How the Budweiser Frogs Illustrate the 3 C's of Leadership
The skills and behaviors of leadership are accessible to anyone with average intelligence. Being smart helps, but it isn't necessary.
Effective leadership is challenging, but the next step usually isn't complicated. The challenge is taking it.
(click the image to see the commercial)
3 C's of Meaningful Leadership:
The Budweiser commercial from 1995 illustrates three dynamic skills that lead to meaningful leadership.
One frog is a boring bud. Three frogs sell beer. (You really should watch the commercial.)
- Isolation limits effectiveness.
- Standing aloof dilutes influence.
Leaders need others. You'd look foolish running a meeting in an empty room.
Consider yourself 'one of', not 'one above'. A leadership role doesn't make you better than the people you work with.
The more you work-with the more effective you become.
Distance is ignorance, fear, arrogance, or all three.
Connection is as simple as:
- Genuine curiosity.
- Belief in others.
- Supporting people when they challenge themselves.
Each Budweiser Frog contributes.
Contribute-to if you aspire to connect-with.
Contribution enhances meaning and strengthens connection. Perhaps you aren't contributing-TO because you're worried about the contribution OF others.
Who are you fighting-for? Ineffective leaders fight-for themselves.
Stop fighting-with and start fighting-for those imperfect others on your team.
Never use the imperfection of others as reason to disconnect, stand aloof, and complain.
Conformity is the channel for meaningful contribution.
Think of individual musicians in an orchestra. Each brings their individual contribution in conformity or alignment with others.
You cannot do your own thing – in isolation – and contribute to something bigger than yourself.
A clear goal – along with talent, alignment, and humility – enables healthy conformity.
What leadership lessons might you see in the Budweiser Frogs?
What skills help leaders connect, contribute, and/or conform?

Searching for a laptop that is Oculus Rift ready? Want to buy one that suits your own budget?
UPDATE (2018): Best Oculus Rift Laptops in 2018!
In May 2015, Oculus representatives said that there is no compatible VR laptop that is powerful enough for Oculus Rift. Best laptops that were available carried a GTX 980m (mobile version), but it just wasnt enough due to being just a shadow next to a real GTX 980. Plus, Oculus has rewritten their Runtime software multiple times, making mobile chips not work at least 95% of the time. If your laptop worked with DK1 or with older Runtime, don't expect it to work with Oculus Rift CV1, or even DK2 now.
Luckily, after some latest hard work from GPU companies, a non-mobile GPU has been squeezed into laptops, making it fully compatible with Oculus Rift. Even Oculus themselves confirmed it:
The new GTX 980 notebook offers a great portable option for the Oculus #Rift. We're excited to see high-performance notebooks powering #VR!
— Oculus (@oculus) September 22, 2015
So you can safely say that laptops have had a love/hate relationship with Oculus and their customer base. On one side, finding these kind of laptops that are powerful enough to make Oculus Rift work well with no framedrops, takes some time. But considering how many people actually do want to purchase a portable VR set, making this list is least I can do to help y'all.
These laptops ain't cheap, but if you are serious about having a VR Oculus Rift set that you can take with you everywhere, these are the ONLY ones powerful enough and AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW:
Let's get started with the cheapest one. In no way it's cheap in grand scheme of things, but it's the cheapest one in the market that supports Oculus Rift.
However, it doesn't necessarily mean it performs bad. As you see in the amazon reviews, some consider it as "the best VR laptop on the market" and use it to power Oculus Rift, as well as HTC Vive (probably to showcase it).
With a real GTX 980 squeezed into GT72S, all the other laptops with their mobile graphics card can't even come close to what this one offers. According to results, GTX980 performs better than GTX 980M by almost 30%. This is one of the main reasons that Oculus has given their seal of approval to laptops such as this.Apart from a beastly GPU, GT72S features Skylake (new architecture) based CPU called 6820HK. This i7 intel processor can do everything you ask him of, and does not bottleneck your GPU. 6820k has 4 real cores, unlike other dual core processors in most laptops. With hyper threading it can even have an 8 core performance. Even though CPU doesn't pay a big part in the VR world, having a good one installed just in case isn't a bad idea.
All this insane hardware packed inside a laptop does affect battery life, so be sure to have a charger nearby. Travelling around with this notebook can be tiresome to some degree as it weighs more than usual laptops.
The sound quality of speakers is really good, so if you decide to show it to others in the room and you have no external speakers, you can safely rely on GT72S' audio quality.
Overall, it shames other portable computers, and is one of the cheapest ones that supports Oculus Rift.
Best place to buy: Amazon
By looking at this thing, you won't even believe how powerful it actually is. It is so powerful that in order for you to not burn your hands on the palm rest area, keyboard has been placed lower. Want to fry some eggs? No problem, just crack a shell above the keyboard, and your dinner will be ready in no time.
Seriously though, there is not a single notebook out there that is as powerful as GT80S Titan SLI. Hence the price obviously. It is packed with not one, but two GTX 980 GPU's, making it completely unheard of in the laptop world. If you've followed VR a bit, you are aware of the benefits that GTX 900 cards have over the older ones. They support Gameworks VR drivers that are designed specifically for virtual reality, and their HMD devices. Performance boost from Gameworks VR is supposedly around 30-50% gain. Plus, Gameworks VR allows you for the first time take full advantage of SLI systems, meaning your two video cards will come in handy as each GPU will power each eye on Oculus Rift.It has a i7-6920HQ processor, which is the latest and one of the top Skylake CPU's in the world. With Skylake architecture you get a lot more performance, as well as superior Hyper-Threading functions.
GT80S TITAN SLI could be basically called as a custom-made notebook for VR. There is no other reason for designers and developers to work as hard to manufacture this beast, if not for the rising demand of VR we see today. I see an infinite amount of posts and threads, comments on my site, asking me what kind of laptop should they buy, and finally we get an answer. GT80S is a savage, that will completely and utterly burn your pants.
Best Place to Buy: Amazon
Other Laptops
Apart from the ones I mentioned, these are also equipped with GTX 980, but most of them are not even out yet:
ASUS GX700VO (G-SYNC, Water-Cooled)
We don't know the exact price yet, but they are probably in the same realm as the ones above, since squeezing in such powerhouses isn't exactly cheap. But, if you are absolutely sure that you want to go with a portable option, these are the ones to consider.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to type it below!

