Work is excellent. Steve is knowledgeable. I needed someone to advise me on the problems I had and Steve did that. I felt his fee was very reasonable.
Vincent completed numerous tasks for my swimming pool: pool drain, acid wash, pool light replacement, replaced main drain covers, pool fill. He did a great job in a timely manner and my pool looks great.
Steve Smith has been doing several different remodel jobs plus a new project as of now for about 3 years and has never missed a time he said he would be here to do his job. In regards to what he can do...that is anything and everything that we have come up with and for example creating a beautiful italian style bathroom in a log home. It is gorgeous. He has installed and trimmed our 2 new front doors which were done while making the single door into a double door opening. He then rocked around that door and framed it in.lt is far more beautiful than we could have imagined. He has updated the kitchen floor to ceiling and turned the kitchen and bathroom windows into very nice looking box windows. With his ideas and his hands he made a stunning 3 tier flowing waterfall surrounded by huge rocks and shrubs. He is in the process now of completing a 625 ft. deck over the garage. His quality of work is remarkable, his ideas and knowledge are amazing and his kindness is outstanding along with his values and honesty . He will absolutely be our man for many years to come. He will be continuing with other ideas as we decide we have found a man that could take care of those projects and us .We feel so blessed to have found such a strong and trusting man to help finish our dreams. Thank you Steve Smith C and C Greene
Ron did a patch job on my inground liner pool. Other companies that I sent my picture too said it couldn't be patched had to get a complete new liner that runs $4500. Ron saw the picture gave me a fair quote and did a excellent job patching the top step holes. Now im getting the pool opened tomorrow way ahead of schedule
Ron installed a door for me, after having some issues with my schedule, we were finally able to schedule a meeting and it was better then expected. He had the door installed in a few short hours and even though he needed to get some more materials, his final price was reasonable and close to the estimate that he quoted me. I will definitely hire again when I have some work needing done.

The work they did is great, the closet looks like it was originally part of the house, and they were great to work with. We received our estimate in a day or two, and they arrived to do the work just when they said they would. We will use them again for our next construction project!
Matt was professional, courteous, and got both the job and the estimate done quickly. I will definitely be using them again!

Saturday, for our final coorporate workout, we hiked Koko Head. It was intense. At the bottom, it looked pretty impressive, but I thought I could do it. The farther along I went, the harder it got. I kept going and going and it kept getting harder and harder and I was getting more and more tired. I literally thought a couple times that maybe I couldn't make it. But I pressed on toward the goal of reaching the top. And I made it! It was quite an accomplishment, and the view at the top was INCREDIBLE. I would say it was almost worth the effort of getting up there. But not quite. ;)
Along with quoting Philippians 4:13 and refusing to give up, one thing that helped me succeed was my fellow interns. We could encourage each other and help each other along the way. And when we made the trek back down, it wasn't even a big deal because we were just talking and enjoying ourselves. Before we knew it, we had reached the bottom!
Things in life that are set before us sometimes seem daunting and impossible. When we're in the middle of overwhelming circumstances, we may feel like giving up. But we need to keep in mind the prize of "the upward call of Christ." Also, God has placed people in our lives, and when we partner to further the kingdom instead of going solo, the results are amazing!

Fitbit flexes its muscle in stock debut
Strong IPO raises questions because the fitness tracker has plenty of rivals.
Fitbit Inc.'s stock soared in its debut Thursday in response to rapid growth for the industry leader in fitness-tracking devices.
But the rally, coming amid a sharp rise in valuations for technology firms overall, raised the question of whether Fitbit's stock was getting a step ahead of itself because Fitbit faces no shortage of rivals.
After San Franciscobased Fitbit priced its initial public offering at $20 a share — well above early expectations — the stock with the symbol "FIT" closed at $29.68 on the New York Stock Exchange after trading as high as $31.90.
That gave Fitbit a total market value of $6.1 billion. Fitbit sold 36.6 million shares in the IPO out of nearly 205 million total shares outstanding, raising $732 million for the company.
The proceeds were the highest for a U.S.-listed tech company IPO so far this year, according to the research firm Dealogic Ltd.
Fitbit's market jump "was a little north of what I expected but not too surprising " because Fitbit not only leads a fast-growing industry for wearable tracking devices but is also profitable, said analyst Ramon Llamas of the research firm International Data Corp.
In a note posted on Fitbit's website, Chief Executive James Park called the offering "a huge milestone for us … we can't wait to see what's next."
Fitbit's devices and other activity trackers have gained popularity for their ability to count steps, monitor calories burned and track time spent sleeping, among other things, which appeals to health-conscious, data-obsessed consumers.
Founded in 2007, Fitbit provides a multiplatform approach to health and fitness, integrating mobile apps and websites with colorful tracking devices that can be worn as bracelets or
clipped to clothing.
Fitbit's sales last year of $745.4 million were nearly 10 times its sales of $76.4 million two years earlier. Fitbit turned a $131.8-million profit in 2014.
Last year the company sold 10.9 million devices — suggested retail prices range from $59.95 to $249 — in 45,000 retail stores in more than 50 countries as well as online, according to the IPO's prospectus.
In the first quarter of this year, Fitbit had a leading 34.2% of worldwide shipments of wearable device trackers, IDC estimated.
In a report Thursday, IDC said the industry's global shipments will more than double this year, to 72.1 million from 26.4 million in 2014, and are forecast to jump to 155.7 million in 2019.
The fitness devices are part of an exploding wearable computing market. Touted as the next big thing in technology, wearable tech has spawned a dizzying array of Internet-connected wristwatches, "smart" clothing and jewelry and headmounted devices.
But competition is stiff in the fitness-tracking arena, with Fitbit facing rival products from Jawbone, Misfit and Garmin, along with China's Xiaomi Inc., which makes the Mi Band device.
Then there's Apple Inc.'s new smartwatch, which Fitbit's prospectus noted was a potential risk for its future business because the Apple device will have "some health and fitness-tracking capabilities."
Although it's impossible to know how much of a threat the Apple Watch or smartphone fitness apps will pose to Fitbit, there are cautionary tales. For instance, the proliferation of smartphones with GPS undercuts the sales of expensive dashboard GPS navigation systems.
Research firm GfK pre- dicted in a recent report that smartwatch sales will surge this year, partly because of heavy marketing, and will surpass fitness tracker sales for the first time.
Fitbit has stumbled at times. Last year, the company recalled its Fitbit Force tracker after some customers complained of rashes and blisters on their wrists.
Fitbit's strong IPO joined surging valuations of tech companies, fueling concerns about another tech bubble.
Based on capital already raised, nonpublic start-ups such as ride-sharing firm Uber Technologies Inc. and video-messaging application Snapchat Inc. command multibillion-dollar valuations. New investments in venture-capital funds jumped to $30 billion in 2014 from $17.7 billion in 2013, the National Venture Capital Assn. said. Investments in start-ups hit $49.3 billion last year, the most since 2000 and the thirdhighest ever, the group said.
Harley Pasternak and actress Jordana Brewster lead a workout on behalf of Fitbit at the New York Stock Exchange.
JAMES PARK, Fitbit's CEO, called the stock offering "a huge milestone for us."

