Stealing From the Collection Plate
By William Salyers
Recently, in a social media group reserved for members of Actors Equity, the Stage Actors' Union, someone asked the question "Can you describe in four individual words, not a sentence, what theatre is?" The responses were varied, but some words were repeated, and telling.
These weren't audience members commenting. They were actors. Professionals. I can't recall my father, a lifelong welder and pipe-fitter, ever describing his work that way. I don't think I've ever heard a stevedore say his or her work held any of the aforementioned qualities; nor a transit worker, carpenter, or cop.
In fact, when I think of those words, there's really only one other place I can recall hearing them regularly used to describe an experience: the First Baptist Church in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. I was a member and weekly (if not always enthusiastic) attendee throughout my teenage years. Every Sunday, I heard the reverend and various other "witnesses" describe the magical, transformative love of the Lord Jesus Christ and how passionate and inspired it left them. I, too, tried to get passionate and inspired by the magical Word Of the Lord, but somehow, the fire never caught. That is, until I stood on a stage.
Don't worry – if you think you're about to read my version of how theater saved my life and redeemed my soul, you're not. You've already heard it, or lived it, like countless others, and I'm sure my tale of redemption would sound much the same. It's a common one among actors, even those of us who get paid for what we do.
But I digress.
The Bartlesville First Baptist Church seemed to have a lot of money. It was a beautiful house for The Lord, with wide walls, tall ceilings, and impressive lighting and sound systems. The minister drove a nice car and wore good suits, at least by my boyhood standards, for that place and time. Even so, at every service, the offering plate was passed. It was a simple metal bowl used to collect the donations of parishioners, usually in envelopes, sometimes in damp handfuls of bills and coins. Knowing that small community as it was then, I'm guessing the range of offerings, coming from all kinds of people, the wealthy and the wretched, was pretty wide.
Nevertheless, there were some people – usually children – who would pass the plate a little lighter than it was when it was handed to them. They would pretend to put something in, while in reality, taking something out. They stole from the collection plate.
I noticed this, on occasion, but would never rat out the offender. I wasn't a snitch. I wasn't superstitious; apparently not even enough to be a "good Christian," but on the other hand, even I thought there was something pathetic about stealing from a church.
Here was a place where almost everyone thought – even passionately believed – that they were participating in something special, something worthy of reverence. They were coming together in a communal act to sit as an audience, sing and listen to music, and watch a man deliver a monologue about the ephemeral, the eternal and the sacred.
And there was some turd-in-a-punchbowl stealing from them.
Yes, them; because, if you asked them about it, they were that church.
First Baptist Church was not, ultimately, my tabernacle. When I found my faith, it was a different kind; and although my churches' resources are nowhere near those of FBC, the services still often involve an audience, singing and listening to music, and speeches about the ephemeral, eternal and sacred.
And there are still turds in the punchbowl.
There are still those who want to steal from the collection plate. They even go so far as to volunteer their labor to the church to speak or sing, and then claim, after the fact, that their services were not sacred, not an offering, but just another job; one for which they have now decided they are owed the minimum wage. They betray their congregation for, in modern terms, much less than thirty pieces of silver.
I'm sure that some of those First Baptist Church members were paid, on occasion, to sing. I remember their beautiful voices, and I'd be surprised if they weren't sometimes hired to bring their talents to weddings and other such gatherings, just as I'd be shocked to hear that any of them presented a bill to the church for their Sunday services.
The sacred is sacred, and the mundane, mundane. It takes both to sustain life, and I pity the person who can't tell them apart, who confuses one for the other.
Because that person, ultimately, is just a — well… you know what they are. We all do.

Testimonials for Topic Builders, Geelong
Geelong home builders
Dear Adrian,
We are writing to let Topic Builders & Architects know how much we appreciate all you have done for us. As you know, we have never had the opportunity to build our own home before. People who had built before warned us to expect problems, delays and general stress. We were prepared for the worse…and got the best.
The initial stages were with your consultant who took great care to ensure we were happy with every detail. He nursed us through the legalities and spent many hours planning our home. He assured us we would receive a very personal service and be involved with every stage of building. We doubted this exceptional service would continue once we signed the contract, but how wrong we were. Not only were we treated as if we were your most important clients, our home was built with none of the delays, problems and stress we had been warned of.
It progressed much faster than we could ever have hoped for. The quality and workmanship have been first class. We would have no hesitation in recommending Topic Builders & Architects to anyone, in fact we wouldn't have anyone else build a home for us. With all the builders and big names available we consider ourselves very fortunate to have chosen you.
We arrived seven months ago from England with the dream of building our own home. Not only have we fulfilled that dream, it has been a wonderful experience that we have really enjoyed. We can't thank you enough for all your help, consideration and a first rate service.Gerard and Coleen McCabeGeelong
Newtown home builders
To the Topic Builders & Architects team,
From initial contact to handover, our experience with Topic Builders & Architects was extremely positive.
Designing a contemporary Newtown property to meet our expectations on a relatively small block (approximately 345 square metres) whilst a challenge, was achieved with great success. Our requests were received well and where possible, initiated. The inevitable changes of mind along the way were accepted amicably.
The building process requires considerable cooperation and coordination. The Topic team was able to accomplish both with a high level of professionalism and expertise.
Our home exhibits a high level of quality. A consequence of the utilization of very particular and proud craftsmen and products throughout. A caring family business; caring about their business, caring about their clients.Ralph and Heather SinclairNewtown

