After 18 seasons as the head coach at OU, Bob Stoops announced his surprise retirement last year. The speculation for the sudden retirement goes from health issues to wanting to spend more time with his sons that are seniors at Norman North HS.
The reality is that Stoops has never matched the success from his early years at OU. A more recent National Championship might afford him more leverage to see his sons star on their HS team without facing the wrath of rabid fans.
One quick view of his head coaching record and the numbers are impressive. Stoops won nearly 80% of his games with a career record of 190-48, but one glaring issue exists.
Stoops had his best year in 2000 when OU went 13-0 and won the national title over FSU. His second best season was in 2004 when his team went 12-1.
Ending with that year, OU went 60-7 over a five season period winning 90% of their games. The lowest AP ranking during that time period was #6 while the highest ranking since is #5. The 2004 season ended the era in the 55-19 route in the Orange Bowl with USC winning the national title over OU.
Maybe Stoops set the bar too high in the early years, but OU fans have generally been disappointed ever since that championship game following the 2004 season. The recent 2015 20-point loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff probably didn't help.
Regardless of the reason, the failure to reach the pinnacle again was a big part of the demise of Bob Stoops whether spending more time with the family or health concerns was the ultimate reason.

This year I have been into beauty products more than ever, Not only am I not buying makeup for the sake of it, I'm actually giving products a try and using them alot more. Giving that it is only march, there is a big favorites selection.
Face products
These foundations are amazing, I mix both of them to get the perfect shade. I had always wanted to try Estee Lauder double wear but never had the guts to buy it for some reason! I had heard nothing but amazing reviews so I popped into my closest Debenhams and made a cheeky purchase. When I bought this foundation I had a good few layers of false tan on so I wanted the foundation to match my skin for when I'm bronzed. The colour I was matched too is 3N1 Ivory Beige 10. Now on my actual skin tone, this colour looks silly but Mixed with a little Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, It gives me the perfect shade. Now I was shopping around and found this foundation in b&m! Priced at £4.99 what a bargain! It gives you the perfect finish with an amazing glow.
I have been using these concealers for around a year now, and I wouldn't know what to do without them! The collection Lasting perfection gives you the amazing coverage you need, I use it for everything as it basically gives me a new face! I don't use the MAC Pro Longwear concealer for my face, This colour was matched way to light for my skin tone, so now I use it to shape my brows as its amazing coverage and super light.
Here are my most used eye products, You may have noticed there is no mascara and that is because I can never find one I really like, The amount I try is pointless :(
For years I used Avon for my eyeliners and they used to give me the most vibrant colour and were very long lasting, when they got discontinued I worked my way around boots and swatched as many to find a dupe to my old liner. I came across this soap and glory KOHL liner and it has to be the best cream eyeliner I have ever used. Mine is in the colour black and I can always rely on this to last me all day & night.
I use MAC eyebrow pencil in stud, I love a dark defined brow and this is perfect for creating that sharp groomed look. I bought collection 2000 Gel liner at Christmas and have used it nearly everyday, I found this to be the cheapest and best quality for money. Last but not least my HD Brow Kit in 'Bombshell' When I received this in my glossy box last year I was not fussed at all, the colours are not to my taste and did not work with my brows, giving it more time, I began using them as eyeshadows as they are quite neutral, now I use it everyday to give me abit of definition to my eyes.
Random Products
Hope you liked my Favorite beauty products so far,
what are yours? :)
Thanks for reading

Libertarian asked to bow out of regent race
A Republican University of Colorado regent and a Republican seeking an open at-large seat on the board last week asked a third-party candidate to step aside to avoid spoiling the race for the GOP candidate.
Daniel Ong, Libertarian candidate for the at-large seat opening on the CU governing board, said CU Regent Steve Bosley and Republican candidate Brian Davidson suggested last week that his presence in the race could jeopardize the Republican's chances of winning the seat.
"They just came out and asked," Ong said. "It was straight-forward politics." Both Bosley and Davidson acknowledged the conversation, which occurred immediately after a briefing at the university for regent candidates last week, but they downplayed the tenor of the request.
"I'm in the race for good." - Dan Ong

The male reproductive pumps will give results after some repeated exercises. Make sure you do it regularly so that you can see its reliability. The bathmate pumps are preferred because they guarantee one a lot of safety. People using these pumps should ensure that they maintain hygiene so that they avoid sex health problems. Washing on the bathmate should be done by an individual. Make sure that you take a well-balanced diet so that you do not affect the male reproductive muscles. If you're using these pumps, make sure that you stay away from drugs and cigarettes, so that blow flow is at its best. Make sure that you add exercise to the use of the bathmates. They will help in getting your male organ elongated very easily. Read more claims about organ pump, go to