I liked it! Good job
I thought I heard him in an interview in the beginning of the season saying he has gone back and forth with the air shocks and nothing seems to work for him. He also stated they have changed everything but the rider.
Did mine in 1984. Doctor told me I might have to have something done later. Feels good now only somtimes it bothers me. Kinda like a dull pain. Dislocated hip was by far the worst pain I have ever experienced!

Reeds? Nothing in the exhaust? Good fuel? Carb clean? Electrical hooked up right? Probrally somthing you overlooked.
I didn't have any issues on the 85 but you can see if the part numbers are the same on the big wheel and small wheel to double check.
Pretty sure you need a longer swingarm. Had 07 cr85 that i put big wheels on and had to get a longer swingarm. Bought it off ebay for a reasonable price.
Try to be strong you can do it.
Damn, So sorry for you and your families loss!

I had such a pleasant experience with them. The girl who works there was really helpful. She was the only one with a smile on her face. As soon as I walked through the door, she greeted me. I have never interacted with any of the guys, so I have never had a terrible experience with them.
I had been awaiting receipt of a very important letter and contacted Bobbi to find out if it had arrived. He checked my mail, reported that it had arrived, offered to fax it to me which he did instantly , and sent it to me by UPS overnight. I appreciated the great customer service, can do attitude and effort to please.

Grace was starting to wiggle around during tummy time so I ran to grab the video camera. And this is what I got. After a lot of coaxing, Grace finally rolled over! :) She ended up doing it again right after so I was pretty excited. Hopefully this means lots of rolling, though that means I need to start doing a better job at baby proofing. :)

Mud, clay, silt… call it what you will. It's wet, dirty and delicious (OK, not that). It's good for slinging, stomping in, stirring in a bucket and serving as a pie or a cake. We tried all these things today as part of The Big Play Box and we had a thoroughly mucky time. Yes, there was some tasting and that's how we know it's not delicious.
Mud and clay are also great for building, binding and finishing surfaces, and of course as moulding and sculpting materials.
'Mud, Mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!
So follow me, follow
Down to the hollow
And there let us wallow
In glorious mud'

Molly Ringwald Is Knocked Up With Twins!
This news makes me happy only because I get to use this For Keeps? poster. FINALLY. Nobody ever talks about that shit. They always bust nuts over Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Townies. I wasn't serious about the last one. But I am serious about For Keeps? I mean, the movie has Molly Ringwald suffering from post-partum depression, the film debut of Pauly Shore, Conchata Ferrell and a local slut named Michaela (that shit excited me because we almost have the same name). Perfect. And if I got an STD for every time someone told me, "Young lady you need to learn how to keep your mouth shut and your legs crossed!," I'd be Parasite Hilton!
Anyway, Molly tells People that she has two babies laid up in her womb. One has a penis and the other has a vagina. She already has a 5-year-old daughter named Mathilda with husband Panio Gianopoulos. She's pushing her twins out in August.
It is Molly's duty AS Molly Ringwald to name her twins Darcy and Stan after For Keeps?. Or maybe Theodore and Theodosia after the baby's name in that shit. She has to.
And isn't it weird that Molly Ringwald is old now with a family and shit? She's one of those people that should never have been allowed to get old. She should be forever sixteen.

Jack McGahee, director of Advanced Home Health Care, recalls with angst the brutal four days in the sun at the 2013 Northwest RibFest in Nampa last month.
"There was no shade at all, and we were just sweating," he says.
So, when he received a notification that his credit card had been charged $250 by Knock Out Promotions, – a company registered to Kasey Thompson. Thompson is also the registered agent for Idaho Promotions Group LLC. McGahee started asking questions.
"Apparently, they assumed that I left early from the event," McGahee says. "We were there the whole time, while others opted to leave early."
Following this complaint, and many more about the Help Idaho and Idaho Promotions Group 2013 Northwest RibFest on June 27-30, BBB began an investigation that has turned up bounced checks, exaggerated claims and broken promises.
"I would expect that is only for the ones who left early," says Randal Nelson, director of Help Idaho, referring to the $250 charged to McGahee. "I mean people who didn't leave early certainly should not be getting that fee."
Nelson clarified that the charges depend on who sold the booth space, about how they would be charged. "If Help Idaho signed them, then we'll be charging them the early leaving fee, as was stated in the contract," he says.
The confusion of who does what is a key frustration, says Jim Brooks, of Tweekerz, a vendor at the event.
"From the time we were told the event had been canceled, changed and moved," he says. "When we showed up Thursday night, it was disorganized."
But, BBB has found that disorganization goes back to the start of this year's event. BBQ rule books, downloaded from northwestribfest.com on July 11, appeared to have been copied, dates changed and phone numbers updated from the 2012 event.
Nelson said he was not aware the Kansas City Barbecue Society logo was on competition booklets retrieved from its website.
"I thought we'd taken all of those down," he says.
In addition, there was confusion over the venue. Up until two weeks before the event, it was being promoted as being held in Meridian. Suddenly, it was moved to the Idaho Center.
Kasey Thompson, owner of Idaho Promotions Group, had promoted and sold the event promising attendance of 100,000 at the Kleiner Park, Meridian. After city officials refused to issue permits, the venue was changed to the Idaho Center.
"Here is the contract I was sent and [it] clearly states how the venue was supposed to be Kleiner Park and what their expectations was to visitors to the event," says Sharron Pence, of Nerium, who participated in the RibFest.
Thompson's response was, in an email, "Last year our biggest complaint was the lack of vendors to support the massive attendance. We tried to reconcile this issue with increasing the number of vendors; however, with the temperature issue this didn't work."
"To blame it on the weather is a joke!" says Kona Ice Treasure Valley owner Colleen Sitz. "Our much smaller vehicle was at the Meridian Art Fair the weekend for two days and did over $1,000. Weird – same weather there. Plus, I guarantee they didn't spend $130,000 in advertising either to bring in the customers for their event." An email from Kasey Thompson to vendors dated June 30, claimed Idaho Promotions group increased its event budget to $130,000 this year.
BBQ competitors complained also about the lack of communication between promoter and entrants.
"I was told there were going to be seven people selling BBQ," says Mark Grant, with Porky Chicks BBQ, in Fayetteville, Ark. "When I showed up, there were 20 or 21 BBQ sellers. So, after driving 2,000 miles to get there I have been lied to."
BBB discovered more than $2,700 in underfunded checks to the headline performers. Gary Burns of Brand Entertainment in Nashville, Tenn., confirmed late Tuesday afternoon that a check given to Ty Herndon bounced due to insufficient funds. Burns said he expected checks to Billy Dean, Led Zeppelin Live and Journey Unauthorized to bounce as well.
The Better Business Bureau determined Idaho Promotions Group has an F rating.
"That 'F rating' is specifically given because they haven't been responsive to a complaint.," BBB CEO Dale Dixon said.

