"In this thread you first said "never let him attack first". You previously defended a Tai Chi instructor who indicated he preferred to wait for an attack and use the energy, etc. Your initial post on this thread apparently did not convey your real position (based on your post above and previous posts), yet you indicate that my confusion shows my lack of knowledge. Great logic."
i am really failing to see why you cant understand the difference in these methods. they on dependant on the TIMING of the relative actions of each fighter. if you telegraph your motions and my various speeds are cumulatively greater than yours, i will preempt you. if you 'launch' first and control the centerline then i must blend/contribute, and use your momentum against you, either to hit you or offbalance. this isnt even a debatable. it is the way it is. period.
"lso your statement above doesn't make much sense. You are going to attack the slower person & counterattack the faster person ?
are you brain dead? if someone is not prepared, has an open guard, out of position and has inferior processing and execution speed, they get hit first.
How about getting a jump on the faster person ?
how in the hell do you do that? this remark shows that you are sorely lacking in your understanding of TIMING, as well as how it differs from SPEED. please give your definition of these two terms.
How do you know they are faster or slower before the fight starts ? Must be their Ki energy."
when they are incoming first it is more than obvious who is faster. as well if your perception of their telegraph is lacking, you will interpret this as superior speed on their part. and some people just plain have a greater execution speed than you, when this is coupled with excellent timing and reading skills, you better know how to blend or overextend.
i judge your responses, just as you judge mine. your ideas/concepts seem to be somewhat limited imho.
"I do. So what ? Almost everyone here is."
care to specify more. i have been in ma for over 30 yrs. primarily peokulan kuntao silat, but training as well in karate,judo,jujutsu,chaunfa, and capoiera.
"Why do you assume I'm being dismissive ? A bit sensitive about your made up phrases ?"
KInetic energy is the proper terminology to use in reference to the subject of POWER in the martial arts. do you use different terms? try me, lets see if i can follow you. i make no apologies for my terms and label them as such, along with an honest attempt to explain as clearly as possible. you just cry.
"! You have 0 respect for SCARS. Kungfools is the essence of SCARS"
my problems with SCARS and Kungfoolss personal proclivities does not cloud my judgement of the material he posts. you best believe i scrutinize it with a highly skeptical eye. he generally passes with flying colors. i just dont like his attitude or the touting of SCABS as something 'new' and 'superior' to the TMA that forged the way and passed this info down through the ages. unfortunately many of the central points he makes about the state of martial arts in general are quite correct.
in the face of certain realities, emotions have no place.
"I suggest you take your own advice (from your profile) and find a teacher - they know **** - take writing & logic classes this year ! Kunfools was right about 1 thing - I am getting emotional, because I'm sick of reading stupid **** like this."
i assure you, i have a most excellent teacher. perhaps it is your teacher who is lacking,...hmmm?
now you can flame back, or you can lay down something intelligent and we can discuss it. fair enough?
"Well, since you are making up a LOT of different terms here, it's hard to say. However, since the statement doesn't follow from your last sentence, I'll have to assume you are at least partially wrong."
interruption- i hit you first before you can achieve striking posture or distance.
collisive impact- i strike into your momentum to increase my kinetic damage. i do this because for whatever reason you are currently in the process of striking.
overextending- i snatch you off balance as you attack, extending your momentum beyond what you intended, and then capitalize on your vulnerability, often by using collisive impact.
is that clear enough?

[I didn't say dire, I said last resort.
I have never seen you post a scenario where your goal was to go to the ground.
No - the context of the piece was some strikes that knock people out and your complaints were generally about the scope of the piece. They didn't include fists, they didn't include elbows, they didn't include ground work, their focus is too simplistic and linear. Then Kuntao simply called it garbage as shown and ranted about the elbows some more.
PS. I'm still waiting for all those people in the earlier part of this thread that were praising the techniques, explain the validity of the anti-shoot/tackle knockouts. Where did all you guys run off to? (Smirks)Kungfoolss, Scourge of the theory-based stylists, Most Feared man at Bullshido.com, and the Preeminent Force in the martial arts political arena