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPod touch Hacks' started by D4rkShaDoWz, Mar 6, 2008.
I just jailbreaked my ipod touch...what should i install first?
Get BSD Subsystem, you'll need it for some apps. Also, get Summerboard, which lets you customize your home screen, dock, and icons with themes.
how do i upgrade to 1.1.4?
also, what are some good sources to add?
for some reason there are no good apps in installer...how do u get more like customize, etc?
install community sources thats why theres barely anything in installer right now, you need to install that source to add more.
if you jailbroke 1.1.1 then go into installer install community sources, let the sources re-load, then find OKTOPREP and install it, download this file http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...071107.9g3DF/iPod1,1_1.1.2_3B48b_Restore.ipsw
go to itunes shift+click on UPDATE find the file above that you just downloaded and update, once thats done exit itunes and download http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/112jb.html
extract it and read the readme about the ipod touch ignore stuff about iphone, this will give you jailbroken 1.1.2
then to get 1.1.4, either add this source to installer and install the soft update via installer ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml
to add a source go to sources-edit-add and type that in
OR to jailbreak via your pc
download This Package
Put the 1.1.4 Jailbreak folder on your desktop, and open it up. Find the file inside called jailbreak, and double click it. At this point make sure your ipod is on, fully charged, or plugged in, that it meets the requirements above, has auto lock set to never, and connected to wifi. Now follow the instructions that will be shown on screen. at the end it should restart by itself and boot into a jailbroken with the iphone applications 1.1.4. Now the whole process may take anywhere from 20-45minutes depending on your internet connection, it takes so long because it has to download the firmware from apple. Now at some points it may look like it is frozen and not doing anything, but leave it alone it is working.
so let me confirm this
Download OKTOPREP
Download the 1.1.2 version
Shift Click Update and select the 1.1.2 file
Download the JB 1.1.2 rar and click on jailbreak
ok so now thanks to this guys response, it bricked my ipod...now what do i do? start from stratch?
my response? you may have done something wrong.. start from scrath yes.
my post contained the official jailbreak from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 the only current way to have all DRM protected aac files from itunes play on a 1.1.4 jailbroken touch with a capacity of either 16gb or 32gb
1. Download 1.1.1 firmware from apple here and shift +restore to it: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...70927.p23dD/iPod1,1_1.1.1_3A110a_Restore.ipsw
2. connect to wifi
3. visit jailbreakme.com
4. go to installer
5. install community resources
6. install Oktoprep
7. download 1.1.2 firmware from apple here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...071107.9g3DF/iPod1,1_1.1.2_3B48b_Restore.ipsw
8. open itunes
9. go to ipod in itunes
10. hold shift while clicking on UPDATE (NOT restore)
11. find 1.1.2 firmware on your computer that you just downloaded
12. wait
13. download official 1.1.2 jailbreak (this WILL work assuming you install Oktoprep via installer and UPDATED (again not restored) to 1.1.2) from here conceited software here: http://www.macminicolo.net/conceited/iphone/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip
14. extract the contents of the above file
15. if you are on windows run the .bat file and select jailbreak
16. wait
17. open installer
18. go to sources
19. select edit
20. select add
21. type in ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml
22. find 1.1.4 soft update
23. install 1.1.4 soft update
this should work, i just followed these exact steps and now have 1.1.4 on my i16gb ipod touch, if you have an 8 gb ipod touch i suggest you using the ziphone.org method

The Three Trumps
I'm currently writing a really long (and hopefully good!) blog post on why policy matters and why Donald Trump isn't a good solution for Sanders voters. Furthermore, I posit that policy really does matter. This election, there has been a lot of what a good friend of mine calls 'meme'ing about candidates, as the cost of policy. Mark Cuban (a Trump supporter, for God knows what reason), has nonetheless been rather on point in identifying and describing Trump's appeal. As early as July of 2015 Cuban said of Trump:
I don't care what his actual positions are. I don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what's on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years.
Yet my argument along these lines falls in line with Chris Cilliza's argument that Trump's honest bombaste is hollow. He's not being honest with policy, he's being 'honest' in that he accuses Obama of being a terrible negotiator, and Jeb of being low energy. He points to a huge wall as being a solution despite substantial evidence that such a wall would be ineffective, and furthermore could not be built. He speaks broadly of a tax system that favors the rich and how he would make some magical changes to fix it, but when he was forced to put out concrete policy, his policy massively reduces tax burden on the rich, and doesn't do much for the poor. It leaves a massive deficit, despite the fact Trump calls for an expansion of infrastructure spending, Social Security to be propped up, and an expanded military presence. Sure, he proposes that we force our neighbors to pay for our military backing. But it's a hell of a free rider problem. Predictably, when pushed on how he would force allies to pay, Trump comes up short.
Along these lines, I posit that one reason for Donald's support among the misinformed and uneducated is that they value his 'truthiness' more than they value actual policy discussion. However, this should go without saying, both populism and a misinformed public have been around for a long time. Why then, are people considering Trump over Clinton despite this rhetoric? Why are people who are relatively educated getting on the Trump train despite the fact that a lot of his policy has been substantively rebuked. I think it's because Trump does a great job keeping separate his relatively reasonable core positions from his memorable sound bites.
On paper, without specifics, a fair bit of Trump's key policies sound pretty moderate. He wants more legal immigration, but we have laws to uphold. This includes deporting illegals, but if you remove that specific, it sounds reasonable.
On Iran, he could have gotten a better deal.
The existing establishment just talks and doesn't get stuff done. Trump just talks as if stuff is getting done.
On taxes he speaks of making the tax structure worse for the rich and better for the working class and the poor.
In short, Trump makes himself broadly appealing to any low information voter, or a voter who wants to like him. And Trump is, in some respects, a likeable guy. Despite his massive unfavorability readings, lots of people really like the Trump persona. Furthermore, his campaign platform of Make America Great Again really is one that everyone should want to support (if we remove again!).
The three Trumps can be broadly categorized as such.
The first Trump is just a non-politician being human. Un-politician. Anti-establishment. Good traits this election cycle.
The other two are the 'moderate' and the 'memorable'.
The 'moderate' Trump looks good on paper to those who look at his policies looking for answers, but can't be bothered to investigate how the positions would be implemented. Good for those disengaged non party affiliated voters who just want solutions, not partisan filibustering.
The 'memorable' Trump reaches out to the disaffected, who are drawn in by his bombastic statements, and give them more credit than the underlying more 'moderate', mainstream positions. This is good for those who just want to burn everything down, or are racists. It also gets him massive media attention.
On immigration 'moderate' Trump says that we need legal immigration but we can't let people break the law. Hence we need a strong border but better legal ways for immigration. But, notably, 'memorable' Trump speaks of rapists and building a wall.
On the economy he says we'll take back jobs and win again! Big, bold rhetoric! I'll take back the jobs that have vanished! But 'moderate' Trump says we'll have tariffs. They're reasonable, right? Sanders certainly advocates for them.
In any case, I could provide more examples, and will in the finished writeup. But along these lines, Trump cannot lose? Why? No specifics, ever, except for ones which are adequately outlandish to be written off. I've seen it already. His supporters don't know what he'd actually do, and don't care. In fact, Trump has provided no substantive reasonable workable policy. There is no nuance in any of his policy considerations. All the specifics are outlandish and memorable, not real policy. Trump realizes, should he release real policy, he'll be beholden to it. And he hasn't thus far.
One may question him as being extreme, racist, and bigoted.. A supporter can point to his moderate beliefs on paper, and how he's between the two parties. He wants better immigration opportunities, just to deal with those who have broken the law!
Those who support him on the bombaste certainly won't be dissuaded by the accusation of him being fringe.
Nobody will ever question him on being establishment. His personality, background, and policy proposals, if you can call them that, clearly show that.
To some degree, what Trump says is so non-specific and absurd that it's hard to pin him on anything. It's his feeling, his message that his supporters have been abandoned, that has sway. The only way to truly shut him down (in a meaningful way) is to hold him accountable to his policy, and make him provide policy. If he doesn't provide policy, the American people must be made to see that both his existing proposed policy is bad, and that the lack of policy proposals is a bad thing. I have no idea how one should go about this, but until then, Trump will be really hard to pin down on any substantive matter. His reputation among his supporters can't be damaged if the statements he's attacked on are viewed as non-credible or figurative, the credible statements he's made are reasonable, and his policy positions are too vague to provide a good idea of what he'd actually do.