Welcome for funding announcement for new Blueway access in Newcastle village – McGrath, Lonergan and Molloy
Independent representatives Deputy Mattie McGrath, Mayor Cllr. Richie Molloy and Deputy Mayor Cllr. Martin Lonergan have warmly welcomed the announcement by Minister of State for Community and Rural Development, Michael Ring TD that a further allocation of €156,000 will be allocated towards the River Suir Blueway Canoe Trail which will hopefully directly link Newcastle Village into this important and significant tourism and recreational amenity.
Commenting on the announcement Deputy McGrath stated, "The 2018 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding for the development and maintenance of outdoor amenities such as greenways, blueways and other trails. Under the 2018 scheme, applications were invited under three measures and now under Measure 2 – Medium scale repair/upgrade and development of new small/medium infrastructure (up to €200,000 grant) I am delighted to welcome this funding towards an access point near Newcastle Village.
78 projects to the value of €10.87 million under Measure 2 have now been announced. In total, 97 applications amounting to just over €13.2 million were received in respect of Measure 2. I also want to acknowledge Fáilte Ireland who are co-funding this Measure with the Department to the tune of €3 million euro. I have no doubt that this funding will greatly enhance the Blueway experience and bring Newcastle Village into the heart of that experience, in terms of culture, history and the betterment of the local community."
Deputy Mayor of Clonmel/Cahir Borough District, Cllr Martin Lonergan added, "As a local authority representative for the area, I am delighted to welcome this announcement. I have always stated that as part of the Blueway Project, the accessibility of all communities along the River Suir was of the utmost of importance, especially Newcastle and Ardfinnan along with other communities along the banks of the Suir. We can now see that from Cahir Town to Carrick on Suir, most Communities will have an access and egress area from the River Suir which will; I would hope, greatly increase activities on the Suir and indeed bring extra footfall into our local communities along the route from Cahir to Ardfinnan, Newcastle, Clonmel and Kilsheelan. I want to thank everyone involved in continuing to develop this important amenity within the Local Authority, both former and current and I have no doubt it will continue to be a major asset to the Borough District."
The Mayor of Clonmel/Cahir Borough District, Cllr. Richie Molloy said, "We are now moving into a new era in rebuilding our relationship with the River Suir following the implementation of the Flood Relief Plan in areas such as Cahir, Ardfinnan, Newcastle and Clonmel. Projects that the Local Authority has embarked upon signal a new confidence towards accessibility to the River Suir and the promotion of recreational use of this natural and beautiful amenity. This further funding will promote usage of the river and this has always been the main objective. For a relatively small investment it will bring so much value to the towns and villages involved in the years to come."

Home More advice Computers & Tech
There was a blind test done by Bing and it won, comparatively to Google. You can partake in it still, all you need to do is visit Bing and there will be a pop-up on the page or you can go to bingiton.com
I tried out Bing and it's definitely more spot on that Google can be at times.
Bing is a more narrow search related to what your looking for or less "cluttered" you might say. Although google is very thorough, there are alot of links that you don't really need sometimes. I use Bing quite often for this reason.
If you want more precision with Google, you can just place certain key words in quotation marks and that will automatically refine the search :D. You undoubtedly already knew that, but I must defend Google at all costs!

What would you...
Or I could spend it on one meal. Yep, you read that right. I know a man who was visiting California along with three colleagues. His colleagues called him up and said join us for dinner. When he arrived they had already finished off a couple of bottles of champagne and ordered several appetizers. Then they were ready to order the food, the meat they ordered ran just $28 an ounce!!! They ordered it in pounds. The man I know doesn't drink, so he ate his food and sipped his club soda. Then it was time for the bill, $2300!!! One of the colleagues also said, make sure you give the waitress a fair tip of $500!
All I know is if I am ever going to become a waitress, I know where I am applying.
5 comments:
That's unbelievable! I thought stuff like that only existed in the movies. Good grief. I will apply with you.ReplyDelete
Reminds me of expensive dinners when we lived in NYC.. as the only non drinkers we were always a little concerned at how to split the bill at the end...? Often they would go.. oh 50/50 is fine right?? As we spit out our diet coke!ReplyDelete
It's living like this that has ruined this country. It makes me fume inside when I read about the $23,000 hamburger or the $12,000 ice cream sunday that's covered in actual gold. Ack!ReplyDelete
WOW! Poor guy needs a bailout just for his dinner bill --ReplyDelete
Can I just say that those collegues were J.E.R.K.S.
Holy. Cow.
Kathy, the guys company did cover the bill as it was a company trip.. but he was not happy having to approach his boss and tell him what the bill is to say the least.ReplyDelete
Carissa, you are right 50/50 is hardly ever fair as there is someone that always takes advantage of this and orders something really expensive and expensive drinks to go along with it.

