GR-D: V-Guitar Distortion
GK Power in a Twin Pedal Stompbox
With the all-new V-Guitar pedals, guitarists can now enjoy the immense benefits of Roland's GK processing—the powerful technology behind the GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer and VG-99 V-Guitar System—right on their pedalboards. The GR-D V-Guitar Distortion offers unique distortion and synth tones produced by independently processing each guitar string, giving the modern player an array of fresh, bold sounds for their sonic arsenal. Housed in the popular Twin Pedal format and equipped with connections for easy integration with amps, stomps, multi-effects, and other V-Guitar devices, the GR-D delivers wide, heavy, high-clarity tones that can only be achieved with GK processing.
- Roland's powerful V-Guitar technology in a Twin Pedal stompbox
- Bold, high-clarity distortion and synth tones only possible with GK processing
- VG-DIST 1, VG-DIST 2, POLY DIST, and SYNTH sounds, with real-time DSP for latency-free performance
- Sculpt your tones with ultra-responsive GAIN, COLOR, and TONE knobs
- Solo function provides an instant volume and presence boost for lead playing
- 13-pin GK input; designed for use with the GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster, GK-3 Divided Pickup, and all GK-equipped guitars
- Flexible connections for easy integration with amps, pedals, and multi-effects
- Four user memories, with remote selection from GK-equipped guitar
Welcome to the Family
The GR-D V-Guitar Distortion joins Roland's acclaimed V-Guitar family, which also includes the GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer and VG-99 V-Guitar System. The convenient stompbox format of the GR-D allows players with traditional setups to experience the incredible sound potential available with GK processing. When used with an optional US-20 Unit Selector, the GR-D also gives current GR and VG users new sounds for their existing rig.
Unlock All-New Sounds with GK Processing
The GR-D features a 13-pin input for use with a guitar outfitted with a Roland GK-3 Divided Pickup or a GK-equipped instrument such as the GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster. Unlike standard monophonic guitar pickups, the Roland GK pickup senses and isolates each individual string, sending them as six discrete signals to a 13-pin jack. When connected to a V-Guitar device like the GR-D pedal, each string can be processed individually, opening up a universe of sound possibilities that are impossible with a normal 1/4-inch guitar output.
Bold Distortion Tones for Modern Players
Inside the GR-D is a huge array of unique distortion colors made possible with GK processing. By applying separate distortion processing to each string, the atonal harmonic artifacts of mono distortion are completely eliminated. This results in incredible string definition and clarity, even with full, complex chords and extremely high levels of gain. In addition, picking dynamics are greatly enhanced, and wide stereo effects can be achieved. VG-DIST 1 and VG-DIST 2 offer two very different distortion flavors newly developed for the GR-D, while POLY DIST is a new variant on the classic "polyphonic distortion" in early Roland guitar synths, enhanced with the power of modern digital technology. SYNTH is an analog synth-type sound based on string vibration instead of an oscillator, providing an ultra-responsive playing feel with true guitar expressiveness.
Tweak and Store Your Custom Sounds
Like a normal stompbox, the GR-D features simple controls that are quick and intuitive to use, but behind their simplicity is an enormous range of sound-shaping potential. When you turn the GAIN, COLOR, and TONE knobs, you're actually tweaking multiple under-the-hood parameters specifically tailored to each sound type, letting you achieve substantial tonal shifts even with small changes. Four memory locations let you store your favorite sounds, with quick recall via the control switches on your GK-equipped guitar. A Solo function, accessible with one of the pedal's two footswitches, gives you an instant boost of volume and presence for lead playing.
Easy Integration with Any Rig
The GR-D offers a multitude of connections for integrating with different rigs, including pedalboards, multi-effects setups, racks, mixers, and other V-Guitar devices. A dual MIX/GUITAR INPUT allows you to connect devices and blend them with the GR-D sound, with the combined mix sent to the pedal's mono/stereo output. The 13-pin GK output carries the guitar's normal pickup signal as well, and controls on the GK-equipped guitar allow you to blend the GK and normal sounds right from your instrument. A dedicated GUITAR OUTPUT jack on the GR-D lets you connect the normal guitar sound directly to an amp or effects with no GK processing applied. It can also be used in conjunction with the MIX/GUITAR INPUT to create a send/return loop for your normal effects chain.
