I know the answer will depend on what types of tables will be used, size of venue, etc. But I'm just curious, how many guests did you invite, how many attended and how many tables did you wind up with (what types)?
Our guest list is at 145, I'm anticipating about 120 guests to RSVP yes, leaving me with 12 (round) tables with 10 people at each table. But I believe the tables typically sit 8-12 people comfortably, so do the venues typically try to use less tables to save you money on centerpieces?
Interested in the answers!

Who You Calling a Geek?
"Geeks on Call," "Geek Squad," "Geeks R Us" "Geeks n Freeks." Many of the recent entrees into the mobile PC service business identify with the "Geek" sobriquet. Why? Are their employees really "Geeks?" Do they actually believe we want "Geeks" drooling on keyboards in our own homes?
The term "Geek" originated with the traveling circuses or carnivals in 16th century Europe. Troupe members who could no longer perform due to age or injury often became "Circus Geeks." A "Circus Geek" made his living in the "Geek Pits" AKA sideshows. The "Geek's" performance required no particular talent. They drew crowds of morbidly curious townsfolk by biting the heads off live chickens, eating live animals or insects, self mutilation or by performing bizarre, disgusting or outrageous acts (like the reality show "Fear Factor.")
According to "Wickipedia," today's "Geek" is "a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by obscure or very specific areas of knowledge, often electronic in nature. This obsessive preoccupation precludes the development of normal social skills."
The classic "Geek" resembles the WWII stereotype of the Japanese fighter pilot with protruding, gapped teeth and horn rimmed glasses. Add a white shirt with a pen stuffed pocket protector, wrinkled wash pants, white socks with sandals and you have a "geek."
We also investigated the difference between a "Geek," a "Nerd," and a "Dork." A "Nerd" is similar to a "Geek" in outward appearance and lack of social skills but has no obvious obsession. The "Dork" is simply a wannabe "Geek" with some social skills but lacking any specific knowledge. Our Internet search kept taking us to Al Gore's home page.
Computer and Band are the "Geeks" with whom we are most familiar. Certainly there are people who are obsessed with music and fit the "Band Geek" profile, but the overwhelming majority of folks who play music are pretty normal and possessed of excellent social skills.
"Computer Geeks" did create the PC industry. Bill Gates is definitely one. Even with $50 billion in the bank he still went to work every day. Who but a "Geek" would do that?
While "Geeks" can still be found in computer industry R & D organizations, they don't come to your house to hook up your broadband and they don't sell PCs in retail stores. Dealing with the public requires social skills and a broad knowledge of user needs that exceed the understanding, interest and attention span of the true "Geek."
Perhaps in the early days of indoor plumbing there were "Toilet Geeks." "Horseless Carriage Geeks" may have repaired early automobiles. Today they are simply plumbers and auto mechanics.
PCs have been around for over a quarter century now. Perhaps it's time to recognize the fact that the technicians who keep our PCs up and running are mainstream men and women that lead perfectly normal lives. If Best Buy really hires "Geeks" for its mobile PC repair "Geek Squad," they might want to keep some live chickens around in case their "Geeks" need a snack.

The Sims Deluxe
February 05, 2003
Playing the Sims is my new favorite over playing Metroid Prime for Gamecube. This is about 6 months after I've stopped playing Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction for the PC. The game has a great graphics engine if your computer can handle all the bitmaps that account for Furniture and the house itself. The characters of course are live action 3D models that really need a 32 Bit videocard at least. I use a 64 bit ATI Radian 9000 in my PC. The Sims is game were you get to control people and determine what personality. Every sim has a right to be happy. Sims start out happy. It is easy to keep your Sims happy if they have something to eat, music and a job that pays for their bills, furniture and food. I like the Sims because it is original. Some Sims get really bored and do nothing. But that's when you get to start over and make adjustments to your house size before you spend $15,000 out of your $20,000 on the home, then run out of money for personal items like kitchenware or beds and dressers.
The houses you can build are endless. You can even make gardens and keep them in good shape.
Your Sims start out at 0 work habits, 0 creativity and 0 skilled. Each time you learn to play the guitar or bench press you earn 1 level skill. Sometimes you will be doing so much that you won't have time for friends but don't forget your friends or they won't be your friend anymore. That is, unless the other guy is as lonely and bord as you are. Gamers will find that part out very quickly. Minutes fly by like seconds. Hours fly by like minutes. The day goes by very quickly. So you'll always have something to do. There is a learning curve that your Sim will learn. He/she will eventually learn to take out the trash by himself or shower himself or work out himself and if he really is happy he'll go to work without you clicking on the car. Ingenious system isn't it.
There is really no leveling up in The Sims like in Role Playing Game but like RPGs you can be playing The Sims for a long time. Most of it's uncomplicated. Buy the 2002 version of The Sims Deluxe. I recommend this game to anyone.
|klapaucius - Using this cheat will get you §1,000. Using ;! after the cheat will repeat the cheat again!
|rosebud - Using this cheat will get you §1,000. Using ;! after the cheat will repeat the cheat again
|set_hour (0-24) - Changes the actually time of the game. Some bugs have been known to pop up when using this cheat.
move_objects (on-off) - Allows you to move/delete objects that the game will not normally allow. Useful for say getting rid of trash, or dirty plates, even bills. Warning, using this cheat on either the mailbox, or the trashcan may cause problems with your game. We highly recommend you don't touch those two items.
|autonomy (0-100) - Changes how your sims think on their own. 0 is not at all, and 100 is complete. An example would be, at 100 your sims can do things that normally only you can direct them to do.

text: Recently, Adam M. Sowards, a historian and environmental interdisciplinarian, posted a link to his Twitter account that showcased every nuclear explosion on the planet from 1945 to 1998. The video itself is cinematically underwhelming–sometimes feeling like a mixture between a bad techno beat and an Atari game from 1983. Yet, if the viewer spends the time to watch the clip in its entirety, I would expect that they would walk away feeling somewhat nauseated having realized that most of the world's superpowers–namely the U.S.–have unleashed such a destructive force on Mother Earth 2053 times. What really makes this clip hit home is when it is paired with actual footage of nuclear explosions like that compiled by Atom Central. The negative environmental impact created by these explosions must be staggering. The realization of the detrimental effects of radiation has steadily increased since 1945, but more responsible testing methods do not negate the long-term impacts of tests from years-ago. The CTBTO has a number of reports and educational resources that better illustrate the negative side-effects of nuclear testing. In addition to the environmental impact of nuclear weapon testing, their financial impact must be considered as well. Brookings Nuclear Weapons Cost Study Project lists 50 facts about U.S. nuclear testing. Number 50 tells that over 35 trillion dollars have been spent on nuclear related activities in the U.S alone between 1940 to 1998. Of course there are a number of potential benefits like propulsion systems and energy that the nuclear age has engendered, but can we justify killing our planet and mankind along with it in the hopes that one day we might be able to responsibly control the atom.

