Like other vendors of smart sex toys, the makers of We-Vibe couples' toys have recently faced concern over collection of customers' intimate data via the company's connected vibrators. Following a customer lawsuit, the Canadian start-up now must also pay the price of having users feel their privacy's been invaded.
Standard Innovation, which produces the We-Vibe line of vibrators, has reportedly agreed to pay out close to $3 million as part of a settlement agreement with customers. As the Chicago Tribune reports, the proposed settlement would establish the multimillion-dollar pot for device owners who'd downloaded the control app, We-Connect, and used it with their toy—or up to $10,000 each. The company agreed to set aside another $750,000 for those who'd bought toys but never messed with the app, or a possible $199 each.
Under the settlement, which awaits court approval, the firm also agreed to cease collecting personal user information and email addresses from device users, and to destroy related data it's collected to date. It further stipulates that Standard Innovation will inform users about any anonymized data collection in the future, and allow them to opt out.

In December, the We-Vibe Marketing Communication Manager Denny Alexander commented on the industry's ongoing attempts to make sex-toy data work for everyone (including privacy advocates). During a company launch event at New York's Museum of Sex, he told me that, beyond being needed for the We-Connect app to function, some anonymized data from users goes a long way in helping toy designers hit the mark.

Let me say that again.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog pointed me to a blog from a fellow named Dennis Stevense, where he says that not only is Safari 3.1 safer, not only is it faster, but Apple has dropped a new variable that allows you to open _blank tags in a new tab.
You know the ones; when you hover over the link, it says "open FOO in new window". And so you either wind up with a dozen windows open, or you right click and say "open link in new tab" because I don't want a frigging new window, thank you very much.
Anyway he posted the secret sauce over on his blog. I'd share it with you, but I haven't figured out how to copy and paste into blogger yet ( I can copy, but when I paste, it doesn't show up in the story, it shows up in a box below the story.
What's up with that?)
So go over there and make Safari even better.

Jamba Juice
Early morning on a bright day in mid-January 2009, James D. White, CEO of Jamba Juice, was driving down highway 580 headed to Jamba Juice's Emeryville, California, headquarters. Unfortunately, today, White could not enjoy the scenic route of rolling hills which were green this time of year and palm trees swaying in the background. His mind was preoccupied with the upcoming meeting with the board of directors in which he would present his vision for the future. Although he was excited about Jamba Juice's growth potential as the leader in the smoothie and fresh juice bar industry (Exhibit 1), his plan would require that the company embark into uncharted territory. White was hired during a time of extreme crisis for the company. Starting in 2007, Jamba Juice lost $23.9M in operating income on $317.2M in revenue (Exhibit 2). Operating performance in 2008 was even worse as weakening of the overall economy coupled with the rapid expansion of company stores translated to a net income loss of $149.2M on revenues of $342.9M. When the former CEO Paul Clayton and CFO Donald Breen left the company in 2008, three boards of directors moved in to run the day-to-day operations. Chairman of the Board, Steven Berrard took over as interim CEO and controller Karen Luey became interim CFO. In September 2008, Jamba Juice was entering its slow season, running out of cash, and suffering from operating losses. Fortuitously, one business day before Lehmann Brothers collapsed, Berrard secured a $25.0M two year bridge loan. The timing was perfect. The Lehmann Brothers' bankruptcy sent shockwaves throughout the global economy precipitating a freeze in credit markets and closing the availability of debt to small companies like Jamba Juice for the next few years. Barely averting a near collapse of the business, the board of directors initiated an executive search to find a new CEO for Jamba Juice who possessed the ability to turnaround the failing business. James White was chosen to lead the effort and believed the company had a bright future. White listened to and observed the internal challenges at Jamba Juice and developed a list of strategic choices that would need to be approved and sequenced. As he approached Jamba Juice headquarters, he wondered which strategic options were most viable given the strong culture of the company and its current operating capabilities. Would the board approve the new measures? How should he handle resistance within the company to the new ideas? What to Do? As White parked his car, he reflected on his first day on the job a few months ago. Emotions were high and the uncertainty for employees dampened morale. He remembered standing up, sharing his leadership values and level-setting expectations. After his speech, he received a warm reception from employees, but their requests were that White save the company, preserve the values, and protect the mission. As James walked into the board meeting with a proposal in hand, he hoped to honor his commitment to them. The changes he proposed would require the company to develop new competencies and shift priorities in the wake of strong macroeconomic headwinds. If the plan worked well, he would undoubtedly keep his promise. This was not his first meeting with the board, but it was the most paramount up until this point. White needed to decide on a cohesive and achievable plan. Given the changes he would propose, he knew he needed help from the board? What should he ask for? How would they respond?

