Expert witnesses can be an extremely valuable portion of your case. If they are well-prepared, convincing and convey a clear, uncomplicated message to the jury, their testimony can lead directly to a verdict in your favor. If they are unconvincing and don't communicate well, they are at best useless and at worst damaging to the case.The essential problem is that expert witnesses – whether they are testifying on engineering, scientific, financial, or other issues – tend to be very intelligent and knowledgeable. At the same time, however, they are prone to using terms that are well above the jury's experience and educational levels and thus these experts are prone to be dismissed by some jurors as ivory-tower types who have nothing useful to say.We believe our firm plays several important roles helping expert witnesses get prepped for trial. Since our goal is winning by telling a clear and convincing story, the value of expert testimony must be maximized in each case. Expert witnesses are an essential piece of the litigation persuasion puzzle.Here are our seven tips for preparing expert witnesses and expert testimony to the best effect possible:
• Leading national litigation consulting firm since 1995
• Personnel nationwide
• Routinely voted #1 for demonstrative evidence consulting, jury consulting or intellectual property litigation consulting nationally
• Consulted for all major law firms on 10,000+ cases with trillions of dollars cumulatively at stake offering:

This puts down an amazingly fine line and is smooth when it wants to be. I seem to have gotten a finicky one though, needs to be store upside down in order to write smoothly. If you have one that starts/stops, try storing it upside down with cap on. Oh and it really hates it when you leave the cap off. Oddly, I don't have this issue with any other pen from this line.
I'm not crazy, my pen just has its own personality.

Really wanted to like this colour. Only useful for colouring in drawings because you definitely won't be writing with it. Unless you use black paper or something. It is very pretty, but just didn't suit my purposes.

This is the best ballpoint pen I've ever had! Everyone who borrows it falls in love with it. Had to re-order a few times because of this. I can see how some people might be bothered by its scratchiness compared to a bolder pen, but no one I lent it to seemed to mind.

Pro: nice ink color and no flow problems
Con: barrel cracked and blue plastic covering on the nib started flaking off (and I'm pretty sure it wasn't some kind of protective removable plastic sheet that was meant to come off).
FYI I didn't drop the pen, in fact it was sitting pretty on my desk its whole lifespan, so not sure why the barrel cracked.
Conclusion: If you find you like fountain pens, save up for a safari!

Person trapped in hole
LOUISVILLE, Ky, (WHAS11) -- Emergency crews have rescued a construction worker who fell into a hole on Shelbyville Road, across the street from Oxmoor Center.
Sky11 was over the scene and it appears to be some type of construction site. Doug Proffitt said the site is a former gas station and the hole resulted from crews removing underground gas tanks.
Video from Sky11 showed rescue workers in the hole with the victim while they lowered a stokes basket into the area to secure the man.
Shortly after 10:30 a.m., the man, who has yet to be identified, was removed from the hole in the basket and was taken to the hospital. His injuries are not life-threatening.

Traditional rebel against the norm of society. I aspire to be a compassionate person that is the change I want to see in the world. Margaret Meade, Marilyn Monroe, cleopatra, Thomas jefferson, Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin is the mixture I aspire to be. The Dalai lama is my favorite. I believe all people can heal through yoga, mediation, and compassion. Compassion heals yourself through kindness to others. I might have a good head on my shoulders but I have my issues and you will see that through my writing.

SOURCE Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather, Keen & Littky-Rubin
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., June 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- West Palm Beach-based Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather, Keen & Littky-Rubin has filed a Class Action Complaint against General Motors Company (GM) on behalf of its client, Geri Siano Carriuolo, and all persons in Florida who purchased vehicles from GM that contained false and developed safety information. The suit alleges that GM displayed a Monroney sticker on car windows highlighting its 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan had achieved the highest safety ratings in certain categories by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). GM later disclosed to car owners that the vehicles had not received the 5-star ratings. In addition to Clark Fountain, the class action is being represented by South Florida law firms, Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP and Liggio Benrubi PA.
According to the complaint, through its false representations, GM has violated the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practice Act (FDUTPA). GM unjustly profited at the expense of the plaintiff and members of the class. In addition, the plaintiff and class members suffered damages due to the significant decrease in automobile value.
"Our client, along with all other innocent consumers, have protection from the state of Florida against automotive companies touting safety claims for this exact reason; not only has GM decreased the value of vehicles for Florida residents, they have given them a false sense of security as safety was clearly a paramount buying decision," said partner, W. Hampton Keen.
In December 2013, Carriuolo purchased a 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan, which had a standard Monroney sticker representing that the car had achieved 5-star ratings-the highest NHTSA rating available-in three different categories: Frontal Crash Driver, Frontal Crash Passenger and Rollover. Four-and-a-half months later, Carriuolo received a letter from GM stating that the information provided on the Monroney sticker was false, and the 2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan had received no safety ratings.
Consumers who think they might be eligible to join the class action suit should call attorney W. Hampton Keen 561.899.2100. For more information about the law firm of Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather, Keen & Littky-Rubin, please visit www.clarkfountain.com.