Each day from now until Christmas day one article will be devoted to a subject connected with Christmas. Today we take a look at Christingles.
A Christingle is a symbolic object used in advent services in churches of many Christian denominations. It has its origins in theMoravian Church, with the first recorded use, in Germany, in 1747.
This is the story of the first Christingle:
One Christmas time back in 1747 in the estate of Marienborn near Eckhartshausen in Germany, Pastor Johannes de Watteville sat at home in front of his fire. He was thinking how he could explain the love of Jesus, and what Christmas really meant to the children in the church. He decided to prepare a simple symbol to help make the message of Christmas fresh and lively for them. Pastor Johannes de Watteville gave each child a lighted candle wrapped in a red ribbon, with a prayer that said "Lord Jesus, kindle a flame in these dear children's hearts". This was the first ever Christingle service.
Many years later, in 1968, Christingle services were introduced to the Anglican Church in Britain by John Pensom of The Childrens Society, and the custom spread quickly; each year there are more and more Christingle services in England and Wales, although today's Christingles are a little different.
The Christingle consists of:
an orange representing the world with a red ribbon around it representing the blood of Jesus (i.e. his death on the cross for our sins, in our place) fruits and sweets (commonly dolly mixtures) are skewered on 4 cocktail sticks which are pushed into the orange representing the fruits of the earth and the four seasons a lighted candle is pushed into the centre of the orange representing Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Jesus describes himself in the Bible, in John chapter 8 v. 12, in this way: 'I am the Light of the World, if you follow me you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.' (New Living Translation) The base of the candle is commonly wrapped in tinfoil; this is regarded by some as purely functional, though others ascribe it with a specific meaning.

Whats the point of this thread again?
I don't get it at all.
If he is trying to say that internet service in Pakistan is a lot bad than BD then I am not surprised. Pakistan is not even nearly developed as Bangladesh in the tech field. That country is one of the hottest region in asia and they don't get even 12 hour electricity in 24 hour. That country is almost destroyed by internal war, tribal war, american restrictions and talebans. Gov restricted internet access in many ways to reduce taleban activity online.
They are trying to protect their nationality at this point, they have no time to think about this.

The Foundations Of Freedom
Contributed by Richard Lee on Jun 23, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: This sermon addresses the foundations of spiritual and national freedom and uses stories from American history to illustrate the freedom we enjoy in Christ.
Study more on this topic and other related topics in the American Patriot's Bible (Thomas Nelson), edited by Dr. Richard Lee, at www.americanpatriotsbible.com.
"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalm 11:3
The year was 1833. The place was the island of Jamaica, the Crown Colony of the British Empire. The issue was the abolition of slavery. Although the British considered Jamaica an important resource to their empire, their Parliament had voted to set the nation free. A date was set and the island slaves waited for their freedom with great anticipation.
Finally the morning came, and as the rays of the sun announced the day, across the Island could be heard the song, "Free at last, free at last, Thank God almighty, free at last."
Likewise, there is a song of freedom at the heart of the American spirit. We are a nation founded upon the idea of Freedom.
Our Constitution declares we were established:
"To secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and those who would follow." Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address declared our nation to have been, "conceived in liberty". Freedom and America are synonymous terms.
But true freedom never comes apart from God. Our Forefathers understood and acknowledged that vital truth. That is why when they establish this land they made sure that America was build on solid foundations from the Word of God.
When Francis Scott Key wrote the second verse to the Star-Spangled Banner, he knew what he was writing.
"Oh, thus be it ever, when free men shall stand,
Between their loved homes and wars desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land,
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when because it is just;
And this be our motto: "In God is our Trust."
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave.
O're the land of the free and the home of the brave."
John 8:32 "And ye shall know the Truth, and the truth shall make you free."
A clear understanding of the truths of life, morality, honesty and social order are best found in the Holy Bible. The teachings of no other document more plainly describe the principles upon which nations build a civilized society.
These Biblical principles have come to be known as the Judeo-Christian Ethic. And although they are numerous and found throughout the Bible, we will look at seven of the most basic ones that have undoubtedly served as foundations for our great nation.
NOTE: (See "7 Principles of the Judeo-Christian Ethic" in the opening pages of the American Patriot's Bible.)
The principle of:
Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder"
Matthew 22:39 "...You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
The Bible teaches us respect for our own lives and lives of others. When we believe and understand that every human being has measureless worth that does away with bigotry, racism, self-centeredness all the rest that goes along with it.
Our very Government guarantees every person: "the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness..."

CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program that is designed to elicit as broad an adaptational physical response as possible. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but rather it focuses on competency in each of the ten recognized fitness domains; cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. Our athletes are trained to successfully perform multiple, diverse and randomized physical challenges.
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs.
This is a mixed level class specifically for Athletes. Runners, Cyclists, Triathletes, Swimmers, Cross-Fitters, etc. all are welcome. Even if you are new to exercise or you're not an athlete and you just want to bring a little flexibility into your life, you are welcome to join in!
This is a great way for you to enhance your sport, improve your movement, increase your strength and add something great into your training. Everyone needs to stretch right? But… do you make the time for it? Stretching has been proven beneficial for many chronic conditions; back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and more
Are you a weightlifting enthusiast? Do you LOVE the sport of weightlifting? Do you want to get stronger? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, this class is for you. We will be guiding beginner, intermediate and advanced lifters through barbell movements ranging from the classical Olympic Lifts (snatch, clean and jerk) to the foundation movements (squats, deadlifts, presses). This class is not about how much weight can you lift or how fast can you lift it. It is about doing it correctly.
Cardio- and core-intensive workouts that don't require prior Crossfit experience, but do require willingness to work hard! With a focus on dumbbell, kettlebell, cardio, and bodyweight movements, Conditioning! is a great way to mix it up.
Some extra time at the gym to work on those things that you need to. Use the Open Gym time to work on a skill, do a workout you missed earlier in the week, or work on homework from a Skill Session or Specialty Class. A Trainer is on site during that time to ensure the safety of everyone in the gym.