Here' are links to two articles about Politkovskaja's murder and to her books:
From RFE:
According to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists,
Politkovskaya is the 42nd journalist killed in Russia since the collapse of
the Soviet Union in 1991, and the 12th in a contract-style killing since
President Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000.
Full article here.
From a discussion on the Democracy Now! website; the speaker is Katrina Vanden Heuval, editor of the Nation and (supposedly) an expert on Russia:
Listen to or read a full transcript of the discussion here.
. . .it's important to see this as a span since '92, and so much of it is
connected to the corruption of this brutal war, what Anna wrote about, the
brutality of a war that is a cancer in Russian society and that betrays what
Putin claims is his ability to bring security and stability to a country,
because since 2002, over a thousand Russians have been killed in terrorist
acts, direct responses to an occupation of Chechnya. . .
. . .I knew her a little. I met her in Moscow. I met her in New York. And she was intense. She was aware of the risks she faced, but she was never fearful, because she believed it was the duty of a journalist to report on the truth and reality. And she had a sense of a higher mission. Some journalists in Russia, I fear, felt she was obsessed, had become fanatical in her crusade. But as you see on the streets, the hundreds of people protesting her death suggest this could be a tipping point of sorts, because what's so crucial -- and we were talking earlier -- is that Russian journalists unify, organize that there be some solidarity. That may be very hard to accomplish, but it's going to be needed if Russian journalism can retain some independence in the face of a growing authoritarianism.
Links to her books:
here, here, and here.
I have not read any of them, but I have perused the pages of one of them in a book store and struggled with whether to buy it or some other book I had in the other hand at the time. . .

I've been creating comics and illustration work professionally for over a decade, including projects about birdwatching, angsty grifters, goofy hackers, and most recently, rebellious gargantuan workers at the edges of the solar system. Titan has been called "one of the most realistic scifi webcomics we've read in ages" by Lauren Davis of io9 and "a spectacular science fiction comic" by Phillipe LeBlanc of The Comics Beat. Titan was serialized online and in print by Study Group Comics, and Éditions Pow Pow published the book as a 200-page French-language graphic novel in 2017! The book was nominated for
You might have seen my freelance illustration work in the pages of The Portland Mercury, Craft Magazine, Papercutter, and The California Sunday. I'm also a designer, creating work for New York Review Comics, Floating World Comics, Study Group Comics, Littlefour, and Scout Books.
A little over two years ago, I made the leap into being a full-time freelance creative! I've always made the majority of my comics and art "after hours," and it is incredible to be able to dedicate myself to it as my primary job for the first time in my life! I've already seen my productivity increase by a huge amount. In addition to my freelance work I'm hard at work on personal projects like Titan and I've been able to make time for unique projects like my Cent Jours de Montréal sketches. My current major project is 13e Avenue, a French-language YA graphic novel series which will be published by La Pastèque in 2018, along with lots of shorter works and other projects.
But with this freedom comes the well-known ups and downs of the freelance lifestyle! I've been lucky enough to have found some amazing clients already, but this work can be feast or famine at times. In order to help ballance things out, I'm turning to you to help me create more work, more often!
How does this work?
Patreon is a platform where generous people like you can become patrons of the arts by directly supporting creators like me. If you have ever supported a Kickstarter campaign, you'll understand the basic idea of crowdfunding, but in this case it is smaller amounts over a longer period of time. You pick an amount you'd like to send me each month, and in return you gain access to Patreon-exclusive content (check the full list of perks below for details) and you'll have my eternal gratitude. You can change or cancel your patronage at any time, and you'll only be charged once a month at the amount you choose to give.
Other Creators Charge Per Comic, Why Aren't You Doing That?
While the majority of my creative energy is currently going into creating 13e Avenue, I've also got lots of little side projects going on too, from font design to printmaking and my daily sketches. I believe that a monthly contribution on your part will more accurately align with my various projects, which you will receive exclusive behind-the-scenes access to as they are created!
Thank you so much for your interest in what I am doing. I am extremely excited to be dedicating more of my time to creative work in the coming years, and I couldn't do it without your enthusiasm and energy for my work. I hope you will consider pledging your support for me at a level you feel comfortable with, but no matter what I truly appreciate that you took the time to read through my page!

The Emcee, Sophie, was super-professional as she introduced the acts.
First, four friends performed shadow dancing (beautiful):
Next, two friends individually told knock, knock jokes (hilarious):
Next, a magic trick (magical):
Next, four friends danced to They Might Be Giants, Clap Your Hands (groovy):
(get this CD if you don't already have it)
Next, our brave son took the stage to tell his knock, knock joke (hysterical):
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Dwayne who?
Dwayne, Dwayne go away...
Way to go Owee!!!!
Then two friends sang Twinkle, Twinkle:
Everyone had a turn @ something. [This is the inside of (half) the program]:
The finale was a group number. They sang the Natural Anthem although Owen referred to it as the mountain song. Both titles are appropriate. Watching Owen concentrate so wholly on his teacher's faces (Teacher Michael has a guitar-gig outside of preschool) to get all the words right and the hand movements was precious.
I'll never forget it. Even Maya was engaged sitting on my lap the whole time. And it was a PACKED house. Moms, Dads, cousins, g'parents, siblings..all cheering, supporting and loving these kids. Super great.
Woody video'd the whole thing on our video camera but I taped a few things on our camera. So, here's part of the finale...enjoy:)

CPR on Trauma Patients
I'm hoping to pick the brains of some trauma/SICU nurses. I work exclusively in NICU, but I was completing some modules through the AACN website and had a random question about adults and trauma.
One of the case studies involved an 18 yo in a motorcycle accident with severe crush injuries to the chest, GCS of 3. They mentioned in the presentation that the patient required resuscitation on arrival, and it got me thinking...can you even do chest compressions on a patient with severe traumatic injuries to the chest wall? I know that the act of compressions itself can cause fractures, but it seems as though applying force to all of those loose bone fragments could cause even further bleeding and damage.
Like I said, adults are totally out of my comfort zone, so I'd be curious to hear insights from nurses who actually work with this patient population. Thanks!