More companies than care to admit have no idea how much branded content they are publishing on the Internet everyday, with even less knowing exactly where it all lives. In our desire to deliver knowledge, news, and marketing messages to our target audiences, we often start pumping out content without too much worry about tracking where it resides, or about developing a solid strategy behind its purpose and delivery. Not only is this sloppy, it is irresponsible.
Content is everywhere on the Internet. And where there's content, there should be a content strategy behind it. If you don't currently have a solid content strategy behind your content generation, it's past time to sit down and develop one. This will only make your content better. There are some preliminary steps that need to be taken in order for you to develop a solid content strategy. You must know exactly what content of yours currently exists online, where it all lives, and what it is about. You can gather and record all of this information by conducting a content audit.
Content Audit Explained
A web content audit is a full record of all the content your business currently has published online. This task can be very tedious and time consuming for larger websites, but the finished product is extremely valuable to your business. Without a content audit, you are blindly publishing content on your website or sending it out into the Inter-Web without a clue to where it is going. Think of it this way: Would you send your college freshman off to college without knowing where to find them?
You spent 18 years preparing them to take on the real world, to say 'no' to peer pressure, and taught them how to manage money and making (wise) decisions – wouldn't you want to at least know their dorm room and phone number? Possibly have their mailing and email address in your iPhone? With a content audit, you not only have your content's dorm mailing address, but you also know what it is wearing on its first day to English 101.
Your business can make informed decisions about any form of web content project. You can find marketing message gaps that need to be filled. Maybe you are leaning too heavy on one primary marketing message and ignoring the other two. By knowing what content you have, you can then determine what content you need. So, how do you record all of this precious information!?! With a content inventory, of course!
What is a Content Inventory? The Content Inventory is one of the best audit tools you can use for this process. During your audit, you will be clicking through every single page of your website and any other web content your organization is responsible for, and recording everything you find into a document called a content inventory.
The Almighty Spreadsheet A content inventory is usually a spreadsheet that captures information for each web page you are responsible for creating, reviewing, or caring for. These spreadsheets are organized like an outline with each page clearly labeled in its appropriate section. Here is what a content inventory can look like:
The amount of detail and explanation for each page is up to you or your business objectives. Let's go through the most highly recommended areas of information to be gathered, one column at a time.
Page ID You will need to establish a clear labeling system for each web page. As you can see from my example, I labeled our home page "0.0", while our home page tabs each received a subsequent whole number.
Once you get deeper into the site, you will want to start using appropriate decimal numbers for page ID. Are there three sub-landing pages on your "About Us" page? Use 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. Capiche?
Page Name You don't need an English degree from "Havahd" to fill out this column. Enter in the name of the page that most appropriately describes it. Most of your main pages will have straightforward names: Home Page, About Us, Sitemap, Contact Us, Our Team, Company Blog, etc.
When you get deeper into your site and the content is a little more unclear, you can start using that creative brain of yours to name it correctly.
Page Title
The Page Title is what appears at the top of your browser, just above the URL box, when you are currently on a certain page. Here is one from our website:
If you properly search engine optimized your site, these page titles should include your primary keywords and your company name and/or slogan. Enter these page titles into your next column. This not only helps with content siloing, but search engine optimization decisions as well.
Page Address
The Page Address column is simply used to record the web page's URL:
Just copy and paste it into this cell and you're good to go. (or use Mac short keys: command + C – command + V)
Page Description This last column is where the task gets tedious. Use this column to describe–in detail–every piece of content on each web page: the headline, the body copy, links, modules installed, calls to action, PDFs and other downloads, videos, forms, shopping carts, registrations, etc. For larger, more complex sites, this column is very helpful to those not intimate with the website itself.
Optional Columns
- Content Creator - this column notes who is responsible for creating, approving, publishing, and maintaining this specific content.
- Content Location - this column is slightly different than the URL column. If you have a larger site, there could be situation where content sits on different servers or platforms. Is it in your CMS? Is it published on an affiliate site? Use this column to record this information.
This Is A Process, Not A Project
A content inventory is an ongoing process. As content is created, edited, deleted, or moved, you need to adjust your spreadsheet accordingly. It may wise to assign this responsible to someone in your company who is passionate about content and has a strategic approach to projects. You may also want to ensure they have the time to conduct such an important process. If you or your company does not have the time or resources to add this process to someone's job capacity, then you can execute a quick, quantitative audit on your site. This is the same spreadsheet with just raw, definitive data about each page on your site. No detailed explanation of every module, node, and link that graces the page. Keep it sweet and simple.

Odis Jones has an "optimistic vision" for Missouri City. The municipality's eighth Chief Administrative Officer was recently sworn in by Mayor Yolanda Ford to serve the residents and City Manager Jones sat down with MCTV for an exclusive conversation to discuss challenges the City faces, and ideas for the future of the community.
"First off, I want to say to the residents, I'm truly humbled for the opportunity to serve Missouri City, and I'm excited to get to know them," Jones said. "I've spent the last 20 to 25 years of my life helping communities grow, and I'm looking forward to working with the Mayor, the Council and the citizens to implement their vision for the community."
Jones was appointed as the City's new Chief Executive Officer after a nationwide search. According to Mayor Ford, Jones stood out as the top candidate due to his successful track record as a collaborative and seasoned executive with more than two decades of expertise in managing complex governmental operations and economic development organizations. He has managed a budget of more than $250 million and 1,500 employees during his career.
"He comes to us by way of Hutto and the City was in a financial strain when he got there, and he was able to bring resolution to the situation," said Mayor Ford. "That was something that was very impressive to me as well as his economic development experience that he brings to the table."
Economic development is a key issue in Missouri City, particularly along the Texas Parkway and Cartwright Road Corridors. One Council priority is to bring development and redevelopment to this area in an attempt to lighten the property tax burden for residents.
"Texas Parkway is an important gateway corridor through the City and we have to pay attention to it," City Manager Jones said. He added that "there are also a lot of exciting things happening throughout the City and we are paying attention to those initiatives as well."
Mayor Ford added: "Texas Parkway and Cartwright Road have kind of been a sore spot. With this priority and the opportunities we have going on all over the City, we're making sure the entire community is developing efficiently and working efficiently.
With any new CEO comes an introductory phase. As part of his operational oversight, Jones is regularly meeting with Members of Council and departments heads. He is also scheduling meetings with residents and stakeholders to discuss key issues, keeping in mind the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"CEO 101 says you take the time to not only evaluate an organization, but as Abraham Lincoln said, 'You get out amongst the troops.' I intend to get out and mingle and get to know people," Jones said. "Although we're dealing with COVID, a lot of it will be virtual. Additionally, I really want to get out with the Mayor and Councilmembers to have a listening tour in the community."
And despite the societal crises involved with the pandemic, City Manager Jones knows how to spot a silver lining.
"Our sales tax actually went up during COVID. That shows that if given the opportunity, the community will stay here and shop here," he said. "I'm looking at how do we take this tragic story of COVID and turn it into a great story for Missouri City."
Mr. Jones has already toured City districts and has visited the municipal amenities—Quail Valley Golf Course, City Centre, Recreation & Tennis Center, Community Center and Visitors Center. During his visits, he saw the value each location brings to the City, and he knows these amenities are key assets to the City's economic success.
"The [Quail Valley] golf course is a jewel for the City," he said. "Not only is it a great place to do entertaining and events, but from a marketing and development standpoint, it's an opportunity to conduct business."
City Manager Jones cited a study performed by USA Today that shows executives prefer to live close to their office, and with Missouri City being home to many executives, his goal is to foster those relationships to help grow the community.
"We need to figure out what is the next step from a development standpoint. The center of all of that is community participation," he said. "What I want to do is work with some of the CEOs who live here and who have experience in marketing and development so we as a community can move forward together, and that's how we take that next step."
As the City continues to evolve, one focus area is becoming a "smart city," meaning the City as a whole stays on the cutting edge of technology and innovation. Jones acknowledged the Council initiative to replace City lights with LED fixtures, and also commended the efforts by the City to be more energy efficient.
Jones understands that as the community adapts to the growth of technology, the City must keep the driving force—the younger generation—in mind when it comes to planning for the future.
"Young people today look at YouTube, TV and apps like Twitter and they don't have the old cable. We need to make sure their creativity is embedded in what we do," he said. "We need to allow them to lead and get them out in front as well. I want to establish a youth leadership committee here at City Hall. They have a different way of moving and we need to embrace that."
One area of operations the City prides itself on is transparency, not only when it comes to finances but also with operations as a whole. Mr. Jones sees this segment of government as a way to ensure the residents are being served properly as this is a way to bridge the gap between the government and the community.
Among the projects Mr. Jones has initiated is a new centralized strategic communications plan that he says will help improve how the City communicates both internally and externally, which in turn will strengthen the City's transparency.
"When it comes to transparency, we have a really good technology base, and we need to use those resources when it comes to communicating," he said.
Although finance and economic development are two of the biggest goals Jones has, his plan for growth is based around a customer-service focus. As residents and businesses are vital customers for the City, Mr. Jones wants to ensure everybody is treated with the highest quality of service.
"I really believe the customer is always right. I want customers to let us know what we are doing well and what we need to be better at. At the end of the day, it's about making sure the customer gets what they need, and that they get it in a timely manner."
Mr. Jones knows some of the City's challenges are being amplified due to COVID, but he also understands it is his obligation to the residents to keep pushing the City forward and ensuring a maximum level of success and quality of life.
"I'm optimistic about putting us in a position where we can win," City Manager Jones said. "And by that I mean achieving those visions that Council has and having the wins be advancements the community can be proud of. I'm excited about that."
If residents, businesses and stakeholders would like to meet with Mr. Jones, they may submit a request to do so on the City Website via this link: https://bit.ly/2PkN4Fd.

