New Immunization Requirements
Beginning with the start of the 2016-2017 school year, all pupils entering the 7th and 12th grade are required to be vaccinated
against Meningococcal (serogroups A, C, W, and Y) disease. One dose is required prior to entry into the 7th grade.
A second (2nd) dose of Meningococcal vaccine is required prior to entry into the 12th grade. The second (2nd) dose must be administered on or after the 16th birthday with at least eight weeks between the first (1st) and second (2nd) dose. If the first (1st) dose of Meningococcal vaccine was administered after the 16th birthday, a second (2nd) dose is not required.
This requirement shall be enforced progressively; therefore, the requirement shall be extended to 7th and 12th grade students in 2016, 7-8th grade and 12th grade students in 2017, 7-9th grade and 12th grade students in 2018, 7-10th and 12th grade students in 2019, 7-11th and 12th grade students in 2020, and 7-12th grade students in 2021.
I strongly urge you to call your healthcare provider or the Wood County Community and Wellness Center as soon as possible to get your child vaccinated. The phone number there is 419-354-9049 to make an appointment. The Health and Wellness Center offers evening hours and satellite offices in Northwood and Perrysburg. Call the number above for details.
The high school office will need documentation showing that your child has been vaccinated prior to the start of the school year or your child will not be allowed to attend school.
Please contact the school office with any questions or concerns or email the District Nurse, Chris Haas.

Multi-Channel Recording on Winchester Disks: Improving the Channel/Minute Ratio
The acceptance of the -tapeless studio- throughout the industry has been slow due to a variety of performance factors associated with Winchester Disk systems as the primary recording media. These factors include, overall transfer bandwidth, maximum density and storage time, disk interface characteristics, backup mechanisms and data formats. However, disk-based recording offers certain significant capabilities beyond tape systems, especially random access, virtual track storage and interactive track slipping. A new disk IO system is described which provides maximum disk performance at reasonable cost per channel-minute.

Costa Beck
Coordinates: 54°15′22″N 0°47′38″W / 54.256°N 0.794°W Costa Beck is a small river in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England.
The source of Costa Beck is Keld Head Spring to the west of Pickering. It is a tributary of the River Rye which joins the River Derwent, eventually flowing into the River Ouse at Barmby on the Marsh.[1] Costa Beck was used for ship transport by mills as early as 1200. It is an ancient Anglo Saxon name.
The waters of Costa Beck are noted for their crystal-clarity, and fly fishing is popular and available by arrangement, usually free of charge. Trout, dace, grayling, salmon, and pike can all be found in Costa Beck and kingfishers can be seen flying above. Today the river lies adjacent to Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo, where visitors occasionally come from to fish.

Its brand spanking new and that is pretty much what its got going for it NOW. I have never stayed in a hotel room with the sink in the main bedroom. It is awkward to get in and out of cubicles ( separate toilet and shower) with glass doors that open into each other and too close to the sink. The bedroom was small. With luggage, we could hardly move around. The little fridge hardly cooled the drinks. The terrace that overlooks the pool area is the size of a flower box. They had a small bench on it. One can't sit there and catch rays. The balcony is cement so no way to sit on the balcony and enjoy any view. We definitely couldn't sit two people on the terrace. The AC at least works but wish they had written instructions on how to set it. We thought we'd set the temps before we left and came back to a very hot room. It would have saved misery if they had instructions.
Breakfast is mediocre. Price is too much considering what there was. We happened to be staying here on a night when there was a major downpour and we'd gone out that night. The street the hotel is located OUTSIDE the BTDC was flooded in seconds. We had no choice but to wade thru floodwaters above the ankle. Motorcycles were driving on the pavement. Worst still is that there are open drains ( they have been like that for years) and those drains were covered in water and unmarked. Someone could just fall into one of those. We were scared but had no choice but brave it as it was late at night. Not exactly a dream experience. The room wifi connections sucked too. Housekeeping was inconsistent. The only thing the hotel has going for it is that it is new.

