards you on the left of the road as you come down the glen. A path between the first two leeds up to the valley through woods and over paths with a severe drop and some minor walking difficulties. When there you have fairly steep cliffs to both sides. I have been up the ones to your left and from there to the summit of Bidean nam Bean, the highest of the Glencoe peaks. I DO NOT recommend that in winter unless you are well experienced but the walk to the valley itself is fine for those who don't fancy the tops.

in : Grow & eat
Peppers taste fantastic, they're good for you, easy to grow and look attractive, especially when laden with fruit...
The first really hard frost hit this morning. The garden was so white it almost looked as if it was covered with snow. It was gorgeous to look at but pretty miserable for some of the less hardy plants. But when I went into the greenhouse to grab some lunch (one of the benefits of working from home!) it was great to see the peppers still going strong.
Peppers taste fantastic, they're good for you, easy to grow and they look attractive, especially when laden with fruit. I've grown a selection this year, including a few stunning chillies and some of those lovely elongated, sweet peppers called 'Tasty Grill' (or 'Tasty Girl', as I've seen some specimens labelled). I've grown some of those thicker fleshed, sweet peppers, too. Fantastic with slices of home-grown garlic, 'Red Baron' onion and a dash of pesto, all grilled on a piece of ciabatta.
So here we are in early December, munching on one of the more exotic vegetable crops. I'm really pleased the peppers are still there, particularly as the greenhouse is unheated right now. I'll be there again shortly with a few drapes of fleece just in case more, harder frosts are on the way...

I have a friend who's a vegetarian and in September she came over for a meal and I made her a ratatouille lasagne with some of the veggies I grow including sweet peppers. However in November the peppers started to rot on the plant in the greenhouse, I was waiting for them to turn red which is the only way we like them. We don't have heating in the greenhouse, but it is bubble wrapped. I usually open the door/vents for a little while each day, but November was so wet, I presume damp was the problem?

For most of the UK, peppers will not grow any more unless you have a heated greenhouse. It is too cold, too damp and not enough light. I cut the last of my peppers in November and put them an a sunny windowsill where they ripen in a few weeks.

Dahlia Lover,
I'm sure it is not only damp, but poor air circulation...because as soon as the weather turns icy, what do we do but wrap up with bubble polythene and shut down vents and windows. Poor air circulation in damp conditions encourages Botrytis and also other rots and moulds. Try to open vents and windows etc at every opportunity!
The heat of hot peppers varies enormously, take a look in the seed catalogues and you'll see that many now offer a sort-of heat rating, this might help you to select one that'll suit your taste buds!

bbspy @bbspy 4月5日更多 Exclusive: Endemol has DENIED that Ireland is getting its own version of Celebrity Big Brother - details: http://www.bbspy.co.uk/cbb19/news/0405/exclusive-endemol-denies-report-tv3-coco-television-making-irish-version-of-celebrity-big-brother … #BBUK #CBB
Exclusive: Endemol denies Celebrity Big Brother Ireland reportsShow creator rubbishes rumour that TV3 is working on its own versionPOSTED ON APRIL 5 2017 AT 10:40PMEndemol Shine UK has denied selling the Celebrity Big Brother format in Ireland following claims that TV3 is working on its own version of the show.At the weekend, The Sun's Irish edition reported that production company Coco Television – for which BB1's Anna Nolan works as its Head of Development – had acquired the rights to remake CBB with stars from the Emerald Isle.TV3, which already airs Channel 5's UK version, was said to be interested in commissioning a local adaptation as a rival to RTE's Dancing With The Stars.However, Endemol Shine – the creators of the Big Brother format – have rubbished the claims.Speaking to bbspy, an Endemol rep said that The Sun's story is "not accurate".To make an Irish Big Brother, TV3 and/or Coco would need to agree a licensing deal with Endemol Shine, which distributes the format internationally.But it's thought that Channel 5 may already hold the production rights for Ireland, as Irish citizens are able to audition for its 'civilian' editions of the show.An Irish Big Brother is also considered unlikely due to high costs. In 2014 it was reported that Endemol charges C5 £20million per series.While it may not be getting its own version, TV3 will remain BBUK's Irish home for the next two years as part of a long-term deal.All BBUK programming now airs on the broadcaster's digital channel 3e after it revamped its channels in January.

