Charles Fillmore is one of the most important people in the New Thought movement. His fervent desire to make a difference in the world spurred him forward from being penniless to creating one of the largest New Thought Denominations in the world. The largest in 2009 is Seicho No Ei (The Japanese New Thought denomination that was started by Fenwicke Holmes and Masaharu Tanaguchi)
Fillmore's firm faith in the divine gave him the strength to place all his works in the public domain as he believed that truth should be available to all people and that God would provide for the ministers of such truth. This proved true for his ministry which continued this practice with many writers that it published until after his death. The availability of his works by having them in the public domain made it much easier for the expansion of the various Unity denominations such as Unity in Missouri (the first Unity) and then later Unity denominations such as: Practical Christianity, International Unity, Dove Unity. Eventually New Thought Denominations were formed that use his work but have moved to better embody his original concepts, one of these is the Universal Foundation for Better Living.

Fred Lee's Bio
I'm a city-boy who is training to be a real man in Vermont by chopping wood, fixing the house, shoveling copious amounts of snow, and taking care of his two young children as a stay at home dad. I can honestly say that after my experiences thus far, the true test of any man is how he interacts with his children. Of this, I have no doubt.
I'm also trying to kick-start a career in freelance writing, which is great as long as you don't have any illusions about making any money. In the meantime, I have my family to remind me of the important things in life, and I know that I can always count on them for that.
Besides writing for Wisebread and it's sister site, Parenting Squad , I keep a blog at Parenting the Hard Way and Green in the Green Mountain State.

Cite terrorism, bomb, fuel terrorism, repeat.
While blowback from Libya is felt in Mali, and from Mali in Algeria, recent comments from British and French leaders lay bare western powers' perception of conflict in Islamic lands through the lense of the war on terror that sees "terrorists" that must be stopped through military force with little thought given to the price that will be paid for the involvement.
As France continues to drop bombs on its former colony of Mali, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian left no doubt of his country's goal there.
"The goal is the total reconquest of Mali. We will not leave any pockets" of resistance, Le Drian said Sunday on France 5 television.

I know Professor Posamentier quite well. He was my main math education teacher as an under graduate, graduate and post graduate student. He is a brilliant teacher and I credit him with my skills as a teacher. I completely and whole-heartedly disagree with the premise of this article. Kids might come into college ill prepared but, it is not the fault of AP calculus. Instead I would blame the poor curriculum of Math A and Math B. I would blame the early emphasis of calculator use. I would blame the use of manipulatives, instead of memorization (multiplication tables) in elementary school.
I have been teaching AP calculus for over ten years. The students I have must qualify for the class by taking pre-calculus and doing well in that class. By taking away AP calculus from these kids we are dummying down the curriculum and once again teaching to the lowest level possible. We should not assume that all kids are not capable. The kids in my school are. Sometimes I do end up with students who "sneak in." They don't have the prerequisites. When I find out, I try to "hide" them in the class. The five on the AP exam is not that important. The skills they learn in my class are. AP calculus is a class that teaches kids how to think, how to apply their knowledge to problem solving. They are able to solve problems numerically, analytically, algebraically, and graphically. They must be able to support or confirm answers through written exercises. They must understand that technology is used to support results. Students are taught that mathematics provides the foundation that allows technology to solve problems. No other math class does this.
Calculus taught on the college level does not delve as deeply into the subject as it is on the high school level. There simply is not enough time. Rather than remove AP calculus from the high school curriculum, we should be doing more to insure more students get to take it.

