Dirt roads, chaotic city streets, eating mangos, stealing guava off trees with my cousins, lazy summer days, getting chased down the street by a rabid dog, and getting so sick that I have to be hospitalized. Those are the images my mind conjures up at the mention of Pakistan. It probably brings up very different images for you. I visited Pakistan every summer with my family until I was twelve, then we stopped going. I somehow managed to spend a lot of time in hospital beds during these visits be it from food poisoning, dehydration, malaria, or a mysterious skin infection. Those are just the few I remember.
In March 2013, I was invited by the US Department of State on a four city tour of Pakistan. My visit was part of a cultural exchange program between Americans and Pakistanis. In my case, between an American-Pakistani and Pakistanis. My Pakistani parents moved to the US in the 80s. I had never given much thought to my hyphenated identity until a few years ago when a lack of Muslim-American female voices in the arts compelled me to write a play. I wanted to share with the world what I had always taken for granted — that the Muslim-American community is not a monolith in thought or practice, and suffers from the same trials and tribulations as other communities. I created a one woman play titled Dirty Paki Lingerie to tackle this image, now playing at the Flea Theatre through August 18. I describe the play as "sex, religion, and politics collide as six Pakistani-American Muslim women air their dirty lingerie…".
As a performer, I live by a simple rule. If something scares me, I should do it. The idea of going to Pakistan in these times scared me a bit. I hadn't been back in a long time. All I had to go by were stories from my parents, and images I had seen in the media. The US Embassy in Pakistan worked with me to create a tour in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, and Gujrat that consisted of me performing my play, collaborating with local artists, and teaching storytelling workshops to college aged students, and children as young as ten years old. I set out on this trip with a very clear goal in mind: to come back healthy and alive. Even my parents who go to Pakistan often, they visited in January of this year, were a bit concerned about my safety.
The day I landed in Pakistan (Karachi) a bomb went off in a Shia neighborhood killing and injuring many people. If I was worried about safety, the next day the armored vehicle and the two gunmen that showed up to travel with me everywhere I went, put all my fears to rest. I was in a highly secure area. The hotel had barricades, and several checkpoints leading to the main entrance. There were many gunmen manning the main entrance as well. The locals take their own precautions though. I noticed the hotel shuttle driver who picked me up from the airport wasn't stopping at any red lights. When I asked him why he wasn't stopping, he promptly responded, "No madam, we don't stop at red lights late at night because gunmen will come on motorcycle and rob you."
My trip was full of surprises. I had pitched the idea of performing a reading of a documentary play called SEVEN on International Women's Day in the capital city, Islamabad. SEVEN is written by seven American female writers about seven female activists from around the world. The day before the performance I arrived at the oldest women's university in Pakistan, Fatima Jinnah Women's University, to find out I was actually not acting in the play, but I was directing the play. I am an actor and a writer. The organizers clearly didn't have an understanding of what that means. If there is one thing I have learned from acting all these years, it is that when you are asked to do something you roll up your sleeves and do it. In Pakistan I directed my first reading of a play.

I also managed to do my first tech in Urdu. We had some simple light cues. Introductory address to the audience, lights off at the beginning of the reading, the actors take their seats, and then lights come on. To accomplish this, a man clad in traditional shalwar kameez at the back of the room opposite the stage made a hand gesture to another man standing in a door to the left of the stage. Then that man gave a hand gesture to another man standing outside in the hallway to turn the breakers on. And we had light! It was exciting, challenging, and I learned a lot about myself from doing it. After receiving sometimes decipherable and sometimes indecipherable direction for years, I realized I am capable of talking to actors and giving direction in a way that they can understand. I was so impressed with these girls who had no real acting training, but within two days put on a show that would make professional actors envious. There appears to be immense talent in Pakistan, but a lack of institutions to harness that talent.
The most memorable event for me was a speaking engagement about my career at an all girls high school in a small village outside Islamabad. I was told the event was canceled the day before due to a city wide strike of non-teaching staff in government schools. A few hours later I was told the event was back on. The female principal of the school convinced the bus drivers to end the strike to drive these girls to school and back home just for this event. We drove past unpaved roads, clusters of men sitting on charpoys doing nothing, and young children playing unattended by heaps of garbage. I couldn't help but think this could have been my life. But by some trick of fate, I was born into the only household in my father's family where children received an education. My dad is one of eight kids, and is the only one of his brothers who went to college. In fact, he is the only one who completed high school.
(Photo of students at the Girl's Model School.)
Three hundred girls were present on their day off from school. I started off by asking them how many of them wanted to study medicine. About 20 hands went up. I then asked how many wanted to study engineering, and 8 hands went up. I then asked how many wanted to study writing or acting, and 5 hands went up. I asked how many of them wanted to work after college graduation, and only one girl raised her hand. When I asked how many of them think they'll get married after graduation, all of them raised their hands. They told me their families and brothers wouldn't like them to work outside the house for various reasons. With all this talk of girls' education in Pakistan, I can not help but wonder what about the many girls who can never put their education to use in order to gain financial independence. But then again, it is extremely hard for men with college degrees to find jobs in Pakistan, let alone women.
Over the course of the hour, we shared our fears, hopes, and obstacles. We talked about convincing parents to let us try new things. I have mastered the art of convincing my parents to let me do things they may not deem suitable for girls. I'm hoping my tips pay off for these girls. I shared my own path from a Google employee to a writer and an actor. They asked intelligent questions about how to move forward with a career. At the end, all three hundred of them said they would consider finding a job, and not necessarily just get married after graduation. I hope it wasn't just the excitement talking. At least for some of them, I hope it sticks.
While I was mostly looking forward to performing my own work in front of a new audience before I set out on this trip, the most memorable moments came from the interactions I had with the local artists and students. The theater magic we created together is forever etched in my mind and soul. I taught fourteen workshops in four different cities in Pakistan. What astounded me the most was that during the storytelling workshops themes of homosexuality came up again and again. A playwriting professor at NYU recently told me that is the most discussed topic in her students' writings.
Pakistanis are the most hospitable people I have ever met. Every place I visited I was greeted with smiles, and a warm cup of tea. Sometimes five cups of tea. In case you are wondering, I did not get hospitalized. I did get the worst 24 hour stomach bug of my life three days before I left Pakistan. But for what I gained on this trip, I will gladly brave a stomach bug or hospitalization a hundred times over.
Now when I think of Pakistan, I will think of the artists who inspired me, and the friendships I formed that I hope last. I will think of the generosity of the people I met who welcomed a stranger with open arms, and took care of her. I will think of the three hundred girls who are so hungry to learn that they came to school for an hour on a day they had off.
I hope you will too.

