It has been my observation (just my opinon) that every our "countries consciousness" (the decisions and actions of our country as a whole) is just a mere reflect of the individuals that make up the greater whole. I think on an individual level, we are conflicted on our ideas of just what freedom means and how to express our ideas about freedom. Its painful and complex. It also carries a level of respnosibility and maturity that a good majority of Americans neither have the interest, time or capacity to handle, so what do we do, we hold our breathe, squint our eyes, say a quick prayer and "pass the buck!"
This "pass the buck" syndrome, has left us all vulnerable and a bit guilty. And although we may not agree with the gov't and the powerful decision makers that represent our country, I believe (just my opinon) that we all need to ask ourselves, where have we dropped the ball in our individual choices. where have we remained stubborn and unreasonable in our lives? Where do we wage war in our lives? Because although our individual choices and attitudes may not seem irrelevant to the "grander choices and actions" of our goverment, they do contribute to the overall consciousness of our country.
Just something to think about.
Many Blessings, Coach K!
Jane, glad you are living well and are happy!!
In America we have a lot to be thankful for. however, there are so many things we need to fix.
I don't think anyone should be embarressed to say they're american, because every country has its flaws.
if there was one thing i would change though, it would be this growing between the rich and the poor. i was raised in a rich house and because of my own personal decisions i've made in life, i've ended up quite poor. poverty seems to be a cycle of struggling from pay check to pay check. hey, i still have a computer though---a great luxery for us!!! i'm living pretty damn well to be so incredibly poor
I am personally wrestling out this question.
I was raised in a very Christian Republican environment that taught that America was founded by Christians (Christians claim masons like George Washington and deists like Thomas Jefferson as their own....not sure why), that we are blessed by God, that everything we do is just because of this, war is just, etc.
My world came crashing down a few years ago when I learned that ofcourse, none of this is true and our history is very tainted with blood. I take my faith more seriously now than ever before and do not understand how Christians can be anything but pacifists. God favors no nation above anothers. Our freedoms and material abundance often equal others exploitation (lets not forget we would have never taken over this land if we wouldn't have given Native Americans smallpox infected blankets to kill them off....). And now the Iraq war. When my husband and I went to Europe this summer we left our Air Canada tags on our backpacks for a reason. *sigh*.
I am meditating on all this seriously. I told my husband yesterday that if we go to war with Iran ...I seriously want to think about trying to immigrate to Switzerland.
We'll see.