Yahoo! Buzz promises to squash spammers with a team of spam cops: the Yahoo! Buzz Editors.
Yahoo! has a team of editors who program links on Yahoo.com. These same editors will now be reviewing all top-ranked stories on Yahoo! Buzz for possible feature placement on Yahoo.com homepage.
How many? Your guess is as good as mine. Yahoo doesn't share specific numbers on the size of their teams. Or their secret identities.
During the initial beta Yahoo! tested with a limited group of publishers that represented a broad range of content types, large and small. How you can get in the game:
Yahoo will open up to more publishers over the course of the beta. Interested publishers can join the mailing list via this link for updates.
Here's how Yahoo plans to keep spammers out and their buzzworthy results from being manipulated:
Users will need to login to Yahoo to vote which should help keep spammers out. Yahoo! Buzz plans to insure the integrity of the votes by combining user voting on-and-off network with a proprietary search ranking algorithm.
From initial Buzz results, very little censorship and keyword cleansing.
PopSugar and GiggleSugar join the entertainment category eaderboard dominated by Yahoo O&O properties. Voting? Fast and furious.
So what do Yahoo! Buzzters yodel?
Warning: Adult Content including the V-C words after the jump ...
Yahoo Buzz! omg!: "Fonda, The C-Word," "V-A-G-I-N-A" on The Today Show? You bet.
GiggleSugar scored 1,000 buzz points with that one in a closed beta.
A vid of Letterman's Top 10 Jane Fonda excuses for using the four letter word didn't hurt.

Safeguarding Your Information
Target Security Breach
As most of you know, Target stores recently reported a significant data breach. This security breach compromises the data of all Target Credit Cards and Debit Cards issued. This compromise also poses a risk to any consumer who used any credit card or debit card at any Target location between November 27, 2013 and December 15, 2013. As a precaution, Pelican State Credit Union has issued new Pelican VISA Credit Cards and Debit Cards to members who are at risk because they used their cards at Target during that timeframe.
Members should carefully review their statements. If there are any unfamiliar transactions, please contact us immediately and we will be happy to dispute them for you.
- Pelican has reissued all VISA Credit Cards and Debit Cards used at a Target between November 27, 2013 and December 15, 2013. You should receive your card within 7 - 10 business days.
- You must activate and begin using your new Pelican VISA Credit Card or Debit Card before January 16, 2014. After this date, your old card will no longer work and your purchases will be declined.
- As soon as you activate your new VISA Credit Card or Debit Card, call 1-800-682-6075 to block your old card instantly. Please cut up the old card and throw it away.
- Some members have requested to keep their old VISA Debit Card or Credit Card. Unfortunately, Pelican will not be able to honor this request. We must issue a new card to anyone who was affected by the compromise; failure to issue new cards will put the member's account at risk, as well as Pelican.
- According to Target, purchases made online at www.target.com were not compromised; only credit cards and debit cards used for in store purchases are at risk.
- For questions regarding you Target Red Card, please call Target directly at 1-866-852-8680.
- Pelican is diligently monitoring VISA Credit Card and Debit Card information exposed to this compromise to ensure it is not being used for fraudulent transactions. We ask that members carefully review their statements. If there are any unfamiliar transactions, please contact us immediately and we will be happy to dispute them for you.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please click here to contact us online or call 1-800-351-4877.
More Scams Resulting from Target Compromise
The Federal Trade Commission, in a blog, said that scammers claiming to be Target are sending out phony Target emails pretending to help those with compromised cards. Instead, the scammers "actually want to trick you into giving them your personal information. And they are skilled at making the emails look real," said FTC (OnGuardOnline.gov Dec. 23). FTC advised anyone getting an email claiming to be from Target to do two things:
1. If the email asks for personal or financial information, assume it is a scam. Don't reply. No legitimate business will ask for personal information through unsecure methods like email.
2. If there are links in the email, don't click on them, even if they seem legitimate. Scammers can use links to install viruses that direct you to spoof sites that aim to steal information. Hovering over a link can reveal a deliberately misspelled Web address or a completely different destination. "Your best bet is to type the URL directly into your browser," FTC said.
Safeguarding Your Information
In today's high tech world, we are able to do things more quickly and conveniently electronically whether it is to send a letter via email, pay bills or even go shopping online. With this increase in speed and convenience also comes increased risk. Every day, unscrupulous individuals are busy developing new scams targeting the unsuspecting public. At Pelican State Credit Union, the security of member information is a priority. We are strongly committed to the safety and confidentiality of your records. One of the best ways to avoid fraud is to become an educated consumer and we would like to help you in this endeavor. Please take a moment to read this important information on ways to try and stay safe when conducting business online.
How to Keep Yourself Safe in Cyberspace
An important part of online safety is knowledge. The more you know, the safer you'll be. Here are some great tips on how to stay safe in cyberspace:
1. Set good passwords. A good password is a long combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers and one that is not easily guessed. Change your password frequently. Don't write it down or share it with others.
2. Don't reveal personal information via email. Emails and text messages can be masked to look like they are coming from a trusted sender when they are actually from someone else. Play it safe, do not send your personal information such as account numbers, social security numbers, passwords etc. via email or texting.
3. Don't download that file! Opening files attached to emails can be dangerous especially when they are from someone you don't know as they can allow harmful malware or viruses to be downloaded onto your computer. Make sure you have a good antivirus program on your computer that is up-to-date.
4. Links aren't always what they seem. Never log in from a link that is embedded in an email message. Criminals can use fake email addresses and make fake web pages that mimic the page you would expect. To avoid falling into their trap, type in the URL address directly and then log in.
5. Web sites aren't always what they seem. Be aware that if you navigate to a Web site from a link you don't type, you may end up at a site that looks like the correct one, when in fact it's not. Take time to verify that the Web page you're visiting matches exactly with the URL that you'd expect.
6. Logoff from sites when you are done. When you are ready to leave a site you have logged in to, logoff rather than just closing the page.
7. Monitor account activity. Monitor your account activity regularly either online or by reviewing your monthly statements and report any unauthorized transactions right away.
8. Assess your risk. We recommend periodically assessing your online banking risk and put into place increased security controls where weaknesses are found; particularly for members with business accounts. Some items to consider when assessing your online banking risk are:
- Who has access to your online business accounts?
- How and where are user names and passwords stored?
- How strong are your passwords and how often are they changed? Are they changed before or immediately after terminating an employee who had access to them?
- Do you have dual controls or other checks and balances with respect to access to online banking transactions?
What to Expect From Pelican State Credit Union
· Pelican State Credit Union will NEVER call, email or otherwise contact you and ask for your user name, password or other online banking credentials.
· Pelican State Credit Union will NEVER contact you and ask for your credit or debit card number, PIN or 3-digit security code. Please see below for more information about how our card providers, Jack Henry (Pemco) and Pulse, approach customer service calls.
Credit Cards & Debit Cards
Our card providers, Jack Henry (Pemco) and Pulse, may identify themselves as Card Member Services. They will never ask for your card number, expiration date or CVC (security) code.
They will:
· Verify your street address.
· Verify the last four digits of your Social Security Number.
They may:
· Ask for the last four digits of your card number.
· Ask to verify the amount of your last transaction or payment.
If you are uncomfortable with the call, please hang up and call them back on the 800 number of the back of your card.
Rights and Responsibilities
With respect to online banking and electronic fund transfers, the Federal government has put in place rights and responsibilities for both you and the credit union. These rights and responsibilities are described in the Account Information Disclosures you received when you opened your account with Pelican State Credit Union. Ultimately, if you notice suspicious account activity or experience security-related events, please contact the credit union immediately at 1-800-351-4877.

