The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) offers a variety of workshops and presentations that can help you and/or your organization have more positive and impactful experiences with civic engagement, as well as a brief introduction to the CCE. See below for descriptions of all of our workshops. The times listed with the workshops reflect an approximate time frame for each session. However, we are able to tailor the timeframe as needed. While these workshops are primarily intended for OSU student organizations, courses, and departments, we are open to adapting them to your needs. You may also request a custom workshop that cover selected topics from different workshops or potentially topics outside of our premade workshops, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. For preparation and planning purposes, please make your request at least two weeks in advance.
Student Leadership & Involvement also offers leadership and organizational development workshops. See the full list of offerings and request form.
An Introduction to the CCE (15 minutes)
You probably know who we are and what we do, but you want your organization to know as well, right? This short presentation will outline the CCE's mission and vision, as well as events, programming, and resources.
So What is Civic Engagement Anyway?: How to Enhance Yourself & Your Organization Through Service to Community (30-45 minutes)
This workshop is our basic overview presentation for those looking to know more what civic engagement is and how it applies to them. We cover topics like defining civic engagement and service, why is it is important to be engaged, the benefits being engaged provides to you, your organization, and the community, and an overview of the CCE and how you can partner with us. We can also recommend specific suggestions and partnership ideas for your club or organization based upon its mission and needs.
Defining Service/Civic Engagement (45-60 minutes)
People define service and civic engagement in many ways. This interactive activity is designed for participants to explore their personal philosophy of service and civic engagement as well as the wide variety of activities that fit within the broad category of civic engagement. Participants will engage in dialog with each other to understand different perspectives on civic engagement and also begin to develop their own short and long term civic engagement goals.
Social Change Tree (60 minutes)
Social issues are complex and interconnected. This interactive activity is designed for small groups to examine a social issue that is of importance to them. The activity uses a tree as a metaphor for a social issue in order for participants to analyze the symptoms and root causes of a social issue. The activity also utilizes principles of the social change model of leadership development for participants to explore what individuals and groups can do to address the social issue. Finally, the activity includes imagining a better future in which there are social improvements resulting from the ideas the group generates.
Becoming An Effective Site Leader (60 minutes)
Now that your organization has decided to participate in a community service project and you are responsible for leading it, there can be a lot to consider to make it an effective learning experience, maintaining good communication and relationships with your community partner, and ensuring everyone is engaged and having fun. Let us share our expertise and get you up to speed on best practices for becoming an effective site leader. We cover a step-by-step guide on how to site lead before, during, and after the project, including vital considerations like community entry, reflection practices, and framing the experience for your participants. After completing this workshop, you will also be authorized to be a site leader for the CCE during our Days of Service.
Relational, Not Transactional: How to Build Partnerships with Community-Based Organizations (60 minutes)
There is often an unequal power dynamic between volunteers and the communities they work with. To create positive social change, we must address this and seek to "do with" rather than "do for" or "do to" our community. When you work towards a positive relationship with your community partners, it creates an impactful experience for everyone involved. This workshop will provide the framework for mindful community entry and partnership development based on requests that our community partners have made over the years.
From A to Z: Planning a Service Project with Meaningful Reflection (60 minutes)
There are lots of logistical bases to cover when it comes to planning a service project. This session will cover everything including how to respectfully reach out to a community partner, how to organize volunteers, and to how to facilitate reflection that connects your service to a bigger picture of social change.
Charity vs. Change: Revitalizing Philanthropy (60 minutes)
As well-intentioned as our philanthropy efforts are, they need to incorporate elements of social change to upset systems that create the problems we seek to address. Participants in this workshop will critically analyze the impacts of their philanthropy program, learn the difference between charity and change, and brainstorm ways to incorporate social change into their program in meaningful and impactful ways.
Tabling Request

