Something about her new costume reminds me of Leon Belmont. Nevertheless, it's an interesting design.
Did you try Final Fantasy Dimensions? I hear it has a somewhat classic feel to it (although it is only for Apple devices).
I was directly answering to the main question, "Will this be the Worst-Selling?'
Despite the hate of the series, I think LR: FFXIII will sell a considerate amount of copies.
Simply put, I don't think so. It may scratch over a million worldwide.
The 1st one I played was FFIV, but was too hard for me at the time, so I dropped it.
I think that'd be neat. In turn-based combat, all players control their own character and can choose whether to fight with or without their party.
As others have already stated, the best handheld game would have to be Birth By Sleep or Dream Drop Distance in my opinion.
My god. This...is art! This is an astounding collection.
I'm anxious to see this game in action.
As for expectations, I only wish for a good challenge at any point in time while playing.
FFXII was actually pretty easy to me (minus the Omega Mk. II & Yiazmat fights). XIII Had it's moments near the end that made me want to rage quit, but it got easier once I started using the Paradigm...
Interesting. VERY interesting.
My avatar is Yu Narukami/Izanagi from the Persona series. I'm anticipating their upcoming games Persona 4: The Golden & Shin Megami Tensei 4.
I think the price is pretty fair, but I'll have to pass on it.
Probably an end to Xehanort.
Tobal No. 1. It was an okay fighter, but was outshined by many others.
I just said that it struck a resemblance to MGR as far as taking a on new approach in gameplay (which is supposedly more action-oriented). Like stated above, it may be too early to tell if the game...
For some strange reason, I see a resemblance to MGR with this game. Maybe it's just me.
This is what I got: Lightning may be sporting black attire, the Moon will have a strong influence in the overall story, and one of the minigames for the upcoming title may be a card game.
Hopefully everyone will be pleased at the event. I look forward to the stream (if there is one).
This is fantastic news. Too bad for US Vita-only owners though (including myself http://na.square-enix.com/tools/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif). The library will get better though,...
@zack Somewhat. I'm getting P4G since I never beat P4 on the PS2. I tried P4U and loved it though.
Let me guess....EA? Capcom?
That's good news. It would be nice to actually see the progress they made, but I'll be patient.
http://na.square-enix.com/tools/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif It's sad to lose an active mod (not that the others aren't active too)
Good luck in your senior year! I still have...
I'd like to see/create a general group for each respective series (ex: a Star Ocean general group) & some fanclub groups for specific titles (ex: a Final Fantasy IV fan group). All of these groups...

Good Life
Ask Emily | Cheating boyfriend should be left behind
Dear Emily,
I miss my boyfriend who has, unfortunately, cheated on me three times. I really want to get back with him, but my best girlfriends are telling me that's the wrong decision. What do you think?
Dear Unsure,
Do not get back with him. It is as simple as that, and that honestly is the best answer I can give to you. You deserve and are worth much more than to tolerate a man that has the gumption to step out on you not only once but three times. There are many fish in the sea, and this fish does not deserve your attention any longer. It is time to move on, as hard as it may sound, but you need to do it. I repeat: Do not get back with him. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Dear Emily,
I'm a senior this year at a smaller high school and have been accepted into college already. I have no motivation now to do any of my work anymore. Is this normal and is this OK?
Dear Senior,
Yes, this is very normal, but no, it is not OK. Stay motivated, as hard as it may be in these last crazy sixth months of high school. You should try to still maintain good grades even though you are in high school (Also note that colleges can take away acceptances if you're failing a class or not graduating). Because you are having a hard time doing your work, find a new perspective on it. Challenge yourself. Make it a game. Compete with yourself. A new perspective is always interesting and even eye-opening. Now that you know you are going to college, you are in a comfort zone. Step out of the comfort zone and push yourself to get a new view on things. For example, change up the topic you pick on an English essay. If you always chose sports, chose a topic dealing with animals. Embrace learning, because in sixth months you'll be cramming for tests, writing 16-page research papers and pulling all-nighters to get ready for big finals. Enjoy the simplicity of what high school has brought us and soak up every moment that you have left of it.
Dear Emily,
I really want a pair of Crocs. Navy blue ones, actually. But everyone says they are ugly and hates them. What is your view on them and should I get a pair?
Dear Croc Lover,
It's funny that you ask. ... I have wanted Crocs for so long, but every time it is brought up I get made fun of.
Go buy yourself that pair of navy blue Crocs and wear them proudly. If you do end up getting a pair, please let me know and you'll be my motivation to get myself some as well. I do have to admit that I think they are a pretty big statement and looked down upon in today's generations, but they are very practical and comfortable. Before you know it, you'll start a trend and you'll see that other people are starting to slide into those big clunky rubber shoes soon after you get a pair.

Startups like Metron Systems and Mobile Semiconductor don't have a chorus of promoters raising their profile, but they're creating jobs and fascinating products. This should make for interesting times in the Northwest, where we have lots of capital and talent in software, hardware, services, devices and materials. I'd love to hear your thoughts on where things are headed and whether I'm seeing a trend or blinded by the spring sunshine and a few good pitches at last week's investor forum.

A real lazy river
16 comments
If you have ever been to a waterpark there is always a part that the non thrill seekers like to hang out in or that you use if you just want to take a break but still want to be in the water.
the lazy river
Well, yesterday we did the same thing but not in a waterpark, we got to experience this in an actual river. It is apparently quite a popular activity in Switzerland in Summer and I had heard about it but had never taken part.
I must say this was an amazing experience and one I will repeat for sure. It was mostly organised by another steemian called @ccyril (who is really not active enough on steem)
So to give you some perspective this was the river that we followed and it took us 4 hours. We were 16 people and Graf the dog. So the logistics alone of getting everyone at the right place with all these inflatable devices (boats, rings, sups, etc) was not as easy as one would think, especially because its not a circle you are taking.
So our ingenious organiser came up with this master plan.
He even made a video of it explaining everything but I am going to spare you that today. Even the weather gods were kind to us as it was a nice 35 degrees outside and we hit a bit of summer rain for 20 minutes a little over halfway through.
So here is the whole group at the beginning and then I will leave you with some pictures that were made along the way to give you a nice impression of what we had to "suffer" through this amazing Saturday afternoon.
So after a while the whole group came together and tied all the boats to one another forming some sort of giant raft. I do not think that someone ended up staying in the same place during the whole ride. There were people jumping of, playing a bit of water volleyball, climbing back on, changing places. My SUP was also very popular as there were many attempts at headstands and handstands (some even successful) A successful handstand is longer then 2 seconds so @ccyril is out but Gregory mastered it like a champion.
The only sad thing was that we lost 2 pairs of sunglasses and a pair of swimming goggles along the way. But on the other hand we had fun and really enjoyed our time with some nice background music, a floating picnic and a little not to cold beer (need to figure that one out for next time)
So if you live in Switzerland and have not done this, I can really recommend it...
Are there other Steemians that do similar things in their country? please let me know
I know I had fun.

