2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R vs. 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 - Head 2 Head Ep. 71
There's a muscle-car war brewing in Detroit these days. Right as the handling-champion Z/28 goes out of production, Ford delivers a Shelby-badged suckerpunch with a flat-plane-crank V8, MR dampers, and carbon fiber wheels. Head 2 Head host Jason Cammisa takes the two through a series of challenges: first, some canyon carving to see which car is better on the road. Then, a Dyno shootout: can the GT350R's 5.2-liter Voodoo make more power than the venerable 7.0-liter LS7? And then, it's onto Chuckwalla Valley Raceway where Jason and racecar driver Randy Pobst find out not only which one is faster around the track, but which car handles best. No muscle-car comparison test would be complete without a drag race, of course, so Cammisa lines up the cars with the help of his cousin Bob from West Virginia. This episode of Head 2 Head, presented by Tire Rack, is the one-stop shop for everything you need to know about the latest Detroit muscle-car rivalry.

I used this example to test the GPS location via Javascript on my website :
The problem is that I always get 0 (zero) instead of the latitude / longitude / timestamp
I use the Blackberry Browser
I've noticed that in Options / Device / Location Settings / Location
I get :
Last update : None
Latitude : N 0 0.00'
Longitude : W 0 0.00
Accuracy 0.0 m
Number of satellites : 0
Address : Unknown
My settings are :

In the Browser Options :

Do you have any suggestion to solve this issue ?
Thank you,
Ok after 3 hours trying everything, I got some data in "Options / Device / Location Settings / Location"
And the web site started to work as well ...
But the thing is that it seems it retrieved the data only once since now the "last update date" is not changing and the data neither ...
I tried to move in the buidling but no luck, what triggers the updates ?
Thank you,
Finally I took the phone with me after work and once in my car it started to get the location data more often, so I guess moving triggers it ... kinda weird it had no data at all before and with all the big windows in my office, it's weird it does not get the location from inside
BB's geolocation (cell tower triangulation versus GPS satellites) is horrible. See how quickly an Apple device locates using triangulation before it can lock on to satellites. Google Maps for BB has its own triangulation component that works well. Having trouble using Facebook places or any other 3rd party app? it's because BB only really works with satellites. That "location aiding" feature can be enabled, but it doesn't appear to do anything.
A question about geolocation and Google Maps: you say Google Maps has its own triangulation components; in effect it works fine using os5 (I'm on Bold 9700), but it doesn't work using os6 and 3G Vodafone network: BIS disconnects everytime the app tries to find position using cells. It works in any other conditions (GPS, 2G, WiFi).
Where is the problem? RIM, Vodafone, or something else?
Paolo, my guess is RIM. It's probably just another security "feature" that cannot be controlled by the user.

Low dosage and no problems with use for toddler child. I wish that NOW would use screw on tops so I could recycle the bottles for other uses.

200IU is the right amount as E supplement. Not many vendors provide natural mixed Tocopherols in 200IU.
Praise for NOW
Posted by Reviewer2101511 on Nov 27, 2007
I have tried many different brands of supplements and find that I can tell the difference is the supplement is doing what it is supposed to. NOW, in my opinion, is one of the best brands out there. I am still testing the Doctor's Best. I love Jarrow, too. It is important to get the best for a reasonable price. I have tried other brands which cost more but did not see any significant difference.

Foreign demand for euro banknotes issued in Germany: Estimation using indirect approaches
In this paper, we endeavour to determine the volume of euro banknotes issued by Germany that is in circulation outside Germany. In so doing, we draw a distinction between banknotes outstanding in non-euro-area countries and those that are in circulation in other euro-area countries. The analysis is based on approaches that estimate the volume of banknotes in circulation outside Germany indirectly. The observation period runs from 2002 to 2009. We discover that, at the end of 2009, a total of roughly two-thirds of Germany's cumulated net issuance of euro banknotes was in circulation outside Germany. The lion's share of roughly €160 billion was in non-euro-area countries, with the remaining €80 billion in other euro-area countries. Thus, the volume of German euro banknotes in circulation in Germany accounted for only roughly one-third of all banknotes issued by the Deutsche Bundesbank (€350 billion). This confirms the results of direct approaches.