Based on this log, your VPN is working just fine. Your problem is most likely with the routing as seen in the two last lines of that log. Your LAN uses the 192.168.1.0/24 network, while your VPN clients are using the 192.168.10.0/24 client. You can't route the two segments unless you setup a route on the client, or you change your VPN clients to also use the 192.168.1.0/24 network.
Best is to modify the DHCP range to only handle 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.199, then configure VPN clients to allocate address in the 192.168.1.200 to 192.168.1.210 range. That way VPN clients will be able to directly route to your LAN.
That right there is a failed user/password authentication.

It's surprising how many people go abroad on their gap year without taking out insurance. Even if they do, it can often be inadequate or not suitable. It's not worth the risk! Here is some good advice about insurance from the FCO: www.fco.gov.uk
Here are some companies which specialise in gap year insurance:
'This is specialist travel insurance designed for people on round the world or multi-stop trips. The 24/7 medical emergency hot-line is staffed by people who are experienced in dealing with incidents in all parts of the world.'

Much has been written about the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the case-law of the Court of Human Rights from a variety of perspectives; yet there seems to be a gap in the literature when it comes to the impact of the Convention in different countries and the question why this impact may differ from one country to another. This book fills this gap with regard to the new member countries of the Council of Europe (CoE) in Central and Eastern Europe by way of a comprehensive analysis that provides truly comparable information from all or nearly all countries in the region and suggests some conclusions that may be drawn. Country reports are included from all ten CEECs that have already joined the EU, as well as most or even all of the other countries in the region that have joined the Council of Europe and have ratified the ECHR after the end of communist party dictatorship. A couple of reports regarding countries that have also emerged from communism but are not eligible for membership in the Council of Europe are also included for comparative purposes.
This book is aimed at academics and practitioners interested in human rights generally and more specifically in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Couple years back or so I'm cruising the magazine racks at the Barnes & Noble where a masthead catches my eye. BUST it is. 'Hey I have one of those!' I can only see the title and I go to reach for it when I notice a pre-pubescent boy at my elbow. This gives me pause.
BUST? I ask myself. Wait a minute, is this porn? But this is Barnes & Noble. Best wait for a kid-free moment I tells myself and I wait for junior to exit, stage right.
When the coast is clear I snag the magazine and start thumbing the contents. Flo of Florence and the Machine fame is on the cover at the exact moment that her end of Dog Days opus is blowing my musically bored mind. Each page turn makes me increasingly want to know, 'who is the audience for this thing?'
- Is it a magazine for rocker grrrrls and do people still even say that?
- Is it for 20-somethings? What about moms of advanced maternal age?
- There are crafts in here, are you kidding me?
- Is this the best thing I've ever seen in print EVER?
Remarkably, the answer to all these questions and more was YES. Incredibly, this magazine is currently celebrating its 20-year anniversary. 20 years? I don't know how it took me this long to find this thing, but now I have. Thank god.
Unfortunately, someone over at the Barnes and Noblay had a momentary breech of reason and stopped carrying the thing. No worries. You can still web it, read it, download it, gift it, craft it and love it.
In an added effort to spread the word of BUST's genious and hilarity throughout the land, I leave you ladies and gents with the latest thing from BUST that make me bust a gut. I give you, Sh*t That Girls Say from BUST.tv.
Carry on.

KUALA LUMPUR: A charity auction dinner was held at the JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur recently to bid farewell to the United Buddy Bears (UBB).
The bears were on their way to their next destination, New Delhi, India, after having spent three months outside the Pavilion in Jalan Bukit Bintang. They were on their global tour to promote living together in peace and harmony.
The dinner was graced by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, and Tourism Malaysia chairman, Datuk Dr Victor Wee.
At the dinner, limited editions of the smaller versions of the bears were auctioned. Two bears designed by Eva Herlitz, who is also one of the co-founders of UBB, were also auctioned.
The proceeds of the auction will go to Buddy Bear Help, an international children's charity.
Entertaining the guests while they dined were performances by internationally renowned artistes Dan Hill, Jay Scott Berry and and local star Shafinaz.

