Dear Friends and Students who are seeking
to live the life of an Entrepreneur.
Those who follow and practice the Christian tradition are most likely familiar with the big R word = Redemption. The word is rich in meaning, belief, and action. But for the Christian Entrepreneur there is a related R word that is our focus now for Principle Five in being a Christian Entrepreneur.
I have taught that in the Hebrew Scriptures where it says in Genesis 3:6 … "The woman looked at the tree: the fruit would be good to eat; it was pleasing to the eye and desirable for the knowledge that it would give. So she took some and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, and he ate it."
Right there, there should be a huge sound effect of crashing and breaking, destruction. You see, the Universe broke. From then on "Paradise" is gone and all things are now going to tend to the bad, the broken, the lost, and all will go wrong. That will be why we need the big "R word."
But now in these words, please see another related R word that may be part of your mandate and mission for life, career, and business.
God's message: Guard my common good: Do what's right and do it in the right way, For Salvation is around the corner, my settings-things-right is about to go into action (Isaiah 56:1-2)MSG
You're blessed when you get your inside world-your mind and heart – put right. Then you can see God in the outside world. (Matthew 5:8)MSG
God's business is putting things right; he loves getting the lines straight. Setting us straight. Once we're standing tall, we can look him straight in the eye. (Psalm 11:7)MSG
They don't seem to realize that this comprehensive setting-things-right that is salvation is God's business, and a most flourishing business it is. (Romans 10:2) MSG
… Now a profound note of gratitude and attribution. These wisdom words and the setting-it-right principle is based on the study and teaching of my friend and fellow teacher, Tim Hoerr, who has been asked to be one of the teaching contributors to The Christian Entrepreneur Project and radio program.
Now here is the deal. The world of innovation, creation, and entrepreneurialism is full of created stuff that does nothing to better the common good, and help people better their situation. Unfortunately the marketplace rewards people who put junk and even worse than that into the world, and does not necessarily reward virtue and setting-things-right for folks.
But do it anyway despite the accepted marketplace wisdom! Your job is not to just make money!
I am reminded of Peter Drucker when he was told that the now MBA programs were now teaching young business leaders that the purpose of a business was to increase shareholder value; responded dryly, "Well some of us think differently."
One of my proudest achievements is helping Luis start his own entrepreneurial business. He had lost his job in the copper mine that had closed and gotten work doing maintenance at a local community college. He was very "handy." He could do and fix lots of things.
Luis is proudly half Mexican and half Apache; he often says with a smile. I once told him that I believed that the translation that says Jesus was a carpenter probably had a different meaning than what we give it today as someone who builds homes and fine furniture (All great "creation" work"), but that it was more of a occupation of "fixing things, repairing things… taking something that is broken or not working, and getting it to work right."
Luis smiled and said "That is what I do…" "Just like Jesus, I fix things."
I helped Luis set up his own little business on the side and it grew fast and he had to quit his job to keep up with all the work he was getting. I saw Luis the other day and he introduced me to two men from his church "who are now working for him."
Again some random thoughts, a good story, and some words of wisdom that come from a source greater than anything I could say or do. But I hope they are enough to get you thinking and asking about Principle five of The Christian Entrepreneur.
Could it be that the work we do, the business we are in, and the things we create are to help in restoring and setting things right, and better, and good, and maybe, very good, not only in the marketplace, but in the world we live in and share with God and others?
Short version – Do what is right that sets things right!
Just let it sit on your head for awhile.
All the best and blessings,

can anyone tell me what the download speed of an htc one v should be. All the 3g speed test apps say something different. All way below the 1gbt that I thought it was suppose to be. Lately my speeds seem lower and slower than they use to be. I`m on Virgin Mobile. Thank`s
If by "gbt" you mean "gigabit" then you won't be getting that from a 3g connection.
If I'm not mistaken (and some google searches for "average 3g download rate" should yield you all the info you need) you can expect something in the area of 4 to maybe 5 mbps
Big difference between gbps and mbps
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
***William Henley***
Kurt r, thanks for the info. Now I know what to look for on a speed test app. Most of them screw with my phone, but some were in the range you said. feel better. thought the 3g on my phone was dying. Thanks again!

The WestinMaui Resort & Spa
Play it as it leis
The Hawaiian Islandsbeckon
per person*
Includes exclusive Costcomember savings and values ofmore than $400 per person!
HAWAII IS AN ALMOST flawless
destination. It's enchanting, multicultural and it is
nature at its most divine.
Given its reputation as such a popular
destination, the first time I went to Hawaii, I
was expecting to be lost in a crush of tourists.
But despite the fact that more than 7 million
visit the islands every year, I discovered on
that first and ensuing visits it's not only easy
to find lots to keep you entertained, it's also
really pretty easy to find peace and quiet—
your own private corner of Hawaii. And of
the main islands to choose from (Hawaii,
Kauai, Maui or Oahu) you can tailor your
vacation to fit whatever mood you're in.
Maui consistently ranks as one of the
world's best, most romantic islands and it's
easy to understand why. The island brings
together miles of glorious beaches, fantastic
cuisine, world-class resorts and some of the
world's best windsurfing, whale watching,
snorkeling and diving. Hiking is unsurpassed,
with Haleakala National Park offering the
unique experience of taking in the dramatic
views from the rim of its massive 7½-mile-
long, 2½-mile-wide and ½-mile deep surface.
• Six-day Alamo intermediate rental car
(one additional driver included)
• Six nights in a Partial-Ocean-View Room
(double upgrade from Garden-View re ected in price)
• $150 resort credit (per room, per stay)

Valid for travel 8/16/09 – 12/15 /09. Blackout dates apply.
Additional $50 resort credit

