Drayage Steering Committee's Joint Action Plan – Technical Clarifications
On March 26, 2014, the provincial government and truckers agreed to a plan to change the trucking industry and improve working conditions. Port Metro Vancouver has made significant headway in addressing the action items that fall within our jurisdiction.
Container trucking on Canada's West Coast is expected to double over the next 10 to 15 years. We are making significant investments to maximize efficiency and increase capacity. While interprovincial trucking falls under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Port Metro Vancouver actively works with the province, terminals and to support success in the Gateway.
In 2014 we have doubled our efforts, accelerating existing programs and launching new initiatives to help bring greater stability and sustainable growth to the container trucking sector.
On February 21, 2013, Port Metro Vancouver announced the Smart Fleet trucking strategy, the three year action plan to achieve excellence in the local container trucking sector. Smart Fleet is a plan that is guiding the work with industry and government to drive performance, accountability and sustainability within container trucking.
Through work with industry partners to improve efficiency and reliability, Smart Fleet builds on several initiatives already underway: including GPS monitoring, Truck Licensing System reform and environmental programs to reduce truck emissions.
Benefits of Smart Fleet:
Key Components of Smart Fleet:
In June 2014, GPS installation of the entire approved fleet of port-licensed trucks was completed. This is a first for North American ports and provides an unparalleled ability to track truck movement, allowing terminal operators and Port Metro Vancouver to boost efficiency by decreasing congestion and adding transparency into the supply chain. Wait time fees can also more effectively be paid to truck operators by the terminals.
Real Time Communications (Twitter) In 2013 we took to Twitter to better communicate with the trucking community, establishing the @PMVOps account to share real-time rail crossing information to interested dispatchers and truckers.

Twitter's great. SMS messaging is great. Even Instant Messaging is great.
But, there's one thing which ties everyone together online. It's not going away soon, and it's something that pretty much everyone has. If you guessed email (the title of the article was a give away, wasn't it?), then you're absolutely right. Just try to imagine a world without email - even with killer audio/voice technology, it just wouldn't be as refined without email.
So, if you're seeking a solution to have Drupal email your users, then one of the best methods for doing this is the Messaging and Notifications modules. You won't find one specific Drupal email module on Drupal.org because sending email is already built into Drupal. It's they way, and when email, or any other message method is used, that you need to focus on.
Sending out a message via any of the above mentioned methods, plus a Drupal email is easily accomplished with these modules.
It's easy, because they offer all the methods plus more. One of my own recent requirements was having Drupal email all users of a given role for one specific content type, and then also support email notifications to admin users in another role.
If this is the type of solution you're seeking for your Drupal site then this video may have what you're looking for.

Layer two overview: Cases, Orders, Opinions, Decisions and Writings
The words "decision", "order", "opinion", and "judgment", and even "case" tend to be used both loosely and interchangeably to mean either the act that delivers a court's ruling in a particular case, or the text of the ruling itself. To make things even more confusing, a decision (in either sense) may affect (either dispositively or nondispositively) more than one case, and a decision (in the sense of the text that records the court's ruling) may consist of more than one document.

A dear friend, Mildred Brent., moved away to Sterling, Virginia. She was part of our group of friends that would gather on Friday and Sunday to play Mexican Train.
Following church on Sunday, the hostess would prepare dinner. When it was Mildred's turn, she would always set an elegant table using beautiful dinnerware, real table cloth and napkins. The rest of us just used simple paper plates and napkins, making cleanup easier. We would fuss at Mildred for all the trouble she went to but couldn't convince her to stop. Mildred was a great cook, too.