No Bull: Somerset House Is Staging An elBulli Exhibit
Somewhere between the lacklustre gazpacho you bring into work for lunch every day and your attempts at recreating your favourite dishes from Pinterest, there exists an actual art of food. And, while many can call the kitchen their studio, there is no culinary master quite like Ferran Adrià. So, you can imagine how delighted we were to learn that this summer, you can experience the retrospective exhibition of his work in Somerset House's elBulli: Ferran Adrià and The Art of Food.
In partnership with Estrella Damm, the exhibit is named after Adrià's iconic restaurant, elBulli, which was a favourite in Cala Montjoi for over 50 years. In fact, the restaurant was voted the world's best restaurant five times by Restaurant magazine and received over 2 million reservation enquiries for each summer season it was open. Quite the popular man.
Visitors to the exhibition can see multimedia displays of his team, his research (including handwritten notes and sketches), original tasting menus, and lots and lots of food photography. The exhibit will run from July 5 through September 29. Tickets are £10 and are available online.
Where: Somerset House, Strand, London, WC2R 1LA, United Kingdom; +44 20 7845 4600
When: July 5 to September 29
How much: £10

Goodbye Charizard... by AmazingArtistYellowWatch
©2014-2016 AmazingArtistYellow
In the Greninja reveal trailer for SSB4, Charizard is shown to be a lone fighter. I assumed Pokemon Trainer released him for whatever reason....
Don't worry Pokemon Trainer! Charizard will always remember you as the person who made him strong!

Why, dude, why? XD
Reminds me to "How to Train your Dragon".
the fucking poster child of genwunneritus
Man, this just wants me too cry forever.
I like to imagine that in response to the no form-changing rule, Pokemon Trainer chose Charizard to continue their legacy, watching from afar with a smile on his face. And this scene is of him telling Charizard "Good luck out there, Charizard. I know you'll do great out there" as it heads of to join SSB4.
I like to think about that because it makes me cry less..
I like to think about that because it makes me cry less..
Yeah, but Charizard still comes out of a Poké Ball in its stage entry animation.
The fact that Red (Pokemon Trainer) let go of charizard makes me want to cry forever!
Damn, this reminds me of the episode when Ash left his Charizard in the valley. TT__TT da feels
Why does he have to let him go ?
That's so sad
That's so sad
This evokes a lot of emotion. Letting go is always hard to do, but letting go of a pet (sort of) is virtually impossible.
What's this from?
again so sad but beautiful. I really like your icon.
Don't worry, Red: Charizard has a Mega Form now!
I remember those days...after defeating that rival jerk in Pokemon Fire Red I eneded my journey.....goodbye Apoy the Charizard
nooo not my little charizard!!!!
PT knows that Charizard can handle himself, so he sent him off to compete on his behalf while he trains Ivysaur and Squirtle.
Anybody notice it resembles Ash saying goodbye to his Charizard in the anime?
Charizard is just perfect !
My childhood PLZ !!!!!
My childhood PLZ !!!!!
OMG Why wasn't this a trailer????? Seriously Nintendo Needs you for this!
Beautiful so sad.
As an remembrance, his my second main character.
Did you make this yourself?
This is beautiful.
So, they let Charizard continue to be in the Smash Bros. roster, but they don't want Red anymore? This... this is... Why?
Is this a FANimation? Or is it officialy released by Nintendo/Game Freak?
Not again! Eyes, would you stop sweating!
OMG the feels ;_;
i wanna have his charizard :C

Buccaneers Sign DE Gholston to Four-Year Deal
Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 10:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 10:26 p.m.
TAMPA | That's three down, three to go for the Tampa Bay Bucs.
The Bucs have half of its 2013 draft class signed after defensive end William Gholston signed a four-year deal Tuesday. Financial terms were not available.
Gholston (6-foot-6, 281 pounds) was taken in the fourth round out of Michigan State. In 36 games, Gholson notched 142 tackles, including 13 passes defensed, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 30 tackles for loss.
With Gholston in the fold and fifth-round pick Steven Means and sixth-round pick Mike James (Ridge Community) signing Monday, only three of the team's draft picks remained unsigned. Second-round pick Johnthan Banks, third-rounder Mike Glennon and fourth-rounder Akeem Spence.

Catena Aurea - Gospel of Matthewby St. Thomas Aquinas
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Catena Aurea, or "Golden Chain," is a unique style of biblical commentary comprised of fragments from other existing commentaries. Aquinas' Gospel of Matthew features the teachings of St. Augustine, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Ambrose, The Venerable St. Bede, and other Church Fathers. Chapter by chapter, Aquinas draws together the biblical reflections of these great historical figures to create a continuous commentary on the Book of Matthew. This eight volume set was commissioned by Pope Urban IV in hopes that it would bring the Church a deeper understand of the early Christian faith. Aquinas' commentaries are excellent resources for biblical study because they contain a wealth of valuable references.