Dear Adrian, Buck and Peter,
Just a brief note to express our sincere gratitude to Topic Builders & Architects for the beautiful home you built on our land in Wandana Heights.
Your design ideas, workmanship, friendly counsel and customer service were all of a high and commendable quality. All of these features have ensured a quick sale in quite trying and economic times.
We would have no hesitation in recommending your business to any future Geelong home builder.
Thank you again.Roselyn and Glen SmithGeelong
Geelong builders
Dear Adrian,
Just a short note to let Topic Builders & Architects, Geelong, know how thoroughly impressed we are with our new house in Geelong. It was nice to come across a builder who cared as much, if not more, for our home than we do.
The service and workmanship was of the highest standard possible and we are unable to find a single flaw with our new home.Justin Hamling and Melanie KnevittGeelong
Barwon Heads home builders
Dear Adrian,
Thank you very much for the great effort that you and the team at Topic Builders & Architects put in, from first consultation through to handover of keys. There were no delays or hitches throughout the project. I think you were pouring the foundations two days after I signed up, yet workmanship and attention to detail were always very evident from the many visits I made to the site. I very much appreciated being regularly involved in the progressive design and construction process, on a weekly basis. All discussions were conducted in a very polite professional and transparent manner, but in a family-like atmosphere. By the time we approached conclusion I felt comfortable just turning up at your office to have a chat rather than talk business.
I was pleased to have direct contact with a selection of your recommended trade and furnishing suppliers that listened and implemented my personal preferences to help achieve a custom Barwon Heads beach house that felt like home the day I moved in.
Well, thanks again guys and keep up the good work.Ross WithersBarwon Heads
Geelong house designs
Dear Adrian,
Now that we've been in the house a few months, we love it even more, so I thought that it was time to write you a short note of appreciation for the work that you did to build our lovely house.
A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with some colleagues at work, when one of them began to tell a sorry tale of her house construction. She had chosen a well-known Melbourne builder for her dream home, but the dream had become a nightmare. As I sat back and listened to the tale of shoddy workmanship and poor customer service, I thought to myself, "Thank goodness we chose Topic Builders & Architects to build our home".
From the moment that we entered your offices during our search for a builder, we were treated with courtesy and respect. Pete, your customer liaison person, was great. Nothing was too much trouble for him, even though we made it clear that we were still considering our options in terms of builders. What impressed us most, though, was what we saw as Pete drove us around Geelong, showing us your previous work. Without exception, if we passed a Topic house and the owner was outside, they would immediately wave to Pete and invite us in to see the house. That, in itself, spoke volumes to us about how you conducted your business. Now that you have built our house, if Pete ever passes this way with prospective clients, we'll certainly be happy to have them in to see your work.
Your professionalism, advice, and service and that of your site supervisor, Paul, were exemplary. You all worked together to produce a great outcome and you cared about what you did. We knew that our house wasn't just another job to be done as quickly as possible so that you could move onto the next one. We had the feeling that each house you build is like a baby to you and you want to make sure that it is born into the world in the best possible way.
Then there's your architect, Buck. One of your strengths is that you have your own Geelong architect, with whom you work in harmony because you complement each other – his designs and your building techniques. Even though we only had vague ideas of what we wanted (ie "put all the living areas on one level and take advantage of the views" was about the extent of our instructions to him), it didn't take long for Buck to come up with a design that we loved. His design ideas, even for the smallest detail, were great.
Unlike my work colleague above, we experienced no poor workmanship or indifferent customer service. Your tradesmen have worked for you for a long time; they understand well the high standards that you expect and they deliver to that high standard. Of course, there were the inevitable unanticipated problems that came up during the building of our house, but these were minor and resolved quickly.
We have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone contemplating building a home.Domenico and Kelly LombardoGeelong

Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign is shrugging off a media furor about the candidate's refusal today to repeat his November statement that he would support Donald Trump if Trump wins the nomination.
"He said he would support the nominee and [that] Trump won't be it repeatedly," said spokesman Tim Miller when Breitbart asked about the afternoon media mini-storm.
As described in MSNBC, Bush was repeatedly asked to say if he still would support Trump, during a campaign-stop visit to a law firm in Manchester, N.H.
But Bush is trying to win the nomination, so it makes no sense for him to devote any time — especially during his own campaign stop — to effectively endorse Trump for the job he is seeking for himself.
The exchange, according to MSNBC, went like this:
"… After the event, Bush repeatedly ducked questions from reporters as to whether he would support Trump, who leads Bush in state and national polls by a wide margin, should the billionaire earn the GOP nomination.
"Look, he's not going to be the nominee," Bush said.
"But if by some chance–" a reporter began before being cut off.
"He's not going to be the nominee," Bush said.
Bush was later asked whether the current front-runner was "a better choice than Hillary Clinton."
"He's not going to win the nomination," he said. "As people in New Hampshire get closer to this they're going to want to know who has the capability of winning the general election and who can be president."
On Nov. 29, Bush answered the question by saying he'd support Trump because "because anybody is better than Hillary Clinton."
According to CNN poll released Dec. 8, Trump has 32 percent support in New Hampshire, while Bush is stuck at 8 percent in the state.