Engine Won't Turn Over After Transmission Rebuilt
I have a 1964 Grand Prix with a 421 and a roto-hydramatic transmission. I pulled the troublesome slim jim in favor of a TH400 transmission. I have it all bolted together and the first time I tried to start it the bendix got stuck on the ring gear. I have shims and a couple washers between the starter and block for spacers. I removed the starter and tried it by itself and it works.
After removing the spark plugs I tried to rotate the motor with a breaker bar on the crank and it will not budge. This may be why the starter will not start the car. I drove this car into the garage yesterday, so I am sure the motor is not frozen, but it certainly will not turn over.
Any suggestions?
Mike Z
Hey there Mike,
If you are certain the motor is not locked up, I would look carefully at the flywheel, torque converter and the transmission installation to see if something is rubbing or in a bind.
Austin Davis
Hey Austin,
Thanks for the reply and I hope you had a nice vacation. I had a friend of mine helping me and he had installed the torque converter on the tranny, but he failed to completely seat the torque converter, thus causing it to bind up once the transmission was bolted to the engine. We had to remove the transmission and push the torque converter in all the way. Everything is bolted back up now and the car runs and shifts much better then the Slim Jim did.
Thanks for you help.

GENRE: Inspirational Romance (Amish)
For Leah Otto, marrying Jude Shetler is a long-held dream come true. As a young girl, she was captivated by his good looks and talent as an auctioneer. When Jude, now a widower with three children, begins to court her, Leah doesn't hesitate. Other men may not appreciate her tomboy ways, but Jude values Leah's practical nature and her skill with the animals she tends, and both enter the marriage with joy and optimism.
Three months later, Leah feels as if her world is coming down around her. Her twin teenage step-daughters, Alice and Adeline, are pushing boundaries and taking far too many risks, while five-year-old Stevie deeply misses his mother. Leah, more at ease in a barn tending her goats and chickens than in a kitchen, struggles with her housekeeping duties.
Then a baby is abandoned on their doorstep, and Leah must search her soul. Caring for little Betsy fills her with renewed purpose and the strength to begin pulling her family together. With Jude's steadfast support, Leah finds that what she once thought of as a happy ending may be something even better—the beginning of a life rich in love, faith, and unexpected blessings.

Jeremiah Shetler leaned his elbows on his kitchen table, gazing earnestly at his younger brother—who, at thirty-three, was surely old enough to know better about what he was getting into. "Last chance to see reason, Jude," he stated bluntly. "If you go through with this wedding tomorrow, you'll be signing on for a lifetime of sorrow and regret."
Jude's dark eyes flashed with resentment. "Sounds more like my marriage to Frieda—God rest her soul," he added quickly. "Why can't you let me find my happiness with a woman who won't keep secrets? A woman who adores me and makes me laugh?"
"Leah's a nice girl, jah," Jeremiah said with a shake of his head, "but she's clueless about such basic activities as putting a gut meal on the table—"
"Why are you telling me this?" Jude demanded.
Jeremiah exhaled forcefully. He'd never understood what Jude saw in Leah. He could only assume that his widowed brother was so desperate for affection and companionship that he was willing to settle for a woman who'd never progressed beyond being the tomboy daughter Raymond and Lenore Otto hadn't taught much about a wife's responsibilities.
"Have you ever eaten a meal Leah cooked?" he challenged. "Vernon Gingerich has told me that any time he's visited the Otto home, Lenore's been bustling around in the kitchen and Leah's been in the front room chatting with him and her dat. And at our family dinners these past months, Leah's cleaned up the dishes, but I've not seen any signs that she knows how to operate a stove."
"Lenore does the cooking when Vernon visits because he's her bishop, and she enjoys cooking for a man now that Raymond's gone," Jude explained impatiently. He raked his hand through his disheveled dark waves, glancing downward with an anguished sigh. "Come on, man. You know how it is to lose a wife—and you don't even have kids to look after. Doesn't the loneliness—the need for adult conversation—eat you alive at times?"
Jeremiah looked away, his heart pierced by the blatant reminder of Priscilla's absence. After three years of living without her, he did indeed know how the silence of nights alone clawed at a man's heart like a relentless beast. But he needed to pursue his present purpose before Jude made the biggest mistake of his life.

An Approximate Analysis of Expected Cycle Time in Business Process Execution
The accurate prediction of business process performance during its design phase can facilitate the assessment of existing processes and the generation of alternatives. In this paper, an approximation method to estimate the cycle time of a business process is introduced. First, we propose a process execution scheme, with which Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) can control the execution of processes. Second, an approximation method for analyzing its cycle time, based on queueing theory, is presented. We consider agents as queueing servers with multi-class customers and predict the response time of the agents. The cycle time of the whole process is calculated using the expected response time and process structure, taking into account parallel process execution. Finally, the results from the analytical approximation are validated against those of a simulation. This analysis can be used to obtain an optimal process execution plan.