GK-Ready Guitars and Options
With its built-in GK pickup and 13-pin output, Roland's popular GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster is a perfect fit for the GR-D, and there are GK-equipped guitars available from many other manufacturers as well. Roland also offers the GK-3 Divided Pickup, allowing you to easily add GK compatibility to your favorite guitar with no modification.
Roland (press release)
Los Angeles, CA, November 1, 2012 — Roland is pleased to announce the GR-D V-Guitar Distortion and GR-S V-Guitar Space pedals, two revolutionary new stompboxes designed for use with the GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster and other GK-compatible guitars with a 13-pin output. Housed in the popular Twin Pedal format and equipped with connections for integrating with standard pedals, amps, multi-effects, and other GK devices, the V-Guitar pedals deliver a wide range of unique sounds that can only be achieved with Roland's GK processing.
The GR-D V-Guitar Distortion and GR-S V-Guitar Space bring the immense power of GK technology to the familiar guitar stompbox. In combination with a guitar outfitted with a Roland GK pickup, the V-Guitar pedals allow players with traditional setups to enjoy some of the incredible sound potential found in cutting-edge Roland GK products like the GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer and VG-99 V-Guitar System. The pedals also give current GK users all-new additional sounds for their existing rig.
Unlike standard monophonic guitar pickups, the Roland GK pickup senses and isolates each individual string on the instrument, sending them as six discrete signals to a 13-pin jack. When connected to a GK device like a V-Guitar pedal, each string can be processed individually, opening up a universe of sound possibilities that are impossible with a normal 1/4-inch guitar output.
The GR-D V-Guitar Distortion features four bold distortion sounds that are only achieved with GK processing. Included are two new VG Distortion tones, plus Poly Distortion and Synth sounds derived from the VG and GR series. GAIN, COLOR, TONE, LEVEL knobs allow the user to shape the sound, with four memory locations provided for storing custom settings for quick recall from the GK-compatible guitar while performing. A Solo function, accessible with one of the pedal's two footswitches, boosts the presence of the sound for lead playing.
The rear panels of the V-Guitar pedals are loaded with connectivity options for integrating with a wide variety of setups. There's a 13-pin input for connecting a GK-compatible guitar, and mono/stereo output jacks for connecting to pedals, multi-effects, amps, mixing consoles, and more. A G. AMP/LINE switch sets the signal level and output tone to match the connected device.
Dual MIX/GUITAR inputs allow players to connect a standard 1/4-inch guitar output, pedals, or multi-effects and blend them with the GK sound. All sounds are mixed internally and passed to the mono/stereo output.
The 13-pin GK output carries the guitar's normal pickup signal as well, and it's sent unprocessed to the V-Guitar pedal's mono/stereo output. Controls on the GK-compatible guitar allow the player to blend the GK and normal sounds right from their instrument. A dedicated GUITAR OUTPUT jack lets users connect the V-Guitar pedal directly to an effect or amp with no GK processing applied.
Roland's popular GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster is a perfect fit for the V-Guitar pedals, and there are GK-compatible guitars available from many other manufacturers as well. Roland also offers the GK-3 Divided Pickup, allowing players to easily add GK compatibility to their favorite guitar with no modification.

Hey Guys,
Quick question for those of you who have a wireless network and also users who like to bring in laptops/iPhones ect.
How do you police it to check weather or not they are abusing the connection eg/ downloading at work?
For me, I have a sonicwall which has built in bandwidth monitor and if any wireless device uses anything in excess of the normal, I block them from the wireless network by MAC and they will call me and say hey...the wireless isn't working so I know it is them who I have blocked.
Do you flat out not allow it? or only allow it for the Managers?

Ive got a separate wireless network for personal devices. Ive got it set so that they can only get a guest login which expires every hour. Its doing a pretty good job of slowing down usage.
