by Robert W. Bly
AMACOM © 2006, 240 pages, $16.95 (ISBN 0-8144-7281-8).
Attract Customers and Maximize Sales
The difference between a salesperson who annoys you to the point where you walk away without buying and a salesperson who makes you want to talk with him or her more and buy what he or she is selling is personal magnetism. In Magnetic Selling, sales expert Robert W. Bly looks into the personality characteristics that attract others and the principles that can make a salesperson more successful. While examining the skills of the magnetic salesperson, Bly offers a variety of tips and tactics that can improve anybody's ability to attract others.
Bly explains that these principles of salesmanship, charm, charisma and a positive personality can also be applied to situations at the office to get a new job, negotiate a pay raise, persuade a team and obtain the cooperation of others. They can also be used at home to improve relationships and buy a new house or car at an affordable price.
Attraction Principles
While describing how salespeople can attract sales leads like a magnet, Bly presents the first of his "25 Principles of Magnetic Attraction:" Whether prospects buy or not is more important to you than it is to them. He explains that the prospect simply wants the right solution to a problem, and if the prospect senses that a salesperson is too eager and pushing too hard, he or she will be turned off. Bly writes, "One way to be perceived as a salesperson who is looking out for the customer's best interest is to use this key phrase: 'What would be best for you?'" In other words, put the prospect's self-interest before your own self-interest.
The second chapter of Magnetic Selling describes the words and phrases that get people to want to do business with you. To demonstrate the power of a single word, Bly points out that the word "buy" repels prospects because it means spending money. To help salespeople avoid this repellent word, he suggests that they should not say, "When you buy this product," but should instead say, "When you own this product," which attracts prospects with the magnetic suggestion of ownership.
In the same way, substituting the word "investment" for the words "cost" and "price" can have a much more magnetic impact.
Along with the principles that magnetically draw prospects toward a sale, Bly also offers several "Prospect Repellents" that describe the universal mistakes that salespeople make on their way to closing a sale. For example, the first of Bly's Prospect Repellents is "pressuring the prospect to take the next step in the buying process before he is ready." Bly explains that because prospects hate sales pressure, attempting to get a prospect to buy before he or she is ready to make the move will likely drive the prospect away. If there really is a legitimate reason for the prospect to make a purchase today rather than wait, Bly writes that a sincere salesperson should make the reason clear in an honest and enthusiastic way. Pointing out a clearance sale or the limited availability of a special feature can help.
Really Listening
Bly points out that one of the best techniques for becoming magnetically attractive is to "put the interest of others ahead of your own." To do this, he explains, talk to prospects about what interests them, not what interests you. To find out what interests them, ask questions and really listen to their answers. These answers can help salespeople qualify their prospects and increase their chances of closing a sale.
While delivering the secrets of cold calling, Bly offers many tips that can help salespeople close more sales. These include advice on believing in your product or service, and avoiding talking too fast. Bly explains that by believing in your product or service, you will have "greater understanding of and empathy with your prospects, and they in turn will sense this in you and be magnetically attracted to it." And by slowing down the delivery of your sales pitch, prospects will not think that you are trying to slip something past them.
Other sales issues covered in Magnetic Selling include developing a magnetic telephone voice and manner, getting the timing of a sale right, prospecting, follow-up, presentations, handling objections, closing, customer service, and getting referrals. ~
Why We Like ThIs Book
The beauty of Magnetic Selling is not simply in the positive suggestions that Robert W. Bly offers in every section. Although these play a part in the readability and attraction of his book, the true value Bly delivers comes from his ability to distill generations of sales learning and techniques into a series of actionable steps salespeople can use to improve their skills. Written with the reader in mind and delivering hands-on advice, Magnetic Selling reveals the essential secrets to sales success. ~

Efficacy of Uganda's graduated tax: The case of Moyo District.
Obudra, Baku Raphael
Please cite this item using this URL:
This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of Personal Graduated Tax (PGT) as source of revenue for local governments to render services to the people and contribute to the development of the areas under their jurisdiction, in order to determine whether the tax should have been abolished or not, in view of the controversy surrounding it. The Study was conducted through analysis of the laws related to PGT, review of literature on the subject, field research through interviews with tax administrators and taxpayers, to assess their understanding and experience of the tax and attitude to it. The Study concludes that the taxation principle underlying PGT was not clear, as the nature of PGT was not clearly articulated. Hence, it was not clear whether PGT was income tax, property tax, service tax or development tax. It has also been concluded that PGT did not comply with the canons of taxation, and therefore, did not qualify as a good tax system, although it was a generally accepted tax, and it generated some revenue that complemented Central Government transfers to local governments, to enable them discharge their functions. Abolition of the tax, therefore, led to a financial gap for local governments that needs to be filled. Measures to enhance revenue generation by local governments and to improve on tax administration have been recommended. These are introduction of property tax instead of property rates, and vesting the jurisdiction of levying and collecting property tax wholly in local governments; transfer of responsibility for employment income tax to local governments; enhancement of grants from Central Government; and strict enforcement of local revenue administration laws.
A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the Masters of Laws Degree of Makerere University.