Tips And Advice For Getting Into The Stock Market
What's contained within this article can change your life. If you're considering investing, you need what is provided here, in order to be successful. If profits are what you desire and you have the drive and determination to keep you going through both the good and bad times, read on to find out the secret to success.
Use your voting rights if you own some common stocks. While each company differs, you may be able to vote for directors or for proposals that involve major changes like merging with another company. Voting may be done by proxy through the mail or at the shareholders' annual meeting.
Many people who are just starting with stock market investments purchase mutual funds. Mutual funds are usually low risk investments due to their diversification. The beauty of mutual funds is that you obtain a nice range of stocks, and you have a professional who is conducting all the research on the different companies in your investment portfolio.
Investing through a brokerage has become very affordable over the past few years; however, it is still important for you to shop around. When deciding which brokerage to use, you should compare the fees that are assessed for trading, along with other fees such as account maintenance fees. You should also take into account the research tools that are available, the convenience of using their interface, and the level of customer support offered.
Information is vital to having good management and decision-making skills for your stock portfolio. You must be well-versed in current marketing information in order to create a plan that doesn't make you to lose everything you have. Be sure you have immediate access to all of the prices of the bonds, funds, and shares.
To be successful in stock market investing, it is essential to read widely. Practice reading annual reports and understand how basic accounting methods are used to display company information. Look up unfamiliar terms in a good online glossary. Empowering yourself with investment information can go a long way in increasing your success.
When it comes to purchasing shares, there are two distinct types to choose from: preferred shares and common shares. There is a greater risk factor of losing money with investing in common shares if the company you own shares in goes out of business. The reason for this is that bond holders, creditors and those who own preferred stocks will be first in line to regain some of their money from a company that stops functioning since they have a higher ranking than a common shareholder.
Be prepared to wait it out. When you are investing in stocks, be prepared to leave them alone for a minimum of five years. Make sure that you are able to manage without that money, as it is the only way you will see a good profit. If the market starts to do poorly, try to remain levelheaded, and understand that just as the market goes down, it will rebound, but it takes time.
As simple as reading this article and using the tips included in it, you can start turning a profit on your investments and doing what it takes to succeed in investing. Whichever market you choose, or whatever level of investment you feel comfortable with, it doesn't take much effort, once you have the knowledge necessary. These tips can help you to enjoy your new income stream!

Race for the Cure
Posted October 8, 2014
We are excited to announce that the A-1 family will participate in the October 12th, 2014 race for the cure! The race is a wonderful opportunity to promote health, breast cancer awareness and fund raise for the cure. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. That means more than likely, we have all been touched by the disease.
In an effort to support the cure and raise awareness, A-1 will donate $1 to the Susan Komen Foundation for every invoice processed in the month of October.

