Reference Library Upgrades Automate Complex and Time-Consuming IDS Generation and Reference Disclosure
Online PR News – 24-March-2011 – – SAN MATEO, Calif., March 24, 2011 — First To File® (FTF), the world's leading patent document management company, today announced a significant upgrade to its Electronic File Room™ (EFR) patent document management service. The latest version of the service features advanced reference library functionality, which can automatically associate all references from a case family with a new case. In addition, the service can now automatically generate editable information disclosure statements (IDSs) from reference library contents, as well as supplemental IDSs when new references are added. More information about FTF and EFR, including details about the reference library enhancements and the many other upgrades in the latest version of the service, is available at www.firsttofile.com.
Patent law requires applicants to file IDSs listing prior art references—other patents, articles, and other materials relevant to the patent application. Fulfilling this requirement is critical, as a patent may be invalidated if a court later finds that a prior art reference was not appropriately disclosed. To guard against this, today's patent applicants often assemble and provide to the patent office huge volumes of prior art references. Hundreds of articles are sometimes associated with a particular case family, all of which may need to be disclosed each time a new case in the family is filed.
However, many patent-filing organizations lack any formal or automatic system to map and track references associated with a case file or case family. They manually manage reference libraries—often merely stacks of papers in folders—and create IDSs, which is time-consuming, due to the large volume of references, and also risky, due to the possibility of human error.
FTF's newly enhanced patent document management service automates and simplifies the handling of large reference libraries, reducing both the risk of inadvertent non-disclosure that can lead to later patent invalidation and also the time to prepare required disclosure documents. Powerful new functionality includes keyword searching of the reference library and a suggestion engine that intelligently recommends references from the library for disclosure.
"First To File's new reference library functionality is incredibly useful, especially as the stakes are so high for the proper disclosure of prior art references," said Stephen Nesbitt, chief patent counsel, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX). "For many organizations, prior art management is a very manual and error-prone function. First To File saves patent teams time and helps to ensure that all references are properly brought to the attention of the Patent Office."
"First to File continues to innovate, enabling our customers to manage their IP assets cost-effectively and to leverage them most effectively," said James Bergeron, chief executive officer, First To File. "The EFR feature set is customer-driven and designed to meet practical, real-world requirements, increasing our lead as the world's foremost patent document management company."

The way we work in the modern business world is rapidly changing. We are no longer tied to a single office base, but instead can be found working from whatever location makes most sense – customer sites, cafes, trains, or home. We may also be working flexible hours to fit round the needs of our customers, or the demands of our personal life.
These changes in the way we work have been enabled by the growth of the Internet, mobile technologies, and more recently cloud based software.
Technology means that we now can collaborate and share information more easily than ever. Cloud based tools, like Google Apps, enable a whole team to work together online on a single document. They can do this at the same time, no matter where they are all based. But to really take advantage of all this technology we need to adopt a new style of working, which we call "working out loud".
Working out loud pioneer John Stepper says of the approach: 'Working out loud combines the age-old principles for building meaningful relationships with the modern abilities to share your work, get feedback, and interact with others who share your interests. It wraps all of this in a mindset of generosity. Working out loud starts with making your work visible in such a way that it might help others. When you do that – when you work in a more open, connected way – you can build a purposeful network that makes you more effective.'
We were so inspired by the concept that we adapted it to fit our company name – but what does 'working out loud' actually mean, and how can it benefit you?
Working out loud
Working out loud involves every employee making their work observable and narrating what they are doing as they go along.
Making your work observable
You can make your work observable by using collaborative working tools like Asana, Trello, and Google Apps. These help colleagues to be aware of what you are doing, and gives them the chance to comment on your work and contribute to it while it's still work-in-progress.
Narrating your work
By describing the work you are doing as you go along, you can better track and manage your progress, and give other employees the chance to learn from, and comment on, the issues you're tackling. You can narrate your work by using one of the many online business platforms that give everyone access to the kind of social networking functionality that you might find on Facebook, Twitter or blogging sites.
Working out loud in this way requires a spirit of generosity and openness where you aim to help and support colleagues just as much as pursuing your own personal goals. If everyone works this way organisations can create a strong flexible network of employees across the business, where staff remain connected with each other wherever they are based.
The tools required
Working out loud and the cloud go hand-in-hand. There are now hundreds of online tools that you can use to make work more visible. Collaborative platforms, and social intranets, like Jive or Socialtext, make it easy for staff to narrate their work, and provide real-time updates on what everyone is doing. Google Apps, and Microsoft Office 360, enable whole teams to collaborate on documents or presentations. Specialist task management tools like Asana or Trello make it easy to manage tasks and work across a whole project.
How we can help
Work Out Loud can help you to select the right software tools for your organisation, and implement them in a way that makes the vision of working out loud a reality.

