Are you a "me too" agent in your market?
Are you special or unique in some way from every other agent?
Choosing the Road Less Traveled
OK, so you think your special.
As Shania Twain would sing, that don't impress me much!
We all like to think that we're special and unique.
Your desire that your business is special isn't the question we're asking.
We're asking if your prospects and clients see you as unique – and why?
What would they say?
Unique … or me too?
Hopefully you are answering this question honestly, because now you need to go deeper.
Think about a day in your life. How many marketing messages are you exposed to?
- Calls from telemarketers.
- Newspaper and magazine ads.
- Commercials on radio and television.
- Postcards and letters in your mailbox.
- Pop up and banner ads on every web page.
- Billboards and signage as you drive around town.
It never ends. Thousands of messages, each and every day. Fortunately, we have all trained ourselves to either completely ignore or quickly delete most advertisements from our consciousness.
Of course, some of those messages impact us subconsciously. Out of those thousands of messages, we are making hundreds of choices.
- What will we eat?
- Where will we eat?
- What will we read?
- What will we watch?
- What websites will we visit?
- What toothpaste will we use?
Hundreds of choices, each and every day.
Your prospects and clients have choices regarding what insurance they consider – and who they buy it from – as well.
Dozens of insurance companies, each telling us why their products are the are best.
Each offering many product choices, all with different names but essentially the same features and benefits.
Depending on the size of your community, dozens or hundreds of insurance agents, all with one message …
Choose Me!
Each and every agent hopes for that outcome every day … that a consumer will choose them over the many other agents doing the exact same thing, with the exact same message, with indistinguishable products from indistinguishable companies.
Most of the time, those messages are just ignored or deleted. Your message is just one of thousands. Choosing you today is a choice, but putting you off until later is an easier choice. There is another cool video to watch on YouTube instead.
The choice you have is to just keep doing what you have always done, expecting different results (the definition of insanity), or to get off the "me too" train and find a way to distinguish yourself from all others.
Your Unique Value/Selling Proposition
In 1961, legendary advertising executive Rosser Reeves wrote a book titled, Reality in Advertising. Reeves introduced a concept in this book he called the "unique selling proposition" or USP. Reeves defined the USP in three parts:
- Each advertisement must make a proposition to the consumer. "Buy this product and you will get this specific benefit."
- This proposition must be one that the competition cannot or does not offer.
- The proposition must be so strong as to move customers to choose your product or your service or you.
Over the years, the USP has been referred to in a number of ways. We call it your "unique value proposition" or UVP.
It really doesn't matter what you call it. What matters is that you have one.
Think again about the thousands of messages every consumer you come in contact with is exposed to every day. Think about the hundreds of choices they must make every day.
Think about the dozens of agents like you with products and services like yours they are exposed to, with most saying the same thing, "blah! blah! blah!"
The consumer isn't motivated to discover your USP or unique value proposition. They are looking for it in your message. In fact, they are looking to ignore it or delete it.
They have important things to do, such as keep up on current events with the Kardashians on Facebook.
So, it's all on you to:
- Make a proposition that conveys a specific benefit
- Be different than your competition
- Inspire consumers to choose you
Walking the Talk
Teaching and preaching about the importance of discovering your USP/UVP is easy. So is walking the talk and introducing you to our USP/UVP at USA-LTC.
Let's talk about what it means to be your trusted agency partner.
- We know you need access to all available products. You can count on us to not only deliver a full range of long-term care solutions, but also help you decide the right product for each of your unique client's needs.
- We know nothing happens until somebody sells something and nothing is sold until you get in front of a qualified prospect. Like you, we don't like it when nothing happens, so we have a full range of marketing and sales training and support programs available to all of our agent partners.
- Last but not least, we are obsessive (excessive, often to an unreasonable degree) in delivering white glove service to every one of our agent partners, every time. Admittedly, it is easy to claim we provide great service. You'll only know for sure after you experience our obsession. We're confident enough to claim once you do, you'll never need to look for another agency partner.
We look forward to learning about your uniqueness, or helping you discover and communicate it to your prospects and clients.