Patient Comments: Vertigo - Causes
Do you know what causes or brings on your vertigo?
A Doctor's View on Vertigo Causes
Read the Comment by Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD
Vertigo causes range from mild to very serious. Many cases of vertigo arise from disorders of the brain or inner ear. Vertigo causes include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, and migraines. More serious causes of vertigo include low blood pressure, brain tumors, bleeding into the brain, and loss of blood to the brain. Read the entire Doctor's View
Comment from: KelBecker, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: October 13
I suffer from severe vertigo when I get onto an elevator. Even going one floor will make me sick for hours and hours. I always use the stairs when possible. However in a recent trip we were placed on the 30th floor and were absolutely not allowed to use the stairs. In turn I was ill for all four days I was there. I have used the patch you put behind ear and it helped a little, however not enough to allow me to enjoy myself. I always ask for a ground/lower floor if possible.
Comment from: AceRockol, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: January 26
I had vertigo off and on for 7 weeks, always when I lay down on my right side in bed. I went to an ENT doctor, and he said it's either the crystals, or my neck. I have degenerative disk disease in a couple of neck vertebrae, as well as scoliosis. I'm really hoping it's the crystals and not my neck. Getting old is painful.
Comment from: carol d, Female (Patient) Published: January 22
I started have vertigo attacks about 2 years ago. I blamed it on a recent surgery for removal of part of my lung. The first one was strong, it pushed me to the floor. The rest of them were slight and manageable. I had another one today; a bad one. I held on to the table near to me, unable to walk for several minutes. Also, my face felt like a severe blush, a feeling of heat going through my whole body. Two hours later, I still feel unsteady. I am totally recovered from my surgery and don't know why this is happening.
Comment from: jay, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: December 10
I have vertigo, my mother and her father had it. In all of our cases, it starts around age 35. Episodes always begin while lying down, you roll over and find yourself (or the room) spinning out of control. It lasts from hours to weeks, depending on the severity of the initial episode. I have found sleeping with my head raised prevents it. Lying flat seems to cause it by allowing the rocks in your head to fall out of place. Prevention is to learn to sleep at an inclined angle, especially during an attack. Recliners that you can sleep in are great. Rules during an attack; don't look up, don't look down, no sudden head movement, and don't bend over.
Comment from: lbloom, (Patient) Published: October 31
Recently, while crossing a long high bridge on my bicycle I developed vertigo. I made it across the bridge but on my return trip I had to walk my bicycle. I have not experienced symptoms of vertigo at any other time.
Comment from: Mike, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: May 20
I am a male 51 years old, and I work for FedEx, drive semi for them. I have had vertigo for 2 weeks now, but I am back to work. The weird thing is that we have 5 drivers that have had vertigo.

Thank you Arthur for your comment on this boat rigging. I actually took this one as a joke for Nick - hence the rather strange title :)

I Reset the computer in my 1998 Chevy Astro, but even after driving around for a few days and putting it through the GM drive cycle, the OBDII reader is saying that the CAT monitor is not ready. I suspect there is a sensor somewhere that is sending incorrect information to the computer. Is there any way to diagnose this? Or at least a list of the precise conditions that need to be present in order for the CAT test to be completed? Thanks!