Sandblasted - Chapter One
Credits: D. G. Chichester (writer), Daerick Gross (artist), Liz Agrophiotis (letterer), Atomic Paintbrush (colors)
The Plot: Peter Parker is sent to cover a sandcastle building contest on Coney Island, judged by J. Jonah Jameson. Meanwhile, Sandman's mole Skratchetti informs him that a local freakshow is being shipped a priceless mirror. Sandman steals the mirror from the freaks, but is confronted by Spider-Man.
The Subplots: Peter initially plans to spend his paycheck on a date with Betty, but realizes that he must help Aunt May with the bills.
Web of Continuity: Peter is still wearing glasses, living with Aunt May, and pursuing Betty during this story. Clearly, this is another "Untold Tale" even if it's not officially labeled that way.
Review: I used to wonder why Marvel never reprinted these Cybercomics, but now I can understand why. Although each page initially looks like a standard comic book page (with most of the panels grayed out), I've discovered that hitting the space bar doesn't automatically unlock the next panel. Instead, new word balloons often pop up in the existing panel. If Marvel did reprint this on paper, each individual panel would probably have to be blown up to almost a full page to make room for all of the dialogue. Plus, there's the cheap "animation" that has new characters occasionally popping into existing panels after hitting the space bar. The reader would be stuck with a "repeating images" page of a static Peter and Betty having a mundane conversation that ends with a final panel with the same image, only now Jonah is leaning over the wall, telling them to get back to work.
In regards to content, this might not be worth reprinting anyway. At this point in the story, we're still on the level of an annual backup, or a Fruity Peebles free comic giveaway. Perhaps Chichester has more planned, but right now all we have is a freakshow that's somehow received a priceless picture frame, which makes them targets of the Sandman. As for the subplots, Peter must help Aunt May with the bills yet again, and he has to endure Flash kicking sand in his face while on his Daily Bugle assignment. This…isn't riveting. Some of the jokes are amusing, though, and Daerick Gross' artwork isn't bad. (Although I question his decision to clad teenage Flash in a very tiny speed-o).
Sandblasted - Chapter Two
Credits: D. G. Chichester (writer), Daerick Gross (artist), Liz Agrophiotis (letterer), Atomic Paintbrush (colors)
The Plot: The supernatural mirror rips Sandman into numerous pieces. He takes advantage of his multiple bodies and proceeds to attack Spider-Man. When mini-Sandmen clog his webshooters, Spider-Man is forced to crash into a rollercoaster car. The Sandmen destroy a portion of the tracks, sending Spider-Man's car racing towards the crowd below.
Review: Wait, now the mirror's supernatural? Like it wasn't odd enough that a freakshow ended up with a jewel and diamond-encrusted mirror in the first place? Anyway, this is a half-way decent action chapter, which benefits a lot by the tiny Sandman clones. Having Spider-Man fight Sandman on the beach is just a painfully obvious idea, but the tiny Sandmen help to add another element to the story. The cliffhanger isn't bad, either.
Sandblasted - Chapter Three
Credits: D. G. Chichester (writer), Daerick Gross (artist), Liz Agrophiotis (letterer), Atomic Paintbrush (colors)
The Plot: Spider-Man escapes the car and uses his webbing to throw it away from the crowd. He grabs a mallet from one of the attractions and uses it to bat the Sandmen into the beach. The Sandmen realize that they can now absorb more of the sand, and each other, to form a giant Sandman.
The Subplots: Spider-Man catches Flash flirting with Betty, which reignites his insecurities that Betty is out of his league.
Review: Oh, that's just cheap. Spider-Man gets out of the last installment's cliffhanger by using his webshooters, the same webshooters that the Sandmen had hopelessly clogged up just a few seconds earlier. It's amusing to see him throw the car into a giant recreation of J. Jonah Jameson's head, but the scene still feels like a copout. The "Oh no, Flash is makin' time with my girl!" sequence also feels tired. It's nice to see a reminder of Peter's insecurities, even in the middle of a supervillain fight, but I'd like to think Chichester can dream up better dialogue than "It makes sense Betty would go for a 'hunk' type like Flash! She'd never want to hook up with a longtime 'nothing' like Peter Parker!"
Sandblasted - Chapter Four
Credits: D. G. Chichester (writer), Daerick Gross (artist), Liz Agrophiotis (letterer), Atomic Paintbrush (colors)
The Plot: Spider-Man grabs the mysterious mirror and points it at Sandman again. Sandman is reverted to his normal size and blasted into the ocean. Spider-Man picks up his camera, but discovers his film has melted in the summer heat.
The Subplots: When Peter sees Flash is still talking to Betty, he walks away from their planned date. Unbeknownst to him, Betty is politely trying to get away from Flash.
Review: Well, that's certainly a very Stan Lee ending. Chichester's efforts to evoke the Lee/Ditko era of Spidey have largely failed, but the ending does capture a bit of the genuine sadness that permeated those comics. This is still far from Untold Tales of Spider-Man, though. The main plot remains dopey, requiring that unexplained magic mirror to do whatever the story needs it to, and there's rarely any sense that Sandman is a real threat to Spider-Man. I don't think Chichester's sensibilities necessarily fit "classic" Spider-Man, though, so hopefully the other Cybercomics won't be so disappointing.

NEW YORK — Before Friday's game Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia seemed a gambler.
After it, he seemed psychic.
With the Angels struggling to score runs in the American League Division Series against the Yankees and Randy Johnson looming, Scioscia slid Bengie Molina into the fourth spot behind Vladimir Guerrero, who had one hit in the first two games and was growing increasingly impatient with the Yankees' cautious approach.

