Me too. High school, I mean. But I'm tyring to get a lifeguard job this summer. Which I don't know how that's going to turn out since the working age has been moved to 18, in some places here, or so I've heard. But darn it, I need a job and do not want to get a working permit! Such limits…

- These gathering hosts of loyal junkies, under the command of the great SCOTT
I am an illustrator and graphic designer, I've been doing it for a decade. it started as a hobby, and ended up as my career. I have worked as a head designer of local magazines, illustrating school books, done book covers and interiors, logos, advertisement, posters. That is one of the reasons I believe I got into Scott's (Overlord Sigler) work; graphic design requires long hours sitting, and it was perfect to be able to listen to podcasts.
All day, they tell me what they want to know, I find it, I will either put it into a "dialer job" or pivot out the needed numbers and send it on up the line. I just do what they tell me to. I listen to podio books all day while I'm working, unless I'm hungover like this morning, and stay home.
My work lags behind cause I'm always refreshing looking for the new episode… When it finally comes, I find a dark corner to hide in while I get my fix, gets me yelled at…. I'm a mess!
This missive brought to you by SynapticJam – hhhmmm… tastes like chicken
Network guy… Official title is Sr. LAN Admin or some such crap… it's supposed to mean that I take care of all the microsoft servers, email, applications boxes, stuff like that. But I'm also our second WAN guy doing routers, firewalls, Internet Access… all that crap.
For those who know what I mean, our web site pushed 30Mb out to the internet the other day, it was huge…
This missive brought to you by SynapticJam – hhhmmm… tastes like chicken

and Database Administrator for a little Fortune 10 company. Let's just say that we deliver thins from point A to Point B, and we have one of the largest airfleets in the world.
Chances are, you have bought products we deliver to stores.
And since I am being sent across country to speak about Data Architecture, I am working on taking over the world before Sigler.
On a clear disk, you can seek forever.

i do battle with angry hordes of insects that try to dominate our planet. ok, i 'm an exterminator but it pays the bills and allows me alot of fix time in my truck, that is listening to the evil genius while driving to my jobs
I'm an engineer (hence you'll note the poor spelling and writing skills in all my posts) and my current job is to make big press machines that then make Air Conditioners around the world. (So I think I could help with world take over in July).
Yeah I pay for my habit. In fact with podio books I usually have the policy to wait until the end of the book before buying. But the great overload is one of the few authors I'll pay up front.

That's right, I mold the minds of America's youth. Into the image of Scott Sigler, of course.
Howdy folks,
I'm a Utility Technician for a small market television station up here in the great, white North of Maine. I'm one part "monkey-in-the-back-room-pushing-important-buttons-to-make-the-station-go" and one part "tech-guy-who-fixes-equipment-to-make-station-go".
Been doing this in Maine for the last 13 years now. I really dig my job.
Thanks for asking.
I am a masterpiece of self destruction
Hey Sigler,
I do research on people as a full-time university gig (look me up if you need any tips for your University types). I'm technically a bio-psycho-social research specialist, but that doesn't look good on the business card.
I also play bass for my band 'National Beekeepers Society' (www.myspace.com/nationalbeekeeperssociety). Another good gig without the benefits of good money…
I am a head seamstress for a high end vintage reproduction lingerie factory. Most of my work is so over learned I don't think about anything but being a junkie. I have even started to get my coworkers hooked.
I have been many things in my life ranging from a bouncer to a mountain guide. Currently, and hopefully for quite some time to come, I'm a cartographer. It's awesome, I spend all day playing with maps. So much fun
Death, chaos and mayhem, the music of the night
I took a belly dancing class years and years ago, but never thought to combine it with fencing…… I can see it now….. and it's scaring me.

You seem like a really interesting person to know
i work in the creative development department at a local nursery. A junkie working directly with 3 year olds… Not the best idea.
I'm also a high school student trying to become a med school student at the university with the 24hour dissection lab.

ouch. telemarketing? Phone spam?!? I'm on the New York and federal Do Not Call Lists so I don't get to talk to "your kind" very often, but if you do call me, just whisper "chicken scissors" so I know it's you and we can plot the Sigler Syndicate's next move.
I am still telemarketing, but looking for something else. I don't know what I want now. I worked retail for 22 years and that started out as a temporary job untill I could find something else. So in a hundred years I'll still be telemarketing unless I get abducted by aliens or something. PLEASE?????
I lift heavy bags around all day.

i am certified in secondary mathematics and in 8-12 composite science
which means if it is a math class or a science class, 8-12, i can legal teach it.
i am actually a very good math teacher who got certified in science (my undergrad degree is in geology) so could get this job that lets me surf the web when students do not have any questions for me (they work on self-paced curriculum and ask for help when needed) or need a test

Well I spend most of my day trying to figure out ways of not doing more work. The rest of my working day is spent listening to well educated people trying to impress me with what they don't know.
It is amazing what some company concepts of DBA's (Database Administrator) are. What we encompass is a bunch of MBA's thinking they can use point and click to create a UBER database without knowing the mechanics behind them. When they finally come to the conclusion that they don't know SHIT about systems integration is where I come in. Oh! The day dreams I have about implementing some of the death scenes you describe on them, give me a nice warm feeling.
Stay drenched in blood brother!
I have been a Fish Farmer for some 13+ years now. We grow from egg to 10gram then they get grown on somewhere else and end up in the supermarket. After so long its mostly autopilot so plenty of time for podcasts.
I have a web design and consulting company in OKC, OK. Spend all my time trying to get shit done for clients that have no idea what i am talking about most of the time.
I drive haul trucks (830E 240ton Komatsu) in an open pit mine in Wyoming. Where I listen to our Pink Pimp.
I help at a hot rod shop, building custom rods and doing restorations. I also race motorcycles. But that's not a paying gig

Being a junkie has cost me the going rates or a little less when scott1 gave me a discount when I register and had hosted http://www.kdboardandcare.com at Go Daddy
Being a junkie has caused my to buy many CDRs (curse you JCH for giving the give podcast episodes Idea) and buy several MP3 players that I would not have purchased if good quality podcasts did not exist
and I bought the books
im a student and im jobless……………for now
I cut animals open….
well actully thats my favorite bit out of it,

I heard at the endof this year we'll be disecting a pig,last year we did cats……. XP
I work for a utility company in a very small town. Not much to do so lots of time to feed my habit ! lol Also a volunteer firefighter.
I'm tired of chasing my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they are going and hook-up with them later.