Perez Hilton to Debut Clothing Line
Notorious blogger and "Queen of All Media," Perez Hilton, can now also call himself a "designer."
On Tuesday, Perez announced plans to introduce a clothing and accessories line, to be sold exclusively at Hottopic.com and in all Hot Topic stores nationwide.
Perez Hilton for Hot Topic will feature women's t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. Hilton, who's real name is Mario Lavandeira, said the decision to put his name behind a line of clothing and accessories seemed like a natural next step.
"2008 is all about expanding the Perez Brand," the blogger explained. "I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what's hot and what's not."
Perez, who says his celebrity website, Perezhilton.com, is more popular than MySpace among women aged 18-25, said he can't wait to share his new line with fans.
Hilton's site has reached remarkable heights as a "go-to" for celebrity gossip, despite a consistency of snarky comments and crude drawings he is famous for inserting over photos of prominent and some not-so-prominent celebrities.
Hilton says the success of his website encouraged him to look beyond the boundaries of cyberspace.
"It seems natural to make products that my readers will love and hopefully some guys will rock it too," he said. "Some people might even call me a perfectionist, well that person would be me! I'm very passionate about my brand. I have extremely high standards and I like to get my hands dirty!"
The line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades--just to name a few.
- A Public Affair! Inside Jessica Simpson's 5 Most Iconic Outfits — Get The Looks
- Prime Day: Get Ahead Of The Holidays With These Best-Selling Gifts For Fashion Lovers — Shop Now
- Bodegas & Jeweled Bodices: OK!'s Exclusive Look Into Pamella Roland's Inspiration For Her 20th Anniversary NYFW Show & SS23 Collection
The celebrity blogger also plans to sell tote bags, socks and earrings, and says fans will even be able to buy their own Perez Hilton journal, so they can be as nasty as P-Nasty himself.
"I'm most excited to finally see on the shelves products that are good and affordable for my readers," Hilton said. "I actively sought out Hot Topic for that reason."
And if you think Perez is following in the footsteps of other Hollywood starlets who seem to be attaching their names to anything and everything, think again!
"I keep seeing these lines from the likes of Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag that give me nightmares," he says. "My brand will be very conscious of my audience."
Well, it wouldn't be true Perez style without a little dig at the end, now would it?

Taylor Swift Takes Over Texas
November 5, 2015
Taylor Swift is one of the most successful and widely known artists in the music industry. She's become so successful, in fact, that she's been able to sell out Arlington's AT&T Stadium—which seats nearly 60,000 people—four times. And I had the privilege of getting to see her perform her incredible 1989 tour. And yes, you should be jealous, because the show was like a giant, up-beat dance party hosted by one of the biggest pop performers in the world.
Here's how it got started. I hustled into the stadium with thousands and thousands of other teenage girls with their mothers, sisters, best friends, and the occasionally dad, brother, or boyfriend who somehow got dragged along to the fangirl fest. Although, let's be honest, even the guys found themselves jamming out to "Shake It Off" by the end of the show. Nearly everyone seemed to have shown up in various costumes involving tutus, cat ears, lit-up signs, and there were even a couple of impressively accurate Taylor impersonators in the mix. Everyone was dressed to party.
After waiting in line for around thirty minutes for a hot dog, fries and soda (which was actually delicious and totally worth the wait) my mom and I took our seats and noticed all the seats had a strange-looking bracelet taped to the back. We wouldn't find out what these were for until later.
In an instant, Shawn Mendes walked on stage. Que the extremely loud, fangirlish screaming. I was in absolute awe, as I'd been a huge fan of Mendes' for a few years now and was absolutely psyched to see him live. But nothing could've prepared me for when he came on that stage, with just his guitar and angelic voice. My jaw dropped instantly with the first notes of his stunning ballad, "Life Of The Party."
For those of you who are unaware of the great talent that is Shawn Mendes, he is a seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter who went viral doing a cover of Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me" on Vine. Like Bieber, he got his start on social media, using Youtube and Vine as his platform, and is also Canadian. Mendes' biggest hit thus far is "Stitches," which is very likely that song you've been hearing on all the radio stations constantly and can't get out of your head. If you haven't heard any of his other songs, I highly recommend you look him up. Anyways, I was dumbstruck at how incredible he performed live, and I didn't think it was possible, but he sounded even better than he does recorded. Even when he left the stage, I was still shaking with elation and giddiness.
After Shawn, Vance Joy performed, and although I was not familiar with his music, I was quickly charmed by his humbleness, curly hair and lovely Australian accent. He's also very handy with a guitar and had a sort of laid-back, chill, earthy vibe that I took a liking to easily. I didn't actually recognize who he was until his last song when he performed his biggest tune, "Riptide," which has also been taking over the radio. I was pleasantly surprised as he performed each of his songs with passion and awesome talent, yet still he showed winsome modesty. I may have come to the show not knowing his music, but I left knowing that I had to check out his work, and I did.
Finally, when Taylor came on, I was not emotionally prepared at all. Although I was pumped from her two astoundingly amazing opening acts, I was not ready when she burst onto the stage belting out "Welcome to New York." It was surreal to see such a huge internationally known artist live in front of my eyes. After finishing the first song, there was this incredible, still moment when Swift looked stood in the center of the stage, smiling in awe at the 60,000 of us beaming with excitement and indescribable energy.
The rest of the show consisted of some excellently choreographed songs, gorgeous, sparkling outfits, and one particularly slowed down and dramatized rendition of "Trouble," one of my all-time favorites. I was impressed with how wonderfully she sings live. The biggest highlight of the show was when Taylor's guest performer, Ellie Goulding, came on to perform "Love Me Like You Do," and the whole crowd was up and dancing and screaming the lyrics together.
When the show ended and the crowd dispersed and the screaming stadium went silent, all I could say was, "I can't believe that actually happened."