In my previous Birdlore blog I regaled readers with the legend of the Mighty Thunderbird of a Pacific Coast Tribe. The image of the storm-creating eagle is perhaps the most well-known depiction of this creature; however, the word "thunderbird" may also be used as a general term to describe any great bird of the skies in Native American lore. One of these great birds also happens to be a local legend: The Piasa Bird of Alton, IL.
The Piasa (pie-a-saw) was a terrible creature that was said to have terrorized the Illini tribes, who lived along the Mississippi River long before the arrival of the white man. The name translates as "the bird that devours men" because the Piasa was said to have preferred human flesh.
A modern reproduction of the "Piasa Bird" on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in Alton, IL. Wings were not described in Marquette's 1673 account. The original petroglyph eroded away on the limestone bluffs. (photo from the Wikipedia files)
The original petroglyph decorating the bluffs of Alton, depicted a mismatched creature that was part bird, reptile, mammal, and fish. In 1673, Missionary Father Jacques Marquette wrote a detailed account of the Piasa Bird's appearance in his diary, when he stumbled upon the original petroglyph on his journey down the Mississippi river. He wrote, "…the Piasa was as large as a calf with horns like a deer, red eyes, a beard like a tiger's, a face like a man, the body covered with green, red, and black scales and a tail so long it passed around the body, over the head and between the legs".
The most common legend regarding the origins of the Piasa Bird goes:
"Many moons ago, there existed a birdlike creature of such great size, he could easily carry off a full grown deer in his talons. His taste, however, was for human flesh. Hundreds of warriors attempted to destroy the Piasa, butt failed. Whole villages were destroyed and fear spread throughout the Illini tribe. Ouatoga, a chief whose fame extended even beyond the Great Lakes, separated himself from his tribe, fasted in solitude for the space of a whole moon, and prayed to the Great Spirit to protect his people from the Piasa.
On the last night of his fast, the Great Spirit appeared to Ouatoga in a dream and directed him to select 20 warriors, arm them each with a bow and poisoned arrow, and conceal them in a designated spot. Another warrior was to stand in open view, as a victim for the Piasa. When the chief awoke in the morning, he told the tribe of his dream. The warriors were quickly selected and placed in ambush. Ouatoga offered himself as the victim. Placing himself in open view, he soon saw the Piasa perched on the bluff eyeing his prey. Ouatoga began to chant the death song of a warrior. The Piasa took to the air and swooped down upon the chief. The Piasa had just reached his victim when every bow was sprung and every arrow sent sailing into the body of the beast. The Piasa uttered a fearful scream that echoed down the river, and died. Ouatoga was safe, and the tribe saved."
The most recent restoration of the Piasa Bird painting is located on the Mississippi bluffs just north of Alton along the Great River Road.
Even though the World Bird Sanctuary does not have a Piasa Bird, come visit us to see many other fascinating birds that may have been the inspiration for this ancient legend.

This week, guest blogger marketing marvel Jens-Petter Berget, owner of the SlyMarketing blog and company, reveals some of the best, most practical advice on how to market your books I've ever read. (This post originally appeared on the old Scott's Written Words blog.)
I say that I was a failed writer because I could not finish what I was writing for a very long time.
I am a solo entrepreneur with a marketing business, and I have written a novel and a short story for the Kindle. I am fairly successful in business with several big clients and a popular blog.
I love writing, but my first hurdle was to choose the right language. I write in Norwegian and in English. I am a better writer in Norwegian, because I am Norwegian, but I have a much bigger audience when I write in English. And that's why I started my marketing blog in English.
I am still not sure if it's such a good idea to keep writing in two different languages or if I should focus on one. But since I believe that one of my strengths in marketing and writing is experimenting and I'm not really in a hurry to get things published, I've decided to keep writing in both languages for now.
The 5 reasons I was a failed writer
1. I don't have a goal
I write because I love to write. I want people to read what I have written, and I love feedback. And I work to become a better writer. But I don't have a goal when I write.
I am telling a story. I want it to be entertaining, but do I want my readers to cry, to learn something, or to never forget about the main character?The truth is that I don't know. I just write without having a single goal for the story or how my readers should react.
I believe writers should have a main goal with everything they write. Do you agree?
2. I don't focus
When I started writing my novel, I thought that I wouldn't do anything but write for a year. I believed that was what authors do. I'd lock myself inside my office and just write.
I did write for a long time, but I kept doing so many other things that were not part of my main projects. And I kept creating new projects, instead of writing and finishing the novel and the short story.
I believe that writers should focus on one project at a time, and finish it before starting new projects. Do you agree?
3. I am terrible at editing
I write from the beginning of the first sentence until I'm finished. That's it. I know that as soon as I've finished writing, I will be really just at the beginning. Most of the time it's all about the editing. And the first draft is more or less just the foundation of the story. But I am having a hard time to remove anything from the story. I can add a lot, but since I have a hard time removing anything, the story becomes more and more complex.
I have come to realize the importance of editing, but removing is still a huge obstacle for me. I'd love your thoughts on this — what part of editing do you struggle with?
4. I write alone
I love the solitude of writing and I love the social part of the online world. My marketing experience is mostly part of the social world, where I have teamed up with lots of brilliant people who are helping me out. I get the experience of people from all over the world, and we share marketing advice. This has been all positive, and I wouldn't have been able to start my business if I didn't have this team of supporters behind me.
I believe that I shouldn't have been doing all my writing alone. I should have teamed up with other writers and I should have told them about my projects, and we should have shared opinions and experience. I am sure it's a myth that authors should be all by themselves when they write. I do my best work when I get feedback and when I am having conversations with people. If I could start all over again, I would find a mentor and a team of like-minded people to help me out. I understand the power of collaboration and I would have done my share.
Do you write alone, or have you teamed up with other writers? I'd love to know if other people are part of your writing process.
5. I write what I love, not what people will buy
One of my friends is a painter. I believe he is a brilliant painter. I love the way he paints, but the reason he doesn't sell any of his paintings is that he only paints what he loves to paint. And at the time I am writing this, he loves to paint aliens and blood. I believe that if he would have looked more at what people are interested in buying rather than what he loves to paint, he would be making a career as a successful painter.
I am not saying that he should only look at the market, but the market should be part of what he's doing. And the same goes for my writing. It took me a long time to adjust my first novel from a story that I wanted to write, because I thought that it would be an interesting project, to a story that would actually sell. I have added elements of both.
Adjusting to the market is important if you're going to make any money from writing. I know that money isn't really the issue, but if we're going to be able to write every single day and make writing part of who we are and what we do, we need buyers. And that brings me to my last point.
How to market fiction books
The beginning
Research who your audience is. Find out where they are, and what you should be doing to reach them. It's usually not that hard.
Do a pre-launch phase. Think of how movies are marketed: they've got trailers and movie previews at the movie theatres. Create book trailers and add them to your blog, to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The point is that you should build expectations. It's not hard at all. You can hire a brilliant person to do it on Fiverr for only $5. Add some text, and she'll add the effects and the audio.
Use the trailer to drive traffic to your blog, and build an email list of people who are eager to read your book. Let them know that they'll get it before other people, or make a promise that they'll get it cheaper. The pre-launch phase should be no less than 30 days. It takes time to build expectations.
The middle
When you're launching your book, you should first send emails to the people on your list. They should be waiting for your book. Write guest posts on related blogs, the blogs your audience reads (which you learned during the research part of the pre-launch phase). You should write many guest posts, and they should be about the process of writing your book. Add things about your new book (you could do this during the pre-launch phase as well). Create press releases and submit them to the local press (it's fairly easy to get reviews in the local press) and to the large PR sites (such as?).
You should get testimonials from people who've read your book. Publish all the testimonials to your blog — the more the better. Ask your readers to publish the testimonials on sites like Amazon.com, which will give your book a higher ranking.
The end
The last part of the launch should be about building relationships with your readers. Relationships are one of the most important parts of marketing. Ask your readers for feedback, and get more testimonials. Build a community. Let them know about you. Tell them how you write, give them more background on the story, and why you wrote it and what your inspiration is.
It's important that you add to your blog regularly, and that you build your newsletter email list. Communicate with your fans and they will spread the word about your awesome books.