Im planning on enabling the filtering and blocking features on my firewall this year, if I can get the money approved. Ill then stop all gaming and downloading from the guest ip range.
My internet feed is decent, but if the day comes when its starts to come under heavy loads after the above has been put in place. Ill plug the guest wireless directly into one of the firewall ports and cripple its bandwidth.
Jan 24, 2012 at 4:41 UTC
were not too strict on it here we have a good internet connection and speeds and a very happy isp (rural broadband provider that makes a lot of money out of us)
we have 4 0r 5 hotspots that are run through them as well so we are used to the downloading part
Jan 24, 2012 at 5:28 UTC
That type of stuff is why you have a guest network isolated off your production network.
Allowing personal devices at work is a bad thing. For many reasons.
Jan 24, 2012 at 5:30 UTC
We have a guest wireless connection available.
It is usually turned off.
Users do not have access to it.
If I gave them access they would spend half the day fiddling with the toys they have connected to it.
Jan 24, 2012 at 5:30 UTC
There are only a handful of devices on our wireless network (5-10 devices, the other 40 odd are all on LAN) so its a bit of a non-issue but... Our usage got pretty high the one month so we used our firewall's (Untangle Premium) web filter feature to block certain sites and the various rack options to group the internet users. Untangle achieves this through syncing with the active directory and from there you can provide varying levels of access to different users. Directors have unfiltered access (since they're paying for it after all) but everyone else is filtered in some way depending on their needs. If sonicwall offers these features (and I'm pleading my ignorance because I really don't know, I assume it can though) then perhaps look at grouping users and filtering their access that way.
An argument could be made that if its not work related it's not necessary to have access to a particular site, but that will be user specific. I then check Untangle's logs periodically to see if anyone is downloading excessively but so far the new system is working well (from 125GB usage in one month to 35GB the next and only a few configuration hiccups). It does seem your problem is policy based as well as firewall configuration based. Maybe chat to a technician from sonicwall and see what your options are in terms of automated monitoring and web filtering then the powers that be to implement some policy changes if necessary.
Jan 24, 2012 at 5:41 UTC
We have an internal WLAN with WPA2-Radius where only the Machines in Policy can connect and an external WLAN just for Internet even on another Internetconnection.
Jan 24, 2012 at 8:05 UTC
We just set one up for clients and guests who come in, and we also have one for us "internal" customers as well (separate VLANS and access to the Interwebz). We have set up a bandwidth usage limit to like 512K per connection to the internet. Since most people have much faster than that at home it seems to limit the abuse. We do get complaints from employees, but we just tell them that the wireless is for work and not for them to spend all day downloading stuff / watching videos / facebooking. We also have tracking hardware / software in place so that if we get excessive complaints we can tell HR and they deal with it.

Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
I separate the person from the work. I created a kind of guest network that would allow them to use their personal devices, but in my router I configured a bandwidth limitation. I gave them enough that browsing wouldn't bee that slow, but if they tried to download anything on it, it would take them forever.
Jan 24, 2012 at 9:31 UTC
Hi Gavan-
Yours is not a unique situation, and it requires you to review how much flexibility you want to give and balance that with control needed.
Take a look at this web page: http://www.trendmicro.com/us/enterprise/challenges/it-consumerization/index.html. It has an overview and some tools and materials that can help you determine what that balance is.
Good luck!
Jan 24, 2012 at 6:09 UTC
I am lucky perhaps that our Internet modem(router) from our cable ISP has 4 ports on it. So I have a spare static IP and router just for a guest wireless network that only is only on during business hours and I check on the logs from time to time. I have never allowed personal devices on my network if I can help it. I have all the unused jacks unplugged.
Jan 25, 2012 at 6:08 UTC
They are allowed as guests.
Everything that requires access to the "files" are via wire.
As for bandwith it should not be a problem, we just got a 100/100Mb connection for half the price we used to pay for 25/25
Jan 25, 2012 at 8:37 UTC
This keeps coming up.
The answer is still "no".
We have a separate Wireless LAN - for vendors.