When Anahita Avestaei's father died in Iran earlier this month, she couldn't attend his funeral. Blacklisted from returning to Iran due to her work with a human rights NGO, the 30-year old had been granted asylum in the United States two years after arriving as a law student in 2010. Unable to go home after her father's death, she made plans to meet with her mother in a third country in the coming weeks — in the hopes of at least mourning together.
But now, thanks to President Trump's executive order restricting the travel rights of Iranian nationals and others, those plans have been cancelled. Not only will she be unable to meet her mother, her future in the United States is being called into question by the major policy changes being enacted by the Trump administration.
Although Avestaei has a green card, she is now unable to travel outside the United States for fear of being barred from reentry. "I thought I was going to see my mom soon, but now it can't happen," Avestaei told me. "I really wish would not wish this feeling on anyone. To lose a family member while you are abroad and can't come home. You feel guilty, as though you abandoned your family."
Avestaei is just one of countless ordinary people whose lives have been upended by Trump's recent actions. Despite widespread public outcry, more changes may be one the way. Trump's executive order specifically targets nationals of Libya, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. But in an interview on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said that the order could expand in the near future, hinting that countries like Egypt and Pakistan may be targeted as well.
Priebus gave conflicting information in his interview about the impact on green card holders currently residing in the United States. A Department of Homeland Security statement earlier this weekend said that the measures would apply to green cards. But a statement issued later in the day by DHS Secretary John Kelley said that all lawful permanent residents should be granted the ability to enter the country, absent "significant derogatory information." Amid widespread fear and confusion, many immigration attorneys have been advising clients who are not U.S. citizens to avoid traveling outside the country.
Iranian nationals in the United States — due to their precarious political situation and large diaspora — are among the groups most impacted by these new measures. The Iranian diaspora in the United States numbers in the hundreds of thousands, many of whom arrived after the 1979 revolution in that country. Partly as a consequence of geopolitical tensions, the U.S. has long been a haven for Iranian dissidents and activists fleeing their government.
But following Trump's exclusion order, the position of vulnerable Iranians living in the U.S. has rapidly deteriorated. Unable to travel outside the country and facing the possibility of having their green cards annulled in the future, people like Avestaei have suddenly been trapped in a dangerous legal gray zone.
Part of the problem has been the chaos and confusion with which the executive orders have been issued. Trita Parsi of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) criticized the administration for repeatedly changing its messaging on the facts surrounding the executive order. "This is really banana-republic style," Parsi said. "It was already extremely difficult for Iranians to get into the United States."
Trump's executive order also extends to dual-nationals of other countries, with the result that even prominent Western political figures with roots in Iran and other targeted countries have now found themselves barred from entry.
Due to the huge number of Iranians resident in the United States and their often difficult political relationship with their home country, Parsi said that, "Iranian Americans are affected more than anyone else [by the executive order], almost more than everyone else combined."
On its website, NIAC issued a statement calling on the Trump administration to permit a grace period in the executive order to "enable all lawful permanent residents, dual nationals and visa holders from Iran and the other targeted countries to return to the United States to reunite with their families and return to their daily lives."
But despite massive protests and legal challenges, the administration has signaled that it will fight efforts to halt the ban, while working to expand it.
For Anahita Avestaei, Trump's executive order has called into question the new life she has been trying to build in the United States upon receiving asylum here. After originally arriving here to complete her legal studies, she was unexpectedly banished from returning to Iran after running afoul of the government by volunteering with a human rights group in the United States. Now she faces a future where she is both endangered in Iran and unwelcome in the U.S.
"Its not easy to leave your home, to leave your family, your neighbors, your cat. I never expected that I would have to leave them and make a new life here, but I have been trying," she told me. "But now to have the country that you're wishing to be your new home do everything it can to tell you that you are not welcome, that you're not wanted here, it is too emotionally draining."
"I can never feel safe anymore and it feels terrible. It is the worst feeling ever."


text: (2018) Margaret River is a small, high-quality appellation in Western Australia. Its ocean-influenced climate is one secret to its renowned Cabernet Sauvignon wines, which often makes a nod towards a European style. Howard Park's 2012 from the Leston single vineyard is a beauty. Eighteen months in French oak has given a polished sheen to the deep pool of glossy blackcurrant fruit, with a hint of mint and cocoa, but also a little dusty briar and olive so typical of Cabernet Sauvignon. In the mouth that really lovely combination of the supple, plush black fruit with creaminess of oak, but firm tannin and the whole picture tensioned by keen acidity to give structure and extra length. Finishing on fruit, spice and fine-grained tannins, a really terrific Cabernet. Watch the video for more information, and note that by the case the price falls to around £20 per bottle.

Today, February 20th, is the first day that NFL teams can start placing the franchise tags on their players. Each team has one franchise tag that they can use for the 2012 season. Football Outsiders has a good breakdown of the anticipated cap numbers for offensive players here and defensive players here. Teams have until March 5th to franchise a player.
The Titans probably will not use a franchise tag this year. They really only have two players that they might even consider using the tag on- Cortland Finnegan and Michael Griffin.
It is pretty clear that they do not plan to go down that road with Finny. His number would be somewhere around $10 million. That would be about 1/3 of the cap space they have available for 2012.
It is unlikely they use it on Griffin unless Jerry Gray really thinks he can get Griff back to his Pro Bowl level. There is no doubt the ability is there, but something just has not clicked yet. Both parties would probably benefit from a chance of scenery.
There probably won't be a lot of guys who are franchised until closer to the deadline, but there will probably be some big names that end up on the list. The two biggest names that are likely to get the tag are Drew Brees in New Orleans and Ray Rice in Baltimore.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy
"One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." — Albert Camus

I have a meeting with Harvard Professor Max Bazerman today. As most readers will know, Professor Bazerman is world renowned for his research on negotiations and judgment in managerial decision making. He also studies bounded awareness and ethicality, societal decision making, and want/should conflicts. Along with collaborators Don Moore, Francesca Gino, and Lisa Shu, Professor Bazerman's recent research dives into several aspects of "Moral Luck" discussed previously. In preparation for the meeting I created the following visual to better explain some of my thinking on the topic. I am happy to share it here on http://www.prospecttheory.net/.