Massive sulphide mineral deposits discovered near Bathurst were formed in an ancient sea-bottom. Water circulating through the sediment concentrated minerals along volcanic domes and faults. Undersea features called 'black smokers' can be formed as superheated water ejects sulfur-bearing minerals from chimney-like vents.

Here, homotopy analysis method, which gives us a vast freedom to choose the answer type, is applied to solve nonlinear heat transfer differential equations and analytical results are compared with those of HPM and the numerical results. In this study, the procedure of HAM is applied to two cases in different ways according to the physics of the target problem. Comparing the two methods, our attention is focused on the results accuracy; and applicability of different methods in many cases with different limitation is studied. In the two examples of this paper, the effect of small parameter increaser on the accuracy of the analytical results of two methods also has been studied. The first differential equation is the modeling equation of a cooling lumped system with combined convection and radiation. The second one is the modeling equation of heat transfer with conduction in a slab of thermal dependent conductivity. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The iceberg: FATCA is the enforcement mechanism for a tax policy called Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR). FBAR spells out the compliance requirements of "United States persons" who have foreign accounts that amount to $10,000 or more at any point in one year. Those accounts and other assets are considered taxable by the IRS even if the "United States person" lives and earns abroad. FBAR has been less than effective in collecting taxes, however, because the IRS must rely on voluntary reporting, snitches or luck. Enter FATCA. Passed in March 2010, FATCA imposes extensive requirements on foreign banks and financial institutions to report on the accounts and transactions of American clients. It does not target individuals but institutions. Or, rather, it targets individuals by strong-arming institutions to provide open access to their accounts.
The Swamp ignores law as we all know, and Congress operates a rigged money game. Plus some 85% of us despise the place, and about 35% lof us are secessionists. And the black market thus grows faster than taxes due. That makes tax collection impossible, until the Swamp is defeated.

"As usual a great read with a wonderful cast and intriguing story." -Jeannie A.
For three hundred years, the Blackmoore house has harbored a valuable secret …The Blackmoore sisters learn about this secret from the dying lips of the historian they hired to decipher their centuries old family journal. Too bad he never gets the chance to tell them exactly what he has uncovered…or where to find it.
But someone else knows where to find it, and they are prepared to take it from the Blackmoore's no matter what the cost. The sisters are forced to put their newly discovered paranormal powers to the test as they fight off treasure stealing pirates in between figuring out clues from ghosts, decoding an old journal, finding their way through an underground maze and dodging quicksand, bottomless pits and whirlpools.
Oh, and did I mention the dark and mysterious stranger that keeps showing up–is he friend or foe? Of course, their trusty cat, Belladonna is around to give them a helping hand when they need it … and she has a secret of her own. Will the Blackmoore sisters be able to figure out where the treasure is and get to it before the dead tide turns and hides it for another three hundred years?

"I was totally caught up in this love story with a very quirky premise." -Helen P.
Molly Bishop loves living in Manhattan and managing a boutique luxury hotel. She's about to be promoted to her dream job of General Manager, the role she's been striving for her entire career. There's only one thing standing in her way. The will of her childhood friend, Christian Ford's grandfather. She hasn't even seen Christian in over ten years, but a recent run-in with his grandfather during a rare visit home, resulted in a new condition to the will. Christian will only inherit the ranch he's been running and the real estate development business that he has expanded, if he marries Molly and stays married for at least six months.
This is what I would call a cozy romance, it's romantic and sweet and is set in a small fictional town about 30 miles from Bozeman, MT. Warning, if you prefer your stories with the bedroom doors wide open and the windows steamed up, you may be disappointed. 🙂
I love to cook and try new recipes and if you do too, you may want to check out the recipe I included at the end of the book, for Lazy Lobster Casserole, the dish that Molly serves her guests at the Rose Cottage Inn's first wine dinner. It's a recipe I know by heart and have made a million times and is great for special occasions. It's a holiday tradition in our family to have it every Christmas Eve. 🙂

Kyle Brightman—late of the advertising industry and soon-to-be-late of the 5th floor psych ward—has a job offer he can't refuse. A new resort in the Caribbean is looking for an art director. Kyle soon finds himself on the Isle of St. Agrippina working alongside a beautiful copywriter with an icy handshake. Questions arise: Why does the resort management team sport spray-on tans in the Bahamas? How can the resort offer such cheap vacation packages? What does one do with vats of Astroglide?
To get the answers, Kyle must first navigate a series of wildly unpredictable events with a cast of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including a seductress jungle assassin, her partially paralyzed talking Chihuahua, an Ivy League Rastafarian seaplane captain, Kyle's ex-psych ward roommate, a former Haliburton mercenary, and a French tavern owner with a fondness for goats, all set to the greatest hits of the 70's. Pablo Cruise never felt so right.

I got told it was a theatrical shoot and I thought that I could maybe use this to my advantage.
Make up is a type of mask after all.
I get to the shoot, after this make up artist has messed me about for a couple of weeks, to learn that this shoot is actually a glamour shoot.
Now, let me tell you right now. I have never been more embarrassed in all my life. My lord.
So the make up artist is doing the hair and make up and I'm setting up trying to think of the best way to light for this type of shoot.
I shot on a black background because thats what the make up artist said she wanted. She said, and I quote "A black background please because the model is wearing a red dress"
Now I'm no expert but there actually has to be fabric to be a dress, not just netting and a bit of satin.
I tried to make the best of a bad situation and asked the make up artist to direct the model as I obviously didn't have a clue what she was using these images for or what she was wanting
The make up artist just looked at me and was like, what do you mean?
Like pulling teeth.
I know now that what I should have done is tell her that it wasn't what i expected and i didn't have time to waste to shoot something I would get nothing from but I'm too nice and could never do such a thing.
If someone tried that again on me now I'd have no problem saying hell to the no.
Here's a few of the pieces.
Please note the face being a totally different colour to the rest of her and me having no clue how to fix this.
Saw more of this poor girl than I needed to.
Safe to say I'll stick to my masks, thanks.