PC(USA) membership lies in medium-sized congregations
May 12, 2015
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) members, by and large, belong to churches with medium-sized congregations of between 150 to 599 members, according to 2014 statistics released by the Office of the General Assembly.
Based on the numbers, 708,062 congregants—42.5 percent of total membership—belong to churches directly in the middle between small- and large-sized congregations. That breaks down to 349,241 in churches with membership between 150 to 299, and 358,821 in churches with membership between 300 to 599.
"The PC(USA) is a church made up of vibrant congregations doing their best to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ in their communities and in the world," said the Reverend Gradye Parsons, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the PC(USA). "Membership declines continue, but on a whole the denomination is settling into the new thing God is creating."
Total membership at the end of 2014 was 1,667,767. That's compared to 1,760,200 at the end of 2013 and 1,849,496 at the end of 2012.
The total number of churches in 2014 was 9,829, compared to 10,038 in 2013 and 10,262 in 2012. Significant of the 209-church loss of 2014 was the fact that only 101 of those were dismissed to other denominations, a decrease from the 148 congregations dismissed to other denominations in 2013.
Also significant was the tally churches reported of non-members their congregations served or ministered among in 2014 through activities, programs, and outreach. The average reported was 815 people.
"Membership statistics and church numbers tell one story, but it's not the entire message of how the PC(USA) is impacting the world," Parsons said. "God continues to breathe new life into our work and challenges us to find new, creative ways to touch and transform lives."

Having been a PCUSA 24 year member the new thing is an old thing God's people have always gravitated to; to fit into the worlds aspirations and ways. Our sexual ethics, and social justice doctrines are pretty much echoes of the secular culture. So I guess the new thing is assimilation, and conformation.
I am a disappointed, lifelong Presbyterian who has never felt more alienated or forgotten by my Presbyterian parish. Presbyterians do a terrible job of reaching out to lift up their fellow parishioners. Congregational care at my church is very weak, and the minister in charge comes across as a bit brusque. I never thought I'd be faced with looking for an entirely new Christian denomination, but I have no faith in the Presbyterian Church as being a house of God any longer. I feel that my church is more of a social club or country club, rather than a pillar of the Holy Trinity.
I don't see how these statistics reflect us "settling into the new thing God is creating." This is the largest statistical loss ever.
The Press Release says "information released by...." Where was it released? The two PDFs linked don't have the information in the press release. Where's the whole report that this PR summarizes?
With all this hand wringing, it is good to recall that it is God's church, and that we shall undertake the mission even at risk to our own life. It is also good for us to remember John 6:55-69. "Do you want to leave too?" Jesus asks the 12. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
This partly because of the 15 largest PCUSA churches in 2004: 7 left for ECO 1 left for EPC 1 is in legal disputes, 1 is going through a dismissal process. Of the remaining, 2 of the 5 are part of the Fellowship.
If my arithmetic is correct, the PC(USA) will be extinct in 18 years. Total Membership 2014 1,769,200 Total Membership 2014 -1,667,767 Members Lost 92,433 1,667,767/ 92,433 = 18 years Question: What can be done (we do) to help reduce/prevent this loss?
This headline seems a good example of obscuring another drastic membership loss for the PC(USA) ... over 92,000 members gone, which is 5.5% of the total.