Gold can add an elegant pop of color to any décor. This gold polka-dotted mason jar is an easy craft, yet it looks store-bought. Add some flowers for more color and elegance, and everyone will be asking where you bought your decoration!
You will need:
- A mason jar
- Circle sponge brushes of different sizes
- Gold craft paint
- Fake flowers of your choice
- A clear varnish (or any clear substance to paint over the finished jar)
Helpful tip:
Sponge or dotting the paint on works better than using strokes. The texture may seem spongy when you apply it, but it will become smooth as it dries.
The jar:
- Take the lid off the jar.
- Starting at the bottom of the jar, take the largest sponge and start painting. Paint the bottom solid gold. Starting with the largest circle sponge, start creating dots coming out of the solid bottom.
- With a medium circled sponge brush, begin adding more dots coming out of the large dots.
- Continue with the small circle sponge brush.
- As the dots get smaller, start placing them farther and farther apart.
- Also, try to space them randomly rather than an equal distance apart. This will make the look flow better.
- Wait to dry.
- Add another two or three coats over your design until it has the desired look.
- Take the center out so you only have the rim.
- Paint the rim the same gold color you are using the jar.
- Wait to dry.
- Once dry, add another layer. Repeat three to four times, or until you are happy with the result.
To finish:
- Add a coat of varnish over both the lid and jar. This will keep the paint from chipping and adds a shine.
- Once completely dry, screw the painted rim of the lid on the jar. Arrange your choice of fake (or real) flowers in the jar!

We were under the law until Christ came, as the heir is under the guardian until he is of age, 1-4. But Christ freed us from the law, 5, 6; therefore we are servants no longer to it, 7-13. Paul remembers their good will to him and his to them, 14-21; and shows that we are the sons of Abraham by the free-woman, 22-31.
1 Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he is lord of all, 2 But is under guardians and governors until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 To redeem those who were under the law so that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father." 7 Therefore, you are no longer a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 However then, when you did not know God, you did service to them which by nature are no gods. 9 But now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how do you turn back to the weak and beggarly elements to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days, months, times, and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
12 Brothers, I implore you, be as I am, for I am as you are. You have not injured me at all. 13 You know that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first. 14 And that which was a trial to you in my flesh you did not despise, nor reject, but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 What then was the blessedness you spoke of? For I bear you testimony, that if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? 17 They zealously affect you, but not in a good way, but they wish to exclude you so that you may be zealous for them. 18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ is formed in you, 20 I desire to be present with you now and to change my voice, for I stand in doubt of you.
21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: one by a bond-maid, the other by a free-woman. 23 But he who was of the bond-woman was born according to the flesh, but he of the free-woman was by promise. 24 These things are an allegory, for these are the two covenants. One is from the mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Agar. 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, and she is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break forth and cry, you who do not travail. For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband."
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29 But as then he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless, what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bond-woman and her son. For the son of the bond-woman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman."
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free.