"Many's the time I've been mistaken." (Paul Simon)
"The phenomenological idea of going to the things themselves means to do full justice to the everyday experience, to the lived experience. … 'Going to the things' [Husserl] means that, as researchers, we should position ourselves so the things can show themselves to us." (Karin Dahlberg)
"All creation is a burning bush of the Lord God, revealing his just, merciful presence by the praise of countless creatures." (Calvin Seerveld)
"Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law." (Psalm 119:18 NIV)
How do I make sense of the world, and of myself? How do I find my way in the world? As I live these questions, and reflect on them, I discover myself in three conditions: a state of wonder at the marvel of the things I encounter and at the overabundant love of God to which I believe all these things testify; a state of heartbreak at the evil that vandalizes all things and that I discover (most often as misguided love) resident in myself; a state of hope when I discover that it (sometimes, in some ways) gets better and when I hear the promise in the apocalyptic poetry of the Bible that in the end all will be well.
These questions and conditions are also what shapes my work at the
Institute for Christian Studies. As Associate Professor in Worldview Studies,
my primary assignment is to co-design, co-promote, and teach in the new low-residency,
cohort-based Wayfinding Masters of Worldview Studies alongside others in the ICS
community and our extended networks of collaborators, and to nurture a long-term collaborative learning community, The Wayfinders.
In a few weeks we'll be starting up the next course in our Wayfinding MWS, Vocational Wayfinding. Part of what excites me about this course is that we are offering it both for credit (a Certificate in Worldview Studies or towards our MWS) and as a continuing education learning experience, and that we are eagerly partnering with local churches, schools, campus ministries, and other organizations to set up in-person study groups to participate in the course.
I also eagerly partner with others working in vocational wayfinding and worldview studies. In September of 2016 I will be teaching on a spirituality of wonder, heartbreak, and hope (as it is found in the psalms) for adaptive discipleship in a complex and changing world, in partnership with the Cascade Fellows of Fuller Theological Seminary's Pacific Northwest campus in Seattle, and doing a workshop in that beautiful city in partnership with the pastors network Made to Flourish. And from May to September 2017 I hope to be in South Africa again, partnering with the Communitas and Ekklesia Centers in the Faculty of Theology of the University of Stellenbosch, with the Stellenbosch Gemeente, as well as with other communities of faith.
I'd love to talk with anyone interested in this program and these courses! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can set up an online video or phone conversation.

I sometimes help a landscaper do customer estimates, and find he consistently underestimates his real costs. And he often gets underbid by other contractors. Who, I suspect, are making even more egregious errors in their calculations.
Now that the work has been done you could figure out for yourself if you got a great deal--I'm guessing you did, and the contractor lost big dollars unless there was considerable salvage value to him in the wood (firewood).
Call an equipment rental company and price out the cost of any heavy equipment that was used. Add to that $50 for each chain saw used. Find out what it would have cost to transport and dump the wood.
I'm guessing this was an all day job, so multiply the number of workers by 8 hours, and that by $40, to get labor.
My guess is that you will come up with a figure around $3,200. And that you're officially an exploiter of labor.

Some price discrepancy can be attributed to differences in maturity of the individual businesses. A young business will price more aggressively than an established business. A mature business has a more predictable cash flow and a certain portion of the business might be considered lagniappe. As my Dad often says, "you can always go down on a price but you can never go up." Finally, whenever we are way low on a bid we fret about money left on the table and what we're going to need it for that we didn't think of.