Last week, I attended a meeting of the Medical Care Advisory Committee, a federally-mandated group whose purpose is to advise the state on services it covers through Medicaid and Medicare.
This group–made up of physicians and healthcare professionals from across NC–has an unenviable task: making suggestions on where to cut some $350 million worth of Medicaid spending in North Carolina. But as Dr. Gray (Division Chief for DMA) pointed out, it was not the MCAC's job to decide cuts, only to advise.
I'm sure that was a load off their shoulders, but it's still obviously a task the group takes seriously, and not an easy one. DHHS Secretary Lanier Cansler explained at the outset that some $118 million of the total projected cuts could not be achieved because they were either duplicated elsewhere in legislation (and so, counted twice), or because they were tied to federally-mandated services (which can't be cut).
As the DMA presentation points out, however (warning, pdf), NC isn't exactly under-spending, but we are under-performing. Data from the Kaiser Foundation indicates that NC is actually on the high end in terms of per member spending, and in terms of spending on optional services. Despite this, NC ranks on the low end where health outcomes are concerned, according to another national study.
The group talked at length about why this is, and, what it suggests about where our spending priorities need to be. The final portion of the meeting was set aside for public comment. DMA is, I think, to be commended for this, because they certainly do not make their task–or the task of the committee–any easier by hearing from the public who will be negatively impacted by their decisions. But those stories–moving though they were–kept bringing me back to the original question…
If we're spending more than average on services, but we're getting less than average on health outcomes–what are we spending our money on? Certainly, we have an opportunity to learn from other states who are spending less and getting more (or spending the same and getting more), but I think it also points to a central issue in human services in general, and particularly in behavioral health. We are paying for the wrong thing.
Check out this article, by Robert Kaplan and Michael Porter, about how we establish cost for services in healthcare. Their focus is primarily medical, but it's worth a read for social sectors, too. In the article, the authors point to poorly-measured outcomes as one of the main drivers of escalating healthcare costs in this country. Essentially, we have a system that perversely pays for services instead of outcomes. There is no incentive, the authors explain, to heal people quickly and effectively, because that's not what we're paid for…sound familiar?
This might seem horribly cynical, but ask yourself this question–if you, dear reader, as a human services provider, were paid based only upon the positive impact you helped create, as opposed to the amount of time you spend with people, how would you behave differently as an organizational leader?
I believe we're still several years away from this, but when the day comes that Medicaid and other payer sources pay for outcomes instead of processes, my angle is that we will have a groundswell of evidence-based practices, instead of top-down (and unfunded) mandates; we will have a much more community-based system, instead of so much institutional bias; and we will be much more social capital-oriented, instead of paid support-driven. And tumultuous as the transition will be, that will be a good day for all people.
But that's just my angle. What are your thoughts?

Note: If you get bitten by a poisonous spider like a black widow or brown recluse spider, seek immediate medical attention. Also, get medical help if you are not sure whether the bite was from a posionous spider.
Spiders do not feed on humans like some biting insects. Spiders usually bite as a defense mechanism. Most spider bites, medically known as arachnidism, are not a matter of concern.
They can cause mild symptoms like limited inflammation, redness, pain and itching. Depending on the type of spider, the symptoms may last a few hours to several days or even weeks.
However, bites from poisonous spiders like black widow or brown recluse spiders that generally live in undisturbed areas are dangerous.
In such cases, it is recommended to get medical help, especially if you experience symptoms like severe swelling, intense pain and stiffness, muscle spasms, fever and chills, abdominal pain, vomiting, difficulty breathing and lightheadedness.
At times, the bite may not appear to be serious immediately but may become severe after some time.
When treating spider bites, the main goal is to neutralize the bite and get rid of any toxins in the body. Many effective home remedies can ease the symptoms and promote healing. If symptoms remain after a few days, see a doctor.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for spider bites.
1. Ice Pack
When bitten by a spider, the first thing you need to do is clean the wound with mild soap and water. Then, apply an ice pack on the affected area. The cold temperature will help numb the nerve endings, soothe the itching sensation and reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Wrap a few ice cubes in a thin towel and place it on the affected area for 10 minutes at a time. Repeat as needed during the initial 24 hours.
- You can also put the affected area under cool running water for a few minutes.
Note: Never put ice directly on the skin.
2. Baking Soda
Baking soda is an effective treatment for spider bites. This alkaline substance can help draw out the venom, which will help reduce pain, itching and inflammation.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 3 teaspoons of water.
- With the help of a cotton ball, apply this mixture on the affected area for 5 minutes.
- Wash the area with lukewarm water.
- If the discomfort persists, repeat after a few hours.
3. Salt
Salt is another easy remedy due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It can effectively draw the venom out of a spider bite to promote quick recovery. In addition, it reduces inflammation and redness.
- Wash the affected area thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Sprinkle some table salt on a wet washcloth. (You can also use kosher or sea salt.)
- Bandage this washcloth to the affected part for a couple of hours, then remove it.
- Reapply as needed.
4. Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is another treatment option. It has an innate absorption property that helps draw out and remove toxic substances from the body. After the toxic substance is out of the body, inflammation and tenderness reduce automatically.
- Make a paste of some activated charcoal using a little water. Apply it on the affected area after cleaning it thoroughly with warm water. To keep the paste in place, put a bandage over it. Repeat every 3 hours for the first day to neutralize the toxin. If needed, follow the remedy the next day also.
- You can also take activated charcoal capsules, after consulting a doctor.
5. Potatoes
Another easy and effective method is to use a starchy potato. It can bring down the itching and inflammation, largely due to its anti-irritating and soothing properties. In addition, it keeps the affected area moisturized to encourage quick healing.
- Peel 1 large potato and wash it thoroughly.
- Grate the potato using a grater.
- Put a handful of the wet potato shreds into a piece of thin cloth and tie it securely.
- Clean the affected area with rubbing alcohol, then put the potato poultice on it.
- Leave it until the potato begins to dry.
- Discard the old potato poultice, and clean the area with warm water.
- Reapply a fresh poultice, repeating until the symptoms are gone.
6. Aspirin
You can also relieve minor symptoms of spider bites using aspirin. It can neutralize the venom to promote quick recovery. In addition, its strong anti-inflammatory properties can effectively control swelling and inflammation.
- Soak 1 to 2 aspirin tablets in a little water to form a paste.
- Apply this paste on the affected area.
- Leave it on for a couple of hours, then wash it off with lukewarm water.
- Repeat 1 or 2 more times, if needed.