Cravens was released from his duties as head coach of the basketball team Monday after coaching two back-to-back losing seasons. He has two years left on his contract and will be offered another position within Wildcat Athletics. Cravens out after second losing season By Jon McBride sports editor The Signpost After two consecutive losing seasons, and a last-place finish in the Big Sky Conference, Weber State University men's basketball Head Coach loe Cravens was released from his duties Monday morning, along with much of his coaching staff. Although many factors are involved in the decision of letting a coach go, WSU Athletic Director Jerry Graybeal said that it was just this final weekend of play that added "finality" to the decision. "As a coach you strive for consistency, and you strive for winning that's the bottom line," Graybeal said. "As coaches, you try to win all of the time, but there is a mark of consistency that can provide stability. Unfortunately, in the last couple years we haven't maintained that." Consistency was especially a factor in this last season as the Wildcats started off the season winning five straight games, then losing six straight games, followed by three straight wins, A view of the Green River as it runs through Dinosaur National Monument. The monument is located near Vernal, Utah and bridges the border to Colorado. The two major rivers that flow through the monument, the Green River and the Yampa River, are threatened by exotic species, controlled burning and other forms of human intervention, according to Hal Crimmel, WSU English professor and Dinosaur National Monument researcher. WSU professor shares views on Dinosaur National Monument's Green, Yampa rivers By Jason Staley managing editor The Signpost English professor Hal Crimmel filled the Weber State University Alumni Center Monday widi more than 50 audience members to hear his presentation "A Place of Rivers: The Canyons of Dinosaur National Monument." Crimmel was February's Weber Historical Society speaker. Crinimel's presentation was about the importance, the history and die troubles of die rivers at die national OS IS0 li then seven straight losses, four straight wins and ending with four straight losses. The roller coaster of emotions and success meant tire Wildcats did not make the Big Sky tournament for the first time since 1981. But consistency wasn't always a problem for Cravens. The 2002-2003 season will never be forgotten. In that season he led the Wildcats to a Big Sky title, a perfect record in Big Sky play and he was named Coach of the Year. He will also be remembered for being a part of the infamous upset over the University of North Carolina in the first round of the 1999 NCAA tournament. Former Weber State center Joey Haws was a part of the 1999 team and said Cravens played a significant part in that game as the assistant coach. "He played a major role in putting a game plan together the defenses, the scouting," Haws said. "As an assistant coach I respected him greatly because he never got put of line." Haws was at the coaches' luncheon on Monday where the monument. Crinimel's appreciation for die national monument began because ofhislove for rivers and in trying to get to know Utah, he told die audience. The other thing diat interested him about die place was that it was a cold desert widi an extreme temperature flux from 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer to minus 40 in die winter. "It is not what most people diink of when you think of desert; it is cold desert," Crimmel said. "I said to mv friend Rex Burrow, 'Rex, I had n u OA announcement was made. He said it was the first time he had been to the luncheon in two years; he just decided to go on that specific day, not knowing there were any plans fo' an announcement. He was visiting with some acquaintances and was shocked at the news. "It's a tough situation, it's a tough business to be in and in sports in general, college or pro, you've got to win, that's the bottom line," Flaws said. Sean Moore was another former player of Cravens in 1999. He said it was sad hearing the news but said even with the bottom line of winning, he has taken away from the game more than that. "After you're around basketball for a while you kind of forget the wins and losses you had with guys, but you always remember the relationships you build," Moore said. Cravens' relationship with Moore affected him a great deal. Moore is now the head basketball coach at St. Joseph Fligh School in Ogden. Moore said Cravens is See Cravens page 9 have a desire to go to Mongolia (another cold desert).' I le said, i Ial, why would you want to go to Mongolia? Just go to Wyoming.'" Throughout the presentation, Crimmel tossed historical anecdotes about the area. Most of the stories were about the John Wesley Powell expedition down die Colorado River drainage. Other stories included oudavvs such as Butch Cassidy and die Sundance Kid, who hid in the area of Brown's park in Dinosaur National Monument. Outlaws hid out in die area because it was close to diree states, so if die local law enforcement was after die oudaws, die outiaws could slip into anodier state. "Brown's Dark was also attractive because Student senate remembers Elton By Nate Bringhurst campus affairs editor The Signpost This week the Weber State University Student Association Student Senate meeting started and ended in the same way with a moment of silence. The first moment of silence is a normal procedure among the student senators. They use this moment of silence to reflect on their duty and responsibilities associated with their calling. It is a tradition practiced in many organizations. The second was for fellow Weber State University student, Raechele Elton. Elton was raped then stabbed to death at the hands of a young man she was trying to help. Elton, 21, was a criminaljustice major and expected to graduate this December. She worked at a youth independent living home in Clearfield. Ryan Starks, WSU Student Association president, attended Do-gooders do spring break By Brad Fidler sr. news reporter The Signpost With spring break fast approaching, many students are planning vacations to southern Utah and elsewhere. Weber State University's Volunteer Involvement Program offers students more, with an alternative to the typical spring break vacation. "Alternative Spring Break is an opportunity for students at Weber State to take a vacation and volunteer at the same time," said Blake Fessler, Alternative Spring Break chairman. "We sign up with an organization and do volunteer work." For the last few years, Alternative Spring Break has joined forces with Habitat for Flumanity to build homes for low-income families in various areas. Flabitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit housing program with a goal to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world. Past trips widi Habitat for Humanity have been to San Fernando, Calif.; Spokane, Wash.; and Albuquerque, NM. This year the group is going to Oakland, Calif. "We work four out of the five days from about 8 in die morning to about 4 in the afternoon," Fessler said. "We build houses with odier university students from across die ItoirjiriMlM'5' Elton's funeral services. "It's a very sad siuiaiion," Starks said. "I think it would be very appropriate for the senate to be mindful of her and her family the next few weeks." Starks also wants to make sure the student senate is mindful of forthcoming students and faculty members who pass away. "I think it would be a good idea for one of the senators to come up with some type of change to either the policies or bylaws," Starks said. "And enforce the senate to take a moment of silence and maybe have a brief overview of any student or faculty member who passes away." This week the Hispanic Area Council will continue holding their Hispanic emphasis week. On Thursday, March 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. all students are invited to come to the diversity See Senate page 3 nation and we have a good time giving back to the community and experience something new." Widi three other universities, the group plans to build six houses for six families in the area during the week. "A great tiling about 1 Iabitat for Humanity is that the families, or die owners who are going to have the house, have to put a certain amount of time and effort into it as well," Fessler said. " They come on die weekends and after work. So it's not just a giveaway, they have to put some effort into it as well." Fessler said the Volunteer Involvement Program will plan to charter a bus from Weber State to keep the cost of the trip to a minimum, and the group will be accommodated at a local church. The $100 cost includes transportation, housing and food. "I don't know if there's any spring break trip that you could go on for $100 and have everything provided foryou," Fessler said. "A lot of people have already been to St. George and done the whole spring break Uiing, and been there and done that. They should come and give this a try." Fessler said diat there would be a lot of free time in which students attending can visit various sites See Break page 5 '7 the boundary between being an outlaw and a law-abiding citizen was kind of blurry," he said. "People had the habit of rounding up cows that may or may not have belonged to them and claiming them as their own." One of die main features of the presentation was Crininici's discussion of the effects human intervention has had on the monument's environment. According to die presentation, ycarsoffircsuppression created an environment where sagebrush has run rampant across some of die grasslands in die area. In addition to natural species getting out of sink dianks to die lack of fires, exotic species of plants (tamarisk) and animals (like See Dinosaur page 5

