Armed and ready
Nine ways technology is impacting your manned security force
Weingarten Realty Deploys Manpower Management System
As director of corporate security for shopping center owner and developer Weingarten Realty, Bill Strother's responsibilities extend to more than 400 properties. When serious situations occur, he needs immediate information in order to take actions that will mitigate damage and assure Weingarten Realty's tenants that the company is doing what it can to provide an environment where their safety and that of their customers is a priority.
The former system of reporting such events - which could occur anywhere across the three time zones of the 23 U.S. states in which Weingarten Realty operates - was paper-based, manually filed or passed up the chain of command by security team members.
"Information is power," the former police officer says. "But if a security officer forgot to notify his supervisor, or the supervisor decided not to call me at 2 a.m., because, in his estimation, it wasn't that severe and nothing needed to be done immediately, there were unnecessary delays."
Things came to a head when he was going through incident reports on his desk one day and learned about a significant event for the first time - two or three weeks after it had occurred. Strother was aware that other actions could have been taken, if he had known about it sooner.
He called G4S, his main security provider. G4S has had a national contract to provide secure solutions at 90 percent of Weingarten Realty retail properties since 2001.
When G4S determined the perfect solution to speed up the transmission of information was not available, they created it. The result was the introduction of Secure Trax, a security management enterprise software platform enabling end-users to have real-time feedback on what is happening in their businesses. The system uses customized PDAs to revolutionize incident reporting.
What began as a digital reporting device slowly developed, stage-by-stage, into a mobile phone with GPS tracking added, as well as having a camera, e-mail functionality, text messaging, a panic alarm, time-and-attendance recording and the ability to read bar codes as part of an advanced guard tour and facility inspection system.
For three years, Weingarten Realty and G4S tested the system, refining and improving it, before it was unveiled to the industry and began its roll-out to other customers.
The system has exceeded Strother's initial demands and provides him with new risk management tools. Now, for example, G4S custom protection officers can use the system to capture images of reported problem areas - from pot holes and leaking sprinklers to abandoned cars - forwarding them from their PDAs via e-mail to Weingarten Realty's property managers, who then send the pictures on to contractors, speeding up response times and reducing the threat of costly litigation in some cases.
"We had a safety awareness meeting at one of our shopping centers and someone complained that they never saw the security officer who was supposed to be patrolling," Strother recalls. "I took out my computer, pulled up the Website, went to the previous day and showed them the tracking of that officer, which is recorded via the Secure Trax geo fencing and tracking capability. It showed he had covered that entire center and he couldn't have done it any better. The center's management and its tenants were impressed that we had that capability and it restored their confidence in the security arrangements."

Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® is the leader in carpet cleaning in Aubrey, with an unmatched standard of excellence.
Oxi Fresh is so much more than Aubrey's carpet cleaning expert! In addition to wall to wall carpet cleaning in Aubrey, we also clean area rugs, upholstery, and tile and grout. Our low moisture application process uses non-toxic cleaning agents and is ideal for stain and odor removal, especially in homes with pets. Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning's® fast one hour dry time allows you to call your local Aubrey carpet cleaning franchise for emergency cleanings any time, perhaps to prepare your home for a last minute get together, or to freshen it up for your in laws who decided to drop by unexpectedly (see our Aubrey carpet cleaning coupons for year-round specials).
If using green, environmentally friendly products is important to you, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® is the company to choose. We use only all natural cleaning agents, which help maintain a healthier indoor environment for your family by removing allergens, contaminants, dust mites and soils from your home. In addition, we use less water with our nearly dry carpet cleaning to ensure your carpet is never soaking wet and always dries soft with no crunchy residue or buildup; this eliminates the possibility of mildew or mold developing beneath the surface of your carpet. Together, these factors have lead Oxi Fresh to become the leading Aubrey GA commercial carpet cleaner.
Oxi Fresh is committed to providing green and environmentally friendly Aubrey carpet cleaning services. Each of our Oxi Fresh Aubrey carpet cleaning franchises employ innovative and high tech equipment, including state-of-the-art cleaning brushes and a low moisture application process that uses non-toxic cleaning agents. This non-toxic cleaning solution is safe for children and pets, and dries soft with no crunchy residue. Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® is the perfect choice if you are looking for a powerful Aubrey GA carpet cleaner.
Why use a steam clean or spin bonnet method? Steam cleaning relies on large amounts of water and chemicals to clean the carpet and can take 24 hours or longer to dry? This heavy saturation leaves your carpet pad vulnerable to mold and mildew developing. The spin bonnet method is unable to pull dirt and oily grime out of the carpet, and actually pushes it deeper into the carpet pile. Aubrey carpet cleaning customers are thankful to have found Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning®. We use pile lifting technology to effectively remove the dirt and oils from the bottom of your carpet pile and our method leaves your carpets dry in just about an hour.
Whether you need one or ten rooms cleaned, Oxi Fresh's biodegradable, organic Aubrey carpet cleaning services can get the job done! Scheduling a cleaning couldn't be easier – just call your local Oxi Fresh of Aubrey GA carpet cleaning franchise today for a free estimate over the phone. Don't forget to ask about our current Aubrey carpet cleaning coupons designed to help save you money. Protect your family's health and extend the life of your carpet with Oxi Fresh's green carpet cleaning in Aubrey.