Great experience, from initial contact through to final invoice payment. Painters (Wendy & Max) were careful, considerate, thorough, and professional. The estimate and work in progress accounting was fair, transparent, and responsive. Highly recommended.
SFW from start to finish on my two decks were exemplary. Alex and Bryan supervised their team and were kind, professional and kept me in the loop every step. They were also very clean and timely. I highly recommend this company for any of your construction needs.

Food is about more than just sustenance: Flavor, taste, texture and appearance are to be considered, too. Most people have a favorite food or a meal, something that stimulates the senses and gets the saliva glands, ever so discreetly, drooling in anticipation.
Students at Kapiolani Community College are taking the idea of their favorite meals one step further.
By drawing their idea of a fantasy meal, students are using food as inspiration for a project in Art 112: Introduction to Digital Arts.
"I want them to taste the food, smell the food and see the color," said instructor Karen Jones, a former art director for Island Scene magazine and part-time teacher at the school. "Both in food and design, you have to think creatively."
In her two classes, students are encouraged to look at ordinary vittles in another light.
It's a tradition for students in the New Media department: spending multiple weeks in Art 112, capturing the foods that get the imagination going.
The subject may be food on the surface, but the emphasis is more on learning to draw these mental fantasy meals, as well as mastering design principles and developing technical skills in such software programs as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
For some students, it's their first attempt at drawing on the computer screen, and the challenge is at once both easy and daunting: easy enough to conjure up a personal fantasy meal, but challenging to illustrate with only the click and drag of an unwieldy pen tool.
"Sometimes the hard part is the details," said student Yvette Coloma, 18, who drew a scene of a pizza birthday party and presents for herself.
Ideas of sumptuous meals vary from person to person: Sushi, steak and dessert-themed fantasies played across the screens of the 15 students, intently staring at their Macintoshes during a Tuesday-night class.
Before the assignment began, Jones encouraged her students to go to markets and coffee shops, to look at fresh fruits and vegetables at grocery stores and then people-watch at a Starbucks.
Patisserie major Reri Wright, 20, drew 10 sketches, eventually settling on one her late father would have enjoyed: bowls of the Portuguese bean soup that her father would cook for the family at Christmastime.
"It takes me back to a memory of another time," said Wright, a pastry chef at Roy's, who plans further study in Switzerland once she completes her degree.
"We are all interested in food -- if we don't eat, we die. But more than that, people like food," said Jones.
She tells her students to get in touch with their senses when they're relying on their imaginations, using items such as fruits and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts for the classes to touch, taste and smell.
"I brought in a box of chocolates, had them each take a chocolate, then I'd say close your eyes, smell the chocolate, feel the texture and listen to the crinkle of plastic on the box. Then taste it and listen to the snap of the chocolate and examine the contrast of the crunching," said Jones.
"But it's really about reinterpreting it for yourself and getting to think visually," she said. "That and learning to think creatively, technical skills, expressing yourself and have fun."

Many businesses have tangible assets that they need to protect. These can include things like machinery, real estate and other supplies and materials. This is property that can be seen and touched. However, this is not the case for all businesses. Some businesses in New York have intangible property. This is property that may not necessarily be able to be held or touched, but is still as valuable as some of these other types of assets.
Often, this intangible property is called intellectual property. Intellectual property can be an integral part of a New York business' assets. If this intellectual property is violated, the business can lose money and begin to fail. Therefore, steps need to be taken to keep intellectual property safe.
There are a variety of legal protections available for intellectual property, including copyrights. New York businesses should understand when certain intellectual property protections are available and when they are not. For example, copyrights are only available in specific situations.
Copyrights help to protect original work created by an author. This includes dramatic works, musical work and literary work. However, copyrights go beyond this and can also protect architectural designs, movies and motion pictures, sculptures, pictures, choreography and more. Each of these categories is broadly defined and covers a variety of specific artistic work. Copyrights do not protect certain intellectual property such as short phrases, ideas, slogans, procedures, discoveries or other such explanations.
It is important for New York businesses to understand when a copyright can be used to protect them. A copyright infringement or other intellectual property violation could be serious for eight New York business. In many cases, this requires legal action to protect the company's intellectual property rights.