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

They coach the same game, with the same-sized fields and same oblong ball. They both wear whistles, headsets and sunglasses that hide sleep-starved eyes closer to Xs than O's.
But the difference between being a head football coach in college and the NFL is like the difference between Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
"When you're in the NFL, and you're going to do something that's going to help you win, no one ever says, 'What does it cost?'" said Jerry Glanville, who coached at Portland State more than a decade after coaching the Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons.
"When you're in college and you say, 'I want to get this done,' they say, 'We don't have the funding. By the way, would you go raise the funding?'"
The differences go well beyond that, including the challenge of recruiting high school athletes, how the players interact with each other and the day-to-day responsibilities of the coaches.
"When kids get in trouble and screw up in college, everybody feels the responsibility for it," said Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll, USC's coach from 2001-09. "Here, it's more on the player. You don't feel so terrible because the players are grownups. They're getting paid, they're professional. They're supposed to take care of their own world.
"In college, they make everybody feel responsible for it. The [athletic director], the president, the head coach, everybody feels responsible."
Carroll is among seven current NFL coaches who have been college head coaches, the others being Philadelphia's Chip Kelly, Buffalo's Doug Marrone, Tampa Bay's Greg Schiano, San Francisco's Jim Harbaugh, Arizona's Bruce Arians and the New York Giants' Tom Coughlin.
While those coaches are gearing up for the final push in the NFL's regular season, their old college counterparts are hitting the road for that vital recruiting stretch between the end of the season and bowl games.
"What you have to have in a college coach is somebody who can absolutely bust his butt recruiting," said agent Bob LaMonte, who represents multiple NFL and college coaches. "I don't mean a little bit of the time. I mean 24/7, 365. The coach will sell his soul to the devil for time. He will not make it if he doesn't give his life over to recruiting.
"There's no end to the time you'll spend. If you don't do that, I guarantee you will fail as a head coach in college."
The recruiting that goes on in the pros is the courting of free agents, although those player decisions often hinge on which team is willing to pay more. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part the ability to recruit is far more important in college.
"I took great pride in my recruiting," said Barry Switzer, the longtime Oklahoma coach who later won a Super Bowl as coach of the Dallas Cowboys. "I worked hard at it. First of all, I had a great product to sell. When you have the University of Oklahoma to sell, I'm selling Mercedes. I'm not selling Volkswagens. So I had an advantage. Kids were going to listen to me. Families were going to listen to me. We were winning tremendously in my era."
NFL teams play eight regular-season games on the road. In a sense, when it comes to recruiting, college coaching is one continuous road trip.
"My schedule [at Oregon], the day the season was over was a lot worse than my schedule here" in Philadelphia, Kelly said. "Because, you know, you're planes, trains and automobiles recruiting from Sunday night until Friday afternoon and hustling back and practicing, getting a practice in Friday afternoon, practice Saturday, practice Sunday, get back on a plane and fly around the country chasing down recruits.
"Maybe a misconception is when you're a college coach and the last game is done and then the bowl game comes, you don't have a month off. I would argue my schedule was more hectic from a recruiting standpoint than it was here. So I'm looking forward to being in the office every day and watching tape. That is the fun part of our job."
UCLA Coach Jim Mora, who formerly coached the Atlanta Falcons and the Seahawks, said he prefers college football because of the "energy and enthusiasm" surrounding the game, as well as the enhanced responsibilities coaches have.
"The relationships with players, it's different," he said. "They are younger. They are more impressionable. They need you more in their lives. You're dealing with mothers and fathers rather than wives and agents. It's much bigger than football.
"In the NFL, you are judged on one thing: Did you win or did you lose? In college football, you're judged on did you win or did you lose, but you're also judged on, are your students doing well academically? Are you helping them become responsible citizens? Are you introducing them to things in terms of community services, and things outside the realm of football? They don't do that in the NFL."
So much of the job comes down to selling the school on a prospect and his family. When Glanville was a linebackers coach at Georgia Tech in the early 1970s, it wasn't uncommon for him to be sharing a couch with a rival coach, sometimes a coaching legend, fervently vying for a recruit.