Mortality and Self-Confrontation in Willa Cather's Death Comes For The Archbishop
Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) is a magnificent novel and a classic of American literature – of these facts there is wide consensus. Yet the text invites a particular critical question regarding the dramatic narrative of Bishop Jean Latour. Narrative is driven by conflict, and the typical novelistic paradigm for generating conflict is the pairing of protagonist and antagonist. In literary terms, the protagonist is the "hero" of the text – he is the central figure who faces a conflict and attempts to resolve it. The conflict is usually associated with the antagonist, who opposes the hero, fuels the conflict, and tries to thwart the hero's progress. The indefatigable Father Jean Latour is clearly the protagonist of Death Comes For The Archbishop. The antagonist in this story is rather difficult to discern. I suggest Death Comes for the Archbishop collapses the normal opposition between protagonist with antagonist by making these figures the same person. Fr. Latour occupies both positions; in the novel, his struggle is primarily with himself. The conflation of protagonist and antagonist – hero and opponent – in Cather's novel is best understood through the Christian notion of death as self-confrontation.
Death Comes for the Archbishop as a text is comprised of a "Prologue" and nine distinct "Books" (essentially chapters which are themselves divided into sub-chapters). The "Prologue" does exactly what a prologue should do: it provides information relevant to the novel's story, but is distinct from the story itself. In the "Prologue", set in Europe, we don't meet Fr. Latour. It simply relates how the hierarchy of the Church has arranged for Latour to become the Apostolic Vicar of New Mexico, a territory recently annexed to the United States, and one that would soon be elevated to an important "Episcopal See" (a diocese with its own duly ordained Bishop). The Church figures responsible for this appointment – several cardinals and a missionary bishop - comprise a most believable mixture of apostolic zeal, church politics, ecclesiastical privilege, and caprice. The position is a difficult one; the missionary bishop plainly asserts "[t]hat country will drink up his youth and strength as it does the rain" (9). Yet in the midst of this all too human negotiation between career churchmen, one can detect the workings of grace and Providence. Latour – a man conspicuous for his wisdom, judiciousness, sanctity, and diplomacy – is chosen for the position.
The "Prologue" informs the reader how the protagonist, Fr. Latour, along with his intrepid companion and friend Fr. Joseph Vaillant come to the American southwest. The character Jean Latour is based upon the French priest Jean Baptiste Lamay (1814 – 1888), the first Bishop of Santa Fe; and Joseph Vaillant is based upon Lamay's lifelong friend, the French priest Fr. Joseph Machebeuf, who went on to serve as the first Bishop of Denver (1812 – 1889). The novel itself recounts the long life and journey of Fr. Latour. It chronicles his long and remarkable apostolic labors in building a unified Church in his geographically enormous diocese. Even by 21st century standards, Fr. Latour had a challenging job. His diocese included white Americans, large numbers of Mexicans, and significant pockets of beleaguered native Americans. The hostilities between these diverse populations were intense and often violent. Further, Latour had to address the corruption and waywardness of many of his local clergy, who persisted in their ways due to years of neglect under the Bishop of Durango (Mexico).
As one reads the novel - the remarkable adventures of Fr. Latour and Fr. Vaillant - one naturally expects forces of opposition to emerge. Who, or what, will serve as the antagonist, the force of opposition to the noble and saintly Fr. Latour? A suitable candidate never quite emerges. Rather, one simply finds a narrative gallery of people and places, organized in loosely chronological fashion. This gallery is a reflection of the life and labors of Bishop Latour.
The narrative gallery contains friends, foes, sublime but unforgiving landscapes, personal crises, and joyous victories. Book 1 begins with the Bishop lost in the desert on one of his many diocesan journeys, and he miraculously finds a settlement called Agua Secrata ("Hidden Water"). He is joyously welcomed, refreshed, and entertained by a devout family who had long been without a visit from a priest. The novel is an unbroken chain of such episodes, organized in loosely chronological fashion. For example, it recounts the providential acquisition of a silver bell for the church (no small matter for missionaries in the Southwest), the donation of prize mules for the Bishop and his Vicar from a wealthy Mexican ranchero, and ultimately the construction of a magnificent diocesan cathedral under Latour's supervision.
More even than the sublime accounts of the desert landscapes, it is the diverse personalities with whom Fr. Latour establishes friendships and contends that make Death Comes for the Archbishop so memorable. He encounters the humble and devout Padre Escolastico Herrera, who joyfully shares with his Bishop the account of his pilgrimage to Guadalupe; and Magdalena Valdez, a poor Mexican woman saved from an abusive American husband by the French priests. Latour befriends the historical figure of Kit Carson, a member of the U.S. Military who campaigned against the Navajos; yet he also cultivates deep friendships with Jacinto, his Native American guide, and Eusabio, a wealthy and influential Navajo leader.
With patience, firmness, and wisdom, Bishop Latour disciplines wayward clergymen who resist the authority of their new shepherd, such as Padre Gallegos at Albequerque, the insufferable sensualist Padre Martinez at Taos, and the miserly Padre Lucero of Arroyo Hondo. One of the most humorous and touching episodes of Latour's life deals with the wealthy ranchero Don Antonio Olivares and his American wife Isabella. Upon Don Antonio's death, his brothers contest the rich Antonio's will in order to seize upon his great wealth, robbing both his wife Isabella and daughter Inez of the Don's estate, and denying the Bishop a generous bequest supporting the construction of the cathedral. Book Six, entitled "Dona Isabella", mirthfully recounts the pleadings and coaxings of the French priests, who prevail upon the well preserved Dona to admit her age in court to secure her and her daughter's financial stability. The lovely Isabella can scarcely manage to forgive her Bishop and his Vicar for inflicting upon her such a disgraceful social indignity.
Devoting an entire chapter of the text to the charming and amusing Dona Isabella, a figure for whom Latour has considerable affection, is telling regarding Cather's novelistic strategy. Death Comes for the Archbishop presents no figures, no particular forces, no continuously present villains to stand as clear antagonists opposite the Bishop. To be sure, Latour faces the harshness of the land itself, clergy who reject him, and challenges to his apostolic ministry, but each challenge comes and goes in a fluid stream of episodes. Through his endurance, prayerfulness, and reliance upon grace, Latour prevails over a long and successful reign as Santa Fe's first Bishop, and no particular person or challenge distinguishes itself as the novel's antagonist.
The key to understanding the tension and opposition of Death Comes for the Archbishop resides in the deeply Catholic notion of death as self-confrontation. The antagonist of this novel is the creeping pace of time, Latour's awareness of his own mortality, in a word – death. Latour is both protagonist and antagonist, because in the last it is with himself he must contend. The medieval play Everyman serves as a useful exemplum of this concept. Everyman, the allegorical protagonist, meets Death at the beginning of the play, and it is important to note that Death is God's messenger and servant. God sends Death to Everyman to send him on the last journey of his life – a journey of repentance, which is another way of saying a journey of confronting the truth about himself.
In Book 1, the novel reveals Latour, alone and exhausted in the desert wilderness, kneeling before a cruciform tree. Latour bows before the great Christian symbol of death and redemptive suffering. Like Everyman (and every man), Latour's journey is inevitably toward the moment of his divine reckoning. The symbolic act of kneeling before the Cross at the threshold of the novel gives us an interpretive key: Latour will not primarily struggle with the harshness of the land or with men who oppose his ministry – he will struggle with his mortality, his loneliness, and his earthly attachments. Charming as the gallery of episodes and personalities is comprising the body of Death Comes for the Archbishop, it is the final two Books which illuminate the real nature of Latour's struggles. Book Eight is perhaps the most painful sequence of the novel. Bishop Latour profoundly struggles with the request to send a capable priest far away to Colorado to serve the faithful there. Latour knows Fr. Joseph is the clear choice, but struggles greatly to send his pillar of comfort away, perhaps for good. Latour had given up nearly everything for the Church – his homeland (France), his family, his language, his culture – and at last he releases his last earthly attachment, his dearest friend, his other self. Book Eight ends with the deeply moving lines of their departure: "They embraced each other for the past – for the future" (260).
Book Nine, appropriately entitled "Death Comes for the Archbishop", relates the retirement and final days of Bishop Latour. He outlives all of his old friends – Carson, Dona Isabella, even his beloved Joseph Vaillant – and realizes the completion of his cathedral. In the text, the Bishop's final confrontation with death is a confrontation with memory, with himself. Not only does he think of his struggles in the New World, but he remembers especially the days of his early priesthood with Fr. Joseph. He recalls the crisis, particularly acute for Joseph, of struggling with the desire to accept the missionary vocation. It was hard for them both, especially for Joseph (who feared he would break his father's heart by leaving France). As Latour's poignant and vivid recollections reveal, they hardly could have persevered in their vocation and endured the difficult years of ministry without each other.
The quotes below highlight the centrality of memory and self-confrontation for Bishop Latour as he approaches death.
During the last weeks of the Bishop's life he thought very little about death; it was the past he was leaving. The future would take care of itself. (287)
[Latour] observed... there was no longer any perspective in his memories... He was soon to have done with calendared time, and it had already ceased to count for him. He sat in the middle of his own consciousness; none of his former states of mind were lost or outgrown. They were all within reach of his hand, and all comprehensible. (288)
When the occasion warranted he could return to the present. But there was not much present left; Father Joseph dead, the Olivares both dead, Kit Carson dead, only the minor characters of his life remained in time. (289)
For Latour, death was neither a bogeyman nor an existential dread. The immanence of death meant for Latour what it meant for Everyman (and every human being): self-confrontation. Memory is the cavernous echo chamber of individual experience, and in this great hall Latour encountered himself – past landscapes, loves, joys, losses, each as it urged itself upon him unbidden and without chronological sequence. The coming of Death is where the protagonist Latour confronts the only forces that can ever truly oppose a human person: one's own mortality, limitation, creaturehood, fallibility, and the inevitable losses accompanying the common human condition.
Yet for the Christian, coming to terms with the self as limited and mortal is no exercise in futility, rage, or Stoic resignation. It is the opportunity for grace, for the full revelation that all is gift, that every moment of existence is a token of love from the Lord, the same Lord Latour faithfully served his entire life. If the reader presumes a Christian world view, the profound sense of tranquility the Bishop experiences in his final days is highly believable psychologically, and thus good literary realism. Further, Latour's abiding sense of peace in his final hour is the fruit of a lifetime of cultivating virtues – natural and supernatural – which lead to genuine sanctification. As a novelist, Cather succeeds in creating a sympathetically human figure in Jean Latour, but one the reader also can believe is truly a saint.
Latour's moment of death is a moment of accepting that his journey has been one of grace. The great contest, the great opposition of his life, was to love the friends and the flocks that God had given him over the years, and live long enough to lose them all to the passage of time. Latour prevails when Death comes to meet him. He contends with his losses, his melancholy, his loneliness, and receives the gift of seeing the journey of his life as pure grace, the gift of a loving God.
This notion of the self as its own antagonist, which the consciousness of death heightens as nothing else can, is wonderfully articulated by Raissa Maritain in her remarkable autobiography, We Have Been Friends Together. Speaking of writing her autobiography, she reflects upon the struggle and confrontation of giving way to memory:
It is a strange experience to trust one's memory; its hold on us is stronger than our hold on it; it carries us into its own world which is the very reality of the movement of our past, and we must obey it whether we will or no, must retrace those paths of time which are henceforth not only irrevocably fixed, but in which all things are so bound together that any particular moment conjures up all the past that has gone before it... Our friends are part of our life, and our life explains our friendships. (p.2)
Bishop Latour's hour of death is just such a giving way – he obeys his memory and re-encounters the sufferings, sacrifices, and joys of his life and vocation. He encounters those he loved and all he was forced to renounce for his vocation, and at last found himself naked before his Creator. Such nakedness is a grace, and Death Comes for the Archbishop reveals that the agony of self-confrontation through memory can open wide the doors of grace. For Jean Latour, it bestowed upon him what every Christian hopes for – a holy death.