We have school district provided computers - for staff and students and a wireless LAN for them.
Jan 25, 2012 at 9:03 UTC
The Barracuda web filter is what we use and this allows us to force users to authenticate (Active Directory) before they can view anything. Unauthenticated users can connect to the wireless network but they can't get through to any sites until they enter their user name and password.
This gives you the ability to allow users to use the personal devices (BYOD) without the hassle of trying to police the devices.
Jan 25, 2012 at 12:17 UTC
Get a cheap DSL line, plug a wireless router into it, set a password, give the network name and password to the reception desk, let people do what they want with their wifi toys, forget about it.
$50/mo (give or take, local prices vary) for a separate ISP line gets them free wifi, you no worries about wireless networking security for the business, since it's a whole separate circuit. Win-Win.
Jan 25, 2012 at 2:11 UTC
That's what the DMZ is for. Make it completely separate.
Jan 26, 2012 at 1:05 UTC
Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
We hate people asking us to connect iPhones (and other phones, iPods, etc) to corporate networks. I mean... really?
DMZ is OK, but not the corproate network.
As for those that think they don't need a DMZ for this and other reasons, again I say REALLY? Do you understand the risk?
Jan 26, 2012 at 10:04 UTC
1st Post
I just got settled in here. The dealerships have a mix of different wireless solutions in each building. Hopefully I can get them converged to one solution across the company. Three of the buildings have enterprise class wireless APs that are setup with MAC filtering, WEP keys (*strongest encryption supported), and the DHCP server for those AP's is setup to give a certain scope of addresses to anything unknown that connects to them. Once connected, those IPs are setup in the firewall to have all traffic forwarded to pseudo gateway.
Our customer wireless AP's are limited in the VLAN to transmit at a max of 128k to limit their ability to become a drain on our cable internet connection.

1997 Hyundai Elantra Questions
Get answers to questions about your 1997 Hyundai Elantra at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
I have had no problem with this in the past 4 years I've owned it. The check engine light however, is problematic. But not at this time....
I canged the brake light bulb an now evertime i put my foot on the brake my dash and headlights come on and whn i take my foot off the lights go off.
I changed the bulb for brakes and now everytime i hit the brakes both the dashboard and headlight go on whn i take my foot off the brakes thy go off .
coil pack,spark plugs,TPS all new.At times misses at high speeds but dosen't stall.
the motor shuts down went it is hot but when the motor is cold it will run good
I was replacing the fuses in my car trying to get my lights to work again. My horn doesn't work anymore and my gear shift won't move out of park even when I'm pushing the brakes. I'm trying to determine if my brakes are working at the moment. If anyone knows which fuses I may have messed with that would cause this problem please let me know. Thank you.
i just replaced the engine in my 1997 hyundai elantra 5 speed. after hooking everything back up, the car will now turn over but wont fire. and there is no spark for any plug wire. could it be the coil pack?
about every one hundred miles I get a misfire code P0301 or P0302 and sometimes I get both at once. Replacing injectors is getting costly.
Is it difficult to change the Heater blower resistor I brought to the shop but im afraid they will charge to much but i do not have a voltage meter. Do you have to rip out the entire dash or anything? I find the part new for 54 bucks so i would hate to pay over 200
The problem is my car failed inspection due to the defroster not working the heat and AC work but when i turn the heat up to 4 it cuts off compleatly 1 2 and 3 work fine but the 4 defrost makes no noise and does not work and how much should the problem cost me?
The car wants to stall sometimes.When motor is cold and when fuel is less than a 1/4 of tank.Can there be water in the tank.
Will A catalytic converter cause a car to overheat or engine failure at all? I'm looking at buying a car in a town about 200 miles from me, I'll replace the tires and have a tune up in the town where I am buying it, but the town is substantially smaller then my own and will charge A LOT more to do the work and for parts then my own city will, Is it safe to drive with a failing converter?

2011's with the value package can have leather and manual seats. Mine is like this. No ZPP. Also, in other years couldn't you get leather as a stand alone option and no power seats? I don't remember. You could do this on the 2012 F30 but power seats are std for 2013.