Whenever hiring a freelance writer or perhaps editor, it's crucial that both you and the freelancer have the right expectations. Are you currently definite you understand exactly what it is you need assistance with? Editing, proofreading and copyediting are frequently assumed is the same aspect – but they're not. Do you need someone to increase the style along with flow of the writing, or might you simply need a person to be sure that your commas are located in the right places? In publishing, it's traditionally defined that the file that's been edited will certainly still need to be proofed.
Any editor is frequently employed for his or her individual style or knowledge in a particular area of interest, but when you're trying to find a person to go through a text having a fine-tooth comb, you have to find a proofreader or copyeditor.

Now, lets just take a moment to get LOST in all that handsomeness……
Back with me? Okay, good – here we go!!!! Unexpected Protector is the second book in the Isthmus Alliance Series! The release date is fast approaching and scheduled for September 26th!!!!
I want to remind you of the first book in this series, that BLEW ME AWAY – Unexpected Angel!!! You can read my review of it HERE!!!
Next we have the books synopsis:
Everyone makes mistakes in life. Unfortunately, Holly Richards has become an expert at taking the wrong path in life. This time, she may have gone so far that she has alienated the one person who has always been there for her. Will she be able to make the right decision for once in her life?
Tommy Reed's world shifted the night he found Holly Richards lying in a pool of blood on the ground. For reasons he can't explain, he feels the need to protect Holly from her own past. In the process, he's hoping to also teach her that there is more to D/s than releasing pent-up emotions.
Life isn't easy for the former-junkie and the cop. Some of those closest to Tommy are less than thrilled with his devotion to Holly. Those who pressured Holly into her former life are worried she'll share what she knows. Is there any way for both of them to come away from the situation unscathed?
At the end of the first book, I was absolutely bouncing in my seat in anticipation of this book and I CAN NOT WAIT to get my hands on it. I will probably read it in a day because SLOAN JOHNSON is such an enthralling writer! Let me give you more of an example by sharing a quick excerpt from the book and Tommy's point of view.
I don't know why I'm here. I walk into her room with a cup of coffee and a bagel every day and sit with her until late at night. The nurses think I'm the compassionate boyfriend, not willing to leave her side. The truth is, I'm no one to her.
"Holly, I don't know if you can hear me," I whisper in her ear, wrapping my hand around her fingers. "You need to wake up. Tasha's starting to think you're slipping away but I told her she's wrong."
There's no response. There hasn't been for the past two weeks and I'm starting to worry there never will be. The first ten days, they kept her in a medically-induced coma so she wouldn't suffer from the drug withdrawal. They started easing her off the medication a few days ago and she should be awake by now. The doctors are now classifying her as being in a "vegetative state" because she's breathing on her own. If only she would give us some sign that she's still in there…
I reach for bottle of lotion beside the bed. Every day, I massage her hands and arms, hoping that my touch will cause her to open her eyes and say something. My fingers trace the outline of every flower inked from just below her elbow up to her shoulder. Her half-sleeve gives her a hard exterior from a distance, but upon closer inspection, the tattoos form a magnificently detailed garden on her pale skin.
As I take her hand in mine, preparing to work the lotion into her fingers, I feel her jerk away from me. Startled, I look to the head of the bed and see her eyes open, staring at me.
"Hey, sleepy," I say, my throat dry and raspy from the recycled air in the hospital. "You had us scared for a while."

Imagine going to your favorite restaurant only to discover the chef has called in sick and all you can get is leftovers. Disappointed, you go back the next week and the same thing happens. Still, the place is so extraordinary, you give it one more chance. More leftovers.
Should it be surprising that when the kitchen finally returns to normal, business has slipped dramatically?
Still, the old crowd gradually drifts back for the sterling menu, only to be turned away again when the restaurant is shut down for an extended period. This is a great way to kill a fine restaurant. It's also a good way to undermine a superb TV series, which is what ABC is doing to NYPD Blue.
After a January dominated by reruns, NYPD Blue had a new show for the first Tuesday of the February sweeps last week.
Who knew? Ratings were the lowest for an original episode this season.
The remaining three shows during the ratings month will be new, too, so pass the word -- quickly. ABC is pulling NYPD Blue off the air for four weeks in March. Granted, there are only 22 originals to stretch over eight months, but there has to be a better way.
Episodes like tonight's (at 10 p.m. on WPLG-Ch. 10 and WPBF-Ch. 25) make the absences tougher to take. It is busy, kinky and raw, with three fully fleshed-out storylines, each of which has an unpredictable twist. Two old friends return, and another departs.
Bill Brochtrup reprises his recurring role as police aide John Irvin, and Daniel Benzali is back as smug, bombastic attorney James Sinclair. Normally a mob mouthpiece, Sinclair is representing a social lion implicated in the drug-related homicide of a weekend rent-a-date.
NYPD Blue can take one small consolation in the way it is being treated by ABC: It isn't personal. The network doesn't seem to respect dramas, period. Consider the shabby handling of three well-received newcomers this season. Cupid drew almost universal positive notices. Fantasy Island was a creative update of a cloying formula. Vengeance Unlimited featured a compelling lead, Michael Madsen.