Israel Siphons off Africa's Nile
By Jomana Farhat | Al Akhbar | July 30, 2012
Egyptian and Sudanese policy failures have lead to a looming strategic threat to both countries' most important resources – the Nile. Israel has now signed an agreement with the South Sudanese authorities over rights to the country's precious water source.
There was an outcry in Egypt and Sudan over last week's signing of a cooperation agreement between Israel and South Sudan on water infrastructure and technology development. Warnings abounded that the pact between the government in Juba and Israeli Military Industries Ltd posed a threat to the water security of the two downstream countries and should be countered. Largely overlooked was the fact that their own inaction was mostly to blame for it.
Israeli designs on the waters of the Nile and on the resources of the African continent are hardly new. For years Israel has striven hard to forge ties with a number of African states and strengthen its presence in the continent, for both economic and security reasons. … continue

According to the latest Hollywood news, ASHLEY TISDALE and her boyfriend, SCOTT SPEER, have called it quits. Guess it's going to be a cold, cold Christmas this year for Ashley.
What bad timing! The petite "High School Musical" star and 6-foot-something Speer ended their almost-three-year relationship with the holidays just around the corner… so sad!
A source tells Us Weekly:
"They had been on and off for a while. They tried to work it out but realized their relationship ran its course."
Speer, who is an accomplished music video director, directed three of Ashley's music videos in 2007, and then another two in 2009, during which the two began their relationship. They started dating in April—one month after the actress' breakup with her ex-boyfriend, V Factory rocker Jared Murillo.
How sad. Do you think Ashley and Scott might get back together?

February 3, 2006
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Evergreen's basketball teams picked up two more wins tonight and the renowned Evergreen mascot-Speedy Geoduck-was in attendance and sporting a new look.
The redesigned mascot was introduced at halftime of the men's basketball game as the Evergreen Singers belted out a rousing rendition of The Geoduck Fight Song.
Designed by Evergreen student Alice Dietz as part of an individual learning contract, the new Speedy Geoduck was greeted by Evergreen president Les Purce and a standing ovation from the largest crowd to attend an Evergreen basketball game this season.

Drink This! Sangria 2.0 from New York Magazine
Hot! New York Magazine is tired of the same old sangrias, and so they've gathered up inspiration from some of New York's hottest bartenders. Sangria may be our favorite summer drink - especially as incarnated in these fresh concoctions. Beet sangria, anyone?
Our favorite two sangria inspirations are pictured above:
• Sherry sangria from Roger Kugler at Suba. It includes dry fino sherry, gin, and lemon tea, garnished with a cucumber.
• Beet sangria from Eben Freeman at Tailor. It uses beet and orange juices along with orange salt for an intense and fruity drink.
There aren't any recipes here, but the inspiration is almost as good as a recipe. See the whole slideshow here:

Want to hear the saddest thing ever? I have a jug of sangria in the fridge intended for a rained out picnic this weekend. Its getting more delicious by the day, but I still can't find anyone to drink it with me. Saddest. Ever.
Does sangria really need to be reimagined?
There are few things finer than sitting on my deck with friends during the hot Virginia summer sipping on a glass of ice cold Carlo Rossi Sangria. Screwtop, baby, screwtop. Plus, you can do fun things with the jugs when you're done.
If I was closer, FTF, I'd be down for helping you polish that off.
I polished off a pitcher of my special white sangria (pinot grigio, triple sec, pear soda, white nectarines, sliced green grapes, & limes) as I watched the Laker hand over the championship last night. It was the only thing that consoled me.

I was listening to my guy friend Paul recently talk about some challenges he faced in dating. He has not been able to meet anyone who meets his standards, which he admits are a little unrealistic.
Paul works as a personal trainer, so he really wants to meet someone who is fit, into healthy living, and wants to help him build his business.
The women he meet are leading busy lives and don't seem open to the idea of putting their careers on hold to help him with his goals. Is it realistic to expect something like this is dating?
I think a lot of us have an idea of what we want in a mate. We may not admit it but we have a mental checklist of what we consider ideal for us. How realistic are those expectations we have when it comes to dating?
Do you think single people need a reality check about what to expect from dating and relationships?

I think that the realisticness of the expectations depends on the age of the people daing. If you are in your 20's, it is realistic to help your partner build his/her career. However, if you are in your late 30's/early 40's I don't think it is nearly as realistic. I would expect that someone at that point has already established their business rather than just starting out.
August 13th, 2012
9:02 am
good morning. CC, I agree with you. I was feeling old boy when he said he wanted a fit/healthy person. nothing wrong with that. seeking someone to help him build his business almost read as a red flag to me. if he's about his business then he needs to be about his business. I would have been more understanding had he asked for a woman who was understanding of the fact that he was working hard to build his business. yep, to me it sounds like he's asking for too much. he needs to get a grip. some years ago I had a guy feel some kind of way because I wasn't supportive enough of him starting a business. mind you said business was nothing more than his selling some kind of herbal supplement health craze never heard of it drink supplement on the side. I was like really. have at it but if you want my support you need a business that I can support. wasn't feeling the "janky juice" (I forget what it was really called).
August 13th, 2012

disco~ Was it the HerbalLife stuff? I knew someone who sold that stuff and I swear to God it was always about selling! Made me want to just tell them to shut up! LOL!

Again, it's about compatibility. Find someone who is willing to sign on to your plan. It may not be easy, but it's not unrealistic. And sometimes you'll have to wade through sh!t to get to the prize. How much do you really want what you say you want?
August 13th, 2012

CC – naw. it was something weird and unheard of with a crazy name like "lava juice" or something. supposed to be made with something weird from some remote never never land someplace or other that had magical healing powers. it was totally crazy as far as I was concerned and I was not giving him my stamp of approval on the mess. dude even wanted to give me free samples to drink and tell all my friends about. puh-leeze.