Corporate Douchebag of the Week: Chase Bank — Auburn, WA branch
This news story perfectly articulates and crystallizes what's wrong with the Corporate States of America, Inc. When a large corporation commits gross negligence, there's no accountability whatsoever. No penalties; no need to reimburse their victim(s) — Nada. Zilch. The individual who was victimized by this particular case of corporate negligence, on the other hand, spent four days in jail, got fired from his job and had his car impounded.
In Auburn, WA, Ikenna Njoku — a 28-year-old construction worker and homeowner — was planning to use his first time home buyer tax rebate to pay off his car. He arranged to have the rebate check deposited directly into his Chase Bank account. When the rebate check arrived, the bank mailed him a cashier's check for $8,463.21.
When he went to his neighborhood Chase branch to cash the check, the trouble started. Even though the check had his name and current address on it, and the check had been issued by JP Morgan Chase, the bank person who handles large checks became suspicious. Ikenna Njoku said:
"I was embarrassed. She asked me what I did for a living. Asked me where I got the check from, looked me up and down—like 'you just bought a house in Auburn, really?' She didn't believe that."
She took the check, along with Njoku's driver's license and credit cards, and showed them to somebody higher up. After being kept waiting for fifteen minutes, Njoku left the bank to get some errands done. When he came back, the bank was closed. He called customer service and asked what he should do, and they told him to go back to the bank the next day and get his money.
When he went back the next day, police were waiting to arrest him on forgery charges — writing a fraudulent check. Njoku said:
"I was like — you're making a mistake, you're making a mistake, don't take me to jail, I got work tomorrow. I can't afford to miss work."
He was taken to jail on a Thursday. The next day, Chase realized they'd made a mistake — the check was legitimate. They called the police station and left a message with whoever answered the phone. "OK, I did my job. Next."
The person who should have acted on the message was off for the day and nobody else got the message. So Njoku spent the entire weekend in jail and was released on Monday. The Auburn Police Commander said Chase could have done a lot more to let them know they'd locked up an innocent person:
"We do have a main line that comes into our front office. There are ways to reach someone 24/7 at a police department."
While Njoku was in jail, his car — which he'd parked at the Chase parking lot — had been towed and impounded. And the car was auctioned off and sold before he had a chance to come up with the impoundment fees.
Oh, and he was fired from his job because he didn't show up for work that previous Friday. Since, you know, he was wrongly in jail at the time.
Not only is Chase not guilty (technically) of any wrongdoing — they haven't even made any hollow attempts to offer a phony apology to Ikenna Njoku.
But remember now — Corporations are People.

Grilled Flat Iron with a Spicy Dipping Sauce
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I grew up eating steak with ketchup and a little Tabasco sauce. And to this day I always serve steak with a little dipping sauce usually consisting of ketchup, Worcestershire and hot sauce. This Flat Iron is actually marinated in some of the dipping sauce with the rest served on the side. It's spicy and super tender when thinly sliced! —inpatskitchen
Serves: 4 to 6
cup ketchup (liquid measuring cup)
tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
tablespoon plus one teaspoon sriracha sauce
cloves garlic
2 to 2 1/2 pound Flat Iron steak (use flank steak if you can't find flatiron)
Salt and pepper
- Combine the ketchup, Worcestershire and sriracha in a small bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce to another small bowl.
- Using a garlic press or microplane, grate the garlic cloves into the 1/3 cup of sauce. Let both sauces stand for at least an hour.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper and then using a pastry brush, brush the steak on both sides with the sauce that has the garlic in it. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Heat your grill to medium high and grill to your liking (we like rare as you can see). Remove from the grill and let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve the remaining sauce with the steak.

As giddy as a school girl.
That's how I described my mood after having my picture taken with University of Kentucky men's basketball player Ramon Harris at Friday's DARE graduation. And I know I wasn't the only one.
"That's Harris! That's him right there!" I heard one DARE graduate shout in disbelief while standing about 10 feet in front of the senior Wildcat who graduated last weekend.
"I'll never wash my hand again," said another after getting a high-five.
Column first nice thing written about Tyrone
To the editor:
I would just like to simply say thank you for the article you wrote in The Anderson News on Wednesday about Tyrone.
Column as I see 'em ...
Here is some unsolicited advice for the board of education, but advice I hope they'll at least consider.
It's a given that the school boards association is clearly the end-all, be-all when it comes to helping districts hire a new superintendent.
That being said, here's hoping that hiring from within isn't dismissed out of hand as a bad idea.
Truck, tractor pull not a benefit to our ears
I read your comments in the last edition of The Anderson News regarding the truck and tractor pulls held at the county park. I understand the benefits to the community of holding events such as these in the county. However, there is a downside that you did not mention.
It was a warning I dismissed almost immediately, not because I am brave, but mostly because I hate being told I can't do something.
"Welcome to Anderson County, but if you know what's good for you, you'd better stay out of Tyrone," a few folks told me when I arrived in town four years ago.
"Not even the police like to go down there," they said.
Welcome, May. The ducks are on the pond and the locust is in bloom. Spring really has sprung. I love to watch the trees leaf out and admire the hundreds of shades of green that end up painting the landscape. Out here in the country, we've got lots of trees, but some are growing purple boxes.
This weekend, I was one of the lucky ones.
Most of us were.
Rain fell at a steady pace in Lawrenceburg for nearly two days, and aside from the small stream that developed in my front yard, I escaped unscathed.
Though I saw the rain falling outside my window, it was hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that some of my neighbors were flooded from their homes, watching the water pile up in their back yards from neighbors' porches.
It seems that each time spring rolls around someone kicks the anthill that houses those who support a restaurant tax to promote tourism and sends them scurrying again all over town, looking for bread crumbs.
While I certainly don't mind reprising my roll as chief exterminator and busting a fresh can of Raid, it's good to know that there's a man with a plan besides me willing to prove the folly of that tax.
Well, another Earth Day has passed and I hope you all celebrated by being kind to the earth. After all, it's the only planet with chocolate.
The "reduce, reuse and recycle" saying has certainly had a positive impact. More people are doing more to limit the amount of trash we bury into Mother Earth. That makes a huge difference.
First thing Friday morning, I began to complain to myself, if not out loud.
It was raining. It was cold(er than it had been). It was shaping up to be a miserable day.
But Friday was one of those days when something happens to put all of your complaints in perspective.
I had an interview, which was set to take place outdoors, scheduled for Friday morning.
While at that interview, I got rained on, my hair was wet and I knelt down in something that I'm going to call mud.
But by the end of the interview, none of those things mattered.
Taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill for 'new' county government offices
If county government's intention of taking over the old Countryside Motors facility is in fact just rumor, our county officials now have good reason to call you out on it for your editorial. But if it is not, I believe a good number of our citizens may share my sentiments as follows:
Anderson County's political candidates campaigned hard this past weekend.
Well, at least that's what I can assume from the pile of campaign literature I found blocking the entrance to my home on Sunday night.
So maybe "blocking the entrance" is a bit overkill, but I had a lot to pick up before I could unlock the door and go inside.
I was out of town this weekend, so I wasn't home to answer the multiple knocks on my door, although I'm sure my dog tried her best from the back yard to tell the candidates I wasn't there.
Rumors are ugly things, aren't they?
Well, I've heard what I hope is just a rumor over the past week or so that is so ugly it appears to have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
As hard as it is to believe, I've heard from several sources that overtures have been made to turn the now defunct auto dealership across from Kroger into — wait for it! — a public building.
One of the best things about my roll into summer is breakfast with the birds. They make such beautiful music in the morning you just want to get up and be out there with them.
I almost feel like Homeland Security, listening in on a hundred different conversations. I only wish I knew what they were saying. They sure sound happy.
Burkhead 'most qualified' to be next sheriff
Rex Burkhead's candidacy for Anderson County sheriff presents an opportunity for us to install the most qualified, experienced and best-trained law enforcement officer that we've ever had in the county's top position.
Anderson already has proven sheriff
I would like to share my feelings on the upcoming election for Anderson County sheriff.
I was hired full time at the Anderson County Sheriff's Office on Jan. 1, 1983. I retired Jan. 1, 2009 after 25 years of service and still fill in part time when needed. I personally can vouch for the honesty and integrity of Sheriff Troy Young and the staff he has hand picked.
I was able to catch Sarah Palin's speech Friday to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.
It was very difficult to swallow, listening to that seemingly squeaky clean voice, but I watched the whole thing on MSNBC.
She has been coached and is getting better with her delivery, and through that cultivated, almost Fargo accent she was actually able to string together a few entire sentences. She must have a better speech writer now. But she hasn't lost that cyclical manner of phrasing her words. It makes one a bit dizzy.
The beauty of democracy is that citizens elect their own leaders.
The not-so-pretty side is that too many citizens elect to be uneducated voters, settling to cast ballots for the most recognizable name or because their [insert random acquaintance/relative here] told them to.
This year, The Anderson News is trying, through several means, to help you, dear readers, become educated and informed voters.
Anyone who thinks the ongoing battle to determine the county's next judge-executive is nothing but four candidates spreading their positive messages about why they should be elected just isn't paying enough attention.
We need look no further than last Tuesday's fiscal court meeting for evidence.
With all four candidates — incumbent Steve Cornish, Magistrate John Wayne Conway, highway foreman Chip Chambers and independent candidate Donna Drury — in attendance, there was no shortage of positioning going on.
Challenger league a great opportunity
To the editor,
My wife and I share the privilege of raising a special child. Our 'grand' son is 10 years old. We recently read about the new Challenger Division of the Anderson County Little League in your paper. We tried to get him interested but he didn't want to play.
Then he heard that some of his friends were going to be on this baseball team and changed his mind. We have been to two practices, and they were fun.