On a modulo p representation of pro-p Iwahori-Hecke algebraNoriyuki Abe, Hokkaido University, JapanFor a split reductive p-adic group and its pro-p Iwahori subgroup, one can define its Hecke algebra, called pro-p Iwahori-Hecke algebra. We will discuss modules of this algebra over characteristic p field.
« Back...
Iwahori-Hecke model for supersingular representations of GL(2,Q_p)U. K. Anandavardhanan, Indian Institute Of Technology, IndiaIn this talk, we first describe a regular supersingular representation of GL(2,Q_p) as a quotient of a representation induced from the Iwahori subgroup of GL(2,Q_p). This setting provides a natural way to realize all the self-extensions of a supersingular representation that admit a four dimensional space of invariants under the pro-p-Iwahori subgroup. We also investigate the structure of invariants under the principal congruence subgroups and give an alternative proof of a recent result of S. Morra. This work is joint with Gautam H. Borisagar.
Modules of constant Jordan type for elementary abelian p-groupsShawn Baland, Bielefeld University, GermanyLet E be an elementary abelian p-group of rank r and k an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. In this talk we discuss kE-modules of constant Jordan type, which were defined by Carlson, Friedlander and Pevtsova. In particular, we focus on a construction of Benson and Pevtsova that gives a relationship between kE-modules of constant Jordan type and algebraic vector bundles on projective (r-1)-space. This will allow us to use the theory of Chern classes to place some restrictions on such modules. We close with a discussion of the limitations of our technique and avenues of future investigation.
Lie powers of group modules and the Lie module for the symmetric groupRoger Bryant, University of Manchester, UKIf V is a module for a group G over a field F then the homogeneous components of the free Lie algebra over F freely generated by (a basis of) V are also modules for G over F, called the Lie powers of V (by analogy with the tensor powers of V). I shall survey some of the results on the structure of these Lie powers with emphasis on the case where F is a field of prime characteristic p. The case where G is the general linear group on V is of particular interest and this is linked with the study of the Lie module Lie(r) for the symmetric group of degree r.
Global/local conjectures in the representation theory of finite groupsMarc Cabanes, Université Denis Diderot - Paris 7, FranceAn underlying idea of the so-called global/local conjectures - notably the conjectures from Alperin, Brauer and McKay - is that certain aspects of the representation theory of a finite group should be determined "locally", that is, by the representation theory of normalisers of certain p-subgroups. Much of the recent work in the representation theory of finite groups is centered around theorems reducing those conjectures to the checking of (usually stronger) ad hoc statements on quasi-simple groups. The classification of finite (quasi-)simple groups is then used. I will report on the reduction theorems and the cases already checked.
Brauer algebras associated to non-exceptional complex reflection groupsAnton Cox, City University London, UKThis talk will describe how to associate a Brauer-type algebra to a complex group of type G(n,p,m). We will review the classical Brauer algebra theory, and the construction of unoriented cyclotomic Brauer algebras (which corresponds to G(m,1,n)). We will also explain how the decomposition numbers in the general case can be deduced from those in the cyclotomic case by a combination of explicit diagram algebra combinatorics and Clifford theory.
Twisted category algebras and quasi-hereditySusanne Danz, University of Kaiserslautern, GermanyIn this talk we shall consider twisted category algebras over fields of characteristic 0. The underlying category will always be finite and will have an additional property, which is called 'split'. The multiplication in such an algebra is essentially induced by the composition of morphisms in the category. Prominent examples of twisted category algebras are various classes of diagram algebras (for suitable parameters) such as Brauer algebras, Temperley--Lieb algebras, or partition algebras. Twisted category algebras also arise in connection with double Burnside rings and biset functors.
We shall show that a twisted split category algebra in characteristic 0 is quasi-hereditary, that is, the corresponding module category is a highest weight category. Moreover, we shall give an explicit description of its standard modules with respect to a particular partial order on the set of isomorphism classes of simple modules. This provides, in particular, a unified proof of the known fact that the aforementioned diagram algebras are quasi-hereditary.
This is joint work with Robert Boltje.
On local Langlands correspondence for mod l representationsJean-Francois Dat, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu, FranceVigneras has established a bijection between irreps (mod l) of a p-adic GL_n and (mod l) Weil-Deligne representations of dimension n. Despite its similarity with the usual l-adic correspondence, this one has a different nature since the "Deligne part" does not seem to have an arithmetic origin. We will explain a geometric interpretation of this Deligne part inspired by Arthur's "second SL_2 factor".
A derived local Langlands correspondence for GL_nDavid Helm, University of Texas at Austin, USAWe describe joint work (with David Ben-Zvi and David Nadler) that constructs an equivalence between the derived category of smooth representations of GL_n(Q_p) and a certain category of coherent sheaves on the moduli stack of Langlands parameters for GL_n. The proof of this equivalence is essentially a reinterpretation of K-theoretic results of Kazhdan and Lusztig via derived algebraic geometry. We will also discuss (conjectural) extensions of this work to other quasi-split groups, and to the modular representation theory of GL_n.
The Breuil-Mézard conjecture for non-scalar split residual representationsYongquan Hu, Institut de Recherche Mathématiques de Rennes, FranceFollowing the approach of Paskunas, we prove the Breuil-Mézard conjecture for split (non-scalar) residual representations of the absolute Galois group of Qp (when p>3). Combined with the cases previously proved by Kisin and by Paskunas, this completes the proof of the conjecture. This is a joint work with Fucheng Tan.
On Donovan's conjectureRadha Kessar, City University London, UKMany questions in the modular representation theory of finite groups revolve around the extent to which the structure of the p-modular algebra of a finite group G is controlled by the G-poset of p-subgroups of G. The Donovan conjecture asserts that there only are finitely many Morita equivalence classes of blocks of modular group algebras with a given defect. In my talk, I will give an introduction to the conjecture and report on recent joint work with C. Eaton, B. Kulshammer and B. Sambale.
Supercuspidal representations of U(2,1)Karol Koziol, Columbia University, USAClassifying the mod-p supercuspidal representations of a connected, reductive, p-adic group is an important question in the context of the mod-p Langlands program, and has only been achieved in the case of GL_2(Q_p). In this talk, we will show how to construct mod-p supercuspidal representations of the unramified unitary group U(2,1) in three variables by adapting a method of Paskunas. We will also mention some complications that arise with this method. This work is joint with P. Xu.
l-modular representations of classical p-adic groups (p not equal to l)Robert Kurinczuk, University of East Anglia, UKThe l-modular representation theory of classical p-adic groups has striking differences to the relatively well known complex theory. We will examine the situation in detail for unramified p-adic U(2,1), where many interesting phenomena already appear, and remark on current work (joint with Shaun Stevens) to extend these results to all classical p-adic groups (p not equal to 2).
On simple modules over twisted category algebrasMarkus Linckelmann, City University London, UKWe show that Alperin's weight conjecture admits a formulation for twisted category algebras. The main ingredient is joint work with Michal Stolorz, where we give a description of a parametrisation of the isomorphism classes of simple modules over twisted category algebras. For semigroup algebras, this parametrisation goes back to work of Clifford, Munn, and Ponizovskii; a recent proof, due to Ganyushkin, Mazorcuk, and Steinberg in terms of Schur functors and Green relations in semigroups has been a key ingredient for the extension of this parametrisation to category algebras.
Graded homomorphisms between Specht modules for KLR algebras of type ASinéad Lyle, University of East Anglia, UKThe Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras, or cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras, are certain Z-graded algebras which depend on an oriented quiver. Remarkably, it has been shown by Brundan and Kleshchev that the cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras of type A are isomorphic to the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type G(r,1,n), also known as the Ariki-Koike algebras. These algebras include as special cases the Hecke algebras of type A and type B and hence also the symmetric group algebra. Thus one application of Brundan and Kleshchev's result is that it defines a Z-grading on the symmetric group algebra. A further result of Brundan, Kleshchev and Wang shows that the Specht modules are graded. It therefore makes sense to talk about graded decomposition numbers and graded homomorphisms between Specht modules.
This talk will discuss some recent work on KLR algebras.
Zelevinsky involution and Langlands classification of modulo l irreducible representations of GL(n,F)Alberto Minguez, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu, FranceIn the l-adic representation theory of GL(n) (and its inner forms) over a p-adic field there are two classification schemes due to Zelevinsky and Langlands in which the building blocks are certain segment representations Z(\Delta) and L(\Delta).
When one considers modulo l representations, l different from p, there exists a Zelevinsky classification of the irreducible representations of GL(n) (due to Vignéras) and its inner forms (due to Mínguez-Sécherre). In this talk we will present how to construct a Langlands classification using the Zelevinsky involution. This is a joint work with V. Sécherre.
Iwahori-Hecke algebras are Gorenstein, parts 1 and 2Rachel Ollivier, Columbia University, USALet G be a split connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field of residual characteristic p, and let H be the (pro-p) Iwahori-Hecke algebra of G with coefficients in an arbitrary field k. In the classical case, where k has characteristic zero, H is known, by Bernstein, to be a regular ring. This means that any H-module has a finite projective resolution. This is no longer the case if k has characteristic p. However, we prove that H is always a Gorenstein ring.
In the first talk we describe the construction of a natural resolution of H as a bimodule over itself. It is obtained thanks to coefficient systems on the semisimple Bruhat-Tits building of G. This resolution allows us to prove that H has finite injective dimension as a module over itself.
In the second talk we first prove, in the case where G is semisimple, that the injective dimension of H is equal to the rank of the group G and that there is a duality functor on the finite length modules. Lastly, we consider the case where k has characteristic p and prove that H has a simple module with infinite projective dimension. The latter result is valid for "most" split groups G.
Joint work with P. Schneider.