Police officers are often confronted with very difficult decisions. When a dangerous situation appears to escalate, officers must often make a judgment call: Either try to diffuse the situation verbally or pull the trigger on the suspect. When an officer opts for the latter, he opens himself up to a potential wrongful death suit.
Wrongful death lawsuits against the police, however, differ from traditional wrongful death suits.

So here I was, almost certain that I'd neglected to post in over a week... Turns out my schedule is all mixed up. Shabbos went by but not a whole week. Super confusing. Last Wednesday I started taking my vitamins again. This time I'm doing it 'for real' - aiming for 6 months then a re-test at the bloodworks place. Here's to hoping that it helps get all my numbers out of the low-end red color. Late Wednesday afternoon we went out to the mall. Buzz 'demanded' a slice of pizza - he then opted to walk around the mall a couple of times then he led us out to the car. Some days he just doesn't want to play.
Buzz was super excited to cook - he kicked off the day by literally making 'breakfast IN bed' for me. (Yes, that's my stick blender, sans blade - he can reach EVERYTHING on the counter - it's insane!) His next task was undertaken in the living room (under the supervision of Z...) while I organized part of the guest room. Buzz took out his very largest stock pot (think HUGE) and got some soup 'cooking'. He must have felt that it needed some additional seasoning because he got out
Shabbos morning after shul we walked over to The FamBily House. The Freddies were there for the weekend - and Buzz was super excited to hang out with his cousin! Lunch was great! Then we relaxed, played a 6 player game of Settlers, relaxed some more... and eventually found our shoes, packed up our water bottles, leashed our dog, and headed out to The Park at the Top of the Hill. The kids had a blast running around and the puppy was thrilled to sit in a shady tower of the climbing structure and catch the breeze. After almost an hour Fuzzle and Yo'Abba went home and the rest of us continued on towards S&S's house. We were already halfway up the hill so the remainder of the walk was pretty easy. Buzz was getting tired and grumpy but he perked up when he realized where we were going. It was a pleasure to see S&S, as always. I ate waaaay too many grapes - and am totally thinking of picking up some more when we go to the store later this week. We headed home with a little less than an hour of Shabbos left. Phil joined us, she was after the leftover chicken from Friday night. (She had the right idea, it WAS delicious!) We partied for a while and eventually it was time for sleep.
We went over to The FamBily House to use their printer after our fritzed out on us. We ended up hanging out and sticking around for Shabbos leftovers (so it was like we were there ALL weekend instead of just for lunch.) We dined-&-dashed as is our habit - but it's the best way to get Buzz into bed on schedule. He was fast asleep in his cozy little bed by 8:32pm. Perfect.
Z will be working for another few hours so I think I'll load some tv onto the ipad and crawl into bed. Sleep sounds good. Tomorrow I guess I might tackle the laundry hill that's taking over my bathroom. Maybe I"ll wash some dishes and scrub out the kitchen sinks too - they could REALLY use it. Merely speculation for the moment - but who knows... It could happen.