It's not called the Big Island for nothing.
Bigger than all the other islands combined,
with two of the earth's largest volcanoes, Hawaii
contains nearly every one of earth's ecological
zones, offering white-sand beaches, coral reefs
for snorkel and scuba, rangelands, rain forests
and mountains. There are well-preserved cultural sites, and a wide variety of cities and
towns, big and small, in which to hang out and
savor some of the flavor of the real Hawaii.
Peaceful, quiet, lush and rural Kauai, the
first Hawaiian island I ever visited, is nature at
its best, with dense rain forests on the north
side and the Grand Canyon–esque Waimea
Canyon on its southern face. Combine that
with the west side's Na Pali Coast trail and
beautiful scalloped bays (including Hanalei
Bay, which was just selected No. 1 on "Dr.
Beach" Stephen P. Leatherman's 2009 list of
top 10 beaches) and you'll understand why
this island is a mecca for hikers and kayakers,
snorkelers and surfers—and outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes.
As the state's center of government and
culture, Oahu is a happy combination of
urban living, natural beauty and rural community. The south shore is home to the urban
activity of Honolulu, the legendary beaches of
Waikiki and the dramatic views from Diamond
Head Crater. The north shore is a step back to
a slower pace, where smaller towns and venues
offer the chance to watch the wave riders at
Sunset Beach, swim with sea turtles at Kailua
Beach Park and experience a sense of an older,
more laid-back Hawaii.
Whichever island calls to you (and they
will call to you), you can expect a unique experience, jaw-dropping landscapes and vistas,
outstanding dining, world-class golfing and a
wide variety of accommodations, all in the
warm embrace of the Polynesian experience.

A Guide to Lead Generation through Automated E-Mail Marketing
No matter what the nature of your business, or how long you have been in operation, lead generation is one of the most sophisticated challenges you face. Even if you are successful, with a range of happy and satisfied clients, your future growth depends on your ability to generate new leads and gain new customers along the way. It does not matter if your company is a new start-up or a seasoned Fortune 500 company; without leads, your business will be unable to grow and compete in the modern world.
Lead generation has always been a tricky process, regardless of the methods used to generate those leads. As a business owner, you want to get as many leads as you can and pass them on to your sales team in a timely manner. At the same time, simply flooding your sales staff with hundreds of unqualified leads will only create dissension in the ranks and reduce the efficiency of your operation.
Simply put, all leads are not the same, and not all leads are equally valuable. If you want to succeed and make the most of your limited time and staffing resources, you need to find a way to qualify leads first.
The first step is to make sure your current email list is actually still valid. You can use an email verification service to check the quality of your list, and ensure that all of your current leads on your email list are still valid and ready to be placed onto your automated email marketing plan.
There's also lots of email marketing software available to help you make the most of your campaign, but these can be costly, and not all businesses will have the budget to make use of these services.
This is where email automation comes into play. Email automation allows the owners of all kinds of businesses to generate a steady stream of valuable leads – leads they can pass on to their sales team or run down on their own.
Building Trust
No matter how long your business has been in operation, customers will not want to do business with you if they do not trust you or believe you can deliver on the promises you make. Building trust is an essential part of the modern business world, vital for everything from gaining new customers to building your brand identity.
Developing trust among your base of potential customers is also essential as you create and fine tune your email list. The more your potential and existing customers trust you, the more likely they will be to buy the products and services you have to offer. Building trust is not always an easy thing to do, and there are no shortcuts to success.
One of the best ways to begin developing trust among your base of website visitors, email recipients, and advertising targets is through premium giveaways. Everyone loves to get something for free, and offering a premium item of real value serves a number of important purposes.
For one thing, offering a free whitepaper for download allows you to gather contact information and start building your email list. Placing the premium offer on your company website, linking to it in your blog posts, and featuring it prominently in your print advertising is a great way to gather leads while building trust among your customer base. Offering to give away such a valuable item is a sign of trust on your part, and over time that trust will be returned.
Offering a free downloadable whitepaper is also an effective way to build your brand identity. Creating a compelling brand narrative has never been more important than it is today, given the fact that so many consumers now speed through commercials and have learned to tune out marketing messages. A well-written whitepapers gets your company and your brand in front of readers and helps them develop a level of trust going forward.
Offering a downloadable whitepaper also allows you to demonstrate your expertise. Modern consumers are looking for real expertise in the companies they do business with, and a quality whitepaper is one of the best representations of your expertise and experience. Once you have gained the trust of your target audience, you can add other offers and make your future lead-generation efforts even more successful.
To learn more about what's working best in reference to building trust and creating a mailing list that people actually want to open, be sure to check out this guide to email marketing from AppInstitute.
Additional Offers
That downloadable whitepaper is an excellent place to start, but it is just the beginning of the trust-building and lead-generation process. Once you have the attention of your readers and customers, you can slowly start to offer other items they will find valuable. This strategy will serve to further build trust and cement your reputation as an expert in your chosen industry.
The additional items can be anything your customer base or prospect list is likely to find valuable. If your product or service is visual in nature, a short video clip is a good way to demonstrate its benefits and encourage casual shoppers to become loyal customers. Whether you are selling a garden implement, a piece of cookware, or sports equipment, a real-world video demonstration is a useful sales tool.
Case studies can be just as valuable in terms of lead generation. Modern consumers are more savvy than ever before, and they rely on much more than the claims of manufacturers and resellers to make their purchase decisions. Giving your prospects real-world case studies and offering reviews by real customers is a vital part of the trust-building process. The more case studies you can provide, the better; embedding one in each email you send is a smart strategy for success.
If you maintain a blog, be sure to update the site regularly and use it to build brand loyalty and engender trust among your list of prospects. Blogging is a great way to convey information, but it is also a valuable sales tool for all kinds of businesses.
The Importance of Follow-Up
No matter how compelling your message or how valuable your premium items, you cannot expect to get a huge response rate with a single message. That is why having a follow-up strategy is so important.
There are lots of different email marketing software that can help you to measure your open/read rate, this information will be crucial in helping you to understand what works and what doesn't.
If your prospects do not respond to your first message, always be ready with a follow-up email. With email automation you can set up the schedule and forget about it, making the follow-up process that much easier and improving your long-term results.
Offering additional resource in your follow-up communications is important. Those additional resources should be similar, but not identical, to the ones that were offered before. If your previous email message contained a link to an online video, your follow-up message might include a case study or an online review. It is all designed to work together, even though each new message is its own unique entity.
Bringing It All Together – The All-Important Call to Action
Now that you have demonstrated your expertise, provided real value to your prospects and delivered information to your readers, it is time to bring it all together. No matter how great your previous messages may have been, without a solid call to action (CTA), you may never be able to close the sale.
The CTA is a vital part of every lead-generation strategy, whether the communication takes place online or off. If you are prospecting for new leads through email, every previous step o the process has been leading to this moment, the moment when you reach out to each prospect personally in an attempt to close the sale and convert interested readers into eager customers.
The format of the CTA email you send will be critical, and you need to give it the attention it deserves. While you should tailor your call to action to the needs of your specific business, you can use this handy email template to get you started.
Dear [First Name],
I hope you have found the resources I sent you interesting and useful. I would like to learn more about what you are up to and if there is any way I can support you. Why don't we schedule a call for next Tuesday at 2pm, or Thursday at 4pm?
Alternatively, your CTA email could suggest a product demonstration, or a face-to-face meeting instead of a call. It is all up to you, but the goal of your email should be to get your lead to take some sort of positive action. Even if it is nothing more than registering on your website or signing up for your newsletter, your goal is a positive response.
The Final Step
In a perfect world, every call to action would result in a new lead your sales staff can follow up on, but we do not live in a perfect world. In the real world, even the most finely tuned CTA will probably not generate a 100% response rate.
That is why you need to incorporate a final step into your email automation and lead-generation process. This final step will follow up on the call to action and give you one last chance to close the deal.
Not everyone who receives your CTA will be comfortable reaching out to you directly or having a face-to-face meeting. That is why you need to provide additional alternatives that will generate new leads and drive new customers through your virtual doors.
Your email automation process will have already sorted out which list members responded positively to your CTA and which ones did not. Once you have segmented your list and identified your target, you will craft a final email that provides that alternative response method.
You, for instance, invite those prospects to sign up for a group you are part of. If you have a LinkedIn profile or a Facebook page, you can simply invite your email recipients to connect with you on LinkedIn or interact with you on Facebook. Interacting with clients and customers is what social media is all about, at least for businesses. Using it to your advantage is a key part of the lead generation process.
If you do not have a ready-made group set up, you can always encourage your prospects to sign up for a free newsletter. Creating a monthly newsletter filled with helpful tips and inside industry information is a great way to generate new leads and encourage prospects to become customers. At the minimum, this strategy will keep your company and your brand at the top of the customer's mind.
At first glance, the email automation process may seem like an arcane and confusing one, but the reality is much simpler. You can think of the email automation lead-generation process as a kind of funnel. You start by organically building a list of email addresses, using sign-up forms on your website or blog, business cards collected from customers, and so on. All of those email addresses go into the top of the funnel, starting with the first email you send.
That first email will generate a number of positive responses, leads that can be passed on to your sales team for further action. The remaining email addresses drop down through the funnel, and after a period of time, the recipients receive a follow-up offer for a free video presentation, blog post, or tip-filled newsletter.
Again, that second email will generate a number of new leads, which will in turn be fed to your sales team. The remaining email prospects will receive additional offers, and finally a strong call to action. At the end of each step, you will new leads to work with, and that is good news for your sales team – and for you.