Joint work with R. Ollivier.
Patching and the Breuil-Schneider conjectureSug Woo Shin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USABreuil and Schneider made a precise conjecture on when an irreducible smooth representation tensored with an irreducible algebraic representation of a p-adic general linear group admits an invariant norm. The conjecture is central in the p-adic Langlands program. We will review recent results by Hu and Sorensen and report on joint work in progress with Caraiani, Emerton, Gee, Geraghty and Paskunas.
The Bernstein relations in the pro-p-Iwahori Hecke algebra of a general reductive p-adic groupMarie-France Vigneras, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu, FranceLet $G$ be a general reductive group over a p-adic field $F$ of finite residue field, let $I_p$ be the pro-$p$-radical of an Iwahori subgroup of $G$, and let $R$ be a commutative ring. The pro-p-Iwahori Hecke algebra of $G$ is the algebra $H$ of intertwiners of the regular representation $R[I_p\backslash G]$, naturally isomorphic to the compatly supported bi-$I_p$-invariant functions $G\to R$. This algebra is ubiquitous in the theory of representations of $G$ in the natural characteristic.
To any spherical orientation $o$ of an apartment of the Bruhat-Tits building of $(G,F)$, is associated a basis $(E_o(w))$ satisfying certain relations called the Bernstein relations. These basis play an important role in the classification of simple $H$-modules and of smooth $R$-representations of $G$, when $R$ is an algebraically closed field field of characteristic $0$ (Kazhdan-Lusztig, Ginsburg) and $p$ (V., Ollivier, Abe).
For a split group $G$, the Bernstein relations were proved by Lusztig for the affine Hecke algebras with invertible parameters, by V. for the pro-p-Iwahori Hecke algebras. The introduction by Gortz of the orientations, based on the notion of alcove walk by Arun Ram, allows a much better approach. The elegant proof of Gortz of the Bernstein relations for affine Hecke algebras with invertible parameters was extended by N.Schmidt to the pro-p-Iwahori Hecke algebras.
Quantum Frobenius characteristic map for the centers of Hecke algebrasWeiqiang Wang, University of Virginia, USAWe will establish a precise connection between the centers of Hecke algebras associated to the symmetric groups and the ring of symmetric functions, quantizing the classical Frobenius characteristic map. This leads to an answer to a question of Lascoux on identification of several remarkable bases of the centers with bases of symmetric functions.
This is joint work with Jinkui Wan (Beijing).
Generalized Foulkes modules and decomposition numbers of the symmetric groupMark Wildon, University of London, UKFinding the decomposition numbers of blocks of the symmetric group in prime characteristic is one of the main open problems in modular representation theory. I will talk about a new result that gives information about decomposition numbers in blocks of arbitrarily high weight. The result is obtained by applying the Brauer correspondence for p-permutation modules, as developed by M. Broué, to various twists of the permutation module given by the action of the symmetric group S_{2n} by conjugacy on its conjugacy class of fixed-point-free involutions. We classify all the vertices of the indecomposable summands of these modules over fields of odd prime characteristic. In characteristic zero these modules appear in the long-standing Foulkes Conjecture: I will end by mentioning some recent computational results on this problem.
This is joint work with Eugenio Giannelli.