That's right I work for the Death Star….at&t. I work outside so I have plenty of time to listen to my different podcasts. Or Siglers stuff over and over and over and………
Yep I make people "sammiches"…
Kinda Like IT – But with LOTS and LOTS of
Violence. Thats when Sigler steps in with the glass pipe.
I give chemo 2 days a week and do telephone counselling the other two – in my world 2 + 2 seems to = 7 so I have the other days off! – so I can listen to casts and sleep and shop!
well the customer was only 30 min from the terminal and Barrie, Ontario is about 90 min from the terminal…lol the poor guy didn't get paid for the miles either..lol (I know its wrong to laugh at his misfortune but i'm sick and twisted) 😛
I am gainfully and professionally unemployed after a year and some months of serving the retail industry. w00t for government checks!
I am an engineer at a CBS affilliate in Cincinnati. So basically, I work overnights and get paid to watch TV. 😀
For the side of good, not evil.
Work on everything relating to security you see when you walk into your local bank. Vaults, camera systems, alarms, ATMS, teller cash drawers, that kind of stuff. And No I dont get to bring home any free samples.
I cruise the highways ever so slowly (because traffic is backed up) and I look for my next one, who will be next (where's that Dunkin Donuts again?). And then I find them and I move slowly up toward them (long line, why does everyone have to get Munchkins when I'm in line?) and then I get to her or sometimes him and I reach for her or sometimes him and whisper "Can I have a regular, sweet and light?" Her/His hand comes back, covers her/his mouth, she/he stifles a scream (Yawn) and begs, "Please, anything else?" I can't help myself. I can't. "Munchkin." And then, and then its over. Sated, and I get back to my car, and I start cruising.
Until the hunger builds again.
Actually, I work in local government, and, when not listening to Sigler, I work on my unter-novel at JC Hutchins' site. Dead Minus One continues the story of what happened in Russia after the nuke went off in Saudi Arabia. Not every scientist of Hitler's ended up in America. Hell can be anywhere.
Yup I have the easiest job of all. Most of the time I pass the days drinking diet coke, eating cookies. Oh yeah and I make people and products look DAMN good whilst I drink my diet coke. Ahh the joys of being a "prostitute of the art world" aka commercial photographer.
-Copenhagen snuff is like a sore dick…
You just can't beat it.
I program computers. Yawn.
When I'm not busy having tea parties, I somehow manage to work 40 hours doing data entry and listening to podcasts and music. I wish the tea party gig paid. 🙁
Me being a full time junkie and part time human, means If I can wear my head fones I'll do what ever you want. (Except gay porn,i have to draw the line somewere)
I've heard that doesn't pay well, except in the blood of tyrants and such…
Not Canada too! I didn't think Canada had commercials! ;]
Catch those bastards! Why don't they just steal from Walmart like normal people?
But seriously though, stealing from the general public is just wrong… on many levels
But stealing from a faceless multi-billion dollar company, not so bad.
Freaking fraudsters.
I am considering a "suicide watch" job (as it were) at the moment!
Poor non-english speaker! How far off the mark was he?
No, I don't podcast yet, but I've been considering… Yesss concidering.
…seriously. In the past 10 years I have worked as a network/systems admin for a LARGE telecom/c-lec company, been in the internet baking industry as a network security/intrusion detection SE, a Named Accouts manager and then Server and Storage SE for HP, an EAM for an HP Enterprise reseller and now I sling IP Loadbalancing/WAN acceleration gear for Citrix and run my own consulting company…Oh and full time computer gamer and cracked out Junkie for Sigler's tasty treats…wait a minute, that sounds really bad…
I used to teach English at a private English school here to foreigners that would come to California to learn English and be immersed in our culture.
I now use my current job as a flight attendant to fly around the world and visit the friends I have made in my previous job.

I design electrical gizmos for a living (embedded system design, for those who know the lingo). There are these little music players from some company named for a fruit. My company makes gadgets that plug into, protect, charge or otherwise enhance these little MP3 players…like that idea will EVER catch on… 😉
I have a lot of frustration with my disabilities at times and Scott's books always pull me away from being in a bad mental state. Unlike some authors, I can never guess where his plots are going.

I work for a start-up where I take a "Big" idea for a software product we want to offer and turn into technical specs for developers to work their magic.
My fav story I have is I had a driver and his english was not the greatest..lol I told him that I needed him to pick up a trailer at a customer called Bayer. I asked him if he knew where it was and he said yes. Well my customer calls about an hour later and asks why the driver has not shown up yet. This customer is only 30 min from our terminal. I'm a little perplexed and use my best dispatch answer of "My driver called 10 min ago and had some mechanical problems I'm sending the next available driver" lol. Not even 10 min later my driver calls me and says "I'm here in Barrie, Ontario where do I need to go?". I had to pass the phone off to one of the other dispatchers because I was laughing so hard
One of Sigler's Original Junkie
I get to spend my day driving from store to store all over Northern California. So I have plenty of time to listen to podcasts.
Media Planner. That means I take ads that other people create and decide how best to annoy other Canadians with them.

I get to spend the day creating strategies to thwart credit card fraudsters.
All the mischievousness with none of the guilt!
I've been testing software and web-based applications for over 10 years now. I can't imagine doing anything else.
I work at a CVS. Not plesant but it's a job with pay. I plan to go back to school next year so that will change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Atlanta. In a nutshell, I teach chronically suicidal people how to manage their emotions so that they no longer attempt suicide or engage in any kind of self-injury. I'm in private practice and don't take insurance, which allows me to shell out some bucks from time to time to keep up my habit.
part time telemarketing, I am that annoying person that calls you when you're trying to concentrate on the really intense, bloody, violent parts of Scotts stories. Sorry….
I work for the county government so I get all the good holidays off! I moved closer to work so my commute isn't as long, so my Sigler fixes last over more days! If it weren't for these good drugs, I'd have bazookaed the hell outta I-35 by now!
I'm glad they don't make your tires bounce. But they sure do make MY last roommate's tires bounce. She didn't find them too cuddly, I guess.

Due to still being in school, my only way of bringing in money is through my podcast, (www.viewfromthequad.com) and by washing peoples cars and such.