Nobody really seems to tell the truth on the mass media networks freshly hired pretty Barbies present propaganda facts and interview the same bunch of Goldilock lobbyists. Every Monday now instead of Merger-Monday's we have some economists who never saw the crisis coming but seem to know where it ends - lol -pundits like Greenspan who is an MVP player for the mess.
Negative news are celebrated as positive ones if they are a bit less ugly but the basic picture remains the emperor is still naked - it is easier to digest them when you know there its coming from and you saw it coming. As I stated before March that this upturn would occur and said it would end around August and a SPX level of 1000 it is still amazing to see the scenario unfold.
More interestingly though is one can see clearly who the center players of this charade (to say the least) are from banks to politicians the limelight is on them now from Goldman, JP Morgan to Barney Frank,Geithner, Bernanke to the highest ranks in the White House.
As tomorrow is President Obama's birthday it will be eclipsed by a Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse) the last one of a series of eclipses in Leo/Aquarius. Interesting is though that it activates one of the prominent qualities he has the SUN / Neptun square which I already wrote about in former posts. This is a rock star quality with a negative bias if not used with highest diligence. He can evidently lure people but usually this are the qualities of a snake oil salesman and the eclipse will highlight this quality and make him give a lot of promises which will not hold up in retrospective.
The United States, Europe and Japan still face the possibility of a double-dip recession and at the very least will experience below-potential economic growth for the next couple of years, economist Nouriel Roubini told CNBC Monday.
The double-dip is still possible because of very large budget deficits that are being monetized by monetary-policy authorities, Roubini, co-founder and chairman of RGE Monitor, said, speaking at the Diggers and Dealers mining conference in Kalgoorlie, Australia.
If central banks continue to monetize the deficits, "long-term bond yields may go higher, and they may crowd out the economic recovery leading to a double dip," he said.
For the U.S., Roubini reiterated his position that the recovery would only start at the end of this year, with 1 percent growth in 2010 and 2011, as opposed to 3 percent potential.
With weakness in the labor market and housing market and consumers and production still not recovered, "I'm very cautious about the United States," he said.
Commodities Could Fall
There is a risk that commodities prices could retreat from their recent run-up, Roubini said.
China may not be able to keep up the demand of commodities it fueled in the first half of the years, while much also depends on how much advanced economies can rebound he said.

Damage: Bite 1d10+4, claw 1d6+2, slice charge 1d8+6 plus wounding

Skills: Hide +13 and Move Silently +5
Advancement: 4-9 HD (medium-sized)
Climate/Terrain: Any
Organization: Solitary or pack (1d8)
Treasure/Possessions: None
Immunity to Energy Drain (Ex): Due to their physical makeup, energy drains of any type (level drain, temporary or permanent ability damage, etc.) cannot effect void hounds.
Slice Charge (Ex): A seeker can use its razor-sharp spine as a weapon; to do so, it must charge. The seeker throws its whole body into attack and gains 1-1/2 times its Strength bonus on damage, just as if using a sole natural weapon.
Wounding (Ex): A hit from the seeker's slice charge deals 1 point of Constitution damage from blood loss when it hits a creature. A critical hit does not multiply the Constitution damage. Creatures immune to critical hits (such as plants and constructs) are immune to the Constitution damage dealt by the slice charge.
Skills: A void hound has a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks.
As beings of the Void, the hounds share many of the same special traits as their masters.
Extraplanar Subtype
A subtype applied to any creature when it is on a plane other than its native plane. A creature that travels the planes can gain or lose this subtype as it goes from plane to plane. This book assumes that encounters with creatures take place on the Material Plane, and every creature whose native plane is not the Material Plane has the extraplanar subtype (but would not have when on its home plane). An extraplanar creatures usually has a home plane mentioned in its description. These home planes are taken from the Great Wheel cosmology of the D&D game (see Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). If your campaign uses a different cosmology, you will need to assign different home planes to extraplanar creatures.
Creatures not labeled as extraplanar are natives of the Material Plane, and they gain the extraplanar subtype if they leave the Material Plane. No creature has the extraplanar subtype when it is on a transitive plane; the transitive planes in the D&D cosmology are the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, and the Plane of Shadow.

I always miss TV Turnoff Week. Probably because it's not well advertised.
I'm in TN this week working. Yes, I'm working. Abstaining from TV by default. In the boxy tunnel I walked through to board my plane (you know, that word I'm thinking of) in LAX, there was a guy behind me on his cell phone whose conversation went something like this:
Actually, I'm getting on a plane for Nashville right now.
Well, (underbreath stealth voice) I'm doing a project for a. . . kind of a Christian band.
Yeah, I know, but they're going to pay me, so. . .
Right, money changes everything.
Yeah, I'll probably have to go through some kind of cleansing ritual when I get home.
This was funny to me, as much as it was a reminder of almost everything that makes me deeply saddened about the church and the arts, since I could have overhheard nearly the same conversation but substituting the word "secular" for "Christian."
Goodbye, internet. Hello, library.