Nobbut laiking: Ross Brewster
IT'S a statistic that should shock and enrage. Over a year after Storm Desmond, more than 1,240 families living in an area stretching from Greater Manchester to Aberdeenshire are yet to return to their flood-damaged homes.
Around 16,000 properties were flooded in England in the wettest December in a century. The 1,246 households are spread across 27 council areas and include 760 homes in Cumbria. The real situation could be even worse because this figure was obtained under freedom of information laws and councils in some areas insist they do not have the statistics.
Just imagine if this was Japan, the United States or Germany. Indeed in dozens of other countries. It would be unacceptable. Totally unacceptable.
Charities report that many families remained in their houses after the floods, living upstairs while their home became building sites. They say the figures are just "the tip of an iceberg", blaming a shortage of tradesmen, delays with insurance claims and a need for more support from national and local government for families left living in "Third World" conditions.
As a nation we are just so bad at getting things moving. The politicians turn up for photo opportunities, but you rarely see them again while flood victims are left to flounder on their own and the perception of the authorities is one of treacle-paced slowness with a notable lack of energy and leadership from government.
Tim Farron, MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, has accused the Government of overlooking the north of England after reports that claim some other areas of the country benefitted from more flood spending per head of population. "Many places in Cumbria were among the worst hit by the floods last winter, but the Government was more interested in offering warm words than cash," he said.
There is a general feeling amongst flood victims in this part of the world that, once the emergency is over and the TV film crews have gone off to the next disaster, local problems are almost forgotten and, should we get another flood of Storm Desmond ferocity, there are simply no new major flood prevention measures to prevent another story of chaos and suffering.
For so many people to still be out of house and home is a disgrace. Perhaps governments think we northerners are a stoic, phlegmatic race that doesn't kick up a fuss and just gets on with it. However, there is a hidden health element to all this. In the Carlisle area alone, two-thirds of victims have sought help from their GP for flood-related stress.
Council leaders, insurers and the Government all say they are on the case and it takes time to dry out properties and sort out the costs of damage. They may have a point, but to the ordinary observer, the pace of recovery appears to be painfullycomplacent and without clear direction or real, genuine concern from the Government.
THERE … you see, it is possible. Regular readers of this column may just have gleaned that, as we approached the festive season, I studiously managed to avoid use of the "C" word.
Whoever gave us Winterval deserved a good thrashing, but when I discovered that BT, on its website, was encouraging us to enjoy a "Merry Giftmas" I knew that the end of civilisation was nigh. A shame they did away with the stocks and hanging, drawing and quartering.
Having got through one avoidance crisis, I promise that there will be none of those irritating reviews of the past year which come to the rescue as space fillers in newspapers and on TV at this time, when everyone is far too occupied eating, drinking and ordering sofas to actually provide us with much genuine news.
All I will say on that subject is that 2016 was the year we discovered that pollsters are more often wrong than right. In fact they had virtually a 100 per cent. record of getting it wrong when prognosticating on major events.
So I won't even descend to one of those articles forecasting dire happenings in the next 12 months. It's notoriously tricky and your idiotic assertions generally come back to bite you on the nether regions later.
So there it is. Time for me to stop basking in my rather negative seasonal triumph. Can we just get on now? Choccy eggs are in the shops. Buy early for Easter!
FOR many years the Herald published a page listing all those locals who had passed away over the preceding 12 months. "Long-lived Penrithians" was its customary heading.
It was always something of a ceremony in the office, waiting for the undertaker's representative to come calling just before the year end, bearing the gloomy list.
I don't suppose young readers gave it a second glance, but no doubt it was of importance to friends and relatives of those who had died, and it provided a talking point for older folk who doubtless knew personally, or if only by casual acquaintance, many of those listed.
Much has been made about the number of celebrities who have bitten the dust during 2016. There has been a great deal of weeping and wailing over the deaths of people who, let's face it, we didn't know much about, other than what was in the more salacious gossip columns.
Bowie, Cohen, Parfitt, Victoria Wood and now George Michael, dead at just 53. Anyone reading fans' tributes on Facebook pages will have encountered almost uncontrollable emotional breakdown.
Come on people, get a grip. Are you really that upset over the death of a pop singer or comedian? Or is it what the psychologists term "transference" of emotions, when people who find it difficult coping with real life issues switch their attention obsessively to someone they've only seen on TV or maybe from 50 rows back at a concert.
Is this distress more about ourselves? Our memories and lost innocence? After all, we haven't a clue about what really goes on behind the closed doors of our idols and what lies behind the image they and their publicists want us to believe in. So how can our tears be for them? Celebrities in all probability we have never even met.
It's been claimed that, in terms of high profile deaths, 2016 was something out of the ordinary. I'm not so sure. It just seems like that. Many of the celebrities had lived long lives and nobody can go on forever. Others, bearing in mind their lifestyles of drugs, booze and birds, probably did well to reach the age they did get to. By the end of 2017 we'll most likely be saying similar things after another batch of well-known faces have shuffled off this mortal coil.
It's easy to become a celebrity these days. There are a lot more of them about. More of them to kick the proverbial bucket. And for those of us who are getting into our dotage, we've lived long enough to remember people who were stars in the 1950s and 60s and who are now popping off simply due to old age.
The real sadness is not about celebrities. It's about those who have suffered genuine personal loss, especially when it involves a family member or close friend who has died far too soon.
The sobering reminder for me is counting up the cards at this time of year. Always one or two fewer than last time. A card arrived in mid-December. An old fell running pal — I used to spend hours at their house sharing meals after a day on the hills, discussing our next race plans — writes to tell me his beloved wife has died. He's not yet "come up for air". The sadness permeates his words. They were married for more than 40 years and did so much together.
That's one of the first tasks of 2017. To write a letter sympathising with my friend. Perhaps reliving some happier times. As you get older you do this more often. It's a reality. Death is a natural thing. If we have any tears, let them for be for real people, not cardboard celebrities whose work may have given us pleasure, but whom we were never close to other than in our imagination.
WE will remember the year 2016 as the one where nothing was destined to be quite the same again.
Donald Trump heading for the White House, Britain heading out of Europe. Forget those minor irritations. No, it was the year when chocolate manufacturers decided, unforgivably, to tamper with tradition.
They took the toffees out of Quality Street and changed the wrappers on Roses so that you now have to tear the sweets open rather than twist the paper.
As if all this was not an outrage, Toblerone decided to redesign its triangular-shaped bars. Putting more space in and taking more chocolate out.
They destroyed our hopes and our dreams, and our simple pleasures. The world will never be quite the same again.