I am currently unemployed, I am trying to get back into my degree field of Microbiology. It sucks cause I live in Michigan where there are no jobs. I spent the last 4 years not working in my degree field, partly because I couldn't find a job in Michigan in microbiology and partly because I couldn't leave Michigan due to an ailing family member. That restriction is gone since said family has more or less recovered. I am finding it very difficult to find a job right now though. Alot of the jobs posted on Monster and the like seem to be temp to hire positions and most of your temp agencies only want to hire local candidates because they don't pay relocation. Almost have to move to the areas where the jobs are and then hope you get lucky. I am debating going back to school, maybe an Environmental Engineering degree and combine the Microbiology and EnvE into alternative fuels/bioremediation career.

Giordano Bruno's Definition of Magic
On Magic
First, the term 'magician' means a wise man; for example, the Trismegistes
among the Egyptians, the druids among the Gauls, the gymnosophists
among the Indians, the cabalists among the Hebrews, the magi among the
Persians (who were followers of Zoroaster), the sophists among the Greeks
and the wise men among the Latins.
Second, 'magician' refers to someone who does wondrous things merely
by manipulating active and passive powers, as occurs in chemistry, medicine
and such fields; this is commonly called 'natural magic'.
Third, magic involves circumstances such that the actions of nature or
of a higher intelligence occur in such a way as to excite wonderment by
their appearances; this type of magic is called 'prestidigitation'.
Fourth, magic refers to what happens as a result of the powers of attraction
and repulsion between things, for example, the pushes, motions and
attractions due to magnets and such things, when all these actions are due
not to active and passive qualities but rather to the spirit or soul existing in
things. This is called 'natural magic' in the proper sense.
The fifth meaning includes, in addition to these powers, the use of
words, chants, calculations of numbers and times, images, figures, symbols,
characters, or letters. This is a form of magic which is intermediate between
the natural and the preternatural or the supernatural, and is properly called
'mathematical magic', or even more accurately 'occult philosophy'.
The sixth sense adds to this the exhortation or invocation of the intelligences
and external or higher forces by means of prayers, dedications,
incensings, sacrifices, resolutions and ceremonies directed to the gods,
demons and heroes. Sometimes, this is done for the purpose of contacting
a spirit itself to become its vessel and instrument in order to appear wise,
although this wisdom can be easily removed, together with the spirit, by
means of a drug. This is the magic of the hopeless, who become the vessels
of evil demons, which they seek through their notorious art. On the other
hand, this is sometimes done to command and control lower demons with
the authority of higher demonic spirits, by honouring and entreating the
latter while restricting the former with oaths and petitions. This is
transnatural or metaphysical magic and is properly called 'theurgy'.
Seventh, magic is the petition or invocation, not of the demons and
heroes themselves, but through them, to call upon the souls of dead
humans, in order to predict and know absent and future events, by taking
their cadavers or parts thereof to some oracle. This type of magic, both in
its subject matter and in its purpose, is called 'necromancy'. If the body is
not present, but the oracle is beseeched by invoking the spirit residing in
its viscera with very active incantations, then this type of magic is properly
called 'Pythian', for, if I may say so, this was the usual meaning of 'inspired'
at the temple of the Pythian Apollo.
Eighth, sometimes incantations are associated with a person's physical
parts in any sense; garments, excrement, remnants, footprints and anything
which is believed to have made some contact with the person. In that case,
and if they are used to untie, fasten, or weaken, then this constitutes the
type of magic called 'wicked', if it leads to evil. If it leads to good, it is to be
counted among the medicines belonging to a certain method and type of
medical practice. If it leads to final destruction and death, then it is called
'poisonous magic'.
Ninth, all those who are able, for any reason, to predict distant and
future events are said to be magicians. These are generally called 'diviners'
because of their purpose. The primary groups of such magicians use either
the four material principles, fire, air, water and earth, and they are thus
called 'pyromancers', 'hydromancers', and 'geomancers', or they use the
three objects of knowledge, the natural, mathematical and divine. There
are also various other types of prophecy. For augerers, soothsayers and
other such people make predictions from an inspection of natural or physical
things. Geomancers make predictions in their own way by inspecting
mathematical objects like numbers, letters and certain lines and figures,
and also from the appearance, light and location of the planets and similar
objects. Still others make predictions by using divine things, like sacred
names, coincidental locations, brief calculations and persevering circumstances.
In our day, these latter people are not called magicians, since, for
us, the word 'magic' sounds bad and has an unworthy connotation. So this
is not called magic but 'prophecy'.
Finally, 'magic' and 'magician' have a pejorative connotation which has
not been included or examined in the above meanings. In this sense, a
magician is any foolish evil-doer who is endowed with the power of helping
or harming someone by means of a communication with, or even a pact
with, a foul devil. This meaning does not apply to wise men, or indeed to
authors, although some of them have adopted the name 'hooded magicians',
for example, the authors of the book De malleo maleficarum (The
Witches' Hammer). As a result, the name is used today by all writers of this
type, as can be seen in the comments and beliefs of ignorant and foolish
Therefore, when the word 'magic' is used, it should either be taken in
one of the senses distinguished above, or, if it is used without qualifications,
it should be taken in its strongest and most worthy sense as dictated by the
logicians, and especially by Aristotle in Book v of the Topics. So as it is used
by and among philosophers, 'magician' then means a wise man who has the
power to act. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the word, when unqualified,
means whatever is signified by common usage. Another common
meaning is found among various groups of priests who frequently speculate
about that foul demon called the devil. Still other meanings are to be
found in the common usages of different peoples and believers.
Given these distinctions, we will deal generally with three types of
magic: the divine, the physical and the mathematical. The first two of these
types of magic necessarily relate to what is good and best. But the third type
includes both good and evil, since the magician may direct it towards either.
Although all three types agree on many principles and actions, in the third
type, wickedness, idolatry, lawlessness and charges of idolatry are found
when error and deception are used to turn things which are intrinsically
good into evil. Here, the mathematical type of magic is not defined by the
usually mentioned fields of mathematics, i. e., geometry, arithmetic, astronomy,
optics, music, etc., but rather by its likeness and relationship to these
disciplines. It is similar to geometry in that it uses figures and symbols, to
music in its chants, to arithmetic in its numbers and manipulations, to
astronomy in its concerns for times and motions, and to optics in making
observations. In general, it is similar to mathematics as a whole, either
because it mediates between divine and natural actions, or because it shares
or lacks something of both. For some things are intermediates because they
participate in both extremes, others because they are excluded from both
extremes, in which case they should not be called intermediates but a third
species which is not between the other two but outside of them. From what
has been said, it is clear how divine and physical magic differ from the third
To turn now to the particulars, magicians take it as axiomatic that, in all
the panorama before our eyes, God acts on the gods; the gods act on the
celestial or astral bodies, which are divine bodies; these act on the spirits
who reside in and control the stars, one of which is the earth; the spirits act
on the elements, the elements on the compounds, the compounds on the
senses; the senses on the soul, and the soul on the whole animal. This is the
descending scale.
By contrast, the ascending scale is from the animal through the soul to
the senses, through the senses to compounds, through compounds to the
elements, through these to spirits, through the spirits in the elements to
those in the stars, through these to the incorporeal gods who have an ethereal
substance or body, through them to the soul of the world or the spirit of the
universe; and through that to the contemplation of the one, most simple,
best, greatest, incorporeal, absolute and self-sufficient being.
Thus, there is a descent from God through the world to animals, and an
ascent from animals through the world to God. He is the highest point of
the scale, pure act and active power, the purest light. At the bottom of the
scale is matter, darkness and pure passive potency, which can become all
things from the bottom, just as He can make all things from the top.
Between the highest and lowest levels, there are intermediaries, the higher
of which have a greater share of light and action and active power, while the
lower levels have a greater share of darkness, potency and passive power.
As a result, all light in lower things, which comes to them from above, is
more powerful in higher things. And also, all darkness in higher things is
stronger in lower things. But the nature and power of light and darkness
are not equal. For light diffuses and penetrates through the lowest and
deepest darkness, but darkness does not touch the purest sphere of light.
Thus, light penetrates and conquers darkness and overflows to infinity,
while darkness does not penetrate or overwhelm or equal the light, but
rather is very weak compared to light.

