(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Hell hath no fury like a woman whose daughter is hurt in a concert melee in the Gulch. On Wednesday's (March 27) episode of Nashville, Rayna finally gave her tourmate Juliette a piece of her mind. And it wasn't the nice piece. It was all because Juliette had tweeted she was doing a show at Two Old Hippies — a very cool store that actually exists in the real Gulch neighborhood in Nashville — which caused much too much of a crowd to gather. So, as crowds do, it got very unruly, and Rayna's daughter Maddie fell and hit her head. After a trip to the hospital, Maddie was released, and Rayna made the inevitable call to Juliette. "Man, girl, you don't take responsibility for anything," Rayna screamed. "I don't know what you're doing, but you hurt people around you all the time! Wake up!" That call actually did wake Juliette up. By the end of the episode, she'd had a breakthrough with her addict mother and had gone to the hospital to pay the bill of everyone who was hurt at her show. So thank you to Rayna and her wrath. Other things happened, too. Scarlett and Gunnar decided they really are into each other and it really did mean something when they slept together, Deacon slept with his puppy's Grace Potter lookalike of a veterinarian, Rayna offered a record deal to Scarlett, Deacon revealed he was the one to blame for a drunk driving accident that killed his best friend and Avery went back to the Bluebird Cafe after walking away from his record deal.

When we found this article we were so excited, having hunted for over a year for this, discovering it on this site was an exciting day for yours truly.
As part of its efforts to improve and streamline solid waste management (SWM) in the city, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike will soon begin distribution of two-way radios (walkie-talkies) to officials handling the service.
According to BBMP Commissioner M Lakshminarayana, walkie-talkie handsets will be used to relay messages on uncleared garbage. When members of the public call the BBMP's control rooms with complaints on uncleared waste, staff will relay the information to the officials concerned via walkie-talkie.
Interestingly, the plan could cut costs as it does not involve purchase of new equipment. Instead, nearly 300 two-way radios, that are currently used by senior officials or fitted to their service vehicles, will be redistributed to other staff.
Lakshminarayana explained that currently walkie-talkies were provided to staff of the rank of assistant executive engineers and above. "However, the service was not effective as officials were using mobile phones," he said.
"Now, in order to utilise the service more effectively, we are planning to provide this service only to officials working in SWM such as health inspectors, assistant engineers (including ward engineers) and others," he said.
Explaining further, Lakshminarayana said walkie-talkie handsets given to officials working in welfare, roads and other departments will be withdrawn.
"These officials do not require this service," he said.
He also said because of unnecessary lines, walkie-talkie communication was not effective.
"All these days, walkie-talkie service was hierarchy-based and given to senior officials. But now onwards, it will be an activity-based service," he added.
The Commissioner said he had asked the joint commissioner (Health), who is in-charge of SWM, to provide a list of officials working in the department.
However, some Councillors are sceptical. A senior councillor from the BJP, who wished to remain anonymous, said "Our officials do not have commitment. If we complain about garbage on the streets to them over phone, they will not make an attempt to clear it."
"Now, complaints will be conveyed to officials via walkie-talkie from control room staff. How can one expect them to clear the garbage?," he questioned.

text: This underrated teen-revenge horror film starring Stephen Geoffreys (Fright Night) was the directorial debut of Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. Geoffreys plays Hoax, a picked-on nerd who lives with his religious-nut mother Lucy (the marvelous Sandy Dennis). One day Hoax calls a 976-line for a "Horrorscope," and the demonic voice at the other end starts giving him wicked advice. Before long, he has killed his brother's girlfriend with tarantulas, slashed the face of a teen tough with his newly-sprouted talons, and gutted several of his tormentors. Only a well-meaning journalist and a sexy schoolmarm can stop the now-demonic Hoax before he sends the whole neighborhood straight to Hell. Granted, the screenplay is rather confused and slow-moving, but Geoffreys and Dennis are great, the effects work by Kevin Yagher is skillful, and this is one of the few teen-horror films with characters that are actually interesting. Look for Robert Picardo (The Howling) in a fun cameo as the diabolical Mark Darke. After a brief stint as a teen star, Geoffreys went on to appear in gay porn films as "Sam Ritter."

Spa-Francorchamps, 2 May 2014 - Aston Martin Racing will start the second round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), the Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, from second and fifth place in GTE Pro class and seventh and eighth place in GTE Am. The #97 V8 Vantage GTE Pro, piloted by Aston Martin Racing factory drivers Darren Turner (GB) and Stefan Mücke (DE) improved throughout the session as the track evolved lap-by-lap. Stefan Mücke completed the first half of qualifying and after completing his two mandatory laps, with an average lap time of 2:33.856, the car was positioned third in the standings. After handing over to teammate Turner, improving conditions assisted the British driver in lowering the car's average to 2:32.505 and improving their position to second. Bruno Senna, who did not participate in the qualifying session, will join the experienced pairing for tomorrow's race. Following the qualifying session, Turner commented: "When the track is drying and you are on wets you need to cool the tyres down to get the most out of them. I therefore did a slow lap before attempting to record each of my qualifying laps. It worked and I managed to use the dry line to our advantage and leave the car in second place for the start of the race." Meanwhile, the #99 Craft-Bamboo Engineering car of Fernando Rees (BR), Alex Macdowall (GB) and Darryl O'Young (CH), who are participating in their second WEC race this weekend, enjoyed a promising qualifying session. They will start fifth on the grid tomorrow with a four lap average of 2:35.253. Rees, who completed the first set of mandatory laps ahead of MacDowall, said: "We started the session under similar conditions to free practice one but the car felt much better, so we have made great progress. I managed two very good laps before handing over to Alex who did a really solid job. We are looking forward to starting the race." In the GTE Am class, cars #98 and #95 completed the qualifying session in seventh and eighth respectively. John Gaw, Team Principal of Aston Martin Racing comments: "It was tricky conditions in qualifying today and smart choices on tyres by the engineers on the Pro cars helped us to achieve encouraging results in the changeable conditions. "In the Am Vantage GTEs these choices were not available to the teams so we struggled to match our competitors. It's a long race tomorrow and we have had little time to find the balance in the cars in dry conditions so there is work to do for the engineers overnight to decide the best set up for race day." The Six Hours of Spa commences at 14:00 CET on Saturday 3 May, with further information and live timings available at www.fiawec.com.