Shorn: Three Esthetics stripped
Last fall, the biggest problem facing upscale salon Three Esthetics in the Glass Building was protesters blocking the parking lot the shop shares with Congressman Tom Perriello's office.
This week, Three Esthetics faces a different problem that threatens the whole business. When co-owner Victoria Snapp came into work on Monday, April 12, the formerly bustling salon and full-service spa was missing chairs, equipment, fixtures and staff members.
"It was abrupt," says Snapp. She was aware her business partner Patrick Butler was leaving, but says, "I was unaware of the time frame."
"I couldn't come to an agreement with the landlord," says Butler. "I had to grab my stuff. I took what was mine and left." Landlord Lisa Murphy did not respond to a request for comment from the Hook.
Butler says he's opening a new salon in a smaller space. And Snapp says with the remaining five stations, Three Esthetics is still taking appointments, although it will likely not continue to exist with that name.
"We're working with the owner [of the building] so that folks that want can continue to work here," says Snapp.
Hair stylist Jeff Burton, an independent contractor at Three Esthetics, is still in shock at finding "trees, plants, and people" gone from his workplace. "I'm up in the air. I think I'm going to wait and see what all I can do."
UPDATE 4/16/10: Owner clarification.
22 comments
III was a great salon. I will be sorry to see it go. But I will definitley keep with my stylist Barbara Lynch. She is fabulous and always professional
freedom of speech! you can't beat it!
Business partnerships are like marriages and they end like divorces. They're messy! But like you said, Esthetics customer, there is a lot your aren't hearing and you're not meant to. If you were, you'd be an owner of the salon also. Just support the "Children" in this divorce and continue to see your favorite stylist or Esthetician as everyone deals with the fallout.
As a client of Patrick Butlers I know he has not been happy for quite some time. I hope that in his new space he will find his happiness. I love his work and am sure on his own will do quite well.
ââ?¬Å?I couldn't come to an agreement with the landlord," says Butler. ââ?¬Å?I had to grab my stuff. I took what was mine and left." Landlord Lisa Murphy did not respond to a request for comment from the Hook.
What lies beneath? So why isn't the landlord commenting? Why is her client grabbing and going as fast as he can to get out of dodge? This building is on the market...why? Apparently, the businesses in the Glass Building are jumping ship...and fast! What's the real deal? Lisa Murphy continues to receive negative press...but why???
Deleted by moderator.
I LOVE PATRICK, he has done my hair and my two girls for over five years and I can not say anything but great things about him. He took care of that business better than anyone else did! He has done the right thing by moving on and getting his own place, he has not been happy for awhile and it is time that he is again:) And I could not be happier for him!
Victoria Snapp is described in the article as "owner Victoria Snapp," but then salongoer says, "From what I hear III got it's name signifying it's three original owners. One jumped ship early, one wasn't present, and it was left to him to run the show."
ââ?¬Å?We're working with the owner so that folks that want can continue to work here," says Snapp.
Here an owner, there an owner, everywhere an owner.
If she's the "owner," who's she talking about working with?
Some thoughts:
1. I wouldn't call that place "upscale". It's just a regular salon.
2. Glad to see the plants go.
3. That whole salon arrangement is weird and confusing when booking appointments. There are women running other waxing/massage businesses in the Esthetics space.
4. There's definitely more to this story we're not hearing. It is a salon, after all.
I went to Three for a little over a year. My stylist was an excellent hair cutter, but completely irresponsible. In the course of the year, she canceled 8 out of 12 appointments... 2 of those, I showed up and was told that she wasn't coming in, and that someone had left a message on my work phone (it was Saturday). Other times I found out she wasn't coming in when I called to confirm my appointment... the last time I called to see what time my appointment was and was told, "___ isn't coming in today, she sent me a text message." I moved on
One never knows the whole truth & nothing but the truth. Many sides exist to the same story, so before you judge a "guy who would treat people like this", how 'bout you ask for a little more about how he's been treated the last few years by the people that were supposed to be involved in running the business? People that left him holding the bag & most responsibilities related to making the money to pay the bills? Sometimes one does what they must to survive. And things don't always end to everyone's satisfaction... but they must end in order for something else great to begin.
i have gone to Three a few times. once my stylist never showed up. Another time my stylist was rude and finally Patrick helped me. It is no wonder why he chose to venture on his own. He needed a more competent staff. I will be happy to follow him and the employees he chooses to take with him. I look forward to seeing patrick, Sara and the handful of stylists at the new salon. and maybe this will be a lesson to the less-professional stylists that worked at Three.
The owner did the best he could with what he had to work with. Patrick will do great at his new place. This is just what it took to weed out the bad apples. From what I hear III got it's name signifying it's three original owners. One jumped ship early, one wasn't present, and it was left to him to run the show. Hopefully everyone will be able to move on from this.
Glad Patrick is going to a new space. What's good will go, what was not will rot.

Interesting. My stylist also has a station at III, and I agree with the first commenter (although I liked the plants). I always had the feeling the place was being run in a slipshod manner, and some of the people who worked there seemed oblivious to the need to appear professional (Jeff Burton and a few others excepted). It used to bum me out as a customer, although I love the gal who does my hair so I returned anyway.
all i wanna know... is erica staying???? erica let your customers know please! we love you!
The airing of ones dirty laundry in public is not very professional. While with any separation be it personal or business there are always lines drawn and sides to be chosen. The breakup should be kept civilized as to do as little damage to each others reputation as possible. After all the parties involved are both business people in the community and will be facing the consequences of this for years to come. Victoria I wish you well wherever this new adventure takes you. Patrick it has always been a pleasure having you as my stylist and I look forward to seeing you as you embark on your adventure as well.
Nice try Boston, but you seem like a teabagger that's still upset that Murphy asserted her private property rights and had you guys thrown out of her parking lot like she should have. Murphy isn't getting any negative press in this article. Where have you seen any such thing? Private property is routinely sold, why is none of your business unless you happen to have some for sale.

There is a project online to transcribe a 17th century Latin-Latin dictionary/thesaurus (here). What does that have to do with anything? Well...
I am big fan of inductive learning, all stemming from my studies using Orberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, an 100% inductive Latin Textbook.
No textbooks really exist like that for Greek or Hebrew that I know of.(1) Latin, of course, is a little easier to do inductively than Greek or Hebrew simply because of the alphabet and the history of the English language.
There are Hebrew to Hebrew (here, #7 and #8) thesauri, but Greek to Greek dictionaries are slim pickings.(2)
Does anyone know of any lexicons (Greek-Greek, Hebrew-Hebrew)? Is anyone familiar with those Hebrew-Hebrew lexicons on this site (#7 and #8)? Are there any searchable, digital editions of those Hebrew-Hebrew lexicons or of any others?
Is Bibleworks at all interested in digitizing those Hebrew-Hebrew ones or creating Greek ones!?
So is anyone else interested in immersive, inductive Greek/Hebrew studies? If so, how do you go about your study?
(1) There is Living Greek and Living Hebrew from biblicalulpan.com, and I absolutely love Part 1 of their Greek series (I am unfamiliar with their Hebrew version). I am using it to teach my pastor's son Greek. I am not so fond of Part 2, simply because it is not very inductive at all. I am currently trying to figure out how to proceed with his inductive education post Living Greek Part 1. I am thinking of either using Athenaze, because it is the best inductive-esque Greek textbook I can find, or using LaSor's Handbook of New Testament Greek: An Inductive Approach Based on the Greek Text of Acts. I am leaning towards LaSor. My plan is to digitize, OCR and hyperlink it using Wikipedia to bring it into the 21st century. Why hyperlink it? You can see why: my plan and an example are here.
(2) There is an 11th or 12th century thesaurus which is very difficult to use. It is online here. On the drop-down menu which says: Ὀλα τα Λεξικά τὴς Βάσεως, click that;
Go down to: [Ω] Φωτίου Πατριάρχου Λεξ. I can't really find anything else. Someone, somewhere recommended that you can use Louw-Nida to find synonyms (like a thesaurus) and that is what I have currently been using. Louw-Nida doesn't work perfectly, but it is the best that I have found.