Mini fridges. Posters. Laundry baskets. These and more were moved into dormitory rooms by the masses this week at the University of Arkansas.
Around 4,300 students are moving in on campus, according to Scott Flanigan with the division of student affairs.
Founder's Hall, a suite-style dorm, and Hotz Hall, the freshman honors dorm were opened this year, offering 750 beds to students.
Hotz Hall was opened in 1965 as a dormitory and eventually became a building for administrative offices, according to Flanigan.
The building took about a year to be renovated and opened its doors to freshmen.
"We`re the first people, so everything is completely unscratched and it`s really actually nice for a dorm," freshman Kate McBeth said.
Many freshmen are moving out from their childhood homes to go to college. Phyllis Burgener is from Hot Springs and talked about moving her son into Hotz Hall.
"We`re thankful that he gets the chance, the opportunity to come here," she said.
"We are going to miss him and the tears will probably be flowing this afternoon, but he`s very very excited and looking forward to being in the new honors dorm."
Many opportunities are offered to college students at the university. Luke Graber of Hot Springs moved in on Tuesday (Aug. 20) and has been dreaming of going to the U of A since he was a kid.
"It`s just such an incredible feeling to actually be here and to get things started," he said.

I never get tired of the Duchess of Cambridge's keenness. Duchess Kate is keen about so many things! Kate is keen about mistaking keenness for actual work, like it should count as an "event" if she simply makes Poor Jason slip word to one of the papers that Kate is keen about something or other. Kate was so keen to really buckle down and really start working full-time as a royal, but alas, her keenness for babies came first. As we know, Katie Keen is sick as dog in the first months of her third pregnancy. Once she's feeling better, I suspect she'll have the same kind of pregnancy as her first two, where she's able to keep up with prenatal yoga and all of that. Her delivery of Princess Charlotte was apparently easy as can be – she was only in labor for a few hours, and the birth was no drama, and Kate left the hospital with Charlotte very quickly. Now sources tell The Daily Mail's Girl About Town columnist that this time around, Kate is keen to have a home birth.
The Duchess of Cambridge, pregnant with her third child, is keen on the idea of a home birth, I can reveal. Kate previously sought permission from aides for second baby Princess Charlotte to be delivered in Kensington Palace, but decided against it after taking advice. However, after the births of Prince George and his sister proved to be problem-free, my sources tell me Kate will be on much stronger ground this time. It would spare Kate the ordeal of facing hundreds of paparazzi, as she had to do straight after leaving the maternity unit with George and Charlotte, and allow her children to meet their sibling in the privacy of their own home.
My well-placed informant says: 'The Duchess knew it wasn't possible for her first baby to be born at home, but she asked for a home birth for the second. Officials and doctors thought it too risky. There was concern and in the end she decided against it.'
The Duchess, 35, thought to be less than 12 weeks pregnant, has been suffering extreme morning sickness, as she did with both her other pregnancies. It caused her to miss George's first day of school last week. If she gets the go-ahead for home birth this time, she will be reverting to Royal tradition. The Queen had her four children at Buckingham Palace, and Queen Victoria was born at Kensington Palace in 1819. The Cambridge children were born in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, where the £5,000-a-night suites have the latest technology and access to St Mary's next door in the event of an emergency.
The Duchess's wish for a home birth last time was taken so seriously that the route from Kensington to St Mary's was timed in case of any scare. My source adds: 'The Duke and Duchess decided not to take the risk last time. A similar request with the third baby would be more acceptable.'
My guess is that she probably IS keen on it – she's reportedly not interested in the drugs or epidurals or anything, and she seems to want all of her deliveries to be as natural as possible. She probably does want to give birth at home, or Kensington Palace or wherever. That's her right, and they'll probably let her do it for the third pregnancy, don't you think? If the rest of her pregnancy is uncomplicated, that is. Then again, Kate is 35 years old and she'll be 36 when she gives birth. While she's still a young woman by many metrics, gynecologically her age makes a home birth more risky.
Also, the Daily Express says that Kate had to "persuade" William to have a third. William's argument was basically that he's thinks two kids is a good number and that George was an extremely difficult baby and what if they get another one like George? Kate's position was basically "but my mum had three kids and now I want that!"