"....Its been a very punctuated day today. With that slow sense of impending disaster, that makes you invisible in the familiar throng of extended family, and before your own silent reflections in car windows. Something in my mind promises defeat, and I can feel the longing for the numbness of right now, even as right now is here and not in the past. Some where, I can feel the rythm of a last chance, beating, disguised with the final laughter of my thumping heart before I sleep tonight. I can feel it, right now. A nostalgia for a moment I am still breathing in. Absurd how utterly completely I can sense the movement, even of the thought as it flexes, in my gutt. And yet there is an apt disconnection, between what I am reaching to touch and what I feel when I touch it. There is the divorce of senses, and my lungs breathe what my chest does not fill. My eyes see with a comprehension of their own, what my mind does not think. And I am sitting, in the middle of a hundred pieces of me, a little broken, and very amused. I think I can understand some how, what happens in these short bursts of abnormal activity. But I do not think I can articulate it. Just for the record, I'm not stoned.
I felt awake today, after a long time. There was a rusty thought in the back of my head for a while. I broke it. And it felt like a shove in the face. A good one. I'm up now.
I went to amiji's house, and thought like i always do, that things fall into transitory places, where they sit and look at you, but dont fit. Theres a swing thats been hanging in her garden since Maryam and I were little. The ropes used to be ugly when we were small. They were rough, like jute, and would scratch a child's palm. So abaji called the gardner one time. Gami mama. He called Gami mama and he told him to get the ropes changed because they cut my hand. So gami mama got the ropes changed. And the new ones had rubber on them, easy for little hands to hold, for abaji to assure himself with. But even now, so long after I cut my hand, after Gami Mama has lost what strength he had in him to change ropes and kill cats, so many years after abaji has died, I sit on that swing and I think to myself, "Be careful with the ropes. They cut." Only they don't. The green rubber sits as ugly and comfortable as a fat cow on cud, and the swing swings as high as ever, and the dust flies like it always does when my heels kick it, and I survive it all, with nothing more than red hands. Its unsatisfying. It doesn't fit. Its been years, but the rubber's in transit to becoming rough, like jute, and until it does, it just doesn't fit. It won't, till my daughter laughs at the ultimate thrill of swinging a swing, makes the dust fly and then screams to go tell her grandfather that the rope she held made her hands bleed. It just wont fit, till i tell some one to fix the damn rubber so it wont injure children any more. And if that day wont come, and if the swing dies, and the house dies, and the moment I can still see dies with it, then it will all have died in transit. And thats a sad way to go".

Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Alex Lash and Lila Winter Lash
Lila Winter Lash, daughter of Fay Nebb and Louis Winter, was born in 1928 in Brooklyn, New York. She discusses her family history, including the Winter family's early-twentieth-century connection to Charleston, South Carolina. When Lila met Alex "Al" Lash in New York, he was working as a kosher butcher in a family business that extended four or five generations back to the Old Country. Lila and Al, who married in 1947, describe Al's training and career in butchering, kosher and non-kosher. Two years after they married, the couple moved to Charleston after agreeing to buy Joseph and Anna Zalkin's kosher butcher shop on King Street. The Lashes recall the difficulties of running the business, including procurement, long hours, competition, and customer relations. Dealing with rumors that they weren't kosher and storing their inventory during two hurricanes were among the challenges they faced. Lila provides anecdotes and information relating to Al's love of bowling and his involvement in leagues.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Flossie Ginsberg Arnold and Norman Arnold
Flossie Ginsberg Arnold and her son, Norman Arnold, discuss their family history. Flossie and her parents, Isaac and Pauline Ginsberg, immigrated to Charleston, South Carolina, from Russia around 1908, when Flossie was about one year old. Flossie recalls living on Hanover Street in the neighborhood they referred to as "Little Mexico," where her family owned a small grocery store. Ultimately, the Ginsbergs moved to a home on Ashley Avenue and Isaac opened I. Ginsberg, Inc., on Meeting Street, selling cigars, candy, and notions. Flossie was working behind the cash register when her future husband, Ben Arnold, walked in. Charleston was a port of call for the Clyde Line steamer Ben was taking to New York from Florida, where he operated drugstores in Lake Worth and West Palm Beach. Flossie and Ben married in 1928 and shortly after, moved from Florida to Charleston, lured by the presence of family and a Jewish community, and Isaac's offer to include Ben in the family business. Isaac and Ben developed a wholesale tobacco and drugstore enterprise with locations in several South Carolina cities, including Columbia, the state capital. Ben ran the Columbia store, which they expanded to include liquor. Around 1940 Flossie, Ben, and their son, Arnold, moved to the capital city, and in the mid-'40s, Isaac and Ben split up the business, Isaac keeping the tobacco distributorship, and Ben assuming full control of the liquor operation.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Henry Berlin
In this brief interview, Henry Berlin, a son of Charleston, South Carolina, natives Sam and Bertie Livingstain Berlin, describes growing up in the coastal city where his grandfather, Henry Berlinsky, a Polish immigrant, opened a dry goods store on lower King Street in the 1880s. The family name was changed from Berlinsky to Berlin when Sam Berlin and his brother took over the store. Their father, an observant Jew, did not want his name to be associated with a business that opened on the Sabbath. Sam was active in political and civic affairs, and was one of the first Jewish Charlestonians to become a member of the St. Andrews Society, a charitable organization. A big sports fan, he owned Charleston minor league baseball teams and supported local boxing matches. Henry notes that they were one of the few Jewish families living south of Broad Street and, as a result, most of his friends were gentiles. Nevertheless, the Berlins attended the Orthodox synagogue Brith Sholom, and Sam led the effort to merge Brith Sholom and Beth Israel. Henry mentions the split that occurred prior to the merger, resulting in the creation of Emanu-El, Charleston's Conservative congregation. Note: the transcript contains additions and corrections made by Henry during proofing.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Hersh M. Galinsky
Rabbi Hersh M. Galinsky, discusses the controversy that surrounded the establishment of a suburban minyan house during his tenure (1963 to 1970) at the Orthodox Brith Sholom Beth Israel, in Charleston, South Carolina. He also addresses the current—at the time of the interview—debate regarding moving the synagogue from its downtown location to West Ashley, where a majority of its members live.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Leon Banov
Leon Banov, Jr., a retired proctologist at the time of this interview, was the grandson of Alexander Banov, an emigrant from Poland who ran a dry goods store in Red Top, South Carolina, a small, rural community a few miles from Charleston. Alexander's son, Leon Sr., who was eight years old when he arrived in America, attended Charleston's Orthodox synagogue, Brith Sholom, but received his confirmation instruction from Ellen de Castro Williams, a woman of Sephardic ancestry and member of the Reform synagogue, Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim (KKBE). Leon Jr. credits her with starting the first Orthodox Sunday school in South Carolina, and his father was a member of its first confirmation class. To show his appreciation for Mrs. WiIliams's efforts, Leon Sr. gave her a napkin holder shaped as a deer from his family's modest collection of silver pieces. She, in turn, gave the napkin ring to Leon Sr.'s son, the interviewee, upon the occasion of his bar mitzvah. Thus began a tradition whereby the deer is passed down alternately to a descendant of the Banov and Williams families as a gift to a new bar or bat mitzvah. Leon Sr., a pharmacist and an M.D., became the first health director of the Charleston County Health Department in 1920, a position he held for forty-one years. He recorded his experiences in As I recall: the story of the Charleston County Health Department. He married Minnie Monash, whose family was from Germany and practiced Reform Judaism. The couple raised their three children in the Reform tradition and attended KKBE. Leon Jr. discusses his siblings and reports that he did not experience any antisemitism growing up. He organized the first cub scout pack in Charleston and received several honors for his involvement in and promotion of the Boy Scouts of America, including the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award in 1989. His numerous contributions to the medical community include serving on an advisory panel for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and acting as chairman of the Charleston County Board of Health. He also recalls certain former KKBE rabbis and describes how he met his wife, Rita Landesman. Note: the transcript contains comments made by members of the Banov family during proofing.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Max Furchgott and Dale Dreyfoos
Cousins Max Furchgott and Dale Dreyfoos review their family history. Dale's maternal grandmother Lillian Furchgott married Pincus LeRoy Pinkussohn (he changed the spelling of the family name to Pinkerson during World War II), whose grandfather settled in Charleston, South Carolina, around 1850. Lillian's father, Herman Furchgott, and his brother Max, grandfather of interviewee Max, opened a dry goods store on King Street in Charleston in the 1860s. Max describes growing up in Charleston and recalls the moves his family made during the Great Depression to Orangeburg, South Carolina; Goldsboro, North Carolina; and Florence, South Carolina, before returning to Charleston. The Furchgotts have been members of Reform Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim (KKBE) since the first generation in Charleston. Max discusses the conflict that arose among members of the congregation in the 1960s during Rabbi Burton Padoll's tenure, and notes how KKBE has changed over the years. Max married Marcelle Kleinzahler and they raised three children in Charleston. Both interviewees discuss Jewish identity - Max, in terms of how he believes his children view themselves, and Dale, in terms of his relationship to his ancestors. Dale tells the story of his great-great-grandparents fleeing Atlanta during the Civil War in anticipation of General Sherman's arrival with Union troops. Other family surnames mentioned in the interview include Brown, Sorentrue, Foote, Ritzwoller, and Dreyfoos. For related information, see also Marcelle Furchgott's May 14, 2014 interview, Robert Furchgott's February 28, 2001 and April 18, 2001 interviews, the Arthur C. Furchgott papers (Mss 1043), and Furchgott and Brothers department store newspaper advertisement, 1910 (Mss 1034-090), Special Collections, Addlestone Library, College of Charleston.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Melvin Jacobs and Rose Wexler Jacobs
Melvin Jacobs and Rose Wexler Jacobs, audio interview by Michael Samuel Grossman, 7 March 1997, Mss 1035-139, Special Collections, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC, USA., Melvin Jacobs, born in 1909 in Charleston, South Carolina, discusses his family history. His maternal grandparents, Rebecca Tobish and Louis Charles Pearlstine, settled in Branchville, South Carolina, where they ran a dry goods store. Louis emigrated with Melvin's paternal grandfather, Isaac Jacobs (Karesh) from Trzcianne, Russia, circa 1852. Melvin's father, Louis Jacobs, an observant Orthodox Jew, ran a shoe store in Charleston on King Street. Under mounting financial pressure, Louis began opening his store on the Sabbath, a decision that created tension between him and his father, Isaac. Melvin talks about his siblings and his aunts and uncles, specifically his uncle Dr. Kivy Pearlstine, who practiced in Charleston. Melvin married Rose Wexler of Savannah, who joined him in this interview. They recall their courtship and wedding, and Rose touches on the issue of how women dressed for synagogue services in the past and at the time of the interview. Note: for several related collections, search for "Pearlstine" in Special Collections, Addlestone Library, College of Charleston. The Jacobses recorded a second interview in 1998 (Mss. 1035-172).
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Melvin Jacobs and Rose Wexler Jacobs
Melvin Jacobs and Rose Wexler Jacobs, audio interview by Sandra Lee Kahn Rosenblum and Ruth Bass Jacobs, 14 January 1998, Mss 1035-172, Special Collections, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC, USA., Melvin Jacobs reminisces about growing up in Charleston, South Carolina, where his father, Louis Jacobs, ran a shoe store on King Street. The Jacobs family attended the Orthodox synagogue Brith Sholom and observed Shabbos, although around 1913 Louis began opening his shop on Saturdays. Melvin was drafted into the marines at age thirty-four; he served in the supply corps, stateside, from 1943–45. In 1947 he married Rose Wexler of Savannah, the daughter of Romanian immigrants. They raised four children in Charleston. Melvin, who joined Louis in the family business, describes how his father made the switch from selling shoes to selling hosiery. The couple discusses the schism at Brith Sholom that produced the Conservative congregation, Emanu-El; the merger of the two Orthodox synagogues, Brith Sholom and Beth Israel; and their involvement in the establishment of the Jewish day school, Charleston Hebrew Institute. Note: this is the second of two interviews; the first was in 1997 (Mss. 1035-139). For several related collections, search for "Pearlstine" in Special Collections, Addlestone Library, College of Charleston.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Robert Furchgott
In a follow-up to his first interview on February 28, 2001 (Mss. 1035-252), Robert Furchgott resumes discussion of his family's moves from the time they left North Carolina for Florence, South Carolina, where Robert's father, Arthur, ran a women's clothing store, until the late 1930s, when the Furchgotts moved back to Charleston. Robert recalls his experiences at Orangeburg High School, University of South Carolina, and University of North Carolina (UNC). Pursuing a passion he had had since he was a child, he earned a degree in chemistry from UNC in 1937 and, three years later, a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Northwestern University in Chicago. He attended the Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology as a graduate student and notes a number of important connections he made there in the field of biochemistry. In 1940 Robert launched his career as a research scientist in the laboratory at Cornell University Medical College in New York, moving on to the pharmacology department at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis nine years later. He provides a summary of the research for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1998. It began at Cornell while studying circulatory shock, and progressed, ultimately, to identifying nitric oxide as the endothelium-derived relaxing factor in blood vessels. He describes how accidental findings played a role in his discoveries. While efforts to develop a drug for angina based on Robert's research failed, the medication sildenafil citrate was found to be useful in treating erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Robert describes his visit, accompanied by family and friends, to Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize. Robert married Lenore Mandelbaum of New York in 1941, and they raised three daughters. After Lenore's death in 1983, Robert married family friend Maggie Roth. For related information, see also Marcelle Furchgott's May 14, 2014 interview, Max Furchgott's July 14, 1995 interview, the Arthur C. Furchgott papers (Mss 1043), and Furchgott and Brothers department store newspaper advertisement, 1910 (Mss 1034-090), Special Collections, Addlestone Library, College of Charleston.
Jewish Heritage Collection: Oral history interview with Robert Furchgott
Robert Francis Furchgott, born in 1916 in Charleston, South Carolina, the second of three sons of Philapena Sorentrue and Arthur Furchgott, talks about growing up in downtown Charleston. The Furchgotts lived below Broad Street and were members of Reform temple Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim. It wasn't until Robert joined Boy Scout Troop 21, the Jewish troop, that he met and made friends with Orthodox Jewish boys from uptown. In regard to the organization of the Scouts, he observes that "in Charleston it seemed to be by churches." Summer classes and field trips sponsored by the Charleston Museum that sparked Robert's interest in nature stand out in his memory as among his most gratifying early experiences. He estimates that when his family moved inland about seventy-five miles to Philapena's hometown of Orangeburg in the summer of 1929, there were about five Jewish families living there. Services and the Sunday school were run by lay leaders, with the guidance of a rabbi who visited once a month. Furchgott recalls that Orangeburg's Christians and Jews mixed socially and there was just one Boy Scout troop for the small city. After struggling financially in Orangeburg for a year, the Furchgotts moved to Goldsboro, North Carolina. A year later they moved again, this time to Florence, South Carolina. Robert discusses his family history, in particular, his paternal grandfather, Max Furchgott, who came to Charleston circa 1865, and his maternal great-grandfather, Simon Brown, who settled in Blackville, South Carolina, around 1849. See Mss. 1035-256 for a follow-up to this interview. For related information, see also Marcelle Furchgott's May 14, 2014 interview, Max Furchgott's July 14, 1995 interview, the Arthur C. Furchgott papers (Mss 1043), and Furchgott and Brothers department store newspaper advertisement, 1910 (Mss 1034-090), Special Collections, Addlestone Library, College of Charleston.