These vines can become very heavy and require at least 4" by 4" wood supports, or strong metal support; do not use a house or other structures as primary means of support. Wisteria frutescens, the American wisteria, is a less powerful and therefore less destructive alternative to Wisteria sinensis or Wisteria floribunda, the Chinese and Japanese species, respectively

Goodwill reigns as orchestra performs in San Diego's sister city, Yantai
(Read article and view video HERE on U-T San Diego website)
YANTAI – The translation was a bit off, but the message was clear:
"May SDSO concert great success," read the English printed under the large Chinese characters on a red-and-white banner hung from the balcony in the Poly Grand Theatre, where the San Diego Symphony performed its first concert in China on Saturday.
The message was also clear when a hundred children came on stage after the encore and accompanied by the orchestra, sang "America the Beautiful." Whether they understood the words they were singing is questionable, but from the looks on their faces, and the sound of their voices, there was no doubt about their intent.
They, like the orchestra on this visit to San Diego's sister city, were building a bridge between cultures. Nobody knows how strong it will be, or how long it will last, but on this particular evening, being in that hall, witnessing the audience's warmth and enthusiasm, listening to the orchestra and hearing those children, it was impossible not to be hopeful.
There are few things as cooperative as music, and earlier in the day (following a rehearsal), many of the musicians attended the closing program of the Yantai Arts Festival. It included a range of Chinese traditional performers, whether dragon dancers or traditional Chinese musicians. But most impressively, it showcased a troupe doing Yang Ge dance.
Yang Ge, a colorful dance of the people, dates back roughly a thousand years. Apparently in Northern China, they like it so much that it's been known to break out on streets in the evenings.
The particulars of what is essentially a line dance are easy to lose in translation, as Yang Ge has a number of associations and styles that have developed over centuries, but the message is clear: collaboration, cooperation and sheer joy.
That's also the message in much orchestral music, including Bernstein's Overture to "Candide," which opened the symphony's program in the Poly Grand Theatre.
Maybe there's a conductor who takes this score faster than Jahja Ling, but it's doubtful. Under his baton, the overture was a quick burst of energy. It displayed flawless teamwork, especially among the wind players who effortlessly passed the theme back and forth.
Ling took a little more time in an uplifting account of Dvorak's Symphony No. 8. If Ling sometimes tends toward emphasizing the more extroverted aspects of the music, this interpretation was well balanced, with the loud, visceral passages having even more impact and the softer, more lyrical moments offering that much more to savor.
And for its part, the orchestra played with unwavering focus and commitment.
Between the bursts of goodwill in the Bernstein overture and Dvorak symphony was violinist Joshua Bell as soloist in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.
There was much to get excited about in Bell's passionate interpretation. He was in complete command, both technically and musically, and his cadenzas were otherworldly in their finesse and precision.
Even in his instrument's highest range he was able to produce a pure, perfectly tuned sound, and there are few violinists who have the amount of control he has in the softest passages.
But he essentially offered his account of this well-worn concerto, and the orchestra was left to accompany. Maybe that's a soloist's right. But the most inspiring artists also find a way to make the arrangement a partnership.
This concerto was all Bell. Consequently, no matter how expert Bell's performance, the piece didn't have the chemistry of the other two pieces.
The orchestra performs in Yantai again tonight in a different program with violinist Augustin Hadelich, who has been traveling with the orchestra. Expect collaboration and good wishes to break out.

One of the best way to eradicate problems or bad luck is really to arm yourself with loads of positive energy or good chi by continuously having a positive outlook, and of course, having powerful amulets like the VAJRAPANI RUEL, FOUR DHARMAKAYA RELIC MANTRAS & LAMA ATISHA COMBINED AMULETS, or SPECIAL GOLD PIYAO. Some of the amulets enjoys a lot of personal miraculous stories or enjoys a quick turnaround time for the people who got them. Of course, aside from the amulets chanting of mantras and reciting of sutras are powerful tools to eradicate problems and bad luck also.
However, the sad truth is that not all people can chant mantras and recite sutras or acquire these amulets, because it can get relatively pricey for some. Real and powerful amulets do really get pricey because of the materials that are used which are really rare, the rituals and offerings that goes with it. And so, taking this into consideration, I would like to share with you some rituals that you can do to eradicate minor problems or bad luck.
For the first ritual, you will need 30 pieces long incense sticks. In an old can, place 3 crumpled yellow paper, then loosely place the 30 incense sticks, make sure to allow some air to flow so that when you burn them, it will burn easily. Then on a piece of white paper, use a red ink to write down your concern. Then place it on top of the incense. Then use another white paper to light up the incense. Please note that the idea is to light them up like a bonfire and not the usual incense burning wherein there is not much fire. While it is burning chant the mantra of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Kuan Yin (also spelled or called as Guan Yin, Kuan Shi Yin, Guan Shi Yin, Avalokitesvara, Chenrezig) – OM MANI PADME HUM – 108x followed by the mantra of Bodhisattva Vajrapani – OM VAJRAPANI HUM – also 108x.
Another ritual requires you to write down your concerns on a piece of white paper using a red ink. Place it on your altar then every day for 3 days light an incense then chant OM MANI PADME HUM (108X) followed by OM VAJRAPANI HUM (108X). After 3 days tear up the paper, then dig a hole then plant a tree or flower or an herb. Place the torn paper first followed by the seed or shrub or tree. This is a symbolic way of asking the earth to take your problems but you are also replacing it with a good chi of life.