A Fond Farewell
When you walk into Jeri's office, you can't help but notice how much she's got going on in her world. You get an intentionally chaotic visual representation of a life that is full of activity, of ideas, of action. Though she teaches business and accounting, a quick glance around this room tells you that so much more is happening.
And she never seems to let the smile leave her face.
One seemingly random piece of décor in that busy room may have the most significance: an airless mylar balloon.
"When I was adjunct faculty and someone retired, I was lucky enough to get that job," she said. Ed Mosher (a former colleague and eventual chair of the LCCC Board of Trustees) and his wife Edie bought her flowers and the balloon to celebrate.
"It meant so much to me. I wanted to teach at LCCC, nowhere else," she said. "I've kept that on the wall in my office to remind myself how much I wanted to be here, how much I wanted to do this."
That's one of the lessons she shares with her students: find something to hold on to. "Reflect back on graduation or an experience that got you to this point in life. That's what it's all about."
This spring, Jeri became one of very few faculty ever asked to speak at LCCC's commencement ceremony. That invitation was a reflection of the impact she's had, not just on the college, but on the community.
Jeri was born and raised in Cheyenne, and studied at LCCC. She even shot competitively on LCCC's now-defunct rifle team and earned recognition as the top female shooter in the state. She laughs recalling that "the coach offered a free steak dinner every time we got a perfect score."
After leaving with her associate degree, she headed to the University of Wyoming where she earned a Bachelor of Science in accounting and her MBA soon after.
Though she began her professional career as an internal auditor for a bank holding company, she worked as adjunct faculty for LCCC for more than eight years. In 1996, she began full-time permanent teaching.
Not surprisingly, the instructor then is quite different than the instructor now.
"I used to write all my lecture notes on yellow paper and memorized it like a script. That's how I started!"
Since those early days, she has won faculty of the year honors three times and been invited to speak at national conferences. Looking back, she's accumulated an impressive history of work.
"But the thing I'm going to miss the most is working with students." Jeri shares. "I'm going to miss that inquisitive energy. Trust me, I learn from them too."
That said, her legacy may be equally valuable in what she brought to LCCC in community service.
"Jeri's a master of serving students," Ed Mosher said. "She's dedicated to student development beyond the classroom, especially in service learning."
Jeri acknowledges that her grandfather was probably her biggest life mentor. "He taught me from a very young age that part of being a citizen is to figure out how you can give back to the community." She remembers pulling her wagon, going door-to-door to collect items during the Cuban missile crisis.
"I was preaching to the neighbors about the importance of underground bunkers," she
acknowledges with a hearty laugh, "I was seven years old!"
As a faculty member, she went to a conference that explored the concept of service learning, and she fell in love with the possibilities. "I saw right away how I could match management and service learning. Students could see what it was like to help a nonprofit agency and still practice principles of management."
While she started incorporating that idea into class, she also came across the opportunity to apply for a grant through the American Association of Community Colleges. It was the first time she had ever applied for a service learning grant, and in 2006, her efforts meant that LCCC was one of only eight community colleges to get the award, worth more than $100,000. Soon, the campus was embracing service learning as part of higher education's responsibility to students.
She says her philosophy was to change the culture of LCCC so that it was one of giving. Student engagement passed to the rest of campus, and Jeri recalls that 29 faculty members in 58 courses incorporated service learning as well.
One of Jeri's highly successful projects has been The Pantry, which started a few years ago in cooperation with the former instructor of social work classes, JoLene Klumpp. The Pantry provides food and other necessities to students who may not have the money to eat or who may not have access to dining services.
"Students were hungry. Being hungry affects your ability to study, it affects all kinds of things," Jeri said.
The Pantry is run entirely on donations, including food drives. People also provide
cash donations to help the team purchase items.
According to Jeri, an average of 60 students use The Pantry monthly, and they can use it twice a week, no questions asked. All they need to do is provide their student ID.
"We don't want anything to be a stumbling block," she said.
Another recent venture was the LCCC Community Garden, where a large area north of campus was dedicated to individual gardening plots that anyone could use. While there were some logistical issues in its first few years, Jeri hopes that this project can find its footing and thrive.
But some of the greatest service learning impact comes from the projects that are a required part of her classes. Initially, some students had hesitation about the projects, but now it's grown into something that benefits the community.
"It relates directly to the importance of working together in teams, building trust with people they might not even know," Jeri said.
Even online students in such places as Afghanistan and Japan have to take part. "People work globally, not always in the same settings as their co-workers," she said.
While the projects have benefited numerous people, some of the biggest changes come in the students themselves. At the end of the semester, they write a reflection paper about the experience.
"It's amazing, they're almost like thank-you letters: thank you for making me do this, thanks for pushing me out of my comfort zone," Jeri said.
She shared the story of a 19-year-old student, who admitted that she had never even looked a homeless person in the eye. The student and her team decided to do something for COMEA, which provides support and resources for the homeless community. They bought food, planned a menu, prepared and served the meal. Then they talked with the people after the service and heard their stories. The student told Jeri, "I always thought homeless people were just lazy. Why should we feel bad for them? But after hearing their stories, I knew this could happen to anyone just by health, loss of employment. I have a whole new perspective."
Jeri added: "That's why I do what I do. That's why I love it. It builds understanding."
On top of all this, Jeri was chair of the committee who wrote a proposal to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) to get online courses at LCCC. After at least a full year of intense work, she and her committee compiled a thorough package to get accreditation from HLC. This was in 2005, a time when online learning was relatively new, as was the idea of getting full degrees online.
"We wanted a blanket approval from HLC, instead of program by program," she said. "It really was groundbreaking at the time."
The team – and the college – got total approval.
Even as a self-declared people person, Jeri grasps the value online learning has to many people, giving them access to education. What started with just asking questions and digging through resources turned into an exploration of defining what makes a good online course and what the expectations are for instructors. This resulted in the tremendous growth of online learning and hybrid courses at LCCC.
"It's so interesting to see how things have evolved," she said.
This dedication to the task, this work ethic, is just one of the aspects that garners respect.
"Jeri was not just involved, she was embedded in all aspects of her job," Mosher shared. "Serving on committees, leading the way in obtaining accreditation from HLC, facilitating program transferability. She is the epitome of the meaning for being a professor."
As she looks onto the next chapter of her life, it's worth a quick look back to see what brought her here. Jeri was married to Dave for 32 years, before his untimely passing in 2010. Though she has no children or pets ("or live plants" she adds), she has a tremendous network of friends that has supported her, becoming family in their own right.
In fact, it's often with these friends that Jeri travels the globe. So far, she's visited 48 countries, with more to come this year as she works her way through Europe.
"Jeri and Dave were our neighbors when my family moved to Cheyenne," said Jo Haley, an architect now based out of Texas but who remains close friends with Jeri.
Jo knew that the couple did a fair amount of international travel, which Jeri continued even after Dave's death. "In 2016, she asked if I would go with her to Cuba. It was an awesome experience to travel with Jeri!"
Every time Jeri traveled, she thought about how it could impact her students.
"It gives you a different way of looking at things. It gives you a spirit of adventure, the idea of getting out of your box, which fits well with the ideas of management," Jeri said.
Even to this day, she incorporates stories about her trip to Cuba in her class discussions.
"The people had such a spirit of entrepreneurship across the country, and it had been squelched for so long," she said.
Jeri embraced the people and their culture, wanting to learn more and help in any way she could. It's no different than her approach to teaching at LCCC for nearly 30 years.
"She was always seeking techniques or methodologies which would enrich student learning," Mosher added. "Jeri clearly was and is respected by her peers, the community and her students."
Because of this legacy, LCCC will be a better place thanks to Jeri Griego.