The Best Home Improvement Tips On The Web
There is a lot more to home improvement than just laying new carpet. It will take a lot of research to get your home to look like you have always dreamed. Your home improvement projects will greatly benefit from the advice that is listed below. You will create the home you have always dreamed of at a fraction of the cost.
Apply striping to the walls prior to doing a paneling installation. No matter how careful you are when installing paneling, the old wall still peeks through. To make this less noticeable, measure off the areas in which the panels will join before your do the installation. Match the paint to the paneling color.
Don't forget about the area outside your house. Your backyard can be an attractive, cozy addition to your living space. It's the ideal spot for grilling steaks or even just enjoying some fresh air and relaxation after work.
Don't throw out your small baby food jars; instead, use them to organize your workspace. You can use screws or super glue to attach these jars underneath a shelf. Put little things in jars like nails, screws, or beads. Replace the jar by twisting it back under the shelf. This is great to reuse and store items.
Add some personality like a nice bold print if you think your room doesn't have personality. Animal prints are a good choice as well. Leopard print pillows or zebra striped cushions are a good choice, as are posters and wall art.
A floor lamp can be a great addition to the room and free up valuable space on a nightstand or dresser. Floor lamps are free standing and can be moved around, while table lamps take up quite a bit of table space. Pick a lamp that has a good design that you could appreciate.
Home improvement is an art that could be enjoyed by all. If you are new to it, take your time; eventually you will pick up speed and become more skilled. You can create accomplishments to be proud of by paying close attention to details.

W.J. Deutsch Signs 5 Year Distribution Agreements with Glazer's
New York, NY (Vocus) October 22, 2010
W.J. Deutsch & Sons, Ltd. (Deutsch) - a leading importer and marketer of award-winning wines and spirits from around the world - announce the signing of five year distribution agreements with Glazer's Distributors (Glazer's), granting Glazer's the exclusive rights to sell Deutsch's award-winning portfolio of wine and spirits in Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas. These agreements bring Deutsch's long standing relationship with Glazer's to a new level of partnership, further energizing both companies commitment and investment behind Deutsch's growing portfolio of category leading brands, including the number one wine brand in the U.S., [yellow tail].
The agreements focus on five-year depletion and distribution goals set for the Deutsch's brands, and new investment, structure and resources that will be put in place to enable both companies to reach them. Key elements include:
Increased resource investment into Deutsch's brands to drive national consumer awareness
Increased investment to drive awareness and sales in individual markets.