Gender, education and reciprocal generosity: Evidence from 1,500 experiment subjects
AbstractThere is not general consensus about if women are more or less generous than men. Although the number of papers supporting more generous females is a bit larger than the opposed it is not possible to establish any definitive and systematic gender bias. This paper provides new evidence on this topic using a unique experimental dataset. We used data from a field experiment conducted under identical conditions (and monetary payoffs) in 6 Latin American cities, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Lima, Montevideo and San José. Our dataset amounted to 3,107 experimental subjects who played the Trust Game. We will analyze the determinants of behavior of second movers, that is, what determines reciprocal generosity. In sharp contrast to previous papers we found that males are more generous than females. In the light of this result, we carried out a systematic analysis of individual features (income, education, age, etc.) for females and males separately. We found differential motivations for women and men. Third, we see that (individual) education enhances pro-social behavior. Lastly, we see that subjects' expectations are crucial.

You just can't fix stupid. And sometimes that's a good thing. It's doubtful that Codey Everhart, a 22-year-old Missouri man charged with raping a 13-year-old girl, will ever be admitted to Mensa. And it's because of his idiocy -- not to mention his alleged despicable crime -- that Codey was arrested.
Reportedly, Codey asked to use the bathroom in the house of a teen girl in his neighborhood and when she complied, he forced himself on her and raped her. The girl reportedly ran from the house and sought help at a friend's house. As it often goes with these crimes, Codey was trying to say that the girl had invited him over -- and that he'd never raped her. But his text messages tell a different story.
Clearly, Codey, who also happens to be the father of a 4-year-old daughter, must have known the family, because he apparently had the girl's mom's cellphone number. And after his alleged rape, he began to get worried that he might, uh, you know, be in trouble. He wrote to the girl's mom:
Omg im so sorry ... it was the biggest mistake IV ever made plz I'm sorry plz don't call the cops ... Ihave kids ... plz I will do whatever u want I'm so sor ry handsome sacred I shouldv never said yes when she asked me to come over And scared* I'm so scared ... I'm so sorry mam ... I sware off girls altogthe r ... plz I'm so sorry. plz say something??? Plz call me mam I'm so scared right now I feel like my whole world is gona crash dwon on me . And I'm worried ima loose my daugthers ... plz call or text plzzz
Welllllll ... so much for text message groveling. It didn't work, and the girl's mom called police. Codey has been arrested.
More from The Stir: Catholic School Tutor Accused of Having Sex With 15-Year-Old Boy After His Mom Finds Disturbing Photos
As baffling as it is that young people these days feel the need to share everything -- even their alleged crimes -- via social media and text messaging, we should be happy about it. It just keeps making the job of law enforcement that much easier. Apparently these people are under the impression that text messages fall into a black hole. But they don't.
Talk about things you shouldn't send by text message! An apology for raping your kid has got to be high on the list. Though let's be glad he did, as there's now evidence against him. As misspelled and nonsensical as it is some of the time ("handsome sacred"??), it still makes it clear that this guy knew he did something wrong.
He's going to have a lot more difficult time saying nothing happened when the written evidence -- as badly written as it is -- says otherwise.
Why do you think people text everything??
Image via Lee's Summit Police
Wow. What a fucking moron but thank God that he is such.
I would have beat him within an inch of his life and then turned him over to my husband and then we would have called the police.
I've never been so glad that someone was so stupid. Thanks for making it easier to throw your perverted ass in jail dude! And yes someone like that should not be able to raise children.
I'd lure him somewhere secluded and they would never find his body forget the cops
Ummm....first of all I believe that he was invited over. How would he have the mothers cell phone number? I agree that it went to far and that he deserves to go to jail but I DON'T think that girl is telling the truth. I think she really did invite him over to "make out" and if she lied that.....
Yeaaa . . . but that text message will probably be inadmissable in court. It's not incriminating. His lawyer could say the kid's dog shit in the lady's yard and he felt bad about it.
He didn't "admit" to anything, and she will still be subjected to a rape kit if she's pressing charges. You guys don't know much about the law do you?