To the OP, the manual seats are pretty good. You miss out on the fine adjustment and the memory and it's also harder to change the seat height. For the rice difference I think you could live with the manual seats especially if you are the main driver.

It's a common adjective in the Lower 9th Ward to describe Tuesday's statewide voter rejection of a constitutional amendment that would have allowed the city to sell vacant lots in that struggling neighborhood to aspiring homeowners for as little as $100.
But disappointment has come often and in many sizes to the Lower 9, one of the neighborhoods most thoroughly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, and the residents and activists who have taken up the cause of repopulating the area are perhaps more capable than anyone of putting a setback at the ballot box behind them.
"For nine years, there have been many, many challenges — challenges far greater than (the failure of) this amendment," said activist Vanessa Gueringer, who along with state Rep. Wesley Bishop came up with the idea they thought might jump-start residential development in the neighborhood. "We had to struggle to even come home. It's not bigger than that."
Thom Pepper, of the nonprofit group Common Ground Relief, put it a little more colorfully.
"No one is crying in their bourbon over it," he said. The idea of $100 lots was "like one of the things to throw it on the wall and see if it sticks. It didn't, but we'll go on."
The amendment, which was needed to override the constitutional prohibition against the government donating or selling public property at less than fair market value, needed a majority both in New Orleans and statewide. It was overwhelmingly supported by Lower 9 voters, but it lost 51 to 49 percent in Orleans Parish and failed badly statewide, 59 to 41 percent.
Had it been approved, a state law passed earlier this year would have taken effect. That law would have directed the city to sell vacant lots in the neighborhood for $100 each to, in order of priority: adjacent property owners; people who have leased property in the Lower 9th Ward for at least 18 months; former residents; veterans, teachers, retired teachers and emergency responders; and anyone who agreed to build on the property and live there for at least five years.
Developers, corporate entities and anyone with an active code enforcement violation or outstanding tax lien would have been barred from buying the lots, which the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority acquired through the Road Home program.
City Councilman James Gray, whose district includes the Lower 9, said that with no money to explain the potential impact of the amendment to voters statewide, he's not shocked that many defaulted to a no vote.
"I thought it would be a useful tool that would have helped us in the Lower 9, but I can't say I'm surprised," he said. "I knew it would be a tough sell."
Questions about effects
It's not even clear how much the amendment would have helped had it passed. The head of NORA said the city, which owns about 600 vacant properties in the Lower 9th Ward, doesn't like the idea of putting them on the market at fire-sale prices due to fears that move would reduce the value of other nearby properties. There also were concerns that the properties would end up in the hands of speculators who would sit on them, doing nothing.
Still, the idea behind the law and the failed amendment was to create another way to get property into the hands of the kinds of people the Lower 9th Ward wants to see move there: regular folks who, while not flush with cash, nevertheless want to build a home and raise a family.
Pepper said he thought voters might have been a little confused by the amendment's wording and that it should have been more straightforward.
The tiered system of priority buyers, he said, "is all well and good, but it should have been that everyone who wants to build a house and raise a family should be able to bid on those lots."
Laura Paul, who heads the nonprofit group LowerNine.org, which provides labor to build homes in the neighborhood for people who own property and have architectural plans, said she applauded the intention of the plan but worried it wouldn't do enough to keep speculators away.
She also thinks former neighborhood residents, who she said contact her organization all the time, should have the first right of return.
"I think $100 lots should be sold to the people who lived there before," she said.
Gueringer, a lifelong resident of the Lower 9, said she has a little trouble swallowing the claim that selling properties on the cheap would lower property values when many of the lots owned by the city often aren't well maintained, which drives down everyone's property values.
She said she will continue to work on other avenues, like trying to get the city's discontinued Lot Next Door program reinstated in the 9th Ward and advocating for a "mow-to-own" program.
"It was a tool," Gray said. "But it wasn't going to save us. We needed to do other things even if it did pass."