How Not to Get Burned Out as a Grad Student
Graduate students have to go through a lot to successfully attain their degrees. The stress of working long hours, shortage of funds, really high expectations from parents and peers and many other traits play a vital role in leading to a burnout in graduate students.
In this article, we'll discuss problems that cause burnouts and how to prevent them from happening so you can relax and continue to focus on your goals without too much of a strain on your back.
The Main Factor Behind a Burnout
Stress is something that every person has to inevitably face in life from time to time. For graduate students, it is even more relentless. As a student, they have to focus more on attaining promising results to be awarded with a degree and most of them pay for their studies by working part-time or, in some cases, full-time jobs. The three things that keep us thriving, physical, mental and emotional well being, get severely restrained as a result which is a guaranteed recipe for a burnout
When stress remains unchecked, it leads to a burnout – which is something that nobody should have to experience. However, don't mix up a burnout with stress. The latter is something that can be managed and still allow you to work, or in this case, study. A burnout on the other hand, leads to nothingness; a person doesn't feel like working and he/she doesn't have the motivation to do anything rather than spending time in bed or generally a non-productive way. For the time being, he/she has almost completely exhausted his/her mental capabilities due to "overdoing it".
How to Prevent a Burnout
Thankfully, there are solutions to this dilemma. Usually, a burnout is caused by lack of rest, motivation and physical activity. In order to prevent burnouts, you have to keep certain things in check; your body is getting all the nutrients essential to function normally and that your mind has a chance to relax as you do what you love, apart from working or studying. To avoid burnouts, make sure you:
Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a day to recover mentally and physically from your daily routine.
Eat a balanced diet which includes proteins, nuts, dairy, green vegetables in particular to rejuvenate your mind and body.
Meditate as it can help a lot when you want to escape from chronic stress.
While the above mentioned tips are necessities for a healthier you, there are several other things that you can do to prevent burnouts while working hard as a grad student:
Give Yourself Some Time in the Morning
Most of us wake up in the morning and pick up our phone, tablet or laptop and check for emails to get ready for work to know what's headed our way. Unfortunately, this puts you in that proverbial work mode where your stress receptors are automatically activated and you sometimes even forget to breath properly.
It is highly recommended that you break away from this habit and engage in tasks such as yoga, meditation or reading before you get ready for work.
Keep Away from Technology as Much as Possible
While this might seem like counterintuitive at a glance, detaching yourself from smartphones, tablets, computers and social media platforms in particular, will keep you away from a lot of stress. How? You'll have plenty of time for yourself which means getting more work done; you'll be completely fresh and ready to hit the books hard, rather than getting bombarded with technology left and right. Don't drain your brain juice prematurely. Pull out your smartphone or tablet screen only when you have to. .
According to Dailymail, people spend almost 9 hours a day using technology, which is 3 hours more than a quarter of 24 hours. This is why you'll be more stressed because you have less time for yourself and probably even less to complete really important daily tasks such as studying.
Separate Your Professional and Personal Life
We see a lot of people taking their work home. This may look like a good solution to completing daily work tasks, but in reality, it is one of the most major causes of a burnout.
What you need to do is keep your home and personal life separate from your professional life. You'll immediately start to feel the stress slipping away from your shoulders.
Know When to Say Yes or No
Graduate students have to indulge in a lot of hard work to be able to gain a PhD degree in their respective field. However, there are times when this isn't always possible; for example, the need to help others when you don't even have time for yourself or neglecting secondary projects so you can focus more on your primary one.
This prevent you from having a normal and productive day, which if consistent, leads to a burnout.
Share Your Burden with Someone Else
We all know there are people who set their emotional well being aside just to socially blend in. There are even people who'll appear very look happy on the outside, but from the inside, their emotional well being is not at peace and they are burned out without even knowing it. If that's the case with you, consider sharing your problems with someone, particularly those who are or have been in similar circumstances.
This can reduce the stress that's on your shoulders and will effectively detach you from other problematic tasks that lead to burnouts. Remember, sharing is a good habit. So share away and get that load off your shoulders.
Make a Habit of Taking Breaks
If you have dedicated yourself to working and studying only, you'll find that the road to getting burned out is right in front of you. It's only a matter of time.. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you get involved in some fun activities and take breaks during weekends or even in the evenings when it all gets a little too much.
Give yourself a chance to break away from that work/study routine because we all need variety in our lives and need to have fun. Besides, all work and no play really does make Jack a dull boy!
Maintaining a healthy routine and incorporating the above tips guarantees that you do not risk a burnout and continue to pursue your goals and dreams as a graduate student.

"Minestra Ingredients Directions Makes 8 servings This is a classic minestrone recipe. Classic minestrone always contains Swiss chard and red kidney beans. The other ingredients are optional, and are a matter of personal taste or choice. Zucchine, summer squash, broccoli, and cauliflower, just to name a few, work well in this recipe. I learned to love greens as a child. When school was out during the summer, I spent two weeks with my grandparents in the country. My grandmother was a former professional cook, and my grandfather always raised a large garden. There was always vegetables galore to choose from. Kale was my favorite. Kale and Swiss chard are in the same family of greens so when I saw a recipe with Swiss chard in it, I immediately decided to make it. I also kept the kidney beans from the recipe that I had, but the other ingredients are my own personal choices. This soup has a rich taste that will delight your palate. Make some and enjoy."

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim wants to get public money for his campaign for governor, but the state told him no. That's because of his past public corruption convictions.
Ganim is now taking the state to court, after filing a federal lawsuit against the State Elections Enforcement Commission.
Ganim has argued that ruling violates his constitutional rights to free speech and equal political opportunity.
"He's right that the courts have found spending money on political campaigns is a form of free speech -- and there's a First Amendment right to do that. But the First Amendment right comes from not limiting your speech," said Joshua A. Douglas, a professor who teaches election and constitutional law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. "Here, he's seeking to take the government's money and use it for additional speech and the government has put some conditions on that money."
Douglas said that includes limits on contributions and spending caps.
"The courts have said there's no fundamental right to be a candidate," Douglas said. "And so it's not like his rights are being violated because they're making it harder for him to be a candidate."
Interestingly, Douglas was contacted by the Ganim campaign, but gave them no formal advice or legal representation. He thinks Ganim has an uphill legal battle and said going forward, the question for the courts will be whether Connecticut has a "valid interest" in barring candidates with prior public corruption charges from public campaign money.