Getting you set for the All Star Game….click the link above to hear some of the best "stuff" from Tuesday's Show.
Bruno, Morris & Molitor Talk '85 All-Star Game
The last time the All-Star Game was held in Minnesota in 1985, it featured just one Twins player. But it also had three St. Paul natives, giving the game a real hometown feel.
Twins Blog: All-Star Game Peanuts Statues
As the All-Star Game gets closer, Minneapolis' twin city, St. Paul, is getting into the action. Surrounded by school children, the Minnesota Twins unveiled new All-Star lineup of jersey-wearing Peanuts characters suited up for the midsummer classic. St. Paul's native M&M boys, Paul Molitor and Joe Mauer – both All-Star Ambassadors – were there to welcome two other St. Paul icons into the All-Star lineup: Snoopy and Charlie Brown.
Twins Blog: Mission Memories
Over four days in late January, the Starkey Hearing Foundation created miracle after miracle, by giving the gift of hearing to hundreds of people, young and old, living in the Dominican Republic. Starkey has been coming to the Dominican for 14 years, mostly in the capital Santo Domingo. The frequent trips are necessary because the humid, salty air affects hearing aids quicker than air in other places around the world.
Twins Blog: Molitor's Mission
When you think of a summer evening at the ballpark, a vibrant scene of sights and sounds will flood your mind. The roar of the crowd, the crack of a bat and the vendors shouting up and down the aisle. It all adds to the experience and magic of the game. However, some athletes experience the game in silence. They cannot hear.
Twins Blog: The First Starkey Mission
It's a hot, sticky day in the Dominican Republic and the clouds are rolling in. Hundreds of people have traveled to Santo Domingo for help because they can't hear well. A crew of 50 people are here for them.
Twins Blog: Paul Molitor, The Dominican Republic & Starkey
It's finally happening. After weeks and months of planning, the trip I've been dreaming about is now just days away. I can almost smell the warm, salty Caribbean air. And I can now share this exciting adventure with all of you.
Twins Add Paul Molitor To Major League Coaching Staff
The Minnesota Twins announced Tuesday morning that they've added a seventh coach to their staff, and it's a name with plenty of local flavor. Paul Molitor will join the staff as Twins officials said he will oversee base running, bunting, infield instruction and positioning and assist with game strategy.
St. Paulite Is A Disc Golf Star
Paul Molitor is a baseball legend. Joe Mauer is working on becoming the same. But there's a local athlete with ties to both of them who is better than both of them – at his sport, at least. Cale Leiviska is Molitor's nephew. "That's what I grew up doing was playing baseball," Leiviska said.
Paul Molitor Details Twins-Killebrew Hospice Event
Baseball Hall-of-Famer and Twins organization coach Paul Molitor joined Dave Lee on the WCCO Morning News Thursday.

i did what tons of black women across the world wouldnt imagine doing:
i went a month and a half without brushing or combing my hair
pretty awkward decision to just say fuck it to your hair, but it felt good and right.
and wouldnt you know it, i got 20+ dreads forming on their own with no direction.
Most of them tend to be the same size, but i have some cute small ones in the front.
it was really easy on account of my lazy and it feels kinda cool to have them now
Im incredibly fickle when it comes to my hair,
I kinda want it to be straight now
i started taking them out,
3 hours got two untangled =|
should i just leave them in?
or do have any tips to untangle them?