NEW YORK (AP) -- American Home Products Corp. has approached advisors to Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., suggesting a takeover if American Home's merger with Warner-Lambert fails, the Financial Times reported in its Friday editions.
American Home AHP, -52.38% is competing with Pfizer Inc. PFE, +0.91% to buy Warner-Lambert " Most analysts are betting Pfizer's higher bid will eventually win the battle. The takeover fight is now in a Delaware court as all three companies have sued each other.
Spokesmen for American Home and Pharmacia & Upjohn PNU, -8.15% refused to comment on the reported merger talks.
Pharmacia & Upjohn chief executive officer Fred Hassan used to work as a top manager at American Home until 1997.
The London-based Financial Times, citing unidentified sources, said American Home was "testing the waters" just in case the Warner-Lambert deals falls through.
American Home, Warner-Lambert and Pharmacia & Upjohn are all based in New Jersey.

About The Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop
Even though it may seem more logical to think of yourself as a single identity, as described by your passport or security pass, every individual accommodates a unique family of characters, and you will be more familiar with some of these self characteristics than others. Although it may seem as if another person is causing you to feel tension across your mutual boundary, the reality is that the tension they seem to be causing you is often caused by aspects of your own self that are currently unnamed, unowned and unchosen. Many of these perceived differences occur at an unconscious level, so you may not always be aware of the personal tensions that emerge, exist and evolve, and how you can use them to create healthy free-flowing connections with other people, and with your self. The Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop provides you with the processes and experiences that will enable you to consistently connect with your selves so that you can work with them to achieve consistently successful outcomes.
The Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop is a one-day workshop that enables you to actually identify the characteristic that is emerging for you and how that reflects the tension that you are experiencing with another person. Many interpersonal conflicts arise in the workplace because of poorly defined boundaries between self characteristics that you project into another person, rather than identifying them as an aspect of your own behaviour. By using this tension to name your self that is emerging, you can become more aware of your characteristic behaviours in the situation, so you can use them to make a healthy connection with another person,
By working with the self characteristics as they emerge, exist and evolve for you, you can create much healthier and effective relationships between you and the people who you work with. Rather than feeling that other people are causing you tension or that somehow you causing tension for them, you become far more aware of what you are both feeding forward and feeding back across your interpersonal boundaries. Being more self-aware of your own characteristics also results in you becoming more aware of the characteristics of other people, so that you can work together to create a healthy and free-flowing mutual connection.
In the Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop, you will become skilled at using the Self Connection Process, which enables you to name, own, choose and use your selves, so that you can actually use your self-perceptions to achieve your chosen outcome, rather than just feeling that a situation is just happening to you and there is nothing you can do about it. Instead of feeling like you are just experiencing a confusing and uncomfortable jumble of emotions, you become far more aware of what is emerging in your inner world and how you are connecting that awareness to your outer world.
One of the main challenges that you can have in working with your self is viewing yourself as a single stereotyped identity that you and other people expect to behave in a particular way. Instead of providing you with a stable platform for action, this often just results in a situation where you feel stuck in a rut and unable to move forward because no one respects and recognises your value. By working with your self characteristics and realising that you most often experience your unknown and unfamiliar self through others, you can use the connection between your inner world and the inner world of another person to turn together with them so that you can healthily turn your situation around. As you use your self characteristics to turn your situation around, you often find that you turn your self perceptions around, enabling you to open up new opportunities and release yourself from situations that no longer allow you to truly be your self.
How your Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop can increase your awareness
– Enables you to clearly identify who you are in a particular situation
– Demonstrates how to use the Self Connection Process
– Working with your actual selves rather than idealised selves
– Understanding the nature of projecting, presenting, preferring and practising your selves
– Identifying and naming your selves
– Valuing and owning your selves
– Viewing and choosing your selves
– Acting on and using your selves
– Working with your projected selves by feeding your outer world inwards
– Working with your presented selves by feeding your inner world outwards
– Working with your preferred selves to reconnect your inner and outer worlds
– Working with your practiced selves to create healthy free-flowing connections
The real value of your Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop
The real value of your Human Nature for Human Teams Workshop is that you will gain valuable practical experience in using the Self Connection Process, a unique and original process that actually works in real life workplace situations. By actively using your emotions to work with the tensions that you experience along the boundaries between your inner and outer worlds, you will naturally create a healthy free-flowing connection between them. This also enables you to create healthier free flowing connections with other people, giving you more opportunity to put your shared perspectives and insights into valuable and productive action.