|What disturbs me is the fact that most people forget that America does not equal the Unites States. The Americas include Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. So what I think is that most people in the United States view themselves as the center of this planet , even to the point of taking an inclusive word like America as if it were exclusively their own. Such an attitude is reflected in language and actions like the fact that the U.S. is the proud owner of the commonwealth (pretty name for colony) of Puerto Rico and continues to invade other countries.
I'm British... and I can safely say that I don't lack respect for American's. I didn't understand the motivations of those that voted for Bush, especially since there is so much information available for those willing to research the geo-political and economic motivations for Bush's decision to invade and occupy Iraq. It is unfortunate that the Bush Administration has followed a path that has damaged the 'image' of the U.S.A globally, but I honestly believe that 'change' starts at the grassroots level and those passionate enough about the 'wrongs' that have occured will challenge the misconceptions and the misinformation that exists as a result of the Bush Administration.
As Ghandi states 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world'
But in saying this, the same thing applies to the British too... Tony Blair, imo, is no better. And we too need to act
I just got an American citizenship and extremely happy.
My family and I came from a very poor town of Ukraine. US gave me life. This is a country with tons of opportunities, I'm excited that my son will be growing up here.
If you want to talk about corruption, try to live in Russia.
America does a lot of good for other countries. Yes, of course it has many sceletons in the closet (or out of closet), but every country does. We just got really unfortunate with Bush administration.
I also often feel sad for Americans. The social security system over there certainly sounds as if it is nothing to be envious of. It sickens me when I hear of childred who go without medicines because they are too expensive, or families who dont get the medical care they need because they cant afford health insurance. I can't imagine being a single mother and being forced into work because the government wouldnt help me out. I am horrified at the thought of ever sending my child to a school where security guards were needed, or metal detectors were used. I certainly dont "hate" america, but i'm in no way envious of americans either!
I like what Dan Savage said about the USA in a recent interview:
"Canada got the French and Australia got the convicts and we got the [expletive] bat[expletive] crazy Christians. And that matters. We're all lied to in high school—"The Pilgrims came here seeking religious freedom." No they didn't. They were the Puritans kicked out of England. They went to Holland, Holland was like "[expletive] you people," and they kicked them out too, so they came here. They came here seeking the ability to persecute everybody else—and each other—for their religious beliefs. And we are living with the descendants of those nutjobs, and we have to fight them."
It makes so much sense now...
"America" refers to two continents and lots and lots of countries.
There's a lot to think about!
|America is still wonderful, her identity has just been stolen by a bunch of crooks and theives
I think the US is a great nation, with a rich and varied culture, disregarding things like McDonalds, Dunkn' Donuts, Disney and Exxon.
I love your great sense of humour, your interest in things spiritual, your great music (Jazz, blues, gospel, rock...), Love your interest and abilities in exploring human nature, admire your great novelists, and when it's not too glitzy and shallow I enjoy a lot of your entertainment. Hell, I've got no choice, the TV's full of it here in New Zealand. No, but I really do admire many aspects of American culture.
You're not emotionally repressed, you know how to express your feelings....as compared to us Anglo-Saxon types here in NZ. I know this is a huge generalisation!
So be proud.
But remember the US Govt. is not the American people of culture...or at least, along with the military-industrial complex it is only a part of it, and not the whole. Thank goodness.
And if it weren't for you I'd be speaking German right now.
Ah, I suppose you're disregarding Romania. 'Cause that sure wasn't brought about by the beauty of capitalism without bloodshed.
Of course you can check out Argentina for another view of the beauty of capitalism.
influence justifies everything?
or what?
I really don't get it
what fun to see this thread revived.
did reese every say what country she was referring to or from what experience she was drawing from that indicated the U.S. was unpopular during the Clinton years?
i was really surprised that she thought so. from my personal experience, the Clintons were VERY popular - so much so that everyone seemed to be naming their babies either Bill, Will, William or Hilary. We thought it was quite amusing and were glad that we were from a country so well respected!
unfortunately, that seems to have changed during the bush administration.
I have never been ashamed of being an American. I think it is facinating how people who live in America can degrade her and hate her. They are protected by the first Amendment. I dare any of you to go to China and speak out against them or any number of countries. I did not see any protestors sitting in the streets of Bagdad for Saddam to comply with the U.N. resolutions or the inspectors. Why? Because they would be tortured and killed. In America we have the right to peacefully assemble.