Oceanside Turkey Trot 10k
The start of the 10k was 6:45 so I left the condo at about 6 and walked over. It was a little chilly but as long as I was moving I was ok. I had forgotten my water holder belt, so I decided to just go with water available on the course and drank a water bottle on the way and while waiting for the start.
It only took a few minutes to get there and find the race bib pick up. The only downside to the process was that even though they had plenty of volunteers, it looked like everyone who had pre-registered had numbers in the same range so there was only 1 volunteer that could help everyone which caused a line. Not a big problem for me because I was early enough so I got my number pinned to my singlet and walked around the start area where I found my friend Rich and said hi. Rich is easy to spot, just look for the guy with a bunch of cameras.
The first mile was 9:11 and I was feeling good so I just kept going and didn't try to slow down. Actually I ended up speeding up and passed the second mile in 8:33 which ended up being my fastest mile. That could have hurt me, but I don't think it did since my slowest mile was the first and the next slowest was the last full mile at 9 flat.
It was great at about the 3.5 mile mark to see my favorite cheerleader. I stopped for a quick kiss from Christine and then kept going. Mentally the last 2 miles were tough, but other than the short ramp up to the pier, it was dead flat or downhill so it was just a mind game to keep my legs moving.

Play Food - How To Make Felt Toaster Pastries
As part of my weekly installment on how to make faux food (felt foodie items) for your little one to play with, here is how I made my felt toaster pastries aka PopTarts.
Supplies Needed:
Light Tan, Pink and Vanilla Colored Craft Felt
Light Tan, Vanilla and Pink embroidery floss
Blunt Tip Sewing Needle and Scissors
Tiny Pink Seed Beads (I used pink ones with silver centers)
Pinking Sheers (optional)
Pattern: On printer paper, draw a rectangle that measures 3 1/2" wide by 4 3/4" tall. Draw a second rectangle (icing) that measures 2 3/4" wide by 3 3/4" tall.
Cutting The Felt: For each toaster pastry, you will need two of the large rectangles cut from tan colored felt. Decide if you want your pastry to have pink or vanilla icing and cut one from the coordinating felt color.
Assembly: Using two strands of pink embroidery floss, hand sew tiny pink seed beads onto your smaller piece of felt to represent strawberry sprinkles. Once you have completed that, use two strands of embroidery floss (same color as your icing) to hand sew on your icing felt to one of your tan felt pieces. I used a tiny whip stitch to do this on the pink one and a blanket stitch on the vanilla one. (either stitch will work just fine).
Once you have that completed, lay your two pieces of tan felt together, lining up their edges and blanket stitch around the entire pastry using two strands of tan embroidery floss.
Optional: If desired, you can use pinking sheers to cut out your icing felt to give the edges a zig-zag appearance.
You can find the rest of my felt foodie patterns ---> HERE I will be posting many more to my blog during the next few weeks so please follow my blog or bookmark it so you can find them.
Happy Crafting,