How to Start Building Your New Site Authority Using High-Traffic and Niche Web Directories
Web directories are definitely not what they once were, however, we have witnessed the evolution of directories and websites that play that role in a modern setting – with significant success.
Think Yelp or TripAdvisor. These websites are directories of sorts, and they've grown enormously from their ability to provide intelligent, useful information (or value) to the user. On the other hand, there have been instances where we've seen Google pull down or demote dozens (if not hundreds) of directories that have no real value, while others are left to function freely.
Yet, there are not many things a new blogger can do (on a small budget) to gain that required initial visibility to go from there.
Can web directories still be an option for a new site?
When the internet started to expand in the late 1990s, a lot of users found it difficult to locate information about specific subjects. Search functions were a lot less developed then and it was a challenge to obtain results for specific keywords (even Google didn't have a streamlined system for displaying relevant results back in 2000). So in order to give users broad access to information on a variety of subjects, web directories were set up.
Initially, there wasn't much competition and the first directories received high rankings and lots of visibility. At the same time advertisers started appreciating the potential of directories for setting up a business model for their operators that financed itself. In addition, web directories offered new opportunities for SEOs who posted their articles with strong backlinks.
Getting a website listed in a directory used to be a sure path to web traffic and success. However, all this changed as search engines developed, and since 2012 when Google released Penguin, the value of article directories dropped significantly – particularly in relation to link building.
How to still get value from directories?
Think traffic and reputation management, not link juice, DA, and all sorts of terms I cannot stand. Check those directories on social media (are they active? Are they up-to-date? Are there other people talking about them?) and get an idea of their web traffic through tools like Alexa, SimilarWeb or a more web analyzers
Any web directory that is created for the sole purpose of helping you boost your ranking should be avoided. If they have a list that is genuinely designed to help people, then search engines will treat them well as well.
Here are trusted directories with solid traffic that are able to direct leads to your blog:
- BOTW – They offer the same service but for a fee. Once a link is submitted and payment is made, they manually review it and only include it in their directory when they're satisfied it meets their level of quality.
- Curlie (former DMOZ) – is an open-content free directory that is managed by editors in a community called Open Directory Project. These volunteers are impartial and take time to review each submitted link before they only put it in their directory if it meets or exceeds their criteria.
- DirJournal – A web directory that has been in the industry for years featuring business listings as well as several topic based blogs. Several payment plans are available. Bear in mind that payment is not a guarantee of acceptance.
- Jasmine Directory – Another great web directory with great metrics. You won"t find as many listings as in other directories but linking to NYTimes or various universities it"s a clear sign that they add resources manually as well, as they state they do.
- Alive Directory – one of the oldest web directories out there, it has a rigid editorial discretion and an intuitive layout. As a webmaster or business owner, you can submit your website to general or topic based industry categories.
- Aviva Directory – most webmasters must of heard about this directory. A few years ago, in the "Alive and Aviva" era, the blogosphere featured these two directories heavily. Many webmasters reported positive SERP signals by having their websites included in Aviva Directory.
Find niche directories
In general, the more specific a directory is, the more valuable it is. This isn't always the case, however you're more likely to find what you're looking for if you go through a niche directory. For instance, if you search through a directory dedicated to chemical engineering, or other specific field, any listings you find will most likely be of high value.
Niche directories can be huge, especially there's some non-profit organization or an active community behind one. A few great examples of niche directories which are worth every effort include:
- Biolinks: All about biology, this is a great directory founded by BIOZONE, an international publishing house based in New Zealand, with offices in the US, United Kingdom and Australia.
- Startup Inspire: a great directory offering exposure to new businesses and websites
- Game Top Sites: a solid directory listing lots of gaming blogs and apps. If you are launching soon, here is a solid list of directories to get listed.
- Alternative To: This one specializes in technology, SaaS and apps. Get your site listed if you want to be found when someone is searching for your competitor
You need to start somewhere and getting listed in solid directories is your first step to leaving footprint on the web and start building visibility.
When you think about it, the criteria we've used to determine whether a directory is effort-worthy is basically the same criteria that makes any website valuable to the user (and this value easily translates into high rankings). Even if you don't see the immediate value of directories, there's no harm in using them as one more tool in your campaign to gain exposure.
Spend enough time crafting each submission. Take time on your website description, title, and any other information that you think may be of value or that your link requires.