While we are there, they are going to give Mommy some medicine to prepare my body for you to make your way into the world!
I've had some issues with my blood pressure which is why they are bringing you a day before your due date.
But no worries, sweet pea, I will do my best even though I am so nervous!
I am praying that your delivery is smooth and that you love the life we can give to you.
You truly are the blessing in disguise that I never realized I wanted in life until I finally had you.

So, here we are about to step into the beginning of our life together sweet girl.

Is there a particular reason you don't want to share your business name? My first thought is that it's free advertising. I assume you have good reason; I'm just wondering what that is.
Thread: To Promote LEGAL Open Carry ...
I have decided to put my money where my mouth is. Therefore, as the owner of my own towing service here in the San Diego area, I have just established a NEW Super Discount policy!
Effective Immediately: Every person who LEGALLY open carries a handgun, either a revolver or a semi-automatic pistol in accordance with all current Federal, State and local laws, either for self-defense or simply for the expressed purpose of exercising their 2nd Amendment right, and while so legally carrying finds his/herself in need of my services will receive a 50% discount off of the total invoice amount.
I will call this my OpenCarry.Org 50% Discount!
My rates are very competitive, and believe me, I am not raking in the bucks, but I do take $5.00 off for every member of the military, and occasionally I will give a small discount to a repeat customer or a repair shop that give me preferential references, but this 50% discount will be reserved exclusively for those persons who demonstrate their understanding of the the 2nd Amendment and its importance to the survival of this nation by legally open carrying their weapon of choice.
How's that for a gun friendly business policy? Take THAT, you gun grabbers!
Since I do not identify my business here, if you ever use a towing service, just tell the driver that you want The OpenCarry.Org 50% Discount! If you have hired ME, show me that you are legally open carrying and you will receive 50% off! If you hired someone else, this will give you something to talkabout on your ride!
Is there a particular reason you don't want to share your business name? My first thought is that it's free advertising. I assume you have good reason; I'm just wondering what that is.

Don't Tread On Me.
I wasn't certain that putting in a plug for my business was within the rules of this forum. I don't mind telling you, but I don't want to be accused of using this forum for personal gain.
Great, need more people like this! If you are in the Bay area by any chance PM me.

Hey All,
I've got multiple rooted cuttings of N. gracilis nigropurpurea that are going to be ready to have new homes here in a couple of weeks. If anyone's interested in a trade, give me a heads up.
I'm open to just about anything, but no U. gibba or U. subulata, please. I have PLENTY of both.

Eight law firms have pledged to sign up at least 10 per cent of their employees to payroll giving by May as part of a campaign to promote the tax-free donations scheme.
The initiative was launched in the House of Lords earlier this month by the Labour peer Helena Kennedy QC. It calls on all law firms to hit the same target.
The launch was part of a series of events to mark the fifth anniversary of the Geared for Giving campaign, which is funded by Workplace Giving UK, a professional fundraising organisation that promotes payroll giving.
The campaign, launched in 2008, is now targeting sectors full of high earners, such as lawyers and bankers, to encourage them to sign up to payroll-giving schemes.
A survey of the top 50 firms according to the magazine Legal Week, carried out by the campaign in 2008, found that the average employee uptake of payroll giving was 4.5 per cent. That now stands at 5.1 per cent, compared with a national average of 6 per cent.
In a statement, Kennedy said: "Workplace giving remains the most tax-effective way to support a charity, particularly for a higher-rate taxpayer. A £10 gift can increase to £16.67 if given from the pay of someone who pays the 40 per cent tax rate."
Kennedy said that awareness of payroll giving was still low. "But employers who make it easy for their staff to engage can see huge improvements in their uptakes and, ultimately, in money raised for the charitable sector," she said.
She encouraged employers to support their employees' giving by adding to the donations that they make. "If you use it creatively, even with a small budget there is no better way to show that you care about the causes they want to support."