Some days ago I got a call from our support engineer on duty that MySQL on one of our database servers was lagging more than 1000 seconds behind in replication and the server got kicked out of the pool because of the delay. He was unable to find out why and there was absolutely nothing in the mysql log files. When I got the call it was still lagging behind but the lag was slowly decreasing again.
After a quick peek in all our monitoring systems I isolated it to this message:
Cache Battery 0 in controller 0 is Charging (Ready) [probably harmless]
Apparently not that harmless! 😛
Obviously we did encountered this situation a couple of times before but apparently there was no detection on this machine.
The relearn cycle happens every 90 days and gets first scheduled when the machine gets powered on. Now imagine this happening in a master-master setup where both machines were powered on at the same time. Lucky enough you can use omconfig to reschedule the cycle up to 7 days, but then you obviously need to have detection in place.
Why did nobody come up with the idea to have a dual battery backed up cache with alternating relearn cycles? That way you can have your battery relearn without the controller going back into write-through mode. 😉

Sorry – just had another cup of coffee ("Andy never has a later evening cup of coffee at home") and I wasn't sure where to go with the numerous thoughts floating around in my head. So, I came here.
For the last few weeks, Charles Woodson has thrived marking the opponents' most dangerous offensive weapons. Starting with Witten, then Vernon Davis (until Capers took Woodson off of him), then Calvin Johnson, Woodson not only shut these studs down, but he also managed to make a bunch of other plays that helped the team out at the same time. So, it made me think: would Capers consider having Woodson mark Balt's most dangerous weapon in Ray Rice? Doing something like this would be pretty much unprecedented and the idea may in fact seem downright ridiculous. And, I know there are logistical issues with a CB guarding a RB closely. But the fact is, right now, I'm not sure any assignment given to Woodson could be considered "ridiculous" considering how dominant he's been on defense. I'm not sure there is anything Charles Woodson can't do well. And, the fact is that Ray Rice is not only a great rusher, but he's #9 in receptions in the NFL. We could play a sort of 4-4-3 line-up with Woodson operating almost like a MLB marking Rice and Barnett dropping into coverage a lot (or we could use a 3-4-4 bringing in an extra CB allowing Woodson to cheat up to stay on Rice).
(I suppose the other far less exciting and far too sensible approach would be to have Woodson mark WR Derrick Mason closely to shut down Balt's passing game which would allow us to put 8-9 in the box to stop Rice. That would be OK too, but not as creative and not nearly as cool.)

Famed Branson Play Ending After 54th Season
BRANSON (AP) - A Branson attraction will end a 54-year run this month when "The Shepherd of the Hills" is performed for the last time this month.
The owners of Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre said Wednesday the play's last performance will take place Oct. 19. The outdoor drama was first staged in 1960.
Each production involves more than 80 actors, 40 horses, a flock of sheep and the burning of a cabin. The play is based on Harold Bell Wright's 1907 book about coming to the Ozarks homestead where the drama is set.
The owners cited declining attendance, rising costs and the federal health care overhaul as reasons for the closing. Summer tours of Old Matt's Cabin, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places, will continue to be offered.

Get me outta here! Where to go and what to do with kids<BR>
My family seems to think that I am the head of their Entertainment Committee. Any time my kids are stuck without a suitable social agenda, they slouch into my office, slump in the chair, and sigh deeply. "Mom," they moan, "What are we going to do today?"
Well, I may not know everything about what's happening for kids in Charlottesville at any particular time, but I do know where to find information about it fast. There are two resources to which I invariably run (aside from the Culture section of the Hook and readthehook.com, of course).
AlbemarleKids.com is the area's on-line source for family events, activities, classes, and entertainment happening around town. In addition to family services listings, discussion boards, and even classified ads, the most valuable section to me is the Kids Events and Activities page.
These directories are full of fun stuff to do, with cross-referenced and linked listings for entertainment, recreation, athletics, arts, and academics, summer programs, teen scene, this week, next week, and a special interest section highlighting seasonal favorites like festivals and holiday events. Look for their free quarterly print magazines, too, available in libraries, shops, and kid-friendly entertainment venues all over town.
I also don't know what I'd do without The Family Field Guide to Charlottesville and Beyond: Great Outings with Children. This book, compiled by families at the Free Union Country School, not only lists but describes a gazillion places and things to do in and around town.
Parents– with their children in tow– visited every one of the venues identified, and returned with candid comments about their experiences, services available, hours of operation, fees, and, most importantly, the "schlep factor": How hard is it really to have a good time here?
The book is about $15 available at local bookstores and children's retailers around town or on the web at freeunioncountryschool.org.
Charlottesville is an easy place to raise children, with dozens of outing options to suit families with kids of all ages. And with resources like these, any parent can be an enlightened entertainment guru.

Hummingbird Myths Revealed
Do hummingbirds ride on geese? Find out as we separate hummingbird myths from hummingbird facts.
Attracting hummingbirds is easier when you know how to tell the truth from the fiction. Do hummingbirds ride on geese when they migrate south? Should I add red dye to my hummingbird nectar? Will it cause problems for migrating hummingbirds if I leave my feeder up in the fall? We took a closer look at some common hummingbird myths, and we've got the answers.
Hummingbird Myth: Hummingbirds hitch rides on the backs of geese as they migrate south.
Hummingbird Fact: This legend is entertaining, but untrue. Hummingbirds and Canada geese migrate at different times and to different destinations.
Myth: All hummingbirds migrate.
Fact: Most, but not all, hummingbirds migrate south for winter. The Anna's hummingbird stays along the West Coast year-round.
Myth: Hummingbirds sip nectar through their bills like a straw.
Fact: Hummingbirds use their tongues to lap up nectar and sugar water at about 13 licks per second.
Myth: Adding red dye to sugar water will attract more hummingbirds.
Fact: It isn't necessary to dye sugar water. Feeders with red part do the trick.
Myth: Hummingbirds' only natural predators are other, larger birds.
Fact: Besides other birds like hawks, hummers have to watch out for cats, spiders, snakes and even frogs.
Myth: Leaving hummingbird feeders up late into fall delays migration south.
Fact: You won't interfere with hummingbirds' migration; they know to fly south as the days get shorter.
Myth: Hummingbirds eat only nectar and sugar water.
Fact: Insects and small spiders are also an important part of a hummingbird's diet.
Myth: Hummingbirds feed only from red flowers.
Fact: While red blooms draw them in, these sweet-toothed fliers will gladly feed from any color flower that produces nectar.

Differentiate yourself, aim for a salary increase, and make a difference - apply for a grad school program today using GradSchools.com to guide you!
First, start by making sure your overall goal is achievable by earning your graduate degree. Part of this process is making sure you choose a field of study that suits your personality and your academic or professional goals. Next you can determine if an online or traditional campus experience will fit your needs. Once you have all of that information, pick a few grad schools and request information about the specific program you are interested in.

Search for a Graduate Program:
Getting into a grad school with a low GPA might be easier than you think. There are a fair number of grad schools that accept 2.5 GPA or lower. We've compiled a list just for you of nine schools that have low GPA requirements - and we've also included some of the graduate degrees offered at those schools.