How to Promote a Courier Business Online with Blogging
It is said that if your marketing tool is effective, it can help your business to a great extent. In fact, the tools that you use for promoting your brand or products and services determine how your business will take shape in the future and a couple of years down the line.
In this article, let us find out how you can make your courier business a flourishing one with the help of the most prominent of all virtual marketing tools, blogging, which is one of the most crucial ones. So, read on for better insight.
The online shopping window
The fact that the several online vendors are all striving hard to draw your attention and offer the best products and services in the industry, make it even more difficult for you to prosper unless you know the tricks of the trade.
Since you are not being able to interact with your clients and prospective leads in person, it becomes even more challenging to encourage them to take the appropriate action. As such, the online marketing tool should be such that it conveys all that you want your clients to know even if it is in a restricted way.
Blogging to promote your courier business
According to reports, it has been found that the businesses that promote their services through blogging get 126% more growth in leads. Not only that businesses earned maximum number of customers through blogging, and 81% of the prospective leads and customers depend on blogs for reviews and recommendations.
As such, it can be safely said that blogging is perhaps one of the most powerful online marketing tools available virtually. But how will you go about it? Let us find out.
Working out a marketing strategy for your courier business blog
Prior to taking the plunge, there are few aspects that you must take into account. These are as follows-
- Courier business is a responsible business/service where you have to deliver consignments within the stipulated time period.
- First of all, decide the vastness of the area that you will address, the various zip codes and so on
- Decide upon the type of consignments you would like to take on, for instance, whether or not you would like to take on responsibility only for corporate and business organizations (commercial) or all (individual and commercial).
- Work out a plan to decide upon aspects like timely delivery, quality of service, and customer value, data bank of existing clients and the ones that you have just acquired.
- Identify the competitors in the market and find out the services, plans and packages that they offer and how you can compete with them.
Once you have done the due diligence, you can set up a blog using the most sought after Content Management System, WordPress and get started.
You can start off your first blog write up with the history of courier, how it originated, where did the concept come from, how the industry has evolved over the years, names of few well known courier service providers like shiply, and so on.
Blogs must be fresh and regular
An important thing that you must remember is that the content that you put up in your blog must be updated on a regular basis. Make sure you keep your target audience in mind.
Another way you can make your blog attractive is by offering a FAQ or Frequently Asked Section, where you can write about the terms and conditions, privacy policy, terms and conditions of the courier consignment, and everything you want your clients to know about shipping and its charges. Make your blog meaningful and one that should add value to the knowledge of your prospective leads, clients, and visitors.

Writing Email Subject Lines That Get Opened And Increase Open Rate
Email marketing is one of the most important components of any online business or brand today. Millions of people will visit your site, but they will also come and go. With email, you can keep the conversation going and continually grow your customer base and audience in the process.
While many people talk about the power and effectiveness of email marketing, only a select few implement the most effective actionable tips and lead generation methods on their site. With this common goal in mind, today we are going to look at some of the best ways to not only grow your mailing list but also focus on improving email open rates in the process.
The Shorter the Email Title… Often then Better
When you have a subject line, which is too long, it will get caught off when delivered to the recipient inbox. For this reason, you should make your lines no longer than 50 characters. The shorter the lines, the quicker the person viewing it will be able to understand what the message is all about. This will increase how fast they will open the message especially when it's catchy. Remember, when people receive an email message, they'll scan through their inbox looking to see what catches their eye right away. Here are a few useful tips to create great looking emails and newsletters.
Grab Interest by Including the User's Name in the Email
Depending on the type of email marketing service your using, you'll be able to add custom fields to the message. One of them will allow you to add a field which will generate the first name of the recipient. When you send the message, it will arrive with the sender name first then the subject line after. The reason these messages have a higher open rate is that they have a personal touch to them. When people see their first name in the subject line, it will make them feel special and that you've created a custom message for them.
Remember to Use the Keyword in Your Email Title
Some of the best email subject lines include the main keyword associated with your niche. Keep in mind that these people are on your list because they resonate with your brand and the awesome content you provide them. To keep these people opening your messages, it's important to include a keyword that represents your brand so they'll be enticed to open and click through to whatever offer you have available.
The Title of Your Email is the Ultimate Call to Action
Remember the last time you wrote a title for a blog post? You probably spent more time on the title than anything else. This is just how email marketing needs to be looked at as well. The title of your email is going to be much more important than what you say inside of it.
Since your email marketing will be closely associated with your blog, it's a great idea to skim through looking over what content has the highest engagement. Look at the title and what keywords you included to increase engagement because the same strategy can be applied to your next email send. If you are just starting out, here's a great resource on writing great blog titles so you can apply the same strategies your email marketing.