When working with field leaders, I'm often asked how to sponsor "good" people – ones who aspire to become leaders. And on occasion, a leader tells me she only talks to people who "prequalify" as a solid prospective consultant. Ouch! I believe, without hesitation, that we can't tell if someone will be wildly successful. We can have a hunch, for sure. But too many times I've worked with new consultants who just needed encouragement and someone who believed in them. What a rush to see them succeed! I would hate to eliminate them from the start. So I always respond by saying, "Sponsor everyone because you never know – you just never know."
Recently I learned about an informal field test from Shelley Whitmarsh, VP of Sales for SimplyFun. When Shelley was in the field, she and a fellow team leader noticed that Shelley's team grew proportionately faster so they set out to determine why. Was it personal sponsoring? No – they sponsored about the same number each year. Was it the amount of time they dedicated to building their business? No – that was also roughly the same. Yet when Shelley's team tripled in size, her friends team doubled.
Here's what they came up with. When Shelley presented the business opportunity – to everyone – she presented it as just that – a business opportunity. Her friend had a different approach. When she presented the business opportunity – to everyone – she positioned it as a part-time job. That "full-time vs. part-time" mentality worked it's way through their organization. In Shelley's team, more aspired to become team leaders, which led to overall team growth. Now, when asked if there is a secret ingredient to sponsoring future leaders, I'll say, "Sponsor everyone and tell them about the advantages of building a substantial business from the start –because you never know – you just never know."

Hmmm, I never thought this would be a high priority topic – or even a blog topic at all. But a recent incident made it come front and center. I was working on a training project out of town, and realized that I needed a car. Since I was already at the office, the company arranged for a car to be picked up at a nearby hotel. How convenient. My colleague and I headed over and found a very small rental counter tucked in a corner of the lobby. The representative looked over the paperwork and said she just happened to have a 2-seat convertible sports car for only $19.00 a day more. We didn't mean to offend, but we chuckled at the thought of pulling up to the office in a bright red corvette, hair flying in the wind. "No thanks," we said. "The car that was ordered would be just fine."
The representative asked how much luggage we had because our car would only accommodate a few pieces. A larger one would only be $14.00 a day more. "No thanks", we said. "The car our company ordered would be just fine." "GPS?" she asked. "Only 13.00 a day more." We declined and asked if she would kindly give us car that was ordered. "Sure thing", she said. And I would imagine you want insurance, right"? Only $6.00 a day more." We held firm and said we were a bit behind schedule. "Let's just finish up then, she said. But I highly recommend prepaying for gas."
At this point, I was finding it hard not to laugh, so I started writing a talk in my head about the danger of excessive upselling. In the background, I heard that something would only cost $2.00 a day more. Then I found out just how far my friend could be pushed when she screamed "NO. JUST GIVE ME THE CAR!" The representative said she had the perfect one for us, but I think I detected a smirk.
Did you know that a top rental car agency still has at least one car with hand crank windows and manual door locks? I sent a picture to my kids so they could see what it was like in the good old days. "Yes, she got her laugh, but I was ahead of the game because I walked away with the framework for a talk, inspiration for this blog and some wonderful nostalgic memories. Yes, we do want our sales force to upsell. But let's make sure they don't go overboard!