The shortest parade, the worst, the longest, the coldest, the largest shamrock, and the snake race – all the information you need to make your St. Patrick's Day season fun.
The World's shortest St. Patrick's Day parade:
The shortest parade is always held on March 17th on historic Bridge Street in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas. Bridge Street became famous in the 1940s when "Ripley's Believe It or Not" designated it "The Shortest Street in the World." Having earned this distinction, the Hot Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau deemed Bridge Street the most logical location for this novel parade.
World's worst St. Patrick's parade
Chicago's South Side parade was canceled in 2009 but local bar owner Gerry O'Connell had his own parade – around his bar "Irish Eyes." O'Connell wanted to pay homage to the defunct Chicago tradition.
"The South Side [parade] was canceled," he said. "So what we're doing, is we're starting at the south side of the bar, and we're going to come around from the south side and parade the whole bar. And we're going to salute the South Side, because we'd like them to have their parade. The parade was reinstated in 2012.
World's coldest St. Patrick's celebration:
Bering Sea Ice St. Patrick's Golf Classic: Third Saturday of March in Nome Alaska. Six-hole course played on the frozen Bering Sea with bright orange golf balls. Par is 41. Cash prizes for best scores. $50 entry fee includes a t-shirt, hat, golf balls, tees (old shotgun shells), snakebite remedies (small bottles of vodka) and a certificate of completion.
World's smallest St. Patrick's celebration:
Can you say one? That's right, this is a party for one, and it has occurred every St. Patrick's Day since 1993 in the town of Enterprise, Alabama.
A different person of Irish descent each year holds the Irish flag high above his/her head, carries a pot o' gold and recites limericks as he/she walks past the local courthouse and around the Bol Weevil Monument. (Yes, Enterprise is the only American city with a monument of a pest. Don't ask!)
Grand Marshals in absentia are nominated and selected on the basis of their written acceptance speech, plus their reasons for not being able to attend the parade. In other words, anyone can be a Grand Marshal.
World's largest St. Patrick's Day parade:
The New York parade has become the largest Saint Patrick's Day parade in the world. In a typical year, 150,000 marchers participate in it, including bands, firefighters, military and police groups, county associations, emigrant societies, and social and cultural clubs, and two million spectators line the streets
World's oldest St. Patrick's Day parade:
The New York celebration is the oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day Parade in the world. The parade dates back to 1762,
World's longest celebration of St. Patrick's Day
Montserrat in the Caribbean
In the 17th Century, Irish Catholic indentured servants were welcomed to the tiny volcanic island of Montserrat at a time when they were shunned in most other English-controlled islands of the Caribbean. The Irish mixed freely with the African slaves brought to work the English sugar plantations, and a unique Afro-Irish culture developed.
Some say St. Patrick's Day is a bigger deal in the U.S. than it is in Ireland, but Montserrat may top them both. The St. Patrick's festivities here go on for a solid week. In fact, Montserrat is the only nation in the world other than Ireland that considers St. Patrick's Day a national holiday.
St. Patrick's Week in Montserrat includes parades featuring costumed revelers wearing green shamrocks, concerts with calypso, soca, and iron band music, church services and dinners, and a special March 17 commemoration of an attempted slave revolt in 1768. You'll find Guinness on tap in the bars, hints of Irish cookery in the national dish (a stew called 'goat water'), and lots of Irish surnames among the people.
World's newest St. Patrick's Day celebration:
Hong Kong was the latest addition to the global St. Patrick's Day celebration. On Sunday, March 15, they organized an event in Tamar Park to celebrate the links between Hong Kong and Ireland and to bring together locals, Irish and other ex-patriates.
World's weirdest St. Patrick's Day event:
Until recently, San Francisco featured a snake race involving real snakes racing each other in their celebration. A recent winner was named "Window Viper", "I'm boa-ed" was second.
World's largest shamrock
In Nebraska, the world's largest shamrock is painted on the road in the town of O'Neill, which is the Irish capital of Nebraska. Every year, they install a huge blarney stone at the corner of the Shamrock and have many festivities, including a public reading of the book, "Green Eggs and Ham."

We are learning that Donald Trump is planning a visit to the U.K. so he can open the new US Embassy and Britain First folks – the neo-Fascist group that saw headlines after Trump saw fit to retweet some of their propaganda – are coming out to show their support for them. Well, they are going to have company. A few folks who don't like Trump – and damn sure don't like Britain First will be there too, and they are going to be particularly loud about that opposition. We are sure Britain First will be none too pleased, but they won't be voicing their displeasure in a tweet since Twitter canned their account.
UPDATE: After hearing that there was going to be massive opposition to his visit, Trump decided to cancel the trip. But he couldn't say it was because Londoners didn't want him there in the first place. Instead, he tweeted this:
Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for "peanuts," only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018
And by the way, it was actually George W. Bush that signed off on it.