According to a recent Aslanian Market Research report, more than 80% of respondents cited a career change as the #1 reason for continuing education. The reality is, when looking for a new job past experience may not be relevant enough to switch careers without going back to school.
Fortunately, most graduate degree programs do not require an applicant to have majored in the same content area, which makes it easier for someone to pursue a graduate degree in a new field as long as they at least hold a bachelor's degree.
While a profession may not require an advanced degree, it may be helpful to advance or to distinguish yourself from the pack.
Some people may choose to specialize in certain areas of a particular subject such as a Master of Accountancy (MAcc) or a Masters of Taxation (MTax), MS in Strategic Human Resource Management (MSSHRM), an MS or a MHA in Gerontology just to name a few.
While a four-year bachelor's degree used to be enough to reach most career goals, in today's world a graduate degree may set you apart.
Naturally advancing in a career could lead to higher pay, however, the attainment of a graduate degree also has the potential to increase earning potential in certain fields[ii].
For example, in the education field, the degree you have earned could determine your pay scale (in combination with the amount of years one has worked)[iv].
If you are considering going to graduate school for this reason, be very careful to weigh the costs of education (including the loss of earnings if you go to school full time) with your potential salary after graduation.
It is common undertstanding that practice-based doctorates are required for highly regarded and skilled careers such as a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) in order to practice law.
But, it is also true for other professional occupations as well!. It is qutie typical that a teacher can't become an adminitrator without earning a Supervisors Certificate or a MA in Education Leadership.
And it doesn't stop there, the same can be true for Physical Therapists, Counselors, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, and Social Workers.
While the undergrad years are marked by generalist coursework, graduate school typically entails more highly-focused studies and research in a chosen discipline. To this end, many grad school programs encourage students to narrow down their interests through a concentration. This focal area is often used to anchor independent research, internship experience, supervised practice and/or teaching.

Tuesday 5th December at 8:30pm
Attending - Ras, Shannon, Blue, Swithun, Elle, Chakan, Morrissey & Laura
2.Working groups - what are they
3.Mission Statement
4.Gardening Workshops
5.Sewing Workshop
6.Reiki Workshop
8. Any other business
1. Workshops going now for 2 years, different workshops - languages, drama etc. Workshops must produce something - that is the motivation - skills, events, education etc. People who wish to set up groups need to attend meetings. We are in transition - need to get things happening, not just ideas - commitment and action. We offer through different workshops. We should be co-ordinating workshops offering support materials etc. workshops have operated without budget before - so a budget should facilitate more action. Workshops potentially could become working groups - unless they already fit in with a working group. We do not want to proliferate too many working groups - but if demand dictates then this is a possibility, but cross overs must be considered first.
2. More info to follow - to be printed off after meeting. Forest structure has changed from committee to workgroups structure. See board for more information various groups open to everyone who wants to get involved - be prepared to take on responsibilities. Overall work group for Forest for big decisions but other working groups will have smaller budgets to work within. Representatives (Moderators) from working groups will attend Forest working groups and facilitate meetings. Forest is applying for charity status (culture, arts etc.).
3. Mission Statement important to give an overview of what we do and will outline how we plan to operate. To guide us and give others an idea of how we are doing.
Provide resources, spaces for people who wish to provide inclusive and diverse workshops. Forest workshops here to help people realise their potential, to co-ordinate relevant free workshops. Inclusive or perhaps open to all and open, to encourage a culture of participation, support, education, development and action.
Action - to be debated on bb thread, some discussion may be required.
Swithun has spokent to Ras who wants an environmental workshop going. Basic start being filling a paper cup with mud and grow seeds progressing to Greenhouse & windowsill gardening, looking at the forest garden, allotment gardening, cutting workshops, garden fertilisers. Lots of ideas.
Action - Blue to write something up and present to environmental and workshop group for support and progression.
Liz wants to start a sewing and crocheting workshop. Swithun suggested Bits & Bobs for materials. Idea from Shannon - to sew slip covers for the Forest Cafe's seats. Liz needs to think about this and report to the group - we are all supportive. Shannon to talk to Liz on Friday.
Simon wants to do them - Blue and Simon to work together.
Action - Blue & Simon to consider and report back.
Workshops should be marketed separately from events calendar. Email groups, printed material in community areas (centres etc.). Blackboard in cafe for workshops and one for events. Current one is being underutilised.
Action for Elle & Blue to keep this updated and interesting. - speak to Chris about putting board up on wall.
Good idea to have poster, flyer etc. but this is in its infancy and hesitant to proceed with this at this moment in time.
Current workshops, Forest Choir, Drama, Yoga, Bits & Bobs (associated and one off).
Action - Chakan to spread the word. Potentially Indymedia, local papers etc. Chakan & Elle should speak to those who run workshops before promoting them to ensure proper information and how they want to be promoted. Elle should liaise with John, Ras & Chandra who are the workshop contacts (internal proliferation) then speak to Chakan for outward proliferation.
Blue suggested Healer and clown workshop with Simon and a workshop to turn mortals in to immortals - to be developed tantri, chinese philosopies, breathing, urban tao workshops. Blue to consider this in greater depth and report back. Chakan suggested a Theology workshop.
Actions - Blue and Simon to consider his workshops ideas and report back. Chakan to speak to people who may potentially be interested in providing a Theology workshop.
Swithun spoke about Infoseed workshops, Chakan spoke about Gudrun's creative writing workshops. These are not actually Forest workshops, but if they wish to open them up and make them so they should speak to us.
Action - Swithun and Chakan to approach appropriate parties and ask if they want to become official Forest workshops.

I've owned several mid-level point and shoot cameras over the past few years and to my recollection none of them had an LCD that was useful for shooting outdoors in bright daylight.
With that in mind I'm always careful to buy only cameras that have an optical viewfinder in addition to the LCD.
In the sales literature, most modern p&s cameras claim to have bright LCDs suitable for bright daylight shooting. But mine aren't. In choosing a camera is there some specification that would tell which LCDs would be better outdoors? Do the recent DSLRs have better LCDs than lesser cameras? Are some brands' LCDs better than others?
I'd like to see camera settings and compose the shot using the LCD, but maybe that's still a few years in the future.

When I was in college I often fantasized about getting it on somewhere on campus. (These sexual daydreams always included the basement library book stacks because I am a huge freakin' nerd. Also I like the musty smell of old books. See? NERD!)
Sadly, I never got to carry out this vision—though, some day, perhaps, I shall march through the gates of my alma mater, get down there and get busy. In any case, I was reminded of this wayward fantasy of mine today when I read about kickass Syracuse senior Iona Holloway, who took an informal anonymous poll of her fellow students about their fave places to do the deed on campus, which she then published in the school paper.
First on the list was the top floor of the library (sounds amazing), followed by a frat house basement (sounds sticky),, and some other choice locales like the campus bell tower, the chapel, and a professor's office. Um, hello, you kinky college students, you!
Clearly, this inspired us to ask you: Have you ever had sex on campus? Would you?