America is great. America has been looked down upon for ages so get over it. You can never please everyone. We do a lot of great things. We are a great nation. Look around the world and who has a major influence? France? Germany? Russia? Iraq? Israel? Nope. The one and almost only USA. Hmmm, I seem to remember Levis and rock music were huge black market items in the USSR. Not one shot was fired to bring down the USSR - freedom and capitalism did and there self destructive government as well. People have yearned for our freedom and our lifestyle for a long time. Why have so many immigrants come here and continue to come here? Because America is so evil and awful? Who ever belives this is factually ignorant. Mexicans who walk down the middle of I-5 in California risk there lives (if you ever drove on I-5 you would understand) to come here. Why? Because they like dodging automobiles going 75mph? Call me crazy, but I do not think they want to play chicken with a car going that fast especially since they might have their children with them. Must be something more than that... I wonder what it is??? Freedom. The American dream - perhaps not for themselves but for their children.
We are not a perfect nation. We have flaws. If anyone hates living here so much, America does not have any laws stopping you to leave. I would not want you to leave. Why? If you are capable of constructive critism, your opposition of the way we operate in America needs to be heard (it is also protected). It is how we grow as a nation. You can complain all you want, but do not forget that there are many other people who would die trying to get here to enjoy that right. You think we have it bad here?
I love America and would die for her and her freedoms and her way of living. I want my children to grow up here and nowhere else. I will instill in them how great this nation is despite her having flaws and making mistakes along the way. I want them to travel the world to see how blessed they are to be an American. If my 2 year old son was 18 right now and decided to pass on college and join the military to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan, I would beam with pride. If he were to die fighting, I would be thankful for his sacrifice to keep his countrymen and women free.
You're not imagining things Marg. It really is true. As Noam Chomsky has documented so eloquently and thoroughly in his many books , declassified State Dept. papers, and quotes from influential planners and advisors like George MacKennan reveal they are only too aware that to get the population on their side for invasions, imperialistic adventures, economic measures that benefit the rich to the detriment of everyone else, they need to shape their thinking, create "necessary illusions" etc.
The weasel words are thought up by clever PR trained consultants, and other figures from the intellectual classes who are part of the invisible power structure behind "the president". Weasel words like..."anti-American", "collateral damage", "plausible denial" come to mind.
There's no special dept. though. They don't need one for that. Why when there is a revolving door between Wall Street and the White House. The President doesn't need to select his cabinet of advisors and policy-makers from elected representatives...he and his cronies only have to cherry-pick from the Corporate world which they come from.
I think the right word for the US governmental regime would be plutocracy.....rule by the rich and powerful.
As a non-American, I can say that yes, there is a certain derision in my country for US actions by intelligent educated people, but also a lot of misplaced respect and admiration.
Some people will always look up to and worship power.
But I would like to say this. The US govt. is not the American people. Many who hate US imperialism, realise there are loads of good American people , who may oppose US imperialism, may be ignorant etc.
As Chomsky points out no State Govt. is a moral agent. They act in the interests of internal elites. The New Zealand Govt. if we had the military arsenal of the US, and pop. would be just as bad, imo.
Many Americans seem to really care about the wrongs that US imperialism gets up to. I respect that.
|Marg of Arabia
Amen! Rev. Kimberly!!!!!!!!! I feel about as hopeless as you do!!
What is going on in this country??
Why can't we grow up??
Why are we so controlled by the media??
I found myself humming a jingle I heard on the radio all day yesterday. It seemed to have buried itself in my brain like a memory chip. It was a commercial for a car dealership. These brainwashing techniques seem to work in advertising.
I sometimes imagine a secret department in our government that is constantly working on brainwashing the American public into believing any lie told to them. This dept. advises Bush on his speech giving. Teaching him the techniques we are unaware of. Teaching Bush and Co. how to plant lies in American people's heads. You know, where they just repeat a lie at least 20 times per day until the American public is brainwashed much the same way that I have been brainwashed by that damned car commercial!!!