"I don't need much," she said.
Glancing at her registration form that each evacuee had to complete prior to shopping in this space that was once a Target store but now filled with donations, I saw we would be shopping for three. Two adults and a baby, yet she was alone.
"My girlfriend stayed with the baby. She's the one I'm more shopping for. Her and the baby," she explained.
"Okay," I said, pushing the Home Depot cart that had been part of me for the last four hours, shopping with displaced families that had fled their homes due to forest fires raging in and around their home city of Fort McMurray. "I guess we can skip the men's clothing section then. The women's is just around the corner, and you can have three outfits, three pairs of socks, underwear…"
"That's ok," she says, cutting off my listings. "I can skip that stuff. Just really need the baby things for my friend and maybe some personal items."
"I think you'll be the fastest shopper I take through yet," I said grinning at her. Then asked where she was staying.
And her story started. Another personal story of those moments of leaving a home, with only minutes to gather items, and then to be stuck in a grid lock of vehicles on a highway surrounded with flames just meters away, and engulfed in smoke. Lots and lots of smoke.
I was renting a basement suite, she tells me. The house burned. I have nothing left.
"But," she continues, her thirty-something grey eyes glancing my way, "I see it as a fresh start. It's time for a change. I've had quite the year."
And, like the rest of the displaced families I shop with those seven hours, she shares more of her story, beyond the fire.
And I listen, understanding that is all that is needed at this moment.
Victims of a tragedy just needing to talk out their stories.
And I'm reminded that people don't want to be fixed. They just want to be heard.
As a doer, a fixer, I tend to over step my boundaries and try to help another through suggestions, through advise of an action plan, or even humor. But really, is that for them or for me?
Is fixing to help alleviate my breaking heart for others?
Recently I found myself 'fixing' when in reflection I know the better response would have been to just say, "I'm sorry you are going through that. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Speaking later to my coach, he suggested that often when someone we are or have been highly invested in (like a child or even an old boyfriend/girlfriend) is hurting, it is more difficult to not take the stance of wanting to help, to fix.
So how do I become a better listener to all, even those I want to fix to alleviate my selfish desire of my own breaking heart?
With this question in mind, I googled bible verses about how to listen. Many, many verses came up. But many had a common thread.
'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' Jer 33:3
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1 John 5:14
He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." Luke 11:28
Do you see the Thread?
To become a better listener is to call, approach, and hear the word of God first.
So how can I do this?
Through the way He provided us, to stay connected to Him before we are again in our true home-prayer.
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12
I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19
Do you find yourself like me, trying to fix? Do you have a way that you stay connected to God moment by moment as you interact with other? Do you have a story where you saw God working just by you being His ears to another?
PS. I've been a bit silent here, I realize. I found myself burning out as I was leaning on my own strength again. As one who has burden-bearing tendencies I can take on the hurts of others, rather than let go and give them back to God. I'm a WIP (work-in-progress) and thank you for sharing in my journey with the hope it will encourage and inspire yours, as God-wills!

Tako Luka (たこルカ) is an officially recognized derivative of Megurine Luka, and the result of creativity of imagining Luka's hair in the form of an octopus, in the same manner as Hachune Miku. This octopus had a very important involvement in Vocaloid fandom, most notably in the Japanese community. Both Tako Luka and Hachune are seen as mascots side by side with their source characters. The word "Tako" means Octopus, meaning that her English name is rendered as "Octopus Luka".
The term "Derivative" is used here to describe a fanmade Vocaloid character that is based on an already existing character.
Tako Luka is the indirect result of the Character Item War that was made to determine Luka's character item. Tako Luka was created by Sangatsu Youka (三月八日), aka. Sanpachi, after realizing Luka's hair reminded him of an octopus. Her creation marked the end of the cyberskirmish that ensued in the wake of Luka's announcement and launch.
Tako Luka is one of the Vocaloid derivatives that became officially recognized by Crypton Future Media, the publisher of the Character Vocal Series for Vocaloid 2. The other derivatives bearing this distinction are Meiko Sakine, Neru Akita, Haku Yowane, and Miku Hachune.
In Project Diva , Tako Luka makes random cameos in the PSP game, Hatsune Miku ~Project Diva~ and again in all of its sequels. Usually she is spotted scampering around the scene or waving her tentacles at the viewer, a few of her appearances are in the PV for Double Lariat and Luka Luka Night Fever.
Official licensed Tako Luka have been produced, such as phone charms and plush toys. She is also bundled with a Megurine Luka Nendoroid. If more than one version of Tako Luka is sold of any given item, a lottery is usually established for the item wherein one of 3 faces are able to be bought. However, the buyer will not be able to determine which of the 3 he or she receives. So far, this has been carried out with the Tako Luka plush doll and the charm.
Voice Portrayals
Tako Luka shares pretty much the same voice as (or high pitched) Luka herself, regardless of voice bank.
Famous Songs

- An octopus jar is Japanese traditional fishing gear to catch an octopus.
- Tako Luka marks the end of the item war procedure that has presumed since Miku Hachune. While it still goes on to a degree, for the large part it is mostly done as a joke now.
- Tako Luka shares some things with Megurine Luka , whose item is also a Tuna for example.