Oh it's on! Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been confirmed to be in the next installment of the Batman saga currently titled "The Dark Knight Rises". Which character he will play has yet to be released but if I know my Batman trivia, which I think I do, I assume he'll be playing the role of King Tut. Google it, trust me it's funny.
Jodi Foster will step behind the camera for a new sci-fi flick that she's developing. No real details on the movie but apparently it'll have a nice warm family feel to it. So maybe something like "ET 2". The world demands it!
"The Seventh Son" has added Julianne Moore to its cast list which already includes Jeff Bridges. Moore will play the most bad ass of all witches who uses blood magic, whatever the hell that is. This is funny because I've always assumed Julianne Moore was a witch in real life because she looks exactly the same as she did 20 years ago. In days of old she would have been burned at the stake for being in her 50's and still being pretty hot.
Everyone and their mother has joined the cast of "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D" including Derek Mears who you might remember as Jason from the "Friday the 13th" remake. Fans of the "MacGruber" movie may also recognize him as "Large Henchman" which I believe got him an Oscar nomination.
I don't want to get your hopes up but I think Heath Ledger may be alive. Or at least it looks like he may make an appearance in the next Batman film via unreleased footage from the last movie. But let's go with Zombie Ledger, it sounds cooler. What, too soon?
All the world has Monica Keena fever right now. I mean did you see "Night of the Demons"? Action! And now she's been cast as a cult member in "Manson Girls" along with Laura Harring, Patti D'Arbanville, Estella Warren and Stella Maeve. Who's excited now? I don't even know what it's like to not be sarcastic anymore. Please help me.
Why the hell are people still talking to Joss Whedon about the freakin' "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" remake? I don't know folks but apparently now he is saying that he was offered to be a part of the film and passed. I can't wait to see what comes out next week so I can put it in the news and complain about it.
Here's the cast and a promo video for the new Syfy series "Being Human" which is the first thing I've seen on that channel that didn't feature a giant something or other. Unless you count Sam Huntington's forehead. I mean am I right? Anyway the show is about a ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf all living together and trying to cope. With sexy results!
We try to control our collective nerdgasms over "The Dark Knight", and frankly we didn't do so well.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' comes to LI
Drag may not be new in mainstream entertainment -- witness everything from Bugs Bunny in women's clothes to "Some Like It Hot" and "Bosom Buddies" -- but generally it's been played for laughs. Now performer RuPaul and brethren, with the Logo reality-competition "RuPaul's Drag Race," are mainstreaming its musical-variety artistry.
And while cosmopolitan places have long had showcases for drag acts, there's probably never been a tour like "RuPaul's Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons," which stops at the Paramount in Huntington Sept. 7 with the likes of Sharon Needles, Jinkx Monsoon and Phi Phi O'Hara. "Drag Race" judge and veteran radio personality Michelle Visage, who hosts, talked about the show.
So one of your jobs on the tour is "drag mother." What does that entail?
It's making sure all the "girls" are in the right place at the right time, but there's so much more than that. Ninety percent of these drag queens that I'm responsible for on tour are kids -- they're all, like, in their 20s! So this is new to a lot of them. And I'm there to say, "Look, this is what we have to do, we have to be professional." I'm here to represent my best friend [RuPaul], and I'll be damned if I let anybody ruin the name.
It's also good for them to see a strong work ethic. A lot of these kids grew up going to nightclubs, as did I, and they're used to performing at 2 in the morning and not used to being present during the day.
Is this a full-time gig for the performers, or do they have day jobs?
Most of the girls are able, thanks to the success of show, to have quit their day jobs. Ongina from season 1 doesn't perform that much anymore because she's got a big job with Intermix and chose to move forward with that career. Others, performing is all they do.

You've called RuPaul your soul mate, yet you've been married 16 years to your writer husband, with whom you have two daughters. Can one have two soul mates?
Yeah, but it's different. My husband's like my friend who I can't imagine life without. But my husband's brain doesn't work the same way RuPaul's does. I'm not sure my husband gets me the way RuPaul does.

It is difficult for families to talk about death and dying, but by proactively resolving complicated end-of-life issues it's possible to stave off future financial worries and stress. NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman reports.
As our elderly relatives age, families grapple with all kinds of issues from end-of-life care to funeral costs.
On Wednesday "NBC Nightly News" hosted an online chat with the Rev. Dale Susan Edmonds, a hospice chaplain and founder of the caregiving website Talk Early Talk Often.
Do you have questions about how to care for your aging loved ones? Do you have a caregiving plan in place? If you're wondering how to assess the needs of your elderly relatives, Edmonds offered tips below based on her experience working with the families of senior citizens.
To review a transcript of the chat, please click on the box below.
Please note, this chat was moderated. We answered as many questions as possible during the half-hour time frame.
For more on caregiving, please visit the AARP resource page, and learn more tonight during Part 2 of Nightly News' caregiving series. You can watch Part 1 here.
The Field family explains their approach to end-of-life conversations, and how they made difficult decisions about the future.
Geriatric care manager Debbie Reinberg explains why children should have end-of-life talks with their parents and put their wishes in writing sooner rather than later.