It`s official: Dick Versace signed a contract with the Indiana Pacers Wednesday. Intersports of Chicago negotiated the 2 1/2-year deal, which pays the former Detroit Pistons` assistant just over $200,000 a year. Here`s a little-known fact about the newest member of the NBA`s elite: Versace started his career as a football coach in Downstate Illinois.
Jim Les, who played at Bradley under Versace and for the Chicago Express last summer, makes his first appearance here with an NBA team when the Utah Jazz meets the Bulls at the Stadium Friday. It`s been a long time coming for Les, who was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks, had two unsuccessful tryouts with the Philadelphia 76ers, got a cup of coffee with the Milwaukee Bucks and finally earned a one-year contract from the Jazz.

Another wonderful day with Sarah. I went in to see Sarah early again this morning and she was laying wide awake in her crib rolling around. She looked at me and just had a look on her face like she expected me to be coming. I fed her cereal and a bottle and you could tell that she was ready for the day. In the afternoon it sounds like our orphan care ministry held Sarah almost all afternoon so she never got a nap. When I came in at the end of our work day she was still going strong and blowing bubbles with her tongue (Marianne, same "spitting" she was doing the night we left that had us cracking up so hard). Throughout the day I would pop my head in to see her and she always seemed so happy to see me. As I leave I always stand at the door and wave goodbye until she stops looking at me. She just stares at me for a few minutes and then gets distracted by someone or the video showing. The orphan ministry has not been allowed by the mamas to just snatch babies out of their cribs and hold them . . . but they are letting them get Sarah whenever they like. It's neat that they all understand that I'm her papa and we are there to love on her and all the other children. All the babies seem like they are doing just fine. I'm always amazed how the room is full of babies and how little crying their is. Praise God for this wonderful place where these children are so meticulously cared for. Still wondering if God has a glorious miracle up His sleeve for Sarah to be able to come home with us but we are running out of time. No matter what Lord, to you be the glory and honor. Until tomorrow! Oh, almost forgot, Marianne, I don't know if you can see it in the pictures but I asked one of he mamas to take the picture of Sarah and I together and she took us over to the kitchen area and pulled out some "sticker" ear rings to put on her. It was pretty funny but cute. She was wearing little ear rings to make her look pretty! Love you so much honey.