Dear Dayna,
Everyone has expectations of what a wedding is supposed to be and how it is supposed to turn out. You expect that there are going to be some bumps in the road and a lot of little tasks that need to be completed prior to the big day.
When people asked prior to the wedding, "Are you busy with the all the wedding stuff? We answered "No! – it's all handled."
Occasions makes it very easy, a turn-key wedding in one of the most beautiful settings in California. When they asked us how the wedding turned out, our answer was everything was better than we had expected. From all the vendors that we worked with, to the all the people from Occasions at Laguna Village, It was an amazing event. We got a ton of compliments from all of our guests.
We want to thank you for making our special day, that much more special. We would recommend Occasions to anyone looking to get married on the coast in Southern California.
Thank you!
Derek and Nicole Halpern

Feng Shui for Architecture is an easy-to-use manual to incorporate Scientific Feng Shui into the design, renovation, and decorating of your home. The final goal is to support your well-being, as well as your family's, in all aspects of life. It is also particularly useful during a real estate pre-acquisition inspection, for it offers examples of bad Feng Shui (to avoid), good Feng Shui (to desire), and how to correct any overall problems. This will help you to evaluate the kind of investment to be made and to make the property Feng Shui proof (as well as decide if you want to either buy it or pass on it). The only book on the market written by an architect, interior designer, and Feng Shui expert who has over 20 years of expertise in the fields of architectural planning, design, and Scientific Feng Shui Mastery, Feng Shui for Architecture is largely the result of answering frequent questions that have arisen over the years by concerned Feng Shui and Interior Architecture students in classes taught by the author as well as addressing common issues brought up by professional architects, designers, and clients with whom the author has consulted with during the development of hundreds of projects (and whom are also the same people who encouraged her to write this book). Editorial Reviews qDr. Simona Mainini has an astonishing ability to interpret and install ancient Chinese formulas in such a way that they change lives today. Her discipline and precision in a field not often distinguished by these qualities is both unique and world class.q Richard Ashworth Author of The Feng Shui Diaries Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of the Feng Shui Society qDr. Mainini is one of those few, wonderful people who have managed to weld together the strict disciplines of architectural practice with the aesthetics and philosophies of the ancient Chinese traditions of Feng Shui. Readers can be assured that what she writes is not founded just on theory alone, but sound, practical experience.q Derek Walters Author of The Feng Shui Handbook a The Complete Guide to Chinese Astrology qFeng Shui for Architecture is an excellent guide for both the Feng Shui professional and layperson. You can benefit from the knowledge presented here and use it to make your environment as harmonious as possible.q Larry Sang Author of The Principles of Feng Shui President a Founder of The American Feng Shui Institute qFeng Shui for Architecture has been extremely inspirational to me and many of my students at the School of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil). We are very impressed with Dr. Mainini's knowledge and experience. She brings a new pattern to design and architecture.q Maria Cecilia Loschiavo dos Santos, PhD Author of Movel Moderno no Brasil Professor, Design Department, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil qThe title and subtitle promises a lot-- and this book delivers even more! Dr. Mainini has done a fabulous job organizing and explaining-- in a clear, precise manner-- the principles of Feng Shui and the ancient Chinese art of placement for good energy flow as it applies to the spaces in which we live and work. Not only is this book great for the preparation of buildings, it is also extremely useful even if you are only searching for an energetically superior apartment, house, or office space to rent. If you are looking for an invaluable source of Feng Shui information to help bring harmony to your living and working space and your life, this is a book for you.

As firm believers in the oft-quoted maxim that 'creative without strategy is art, creative with strategy is advertising', at LIQUID, you'll find detail-oriented analysts who forensically examine a brand's situation, methodically reviewing quantitative and qualitative data to map strategic opportunities; and creative left-fielders who develop those strategic opportunities into compelling brand experiences, impactful verbal and visual identities and powerful communications which delve deep into the psyche of the intended audience.
Strategic decisions have to be grounded upon reality – insights into the people you want as brand advocates are essential, as is a detailed understanding of both business challenges and objectives. Through the garnering of relevant qualitative and quantitative data on the target audience and from internal and external stakeholders, as well as a brand audit, we can uncover insightful pearls of brand significance and use them to optimum effect.
Research can reveal the ideal strategic path for a business and brand to follow; defining the brand strategy is half-way to winning the hearts and minds of the target consumer. The strategy aims to plot the opportunities that exist within the marketplace to ensure that the right attributes of the brand are developed and underscored by effective positioning and definition.
Semiotics is paramount in winning cultural capital, which is what an effective and impactful brand identity helps to achieve. The verbal identity including naming, tagline, key messages and tone of voice is the oral + aural bridge between product + service and brand advocate; whereas the visual identity associates in the audience's neural network a brand connection from colour, iconography, typography and visual graphics.
Designing the customer experience is an integral part of brand interaction; the promises made to the market have to be delivered upon or best of all exceeded. As the power of the brand lies in the mind of the consumer, moments along the customer journey and interaction can be elevated to leave a lasting epiphanic memory and generate that loyal army of brand advocates, sharing the love through social media.
Selecting the appropriate communication channels, whether through traditional print and TV media or through online and social media, goes in harmony with the brand strategy. Whether for existing brands, or new brands, LIQUID proposes and executes agreed communications plans which utilise the most effective channels in respect of the target audience.