DOTC, PNR to pursue $2.5B railway project
MANILA, Philippines—The transportation department is moving forward with a "long-overdue" proposal for a $2.5-billion public private partnership (PPP) project meant to further develop and upgrade Luzon's railway system, whose largest operator is the state-run Philippine National Railways (PNR).
The PPP Center and the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) signed last Friday a consulting contract with Canada's CPCS Transcom Ltd. to prepare the feasibility study for the proposed PNR Integrated Luzon Railway project.
The project has been tagged among the "ambitious" PPP proposals of the government.
The announcement was made by the PPP Center through social networking site Twitter. It said the feasibility study was expected to be completed "by December 2013." There were few details on the Integrated Luzon Railway itself although the PPP Center website noted that the project aimed to cover the entire "PNR mainline" North and South networks.
This includes the mainline north, from Manila to La Union as well as a branch line from Tarlac to San Jose, Nueva Ecija, and a possible extension to Cagayan, information on the PPP Center's website showed. The mainline south refers to Manila to Legaspi City, including the branch line from Calamba to Batangas City, the center said.
It is unclear how the new project will provide a clear master plan for Luzon, given that north and south lines have different operators.
PNR spokesman Paul de Quiros said in an interview that PNR's operations, for instance, were limited to the south line and within Metro Manila.
PNR conducted a test run of the so-called Bicol Express between Manila and Naga City in mid-2011 but these were temporarily suspended for repairs following typhoon damage.
The north line, meanwhile, is being run by North Luzon Railways Corp.
Despite its limited routes, De Quiros noted that the PNR's operating Manila line still served an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 passengers daily.
The PPP Center and the DOTC said they believed that those numbers could shoot up if the Integrated Luzon Railway would be proven feasible in reviving freight operations.
"This will provide a convenient, affordable and environment-friendly alternative transportation for people and their goods," the PPP Center said.
Additional details, such as the timing for the project, were not disclosed while PPP Center executive director Cosette Canilao did not immediately respond for comment.
The PPP Center has identified several other "ambitious" projects. These are the Plaridel Bypass Toll Road, a 24.61-kilometer stretch connecting five Bulacan municipalities, the Manila-Makati-Pasay-Parañaque mass transit project and the Batangas-Manila natural gas pipeline project.

I guess we look like really nice people because the cutest little boy in the whole world came over to pet Maddie and talk with us. He was so excited to tell us that he was wearing Wolverine underwear. I was excited to hear it! Kev and I love Wolverine so much we'd probably wear his underwear too.
We also got to meet this little guy, Rex. He's a 3-month-old rat terrier, which is what breed we believe Maddie is. Kev was overjoyed to see a mini-version of his dog. He often tells me he wishes he could've known Maddie as a puppy. It's pretty cute.
I bet they'd be even cuter if they had matching Wolverine underwear.

A Chinese Imperial cloisonné enamel tripod censer of compressed two-handled lobed form, decorated in
the ""Ming"" style with a band of classic lotus scrolls against a turquoise ground, all resting on three gilt pad feet, 3.5ins (89cm) diameter x 3ins (76cm) high, (Qianlong four-character incised mark with an additional character, and of the period (1736-95))
Note: The character can be read as cheng (pure/clear water) or deng (allowing articles in the water to fall to the bottom).The extra character below the reign mark can also be found on some imperial glass wares and is believed by some scholars to be a serial number from the Chinese classic qianziwen, 'The One Thousand Word Essay', with a strong connection to the Imperial workshops, see ""Elegance and Radiance, Grandeur in Qing Glass"" Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2000, p. 312. Also, according to Beatrice Quette in Cloisonné: ""Chinese Enamel from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties"", Bard Graduate Centre, New York, 2011, p.75 the additional character on the cloisonné incense sets may be for numbering and perhaps for 'differentiating the original location in the different palaces.' A similar censer is illustrated and discussed by Brinker & Lutz, Chinese Cloisonné, The Pierre Uldry Collection, Zurich, 1985, cat. No. 245 & 245a.
Provenance: Capt. Harry L. Evans, RM, (1831-1883) and thence by family descent to the present owner. Captain Evans was part of the Royal Marine contingent serving aboard H.M.S James Watt in 1854, and took part in the capture of Canton in 1857 and the subsequent expedition to White Cloud (Baiyun) Mountains. He was slightly wounded in the attack upon the Pei-ho forts in 1859 and was present at the capture of the Taku forts in 1860. Later that year, he was also involved in the capture of the Summer Palace, Pekin.

There is a touch of whimsy when it comes to this collection of December 2014 design products. Although it would be more accurate to describe the objects as whimsically practical, each design is created with a purpose in mind and given a playful twist in order to appeal to the imagination and creativity many customers are craving these days.
With modern society's concentration on fairy tales, comic books and other fanciful areas of interest, it is only natural that designers would gravitate towards such whimsical aesthetics and applications. The December 2014 design products nevertheless cover a lot of ground from pieces in the home to art pieces and even the odd fashion item. Overall, the December 2014 design products meld whimsy with modern minimalism for a great balance between the two.