A script with a view
Tim Stimpson
Tim Stimpson is an Archers scriptwriter (the youngest ever). Here he shares with us some of the tricks of his trade, including the unique visualisation above - SB.
Whilst episodes written in September are now being broadcast and episodes written in October are being recorded. I'm now working on scripts for the middle of January. Normally there are four writers working at any one time, but because of the Christmas break we're working on two months of scripts meaning that there are eight of us writers busily typing away. Some of us look out across rolling hills, but I look out across a barbed-wired wall into the back of a postal depot in south Birmingham. Writing the Archers is my own imaginary escape to the country.
Reading the blogs this week has been quite interesting for me too. As a writer I only visit the Mailbox once a month for our regular script meetings and as one becomes engrossed in one's own scripts it's easy to forget that the machine that is 'The Archers' is still busily running away. After the script meeting we all head back to our homes in Bristol, Dorset, Cheshire - or in my case just four miles down the road - and wait by our inboxes for the storylines. We then have five or six days to write a synopsis and then twelve days to complete our six episodes.
I've already had a first sweep at most of my scripts. Generally I like to get them written as quickly as possible, which then gives me plenty of time to go back and tinker. Today I've already been busy redrafting my Tuesday episode. Because of restrictions with actor availability it's meant that my two main storylines have become tethered together. Normally I'd try to spread them out into separate episodes, but I'm rather enjoying having to interweave my two most high-powered storylines. They're both mainly two-headers, they're both emotional (although in different ways) and, as often happens as one goes along, I'm discovering themes and resonances between the two threads.
Writing for The Archers can often seems like a big puzzle. To help me get my head around this when I first receive the storylines I normally draw a graph with the days of the week along the x axis and the intensity of the individual storylines along the y. It sounds horribly technical (although I do draw it in pretty colours!) but it allows me to better understand the shape of my week. All the writers have a very different ways of approaching their scripts. For instance some prefer to start at Sunday and write straight through to Friday. I prefer to go with the mood I'm in that day. So if I'm feeling light-hearted I might choose to spend some time with Lynda and the Parish Council, or if I'm ready for something a bit more hard-hitting I might have a crack at... Oh but that would be giving the story away!
So - the sun is shining, the red vans of the Royal Mail have all left the yard and the cat, as usual, is trying to make her own contribution by walking across the keyboard. Where shall I go now? I think I head down to The Bull. I could do with a pint.
Tim Stimpson is a scriptwriter on The Archers
- Archers Week ran on the Radio 4 blog from 23-30 November 2009. 19 blog posts were published in all, from 17 authors. They're listed here.
- Radio 4's Archers web site is full of good stuff, like a map of Ambridge, family trees for all the big clans and a detailed who's who. There's also a 'two-minute guide' for Archers newbies.
- The Archers messageboards are among the busiest at the BBC - nicknamed Mustardland because of the distinctive yellow page backgrounds. They're a bit sceptical about Archers Week, though.
- There are two Archers podcasts: one for the daily episodes and one for the Sunday omnibus.
- Hedli Niklaus, who plays Kathy Perks in the serial, also runs the Archers fan club, Archers Addicts.
- Norman Painting, who played Archers patriarch Phil for nearly sixty years, died on 29 October 2009. The last episode he recorded aired on 22 November. Archers Editor Vanessa Whitburn paid tribute to him here on the blog and the Archers Addicts have collected listener tributes.
- During our visit to the Archers' home in Birmingham dozens of photographs were taken, many of which feature pictures of cast members (and an ironing board).
- Twitter was put to use during Archers Week. #archersweek was the hashtag and we learnt that Tim Bentinck, who plays David Archer (@timbentinck) and Keri Davies, who writes scripts (@keridavies) are both Twitterers. Follow the Radio 4 blog on Twitter.

Used with a pump capable of a maximum pressure of 60 psi, the hose split with minor leaks near both ends. I will probably attempt to repair it with gorilla tape since repackaging it and sending it back would not be worth the effort.
Thank you for your feedback.

Mixed impressions on update Rating down to 3 from 5 stars. Speed has indeed increased. Nice aesthetic touches. But now it's impossible to find the settings page anymore. It's difficult to navigate. It is not good when aesthetics override practicality. Still would like better highlights/shadows save and allow for increase/ decrease below zero (Instagram handles these better in my opinion).
Joy Rewards It's really good application you can discover new applications good The app works so good so far. Haven't tried to cash out yet and guess that will be the real test. Refer me and we both get coins to get more prizes (2379776) Great app easy to use, making cash is slow but much better than other similar apps that I've tried!
Why retiring sync feature? Well ui changes is quite a mistake. But its ok, i still can use it. Because i loved every filter from it. Some pictures are taken by my mirrorless camera, then usually i upload it to web. You know what? This app has very awesome feature, all pics are sync! But now, you want to retire the sync?? I hope you make all filter on this app to lightroom preset too, and i dont need to buy it again.
Bring back the Old UI! Yes, I originally gave this app 5 stars. Now it's down to 3. only reason? The new layout and User Interface is EXTREMELY difficult to navigate. Like, I get the whole minimalistic concept, but now I can't even get back to my image gallery from the discovery page and seeing other users images. When it's become that difficult to navigate your way through an app, that's when you know it needs to be simplified and more straightforward. Please heed my (and others advice) and go back to some sort of the old inter.
Awful Can't export any pics to Instagram anymore! For a really long time now. Just got the latest update and still nothing. And the UI just keeps getting worse! So confusing. So unfortunate, because the functions and filters are pretty cool.
MAKE AN UPDATE AND MAKE DSCO FOR ANDROID!!! I really really REALLY like this app but I hate how I can't use DSCO or even SEE the gifs on my phone!!! It bothers me so much that I don't like the app as much. On top of that I cannot change my profile picture. I would also like to mention that having to hold the images down to look at them is quite annoying. I know you can click on an image to expand it but then you can't scroll through them and it's just bothersome.
What's New
This version includes the following updates:
- Multiple Studio layout options -- configure your Studio layout with three different display size views: shelf view, square view, or two-column shelf view.
- Minor bug fixes and improvements.