In the city of Lovecraft, the Proctors rule and a great Engine turns below the streets, grinding any resistance to their order to dust. The necrovirus is blamed for Lovecraft's epidemic of madness, for the strange and eldritch creatures that roam the streets after dark, and for everything that the city leaders deem Heretical--born of the belief in magic and witchcraft. And for Aoife Grayson, her time is growing shorter by the day.
Aoife Grayson's family is unique, in the worst way--every one of them, including her mother and her elder brother Conrad, has gone mad on their 16th birthday. And now, a ward of the state, and one of the only female students at the School of Engines, she is trying to pretend that her fate can be different.
From the Hardcover edition.
Chapter One
The Ashes of the World
There are seventeen madhouses in the city of Lovecraft. I've visited all of them.
My mother likes to tell me about her dreams when I visit. She sits in the window of the Cristobel Charitable Asylum and strokes the iron bars covering the glass like they are the strings of a harp. "I went to the lily field last night," she murmurs.
Her dreams are never dreams. They are always journeys, explorations, excavations of her mad mind, or, if her mood is bleak, ominous portents for me to heed.
The smooth brass gears of my chronometer churned past four-thirty and I put it back in my skirt pocket. Soon the asylum would close to visitors and I could go home. The dark came early in October. It's not safe for a girl to be out walking on her own, in Hallows' Eve weather.
I called it that, the sort of days when the sky was the same color as the smoke from the Nephilim Foundry across the river, and you could taste winter on the back of your tongue.
When I didn't immediately reply, my mother picked up her hand mirror and threw it at my head. There was no glass in it--hadn't been for years, at least six madhouses ago. The doctors wrote it into her file, neat and spidery, after she tried to cut her wrists open with the pieces. No mirrors. No glass. Patient is a danger to herself.
"I'm talking to you!" she shouted. "You might not think it's important, but I went to the lily field! I saw the dead girls move their hands! Open eyes looking up! Up into the world that they so desperately desire!"
It's a real shame that my mother is mad. She could make a fortune writing sensational novels, those gothics with the cheap covers and breakable spines that Mrs. Fortune, my house marm at the Lovecraft Academy, eats up.
My stomach closed like a fist, but my voice came out soothing. I've had practice being soothing, calming. Too much practice. "Nerissa," I said, because that's her name and we never address each other as mother and daughter but always as Nerissa and Aoife. "I'm listening to you. But you're not making any sense." Just like usual. I left the last part off. She'd only find something else to throw.
I picked up the mirror and ran my thumb over the backing. It was silver, and it had been pretty, once. When I was a child I'd played at being beautiful while my mother sat by the window of Our Lady of Rationality, the first madhouse in my memory, run by Rationalist nuns. Their silent black-clad forms fluttered like specters outside my mother's cell while they prayed to the Master Builder, the epitome of human reason, for her recovery. All the medical science and logic in the world couldn't cure my mother, but the nuns tried. And when they failed, she was sent on to another madhouse, where no one prayed for anything.
Nerissa gave a snort, ruffling the ragged fringe above her eyes. "Oh, am I? And what would you know of sense, miss? You and those ironmongers locked away in that dank school, the gears turning and turning to grind your bones . . ."
I stopped listening. Listen to my mother long enough and you started to believe her. And believing Nerissa broke my heart.
My thumb sank into the depression in the mirror frame, left where an unscrupulous orderly had pried out a ruby, or so my mother said. She accused everyone of everything, sooner or later. I'd been a nightjar, come to drink her blood and steal her life, a ghost, a torturer, a spy. When she turned her rage on me, I gathered my books and left, knowing that we wouldn't speak again for weeks. On the days when she talked about her dreams, the visits could stretch for hours.
"I went to the lily field . . . ," my mother...