A little over a month ago I had the pleasure of being pulled over by a police officer on the way to work and given a ticket for driving with an expired license. As soon as he pulled in behind me I knew I was going to get a ticket for something but I had no idea it would be for my tag. I never received the renewal notice this year, so naturally I didn't think anything about it. I'm not harping on the cop at all; he was just doing his job and it really is something I should have noticed (it had expired 3 months before). I went later that day, paid the $28 to have it renewed, and have been waiting until this afternoon for my court date.
Now it's been almost 20 years since I was last in court (for a speeding ticket) but have they changed the rules at some point? I was expecting to go into the courthouse, find my name on the court roster telling me where to go, and then sit in court waiting for my name to be called. That's what I had to do last time and I while I wasn't eager to sit there for hours or be there at all, I was kind of looking forward to watching the court process and hearing about other people's cases before I was called on. Instead I get there and am immediately herded into a line of at least 50-75 people that stretches around the "lobby" and through the snack room. Through the course of chit chatting with the other degenerates like myself in line I found out that for most minor infractions like expired plates, speeding tickets, and misdemeanor possession of marijuana, all you have to do is pay at the window and you're free to go. No sitting in the court room, no talking to a judge, just pay the city off and leave. There were lawyers standing near the front of the line helping people and instructing them where to go and what they would need to do before they made it to the window.
I understand how the courts should be reserved for bigger things and have no problem being able to get my ticket taken care of in 20-30 minutes instead of hours on end. All I had to do was show the lawyer my updated registration and I was free to go, I didn't even have to talk to anyone at the window. Hopefully that counts as "showing up for court" and I won't have the cops looking for me for failure to show.

What happened to monthly updates?
No clue.
Combing the TSW/RSS forums was once my daily routine.
I would look forward to pouring all my emotions in a post.
This blog was my outlet during flares.
Things have definitely changed.
And it is true when people say time heals all wounds.
Maybe this is why I do not post as frequently anymore.
Monthly updates have become once every two months.
Then it will be once every quarter.
Once every 6 months.
Once a year.
Then *poof*
I do not want it to happen.
And that is why I keep coming back.
It is an online diary of sorts and a place for me to revisit and remind myself of what I had to go through.
My blog also grounds me when I am about to go off the rails with my crappy eating habits. (Hello $0.67 hamburgers at McD's!)
Holding on and not letting you go.
TSW/RSS update:
Menstruation cycle started a few days ago. Immediately felt tingly in the face. Lips also started to burn. No idea if it was the new salad dressing or just my eczema acting up, but my body is strong enough to hold it down. I will give it a few more days and see.
Back in 2012 and before ITSAN.org was born, TSW/RSS chats were on Google and it some sort of old school forum thingamabob. Speaking of Google, I just searched TSW/RSS and there are so many search results that pop up. Nice to see our little community flourishing and glad to see this finally be recognized as a REAL problem!

Success In Amway Is A Choice?
But IBOs and information seekers should understand quite clearly. You cannot simply "choose" to win or succeed. In a football game, both sides can believe and choose to win, but still, only one can be the victor. In Amway, it is common for a platinum to have 100 to 200 downline. Thus to be a platinum, you need to be in the top one half of one percent of IBOs. To be a diamond, you will need to be in the top 600 to 1200 IBOs, not counting the masses of IBOs who register and do nothing or register and do a little and quit. Only one in about ten to twenty thousand will ever reach diamond in North America.
Sure, IBOs may cite some touching story like "Rudy". Basically a nobody who dreamed of playing for Notre Dame. He busted his butt and did whatever it took to make the team and the movie ends with him getting in a game, making a sack and being carried off the field by his teammates in a blaze of glory. A great and inspiring movie. But what you don't see is the possible tens of thousands of young men who had the same dream, may have worked every bit as hard but circumstances and situations prevented them from achieving the same limited success. Uplines want you to think these kinds of stories can happen to everyone, but the fact is that there is only a little room at the top. If stories like Rudy were common, then there would have been nothing special about it. An elite athlete like a Michael Jordan or a Tiger Woods only comes along once or twice in a lifetime. It is like achieving diamond. It happens but it is a rare occasion, especially in North America where Amway appears to be shrinking instead of growing.
In the Amway business, many prospects and IBOs are motivated and driven to succeed. Many of them are fine young men and women who want more in life. But the vast majority of those who try will not achieve their dreams via the Amway opportunity no matter how hard they work and no matter how badly they want it. The reason is because there are too many variables that are not in direct control of the IBO. The Amway reputation in North America is spotty at best so sponsoring downline is nearly impossible. And when you can sponsor, chances are your downline will do little or nothing. Many new IBOs will work hard, but quit because they are faced with the challenges I just mentioned. And even if you can overcome the overwhelming odds, you still need to keeping working hard constantly to maintain the business, all for an unstable average diamond income of $146,995, which doesn't consider taxes, medical insurance and other perks you may receive at a job. All told, I believe the diamond income is not all it's cracked up to be when you consider the charade you must play to display the diamond lifestyle. Do the math and you will be able to see for yourself.
In the end, it seems as though the prize isn't as great as it seems, and the trail to success is one that most cannot endure. And even if you achieve diamond, you can lose it quite easily as others have discovered. The bottom line is that you cannot simply choose to succeed in Amway or any other endeavor. Good luck if you decide to attempt it anyway.