Green Bay -- Running back Ryan Grant scored a major victory in his negotiations with the Green Bay Packers, agreeing to terms on a four-year contract loaded with incentives and escalators that could earn him $30 million, his agent Alan Herman told the Journal Sentinel.
'He's very happy,' Herman said. 'It's been a dream year for him.'
The Packers started out offering only a $1.75 million signing bonus, but Herman was able to negotiate a deal that will pay Grant a $3 million roster bonus when he signs the contract and another $1.25 million through base salary ($750,000) and another roster bonus ($500,000).
Thus, Grant will earn $4.25 million this year. Over two years, his take will be $8 million.
Herman said that there are many layers of incentives and escalators that will compensate Grant handsomely if he produces the way he did last year when he rushed for 956 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games.
If Grant rushes for 1,500 yards this year, he will earn another $4 million in 2009, Herman said. If he only rushes for 1,000 yards he would only earn an additional $1 million.
Herman said the base salaries in the contract were set but the incentives and escalators will determine Grant's income each year. He said based on the way Grant plays the next four years, he could earn $30 million or $24 million or $18 million.
He said the four-year deal will allow Grant, 25, to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2011 season.
One of the benefits for the Packers is that all of Grant's earning this year will count against the salary cap right away rather than carry into next season and beyond. The Packers are $30 million under the salary cap and so they have plenty of room to take on Grant's salaries.
Most teams would have made the $3 million roster bonus a signing bonus so that the cap charge could be pro-rated over four years. As a roster bonus, all of it counts this year.
Herman said the two sides spoke on Thursday, but there was no communication on Friday. Then Herman reached negotiator Russ Ball this morning and the two spoke for nearly six hours straight before finalizing the agreement around 6 p.m.
Herman said regardless of whether Grant makes it to the Pro Bowls four straight years or plays a significant amount of time, he's going to make good money on the deal. The Packers had submitted a one-year, $370,000 tender offer that secured their rights to the second-year running back, but Grant refused to sign.
Feeling his situation was unique -- he was on the Giants' practice squad in 2005 and sat out all of 2006 with a non-football releated hand injury -- Grant wanted a multi-year deal that would guarantee he would be compensated well if he played at the same level he did last year.
Grant was acquired for a sixth-round pick from the Giants shortly after he had been informed he had made the team and suddenly found himself in Green Bay the first week of the regular season. He was a backup behind Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn until exploding for 104 yards in the Denver game.
He became the starter after that and rushed for 100 yards five more times, including his 201-yard playoff performance against the Seattle Seahawks. Only San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson had more rushing yards (947) over the season's final 10 weeks.

Good frame for your winter / hack/ beater bike
By mb103580
from Sacramento
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Nashbar Cyclocross Frame:
Brought this frame as a winter hack / beater bike. One to ride when the roads are wet and gritty with big tires and fenders. It was a replacement for another brand of cyclocross / touring frames that cracked around the bottom bracket. Great frame overall, but the steering column is about an inch to tall for what I really wanted, but that was expected as I like a more racing position. However, my main concerns are the lack of a rear brake bridge. Using canterlever brakes, was disappointed at no bridge to be the outer cable stop. Finally, riding shimano cranks, the clearance between my 170 cranks and the lower chainstay is millimeters. Using a 2 part crankset with no give only just gives me clearance after is shimmed out one side of my bottom bracket. Not sure 175 cranks would fit. Could just be my frame.Really for the price I paid, happy to have a winter bike that will take a hammering.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Brutally Strong amazingly light.
By Barry the phone guy
from Princeton NJ
Lighter and more massive than the steel frame it replaced.It gives a smoother and more stable ride.
Good value
By Shrimp
from NYC
I originally built this as a commuter bike with internal hub. Since converted for gravel trails, road, and general purpose bike. Using the Vuelta Starlite 29" Mountain Wheelset, 35 tires, triple raceforce crank (48/36/26), disk brakes, shimano 10 speed cassette, Nashbar Carbon Cyclocross Fork ( heavy fork) and shifters (decore) it ended up weighing 26 lbs. More than I expected but about right for the money invested.It seems to handle well and quickly gets into turns and is more than stable enough for the riding I do. The build on this bike is quite easy. I recommend this providing you do not expect the performance/comfort of a high end carbon fiber cyclecross bike. I prefer it to the low end carbon frames that cost more/ are too stiff and brittle and just exist so you can tell your friend you have a carbon bike.This is a beater, a good beater, that works well with low end components.

Excellent frame
By Eric Lahti
from Albuquerque, NM
My wife got me this frame for Christmas and it was my first bike build. Got it built, been riding it frequently. It's a great frame, light as a feather, and set up for pretty standard parts. I kitted it out with a mixture of FSA and SRAM components and have been having the time of my life on it.