FAYETTEVILLE - University of Arkansas tight end D.J. Williams was named the 2010 Mackey Award winner Thursday night during the Home Depot College Football Awards Red Carpet Show on ESPNU.
"It is a tremendous honor to win the Mackey Award," Williams said. "This is really a team award, and I accept it on behalf of every person in the Razorback program. I'd like to thank my coaches and teammates. This is a recognition of the work they do every day."
Williams is the first Mackey Award winner in Arkansas history. He is the NCAA's active career leader in receptions and receiving yards by a tight end. His 147 career catches also place him in a tie for second on Arkansas' all-time list and are the most by a non-wide receiver in school history, and his 1,789 receiving yards place him 10th on the program's all-time list.
This season, the senior from Little Rock, Ark., leads the team with 49 receptions, which have netted 589 yards, the fifth-highest total on the team, and a single-season career-high four touchdowns. His 4.1 receptions-per-game average is sixth in the SEC this season.
Williams was the first Razorback to be named a semifinalist for the Mackey Award in 2008 and also was on the award's watch list last season before being named one of three finalists this season.
The John Mackey Award, established in 2001, is awarded annually to the most outstanding tight end in FBS college football. In addition to demonstrating outstanding athletic prowess on the field, the award also stands for positive sportsmanship-like behavior, good academic standing & exceptional leadership abilities.
Williams also was presented with the Disney Spirit Award, given to college football's most inspirational figure, later in the evening during The Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN.

This is just the best piece of writing I have seen for some time.
Following the Gunns writs and the compliant political situation in Tasmania this writing again gives me heart that the true integrity of the island is in tact.
Thanks Richard. The rest of the year will be a bonus.Posted by peter willans on 26/01/05 at 02:11 AM
That is sad to hear about the Tasmanian Devil. I have been hearing there is a large population of koalas that is probably going to starve to death from the lack of food.
Those are the main animals I think of when I think of Australia.Posted by Flag Gal on 28/10/05 at 03:22 PM
Re #2
Don't worry about it, Flag Gal.
We've got 1080 poison (banned just about everywhere else in the world) for the rest of them pesky thieving unique to Tasmania and Australia native animals…you know…kangaroos, wallabies, bettongs, quolls and eagles here in Tasmania plus eagles, harriers, skuas, jaegers, ducks and gulls and whatever else takes the Brodifacoum yummy looking chook-pellet type baits arielly dropped on Macquarie Island (290 tonnes of it, also banned in many other countries).
Soon, you'll only have to worry about cats and dogs when you think of Australia.Posted by Russell on 25/10/09 at 05:28 PM
I'm not sure why this thread popped up again after a five-year absence, but I'm glad it did.
I've never met you Richard, but I admire you.
I've seen more of Tasmania than most. Even so, even in my more eloquent moments I could never even hint at the magnificence of this place in the way you can in a few lines.
Flanagan may be a Tasmanian, indeed national treasure, but there are many others like him.
People passionate about the place. Concerned enough to step forward, despite the inevitable negative consequences from those with a vested interested in preserving our current, disfunctional culture.
All we need is for them to stand up and be counted.

Dragon Mania Legends characters are the various inhabitants of Dragolandia.
Led by Dunkelviking, a team of Vikings has taken over the land. His Viking Dragon teams must be defeated in order to reclaim the land. Professor Hogwin and his team work to defeat the evil Vikings.
The first character to be met in Dragolandia, Arya is the apprentice of Professor Hogwin. Being very knowledgeable in the raising and care of Dragons she gives instruction in her areas of expertise before rushing into battle to save the land and Dragons that she loves so dearly.
Ned is the son of Professor Hogwin. Following the instructions of his father, Ned takes the Codex to protect it and flees to the Mystic Cave to hide. Once the Mystic Cave entrance is cleared and Ned is found, he helps battle against the Vikings to save his father and reclaim the land.
Dr. Hogwin Hogvanhog, better known as Professor Hogwin, is a world-famous dragonologist and the creator of the Dragon Codex, a book containing information found in his research detailing information about all Dragons. Shortly after its creation, Dunkelviking and his followers attacked the Archipelago and kidnapped him in hopes of obtaining the Codex.

The Rev. Dr. Linda E. Thomas, professor of theology and anthropology at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC) was inducted into the Martin Luther King Jr. Collegium of Scholars at Morehouse College on March 30.
The theme of the induction service, "Learning to Live the Moral Cosmopolitan Way," was particularly meaningful to Dr. Thomas in light of LSTC's Public Church curriculum.
She said, "Our curriculum is decidedly contextual because our students are called to witness to the good news of Jesus Christ in a pluralistic world. LSTC graduates are called to serve in rural Nebraska as well as the suburbs of Lake Geneva, Wis., or cities like Philadelphia and Chicago. Wherever our students are called, they must be prepared to speak at a time when telling the truth is a rebellious act. As a member of the Martin Luther King Jr. Collegium of Scholars, I am called to prepare them for a broad base of ministerial settings for such a time as this."
Esther Menn, dean of academic affairs, said, "Dr. Thomas is celebrated on the LSTC campus for her courage to address some of the most urgent issues of our times. She does this through her courses on the theology of Martin Luther King Jr. and Black Lives Matter, as well as through the popular blog she edits, 'We Talk. We Listen. Conversations about Diversity.' It is splendid that she is receiving national recognition through her induction into this distinguished Collegium of Scholars."
The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, president of the North Carolina NAACP and organizer of the Moral Monday movement, was the Crown Forum Speaker for the 32nd Annual Collegium of Scholars induction. The Rev. Dr. Marvin A. McMickle, activist, pastor, scholar, and president of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, gave a keynote at the celebratory luncheon. Inductees were "charged" by both speakers to be ministerial leaders who break the silence about the political violence occurring in our country and to offer deep moral language that represents the ethical principles given to us in "the law and the gospel."
Thomas is one of the architects of LSTC's innovative Public Church curriculum. Her research, writing and teaching focus on the intersection and mutual influence of culture and religion. Her work is rooted intransitively in a Womanist perspective. In August 2015, Thomas started the blog "We Talk. We Listen. Conversations about Diversity," which continues to have a wide reach. She has published numerous journal articles and book chapters. Thomas is the co-editor with Dwight Hopkins of Walk Together Children: Black and Womanist Theologies, Church and Theological Education (Wipf & Stock), the editor of Living Stones in the Household of Faith: The Future of Black Theology (Augsburg Fortress Press) and Under that Canopy: Ritual Process and Spiritual Resilience in South Africa (University of South Carolina Press). She earned her doctorate from The American University, the master of divinity from Union Theological Seminary, and a bachelor's degree from Western Maryland College.