The current top five requests by toddlers in our back seat, for the week ending April 21, 2007:
5) "Radio Man," David Wilcox (down 3 spots from last week)
4) "Shabalala," Ladysmith Black Mambazo
3) "Can't Stop," Ozomatli
2) "We're from Barcelona," I'm from Barcelona
and at number 1:
"La La La," Bert & Ernie
Number 3 holds position with the memorable refrain "shake it, shake it; shake it, shake it" inspiring random bursts of gyration at home. 1,2, and 4 are favorites for the infectious "la la la"s throughout. It's "Radio Man's" lyrical poigniancy that keeps it in the top five, but in trying times such as these, we naturally lean towards simple pop accessibility.
Number 6 with a bullet: The Weepies, "Gotta Have You." With its even beats, easy nouns, and litany of "no's," this song's headed for a number one spot.

I am pleased that headlines are making note of the Catholic Church's gentle dismissal of the concept of limbo. Although, according to some theorists, this really puts the writers of Lost in a bind.
But losing limbo doesn't rule out the possibility of intercommunication with the bizarro world, as it appears a cooperative venture between Bono, Disney's Broadway gem Julie Taymor, and Spider-Man may soon be providing new fodder for conspiracists and end-time predictors.
One of the interesting emphases of the statements in the story about limbo is looking to the way Jesus loved children. Score one for "the word of God should be interpreted by the Word of God."

Kurt Vonnegut has passed. I started reading him as the subject of my 11th grade English thesis, and I liked him even more than Douglas Adams. I ended up keeping on liking him. He sort of laughed, not at our pain, but because we could have so much possibility, and be so unnecessarily, particularly cruel. I found that quite clarifying. So, here's a set of quotes I insincerely gathered from the internets:
"People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God."
"Human beings will be happier — not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie — but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again."
"The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal." – "Harrison Bergeron"

In A Color of His Own, Leo Lionni tells the story of a chameleon's unease over his inability to maintain a coherent identity. His mirrored image is as impermanent as the colors of his context, whether shifting out from underneath or losing their own hue over time. Finally, in the darkness of the tall grass, the chameleon finds a companion. This friend cannot guarantee a color to permanently define him, but can promise to share in every change together. I read this to a class I taught to illustrate the crises and characteristics of life in the late-modern world, where it is not a shared certain foundation that makes for reality, but the identity we form in a community of shared narrative. Sure, there'll have to be some supplementary texts, but I expect my toddler to be fully equipped for his postmodern condition.
Peggy Rathmann's Goodnight Gorilla tells the story of a zoo watchman being followed on his nightly rounds by a gorilla who swiped the watchman's keys. As the watchman makes sure each animal is down for the night, the gorilla opens their cages, and they join a stealthy parade back to the watchman's house, into the watchman's bedroom. When his wife says, "goodnight," she is surprised to hear each animal respond in kind, and to find the gorilla cozied up between her and her husband. His wife turns the light back on, and silently escorts the zoo back to their cages. I have no doubt that this is the story of my spouse, and I am sure many others – spouses, dear friends, family, spiritual companions – who welcome us home even when we've left the door open behind us.
Also, I am fairly sure Dr. Seuss's The Foot Book is a highly nuanced critique of the two-party system.
Left foot, left foot, right foot, right. . . .

I become self conscious sometimes about loving words and sounds and pictures so much. It seems foolish, when so much is at stake.
When I am reading Vonnegut or watching a Charlie Kaufman film, the absurdist sublimity of everything becoming so ridiculous assures me life is more hilariously beautiful than I thought. When I am reading O'Connor or watching a P.T. Anderson film, everything glows so tenderly flawed, so scarred and so loved by their creators that the grace of those words and scenes embraces me. I am going to shout. My eyes and ears and mouth are going to shout. But I am completely paralyzed by whatever might come next – by anticipation, by expectation, by readiness to celebrate whatever is going to happen. I cannot move, because this is not my scene or page or sound to make – I have to wait and see what is next.