Advice on Selecting Your Classes
Registration Reminders
Study Away
Program of Study Guidelines
Students in the College of Arts and Science complete all five components of the College Core Curriculum:
The First-Year Seminar Program
The Expository Writing Program
Study of a foreign language
Foundations of Contemporary Culture (FCC)
Foundations of Scientific Inquiry (FSI)
Outside of CAS, participation in the Core varies by school and program. Students in
other divisions should therefore consult their academic advisers for specific information
about how the Core pertains to them.
The Core affords students flexibility in a number of ways. It permits a choice of different
tracks in each component, the satisfaction of some courses by examination or Advanced
Placement credit (foreign language, FSI), and the substitution of departmental courses
and exemptions based on major and minor courses of study (FSI, parts of FCC).
Given this flexibility, students in CAS work individually with advisers to plan course
schedules that take into account their past preparation, current interests, and longer-term
goals. While there is no prescribed schedule of courses that will be appropriate for every
student, the following broad guidelines should be kept in mind.
As an incoming student, you should normally aim to complete your Core courses by
the end of sophomore year. This will leave you free in your junior and senior years to
focus on your major and to take elective courses. Some science and social science majors,
engineering students, prehealth students, and students placed in the International Writing
Workshop sequence may have to delay starting, and thus finishing, a part of the Core for
a semester or more. Students who study away from New York may also need to delay
completing their Core courses beyond sophomore year.
In designing the Core, the faculty sought to assure that all students would receive a
broad exposure to the liberal arts early in their college careers. With this wide academic
horizon, the Core encourages students to discover new intellectual interests outside their
intended areas of specialization and to pursue those interests with elective courses outside
their majors in their later undergraduate years.
First-Year Seminar: See the First-Year Seminar website for complete details.
Expository Writing: Students must complete Writing the Essay (EXPOS-UA 1)
during their first year. Those placed into the Liberal Studies Writing or International
Writing Workshop sequences must begin in their first semester and must register for their
remaining writing course(s) in the semester(s) immediately following.
Foreign Language: See the foreign language section of this website for complete
Foundations of Contemporary Culture: During their first year, students normally
complete a class from Texts and Ideas (CORE-UA 4xx) and one from Cultures and
Contexts (CORE-UA 5xx), in either order. In the sophomore year, students chose classes
from Societies and the Social Sciences (CORE-UA 6xx) and from Expressive Culture
(CORE-UA 7xx), again in either order. Student who complete a designated major or minor
program in the social sciences are exempt from Societies and the Social Sciences. Those
who complete a designated major or minor program in the humanities are exempted from
Expressive Culture. Students who complete majors in each area, who complete a joint
major designated in both areas, or who complete a major in one area and a minor in the
other, may satisfy both components. See the Exemptions, Substitutions, and Proficiency
Exams section of this website for a list of the area designations of major and minor
programs in the College.
Foundations of Scientific Inquiry: Students choose one course in Quantitative
Reasoning (CORE-UA 1xx), followed by one in the physical sciences from Natural
Science I (CORE-UA 2xx), and then one in the biological sciences from Natural Science
II (CORE-UA 3xx). Completion of or exemption from Quantitative Reasoning is a
prerequisite for both Natural Science I and II. It is recommended that students complete
Natural Science I before Natural Science II. See the Exemptions, Substitutions, and
Proficiency Exams section of this website for information about satisfying parts of the
FSI with Advanced Placement credit or through the substitution of departmental courses.
Advice on Selecting Your Core Classes
Tips from students about choosing your courses:
Find out all you can about the faculty member teaching the class. Although Core classes
are non-departmental, faculty members obviously each have a particular disciplinary or
methodological bent. Look at the instructor's course evaluations (available in the Student
Center on Albert) and departmental affiliation (included with the course descriptions
on this website). Also, check out his or her faculty profile.
Read the course description. Look at the reading lists for different sections, especially in
Texts and Ideas, to find the class that most appeals to you.
Check out the course syllabus before registering. It is often possible to consult a sample
syllabus or a syllabus from the last time a faculty member taught his or her Core class.
Where available, copies of syllabi are included with the course descriptions on this
Registration Reminders
Recitations and laboratories are an integral part of all FCC and FSI courses; they are not
optional. Plan accordingly, keeping in mind that you must reserve space in your class
schedule for two lectures and one recitation or lab section per week.
Because of the intensive nature of Core classes and the time needed to schedule
recitations and labs, students should not register for more than one FCC or more than one
FSI course at a time.
Study Away
The Core is intended to provide students with a core experience in the liberal arts at
the very beginning of their college careers. In general, student should therefore have
completed the Core before undertaking study away from New York. Opportunities to
fulfill parts of the Core away from New York are limited: Some of the University's
global sites offer departmental courses that can be substituted in satisfaction of the Core
(FSI, FCC Societies and the Social Sciences). Sections of the FCC course Cultures and
Contexts are regularly offered at some study away sites; sections of the FCC course
Expressive Culture are offered away on a limited basis. See the course listings on this
website for each semester's offerings.
Substitution of courses to and from NYU-Abu Dhabi is also available on a limited
basis. See the NYU-AD articulation on this website for more information.

|Illicit Drugs and the Development Assistance Programme - Strategy paper (DFID, 1999, 18 p.)
|The response
14 In the context of its poverty reduction and human rights objectives, DFID provides assistance to poor countries to improve personal security through community policing, as well as assistance to strengthen the effectiveness of tax collection on international trade. This involves developing the capacity of police and customs services: this general institutional development enhances the capability of the police and customs to deal with illegal drugs production and trading. Most such projects supported by DFID in drugs-producing and trading countries will have an indirect impact on drugs control.
15 Attempts to improve direct interventions to control drugs will only succeed if the institutional capacity of countries' enforcement services have been developed more generally, including in ways addressed by DFID's programmes. Improved intelligence and enforcement techniques, applied in isolation from wider education programmes, would simply score more highly on detecting and imprisoning offenders, without addressing the underlying problems (though there may also be some deterrent effect). Involving communities themselves in self-help initiatives may be crucial. DFID's support in areas other than law enforcement, such as rural livelihoods, infrastructure development, education, etc., will also have a potential beneficial indirect effect on drugs control.
16 Enforcement activities should include building improved capacity to address the organised criminal's response to the growing value of the drugs trade. This response manifests itself in corruption at all levels in society and government; an upward spiral in violent crime as inter-gang turf wars emerge; large-scale financial fraud and money laundering activities to dispose of large liquid capital reserves generated by the trade; and an undermining of national and international confidence in socio-economic and judicial systems. DFID will look for opportunities to engage in activities which address these issues, working with governments which are themselves committed to addressing them, with an emphasis on eliminating problems and distortions as they affect the poor and vulnerable. Action is required in the UK and other richer countries to ensure that their laws are effective against corruption and the movement of illicit funds.
17 DFID provides assistance to all Caribbean countries, including the Overseas Territories, as part of the Caribbean Drugs Initiative (CDI). This is an initiative co-ordinated by the EU and UN International Drugs Control Programme (UNDCP) and is aimed at combating the drugs trade. European and other governments are working in partnership with governments in the region. The initiative aims to tackle a range of activities that are needed across the region, including improved planning at national level, policing and customs, demand reduction, treatment and rehabilitation. This programme is the most ambitious and comprehensive attempt so far to tackle the drugs problem in the region. DFID has earmarked £7.5 million as a contribution. This will be used to help build local level capacity in police and customs in some of the more vulnerable Caribbean countries, and to provide support for the Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police so that they can provide strong regional leadership. DFID is also taking a lead role in co-ordinating a European Commission/UK funded drugs training project for such agencies in the region.