David Amess MP, Chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group to the Maldives, has issued the following statement on behalf of the group.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of the coup d'état inthe Maldives resulting in the removal of President Nasheed. When he took office in November 2008, it was as the first democratically elected President of the Maldives ever. He faced enormous challenges in underpinning democratic rule in the Maldives. There can be little doubt that, during his time in office, he worked tirelessly to improve the living conditions and general welfare of the Maldivian people.
It is tragic that, 20 months before the next Presidential elections were due; he has been forced from office under duress. During his time as President he had done all he possibly could to promote the Maldives throughout the international community and without any doubt "stole the show" at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
There is now concern for his safety and that of his family. I very much hope that the British Government will do all in its power to ensure that he is not harmed in any way.
Statement by Hon. David Amess, Chair of All Party Parliamentary Group
50 Comments
Thank you MP David Amess. Please, please, I, as a Maldivian beg you to free our nation from this torture that we are going through now. Ever since President Nasheed was forced to resign, Maldives had become a nightmare to all of us, except for a few who are close to the Dictator Qayyoom. On behalf of the general population of Maldives, I beg you to assist us!↓
You don't have any idea how much he harm our country..he arrested my son for four month without any dame reason..finally our court release him cause he arrested him for no reason..how many more you want see.how much he wasted our money..↓
You liar., you are also one of them from the Maumoon Dictatorship. Even you don't have children.
you go fuck your anni ahmed ! tok abt what you know ! anni is a bad leader and the majority of the Maldivians accept it ! only a few stupid ppl like you are trying to destroy this country !
I don't suppose the UN would be willing to do anything about it though?
It's getting really bad on the streets 🙁↓
Dear. Mr. David Amess,
please find out what happened for him, why he have to resign, what you want to do for him, we have law we will go according of the law that he him self said that is the prefect constitution ,
thank you↓
he is not very safe in here and this peaceful place is not very peaceful anymore after mohamed nasheed step down from government..↓
The current issue written on this article is not true. So will you please get true stories from Maldives. You know our former president Mohamed Nasheed has given unlawful commands while he was ruling the country. In addition according to his order senior judge Abdhullah Mohamed arrested and taken to jail for 3 weeks. Maldives National Defense Force who were leading near to Mohamed Nasheed says that MNDF never forced Mohamed Nasheed to resign and he resigned his own consent with no doubt. After that now he is trying to face the security forces and the citizen in a very violent way likewise with using knives, wooden cut pieces..etc. So it is better to every one if every one seems equal to one and another.↓
first we need to get rid of the puppetry (maldives poilice and army) by the gayooms. these inhumane, barbarians are charging and attacking any mpd person as well as the president while walking on the streets. where is the respect and love for your own people let alone own kind. President Nasheed was our president yesterday, the police cant go on harassing him on the roads today. the idea was to bring a military control over the country and then take it back from the puppets and in to the hands of the people behind it. this is not acceptable at all, we have elections coming next year. this is not how you show your disapproval. we had thousands of unlawful things happening in the 30 years of gayoom, (if you insist president nasheed acted unlawfully) but never saw this kind of violence. mdp members are in the hospital, bleeding, they have been threatened for their lives by the police. if this is the role of the police, we dont want police here in maldives.we can take care of our selves better.
are they peacefully walking on the streets ? i dont think so, they started this ! i dont think if they walked nicely police and MNDF would have stopped them ! why do you guys lie marn ? such an unbelievable story 😛 hahah go check the videos out ! you ppl take only the videos of police kicking ur ass ! but we have videos of you ppl starting this !
i am not an mdp menber, but i was marching with them, it was a peacewalk untill police charged on us without any warnings, any womens were badly injurd.
that judge abdullah mohammed is a paedophile….i think u are also a member of the paedophile ring tooo…he deserves to be in jail…he should rot there….hes a bribe accepting corrupt person
The powers are divided into three , the judiciary, the parliament and the president , He bribed parliament members and gained majority ,only later it is that he would imprison the judge abdullah in order to seize the judiciary and obtain totalitarian control .It was also wierd that under his rule, violent criminals attack non violent protesters from the opposition . and many prisoners were released before his resignment .Mohamed nasheed also during his first year nationalised the most famous maldivian media that could reach all parts of the country TVM(MNBC ,during his rule ) and allowed to show only MDP approved broadcasts. I should also note that he was elected as the first democratic president with support from other parties which gained a 13% and a 15% and some more while he got only 25% , he promised that his goverment would be run by all who supported him but eventually eliminated them one by one ,days before his retirement he was talking about having plans to delay the next presidential election until he decides the judiciary. He was going for dictatorship under the hood of democracy . Its a shame he spread false news to the international community. Im sorry to say im ashamed of our former president he resigns for the sake of citizens and promotes bloodshed the next day !!! the opposing parties are now allied . the general population is against nasheed↓
ur wrong, there are thousands of ppls with him, so better not to talk bullshit…
This guy Ali is a deaf,dumb and blind guy, with the romance for the former dictator Qayoom, " Abdhulla Mohamed " the guy he was talking about is a one member of the mob of Qayyoom. they hijacked the Maldivian Judiciary , these judges swear themselves to be the judges of the courts on their own accord , since when the law never exist to them to elect for judges .. and the most funniest thing is these mob lost their 22 days sleep for this Abdhulla Mohamed, to free him , they never have any concern for the Maldivian president who won the people's election by 48 percent votes of Maldivian population, these corrupted judges who has the blood of the may innocent people , with the civilization of the former dictator and his gayyoomism has sent us to 30 years backward with this ruthless Police brought coup .. please help us↓
Save us, help us to get justice in maldives.
Ex-president Maumoon who ruled the country for 30 yrs influence are still seeded inside everywhere in maldives, even the military n police are corrupated, beating everyday the innocent people and killing them now. There are doing really very bad to people. MDP n Mohameed Nasheed govt. whenever tries to save us from the old regime, sumthing goes wrong. We need help from all other countries soon as possible to save us n the future. Thank You↓
please send your forces here. or some other international peace making missions. until then, i dont think any justice will be served here and they will keep on brutally beating and torturing the people have arrested in 100s today from the MDP rally who are at the moment inside the walls of maldives national defence force and they brutally beat our chairperson and they stopped him at the airport from flying abroad though he was bleeding. and we are equally bothered about the safety of the poor members inside their walls. cannot even assume the extend of torture they will inflict upon them. please please dont delay it.
nasheed is back on the streets again to shed blood …. he must take responsibility for all the 'action' on the streets today and its casualties… he was leading and charging or string his followers to attack the law enforcing officers ( police). If you want to help Maldives from this political unrest, please take away your beloved puppet to the UK. the country will be all quiet again .↓
We support nasheed. Please do something to protect us. Only few Maldivian pop nasheed.
Please save us…↓
Unbeleivable! Is this the only trajedy u cud think of before issuing a statement? No doubt he worked tirelessly, but only to promote the interests of his party activists and close friends. He has harmed my country in ways never thought possible before. He has undermined our constitution, the rule of law as well as our sovereignty itself. He has sold the future of our nation to earn allegiences and monetary benefit to his cronies. He kept justifying it all citing ex-president Maumoon's actions, saying he did it too. Is this why we brought him to power? I think not. In truth he is a worse dictator than Maumoon ever hoped to be. It is appalling that you, Mr.MP, could sit silent when democracy was being raped by your so-called champion of democracy and when his so called 'out of chart' orders were not obeyed leading to his resignation you rush to support this dictator. Shame on you and your double standards!↓
We can very well see from the video who is shedding blood on the streets… it's the paid Police and MNDf doing it. Our blood money stolen from us by the dictator Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom and his family during his presidency is now used to kill our brothers and sisters. We cannot call them our Police or our national force, they are con man of Gayyoom.
Please save our nation.↓
Mohameed Nasheedh is damn liar…he was in front of local and international media when he resign, why dont he mention he was forced to resign at that time……he was drunk when he resign…which is againts law in maldives…he should be punished ….he called Maumoon to not to get involved in politics after maumoon left office…get respect nasheedh↓
the police and MNDF are beating and killing innocent men and women…save us from these animals…↓
Dr.waheed has no right to be our leader. He is the one responsible for all these protest. We are beaten by the police, they throw pepper spray and tear gas into the peaceful crowd without any warning. Policemen are being bribed. We urg you to help us. Bring peace to our country. I haven't seen such a cruel day in my life. Please help us.↓
I second you
Mr. Nasheed acted outside of the constitution in arresting a criminal court judge. For over 20 days he and his party officials went on joking on the matter that the judge would never see the light of day in court ever again. I believe it is the right of any president to think of himself the president of the country and not just his party. Sadly Mr. Nasheed as usual undermined the opposition against him. I am not for once saying the circumstance was right or wrong for him to step down. But for close to three weeks he had the chance to calm down the opposition protesters. He had the chance to think through. But he didn't.
He was never ousted in a coup. He had no choice but to step down. If he had been over thrown in a coup he would've never been able to go home and come back the next day provoking unrest. While stepping down he said its for the best of the people. And what do we see the next day? The whole country is in chaos, people, property being destroyed. And for what? Mr. Nasheed's wish to keep Maldivians safe and calm.
The media abroad would most certainly hear the level of violence that is being made by Mr. Nasheed's loyals. But let me tell this. Most of Nasheed's loyals are thugs and criminals who have been doing this the past several years. When thugs hit the streets the effect is much severe and can be seen.
Nasheed has close to 40,000 loyals. But everyone else is much more educated not to create violence and havoc throughout the country. Trust me. Nasheed has support. But the opposition has a much higher of a number to win a ballot. They are just too educated and well behaved.
The current government should do everything within constitutional powers to stop down these riots. And they have the right to stop all riots and violence.
I feel sad how pathetic a few Maldivians are. Thinking that destroying the country up is fun and patriotic to Nasheed.
If it was me, I would now sell this country to the Americans or British. I hate what Nasheed has brought to this country. Hatred, bloodshed amongst families, friends and more. 20 nights of opposition protests ended in minimal destructions while 1 night of Nasheed's supporters brought a million times more.
I hate Maldivians for being so narrow minded.↓
Mr. Hamdhaan, can you please give us the history of the verdicts this "Chief Judge of the Criminal Court" has been distributing like hot cakes for the supporters of the old regime of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom and like wise give us the verdicts he has given for the President Nasheed and compare and see, you might find a very clear bias trend in favor of Gayoom and his Evil supporters.
and you want the President Nasheed to give a blind eye and let it happen when 6,000,000,000,000.00 Rupees, my dear friend six billion of our monies he has been sitting on in his court, just because those monies are due from the President Nasheed's Opposition.
He is the judge of criminal court. He has the right to pass rulings in whatever way he pleases. The constitution gives him the power to do so. As long as he stays within the constitution then it's alright.
Whether he acted in the interest of the former president or not doesn't matter to me. Mr. Nasheed should have done whatever he did within the boundaries of the constitution. Not outside. Its would be a very dark time to our nation if no one respected the constitution. And Nasheed being the leader of this country could have done it in so many other ways. But stubborn as he is he failed to do so.
So in short – the judge acted within the power he had been given through the constitution. Mr. Nasheed, not so much.
I think almost three weeks is too much of a time for someone to realise he had made a mistake. Rather he preferred to mock.
Oh look who wrote this Mark Lynas, the puppy of anni. bitch no uk forces are coming to maldives, and stop spreading false information you pig headed cunt.↓
Dear Honourable Mr. David Amess,
Please go through this
May be you will understand a bit more..
Yours Sincerly
A legitimate government brought down in an illegitimate way. Our President Mohamed Nasheed Tells us to Be merciful an forgiving during the times of victory as well as to be patient and strong during dark times. I am with him, so are thousands of others because he did stand up for what is right.↓
How could you refer to Nasheed's regime as constitutional. Did you not see the unconstitutional incidents that led to his downfall. Ok, here are a few to refresh your memory:
* Held a judge captive without giving a reason (for 22 days).
* Defied court rules to free the judge.
* Openly mocked the courts
* Possessed and consumed alcohol.
Our President Mohamed Nasheed is taken away from Presidency at gun point. he was forced to resign. Even the police, military and other parties were a part of it.Now they are attacking the local Maldivians. We are in great dangers. In need of help.↓
Really? Then how come he ordered rubber bullets to be used against the police and public. MNDF actually followed that order, but even then the people did not give in.
Then he ordered MNDF to use live bullets against the people and police, which MNDF refused to follow. He even screamed and yelled. Yet, they refused. And he asked MNDF whether he should resign. They answered "Yes Sir". That was why he had no choice. No guns were involved. Please check the facts even if you support him.
Please sir, save our nation from these tyrants. Therez blood everywhere. Women are beaten by the police & national defense forces. They all hv been bribed by Tyrants like Qayyoom, Yameen & Gasim. The police are openly beating up random people who are innocent. We beg of u to save us from these power hungering monsters. God knows wat happened yesterday. Many were injured, rumor spreads that few killed. Even MDP senior leaders have been brutally beaten up. We little poor people beg u, pls help us from this police violence. Thank you Sir.↓
stay out of this British cunts…↓
no no ! dont come along here ! Nasheed should have stayed at home. while during the last speech he said that he is resighning to bring peace back to the country ! now what do you think he is doing ? he came back again with the whole MDP and trying to fight back ? is this the way how he bring back peace ? we dont need any british or us forces to protect him or any of his supporters ! they are creating a big scene here on the streets !↓
If Dr. Judas Hassan Mark Waheed Anthony Maniku, thinks we the lovers of free and fair election is just going to give this so called president a walk in the park he is sadly very mistaken.
Those who opposed his rule had benefitted from the 30 year old regime. Some of the resort owners , tycoons enjoyed a tax free life but with the taxes in place and the common man getting direct benefits like health insrurance and basic need without seeking help from the super rich made them feel uncomfortable. They knew that he can never be beaten in an election so they paid off the armed forces & police handsomely and got this done….I challenge those who write against Nasheed govt , go for a public referendum or fresh elections …you will be beaten in style..↓
Afraid not my friend. Afraid not. If you think that having close to 50K of people is enough to win an election then you're wrong. The effect you're seeing on the street as your support is when thugs are out on the streets. Please take note that there are quiet, well behaved, educated people in Maldives watching the situation just as closely. And these numbers would dwarf the numbers of MDP loyals. We just don't want to create havoc.
And may I ask 'winning in style' is how so? As I recall from the first election held MDP had 27% of the popular vote. It was when you made a coalition you went and won, thats also by 54-48 (you dont have the coalition anymore) Then came the parliamentary elections. DRP coalition won that too. Although now some MP's had moved away to MDP. Then came the counsils. Check how that went for numbers. You might argue that Male and big cities had been won. But I recall just 10,000 people from Male' even voted for that.
Hows that for style?
Dear Ahmed, I dont know brother. You might be right, I might be right. Who knows? All I am saying is violence and rioting is never the answer. And Nasheed promotes this. All these years. His character says it all.
And seriously, I am fucking sure that not even 1 in 100 Maldivians even know what fucking democracy is.
Is the International community going to stay firm on their butt and say "we are watching the situation closely" and do nothing when they know exactly who this "Criminal Court Chief Judge Abdulla Mohamed" is, who don't have a basic educational certificate to burn down a new born democracy, who has been bought and paid by the Traitor Maumoon Abdul Gayoom and his clown..
Have you not learned enough lessons, not to buy the rhetoric's of old rulers in the middle east and help us this little country get back to democracy and away from Taliban and Al Quida.
Dear Western countries, India and friends of Maldives please don't let this infant democracy destroy it self because few businessmen have bought the country's Army and the Police.
Aren't we all still suffering because we let Usama Bin Laden buy Afghanistan and cause so much terror around the world.
Do you want our Current president Mr.Hassan, Gayoom, Yamin, Gasim to just purchase our country and drive us to stone ages.
OH world please help us get rid of this menace.↓
During the time when the people asked Mr.Nasheed to step down, it was just Protesting. The protestors did not go into the crowds attacking innocent people. Mr. Nasheed said on his resigning statement that he is resigning to avoid bloodshed. But who is the hypocrite now? Who is out on the streets asking for his followers to follow him to start a National Terror?
Protesting is understandable, but Vandalizing homes, shops and attacking police officers directly, burning down police offices and courts is in no way acceptable even though he is our former President.
I do condemn the acts of Police Officers hitting the people, but their hands are forced to, as the people are attacking them even with Tear Gas, Pepper Spray, etc. Do they just stand there and watch while the protestors burn down the whole country? But sure, they could have handled it better.
Respect what Nasheed has done for our country. But when things go against his word, the trust anyone had left for him is gone.
And I am not a fan of Gayyoom or any political party either.↓
Its good to know that the international community supports Nasheed! That surely will help us in our battle against dictatorship of Gayyoom and his people! President Nasheed is a true hero and the best leader a country can ever get. We are with you Naseed! 🙂↓
Why should the international community support him? He is THE man who corrupted our parliament. When his party did not get the majority in the parliament, he BOUGHT members for him party.
He, with his party, prevented judges passing sentence on party MP pedophiles.
The police beat the people for 20 days, on his order and his Home Minister's orders. But you never said anything.
He told the general public that the courts are unconstitutional, and so, should not follow court orders.
He ordered the PG not to take certain cases to court, threatening a no-confidence vote against him.
He mocked Anti-Corruption Commission, and defied the ACC.
And many more…
You are totally wrong, he is wearing a democracy but he is an autocratic leader. we don't want him, so we throw him out. and we wont let him come back.↓
I swear to Allah that if Anni provokes any unrest in this country again, ill kill him myself.↓
Muaz you failed in your first statement, you are saying " We " to prove something you yourself want , that means what you yourself believe is the only Idea everybody has to believe like all dictators , UK is a smart country with smart people , one selfish guy who say :" We don't need " cannot prove the majority of an election " you will see what mark lyna can do and what he can't do in future . Just watch and learn to respect↓
dr waheedh is a puppet.↓
former president Nasheed, resigned himself. as the speech given by him infront of the media, he was not at a gun point. the police officers were demanding not to give unlawful orders, and they keep demanding .. but nasheedh didnt hear them nor no body (commissioner, or deputy commissioner) wasnt able to say so. so it was not a coup.↓