Morning Ladies. Oh before I forget, I just wanted to put you on to this new Wheatgrass Kale Juice I'm selling. It'll change your life. It's good for your cholesterol, is high in antioxidants, reverses aging, prevents foot odor, improves vision, promotes weight loss, and can even act as a perfume. The juice is only $1.99 a bottle, plus a $1000 lifetime membership in the WKJ Association. Just sign here… lol

If I'm reading this right dude wants a woman he's DATING to put their career on hold so she can help him with his goals. This is too much, yeah I would if she was my Wife. I would never ask a woman I'm dating to stop what she's doing to help me attain my goals. More power to him if he lands one like that.
Good Morning:
August 13th, 2012
9:26 am
Morning all.
There's nothing wrong with supporting someone in their dreams at any age, as long as you don't neglect yours, and get the same support in return. It's unrealistic if you're expected to stop your life and be in support of everything they do. I can give you all the support in the world as long as you can hold your own, if you can't and this hole is getting deeper, it's time to wake up to reality.
August 13th, 2012

Ditto Single!
I like that perspective…
merning folks!!!
August 13th, 2012
9:33 am
Good morning – checklist, preferences and the search for the ideal. Probably most have some or all at play in their search. I guess whether or not it is realistic depends on how close you come to getting what you want. If you are striking out a lot or seem to come up empty — time to re-evaluate either the checklist or the pond you are fishing in. Of course the other side of the coin is you meeting someone else's ideal checklist.

If he lives in the little A and expects a woman that's maintaining her own life to flow with his yeah he's gonna have a lot of more challenges to over come.

CC – this particular guy lives down that way so I'm sure he wasn't the only one who was on to the stuff. lol.

BF – thing is dude has a pretty good chance of landing one like that. there are some knucklehead A women out there.
August 13th, 2012
9:36 am
BF~ That's not just in the A. Society has changed to the point that women now have their own careers and just supporting your man and being the woman behind the man is not good enough for a lot of women anymore.
August 13th, 2012
9:39 am
CC would you have put your career on hold in your 20s
August 13th, 2012
9:40 am
and by the way, I don't mind supporting a man. I just have to believe in whatever it is he's asking me to support. I'm not going to be supportive of something that I think is some bull just to have his back. and, to be clear, in my case, supporting is not to be mistaken for taking care of.
August 13th, 2012

9:50 am
Sounds like this guy is looking for a business partner rather than a life partner. I wonder if he plans on paying whatever woman he finds to help him build his business.
I tried to help my ex build his career, but I was in love and I believed in him (foolishly). I did NOT put my own life on hold, though. I continued with my two jobs, my two non-profit boards, and hanging out with friends. I did what I could. What really got to me was when he pretty much stopped helping himself advance in his music. I laugh now because he had hardly had any gigs since we've been apart!!! I hope he realizes now how much I did help him out…
August 13th, 2012
9:52 am
Comon: that's what I'm wondering, it's possible he can find somebody to fit that mold. Just that women I relate to in their 40's and 50's don't have time for that goofyness. I understand a lady supporting her guy the way disco puts it on her 9:40. I'm guessing the dude is young and need more experience to learn to pave his own path and it's not up to the lady stop her action.
August 13th, 2012
9:56 am
Good Morning All, let's be clear. Are we saying supporting him emotionally and perhaps as his assistant working behind the scenes, or are we talking about investing $$ into his 'another fitness guru' business. Because if a man shows up on a first, second or third date wanting me to invest my hard earned money into a business that he is just now figuring out may work, he can just say goodbye to me right then. I know, I know…I am cruel. lol

August 13th, 2012
10:01 am
BF~ And, aain, I think it depends on what ou mean by support. When I was married to the first husband, I did delay my career somewhat by lessening the amount of hours I took in school so that he could devote more time to his business. On weekends, I went up and manned the front desk to save him on payroll. But, he was my husband not just a date. For a guy I'm dating? I would need more committment before I cold put my goals and career on hold.
Good Morning, ITL. Did you get my last email yesterday?

I wouldn't support a chic I'm dating asking me to stop the presses that I've maintained. I'd more than willing to assist but I'd think she lost all the marbles in her head to say stop what I'm doing. Married folks can do this all day long for as long as it can be sustained,

Did Diva's friend actually say he wanted a woman to put her career on hold to help him with his business, or is that what's she's interpreting when he says he wants a woman to help him build his business? If he's really about his business, then he's already started building it, and he just wants a woman who understands that and will be on the same page with him. Now, if he's waiting for a woman to help him start that business, then he sounds like a moocher.
August 13th, 2012
10:35 am
"…putting their careers on hold to help him with his goals." – Sounds like more than helping him emotionally. Seems to lean more toward financial assistance, promoting his business, secretarial work, foot work in passing out flyers, networking to drum up business, and probably would like a woman with a full Rolodex! IJS….
August 13th, 2012

Morning, BF!
@CC: Only received one email yesterday and I responded.
August 13th, 2012

DM – that's what I was getting at when my post got jacked twice. sounds like dude isn't dating to find a mate so much as he is conducting interviews for an assistant.
August 13th, 2012
10:43 am
Friend of mine was engaged to a guy who wanted her to support his business. He'd been working at it a long time, with only small success. She cashed out her 401(k) to help him out. Yep, you know where this is going… the check came, she handed it over, then all of a sudden he said it wasn't working out and POOF, he was gone. A few years later she met another woman who had almost the same story — with the same man.
My ex wanted me to support his business. I was fine with that, but not indefinitely. After trying and trying and trying, no success. At that point, it's time to do something new — but he insisted on continuing the same thing over and over, and couldn't understand why I wouldn't support it. so POOF, I was gone.
If a fitness trainer asked me to put my career on hold so he could build his business, I guess that would work just fine cuz I'd run away so fast I'd be in great shape.