Joined: Jun '15; Posts: 790; Likes: 2,220Mar 3Someone undergoing CPR is already dead. Can't make them any deader by doing the CPR, even if those hypothetical loose bone fragment might cause injury- but can give them a chance to make it to the point of surgery or definitive care.
That's what we say about the patients we don't have time to do more than dump a bottle of betadine over instead of a true quality prep- we hope they live long enough to get the infection.Mar 3In the world of trauma he has a very low chance of survival. Bilateral chest tubes/finger thoracostomy, address external bleeds, resuscitate fluids as appropriate, secure the airway, and if there isn't any progress in rhythm or return of circulation call it. If you think about all of the force that caused multiple rib fractures, they also probably cause cardiac and pulmonary contusions, injury to the CTLS, and most likely a pretty severe insult to the CNS.
You could do a thoracotomy (and then do cardiac massage) but statistics show that blunt injury arrested trauma patients do not benefit from this.Mar 3Just make sure when you transfer him over from the ER stretcher to the ICU bed that you already have the body bag underneath. It will save you some moving at the end of the shift.Mar 4Quote from PeakRNI just watched another AACN module which presented a different case (penetrating knife wound to the chest cavity rather than a crush injury), and they discussed the advantages and drawbacks of thoracotomies. Fascinating stuff.You could do a thoracotomy (and then do cardiac massage) but statistics show that blunt injury arrested trauma patients do not benefit from this.
If anybody here is a member of the AACN, I highly recommend this CEU module. The subject matter is very interesting, and I found the speaker quite entertaining:
After the Golden Hour: Resuscitation and Management Challenges of Trauma Patients in Critical Care
https://www.aacn.org/education/ce-ac...-critical-careMar 4Dead patients in the setting of blunt trauma invariably stay dead. Penetrating trauma has a small chance of survival but that depends upon very quickly achieving hemorrhage control. I agree with putting a body bag on the gurney before moving the patient over to it, at least in the setting of blunt trauma, because it will save you time and energy in having to roll the body from side to side in order to get the bag under the patient. Of course having the body bag in place already does present a bit of a poor optics problem... it does look bad.Mar 4Agree with all. Wonder if the slight possibility the patient could end up an organ donor makes at least an attempt at ACLS worth the effort.

SALT LAKE CITY — It's not hard to see there are big changes coming for college football, given the money involved. TV rights are one thing, but now Google, Twitter and other platforms are entering the sweepstakes.
The richest football programs may get richer, but others won't be able to financially compete. Some believe unchecked spending will eventually lead to a collapse. Just like the national debt, the money tree can't grow forever. For that matter, maybe college football can't, either.
But in my mind, it won't be money — or lack thereof — that is most likely to bring down college football. It will be constant scandal.
I may be naïve to believe there are still colleges that exist for education and research, rather than touchdowns. But there are agencies to aid victims of sexual violence. And there are lawyers. At some point it could become too risky and expensive for universities to field teams, thanks to the sexual misbehavior issues. Because every team is going to have them. Every single team.
Unlike the impossibly wealthy NFL, most college athletic departments don't clear enough cash to constantly defend themselves against lawsuits. Meanwhile, professional sports don't pretend to have a higher objective than entertainment. Which makes it ironic that the Atlanta Falcons didn't wait upon learning of sexual assault accusations against former Utah State linebacker Torrey Green, this week. The Falcons released him, saying through team owner Arthur Blank, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "We don't want anybody connected to the organization who has those kinds of accusations around them."
Meanwhile, USU, its counseling services, the Logan police, the Cache County attorney's office and the coaching staff all must ascertain who knew what, and when, in the Green case. Coach Matt Wells said he was unaware of the situation until a few days ago. So Green, who has not been arrested or charged with a crime, played out his 2015 season with the Aggies without hindrance.
"Things that have been brought to me have been recent, in the last week or so. What you know is what I know," Wells said at a Thursday press conference. "It was all news to me very, very recently. I can't comment on that any more."
Regardless of what procedural flaws might exist in the Green cases, which began in 2015, such occurrences are a threat to the continuation of college sports. USU is far from the only school to cringe in the light of scandal. Even BYU — which has never been sanctioned for NCAA violations — endured a scandal involving allegations of rape in 2004.
In 2015, USU player Hayden Weichers pleaded guilty to distribution of a controlled substance and sexual battery after reportedly meeting with a prostitute in Logan. In 2013, Ute defensive lineman Niasi Leota was dismissed from the team after being charged with allegedly beating and threatening to kill his wife.
Penn State, Notre Dame, Florida State and countless others have had scandals. Name the school and there has been a football player involved in a sexual assault case. Put 100 young men on a campus, add the twin instigators of entitlement and hormones, and you get disaster.
As if that weren't enough, the Washington Post cited a study showing a dramatic rise in college campus rapes when football games occur. An increase in alcohol consumption among celebrating students was cited as a possible reason.
Green's case has drawn quick attention, in part because Baylor football coach Art Briles was fired and university President Kenneth Starr demoted when it was determined accusations of sexual assault were improperly handled.
Many believe there's too much power in college football for the game to disappear, regardless of the epidemic of sex-related crimes. But there are victims, families and activists who would say the best way to stop "football crimes" is to stop football. It's not inconceivable that protests could become as prominent as those for other causes that have changed the world. Some universities might even decide football is too dirty.
I worry about criminal behavior killing football. But I worry about the victims even more.

Investors gave a cool reception to Chase Manhattan Corp.'s deal to buy J.P. Morgan & Co.
Despite cheerleading from Wall Street analysts, shares of both companies fell significantly in Wednesday's trading. Chase closed down $2.125, or 4.02%, at $50.6875, and Morgan slipped $4.25, or 2.29%, to $181.25. Morgan's shares were trading at a 12.4% discount to the announced deal price. Analysts said a selloff in J.P. Morgan shares was to be expected as investors took profits now on Morgan's recent run-up rather than wait for the deal to close. And though many argued that the deal is a good one for the long term, some tied the drop in Chase's shares to a perception that the price was too high and a fear that cultural clashes might slow the companies' integration.
"Usually these kind of mergers don't work," said analyst Andrew Collins of ING Barings. He cut his 2001 earnings projection for Chase by 20 cents a share, to $4.45, and cut his target price to $60 a share from $70.
Mr. Collins downgraded Morgan to "hold" from "buy," saying there is little opportunity for further gains. He downgraded Chase to "buy" from "strong buy."
A price of $190 a share would have been appropriate, Mr. Collins asserted, rather than the $207 a share indicated by Chase's stock price at the time the deal was announced.
Michael L. Mayo of Credit Suisse First Boston said investors do not always consider bigger to be better. Chase will now have to persuade the market that the long-term positives outbalance the short term negatives, he said, particularly the possible dilution of Chase's shares.
Chase and Morgan said that, for Chase to break even, J.P. Morgan would have to earn $2.8 billion next year. It would realize about $633 million of synergies - incremental revenue after incremental expenses plus savings - in the first year of a combination.
Kenneth T. Mayland of Clearview Economics said studies of past banking megamergers have found scant evidence of economies of scale.
"You can argue where these economies stop" accruing - at $500 million, $1 billion, or $5 billion of asset size, he wrote in a report, "but you certainly do not need to be $660 billion! Peer through the academic fog; ask yourself, do the biggest banks have the lowest cost structure, or are they the most profitable? The answer on both accounts, no!"
Analysts said talks between J.P. Morgan and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Inc. and between Chase and Merrill Lynch & Co. had failed. Chase did not get the best deal it could have, they argued.
Chase "probably wanted Merrill Lynch, but they'll take J.P. Morgan," James Schmidt, a portfolio manager at John Hancock Advisors Inc. in Boston, told Bloomberg News.
The deal "moves Chase up into the leagues, but it still doesn't make them a bulge-bracket firm in equities," Mr. Schmidt said.
Most observers were positive about long-term prospects for the marriage.
Richard Bookbinder of Bookbinder Capital Management, a firm that manages a hedge fund of funds, called the prospective combination a "great merger between old and new economy. Instead of putting their toes into the water of globalization and trying new markets, they cut a deal to get it done," he said, pointing to Chase's approach to online banking and Morgan's business in Europe and Asia.
Frank J. Barkocy, senior analyst and principal at Keefe Managers Inc., dismissed the selloff as "the usual skepticism" and predicted that the Chase-Morgan combination would eventually find market approval. "It's a deal most have not anticipated," he said, "but it will be favorable."