Chairman Coun Robert Donkin, who was re-elected for a further 12 months, reflected on 'another very busy year for a proactive group of councillors' in his annual report.
In the past year, the parish council had lost its previous chairman Colin Burn as well as long-serving councillor Joyce Robertson, but had gained Couns Ian Fleming and Mark Mather. There has also been a change of clerks with Linzi Reid replaced by Lynda Cairns.
In terms of the major projects the council has been involved with, Coun Donkin highlighted the installation of interactive speed signs on the A697, moves towards developing a neighbourhood plan and continuing to fight county-council cuts, the brunt of which are faced by rural areas.
In the wider community, he referred to the creation of the boxing and exercise club, the continued success in Northumbria in Bloom and the project to reinstate the fountain in the Market Place.
Coun Alfreda Hindmarsh was elected as vice-chairman.
• The council had received a quote of around £1,900 for installing an automatic winding system in the clock in St Mary's Church, which is the responsibility of the parish council. Currently, a number of residents are paid around £150 a year to wind the clock manually. Members are keen to investigate if any funding may be available for the project.
• Repairs to the fencing around the play area in Scott's Park are to take place as a number of the uprights are missing. The county council is to be contacted as the matting beneath the zip wire is badly damaged and that piece of equipment is badly in need of more bark chippings to make it safe to use.
• The Royal Voluntary Service's Men in the Workshop project, based at Haugh Head, has repaired a damaged seat which used to be along South Road. A couple of new positions in Scott's Park were suggested, but members decided to put it in the play area at Bryson's Park, where there is no seat currently.
• Members are keen to organise a litter-pick for the area of land to the right of the Peth as you enter the village from the south.
They are to approach Smiths Gore and, failing that, Fergusons Transport, which owns the land, for permission to tidy up the area. The clean-up will also extend along the riverbank.

3 Effective Photographic Memory Techniques For You
Who says that only mind freaks can have photographic memory? You definitely can hear the oohs and aahs when the Mind Freak himself was able to draw for you a detailed drawing of the entire city just after a 5 min helicopter ride. It is a miracle how these people are able to remember so well. Now, imagine if you have the exact same power and ability. Wouldn't that be incredible? Just glimpse through your textbooks the hour before you sit for your exam and you will definitely score a miracle 'A'. Check out these 3 effective photographic memory techniques for you that you can use and benefit from.
Before getting started, photographic memory requires some kind of practice and technique too. So if you cannot do it after the first try, do not quit. Give yourself some time to get used to it too.
First, the link system is usually used to aid you with all sorts of memory work. This is highly useful for memorizing texts in the form of lists or chores. So, lets say if you have a long shopping list to remember, try to get all the words and try to make it into mental scenario out of it. Example, if you are given a list of things – pink, shirt, cat, slippers, ironing and flowers, make a picture out of this by thinking of CAT wearing a SHIRT printed with FLOWERS and so on. When you reach the last item, try to link it to the first. This short mental film will help you to remember effectively and quickly.
The second method is to use the peg system. The peg system is used usually to remember images in a sequence. This number-shape system will help you to remember the sequences of images accurately in a jiffy. For example, you are given pictures of a dog, cat, mouse, elephant, antelope and giraffe arranged in this sequence. To use the peg system, simply attach a number to each picture Example 1 dog, 2 cats, 3 mice, 4 elephant et cetera. At the same time, use your mental scenario to make the peg system work. Remember to link the animals to each other, by using the same technique as mentioned in the link system.
The last technique would involve the use of the ever-famous mind mapping. Back in the school days, the mind mapping technique is a very popular and highly encouraged technique. However, over time, people choose to chuck this technique away simply because they are finding it harder to use. Well, this of course depends on the kind of area you are planning to use the mind mapping technique for. To use the mind mapping technique effectively, simply take the key central image of the concept and branch out information that is related. It might get messier as you go by, but it is an excellent tool for organizing a busy timetable or storing large quantities of information.
Developing photographic memory is not at all that tough. If you are not born with this gift, then get sneaky and try out these tricks and apply them. Your friends will be shocked by your tremendous improvement in your memory work.

Looking at the weather here in NE Ohio we just may have some accumulation of the white stuff coming. Soon. Will have to get out the shovels and snow blowers. But why not get in a bike ride while taking care of the chore of clearing the snow? Yes! I'm thinking of rigging up one of these bike snowplows. Do you have one?
Behind the handle bars of my bicycle. Musings and views from the Back Of The Pack. I know I am slow but I am having fun doing it. Rolling along on my bicycle discovering a whole lot of life going on.

Build a Bicycle Snow Plow
I have friends in other states that are complaining about the snow and being trapped in the house having to ride their bike on the indoor trainer. Totally boring for most. Actually, I like my bike trainer. I don't have time to watch TV so when I'm on the trainer (treadmill, or Nordic Track Ski machine) I can be a news junkie, or dream about those HGTV home re-decorating ideas for at least thirty to forty minutes. But there are times when you have to get outside to tend to the business of snow clearing.