Totally unrealistic. Personal trainer?! Puh-leeze. Get a job.
Sub in a different occupation. I should expect a woman to support me in my goals regarding a technology career — uh, how exactly? Beyond being understanding of the time constraints my career puts upon me, what could she possibly do?
Suppose a restaurant owner/operator is looking for dates. What's she going to do to support him in that, wait tables or help with the accounting?
Suppose it's a web-based startup. She's going to code, tweet, promote? It doesn't make much sense to me.
August 13th, 2012
11:06 am
Since this topic seems a bit tired, can I ask a general question?
If a woman is about to become engaged (they've talked about it, but she doesn't know when he'll ask), is there a tactful way to express a preference as to the type of ring she'd prefer? She trusts his taste, but wants to let him know what she really likes, rather than having to 'love' a ring that she might not really love so much. Guys, would it offend you if she told you what she likes? And how specific could it be?
August 13th, 2012
11:11 am
Paul works as a personal trainer, so he really wants to meet someone who is fit, into healthy living, and wants to help him build his business.
So, it sounds to me like he wants someone who is in the lifestyle to network FOR him as well as being his "date". He admits his expectations are somewhat unrealistic? Try very unrealistic.
If she is already into that lifestyle, she probably already has someone who is mentoring/training her.
August 13th, 2012
11:12 am
@abc exactly.
August 13th, 2012
11:14 am
lolalee~ Maybe she should suggest that they go out and look at rings together so she can get an idea of the ring that would best suit him and he can get an idea of the ring that would best suit her.
August 13th, 2012
11:18 am
Lolalee – when I got engaged years ago, we went shopping together and I picked out a few rings so he would have an idea. He chose from the ones that I showed him I liked.
August 13th, 2012

"Guys, would it offend you if she told you what she likes? And how specific could it be?'
Not me it would be good to have her feedback making a choice.

Because I always like to offer an alternative: the Backlot Express is a fine counter service diner for those folks wanting to save some time and money. Sitting very close to the last stop on the tour, STAR TOURS, Backlot is often overlooked and the burger fixin's bar is top notch. However, the Hollywood Brown Derby is an amazing full service restaurant. Folks may want to change into a tuxedo to fit in, as the shorts and sandaled patrons look very out of place in this ritzy restaurant.
Also, thanks for including a comment about avoiding Extra Magic Hours if you are not staying at a Disney resort. It will be a huge help to most folks.
I'd want the optional attraction to be near or between the last listed one of the lunch location. Ideas? Indy might be tough due to the show schedule. Muppets? Great Movie Ride?
However, The Great Movie Ride is a decent choice simply because it is Disney's longest dark ride, and a huge people mover always able to handle the load. And it is air conditioned!! =)
One other note: if peeps do come back for Fantasmic (which they should...it is an awesome show), they should set time aside to catch the Beauty and the Beast show as well. It is right next to Fantasmic and definitely as close to Broadway quality as any of the better Disney theme park shows.
Anyway None of the WDW Theme Park Shows are close to Broadway quality! I've seen all the Disney Musicals on Broadway multiple times (Mary Poppins is my favorite, and The Little Mermaid is nothing like what you would think) and the only one that ever came close to broadway quality was Hunchback and then only when it first opened...

Starting a LGBT ERG is an exciting challenge that requires time, energy, and courage.
Employee Resource Groups are a great way to:
Questions to consider as you begin:
An Informal Beginning
Many ERGs start informally with a small group gathering for lunch to speak about issues away from work. In the beginning, growth can be achieved by word of mouth. Initial discussions might vary from socializing to brainstorming larger goals.
Once informal gatherings have generated some interest and energy, it's time to move forward!
Seeking Official Recognition and Approaching Management
First determine what you are seeking from management. A few examples are:
Approach management with a clear communications strategy. For example:
When dealing with skeptical management:
Expect challenges. Whether there is resistance based on religious and moral arguments, concern that the company is promoting a lifestyle, or that a policy challenges the overall diversity initiative, remember to respond to skepticism with anecdotal examples, and always consider LGBT diversity training for top leaders.
The Business Case
Some useful points in making the business case
E-mail, listservs or voicemail are most frequently used. But keep in mind, many of these communication methods are for business purposes only and can be legally monitored. ERG work is often considered legitimate business.
Some suggestions:
Finding Members
Advertise! Some suggestions for advertising:
Other Suggestions:
Privacy and Confidentiality
It is important to respect different levels of "outness" in group. Always make sure to cautiously use e-mail (not easily identifiable sender, ambiguous subject headings). Other ways to insure levels of privacy are to keep meetings off site when possible and only send out anonymous mailings.
Meetings and Activities
Keep meetings interesting, ask for feedback, have variety of activities (social and activist – to keep attention).
Some activity suggestions:
Corporate and Community Activism
What are some of the possibilities that arise when an ERG exists?
Some of the rights ERG's fight for in the workplace are:
Maintaining Momentum
How do you maintain momentum after your ERG gets started?