Do I have your attention? Sure hope so. Because whether you are a sales representative in the field, a corporate sales leader or simply checking out the industry, this tip will serve you well.
While exciting new products, elaborate trip promotions and "raise the roof" conventions can increase performance; the best overall strategy to build sales and recruiting is to focus on finding and nurturing Prospective Team Leaders.
A Prospective Team Leader is one who is working to reach the first level of leadership as outlined in the company's compensation plan. This typically involves a personal sales, sponsoring and team sales requirement. When these performance minimums are met, the Prospective receives a new title and substantial bonus increase.
Why are Prospective Leaders so important? Because they need to sell more and recruit more in order to reach their goal. And when they succeed, their increased activity will be reflected in your company's overall performance. It's a simple concept but one that can easily get by us.
Now, how do we find those prospective leaders? Stay tuned…

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a lovely sales consultant: "Do you know what my biggest problem is? I have terrible party attendance." And before I had a chance to respond, she said, "I just have to get better at host coaching." And I agreed. Host coaching is a very important skill to learn and master. But it was too much of a pat answer. There had to be more. Let's think about it.
What is the point of host coaching? What are we trying to accomplish? The goal is to:
Oh, and you also talk about outside orders – how to take them, how to calculate the totals, what the current promotions are, when to close her party and more. And when you do it well, your host will have a fun, well-attended party. The sales will be high, her rewards, plentiful.
But that seems to be a very large answer to a very specific problem. How do you get people to the party? I posed this question to several colleagues and here's what we have come up with so far.
And then there are the oldies but goodies:
I love the idea of looking at, "How to Build Party Attendance", as a topic unto itself. And wouldn't it be great if we all put our heads together and came up with a hefty list of suggestions? So do you want to play? If so, leave a comment so we can all learn more!

Last week I wrote about the 3 little words—"Did you know"– that can help improve your customer service. I'd like to conclude this series by sharing the one word that can make just as big, if not a bigger difference.
Drum roll please! And that one word is… LISTEN!
As customers, we want to know someone is listening. The easiest way a Customer Service Rep can do that is by summarizing the customer's inquiry, something like this:
CUSTOMER SERVICE REP: "Let me make sure I have this right. You say your order, number _____, was short one item, item number _____. Is that right?"
This lets the customer know they're really being heard and the Customer Service Rep understands the situation correctly. Once that is established, the exchange should be successfully resolved with something like:
CUSTOMER SERVICE REP: "I see that item was shipped separately on November 1 and is scheduled for delivery today, so that should solve our problem. Does it?"
This approach is especially effective If the customer inquiry is made on a phone call rather than email. Summarizing the customer's inquiry allows the Customer Service Rep to take control of the call and get the information needed to resolve the situation in an efficient manner.
The use of questions (even if the answer is apparent) and repetition is key. The Customer Service Rep should say things like:
But what if the inquiry does come via email? In that case, include a summary in the first line of the email response. This confirms to the customer the Customer Service Rep understands the inquiry. It also eliminates the customers' frustration when they don't think their inquiries were understood.
We all want to know we've been heard – customers and Customer Service Reps. Listening… and letting your customers know they're being listened to… is the way to do it!
Chris Clark is the real deal. Whether you're a veteran or a rookie in direct-selling, she can help you take customer service to the next level. And she's one of those rare consultants who won't try to shoe-horn your contact center into some cookie-cutter that garners more applause on the lecture circuit than "on the floor". You can count on Chris to listen and ask lots of questions before she offers any advice. And when she does offer advice, it's based on an appreciation for what you have that's a competitive advantage-and how you can kick it up to notches unknown! – John Cronce, Director Jockey Person to Person
When you're in this business long enough, you'll begin to hear the same training over and over again. And you can never be quite sure who said it first. But I do know who taught this to me first. Thanks, Francine.
I'll tell you up front. I can in no way do this justice in a few short paragraphs, so I'll probably revisit this one. But here it is – the best training tip I ever heard. Whenever you hear an objection – whether it's for booking a party or learning about your business opportunity – someone saying, "No, I just can't because…." Don't try to overcome that objection, simply solve the problem.
This mindset made all the difference when I was in the field and has helped many others since. See, no matter what company, no matter what product, one of the things direct salespeople have in common is that we don't want to be _________. Yes, you got it – we don't want to be pushy.
And another thing we have in common, no matter what company, no matter what product, is that we like to help people. And both come into play when we look at an objection as a problem to solve – we're not being pushy and we're helping someone. And that's why, for me, it's the best training tip I ever heard.