I'm not so sure that anyone can say that the world looked as bad at us now, as three years ago. The Human Rights Convention/Committee of the UN actually booted out the U.S. after Bush became president because of his tactics, his demanding nature, and his egotism. To my knowledge, the U.N. has never separated/kicked out the U.S in regards to anything until this. That is HUGE.
I'm proud to be an American, but I'm also ashamed to be an American right now. Our voices weren't heard this last election, it was stolen. And now with the recall in California, it seems that there is no point in voting, because if the rich don't like the person elected, they'll just pool out money, and push for a recall. It isn't just. If the people vote, that should be the end of it.
And, Bush is asking for billions of dollars for Iraq and a teeny tiny bit of that for Afghanistan, when he's absolutely refused to help our state governments that are in serious debt and failing.
And what of Afghanistan and Iraq? He finally admitted that Iraq (ie Saddam Hussein) had nothing to do with 9/11, he has yet to come forward and finally admit that they had no ties to Al Qaeda even though the CIA and many other agencies have been saying this all along.
And Afghanistan? On the news this evening Osama and his son Saad were seen together in Sudan, and he is responsible for 9/11.... we took everything we had and moved our attention to Iraq, a country that was under control and is now massacring each other, our own service members, looting and rampantly raping the women and children that are in sight. Women in Iraq have made statements saying they felt safer under Saddam's rule than they do now. And, if things are to get better, the U.S. can never leave. Which means more of our loved ones dying over there to try to regain some sense of control.
And what of that? Promised to several Iraqi's that were brought in to help build a government are being denied the very right to make any decision. They're left out of the loop and so feel helpless on helping their own people with governing decisions.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan has been left a mess, rebuilding is little and people are starving and dying every day. And, according to the news, Al Qaeda has moved right back in and will probably regain control.
Someday, I hope that Americans wake up and realize that they have to make decisions for themselves with valid information, and not just believe everything that is told to them by government officials. And in that, our news has to get better. I've had to read news from other countries to get more information as to what is going on around the world.
What do you think about America????
Without editing myself & off the top of my head-I don't think much of America, and have felt this way for as long as I can remember. I've lived in many different regions around the country and have never felt I belonged here. The only time I truly felt at home was living in NYC, because of the diversity of cultures.
From high school on I was around people from all different countries-European, South American, Middle Eastern, etc. I was curious about their countries, their cultures and way of life. I remember being amazed that (most of) the US students didn't seem to be particularly curious about anything beyond their own experience. I still encounter people like that 20 years later-I wonder how much things have changed in our more "global" existence.
That's what I don't like about America-its myopic view of the world.
I think America needs to stop talking and listen more--our way of life is not THE way of life and it's foolish and dangerous to keep these outdated povs. When out of the country, I'm proud when people don't take me for being an American. That's a pretty sad statement.
I just read what someone above said about our culture being immature--I also feel this in an adverse way. I don't sense any hugely sacred or historic creative energy here that will even be remotely close to that in other countries in a few hundred years, when our culture "matures."
Problem is, does the world have long enough to wait for this maturation? How much havoc on the earth, its resources, native peoples, animal species, human health, other cultural traditions, in the meantime? Sigh.
Ilaria I know just what you mean about that misperception, too. Very frustrating. :
BTW, I have my own long list of things I love about this country, its people, even some founding values, but *too much* being done 'in our name' contradicts all this goodness, sadly.
Another thing that boggles my mind is when Americans go on about being able to start and own a business, as if it is some sort of characteristic to the USA!?: My dad opened and has owned his own business for 25 years now, in Italy!
"Our way is like that of a young and cocky adolescent full of bravado...the rest of the world patiently awaits our culture's maturation. I daresay that when that maturation is complete there will be much of a destructive, manipulative, negative nature commited in immaturity that will require humble apology and restitution."
How true.
NM I'm always confused by the statements, popular by talk show hosts in this country, about the ills of Europe due to socialism. :
Wasn't your last president a liberal? Wasn't Thatcher a raving conservative?
This seems to just be a popular hogwash by the conservative press who want to sing the USA's praises whilst denegrating the rest of the world. I hear every social ill and catastrophe in Europe blamed on socialism. It is such a nonsense, and totally inaccurate, but sadly believed by the majority of Americans.