Father Pat's Pastoral Ponderings
July 15, 2007
Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
Although Matthew's account of the Lord's Transfiguration seems at first to differ only slightly from that of Mark, closer inspection of its details, especially considered in the light of Matthew as a whole, shows a very different presentation of the event.
I want to open this inspection with what may first appear to be an unimportant difference-namely, in Matthew's narrative Simon Peter does not address Jesus as "Rabbi" (as in Mark), but as "Lord" -- Kyrie (17:4). Let me suggest two ways in which this change is significant.
First, it conforms to a pattern found all through Matthew, who avoids the title "Rabbi" with respect to Jesus. While Jesus was surely called "Rabbi" ("teacher) during His earthly time with the apostles, and although we do find Him addressed this way in Mark and John (never in Luke), Matthew is more circumspect in his use of this title. Indeed, in Matthew the only person to address Jesus with the Semitic title "Rabbi" is Judas Iscariot, and then only in the context of the Passion (26:25,49). Matthew's consistent usage here is probably related to Jesus' injunction not to use the title "Rabbi" among Christians (23:8). Thus, when Jesus is addressed at "teacher" in Matthew, it is always through the Greek word didaskalos (8:19; 12:18; 19:16,24,36). This is likewise the title by which Jesus refers to Himself (26:18). Here in the Transfiguration scene Matthew avoids the term "teacher" altogether.
This brings me to my second consideration: In this scene Jesus is vastly more than a teacher. He is the "Lord," ho Kyrios, the name signifying the Church's fully articulated faith in the risen Christ. As Kyrios, Jesus is the object of worship, and Matthew describes the Transfiguration as a scene of worship, which is why Jesus is addressed in His full, post-Resurrection title (Acts 2:36; Philippians 2:11).
This theological intent is the key to understanding other features in Matthew portrayal of the Transfiguration. For example, the posture of the apostles. Only in Matthew's account do we read, "And when the disciples heard [the voice from the cloud], they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid." (17:6). This is an important detail, because throughout Matthew this full prostration is the proper Christian response to the revelation of God's Son.
Indeed, this is a distinguishing characteristic of Matthew's Gospel, where the life of Jesus begins and ends with believers prostrate before Him (2:11; 28:17). Only in Matthew is prostration in the presence of Jesus described with respect to the leper (8:2), Jairus (9:18), the apostles in the boat (14:33), the Canaanite woman (15:25), the wife of Zebedee (20:20), and the myrrh-bearing women at the empty tomb (28:9).
Here in the Transfiguration, as the Church's affirmation of the divinity of Jesus, such prostration fittingly responds to the voice that proclaims, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (17:6). When the apostles respond to this proclamation by falling down in reverence, the whole Church prostrates with them. In Matthew these are not Jews on their faces before Jesus; they are Christians, who recognize the truth proclaimed by the voice from the cloud.
This intent also explains Matthew's omission of Mark's comment that Peter "did not know what to say" (Mark 9:6). His omission here is consistent with Matthew's sustained emphasis on "understanding" as a component of the Christian life. For this reason Matthew rather habitually leaves out Mark's references to a lack of understanding on the part of the apostles (for instance, Mark 6:52; 9:10,32).
This preoccupation also explains why Matthew leaves out Jesus' questions found in Mark (4:13): "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?" The parable in question is, of course, the parable of the sown seed, and it is significant that Matthew alone refers to "understanding" in connection with that parable: "When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart" (13:19; contrast with Mark 4:15). Corresponding to this, at the end of the parable, Matthew writes, "But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty" (13:23; contrast with Mark 4:20). Finally, at the end of the series of parables, Matthew writes, "Jesus said to them, 'Have you understood all these things?' They said to Him, Yes, Lord'" (13:51; no parallel in Mark). True discipleship, that is to say, includes understanding.
It is no surprise, then, that in his portrayal of the transfigured Christ, Matthew will include no suggestion that the apostles failed to understand the meaning of the event. They are, after all, Christians who are prostrate in worship, in response to the Father's voice.
Finally, Matthew alone mentions the gentle detail that "Jesus came and touched them and said, 'Arise, and do not be afraid'" (17:7). Here we are presented with another component of the Christians' relationship to the transfigured Son of God -- intimacy. The disciples are not only prostrate in fear; they are reassured in faith. This combination of transcendence and communion pertains to Matthew's understanding of the Transfiguration, in which he portrays the response of the Church to God's glorious revelation of His Son.

5 Underrated WWE No Mercy Matches You Need to See
For the first time in over eights years, No Mercy has returned to WWE's stacked pay-per-view lineup to serve as a SmackDown Live exclusive event. This year's installment features a handful of blockbuster bouts including a WWE World Championship Triple Threat match and a Title vs. Career match for the Intercontinental Championship.
No Mercy was always one of WWE's most anticipated events of the year during its original run from 1999 to 2008, often featuring the culmination of ruthless rivalries, chaotic championship changes, and most importantly, remarkable matchups.
Through the power of the WWE Network, you can now relive some of the greatest matches No Mercy had to offer, including these five underrated gems that don't often receive the credit they deserve.
#5 Chris Benoit vs. William Regal (2006)
Following his loss of the United States Championship at WrestleMania 22, Chris Benoit disappeared from WWE programming. It wasn't until that October's No Mercy pay-per-view that he finally resurfaced as the surprise opponent for William Regal.
The match was merely meant to be a short showcase for Benoit in his first bout back, but it turned into a mat classic between the two seasoned veterans. They had plenty of experience working against each other in WCW, so they already had that strong in-ring chemistry together.
Regal, despite not being too high up on the totem pole on SmackDown at that time, took the fight to Benoit. The intensely physical fight between the two saw The Rabid Wolverine ultimately emerge victorious.

We're not telling you to plan your autumn agenda around these wonderfully weird gatherings, but if you happen to be meeting in the neighborhood...World Chicken FestivalSept. 22-25, London, Ky.chickenfestival.comThis will be the 22nd annual celebration of all things poultry here in London, Ky., in the heart of Daniel Boone National Forest, where the catchphrase is "Feel the Egg-citement!" Among the events are the Grand Parade (this year's theme: "Something to Crow About"; participants strut down Main Street in homemade chicken costumes). A colorful midway features games of skill (e.g., the inevitable egg toss) and entertainment comes from the likes of Jerry Isaacs' Red Hen Boogie Band. Don't miss the display of the World's Largest Skillet -- an impressive 700-pound, 11-gauge, hot-rolled, stainless-steel beauty that requires some 300 gallons of cooking oil to fry up 600 quarters of chicken at a time. Boogie Woogie Fire Ant FestivalOct. 7-8, Marshall, Texasmarshall-chamber.comWe're talking about the red imported fire ant, so named because it was accidently brought into the States in the 1930s aboard a South American freighter docked in Mobile, Ala., and now infests much of the South. And it stings. So, heck, let's gather at the historic Courthouse Square in downtown Marshall and celebrate the critter with a fire-ant calling contest, "gurning" (ugly face-making), a diaper derby (don't ask), lots of food and much more. Banner Elk Woolly Worm FestivalOct. 15-16, Banner Elk, N.C.woollyworm.comThe highlight here is the worm race, during which the little crawlers hustle upward on "lanes" of string, with the winning "coach" pocketing a cool $1,000. The victorious worm (actually a caterpillar) is then examined by forecasters, who can predict the severity of the upcoming winter based on the champ's colors with an 85 percent rate of accuracy as recorded over the 24-year history of the fest. There's also "performances by dance teams and local entertainment," and a competition known as the Woolly Worm Woad Wace (something Elmer Fudd would love).World Championship Punkin ChunkinNov. 4-6, Nassau, Del.punkinchunkin.com"It all started back in 1986," says John Ellsworth, one of the founders, on the event's website. "We were playing around one day and somebody started talking about throwing pumpkins." From that fateful (if ridiculously random) conversation came 26 years (and counting) of annual chunkins, in which competitors use homemade devices -- we're talkin' catapults, air cannons, centrifugal-force contraptions -- to send pumpkins flying into a field, with the farthest shot the winner. Of course, there's also a Miss Punkin Chunkin Beauty Pageant and lots of guess-what pie. Last year's event involved 72 teams, drew more than 20,000 attendees, and grossed more than $100,000 in ticket sales and associated revenues. More than $70,000 of the take went to community organizations. Chitlin' StrutNov. 26, Salley, S.C.chitlinstrut.comWhen it comes to the essence of our existence on this lonely blue planet, it's really all about the chitlin's -- aka chitterlings, or fried pig intestines. This festival, now in it's 46th year, celebrates a legendary staple of Southern cuisine by way of food and craft vendors, the obligatory parade and beauty pageant (admit it, you'd rather be called the Chitlin' Queen than Miss Fried Pig Intestine), various hawg-calling and strut contests, and even an Antique Tractor Show. This internationally known event is an annual seismic jolt for the otherwise sleepy town of Salley (pop. 398), where the local rabbi likely takes a powder till the whole thing blows over.