Yet another method of ejecting stuck CD/DVD media
That's the method that has served me well in the past. However, that was with cabled mice. Now I have a MagicMouse on bluetooth, not sure this would work ... still, I seem to rarely use optical disk media nowadays, more a USB memory stick user.

Definition of apatosaur in English:
apatosaurSyllabification: a·pa·to·saur

A huge herbivorous dinosaur of the late Jurassic period, with a long neck and tail. Also called brontosaur.
- Genus Apatosaurus (popularly Brontosaurus), infraorder Sauropoda, order Saurischia
More example sentences
- As Christians who reject evolutionary theory, the family scoffed at the park's dinosaur attractions, which date the apatosaurus, brachiosaurus and the like to prehistoric times.
- He said continuing research into the species is important because of larger evolutionary questions, including their relationship to the much larger sauropod dinosaurs, including brachiousaurus and apatosaurus.
- And one of the marvelous things God described to Job sounds very much like an apatosaurus.

Public Art in El Paso
What's all the fuss about?
by Paul Geneson, Freelance writer // October 21, 2014
When you look into the matter of public art in El Paso, you're struck by the contrasting voices: some are strident and disapproving, others are analytic and supportive.
Some examples:
"Public art creates a sense of place"
(Dionne Mack, Interim Director of Museums and Cultural Affairs)
"This is a very positive project"
(Patricia Dalbin, El Paso Public Art Director)
Then there are the voices on the other side:
"…the monstrosity that has appeared on Interstate 10 at the Airway exit"
"This thing looks like it was constructed by a manic pipe welder"
(Same letter writer to El Paso Times for both quotes, Kenneth Vaughn, on the same display)
"Whoever approved this so-called 'sculpture' should go back to school and take more
art appreciation classes"
(Letter to El Paso Times from writer Pete G. Flores, talking about I-10 art piece)

Profile: Javier and Terry Diaz
Reflections on El Paso, a great big city that never grew up
by Richard Baron // October 6, 2014
Sitting around their dining room table on a recent Saturday afternoon, Javier and Terry Diaz told their story to a stranger with a tape recorder.
Javier: I was born in El Paso in September of 1930, in Chihuahuita. Growing up there in Segundo Barrio we were isolated from the rest of El Paso. It was like a little village. Everybody knew each other, if not by name, by their face, because it was our community. We were always getting chased by the migra or police, and we had to run because some of the guys had pot.
Terry: I was born in 1934 in Phoenix. I had two brothers and a sister but now they're all gone. I'm the only one left. We moved to El Paso when I was six. We lived in Sunset Heights, and I went to school at St. Patrick's. More…

Pattaya People
Niels Colov, Drew Noyes in Angeles City, Philippines - Andrew Drummond
Andrew Drummond Bangkok PAPPA Co., Ltd., Pattaya People 14.11.2011
Pattaya businessmen visit Angeles City, Philippines to help join the two cities together and increase business. However, former "News of the World" tabloid newspaper journalist and one-man blogger Andrew Drummond falsely reported the Pattaya businessmen which included Niels Colov and Drew Noyes had gone to Angeles City Philippines for sex. Andrew Drummond knows all to well if guys want sex they can stay in Thailand. In reality, the Pattaya businessmen went to represent Pattaya City and to look for new opportunities to expand their businesses in the Philippines as the ASEAN Community will form in 2015 and includes both Thailand and the Philippines as community members.