We enthusiastically supported Bennett's recent decision to appoint Sheldon 'Shelly' Stein to lead Glazer's into their next growth phase."
"Peter and I have forged an excellent relationship and we were able quickly to come to terms on this break-through agreement that will help both companies benefit from the accelerated growth of the Deutsch wine and spirits brands," said Shelly Stein, Glazer's Distributors President & CEO.

In what is an incredibly competitive market, the SQE is being introduced in an attempt to standardise the way that professionals are entering the industry.
Many legal professionals will agree that the legal industry is extremely competitive in terms of the recruitment market and standards are becoming increasingly more stringent. One way the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is looking to level the playing field is by introducing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). After much deliberation and controversy regarding this new examination, it will be formally introduced in 2020.
The SRA have appointed Kaplan Law School as the assessor and adjudicator for the SQE. They are already providers of the Qualified Lawyer Transfer Scheme (QLTS) for overseas qualified lawyers seeking to practice in the UK. Together, the SRA and Kaplan will work to finalise the curriculum and structure of this new course.
The SRA have provided a rough idea of how candidates are expected to qualify as a solicitor - a two stage test will be designed to test knowledge and practical skills. The first stage will cover six key areas of legal knowledge and the second will include in-depth practical sessions, covering topics such as client interviews and legal drafting. Candidates will have to pass both stages to qualify as a solicitor; they must also have a degree or equivalent and two years of relevant legal experience.
The SQE poses many concerns within the legal sector. In The Lawyer, the belief is that the exam "will radically transform the legal educational landscape", reforming and liberating legal training. This new exam means many paralegals and legal consultants can qualify as solicitors without securing training contracts. Imagine the effect this could have on the market: currently there are already more prospective solicitors than training contracts available.
Are we exasperating this issue? Will we have enough opportunities for the newly qualified solicitors?
Richard Moorhead (Chair of Law & Professional Ethics at UCL) doesn't favour the SQE. At the Future of Legal Education and Training Conference he expressed that no one can say with complete certainty what the effects of the SQE will be and he sensibly suggested that there should be a slow transition into the new qualifying system. At the same conference, Maeve Lavelle (Director of Education & Community Programmes at Neota Logic) favoured the SQE; her belief is that the new exam will help to diversify the legal market.
This diversification was initially the main aim of the new exam: by removing the training contracts provided by the law firms, a new universal way for everyone to qualify is created.
The SRA Chief Executive, Paul Philip, reiterates the view that the SQE will increase the standard of legal professionals, as well as promoting diversity. He states, "We all need to be able to trust that those who enter the profession are fit to practise. The current system cannot provide that confidence. The new SQE will provide assurance that all those who qualify, regardless of pathway or background, meet the consistent high standards we set on behalf of the public."
The change will also benefit legal recruiters as it will increase the quality of talent and create flexibility when trying to tailor candidates to business needs.
Although there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the introduction of the SQE, there is little to no doubt that the 'super-exam' will affect the legal market. However, it cannot be said whether this effect will be positive or negative. It will be interesting to see how the newly qualified solicitors succeed in this new legal market.

I've used 3 different dremel tools over the last 10 years. The first 2 were cordless variable speed models. The problem was the batteries or the charger would go out after a while.
I now use the corded Dremel Multipro 395 (variable speed). I would recommend this model to anyone, it works great and you don't need to worry about your battery going dead. I also use the 1/2" coarse sanding drum.
I wish you the best of luck!!

Formulating a sound business strategy is a difficult undertaking at times. Starting up your own business, marketing and selling products require a ton of work and ongoing capital investments. For this reason, many people turn to forex trading to bring in additional income. Read this article to find out how to make a lot of profits.
It is important that you learn everything you can about the currency pair you select to begin with. Learning about different pairings and how they tend to interact takes quite some time. Understand how stable a particular currency pair is. When starting out in Foreign Exchange you should try to keep things as simple as possible.
Leave stop loss points alone. If you try to move them around right about the time they would be triggered, you will end up with a greater loss. You'll be more successful if you stay committed to your plan.
You may think the solution is to use Forex robots, but experience shows this can have bad results. There is not much benefit to the buyers, even though sellers profit handsomely. Think about the trade you are going to make and decide where to place your money.
Limiting risk through equity stops is essential in forex. The equity stop order protects the trader by halting all trading activity once an investment falls to a certain point.
If managed forex accounts are your preferred choice, make sure you exercise caution by investigating the various brokers before you decide on a company. A good rule of thumb is that you should choose a broker who consistently beats the market. Also, they should have a five-year track record or better.
Don't involve yourself in a large number of markets if you are a beginner. This will only overwhelm you and possibly cause confused frustration. Rather, focus on the main currency pairs. This will increase the chance you achieve success and you will feel better.
You are not required to buy any software or spend any money to open a demo forex account and start practice-trading. You can go to the central foreign exchange site and get an account.
Many people consider currency from Canada as a low risk in Foreign Exchange trading. Dealing with overseas currencies not so close to him can be tedious at times, because keeping up with current foreign news from that country is not so easy. The Canadian dollar's price activity usually follows the same market trends as the United S. dollar, meaning that you would be wise to invest in it.
In order to find success with Forex trading, it may be a good idea to start out as a small trader. Spend a year dealing only with a mini account. This is one of the simplest ways to gain experience and develop a sense of what constitutes a good trade and what constitutes a bad trade.
Start learning to analyze markets, and make your own decisions. Success in Foreign Exchange trading requires the ability to make your own decisions, based on a thorough knowledge of the market.
The reverse way is the best way. Utilizing a strategy will help you to avoid making decisions based on emotions.
Research advice you are given when it comes to Foreign Exchange. What may work for one trader may not work for you, and it may cost you a lot of money. You will need to develop a sense for when technical changes are occurring and make your next move based off of your circumstances.
Now, you need to understand that trading with Forex is going to require a lot of effort on your part. Just because you're not selling something per se doesn't mean you get an easy ride. Just remember to focus on the tips you've learned above, and apply them wherever necessary in order to succeed.

I've blogged before about the importance of the OSCE/ODIHR electoral observer mission for the Ukrainian presidential elections on 17 January and 7 February and how all the parties in Ukraine can use OSCE/ODIHR to help minimise the risk of electoral fraud. Here's a recent interview I did for the BBC's excellent Ukrainian Service on the subject. I also talk a bit about Crimea, why it's different from Georgia, and how to lessen any risk of conflict down there. The interview is in English with Ukrainian subtitles.