When I got the package I got a little scared! It did not feel like a sponge at all... but like a sweater brick, or a pedi-rock. Then I followed the directions on the back of the package. You must let it sit in water for a few minutes. I'm impatient though and just held it under running water for about 30 seconds. It soften up nicely and became a little fuller.
Then lightly scrub your face. I had on makeup the first time, so I added a bit of cleanser. A little dab goes a long way, I had lots of suds from a dime size amount. Next, you rinse it (and your face), then squeeze it with your hands until there is no more dripping water. Then I hung it up and let it air dry. The next day it looked like a raisin!
I love how my skin feels after using the sponge. It helps to exfoliate with out scratching your face! I would recommend sterilizing it in boiling water for a few seconds at least once a week. The sponges are suppose to be replaced about every 2-3 months.
You can purchase a WONDERPIEL Konjac Facial Sponge through Amazon at a great low price!!

In July, I celebrated my 25th birthday. I feel great about 25. I think it's the last birthday a girl is allowed to have. So I always say, " 25 forever!"
But all kidding aside I had a wonderful birthday. We went to IOWA to visit mom and dad the last week of June, and they came back with us.. So I was able to enjoy having everyone here for my birthday! We usually go to the lake but, we didn't this year. We went to the country, and did dinner and a few hours of fire works. Great time!
Yesterday, Jan, My mother in law, gave me a box that had come to her house. It was a belated birthday gift. I opened the box to find in it, the most gorgeous shoes i've ever put my foot in! I saw a picture of these shoes, but seeing them in real life makes them completely diferent! I got several pairs of shoes (my faves!) for my birthday this year. But this was icing on the birthday cake!
I'm so so so thankful to have such a wonderful family all around!

Paris, 24 March 2009 - For immediate release
Young Reader Prize Adds Press Freedom Category
The World Young Reader Prize, an annual award from the World Association of Newspapers to recognise newspapers that do the most to develop young readership, has added a press freedom category to honour newspapers that teach effectively about the fragility and importance of press freedom in a democratic society.
The deadline for the press freedom award is 15 April. The award will be announced on 3 May, World Press Freedom Day and presented at the 8th World Young Reader Conference, to be held on 27 to 30 September in Prague.
Judges for the special press freedom category will be WAN Golden Pen laureates Doan Viet Hoat (Vietnam) and Pius Njawe (Cameroon) and Nayla Tueni, daughter of assassinated Lebanese publisher Gebran Tueni.
In addition to the new Press Freedom category, WAN has created a new "Making the News" category that honours innovative projects that allow young people to try their hand as journalists. Other categories are Editorial, Brand, Public Service and Newspapers in Education. Deadline for all but the press freedom category is 5 June.
The World Young Reader Prizes are awarded annually to innovative newspapers that have devised, in the judges' opinion, the best project or activity in the past 24 months in one or more of the main areas of young reader development. "Young reader" refers to those under age 25.
The prize is sponsored by the paper manufacturer Norske Skog as part of its support for WAN's young readership development activities.
Full details about the prize can be found at http://www.wan-press.org/worldyoungreaderprize
WAN is also reinforcing other initiatives that engage young people in the defence of press freedom and that encourage teachers to make sure that young people understand the importance of, and threats to, press freedom.
These include:
- Creation of a Facebook group called, "Show Your Face to Free Shi Tao," where Facebook users are encouraged to download posters of the jailed Chinese journalist and upload photos of themselves posing with it and their local newspaper. Information about the group can be found at http://www.wan-press.org/nie/articles.php?id=1923
- Creating new exercises and materials on press freedom themes for parents and teachers targeting 12- to 16-year olds, with the help of Newspapers in Education experts from Argentina, Belgium, Palestine and Denmark. The exercises incorporate WAN's 2007-2008 press freedom films, available on YouTube.
The Paris-based WAN, the global organisation for the newspaper industry, defends and promotes press freedom and the professional and business interests of newspapers world-wide. Representing 18,000 newspapers, its membership includes 77 national newspaper associations, newspaper companies and individual newspaper executives in 102 countries, 12 news agencies and 11 regional and world-wide press groups.

|Brigade members Evelyn Austin and Becky Limback pictured with this week's award winners
St. Louis boasts the second-largest Mardi Gras celebration in the U.S. outside of New Orleans. However, when it comes to good sportsmanship, The Gateway City is second to none. This was certainly true when the Sportsmanship Brigade paid another a visit to "The J" on Saturday for 7u boys basketball. First, the Brigade focused on young Maxwell who you see in the picture above. Maxwell represents the intention of this teaching league. He listened to his coach and followed instructions to the letter – even when one of his teammates didn't necessarily want him to. There was a play where Maxwell's coach clearly told him to dribble the ball to the corner to set up a shot. Maxwell's teammate wanted him to pass the ball so he could take the shot. It took a lot of courage and focus for Maxwell to remain obedient to his coach. It's for this reason that the Brigade saw fit to reward him.
Coaches Kevin Kelley and Scott Hardwick set amazing examples for their respective teams. While each coach had his own particular style, both were very attentive to detail and treated the young athletes with respect. Each man could be seen encouraging his athletes during the game and calmly explaining and correcting mistakes. Kelley and Hardwick were easy selections for the Brigade this week. The Sportsmanship Brigade is a group of Sports Commission volunteers who attend youth sporting events looking for acts of good sportsmanship. Athletes, coaches, parents and fans who exhibit good sportsmanship are rewarded with a certificate of recognition and a gift card to a local business. For more on the Brigade, including scheduling and volunteering information, please visit sportsmanship.org or call 314-345-5130. Until next time…
Be a Good Sport!

Brad Johner
Audiences first met Johner in 1988, when a partnership with his brother Ken began a 14-year-long musical success story. The Johner Brothers were named "Duo of the Year" by the Canadian Country Music Association in 1991 kicking off a string of awards. After being crowned "Entertainer of the Decade" and releasing a remarkable 26 singles from six hit albums, Ken retired from the music business in 2002. With an unparalleled dedication to his music and to his wide fan base, Brad turned solo the following year, releasing the critically acclaimed "Free" in 2003 and his Juno-nominated "Summertown Road" in 2005. Despite his multiple awards and nominations, including a 2003 Western Canadian Music Award for "Outstanding Country Album," a win at the 2004 Canadian Independent Music Awards for "Favourite Country Artist/Group," and a "Male Artist of the Year" win at the 2007 Canadian Country Music Awards, Johner remains the down to earth individual he's always been. A devoted husband and father to five sons, Brad has always maintained a level perspective. "What keeps me grounded is my family," says Brad, "My wife Rhea and my boys are the most important thing in my life. Creating and maintaining a life of normalcy for them is my number one priority".
Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and Brad's boys have started their own brand of music. These days Brad and his boys have a constant touring schedule showcasing a wide variety of music that keeps them pushing musical boundaries and having a whole lot of fun.