Rhoades moving forward as Bulldogs football head coach
Published 8:52 am, Thursday, June 27, 2013
As Ryan Rhoades walked through the locker room and to the coaches' office at the Plainview fieldhouse Wednesday morning, he was reminded that two-a-day football practices begin in less than six weeks on Aug. 5. "Don't tell me that," he said with a laugh.
Rhoades, who is beginning his second year at Plainview High School, was named the head football coach and athletic director Tuesday. He had held the interim tag for two weeks as a coaching search and interviews were conducted. But in the end, it was last year's offensive coordinator who emerged as the man for the job.
Rhoades knows he must accomplish a great deal in a relatively short time. There are questions to be answered. Will he remain as the offensive coordinator, a job he held last year when the Bulldogs averaged more than 340 yards per game? Also, a coach will be hired to fill out the staff. Will that new hire be an offensive or defensive coach? Will there be any shuffling of current coaches' duties?
Right now, there are no answers to these questions, Rhoades said Wednesday. His first order of business is to evaluate the program. That should take about a week.
"Over the next week I'm going to kind of look at everything and try to re-evaluate where we are, where people are, and make sure that we're all in the correct spot," Rhoades said. "As of today, yes, I'd still be the play caller. That doesn't necessarily mean that's going to be set in stone. We're going to do what's best for our kids and give them the best chance to be successful."
Former head coach Marcos Hinojos, who was offered another position within the school district earlier this month, had been the defensive coordinator before taking the top job. His absence could create the need for a defensive coach. But, again, that's something Rhoades will try to figure out in the coming week.
"That's part of the evaluation over the next week," Rhoades said. "There will be at least one hire this summer. We're going to look hard to see what's going to be best for our team. Obviously, Coach H (Hinojos) had a big input on the defensive side of the ball. We're going to look and see what type of coach we need to plug in, whether it be an offensive coach or a defensive coach, to most benefit our program and our kids."
A possible reassignment of coaching duties also will come under scrutiny this next week, Rhoades said.
"Through the spring we had looked at some stuff as far as coaches coaching different positions," Rhoades said. "As of now nothing has changed. I sure wouldn't want to jump the gun on saying yes or no either way. Part of that weeklong evaluation process is to look at the strength of each of our coaches to see where they can have the biggest impact."
Rhoades was quick to credit the Bulldog players with their work ethic during the offseason. That's one reason he is optimistic about the coming year.
"I'd like to give credit to the guys we have who have been working out all summer," Rhoades said. "Lots of things were already set in place, and we're doing well. Our captains and our athletes have done a great job of continuing that work ethic, even through these last two weeks of transition. I'm really proud of them. In the remaining weeks, more than anything, what I'd love to see is just a continued work ethic from our athletes. But at the same time, I hope that there's some excitement that's generated because we're going to have a chance to do some special things this year."
The team captains are Wes McCutcheon, Brennen LeFevre, Tony Phan, Brendan Voss, Dakota Crawford and Desmond Vera. They have been leading the team during morning workouts and in 7-on-7 competitions against other schools. The number of players who lift weights every day and the success of the 7-on-7 team, which included a tournament title in Plainview this past weekend, are positive signs that the program could be on the upswing.
"I'm sure going to be positive about that," Rhoades said. "I think it is on the upswing, and that's a credit to our athletes. They've put in the time, and they're dedicated to being the best they can be. What more can you ask from a student athlete than to give their best effort?"
Still, the task of turning around a program that hasn't been to the postseason playoffs since 2006 is a tall one. Rhoades said a key is to change attitudes throughout the program.
"From my experience, the biggest thing to create a turnaround is to change the culture, to change the expectation within the building, within the locker room," Rhoades said. "I really feel like we've made tremendous strides during the spring to do that. I think our kids have bought into what we're selling, so to speak. And that's a credit to them. That's going to be the key, will our athletes continue to change the culture? We're going to help them change it. But it's up to them and they've responded to that and they've met that challenge so far."
It's an ongoing task, Rhoades said.
"The challenge doesn't go away," he said. "We don't arrive. We don't say, 'Hey, we finally got it.' It's a process that never ends. And so far we've been meeting that challenge and striving to meet it every day. So, I feel positive about what's going to happen. We're excited about it. We think we're going to have some opportunities to do some things that haven't been done here in a while. And that's what our expectations are."
Rhoades is happy to get the opportunity to lead the Plainview Bulldog football team and athletic department.
"It's a very humbling thing for me to be named permanent AD and head football coach," he said. "I'm very, very excited and I'm very, very thrilled to get to continue to work with the great student athletes that we have here in Plainview. It's almost beyond words. It's truly a humbling thing, and I truly praise the Lord that he provided this opportunity for my family and for this coaching staff to continue to impact young men and women through athletics."