Bhubaneswar: With the row over Puri Shankaracharya`s boycott of Lord Jagannath`s Rath Jatra lingering, senior Congress leader Jaydev Jena on Friday said the controversy should be resolved jointly by the seer, temple administration and Odisha government.
"Jagatguru Shankaracharya, Sri Jagannath Temple Administration and the state government should find a quick solution to the issue keeping in mind the direction of Orissa High Court in this regard," the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president said in a statement.
Voicing concern over the row following the temple administration`s letter to Shankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati ahead of June 29 Rath Jatra, Jena said the controversy is assuming a serious shape and immediate steps must be taken to resolve it.
Stating that Congress always puts emphasis on secularism and respects all religions, the OPCC chief said the controversy should end immediately taking into consideration the sentiments and emotions of the devotees.
It may be recalled that the Shankaracharya did not visit the chariots to offer prayer and perform rituals before the deities during the annual event on June 29 taking strong objection to a letter sent by SJTA which asked the seer to climb the rath alone without being accompanied by his disciples.

WATCH: Tortoises indulge in hilarious fight 'over territory'
Tortoises have a reputation for being good athletes, but hardly people see them in aggression.
But one such amazing yet hilarious moment was recorded on camera at a safari in South Africa.
In the video, you can witness it as two of them have been filmed going at it in an absolutely fearsome show of aggression.

Paiko Lagoon…Unique Setting Inspired Leading Architects
Part Two
Kuliouou, as a Hawaiian ahupuaa, was a contiguous community extending from the mountains to the sea. Today, Kuliouou Valley and Kuliouou Makai, with its unique oceanfront comprising Paiko Lagoon, differ not only geographically but also demographically.
The makai sector of the Kuliouou neighborhood, known as Paiko Lagoon, lies between Kalanianaole Highway and Maunalua Bay with a State Wildlife Sanctuary as its defining feature. The 33-acre preserve, administered by the State Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife, is primarily a sanctuary for water-birds, providing habitat for the Hawaiian stilt, various migratory shore birds, and sea birds.
The pond with its small central island is a highlight of the views from the surrounding homes. Unlike the lagoon, which is a protected preserve, the pond is accessible to residents for boating and fishing.
Homes currently on the market in the area range from moderately priced condominiums to multi-million dollar estates. What homes at all price points have in common is access to the unique natural environment of Paiko.
Over the years, prominent individuals, kamaaina families, and business leaders have built their primary residences at Paiko, attracted by its picturesque coastline, serene views, and sense of privacy. In addition, large properties were available in the 1950s and 1960s when many of the estates were developed.
Property owners hired the best architectural firms of the period to design their homes. Celebrated architect Vladimir Ossipoff FAIA build his own home in Paiko and designed others in the area for clients.
A gated, 1.25 acre estate at 5931 Kalanianaole, listed by Choi International at $5,388,000, was designed by the Seattle-based architectural firm Bassetti, Morse, and Tatom. Completed in 1962, it was remodeled at various times and showcases the work of designers Jack Adams and Rose Marie Alvaro. The sprawling, single story home opens to an unobstructed view of the lagoon, Maunalua Bay, and Koko Head, with water frontage in excess of 180 linear feet. The home interior is an expansive 5,182 square feet augmented by 715 square feet of patio and lanai space. The property, one of the largest fronting the lagoon, includes a separate caretaker's quarters, four car garage, swimming pool, and tennis court. Listing Realtor
Patricia Choi noted that an additional residence could be built on the property. "There is nothing like this setting anywhere else on the island," Choi said. "The home is open to the lagoon and preserve with its many species of waterbirds, but at the same time there is total privacy. The view is ever changing from sunrise to sunset… always conveying a sense of peace and serenity."
At the Hawaii Kai end of Paiko Lagoon is the Kuliouou Kai townhome community, built in 1972 and designed by the Honolulu architectural firm Boone & Brooks, whose projects ranged from single family homes to public buildings. The 2.379 acre complex, located on Summer Street, includes 28 units, all two or three story, well maintained gardens, and a swimming pool.
Recently RE/MAX Honolulu Realtor Maxine Robson listed a two bedroom, two bath Kuliouou Kai townhome at $545,000 and sold it after only one open house, receiving multiple offers. She notes that residents of this unique, well designed condominium complex rarely sell and place location and views at the top of their list of its most appealing features, closely followed by convenient access to the malls of Hawaii Kai.
"This townhome community is very popular with environ-mentalists and people who enjoy water sports…also with people who have animals, since both dogs and cats are allowed and with no weight limit," Robson said. "Kuliouou Beach Park is just down the highway. The buyers of the property I listed are people who grew up in Hawaii. In fact, most of my East Oahu buyers in recent years have been local and they are really pleased when they can find a home they like at a price they can afford, since inventory is very low today…particularly in the most desirable neighborhoods."