|Well, I predict that Arnold will fail as a politician. But, Americans don't really care that much. He will still have the peoples support. Why? because they care more about "the image". This is the sad state of affairs in this country I am living in
|Marg of Arabia
Just had to add this: the cover of our local newsweekly this week: big headshot of Arnold looking blearily trimumphant and the headline: "California, show me your t*ts!"
Straight talking man indeed.
Of course, the newsweekly spelled it out.
Three reasons not to change the U.S. Constitution:
1. Napoleon, a Corsican who became head of France;
2. Stalin, a Georgian who became head of the USSR;
3. Hitler, an Austrian who became head of Germany.
Arnie is Austrian. If he wants to head a country, he should go back to Austria; they deserve him.

They're like a thousand miles apart. I'm all for their friendship but they seem to lack in the romance department. And just so you know, I'm not some 14 year old girl who thinks romance includes sparkly vampires. I wanted to like Dan and Blair, I really did but there needs to be some passion.
awwwwwww are so cute and authentic
OHHH!!!! Dan and Blair are Flawless!!! I love Dair !!!
I know, I know....chuck and blair equal 'endgame'. But for now I like these two. I like how different they are. Blair and Chuck are the same side of the coin.

It's quite obvious that Bernard Pierce will be the Raven's starting running back for at least the first 2-6 games of the season as Ray Rice is all but certain to receive a suspension. The Ravens have made it clear that Pierce is the next man up, and he has flashed some talent in the past. But while most expect Rice to regain the starting job when he returns, there is a great chance that Pierce will give the Ravens no choice but to leave him there.
We hear all the time that there is no loyalty in football, and it is a very true statement. Competition is welcome and no one's position should ever be safe. It's what makes this game the most popular sport in the U.S. and what drives us fans to obsess over it. When a guys misses games and another guy steps up and performs, sometimes coaches don't mess with momentum. Here are 5 reasons why this will be the case in Baltimore.
1. Pierce is a perfect fit for Gary Kubiak's zone blocking offense.
Gary Kubiak is a disciple of Mike Shanhan, who is widely considered to be the zone blocking master. Shanahan's scheme is famous for making stars out of no name running backs like former sixth rounder turned hall of famer Terrell Davis. Davis was a classic one cut runner who made his move and hit the hole hard, which is the key to success in this scheme. It requires patience and vision while holes develop. What Shanny didn't want to see was dancing in the backfield, reverses, etc.
Kubiak continued the tradition of churning out yards with no name backs in Houston, where he turned undrafted runner Arian Foster into a superstar. Now that Kubiak is coaching the offense in Baltimore, guess what running back on the roster fits the prototypical mold of a hard charging, one cut runner? Bernard Pierce.
2. Kubiak features one back heavily.
Another characteristic of Kubiak's scheme is his perchance for giving most of the carries to one guy, with only a small percentage going to a "change up" or "breather" type back. In Houston, Foster racked up an average of 318 carries per season in 2010-2012 (he missed the bulk of 2013 with injury, so we won't count last season). Backup Ben Tate average 120 carries during that span.
3. Rice would make a great change of pace, passing down back.
Let's face it, Ray Rice is the perfect change up back. He runs the ball well but he is also great at making catches out of the backfield. As disappointing as last season was, Rice still caught 58 passes. He ran a 4.4 coming out of college and still has plenty of speed. He is elusive in the open field and quick to the edge.
4. Rice is physically breaking down.
Rice has a lot of wear on his tires from both his college and pro career, leading him to break down physically a little earlier than most. He would benefit from having his carries scaled back a bit to lengthen his career. Heavy usage catches up with every running back, typically without warning. The Ravens would be wise to keep him fresh through the season instead of risking injury when he returns from suspension by throwing him into the fire. Pierce has a lot less wear, is younger, and will be 100% healthy by training camp.
5. It is hard to return from injury/suspension mid season.
History is ripe with examples of players who have missed games due to injury, suspension, or hold out and then came back only to get injured or struggle. RG3, Darrelle Revis, Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson, and Maurice Jones-Drew to name a few. Rice showed up to camp in great shape, but in reality nothing prepares you for live football like live football. It's why the first games of the season are typically filled with player error and can get a little sloppy. The best bet for Rice would be to ease back in, especially when considering his injury history.
Who do you think will be the Raven's starting running back by mid season?

When alerted about job notices at the international school they attended, they couldn't ignore the opportunity. Moving to Ecuador with their two children exposes many adult decisions for the young couple. Watch as House Hunters International flies the coup and lands in Quito, Ecuador.


text: Your mapping would also depend on how you handle FTL travel. Is it like Star Trek and Star Wars where you just warp from wherever you are, or are there nodes like in Wing Commander and Babylon 5? Another thought to go with the idea suggested by Ryan K, perhaps have distances from the standard plane of reference depicted by two separate colors to show how far up or down from the plane they are. You could go further by adjusting the shade. I don't know how well it would look once done though.

