Harvest Daily 04/06/05
April 6
The Right Reason
Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
—Matthew 7:21
During His earthly ministry Jesus faced the problem of people who would follow Him for the wrong reasons. He was constantly challenging them to count the cost and to make sure that their motives were right. He wants us all to follow Him, but He wants us to do it for the right reasons.
To truly come to know God I must come on His terms and not my own. I must do it His way and not mine. It is not for me to pick and choose the commandments in the Bible that personally appeal to me or the attributes that I personally find interesting or appealing. It is for me to live life God's way or not to follow Him at all.
It is clear that there are many today who do not follow Him for the right reasons. Jesus taught that there would be those on judgment day who thought they were believers but really were not. In Matthew 7:21, Jesus makes this radical statement, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."
If you are primarily interested in what is cool or what is hip or what is socially acceptable, I need to tell you right now that following Jesus Christ probably won't work into your plans. But if you are interested in what is right and what is the best way to spend your life, and if you are interested in the hope of heaven and a life with meaning, then there are no other options to choose from.

Howard Wallis: SunGard

Freshfields: in a league of its own
29 September 2014
Howard Wallis is the perfect corporate client. As the assistant general counsel for SunGard's Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Emea) operations, he gets through between three and four M&A deals a year, each worth between $5m (£2.65m) and $30m (£15.89m).
Stephen Fiamma and Jeremy Parr are the lucky Allen & Overy corporate partners to advise on SunGard's steady stream of acquisitions. During its 20-year history, SunGard has bought more than 150 software and technology companies worldwide, bringing its revenue up to $4bn (£2.12bn).
As a result, the company has ended up more like a federation of businesses than a single unit and the legal team operates like a law firm within the company, serving the individual business divisions.
Wallis bills the business units by the hour and manages his team like any law firm, organising meetings to give his lawyers personal contact with his clients - SunGard's business managers. Even better for his shortlisted firms, this means he has no budget constraints and takes on the work as and when the need arises.
But, like a law firm, Wallis feels the frustration of trying to hire the lawyers his practice needs. "It is really tough to find the four to six-year PQE lawyer in IT. It's around that time that the bubble bursts," says Wallis.
Last year, SunGard itself was the subject of an M&A deal after a consortium of private equity houses bought the company for $11.5bn (£6.09bn).
With new ownership comes a change in culture. Wallis says: "We're no longer subject to the analysts at Wall Street, and we can think long term rather than quarterly."
Wallis and his legal team will be at the heart of a slow and steady centralisation of SunGard, in an effort to unify the disparate business units and boost the company's profit.
SunGard's customers are demanding this change and the company's new owners are willing to listen.
In August Wallis attended a company meeting in the US with all the separate product managers. The assembled delegates looked at how the takeover will affect the running of the company, with Wallis focusing on how that would affect the legal function.
"We've introduced a more collaborative way of working in response to customers saying that dealing with SunGard is like dealing with 20 companies," says Wallis.
The long-term outlook has given Wallis time to think up innovative ways for his lawyers to support the business plan for unification.
In-house lawyers now attend sales meetings. They will also be key in a company-wide document-management project to bring together the company's data for all the different SunGard products.
This is no mean feat when you consider SunGard has over 150 different customer databases, 70 products and three core divisions.
Happy customers lead to happy bank statements for SunGard's happy owners, which include private equity powerhouses Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Blackstone.
Wallis says: "It's about value creation. Any guys that invest in an LBO [leveraged buyout] that big want to exit the other end having made a profit. We need to look at ways to help that."
SunGard's growing Asia business will fuel much of the profit drive, meaning more work for Wallis.
In the six years that Wallis has been Emea general counsel, SunGard's Emea revenue has quintupled in value from $200m (£105.94m) to $1bn (£529.68m), around 25 per cent of the company's worldwide total.
Similarly, around 5 per cent of SunGard's revenue, or $200m, currently comes from Asia. Wallis expects this area to grow as fast as Europe has done in the past and this summer flew into Singapore to oversee the company's acquisition of software company System Access for $75m (£39.73m).
To handle the growing demand for legal services in Asia, Wallis is looking for a senior lawyer to lead the team in Singapore and a more junior lawyer in Shanghai.
"The job is a unique opportunity, given that the focus of the company is to build in Asia," he says.
And the legal team will need a few extra pairs of hands. Wallis has his work cut out adapting to the changes in SunGard's business structure as well as its culture, not to mention supporting the company's growth in Asia. Wallis sees the solution in being flexible over the type of work his in-house team handles.
"We have to keep focused on the company's priorities and projects, and look at different ways of allocating legal resources," he says.