Roth IRA
Note: (Updated on 8th January, 2013)I have tried to make this the most comprehensive single article on Roth IRA. After reading this article you will know what is a Roth IRA? Is Roth IRA right for you? Where to open an account? How much you can contribute and how does it compare with other retirement saving plans. If you have any questions, please leave in the comments. Our team of active reader will help you out.
Roth IRA Basics
Roth IRA is type of retirement plan (IRA – Individual Retirement Arrangement) which an individual can use to save for retirement. Roth IRA differs in many ways from other retirement plan like Traditional IRA and 401K.
Roth vs. Traditional IRA
Unlike Traditional IRA, you do not get tax deduction on contributions you make to a Roth IRA account. However, all (qualified) withdrawals are tax free. This includes any earnings you have on your contributions to the account.
Roth IRA Rules
Distributions from Roth IRA
You can start taking distribution from your Roth IRA account at the age of 59 1/2. Your account must be open and the first contribution must have been five years ago. There are also qualifying distribution that can be made before the age of 59 ½ as long as the plan has been open for at least five years.
- Distribution for qualified first time home purchase or to build a first home.
- Distributions if you become disabled (as per the IRS code).
- Distributions made to your beneficiary or to your estate, after you die.
Eligibility Criteria for contributing to Roth IRA
There are no age restrictions to invest in a Roth IRA account, however there income and contribution limits which apply.
Roth IRA contribution limits
Since Roth IRA offers you an opportunity to save for retirement and without paying taxes on your earnings, there is a limit to how much one can contribute to it. Also there is a maximum income limit for one to be eligible for Roth IRA. Each year Roth IRA contribution limits are reviewed for inflation
Roth IRA contribution limits 2013
For 2013, you can contribute a maximum of $5,500 (up to $6,500 if you are age 50 or older). The contribution limits have been raised by $500 from 2012. 2013 Roth IRA contribution limits also state that the contribution cannot be higher than your earned income in the year.
Roth IRA contribution limits 2012
The Roth IRA contribution limits were unchanged between 2008 and 2012. For 2012, you can contribute a maximum of $5,000 (up to $6,000 if you are age 50 or older). 2012 Roth IRA contribution limits also state that the contribution cannot be higher than your earned income in the year.
Roth IRA contribution limits 2011
The Roth IRA contribution limits were unchanged between 2008 and 2012. For 2011, you can contribute a maximum of $5,000 (up to $6,000 if you are age 50 or older). 2012 Roth IRA contribution limits also state that the contribution cannot be higher than your earned income in the year. Income limit for Roth IRA
In order to contribute to a Roth IRA account, your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) must be below a certain level. The income limits and the contribution limits are reviewed every year for inflation.
For more details see our article on Roth IRA Income and contribution limits.
Opening a Roth IRA
Opening your Roth IRA account is easy. Nearly all traditional brokers and online discount brokers offer a Roth IRA account. But not all accounts are made equal, some have minimum balance requirements and some charge a fee to maintain your account.
Vanguard, Fidelity and T.Rowe Price are good place to start looking for a no fee or a low fee account to get started.
Roth IRA Contribution deadline
The contribution deadline for Roth IRA coincides with the tax filing deadline. That is great because you can make contribution for the previous year in the current year. 2012 Roth IRA contribution deadline is April 15, 2013. The 2013 Roth IRA contribution deadline will be April 15, 2014.
You can contribute to both a Traditional and a Roth IRS in any given year, but the contributions limits apply to both as an aggregate. This is also true if you have multiple Roth IRA accounts.
Please refer to the Wikipedia entry to learn more about the history of Roth IRA.

Just as the beaches of Cannes vary depending on how far you venture from the Croisette, so too do the conversations. For the last few years one of the main topics of discussion is the ever greater presence of adtech companies at a creativity festival. As a technology gate-crasher myself, and armed with the industry-recognised white sunglasses and Panama, it was genuinely apparent that the line in the sand between all things tech and all things creative was slowly surrendering to the warm tides of Mediterranean.
Adtech companies were taking over everywhere outside the Palais. Whether it be the armada of boats at the old port, or giant ads on the front of the Carlton, nowhere it seems was safe…and it sounds like this trend is going to keep happening as I heard multiple folk promise that they'd have a boat next year; some even two boats so they can keep their valuable berth!

Cannes Lions is the honeypot of creativity in advertising. From virtual reality to smartwatches, advertisers aren't afraid to push boundaries when looking for new ways to engage consumers and nowhere is this more apparent than at the annual event.
One of the most interesting show-stoppers this year was Google's inexpensive virtual-reality reader, Cardboard, which won the mobile category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, reminding the advertising industry about the power of images, experiences and storytelling.