"Groping Toward Whatever or How I Learned to Retire [Sort Of]," Susan Trausch (Free Street Press, 192 pages, $15.95)
"Groping Toward Whatever or How I Learned to Retire [Sort Of]," Susan Trausch (Free Street Press, 192 pages, $15.95)
If retirement is on your "to-do" list for 2011, take a few days to read Susan Trausch's new memoir about her decision to retire from The Boston Globe after 32 years and her painfully timid first steps into voluntary joblessness. Trausch left the Globe via a corporate buyout and knows she's lucky to have received that parachute. Still, she had refused previous buyouts and so she had thought more about the envelope with the offer in it than she had about what would come next: cleaning out her office, saying good-bye, leaving the parking lot and heading into ... That was her problem: she didn't know what should or would come next. Dealing with that quandary, too? You'll likely learn a great deal from Trausch's five-year quest to build a new identity. Maybe there's a book in your future.
The commentator fired by National Public Radio in October for his remarks about Muslims has a deal to write two books. Crown Publishers announced the first book by Juan Williams will "focus on free speech and the growing difficulty in America of speaking out on sensitive topics." Williams was let go by NPR after saying on the Fox News Channel he gets nervous when he sees on a plane people with clothing that identifies them as Muslim. NPR said his remarks violated its standards of not having on-air personnel giving opinions. Williams said he was hurt by the suggestion he's a bigot. Williams' first book is due this summer. It's currently untitled.
The new year is coming right up, and these two books might give you ideas about changes you can make in your life.
"Dog Walks Man: A Six-Legged Odyssey" (Globe-Pequot) by John Zeaman is the memoir of a man who discovers that the chore of dog-walking can turn into a rediscovery of nature and the self. "365 Thanks Yous: The Year a Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed My Life" (Hyperion) by John Kralik recounts how the author's life was at a low point until he received a gracious thank-you note and decided to write one every day himself with surprising effects on his life and the lives of others.

Established in1975, Kellyville Preschool is situated at the centre of the Kellyville community.
It is proudly a community based not-for-profit preschool. Formed by a dedicated group of parents and community members, this preschool signifies the value placed on nurturing and educating our children, while bringing families and the community together.
We are committed to maintaining and continuing their vision and are inspired by the relationship which still flourishes between the parents, staff and the community of Kellyville that has been so much a part of our success.
Our Mission Statement
?Providing a strong foundation for all aspects of the developing child through a safe, caring and stimulating learning environment. We recognise the individual child?s needs, including their health and wellbeing, encourage independence and instil respect for others whilst always having fun.?
"I am sending my children to Kellyville Preschool because it offers such a great program. Children can learn and develop in a stimulating environment and an amazing out door setting. The staff are warm and have a passion for providing the best care possible. I also love being able to help and work with teh preschool to ensure my child gets the most out of his/her year at preschool."
Lauren Allen 2016
"Firstly I would like to say that we are truly blessed to have found a preschool with such a wonderful staff who genuninely care about each child as an individual. The main reason for picking KP was due the culture of learning through play as I firmly believe play develops children's content knowledge and provides them the opportunity to develop social skills, competences and dispostion to learn. The second reason was due to healthy eating program and encouragement from staff to avoid junk food."

"Kellyville Preschool is a wonderful preschool with caring, compassionate and engaging staff who really get to know each family member, not just the child attending the preschool. This kind and friendly attitude extends to the children and helps foster a love of learning from an early age. It is so lovely as a parent to watch your child blossom and grow into a confident and independant little person. I have watched my kids develop at their own pace, pursue their own interests and have their ideas heard. The preschool caters for each individual child's needs and this makes it a very personal experience for each family. I am so happy that we chose Kellyville Preschool and I believe that my children have the best possible start to their education as a result."

Social media gadfly, LGBT rights icon, and Star Trek actor George Takei is usually very funny, employing his sense of humor as ballast no matter how grave the issue. But Takei hasn't been in a jovial mood since the election, telling CNN that "for a good number of days, I could not see things with an even balance." Thing is, it hasn't gotten any better for Takei as he sees the Trump administration take shape. Like many, Takei's concerns are wide-ranging — from the environment to freedom of speech, Takei sees numerous things Americans take for granted being potentially imperiled.
But it's Takei's personal history that causes him the most concern. Despite the fact that his parents were both born in the United States, his family was forced into a prison camp in Arkansas after the bombing of Pearl Harbor 75 years ago — because of their Japanese descent. They were classified as the enemy, something Takei is worried could happen to today's Muslim citizens — after all the President-elect has proposed keeping a data of Muslims in the US.

Peers and Mentors/
A few months ago, the Center for Teaching and Learning, where I worked at LaGuardia, organized a summer institute, a series of meetings that involved ePortfolio leaders from across the country. The main goal was to highlight the emergent ePortfolio pedagogy within the classroom as a pivotal tool in the current higher education system. Part of this philosophy is to acknowledge the ePortfolio—a website that students build where they post their work while in college—as a catalyst for student learning. An opportunity to use an ePortfolio is an opportunity to deepen student reflection.
The practice of ePortfolio is highly effective from a faculty perspective but also from a peer mentor's standpoint. A colleague of mine and I presented in one of the sessions explaining how our roles as peer mentors enhance the effectiveness in using ePortfolios in the classroom.
First, some background. I currently work as an ePortfolio consultant. Working in the classroom with students, I'm able to share with them my experience as a recent college graduate and as a current graduate student. Using ePortfolio as a student at LaGuardia helped map out my educational journey and better clarify my transfer options; thus, I pass that on to students.
One of the most interesting questions we were asked was: what's different from your relationship with students in using ePortfolios from a faculty perspective? Our response was shaped around our proximity with students, not a physical proximity per se, but rather proximity in experiences. When a professor is lecturing a class, it is most of the time likely that not all students will raise their hands to ask a question, there is always a few in the corner who may just not speak up at all. When working in small groups though, students are given the chance to experience a more intimate setting and therefore more likely to speak up and ask questions. In that sense, the time we peer mentors spend with students is similar to a small group work because of that level of proximity we have with them. Besides, students share their own experience and find more familiarity with the mentor as someone who is currently going through the same processes or has just gone through them..
Here I'm sharing the presentation we prepared for the session, too. It will give you an idea of what we do and how important our role is. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.
I am an ePortfolio instructor working in New York City. I am also a student in the MA program in educational psychology at Hunter College. In my current position, I instruct students how to develop and build their ePortfolio to showcase their academic skills. I also collaborate in professional development seminars with faculty members from various departments on building the curriculum to teach the first year seminar experience. Read more about me.