Ninety-Two: Vampiress Fatale
Contains violence, disturbing dialogue of a sexual nature. You've been warned.
As for the custom poses used, I will list the credits/links to those in next week's chapter.
Kat took Tristan and lifted him into the air. He laughed, flailed his arms and kicked his legs.
His brother had already been put to bed.
Since the boys were still hanging onto furniture to walk, Kat figured it was time to teach them to walk on their own.
Tristan was the first guinea piglet. Tomorrow, Justin would be the next victim.
Gradually she let go of his little hands. By the look in his eyes, Tristan knew something wasn't quite right.
He stood a moment, eying her.
Wow, time goes by, she thought. One minute they're the size of large potatoes, now they're… walking.
He plopped down.
Kat grinned; shook her head.
Minutes later she laid Tristan in his crib. Justin was still wide awake, rocking back and forth babbling.
She sneaked away, knowing both her sons' glaring red eyes were on her.
Please don't cry, boys. Please don't cry.
"Mommy," one of them said. Kat quietly exited the room.
She saw a toy lying near the den. As she picked it up, Kat noticed something flickering in her peripheral vision.
Why is the fireplace lit? I didn't do it.
Shivering, she rushed to the toy box and threw in the boat.
Around that time she also saw the gaping front door.
Holy… shit.
"Who's in the house…?"
She started for the den.
Heart pounding, Kat gaped at the flame inside the hearth. She could not tear her eyes away.
Call Hunter. Call Dad. Call 911. Call SOMEBODY, YOU FUCKING IDIOT. What is wrong with you. Why are you just standing here staring at nothing?
You have children in the next room! Stop staring at yourself like a moron! You fucking idiot! Snap out of it!
An image in the mirror made her snap out of it.
"Hunter doesn't want me."
"Hunter used me. You're the one he really wants. He told me so."
Kat spun around. "Get out of my house!"
She scowled.
"As I was saying, you bitch, Hunter used me, he never loved me, he just used me. All male vampires know how to do is use females, use them up until they're finished getting what they want. They fuck you, and fuck you, tear you up inside until you're pregnant with their evil spawn; then they're done. That's what Hunter did to me."
Kat's eyes widened.
"Oh? Does that shock you? Yeah, male vampires love to fuck the female vampires. Why? Because they know they can cum inside us as many times as they want… if we get knocked up, we miscarry. They don't give a shit." She laughed. "It's a win-win situation for them." A tear surfaced but she slapped it away.
"Stop it! I don't want to hear anymore!" Kat said.
"Why? Because it's the truth?" She took a step forward.
"No. Don't come near me."
She didn't listen. Kat's mind went blank, except that she knew she was going to die.
The Dempire casually strolled forward, wrapped her fingers around Kat's neck and lifted her up. Effortlessly.
Kat's feet dangled close to the fire, but the heat around her neck was much more intense.
"Now he wants you back, you bitch. I won't let him have you!"
Kat struggled until the fire inside her lungs gave way to blackness. Intermittently she came to. Snapshots played of the fierce Barbie with the golden eyes, long fingers, red nails scraping across her neck as if tenderizing her flesh.
"No. You can't have him. I won't let you, pretty one, with the pretty neck."
A sharp, tearing sensation ripped apart her throat. Incredible pressure as lips suckled out everything inside her. More pain as she slumped to the floor.
Then more darkness.
*Hunter's POV*
Night turned to dawn.
Somewhere around 5:30 a.m. Hunter tried to call.
There was no answer. He knew something was wrong. Alexis, his ex-girlfriend, had all but confessed doing something to her. She'd bragged about it over the phone, saying something about 'giving Kat what she deserved, and paying back Hunter at the same time.'
It was getting late. The sun would be up soon, but he had to take that chance. He had to try to beat the sunrise to get to Kat, make sure she was okay.
Hunter's skin stung from the sun as he steered the car through Shadowvale, and tore into the yard of his prior home.
He bolted from the sports car. Ignoring the singing heat and his sizzling arms, he raced into the house.
He frantically looked around for signs of Kat.
Christ. Where is she?
Then he observed the lit fireplace and smelled blood. Hunter headed for the den.
"Kat," he said.
"No. Oh, no…" Jesus, she looks dead.
He pulled the cellular from his pocket and tapped 911, trying his best to keep it together.
Afterward, he knelt down next to her.
Held her. Blood seeped onto his fingers.
"God. Please be okay. Please, baby. I can't lose you. I can't live without you… I love you so much…."
Finally, he felt brave enough to palpate her neck for a pulse. Better to find out now than to find out later, he thought.
Sirens cried in the distance, along with two baby boys.
Hunter couldn't leave with Kat. He stayed with the boys until sunset. Then Aubrey took over. A little later she took the boys to the Haas manor.
Kat's mother was hysterical when she first arrived. Hunter had to comfort her before leaving to see Kat. Then Vaclav called. Hunter could tell by the sound of his voice that he was holding back his anger. Hunter knew Vaclav blamed him for Kat's fatalistic injuries, and Hunter understood why.
Kat had to have a blood transfusion. She'd lost almost enough to kill her, and was still very weak.
All Hunter could focus on now was his seething anger.
I'm going to fucking kill that bitch Alexis. I swear to God.