What delusion! I'll bet the liberals and progressives keep going to Whole Foods, which is about a high-quality selection of goods sold in a pleasant, slightly posh environment. I don't think people are going there to make a political statement, and I don't think people will boycott it to make a political statement — or at least not to make a statement about their support for health care reform, which, you may note, people are not fired up about. People are fired up against the legislation, and Whole Foods may gain some new customers, but we longtime Whole Foods shoppers go there for personal benefit and indulgence (which may include a smidgen of feeling good about greenness and "fair trade").
(Althouse's post is really about The Moderate Voice's less than moderate voice when writing about the Whole Foods boycott so click on over and read the whole thing.)
I haven't come across anything so far about this boycott's affect on Whole Foods but it's probably too early to tell. But if we had one here in Oklahoma City and I wasn't already shopping there, I'd start. (I didn't blog about it but we visited the Whole Foods in Orlando and had a great time there. Came away with a delicious take-home Cuban meal we ate in our hotel room.)

I find it funny that we are so devoted to making good, healthy, colourful and delicious food for everyone, but how often do you make yourself a delicious meal that just you enjoy. You get to make exactly what you want, how you want it and then sit down and enjoy the love you have just put into a meal and now yourself. Is there any better way to nourish your soul?
My boyfriend works a lot in the winter and is away a lot so this leaves me the opportunity to have some selfish time and take care of myself and put some love into the food I am putting in my body.
Here is a meal I had the other night. I sauteed Shitake mushrooms, Pancetta, Spinach and Sunflower seeds in a pan. Starting with the Pancetta and Shitake mushrooms then adding the Sunflower seeds and the Spinach. Once this was slightly cooked some roasted beets were added and mix together along with a sprinkle of Pear Balsamic vinegar. This was then put into a ramekin covered in some delicious local cheese and baked in the oven. Delish!
And after a day of Heli-skiing I deserved this healthy and delicious meal!
Don't forget to take care of and love yourself because at the end of the day when you lay your head on your pillow, you matter most!

"Getting Clarity in MY Business" - (Thursday, 29th October)
Jennie Gorman
Thursday, 29 October 2015 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (AEST)
Event Details
"Getting Clarity In MY Business"
Thursday, 29th October
Time: 2:00pm – 5:00pm
Workshop with Jennie Gorman
We will be exploring in depth where you are now and where you want to be with your business. Getting the CLARITY is important so you can make sure your foundations are solid.
This workshop is about putting the concepts you have heard about into practice. We will be looking into the what, why, who, when, where and how of setting these processes up to make them a reality in your business.
We will start with understanding your WHY you are in business and what you want from it. Once you are aware of this you can start building the foundations that will grow you and your business to where you want it to grow to.
This workshop is for anyone who owns their own business. No matter how long you have been operating, things have changed!! If you are not 'with the current programme' you are missing something important.
These basic areas of business are quite foreign to most people in the first stages of business and as an 'old hand' in business, I need the reminder often too. These are all very simple procedures, but without the understanding of their importance, they tend not to be set in place by many business owners.
We do not know what we don't know, so come and find out anothers perception on where you are at now.
I want you to walk away with clarity and a workbook that will support you to look further into your businesses future.

About Jennie
'the people connector'
Jennie Gorman had spent many years networking and showing people how to network before becoming known as 'the people connector'. Her passion is running MasterMind Groups and supporting business people to grow their businesses.
She began promoting and marketing in the late 1980's under the business name of My Connexions. In 1992 she opened a Personal Development and Natural Therapies Centre in Brisbane. This Centre involved up to twelve natural health practitioners (naturopaths, homoeopaths, acupuncturists etc) as well as personal and spiritual development trainers who ran development programmes seven days a week.
In 1995 the business name changed to Connexions Unlimited and Jennie worked with business owners promoting national and international speakers and trainers in Australia. As an ethical word-of-mouth marketing business Jennie's continued aim has been to educate, facilitate, support and show people in business an easy way to market themselves. If people learn the skills of marketing themselves and their business via word-of-mouth personally and via social media marketing (SMM) she believes they will find a very cost effective tool for business success. She loves and enjoy promoting people she knows who have integrity, a good service and product!
Jennie also runs the 'Plugged-In Series' which has been created to support all business owners to find the 'holes' in their business by gaining the knowledge and support from experts who have succeeded themselves in their given skill-set.
Having worked as a promoter for speakers and trainers over the years, from different business types, Jennie gained many insights. After many years she is now promoting her own training courses which have been developed over the last twenty five years.
For twenty five + years Jennie has been promoting, building and networking other people's businesses. Her success lies in her authenticity and firm belief that people buy people first and then their products or services. By building strong and ethical business relationships a business can only forge successfully into the future.
Marketing has changed immensely over the last few years. People are now wanting to connect with people whom they wish to do business with or recommend. Social Media has become a powerful tool too giving everyone the opportunity to market themselves more successfully.
Jennie believes networking must be FUN! It is all about meeting new people, maintaining relationships with everyone you know, like and trust as well as enjoying the experience!
Email Jennie if you wish to discuss how I can help you further your business relationships.
"The moment you commit and quit holding back, all sorts of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, will rise up to help you.
The simple act of commitment is a powerful magnet for help."

Richard Po-Chun Wong, 59, of Covina, California and formerly a practicing accountant in the State of California, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for his role in defrauding HSBC Business Credit (USA) out of some $46 million. According to prosecutors, Wong prepared false documentation to several third parties that fraudulently allowed them to obtain lines of credit from the bank. Wong plead guilty in 2006 to wire fraud and tax evasion on income he received from those companies he fraudulently helped obtain bank loans. William Chan Lim, 58, of Diamond Bar, California and another defendant in the case, was sentenced last September to 57 months in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and money laundering charges. A third defendant, Co Tro "Sammy" Lam, 50, of San Gabriel, California, was sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and tax evasion charges in 2005.