SDCC: Marvel NOW! Point One Anthology Announced
- Written by Jude Terror on Friday, July 13 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Marvel will be releasing a Black Fury focused anthology to prepare readers for Marvel NOW!
Source: Mavel
The new anthology is intended to provide a road map for the Marvel Universe during the Marvel NOW! initiative. The only character officially confirmed for the story is Nick Fury Jr., the hastily crafted black son of Nick Fury shoehorned into the Marvel Universe in order to make it look more like the Avengers Movieverse. The anthology will feature multiple stories tied together by a larger framing story, a storytelling convention famously used in such classic works of literature as Canterbury Tales and One Thousand and One Nights, and this book is sure to be similar to those classics, with the notable exception that each story will focus on Wolverine and how all the other characters in the book look up to, are inspired by, and/or want to sleep with him. The book will also lead into a new ongoing series starring Black Fury, spurred by the lack of demand from fans for anything of the sort.

Executive editor Andrew Reiner looks back at his favorite titles. Do you agree with his list?
After playing 245 games, killing 5,724 scientists, collecting 98,075 coins, and flying a grand total of 430,777 meters, I've learned a few things that have helped me in the popular iOS title. Check out my tips here.
My father made his annual trip up to GI, and I couldn't let him go home without playing more games that he can't stand.
My sixth NBA 2K14 update is small, but filled with action.
Considering he hates everything about the video game industry, I decided to record my dad and I playing five games when he was in town recently.
I break down the ten best entries in gaming's most famous series. No Karts, no Parties, no sports...strictly the core Mario titles.
So, I've been playing Borderlands a lot recently. I mean an utterly stupid amount of Borderlands.
I added three new additions to my ever-expanding list. Read on to see why I enjoyed them!
I run down the full list of games I completed in 2011 with my personal score and thoughts on each.
I've added Lightning Returns to the list of Xbox 360 games for which I've gotten all 1000 achievement points.
Reiner devotes his life to the series' newest mode, My Player.
A week ago I posted a story to my blog
recounting the trials and tribulations I went through to decode an
Easter egg in Borderlands. It involved a QR code, a crappy cell phone,
and some mad MS Paint skills.