Refurbished Galaxy Note 7 units coming to select markets
- by Jacquelyn Byrd
- in IT&Software
- — Mar 28, 2017
The design of the Samsung Galaxy S8 may not be enormously different from the Galaxy S7, where it's likely to have a metal frame and glass back for a start. "Samsung and other IT companies such as Apple should manufacture phones that are easy to fix, refurbish, and upgrade".
The Samsung Galaxy S8 hasn't been announced yet, but that doesn't mean we don't know an very bad lot about it.
Samsung also recently launched Samsung Pay in India, which will be a big selling point for the Samsung Galaxy S8 when it goes on sale in April.
Samsung cancelled the Note 7 and had consumers return their phones just two months after it was originally released. This device has been leaked from almost every angle and in every single way - so much so that there's more of a question of what we don't know than what we do. According to it, as reported earlier, the Galaxy S8 will feature a 5.8-inch (2960 x 1440 pixels) Super AMOLED display, while the Plus variant of the phone will have a 6.2-inch (2960 x 1440 pixels) display.
Independent smartphone retailers here also kicked off their own promotions with free gifts including laptops or plane tickets, as a rising number of South Koreans are keeping close eyes on the first flagship to be released from Samsung since the battery crisis.
The most expensive of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ accessories will be the DeX Station that was leaked a few days back.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
1. came in and went out month by month--Here is an account of the standing military force of Israel. A militia formed, it would seem, at the beginning of David's reign (see 1Ch 27:7 ) was raised in the following order: Twelve legions, corresponding to the number of tribes, were enlisted in the king's service. Each legion comprised a body of twenty-four thousand men, whose term of service was a month in rotation, and who were stationed either at Jerusalem or in any other place where they might be required. There was thus always a force sufficient for the ordinary purposes of state, as well as for resisting sudden attacks or popular tumults; and when extraordinary emergencies demanded a larger force, the whole standing army could easily be called to arms, amounting to two hundred eighty-eight thousand, or to three hundred thousand, including the twelve thousand officers that naturally attended on the twelve princes (
1Ch 27:16-24 ). Such a military establishment would be burdensome neither to the country nor to the royal treasury; for attendance on this duty being a mark of honor and distinction, the expense of maintenance would be borne probably by the militiaman himself, or furnished out of the common fund of his tribe. Nor would the brief period of actual service produce any derangement of the usual course of affairs; for, on the expiry of the term, every soldier returned to the pursuits and duties of private life during the other eleven months of the year. Whether the same individuals were always enrolled, cannot be determined. The probability is, that provided the requisite number was furnished, no stricter scrutiny would be made. A change of men might, to a certain degree, be encouraged, as it was a part of David's policy to train all his subjects to skill in arms; and to have made the enlistment fall always on the same individuals would have defeated
that purpose. To have confined each month's levy rigidly within the limits of one tribe might have fallen hard upon those tribes which were weak and small. The rotation system being established, each division knew its own month, as well as the name of the commander under whom it was to serve. These commanders are styled, "the chief fathers," that is, the hereditary heads of tribes who, like chieftains of clans, possessed great power and influence.
captains of thousands and hundreds--The legions of twenty-four thousand were divided into regiments of one thousand, and these again into companies of a hundred men, under the direction of their respective subalterns, there being, of course, twenty-four captains of thousands, and two hundred forty centurions.
and their officers--the Shoterim, who in the army performed the duty of the commissariat, keeping the muster-roll, &c.
2, 3. Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel--(See on JF & B for 1Ch 11:11 and JF & B for 2Sa 23:8). Hachmoni was his father, Zabdiel probably one of his ancestors; or there might be different names of the same individual. In the rotation of the military courses, the dignity of precedence, not of authority, was given to the hero.
4. second month was Dodai--or, "Dodo." Here the text seems to require the supplement of "Eleazar the son of Dodo" ( 2Sa 23:9 ).
7. Asahel--This officer having been slain at the very beginning of David's reign [ 2Sa 2:23 ], his name was probably given to this division in honor of his memory, and his son was invested with the command.
1Ch 27:16-24. PRINCES OF THE TWELVE TRIBES.
16. over the tribes of Israel: the ruler--This is a list of the hereditary chiefs or rulers of tribes at the time of David's numbering the people. Gad and Asher are not included; for what reason is unknown. The tribe of Levi had a prince ( 1Ch 27:17 ), as well as the other tribes; and although it was ecclesiastically subject to the high priest, yet in all civil matters it had a chief or head, possessed of the same authority and power as in the other tribes, only his jurisdiction did not extend to the priests.
18. Elihu--probably the same as Eliab ( 1Sa 16:6 ).
23. But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under--The census which David ordered did not extend to all the Israelites; for to contemplate such an enumeration would have been to attempt an impossibility ( Gen 28:14 ), and besides would have been a daring offense to God. The limitation to a certain age was what had probably quieted David's conscience as to the lawfulness of the measure, while its expediency was strongly pressed upon his mind by the army arrangements he had in view.
24. neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of King David--either because the undertaking was not completed, Levi and Benjamin not having been numbered ( 1Ch 21:6 ), or the full details in the hands of the enumerating officers were not reported to David, and, consequently, not registered in the public archives.
the chronicles--were the daily records or annals of the king's reign. No notice was taken of this census in the historical register, as from the public calamity with which it was associated it would have stood as a painful record of the divine judgment against the king and the nation.
25. over the king's treasures--Those treasures consisted of gold, silver, precious stones, cedar-wood, &c.; those which he had in Jerusalem as distinguished from others without the city.
the storehouses in the fields--Grain covered over with layers of straw is frequently preserved in the fields under little earthen mounds, like our potato pits.
27. the vineyards--These seem to have been in the vine growing districts of Judah, and were committed to two men of that quarter.
wine-cellars--The wine is deposited in jars sunk in the court of the house.
28. olive trees and the sycamore trees. . . in the low plains--that is, the Shephela, the rich, low-lying ground between the Mediterranean and the mountains of Judah.
29. herds that fed in Sharon--a fertile plain between Caesarea and Joppa.
30. camels--These were probably in the countries east of the Jordan, and hence an Ishmaelite and Nazarite were appointed to take charge of them.
31. rulers of the substance that was king David's--How and when the king acquired these demesnes and this variety of property--whether it was partly by conquests, or partly by confiscation, or by his own active cultivation of waste lands--is not said. It was probably in all these ways. The management of the king's private possessions was divided into twelve parts, like his public affairs and the revenue derived from all these sources mentioned must have been very large.