I.P. RICKABAUGH, Ohio>Missouri>Iowa>Kansas
I have recently taken over some research from my mother on the HEALD family and am further looking into a RICKABAUGH connection. I.P. RICKABAUGH was born in Ohio abt 1854.He is in Kansas around 1875 where one of his children is born.In the 1880 census he is found in Oak, Smith Co., Kansas with wife Eliza b 1854 in Iowa, Jessie (cousin)b. 1856 in Iowa, Annie (daug)b. 1875 Kansas, and John b. 1879 Ohio.I haven't located him in the 1885 Kansas census.
He next appears in 1895 in White Rock, Smith Co., Kansas.With wife now M.E. b 1870 Illinois (She is somehow connected to the HEALD family).Children are L.A. (female)b 1877 Kansas, R.D. (male) b 1883 Kansas, Flowrence (female) b. 1888 (I think this is actually Lawrence, a male child, in error), Lucie b 1891 Kansas, and Charley b. 1893 Kansas.
In 1900, again in Oak, Smith, Kansas, now appears Mary RICKABAUGH as daughter in the household of Mary M. HEALD (due to statements in Mary HEALD'S husband's pension records, she must be adopted child of the HEALD'S not a natural child.)Mary RICKABAUGH'S children are Robbie b 1883 (listed as a step-granchild), Lawrence, b. 1886, Lucey b. 1890, and Charley b. 1892.

When Johan Santana was traded here I was extremely happy, he was supposed to be the best pitcher in the majors. Santana was going to get the Mets a World Series title, the first World Series title since 1986. Santana did not come cheap, it cost the Mets prospects that didn't amount to much but financially the Mets gave him $137.5 million for 6 years.
Santana had a great 2008 for the Mets but thanks to the bullpen his amount of victories was limited. There were some great pitching performances such as his complete game against the Cardinals after a 14 inning game the night before. Then there was the game on the 23rd of September when he pitched a career high 125 pitches against the Chicago Cubs, a win the Mets needed to keep their playoff hopes alive. The big game of Johan's Met career came on the 27th of September. The Mets absolutely needed this game, the bullpen was a mess, and Johan pitched a complete game, three-hit shutout against the Marlins, keeping the playoff hopes alive for the Mets. It would later be revealed that Santana was playing hurt and needed knee surgery once the season ended.
Coming off of knee surgery there were big expectations for Johan Santana. The first several months in 2009 were good months for Santana; he was probably the best pitcher in the National League at that point. Unfortunately 2009 was the year of the injury for most of the Mets. Santana like many Mets had to have surgery. The surgery was to remove bone chips in his pitching elbow, thus ending his 2009 season. This is the 2nd time in his career that he had to have this kind of surgery on his pitching elbow and it was the 2nd surgery he endured in 2 years.
Santana was a question mark coming into this year. Everyone wondered how his elbow would hold up; would he still be the same pitcher he was a few years ago? So far I have to say the answer is NO! Johan's velocity is down, he's lucky to go above 90 right now. His change up is ineffective to say the least right now. He is throwing more pitches per inning this season and is lucky to go 6 innings per start.
This is not just a reaction to Sunday's horrible performance. This season Johan has been having trouble getting out of innings, his pitch count climbing to 40 pitches or more in the early innings. Everyone talks about the 20 inning marathon against the Cardinals, how strong he was and how dominant he was. Let's not forget his pitch count was up there in the 2nd inning. I know he was able to correct himself but that is still troubling.
Look at the game against the Washington Nationals last month at the pitchers park Citi Field. He allowed 5 runs in 5 innings including a grand slam from Josh Willingham. He has so far allowed 2 grand slams this year and it's only May. His control and location have been horrible this season, he walked Jamie Moyer on Sunday to drive in a run before giving up a monster shot.
I have to wonder is Johan the same Johan Santana we traded for? Is he the ace we all need him to be? Look at other aces in the majors such as C.C. Sabathia for the Yankees, Roy Halladay for the Phillies and Tim Lincecum for the Giants. These guys are aces for their teams. You know that when they start its lights out. They are going to most likely win the game, if not keep their teams in the game. I cannot say the same for Santana anymore. I don't have the confidence I used to knowing that Johan would be starting the game. Those pitchers I mention go at least 7 innings per game. A lot of the time they go the distance, giving their bullpen's a little rest and they do not give up 10 or more runs when they have their "bad days."
Perhaps the two surgeries on his elbow and the knee surgery have taken their toll on Santana. Santana is getting older just like the rest of us. He's a great pitcher but he's not a machine. I know this is not popular but maybe Santana can no longer be the pitcher he used to be. Santana might not be our ace and we have to prepare for that. I hope I'm wrong and Santana will become the Santana of old and help guide this team to a championship. Only time will tell.