Your Company's Secret Asset
You can't run your company without your assets ~ operating capital, equipment, buildings or machinery. You can't run your company without customers either. Actually, you won't have a company without customers. Have you considered that your most important asset is your customer base?
When do you most need the customer's perspective? On the day they purchase? Prior to a purchase? After a purchase? While all three of these choices are important when gauging the customer experience, thinking about the customer's perspective prior to a purchase is likely your best bet.
How much time have you spent planning the customer experience? Creating a plan and making the
customer experience a high priority can produce the ROI that meets your goals. Don't your customers deserve your annual planning time just as much as your mission statement does? We have to earn our customer's trust and business, so we'd better plan how to get it!
Customers are an asset. Just as you have an inventory of your vehicles, equipment, machinery and financials you need an inventory of your customers and a plan for growing your business through customers. Growth through customers ~ your secret asset.

What do you get when you survey turkeys?
Here's an excerpt from a recent conversation with a business owner (I'll call him Mark to protect the innocent) who expressed the need for a solution for a specific marketing challenge:
Me: "You've probably used surveys before, right?"
Mark: "Yeah. I'm not a big fan of surveys."
Me: "Why not?"
Mark: "People don't respond or they respond with dumb
Me: "Did you ask dumb questions?"
Mark: "Uh, maybe."
Treat a survey design like it's targeted to turkeys, and that survey will give you back some gobble, gobble. Give the survey some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and you will score way better results.
Whether you're surveying for customer feedback, market research, employee satisfaction, or community opinions these things matter:
the design format * the right questions * and the analysis
A survey I created last year for a client was aimed at improving the customer experience. My client and I carefully designed the survey, crafted great questions, and distributed the survey to a targeted audience. We received very helpful and specific responses which were analyzed and used toward customer experience enhancements at the business. Happy client. Happy customers.
Oh, and don't forget the next big thing. Use the results to make a difference in your business. Treat that survey with some respect, and don't target turkeys unless you're looking for Thanksgiving dinner. Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

You Can Create an Engaging Workplace
Psychologist Daniel Pink writes that people are driven by "autonomy, mastery, and purpose."
One of the top factors affecting the workplace and certainly a concern among entrepreneurs is finding a way to engage and retain employees. Although everyone likes excellent pay and would not turn down a raise, it may be surprising to learn that people are also after a more entrepreneurial and meaningful experience on the job.
Having a mission driven purpose that is understood and adopted by employees is one of the ways companies are able to engage and retain workers. There's a story told about a group of reporters at NASA who saw a janitor coming their way with a broom. They stopped him and asked, "What's your job here?" The janitor replied, "My job is to help put a man on the moon."
People like to know their opinion is valued, and they crave work that lets them leave a unique fingerprint on a finished product.(Josh Bersin, Bersin and Deloitte).
Company leaders should share customer feedback, good and bad, in a way that helps employees understand there will be celebrations for successes and they have a stake in helping correct mistakes.
It's never too late for companies to adopt and implement strategies to develop a more engaging workplace. Your employees will thank you for it.