One of my favorite porn stars has a book. Asa Akira, net worth $1.5 million, paid $2000 a scene. You or your significant other have probably seen her videos online, don't lie. She came out with Insatiable: Porn – A Love Story earlier this year, and it's taken me this long to learn about it. I read it in less than 24 hours, and I must say, it contains a buttload of hilarious and sexually-insightful anecdotes that made me laugh out loud and nod in agreement; for example:
Nothing is more of a turnoff than when someone you're not into texts you.
How much I love a guy is in direct correlation with how often I unsolicitedly blow him to completion.
Before I dive into this review, let me just say that it's not the most well-written book. It could probably do a tumble with an editor for a bit. The first chapter literally starts with a graphic threesome. It was interesting, until I ran across this passage:
Bobby's cock is great for porn. Big, straight, all one color. It was shiny from the juice coming out of Monica's pussy, making it look as if Monica was giving birth to it.
Nonetheless, Insatiable was a fun read, despite its lack of an actual culminating message. There was no takeaway or lesson learned from this book. There wasn't as much scandal or juicy inside-looks into the porn industry like you'd expect. ("What the baby wipe industry doesn't know (or do they?) is that mothers of newborns are not the ones keeping them in business. It's sluts. It's whores. It's pornstars. In porn, we use baby wipes for everything…. If a girl has baby wipes in her house, but no baby—I'd say she will most likely be down to let you put it in her ass.")
What this book does offer are detailed descriptions of sex and the seemingly-normal day-to-day events of one Asa Akira, Fleshlight Girl with an award-winning asshole. This is a book about Asa Akira's love story with porn.
Through this book, I learned that there are two different productions of porn. Asa explained this in a letter to her Mom:
See Mom, in porn, there are two kinds of productions: Gonzo porn, and Feature porn. In Gonzo, the movies are just straight-up sex—no dialogue, no setup, no scenario. The cameraman uses the camera to maneuver around the people having sex, getting really tight shots of the penetration and stuff.
Feature porn is totally different. It's considered "classier"—they are like real movies, but with sex scenes integrated into them. There are additional days of shooting only dialogue, and it's a really long and tedious process. The sex is usually way softer, too—and the camera generally stays on either a tripod or a jib, a safe distance away from the actual sex. It's marketed more toward couples and women.
Asa also recounts a number of strange encounters during her stint as a dominatrix, a hooker, and a stripper. During her time at the Nutcracker Suite, she recalls sticking a metal rod up her her manager's dick hole and electrocuting him upon his request. She also shares her brief fling with hooking, taking on only two customers before deciding that it wasn't for her. And she relives the friendship she fostered with Maury, a kind and rich Jewish man who frequented the Hustler Club's Champagne Room where she worked as a stripper.
Like I said, this book is rife with thoughts I could relate, too, even if Asa and I don't share the same lifestyle. There was a humbling feeling I got as I read, as this book humanized not only Asa but people in the porn industry as well. The simple passage below showed that she is more than just a porn star–she is also like any other woman who has the displeasure of cleaning off tacky jizz post-coitus:
I turned on the sink and watched the cum on my hand turn into rubber when it hit the water. Something about cum, once it's cooled off, is just nauseating. Like my orange juice, it was something I only enjoyed freshly squeezed.
Of course, what if a memoir without dirty details from pre-famous days? Asa grew up in a normal household with parents who are still together. She went to the United Nations International School in New York with a scholarship, and was surrounded by the rich and affluent. She also shares her addiction to Special K (ketamine) ("While all my friends wisely switched nostrils every other line, I insisted it's better to fuck up one side of my nose completely, than to fuck up both sides mildly.") when she was younger. She dabbled with all sorts of drugs (although avoiding crack and heroin, which she and her friends deemed drugs for losers) before sobering up by the time she was twenty-two.
Asa also shares my same distaste for the entire state of Florida:
Without question, Florida is the trashiest state in North America. You hear a scandalous story about a woman and her daughter getting into porn together, and you just know it's happening in Florida. A man with a mullet shoots an innocent bystander because he can't take a doggy bag home at an all-you-can-eat buffet—you don't even have to ask! It's bound to be a story from Florida.
Let's be real, after the Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman brouhaha, you can't deny that Florida is a cesspool of crazies.
Half the book is like a dedication to her Spanish husband, fellow porn actor Toni Ribas.
One chapter reads like a diary, and it documents the first time she and Toni meet, their first film together (DP, of all things, and her first anal), the development of their relationship, leading into their brief engagement and Vegas wedding over the holidays. The way Asa writes about Toni is quite endearing. I can almost picture Miley Cyrus circa 2012 when she was with Liam Hemsworth, her eyes looking up adoringly at him during red carpet events.
Sometimes, when he's sleeping, I'll quietly go under the covers and just smell his dick.
There's nothing I love more than when we have a day off together, and he doesn't wear any deodorant. I just bury myself in his armpit and breathe.
Tell me how that's not true love. 😛
If you're not a fan of erotic novels, I doubt you will enjoy this book. Asa does kiss-and-tell past the point of TMI. If you are into that and Asa Akira, however, then you'll like this book. It's not a huge tell-all (or should I say bare-all?), but it does give you a sneak peek into the life of an award-winning porn star.