So far we've covered four basic steps to improve customer service. This week I'd like to share another tip–one of the most effective, and easiest, ways to reinforce what's cool, controversial or just plain current.
It's simply this: create a section of the newsletter or weekly/monthly communication entitled "Did You Know." The title itself arouses the curiosity of the reader. They'll read to find out what they do or don't (or should) know.
This section can be as simple as:
It's important to keep the section short and simple. Make it quick to read, simple to understand and easy to retain.
Where does the content come from for this "Did You Know" section? Your Customer Service Reps! They're the best source because they have to answer the questions. So ask your Customer Service Reps :
Then be sure to keep the responses to these questions. They may be useful to include in other communications.
This simple inclusion will provide immediate results with the Salesforce and the Customer Service Reps. Who knew!?
Chris Clark worked her magic with our warehouse as well as our Consultant Care team. Chris had a hands-on approach and used her extensive experience to guide us towards what worked best for our particular business. Chris had great follow up, always checking back to be sure we were comfortable with any changes and to answer questions. I felt I had a true partner in the changes we made and that Chris was as excited about our success as we were. I would recommend her to anyone in the Direct Selling field! – Pat Difani, Private Quarters, Director of Sales Operations
A couple weeks ago, I had my regular dental checkup. The news was pretty good. My dentist told me that I had a small cavity and that at my next appointment, it would only take an hour of my time. Something about that seemed strange. I knew I needed to have the work done, no matter how long it took. And I hadn't said anything about being busy.
After I scheduled the appointment, my dentist walked by and said, "I'll see you next Monday – it will only take an hour of your time." Again, kind of strange, but oh well…
On Monday, my schedule was more hectic than I expected, so I looked at my calendar to see what I could dump or postpone. Well, it would have been that dentist appointment had it not been made very clear that it would only take an hour of my time.
The number one reason a host decides to postpone her party is because she feels overwhelmed or too busy to do it justice. It's our job to help her understand that hosting a party doesn't have to be a big deal or require a big time commitment.
Hats off to my dentist for anticipating that problem and taking care of it in advance.