Bruno's comments on the pejorative uses of "magic" and "magician" are of great interest to anyone interested in the general issue of how words of this type are twisted by "the ignorant and foolish priests" and their ilk. In particular, there is a great deal of evidence that the same scenario pertains with respect to the words strega, bruja, hexe, sorciere, witch, and so forth. That is, all of these words are unavoidably multivalent in their meanings, despite the fact that some "foolish and ignorant" persons insist that these words only refer to evildoers.ReplyDelete

I watched the German silent film ASPHALT last night and I gotta say -- Betty Amann was like nothing I've ever seen on screen. NOTHING.
She was the single embodiment of early Joan Crawford, Clara Bow, and Louise Brooks. Why Betty did not play Lulu instead for the dreadful Louise Brooks is beyond me. She was so striking I could not take my eyes off her.
The film is actually pretty silly. There's far too much melodrama for the situations. And it's somewhat annoying when Betty's character pleads Gustav Frolich's character to be with her and when he finally proposes marriage she explodes with anger and tries to blow him off. The characters just seem to get mad for no reason and it's over the top. Other than that, the actors were good and the cinematography was good and VERY GERMAN! Great use of shadows, silhouettes, and camera angles.
But Betty Amann! Anyone can fall for her. Although she had some Louise Brooks-esque qualities, Betty could act. But she did not over-do it like Clara Bow tended to do sometimes. Betty was like a perfect medium. She was very expressive, yet natural. She looked much like Joan, Clara, and Louise all in one person. She was mesmerizing.

Net Objectives has been helping companies achieve agility at scale for over a decade. We are not a one size fits all consulting organization but pull from both our vast experience in leading large scale transitions in the industry as well as popular approaches such as the Scaled Agile Framework®. We are contributors to SAFe and Bronze Partners. Our clients have enjoyed the most success with this approach: Working with your organization to conduct an assessment to see where you are, developing a transition roadmap that will help lead to your desired results, and then working with you to achieve them.
We are just making our flow based model (FLEX - FLow for Enterprise Transformation) available. This should be of particular interest to those at small and mid-scale (40-1000) - particularly if you are considering SAFe.
Coaching from Executives to the Team
Lean-Agile is the integration of Lean-Thinking with Agile practices. It takes a systems thinking approach that can enable Agile methods to work effectively when multiple teams are involved. Net Objectives has thought leaders in SAFe®, Scrum, Kanban, and eXtreme Programming. We use these as tools to enable the creation of a cohesive system for our clients that incorporates the practices that most suit their needs. In addition to training, we provide consulting to both create a roadmap to for you while providing coaching to help you achieve it.
The genius of Lean-Agile is that it combines both systems thinking to understand what to do and kaizen to improve your ability to do it. The Net Objectives Coaching Academy is designed to develop novice coaches into effective Lean-Agile coaches. We work with them to expand their knowledge of Lean-Agile methods so that they know what should be done. We equip them with coaching fundamentals to make them better coaches so that they can enable their charges in being able to do the practices themselves.
Net Objectives is the only consulting company that has been at the forefront of the adoption of XP, Scrum, Lean, Kanban and SAFe®. This enables us to provide your coaches with the skill sets that are appropriate for your organization.
Many teams have gone to Agile picking their approach somewhat arbitrarily and without proper training. Not everyone should be using the same methods. We often see instances where Scrum and Kanban and been done poorly because the wrong method is being attempted. We created the Agile at Scale Clinic to provide assistance to teams struggling with their Agile approach. We also enable teams to tailor the practices to their own context.
Before providing such services, we like to do an assessment to ensure we understand the real challenges being faced and the solutions needed.

It's been an exciting few months since I began this project. It started with a simple goal of creating a method to share my knowledge of writing action scenes and has since morphed into a book project, live workshops, and eventually an online workshop. I hope that some of these plans will come to fruition in the following year.
In the meantime, I hope you'll keep submitting me action scenes to critique. Likewise, I hope the critiques I've already provided have been useful to you as readers and writers. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions to the blog, I'd love to hear about them.
Coming up next: a treatise on Chase scenes.
And finally, whether you celebrate it or not, I do and would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.