Geeks Next Door – Not a Big DealWritten by Geeks Next Door - Published on November 24, 2009
This is a guest post from Geeks Next Door. They agreed to write D&D-related strips for Dungeon Mastering and share their thoughts on their creative process, as well as their Dungeons and Dragons adventures. Enjoy!
Thoughts from the Geeks Next Door
The GND crew agreed to give their thoughts and comments on the strips they write for Dungeon Mastering. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment. I hope you enjoyed the webcomic.
JESSI – Yes. Barry's old character and the rest of the party died in the wizard's tower. It was mainly Barry's fault. Since my group and I failed so hard the first time, are there any pointers that you guys would give us? What would be your mindset going into the wizard's tower? In-character, I'm being pretty serious about it. Hopefully, this time, it won't be a total loss…
MATT – Ah, my favorite type of game session — the kind where I don't actually have to DO anything. It's so nice when players psych each other out for you, isn't it? Yes, it is. On a different but related note, I've just started running an old-school campaign myself (Castle Zagyg, if anyone's curious (doubtful)). I'll let you know if any of the players gack it!
MAGGIE – Jessi's always had problems holding on to her friends. I guess it never works out for her in real life AND in game. I totally am still digging my hair and outfit. Might have to make it my winter look for my Christmas cards this year. The castle looks pretty diabolical, but I've seen more ominous-looking castles in Disney movies. This'll be a cinch.

And 30 weeks pregnant. Going to attempt to have Dave Winney do a 3/4 mount for her.
Good on her
Now left only to be a turd in the forrest and the circle will be complete.Use me as I have used you
Gotta love that! Congrats to your lady! And how cool for the kid to say" yeah mom was out bear hunting with me inside"
Well done, congratulations.
Congrats to you both and I highly recommend Dave, he does fine work and has done many bears for me and my friends.
"I refuse to let the things I can't do stop me from doing the things I can"
Congratulations to you and your wife on the upcoming little one. I hope he/she loves to hunt as much as his/her parents do.
Oh yeah, congrats on the bear as well...
Foolishness is a moral category, not an intellectual one.
Nice, congrats to her.
Congrats you two sure will have some stories to tell the kids!
Wow, hard for me to even talk the wife into letting me go hunting when she was pregnant. Congrats on the bear. We think we are tough but its nothing compared to having that kid. Thats tough. You got it good!
I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether I got anything, it has to do with how the day was spent. Fred Bear
Very nice.
Nice work to you both. You had her out there just 8 weeks away from having a baby!!! That'll be one to keep forever. I can no doubt see the whole fam out there in the tree stand next year!!! Congrats to you both.

Fifth-ranked South Carolina couldn't put a free throw in the ocean, and SEC Player of the Year Tiffany Mitchell made 4-of-10 shots Friday. If Dawn Staley had been told that before a game, she would have thought the worst.
Yet, the Gamecocks hammered Georgia 67-48 on Friday to cruise into the SEC tournament semifinals.
"We came out ready to play," Staley said. "We played good basketball. Of course there are things we'd like to clean up, like offensive rebounding, the free-throw line. But a win is a win in our league."
And it will be a lot easier to work on problems following a victory.
Like in a 67-56 win against Georgia in Columbia on Feb. 27, USC took advantage of the Bulldogs' cold shooting to build a first-half lead, then had more than enough to finish.
Georgia shot 26.1 percent from the field.
The Gamecocks roared to a 57.1 shooting day despite Mitchell being out of gear. Centers Alaina Coates and Elem Ibiam combined for 25 points and 11 rebounds as the smaller Bulldogs couldn't contain them.
Tina Roy came off the bench for eight first-half points, stalwart Aleighsa Welch had 10 and Mitchell finished with 11.
Take away the 9-of-21 free-throw shooting, and it nearly was a perfect day for USC.
"I think it's something that we can't afford to continue to do," Welch said. "I've been here when it's been worse. We've been a lot more consistent with it this year, so hopefully we can just bounce back."
With Mitchell struggling, USC went to the old reliable – throw the ball inside.
Ibiam and Coates were too much for Georgia to handle. Coates blocked the first of four shots within 10 seconds of checking in and was relentless offensively.
"I think with our bigs, they have done a tremendous job all season long being very efficient from an offensive standpoint," Staley said. "I will bring up the Tennessee game, where I don't think we were as efficient as we had been all season long. It was great to see them get back on track and do the things that got us here."
USC matched the second-winningest season in program history (27 wins, 1978-79) and advanced to the tournament semifinals for the second time in program history. The Gamecocks will play Kentucky at noon on Saturday with the winner advancing to the championship game. USC has never played for the title. The Gamecocks beat the Wildcats twice this season.
"We want to come out with another championship," Coates said. "We're trying to make history."

Matthew 6:6 makes it very clear that Christians are supposed to pray in a quiet space where they are alone.
Nothing Jesus commands advocates Christians to pray in public before sporting events.
The New International Version reads, "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
The New Living Translation reads, "But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you."
The King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) reads, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
Therefore, if one is truly interested in religious practice of Christianity then perhaps one should follow the example of Jesus Christ and obey the Law of the Bible.
Pre-game prayer is nothing more than the endorsement of Christianity on goverment property at a government sponsored event.