Hey Joe, I was looking at some Amway stuff and noticed that ibofb is back to his cyber bullying again. What is his problem? Did you guys fight or something and then he retaliated by writing that article with old material?

Hey Mike,
IBOfightback is obsessed with me. I think he cannot handle being outsmarted by me all the time. One of the things he failed to mention in his article is that he is a registered member of the World Sex Guide. I suspect he was using my story as an excuse to login and read all the stories there. A lot of his material is his current story is completely inaccurate.
- August 8, 2012 at 2:25 PM
I really like your posts. A friend of mine who is 23 (I'm 22) has just finished creating his Amway website, and is now contacting everyone he knows so that they can take advantage of this opportunity, too. I've been doing all the research that I can, studying the system (PV, BV, gems, leadership bonus, etc.). I watched the Dateline report, read most of Married to an Ambot posts, now I'm reading through Joecool's posts. Are there any pros to being an Amway IBO? Have I just been reading all the negative things written about Amway?
- August 8, 2012 at 2:25 PM
- Joecool said...
EL, the fact is that nearly everyone who gets involved in Amway will make nothing or lose money.
It's great to be in Amway if you own Amway or if you can make money by selling training material to build Amway. I don't see aren't many pros to being an Amway IBO. While some people make money, there are quite rare.

Agreed with everything written Joe, I actually denied to join amway when I was shown 'the plan' for the first time. After one and half years later I called the same guy and joined the business becuause I needed some extra income with all good heart self motivation and what not. There is in important hurdle here. When you desperately want to be successful my up line told me you need to believe in business; wants and beliefs are different! Yes they're but will you do something desperately wanting to be successful and not believing you will succeed? How rubbish that is, and I had the guts to throw the CDs and books back to him and say 'I Quit' when I realised that, for every success they make you think someone else's responsible and for every failure I was responsible. More and more you be associated to CDs, Books and seminars and up-line you will feel guilty of not having succeeded even though the entire Amway is mathematically designed ensure IBOs do fail. None of them are positive helping people, but they can make you bare without your knowledge.
EL, I have been the biggest fan of this Blog and a few others. I actually worked day in and out in Amway and had limited losses in about 21 months in the business. I quit before I would become financial suicide and whatever I know about Amway is as much as anyone could know being diamond. There is nothing called more knowledge being a diamond, you find more cults you become diamond, else not. I have written entire story of mine in my blog http://amwayscam.wordpress.com/ If you need more materials, both qualitative and quantitive, you can find them there too. I have nothing against anyone in Amway but honestly, there is nothing you can gain in Amway and mostly lose through it - mentally and financially

I do not know what is the purpose of that, because there will be pro and anti for anything. I am here to only flush out the anger and hopefully help someone not to fall in the trap. No idea what he gets out of pro-Amway propaganda. He is there everywhere I guess

Prof. Axel Bertram, a German graphic designer, began the development of the Rabenau typeface family during the mid-1990s. A variety of hand-lettered alphabets, which Prof. Bertram has previously designed for a number of practical applications, formed the basis for the design of Rabenau's reduced, clear, functional, and emotionally appealing characters. These included: book covers, lettering for newspapers, and magazines, and even fonts for typewriters and television screens. Rabenau is a counterpoint to contemporary typefaces, which often run quite narrow. Its design has proven itself as a solution of the setting of immersive texts, in part because of its large x-height. The moderate stroke contrast helps contribute to a balanced gray in pages of text. The Rabenau typeface's letters, which exhibit a tension between individuality and similarity, fluctuate between baroque and neoclassical styles. A vertical axis, with gently-curved bracketing, and bar-shaped serifs with slight rounding, are further contributions to design's features. Also worthy of mention are the gently swinging arcs of the letters' curves and stems, as well as the open lower counter form in the lowercase g a trait Rabenau shares with Baskerville's typefaces.The letterforms in the Rabenau typeface combine formal rigor with grace and legibility. Before the typeface was released, it was already used extensively and successfully in several book projects. Beginning in 2003, Prof. Bertram worked closely with the calligrapher and type designer Andreas Frohloff, a collaboration that helped expand Rabenau into a 16 weight family.License

Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.License

The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association Top 20, with last year's record in parentheses.
1. Princeton (19-1)
2002 final ranking: No. 1.
Sun's take: Look for a smooth transition for the defending national champ despite graduating three All-Americans. Few teams have as solid a returning corps that includes a pair of All-Americans, Rachael Becker and Theresa Sherry, and two sophomores fresh off breakout seasons, attack Lindsay Biles and goalie Sarah Kolodner.
2. Duke (10-8)
2002 final ranking: No. 9.
Sun's take: A top-notch recruiting class as well as the return of All-America midfielder Kate Kaiser after a season lost to a torn ACL set the Blue Devils within striking distance of their first national title. Lauren Gallagher and Meg Miller also lend experience.