Earth from Space: Siberian 'gecko' .
The gecko-shaped body of water featured in this Envisat radar image was formed by the Bratsk Reservoir in southeastern Siberia, Russia. The reservoir was formed in the 1960s by damming the Angara River to provide hydroelectric power. The dam, 125 m high and 4417 m wide, was built near the city of Bratsk (white area in the upper left). Agricultural crops can be seen along the southwestern side of the reservoir, including grains, potatoes and vegetables. (via ESA)

Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II, is seen further away from the confines and safety of his ship than any previous astronaut has ever been. This space first was made possible by the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU, a nitrogen jet propelled backpack. After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. This stunning orbital panorama view shows McCandless out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space. (02/12/1984)

Our Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers are absolutely spicy and delicious! But don't be afraid of the heat. The heat of our peppers is delicately balanced against the cool of our cheese stuffings and the crunch of our select breading. Make room to allow the pepper to play a big part in your appetizer menu.
We've been making Natural Onion Rings since the late 1950's. (None of the big guys were even in the business back then. Maybe they could learn from us!)

It may be the beer in our beer batter or the real Parmesan and Romano cheeses used in the Italian style breading we use for our zucchini. Perhaps it's the Japanese breadcrumbs used on our onion rings or it could be the cayenne pepper we so subtly introduce as a background flavor in a cheese item. It could even be the texture of coarse ground bread or the cumulative effect of a triple dipping and breading. Maybe even a quadruple dip! But in each and every case, you can be sure that we've found the extra special flavor combination which imparts a loving character to our appetizers.
Our appetizer offerings embrace a complete selection of cheese, Jalapeno pepper, onion ring and fresh vegetable products each one of which is further distinguished by its own lovingly-seasoned coating.

Tutorial for lustres and marbelizer
A quick and easy Tutorial for lustres and marbelizer as they are completed in 2 firings. This project is inspired by a creative thinking technique of looking for possibilities I've included some other examples of plates I've started and adapted the idea. In this first piece, the poppy flower was discovered from the lustred background after the decorative technique was completed…..
1) Clean your porcelain with methylated spirits.
2) Sponge Dark blue luster all over porcelain….I did not add lustre thinner.
3) While still wet, spatter with marbelizer. I dip an old toothbrush into marbelizer and run my finger along the wet brush and spatter it onto the porcelain. Make sure the brush is facing away from you. or you will spatter your eyes and face! I wear gloves!!!
4) You can see in the painting, there is a large white area. So I dampen a piece of folded paper towelling (I use handee ultra or viva- as there is no lint and they are thicker quality) into some methylated spirits and wipe out the shape of some poppy petals.
5) Allow to dry completely and fire at 750C.
6) Wipe over with plate with methylated spirits. Using a pen nib, paint the design of the poppy flower in liquid platinum. I used dot work, as this followed the desing element of 'spots' left behind by the marbeliser. Leaves are applied with a #3 round brush. Fire at 750-740C.
Here are two other plates where I've used the similar techniques to give you some more ideas…both are painted by using left over lustres from other projects…so that your lustres don't go to waste, I always have some pieces of porcelain that I can experiment with
The daisies on this piece are wiped out with a brush and dampened paper towelling and fired. The next firing will be adding platinum and gold penwork for definition.
This last piece…I have no idea!!! Like I said, I use left overs to experiment with for colour, textures and to push the boundaries of a product. One of the most important things I teach in my masterclasses is that while you can explore freedom and boundaries in art, you still must observe and record to make it purposeful and useful to develop you artwork further…keep a journal for this type of work, so that if you're happy with something- you'll remember how you did it!
If you have any questions, please ask in the comments below Check out more of my porcelain work in the gallery in the menu, or at my Ingrid Lee- Artist fan page.

Love your art work and creativity!! Tutorial is great! Loved so many of your pins on pinterest! Keep the good stuff coming!
I enjoyed this and so agree with you that pushing the boundaries is the way to progress. I need to keep better notes!
Oh, what a good idea for painting something in a short time….sure want to try it. Thanks for the lesson
Thank you, Ingrid. This is an excellent tutorial . . . how you did it so quickly amazes me. I can't wait to try the poppy in particular. Tomorrow is to be a day of lustering but I shall begin with your marbleizing creative technique. Wonderful!