Some documentaries are more of documentaries than others. The other day I was watching some documentary on Finance and the future of investment banking presented by some networking professional in England and got so many revelations from it. The guy was soft spoken to the point of boring, but inside the calmness of his speech lied much wisdom.
There is always a different way of viewing things in the world. The norm has it that you should have a very nice CV – Curriculum Vitae that you send to a thousand and one companies when applying for a job. Much time is taken in decorating the CV. Some people go to the extent of paying the self-proclaimed "professional CV writers" a lot of money, just to have a two page grammatically choreographed document to present to as many companies as they wish to apply for a job in. Yes, a good CV is a nice thing to have because it's your marketing tool to the companies that have never met with you before. It also serves as your brochure explaining the product 'you' to the many potential customers out there who might want to buy the product 'you'.
However, most of us forget that as much as the product 'you' remains the same in all the markets, the markets differ. It is the market difference that makes all the difference between the smart guys and the just average guys. Attending a marketing class in campus, my lecturer talked of market segmentation as a strategy of increasing sales and beating your competitors when at it. Understanding the basic needs in a market and tailor-making your product to suit that market, is the key to a successful entrance into new markets and remaining relevant to perpetuity.
Being who you are and having chosen whichever line of career that you've chosen; you remain to be the same to eternity, not unless you want to blur your life with inconsistency and lose public trust. With that in mind, you need to know how to package the product 'you' to fit into the various ,markets out there where you want to go selling yourself in terms of looking for a job. 'K' is always constant and the 'K' is you; what needs to change is the marketing techniques and customization of your selling strategy to fit into the different companies' needs.
In essence the simple point being driven home here is that a finance professional will remain to be the same with the same skills learnt in school. However, the finance department in an engineering firm will not be the same as the finance department in an advertising firm. The skills may be the same, but their application will differ depending on the specifics in each company. Your CV needs to be company specific too; what we call the ED – Evidence Document.

Have you ever thought that life is worth living? Well I believe that you have to work to make it happy, like doing your best and working hard at your job and trying hard in school.
I believe that if you play your cards right, most of your life can become fun. I believe that you were put on Earth for a reason and that reason was to live and not go against the law and commit a crime.
I believe that things happen to you for a reason. If you attract good things, good things will happen to you, but if you attract bad things, that is why you think your life is horrible. Also, you may say that it's just karma, but it's more than just that. These things happen to you to help you get better later in your life whether it's a mistake and helping you to remember not to do whatever you're doing anymore, to helping you when you did something good and it gets you farther and offers you more jobs.
If you go against this and think that you don't care and you can't do anything about it, then your life will not be successful at all. Whether you're a child or an adult, the same thing applies. If you do believe that life is worth living and that good things happen to you when you start out doing good things, then you will remember to learn from your mistakes. If you make a couple mistakes, it's not the end of the world. ( unless of course you make something that will cause the end of the world) It will get better. If you believe in respecting life, then you will choose not to do drugs and drink, if you believe, you will live above the influence.
If you believe in living life to its fullest, which means to do what you want to do without worrying about the risk of doing whatever you're doing, then you will be happy and successful.
I believe in doing what you desire, (that goes along with the law) it's your life, no one else's. You choose what you want to do, no one can stop you because it's your choice and no once can control you.
I believe in having fun at the amusement parks and not just standing around while the rest of your friends and family get to have fun going on the amusement park rides. I believe in doing your best to get good grades in school. I believe in everyone trying to get a job instead of being lazy and making somebody else do things for you while you sit on the couch watching your favorite soap operas. I believe that everyone deserves to live. That everyone is unique in every way.
No matter how bad you think
You have it, it will always get better as you grow older, wiser, and try harder to get the things you desperately want.
I believe that you don't always have to be happy, but you'll have to be happy at one point of the day. I believe that if you're angry for any reason, don't take it out on other people, just go somewhere where you can be alone and calm down. If you believe in everything I said in this story, you will have a great life. It may not always be successful, but at least you will have a lot of success, happiness, friends, and family.
The end!