Every year when I plant a garden I have grand hopes and dreams for all the sweet and juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, earthy eggplant I envision will come from my labors. I see myself traipsing down to the perfectly tended raised beds with a sun hat on, lovely basket in hand, gathering my urban farm fresh produce and making delicious, healthy meals a la Martha Stewart.
Don't you?
(cue the movie scratch-screech sound)
Reality is often somewhat different, isn't it?
This year when preparing the beds for planting I forgot the sun hat and got sunburned. Two of my big gardening tools broke apart in my hands as I was working, the hoe and the pitchfork, making the mixing of soils extremely back-breaking work. Often those lovely tomatoes I anticipate shrivel, blacken and die on the vine before harvest due to blossom end rot. Bugs and raccoons destroy plants before they even set. It never quite goes as planned, does it?
But still, we gardeners persevere, don't we? (Can I get a "amen sister"?)
Why do we do this? Because when it works, it's glorious. There is nothing in this world like a just picked, truly vine ripe, tomato.
Unlike last year, this year I decided to use all of my available garden space. This is what I planted; six tomato plants of varying size, age and type, one eggplant, regular and lemon cucumbers, lots of basil and other herbs, yellow and green zucchini, butternut squash, and seeds for broccolini and puntarelle (an Italian bitter green). The plants are mostly organic and cost about $75 total. That sounds like a lot, even to me (and I chose them!), but I'm hoping they yield a lot more than $75 would buy at the farmer's market. If you're curious, a few years back I tracked my results and a similar garden yielded 177 lbs of produce.
Garden 2014, early April planting.
What are you planting this year? What are you looking forward to the most?

About 4,200 customers in Trumbull County were out of power for about a half hour on Monday.
Ohio Edison spokeswoman Robin Patton said about 3,200 customers in Warren and 1,000 in Howland were out because a customer-owned substation shorted out power to the other homes in the area.
Patton said the outage lasted about 30 minutes.
The outage affected traffic lights in downtown Warren.

Several weeks ago, I was one of six panelists at a collegial meeting with some very serious small-business owners in Dallas to share my views and to answer and discuss questions about the economy. I always enjoy having an opportunity to show off among a coterie of ivory tower academics, none of whom ever has been down on his knees in the dirt or gotten soot on his hands or sweat on his brow. I teased these starchy academics a bit more than they were accustomed to, but all five of these fellows were good guys, and one of them sent the following to me. It's worth sharing; however, the author is unknown.
Five evenings a week, 10 friends drink beers together at their neighborhood bar. The beer bill always comes to $100, and they have decided to pay their fair share, just as they pay their taxes. The first four (the poorest) pay nothing. The fifth pays $1. The sixth pays $3. The seventh pays $7. The eighth pays $12. The ninth pays $18. And the 10th (the richest) pays $59.
The friends continue to drink their beer every night and are pleased with the arrangement until the barkeep says, "Because you're all good customers, I'm going to reduce your beer costs by $20, so drinks for the 10 of you will cost you guys only $80."
Now the friends still want to pay their bill the way they pay their taxes, so the first four friends are unaffected; they still drink for free. But how could they divide the $20 windfall so everyone would get his fair share? They realize that $20 divided by the six friends is $3.33, but if this were subtracted from everyone's share, the fifth and sixth friend would end up being paid to drink their beers. So the barkeep suggests it would be fair to reduce each friend's bill by a higher percentage according to their wealth (or rather lack thereof) and follow the principle of the tax system we currently use. He proceeds to work out the amount that each should pay.
The fifth friend, like the first four, now pays nothing – a 100 percent savings. The sixth now pays $2 instead of $3 – a 33 percent savings. The seventh pays $5 instead of $7 – a 28 percent savings. The eighth pays $9 rather than $12 – a 25 percent savings. The ninth pays $15 instead of $18 – a 22 percent savings. And the 10th pays $49 instead of $59 – a 16 percent savings.
Each of the six is better off than before, and now five friends are able to drink for free. But once outside the bar, the friends begin to compare their savings. The sixth man is annoyed that he got only $1 out of the $20 savings and that the 10th man got $10. The seventh man exclaims, "That's right! Why should he have gotten back $10 when I got back only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!" However, the first four shout in unison, "We didn't get a thing at all! The system exploits the poor!"
So the nine friends surround the 10th friend and beat him up. The following night, the 10th friend fails to show up for drinks, so the nine friends sit at the table and have their beers without him. But when it comes time to pay the bill, they discover that they have enough money among them to pay only half of the barkeep's tab.
And that is how our tax system works. The folks who pay the most in taxes appear to get the most benefit from a tax deduction, but their taxes are reduced by a smaller percentage. Tax them too much or attack them for being wealthy and they may not show up for beer. Or they may leave states with high taxes – such as California, New York and New Jersey – for states with lower taxes – such as Florida, Nevada and Texas. And in the case of corporations, their tax lawyers may recommend that they move some of their business overseas. And that's just how our cookie began to crumble.