For the first breakout sessions I sat in on a mind-blowing session. It was part one of the leadership track, "Introducing the Entrepreneurial Method." I need time to turn my notes into a post,which I will do this evening. You're going to hear about the five principles of the entrepreneurial method, as defined by Saras Sarasvathy.
Hear Saras' full presentation here.
I've been working with entrepreneurs and consultants to entrepreneurs for over 25 years and, for the last seven years, entrepreneurship educators, so I've heard a lot about entrepreneurship. So I was fascinated to hear something truly new. You will be too. More this evening on this!

Chef's Recipe Notes:
This was our spin on duck a l'orange. Duck confit takes a real commitment to make. If you are looking for something simpler, you could use two seared duck breasts instead, sliced on top of each salad.
DUSKIE ESTES AND JOHN STEWART - Chefs and co-owners - Zazu
Salads can be a tough food to pair with. The aromatics in Viognier work with the bitter and pepper found in salad greens' ginger and five-spice powder. The exotic citrus blossom and honeysuckle notes align with the kumquat dressing. The rich, viscous nature that a Viognier can have works with the duck confit.
-- Chef JOHN STEWART
Serves 6 to 8
- 1 shallot, sliced in rings
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup kumquats, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Viognier
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
- 1 pound watercress, frisée and other young lettuces, washed
- 2 legs duck confit, picked
John Stewart and Duskie Estes
Chefs and co-owners
Young Lettuce with Kumquat Vinaigrette
1. To make the vinaigrette, sauté the shallots, ginger and Chinese five- spice powder in two tablespoons of the oil in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes until fragrant.
2. Add the kumquats, Viognier and sugar and simmer until the kumquats are tender but still intact, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a small mixing bowl.
3. Add the sherry vinegar and whisk in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a bowl, toss the greens and duck confit with the kumquat dressing to coat the leaves (you will have extra dressing for another time). Plate and serve with a chilled Viognier.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, my beautiful wife Tara and I have lived in Salt Lake City for over 12 years. I have over 7 years of fitness training experience. I got my start the hard way by training MMA with Jeremy Horn, which lasted for about 5 years. After injuries and medical bills started to pile up, I got reacquainted with my love for the outdoors, and soon began running trail ultra marathons. I've competed in full contact mixed martial arts as well as trail runs ranging from 17 miles to 100 miles. Crossfit gives me the base fitness I need to run long in the mountains while staying injury free and maintaining a respectable and manly level of strength.

This just couldn't be the final memory NFL fans would remember in the great career of Ravens' linebacker Ray Lews.

Another week means new power rankings. No team benefited more in the top 10 than the Giants, who mopped the floor with the 49ers in Candlestick Park last Sunday. 1) (2) Atlanta Falcons 6-0: Matt Ryan's three interceptions against the Raiders matched his season total—but a win's a win and the ATL is undefeated. 2) […]

Peyton Manning impresses in preseason tests
08/28/12 at 9:36am by Cincinnati.Com Staff | Comments
Did anyone catch Peyton Manning's performance against the 49ers over the weekend? If you did, you never would have known that Manning missed the entire 2011 season to a neck injury. He was 10-of-12 for 122 yards and two touchdowns. But maybe most importantly, No. 18 took a hit, and lived to tell about it. […]

The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics...