The harder the rain fell, the faster the points piled up.
What began as a light drizzling of a 21-0 lead in the first quarter for Woodland quickly became a downpour as the Wolves cruised to a 56-0 victory over rival Pioneer.
21-0 quickly became 28-0 after Blake Hutchison returned an interception for a touchdown. An end-around fake from Oscar Sanchez to Zack Duncan for another touchdown made it 35 first quarter points for Woodland.
A touchdown run and two-point conversion with 8:56 left in the first half for Oscar Sanchez made it 42-0. It was very nearly more when Anthony Jimenez intercepted Pioneer quarterback Alex Rodriguez and ran it back to the six-yard line but the Wolves couldn't get into the endzone in the closing seconds of the half.
Sanchez would score his fourth touchdown of the night on a 61-yard scoring run in the third quarter. Even with Sanchez, who would rush for 226 yards, on the sideline, the Wolves continued to pile on. Coming on in relief of Sanchez, Daniel Casas had two rushes for 67 yards and a touchdown on one drive in the fourth quarter to provide the final 56-0 margin.
For Woodland, it was a cathartic victory after three straight losses in games the Wolves felt should have gone the other way.
"It's a big confidence booster for all of us," Woodland tight end Hunter Chriss, who had a 31-yard catch in the second quarter said. "It just makes us come together."
The Patriots continued to show that while they have progressed since the start of the season but still have aways to go in their development. Pioneer's most promising drive came in the fourth quarter with Isiah Morten acting as a one-man wrecking crew for much of it. The only fireworks provided by the Patriots though were the ones sent up before the game in honor of senior night, as Pioneer would finish with five turnovers in the game.
"We really wanted to play well in our secondary," Woodland Head Coach Chris Smith said of his preparation for the Patriots. "They throw the ball a lot and we're going to see a passing team in the playoffs."
Woodland will face El Dorado in the first round of the playoffs next Thursday as brackets were released late Saturday afternoon.
Smith said he kept his approach simple last week with the Wolves' future beyond Friday night in flux.
"We focused on Pioneer number one with a little bit of how do we get better for whoever," Smith said. "We just went back to the basics. When we start gameplanning for the playoffs we don't want to not be able to execute because we don't have any fundamentals."
The final season of the Tri-County Conference was a grinder for both Woodland teams as evidenced by six teams from the league earning playoff spots.
"I think we have a good shot just like anybody else," Smith said Friday night. "The TCC is the toughest league by far to me and it has prepared us for whoever we see. I fully believe in our guys and I think we have a chance."

BOCA RATON — The Florida Commission on Ethics has begun an investigation of Mayor William Konrad and his dealings with a local developer who has sought approval for numerous projects from the City Council, officials said Wednesday.
Konrad If the commission finds fault with Konrad, it could recommend that Gov. Bob Graham impose sanctions against the 65-year-old mayor that could include impeachment, suspension, public censure or a fine of as much as $5,000.
City Hall employees and Boca Raton developer Anthony Barbar said they had been questioned in recent weeks by an ethics commission investigator about a lunch Konrad had with Barbar in 1983.
The mayor`s involvement in that luncheon had been criticized in a report from the Palm Beach County State Attorney`s Office, which investigated the incident earlier this year.
Lawrence Gonzalez, executive director of the ethics commission, would not confirm Wednesday that the state board was investigating Konrad. He said state law requires such inquiries by the commission remain confidential.
Gonzalez also declined to comment on whether a formal complaint had been filed against Konrad but has said the ethics commission must receive such a sworn complaint before it begins an investigation.
``If we had a complaint, it would be confidential,`` he said, adding that if the complaint were within the ethics board`s jurisdiction, ``we would send an investigator out to do a preliminary investigation.``
Konrad, who in March was elected to his third two-year term as mayor, declined to comment Wednesday on whether an ethics commission investigator had talked with him.

Does anyone know if the interest you pay on a 401k loan counts towards your annual contribution limit? No, of course not. Because you're not contributing to the plan, you're repaying a loan.Keep in mind that some 401k plans limit your ability to make actual contributions to the plan after you take a plan loan. If that causes you to miss out on employer matching contributions, you're unlikely to come out ahead.Remember the idea is to get OTHER people to pay you for the use of your money. Not to get you to pay you for the use of your money. So while you have the plan loan outstanding, the money is not invested and is not generating a return from other people/businesses. Now you're going to tell me that you'll take the loan proceeds and invest them yourself. And from those investment earnings, you'll repay the loan. If you can do that, do it with something other than your 401k money. When you've beaten the returns on your 401k plan for 5 years running with something other than luck**, then you'll be ready to try this strategy. But by then, you'll already have a boatload of money in your investment account and you really won't feel like tapping into your 401k money.Also, you don't get to set an artificially high interest rate. The plan will determine the interest rate. So you can't stuff extra money into the plan by charging yourself a very high interest rate. --Peter** Luck is something like having one stock that has such a big gain it wipes out all of the losses on your other 9 picks.

Fear seems to be one of the root causes of war. We see this when we look behind the more obvious origins of conflict, such as a desire for regional domination or a pattern of tribal jealousy or a demand for land reform. Fear is the oppressor -- fear of humiliation, of attack, of hunger; fear of failure, of being exposed or deposed.
Fear seems common in some form to everyone on earth. It is not unique to leaders, though their emotions seem to impel the thoughts and decisions that move armies. But fear can be controlled. It can even be healed.
Simple reason helps lessen fear in many cases. Education, travel, personal contact -- all can reduce superstition and ignorance, which are elementary causes of fear, and so decrease the animal urges that lead to war.
However, the remedy for fear and the conflicts it causes lies much deeper than human thought because the basic cause of fear lies deeper than any human experience. It is the belief that man is a mortal who is separated from God, infinite good. The Christ, Truth, has always been present to correct this false belief. It is here now with you and with me. It is the tender, comforting, spiritual idea that man in his real being is not a sinning mortal but the very expression from God. The fact is that all the good God is, He gives to man right now. Man never lacks a single good thing, nor can he ever fear that he must fight to keep or get it. God causes man to reflect all good and to know that he does.
And how do we come to see this kind of man as the only true one?As the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, writes, "The real man being linked by Science to his Maker, mortals need only turn from sin and lose sight of mortal selfhood to find Christ, the real man and his relation to God, and to recognize the divine sonship." n1
n1 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,m p. 316.
To reason from the basis of divine Truth is one way to pray. This prayer progressively and permanently heals fear.We feel God's love and care. We feel increasingly secure and safe. To the degree that we humbly accept God's holy, spiritual ideas and live increasingly purer lives, we are freed from the age-old , deeply ingrained lie that man is separated from God and that there is something in us or in anyone else to be afraid of. True prayer shows how all of us can obey Christ Jesus' command that we love our neighbor as ourselves. n2
n2 See Mark 12:31.
As we pray to God, we are beating our swords of fear into ploughshares of spiritual understanding and brotherly love. Since the world seems able only slowly to awake to its ability to hear such tender angels and to heal fear, we may still need armies. But we will gradually need them less. The present trend in many cases toward talk rather than fight will continue and will expand. If we all live our lives from an increasingly Christly basis, subduing the material concept of man and replacing it with God-impelled vision, the possibility for limited tribal conflicts or for a global holocaust will grow gradually less.
It is possible for people today to glimpse more and more that we are God's dearly loved Children, protected by Him. This increasing understanding will do much for us and for our world. DAILY BIBLE VERSE I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. Make they face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. Psalms 31:14-16