I've missed you. I've missed this page. Missed sitting down with the intention to write. Missed thinking about what I wanted to write about and choosing the right words. I've missed you, the readers. Even though we haven't had much interaction, every time I sit down to write a blog post, I think about you; about the people who are ultimately going to read this. I realize that you will not resonate with every post. I do, however, want to give you something meaningful, something you can relate to, learn from, think about, something that will stay with you, as least a good portion of the times that you take the time to read one of my posts.
Since the middle of September do-over.me and I have been on a spinning carousel. Oh it's been fun and I've met a lot of fun and interesting people and had a lot of fun and interesting experiences. I've learned and I have grown.
For a while it's was non-stop. I didn't have time to even think about all that was happening. Things are slowing down now to a more normal pace; busy but manageable. I've finally found time to process all that has happened.
do-over.me is growing. Many of the dreams I had about where we were going and how we would get there and how lives would be impacted by our work are coming true. It's exciting and very gratifying. It's also a lot of work.
We have been on the radio, presented at a downtown venue in front of a large audience, hired one senior and two junior volunteer administrative assistants, added a second night of IMPROV classes with a new teacher and been honored by a local foundation as a Community Champion all while continuing to offer programming and individual support to people in transition.
I am learning how to let others "run with my baby." It's not always easy, but that's the only way that do-over.me can grow and impact even more lives.
If you think the first 18 months have been a whirlwind, watch us now! do-over.me is really a team now! Things are really starting to happen!!!

Halloween Month is upon us...are you ready to "scare" up a little spooky fun, this October? If so, this blog post is for you!
Halloween has always been a favorite for myself, my wife and our kids. By day, we are a Realtor and Fine Arts Teacher...but we do both have a gothic side that gets unleashed from time to time (usually date nights) and October is our month to let loose! It's a tradition of mine to visit at least one new local haunted house every year and drag my wife along with me, so that I can live vicariously through her reactions! It takes a lot to scare me...my wife, on the other hand, requires quite a bit less effort. So I go in playing the role of noble protector, ushering her safely through the maze to live another year. If you manage to scare me in the process, even just a little, then you've created a successful haunted house!
Denver boasts two of the nation's top-rated haunted house attractions every year, in The 13th Floor and Asylum...and while they get the lion's share of the attention, there are a ton of other great ones to choose from, as well! I will attempt to keep this list as comprehensive as I can, throughout the month of October...so if you are aware of one that isn't listed here, please let me know and I will add it. If you attend any of these haunted attractions, don't forget to use the feedback form at the bottom of the page, to offer up a review!
Among the best haunted houses in the nation, The 13th Floor has reached legendary status and is a must-visit. The location has three different and totally unique haunted attractions, as well as mini-escape room games (they last only five minutes) where attendees must use clues and solve riddles to escape!
The Cañon City recreation district puts on a haunted house that has been rated one of the top haunts in Colorado for the past three years, by several websites. The event is a fundraiser for the Cañon City Recreation District. Keep an eye out for terror around every turn...because they have already been watching you!
Routinely listed among the best haunted houses not just in Denver, but nationwide...the Asylum is full of deranged mental patients who are relatively harmless, when compared to the nightmarish reality they live in. Explore the grounds but be warned: Stay within the boundaries of the facility, or you may find yourself among the twisted and delusional patients that inhabit this terrifying Asylum!
In the same location as Asylum, visitors will travel through a lost City of the Dead, whose inhabitants have succumbed to the zombie plague. Make your way through the streets as you encounter hordes of the living dead. Can you survive? Or will you join the residents as one of the shambling undead?
By day, Jack Lantern's Corn Maze is a family-friendly celebration of the fall harvest, boasting two pumpkin patches, bounce houses, farm animals and trick or treating for the kids. However...when darkness finally engulfs Northern Colorado, the ghosts, ghouls, zombies and other terrifying creatures emerge from the shadows of this 20-acre corn maze!
It's exactly what it sounds like...this haunted experience starts in the middle of the Savage Woods at the base of Devil's Backbone. With no guide to rescue them, guests will need to find their way through a myriad of terrifying encounters and escape the creatures who stalk them throughout the night!
Two top-rated haunted houses in one location. Deep in the bowels of a 100 year-old Catholic monastery, Dark Side of the Abbey and Dark Side Of The Abbey Unplugged will scare and entertain your entire group!
Three unique haunt zones spread across hundreds of acres of farm property, there is something for everyone at this location. Explore the corn maze in the dead of night (don't worry, it's not haunted), or venture into the part of the cornfield that is known to be haunted by a long-forgotten, dark spirit known as "The Krow." Or, if you prefer, pull up a hay bale and sit down to watch one of four different horror films, a different one playing each week!
During the Family by Day portion of Fright Fest, kids can relay, hop and jump their way to victory at Halloween-themed interactive challenges during Ghouls Match. It's also totally okay for kids to hoot and holler at the Scream It Out competition, when the most earsplitting shriek results in the title of Scream King or Queen. Family by Day wraps up with a costume contest on the KiddieLand Stage at 4:30 p.m. After that, Elitch Gardens transforms into Fright by Night when the sun goes down and shrills and chills take over! Scare-seekers should head straight for the three haunted experiences - No Vacancy, Big Top Freaks and Séance - that thrust guests into the action during blood-curdling live performances that launch at 5 or 6 p.m. and run throughout the night!
Chipper's Lanes has created a 3,000 square foot, two story haunted house that will have you quaking in your boots, before you ever step inside!
This is one of the few kid-friendly options for a haunted experience in Colorado. Each year, the production sets up in a forested area within the upper foothills, creating a lit, walkable path that will take visitors on a haunted hike through the wilderness...and the path changes every weekend!
This was the first haunted house in the Denver area and is now world-famous! The haunt's founder, Brad holder, built the house over a span of 16 years...until he became fatally ill and (according to rumors) was buried on the grounds! After years of experience and fine-tuning, this has become one of the top-rated haunts in Colorado and its three attractions are definitely not for the feint of heart! Get the kids a babysitter, for this one...
A fundraiser for the Harrington Arts Alliance (a 501c3 non-profit), this is Loveland's only indoor haunted house. Their new location this year is The Odd Fellows - Majestic Gatherings Place, a 110 year-old, 6,000 square foot building that was home to the Loveland Opera House.
In the corn fields in northeast Thornton, among four unique haunts in one location, lurks the true embodiment of terror! For 2018, every experience at this 30-acre corn maze is completely new...so if you've been in previous years, it's time to check this one out again! Experience Condemned, Dead Man's Maze, Carnevil and Zombie Paintball Massacre!
At the site of the former Sinister haunted house, builders uncovered a large cavern and series of mining tunnels. Deep within these tunnels lay buried an array of mysteries and secrets that only the bravest of souls may witness...but will you survive, so that you can tell others of what you found, within its depths?
Nearly one mile of sheer terror...no matter how frightened you are, stay on the trail! Evil lurks beyond the boundaries of your walking path and is always waiting for that one stray lamb to wander from safety, into the darkness.
One of the top haunted houses in the nation, having gained the attention of national newsmedia and named scariest and best in Colorado in numerous local publications, over the years. Created by visual effects veterans of the film and television industry, the production values are exceptionally high...and when you're done with the haunt, play Zombie Laser Tag or experience an escape room!
What began as a simple haunted house in a family home, quickly evolved into a full-scale haunted house next to the Greeley Mall, two years ago. Their new location this year now offers an entirely new dimension in terror! Each room is inspired by your worst nightmares and will unnerve even the bravest visitor.
There is something dark lurking in the woods and cornfields at Flat Acres Farm. Three attractions are featured on the property! Reaper's Hollow is a terrifying 20-30 minute trek through the haunted field. Dead End Motel lures frightened attendees with the promise of safety...a promise that is quickly proven false. New this year is Goblin's Grove, a one mile trek through a Goblin-infested forest. Can you survive?
Making its triumphant return, after a three year hiatus! This is a 50 year family tradition and the grand re-opening promises to offer thrill-seekers an even better experience than ever before...visitors will enjoy a free concert and there will be food trucks and vendors on-hand, as well! They even offer a "lights on" tour for children to experience!
Just to the south of Greeley in La Salle, the Fritzler Farm Park is all about fun for the whole family...but when the moon rises, the once kid-friendly farm and corn maze will strike fear into the hearts of the bravest adventurers. Then visit the Ghost Haunt and escape an abandoned ghost town, full of horrifying special effects. Finally, survive the zombie apocalypse at Zombie Paintball Slayer, from the safety of a converted zombie-hunting school bus!
In the same location as the Haunted Mines attraction. The Inneas House, a boarding home for "The Hurt, Helpless, and Homeless" (as their famous hand scrawled sign indicates) and a medical facility only known as "The Sanitarium" (supposedly aimed at the mental and physical recovery of their patients) make up the complex commonly referred to as "Sinister".
Anderson Farms is a well-known destination for children and families to explore; but when night falls, the farm animals disappear and the screams begin! Terror in the Corn is a three part haunt, starting with a hayride through the cornfield. When guests are left stranded in the middle of the field, they must find a way to the haunted ghost town nearby and make their escape!
Now co-located with The 13th Floor attraction...this is one of Denver's newest haunted houses. Built to scale as an interactive and immersive experience, steel your nerves against swarms of zombies and the shambling undead as they surround your place of refuge, forcing you to seek shelter in various other buildings as you attempt to survive a zombie apocalypse!
A bold claim, to name your haunt "The World's Scariest Haunted House," but it's certainly intriguing to afficianados of the art form! In 2016, it was rated the top haunt in the Denver metro area by Spooky Colorado. You be the judge!
Type anything you want here and we will see what we can find in the property descriptions. Maybe a name of a golf course you want to live by or a term like fixer upper.