Boys & Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties announces the launch of the Summer Brain Gain program, a summer learning loss prevention program developed specifically for Boys & Girls Clubs.
Each summer, an estimated 43 million children in the U.S. miss out on expanded learning opportunities that could prevent them from falling behind before the next school year begins. During summer, most youth lose about two months' worth of math skills. Low-income youth also lose more than two months' worth of reading skills, while their middle-class peers make slight gains.
"Summer learning losses can stack up from year to year, causing low-income children to fall further and further behind, ultimately endangering their chances of high school graduation," said Freddy Williams, Chief Executive Officer. "We are committed to ensuring that our community's youth, especially those who need us most, graduate from high school on time with a plan for the future. That's why we are offering the Summer Brain Gain program to fight the detrimental effect of summer learning loss."
Summer Brain Gain is comprised of 17 one-week modules with fun, themed activities for elementary school, middle school and high school students. Supported by Disney, each module takes a project-based learning approach; youth engage in a process of learning through discovery, creative expression, group work and a final project or production. With modules topics such as "Green Team," "Wacky Watch" and "Connect the Dots," participants can make sculptures out of found objects, create weather in a bottle, or even learn how they are connected to the President of the United States of America.
Summer Brain Gain was pilot tested in more than 200 Clubs in 2013. While the average low-income U.S. student lost at least two months of learning last summer, the average Summer Brain Gain participant did not. Given this positive impact, Summer Brain Gain will be offered at 1,000 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country this summer, including Boys & Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties.
For more information about Summer Brain Gain, please visit www.greatfutures.org/braingain.

Let us take a look at the features and price-point of some of the best phablets available in the Indian market
The new term that is buzzing the entire tech industry is phablet. They say, ''phablets are the next smartphone''. Well, the confusion might has hit your mind already because of the inclusion of the word 'phablets' in the title. What is a phablet? Nothing! Just mix up with the words Phone and Tablet; you will get the result as phablet (some may call it Fhablet). Phablet is a device which has the screen size ranging from 5 to 7 inches. Some call it a hybrid denouement of both generation devices, which will take over the entire world to ransom in next few years. In simple words, Size of Phone < Size of phablet < Size of Tablet. However, choosing the best phablet out of the crowd, is not an easy task. So here is the list of best phablets in India.
High-price Android phablets
LG Optimus Vu: With the screen size of 5 inch and a bunch of amazing features, this one, from the house of LG, is shining at the very first place. Powerful 1.5 GHz quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version speak about the reason of being this phablet at the top. With good display quality and lightweight, it surely tops on the wish list of many. 8 MP camera is quite enough to attract the photography freaks to try their hands on it.
Oh, Yes! 50GB free cloud service, that you get with LG Optimus Vu, is an extra plus point. It's klutzy 4:3 aspect ratio makes it squarish and looks somewhat ugly. Even, the cosmetics are nothing to boast about for LG. The plasticky body ensures that you will not fall in love at first sight. However, keeping all criticism aside, the LG Optimus Vu is definitely the powerful device that comes with a nice price tag. It is selling like a hot cake in Korea, which has forced them to release its successor in Optimus Vu 2.
Having known Indian crowds well, one can say that LG may not be able to repeat the same success by the likes of Galaxy Note, but that doesn't make it less enticing. It is just that Indian crowd like to cling to their favorite brand more often (probably, this is the reason why Nokia has still survived in the Indian market). Indians are known as the most loyal customers, and if LG manages to win their heart, there will be no looking for them in next few years. It is currently available online at around Rs.29,499.

Harry Potter and the Best Picture Summary (by HISHEdotcom)
Harry Potter: A Tribute to the Magic (by themanbatman)
This an amazing tribute to the Harry Potter films that everyone should see.
I like Harry/Ginny in the books, just not so much in the movies
Yeah, in the books it was setup so you could actually believe it. In the movies it just kind of happened out of nowhere. In the books they had actually spent time together. If you didn't read the books, I could totally see people thinking Hermione or Luna would be more suitable for Harry.
43% Ravenclaw, 44% Hufflepuff, 54% Slytherin and 59% Gryffindor!
You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;
Gryffindor's cardinal traits are bravery, pride, stubbornness and impulsiveness. Most people in the house of Gryffindor will be extraverted. (Remember, introversion is different than being shy: you can be a shy extrovert.) Gryffindors gain energy and life by being around people, grain strength from friends and enjoy working with those close to them. However, they are also emotionally volatile and can experience a wide range of feelings in a short amount of time, from unbridled happiness to deep depression to unrestrained rage. They are less emotionally stable than some of the other houses (such as Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff); Gryffindors are also impulsive. They're also generally good-hearted and trusting, and for the most part like people at first sight unless they are given a reason not to. Gryffindors are Prideful, bad at taking criticism and easilyget into conflicts with others—this is the main trait that would bring their overall level of agreeableness from high to average.
A Gryffindor's prideful nature coupled with their sense of justice and stubborn behavior causes them to be extremely set in their ways. They have a difficult time backing down from a fight or admitting that they are wrong. It's also very hard for them to get over a bad first impression or change their opinion on someone.

The Sustainable Coffee Program is a mainstream public/private consortium supported by IDH, major coffee industry representatives, trade and export partners, civil society organizations, governments and standard setting organizations.
As one of the world's most loved beverages, year on year global coffee consumption has grown steadily - particularly in emerging markets. At the same time, production has suffered from under-investment, poor production practices and adverse climatic conditions. As a result, production has remained below demand. In recent years, leading coffee roasters and national coffee associations have made serious commitments to increase sustainable sourcing. The Sustainable Coffee Program (SCP) will foster these ambitions and help support millions of farmers in the development of a sustainable coffee production system.
The ambition of the consortium is to drive sustainable green coffee sales from 8% to 25% by 2015. Through an innovative collaboration between stakeholders, and by aligning efforts, knowledge, standards and financial instruments, country specific approaches are developed to aid over 4 million coffee farmers in becoming more resilient, and to implement social and environmentally friendly coffee farming techniques. This will increase yield quality and quantity, and will also increase sustainable land use, helping to reduce poverty and protect the environment. The SCP is open and welcoming new members.