Colin Baxter
Sat Nov 19, 2011 4:22 pm Chargers promoted C Colin Baxter from the practice squad.
Fantasy Source Spin: Among the Chargers' final cuts in September, Baxter will provide depth along an extremely banged up offensive line. Baxter appeared in three games for the Jets earlier this season, starting two.
Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:18 pm Jets waived C Colin Baxter.
Fantasy Source Spin: Baxter underwhelmed as a run blocker in two starts in place of Nick Mangold. He's no longer needed with Mangold healthy.
Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:48 am Jets C Colin Baxter held up well in place of Nick Mangold (ankle) Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Baxter certainly wasn't the reason the Jets lost. There were no mishaps with snaps and the Jets racked up 439 total yards of offense. "I thought Baxter did a nice job, competed well," coach Rex Ryan said.
Source: New York Daily News
Sun Sep 4, 2011 1:09 pm Jets claimed C Colin Baxter off waivers from the Chargers.
Fantasy Source Spin: An undrafted free agent out of Arizona, Baxter was waived on Saturday. He'll have a good chance at sticking on the roster as the Jets' only natural center besides Nick Mangold.

MONDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- The 30-year-old woman
arrived at the Henry Ford Hospital emergency room in Detroit out of
breath and coughing blood.
It didn't take long for doctors to figure out why: The woman
admitted to having been at a party at a hotel five days prior at
which she -- and others -- received injections of liquid silicone
to "enhance" the buttocks and various body parts.
The silicone was not the medical silicone that is sometimes used
for implants, but the type easily procured at hardware stores like
Home Depot. The fat solvent used to make the silicone had quickly
traveled to her lungs and gotten stuck in the airways, resulting in
"silicone embolism syndrome," or clots, in this case, in the
smaller vessels in her lungs.
The syndrome, admittedly rare, was first seen in transsexual men
wanting to augment their breasts in the 1970s.
"There are two types of side effects [that can result from silicone injections]," said Dr. Angel Coz, the pulmonary and critical care specialist who treated the woman. "Lungs is one of them. The other goes to the brain. The mortality in lungs is close to 20 percent but in the brain it's close to 100 percent."
This woman, who was attempting to augment her buttocks, was one
of the lucky ones. She survived after receiving steroids, said Coz,
who is slated to present information on the case Monday at the
American College of Chest Physicians' annual meeting in
Others have died.
"We've been hearing about this," said Dr. Malcolm Z. Roth, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. "There are 'pumping parties,' involving high-volume injections to fill up the face, lips, cheekbones, chin or breast. Often it's buttock enhancement and often it's not sterile."
And these illicit procedures may be on the rise, thanks to a
slow economy and pocketbooks that aren't full enough to afford
licensed plastic surgeons, said Roth, who is also chief of plastic
surgery at the Albany Medical Center in New York.
"It's really a white-coat deception," Roth said. "Sometimes the person doing the injections claims to be a physician from another country and in some cases the patient knows very well it's not a physician but, feeling they can't afford to go to a legitimate board-certified plastic surgeon, they find a short cut."
Two other, similar cases of patients developing complications
after silicone injections are also being presented at the meeting
this week.
One involved a 22-year-old woman who showed up at the UCLA
Medical Center emergency room, also with shortness of breath. This
quickly progressed to right ventricular failure of the heart and
the patient died despite the physicians' best efforts.
Most likely, the silicone and solvent had damaged the lungs,
leading to collapse of the heart.
This patient had had injections in her buttocks from "a doctor
in Mexico" earlier that day, a friend told doctors.
The researchers presenting the case said this is the first
documented case of right ventricular failure from silicone
The third case was a 23-year-old woman with the familiar
symptoms, shortness of breath and cough, who had had several
silicone injections in her buttocks.
She was diagnosed with silicone embolism syndrome but, after
receiving oxygen and steroids and spending five days in the
hospital, recovered and went home.
According to Roth, patients should "run away from these
"You don't do medical procedures in a hotel room or garage. This procedure is illegal," he said. "Patients need to do their homework and check the credentials of the professional they're considering for their cosmetic procedure."
"This is something that is not done by doctors," added Coz. "It's completely out of the realm of what any physician would do."