Phew. I AM ZONKED.. I think I am the equivelent of tired that I was after going to carowinds 3 days in a row! I'm pushing through though- thank you coffee! Honestly my girly time is killing me big time this go around plus I stayed up late several nights on the weekend and yeah.. its catching up!
last night I was ready to go well before David got home at 6- and he sat here for an hour and a half before we ever went to go eat and get a couple things at the store. I was like um.. seriously? because if I hadn't been ready he would have been more than ready to go lol. That is the way it always goes- he wasn't even doing anything that was important just playing that stupid war game he plays- which I could write you a whole rant on that but I won't!
Anyways I had hoped we could even maybe go eat like the pizza buffet or even somewhere over in H-vile because I need to take something back to the store over there that has a hole in it- but by that time there wasn't really any need to head out very far from home because I know the pizza buffet stops at 8 and most places around here close at 9 so.. we ended up eating at the japanese place which was fine but not really what I wanted I guess.
I need TONS of stuff at walmart but since it was already getting late I just decided to grab stuff for me to have lunch with for a few days (Hi there tv meals) and stuff to make hotdogs with for tonight and some green tea. Other than that I decided to just wait…though I wish I had grabbed razors and kleenex lol oh and some better tp than this crap I have- ugh do not get me started on it but it is absolutely the WORST TP ever!
I came home, chilled watched PLL (which sucked- seriously this whole season has pretty well sucked. there were a few episodes that have been really good but mostly they have been like wake me up if something happens) our internet was being a PAIN so I ended up watching it in slow mo basically but anyways-
somehow another I manged to stay up till after 12 watching tv! I swear I was in bed at like..10 so I don't even know how I keep doing these things lol. Anyways- needless to say I slept right through David leaving this morning but my 8ish I was semi in and out of sleep and got up at 9 or so. and.. well I wasn't going to write this part but…
Does anyone remember in July of 2013 when I had my little "breakdown" ? I kind of woke up crying and couldn't stop and it continued like on and off the entire day, I went on st johns wort for about 10 months and all was good after that for the most part? well.. I know I menitoned monday I kinda had a bah humbug blues thing- anyways I was putting towels in the dryer and here comes water works out of the blue! It wasn't too bad but it kinda made me a bit worried so.. I just wanted to get out of the house if I could today.
Luckily my mom was going to be out and about and when I mentioned that I had been wanting some clothes that were more summer-ish and what not she mentioned this thrift shop right up from my house that I had never been too. She said maybe we could go tomorrow but some reason she changed her mind and we went today and i got 6 out fits and a pair of shoes for 35 bucks! The shoes are a bit too slick on tile so I need to fix that- I know my moma used to stick those bath tub grip things on my shoes as a child so I might do it myself lol. I know I don't want broke ankle #3!
We also went to the library and another thrift shop (didn't get anything) and then out for lunch so that was nice. I am probably gonna go to her house tomorrow or friday and maybe we can go to goodwill or something.. I think sometimes i just tend to go a bit stir crazy.
Well.. I'm waiting for David .. I know we need to go back to walmart but I am not even bothering getting ready till after he is home ..I think I might drink some coffee in the mean time though.. I usually don't drink it after 5 but.. it's either drink it or go crash for the night! I am hoping that I can get up and shave and get some things in the house done early tomorrow!

When it comes to parenting, you never know what the day is going to bring when you first wake up in the morning. You can have it all planned out: wake up, change diapers, get dressed, brush teeth, comb hair, eat, play, work, run errands, baby sleeps, eat, play, baby sleeps, work, repeat. That's pretty much how it goes, minus the curve balls that get thrown at you several times per day. Like the temper tantrum your three year old pulls right before leaving the house. The, "I have to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW!" And you're running around frantic searching for the nearest restroom! Or the diaper explosion at the grocery store. With two little ones in each of our houses it takes an hour to get out of the house. It doesn't matter if you are running to the store because you forgot you are out of almond milk or you are going to the park for a play date. It always takes an hour.
Aside from the challenges we face daily, the adventures we find in everyday are beautiful, rewarding, and magical.The wonder, imagination and constant learning fills our lives with fulfillment and joy.
Parenthood has it's challenges. We are always asking ourselves, "What is the best thing for my daughter or son?" "How much screen time is okay without frying their little brains?" "What is in that plastic toy my baby keeps chewing on?" "Can they eat that?" "Can they do this?" Everyday we learn something new, just when we thought we had it all figured out.
When we discovered Little Adventure Toys, we were excited to give our baby girls the wooden teething toys to help ease their swollen gums from those adorable first teeth breaking through. They are the perfect size for their little baby hands. When we first thought about giving the girls wooden toys we worried about them splintering but these are made from hard rock maple which doesn't splinter and even has anti-bacterial properties. Little Adventure Toys makes a plethora of different wooden teethers, which are all equally adorable. They are sanded down and protected by an organic beeswax and olive oil finish making them smooth to the touch and the chew! These wooden toys are classic. Our babies will be able to play with them for years, even after they are finished chewing on them. Once they are no longer putting everything in their mouths, they will be able to use their imagination and play with the fun wooden shapes.
We are huge advocates for natural toys and love all Little Adventure Toys has to offer!
We have partnered up with Little Adventure Toys for a giveaway! Enter to win a $20 store credit for any of their handcrafted wooden toys! To enter, comment here with your favorite Little Adventure Toy! Check out our Instagram account for more chances to win! Good luck!