11:24 pm EST 46°F (8°C) in South Rockwood, MI
Calendar of Updates | | Blogroll
Yes, you're reading that temperature correctly. The last three days here have been exceedingly warm for early January, even to record levels yesterday as the mercury reached 63°F (17°C). I was out in short sleeves much of yesterday, as I took my car in to get some work done and did a little bit of shopping. It will cool off quite a bit in the latter part of this week, though at least the next two days are forecast to be warmer than normal with highs in the low 40s Fahrenheit (around 5°C).
In my last update, I said I would be back seeking advice on a dilemma that has been troubling me for the last couple of weeks. It's nothing hugely serious, but it's a situation in which I'm not quite sure how I best ought to proceed. It involves another man who lives in my apartment complex to whom I find myself quite attracted, and how I should go about handling it.
I'm going to call this man "Bryan," although that is not his real name — nor is it even close. I first met him a few months ago, after one night where he had (apparently) inadvertently parked in my assigned carport here. As I usually do with people who steal my carport, I assumed good faith (that is, others not knowing that the space is paid for and assigned) and left him a polite note to that effect, asking him to avoid parking in my space again. I happened to see "Bryan" the following night, as I pulled in from work; he was sitting in his car for whatever reason, so I went over and talked to him for a minute. We introduced ourselves, and after that, he apologized for taking my spot the night before; I told him not to worry about it, that it wasn't a big deal.
As you might have guessed, it was upon this first meeting that I was first struck by how hot "Bryan" is. If you really must know, he bears something of a resemblance to British porn star Darian Hawke (note: that link is safe for work or anywhere else), though Hawke is a bit taller, thinner, and more "gruff" looking than "Bryan." I wouldn't get a chance to "see" him again, in the sense of making eye contact, for quite some time, but after this initial meeting, I did manage to figure out which apartment unit he lives in by seeing him inside it through open window blinds — in other words, it wasn't that hard to figure out.
I would later come to find out "Bryan's" full first and last name, though I won't say how that happened here in order to prevent any kind of possible trouble; let it suffice to say it was another case of "couldn't miss it even if I tried." From there, a simple Google search of the first and last name (and who hasn't done that to themselves or somebody else before?) returned a profile that pretty clearly belonged to "Bryan" on a hobbyist web site. I won't say how much I know, but that profile did reveal quite a bit of information about him; I will only let it be known that he listed himself as single and in his 30s.
Obviously, "Bryan" has no idea that I know as much about him as I do. I don't think he even knows that I know which apartment unit he lives in, as I don't think he's ever really been looking outside at me when I've seen him inside. The only thing it can be safely assumed that he knows I know about him is which car is his, and where he parks it.
I would like to get a chance to talk to "Bryan" again, however that happens. I see a few possibilities for this: (1) I could leave a note on his car again, this time inviting him to have something of a "get to know you" type of conversation. (2) I could pretend to know only about his car, and ask the complex office to forward a note (sealed in an envelope, of course) to "the guy who has the carport next to mine." (3) I could hold some kind of social event for complex residents in my unit, and hope he shows up; though I would be leery of a specific, targeted invitation to him, as that could come off kind of stalker-ish. (4) I could leave things entirely to chance and just wait until the next time I see him in or near his car, although for all I know, that could never happen again — we went two-plus months from the night in the carport until our next mutual eye contact.
I feel like once I can get him into a conversation, obviously waiting until after we've covered some of the basics like jobs, interests, etc., I can pretty well handle telling him that I have a strong physical attraction to him. I should mention that at present, I have absolutely no clue as to whether "Bryan" is straight, bisexual, gay, or prefers barnyard animals , though simple demographic statistics would suggest he has a 95% chance of being straight. (I usually go with a figure of about 5% of society being gay; Kinsey's 10% figure is known to be high, but so-called "fundamentalist 'Christians'" who claim less than 2% are lying, too. Why not split the difference, I figure.)
I will also say that from our roughly one-minute chat in the carport a while back, he didn't really get my "gay-dar" pinging, so to speak. Of course, that tiny of an amount of time spent around somebody is woefully insufficient to really get a good gay-dar reading, one way or the other, I think. But in any event, I feel like I can handle the actual conversation pretty well, and I have various strategic outlines plotted out to cover most of his possible responses to my statements of attraction to him.
Where I am running into trouble, though, is figuring out how to get to this planned conversation with "Bryan" in the first place — how to communicate to him, in the right way, that I am interested in such a conversation. The last thing I want to do is come off like I'm stalking him, as there are possible legal repercussions for that; some might say I've already been "stalking" him, but last I checked, a simple Google search and seeing things I can't help but see anyway don't fit that definition.
One friend whose advice I've already sought suggested that option (2) from two paragraphs above would appear "too high-schoolish," and I can't say I would entirely disagree. I fear that option (1) comes off too stalker-ish, and I've already covered my feeling about option (3). All of that considered, though, option (4) leaves it entirely too much to chance for my liking, and isn't exactly on the kind of time frame I would particularly prefer — that could be six months from now, or never, for all I know.
So, with all the background story finally told, I bring my dilemma to you, my loyal readers. What would you do in my situation? Do you see any other options besides (1) through (4) that I laid out a few paragraphs back? If not, which of those is the most optimal one, and which will avoid any kind of lingering hard feelings or resentment? (Not that kind of "hard" feelings, you perverts — get your minds out of the gutter. Remember, I'm pure and innocent. ) I look forward to receiving your advice, via e-mail through this site or comments left on the mirrored version at LiveJournal.
I have to leave you for tonight, loyal readers, but never fear, for I'll be back at my first reasonable opportunity with another edition of "open the mailbag." The Christofascist terrorists are back at it again, suggesting that I'm somehow "confused," "not happy about the way your [sic] being treated by your 'lifestyle'," and "degrad[ing myself]," so I'll be exposing those total falsehoods and putting them to rest with my next update. Until then, rest easy with the knowledge that the message I received just further proves that it is actually "fundamentalist 'Christians'" who are so disgusted with their lifestyle that they lash out at others.

I have started working for Summit VA Solutions a couple years ago and I was fortunate enough to have
experienced firsthand and learned the different sides of what goes on in the company. First, working
within the company, and then on to have my own client – after 3 tries! ;). I have come to understand a
few of the values that Summit is trying to pass on.
Do your job and be the best at it!
What is great about this is, Summit VAS does not simply take you in and send you off to a client empty
handed. The training is a part of the package and is a big part of the work that will be handed to you. On
a personal standpoint, It requires your discipline and self-reliance. When with a client, the pace is a lot
faster, problems are more complex and solutions may sometimes come from unlikely places. But at the
end of the day, reaping the benefits of your hard work will be truly rewarding.
I rely on Summit VA Solutions for the better judgment and Integrity that is established to provide great
service to both VAs and clients. Luck may come into play for some who hits it off right away with their
clients. But for the things we can control, it will all come down to your willingness to explore your own
potential while sharpening your existing skill set.
Losing a client may be a hard thing to take in especially if you have done your best. However, honesty to
oneself is really important to understand and learn from in these circumstances. Pointing out the
problem and knowing where it went wrong will help you as a VA and the client as well. The client
already knows that he can be more productive when he hired you. They were provided with very
capable VAs and it is our responsibility to help make his work more efficient and most effective.
So they have to understand that: We do what we do because we are great at it!
"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."
– Colin Powell

Strategic Human Capital
The Strategic Human Capital Interest Group promotes research addressing the role of human capital in firm performance. Scholarship that is interdisciplinary and/or considers human capital at multiple levels of analysis is especially welcomed. Examples of the types of questions included in this conceptual space are the following:
- How can firms purposefully create valuable firm-level human capital heterogeneity?
- What are the mechanisms that link human capital to firm-level outcomes?
- How do firms best manage the value appropriation challenges presented by "star" employees?
- To what extent can firms gain competitive advantage through "people?"
- Why and how do competitive interactions within labor markets (e.g., talent poaching) differ from competitive interactions in other strategic factor markets?
- How do management practices that enhance the strategic value of human capital diffuse?
- What factors explain differences in human capital productivity within industries?
- How does human capital emerge and interact with other forms of intellectual capital (e.g., social capital, organizational capital) to influence firm-level outcomes?