This scanning electron microscope image shows an electrospun scaffold grown for studying brain tissue engineering and nerve regeneration. Scaffolds are of great interest in tissue engineering and nerve regeneration because they form a framework on which soft tissue is supported and thereby start its regeneration process. Electrospinning is a versatile process that creates nanofibers by applying a high voltage to electrically charge a liquid. Researchers can tailor a scaffold to meet the requirements of the tissue they seek to regenerate. • SIZE: The image displayed is about 70 µm wide. • IMAGING TOOL: Scanning electron microscope

Cheap hotels in Dubai still have awesome features that make tourists pleasant. Shop til you drop Flock to any one of the magnificent shopping malls in Dubai and you're in for a treat. Retail therapy takes on a whole new level when you enter these air-conditioned mini cities. Check out the local mall near your hotel in Dubai and you're likely to find luxury brands and world-class dining. Our favourites include the Dubai Mall with over 1200 stores and Mall of the Emirates.ư Buzzing beaches Dubai beaches are packed with activities. Tourists and locals flock to the sands to exercise, play games, take out the jet-skis and of course top up their tans. For sun worshippers, Kite Beach (or Wollongong beach as it's sometimes known) is a gorgeous option. If your Dubai hotel is near JumeirahBeach Park, it's worth stopping off to enjoy the cool grass and hot sands, but our favourite is Al-Mamzar Beach Park with long white sandy beaches. It's perfectly acceptable to wear swimwear on Dubai beaches, but you may like to consider paying for one of the entry-fee beaches for a bit more privacy. Amazing adventures If you've saved on a cheap Dubai hotel, then this is where you should splash your cash. Dubai is home to some incredible experiences, guaranteed to set your heart racing. We love hot air ballooning over the Dubai Desert Conversation Reservation, or a day at Meyden Racecourse watching the horses- it's a world away from Ascot, and an incredible experience. Fantastic food When in Dubai, try manakish- baked flatbreads with cheese and minced meats. Head to the Al Reef Lebanese Bakery and ask the staff to recommend their favourite filling. If you're looking for a romantic restaurant, head to Bait Al Wakeel for authentic local cuisine and and a breath-taking view over the creek. Awesome architecture Dubai perfectly marries the old and the new in a single place. Whether you're staying in a palace or a cheap hotel, you can enjoy some of the best architecture on foot, or if you're feeling daring, by sea plane. Check out Burj Al Arab the sail-like building large enough to fit the Statute of Liberty inside, the striking Sheik Zayed Mosque, top it all off with a trip to the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building at 828 meters. Dubai is one of our chosen destinations for our guide on Where's hot in May. Check out what activities you can enjoy including an indoor ski slope and a floodlit game of golf.