It's basic party plan knowledge – when booking a party, try to schedule it within the next two weeks. Otherwise, it's more likely your host will lose her enthusiasm and postpone or cancel her party altogether. But during the holiday season, booking a party two weeks out is still too far. Schedule a couple parties from that one – book them two weeks out and that's it – holiday delivery cut-off – time's up.
Years ago, I heard something that really stuck. Most people don't know what they're doing 2 weeks from now, but they do know what they're doing the next day or the day after.
I remember when that really hit home. I had scheduled a party –a couple weeks out – with a lady named Jeannie. And during those two weeks, I have to say, I did some mighty fine host coaching – textbook host coaching. And it showed, because 18 people came to that party.
Afterwards, I asked Jeannie how she did it. Actually, I wanted to know what in particular, I did or said to make it happen. OK, I was looking for a pat of the back. Jeannie said, "Now, don't get angry, but I didn't do anything you said. I didn't even remember I was having this party until yesterday, so I just called everyone last night and this morning and told them to come over."
From then on, whenever someone said she was too busy to host a party, I suggested that we just throw something together in a couple days. All she would have to do is call some friends and ask them to come over. It would be informal and easy. Then, I would tell her the story. And it worked – time and time again.
Now, more than ever, it pays for your salespeople to compress their business. My advice? Think easy, think informal, and book them in very, very close.

It's an unassuming little shop—just a bunch of racks in a small room, hooded by a plain green awning out front. But the framed platinum and gold CDs that line every bit of available wall space hint at this little store's clout. Opened in 1989, The Music Experience was a key retailer for many of the classic nineties rap and R&B labels. Its charming and friendly owner, Dedry Jones, routinely draws the likes of John Legend and Patti LaBelle for live shows on the South Side he simply calls "The Experience." Plus, the racks still have a lot to offer: besides all the latest releases, there's an extensive back catalogue of R&B, gospel and rap, mostly on CD. The vinyl collection is nothing to write home about; although the store was once a hot spot for local DJs, the digitization of DJing has meant a sharp drop-off in vinyl traffic. But for anyone looking for some hits and dusties in a laid-back atmosphere—and an opportunity to chat with Jones and the musicians that sometimes make an appearance here—The Music Experience is a good bet.

Wow, things on the weblogging scene just seem to grow. Every other day I find an interesting weblog and take a peak into someones life, but now I have discovered an even more interesting side to weblogging; podcasting. For those who are uninitiated a podcast is almost like an online radio show, where rather than reading to a weblog you listen (generally on an iPod, obviously) to it. There are new news aggregators for it such as iPodder (Windows/Mac), iPodderx (Mac) and Doppler (Windows) which will automatically download the mp3 files to your computer. It's not essential to have an mp3 player because you can simply listen on iTunes or Winamp, but it's a definite advantage to be able to listen on the run.
In my research I downloaded a few different aggregators, but finally settled on iPodder to download my feeds. At present I have trialed a few different podcasts and even enjoyed the odd one, but I am becoming a bit of an Adam Curry fan. After listening to his show for the last week or so, I have become convinced that I will give it a bit of a go and make my own Podcast. This will not begin until bananas on toast is relaunched, but I am definitely thinking of doing a tech talk show where I will discuss technology, software, give advice and answer questions.
"What is the point of this shit?" I hear you ask. Simple: I need you to give me ideas for the show. I am a pretty easy speaker and I can generally keep interest, but the hardest part of any radio-style show is finding something to talk about all the time. Send your ideas, questions, thoughts, any advice, tell me that I should shut up or anything else to firstname.lastname@example.com and help me get something interesting out of this. If it sucks, I'll delete the subpage and we'll all just pretend it never happened. Agreed? Agreed!


text: Images (moving or otherwise) are made of pixels, and images look best at their original size. If you resize them to even multiples (like 150%, 200%, etc.) or shrink them in size (to 30% or 50%), they still look pretty crisp and smooth. However, if you resize them to odd sizes (like 67.7%, 82%, or 129%), these images tend to a look a little jaggy (you Photoshop users know what I mean). Well, in QuickTime 7 you can just grab the corner of the QuickTime Player window and drag it to any size you'd like. So, is there a trick to making the window "snap" to sizes that make your movies look their best when resized (like 50%, 25%, or 200%)? Yup. Just hold the Option key, click on a corner, and start dragging, and as you drag it will snap to those ideal sizes.