Novus Global Swine Nutrition Roundtable Forges Future for Swine
Swine Industry Professionals Join Forces with Novus to Reveal Challenges and Next Steps in the Industry
ST. LOUIS (April 18, 2017) – Novus International, Inc. released a list of key challenges and opportunities for the swine industry developed at the Novus Global Swine Nutrition Roundtable in February. These issues will help inform several aspects of Novus's offerings from technical services to the research and development of new and existing products. At the heart of the findings are the opportunities for chelated trace minerals and epigenetics to address obstacles to piglet development and sow retention.
"The higher goal of our research efforts is to create solutions for swine producers around the world," said Dr. Mercedes Vázquez-Añón, Senior Director of Animal Nutrition Research and Facilities at Novus. "There is great potential to develop solutions for these issues that could significantly impact producers' profitability for years to come."
Over three days, 12 select swine consultants, nutritionists, academics and researchers in animal nutrition presented on various topics in early piglet development and sow nutrition at Novus's St. Charles, Missouri, USA headquarters. The attendees brought a truly global perspective to the detailed discussions of each topic presented with participants representing almost every continent from South America to Australia.
Many of the thoughts and ideas discussed during the meeting have already materialized into new research avenues and trials. Dr. Vázquez-Añón's team plans to continue working to fully understand the underlying biological mechanism that explains the benefits of MINTREX® chelated trace minerals observed in the field. During the roundtable discussions, sow nutrition with new genetic lines was identified as an important factor in the development and productivity of the progeny. Novus has committed to bring science to the understanding of the role of trace minerals in sow nutrition and the epigenetics involved in the development of the piglet. A new study has already been approved to begin in North America for 2017 focusing on these areas.
Novus identified four main challenges and three opportunities in the swine industry for trace mineral and epigenetics potential solutions going forward.