Will Google+ be a "Facebook killer" or just Google's next failed social network? It's certainly gaining traction, with over 500 million users now on board, already half of Facebook's total. Then again, the average Facebook user spends nearly seven hours per month on the site—compared to just three minutes for the average Google+user.
Many of this year's best posts about Google's newest social platform were written early in the year. Since then, though the user base has continued to grow, enthusiasm seems to have waned. While Marty Weintraub offers a more provocative metaphor below, it almost seems like Google+ is becoming the colonoscopy of social networks: everyone agrees it's vitally important, but few people really want to talk about it or spend any more time on it than absolutely necessary.
"Ghost town" or not, many experts agree that Google+ is here to stay, and it's valuable for b2b marketing, SEO, personal branding, and reputation management. So what makes Google+ special? What are the best practices for business use of the platform? How can an individual or organization most efficiently grow a following there? And will Google+ end Facebook's domination of social networking—or will it "break the Internet"?
Find those answers and more here in two dozen of the best Google+ guides, tips, rants and raves of the past year.
Google+ Guides and Tips
5 Things Google+ Offers Brands That Facebook Doesn't by Sprout Insights
Susan Gunelius outlines five social networking features unique to Google+, including circles (which enable you to "separate your customers from your colleagues and online influencers from your business partners") and hangouts (which can be "used for things like small-group webinars, question and answer sessions, and more").
Why brands will lose if they ignore Google+ by iMedia Connection
Though he calls Google+ a "half-baked invention," Daniel Flamberg nevertheless advises that "savvy marketers should use Google+ these five ways," including experimenting with hangouts, expanding social assets and audiences, and optimizing branded search: "Link owned digital assets to Google+. Use the +1 and encourage your followers to do the same. Plant +1 badges on all your assets to take advantage of the Direct Connect tool that automatically brings customers and prospects searching in your category to your page."
6 Steps to Getting Started With Google+ by Social Media Examiner
For marketers who are either still on the fence about Google+ or just haven't done much with it, Marc Pitman provides an excellent guide to the basics like filling up your links "While you're editing your 'about' page, be sure to pay attention to the 'other profiles' section…(consider adding) links to other social media networks, links to your business sites (and) links to special pages on your website."
The First 5 Things You Should Do With Your Google+ Business Page by WindMill Networking
Once you've finished with Marc Pitman's post above, Mark Traphagen presents a five-step process for taking your business presence on Google+ to the next level, starting with 1 four-item list on optimizing your page for SEO followed by upgraded the visual appearance of your page and filling your stream with quality content.
3 reasons Google+ is not a social network by iMedia Connection
Lauren Friedman explains why she thinks Google+ is not a social network but brands should be there anyway–for example, for SEO purposes: "The best way brands can take advantage of Google+ is to amp-up their SEO. Each time a user clicks the +1 button, it helps with that brand's SEO and the content getting served to users above other content. Search results are personalized based on the +1s of those in your circles, and as a marketer, that changes the game. Search results are still based on Google's proprietary algorithms, but sites with more +1s will appear to be more relevant and thus ranked higher."
3 Successful Google+ Pages and Why They Work by Social Media Examiner
Lisa Peyton highlights three examples of successful Google+ brand pages such as the NASA page, where "The active space and science community on Google+ may support speculation that platform users are mostly tech-savvy early adopters. This finding contradicts the fact that the TOP Google+ profile belongs to pop star Britney spears. However, her page garners less engagement based upon the number of followers than the top brands outlined in this article."
Google+ for SEO? Don't Focus on Your Brand Page! by B2B Digital Marketing
Contradicting popular wisdom, Eric Wittlake argues that "Google+ Brand Pages are not the ticket to SEO success. In fact, if you focus your Google+ efforts on your new brand page, you will miss the most important search benefits of Google+." He then outline three strategies he says are designed to improve search rank and traffic.
6 Reasons Why Adding Google+ to Your Web Presence & SEO Strategy is a Good Idea by iMedia Connection
Krista LaRiviere of web presence optimization software vendor gShift Labs offers six reasons for brands to embrace Google+, among them fresh content ("Google+ is just one more place to publish your press releases, blogs, testimonials, case studies and news. The difference with Google+ is that your content, if found, will be listed at the top of Google personal results mixed in with traditional search results") and the fact that Google+ produces social signals which factor into Google's ranking algorithm.
32 Totally Free Google "Search Plus Your World" #SEO Resources by aimClear Blog
Frequent best-of honoree Marty Weintraub compares Google+ to a dominatrix (it makes sense the way he writes it), offering short-term pleasure (search rank improvement) at the expense of long-term frustration. Still, he thinks it's worth the effort to chase the temporary bump and so shares an excellent list of nearly three dozen how-to articles from writers like Lisa Barone, Matt McGee and Stephanie Cain.
Reputation Management: How Google+ Can Be Your Best Friend or Your Worst Enemy by Business2Community
Contending that "PageRank, Google's ranking scoring system, is profoundly impacted by these (Google +1) votes," Danny DeMichele provides a simple four-step process for using Google+ as part of a broader reputation (personal or brand) strategy.
20 Google+ Terms and Definitions You Need to Know by Sprout Insights
Susan Gunelius (again) presents helpful definitions of basic (e.g., "Chat: Using the Chat feature, you can notify people in your Google+ Circles that you're online and available for an online chat from within Google+") and advanced Google+ terms (such as "Data Liberation: Use this feature to download and backup the content in your Google+ Account, which is available through the Google+ Settings option [the gear icon in the upper-right corner of your screen when you're logged into your Google+ account"]).
How Google's +1 Button Affects SEO by Mashable
Keith Kaplan explains that although "The +1 has an indirect effect on your site's search rank. This does not mean the more +1's a link has, the higher rank it achieves in traditional search results," it can indirectly help with SEO by making a piece of content more likely to be clicked on and shared on other social networks—which does actually affect rank.
How to Effectively Create a Google+ Following of 10,000 Engaged Fans by Search Engine Watch
Eric Siu shares advice from Fraser Cain, publisher of the Universe Today space and astronomy news website, on how to build, maintain and engage a large following on Google+. Eric contends that Fraser's success, based on unique content and active network, belies the notion promoted by some (such as Austin Carr, below) that Google+ is a "ghost town."
Build Your Google Plus Page Following with Topical Pages by WindMill Networking
This tip from guest blogger Mark Traphagen (again) is almost too good to share. "What if you could create opt-in subscription lists on Google+? You can! Here's the wonderful secret: you can create a Google+ page about virtually anything, including a topic. It doesn't necessarily have to be connected with a brand name." He then details a "simple strategy for using Pages to create opt-in subscription lists about specific topics."
Quick Tricks to Make Your Google Plus Business Page Sparkle by ZD Design Blog
Again arguing against the "Google+ is a ghost town" thesis, Donnie Bryant here provides a handful of helpful tips for getting more performance out of a Google+ business page, from creating a short URL and maximizing the use of photos and video to encouraging sharing.
The Marketer's Guide to Google Plus by KISSmetrics
Zach Bulygo offers a highly detailed and richly illustrated guide to marketing on Google+, from the basics of business page setup and getting a verified name to optimizing your tagline, use of photos. Google+ author tag and the +1 sharing button.
How to Use Google Plus for Personal Branding and Establishing Author Rank by WindMill Networking
Neal Schaffer quotes Mark Traphagen (one last time), who calls Google+ a "powerhouse" because of its "tight integration into Google search. Google+ posts are easily indexed by Google search, and unlike tweets or Facebook posts, are treated much like regular web pages. That means a well-constructed G+ post (with a main keyword in the first sentence/title and a good amount of engagement) can rank well in Google search and, unlike other social media status posts, actually stay ranked for a long time," and explains why Google authorship is important and how to set it up.
Google+ Rants and Raves
Google+ Is Going To Mess Up The Internet by ReadWrite
Jon Mitchell is not a fan of Google's latest social network and isn't afraid to say so. He writes, "Google tools used to enhance the Internet. But as Google ships 'the Google part' of its new Google+ identity, it's breaking the Web it once helped build," and then offers half a dozen specific reasons why.
"Don't Be Evil" Tool — Backed By Facebook & Twitter — Shows Google's "Search Plus Your World" Can Go Beyond Google+ by Search Engine Land
Danny Sullivan details the use and results from the "Don't be Evil" browser bookmarklet, stating that "The companies behind the tool feel Google's hasn't focused on what's best for its users with Search Plus Your World. They have a good point. But the tool makes this point better than all the debates that have happened so far around Search Plus Your Word, because it shows what Google could have done to better serve searchers, if it had wanted to." He also explains how some features of Google+ are part of the problem.
How Google+ Is Encircling Your Brand by MediaPost
Though he believes "Google+ is emerging as a great way for brands to connect directly with consumers," Gavin O'Malley also notes that a disproportionate share of interaction is driven by a few aggressive, early adopting brands on the platform, and points out "Google+ still has less than 1/100th the number of total consumers interacting with the top 100 brands that Facebook has achieved."
Exclusive: New Google+ Study Reveals Minimal Social Activity, Weak User Engagement by Fast Company
Austin Carr reports on the findings of a study which paints "very poor picture of the search giant's social network–a picture of waning interest, weak user engagement, and minimal social activity." Among te research findings from RJ Metrics, "Roughly 30% of users who make a public post never make a second one" and "Even after making five public posts, there is a 15% chance that a user will not post publicly again." The author concludes that Google+ "might indeed just be a 'virtual ghost town,' as some have argued."
Think You Don't Need Google+ in Your Business? Think Again! by Rebekah Radice
While acknowledging that Google+ has its shortcomings and that many marketers remain (not entirely unreasonably) skeptical about the platform, Rebekah Radice nevertheless offers half a dozen reasons to embrace Google's social network, such as the circles and hangouts features and the B2B networking value.
With Google+ Communities, Google launches its own version of Facebook Groups by VentureBeat
Tom Cheredar explains how Google+ Communities work and how this capability compares with Facebook groups: "There are a few notable (notable differences between Google+ Communities and Facebook Groups), including the ability to start a Google Hangout video chat with the community and sharing things specifically with G+ communities from any +1 button. That's pretty cool, and something that might actually attract people to use it over Facebook."
Google+ becomes the world's social platform…with Community by Relevanza
Writing that "While Google announced Google+ reached 500 million users, the bigger announcement by far was the roll out of Google+ Communities," Steve Hart explains what Communities are, how they work, what they can be used for, and why they are "a BFD."