"My to-do list is so long today!"
How many times a day do you hear that? If you work in any business/corporate setting, probably a lot. People with long, neat to-do lists are important. They are on top of it. They are who you want to be.
Too bad this is such a facade.
The to-do list has become more of a symbol for being organized and productive than an actual tool to aid in productivity. People write long lists and take care of a bunch of the little, lower-level tasks that are quick to handle, because it looks "cool" to have a lot of the boxes checked or tasks marked through.
But at the end of the day, the important tasks are often left unattended to. Sure, you may have updated your email signature, nominated a co-worker for an appreciation award and updated your profile on LinkedIn. However, the PowerPoint for your presentation needs to be ready tomorrow. The baby tasks are done, yet the most important presentation of your week has been relegated to being finished in panic mode.
The issue here is not laziness (for most). It is a lack of prioritizing. You may think that simply by making a to-do list, that you are prioritizing. But you are not. Just having stuff to do does not make you a master of your time. If you are a living, breathing human with a job and any resemblance of a family and/or social life, you have stuff to do. Join the club. The people who are productive at doing that "stuff" are the ones who prioritize. A great place to start practicing prioritization is with your to-do lists.
1) Bucket your list
If you are not assigning some sort of importance values to items on your list to indicate their importance, the to-do list has become a laundry list of maybes. I like to write out a do list and highlight the most important, highest value-add items for the day. Other people but an "A" "B" OR "C" next to tasks to indicate which ones are most important. Find the method that works for you. Just make sure you have clearly identified what is truly most important. Time is finite, especially time for work, and your goal should be to always be completing the tasks that add the most value at that point in time.
2) Be open to change and shifting priorities
Just because something was the most important task yesterday does not mean it is the most important task today. Even though one purpose of a to-do list is to help your focus in, you still must retain the ability to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. What is the long term goal for this project? What is the strategic direction for the company? To some people, especially entry-level employees like many of us, this may seem silly. I mean, regardless of the strategic direction of the company for the next year, my boss, who writes my review, still needs this report today. That may be true, but being so zoomed in on the day-to-day tasks means that you will never be aware enough of the big picture to contribute when the discussion is surrounding the larger strategy. Anyone can be an excel king or queen. You can add the most value by handling those "smaller" tasks well AND being able to gleam clear take-aways for yourself from larger-picture discussions. Be ready to change the priorities on your list as major shifts occur in the larger scope of work.
3) Do it
This seems stupid, but has to be said. You can have the perfect to-do list: prioritized and full of tasks that relate directly to major projects or initiatives. But if you don't buckle down and do it, and do it in a timely manner, you have wasted your effort in even creating a list. Figure out what you need to do to block distractions. Do you need music? Do you need to hide your iPod? Do you need to install software that blocks Facebook, Twitter or Instagram ? Do you need to close your e-mail for an hour, to get a block of uninterrupted work in? Test and learn, figure it out, and watch your productivity go through the roof.
How do you prioritize your to-do lists?

Mr Wombat got my vote. The concept is good and it fits the bill of robot-king. It looks royal and imposing.

Voted dile, incredibly professional image, nice job!
Dile got my vote, this is his best digital piece ever
my vote went to plate, I feel like it's really a step up from his normal entries and fits the topic perfectly. dile would be in second since it's just such a nice piece but I dont see the king part in it. bendragon and pixeldragoon get honorable mentions since I love the color pallets they ued.
voted sloth... although I wish he would reduce his file size a bit... I had to scroll and crisp up the milkyness in the background....otherwise nice job
Special mention to Plate whose piece is very well rendered

pwnage i got 3 votes,
plate: urs was my fav, only one that had a nice environment, and that counts for alot
I voted for Pixel...cause it's purty.

hehe. my vote goes to luxun, i feel his piece got overlooked? its witty and well executed...and it deserves a vote just for the small animation..I also enjoyed Blogs, Diles and plates.
My SketchBook
Voted for invinciblewombat.
I really liked the fact that he didn't went for an anthropomorphic robot, his design is imo the most original and it communicates clearly the idea of "monarchy", it would even if that little crown wasn't there, it really looks "aristocratic". It could be a bit more polished, but it's really good.
I liked luxun's piece a lot too, I love that "solitude" feeling it has.
Great work overall guys!
Dangit! Missed out on this one too.
I voted for Luxun, but Dile was a veeery close second. I think it could have used something more to set scale by, and I also think you overdid the texture.
Good job everyone! I'll try and get in the next one, but no promises.