Question about Goodmans W280NS Television
The picture and selection of channels was excellent untill a few months
ago when the number of freeview channels was reduced to 3. Tried
searching for updates to the driver and also re-tuning following the
manual instructions but still only getting bbc1, bbc2, bbc news 24.
Any suggestions would be welcomed!
Posted by kitorrkat on
I have just brought a one for all remote and the code on the back of my goodman tv isnt matching any of the codes on the remote booklet, i have tried selection search and that doesnt work either. Any suggestions on solving this head doing problem.
Many thanks
Dan Sowney
Posted on Apr 15, 2011
First ensure that the TV input is set on the Freeview channels, just in case.
Then check the antenna, when Freeview does not get all channels, it is always the aerial (antenna).
Many areas in UK have still poor reception. If you use an internal antenna, go to Argos or Currys and buy an amplified antenna for freeview, that will improve the signal.

Pictured: the Elsbeth II Photo by: Birk Thomas
Founded in 1968, by Captain Latham Smith. When he constructed his first oceangoing tug, the Elsbeth along the Miami River.
Captain Smith would go on to establish a shipyard along the St. John's River in Green Cove Springs, Florida. Where three additions tugs where constructed. The Elsbeth II in 1987, the Elsbeth III in 1998, and the Rhea in 2002.
In 2006, the company acquired the Dixie Diver. A 300(ton) derrick barge that was refitted, and rebuilt at the company's Morgan City, Louisiana location.
In 2009, Captain Smith added the semi-submersible barge, the Elvis. And, in 2012, the company added a heavy-lift, deck barge, the Marilyn Monroe. Both were rebuilt after they were acquired by the company.

While in my Design Management MBA graduate program, I cultivated an interest in storytelling and how it works in personal and organizational relations. I subsequently completed my master's thesis in this area, exploring the question of whether storytelling is a critical success factor in (client/consultant) relationships. Recently, I has the occasion to present this research at the Drexel University i-School, I thought you might enjoy seeing the video of my lecture as well as the slides which I used.
The video can be found at: http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/video#56
The slides are below:
Storytelling Dissertation Slides 2 24 09 (For Drexel I School)
View more presentations from Craig Delarge.
A few important takeaways from this talk are:
1. We use stories to make sense of experience, indeed the world revolves around stories and we underestimate this to our disadvantage.
2. Stories are an important tool in educating (transferring knowledge), influencing the culture of our relationships & organizations, managing conflict, communicating vision, demonstrating leadership and establishing brands (especially your personal brand).
3. Storytelling is an art form we should all study and strengthen as anyone can learn its use and its ill-use damages us and our relationships with ourselves and others.
4. "Story listening" is at least as important as storytelling as it offers a window into the world of others and improves our ability to empathize with and serve others be that at work, home or otherwhere.
5. Stories can be used as an "evidence of service". Often our lack of knowing/telling good stories about our contribution keeps us from achieving many of our goals at work and in our careers.
6. Storytelling can be risky requiring sincerity, empathy, thought, planning and an understanding of the audience. Study storytelling and your audience so that it does not backfire on you.
There are many good books on this topic but the most broadly comprehensive I have seen is Denning's, "The Leader's Guide to Storytelling".
As always, I would love to hear examples of where you have used storytelling to advantage in your wise working.

General RV Va. Site Out To Build Market Share
August 11, 2017 by RVBusiness Leave a Comment
A new-to-market company has rolled into Ashland, Va., with a $20 million plan to capture a chunk of the Mid-Atlantic RV market – and it's lured some former salespeople of a nearby competitor to gain its foothold.
Richmond Biz reported that Michigan-based General RV Center is planting its first Virginia RV dealership in Hanover County's Northlake Industrial Park at 12195 Harley Club Drive in Ashland.
General RV opened the center Monday (Aug. 10) led by general manager Ed McNamara, who has 40 years of RV sales experience – the last eight at McGeorge Rolling Hills RV, which has a massive lot less than a mile north.
McGeorge was acquired earlier this year by Camping World Holdings – a publicly traded retail conglomerate that now owns Camping World RV dealerships and outdoor gear retailer Gander Mountain.
McNamara said McGeorge's deal with Camping World left him with a few options: stay with the new owners, retire or leave to start something new.
"I had a relationship with the family of General RV," McNamara said. "I decided it was time to leave, and help General RV launch their new facility here."