2010 NFL Mock Draft: Buffalo Bills Select Iowa Hawkeye OT Bryan BulagaMarch 15, 2010
If success was a cup of coffee, the Buffalo Bills would need a blowtorch to defrost the caffeinated delight.
They were really good in the 90s, going to four straight Super Bowls, and despite losing all of them, they were one of the greatest teams of all time.
Now they have fallen off a cliff and are dropping into the valley below. There was talk about the franchise moving to Canada after Ralph Wilson eventually died and the name that came up most often was Toronto, Ontario.
The Bills have even played a regular season game in Toronto, and the loyal fans of the North Pole of the United States were terrified.
However, Roger Goodell stated in 2008 that the Bills will indeed be in Toronto for a very long time.
The Bills have plenty of needs, particularly on the offensive line, the defensive line, quarterback, and tight end.
They recently hired Chan Gailey to be their new head coach, and since he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, I may be able to give some insight as to Gailey.
I don't think Gailey's a great hire. He took an already very good Dallas team to playoffs and lost in the first round twice.
He's a proponent of running the football. He wants to smash mouth that ball into the endzone the way it was done in the old days when the televisions showed only black and white pixels.
The man could do that in Dallas because he had easily one of the top ten greatest running backs of all time in Emmitt Smith, whose greatest quality was his durability.
Emmitt's two years he spent with Gailey were Pro Bowl years, so Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch should be dancing with glee because Gailey is going to run the ball.
He's a good hire, not a great one. A great one to me would have been a defensive guy like Bill Cowher or Leslie Frazier because even though the Bills were 6-10, they had the number two passing defense in terms of yards and touchdowns allowed, and in interceptions recorded.
The Bills will now have an offensive focus when it comes to the ball now, and I can practically give a guarantee as to the position they draft.
They are drafting an offensive tackle. No question in my mind about it. They haven't had a great tackle since they traded Jason Peters for a first rounder last year from the Philadelphia Eagles, which was another one of the dumb ideas executed by Buffalo this previous decade.
Peters is an All-Pro beast at left tackle, and they gave him up for a first round draft pick that wasn't even in the top 20. In fact it was the 28th pick used to select center Eric Wood.
They will be looking for a real left tackle now since their last one, Brad Butler, unexpectedly retired this past month.
With Russell Okung and Bruce Campbell already of the board (Seattle's pick at no. 6 and Oakland's pick at no. 8 respectively), the best left tackle available in my opinion is Iowa's Bryan Bulaga, who forwent his fourth year of college to enter the draft.
He's 6'6, 312 pounds, and just looks like one of those guys who would be called Goliath back in biblical times.
The guy is a tremendous run blocker. He basically carts the defenders forward and the running back follows. He ran a 5.26 forty time with 26 bench reps of 225 pounds, he recorded a 27.5 vertical, and a 8'02 broad jump at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
My main concern with him is his pass protection because I've seen speed guys like Brandon Graham blow right past him or give him a lot of trouble.
Its not like it is with Okung, who hardly ever has to shift backwards and/or to his left in order to maintain the block, Bulaga does the Dosey Doe quite often. He prevents the sack the majority of the time, but the quarterback does feel pressure.
I wonder if they may want to try to convert him to guard possibly so that he'll worry more about pushing the man in front of him forward rather than pivot to keep pass rushers in front of him.
Whatever the position, I think he's worthy of a first round draft pick. Maybe not this high, but he's a guy who can certainly become a powerful, if not dominant, offensive lineman with the right coaching.
The thing that does bother me about Bulaga is his past medical problems. He's had a thyroid condition that made him shed weight, increase his heart rate, lose stamina, and create fatigue.
That led to a somewhat slow start for him at the beginning of the season, but he finished strong, and in Iowa's bowl game, he held another first-round prospect, Derrick Morgan, to zero sacks in a 24-14 win in the Orange Bowl, Iowa's first major bowl victory in 51 years.
He has stated that it is behind him though.
That all said, I definitely think Buffalo should make a serious attempt at Bulaga. He's capable of going to multiple Pro Bowls in a good career blocking for Buffalo backfields.

John Tesmer, a research associate professor at the Life Sciences Institute and the department of pharmacology at the University of Michigan, has been named the winner of the ASBMB Young Investigator Award this year.
"John has been a terrific success," wrote his nominator, professor Alan R. Saltiel of the University of Michigan. "He has developed a major reputation as a leading structural biologist, evidenced by his frequent invitations to speak at important meetings and publish review articles in leading journals, and an outstanding record of publications."
Stephen R. Sprang, professor and director of the Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics at the University of Montana, said Tesmer was "among the most productive and creative postdoctoral fellows with whom I have had the honor to work."
"Since he began his independent career as a junior faculty member at UT-Austin, and now as an associate professor at the University of Michigan, John has become a recognized leader in the structural biology of G protein signaling," Sprang noted. "Indeed, I would say with confidence that he is currently the most productive structural biologist working in this area."
Calling Tesmer's work full of novelty and deep insights, professor Heidi E. Hamm of Vanderbilt University Medical Center added, "He is also modest, a nice person and full of passion."
The ASBMB Young Investigator Award recognizes outstanding research contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology by those who have no more than 15 years postdoctoral experience. The award consists of a plaque, $5,000 and transportation and expenses to the 2010 ASBMB Annual Meeting, where the winner will present a lecture. In addition, up to $1,000 is awarded for travel to attend a meeting of the recipient's choice.


text: December 5, 2012 Tyler Gayheart justinloh: 8bitfuture: Smartphone case adds second screen to the back of your phone. An IndieGogo campaign has launched to bring a prototype E-Ink smartphone case into mass production. 'popSLATE' features an always on E-Ink screen which can be customized to show pictures or information on the back of an iPhone 5. The popSLATE case includes the latest, ruggedized, E-Ink screen, so it protects your iPhone just like any 'dumb' case. In fact the screen is nearly indestructible. The screen only uses power when the image changes so it sips negligible power from the phone. We use the lightning connector for both power and data exchange. For shortcut navigation, we're also integrating a tactile interface based upon the phone's accelerometer. Double tap the back of your phone to cycle through images or accept Pops from your friends. Then there's popSLATE app on the iPhone side. You can take pictures with the camera, browse the image gallery, manage your library, connect with other users, send/receive images and messages, and Pop what you want, when you want it.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who led the city during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and was sentenced last week to 10 years in prison in a corruption case, filed a notice on Tuesday that he will appeal his conviction on bribery and other charges.
The appeal will include both the verdict and the sentence, the notice said, and will be considered by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Nagin, a Democrat, is due to turn himself in to begin serving his sentence on Sept 8. He was sentenced last week to 10 years in federal prison after being convicted by a jury in February on 20 criminal counts that included bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy, money laundering and tax evasion.
U.S. District Judge Helen Ginger Berrigan handed Nagin a shorter prison term than that recommended under federal sentencing guidelines and sought by prosecutors, citing his devotion to family, commitment to helping his city and her belief that he was not a ringleader in the corruption that occurred.
During the 10-day trial, prosecutors portrayed Nagin as a mayor on the take, granting favors for bribes that included tons of free granite delivered to a kitchen countertop company he ran with his sons.
Nagin was thrust into the spotlight in 2005 when Katrina overwhelmed levees and flooded 80 percent of the city, killing 1,500 people and causing some $80 billion in damage.
Nagin's appeal will likely be complicated by the defense not moving during the trial to have the evidence against him ruled too weak for a conviction, Herbert Larson, an expert on federal criminal law at the Tulane University Law School, has said. Such motions are crucial for revisiting those arguments on appeal, Larson has said.
Neither federal prosecutors nor Nagin's attorney, Robert Jenkins, responded immediately to messages seeking comment.