Tiger Woods is back. And as ESPN's Chris Berman would say, he's going "back, back, back, way back" to his junior golf days to find a swing to overcome Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 major victories.
Woods, with the help of his new swing coach Chris Como, recently poured over old VHS tapes from the '90s searching to find the successful swing mechanisms that created awesome power for a then skinny teenager, who went on to win three U.S. Amateur Championships.
"Actually, it's pretty interesting trying to find a VHS recorder," Tiger explained in a pre-tournament presser. "I have a lot of tapes like that. Fortunately, my mom is of age where she has that still in the house. So that was very beneficial to look at some of the old tapes."
Woods, now eight months past being sidelined by lower-back surgery, says that he is feeling great. "I'm past the rehab portion of it," Woods said. "Now I'm in the strength and development of it."
Not a stranger to rehab and making comebacks, this is Tiger's fifth return after surgeries to various parts of his body, including his Achilles tendon and knees. Those rehabs, Fox Sports reported, lasted anywhere from four weeks to four months.
Not yet where he wants to be, Woods said that he is pleased with the progress he is making with coach Como. Como appears to be structuring Tiger's swing in a more upright position, making it less flat, and longer. The changes are easy for Tiger because they represent the foundation of his swing when he was younger and relied more on his exceptional athleticism.
"It hasn't taken me that long to implement it. I haven't done it in a long time but my body's remembering it. I'm very pleased with my speed and the freedom I have, and what I'm doing with the golf ball," Tiger said.
Golf.com reported that the golf legend is quite excited about his new/old technique: "I don't feel like I'm hitting it very hard, but it's coming off the face faster."
Tiger begins his 2015 golf campaign on Thursday at his own tournament, the Hero World Challenge, to be held at Isleworth.

Those creative folks over at Southern Bell have decided to give us yet another opportunity to personalize our lives, to stand out from the crowd.
It wasn`t enough that somebody somewhere came up years ago with the idea of vanity license plates, and people with GRAT LOVR and I LUV CATS and GUNNUT on the backs of their cars were allowed to clog our roads.
And it wasn`t enough that somebody had to give the world those ridiculous yellow, diamond ``On Board`` signs, so that you now know the fellow wearing all the jewelry in the black Jaguar next to you on I-95 has his ``Ex-Wife in Trunk.`` You probably could have guessed that without the aid of the nifty yellow sign.
So now, for those of you who have gotten terribly bored and feel unfulfilled in your life by just dialing seven meaningless digits, Southern Bell is hoping to give us personalized phone numbers -- or, as the phone company calls it, ``Stylist Service.``
Instead of that boring number you used to have, you may soon have the chance -- at a one-time cost of $25 for an individual, plus a monthly charge to get the number in the phone book -- to put a four-letter word after a three-number exchange. You are advised to keep it clean, friends.
There will be, of course, the basic vanity numbers for people selling something -- 422-HAIR for a stylist, 964-BLAB for a timesharing salesman, 778- ROOF, 231-AUTO, etc.
But I think some folks deserve a number that really gives them the stamp of individuality, that makes a statement.
For example, the following numbers and people might match up nicely:
822-MUTE -- For ``national hero`` Oliver North.
781-DITZ -- For the one and only Vanna White.
555-BOSS -- For Nancy Reagan.

Reef Check California (RCCA) surveys consist of visual surveys performed by scuba divers. At each site, buddy teams of divers conduct eighteen 30 m x 2 m benthic transects, to monitor key species of fishes (35 species), invertebrates (33 species) and algae (5 species & 4 invasive species) and to characterize the reef substrate and relief. Each site is divided into two "zones" by depth (shallow 5-12 meters and deep 12-18 meters - or from offshore to inshore at sites with little depth variation) to assure that samples are distributed across the face of a reef from inshore to offshore. Species are selected because of their ecological or economic importance or because they are of specific management interest.
Algae are counted on 6 transects per site (3 transects in each zone). Each transect is a 2m wide x 30m long swath along the seafloor. Five species or species groups of algae are identified and counted along the transect. For Macrocystis pyrifera the number of stipes greater than 1 meter off the seafloor are counted and recorded for each individual encountered along the transect. If more than 50 individuals of an algae species are counted along the transect this species is sub-sampled. Sub-sampling is done by counting about 50 individuals and recording the distance along the transect at which this number of individuals is reached. Therefore, to generate densities for a 60 square meter area the count needs to be divided by the distance variable and then multiplied by 30.
For a complete description of the algae sampling methods see the RCCA monitoring protocol at: http://reefcheck.org/rcca/monitoring_protocol.php.

Communities of practice are groups of people that share a common passion for something that the practice and what to learn how to practice it better and develop it further. This could be anything from IT specialists to doctors. These social systems have boundaries that define their membership base and would be members must prove their worth before being able to access and contribute in them. If a practice is quite specialised the community may remain quite small to ensure quality and experience.
Online communities differ as they are far more lenient in terms of those who participate, in fact if they do not have specific membership criteria the number of members can be endless. Resulting in a very large membership base where there is more knowledge brought to the community, but as well the actual connection between members could be far removed and weak.