I am so lucky — I got to talk about celiac disease and food allergies on TV! It makes me happy that over the past 9 years I have been able to share my story in so many ways — through my blog, in newspaper and magazine, in person, in groups and now on television. Cheryl Jennings of ABC 7 in San Francisco was as nice as can be, as was everyone I met at the studio. I also enjoyed meeting and listening to the others interviewed for this segment. I have already received some emails from those who saw it, so I know it has reached some people out there! 🙂
I hope you will watch the whole show, but if you are short on time, my interview starts at 18:18 (I'm the last 4 minutes of the show).

The 'Van Helsing' Reboot Tracks Down 'Wrath of the Titans' Writer
Posted on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2017 by Jacob Hall
I've become something of a broken record when it comes to Universal's upcoming "shared monsters universe," where the likes of Frankenstein and Dracula and the Wolf Man will brush shoulders across a series of movies. I love the original Universal monster movies too much to not spend at least 30 seconds of every day worrying about what these movies will look and feel like. It's in my obsessive nature. I store those original movies right next to my soul! Remove them from existence and my spirit withers into dust!
The latest piece of news to emerge from monster-land involves the new Van Helsing movie, which I continue to hope will be a little more Peter Cushing and a little less Hugh Jackman. Specifically, the project has landed a new writer.