new topic?
goooo luxun.
some thoughts...
evil sloth- very ambitious and nice-looking piece. i think if the girl and the 2 robots on the left were better it would be a winnar.
narmo- cool idea and great composition. lose the text tho and maybe add some more graphic elements? like wires in the foreground, something like that.
pixel- i think it would be cooler if the blue dots on the top left were gone- they really bug me for some reason.
dile- think you could push the light and dark more. maybe on the left side of the robot some stronger highlightd and overall brightness while the right side has some heavy shadow, some parts blending in with the darkness of the cave.
ben- the graphic gear designs on the bottom of his cape are dope, wish you would have used that more throughout the whole piece.
Lohan-Luxun-Prophet-Bendragon-dan liimatta-Evil Sloth
Cool paintings everyone :9!
Voted Luxun :9. I really love this piece. It's very very adorable, who says Robot Kings need to be big bad and mean! Very nice job with the lighting (and the glow effect on the lamp is neat too ).
Just my two cents, hope you guys don't mind the crits :
jake - Very nice brush stroke use I also think your choice of colour (I esp like the titanium white with those blues and purples) works really well here. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the camera, but you might try a brighter yellow/orange color and more circular brush strokes in the air around the crown... Though the orange works great against the robot king dude, against the blue it looks a bit murky and more like there's a brown patch in the sky (if that's what it's supposed to be then ignore me lol). Maybe adding some deep purple to the volcano? in the background would also help to balance the colours. Great job though .
Narmo - Really digging the saturated red/white/blue/black. Is the guy up front dancing? lol.
Blog - Well executed, but it actually took me a few minutes to figure out what part of the king was robotic... I thought the legs under him was really just some kind of skirt/kilt lol. This is partly because the texture you use for the background is used for the legs an arms, and partly because you've used a white contour line to delineate the figure from the hands-up... but not the waist down...
Pixeldragon - Cute XD!

Anyone who blames the tools they use as an excuse for why their art isn't as good as others' won't get anywhere in life. I'm sure even Bernini could make art that would floor us all with a pile of playdough.

Where Is God When Bad Things Happen?
- Wednesday, September 12, 2001
On Tuesday morning, the nation of America wept -- and continues to weep. We truly live in a tragic world.
How does the God of the Bible relate to these tragedies? Where is He when they occur? Can we continue to believe in a loving God who would permit such terrible things to happen?
These are important questions. Gods Word teaches:
1. Accidents and even mayhem are a part of life in a fallen world.
The moment Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, they brought sin into the world¾and deadly accidents and murderous acts soon followed. Cain, the very first human baby, grew up to become the very first human murderer (see Genesis 4:1-8). And accidents have plagued human kind ever since the race was driven from Eden.
No one is exempt, not even the most godly. I doubt few would question that the apostle Paul was one of the most effective and dedicated Christian workers in history, yet his life was peppered with serious accidents until it finally ended under the blade of a Roman executioner.
Paul suffered through at least as many accidents and hardships as any of us ever will, and yet their painful occurrence never shook his confidence in a good, loving God. Why not?
Unlike us, Paul did not see tragedy as prima facie evidence against the existence of a compassionate heavenly Father. In fact, he could write, for Christs sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). Dont misunderstand; Paul was no masochist. He didnt delight in hardships and accidents because he enjoyed pain. No, he meant that when life overwhelmed him, he knew God would step in to help. Paul delighted in his own weakness because it was that weakness that gave God the opportunity to display to the world His own irresistible strength. And for that Paul was grateful.
Jesus, too, told us to expect pain and difficulties in this life. In this world you will have trouble, He warned His disciples in John 16:33. And to the public at large, He said this about the future: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places (Matthew 24:7). It isnt a pleasant thought, but thats the way life is sometimes in this fallen world. It may shock us, but it shouldnt surprise us.
Tragedies are always agonizing and often senseless. But thank God, that is not where the story ends.
2. God is in control, even when it doesnt seem as if He is.
Events never spiral out of Gods control, as if He somehow lacks the power or insight to direct the affairs of our little planet. That is why the apostle Paul, a man who knew intimately the pain of a fallen world, could tell the ancient Athenians, The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth . . . .From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:24-27).
The Bible insists that God is sovereign, that His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation. . . . He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: What have you done? (Daniel 4:34-35). Even when tragedies occur and innocent life is taken or maimed, God remains in ultimate control. Nothing happens that does not first pass through his loving hands.
We may not fully understand how this can be when we face painful tragedies, but our lack of understanding does not diminish or destroy its truth. Before we were born, God knew exactly how long we would live and how we would die. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be, the psalmist said to God in Psalm 139:16. And that remains true whether those days are many or few.
3. God has a purpose in what He allows, even if we dont know what it is.
From our perspective, tragedies look meaningless and senseless and chaotic, but God knows how to take even tragedies and bring good out of them. Although I do not believe that God causes all tragedies¾the Bible says He is incapable of sin¾I do believe He has a purpose in allowing painful events to occur. Nothing that happens is a mad, meaningless accident. We may not understand what His purposes are, but we can take comfort in the fact that they exist. God specializes in taking evil and bringing good out of it.
Does the Lord cause some to die so the lives of others could be spared and the souls of still others might be better? No. God is not a murderer. But He does know how to take tragedy and bring good out of it. When we get home to heaven, we will finally see His purposes even in the tragedies of life. Meanwhile, we must continue to believe that He does have a purpose in everything that happens¾even if right now we are unable to see a shadow of what that might be.
4. Tragedy can serve as a wake-up call.
Oxford professor C.S. Lewis wrote years ago that pain is Gods megaphone to a deaf world. In that way, some tragedies may serve as wake-up calls for spiritually sleeping people.
A stubborn, secular, and even blasphemous society sometimes will be stopped short only when a tragedy of national proportions takes place. In the flood of the media reports, sometimes redemptive truth gets out.
In a way, tragedy is a big reason why the cross and crucifixion of Christ still grip our imagination (even those who reject the Gospel). There is something so profound about Calvary that even people whose religion has nothing to do with Christianity, even people who reject Christ both intellectually and verbally, nevertheless are gripped by the story.
Thank God, perhaps, that He allows tragedy to so grab people. But what a shame that it takes such a horrendous wake-up call for us to open our sleepy eyes.
5. It is possible to embrace hope even in the midst of tragedy.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to endure a tragedy without the hope that God offers. Without Jesus Christ, there is no hope. There is simply an eternal, black, cold, and unrelenting void.
Just last week I came face to face with a cynical man who didnt believe in anything. What a miserable way to end life. I think unbelievers must, from time to time, wish that they had the hope of eternal life and a home in heaven. But of course, they have no such thing. Instead they have cynicism.
Of course, we Christians grieve when those we love are taken from us, but we do not grieve as those who have no hope. We do not believe that people cease to exist (except as memories) when they die; the Bible tells us that we will again see all those loved ones who put their faith in Christ. As the apostle Paul writes, Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who die, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have died in him (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).
Thank God, some atheists come to recognize their hopelessness and turn from it. A distant relative of mine who for almost seventy years claimed to be an atheist came to me one day and said, My dad was an atheist. Ive always claimed to be an atheist. But now Im reading the Bible and trying to get insights, and Luis, if theres a God, I want to know Him. If theres eternal life, I want to have it. Can you help me? At least he was honest, but he waited far too long to find the hope he lacked.
Hope is readily available to all of us, even in the midst of tragedy. And not only hope for eternal life and hope of being reunited with those we love. Hope is available right now, square in the middle of tragedy, because God has promised to walk with us through any disaster that might overtake us.
6. This world is not our final home.
When loved ones die in tragic accidents or at the hands of wicked men, it is good to remember that this world is not our final home.
We were created for eternity, and tragedy can never change that. This is only a transition period, a prelude, to what God really has in mind for us. But because we usually look only at the present, we often consider someones death premature or untimely. Our perspective is enormously limited. We tend to look only at what could have been (and in our minds, should have been) down here on earth. But God looks at all of eternity. If we are to cope with tragedy, we must learn to look at it through eternitys lens.