- The Domain – is an identity created by a shared interest or competence that distinguishes those in the community from other people.
- The Community – must be engaged in activities that encourage and educate other members and provide information and solutions.
- The Practice – members are practitioners in their domain and through developing their shared repertoire of resources, in time develop a way of best practice.
With this in mind you can see how it is crucial for managers to not ignore COP's in their organisations but facilitate these further.
In the past it was thought that communities of practice could not be forced within an organisation directed from management but that they emerged from the bottom up built around interests and practice. However, organisations today are encouraging and sometimes even require their employees to form COP's to harness the collective knowledge of their experts. COP's are being integrated with company's formal management structures, actively being managed with specific goals and accountability in order to "deliver creative solutions to challenges that bridge functional gaps" (McDermott and Archibald, 2010, pg. 83).
__________ has accepted your friend request!
McDermott and Archibald (2010) explain that COP's are a powerful management tool which provide the company with a competitive advantage by leveraging knowledge and that they should be incorporated into company culture (think back to my last post about Personal Knowledge Networks and how this relates).
Gelin and Milusheva (2011) also describe the benefits for businesses whereby their internal communications and knowledge sharing is improved and also information sharing with the organization's external partners are more efficient, resulting in overall business success.
However, it is clear to see where the limitations with COP's in business are. If they are not actively managed and controlled the members could loose direction and the amount of resources spent of the COP would ultimately be wasted. Therefore businesses must determine the benefit of having COP's and devise strategies to proactively provide management needed for these groups.
Also, it the members to these groups are not monitored or correctly legitimised, the COP's could spiral away from their original purpose of practice resulting in directionless thinking that does not provide results either for the business or the practice itself.
Thoughts on this…
I am always astounded when researching for these blog I come across explanations or definitions of things encountered in everyday life that actually have a proper name. I realise that I am part of many online communities of businesses, through my activity and involvement. My favourite is Cool Dog Group, which is an online community of dog lovers, facilitated by Facebook's 'Group' platform.
What about you? Are you a member of an online community you were until now unaware of? Or even a member of a community of practice? (I myself probably don't have the life experience for that yet… however I am pretty qualified in eating pizza…)

Veterinary support and rhino orphan care
Veterinary Services: Kruger National Park and EzemveloThe Rhino Protection Programme provides the means to strengthen the capacity of key wildlife veterinary teams in Kruger National Park and Ezemvelo, to enable them to treat the rhino that survive brutal attacks by poachers, as well as provide resources for the rescue, care, rehabilitation and release of the ever-increasing number of rhino orphans. This includes providing emergency response (helicopters/trucks/equipment), medical supplies and food. The latter has been especially challenging in the current drought, which has had a major impact on the cost of lucerne and milk. In addition, research into best practices for rhino orphan nurturing and rehabilitation is supported. At any given time, there are approximately 10-15 rhino orphans being cared for by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, and 20-30 rhino orphans in the care of Kruger National Park. Whereas at the start of the current rhino poaching crisis, rhino orphan care was regarded as only a small sub-section of rhino counter-poaching efforts, it has now become one of the primary focus areas of conservation agencies – recognised as a component that is vital to long-term rhino re-population efforts.
The resources provided by the Rhino Protection Programme also assist veterinary staff in processing crime scenes for the purposes of DNA processing, evidence collection, forensic analysis and veterinary research.
Rhino DNA database
The collection and management of rhino DNA samples – specifically for criminal tracing and prosecution purposes - is an essential service provided by the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the Department of Veterinary Sciences of the University of Pretoria, which maintains the national rhino DNA database (RhODIS). The Rhino Protection Programme has provided funding to support the development of the eRhODIS application, intended to simplify the collection of DNA data from the field for real-time input to RhODIS, as well as for the training of veterinarians, investigation officers and members of the South African Police Force in the use of the application and device. Thanks to Rhino Protection Programme's support, a backlog of 2 000 DNA samples has aready been cleared.

Judge Thomas Griesa : Socialist Workers Party v Attorney General
Retired federal Judge Thomas Griesa died two weeks ago in New York City at age 87. He presided over the historic case Socialist Workers party vs Attorney General. Leonard Boudin, the great leftist constitutional lawyer of his time, was chief counsel for the SWP in the 15 year litigation which ended in an historic victory in 1986 and which is extremely relevant for today.
Leonard wrote that This lawsuit represented the first wholesale attack upon the entire hierarchy of so-called intelligence agencies that had attempted to infiltrate and destroy a lawful political party. Further, for the first time, a court has thoroughly examined the FBIs intrusions into the political system of our nation and, in unmistakable language, has condemned the FBI activity as patently unconstitutional and without statutory or regulatory authority. The decision stands as a vindication of the first and fourth amendment rights that only of the Socialist Workers Party but of all political organizations in activists in this country to be free of government spying and and harassment.
The Nation magazine appreciated the significance of the litigation and wrote that for the first time the FBIs disruptions, surreptitious entries and use of informers have been found unconstitutional. All in all, it amounted to a domestic contra operation against a lawful and peaceful political organization, for no reason other than its ideological orientation.
Guest – Jeff Mackler, a longtime socialist activist in California and the West Coast head of The Committee to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal. Jeff Mackler was a plaintiff in the successful 15-year-old battle. Jeff is also the director of The Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal in Northern California and also the National Secretary of Socialist Action and its candidate for the U.S., presidency in 2016.
Awad, et al. v. Fordham University
Israels enablers in the United States ramped up their efforts to shut down the growing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement known as BDS. Many states including New York have passed laws against businesses who would boycott Israel as a way of protesting Israels colonization of the Palestinian people. An anti-boycott bill is currently before the United States Congress.
In New York City, Fordham University is attempting to prevent Students for Justice in Palestine, a group that supports the boycott, from forming a campus group. The students brought a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the university to enable them to establish a SJP chapter there. Keith Eldridge, the Dean at Fordham University took the position that a SJP group would create polarization on campus and run contrary to the mission and values embraced at the university located in the Bronx.
The students got help from the Center for Constitutional Rights and Palestine Legal. A suit was brought on their behalf in April of last year. Two weeks ago a hearing was held in Civil Court in New York where the students demanded an injunction against Fordham University to permit them to form a chapter.
Guest – Maria LaHood, one of the students attorneys andDeputy Legal Director at the Center for Constitutional Rights with expertise in constitutional rights and international human rights. She works to defend the constitutional rights of Palestinian human rights advocates in the United States in cases such as Davis v. Cox, defending Olympia Food Co-op board members for boycotting Israeli goods; Salaita v. Kennedy,representing Steven Salaita, who was terminated from a tenured position for tweets critical of Israel; and CCR v. DOD, seeking U.S. government records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding Israels 2010 attack on the flotilla to Gaza. She works closely with Palestine Legal to support students and others whose speech is being suppressed for their Palestine advocacy around the country. She also works on the Right to Heal initiative with Iraqi civil society and Iraq Veterans seeking accountability for the lasting health effects of the Iraq war.