U of O Becoming Popular School Choice For Californians
More than 4,500 Californians enrolled at the University of Oregon in fall 2010, breaking a record. California is the largest and fastest-growing producer of Duck recruits outside of Oregon. The Register-Guard says it's a trend driven by the UO's aggressive marketing efforts and the school's desire for students who pay out-of-state tuition.
Californians now account for nearly one out of every five UO students. They also account for a majority of the UO's overall student growth. Now incoming UO President Michael Gottfredson is heading to Oregon from Orange County, Calif.

Yoga on the beach

Namaste Everyone, just wanting to add a few details on our new center: visit: www.powerofnowoasi...
What we say:
The yoga teachers are two extremely relaxed Kiwi guys with a passion for surfing and holistic health and have chosen a great spot to undertake both of these passions -- right on the beach at Sanur.
The layout of the centre is a little rustic and stands out among the massage ladies and generic food stalls as being a place trying something different.
A nifty activity to try when in Sanur.

Having worked previously in Finance and in IT Project Management, a move into my own business in retail was always going to be a difficult decision. This is the reason I first looked into the idea of investing in a Franchise to benefit from the experience of others who had built a proven model and system. After attending the Franchise exhibition in 2002 at the NEC in Birmingham the thought of selling carpets was the last thing on my mind! After spending some time researching various opportunities I came back to the "United" stand as it offered a greater potential of profit then most business models I had seen.
Eight years and many months later I am humbled by the success we have had at United Carpets in Derby. The United Carpets model of selling value for money flooring with an emphasis on both service and standards have allowed me to aggressively gain market share in my local area. We have now become ingrained in the local community and are recognised as a major flooring retailer thanks to primarily the growth in the brand and support from the head office team, as well as building a great team of staff led by "owner" enthusiasm!
As I started the business at the age of 26 there were many concerns I had due to the fact that I had no flooring industry experience and no experience in actually running a business. I believe that this Franchisor does respond with support whenever required for those individuals who show the main qualities of being ambitious, proactive, positive and driven about their business. I would definitely always choose the same opportunity again as it has allowed me to be part of a successful business and enjoy the fruits of my hard work.

[Editor's note: This is the third in a multi-part series that examines the pitfalls of sustainability measurements while drawing on lessons learned from outside the business world. For additional context, see the first installments here and here.]
Since this series' last installment, where we identified several measurement pitfalls the sustainability world should avoid, GreenBiz released the 2013 State of Green Business report and a corresponding new set of measures to capture it.
The report describes how businesses are transforming for the new normal of a world that is increasingly volatile, climatically unstable and interconnected.
So as a reflection of our changing world -- and sustainable business along with it -- we chose one complex problem for Part III's "Lessons Learned" about metrics: global poverty.
Since 2000, the International Development (ID) community's battle to end (or substantially reduce) poverty by 2015 has played out on the world stage. There have been delays, defeats and some solid accomplishments. In doing so, the development community's thinking has evolved about what best constitutes effective aid and how to know whether it's working.
We find significant lessons for the sustainable business world in the story of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the groundbreaking shift towards metrics that occurred with the 2008 Accra Agenda for Action. The ID community has been considering questions of direction towards greater levels of sustainability and how to measure their actual effectiveness over 13 long years of debate and trial and error. We could learn from their longer experience with sustainability goals and metrics.
Pitfall 5: Setting and starting out on goals without doing the groundwork to assess what -- and who -- are being left out. As sustainability can be more complex than it initially appears, goal setting while pursuing it can be even more challenging.
The ID field experienced painful growing pains from what happens when goals, and the initial metrics chosen to evaluate progress towards them, fail to capture what's really important for all stakeholders.