The premise of "Blind Date" is that Jack sets Liz up on a date with his friend "Thomas." Long story short: Liz arrives at the restaurant for the date only to be greeted by the beautiful Gretchen Thomas, a woman, portrayed by Stephanie March (who many lesbian, bisexual, and queer women also lurve for her portrayal of ADA Alex Cabot and subtextual relationship with Olivia Benson).
Anyway, during the date, the following conversation ensues:
Liz: [laughing] Why would Jack just assume that we're lesbians?!
Gretchen: I am a lesbian.
Upon hearing this revelation, Liz guffaws a dorky, overly-enthusiastic: "That's awesome!"
The humor is in how the supposedly open-minded Liz clearly had a stereotypical image in her head of what lesbians look like and Gretchen, being blonde, feminine, and beautiful, did not fit into that image. This subversion of stereotypes is reinforced when Gretchen asks Liz if people mistake her for a lesbian often and Liz responds by playing a montage in her head of people mistaking her younger self for a lesbian and a boy. The message: The hetero Liz Lemon out-lesbians actual lesbians. Er, that is, lesbians can be stereotypically feminine and heterosexual women can be stereotypically masculine. (Yeah, not news to many of us, but I suppose we give mainstream television brownie points for this observation).
Secondly, during the episode, Gretchen and Liz hit it off and discover that they are compatible in their own nerdy, if not sapphic, way. They talk about plastics, joke about being like "Oprah and Gayle," and bond over being single (Gretchen on being scared of dying alone in her apartment: "And it's not just choking, ever since I turned thirty every time I get in or out of the bathtub I think in my head 'Careful…careful…'"). In this way is a (albeit fleeting) lesbian character not presented as Other, but as akin to, and perhaps even more "normal" than, Liz's heteronormative main character.
Indeed, the audience is invited to be somewhat appalled at Liz's use of Gretchen. Although both women are aware of the other's sexual orientation, their continual "dates" blur the line between platonic friendship and romance. Gretchen at first expressed no interest in "chasing a straight girl," but Liz, bored, lonely, and flattered that Gretchen thinks she's "great," pursues an ambiguous relationship by initiating further contact, date-like encounters, and trips to IKEA. When Gretchen expresses concern about their evolving girlfriend-like relationship and says they need to take a break, Liz responds:
Liz: Okay wait, what if we made a pact. What if we say that in like 25 years if neither of us has someone, we'll move in together and be roommates? And even though I'm not into the sex stuff, if it helps you... I would let you... [looking grossed out] do stuff... to me.
Gretchen: [not amused] I can't be around you anymore. Bye Liz.
So, in answer to Bendix's question. I give 30 Rock a pass because the joke's not on lesbians. But, it's not on heterosexual women either. It's more specific than that and that's why it's funny. It's on clueless people, like Liz Lemon, who think they're liberal or progressive yet who also don't understand why a lesbian wouldn't leap at the chance to be in a pseudo-relationship with a straight woman who is grossed out by the thought of "doing stuff" with another woman.
This is not to say that 30 Rock always gets the humor right. Just that, in this episode, I believe it did.

Bill requiring cursive instruction clears NC House
The North Carolina House wants public school students to brush up on the basics with mandatory instruction in cursive writing and multiplication tables.
House members unanimously passed a bill Thursday requiring public schools to teach cursive writing and multiplication tables in elementary schools. Rep. Pat Hurley of Asheboro sponsored the bill, and he argued cursive writing is an essential skill for any adult and it helps children develop mentally.
Hurley said the issue came to her attention after a group of fourth graders sent thank-you notes for a visit entirely in print. She said she sent inquiries to every school district in the state asking whether they require cursive instruction, and most of the 62 that responded told her it's optional for teachers.
The bill now goes to the Senate.

Hamilton, Colabello earn co-AL Player of Week honors
Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton and Twins first baseman/designated hitter Chris Colabello have been named co-recipients of the American League's first Player of the Week Award of the 2014 season.
The two shared the honor, which was the first of Colabello's career and the third of Hamilton's.
Over six games last week, Colabello hit .391 (9-for-23) with four doubles, one home run, 11 RBIs and four runs scored. He led all AL players in RBIs while ranking second in doubles, tying for third in total bases (16) and tying for fifth in hits and slugging percentage (.696). It's the first weekly honor for a Twins player since Josh Willingham on April 16, 2012.
Colabello doubled twice en route to a career-best six-RBI game on Thursday against the White Sox, and he went 2-for-5 with a double, four RBIs and a run in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Indians. He had two bases-clearing doubles for the week.
Hamilton, who led all Major Leaguers in slugging percentage (.864) and on-base percentage (.560), hit .500 (11-for-22) with two doubles, two homers, five RBIs and five runs last week. He led the AL in batting average and hits while tying for first in total bases (19). He went 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBIs on Friday before going yard on Saturday.
"He's obviously a different player than he was last year," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said this week. "He's back to his playing weight [about 240 pounds]. He has a comfort level in the box that started to come together the second half of last season but never really materialized the way it had before in his last couple years in Texas. Right now, we are seeing it. Hopefully, he's in a better place in the batter's box now and will maintain it for long stretches."
Other players considered for the weekly honor were Seattle's Felix Hernandez (2-0, 1.88 ERA, 14 1/3 innings pitched, two walks, 19 strikeouts) and Justin Smoak (.292 average, two homers, eight RBIs), Chicago's Chris Sale (2-0, 1.76 ERA, 15 1/3 innings, two walks, 14 strikeouts), Toronto's Melky Cabrera (.323, 10 hits, three homers) and Detroit's Torii Hunter (.300, three homers, seven RBIs).