Annoying Expensive Day Continued
Forgot, our tenant's want a new refrigerator. They mentioned buying one themselves which they shouldn't have to do. I guess the seal isn't keeping it shut. I'm going to check out ways to fix this first. Then research refrigerators. If we can't fix it, I will offer to purchase one. But since it is for a rental unit, it won't be a fancy one. I'll also give them the option of purchasing their own if they want a fancy expensive refrigerator and they can just take it with them whenever they move.
1 comment:
How about meeting halfway with the fridge? Offer them a "stipend" based on the fridge you would've gotten yourself, and if they want to get something fancier, they have to pay for anything above it, but you still own the fridge. Fixing the seal shouldn't be a huge deal, as you just need to purchase the edge rubber, but if the fridge is old, it may be worthwhile to just replace it entirely.ReplyDelete

About This Class
It is becoming clear just how powerful social media can be for growing your business and your brand. And yet, many entrepreneurs are finding that social media can be a bit of a mystery and quite a chore to manage. This course is all about helping you think through the important components of a strong social media content strategy so that you have a clear idea of what to create and where and when to post.
At the end of this course you will have a clear understanding of how to pull great content from your business, what social media platforms will work best for you, a better understanding of how different social media platforms function, and what types of content to create vs. curate.
You will also create a social media calendar and a fun visual strategy board to help you easily visualize your strategy to give you motivation and inspiration.

The instructor gives great information, and guides you to figure out things for yourself. She shares information that I am now testing out for myself, and has helped me to outline a plan that I think will work. However, if you have misophonia the smacking may bother you (it did me). If you can make it through (I did it in bits), the content is ABSOLUTELY worthwhile.
Overall I liked this class BUT I think it should be more clearly stated who this class is for. I am a fashion blogger/content creator and this class is not necessarily geared towards that, but more towards a person who maybe owns a small business or provides a service. So some of the steps and advice doesn't apply. But this doesn't become clear until you're well into the class, so it's a little frustrating. Also the PDFs are not editable and I don't have a printer at home - I imagine many people don't. So I think it might be better to provide some type of document that can easily be edited by individuals.

Hmm.. I may have been duped. It has come to my attention that the OBJECTIVE: Christian Ministries website (The host of the article mentioned in my last post) may be a complete and total fabrication. Which is rad.
So, here's my limited evidence produced by my lazy research: "Diamond" Jack Holgroth's bio states "He served our country during the Cold War as a Game Theory Tactician for the Department of Defense and single-handedly developed an elegant solution to the "Fisherman's Quandary", a game theory problem that was crucial to the winning of the arms race and that was famously intractable - until Diamond Jack came along. " Well, the only place I can find a refence to this important game theory problem is on the OBJECTIVE web site. One would think that a solution to a problem which helped defuse the cold war would be mentioned at least once. Plus, no one can be that conservatively fundamentalistically stupid... right?
So, the site is a fake site meant to combat the fake Landover Baptist Ministries, and then, by extrapolation, this site is fake too. You know, the more I look into this, the more I realize how much I've been had! Billy Graham? No way can anyone be that crazy. And I really got to hand it to Fred Phelps for taking us all in with that whole Westboro Baptist church gag. That's some funny shit, and to think I thought it was real! That whole bible thing? Yeah right! Like anyone seriously believes that the world was created in seven days. Pffft! How gullible I've been! To think that all this time I've been convinced that there was this whole group of people who believed that every word in this "bible" was completely true. What a fool I've been!
So it's funny, it's still pretty scary becuase there's really not too much difference between sites like that poke fun at fundamentalism and fundamentalism itself.
P.S. In case I am misunderstood, I honestly have no problem with Christianity or religion in general, even Baptism. I only have a problem with aggressive ignorance, hatred and illogic. It's just that sometimes the two can fall in the same camp. Satanism though, now there's a wack-ass religion.