Eric and I have vetoed gifts this Valentine's Day. (Every "Holiday" has been elevated to such bonkers levels of "buy buy BUY!", that I'd rather just opt out.) Just the same, IF someone were to break the No Gifts This Year Rule and bring home a jewel box of Norman Love's shiny confections, I would be secretly delighted. Don't they look like little objets d'art? Has anyone ever tasted one of these chocolates? Are they as delicious as they are beautiful?

I tend to be anti-gifts for holidays as well, meaning that I don't want people to feel obligated to get me something just because it's a holiday and that's what you do for holidays, however, if they saw something that they really thought I would like and gifted it to me, well, that's okay. Like chocolates. I will take the cliche, heart-shaped box of ooey, gooey, yummy chocolates any day of the year!

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Virg Bernero had just revved up a crowd of roughly 50 Democrats in Grand Rapids Friday when he was courted outside to take a few questions from the media.
Rick Albin, veteran political reporter for NBC affiliate WOOD-TV 8 in Grand Rapids, was first to bat, followed by a local radio reporter. I noticed Albin scrambling with some text messages on his phone next to me after he interviewed Bernero. Before it was my turn to approach the candidate, Albin shrewdly moved in to deliver some breaking news. He and Bernero huddled over his cell phone, reading an alert from what turned out to be the campaign of his opponent, Ann Arbor businessman Rick Snyder. Bernero, apparently, didn't want to debate.
After reading the message, Bernero looked up, rolled his eyes, smiled a bit and shook his head.
"It's just not true," a mildly deflated Bernero said. "It is clear they are trying to keep their candidate in a bubble. The public deserves better."
In what can unofficially be called the great debate debacle, Bernero switches from taking a hard line against the Snyder campaign to the grain-of-salt approach. Bernero poses with Dorothy Newman at a campaign stop in Grand Rapids Friday. Newman moved to Grand Rapids from England in 1945 and missed voting in only one election since then, she said.

"Looks like we're going to have to hire a debate duck," he said Friday after reading Albin's text message.
In his speech a few minutes earlier, the debates were Bernero's first topic.
"We got an ultimatum today (from Snyder) with the debates," he told the crowd.
"They have to be in a closet with two people, no TVs and no Internet. I asked him, 'Didn't you used to run a computer company?'" Bernero joked.
Debates or not, this Kent County pocket of Democrats was eager to see Bernero. Friday's crowd at the Kent County Democratic Party Headquarters on Northeast Fuller Street was modest in size but gave excitable and loud responses to Bernero's rap.
"My opponent wants to put manufacturing to bed? In Michigan?" Bernero asked.
"No!" the crowd cheered.
"We're going to roll out the red carpet instead of the red tape," Bernero added. "The politics are the same: Pundits say we are down in the polls and don't have the money. But we Democrats are used to that."
Sitting quietly in her wheelchair as Bernero greeted Democrats after his speech, Dorothy Newman is no rookie when it comes to politics. She moved to the United States from England in 1945 and has missed voting in only one election since then. "Naturally they were all for Democrats," she said wryly.
Newman has been active in women's labor rights in Michigan since moving to Grand Rapids in 1945. The Greater Grand Rapids Women's History Council recognized Newman in 1994 for being "active in labor unions" as well as the Democratic Party. She voted for Bernero in the primary and generally likes his style.
"He's the son of an immigrant, has done well for himself and means what he says," Newman said. "There's so much double-talk nowadays."
Always an optimist, she has not ruled out a Bernero defeat in conservative West Michigan.
"If we all get out and work, we can do it," she smiled. Her tone shifts quickly, and she says seriously: "It is our duty to vote in elections."
Joseph Marckini, president of the Cedar Springs Public Schools Board of Education, was standing nearby during Bernero's speech. He voted for Bernero in the primary because of his ties to public education, specifically early childhood development and K-12 schools (Bernero's wife, Teri, is principal at Wexford Elementary School in Lansing). Bernero also made a good first impression on Marckini a few months back.
"I'd rather have an individual (as governor) who is real and shows himself who he is, not someone who hides," he said.
Cedar Springs is about 20 miles north of Grand Rapids, and Marckini believes support for Bernero grows accordingly with latitude.
"I think he has a lot of support north of Grand Rapids, if not more than in the city," he said.