You get what you pay for
By Sean
from New York
The geometry and measurements of the frame are very strange. I had seen that others who had purchased the frame received one with 135mm rear spacing, I was not so lucky. With a rear spacing of 130mm and disc mounts I have to wonder how I am even supposed to use this frame. Another oddity I noticed are that the rear rack eyelet holes are different sizes.... Wish I could return
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

See all my reviews
I am very pleased with this frame. It is Large size and seems to fit me great at 6 ft tall. Alignment on frame is perfect as all my parts fit nice on frame. Like the gloss black paint too. Also comes with extra derailleur hanger and rear spacing is 135 which is nice. Overall great frame for a great price in my opinion.

This frame is a gem. No issues. A very decent CX frame for the money. 1740g for my frameset. which is in the ballpark for a aluminium cx frame.

I built this up as a singlespeed budget cx and commuter bike. With quality budget oriented parts, it weighs just over 19 lbs. Everything was assembled just fine, BB threads were good/straight, headset install was easy, no problems overall.

Excellent, versatile budget frame
By fanofpooh
from eastern Washington
It looks as if Nashbar is listening to its customers. After reading some of these reviews, I had a few reservations about ordering this frame, but ultimately couldn't resist the bargain. Having assembled and road-tested my new multi-role bomber, I'm relieved and delighted.First, let me address problems mentioned by other reviewers. The brake bosses on my 60cm frame are correctly located for 700c wheels, placing the pads well within the range of my Tektro RX-5 brakes. Dropout spacing is 130mm, which will be a challenge with a disk brake. Seat-tube bottle eyes are high enough to clear my high-mounted 105 derailleur. My fork measures 405mm from crown race to axle with 48mm offset, and the steering is just what I wanted -- easy and stable, but not clumsy. Head tube angle with this fork is a conservative 72 degrees, not the extreme 70.5 shown in the geometry table. I haven't measured the trail, but it should fall well within the favored range. Seat tube angle is 73 degrees as advertised. My Truvativ Rouleur crankset clears the chainstays without need for extra spacers.The welds and gloss black paint bely the bargain price of this frame; it's very handsome. Chainstay proctectors are pre-installed on both sides. Tire clearance is cavernous (easily enough for 40mm slicks) and toe clearance is generous for me. My 60cm frame weighs 4.28 pounds, per my digital fish scale; that's exactly one pound less than the Reynolds steel frame it replaced, and the Nashbar is far more rigid.The ride is comfortable, responsive, poised, and secure on a wide variety of surfaces. For a bike that stretches 107cm between axles, it climbs like a leopard, yet with 32-35mm tires it's still comfortable on crumbling blacktop. It tracks solidly on pavement or off, feeling less nimble than a racer while needing less concentration. I haven't tried the bike under load yet, but in every other way it rides and handles beautifully. My frame was delivered with a mangled derailleur hanger, but I assembled it with the spare and Nashbar happily sent a replacement. My only niggles (and I'm really racking my brain here) are that the frame has only one eyelet in each dropout and lacks a chain hanger. If you own a bike with decent running gear and want a lively, comfortable, truly versatile machine, I doubt anything near this price can match this impressive frame. Thanks, Nashbar!

TDU2 Casino: Winning the $2 million car
I actually managed to get into the casino on Test Drive Unlimited 2 and won the $2 million Audi on the slots. Didn't take that long to get it. Probably took longer to actually get into the damn casino. Test Drive Unlimited 2 is all kinds of broken right now. Servers are unreliable, clubs are down so they can fix exploits people ALREADY found, casino access is intermittent, there are other issues with multiplayer and friends lists etc... Don't have this game yet? Wait another month or two, or whenever they release a patch or fix their servers. This video was created using assets from "Test Drive Unlimited 2" published by Atari.