About Me

- No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
- I'm a 51-year-old Aspergic CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I'm also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees but I don't hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they've failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added "buy-one-get-one-free". I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds' to remind it why it feeds.

G is for Giant and Relatives
Being a UK/European release, this does not have the Giant branding on the card, however both the fort and the figures are Giant marked examples, the fort is in quite sensible colours and the knights are those we (Arlin Tawser and myself) sort of agreed to term type 2/3 (or) 'late/last' production in the pages of 1 Inch Warrior magazine a few years ago (NINE!!! Where does it go?...have I already said that tonight?!!!), and which have been re-issued by others in recent years (better make that the last decade or so...Where does...!), but more on them in the next part of the forts.
To the right is the other facade design, for the Mongol sets, again a sensible/realistic colour.
This one looks the same doesn't it? You're thinking he's uploaded two similar images, he doesn't usually do something like that? No, this is that old HK chestnut; When kissin'cousins go bad; The family down the street doing a strait copy, fort, figures and artwork/layout; All - bar the horses - poorer quality and unmarked. It's a fact though; Mix the horses up and you can't tell them apart.
The two cards, Giant supplier on top, copyist behind, it's good, it's very good, but a rather wasted effort, parents like mine wouldn't let me have either, "Not that rubbish, look here's some Airfix RAF Personnel, I remember when I was on Blackheath in 1940..." (I Love you Mum, but I REALLY wanted that big bag of Romans, and I still haven't found it, they had a whole rack in Webb's, Einco I think, I just KEEP finding the Indian Village!!!). While the corner shops didn't care where their cheap rack-toys came from?
Speaking of cheap rack toys this is the 3rd or 4th? (I'll work it out when I pull all the posts together in a few days) generation of Giant copy, with the poorer of the gold figures we looked at the other day, these are the ones with smooth bases.
Note the Woolbro overprint on the left hand one, this would normally have been found in Woolworth's, but some did end up with independents, as we saw when I did a Woolbro overview a year or so ago.

Hi, found my way here via the link on the Plastic Soldier Review page. I remember these castle sets quite well and the biplanes further up the page look familar too. I must be the right age...
Something I have tried to trace, without any luck as the memory is so distant, is whether any examples of mid-sixties F1 racing car snap-together kits sold with bubble gum exist. It was just before the aerofoil era and I can recall a BRM model amongst others. Each kit came with a cardboard section of racing track.
Does this ring any bells with anyone?
Cheers, Paul Keough

There were styrene kits probably by R&L in Australia which I thought came with Kellogg's, and Tito did soft plastic kits of the same size (4-inch X 2-inch approx. - single sprue), which would have been more likely to appear in the Tyler's/Dunkin type gum 'Sobres'?

Anglican Consultative Council's Safe Church Commission Gives Grounds for Hope
One of the disappointing things about many progressive churches, including The Episcopal Church (of which I am a member), is that they largely ignore abuse within the church that doesn't involve sex, drugs, violence, or mayhem. That is unfortunate, for … Continue reading

SunGard: Acquisition-Happy And It's Working
SunGard Data System Inc. was actually a division of an oil company which was spun-off in 1982. This spin-off has been doing very well. It became a public company in 1986 then became a private company again in August 2005 in a LBO valued at $11.4 billion.
While other companies like to highlight the fact that their growth has been organic, SunGard's strategy from the start has been to acquire companies with products that could be of use for it undertakings. Since 1986 it has done more than 160 acquisitions. Due to this it offers a wide range of selected best in class technology solutions to the entities it caters to.
SunGard has four divisions-Financial Systems, K-12 Education, Availability Services, and Public Sector. These divisions offer technology and infrastructure services, as well as software and processing solutions.
Just to show you how successful the company has become its Financial Systems business segment serves the 25 largest global financial services firms. Practically every leading financial services company in the world relies on SunGard's data systems. In fact most of Nasdaq trades go through the company's investment support systems.
There have been many stories of mergers and acquisitions that have gone awry due to different company cultures and other issues. SunGard is at home with acquisitions and has demonstrated it can structure its many businesses to meet overall company goals and objectives.

Siren Song - S5-E4
Other mistake: When the siren gets the pole that was speared through her pulled out, there is only blood in the middle part of the pole. If it had really been pulled out of her, it would be bloody all the way along.
Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when the mermaid goes underwater, she holds her breath.
Add time
The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell - S6-E14
Other mistake: When Phoebe arrives back from her vision quest to find Piper has been kidnapped she tries to sense from the frozen students which one created the headless horseman. As Gideon, Paige, Chris and Phoebe walk into the conservatory you see Zachery blink rather obviously.
Add time
Crimes and Witch-Demeanors - S6-E19
Other mistake: At the end, it shows the Charmed Ones orbing out of the trial, but Chris and Leo never leave. Right after the Charmed Ones orb out, Barbas begins discussing his evil plans with Gideon, so wouldn't Leo and Chris find out that Gideon is plotting against them? After they talk, the camera pans out and Chris and Leo are not there. I guess they just forgot to put in the scene where they leave.
Add time
Coyote Piper - S3-E9
Other mistake: At the beginning of this episode, Tara and Kierken are arguing and Kierken says that he could always "suck you into your little mixing bottle and start again." Then Tara says that "she has a better idea," and then she stabs herself. The life essence automatically flows out of her but the knife was still in her body. Later, the possessed business man stabs himself in front of Piper and she kneels down to see if he was okay and the essence flew into her, without the knife being removed from his body. At the end, when Leo comes down after Prue stabs the possessed Piper, he kneels over her, but the essence does not flow into him. It only flows into him after he takes the knife out of her body.
Add time
Other mistake: If all the objects in the fortress are originals from the fairy tales, why are the ruby slippers red? In the original story the slippers were silver, they were made red for the MGM movie, so they would be the brightest thing on the screen.
Add time
Sleuthing With the Enemy - S3-E8
Other mistake: When Piper puts the Belthazor flesh into the Belthazor vanquishing potion, she is the only one that gets "blasted" back even though she is the one standing farthest away from the stove and the potion.
Add time
Other mistake: During the second attack on Wyatt, when he lets his force field down the top of head is transparent from the special effects.
Add time
Other mistake: Approximately four minutes into the episode, two demons go to the manor. Pru catches them and "throws" them to the one side. Her arm motion would fling them to the right, but they fly to the left.
Other mistake: At the start of the episode when Prue and Phoebe are walking down the street (just before they find the box), the person with the green jacket on (in the background) reaches into the homeless man's hat and just "scrapes" the bottom of it. Not putting any money in, or taking any money out - a completely pointless action.
It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World (1) - S6-E22
Other mistake: Isn't it amazing that both evil Paige and good Paige have the same exact rocks on their "sides" when they're fighting in the underworld?
Add time
Other mistake: The one demon that knew about the 40s party was vanquished, and he went straight from spying on Paige and Phoebe at P3 to "glamouring" into Leo at the Manor. He had no way of telling Devlin about the 40s party, and yet it was still full of demons waiting to kill the Charmed Ones, with Devlin "glamoured" into Melody as a trap. And Devlin didn't even have that power - the demon that was vanquished did.
Add time
Charmed and Dangerous - S4-E13
Other mistake: In this episode, the Source talks about the "Ultimate Power" being the Hollow. But in Season 8, we learn that the "Ultimate Power" is Billy and Christy. (And they end up taking in the Hollow, so now are they the "Ultime Power" times 2?) Which is it? It can't be both.
A Paige from the Past - S4-E10
Other mistake: After Piper freezes the first crime scene that Cole and Phoebe (aka Frankie and Lulu) have hit, Piper unfreezes Darryl by touching him but at the beginning of the the episode when Piper and Cole are touching the car that Piper froze, to stop it from exploding after a car crash, while trying to help the woman inside, the car never unfreezes. This is somewhat inconsistent through the entire show a lot of times they can unfreeze things by touching them and then a lot of times they can only unfreeze things by Piper using her pointer finger to either unfreeze a head or a foot or some other body part.
The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell - S6-E14
Other mistake: In previous episodes it is stated that good witches don't freeze. But after Piper has been decapitated and her head is placed in the manor, one of the students freezes all the kids by tapping into Piper's freezing power. The kids are all good witches so they should not have frozen.
Add time
Other mistake: When Piper and Mark are in the police parking lot she holds the door open for him to get into her SUV. When he gets in you can see the SUV go down from his weight in the vehicle. Ghosts are supposed to be weightless.
Add timegwynnethsilver
Other mistake: After Prue sees Andy in Quake with his ex wife, Prue asks "sister?", but she's known Andy since they were children, she would know if Andy had any siblings.

Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22
Other mistake: Phoebe says to the genie "you've been stuck in the bottle for 200 years?" Later the genie says he will be an unwelcome house guest and not put the CD's back in their case. If he was in the bottle for 200 years how would he know of CD's?
Add timeBrenda Taylor Hudson
A Paige from the Past - S4-E10
Other mistake: When Piper and Leo are talking to Phoebe about Phoebe's fear of accepting Cole's marriage proposal, Piper comments "...even though he could rip your throat out with his teeth", but the closed captions mistakenly read "with is teeth."
00:05:05Cubs Fan
Other mistake: When Paige is talking to her charge in the club the same guy walks behind them twice in the scene.
Repo Manor - S8-E13
Other mistake: When Piper blows up the dollhouse, killing Pilar, Phoenix and Patra, you can hear the sound effect of telekinesis, despite Piper's power being molecular combustion.
Add time
Other mistake: In the kitchen scene, Phoebe adds a mix to a pie crust but puts an empty crust in the oven.
Other mistake: After Sam uses the powder on the sisters, erasing their memories, they're visited by Leo who starts to say "he must have gotten the powder" and one of the sisters finishes with "our mother." But in a later episode we learn all white lighters have this powder.

The Courtship of Wyatt's Father - S6-E16
Other mistake: When the Darklighter shoots Leo in the attic on the Ghost Plane, the arrow goes all the way through him. He wasn't shown to be using anything other than a normal Darklighter Crossbow, and there wasn't any evidence that, since Leo and Piper were still alive, that the physics of the Ghost Plane are any different from the Normal Plane. Yet, in every other instance of someone getting shot with an arrow from a crossbow, it never, ever penetrates the person's body, and always get stuck.

We're Off to See the Wizard - S4-E19
Other mistake: Leo tells Phoebe that fire throwing is an upper level demon power, but we know Phoebe had that power in her past life, Piper even reminds her of this earlier in the episode.
Add timebrianjr0412
Sleuthing With the Enemy - S3-E8
Other mistake: Cole is supposed to be one of the most powerful demons alive, but a small cut from Piper weakens him to the point where he can't even shimmer or keep up his "Cole" appearance.
Add timebrianjr0412
Other mistake: In both scenes in which Phoebe's hair is cut, her hair is up, with very little loose hair. There is no way that the amount of hair shown to be cut in both scenes could have come from her head. In the first scene, it is very clear when the demon cuts her hair, it is a few tendrils, yet when he is shown with Imara, it is a very measurable amount of hair. The super speedy guy who cut her hair the 2nd time, when she was Imara, was too quick to see the actual amount cut, but again, because of her hairstyle, he could not have cut the amount he shows to the Charmed Ones in the next scene.
Add time
Pre-Witched - S3-E17
Other mistake: During a flash back of Grams in the kitchen she puts a rose in a pot, then Piper walks in, they talk and Piper starts to add some salt and a couple other ingredients into the pot. Grams asks how she knows what to add, Piper says says something about mustard - Piper wouldn't know what's in it already, she just walked in. And she never even finds it strange that there's a rose with a stem in it.
Add timebrianjr0412
Other mistake: When Piper and Paige are talking at the Social Services building, Paige talks about one of her coworkers, but in the closed captions, the speaker is mislabled "Piper."

the hills surrounding and only sounds of the
flow of the stream.
Like chapters in a book the pages turned
and I could not forget what caused my
soul to ignite in flame and then burn.
Battling the darkness, I won't look
behind, I am gearing up for the the future
and the road that is yours and mine.
If this life indeed be the lessons, do we
cease to learn?I no longer want on this
road, where hell has had its share of turns.
I feel one with the river and one with the sea,
the mountains and the blue sky and one with
the dream.
Upon the rocks my body I lay and caught
in a spell my heart quickly relayed.
Possibly what I am feeling is the magic of you,
like day of an awakening where dreams do
come true.
The heart is like the earth layered from days of old
and though we try to forget the memories still unfold.
My emotions today are that of
a kaleidoscope, constantly changing.
a kaleidoscope, constantly changing.
I gave up, I woke up,
I tried, I survived...
I scream in silence, does anyone hear me?

Savor It
I was watching
We Were Evergreen
videos on YouTube and ran across one with the super cute Jack Savoretti singing with them. Never encountered this musician before but I loved his hair and his face. I decided to sketch someone based on his look, but not him necessarily.
This sketch makes me happy because I wasn't copying any photos, just drawing spontaneously, but I think he looks rather real. Oh yeah, I decided to make him somewhat naked.

Christmas Story, A (1983)
A Christmas Story review
4/4 stars
One of the beloved and endearing Christmas films of all time. Ralph "Ralphie" Parker (Peter Billingsley) wishes for a BB Gun for christmas. A simple plot with meaningful subplots coupled with sincere performances and an eloquent screenplay even adulsts may enjoy. Best lines: Mr. Parker - "Yeah, mind power, Swede; mind power." Ralphie - "Getting ready to go to school was like getting ready for extended deep-sea diving." and "My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay." Themes of discipline, bullying, peer pressure, proper parenting, gratitude and family were creatively displayed. Endearing, thoughtful and funny, A Christmas Story is not only a good holiday film, but also a flawless picture because of its messages and comical moments.