A little narcissistic perhaps - but he IS the creative of the multi-million dollar Balenciaga. Alexander Wang besides having his name across the collection has signature motifs running throughout, themes like youth culture and just being bold about it.
These statement pieces work really well with leather and shiny material for a completely synthetic look. The youthful rebellion in these items really reflect the themes of his work. The pleated skirts were strong with the structured tops and it was provocative for the looks to show some skin and at the same time keeping it modest. The duality in the looks makes it far more interesting. I also really enjoyed the use of houndstooth, many designers are still using it and creating interesting new pieces with this classic print. Oh and also love the X accents on the pieces.

I heard a rumor that the faucets purchased at accouterments accumulation food are above to faucets purchased at big box home advance retailers, such as Home Depot. Just ask any plumber about this, and they'll apparently acquaint you it's true.

Here's how the adventure goes: a homeowner contacts a plumber to accept a new faucet installed, which they've already best out – a Delta Addison faucet they saw at Home Depot's web armpit for $349. The plumber will install the faucet, but won't accord any blazon of assurance on the faucet, because it's an inferior artefact compared to the faucet the plumber would get from their accouterments accumulation store. If the plumber provides the faucet, it will amount a lot added money – the account amount at Delta's web armpit for the Addison faucet is $514.45.
The plumber goes on to explain that the faucets provided by a accouterments accumulation abundance are superior; while they may attending identical, the 'guts' of the aforementioned faucet are of a college affection back they appear from the accouterments accumulation store, and beneath decumbent to failure. For this reason, the plumber will alone accreditation the faucet that comes from the accouterments accumulation store, for a abundant college price.
Reality Check
I've heard this again so abounding times, from so abounding sources, that I absitively to do a little calling around. I alleged and batten with reps from Kohler, Delta, Moen, American Standard, and Amount Pfister. They all collapsed out denied this claim. They say there is no aberration in faucets that go to altered retailers. They're all the same.
American Standard said that the cesspool assemblies they address with some of their lav faucets that go to accouterments accumulation food will be fabricated of metal, while the faucets that go to big box stores will be fabricated of plastic.
I accept it's accessible that all of the manufacturers were lying to me, or that the reps I batten with don't absolutely apperceive what their talking about… but how acceptable would that be?
In the plumber's defense
So why would a plumber affirmation that the faucets at accouterments accumulation food are above if the manufacturers don't agree? I'm not sure. Maybe it acclimated to be that way.
At any rate, I accept no botheration with a plumber giving a assurance on the faucet they get from a accumulation store, but not a big box retailer. If a faucet goes bad and it came from a accouterments accumulation store, the plumber can accompany the bad faucet in and bandy it out for another, or calmly access backup genitalia if article goes bad. If the faucet came from a big box retailer, not so. While abounding faucet manufacturers accept advanced lifetime warranties on their faucets, a aperture faucet can beggarly cat-and-mouse about for the architect to address a backup piece. If the kitchen faucet is leaking, who can delay about for backup genitalia to be shipped?
Also, back a faucet comes from a accouterments accumulation store, the plumber has apparently apparent up the amount of the faucet. This markup helps to awning the amount of a adjustment visit. It's about the amount the homeowner pays for a warranty.

At home, we keep some plastic bags we bring home, for use after our dog walks everyday. I think they should get them with some secret ingredient that increases the static attachment because we can never pick one out of the drawer. They remained united and ended up on a table or floor, usually when I was in a hurry because the dog was happy and barking to get out the door. However, there is a stainless steel bag organizer available on the market that keeps all the bags in one small space and crashing into the inside of the cabinet.