A Tough Summer
Steps To Stop Stress
August 2013 — It's been a rather painful summer around our house. A father-in-law's unexpected accidental death, a son's sudden clinical depression and a subsequently missed 30th wedding anniversary trip to Eastern Europe have made for some unusually high sugar readings. All of which has had me thinking about stress and diabetes.
Everyone knows there is a connection. In part, the rise is due to a cortisol uptick in people with type 2 diabetes that can help to drive up glucose levels. But for me, anxious times also lead to stress eating. The more frayed my nerves become, the quicker I dive for the potato chips and raspberry truffle ice cream.
My son's depression hit first. As someone who also suffers with depression, I had prayed that this disabling disease wouldn't plague my children. The good news is that because of all I have gone through, I knew precisely how to deal with it, and thanks to medication and therapy, he is getting better.
But close on the heels of my son's moving into a better mental space, my beloved father-in-law died. Following his memorial service, his funeral reception was held at our house, which meant that foods that are never allowed past my front or back door have been arriving daily. Bakery blueberry tarts, homemade peach tarts and caramel apple walnut pie, to name but a few.
I tell myself that I'll only have "one bite" but that single bite has led to two, three and eventually a full piece. Not to mention the refrigerator stacked with gift platters of high fat roast and corned beef, plus potato salad and coleslaw. For the day of the reception I ordered reasonably healthy nibbles. Yet who reaches for whole wheat wrapped roasted vegetables when oily Dan Dan noodles are in the house?
One life lesson: Comfort food is called that for a reason.
The irony in my rising sugars is that although he was rail thin and exercised on his bike into his eighties, my father-in-law also had type 2 diabetes. As a person with diabetes, he took better care of himself than anyone I've ever met – writing down every bite he ingested, monitoring his sugars seven and eight times a day, reading up on the latest diabetic prescriptions. He was constantly after me, asking questions about how I dealt with my care and my Bydureon injections. He envied my good A1C readings, wanting to know how I'd managed to stay in the low sixes and high fives.
In my experience, once it's started, a stress binge is hard to stop. But perhaps the best way to honor my father-in-law's memory and my son's success is to take back diabetic control.
Luckily, there are many ways to do this. Taking a walk, finding time to meditate, exercising. Although the trip to my weight lifting class is more difficult than rolling off the couch to fetch another slice of coffee cake, I know that with the knowledge that all good and bad things must come to an end, come Monday, I'll be back on the program.
For my father-in-law, my son, my family and myself.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay.

Painting isn't just what we do, it's our passion.
We take great pride in taking an average home and creating something extraordinary!
We understand the difference a beautiful exterior makes, and since your home is uniquely yours, it should reflect your personal tastes. Our goal is to give you the exterior color options you want while providing you with the quality and service that only a full service painting company can offer. In fact, we won't just paint, we want to help you choose!
Choosing Colors
Nothing looks better than complementing colors which will make a world of difference in how your home looks. Colors that complement each other create a sight that is very pleasing to the eye, and curb appeal is what it is all about. It's your home's ability to make that fantastic first impression to welcomed guests or just passers by. Think about it, a home that is pleasing to look at is more welcoming than one with unsightly colors that do not work well together.
The pallet of exterior paint colors available today can be overwhelming if you don't already know the color range you want. We will help you choose colors that work for you and your home. We will help you choose the perfect colors for your siding, trim, shutters, doors, and other external components. Remember to check with your homeowner's association before we get started!
Thinking of selling your home?
Increased curb appeal means increased value! It's no secret that a freshly painted home is more attractive than one with chipped or peeling paint. Spruce up the exterior of your home with new, updated colors before you put it on the market for better results. Our expert painters will help you choose the best colors for your home, neighborhood, and landscape.
We make average homes extraordinary
Don't be just another average home in an average neighborhood where every home mirrors the one beside and across from it. Exterior paint makes an incredible difference in a home's appearance. Choose colors that complement each other, your personal tastes, and your landscaping. You may be surprised how quickly your home can go from average to extraordinary.
No matter what you choose to do regarding the exterior of your home, our professional painters are up for the task. No job is too big or too small and no challenge too great. Call us any time to discuss your ideas or for a free consultation with one of our experienced professionals.
Dowd Restoration recently finished painting the exterior of my house. Jim made the entire experience very smooth and trouble-free. The preliminary work-scraping, priming, patching, etc.-was very expertly done, and everything was completed in a timely manner. There were some complications due to a new roof and some woodwork repairs being done during the same time period, once that was completed, Jim was over quickly to take care of all the touching up and additional repainting necessary.
The crew was very friendly and polite. They also worked very hard and answered all questions we had. We were also amazed at how a new paint job and colors can totally change the look of a house. We love the new look. Definite two thumbs up!
I was very pleased with the work Jim and his crew did! I had a huge hole in my ceiling left by a plumber fixing a leak, and had a 2nd hole in the ceiling left from my ac installers. They fixed both of these areas and the place looks like new! They even fixed a small issue in the wall that I caused when trying to replace my curtain rod. I highly recommend Dowd Restoration and I'll definitely be calling them again.