Seeking a tipping point
While the Redevelopment Authority did not return a call for comment, Gray said he has gotten a commitment from the city in the past two weeks to focus on putting properties in the part of the Lower 9th Ward bounded by Florida Avenue, North Galvez Street, Forstall Street and Caffin Avenue into the hands of people who want to build houses.
Gray said about a third of the lots in that area either are in the hands of the city already or are tax-adjudicated or in violation of city code provisions, which would allow the city to expropriate them in some cases.
Getting work started on those lots, he said, could reach a tipping point that could create movement on the other lots in the target area.
"If we can assemble that block of land and put some houses on it, and we think we have an opportunity to do that, we can create a decent community around that school and hope it will give that area what it needs to get some people back," Gray said.
The catalyst, he said, is the $38 million Martin Luther King Jr. High School set to open next year on the south side of Law Street.
"We think the school will be a big, big piece of creating that environment," he said.
Gray said other pieces are falling into place as well for the Lower 9th Ward, including the almost completed $19 million Andrew P. Sanchez Community Center and the newly opened $4.3 million fire station on North Claiborne Avenue.
The CVS drugstore chain recently completed a deal to buy land on Claiborne between Tennessee and Reynes streets for a new pharmacy.
The Lower 9th Ward also is expected to receive more than $40 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds for road repairs.
Gray said the NFL Players Association, which built three houses after the Super Bowl two years ago, has said it will honor its commitment to build 40 houses in the Lower 9 if the demand is there.
"I would say to people, 'I think there's going to be a boom in the Lower 9,' and a lot of people are going to say, 'I wish I had invested in it when the price was cheap.' I think, if you give us a year and a half or two years, you'll see some improvement," Gray said.
Process will be slow
Pepper said his group, which builds homes and does other projects throughout the Lower 9th Ward, learned years ago that repopulating the neighborhood was going to be slow, organic and largely driven by federally funded projects.
As long as those projects are well-conceived and well-executed, he said, the area has the low land costs, access to the river and tight-knit community that helped attract the postwar generation that originally populated it.
While there are absentee landlords, many lots are owned by people who came back to the city but had to live elsewhere.
"Eventually, a family member will come back and build on one of those lots," Pepper said.
Paul takes the failure of the amendment with a grain of salt, since she wasn't sure it wouldn't have produced unintended consequences anyway.
"There are a lot of dangers in not doing it right," she said.
Until a better opportunity comes along, LowerNine.org will continue to help bring back those who want to return, she said. The group is putting the finishing touches on its 75th house — the first one that was a new build, not a restoration.
"All we can do," she said, "is do what we're doing."

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Larry the Cable Guy and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln finally "got-r-done."
An agreement has been reached for Nebraska-born Dan Whitney, aka Larry the Cable Guy, to put on a July 4 performance at Memorial Stadium.
Athletic director Tom Osborne said Monday the $4 ticket cost, plus $2 handling charge, will allow Whitney and the university to break even.
Whitney had announced the show on a syndicated radio program March 9. The next day Osborne said the university had not given approval for Memorial Stadium to be used.
Whitney is a longtime Husker supporter who owns a skybox at the stadium. Football season-ticket holders have first dibs on the 50,000 tickets.
The show will be taped for a Comedy Central special.

The native of Columbia, Mo., ran a 4.63 in the 40-yard dash, benched 225 22 times and leaped 33.75 in the vertical.
"As far as times and numbers I felt like I definitely exceeded expectations," White said. "I hope I turned some heads out there."
White has spent the last two months with renowned trainer Ryan Goldin honing his skills in each combine-style event.
"I felt great about today," White said. "I really feel like Goldin did an adequate job working me out. My body has never felt this good. I got more flexible and stronger, I gained all good weight and changed my diet."
Charles is considered a top three prospect at tight end, which cast White under the radar in terms of performing in front of numerous scouts and executives at the event.
He made the most of his opportunity, posting a 9'8" broad jump and finishing the shuttle in 4.1 seconds. Goldin described White's work in position drills catching passes as "perfect."
"Hopefully I garnered enough attention that I'm a guy who has his name called at the draft," White said. "I feel like I surprised some teams and hopefully somebody saw me. If somebody will take a chance, if that's the way to say it, I think it will be worth it."