The Wheatsheaf, Gloucestershire
"A winning address in the Cotswolds: great rooms, great food; great people behind it"
Review by Fiona Duncan, published 25th November 2011.
Oh Lord, here we go again. That's what I thought as once more my tyres crunched over pristine gravel and once more I squeezed my humble micro car between a Chelsea tractor and a BMW. Here we go again, I thought, as I watched two clean-cut ex-public school types in green bartenders' aprons carrying refuse sacks to the bins while I humped my bags unaided through newly landscaped gardens filled with outdoor tables and furled parasols towards the newly painted (Farrow & Ball, of course) old inn. Here we go again, I thought, when I saw that the one person propping up the bar was not a horny-handed son of the soil as of old, but a leggy blonde in designer country-wear, martini twirling idly in her hand.
Welcome to the Cotswolds. Like purple and silver nightclubs are to the girls and boys in The Only Way is Essex and slick wine bars are to the folk from Made in Chelsea, so posh, newly converted inns – springing up faster than you can say hedge-fund baby – are to the good folk of Gloucestershire. I'd meant to give this breed a rest – the last one, The Feathered Nest, had bedrooms with names like Cockerel's Roost, riding saddles for bar stools, breakfast hampers on sale to local weekenders. But then I met Peter, the 23-year-old manager, who showed me around the hotel he is so proud to run: the attractive dining areas, gleaming with polished wood, the sitting room, the informal Game Bar for coffees and light dishes, the glamorous private dining room, the charmingly rustic treatment room, the pretty enclosed garden, perfect for children, and some of the 14 bedrooms.
And I was won over, especially when I then met the owners, Sam and Georgie Pearman, who are down to earth, unpretentious, incredibly hard- working, not snobs at all, but with the talent to know what people want and how to deliver it. The Beckford Arms in Wiltshire is a posh pub that gets everything absolutely right; though The Wheatsheaf lacks its beautiful location, and its sitting room is not as alluring, it's as good in every other respect, and its fabulous bedrooms are better.
I would say that, wouldn't I, since I dined that night with the man who happens to be responsible for most of The Wheatsheaf's wonderfully imaginative wallpapers and fabrics (Stephen Lewis of Lewis & Wood), though my deep zinc bath and Hypnos bed were worth the room price alone.
Mind you, I could have done without Jack Nicholson: his portrait by Sebastian Kruger made an uneasy companion. I preferred the row of early 20th-century portraits of the Wills tobacco family in the dining room, originally painted for their boardroom and bought at auction.
The food, from the experienced chef Anthony Ely, doesn't miss a beat. Marks out of five? Four point seven, says Stephen Lewis's wife, a professional cook. And I'll add another point three for a superb breakfast next morning, including the best devilled kidneys ever.
- West End, Northleach GL54 3EZ (01451 860244;cotswoldswheatsheaf.com). Doubles from £120 per night, singles from £80, including breakfast. Access possible for guests with disabilities
Fiona's Choice
In the area
Northleach stands at a crossroads on the Roman Fosse Way, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The streets in and around the ancient market place are rich in architectural interest, from half-timbered Tudor houses and merchants' stores to the great House of Correction, built in the 18th century.
The town also boasts the finest example of the Cotswold perpendicular style in the impressive Church of St Peter and Paul, known as the Wool Church. The hotel holds directions for several excellent local walks.
Where to eat
In Cheltenham, try The Royal Well Tavern (5 Royal Well Place; 01242 221212; theroyalwelltavern.com), also owned by the Pearmans; in Cirencester, Made by Bob (The Corn Hall; 01285 641818;foodmadebybob.com), for breakfast, lunch and tea; and in Stow-on-the-Wold, The Old Butcher's Restaurant (Park Street; 01451 831700;theoldbutchers.com), serving modern British food in contemporary surroundings.
What to do
Children are welcome at The Wheatsheaf and there's an enclosed garden for them to play in and child-sized wellies. Family-oriented things to do locally include the Cotswold Wildlife Park (cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk) in Burford and Cotswold Farm Park (cotswoldfarmpark.co.uk) in Guiting Power, Cheltenham; or how about a boat trip down the Thames from Lechlade (lechladetripboat.co.uk)?
More culturally minded activities might include visits to Sudeley Castle, Hidcote Gardens, Snowshill Manor, Berkeley Castle and Blenheim Palace. Or there's the annual cheese-rolling contest, due to take place next on May 28, 2012 on Cooper's Hill near Gloucester.
The Hotel Guru verdict
All great; at mid-price try for the cottage room with bath and shower
Excellent, except in the bag-carrying department
Another posh pub, but a really good one
|Food and drink
Perfectly pitched posh pub food
|Value for money
More a hotel than a pub with rooms, but not at hotel prices

Located in Kimberly, this place is easy to forget about. Why? Well, it is off the beaten path (by beaten path, I mean not directly off of CE or Main Street in Kimberly). Tanner's Grill & Bar is a local favorite throughout the year and it is especially a hot spot in the summer, as it is one of the only bars with a pool and indoor volleyball courts. Having only been there for drinks, Food In The Fox decided to give it a shot for lunch this week.
Free (Delicious) Popcorn
First off, they had complementary popcorn at 11:30 AM. They scored some big points with me from the get go with that. The popcorn was salty, buttery and altogether unhealthy (but delicious). Anyways, the place was pretty busy at lunchtime. It was filled with blue collar and white collar people all of whom were mostly enjoying N/A beverages and snacking on popcorn while waiting for their food. Tuesday was Mexican day and they had a few really tempting specials. One of them was a 2 pound burrito for $8. Another was chicken fajitas for $8. Fajitas sounded too good to pass up.
Quick Service & Greasy Fajitas
The food didn't take long to prepare and was on the table shortly after I managed to down a small bowl (or two) of popcorn. There was a large bowl filled with tomatoes, lettuce and cheddar cheese, a plate heaping with chicken, peppers and onions and a side of tortillas, sour cream and salsa. It was quite a large spread of food. The chicken and vegetable mix was cooked in a lot of oil and was a bit greasier than I would have liked. The vegetables were somewhat soggy and lacked flavor, as they tasted mostly of oil. The chicken was also a bit oily, but had more flavor than the vegetables. The fixings' were average and after 2 fajitas, I was full (thanks mostly to the popcorn). The overall meal was average at best.
I doubt I would order the fajitas again, but I would definitely go back to Tanner's for drinks and popcorn, as it is a fun atmosphere.

Medicare Docs Guess at Paychecks Amid Reimbursement Questions
It's no joke for doctors that today marks the day that Medicare's 21% reimbursement pay cuts were to go into effect.
Congress left for its Easter recess without voting to delay the scheduled April 1 start of lower payments to docs. The agency that oversees Medicare has effectively delayed the cuts by deciding not to pay claims for the first 10 business days in April. When Congress returns, it's still expected to adopt another law to delay the cuts for longer, as it has done annually for years now.
So what does the delay in paying claims mean for doctors? In the short-term, their cash flow shouldn't be disrupted much, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. Typically claims are paid no sooner than 14 calendar days anyway, so doctors shouldn't see a dip in their income unless Congress fails to act with a new delay …

According to John P. Harrington, linguist on the staff of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution: "The name 'Topanga' evidently means 'above' with reference to the village site being above the high water of Topanga Creek. The 'nga' with which the name ends means 'place' and the entire name apparently means 'above place' or, as we would say in current English, merely 'above'. The name is an old Shoshonean word and can also be used in reference to the sky or heaven."