Racing Metro fully endorse Ireland's decision to field Johnny Sexton against Italy in Dublin on Saturday, according to Joe Schmidt.
Head coach Schmidt scotched talk of a rift between Ireland and French Top 14 club Racing over Sexton's thumb ligament injury saga.
Sexton will start the penultimate RBS Six Nations clash against the Azzurri, where victory would keep Ireland's title hopes alive.
The fly-half damaged thumb ligaments in Ireland's 13-10 defeat to England at Twickenham on February 22.
Racing coach Laurent Labit last week gauged Sexton's injury recovery at 10 days to six weeks, sparking fears the 28-year-old may not feature again in this year's Six Nations tournament.
Ireland issued a hastily-prepared statement in a bid to allay those concerns, a move vindicated by Sexton's recovery.
Former Leinster boss Schmidt has cut a frustrated figure throughout the season every time Racing have overplayed their star recruit Sexton.
For once though, the former schoolteacher is unfazed by the latest Sexton fuss, claiming there was never any issue with the Paris club, save perhaps the odd loss in translation.
"The thing with Johnny is that he sprained his thumb, there's nothing that is untoward about it," said Schmidt.
"He'll strap it up, just like players strap their shoulders, strap their ankles, strap things to try to give them a little bit of support.
"But apart from that he's good to go.
"Now one of the things is that injuries have to be managed, and one of the things that happens is that if you do sprain something or you get a little bit of internal bleeding, that affects the movement of the joint, it creates pain in the joint, and once that inflammation and pain subsides and the bruising goes, then the joint is pretty much functional and away you go.
"So it was just a case of making sure that Racing and ourselves were confident that the progress in the injury was sufficiently good for Johnny to be passed fit, which he was.
"He saw a hand specialist on Monday evening, and he's fit to play.
"If you get a bit of ligament damage, which is what happens in a sprain quite often, then it can be 10 days to six weeks.
"But we're 10 days since he did it, and so he's good to go."
Ulster's 22-year-old back-five forward Iain Henderson replaces hamstring injury victim Peter O'Mahony in Ireland's only change from the narrow England defeat.
Ireland, France, England and Wales can all yet claim the Six Nations crown.
Points-difference tallies could decide the championship, with Ireland taking on France in Paris in the campaign-closing fixture on Saturday, March 15.
Ireland boss Schmidt appreciates the need for a handsome victory this weekend, but warned there is no such thing against Italy these days.
"Yes we'd love to go to Paris with a good differential, but we need to go to Paris with three wins, and that's the primary concern," said Schmidt.
"If you push too hard for scores too soon, you frustrate yourself and make it harder.
"So we've got to have patience in what we do."

Pitt suffered one major injury in its loss to Utah Thursday - starting safety Dom DeCicco pulled his hamstring and was knocked out of the game in the first quarter.
DeCicco is now officially listed as day-to-day but when asked him today Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said simply "he's doing fine" and then added "I'm not going to get into day-to-day injury things. He is doing fine. He is doing better, I should say."
Pitt plays New Hampshire Saturday.