Even though I have never lived on campus, as a freshman coming in, living in the dorms is one of the best ways to meet people, get involved and excel in school. I say this because moving to college is a life changer and you're not alone. Moving away is hard and it's even more of a challenge to make new friends sometime. Being a part of an atmosphere like that with other people is an amazing way to meet people.
Also, take school seriously! Although college is a place to have fun and experience new things, your parents or you pay a lot of money for you to be here. Being active in school is going to bring you great success in the future.
Hello, my name is Christopher. I grew up in Redford Township on the east side of Michigan, which is about 10 minutes out from Detroit. There are two high schools in Redford, one being Redford Thurston High School where I spent my four years being a proud Thurston Eagle and bleeding the white and blue colors. And Redford Union, which was our big rival. Between the two schools we enjoyed nothing more than competition for bragging rights, whether it was in school sports or a pickup game on the weekend. I graduated from Thurston in 2011 and set my eyes on Western Michigan University. But before that, I studied for a year at Schoolcraft Community College, where I took some pre requisites and thought about my major.
Out of high school I planned to attend Michigan State and swim for them, but after being so into airplanes I set my ambitions on flying planes. I came and took a tour of the amazing aviation campus here at Western Michigan University in Battle Creek. I loved it so much that I decided I wanted to take my talents into the aviation program. After a year of community college, I transferred to Western ready to get my career track started. Three days before class started I decided that aviation was not the best fit anymore for various reasons. After changing my mind on my major two times, I have settled down in business. I like what a business career has to offer for me and I am excited to be a part of it. The Business College is a well know institution here at Western Michigan and after the professors I have had I would recommend the Business College here to any one in search of a great education.
College life has been a thrill ride for me so far. Right off the bat, after getting accepted into Western Michigan University, I decided to live off campus. Living off of campus has been great for me and it fits my type of personality. My first semester here I knew I wanted to get involved but never knew how. Looking things up and talking to friends who were already in organizations took me to the next level. During my second semester here I was hired to be a Student Ambassador, which is an amazing job to hold on campus. Inside the role of being a Student Ambassador one of my coworkers and friend asked me to rush Phi Gamma Delta. I was very interested in going Greek life and after meeting the guys of FIJI (Phi Gamma Delta) I was hooked and knew that I wanted to share the bond of brotherhood with them. As my free time goes, I enjoy working out and being outside. One of the best ways of getting stress out is heading down to the student recreation center and hitting the gym.