Restaurant and hospitality leader The Briad Group announced it is offering national franchise opportunities for CUPS Frozen Yogurt–That's Hot, the beach-themed self-serve fro-yo concept that has four locations in New Jersey and seven more in development for 2012. CUPS is now franchising in 34 states.
By franchising CUPS, The Briad Group is returning to its roots as the company first started with a single ice cream parlor in New Jersey in 1987.
Now, 25 years later, The Briad Group is one of the largest franchise operators in the U.S. The Briad Group's entities are: licensed franchisees for Wendy's, T.G.I. Friday's, Corner Bakery Cafe, Marriott, Hilton, and a licensee for Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar.
With 71 locations, The Briad Restaurant Group is the largest T.G.I. Friday's franchisee in the U.S.
"CUPS was created by a company with decades of experience operating national brands that we all know and love," says Rick Barbrick, president and COO of The Briad Group, and CUPS co-founder. "We currently are franchisees of these great brands so we know what franchisees are looking for in an investment. We also understand the support needed to be successful."
Since opening the first CUPS in Clifton, New Jersey, in November, 2010, CUPS has taken the Tri-State area by storm, becoming the local hot spot for teenagers and adults alike who make their own fro-yo concoctions choosing from 24 yogurt flavors and more than 50 different toppings and three sauces.
According to Barbrick, CUPS' key differentiation is the guest experience: "It's more of a club like experience with an edgy vibe. We have loud dance music with lighting and murals that give us a look and feel that is very different from the normal yogurt bar or ice cream shop. Our edginess has drawn crowds and celebrities, such as the one of the Jonas Brothers and the stars of television reality show Jerseylicious."
According to an Entrepreneur magazine article, "What's Hot (or Not) for Franchises in 2012," the frozen dessert category is one of the hottest franchise concepts. Also, according to IBIS World Industry Report on Frozen Yogurt Stores, yogurt sales, which will top $724 million this year, have grown an average of 5.9 percent a year between 2006 and 2011.
In addition to industry statistics and trends, advantages for prospective CUPS franchisees include:

Made a great discovery ... there's a salvage/bent&dent type store in my city!.
Yeah, I really should get a hobby. But this is good news because the nearest salvage store
is about a two hour drive away.
So, off we went.
It's a medium-size store ... apparently it is owned by the folks who also own a local restaurant, which explains the industrial-size prepared foods in the freezers. They offered a number of gluten-free and organic items, too. I bought some vegan cheese ... which is interesting ...
As for the rest ... many of the items came from the supermarket chain that has several locations in town. Unfortunately, I saw many of the same items that I'd purchased recently ... on sale ... at the store.
The best deals ended up being snack-type items. We bought several bags of chips ... most will go into DH's work lunches, along with a few other snacks, plus a large box of dryer sheets. (I noticed the same thing in my last round of shopping ... snacks, prepared cereals and the like were going at rock-bottom prices, while the "real food" prices were pretty close to retail.)
But, like any salvage store, the bargains change frequently. So it's definitely worth an occasional visit.

Kaluga Region: source of Russian VW
Just 200 kilometers from Moscow is the Kaluga Region, the center of Russian science and industry. The country's largest scientific research complex develops hi-tech advances in engineering and electronics.
But the region also boasts a flourishing car industry, with giants like Volvo and Volkswagen basing their joint ventures in Kaluga. The number of cars assembled there grows every year, providing numerous job opportunities.
Renata may be afraid of horses, but she is not afraid of horsepower. Every day she handles 140. And her husband Harald drives just as many. The two work at the Volkswagen factory and were among the first expats to settle down in Kaluga. Renata Manzenrieder is president of the Kaluga International Women's Club. Harald Manzenrieder heads Volkswagen Technopark.
"I'm the only Brazilian in Kaluga. And everywhere I go and I say I'm from Brazil," she says."Of course I get this cheering and people talk about football - of Pele, Kaka - so it's always positive. When you're here you can really feel the culture. You can see the small difference than maybe in a big city like Moscow, [where] you're just one more in a crowd. And here you stand out."
Well Renata and Harald certainly turned heads locally when they drove the German automotive giant's first fully Russian-made vehicle off the production line.
"They're proud they're Russians. At the same time we see this reservation towards products made in Russia," Harald shares his impressions. "So we work on that to convince our people, to convince everybody that what we do [has] the same quality as the products from Germany."
The company was an early-bird to place its bets on the region – bets worth $1 billion. On 700 hectares it built a whole industrial park, something which would be unlikely closer to Moscow due to higher costs.
Other car-makers were hot on their tail lights. Today Kaluga is home to Volvo, Peugeot Citroen and Renaut. Just recently, a steel stamping factory was opened. Now it caters for all VW's car parts.
The factory in Kaluga is not just the biggest German investment in Russia, but also an example of localization. This is no longer just a car assembly as it was three years ago. Parts are built with Russian hands and ultimately they will be built with Russian steel.
Unlike Renata and Harald, welder Sergey Zuev was born in Kaluga. But in a way, he also stands out from his 3,000 colleagues. He was recruited from a local orphanage. Out of work for ages, Sergey says he is now driven to succeed.
"I want to stay and work here if they give me a chance to grow. I would like to become a foreman and ultimately a manager. I see prospects for my friends too. More and more companies are opening up in the region," Sergey enthuses.
Renata was behind the idea to employ orphans. She set up a women's club in Kaluga which, among other projects, undertook the patronage of local orphanages.
"Government does a lot and also private initiators, but after 18 years old they're on the street and what can we do? If we give clothes, one day it's worn out. We thought about a project not giving money or clothes, but about giving an opportunity for them to grow up," she explains.
Sergey is learning German in the hope that one day he will land his dream job – eager to work and give something back to those that gave him a hand, when he most needed it.

Thermal imaging cameras for personal vision
After sunset, a lot of animals are active. With the help of a thermal imaging camera like the TS-Series you will be able to monitor their activities. The TS-Series will not only help you to find animals in total darkness but during daylight as well.
Thermal imaging cameras make extremely small temperature differences visible. Based on these temperature differences they create a clear image. Furthermore, thermal contrast is extremely difficult to mask. This means that during daylight you will clearly see animals that are hidden in trees or bushes. Their natural camouflage will not help them to hide anymore.
Thermal imaging cameras are widely used by professional documentary makers and hunters worldwide. Until now they have been extremely expensive. The TS-Series are now bringing thermal imaging cameras within reach of nature and wildlife enthusiasts and for hunters.