Makes 4 servings
Tea eggs are just one of a variety of seasoned hard-cooked egg dishes that are popular in China. The shells of the cooked eggs are lightly cracked with a spoon, and the eggs are then simmered in an aromatic tea-based liquid, which leaves an attractive marbleized pattern on the whites when they are peeled. The eggs themselves take on the delicate flavors of soy and star anise. These eggs make a great snack or hors d'oeuvre, but they are also delicious cut up in a salad or a bowl of broth.
8 eggs, preferably medium
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry
4 star anise
1 strip (1/2 x 2 inches) orange zest
3 cups water
3 Lapsang Souchong tea bags, strings removed
Toasted sesame oil for rubbing the eggs (optional)
1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain off the water, cover the eggs with cold water and let stand until cool enough to handle.
2. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, sherry, star anise, orange zest and water in the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the tea bags.
3. When the eggs are cool, gently tap them with the back of a tablespoon so the shells are evenly cracked. Do not peel. Using the spoon, carefully lower the eggs one at a time into the simmering liquid. If it does not cover the eggs entirely, add more water. Cover the pan and simmer for 1 hour.
4. Transfer the eggs to a bowl or small casserole with a lid. Cover with the hot liquid and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate, preferably overnight.
5. Drain, peel and pat each egg dry. Rub with sesame oil, if desired. Serve halved or quartered.

Project: Trim Trees
Comments: There is a reason The Lone Star Tree Czar (Larry) is rated higher than the other companies. Larry is the first person to contact you when you place a Home Advisor request. Provided they have access to your yard they will do a site survey, give you a price quote and you don't have to be home for the evaluation. When the job is performed, once again you do not have to be home and when they leave you won't have any clean up to perform. With the exception of very small one-quarter inch chips of wood from the chain saw in the grass, you won't know they were in your yard. All branches and leaves were removed and taken away by the tree trimmer. They did an outstanding job with the tree trimming and I will use them again in the future.

Larry Moak (owner) and his crew were very professional. The work was completed in a timely manner to our full satisfaction. Larry fully explained everything they intended to do and our questions were answered in a polite and courteous manner. I had no prior experience or knowledge of The Lone Star Tree Czar and after researching their history (reviews) via Home Advisor and others we are pleased we made the right choice to have our trees trimmed. I would recommend Larry and his crew to anyone who is looking for quality workmanship at a fair & reasonable price.

Comments: I had two trees trimed and the canopys opened up. I had one tree cut down and removed. The crew showed up on time and got right to work. They cleaned up all of the debris and hawled it off. They sealed the cuts on the trees which were trimed and applied a chemical to the stump to kill what was left. Great job!

Project: Trim or Remove Trees and Shrubs
Comments: I had two trees taken down. One pine and one oak and both within 12 feet of house +100 feet growing over roof of my house and neighbors, heck the diameter of the trees is 24 and 37 inches... The trees were taken down and debris removed over two days. I marked my sprinklers and after they left I tested them and Yes they all worked. They did great job on removal and I had them trim another live oak to let light in as grass was dying underneath. Now I have sunshine for the dirt and will plant grass next season. Would hire them again to trim my trees as maintenance and do a another removal if needed. Negative is that I had to remove 1 trash can full of chain saw dust from the yard but then again there was A LOT of wood cut.