Article first published as Blu-ray Review: 'Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season' on Blogcritics.
The Game of Thrones HBO series doesn't exactly follow the George R.R. Martin series of books in lock step. It's actually the most recent season where timelines start to get a little murky. So, with a new trailer released for the upcoming fourth season, there are plenty of questions to ask. Fans of the series can study up a bit better though, with the release of The Complete Third Season on blu-ray. The third season, as with the third book contains the infamous "Red Wedding" scene in the season's ninth and penultimate "Rains of Castamere" episode.
There are of course plenty of other interesting story arcs in the Game of Thrones' third season. The Stark family is nearly scattered to the wind at this point. As a matter of fact there is no point in the whole season when there are more than two of them in the same place. Jon Snow spends almost the entire ten episodes on the far side of the wall. Among all of Ned's children, it is really his story that holds the most promise for the coming winter. Of course the "Mother of Dragons" continues to prepare for her return to the Iron Throne, becoming more wise and formidable each day.
As with nearly all of HBO's blu-ray offerings, the level of presentation in Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season Blu-Ray with HBO Select is impeccable. From the well-executed menus to the high quality transfer, there is little to complain about. There are also plenty of extras for the more serious fan to dig into, which share the same high production values. Besides picking at the directorial choices and the choice of extra content, it's hard not to enjoy the entire blu-ray, DVD and digitally downloadable package.
While a large number of extras are spread across the five blu-ray discs, the final disc holds the more substantial features. This is actually a minor complaint I personally had with the set. While it certainly makes analyzing the extended and deleted scenes easier, by having them all on the final disc. It would have been nice to have the option of being able to watch the episodes they came from, in full, as a director's cut. It's really kind of small issue, and that is really the only thing I would change if I were able. Each episode does include the In-Episode Guide to provides background information about on-screen characters, locations, and relevant histories.
Also on the final disc of The Complete Third Season's blu-ray set is "Inside the Wildlings." While plenty of goings on south of the wall are explored pretty thoroughly in the series, the people and history of those to the north are largely a mystery. The White Walkers and even the Wildlings themselves are more often used as a device in the adaptation. With "Inside the Wildings," Martin along with the cast and crew help shed a bit of light on the savage people the Night's Watch is protecting the rest of Westeros from. "The Rains of Castamere Unveiled" offers a behind the scenes look at how the series finally portrayed "The Red Wedding."
HBO has really gotten their in-house releases down to a science. The video in Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season Blu-Ray with HBO Select is offered in a crisp 1080p resolution and 1.78:1 aspect ratio on the blu-ray discs and include DVD and downloadable options along with the package. Despite the content often consisting of darkly lit scenes, the contrast levels hold up very well. The primary audio on blu-ray is English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, with DTS options for French, Spanish and Polish. The DVDs are also a high quality, but lower resolution format and the digital option can be redeemed on Amazon, UltraViolet, iTunes, or other instant streaming options through HBO Select.

Our next achiever would call himself a lifelong educator who believes in always learning. Hank Chapin was an English professor for several decades and now he lends a helping hand volunteering at his neighborhood theater, a place he's grown very fond of over the years.
But acting did not always come easy for Uncle Hank -- and that's why he encourages everyone to step out of their comfort level. Once he did, to his surprise, it lead him to a new passion.
He has also helped many students conquer some of their own fears - on or off of the stage.

I can smell gas what do I do?
Find out what to do, and how to contact us in a gas emergency.
How to keep you and your home safe
Unless gas appliances are serviced regularly they can become dangerous and can kill. If your gas appliance has not been checked for 12 months it may be unsafe and you may also be in breach of your lease.
- Make sure you have an annual gas safety check.
- Check for warning signs your appliances aren't working correctly eg lazy yellow or orange flames instead of crisp blue ones, black marks on or around the appliance and too much condensation in the room.
- Know the six signs of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, collapse and loss of consciousness.
- Have an audible carbon monoxide alarm. This will alert you if there is carbon monoxide in your home. Our gas engineers are able to supply these when they arrive to complete your gas safety check.
- Never carry out any gas works yourself. Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer.
For more gas safety advice, visit the GCS website or the Gas Safe Register website. Alternatively, you can call the free helpline on 0800 408 5500.

Okay, I really didn't think I'd be using this again so soon.
I've had little chance to talk to Troy this week due to increasing amount of work, this seemed like a good open forum. Not that I'm expecting solutions to be forthcoming. That's unfortunate, but I'm getting ahead of myself. This has to do with someone else's life, not my own. However, in a way it does an effect in Troy's life and mine. Let me explain…
There is a show out at Scarborough Faire called Cast in Bronze. I'm sure that you may have heard of it from Troy by now, but just in case you haven't, this is a performer in a mask playing an instrument called a carillon. This is a very precise, and huge instrument. Several bronze bells are painstakingly hung on a huge framework. There are 3 in the United States and they all travel the country putting on shows.
That is until this news dropped.
You see, 2 of the 3 are used by Cast in Bronze. The two go to different faires and such, wearing their masks, and making people love an artform that was lost to people for many, many years. That's a great way live, I imagine. The problem is that our favorite harpist's husband is not the originator of the show, and the carillon he uses is on loan from a man in Pennsylvania. Someone who has had it out on loan for the past 20 years. The guy who started the show, finally built his own set, which allowed the original loaner to travel other places. You can see where this is going, right?
The man who loaned it out is independently wealthy, and has decided to open up a museum of rare musical instruments, and guess what rare piece he wants in that museum? You guessed it! So at the end of Scarborough Faire this year, if somehow they haven't convinced this guy to build another in his new museum, the loaner goes back to its owner and Cast in Bronze will be a solo player. This effectively puts our Scarborough playing family down to one working member. He's going to have to find work in the real world, ending a dream for him. That just sucks.
Some people have already asked him about making another one. Which sounds like a great plan, except for the cost and time it would take. It will run $250-$300K and will take up to one year to make. That means having to get the capital to pull that off, and unless you're rich, you all know how hard it is to get any amount of money. That amount is harder than hell to even fathom. Then you have to factor in how long it will take to get it, because they need to get it done in Europe and get it shipped over here (as was put, it's actually cheaper than getting it done here in the States). And then you have to also consider, they don't ship the whole thing to you assembled. No… This this sits on a permanent trailer, so a lot of assembly required. I feel like I want to make magic happen, and give these people the break they need right now. I'm not rich, and Go Fund Me accounts only go up to so much. There's also the problem that unless you're into the Ren Faire scene, or into the exotic, why would you ever put money down on it. Cast in Bronze has been the best way to actually get to learn what the instrument is and to learn a full appreciation of it. I hate to think of this sitting in a museum, collecting dust, and not being played. So far, they've not made any offer to get someone out there to play it for the people who come to see it.
Anyway, sorry if it's a buzzkill, but I needed to share it. Somehow, I feel like I need to put it out there so someone finds that one magical answer.