No, not the Marvel Character... I'm talking about the MMA dude, Jon Koppenhaver... Police are looking for him because he was allegedly involved in an assault in the early morning hours of Friday in Las Vegas. One of the individuals involved is his former girlfriend, Christy Mack; the other individual involved is Corey Thomas.
I know that I normally don't post these kind of news, because I'm not much of a fan of MMA...
The reason I'm posting this is:
er... I mean:
Dog and Beth on the Hunt... But yeah, Dog the Bounty Hunter wants to go after War Machine.
This reeks of Publicity stunt and I fear that the Dog, the Big Bad Dog would get his ass whipped by War Machine... Beth better watch out too since the guy may have no issues with beating up women.
So, long story short; Methinks Dog may be biting more than he can chew.

i don't make fun of people, dipshit. i tell people they're idiots. there's a difference.
you wanna do psych analyses? fine.
You're a fucking loser, and you fail at everything you do. you know how i know? you pay for hacks. you pay. for hacks. for online games. that means
1. you're too stupid to do it yourself
2. you're too lazy to learn to do it yourslef
3. you don't know the value of a dollar
4. you suck at video games
there. see how wrong i am? see how much of an idiot i look like while doing that? that's how you look. good job.
i don't act tough. never once have i acted tough over the internet. that's fucking stupid. i'm telling you where you went wrong. i don't think i'm "all that". i know my place. i don't flame everyone, do i? it's obvious to anyone with an iq over 15 that i'm not bullying people. you, apparently, do not fall into the group.
what i do:
"your statements are untrue, these are the reasons why."
*moron persists*
"here are more reasons why your statements are untrue, you're also an idiot for denying facts"
"ur stupid lul. cuz u are. im gonna find out where u live and throw rocks at ur house."
and finally, what you're doing (trying to act smarter than you really are):
"i think i'm going to lash out, unprovoked, at one of the more prominent members of the forums, hoping to bring him down in some way. oh wait, he's pretty smart, so, being the idiot that i am, i'm going to try and act smart while throwing a bunch of bullshit at him, hoping he won't see through it.
THAT'S bullying. kanna was right, moron. saying owned just proves that you're concieted and arrogant.

There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it.
If you wake up at a different time in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?
=/ Good point, but I still think that we just need to stop debating about this. Who ever brought it up, clearly was not thinking of what issues it may cause on these forums.

Ace, you seem like a Cool guy. I have no problem with you, I would just like if I got a little more Respect, and In turn I will Respect you more too.
i don't flame anyone who doesn't act like a douche. that goes for everyone
that's pretty much what i said

Over the last couple years I have become very enamored with wines from the Southern Rhone Valley in the South of France. The red wines from the Southern Rhone are primarily made with the Grenache grape with some Syrah or Mourvedre sometimes blended in. It is only recently that I have started to discover and really enjoy wines from the Northern Rhone. In the north it is the Syrah that becomes the star. Northern Rhone wines are typically made with either all Syrah or Syrah-based with some other grapes blended in.
This 2005 Crozes Hermitage from Paul Jaboulet Aine is a very nice example of what you can get with a good Northern Rhone red. In your glass the color is a very basic ruby red. The nose is subtle but quite nice with a complex bouquet. You get cherry and blackberry fruit with some smoke and spice and a subtle but welcome earthiness. In your mouth you get more of the same with great black cherry fruit flavors and some of the peppery spice you expect from a good Syrah. This is backed up with some good acidity and solid tannins to make for a very well structured wine.
This wine has the muscle to pair well with a nice steak, but it also has enough finesse to pair nicely with a number of different dishes. It would be perfect with a grilled leg of lamb.
As far as value goes, I love finding wines that taste more expensive than they are, and I wish this was the case with this one . This Crozes Hermitage is probably priced exactly right. It's about $22 and tastes just like a wine in that price range should. No great value here, but certainly fair value for the money.