What are your thoughts on Odysseus? Is he a villain or a hero? The ancient philosophers had many differing views on him. One view that struck me was held by Antisthenes, a disciple of Socrates. Antisthenes used the actions of Odysseus as a defense against those who attacked the discipline of philosophy as mere sophistry; that is focusing on words not deeds. Antisthenes presented Odysseus as someone whose words themselves were good deeds. Further, the actions of Odysseus showed his abilities as a team player, a cooperative hero. Recently, I thought about the concept of Odysseus and words as good deeds in the context of the post-acquisition requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Although not specifically stated in the recently released Department of Justice (DOJ)/Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) FCPA Guidance, enforcement actions from 2011 and 2012 would seem to indicate that a company should have an integration completed in 12-18 months after the underlying transaction is concluded. I considered the post-acquisition integration issue when reading an article in the MIT Sloan Management Review Winter 2013 issue, entitled "Building Your Company's Capabilities Through Global Expansion", by authors Donald Lessard, Rafael Lucea and Luis Vives. The thesis of the article was that for companies to create and sustain global competitive advantages, they need to adopt a systematic approach to exploiting, renewing and enhancing their core capabilities.
While the focus of the article was on marketing and sales, as I read the article I came to believe that it has implications beyond marketing into the post-acquisition integration required by the DOJ under the FCPA. I believe that the framework which the authors have developed can be a way for companies to think through both FCPA post-acquisition integration but also which compliance enhancements need to be introduced in foreign operations. This second point is significant because one issue that seems to bedevil compliance practitioners is how to integrate and enhance your compliance program across the globe. There are both language and cultural differences which make a 'one-size-fits-all' approach sometimes problematic. The article also provides some valuable insight into how a company might make its US centric FCPA compliance program a value add for its foreign operations.
The authors provide a framework under which they believe a company can evaluate the potential for enhancing its current sources into capabilities for development in foreign markets and work for post-acquisition integration. So using the authors' framework, I will adapt it into the compliance space.
The initial goal should be that any compliance program augmentation, whether for an acquired company or a foreign operation, should result in "an overall enhancement of the company's capabilities" and global position. This means that while it may initially appear that the compliance group of a company is the Land of No; such should not the case for the compliance enhancement or integration to succeed. The authors believe that a company should build on its existing capabilities to show that the new processes or policies will create greater value. The example I give in training is expense reports. I ask whether anyone does not have to fill out an expense report to be reimbursed. The answer is always the same; everyone has to fill out an expense report. I then go on to explain that the FCPA will require you to list who you took to dinner or provided a gift to, what their title is and how much you spent. In other words, the obligation of an individual employee to provide the basic information to be used by others is not much in addition to the information they are currently providing.
My colleague Jay Rosen of Merrill Brink often says that translation services are only part of the equation when his company translates a compliance program or policy. It is important to understand not only the cultural context but have cultural sensitivity to issues. The classic examples are mooncakes or the tradition of giving small gifts when meeting a person for the first time in the Far East. It is viewed as a ritual which has deeper and and greater meaning more than simply a handshake. While many companies worried about this issue or even prohibited the giving of such small gifts, the FCPA Guidance has made clear that the DOJ/SEC are not looking for violations relating to such small gifts unless they are a part of an overall systemic failure of your compliance program.
In the business world it is not always words v. deeds. Another way to look at it might be consider entrepreneurial people v. process people. Entrepreneurial people tend to make things happen in an organization. They can wear many hats at once. Process people tend to have a deeper focus in a particular area. You need a balance of both in an organization.
The authors have provided a framework for you to consider in your post-acquisition compliance program integration. Further, it provides a context for you to enhance your compliance program in foreign operations. Much like Antisthenes views on Odysseus, you can translate the words of compliance into the doing of compliance

The UK's Chartered Institute of Public Relations (@cipr_uk) Social Media Advisory Panel (#ciprsm) has this week announced its objectives for 2013.
During the forthcoming year the panel will focus its effort on updates to its Best Practice and Wikipedia Guidelines, a specification for the skills for the future PR practitioner and guidance on social media and the law. It will also be working on Share This Too (@sharethistoo), a follow-up to Share This – the bestselling book it produced last year.
Set up in April 2010, the panel – which I've had the pleasure of being a member of since it was founded three years ago, brought together some of the communications industry's leading digital and social media thinkers. The aim was to establish best practice and share knowledge with public relations and communications professionals by brining together experts in social who work in a range of disciplines ranging from public and government affairs, to consumer, international and brand development.
Let's remember that while people today use these channels as a matter of fact, companies, brands and decision-makers are still cautious and suspicious of engaging in online conversations with their publics. It is this misunderstanding that we are committed to challenging.
In 2012, the panel developed industry-leading guidance and events including:
- Social Media Guidance (PDF) – a best practice guide to social media for public relations, downloaded more than 4,500 times in 2012.
- Social Media Measurement Guidance (PDF) – a practical guide to measurement resulting from the panel's relationship with AMEC, downloaded more than 1,500 times in 2012.
- Social Summer – a series of evening events around the country on various aspects of social media, attended by more than 500 people in 2012.
Today perception and reputation is shaped by people – by how they are connected and how they share their thoughts and opinions.
Brands can no longer rely on 'push communications'. Social is very public, and is transforming how public and private sectors organisations communicate and engage with consumers and stakeholders.
You can follow members of the panel through this #ciprsm twitter list I have set-up.
This is an exciting time to be in public relations.