Following an incredible 2013 which saw Paul McCartney's Out There tour launch in Brazil and visit 23 cities across South America, Europe, North America and Japan, Paul has now confirmed very special shows on the 2014 U.S. Out There tour.
The Out There tour, as always, features music from the most beloved catalog in popular music, as Paul performs songs spanning his entire career–as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle. The set list will also include material from Paul's most recent studio album NEW, a global hit upon its release last year.The McCartney live experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity; in just three hours some of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music are relived; music which for many has shaped the very soundtrack of their lives. The last decade has seen Paul and his band perform in a staggeringly impressive range of venues and locations, including outside the Coliseum in Rome, in Moscow's Red Square, Buckingham Palace, at the White House, a free show in Mexico to over 400,000 people, and even broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul's band of the last 10+ years–Paul "Wix" Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums)–the show never disappoints.

Some people live for the thrill of Black Friday—or at least for the bargains of Black Friday. Are you willing to venture out to save a few bucks? You certainly won't be alone.
According to the National Retail Federation (NRF) and BIGresearch (and Twice), more than 152 million consumers may hit the stores this weekend. That's a 27 percent increase over last year. It also means that it may be complete chaos when you try to go shopping this weekend.
Your best defense for Black Friday is to be prepared. Retailers and websites have been bombarding us with great deals over the past few weeks. The good news is that we may be seeing more electronics deals than ever before.
We combed through some of the circulars and other pre-Black Friday announcements to see which stores would be offering the best discounts. Here are 10 of our favorite deals for Black Friday 2011. Happy hunting!Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

The one club that everyone knows is Brandt Snedeker's strength turned out to be the one that won him the TOUR Championship and led to claiming the FedEx Cup.
If you look over his stats for the week, Sneds was simply astounding with the putter. In comparison to the rest of the 30-man field, the native of Nashville was in the top three in the most important putting stats. On "Moving Day", Snedeker gained 3.169 strokes. For his final round, that was 1.962. And for the weekend, that total number was 1.676. His three-stroke win over Justin Rose can be largely attributed to the flat stick.
Take a look at his putts per round and putts per GIR:
Thursday – PPR: 27, PPGIR: 1.667
Friday – PPR: 29, PPGIR: 1.667
Saturday – PPR: 29, PPGIR: 1.647
Sunday – PPR: 25, PPGIR: 1.667
Wasn't only his putter though. Snedeker's accuracy of the tee was second for the tournament with a 66.1% accuracy. He was perfect in sand saves. And, maybe the most important stats of the weekend, Snedeker had the least number of bogeys with 6 and most birdies with 20. He also only had a pair of double bogeys.
Of course, the points system is probably taking a beating today considering Rory McIlroy won two of the four tournaments that comprise the FedEx Cup Playoffs and did not figure into the crowning of a new champ. Rors was coming off perhaps his greatest stretch of his young career as he won the last major (PGA Championship) and nailed down two wins in the playoffs (Deutsche Bank and BMW).
McIlroy had a T24, 1st, 1st and T10 for the four tournaments that comprise the playoffs. An average finish well above that of Snedeker, yet he takes home the second place prize of a mere $3 million.
Hard to fathom that a guy can win half of the tournaments involved in the playoffs would have to settle for second.
Ponder this. It's not like Snedeker barely made the TOUR Championship. Top five, maybe, but he earned his spot. It's not completely related to his own performance. The other players created part of this as well. Their performance throughout these playoff had an effect.
Coming into East Lake, he was fifth in the FedEx Cup points standings, the last spot where you held your own destiny. He solidified his position by placing second at The Barclays, followed by a sixth at the Deutsch Bank. Snedeker's worst finish of The Playoffs came at BMW where he could only muster a T37. Still, he was in position to claim the title.
Snedeker did just that.
Now on to Medinah and the Ryder Cup.