Retrospect Hard: Celebrating the original Die Hard
As far as Christmas parties go, Nakatomi Plaza '88 promised to be a raucous night of boozing, cocaine and interoffice sexcapades. That is (record scratch), until Hans Gruber and his merry band of evildoers storm the building and hold it hostage for a king's sum. But they missed one important fact: Nakatomi exec Holly Gennaro's married to one tough NY cop, and he picked the right night for a visit.
John McTiernan's Die Hard earned its clichés the hard way, if you could even call them clichés back in 1988. It seems trivial even pointing this out, but a tight script, brilliant direction and star-cementing lead performance are practically overlooked in retrospect on account of just how rigorously ingrained the film's become to popular consciousness. We all know this film they call Die Hard, and we know it to be good. But it's not just good. It's really fucking good.
Die Hard cemented Bruce Willis as an action star on the level of Stallone and Schwarzenegger; the three men shilling side-by-side for Planet Hollywood in the early 90s further established Willis on the same pedestal as the other two. Rambo is even alluded to in Die Hard when big bad Hans Gruber (introducing Alan Rickman, think about that for a moment) compares McClane to the 80s action hero. But Stallone and Schwarzenegger should probably look at Willis' turn as McClane with some sentiment of despair, because John subverted the battle-tested action hero template of the time, establishing a tone and archetype still reverberating if not outright commonplace today.
McClane works like a rejection of muscled-out killing machines like John Rambo, John Matrix or even The Terminator (literally a muscled-out killing machine). John McClane shoots foreigners with machine guns and spouts one-liners, but that's about where the similarities end. Actually, Die Hard arrived at a time when Hollywood was ready move away from the Cold War as fertile action ground. (It's no coincidence that Lethal Weapon had arrived not long before, and indeed the villains in this film have already rejected the Cold War cause). In truth, McClane has more in common with the cowboys of old — grizzled gunslingers like John Wayne or Gary Cooper to name a few — dudes who weren't one men armies. These dudes of action played fallible characters with weaknesses and elements decidedly more human. Willis's wiry frame and bruised, battered physique suggest stakes in and of themselves. When this guy gets hit with a bullet it's going to hurt.
A character like McClane shifts the lens, if only slightly. Audiences are no longer just watching characters dolling out bloody justice, they're empathizing and identifying with the character dispensing said punishment. Characters liked Rambo (starting with First Blood II) represented a fantasy not present in McClane. We project ourselves (men at least) onto Rambo because the majority of us will never be that muscular or wield a Gatling gun. McClane represents something more tangible; a hero with a bad back and broken marriage, someone you could see yourself grabbing a beer with: a paradigm shift towards a sleeker, more sensitive protagonist.
These are just broad strokes, and the truth is that McClane the character doesn't mean shit unless Die Hard the movie isn't equally meaningful. McTiernan had just come from working with Schwarzenegger on Predator in '87; Die Hard has nothing in common thematically even as it reinforces the filmmaker as a leader in the genre. In tandem with a script that passed through the hands of screenwriting titans Steven de Souza and Jeb Stuart, you have a movie that rocks some serious shit.
There's a reason many a screenwriting professor look to Die Hard as a shining example of the craft. Consider the opening scene with McClane in flight: that lingering shot on John's wedding ring, the "balling toes" exposition, the gun hanging underneath his sweater and even the big red bow on the bear. In a brief two-minute sequence we learn John McClane's married, he's traveling, he's a cop distrustful of new surroundings and, most importantly, it's Christmas. The bear's a brilliant touch as Los Angeles is a difficult setting to convey the season.
The following scene with Argyle, McClane's limo driver, brings us up to speed the rest of the way, so much so that it feels as if we're coming into a story and history that's been rolling since before credits. Die Hard is choc full of great character beats, but McClane sitting in the front seat of the limo is among my favorites. It's so tonally consistent to what little we've learned and further establishes our hero as displaced. McTiernan's early external shots work to the same affect, shooting in the very alien-looking "magic hour" between the end of day and beginning of night. It's the kind of brilliant setup that informs an entire film long after it's seeped into your subconscious.
Nakatomi Plaza becomes a character in and of itself, all future-deco supplanted by seven unfinished floors of gun battles. A building run entirely on computers, where characters are asked to use touchscreens? What demonry is this? It's as alien to McClane as it is to the viewer, embellishing on the film's fish-out-of-water identity.
McTiernan spoke years later about shifting the villains from terrorists (Die Hard is a loose adaptation to Roderick Thorp's novel Nothing Lasts Forever) to heisters. The Die Hard films are sort of known for the whole McClane-fighting-terrorists thing, yet it's a misnomer. The antagonists of the series are never peddling terror, though they admittedly use it as a tool. These are bad guys with dollar signs or revenge on their minds, their motivations only thinly political.
This is no truer than for Rickman's Hans Gruber, quite possibly one of the greatest onscreen villains in cinema. The actor had already established himself in theatre and on British television, though this was his first foray into American cinema. It's an inspired performance, over the top in all the right places yet purposefully reigned in when necessary. His educated-German accent is the sort of nuance that's either missing outright or overacted to the point of parody nowadays. He's the sort of bad guy who, clinging to a woman's arm as he's about to fall to his death, attempts to shoot that woman in the head. That's just evil, the best kind of evil.
Perhaps its fitting that influences aren't confined to the same subject matters of its predecessors. Run-and-gun action games like Contra seem like an apt comparison, but I also find it compelling McClane stalks a few bad guys not dissimilar to antagonists in 80s slasher fare. Consider the scene where McClane's confronted by Tony (blonde German, short-haired counterpoint to brother Karl). McClane spends most of the scene off-camera, setting off machinery to scare and disorient his prey only to appear at the last second and come in for the kill. And then in the next scene? Tony's mutilated body is found with a message scrawled in blood for Gruber — that's some sick shit.
No matter how you choose to approach Die Hard, the enduring franchise that followed owes much of its success to the virtuosity of its first entry. That the series would devolve McClane into an unstoppable killing machine ala Rambo is unfortunate. Still, the influence of McTiernan's effort is felt now more than ever, where vulnerable action heroes like Jason Bourne hold a commanding box office presence. Action, like any genre, is an ever-shifting prospect.
Die Hard is thought of as one of its genre's more influential cornerstones, testament to an action-specific progressiveness that's gone unmatched some 25 years after release.