In an exclusive interview, the Mexican talked to El Especialito of her album, her passion for painting and immigration reform.
Wrapped by the New York cold, Thalía sounds more human than artist: simple, pleasant, owns an unusual naturalness for those dedicated to the entertainment world.
"I'm more than the fame and those magazine covers. Behind that image, there is a passionate woman who is a mother, wife, sister and friend. At that Thalía, the flesh and blood, they know very little," says without effort.
Her voice denotes a tight security in herself. Not for less. Since the beginning of her career she has been shown to critics of music and her 'haters' who always gets her way.
In 2008, after the poor sales of her album Lunada, many asserted that this setback would be the end of her reign. A year later, no makeup and jeans, she took over the Bank United Center in Miami to record live her mythical Primera Fila and shut mouths.
Today, reinvented and determined to break the mold, returns bolder than ever with Amore Mio, the album marks the return of the Thalía '90s, singer of subjects with a high dose of irreverence.
"Definitely this disc contains a lot of passion and self-esteem. The songs invite you to feel free, sensual and sexual. They have no taboos. So as I feel at this stage of my life," says excitedly.
But Thalía not only talk about music. During the telephone conversation, she expressed her discomfort by slow immigration reform. "It struck me that they mislead Latinos with this issue," she says.
Immigration reform, an unfulfilled promise
Although she did not like to talk about political issues, she is aware of the influence she can exert of her opinions to the public that follows her, bothered with the current landscape of immigration reform. As a Latina, she think about the future of the Hispanic community that remains undocumented and without assurance in the country.
El Especialito: During your last visit to Mexico, you expressed your dissatisfaction with the slow pace of immigration reform. In your radio program, you emphasized a lot on this subject.
Thalía: It's something I will not tolerate. I feel that everyone is searching to get votes.
The Hispanic community works very hard in the US to succeed. It is not fair that they make false promises.

One-Pan Salmon with Spicy Creamed Greens and Tomatoes
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe works well with all types of salmon. Serve the fish with crusty bread. —cheese1227
Food52 Review: A staple recipe for beginners and seasoned cooks alike! This is a fairly standard seafood and greens recipe, but one worthy of the term, "clutch." If you follow the recipe, you can't fail. I followed the recipe exactly and the proportions are good, and the greens well-seasoned.
I used collard greens, which complement salmon nicely. Two things are worth noting, however. There is no creaming of the greens involved, unless you get out your blender, so that is a bit misleading. I would say "creamy" instead. The other thing is these were not spicy. I got a tiny little zing at the end of the bite, but maybe only because I was looking for it. I would double the pepper flakes if this recipe will be called "spicy." —kaytayhay
Serves: 4
5-ounce skinless salmon fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
tablespoons olive oil
cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
garlic cloves, thinly sliced
teaspoon red pepper flakes
cups chopped greens (such as spinach, kale, mustard greens, or Swiss chard)
cup chopped tomatoes
cup vegetable, seafood, or chicken stock
cup cream
- Season the tops of fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. Place the salmon, seasoned-side down, into the hot pan to sear for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan to a plate. The fillets will not yet be cooked through.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onions and sauté until they start to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the greens and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Use a pair of tongs to turn the greens in the oil. Add the tomatoes, stock, and cream. Stir to combine.
- Nestle the salmon fillets, seared side up, into the greens. Cover and cook for 5 minutes for medium rare salmon, 10 minutes if you prefer your salmon more well done.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Recipe with Salmon