Action Alert: Critical Healthcare Vote TODAY
Posted July 25, 2017 Autism Society
Today the Senate will vote on a motion to proceed with debate on health care legislation. This procedure represents the first step in bringing a bill to the floor for a vote. At this point no one knows, not even Senators, what bill will ultimately receive consideration should the motion to proceed move forward. Regardless of which bill comes before the body, we must keep up the pressure to protect Medicaid! The vote is scheduled for this afternoon, so we need all hands on deck to ensure we stop the plan in its tracks. If the motion to proceed passes, the legislation will receive a full vote later this week.
Now is the time to act. Please call your Senators TODAY and urge them to oppose Medicaid cuts and caps and vote NO on the motion to proceed. Without action, Medicaid will cease to exist as we know it and millions will be left without a critical lifeline. Tell your senators to stand up for people with disabilities and vote NO TODAY. Be sure to thank your senators if they have committed to #SaveMedicaid.

text: Plenty of room on the bench How tough are times? Even the NHL is cutting back on staff – albeit for somewhat different reasons Oct 25, 2010 By Todd HumberEmpty cubicles, vacant offices and cobwebbed assembly lines. Those are all signs of the Great Recession and the sluggish recovery. But Canadian office and manufacturing workers aren't the only ones seeing fewer colleagues in the workplace these days.Keep a close eye on your television during Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts and you'll see many players in the NHL have, well, a little more elbow room when they're hanging out on the bench.During one game in October against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New Jersey Devils dressed only 15 skaters. That garnered the attention of the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA), the union representing players. Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), teams are allowed a maximum of 23 players on their rosters. It furthers states that, "except in case of emergency, there shall be no reduction of the required minimum playing rosters of the clubs, below 18 skaters and two goaltenders."The CBA doesn't define what constitutes an "emergency" for dressing fewer than 20 players. In the case of the Devils, they're playing shorthanded because they have no cap space and were hamstrung by injuries and a suspension.For the 2010-2011 season, teams can spend no more than US$59.4 million on players' salaries (the NHL pays its players in U.S. currency). The league minimum salary for this year is $500,000 and the Devils have 15 players making more than $1 million with star forward Ilya Kovalchuk taking up $6.6 million of the cap space on his own.Recent Columns by Todd Humber ▶Forget technology – the heart of recruitment will never changeEmployer liability for harassment, assault not a givenThe Devils started the season with no cap space, and therefore no flexibility to call up players from the minors should problems arise. Whether that's a smart move (the Devils, in theory anyway, maximized their talent level by spending every available penny) or a huge mistake (injuries and suspensions are part of the game, so why take the risk of having such a short bench?) is in the eye of the beholder.But they're far from the only team to play shorthanded. At least 10 teams are carrying fewer than the maximum, including four of the six Canadian teams — the Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs.There are varying reasons for the extra leg room on the bench. In some cases, leaving holes in the roster is designed to save cash-strapped teams a bit of money. In others, it's a strategic tactic designed to give more personnel flexibility later in the season. It's all about talent and risk management.The NHL reportedly isn't taking the complaint from the NHLPA too seriously. The union, for its part, is a little bit toothless at the moment. It's without a leader, but Donald Fehr — the fiery former head of the players' union for Major League Baseball — is expected to take the helm later this month.The current CBA expires on Sept. 15, 2011. Expect the salary cap and minimum roster sizes to be a significant issue when negotiations open up. In the meantime, players might want to stretch out, relax and enjoy all that empty space on the bench. With fewer players to rotate in and out, they're going to need the rest.Todd Humber is the managing editor of Canadian HR Reporter, the national journal of human resources management.

The students and teachers in ArchKU do not get them in either sides of a barrier. Rather their friendly and amiable relationship is noteworthy, which is unquestionably necessary for the smooth progression of architecture education. As there are many issues scaled with subjectivity, effortless exchange of views and ideas between teachers and students enormously help the learning environment. Teacher-Student Day is such a in inclusive platform where every member of ArchKU family is set free to open up and put forward their difficulties and desires. It's a two-way exchange between faculty and students and no stranger is invited. The primary objective of this day is to formulate the best possible ways and means in utilizing the limited resources at hand to excel the academia.
The 3rd Teacher-Student Day of ArchKU was observed in an evening of 2013 at ArchKU floor. The Head, Prof. Dr. Afroza Parvin, chaired the event while the student coordinator, Dr. Sk. Serajul Hakim, along with student representatives organized it. In the beginning, Prof. Afroza gave a very eloquent multi-media presentation on the all the achievements of ArchKU, step by step through academic, research, faculty training and education, publication, seminar, workshop, students design competition, infra-structure, staff deployment, etc. Student representatives of all the five years were asked to discuss their problems and future desires. The Head noted all of them and afterward pointed her plan of action to comply with the things for continuous progress of the mission and vision of ArchKU.
In the second round a number of students sang songs including 'Sadhu Sango' with their folk items and some played on instrumental music. Finally a delicious dinner was served in the venue, which was enjoyed by the teachers and students together. Everyone returned home at the end with a fresh vow to uphold the spirit and commitment that was made in the event.

Did you miss me???
After almost two months since my last post, I decided to show up again. . .
Many things have happened during this period, some good (holidays, house renovation...) and some bad (relationship stuff, business trips and seminars...).
While living all these stuff, I was visiting my friends blogs (you guys keep on doing some terrific work)!
I am about to start rolling again, but before I do, I wanted to apologize for my long absence. I hope you understand...
Cheers mates!

Naughty in Nassau
Featuring: Natalie Fiore
Duration: 13:35
This video and the photos were shot in 2006 in Nassau, The Bahamas, and marked Natalie Fiore's SCORELAND debut. We had no way of knowing back then that Natalie would become one of the greatest naturals ever, but we certainly had clues. Natalie was sexy and enthusiastic and had big, natural tits. Back in 2006, she was a slim 'n' stacked SCORE Girl. Since then, as her tits have ballooned, she has become a Voluptuous Girl and, when she was pregnant, an XL Girl. It seems as if every time we see Natalie, her tits are bigger. Natalie's week-long shoot in Nassau resulted in the DVD Naughty In Nassau, and you can count on one hand the number of big-boobed models who have had a DVD devoted to them after their first shoot. Natalie would go on to join us in Prague, Czech Republic; Grand Bahama Island; and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Her most-recent shoots were done when she was seven-months pregnant and during post-pregnancy. The size of her tits has to be seen to be believed.