Electromechanical relays are used in power system, specifically in its protection. These are switching devices used to control high power devices. They have earned a well-deserved reputation for accuracy, dependability, and reliability.
Electromechanical relays come in many forms, but there are two basic types of operating mechanisms: the electromagnetic-attraction relay and the electromagnetic-induction relay.
Of the two, the more popular type of electromechanical relay is the induction disk in which a disk is mounted on bearings and is put in motion by the 'induced' field from an electromagnet. The speed of rotation is controlled by a fixed magnetic field from a permanent magnet.
The moving element, or rotor, is usually a metal disk, although it sometimes may be a metal cylinder or cup. The stator is one or more electromagnets with current or potential coils that induce currents in the disk, causing it to rotate. The disk motion is restrained by a spring until the rotational forces are sufficient to turn the disk and bring its moving contact against the stationary contact, thus closing the circuit the relay is controlling. The greater the fault being sensed, the greater the current in the coils, and the faster the disk rotates.
Magnetic-attraction relays have either a solenoid that pulls in a plunger, or one or more electromagnets that attract a hinged armature. When the magnetic force is sufficient to overcome the restraining spring, the movable element begins to travel, and continues until the contact close or the magnetic force is removed. The pickup point is the current or voltage at which the plunger or armature begins to move and, in a switchgear relay, the pickup value can be set very precisely.
Attraction-type relays can operate with either AC or DC on the coils; therefore, relays using this principle are affected by the DC component of an asymmetrical fault and must be set to allow for this.
Electromechanical relays have found a decline in usage in recent times. This is due mainly to the advent of technology and the creation of digital, microprocessors based, and logic circuit centered relays.
Electromechanical relays still has its supporters and advocates. GE for instance, despite being at the forefront of the movement to intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and high speed communications, still firmly committed to the older and still viable electromechanical and static protective relay market.
They believe that there are reasons to stay in the electromechanical protective relay game, as there are a number of applications where functional considerations can and do justify continued usage of these devices.
There are still applications where single function redundancy is a factor or where digital relays are unable to function at their best, such as in harsh environmental conditions, or areas prone to electromagnetic (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Engineers at GE noted that there are special applications where nothing will do but an electromechanical relay, especially those in which customers have existing investments.
Electromechanical relays still have a substantial market. There are three main areas where electromechanical protective relays still dominate the market:
Retrofitting- Situations where aging electromechanical equipment needs replacing, many users prefer to work with the existing technology rather than going to the trouble and expense of redesigning their drawings or facilities to incorporate digital technology. Retrofits in fact account for the largest portion of the electromechanical relay business.
Harsh Environments - Under conditions of extreme heat for example, electromechanical relays are more reliable, easy to repair, simple to understand, simple to test, and simple to maintain. By way of example, any applications where the ambient temperature is over 80°C pretty well rule out the use of digital relays (e.g. oil fields in hotter climates).
Electromechanical relays perform well in areas prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), they are a popular choice in harsh EMI and RFI environments. Surges, transients and noise do not affect an electromechanical protective relay.
Self-powered - Digital relays require the presence of a secure power supply. When dealing with central power facilities, where a large battery is always present, this is essentially a non-issue. However, in areas where it is inconvenient to provide a battery, such as a smaller industrial environment or mining operation, that's a supreme justification for going with electro-magnetic relays.
Every time you go and see your switchgear, and see all the digital relays, let us remember that once upon a time, the analogs rule the world of relaying. They are indeed a creation that made it throught the tests of time.

Album: Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed Present Magic & Bird
Talkin', talkin' crazy
Uh-huh (round five, chicken flow)
Kennedy Fried Chicken flow
Crown Heights, East of Portland
Verse 1: Wordsplayed
Lot of rappers overated
Homie, that's an understatement
I grew up on that Tigger in Tha Basement
You could say I made it, me and Andy goin' Kane and Undertaker
Talkin' crazy, y'all sonned the boy
But you know we ain't related
I was told that I'm kinda strange, and I can't debate it
Either way I'ma kill the game like it's premeditated
Like thu-thu boy when I'm aimin' at the booth-booth boy
Put the lighters to the roof, boy
When you ridin' in your coupe, boy
Aimin' at your whole crew, boy (bang)
I remember when police was in the hallway
Knockin', talkin'
We can hear you from long range
I said I'd turn it down, that was 'til they went away
Now I'm on my OT talkin' all day
Speak now or hold your peace
Before the Lord lay my soul to sleep
And I got some goals I gotta reach (get it, get it, get it)
These moves you gotta see
Chorus: Andy Mineo
Doin' my dance, ayy
I'm doin' my dance, don't mind me
I'm doin' my dance, ayy
Look, I'm doin' my dance, watch
I'm doin' my dance, hustle
I'm doin' my dance, work
I'm doin' my dance, ayy, ayy
Just doin' my, doin' my, doin' my dance
Verse 2: Andy Mineo
Body type, Jerome Bettis
I don't smoke on that lettuce (ok)
I just pour up that Chemex (what else?)
Show's over, roll credits (don't stop)
Psyche, I just got started (ayy)
It's win or learn, no losses (what else?)
Feeling sick, I might call in (what else?)
Wait, I don't got bosses (that swag)
Yeah, I take a break but I don't ever quit (that's real)
Yah, yeesh!
I keep a hundred bars up in the clip
This summer, we finna hit London and Swiss, swish
I run a business, you runnin' your lip
Back and forth between ATL so much
I been thinkin' 'bout gettin' fronts
Nowadays, no loyalty
They stab you in the back just to get in front
It's a race against time to try to put down the things that I'm thinkin' of
I see people go insane when they find out their fifteen is up
Look, I'm doin' my dance, you see it
I look better in person, believe it
Yeah, wait, how you get my number?
Hey, delete it
I ain't changed that since '13, I think it's about time and I need it
G told me gotta pick up the pace
Hands in the air like I stick up the place
And I cannot falter whenever my face at the altar
Who you gave the ball to?
I don't the play martyr
I just play much harder
Harden aimin' for the Hall of Fame
I lock and aim, my shot go bang!
You lames don't want no parts
You all the same, I Charlemagne the talkin'
And I walk inside my lane
I came, I saw, I conquered
Dying's gain, the pride it came before the fall
Summer's ours, Andy's comin'
Hit the floor, I'm John Travolta
Chorus: Andy Mineo
Doin' my dance, ayy
I'm doin' my dance, don't mind me
I'm doin' my dance, ayy
Look, I'm doin' my dance, watch
I'm doin' my dance, hustle
I'm doin' my dance, work
I'm doin' my dance, ayy, ayy
Just doin' my, doin' my, doin' my dance
Doin' my dance, ayy
I'm just doin' my dance, ayy
I'm doin' my dance
Look, me and my, ooh, ooh
I'm just doin' my dance, look at
I'm doin' my dance, no hands
I'm doin' my dance, look, look
I'm doin' my dance
Outro: Andy Mineo
'Crae told me new level, new devil in this
It's a battle outside, and you better be equipped
That's why I gotta keep the good book on flip
And I'm runnin' through the rain
And I think I might slip like skrt
Pickin' it up, man, pick up the pace
So puttin' my high hands high, like I stick up the place
Whenever I die, I'ma tell my momma I'm up in a better place
Gotta be puttin' it down on the record
I'ma set it straight, ayy!

WoW related themes might be a bit of a laugh and I'm partitial to Stormwind Cottage so far, Darkshore also having been mentioned (Southshore seems more appropriate) much as I'd obviously like to call the place Blackwing Lair. :-)
Any further suggestions?