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

Parenting with Lupus: How to Get Support
If you're a parent with lupus, you're going to need help from a lot of different people. Here are some pointers on how to get it.
Have scheduled help. Don't get extra help on a casual, as-needed basis. Build support into the week. Maybe it means getting a nanny. Maybe it means asking your sister to take the kids grocery shopping once a week. Maybe it means hiring a 12-year-old girl from the neighborhood to be a mother's helper after school. However you do it, parents with lupus need to have regular, scheduled help, Katz says.
"You must have time to yourself that you can depend on," says Katz, "time when you can take a nap or take a walk and know that your kids will be OK."
- Plan for emergencies. Most people with lupus do quite well with treatment. Even so, parents with lupus should all have a disaster plan in case they ever get seriously sick or hospitalized, Katz says. Make sure close friends and family know what they would need to do. Not only will a plan help things run more smoothly if you have a health setback, it will reduce your anxiety now.
- Don't let your kids get overburdened. If you have lupus, your kids will probably have to help out more around the house than they would otherwise. That's to be expected. Just be careful not to put too much on your children's shoulders. "You don't want your kids to grow up feeling like a semi-parent," says Katz.
- Consider seeing a therapist. Being able to express your concerns to a therapist — about everyday hassles as well as serious health anxieties — will help you feel better and more in control. A therapist can teach parents with lupus practical techniques to manage the day. Family therapy can be a good idea too. It will allow your whole family to express themselves freely in a safe, controlled environment.
- Strengthen your relationship with your partner. If you're raising kids with a spouse, the two of you need to have a solid relationship. Inevitably, your lupus will put extra stress on your partner. It's important that you not let your relationship deteriorate so that you're the "sick one" and your partner is the caretaker, Katz says. "Even if you're worn out, there are still ways you can support your spouse," he says. "Give him or her a chance to talk about their day or their stresses. Do little things to help your spouse feel better."
Parenting with Lupus: How to Talk to Your Kids
You might feel uncomfortable talking to your kids about lupus. Lupus is unpredictable, and you may not be sure of your health in the long-term. It's tempting to avoid the subject. But that won't work for long. Even young kids will sense that something is wrong. If you don't talk about it, your kids might not ask — but they might worry in private.
As a parent with lupus, the best you can do is reassure your kids, realistically, about your health. Here are some tips for the conversation.
- Explain the basics. The specifics depend on your kids' age and your health. Talk about how lupus affects you, says Lisa Fitzgerald, MD, a rheumatologist at the Lupus Center of Excellence at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. It might make you tired, achy, forgetful, and cranky. Stress that you're getting good treatment and most people with lupus do well. Make clear that lupus is not like cancer — it doesn't get worse and worse. Instead, it's unpredictable — you'll have good days and bad days.
- Let them ask questions. Don't feel obligated to tell your kids everything about lupus, Katz says. Let your kids guide the conversation with their questions. If they ask about the scary stuff — like whether you might die — answer them in a reassuring way. But you're not obligated to talk about unlikely worst-case scenarios if they're not asking, Katz says.
- Ask them what they know about lupus. You really can't predict what your child might have picked up about lupus, Katz says. Your son might wonder why you seem so rundown compared to apparently healthy celebrities who say they have lupus. Or he might be terrified because he assumes lupus is a death sentence — all because a friend told him his grandmother died from it 20 years ago. Find out what they know and correct any misconceptions.
- Make it an ongoing conversation. When your discussion is winding down, make clear that it's not over. Tell your kids that they should come and ask you questions as they think of them. It might take some time for them to process the information and figure out what they want to know.

What is it about college girls and selfies. This one here took all her clothes off to get naked to sext out a selfie. She has a sweet shaven pussy, sure, but that doesn't mean she has to show it to everyone. Okay I was kidding, it's great she likes to share her boobs and snatch. But at least clean up your dorm room a bit.

Due to the recent hack of SnapChat accounts, this picture was stolen and is now being published on the various internets. It shows a college freshman whose name and location we will withhold until further notice. She is seen here going completely naked for a sexy selfie. She has great college boobs as well as a small pussy. She was sexting this picture to some guy she met online. She never thought her pic would now be shared so everyone could see her naked.

I knew that the University of Nebraska had some hotties but damn this one takes the cake. I'm sure this beautiful babe is going to fit right in when she starts school this fall. She is just 18 years old and is a freshman. I have a feeling she's going to be pretty popular with all the boys after someone Facebook's them a link to this College Regrets post.