How Strong is Your Trademark Name?
I consider myself very lucky to get to collaborate and network with smart women business owners. We all help each other become sharper and able to solve problems for each other and our clients. One of my smart women friends is Angie Avard Turner, an attorney specializing in business law for creatives. Here's what she had to say recently on her blog. Enjoy and learn!
"Above All Else Be Distinct"
We see lots of information about branding and how to create a brand that sticks. All of that information is vital when beginning a company. Quite frankly, many times we go and create the products and the goodies before we've even given the first thought of "the brand." A little backwards. What is even more backwards is when we think through the brand and the products and goodies, but do not think through whether this name is already being used; whether there are other products that have similar names that customers might confuse with mine; or whether the name is distinctive.
Whether a name or mark is distinctive is one of the ultimate questions in trademark law. Distinctive is an adjective that gets used relatively often in the English language, however in legal speak, there is a specific meaning. As you may already know, trademarks are words, names, symbols and other items that distinguish and identify the sources of goods or services. Unfortunately, not all trademarks are created equal. Whether a trademark is distinctive will affect whether it receives protection and to what degree.
In the realm of trademark law there is this phenom called the spectrum of distinctiveness. The spectrum demonstrates the range of distinctiveness from least to greatest. Obviously those marks that are the least distinctive will receive little to no protection, while those that are most distinctive will receive the most protection. Trademarks are like SAT problems if you think figuring it out was "too easy," then you are probably missing something and most likely got it wrong. There is an art to naming a business; it is not an exact science. If it were, we would not have all the court proceeding and litigation that we do!
So the question is, look at your mark, your brand, where does your mark fit in the spectrum? Are you distinct?

10 Ways to Gain Trust
I don't know of any other single factor in life or business that is more important than trust. I recently had a conversation on this topic with my nephew. He is experiencing "feel good moments" due to interactions with people who trust him in business and personal transactions. He's young and is seeing the value.
Has the world changed to the point that trust is harder to find than ever? I don't think so. I think it boils down to negative news from every direction. There are trustworthy people, and there are untrustworthy people. Always has been. Always will be.
All that really matters is this: In which category do you wish to be recognized and remembered?
Here are my tips, gained from years of experience, for gaining a reputation of trust:
- Listen carefully to what people have to say.
- Never over- promise just to get the business.
- Think of the relationship before thinking of the business potential.
- Treat others as you would like to be treated.
- Find out how you can help others, then do as much as you can.
- Do what you say you will do. Every time.
- If you screw up, admit it and apologize. Make it up to the person whether you got the business or not.
- Always, always be thankful and show it.
- Be genuine. If you aren't, it will show.
- Be a positive spirit and influence. You never know when someone you encounter needs it and remembers it.

Don't get sideswiped! Create your "AHA! Vision"
I consider October through February the "season for strategic planning" for every organization. We can't help but think of the current year's successes, failures, challenges and opportunities taken or missed. At the same time we begin focusing our attention on the things we desire for the coming year and longer. If organization leaders don't do this, the teams lose opportunities for focus and creative thinking.
It can be mind-boggling! Do you feel slightly (or a lot) overwhelmed at the thought of creating a vision that will truly speak to your brand, your mission, your passion and purpose? Were you able to focus on those areas during 2015 or were you sideswiped from your intended path?
Let's start a revolution! Strategic planning should be more about the Aha! moments that lead to a lasting vision. It's exciting, not dull. It's liberating, not restricting. It's fresh and memorable.
I've facilitated many strategic planning sessions over the years, and here is the common denominator:
Over time the leadership team gets distracted, failing to keep a laser focus on the vision and mission, forgetting to tie every strategy and action back to that vision and mission.
I want to hang around longer, past the day or two of planning, so when you get muddled and sideswiped; when you see the trees instead of the forest; when that 30,000 foot view is cloudy I step back in as your coach to keep you focused.
I've been where you are. I know the challenges, and it drives me crazy just as it does you, to miss those opportunities when they are right in front of me. You too, right?
So here we are in the season for creating the Aha! Vision. Jump on board, and let's take this journey together. Call or email for a chat. Here are my open dates for the first part of 2016 + one in December:

Fears are little white lies
What are you afraid of? Okay, I'll guess. Is it public speaking? Mountaintops? Death? I'll tell you my greatest fear: rats. Oh, go ahead. You may want to call them mice as if they are sweet little pets. To me they are rats, and they are nasty and deadly!
But, before we get too far down that ratty hole, the topic of fear begs to be discussed, sliced and diced. In the business and career world fear can raise its ugly head every now and then. When opportunities and challenges knock on your door, it's better to be prepared and ready than to roll into a fetal position. I must admit I have never seen a rat in my entire career. Well, except the boss I'm about to tell you about.
Everyone is afraid of something. Once I had a boss who was afraid of being nice. I'm not joking. This woman (thing) could not be nice if I had choked her into it, which I was sorely tempted to do. I could not change her, but she could have changed herself and thus her career success if she had so desired.
I've held a few personality test workshops lately with a focus on leadership and communication. From my experience in this area I can promise you there are people who are afraid of many things, such as:
a) fear of losing control
b) fear of being in control
b) fear of not being noticed
c) fear of being noticed
c) fear of change
d) fear of no change
d) fear of poor performance
The list of fears goes on and on. Books can and probably have been written about fear.
To slice and dice fear ( I bet that's a fear too - slicing and dicing) here are some ways to overcome your fears.
1) The first step is to admit your fear head on because that will enable you to move beyond it.
2) Decide that conquering the fear is more important than holding on to the security your fear brings.
3) Acknowledge the difference between rational fears and irrational fears (i.e. drinking and driving vs mice).
4) Do that thing that scares you. Now. Make the appointment. Ask for the sale. Write the first page of the book. Confirm a speaking engagement.
5) Train yourself to look forward to the energy and excitement of conquering the fear.
Speaking business here, I know you will benefit and grow when you overcome your fears. The worst thing you can do is sit around and admire others whom you feel are more confident, brave, adept than you, falsely believing you're not up to the challenge. It's simply not true. Everyone of those you admire has fears too. I promise.
You can overcome your fear and realize the success you've dreamed of. Get started now!

Skip to comments.Cheers for Dr. No (Senator Tom Coburn!)

Dinghy Harry Reid bites the dirt again! Reid, the pile of cow manure that declared The War in Iraq Lost on The Senate Floor is a dispicable Traitor! GOD BLESS SENATOR COLBURN!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Yup he's my senator.
Bump for Tom Coburn.
I love it every time the pathetic whiner Reid whines.
And he's a good Doctor. There was an article on here the other day about how the Democrats were going after him for delivering babies for free.
D'oh...I have serious senator envy. Mine are Obama and Durbin. Man, I miss Peter Fitzgerald.
The only Senator that makes Dinghy Harry Reid look good relatively speaking in comparison, is Senator(in absentia)
Osama Obama Bin Ladin HUSSEIN:-P
And hes a good Doctor. There was an article on here the other day about how the Democrats were going after him for delivering babies for free.
Some don't want anyone delivering babies at all.
I'll join you drowning your sorrows. I've got Boxer and Feinstein in the Senate and, in a nearby district, Pelosi.
Big Brass Ones!
Of course the media story is "Women and Minorities hurt most by Evil Republican skinflints".
Those belong to One Hung Low, right?
This is really nasty of me, but I genuinely enjoy hearing/watching Dingy have one of his childish temper tantrums.
Buck it up Harry. Maybe retirement is looking better?
If all GOP Senators had the courage of Sen. Coburn this would be a different country because they would still be in the majority.
**God bless Oklahoma and its best family practice/obstetrician in Congress! **
Ditto that!
Dr. No is the name given to Congressman Ron Paul.
ohh rah to a real Dr. No, not just to Dr. Games RINO from TX14 who likes to act like he is a Dr. No.
He was actually a fairly moderate senator before he became majority leader. His voting record was not all that different from Arlen Specter. That's why I don't think he can even believe half the s*** he's peddling.
He should be President. Oh well.
Don't think so, unless One Hung is of Bovine ethnicity.
Instead of working with Coburn, Reid put all the bills into one package in an attempt to steamroll over him. He forced a vote on Monday on what senators had taken to calling the "Tomnibus" bill. Reid got an assist from the media, which portrayed Coburn as an old crank pinching pennies from mothers and children. But Republicans stood with Coburn and Reid failed. Reid was furious. "We will not be able to take these up at a later time"...Reid's correct -- the Demwits are going to lose both houses -- well, all three houses, two of Congress, and the White. Thanks neverdem.
"I love it every time the pathetic whiner Reid whines."
That means you're getting a lot of free entertainment. Every time I hear Reid he's whining. But since he looks like an undertaker and he replaced another whiner (Tom Daschle), I expected that from the start. For me that's the true face of the modern Democratic Party!