Hannibal Art Meme↳ Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890)By the time of his death in 1890, Van Gogh's work had begun to attract critical attention. His paintings were featured at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris between 1888 and 1890 and with Les XX in Brussels in 1890. As Gauguin wrote to him, his recent works, on view at the Indépendants in Paris, were regarded by many artists as "the most remarkable" in the show; and one of his paintings sold from the 1890 exhibition in Brussels. In January 1890, the critic Albert Aurier published the first full-length article on Van Gogh, aligning his art with the nascent Symbolist movement and highlighting the originality and intensity of his artistic vision. By the outbreak of World War I, with the discovery of his genius by the Fauves and German Expressionists, Vincent van Gogh had already come to be regarded as a vanguard figure in the history of modern art.

Hannibal Art Meme↳ The Barbizon SchoolDespite differing in age, technique, training, and lifestyle, the artists of the Barbizon School collectively embraced their native landscape, particularly the rich terrain of the Forest of Fontainebleau. They shared a recognition of landscape as an independent subject, a determination to exhibit such paintings at the conservative Salon, and a mutually reinforcing pleasure in nature. Alfred Sensier, close friend and biographer of Barbizon painters Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet, wrote of the romantic attraction of the Forest of Fontainebleau: "They had reached such a pitch of over-excitement that they were quite unable to work… the proud majesty of the old trees, the virgin state of rocks and heath… all these intoxicated them with their beauty and their smell. They were, in truth, possessed." (x) (x) (x) (x)

Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 - February 6, 1918)
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objects d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body; his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Many of his paintings […] used gold leaf; the prominent use of gold can first be traced to Pallas Athene (1898) and Judith I (1901), although the works most popularly associated with this period are the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) and The Kiss (1907 - 1908). Klimt died […] in Vienna on February 6, 1918, having suffered a stroke and pneumonia due to the influenza epidemic of 1918. He was buried at the Hietzing Cemetery in Vienna. Numerous paintings were left unfinished. (x) (x)

Women in Refrigerators Syndrome describes the use of the death or injury of a female character as a plot device in a story starring a male character. Cases of it deal with a gruesome injury or murder of a female character at the hands of a supervillain, usually as a motivating personal tragedy for a male superhero to whom the victim is connected. The death or injury of the female character then helps cement the hatred between the hero and the villain responsible. (x)

The often outspoken Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks finally had something to say on the Donald Stern racist comments situation. In speaking with the Dallas Morning News he quickly condemned the words of Sterling saying, "there's no place for racism".
He was also quick to stifle knee-jerk reactions and no-tolerance punishments for a person's personal views. Mark Cuban's quote from DMN,
What Donald said was wrong. It was abhorrent. There's no place for racism in the NBA, any business I'm associated with, and I don't want to be associated with people who have that position.
But at the same time, that's a decision I make. I think you've got to be very, very careful when you start making blanket statements about what people say and think, as opposed to what they do. It's a very, very slippery slope.
Again, there's no excuse for his positions. There's no excuse for what he said. There's no excuse for anybody to support racism. There's no place for it in our league, but there's a very, very, very slippery slope.
If it's about racism and we're ready to kick people out of the league, OK? Then what about homophobia? What about somebody who doesn't like a particular religion. What about somebody who's anti-semitic What about a xenophobe?
In this country, people are allowed to be morons.
Cuban also offered a little insight into what kind of punishment might or might not be levied against the Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Cuban opened up about the mostly-secret bi-laws for owners and about what would justify the league removing an owner from the NBA. Cuban (and the Houston Rockets owner) agreed gambling is the only offence they knew of to justify removal.
As reported by Reason, Mark Cuban also told the paper he wanted maximum sanctions against Sterling and said the league would be better off without him. It sounds like a very severe penalty is in the works and Sterling may be on his way out even if the league doesn't officially remove him today.
The league is expected to address the Donald Sterling situation at 1PM CT