Thane: NCP leader Jitendra Awhad on Thursday
said social activist Anna Hazare should desist from attacking
party President and Union Minister Sharad Pawar.
Addressing a press conference here, he accused Hazare
of repeatedly "defaming" Pawar, and asked the anti-corruption
crusader to stop doing so.
Awhad, who is an MLA, said Hazare should stop making
any more statements regarding the slapping incident involving
the Maratha strongman in Delhi last month.
Pawar is not a media creation but he has earned his
political standing due to support from the citizens of this
country, the NCP`s Thane district chief said.
Awhad`s warning to Hazare came days after the social
activist virtually justified the attack on Pawar and accused
him of shielding the corrupt.

DAVID BECKHAM has admitted he will experience "goosebumps" when he makes an emotional return to Old Trafford with England for tonight's Euro 2004 qualifier with Liechtenstein.
The England skipper will be in action at the stadium where he was regarded as a hero for the best part of a decade for the first time since his summer transfer to Real Madrid.
Beckham's relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson may have soured during the latter part of his Manchester United career, but his return during the current trip with England has stirred many memories.
He said, "We've been training with England at the old United training ground at The Cliff and I've a lot of great memories from there. That's where I started my career at United as a young lad.
"But it will be really nice to play at Old Trafford again. I expected to go back at some point with Real Madrid in the future, which I was really looking forward to, but this fixture gives me another chance.
"The atmosphere has always been great there with 67,000 fans and the passion of the people from Manchester has always been special.
"I never get nervous playing football and I am just looking forward to playing in the game but I am sure I will also have goosebumps.
"I am sure it will be quite emotional and it will be nice if I can mark my return by helping England take the three points which will set us up for the match with Turkey next month."
Sven-Goran Eriksson is set to protect Sol Campbell from further disciplinary trouble by resting him. Eriksson will still pick Beckham and Steven Gerrard, even though they, like Campbell, are just one booking away from being suspended for the final group game in Turkey.
However, while Matthew Upson is set to partner John Terry in central defence, left-back Ashley Cole is expected to be dropped to make way for Wayne Bridge. The England coach is also poised to select James Beattie up front with Wayne Rooney in the hole and Emile Heskey omitted from the starting XI.
Barring any overnight U-turns, it all adds up to four potential changes from the line-up which beat Macedonia last weekend, with Nicky Butt injured and Owen Hargreaves missing out.

Ever since the fad for white shoes started, I always wanted to have an all white-classic converse because I know this will make my looks cooler and somewhat white shoes can be easily partnered with any clothes.
Finally after a long-wait i was ale to save up enough and been able to purchase one for myself! And since then it has become my favorite and my somewhat overused sneakers haha

"The Old School was built in 1866 and remained a school until 1963. It has now been converted into guest accommodation with three ensuite rooms, 1 Single, 1 Queen Double and 1 Super-King Double/Twin". We are situated in the unspoilt tranquil village of Newbiggin just 4 miles from Penrith, 3/4 of a mile off the A66 trans-pennine route and 2 ¾ miles from junction 40 on the M6, useful for a stopover to and from Scotland.

About Me
I am a descendant of Lena Mae Gertrude Lovett of Defuniak Springs, Florida. (last known living area)
My father was her only(?) son (illegitimate) and we believe he was illegally adopted. His name is Bruce Edward Dean and was adopted by Walter Thomas Dean and Vera Mae Crawford-Dean under very mysterious circumstances of which I was never able to get any of them to speak about!
. It has always been rumored that we had American Indian blood but I have been unable to document it. Both my Father and his Mother have passed to the other side and all her known relatives so no maternal DNA to represent the suspected line of Indian blood. (?) I am looking for clues to my heritage. The paternal line is through Troy Barnes ...He was listed on the birth certificate of my Father but I have heard the cert being altered and "unknown" is in the blank. Supposedly, my youngest sister has copies of both representations. We believe it was altered to prevent us from claiming linkage to the Barnes estate (Barnes Supermarkets)We are in the beginning of establishing our ancestral heritage. Supposedly, we have Creek on my Father's maternal line but my Mother's lines are rumored to have Cherokee and Choctaw as well.