How come the thread was deleted? Hrmm
How come the thread was deleted? Hrmm
I was wondering the same thing
I think you only posted the definition of theft without making a reference to any specific point. Mods probably thought it was "pointless".
Try posting again and state why you are doing so, .... maybe it will stay.
It had a huge point. Signal Theft. Just thought it'd be a fitting topic for the TV section.
I remember someone said it was a victimless crime. It showed some stats of Sat company down 200,000+ subscribers, and how may jobs were lost because of it. So I was wondering how it was a victimless crime. Perhaps shrouded by ignorance?
It is one of those crimes that courts and governments aren't willing to prosecute because it ties up the courts with valuable time they need for other more "hurtful" offences.
I don't think there is any crime that is victimless.
what about the retarded amount of commercials you get bombarded each hour on TV. 20 - 25 min an hour of commercials is also a crime in my opinion, im not paying to have advertisments blasted at me. Personally I think im a complete sucker for paying for television.

Those commericals are what keep networks going. If not commercials, then there is a higher cost to carry the channel. (CTV, GLOBAL, etc..)
How many people think it'd be wrong if the clients of ESSAR bought steel elsewhere, that sells it cheaper? Isn't that called dumping, and frowned apon?
I think it's a victimless crime, but hundreds of people will lose their jobs? Yes, no?
You are not really stealing the signal, you are just decrypting a data stream. It's the decrypting part you are not supposed to do. However, I am not sure if decrypting a data stream is against the law or not.

You can try to fool yourself that you are not a thief but in the end you know that you are the same as the ones who break into cars or steal bikes; a thief is a thief.

Life change happens better in circles than rows
Since the first disciples of Jesus, Christians have found it helpful and often essential to regularly meet together with other followers of Jesus in a small group to study God's Word, pray, and speak words of challenge and encouragement into each other's lives. Indeed, some of the most profound spiritual growth often occurs in such a context. Additionally, there is great joy in regularly experiencing a reminder that no matter what is going on in your life and faith, you are not alone. God is a being of internal community (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), and we are made in His likeness, in His "image" - we are therefore designed for community - with Him and with each other.
linkHOPE groups are small groups of about 6-12 people who gather regularly for the purposes mentioned above. Many of these groups meet in homes, and others meet in restaurants or the Hope campus. The purpose of each is the same: to bring great Hope, strength, and growth in your faith as you LINK with other followers of Jesus in community. Currently active groups can be identified below. If you would like to start a new group, click here to contact Patra Mueller and she will discuss next steps with you and direct you to some simple but effective training. Life is too short and too tough to go through it alone; God wants to give you a great gift through linking with others in community - sign up today!
Open Groups are, well, OPEN! Anyone can come at anytime and they don't have an ending date. They are a good introductory step into linkHOPE/groups at Hope.
Short Term Groups have a specific topical focus and run for a set number of weeks. These groups include: Hope 101, ReFrame, and Financial Peace University.
Life Groups are a safe and predictable environment where you can experience authentic community and spiritual growth. They are a longer term group of people committed to doing life together.

I feel like cheating on my man
Dear Pastor,
I am 26 years old and I am really confused. I have a man and he has been going out every night and comes home in the morning. I am well in need of love at nights, but he is never there to give me what I want. I am thinking of cheating on him because I am in need of
affection a lot.
What should I do?
Dear Lonely,
It is time for you to have a long talk with your man. You should try to find out why he goes out every night and where does he go. If this man fails to give you a satisfactory answer, you should tell him how you feel about the relationship. If he is not prepared to stay with you at nights, you should end the relationship with him and move on.
I cannot encourage you to cheat, but I do understand why you are tempted to do so. Tell him if he is not happy with you and there are issues in the relationship, then both of you should go and see a family counsellor. If he agrees to go, then make an appointment to see a family counsellor.

Charles Murray (poet)
|Charles Murray
Murray in the 1880s
|27 September 1864
|12 April 1941
|Known for
|Hamewith (1900)
Charles Murray (27 September 1864 – 12 April 1941) was a poet who wrote in the Doric dialect of Scots. He was one of three rural poets from the north-east of Scotland, the others being Flora Garry and John C. Milne, who did much to validate the literary use of Scots.[1]
Charles Murray was born and raised in Alford in north-east Scotland. However he wrote much of his poetry while living in South Africa where he spent most of his working life as a successful civil engineer. His first volume, A Handful of Heather (1893), was privately printed and he withdrew it shortly after publication to rework many of the poems within it. His second volume, Hamewith (1900), was much more successful. It was republished five times before he died and it is this volume for which he is best known. The title of the volume, which means Homewards in English, reflects his expatriate situation.
He served in the Armed Forces during the Second Boer War and the First World War and in 1917 produced the volume, The Sough o' War. He published his last volume, In the Country Places, in 1920. After his death a final volume of poetry, Last Poems was published by the Charles Murray Memorial Trust in 1969.
He returned to Scotland when he retired in 1924 and settled in Banchory, not far from where he was brought up. There he died in 1941.