I know lots of mumma's want to work from home. Of course you do.....BUT.....it's not as easy as you think it might be. It's incredibly hard to find something above board, there are plenty of shonky type ads but they will never come to anything.
The thought of working in your jarmies all day is good at first BUT it's very hard to be productive when you look like a schlep. It just is.
No matter what there will still need to be some sort of outside contact, be it face to face with clients or via the phone.
The children will still interrupt you no matter what. You will likely still need childcare at some level so can go meet with people or at least make a phone call without a "muuuummmmmeeeee" in the background.
You need huge amounts of discipline to really knuckle down, people drop in because they know you are there, you quickly load the dishwasher before you start, then it's time for lunch before you know it.
Reality pic. Betty trying to feed through my back and Cyclone pressing all the keys on the computer. Me looking a TREAT.
I used to get up after the 4am feed and get 2 hours of work done in the silence. Kids up around 7-8am. An hour or so of phone calls after lunch and my day would end. I also needed face to face time sans children - if you have a business at home client contact is just as important as the work you do...or you won't have any business. I can't tell you the amount of times I tried to sound professional during a call with a 2 year old Cyclone banging on the door whilst I hold it shut with my foot. I hid in the wardrobe a few times too. You still need childcare working from home!
However this was the face I presented to everyone. Yanno, making it look sooooo easy.
After awhile I got a little sick of being held up by the parent company as a mascot for 'how easy it is to work at home'. It wasn't easy. It sucked. Yes I made $$$, yes I worked hard but EASY it wasn't. I didn't feel it was fair to present like this without giving people the actual reality. You can't set people up like that. I had a few fallouts with a *insert swear here* from the parent company over this so she completely cut off my supply line.

Working from home & surviving it
I know lots of mumma's want to work from home. Of course you do.....BUT.....it's not as easy as you think it might be. It's incredibly hard to find something above board, there are plenty of shonky type ads but they will never come to anything.

When the kids are babies or toddlers, there is just no way. I had to put mine in care to get anything done, which defeated the purpose. When they're a bit older, they can entertain themselves for stretches. But they still want your attention if you're there. That's just the way it is.

I actually think it will be a lot of fun.
So I'm looking at the Liberty's schedule, and there are like no good games for the rest of the season! No, I'm not being facetious either.
I would love to see Diana "Taurasi the Destroyer" Taurasi (she was sent from the future to destroy all comers in women's basketball... but that's a whole different thing) and her Phoenix Mercury, but nooooo... they aren't coming before the end of the season.
I've totally had a little crush on Sue Bird from the Seattle Storm since her days dominating at UCONN.
So are Sue Bird and the Storm coming to New York? Of course not... it's ridiculous.
Some people talk about Lauren Jackson from the Storm a lot too... but psht - she's totally no Sue Bird. Besides, she's Australian and as discussed earlier Aussies can lead to trouble...
P.S. I totally friended Sue Bird on MySpace after I Googled her for a link to put in this post... and I couldn't stop giggling for like five minutes after I clicked the "are you sure" link (no, I'm not drinking... yet). I'd be flattered to say the least if she accepted, but I'll let you all know what happens.
I guess I'll have to get tickets to see the Detroit Shock, and their head coach... Bill Laimbeer! No, I'm not kidding either. Bill Laimbeer, of "Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball" fame, is the head coach of the Shock!
I don't know about you all... but hearing the intro music, and then the actual gameplay music totally sent chills down my spine... I am so playing some combat basketball after this post is up.
Anybody else notice that the balls in the SNES game look a lot like WNBA balls? Coincidence or clairvoyance? Hmmm...
For those who are confused, the game is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous games ever made. Just watch the clip. It is so bad... it's good. Everything in the game is done with the same button, passing, shooting and attacking other players. This of course leads to trouble since the game doesn't always do what you wanted it to when you press "the button," but it is so awful that it becomes addicting.
Anywho... do you all think Bill Laimbeer would sign my SNES cartridge? Dear God I hope so.
I guess there's really only one way to find out...
Well, it sounds like I've convinced myself to try and go see the Shock when they come to town.
He may not be beautiful like Sue Bird, or a terminator robot like Diana Taurasi... but Bill Laimbeer is a pretty damn cool dude. I hear he even played in the NBA some years ago... and made a solid reputation as a "Bad Boy" in Detroit.
Maybe that's why Detroit hosted a WNBA on-court brawl last night...
Maybe they'll bring some brawl with them to Madison Square Garden... who knows?
Either way it should be neat... or at least interesting, right?


text: ALGIERS, ALGERIA — A car bomb exploded Monday outside the police headquarters in the northeastern city of Tizi-Ouzou, killing at least six people and injuring 25 others, hospital sources said. Twenty of the injured were reported in serious condition, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The bomb apparently went off in a car parked near the main police station. Heavy damage was reported. Although no one claimed responsibility, local sources said it could be the work of the Armed Islamic Group, Algeria's most violent militant organization.