Timewerks Puts Mobile Billing Right to Work
Developer: Sorth LLC
Price: $3.99 Download on the App Store
Well-crafted billing apps for the iPhone and iPod touch are as hard to find as a sinner on Sunday, but Sorth's Timewerks: Mobile Billing is the best one I've come across.
The problem I have with most of these apps is that they are often tedious to use or lack essential features.
TimeWerks: Mobile Billing manages to cover all the bases, at least for solo workers such as freelance writers, lawyers, consultants, sales reps and other people who handle relatively small numbers of clients and projects at a time.
You can use Timewerks: Mobile Billing to track a multiple of clients and projects. One nice feature: If you already have a client's info in Contacts, the app will automatically suck up that info so you don't have to re-enter it.
As with any app of this genre, you can time your work, even when Mobile Billing is closed. You can also add notes to each project task, which can be handy for some projects. If a client missed a deadline and caused the job to fall behind schedule, for example, you might want to enter that into your notes.
As you would expect, you can create a variety of invoices, which include different rates for different tasks, factor in taxes and use different currencies to figure out the bottom line. Once the job is done, you can email the client an HTML-formatted invoice.
I also like that I'm able to export data to tab-delimited files over Wi-Fi using a Web browser. I might then want to import that data into Excel or another spreadsheet and create a more polished invoice.
Timewerks: Mobile Billing can be set up to integrate with Credit Card Terminal, if you wish to accept credit card payments. That's a separate app and it will cost you $49.99 to pick it up from the App Store.
Using Timewerks: Mobile Billing is intuitive for most tasks. There's a comprehensive help file, when you need it.
The main tasks are aligned on the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. If I have a small complaint, it's that the first item on the menu bar is for projects. I think that it's a bit confusing, given that the first thing you really need to do is set up a client list.
While it's useful to see what projects you're working on at a glance, I'd rather see whom I'm doing work for first. Putting that icon first on the menu seems more intuitive to me. It's a small thing, and I might be one of the few people whose mind works that way.
Timewerks: Mobile Billing is $4.99, and I think that's quite reasonable for the depth of functionality it provides.

http://rowsbeforehoes.tumblr.com/post/11937506933 right there, it says that EVERYONE can improve and I, OF COURSE, include myself in that. I have A LOT of work to do and A LOT of progress to make.
and I'm allowed to be proud of my time, even if you think it's bad. I dropped a lot of time to get that score.
as for being not knowledgeable… just because I haven't rowed for 5 years, doesn't mean I don't know the sport. Sure, i may not know it AS WELL as a lot of rowers, but I still know the sport. Anyways. Sorry that you have all these misconceptions about me, but if you message me un anon maybe we can talk and you can realize I'm not as ignorant as you think I am.

Organizers say between forty and 80,000 Russians demonstrated against recent parliamentary election results which observers, including former Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev, have dismissed as fraudulent.

Neglected dog found alive in trash bag
A small dog was found alive in a trash bag that was placed outside of someone's home in the Goodwood area on Friday, Sept. 21. Had the bag gone unnoticed a few minutes longer, that dog could have ended up in the back of a Waste Management truck. Fortunately, a volunteer with a local rescue organization happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Welcome to my world
My wife tends to keep a pretty low profile online, and has always shown remarkable resistance to my social media evangelism. But as of last night she's broken cover and written her first ever blog post for the BBC, where she has a regular writing gig for daytime drama Doctors. It's a great post, too. […]
Weekend project: A gang of pot heads…
…has started hanging out around in my back garden, much to the delight of my toddler son. You will need: Enamel paints, clean plastic pots, compost and small things that grow. Tree stumps optional. Inspiration for this one came from The Dad Manual (an ace book which I'm slightly ashamed to confess I bought for […]
Found Nemo
My son found him today in the aquarium at the Horniman and he hasn't even seen the film.
Geek is good!
My big sister didn't know I had a blog. She does now: Swiftly followed by: And look, she's using Tweetdeck! Go sis! (And hello, if you're reading this).
I'm living in a box
I'm living in a cardboard box. This is just some of the evidence of a weekend well spent. I also managed to plan my veg garden for 2009, more about which later this week.