It's birthday time again, and today we're celebrating the 44th birthday of big-time American funnyman, Will Ferrell. Now, I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with Ferrell. When he first hit it big, I tended to distance myself from his films because he seemed like the trendy guy to follow at the time. However, after seeing his performance in 2004's Anchorman, there really wasn't any going back. Despite this, I still think that Ferrell is a bit of an acquired taste. You're either going to love his brand of humor or hate it, and there's times where I'm not very fond of it (i.e., I wasn't a fan of 2008's Step Brothers). Still, he's done enough good work to warrant a list of my five favorite Ferrell films, so you can understand the reason for this post. But without any further delay, let's get on with the celebration. Once again, happy birthday Will Ferrell!

Five Easy Techniques to Work With Complex Persons Within a Task Control Environment
Why don't we deal with that, clash is actually a simple fact of lifestyle. Regrettably, they have also a well known fact of working together with many people when you are task management Manager in a medium or perhaps large size organization. Staying away from people that trigger conflict only works where you don't have to work together with them in the future. For the rest, it's actually necessary to find a way to deal with them, ideally whilst keeping the conflict to a minimum. So , who are these tough people? They are often people via any team, any profession or any kind of company that you work together with. Some could have years of knowledge in the group and concentrate on a very certain field — which usually makes them indispensable for your project – but they will survive in struggle, and no matter what you carry out, they shall be troublesome. They're certainly not all a similar, nor light beer difficult in the same methods. Some are generally confrontational and argumentative, others affect you all the time, and there are individuals who criticize everything, regardless of the source. You'll be able to to the list the ones who will likely not generate any short-cuts, tend hear , nor deliver their particular part of the scope while per prospects. One idea these individuals all of the share is that they tend communicate well with others. Nevertheless, being conscious of who that they are and the way to deal with all of them can easily decrease the level of clash and make your daily lifestyle easier.
1- Be ready to Deal with Problematic People
The top element that you must carry out when ever dealing with complicated people should be to try and understand these people as much as possible. Sometimes, the hard behaviour that they are manifesting is only a sign of a a lot more primary difficulty. That they are spending their personal problems from others, often without even discovering that. No matter whether the ones problems are temporary or long-term; that they affect the personal thought patterns and actions. Finally, while a Project Manager you might not be ready to replace the root trigger within the problem, so that you require to discover how to work with all of them the way they will be. Right now there are a few primary items you need to keep in mind when trying to cope with complex persons:
2- Dealing with the Stress and Negativity
You want to be careful with how you deal with the stress and any detrimental feelings that crop up via driving while intoxicated charges with complicated people. We've already noted not re-acting to all of them in the same manner in which they are simply acting, but you may be wondering what do you do with all that negativity and stress? It's important to dissipate that in a lot of way, so that it doesn't turn into a cancer within just you. Burying the difficulty is not really dealing with that; it is simply just disappearing it coming from your self and everyone who are around you. Unfortunately, even though it's covered, it's still there, ingesting away toward you. It's vital that you are active in working with this, not simply recurring. You need a method just for elimination, these kinds of as: Failure to properly deal with the stress that difficult people bring into your life can cause serious complications just like high blood pressure, digestive problems or even heart attacks. At the time you eliminate the stress and anxiety, if you're helping your self conquer the problem; safeguarding your healthiness and preparing your self designed for the subsequent day's concerns.
3- Maintain Your Human relationships Positive Despite the presence of Difficult People
You prefer to maintain your relationship mainly because positive as you can. While you can't modification their particular frame of mind, you can change your own. Even if they may be negative, keep the responses positive. Ultimately, that will do even more to improve their very own attitude than whatever else you can perform. While they may still become poor with all others about them, they are going to respond to the frame of mind by being even more positive with you. This works, and the effort and hard work you put with it will pay away! An individual way which you can maintain an optimistic relationship should be to make a point of saying thanks to these people because of their venture if and when they deliver results. Do so in public places if you can. Everyone likes to become thanked, even tricky people. It shows that anyone with against them, even even if you may need to be solid at moments.
4- Experience a final option Prepare Udemærket (and Be sure They Find out about That Too)
Because a last resort, you can always smoothly let all of them know you know the escalation process within your organization (all organizations really should have one). Be aware how you try this despite the fact that, because you do want to make this sound like a "threat". Rather, stay positive, by saying that you don't want to go that path, but would prefer find a way to work together with regards to everyone's benefit.
5- Make the Most of the Situation
Finally, always take these issues as in order to improve your people expertise. What can you uncover from working with that complicated situation? How may you better handle it later on? What can certainly you modify, to prevent escalation in other confrontations? Make the most of the situation and it might help you in the long work. As you learn to deal with difficult people, it will certainly can make you an improved head. Superb community heads happen to be solid inside the air conditioner of ailment, not really created with all natural control credentials. As you may do the job with problematic people, you are focusing your command skills, preparing yourself with respect to bigger strains and higher responsibilities.

Upcoming Programs/News
~ Upcoming events
"Science Campâ€: Creationism from a Science teacher!  Geared to help students (13-18) know truth, find courage and stand strong. Parents and other students are welcome! July 10-13, 6:30-8:30 (join us for one night or every night) at Grand Mesa Bible Church, 710 Crawford Ave, Delta.  For more information, call 970-497-0800
A personal note:
Having taught 13 years in public high schools and this last year in the classroom at VCA, I am very aware of the "muzzle" placed on science teachers. Many times I wish that a student would speak up with intelligence regarding creationism (not in a hostile way, but in an informed thoughtful way). This then is the main goal of the "Creation science camp". I want to specifically help students to respond thoughtfully to the teaching of evolution in the public arena. Many students and adults "think" they can respond thoughtfully, but when the unexpected moment happens, the thoughts just aren't there if they have not been deeply understood and reinforced through multiple avenues. Evolution is drilled into our students year after year while the textbooks actually ridicule the thought of creationism.
There are some working on the Community Worship service for Deltarado Days too. Information should be coming on this event in the next couple of weeks. Deltarado Days will be held on July 27-30, with Sunday, July 30 being the Community Worship service.
We are still meeting for prayer on Wednesday mornings at the Delta First Assembly of God Church at 8:30 am. Let's come together to pray for our community.

Although I often try to avoid politics on this blog, I saw a shocking piece of news earlier that compelled me to make a political cartoon. Boris Johnson is our new Foreign Secretary!
If you've never heard of him before, then he is one of the most undiplomatic politicians in current British politics (second only to Nigel Farage!). He recently penned a hilariously rude limerick about the Turkish
Prime Minister President a couple of months ago, he made some rather Trump-like comments about Obama's "part-Kenyan ancestry" less than three months ago etc… the list goes on..
The only logical reason why Theresa May picked him for this job is both to appease the "Brexit" crowd and because she knows that she'll probably get to sack him within weeks because he's probably going to say something monumentally stupid at some point in the near future.