From my point of view, reason for this is that customers very often do not want to educate them self about Scrum, follow strict corporate rules and number of articles describe benefits of Scrum only for software development teams, not for customers too.
If we take a look at mainly standard procedure within corporates, implementing project looks like this:
- they setup board for project
- board specifies requirements and creates budget
- they find responsible person that make details from requirements
- requirements are estimated and if they do not fit within budget, often project is not started
- if requirements fit into budget, project is started and board expects software product in some time frame
- after given time they receive product specified at the beginning. This product satisfies all requirements from specification, but the most often product is not what they expected, lot of functionality will never be used and after all, when they see product they can see that some requirements could be implemented much different (but they were implemented by specification)
- board for project is setup
- board specifies project vision and setups initial budget
- responsible person, let call her product owner, specifies the most important features of project and development can start
- after very short time, 2-4 weeks, product owner is able to see first draft of application. She can review approach, notice some more important feature than planned sprint ago, change course of project if necessary.
- after a few months, the first simple version can be already deployed
- after this time, if board still things that project has future, additional budget can be assigned to the project. If they think that project has no future project can be canceled and not too much money is wasted
- project can go this way as long as really useful features exists. What is the most important, project can be canceled at any moment but valuable product will still exist. Project is finished when board or product owner decides so.
Budget and specification
With traditional approach you have to estimate budget of the whole project. To be able to estimate budget you need to specify most of the requirements with enough details. This means, even before project is started you must know how final product will look like because without that budget estimation is not possible. Well this is tedious, error prone work that usually does not give expected results. As you have to estimate all the future features, probability of big discrepancies is big.
With Scrum approach you can assign some initial budget to the project. This can be budget that is enough for few sprints, so it means no more than a few months. Project vision is enough, because what you really need to estimate is only the most important features of application. Don't tell me that all features of future application have the same importance :). As you have less feature to estimate, probability of big discrepancies is smaller.
I think that conclusion which approach is better is clear. At least, I would select Scrum approach.
Project development
So you have started your project with the traditional approach. In front of you is few months (or a years) of development, your team is struggling with requirements, ambiguous definitions, unclear descriptions, lack of support. No changes in specification are possible because it can influence budget, you have to stragle with hard change request process, you don't have time for it. Actually who cares if you new request is actually excellent idea, you should remember it during proposal phase. If you are lucky your project will be delivered on time and within budget. If you are lucky final product will be somehow similar to one you expected. Generally speaking, those projects are more or less always failures.
So you have started your project with the Scrum approach. In front of view is one sprint that will last from 2-4 weeks. After sprint you can review shippable product developed with production quality. You process with further sprint. After a few sprints your most important features are implemented and if you want you can even start using it. Your budget is almost spent so you need another meeting with a board. You present project to the board and they almost immediately after project kick off can see what a product will look like. If they like it they approve budget for next few sprints. But then you got excellent idea. It is real breakthrough within product. Well, this is Scrum :), no problem. Include it into next sprint and you will have it soon implemented. Thats all about complicated change request. All the time you are implementing the most important features of product. After some time your product is finished and you have product exactly by your expectation because you was able to review it and correct directions after each 2-4 weeks.
Well, which approach would you select?
I tried to have a look at the Scrum from business point of view. It is clear that Scrum is valuable for developers. But what is the most important in these days is business.
Business wants to minimize risk and maximize profit with minimum investment. That was the reason why waterfall model was introduced within first place. But as it turns out, Scrum can minimize risk and investment but at the same time maximize profit.