The SOUL BASELINE LEVEL for Flawless Natural Living
Hey there,
You are not going to believe what I have in store for you Flawless Natural livers.
This is something that our RSD homeboy Ryan and I have been discussing at length lately and I decided it was time to be unleashed for you to think about as well.
This is HIGH LEVEL FLAWLESS NATURAL SKILLSET stuff here. The highest level concept of the FN living plan. To be honest I'm not sure if you can handle it yet… if you truly understand what I am teaching today then you and I are very much alike.
This is one of my favorite and probably one of the most important concepts you will need to understand if you want abundant success in dating beautiful women for the rest of your life.
Take a journey with me for a moment…
You walk into a trendy upscale bar in midtown Manhattan.
As you enter you feel the room glowing with warmth and excitement of a brilliant evening.
There are more gorgeous women in here than you could count. To your left is a line of groups all standing against the wall with their cocktails and drinks. The girls are in stunning flowing dresses as it is summer and the finest of women all show as much skin as they can, in a classy way.
To your right is the amazing cocktail bar with well dressed bartenders politely and skillfully pouring multiple colored liquids into tall glasses. Girls are sitting with their men along this bar, the glisten in their eye as they get more tipsy and anticipate the fun night to come.
The place is buzzing. A DJ spins some deep urban upbeat sounds with smooth vocal snips that echo across the room.
People turn to you as they naturally do when somebody new enters the room. An amazing brunette at the bar looks you right in the eye just as you look left at a slim attractive blonde who seems to be staring at you - she looks away sharply as soon as you notice her glance.
Now what?
What happens next is not determined by how many women you have had in the past. It is not determined by the way you are dressed or how you physically look. It is not determined by your job or how much money you have. It is not determined by the problems or multiple troubles that you have in your life. It is not determined upon what state you are in.
What happens next is verifiably determined by one measurable item only: Your SOUL BASELINE LEVEL or "SBL".
Each an every man on this planet has something that has been pretty much immeasurable and indescribable: The SOUL.
The soul is why Lance Armstrong got back on the bike. The soul is why Michael Jordan or Bruce Lee fought against everyone around them to drive for what they believed in. The soul is what you see in Brad Pitt's eyes when he is playing one of his many amazing characters.
Every man on this planet has one and can feed, nurture and encourage it to make anything and everything happen.
It can either be something that you feel within every fiber of your being every single day or something that is a vague feeling in the background that you suppress with the many forms of societies escapism that is on offer 24/7 (television, junk food, petty bullshit).
Girls are hyper sensitive to changes in a man's soul. They read it like a book when they see you walk in the room. It is as real as the metabolic physical rate. It beats like a heart for all the world to feel and hear when you are around.
You see it too. You know when somebody is smiling at you from their soul, or simply just giving you a smile with nothing behind it.
You know when a girl opens up and is letting her soul pour out for only you to take, or when she is simply just saying words like "I love you" for the sake of it.
The soul is what makes being alive on this planet so damn real and amazing. To put it simply, the soul is the life of the world and how it moves forward. This is why having soul is the single most attractive thing to a woman, or anybody, that any man can possess.
The times where I have pulled off amazing feats of pickup in the club are when my soul is at the forefront. You can see it in my eyes in the flawless natural. I am not saying that I am any better than anyone, in fact, I am still in soul development mode right now and I want you to come along with me!
It is now time for you to understand and develop your own soul.
The way I understand it, is that your individual soul is made up of things that you, in the most purest form, do for yourself.
Now don't take the above line lightly. It sounds so simple and you may think you do a lot for yourself, when in face the truth is otherwise.
The soul is fed and grows upon things that you do, in the most purest form, for yourself.
Think about the last time you did something physical. Running, Riding, Gym. Hopefully it wasn't too long ago!
What were the reasons that you did that physical activity?
Was it to look awesome for the ladies? To look good for other people? To meet expectations on what is good looking? Did you do it because you see other people who you want to be and then try to copy them or be like them?
OR Did you do it because it makes you feel alive on this earth? Did you do it because it purely makes you feel awesome and powerful afterward? Did you do it because you want to have increased energy to do all the amazing things that YOU want to do?
Does Brad pitt or Mark Wahlberg need to work out? They are married with kids so they don't get up early and hit it hard every morning if it is for the ladies. I read a quote from Mark on going to the gym a while ago and he said simply "I just get up early, eat my egg whites, and hit the gym hard. I JUST GET IT DONE…"
This is done purely for himself and not a single other person on the planet. Is he selfish? Yes. Is selfishness a good thing? you decide.
Doing things absolutely for your own self and nobody else is a form of selfishness that feeds your own soul. On a surface level it makes you UNREACTIVE to the whims of others.
Some examples are going off and meditating in a garden for 20mins. Reading a book. Eating an amazingly healthy meal. Playing golf.
It can also mean choosing something way outside your comfort zone and totally different to what people would think or expect of you, like joining a weekly adventure sport such as rock climbing. The whole reason you are reading this post means you are doing something to for yourself, you are getting good with girls and that is a selfish thing too. GO YOU!
For more information or amazing soul food visit any Ayn Rand novel: Atlas Shrugged, Anthem and Fountainhead are amazing.
So, back to the "SBL" and how it works.
Back to our story in the midtown Manhattan bar… A couple of girls have looked at you. They see a quality in you that is not in the other men. They see fire in your eyes. They feel a massive presence in you. People turn and glance at you for just that little bit longer than a normal person. They wonder what it is about you. They can't put their finger on it but you are strangely alluring. "What-is-it-about-him?" they think to themselves.
You are totally unreactive and are so comfortable in your own skin you are almost laughing to yourself at how carefree and present you are.
This is because your SBL is high. You have been at the gym and riding a bike all week. You worked hard to afford the cool threads that you just bought to roll out in. You take care of your grooming precisely and are excited about the adventures that you could provide do a woman who is daring to go with you. For a girl to reject you would almost be ridiculous at this point. Silly them. Oh well, on to the next lucky one. It is inevitable that I go home with a beautiful girl tonight. Everything is in its right place.
Get the picture?
So this week we are focusing on REGULAR ACTIVITIES to increase your SOUL BASELINE LEVEL.
These are things that you MUST DO every DAY or WEEK to make sure you are ON POINT and FEELING GOOD.
I want you to post or write down three things, that if done every week you will be happy that you completed.
One must be PHYSICAL. The rest can be anything you want them to be.
Next week I share some of the personal things I do to raise my own SBL.
Have a great week, and let your SOUL GLOW he he he.