China : CCIC North America certification suspended for one month as of 4 May 2018
BIR was informed this morning of an official CCIC North America notice where CCIC North America informs that they have temporarily stopped processing applications and issuing of certificates for pre-shipment inspection on scrap materials exported from USA to China, and this for a one-month period ending 4 June 2018, inclusive. The Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) system is also temporarily closed.
Certificates issued by CCIC North America prior to 3 May 2018 incl. can still be used for port declaration, but will be subjected to 100% inspections.
In the document, CCIC North America furthermore states: "Suspected thermosetting plastic, metal scrap containing powdery substances, special papers that are hard to identify, and anything that are suspected to be hazardous will be sent to a laboratory to complete a test analysis."
BIR is currently checking other official Chinese Customs documents and will revert to you with further information about this situation, which is set to heavily impact the entire US scrap industry at first, but will likely put the entire market under additional stress.


text: Sales & Marketing Strategy By BlogAdmin Guerrilla Marketing and Patience So, you've done your research, created a great Guerrilla Marketing plan, carefully selected your weapons and launched your campaign. Your website, mailings, telemarketing, trade show booth, advertising, publicity, sales presentations and so-on, are cohesive and consistent. At this point, what is the element that will play a big role in your success or failure? Your patience.Impatience on behalf of the business owner (or agency), more than any other reason, will cause an extraordinary Guerrilla Marketing effort to fail. Which marketing weapon gets the credit for moving the prospect from off the fence and onto your customer list? It's your patience (Weapon #189) that wins the laurels for the profits generated by your marketing.It takes a unique person to stay the course while efforts may fail to hit home. It takes remarkable talent to remain with the marketing program when instant results are not produced. Great Guerrilla marketing people know there is no challenge they cannot surmount. They have more patience than their competition. Their behavior is demonstrated in both their restraint from making changes in their marketing programs and their willingness to continue executing a marketing strategy even in the absence of quick financial strokes.You pick a niche and aim for it, marketing over and over. Eventually, the niche is occupied and dominated, the marketing goals attained. It didn't take genius as much as it took steadfastness.Your life will be filled with frustration and anxiety if you expect your Guerrilla marketing, brilliant or otherwise, to produce superb results instantly. But if you give your program the time to penetrate minds and motivate behavior, to persuade and create desire, you will discover that marketing does indeed work and that patience is the age-old secret of success.Guerrilla marketers are positive that they will not fail and they can do the job they set out to do if they concentrate upon the results down the road rather than the current state facing them.Many small businesses are run by people who intently focus only on right now. Guerrillas understand that now is insignificant compared with what they will hew with their patience. This farsighted approach illuminates the way to their goal and they appreciate the journey to their goal. This is the mindset of the Guerrilla.Success comes to those who market if they; begin with a plan, continue breathing life into that plan, continue to test and research and if they have the patience to move beyond the need for instant results. Want To Learn More About Guerrilla Marketing?From strategies to tactics, we'll introduce you to valuable ways to learn more."At the outset, you won't have any way of knowing whether your plan is good or bad, except for low-cost testing, your own intuition, and counsel of others in whom you believe. But once you believe in your plan, you've got to back your belief with patience. Patience is commitment."Excerpted from – Guerrilla Marketing / (Kindle)