Al Jazeera kicked out of Egypt, Nilesat signal cut
January 30th, 2011 - 13:17 UTC
by Andy Sennitt.
Qatar-based satellite channel Al Jazeera was ordered by Egypts information ministry earlier today to shut down its operations in the country, and later in the day its signal to some parts of the Middle East was cut. The news channel, which says it can reach 220 million households in more than 100 countries, said in a message on its broadcast that Egypts satellite Nilesat had cut off its broadcasting signal. That effectively took Al Jazeera off the air in some parts of the Arab world, but other signals were still available.
Dear viewers, Al Jazeeras signal has been cut off on Nilesat, it broadcast via a signal visible in Kuwait, and gave satellite frequencies on which the channel was still available.
Earlier, Egyptian authorities ordered it to stop operations in Egypt, though correspondents were still reporting news by telephone. The Information Minister ordered suspension of operations of Al Jazeera, cancelling of its licences and withdrawing accreditation to all its staff as of today, a statement on Egypts official Mena news agency said.
Launched in Doha, Qatar, in 1996, Al Jazeera has more than 400 reporters in over 60 countries, according to its website.
(Source: Reuters)
In a statement, Al Jazeera said it strongly denounces and condemns the closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government. Al Jazeera has received widespread global acclaim for their [sic] coverage on the ground across the length and breadth of Egypt, the statement said.
An Al Jazeera spokesman said that the company would continue its strong coverage regardless. Al Jazeera sees this as an act designed to stifle and repress the freedom of reporting by the network and its journalists, the statement said.
In this time of deep turmoil and unrest in Egyptian society it is imperative that voices from all sides be heard; the closing of our bureau by the Egyptian government is aimed at censoring and silencing the voices of the Egyptian people.
Al Jazeera assures its audiences in Egypt and across the world that it will continue its in-depth and comprehensive reporting on the events unfolding in Egypt. Al Jazeera journalists have brought unparallelled reporting from the ground from across Egypt in the face of great danger and extraordinary circumstances. Al Jazeera Network is appalled at this latest attack by the Egyptian regime to strike at its freedom to report independently on the unprecedented events in Egypt.
Al Jazeeras Arabic channels are now broadcast as follows:
1) New frequency for Arabic and Mubasher on Nilesat 7W:
10949 vertical (new)
SR: 27.500 Msps
2) New frequency for Arabic and Mubasher on Arabsat 26E:
11585 vertical (new)
SR: 27.500 Msps
3) Arabic and Mubasher on Hotbird:
12111 MHz Vertical (Old)
SR: 27.500 Msps
4) Arabic and Mubasher on Arabsat Badr4 (Old):
12034 MHz Horizontal
5) Arabic and Mubasher on Arabsat Badr4 (Old):

Can't beat it 01/02/2017
For the price, for the quality, and reliability you just can't beat this ammo. So much better then comparable priced ammo like PMC etc.... and I will never order from anyone but Best Price Ammo not only do they have the BEST price on ammo but their shipping cost is less then half of the other guys. If you buy from anywhere else you deserve to over pay and YOU WILL.

40 Pound B Stock Damplifier Mixed Piece Box Video
Second Skin posted a topic in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEv7TZPAgZc I created this video because so many customers call/email and want to know what comes in the 40 pound mix box of B Stock Damplifier/Damplifier Pro. The product contains trimmed factory error pieces of both Damplifier and Damplifier Pro, we try to keep it more Pro than regular, the pieces are hand trimmed to remove any unusable pieces and it results in a great discounted box for dampers on a budget. The B Stock does contain pieces that may have wrinkles, uneven edges, and/or +/- 25% butyl rubber thickness but are still made from the same high quality 100% American made butyl rubber and 6.5 mil foil as the A Stock Damplifiers. B Stock products are not always in stock as they only are available upon factory errors, but they do come back in stock in burst throughout the year so always check back if they are out of stock when you first check. The 40 pound B Stock box can be found and purchased here at: http://store.secondskinaudio.com/damplifier-damplifier-pro…/ In this project I used about 15 pounds of the 40 pounds of B Stock. I only did single layer coverage as I do not have a loud bass system or loud exhaust in this vehicle. The 40 pound Box can cover between 60-90 sqft enough to the average sized car floor, doors, and trunk area. Second Skin For The Win!!!!

Alex Petroski is 11 years old—but at least 13 years old in responsibility years. He has a hero: astronomer Carl Sagan, a dog: golden retriever Carl Sagan, and a plan: launch a rocket carrying a Golden iPod full of his own commentary into outer space for aliens to listen to and enjoy. Jack Cheng's debut novel, See You In the Cosmos, is the transcript of these live recordings, as Alex packs up his rocket and Carl Sagan the Dog and heads to the Southwest High-Altitude Rocket Festival.