there really are no words to express how much i love this outfit. must find myself a belt like that.
happy weekend! :)
there really are no words to express how much i love this outfit. must find myself a belt like that.
happy weekend! :)
Since I can't wear my shorts today I thought I'd blog about them to get my fix. I am stoked about the variety of fashion forward shorts available this season! I feel like the last couple summers everyone was just wearing distressed, acid wash short shorts and it really wasn't getting anybody excited. Lately, everybody and their neighbour wants to be a hipster so the shorts are getting crazy DIY looks and the prints are gorgeous! My favorite part of this little trend is the studding details added. I see shorts completely covered and then the ones with the small amount that has a big impact. I guess I should say my actual favorite part is the cut… HIGH WAISTED, 9-inch zipper, 90's nasty! (well, at least thats how I would describe it.) This look is so easy to pull off and its figure flattering! Instead of having that little tummy you hate hanging over the low low low rise you rocked last year, tuck it into the waist of these babies and you'll be looking oh-so-chic. I'm really hoping I see alot more of this style walking around my community. I feel like the girls are shy to this because they still dress for boys and not for girls. Dressing for girls is more fun, more satisfying and you actually look GOOD. boys just want you naked. (unless they are an out-of-the-ordinary good boy, they like fashion forward looks and those are the boys' attention you should be looking for!)
Back to SHORTS… the only thing you'll need to watch in this style is your bum. The cuts can get preeeetty short. (like, shorter than short-shorts) Your bum likes the breeze and will definately try to sneak out the bottom instead of sticking around in that tight mess. So, make sure the length is working for your bum and that baby is staying put! (unless of course, you're at the beach or…maybe thats the look you're going for— but i sure hope not!)
I hope my rambling was to your liking this morning, have a fantastic sunday, If you happen to see the sunshine, please send him back my way :)

Take Me In Lyrics - Petra
Review The Song (1)
Words and music by Dave Browning
Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see Your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
The priests who sing Your praise
I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
And it's only found one place
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Click here to submit the Corrections of Take Me In Lyrics
take me in | Reviewer: rich | 1/24/2008
This is one great song. I feel the anointing ever time i listen to it. It draws me closer to the Father more than ever before. I recommend all who hear to listen to this song as they go in to worship the Father and Jesus His son. But remember before you can enter the holy of holies that the song talks about you must first repent and be cleansed of all unrighteousness. Because the holy of holies is where the manifest presence of God resides and sin cannot share the same space as the presence of God.