Rejuvenating Individual Women's Retreats
We always get the chance to do more things, go faster, and get more done, but how often do we make time to do less, take care of ourselves and just be?
Are you looking for a women's retreat where you can relax and recharge, so you can infuse new life and connect with yourself in a much deeper way? Life is very busy and stressful and sometimes it's important to get away and reboot. It is so critical to take time for yourself and nurture your well-being. This spiritual retreat allows you time to just be and be taken care of.
Let me create the perfect calming individual women's retreat for your optimal relaxation.
So many of us are busy taking care of others whether it be our partners, kids, people at work and our homes, that it leaves little time to take care of ourselves. We are often being pulled in so many directions that we have little time to reflect and go inside to even see what our needs may be. This rejuvenating women's retreat offers the tools needed to learn how to tap into your knowing, even in the midst of life's chaos, and be nurtured through modalities such as massage, reiki, craniosacral, and guided meditation to help rebalance your system.
Sedona is the perfect healing spot with its healing energies to recharge, reboot, and balance so that you can start moving through your life with more passion and life force.
Imagine, no phones, no TVs, no children, partners, or work making demands of your time. This women's retreat is just for you!
What You Can Expect From Your Rejuvenating Individual Retreat
- To have time to just be you
- To shut down your mind and body and just be
- To open your mind and being to new creative ideas
- To get to know yourself on a deeper level
- To care for yourself and not let guilt get in the way
- To relax and reboot
- To live with more passion and happiness
- To learn tools to maintain a state of relaxation even in chaos
Have you ever taken the time to devote to only you without others' needs getting in the way?
Extremely Personalized To Meet Your Needs 1,3 and 5 Day Spirual Retreats
I will design your personal retreat after a phone consultation to find out emotionally and spiritually what your intentions are. To have a truly healing and nurturing experience, you will need to devote 1, 3 or 5 days to the retreat, excluding travel time or any additional time you may want to spend in Sedona. I do not suggest going from the retreat right into sightseeing or to work the very next day. It is important that you move into your scheduled life with ease so not to disrupt the calming and healing effects of the retreat.
Because the transformation can keep occurring after you leave the retreat, I have an After Care Program in place to help facilitate deeper breakthroughs. I offer 4-30 minute follow-up consultations, either face-to-face or over the phone, to help you integrate into your relationship with a new way of being.
I do not offer a set price because each women's retreat is individually created depending on your needs, how many days you decide are right for you, and what modalities will be incorporated for your optimum rejuvenation and balancing. After a consultation you and I will decide if Sedona Soul Retrieval is right for you and design the perfect retreat to fit your needs.
Are You Ready To Care And Show Up For Yourself?
Call or email me to see if Sedona Soul Retrieval is the best choice for your healing to a deeper relationship with yourself and a happier, more peaceful, life.
Your retreat will take place in Sedona, AZ. My historical home has an attached cottage with complete privacy. It has a kitchenette, queen-size bed with organic sheets and towels, a healing flower garden, and a library of spiritual books and meditation CD's.
CALL NOW to start your process to transform your life! 928-300-0447 OR Contact me here »

It feels like city-moving month is still an ongoing distraction – all my pictures are still on the floor instead of the walls – but I am running out of time to tell people about next week's shows in Alberta. There is more info about this stuff in a post on the band website, but here's the quicker version:
Show dates
We're playing in Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Calgary, sharing the Ship & Anchor stage at the Sled Island Festival with The Flatliners, and particularly excited to play with old-hometown Halifax band Heaven for Real in Edmonton.
Check out the listings! Tell your western friends!
New album: Anchor Rights
In the last month, we put out a new album called Anchor Rights with the help of exciting and generous folks: Dave Draves, Harris Newman, Jeremy Gara, Mark Molnar, and Nicole Aline Legault.
You can purchase digital downloads, as well as prints of Nicole Aline Legault's glorious cover art on the Big Knife Little Knife Bandcamp page.
We also made some videos! Out of Creative Commons footage. They're kind of bananas in three totally different ways: A Certain Degree, Brickwork, Christa McAuliffe.
Mine below! Video editing is super fun.

The holiday season is upon us. We're busy decorating, stringing lights, buying gifts and writing holiday greeting cards. But part of the holiday experience is Christmas music. I can tolerate most of the typical music you'll hear throughout the malls during December, but there are so many more great holiday songs out there that don't hit most people's ears. My sister has an annual tradition of finding these songs and making a kitchy holiday compilation and sending it out with her Christmas cards. Merry Thriftmas is a collection of holiday rarities, some transferred straight from her thrift store vinyl. Merry Thriftmas is now on Volume 4, The Santa Boogie Edition. I offered to help her reach even more people by making the compilation available for download.
As great as Merry Thriftmas is, we are also enjoying Holiday Rocks available through SomaFM. This is a stream we've been airing throughout the house this month. It's like having an amazing indie mix tape of hard to find holiday tunes. You'll hear songs by Yo La Tengo, The New Pornographers, The Apples in Stereo, Belle & Sebastian, The Ladybug Transistor Friends & Family (and in true indie pop tape trade tradition) Six Cents and Natalie! You'll also hear great songs by classics like the Beach Boys, The Who and The Band. If you get hooked, don't forget to donate!