In Stock
Ships Within 24 Hours
Sellout Risk: Moderate
A innovative design for the Dakine B-Fly Snowboard Stomp that is an easy, cheap and useful stomp. Within 24 hours it'll be on and it will stay on. The design itself is a angular butterfly in a silver that looks really nice on vibrantly colored boards.
Bought the Butterfly Stomp pad a while back. Unlike the stomp pad I had previously that cost me $20 from a store this one actually holds to the board and looks sweet at the same time. I found the grip was fine, Just make sure you position it correctly before you stick it down, unlike me...
I can't possibly give this stomp pad any more than 3 stars even though it looks fantastic and probably would have been rad on my wife's board. I had purchased this last year in the March 2010 sale and hadn't went to put it on until our trip to Tremblant in December. When I went to install it there was no stick and peel at all on the back and actually no glue of any kind. It almost looked it like had been used as there were scratches yet it was fully new when I opened the package. Long story short I had to email Dakine to get some more stomp pads (they gave me a choice of 2 and actually sent both). Unfortunately they were too late for our trip and the wifey didn't have a stomp pad. This was disappointing but Dakine came through in the end for us. I'm not sure whether or not to recommend this as I think I got a defect or something. The stomp pad looks amazing and I think it will perform well, just hope it's got glue on the back!
This stomp pad is great. It has a lot of grip which is great. Its easy to put on and it looks sick if the color matches with ur board. I would buy this pad.
I bought this for my girlfriend and she is happy with it. She was using this spongy looking one on her old board. This one is way better than that.
I got this stomp pad in gray. I bought the Sierra V spot, and out of all the stomp pads on this website this one I liked the most to match it. It also had very good reviews, and for the price I just had to get it. Overall I'm happy with my purchase except for one thing: a little piece of the top portion, right in the middle of the butterfly broke off! The rest is still there but for one day, that's pretty disappointing.
My sister bought one that was pink and black about 6 years ago and it still hasnt fallen off. I've felt it and it sticks to your boot pretty well. It doesnt build up snow which keeps it pretty well stuck to your boot. Although if you have a bigger sized foot, you may want to try a different style such as the ones with many different studs so it can cover a larger space.
I got the green one to match my Sierra V Spot since they are both green and it's a perfect match. It is a very cool design and it serves the purpose. Overall, I love it!
Im in love with this pad...my little girl has one too. Its a sick style, looks rad and does its purpose! Snow doesnt build up on it too much either!
I'm wanting to buy this stomp pad, it looks great and it has a high rating. I would like to check it out for at the moment its on sale for ONLY $6.00!!
I had a previous board with butterflies on it, so this was a perfect stomp pad. Actually, it's one of the better stomp pads I've ever used. It is made of hard plastic, has tall borders on it for snow removal, and also has 2 metal spikes for grabbing ahold of your boots. It really works well.
Bought this one for the lady, shes super happy with it, and for the price, you cant go wrong!
Okay, I'm not sure how I didn't see this when I bought it, but it's a butterfly shape. Lol I used it anyway for one day then bought another. It definitely works and won't have your boot slipping when you're getting off the lift, and the metal spikes really help to get that grip, but I don't recommend it for guys :P
This stomp is great. Big enough to do it's job but small enough not to take up your entire board. It is truly an aggressive stomp. I got the Grey/White one to go on my V-spot with Burton Lexa bindings. The combination is sweet. Unfortunately with the location of the stomp, it covers up some of the great graphics of the board.
Got this for my gfs flow bff board and its a nice subtle touch she likes girly and it shows!! Best thing about it is her foot stays firmly on this board thanks to this pad.. although its small you wont need an extra, probably the best female stomp pad has to offer at this present time.
My gf has this, though it might be too small but it was the best stomp pad she's ever used.
I put this on my girlfriends board and its holding up nicely. Its wide enough for guys and has pretty high spikes for stomping through the snow
This one is the best stomp grip I've ever had.
Defiantly does the job. Not too small, not too big. I recommend this to anyone.
The black and silver design is quite nice, but functionality wise, this is great. The spikes really give you a great hold, even when you are chocked up with snow and ice. One of the best I have used.
I got the black/white butterfly one and fits well and looks great. It has a good grip and does the job well.
I purchased this item for my girlfriend and she loves it. The installation process was easy and effective and the stomp pad has stayed on the board after 5 or so runs. The grip of the stomp pad is great and even with ice and snow the grip does not entirely go away. The only problem I have is the design because I want one, but it would not match my board!
My friend has one of those on his board. I tried it out during our last get together, it surely isn't a high cost and really nothing important for your riding I guess.. but still, this pad is a sick pad for its purpose and it doesn't come off easy.
At just a few $$, this is a great stomp pad. It matches my Never Summer SL-R board very well. The pad sticks well and hasn't come off in a few rides. Buy it now while it's on sale! -- in fact, buy two, just to have a spare...
Good traction. Does its job. Maybe a bit oversized but no complaints.
Great Stomp pad. The Butterfly pad has very good grips, unlike smaller pads. It easily attaches to the board and doesnt come off.. Get one and You'll Know.
Picked this up recently. Adhesive is really strong and stomp pad gives lots of grip. Shame about the colours and aesthetics though as it looks kinda girly.
I'm happy with how it adhesed to my board, I heard the little ones fall off after one ride.
I stick this pad, gray, with my R V Crew 151 blue one. They go well together. I used to have problem with getting off the lift. This pad helped me get over the problem well. I love the butterfly shape, looks good, but it's little too big and thick. It functions very well though. Over all I love it. and I bought it super cheap..^O^
My daughter has this stomp pad and loves the design and functionality. It has good grip and is very durable. Get it!
I was afraid that this was going to be big, but its just the picture. This really is the perfect stomp pad. Its about 3 inches in diameter. Unlike most stomp pads that get covered by now and don't work, this one does!
I have just tried those Stomp Pads. I fixed it on my Sierra Crew 2 days ago and tried them on today. They work just fine. Good grip and pretty useful. The only downside is the shape of the pads. So if you don't mind the girly butterfly shape on your board, these pads are pretty awesome.
This stomp pad offers extreme grip for those that are sketchy getting off the lift. My girlfriend loves it, although she felt awkward at first due to the extra grip. She was accustomed to flopping around like a fish out of water prior to this stomp pad. Now, her boot stays exactly where she places it. The spikes and the hard plastic material help break away ice build-up on the boot with ease. Great product and even greater price.
I've used smaller simple spike pads in the past, this looks like it will perform the same or better, as it has a larger area to stomp on. Can't wait to use it this season
Easy to apply the butterfly to the board. Simple design with lots of traction. Doesn't hurt the wallet. Does the job and lasts long. 9/10
I purchased one of these for my friends birthday (from Aussie ski shop) for her new board. Most of the time, stomp pads dont really work well in icy conditions as the ice builds up and it defeats the purpose of a stomp pad but this one works like a charm. This stomp pad costs 1/10th the price here than it costs in Australia. No wonder many people complain snow sports are expensive here but Thanks to you, we are able to purchase affordable snow gear.
This fit nicely on my girlfriends Burton Avenue the color goes well. Dakine makes good products there stomp pads are no exception.
I love love this stomp pad, I bought 4 of them! Both my boards have lime green to it so this stomp is perfect! Looks great, feels great, your boot will never ever slip off with this sucker right beneath it.
A female stomp pad that really stands out. Like the male version, the Venom, this is very high profile. It hardly ever gets covered completely by the snow, so grip is always there!. Girlfriend loves the design. It really does stand out. If you want a low profile stomp, look elsewhere. If you want excellent grip, ALL THE TIME, this is it!
I got this for my new board, it does it's job as a stomp pad, and price is very good.
Bought this stomp pad to go with my girlfriends Gullwing Runaway board and it looks pretty sweet on it. The silver and black blends in nicely even if it is a butterly shape.
Okay, so the design is girly but at least this stomp pad won't make you fall in front of your friends. The two spikes definitely poke into the bottom of your boot (no penetration) and the traction is great! If you don't mind the girly design, I highly recommend one!
I've owned three stomp pads, including a burton, that either fell off, got encrusted by snow/ice or were boring. This is by far the best stomp pad, never gets overwhelmed with snow/ice and when there is lots of powder- easily remove with a quick glove sweep. And it is super-cute, as well, even in the grey color. Highly recommended!
Got the green one and put it on my 2010 GNU Owl/Nature scene board and it looks terrific! Followed instructions to install with no problem. Get this if you need a quality stomp pad that looks great.