Today, I think I'm going to ramble a bit about time and the struggles of self-promoting. I've read a few blogs, articles, or comments today that indicate that many people feel as though they are wasting their time blogging, twittering, or self-promoting in general.
I sometimes wonder that myself. Then I open my e-mail, see some new follows on twitter and/or many re-tweets helping me promote our book or helping me help others promote their books or blogs. The word is spreading. So I wonder why have we had so few sales. Is our book just so controversial that no one wishes to purchase it. Is our book too overpriced for some to consider it. If we do lower the price will anyone buy it. Will putting out a second and third book make a difference in our over all sales.
I don't honestly know what the future holds but I'm willing to keep fighting the good fight until I can not fight any longer. Thanks Triberr tribe-mate and new friend, Jeff B., for your inspirational blog posts but especially the one about your Grandfather in World War II. Side note to those of you who are just starting out or still in the process of writing, you might want to look at Jeff B.'s thoughts on ten things Author's should ask themselves.
A final random thought, I learned a few months ago that you shouldn't go into being an author because you'll get big bucks right off the bat. You go into it for the long haul. Not everybody can be an overnight success but if you don't try then you'll never know how you'll do.
Okay, I have one more thought. Maybe you can help us keep a positive attitude during our fight to get noticed and/or purchased by just leaving us a positive (G-rated) comment.
Thanks and have a great one!

The way we seek pleasure always start on our mood and mindset, even with satisfying yourself is no different when you are trying to feel sexy and setting the mood with sexy music , candle light and door lock …unless you like the fact your mate will walk in. Don't forget your lube if you are not wet or not wet enough in your vagina lube is needed. I always say free your mind and your body will follow. Never be afraid to experience to know what will bring you maximum pleasure.
Deep Thrusting will bring intense climax or pleasure. Make use the dildo is firm meaning does not bend. A soft dildo may not work. Now back to to deep thrusting you will take the dildo as deep as you are willing to take it in your vagina that brings those ways of overwhelming pleasure.
Hitting or Milking the G-spot may become a favorite. This climax comes from dragging the dildo across your g-spot back and forth without bring the dildo out. You will be able to cum multiple times once you get this technique down.
Short Rapid Strokes is when you don't take the dildo all the way in your vagina and you stay near the entrance. Just so you know that is where very sensitive nerve ending are. You are able to grip the dildo better with this technique.
The Clit Fill-Up happens when you stimulate your clit and you a need for vagina stimulation. So you insert the dildo as you stimulate your clit. You can move the dildo or not. Some are able to find just as much pleasure with just the insert of the dildo as you stimulate the clit. Again this technique adds to the clit orgasm.
These 4 techniques can be use when you are laying down on your back or on your stomach. Even on your side and yes it can be done sitting down.
If you like to ride your partner you can also ride your dildo. Invest in the ones that comes with suction cups that you can stick to your shower wall, floor or your table. This give both your hands free to roam over your body.
As stated before you have to be open-minded and comfortable with your body. Remember your body will response differently to each technique and you can switch it up. The better you get you will be able to express to your partner what make you feel good.

Basically, in the essay, what Fussell is doing is pointing at the people who disagree with him, and saying "Your opinions are invalid because your experiences haven't biased you to agree with me."
Which is a view we see echoed over and over and over in sociopolitical debate today. Fussell's own "If you'd spent nearly a year getting shot at in Europe, YOU wouldn't care about killing civilians to save your own ass!" becomes "If your city had a suitcase nuke hidden in it, YOU wouldn't care that we had to tape a car battery to some terrorist's scrotum to save your own ass!"
Or "If you'd actually been in New Orleans and gotten shot at by looters, YOU wouldn't complain about FEMA!"
Or "If your family had been murdered, YOU wouldn't oppose the death penalty!"
Or "If you'd gotten your job stolen away from you by some Mexican, YOU'D change your tune about immigration!"
First-hand experience of a complicated or controversial issue can be useful, because it gives a "street-level" view of how the issue looks to and affects people in general. It provides tangible and concrete evidence of just what the stakes are.
But this is a double-edged sword-- the intellectual benefit of concrete personal experience can be overwhelmed by the emotional impact of it. If you're not careful, it can turn the debate over the issue into a matter of pure feelings rather than a balance between reason and emotion. When the debate becomes all about emotions, then the most emotionally manipulative are the ones who frame and control the debate.
("Here's my story about losing my leg to a German shell on D-Day. But I didn't get my leg blown off just so some punk could say whatever he wanted to about the President! That's why everyone should stand united behind whatever the government does!" "...but I don't agree with--" "Look! Look at this stump where my leg used to be!! See how much pain and agony I went through to save YOUR freedom! Aren't you GRATEFUL?!" "Well, yes, but--" "Oh, you hippies are all the same! You say you're SO caring and SO open-minded! You'll cry millions of tears over some poor endangered owl or some homo who can't get a job--but you don't CARE about the HEROES who SUFFERED and DIED for YOU!! If it wasn't for me, you'd be in a NAZI DEATH CAMP!! WHY do you HATE FREEDOM?!")

Connectivity is only the beginning for Millennials and the Digital Age
Millennials witness the start of the Digital Age and connectivity is only the beginning. What have they accomplished so far with Social Media, and what will they come up with next?
Each generation has unique and defining characteristics. Although every generation is online, Millennials are natives to social media and definitely know their way around. They witnessed the Digital Age, going from internet access only on the computer, to 100% connectivity to the outside world, 24/7, in the palm of their hands. During adolescent age, Millennials became quickly immersed in technology which has its advantages, but like anything, has its drawbacks. Information readily available at the tips of your fingers is definitely a convenience, but most Millennials are even guilty of sleeping next to their phones and never "turning off" which can lead to constant connectivity.
Right now media consumption by Baby Boomers all the way to Generation Z is at an all-time high. Millennials receive plenty of criticism like being stereotyped as lazy and entitled, but are the first to adopt social networks and made a big impact on the culture of social media today. Their familiarity with the internet will continue to help change the way we use social media.
Connectivity has become so integrated in every aspect of life it is now literally part of everything you do. Millennials have had a large effect in the shift towards doing anything and everything online, the limits are truly endless. From being able to grocery shop online to having your mobile device second as a credit card is only the beginning of the Digital Age. Generation Z and beyond can't even comprehend a world without technology everywhere. Millennials are media's favorite generation to talk about and in turn, Millennials are the media's biggest fan and critics. Millennials have accomplished a great deal so far in social media, which is a small glimpse of what's to come. What will you think of next?