Introducing Jay Abraham's...
"Reshaping Your Business Future"
A 26-Week, Highly-Interactive, Business-Growth Mentorship Designed to Catapult Your Profitability and Entrepreneurial Prowess---Orders of Magnitude Higher!
If you're feeling that your business growth and profit performance "trajectory" has stalled or atrophied—I may have the perfect way to correct the problem(s).
I suspect that running your business leaves little time in your day for thinking deeply about changing strategies or about shifting your business model or replacing any/all of your selling and marketing approaches.
But if you want your business to perform stronger be far more profitable or much more competitively superior—I've got an efficient accelerated method for helping you.
I'm conducting a specialized ultra-unique 26-week "group makeover" mastermind alliance—squarely focused on reshaping your stuck business.
But to be considered for participation you MUST already have a profitable business that has buyers prospects and decent commerce occurring. Because—as good as I might be—even I can't multiply zeros. So if you're deeply in the red or not even remotely close to being a viable sustaining enterprise—this discussion should probably stop here.
On the other hand assuming your business IS profitable (just far LESS profitable than you want) my 26-week makeover proposition should deliver noticeable improvements.
Every week you'll implement a different element I share.
That's why I personally expect dramatic increases in the results you've been getting. They'll come from the new actions you'll take all the strategic efforts you'll make expenditures you'll reallocate and untapped opportunities you'll see (that may have always been right in front of your nose).
After several weeks together you should forever drop much of the flawed thinking or underperforming actions you follow now.
So I encourage you to carefully examine what I'm doing with this 26-week encounter—particularly IF you have a fear that your current strategy (and tactics) won't deliver the growth and profitability you want and need your business to start generating.
Again if the strategy you're following and the methods you're using aren't producing the results you want—then my approach is much more likely to work. But there's a rub. You must be willing to effectively change your overall strategic philosophy alter markedly your business model and mental model and move away from actions and activities that get you nowhere.
Stated differently—if you're thinking that I'll give you some instant quick fix magical solution… I won't.
Reshaping a stuck business into a powerful strong business takes committed effort. It's NOT going to be some pie-in-the-sky overnight miracle process. Thinking and acting differently is the key. But it requires disciplined focus a strong/serious prejudice towards action and you must be (or be willing to become) an absolute fanatic monster of execution.
If that sounds overwhelming—then please don't respond.
On the other hand if you're finding it harder and harder to "squeeze-out" more results from whatever you're currently doing—over the next 26 weeks (I suspect) you will see some great results start to happen!
Again shifting your thinking and amending your actions across the board is the key.
That's why I call it a makeover.
If your marketing strategy business model and tactics are weak frail or ineffective—and you want to avoid suffering "the inevitable"—you know that you have to do something DIFFERENT!
Week-by-week you should notice that your business becomes stronger your game plan for the future gets clearer and your understanding of what to start doing differently becomes easier and easier to comprehend. Not to mention the newfound abilities you'll add to your arsenal.
Looking forward you'll feel far more optimistic. Why? Because you'll experience an exciting new intensity when it comes to stimulating great changes in your business.
I'll provide a weekly progress monitor you'll use. Together we'll track (and note) all the significant levels of improvement you experience.
Even more—every session will be recorded and made available to you to review again and again.
My intention is that every week for two non-theoretical/no-nonsense hours I'll push you in a stimulating motivating—but action-based way—that ends each session with something very specific for you to do DIFFERENTLY.
I think you will walk away from each group collaborative makeover session feeling great and possessing an ever-multiplying sense of clarity.
If getting you great results in a rather short 26 weeks sounds too good to be true think about this: It's been proven decisively that sequential progressive process-oriented training/mentorship/guidance generates outstanding to outrageous benefits as compared to static events such as seminars or conferences.
Not only that—the core content I'll be delivering over the 26 weeks will be many times more substantial than the output that usually results from a two day conference.
Think about it.
We're talking two hours a week for 26 weeks—
ALL totally focused ALL interactive ALL based on real-life situations.
This represents 52 highly concentrated hours of expert knowledge and instruction compared to an estimated five hours of information per day you'd gain from a two day conference that frequently starts late takes loads of breaks has mixed message speakers etc.
Plus my agenda is pure/straightforward. I have nothing else to sell you. I'm committed to deep meaningful full-length education—NO teasing or abstract theories will be spoken on these twice-a-week sessions.
Once you've learned how to solidly think and act differently I can then challenge you to perform at well beyond your business' previous result levels.
And because these fast-paced weekly discussion segments will challenge (and clarify) both your mental model and transactional ability—they should stimulate rapid improvements—if you're willing to commit to the process and follow-through every week.
I know that I'm willing to commit MY top effort and ability to help reshape your business in 26 weeks. The question here is: Are YOU willing to give yourself your top effort and commitment as well?
Now the bad news: This is totally experimental—beta on my part. So I'm not interested (or trying) to attract hundreds or thousands of you.
I'm only looking for 100 quality entrepreneurs—eager and committed to learning my most evolved current strategic thinking knowledge methods and mindset.
So rather than allow automatic enrollment I have charged my Director of Admissions Rob Colasanti to explore mutual suitability.
If your current path is in need of a significant course correction and you can prove you are ready to consistently apply the process and makeover dynamic required of all selected participants please submit your Application for Acceptance now by clicking the button on this page and filling out the brief inquiry form.
Rob will get back to you right away to determine if a mentorship with me is a good fit—both ways.
If you still feel uncertain—that probably means you shouldn't be doing this right now.
No matter what results-level your business operates at—at this point in your life—I feel confident that you can reshape its future and your own.
My proposition is NOT right for many people. So no offense here if you decline taking action.
In respectful consideration for your sincere willingness to examine this process by speaking to Rob Colasanti I want to reward you generously with a one-of-a-kind five-session video short course called "Back to Basics.
Each approximately 30 minute session explains explores examines and expounds on a different "Abraham Fundamental" that is powerfully relevant right now.
This is EASILY a $1000 dollar program that I've never gifted or released previously.
Each segment can be acted upon instantly. It's exciting. You'll enjoy it!
[Note: Jay's 26-Week Mentorship is Only $5000 USD. Serious applicants only.]

The stepmom of three children who were taken by their father to the Bahamas on a sailboat against custody orders is being held without bail in Hawaii and will be extradited to Montana.
Circuit Court Judge Greg Nakamura on Hawaii's Big Island on Wednesday ordered Angela Bryant, 45, to be held without bail, pending extradition, Hawaii County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jason Skier told the Associated Press.
Skier said Nakamura approved his request to reconsider Bryant's bail amount, which had been previously set at $250. Montana authorities have until June 13 to take her back.
Her public defender, Michael Ebesugawa, could not immediately be reached for comment after Wednesday's hearing.
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer last month directly asked Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie to return Bryant to the mainland.
The children's father, James Ray Bryant, 44 pleaded guilty earlier this week in Montana to a felony count of parenting interference, after the children's mother said he failed to return them under a custody agreement. Under Montana law, parenting interference carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
Angela Bryant faces similar charges.
The abduction touched off a months-long search last year.
After receiving an anonymous tip that Angela Bryant had flown to Hawaii, police there put the home where she was staying under surveillance, then arrested her during a traffic stop. She told police that her husband and the children were in south Florida. In March, border agents searching for Bryant and the children spotted a boat 30 miles off the Florida coast attempting to return to Bahamian waters. The children _ Megan Bryant, 15, Maxwell Bryant, 13, and Sebastian Bryant, 12 _ were on board, along with a dog, a cat, a lizard and a snake. Authorities said they had no reason to believe the children were in any immediate danger.
The children were reunited with their mother and legal guardian, Kelly Bryant.
Soon after her arrest last month, Angela Bryant didn't agree to waive extradition. Weeks of delayed hearings ensued. "It took a while, but in the end, the right decision was reached," Skier said. "The governor's warrant circumvents her trying to delay this any further."

Travelling to Dunedin, New zealand
Flying to Dunedin
If you are traveling from Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, you may be able to get a direct flight on New Zealand's discount airline Freedom Air, The regular price is a little over AU$500 return, including all taxes and charges. Special deals are offered from time to time, so you may get a discount on these prices (last time I checked the basic price was $165 each way from Melbourne).
If you are coming from other places, you will need to get a connecting flight, probably through Christchurch or Auckland.
Tux does New Zealand
An alternative to a direct or connecting flight to Dunedin is to fly in to Auckland and take some time to see the country on the way to Dunedin. We suggest taking a week or more to see the country. (There will be a wiki available to people who have registered to coordinate their travel plans).
Entry into New Zealand
If you are a citizen of Australia, you will just need a passport. If you come from another country, you may need a visa as well as a passport. From the USA and most of Europe, you don't need a visa if you come here for less than three months. You will find more detailed information by following the links below or check with a local travel agent to confirm the entry requirements.

(BaseballStL ) --When the Cardinals take on the Dodgers in Game 6 on Friday, the Redbirds are looking to erase some bitter memories of past NLCS finishes. Even though they've won 7 of their last 8 elimination games, the Cards have lost 7 straight games while having a 3-1 lead in the NLCS. The Cards have also been outscored 58-6 during those games.
When reminded of last year's collaspe to San Francisco, Cards catcher Yadier Molina squelched the talk of another meltdown. " I don't know why you guys keep talking about last year", said Molina. "We're not thinking about that. It's different. We're facing a different team."
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are hoping that the Cardinals have fresh thoughts of last year's NLCS defeat to the Giants. "We've kind of become America's team, because everyone wants to see a seventh game," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "Probably the fans in St.Louis would like a seventh game. "
The Cardinals will send rookie Michael Wacha against L.A. ace Clayton Kershaw. "We're O.K.", said Cards outfielder Carlos Beltran. "We have a one game lead. We weren't expecting to come here and have it easy."