Oh Marvel. For every good comic that is published there seems to be five more that are just barely tolerable and five that just make readers want to claw their eyes. There seems to be a few problems that need to be addressed.
1. Reusing the same storylines.
How many times are the X-men going to be wiped out or sterylized. This time its negative effect of Terigen Mists, ten years ago it was M-Day. Same thing happening with a new twist. Keeping on the subject, Civil War 2 is happening. Because the first one was oh so much fun to read…and not painful at all…With so many writers that you have on your team, or former writers, somebody has to have the chutzpah to say, "We need something new" or, "I don't think that's a good idea."
2. The Same Writers.
Haven't you guys noticed that its always the same guys that keep writing the stories? Let's be honest, Brian Michael Bendis was, at one point, churning out some of the best of Marvel. Now…he's kind of past his prime. New writers are finding it hard to break into the comic book genre since it seems to be the most exclusive club after Broadcasting. These first two go together like PB&J: worn out writers and old ideas. No fresh meat or fresh ideas. There are great writers out there. But Marvel does not seem to want to hire them for fear of failure…or fear of different ideas that are way too out there. This part is rather ironic since for decades Marvel was challenging convention and government and pushing the limits of what you could have in a comic.
3. Writers who don't read source materials.
This can go to any writer of any comic books or television industry. If you are a writer who comes in and wants to do a book that includes a few characters, or you're adding on to an existing title, like Birds of Prey or Young Avengers, and you haven't read the source material, it shows. Let's look at a recent example. Kieron Gillen took over Young Avengers and while he claimed to have read source material it became evident that he skimmed it, if that. He failed to understand the characters, their backgrounds and importance, as well as their personalities. He took what Heinberg wrote and disregarded just about everything beyond the surface. There's fanfiction with better characterization than what Gillen brought to the table. This isn't the only example, but it's the freshest in my mind. Writers need to go back and take the time to understand the characters they are writing, otherwise what's the point? They might as well create their own characters.
4. Not Everything Has to Be Like the Marvel Cinematic Univerise (MCU)
Don't get me wrong. I adore the MCU. But character stories do not need to change to better emulate it. It would be like if everything became set in the Ultimate Universe just because it was the most popular book ever. That's insane. Comic Books should, nay, must be different from the movies. New readers are brought in by the movies and if they see the same thing, what's the point of reading? You do not have to change 30 years of continuity which has defined the characters just to push the MCU. The two should remain close to each other, but in the end different. This is of course excluding comics that are written specifically to tie into the MCU. This can also be applied to cartoons Marvel and Disney are producing. Use this as an opportunity to pull new viewers into the world of comics.
There was absolutely no reason to change Wanda and Pietro's backstory from mutants and children of Magneto…to…um…still not quite sure I understand. And while we're on the subject. Stop punishing the X-men for what Fox does. Half of the X-men are basically Avengers now anyway. Focus on the comics and making those into a profit too. Comics still matter.
5. Remember Questions of Morality are Fun.
Now that doesn't mean the story has to be so complex that everything ends up confusing. It means that a story needs to be rich. Take House of M, one of my favorite events, a complex story where the plot wasn't too congested. But the people were complex. Everyone was struggling with different ways of dealing with the Scarlet Witch, which proposes a moral question of what to do with a now mentally unstable, yet immensely powerful mutant? The world of M creates more moral dilemmas for the reader. Is this world better, for whom, and should the new world really be changed back if everyone got what they wanted. There is also an excellent question from a political perspective being brought up, who is in charge and how does policy effect people and whom does it benefit. Is the Monarchy of M somehow more morally superior? Stories can challenge us without confusing us.
I'm really enjoying the Robin's War saga from DC right now, partially because I get to see all the male Robin's in their natural habitat and partially because of the interesting moral question it poses of childhood heroes, and what it means to be a Robin. Plus, it's always fun to read a comic which shows government screwing up.
6. Enough with the Big Events.
Seriously. Marvel, I love you, but find a better way to advance your stories and your characters without having some large scale mess happening every six months. Bigger is not always better, like government. It was fun the first…three or so times you did it. Now it's getting old. Create storylines and blend characters. But not every event has to be cosmic because that's where you end up confusing and annoying your readers. Battle of the Atom started out well, but it seemed like the writers had no idea what the end would be and ended up with a really idiotic half-thought-out ending that created more problems than solutions. A good event that incorporates different teams has to have an ending that is at least thought out and not rushed.
7. Progressive does not equal good.
Okay so while Kamala Khan has grown on me, I still think forcing diversity and forcing progressiveness into anything is bad. If you want more LGBT…etc characters do it. Just do it with the same care you would show to your own children. Create those characters and don't change existing ones. Comic Book readers are interested in new characters that represent them. So create some new characters who are African-American, or Jewish, but stop with the race-bending, gender-bending, sexuality bending. It gets old after a while. Introduce me to new characters. Wow me. With that being said, don't marginalize the old characters and push them behind because someone thought they were outdated. Well written characters, old or new, are well written characters. When I got into comics I read Spider-Man and X-men. After a while, however I finally decided to pick up a comic like Runaways and Young Avengers, where I didn't know the characters. But I loved every moment of both of them.
8. Do not be afraid to push actual boundaries…in a good way.
Remember when Stan Lee said screw the Comic's Code Authority and published a comic about drug abuse without their seal of approval? Stan pushed what was the norm and created powerful stories that did make people angry and were controversial. Marvel, let's be honest, the last time you did something controversial…no one thanked you for making Iceman gay. How about this, which one of the genius writers thought it would be fun to make Spider-Woman a pregnant superhero about to pop? We had a pregnant woman with powers: Jessica Jones, remember her? She just had a TV show come out? Question decisions and question story suggestions.
9. Stop labeling everything you don't like as right-wing.
Don't give me that look, you did it with the Tea-Party, and you did it more recently with Sam Wilson, who I will only refer to as Falcon Cap. Falcon Cap was fighting against the Sons of the Serpent, who had previously fought the Avengers, and the Young Avengers. Apparently being put in a coma by a magical teen wasn't enough for them. They are racist, disgustingly anti-everything, and represent the KKK and White Supremacists in the Marvel Universe. They are not conservative. Nothing they believe in is in anyway conservative and if you are interested in learning what is, I will gladly help. Some of your characters are way more conservative than you realize, while we're on the subject. Yes! Comic Books are riddled with politics, but alienating and demonizing your own readers is only going to further hurt your sales. Conservative does not equal bad, evil or horrible, remember that.
Marvel, you are having problems, and its time to look at it with the Rose-Colored glasses off. Time to remember what made Marvel great and why people come out in droves to see every movie that's released. Let's remember where comics came from and remember that for them to succeed they have to continue to grow and change in a natural way, not forced to be progressive and edgy.

No, they should NOT be facing forward. However, if you use some elbow grease
you can pop the pauldrons off. Then you can reposition them properly. They should
stay in place, but if not, you may want to use some adhesive. NOTE: My pauldrons
came off ok, but there is resistance. I guess breakage is possible, but I haven't had
any issues. Good luck!

Wrap a belt (preferably with a holster) around the passenger seat. If it's a bench seat, run the belt vertically around the back and modify the holster as needed. Rivets work well. Put your gun in it; it's still OC. You could also mount a holster to the dash top or on a console. If you still think it would not be obvious to a LEO, be sure to mention it when approached.
Don't willingly give it up.