"One of the most important things is to laugh with your children and to let them see you think they're being funny when they're trying to be. It gives children enormous pleasure to think they've made you laugh. They feel they've reached one of the nicest parts in you.... As a picture book artist, I don't think one can be too much on the side of the child."*
Helen Oxenbury understands babies. She knows that they are messy, cranky, and wonderful. She knows that few things fascinate a baby like, well, another baby. In the world of board books, those sturdy first books that are impervious to drool and can survive a few tasty chews, Helen Oxenbury reigns supreme.
The man in this photo might need a caregiver's help, or he could be the primary caregiver for a family member. Thousands of families open their homes to chronically ill and simply lonely family members. It's a gesture of love and commitment, but caregiving can bring emotional hardships as well as rewards. Even the most loving relatives can feel burned out after months or years of providing care in their homes.
Officially, May Day is the 1st of May, but really anytime during this splendid spring month is a perfect opportunity to share small gifts of the season with everyone: teachers; friends; neighbors; and family. You can do that with May baskets—a wonderful, old-fashioned tradition.
Pants are warm. Pants are soft. Pants are for pandas? No, absolutely not, according to the adult panda in Panda Pants, by Jacqueline Davies. But baby panda desperately wants a pair of pants—with pockets, please!
As parent and child wander through the bamboo forest debating the merits of pants, sharp-eyed readers may notice the tell-tale signs of danger stalking the pair. When a leopard attacks, will it be the end of our pandas? Or, can quick-thinking baby panda save the day . . . with a little help from a pair of pants?
Not every child today learns in a big building with lots of other students all studying the same things at the same time. In the past twenty years, the homeschool phenomenon has caught fire across America.

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

100 Days of Happiness by Fausto Brizzi
What would you do if you knew you only had 100 days left to live? So begins the last hundred days of Lucio's life, as he attempts to care for his family, win back his wife (the love of his life and afterlife), and spend the next three months enjoying every moment with a zest he hasn't felt in years. From helping his hopelessly romantic, widowed father-in-law find love, discovering comfort in enduring friendships, and finding new ones, Lucio becomes, at last, the man he's always meant to be. In 100 epigrammatic chapters, one for each of Lucio's remaining days on earth, it is as delicious as a hot doughnut and a morning cappuccino. (catalog summary)
An Available Man by Hilma Wolitzer
When sixty-two-year-old science teacher Edward Schuyler is widowed, he finds himself ambushed by female attention. Edward receives phone calls from widows seeking love, or at least lunch, while well-meaning friends try to set him up at dinner parties. Even an attractive married neighbor offers herself to him. The problem is that Edward doesn't feel available. He's still mourning his beloved wife, Bee, and prefers solitude and the familiar routine of work, gardening, and bird-watching. But then his stepchildren surprise him by placing a personal ad in The New York Review of Books on his behalf. (catalog summary)
Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
Britt-Marie is a socially awkward, fussy busybody who is used to being organized. When she walks out on her cheating husband and gets a job as caretaker of the dilapidated recreation center in Borg, she is woefully unprepared for the changes. But as she takes on the task of leading the supremely untalented children's soccer team to victory, she just might find a place she belongs. (catalog summary)

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of A Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance
Vance, a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, provides an account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm. J.D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance's grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America.

Allegheny Front: The Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction Selected by Lydia Millet, authored by Matthew Neill Null
The deceptively powerful stories in Null's first collection, after his debut novel Honey from the Lion, create a map not only of the geography of rural West Virginia but also of its people. These are characters inhabiting places largely ignored by the outside world. In "Mates," a man kills an endangered bald eagle on his land, believing himself to be above the law, and is then stalked and tormented by the eagle's mate. In "Gauley Season," a group of ex-miners turn to operating rafting companies after their mining jobs disappear, but the promising new industry quickly leads to tragedy. The rugged lives of a group of log drivers in the late 1800s are chronicled in "The Slow Lean of Time." In the astonishing "Telemetry," a young scientist's camp on Back Allegheny Mountain is visited by a local man and his daughter, their presence forcing the scientist to confront her relationship to her own origins, which becomes a recurring theme in the collection. Violence is inevitable in these stories-guns are almost always present, and they aren't just decoration-but there is plenty of beauty, too. Landscape is an essential element, as well as the constant presence of wild animals, but Null focuses on the ways that a setting can shape how we identify with the world. The scope of the collection contains voices from multiple generations, and the result is a kaleidoscopic portrait of a distinctive region of North America, as well as an exercise in finding the universal in the particular.

When we opened the tools menu on the Read only form most of the options are missing. Is there anyway we can make these options available on the read only form?
For an example: In Sales Order form, Tools -> The list of values are: Find Customer, Workflow Status, Auto Schedule, Create Hold Source etc.. But in Read-Only Form, Tools -> only shows: Workflow Status , Show Line Details