With the growth of financial planning and the CFP certification over the past decade, just doing comprehensive financial planning is not the differentiator it once was. As technology commoditized first investment transactions, and now increasingly the basic elements of diversified portfolio construction, advisors are forced in the direction of providing more holistic financial advice to add value to the relationship. While this is ultimately a plus for consumers, it also means that providing financial planning services to consumers is a much more crowded, competitive space than it was just a few years ago.
In response to a more challenging environment, many advisors have doubled down on their efforts to be generalists, seeking to cast a wider marketing net in the hopes of attracting more prospects to become clients. Unfortunately, it's not clear whether such efforts really result in more clients, or simply more marketing work for the same, or even inferior, results. After all, it only takes a few advisors becoming specialists to attract away key potential new clients, to the point where each specialist may only be able to grow within his/her niche while the generalists can't grow at all. The end result is that the advisor sees even more prospective clients but gets fewer actual clients.
Accordingly, the real key to turning around the trap of the wider marketing net is to recognize that for a business that is already undifferentiated and struggling to grow, casting an ever-wider net will not result in more clients and business. Instead, the key to differentiation is to turn around 180 degrees, and become more focused and specialized, to truly become the best-in-class for a particular type of clientele that can be served effectively and profitably. While that might result in fewer prospects, real differentiation ultimately results in more actual clients, allowing advisors to grow their businesses smarter, instead of just working harder.
Plight of the Typical Advisory Firm
There was a point in time, not so many years ago, where being a comprehensive financial planner was a differentiator. In 2004, there were an estimated 340,000 people calling themselves a "financial advisor" according to Cerulli, but a mere 45,000, 13%, were actually CFP certificants.
Ten years later the landscape has shifted. The number of advisors has dipped down close to 300,000, and the number of CFP certificants is pushing 70,000, which means the percentage of advisors who are CFP certificants has nearly doubled over just a decade from to almost 23%. Arguably, the number of people who hold themselves out as comprehensive financial advisors and wealth managers is even greater, given the growth of the CPA/PFS designation, the emergence of new programs like the CPWA and the ongoing proliferation of other certification and designation programs (despite their varying degrees of quality).
Coupled with these trends is the challenging reality that many of the services for which financial advisors were once handsomely compensated are now being brutally commoditized by technology. It was "only" 20 years ago that most consumers had to actually wait for the newspaper to find out the price of a stock from the prior day, and call a stockbroker just to get a trade executed. Constructing a well-diversified portfolio was an even more complex affair. Yet the rise of online brokerage services and the expansion of the Internet had already driven the cost of executing stock trades down by ~90% 10 years ago, pushing advisors in the direction of constructing diversified portfolios instead. Yet now that service, too, is becoming commoditized, from the rise of sophisticated portfolio analysis and trading tools available directly to investors, to retail branches of online brokerage firms offering portfolio construction advice to a new breed of online "robo-advisors" like Betterment and Wealthfront that can craft, implement, and monitor a high-quality passive strategic portfolio for a mere 0.25% or less.
While this doesn't mean the robo-advisors will eliminate the human advisors or that giving financial advice is being totally commoditized (in fact, financial planning is the anti-commoditizer right now!), it does mean that financial planners are facing a crisis of differentiation unlike anything seen before.
The Trap of the Wider Net
For advisors struggling with slow client growth, there is a natural temptation to try to overcome the challenge by casting a wider net for new clients. The rationale is fairly straightforward: if my current marketing approach isn't netting many/any clients, it must be because the net is not being cast widely enough. Open up the available services to a wider range of prospective clients, the logic goes, and there will be more potential people to work with. Accordingly, advisors back away from their asset minimums, get more flexible on their fees, and increasingly offer to work with and be an expert for "anyone" who's willing to pay.
Paradoxically, casting a wider net for potential clients can actually reduce the effectiveness of the firm's marketing. By doing more of everything-for-everyone, the firm becomes less differentiated, less unique and therefore less appealing to anyone in particular. The end result: by casting the net wider, the number of potential clients may be greater, but the number of prospects who actually become clients is often fewer.
In other words, the process of widening the net may result in more prospects but no more actual clients. Iin fact, it may even be fewer clients! For instance, instead of closing 30% of the next 15 clients, firms cast a wider net and close 10% of the next 30 clients, bringing in fewer clients (three instead of five) despite working twice as hard in prospecting (30 prospect meetings instead of 15). Sadly, the conclusion of many advisors at this point: well, if there were only three new prospects, that must mean it's time to cast the net even wider, and try to get 40 or 50 prospective meetings. Never mind that as the paradox of the wider net plays out, 50 prospect meetings may drop their closing ratio to 5%, reducing their new client flow to only two, despite the fact they've now tripled(!) their prospect meetings.
The end result: casting a wider net causes the firm to work harder and harder meeting more and more prospective clients, yet not necessarily bring on any more actual new clients.
In the second part of this series of blogs—If You're a Generalist, Advisor, Your Days Are Numbered—I'll explore the path out of the wider net trap.