A Hope professor's effort to save his students money has led to a national award.
A Hope professor's effort to save his students money has led to a national award.
Dr. Steve VanderVeen, professor of management and director of the Center for Faithful Leadership, is one of only eight professors nationwide recognized through the Faculty Recognition Textbook Scholarship Contest coordinated by the Used Textbook Association (UTA). He has been honored for reducing students' book-buying costs by choosing to use an earlier edition of a textbook that he feels continues to be just as relevant in the material it presents.
The award includes a $500 textbook scholarship from the UTA. The funds are being used to reduce textbook costs for students at the college.
As he prepared materials for one of his management classes a few years ago, VanderVeen realized that the newest edition of the text that he liked to use wasn't much different than the previous edition - in fact, it wasn't different at all for the portions he intended to use.
And so he hit on an idea. Purchase multiple copies of the previous edition at a reduced price and rent copies to his students for a nominal fee - much less than the new book would cost them, and also less than the net cost would have been even had they been able to sell the newer book back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. With the new edition hitting the shelves, wholesalers were eager to be rid of the older version, and VanderVeen and Mary Deenik of the college's bookstore staff were able to find more than enough copies at favorable prices.
After renting the books to his students for a couple of cycles - saving them money all the way - VanderVeen eventually paid off the initial cost of the used books. All subsequent proceeds have been plowed back into the college's academic program, specifically to support the Institute for Project-Based Learning, through which students pursue real-life management projects from start to finish, often working on behalf of a local company or community organization.
"There were two reasons that motivated the idea," he said. "First, although the transmission of textbook knowledge has its place in education, I believe that the best knowledge is experiential learning guided by mentors, using textbook knowledge as a base. Therefore I wanted to financially support a project-based learning program. Second, I wanted to save students a little money. It turns out I can save them a lot of money and improve their education by buying almost-new editions of textbooks."
All of the eight faculty recipients were nominated by members of the UTA for demonstrating a commitment to affordable and used textbooks. Deenik, who as the college's textbook manager is a member of the UTA, nominated VanderVeen for the award. The UTA evaluated the entries based on the faculty members' efforts and impact to help students.
"The Used Textbook Association recognizes and salutes the important role that faculty have in selecting textbooks and promoting affordable options for students," said Eunice Clark, who is the executive director of the Used Textbook Association. "We are proud to show our appreciation to these faculty members and, in turn, provide textbook assistance to deserving students on the winning campuses."
The Used Textbook Association was formed in 2006 to advocate the role and value of used textbooks in the marketplace and in turn increase the supply of used textbooks available to students. The association works to educate students and faculty members on the buy-back process, improve the rate of early adoptions by faculty members, and ensure that textbook merchandising practices are appropriate and meeting the goals of higher learning.
The Faculty Recognition Textbook Scholarship Contest focused on the importance of the faculty members in the textbook process. In addition to Hope College, the institutions at which the winning faculty members are based are: Our Lady of the Lake University; Regent University; the University of Alabama; Alma College; Kaskaskia College; Arcadia University; and Southeast Technical Institute.

I think TT relies too much on the draft. He needs to consider modifying his approach somewhat to include more free agent acquisitions. TT hasn't totally ignored free agency as some contend and obtaining players via the draft is an important part of building and maintaining a quality team no doubt. But I think he is a bit off-balance w/re to his approach and free agency needs more attention this off-season. It's interesting because when you look back at TT's history of acquiring free agents, it makes a compelling argument for doing it more often. It could even be said that the percentage chance that a free agent will perform well for the Packers is greater than the percentage chance a draft pick will. Consider Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, Atari Bigby (sort of), Chillar, Tramon Williams, Ryan Grant. (Al Harris wasn't a TT acquisition, but he's been a great free agent pick-up).
But my concern is that TT will not look into free agency much and that the Packers will continue to be a losing team under his watch, using his philosophy. We're 32-34 under TT . While I give him a bit of leeway for 2005 when Sherman was still around, and I understand implementing a new philosophy takes some time, the fact is that this team has only made the playoffs once in his 4 years – and this is in stark contrast to the success the team enjoyed prior to his arrival. Read below from a Tom Silverstein article this morning quoting TT – this is why I don't think he will change much of anything this off-season (thanks to reader Scott W for bringing this to my attention):
"We're going to try to improve this team like we always do," Thompson said. "People talk about free agency, draft. We'll use whatever avenues we can to try to improve this team. But again, I'm still going to preach the thing we've always preached: The best way to get better, the most consistent way to get better, is to improve from within."
TT, please take a look at some quality free agents out there. You've done nicely to give us the cap room we enjoy and I'll even say tentatively that you've built a good nucleus of young players. But we're not winning. So modify your approach. Complement these young guys now with some quality veterans. Other teams have done this more than we have recently and have enjoyed more success (the Patriots for example). Consider the fact that veteran leadership has value and that players who have already played in the NFL at a high level are more likely to contribute immediately than drafted rookies.