The Myth and Ecology programme will not run this year but is due to recommence in September 2019, with applications opening in August 2018. If you would like recieve updates you can sign up here.
The most powerful way to effect change in this world is to address the one that underpins it
– The Mundus Imaginalis
An invitation
A ship is setting sail from England in September 2017.
It's a very old, very particular kind of ship.
It's the magnificent, creaky timbered, curly roped, burgundy sail kind. You've seen bigger ships surely, and certainly more streamlined, but this one is hard to get over. It's the kind that straightens your back and brings a tear to your eye as you shyly lift your gaze to its regal shape. This is the kind of ship that shouldn't exist anymore.
Standing on the dock in the dusking light, you can hear singing carried over the waves, and excited laughter. Figures are calling to you from the deck, beckoning to you, calling to you in your old names. These are the names no one should know, the ancient names, how can this possibly be happening?
The evening moon is emerging from behind clouds. But let us lean forward, the captain is lifting her lantern."To all scholar-explorers and heretical investigators … there is something pressing to say, something urgent. This is an invitation.
We are setting sail to un-map the world.
Join us. Join us for this maiden voyage … the world's first postgraduate programme in Myth and Ecology – The Mundus Imaginalis.
In a time when every square inch of the globe seems to be neutered, quartered and googled, we intrepids are journeying out to glimpse the Otherworld that is secreted most wonderfully in this one - to peer into the steaming foliage and bright feathered world that still exists underneath the grid - whilst we still can. The hour is late.
This is an Otherworld that wriggles in your fist like the archaic trout of the smoky Thames and disappears (carrying all of Shakespeare in its scales) when we attempt to tell it what-it-is. This right-by-our-side Otherworld causes ink to slide off the page and evaporate when we produce the T-square too avidly.
We set sail to do nothing less ambitious than to court the mysteries: the small and gentle ones, the elaborate and complex gnashing teethed ones, the ones you glimpsed at the edge of your garden when you were little. We set sail to un-map our presumption that we know what the earth is.
When we un-map the world, we start the un-colonising of our own imagination and we move from personal fantasy to an imagination that is bigger than ourselves. We understand that psyches don't only dwell within, we dwell amidst them, and their imagination help create our reality every day. When we un-map the world it starts to talk back to us, we begin to trail not trap. We start to witness not just thinking about the earth, but thoughts from the earth.
Our travels through the waters of time and place will bring us to people and traditions where the weaving of the human and non-human are at their most permeable, their most acute and most sophisticated. In the end, we will trade our tired maps for the best compass of all, the one that really matters - a truth north - what the Troubadours called 'the educated heart'. It is time, as the poets say; 'to think in ways we've never thought before'. It is time to trade comfort for shelter.
Make no mistake, study awaits. An un-gridded world reveals not just knowledge but
wisdom, an un-mapped world will reveal not chaos but cosmos. With that wisdom, with that cosmos, comes tangible learning and focused application. Be prepared. This will be the most exacting journey. Take not one single step towards the gangplank without knowing that we take no passengers.
So, here we stand on the dock. It is night, but the scholar-explorers are preparing to raise anchor. The captain leans forward with her lantern one more time, peers towards us and asks:
"Shall we go?"
Aboard the ship
This is a residential and immersive postgraduate programme that takes imagination seriously. It is delivered by Schumacher College, awaiting validation by Lampeter, the University of Wales (TSD) and led by mythologist Dr Martin Shaw and anthropologist Dr Carla Stang. Carla brings her knowledge of different cultures, her fieldwork and phenomenological study, Martin brings mythology and two decades of work as a wilderness rites-of-passage guide. As they rove through mythology, anthropology, philosophy and poetics, they will also invite guest teachers on a module by module basis.
This is a year-long programme where you will walk in and out of other centuries. It will be a deep and exacting study of image, cosmology, storytelling, myth and lived experience that reaches out to an earth that is profoundly more than human. From Amazonia to Siberia, from the Hermetic, Troubadour, Sufi and Romantic faiths and traditions, we are journeying out to study cultures that celebrate a world ensouled, alive and radiating intelligence.
The main counterweights of the year will be a progression through western mythologies (many hidden or barely remembered), and the lived philosophy of the Mehinaku people of Amazonia. There will be the study of many other lifeworlds, together with which we will learn how people in different times places have and do respond to an earthy consciousness of extraordinary wonder, regarding such as both magical and utterly ordinary. Such experiential study is how we will begin to tune our ear.
Cloistered In the medieval courtyard of the beautiful Dartington estate and upon the wild moors of Devon, England, is the chance to apprentice to subtle and often secret knowledge, the reason being that we are living in a time when many of these secrets need to become public, need to be practiced and need to be lived. In doing so we encounter the wonder of ordinary reality and that far from being a rarefied state available to only a few, we will find that a dynamic relationship to what the neo-platonists called the 'Anima Mundi'- is our natural state.
What are our aims and objectives? To be struck by lightning, to find our work, to roll up to our own lives. The standard will be high with scholarship and the experiential in either hand, with little distinction between them.

At KeraLink International, our mission transcends science. We celebrate the individuals who make up the donor circle — from the selflessness of tissue donors to the gratefulness of transplant recipients. We strive to foster a strong sense of community where compassionate individuals are driven to help one another live their lives to the fullest.
Over the last 50+ years, we have provided more than 250,000 ocular tissue donations for transplant around the world. As a full-service ocular program, we are intimately involved in all aspects of the donor-recipient loop and proud of our ongoing engagement with donor families and recipients.
By sharing the stories of transplant recipients, we celebrate the lives that are changed every day through the generosity of donor families and shine a light on the continued need for tissue donation.

JOHANNESBURG, February 13 – Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa is attempting to mend relations with neighbouring Botswana and is on a two-day visit to the country, the first visit of its kind in more than a decade, Botswana's Mmegi Online reported.
Mnangagwa arrived in the Botswana capital Gaborone on Monday following years of a cold war between the two countries when former dictator Robert Mugabe managed to alienate much of Zimbabwe, the international community and many regional countries, before he was overthrown in last year's military coup.
Shortly after his arrival Mnangagwa held closed-door talks with President Ian Khama before addressing parliament.
Later Khama addressed the Zimbabwean leader during a banquet held in his honour.
"It has been over a decade since Botswana and Zimbabwe officially exchanged state visits, a situation that certainly does not augur well for the promotion and sustenance of the spirit of good neighbourliness among friendly states," said Khama.
"Mr President, to have you in our midst is the first time a President of Zimbabwe has paid a state visit during my presidency, not to mention that I have never been invited to a state visit to Zimbabwe either. So you came just in time before I end my term of office," he said.
Khama added that the Zimbabwean leader's visit was historic and provided fresh impetus for the "revitalisation and consolidation of the time-tested relations that exist between the two countries".
Mnangagwa on Tuesday attended a business meeting between the two countries before touring the Diamond Trading Company Botswana.
He also invited Botswana companies to take advantage of the new investor-friendly environment and exploit the vast natural resources Zimbabwe has to offer. The Zimbabwe leader will also address the Botswana Parliament.