One of my co-workers has a Tojiro DP gyuto which he doesn't treat all that well and every so often I sharpen it for him. Because it's been a while and the edge is totally manged, I thought to myself maybe I should try and thin it a little to basically get rid of the old busted up edge and start afresh. However, when I took it to my 1200 Bester, all the bits behind the edge where I try to thin, it seems like the grit from the stone is almost stuck in the soft cladding and it looks really terrible. Anyone any ideas how to fix this? I tried to polish the scratches out and it still looked sorta crap. Should I just keep going and eventually the cladding will get worn away?

On Know Nothings and Secret Societies – 5
Historian James McPherson points out that the membership in the Know Nothings was "drawn primarily from young men in white-collar and skilled blue-collar occupations. A good many of them were new voters. One analysis showed that men in their twenties were twice as likely to vote Know Nothing as men over thirty." (1)
Their leaders were also "new men" in politics who reflected the social backgrounds of their constituency. In Pittsburg, more than half of the Know-Nothing leaders were under thirty-five and nearly half were artisans and clerks. Know Nothings elected to the Massachusetts legislature in 1854 consisted mainly of skilled workers, rural clergymen, and clerks in various enterprises. Maryland's leaders were younger and less affluent than their Democratic counterparts." (1)

Missouri Hockey Team Feeling the St. Louis Blues
WENTZVILLE - The Missouri Club Hockey team felt the blues in their Sunday practice on October, 21st. Only difference is, the so-called "blues" was a good thing.
Due to the NHL lock-out three of the St. Louis Blues coaches, including head coach Ken Hitchcock, took over the Tiger's practice.
"We are going to put a few drills in here that we want to see how they work with our guys so we are using these guys as ginny pigs", said Coach Hitchcock.
Although the players had a lot of fun with the practice they also felt what it was like practicing like a professional athlete.
" Guys are hunched over a little bit more... it's good, it's a lot faster pace then what we have been used to but it's good to speed it up a little bit" said Senior center Alex Roth.
Hitchcock viewed the practice as help for his coaching staff during the lockout because he said, " We need to be ready to go at any time... It's frustrating for the fans and for the coaches but it is what it is."
"These guys must be pretty bored because they are here coaching us," joked Junior left wing Danny Walsh.
For one night the players were able to live a dream even if it included being yelled at by a NHL coach. At least it is like the pro's.

text: Movie – Hemingway and Gellhorn is HBO's prestige movie featuring the tempestuous relationship between the two great writers Ernest Hemingway and Martha ("Marty") Gellhorn. Hemingway wrote 25 books and won the Nobel Prize, as well as a Pulitzer Prize. Marty Gellhorn is known as America's greatest war correspondent, male or female. The movie is really about her and her amazing career. She liked to say "I do not see myself as a footnote to someone else's life." In the late 1930s, she met Hemingway and the two of them traveled to Spain to cover the Spanish Civil War, and the movie uses black and while film to depict war scenes from that time. She and Hemingway lived together for four years (they were married in 1940; she was Ernest's 3rd wife). Nicole Kidman is absolutely brilliant as Martha Gellhorn, but to me Clive Owen was not very convincing as Hemingway. The movie features a lot of sex, drinking and violence, but does not delve very deeply into the writing. However, Hemingway's most famous book, For Whom the Bell Tolls, was inspired by Gellhorn. Hemingway and Gellhorn is set against a backdrop of the Spanish Civil War, and homes in Key West, Florida, the Finca Vigia in Cuba, and Ketchum, Idaho.