This series is about the impact synergistic working relationships have on the outcomes of organizational change.
Before people can create and maintain synergistic relationships, two things must occur:
- They must be willing to engage this way with others
- They must demonstrate the abilities associated with a four-phase model: Interacting, Appreciative Understanding, Integrating, and Implementing[1]
The Willingness to Engage—A Prerequisite for Synergy
Dramatic change brings to the surface many divergent views about the direction of the transition and how it should unfold. Healthy nonconformity and oppositional thinking are essential aspects of the creative process when breakthrough problem solving and innovation is called for. However, contending with different perspectives, if not managed properly, can also be energy draining and counterproductive. It is clearly easier sometimes to avoid, ignore, or smooth over contrasting opinions (particularly when they are strongly held). Why is it then, that under the right conditions, people do just the opposite and willingly surface— even celebrate—their differences? The motivation to pursue, rather than circumvent, divergent opinions stems from people who share three views:
- The seriousness of the circumstances they face
- Their common goal(s)
- A sense of interdependence with each other
Synergistic relationships are not easy to develop and maintain. As a result, most people are willing to invest what's needed only if a significant positive upside can be gained and/or a negative downside avoided. If this is the case, a common goal can set direction. When individuals and/or groups share the same desired outcome, their energies and actions can become powerfully focused on the activities necessary to achieve that result. When a common goal is at the center of committed action, fewer resources are wasted on hidden agendas or activities inconsistent with realizing the goal.
As important as the sharing of common goals is, however, it is insufficient by itself to generate synergy. Interdependence is also needed to set the stage for meaningful unified action. People involved in synergistic working relationships recognize that their goals cannot be achieved without key contributions from all those playing critical roles. Those who are unwilling to acknowledge this, and act independently, represent a significant detriment to synergistic results.
A willingness to contribute to synergy is reflected in what can be called a "foxhole"[2] relationship—a situation where two or more people share a sense of urgency about the situation they are facing. They are invested in achieving a common goal and they must rely on each other to accomplish it. For dramatic transformative change to take place, a foxhole mindset must exist among sponsors, agents, and targets, as well as between the change practitioner and the sponsor he or she serves.
The willingness (motivation) to work with others sets the stage for the actions needed to achieve the synergistic advantage. Those involved in major endeavors must also demonstrate specific abilities related to how they develop their ideas and implement their action plans.
The Ability to Engage—The Four Phases of Synergy
The synergistic process is distinguished by four skill sets:
- Interacting: Synergistic communication occurs when diverse perspectives, ideas, meanings, attitudes, feelings, and values are expressed and received openly and honestly in a supportive environment.
- Appreciative Understanding: This is a nurturing atmosphere characterized by people who recognize and value their distinct frames of reference regarding the task at hand.
- Integrating: Only when appreciative understanding is established can individuals seek ways to merge or combine their separate views into mutually supportive patterns for thinking and acting. It is during this integration phase that individuals invent and experiment with creative ways to move beyond their current thinking.
- Implementing: Merely finding innovative approaches to integrate various viewpoints is not enough. It is only through active planning, goal setting, discipline, and consistent application of various change facilitating methods that a transition can be successfully achieved. Without a structured implementation plan, the likelihood is low that a synergistic advantage will occur.
Although I mentioned in the first post that many change practitioners lack a solid grasp of the conditions that promote synergy, the necessary components are actually all around us most of the time. It's just that, to the untrained eye, it's not always easy to see the exponential impact that results when they are combined properly. In this regard, I really have nothing new to offer about the components when seen separately. We are used to seeing each skill set in its own right, but it is when they are sequenced—as I'll outline here—that they build on each other and merge into a unique and powerful source of energy and creativity. This is when synergy unfolds.
I'll run the risk of detailing some familiar ground around the separate components as the series progresses, but this is necessary to open a new perspective on two key focal points:
- The order and composition of the building blocks of synergy
- Their intertwined relationship, which produces the 1 + 1 > 2 outcomes
The table below outlines what is necessary for key players to generate a synergistically implemented change. I will discuss each of the phases in more detail in the posts to follow.
Next: Build synergy by helping team members communicate.
Go to the beginning of the series.
[1]These four steps were first used by Henry Nelson Wieman in his book describing the creative process, Man's Ultimate Commitment, University Press of America, Inc., 1991.
[2] Military research during the Vietnam War era found reduced racial conflict among African-American and white soldiers when those soldiers had to rely upon one another in conflict situations, such as being in a foxhole facing the enemy. When their mutual defense necessitated cooperation, racial discord often vanished, as least as long as the urgency of the situation lasted. They shared a common goal (survival), and they knew that without genuine cooperation (interdependence) they would not achieve that goal.

What I find is this: If my eclipselink-orm.xml is returned dynamically via a custom MetadataSource implementation, no weaving takes place. I get a message like this, instead: Reverting the lazy setting on the OneToOne or ManyToOne attribute (createdBy) for the entity class (class model.UserGroup) since weaving was not enabled or did not occur. Yet if I take the exact same XML produced by my custom MetadataSource, and paste it into a real eclipselink-orm.xml file within META-INF, then the weaving does take place. I can provide a complete test harness to demonstrate but thought I would just ask, first. Can anyone confirm or deny whether dynamic weaving is compatible with custom MetadataSources or what it is I need to do to get dynamic weaving enabled when using a custom MetadataSource? Thanks in advance. ]]> Mike Gorman 2012-02-01T15:47:33-00:00