White intends to continue training with Goldin in the coming months, saying his training will shift from "Pro Day work to more football skills. I've got a lot of work to do and more good weight to gain."

Nope. The most likable people get promoted. Your mother was right: Good social skills are crucial to your career. Across the board, people would rather work with someone who is likable and incompetent than with someone who is skilled and obnoxious. As Tiziana Casciaro of Harvard Business School says, "How we value competence changes depending on whether we like someone or not." Besides, people lacking social grace are perceived to lack other life and work competencies as well. If you are currently invested in this myth, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman (Bantam, 2005) is a good guide. It will tell you what you need to know to build and accurately assess relationships. Our advice is to open yourself up to possibilities and explore the greatest potential of your unique personality, learning what you need to do to become more likable.
Sorry, no. Everyone might think about having sex with someone in the office, but many people allow their forward brains to take precedence in the office setting. However, many of us can chalk up an office romance or two. And why not? The workplace offers opportunity (men and women together), motive (anti-boredom), and geographic convenience (most employees live within a reasonable distance of the office). In fact, 41 per cent of employed Americans aged 25 to 40 have admitted to having engaged in an office romance, according to a joint survey sponsored by Glamour magazine and www.Lawyers.com. Here's the kicker: Employers had the most problems with office dalliances when the romance involved a manager dating a reporting staff person. And remember, the spectre of sexual harassment is always present – especially once the affair is over. Most important, keep sexting out of the work environment. It is universally banned, for good reason.
8. Office politics is about backstabbing.
Wrong again. Sure, some long knives will be out wherever you go, but office politics can also be about helping people get what they want. Figuring out what co-workers care about, and how to help them get it, obviates the need to strong-arm, disparage, or manipulate them. We don't mean to say that you can bare your soul to colleagues and expect your confidences to be kept any more than you would expect that in a random group of acquaintances. Jealousy will still rear its ugly head. Use your judgment. Become politically savvy!
Share the Idiot's Guide to Office Politics or your personal battle stories with young employees. Millennials may need a crash course. Make this part of a mentoring or orientation process so they get off on the right foot.
7. Do good work and you'll do fine.
Nope. As writer Sam Ewing says, "It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours." And no one will know what you're doing in your cube unless you tell them. Let people know what you're working on and tell them – especially your manager and manager's manager – about its success. No one else will do it for you. Recognize that self-promotion is an art form; be careful that you don't oversell. Don't take credit for someone else's good work. Give your colleagues the credit they deserve and you will stand out.
6. A great résumé will get you hired.
Not true. Only 10 per cent of jobs come from sending unsolicited résumés. Most jobs come from people leveraging their networks. When you make a connection with a prospective employer, your résumé will simply be glanced at to make sure you have the required skills and to check for obvious problems. Expand your network instead of obsessing over which descriptive adjective best describes your PowerPoint skills. And never lie or experiment with the truth on your résumé. You will be found out and fired. And don't forget that employers today are checking Facebook pages faster than other references. Make sure yours doesn't show a side of you that makes you an undesirable hire.
5. It's better to emulate Donald Trump than to be yourself.Report Typo/Error

Well there isn't....
My definition of Christianity. The religion that internet message board posters seem to be obsessed with because every other topic the post now is about it.

the alternative sucks worse
You mean the most popular religion in our country is also the most popular religious topic? Why, thats impossible!
well we could talk about how hell is a place of all remembrance. Which means you will continually remember everytime you arrogantly denied your creator.
this is a horrible way to get people to agree with what jesus has to say, which is your mission as a christian
Religion seems to be an obsession with those who claim that they don't practice any religion.

really let's talk about what a "Christian" is supposed to be...and then let's talk about the apostles(and even Jesus himself from time to time) and there tactics cause I guarantee you your in for a rude awakening. Truth is truth from the word of God. Did I say you were going there? Truth is the origin of the word Christian is massively disrespectful so enlighten me with some religious generalizations. Jesus himself said most people are going to hell so are you mad at him?