Here's one we thought you'd like. I came across a site that focuses all about real college girls in some self shot stuff. This one in particular has a couple of straight babes kissing each other and trying out lesbian sex for the first time. Here's a direct link to see these university chicks making out. They're going to regret this later.

Couldn't have asked for a better place
The house in Windham was lovely: clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the views from the property and on the drive up were outstanding. I brought a group of friends up for a weekend out of the city and we all had a lovely time. Can't say enough good things about this place, and several of us are hoping to make it back there before too long! Thanks again!
Great Location, Lots of Room, Felt like home.
We were in town for a yoga festival, just up the road at Windham Mountain, it was the perfect location. We loved that our little dog was able to come along. Great back yard. Plenty of space for sleeping, two bedrooms, and a loft as well as couches.
Windham Condo Listing #268408
We absolutely loved this condo! We had plenty of room for 7 adults and 2 children! Very convenient to the slopes. We loved having all the comforts of home while we are away! Decorated nicely and very very comfortable! I highly recommend to all, and I hope to get back there next year!!!

Toyota MR2
EDIT: Turns out people are all crazy about this Toyota MR2 post I uploaded. Anyway, to clarify, I found that picture on Wallbase. It is a wallpaper website, so that means I found it that way. I don't edit pictures, so before you act like a child, explain yourself, or you are just making a fool of yourself. It is quite funny to be honest, how everyone gets mad because of a cropped picture. It is truly the end of the world because of it. I found it that way, so, not my problem. If it is your problem, then deal with it. And while you do that, I'm gonna go play some video games. Good day everyone (:

24 July 2012
To Bob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive, and the BSA Executive Board,
With this letter I am returning my Eagle Scout medal, badge, scarf, and merit badge sash, thereby relinquishing all previous and current association with Boy Scouts of America.
I act in solidarity with all gay boys, fathers, and mothers who will no longer be allowed to participate in this organization and its activities which I, as a boy who was not yet even considering his sexual orientation, was accepted into and benefitted from.
I act to prevent the indoctrination of assumedly heterosexual boys and families who might accept BSA's current ruling as anything more substantial than sanctioned ignorance (at best) or institutionalized homophobia (at worst).
Reflecting upon the Scout's oath which I was led to memorize and repeat—and believe—I recall that bigotry and discrimination are not included in said values. As a Scout I was educated, via multicultural-appearing pamphlets and rank-advancing service projects, to appreciate and embrace diversity. I was expected to recite "with liberty and justice for all," then acknowledge a Christ portrayed as all-accepting by stating the Lord's Prayer in conclusion of every troop meeting. Given this "moral" education and current BSA policy, a hypocrisy exists with which I cannot ethically accept or abide in any way, shape, or form.
Until this egregious and antiquated policy is reversed, I will only speak of BSA with direct and legitimate criticism. I will not deny the discipline, skills, and solidarity I gained as a Scout. However, until these experiences become available to all youth and families, I remain a Former Eagle Scout.
I am quite proud of my effort and accomplishment achieving this rank circa 1981, and I tremendously appreciate the support of my parents, leaders, and community in this success. Thanks to all of you! I am no longer and not at all proud or appreciative of Boy Scouts of America. Rather, I am sad, disappointed, disgusted, and taking great umbrage.
I imagine questions my own son—almost five years old—might ask when he learns an enticing club from which I, his father, joined and retired, categorically rejects and denies some of his friends and community members for sake of whom and how they love. The tough answers I will give, so long as this letter speaks in vain and intransigent prejudice persists, will unfortunately enlighten my boy (be he straight or gay or otherwise) to the ways of this culture in it's very poorest inculcation.
For myself and my inclusive family, Boy Scouts of America now serves to represent the sick and ailing shadow of American society rather that the optimistic shine I was sold on as a Tenderfoot, honored for as an Eagle, and expected to uphold as the contributing member of society I have since become.
Thank you for officially removing me from your ranks.
Sincerely and regretfully,
Mark Dooley of Bellingham, WA, Former Eagle Scout and Senior Patrol Leader Troop 301 Hutchinson, KS
MA Clinical Psychology, Master of Environmental Studies, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Child Mental Health Specialist, Certified Sexual Assault Services Provider, WA State Approved Clinical Supervisor