Cool unexpected resource
I think this is ok, It has been posted in a few of my other groups. But PINTREST.COM has some awesome ideas ! I find my self going there first prior to doing a long exhausting search on the web. At first it looks like alot of pictures but those pictures are links. I have found so many cool homeschool ideas there,as well as printables that I have been searching for a while for . I am on there as Kenderly Woods if you want to peek at the homeschool stuff I have found there. Now I am doing pre K so I only have PK-1st grade on my stuff, but you will get the idea. Niki is on there too, she may be able to tell you a little about it too.
It is a site where you can "pin" things onto a "board" to come back to later. There are many members there and they all do it too. For some reason I have a hard time explaining it but. Lets say you are looking around on the web and you find something you want to come back too. You can "pin it" to your pintrest and it will have the link and a picture of the item and others from pintrest can see it. You can search pintrest for anything you are looking for and "repin" the items you like. I love it because instead of me searching for hours to find homeschool printables, I go to pintrest and 99% of the time I find everything I am looking for and more in about 5-15 mins.
oh yea, i started doing that thats so neat to look at people places!
"people places" ? whats that ? Is it just to early for my brain to work ? LOL

Hattie McDaniel is perhaps bestknown for her performance as Mammy, the sassyfoil to Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, one of Hollywood's most revered -- and controversial -- films. McDaniel's Oscar win raised hopes that theentertainment industry was finally ready to createmore respectful, multidimensional roles for blacks.But under the aegis of studio heads eager to pleaseSoutherners, screenwriters kept churning out rolesthat denigrated the African-American experience.
Where McDaniel's stature and popularity shouldhave increased after Selznick's masterpiece cameout, as was the case for her white counterparts, hersdeclined, as an increasingly politicized black audienceturned against her. "I'd rather play a maid than be amaid," is how McDaniel answered her critics. Yet herflippant response belied a woman whose hardscrabblebackground rendered her emotionally conflictedabout the roles she accepted. Here, at last, in a finelytuned biography by Jill Watts, is her story.
Watts, a highly praised researcher and writer,shares little-known aspects of McDaniel's life, fromher dealings with Hollywood's power brokers andblack political organizations to her successful civilrights battle to integrate a Los Angeles neighborhood,revealing a woman hailed by Ebony as anachiever of "more firsts in Hollywood" than anyother black entertainer of her time.

I wanted to link to images of those Indian embroideries, and spent about an hour looking for something similar. They were not palampore, although similar. Palampore are painted tree of life fabrics from 18th century India. Occasionally they were embroidered , as is this one in the Victoria and Albert museum. (copy and paste the link below)
But my memory is of gay brilliantly coloured red yellow and green floral and geometric
imagery. They were not kanthas. I don't think they were suzanni from central Asia, (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan) ...I was sure they were from India. This link will show the kind of colours I remember, and these are suzani. Covered with embroidery.
It was one of my first face to face exposures to world textiles and I might have mis remembered some of the facts.
I do remember the impact the hand work had on my body and ultimately my work.
I wanted to make art that made others feel that way too.

Next Time You Listen To Beyoncé, Pandora May Peg You As A Democrat (P)
Published 10:11 am, Friday, February 14, 2014
Pandora is going to start letting political advertisers target you based on your taste in music.
Next week, the Internet radio company is launching a new ad service so that political groups can figure out if you're a Democrat or a Republican, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Here's how it works.
Pandora first reviews the election results for your area. So if, for example, 80% of people in your area voted for President Barack Obama, Pandora assumes that 80% of people in your area lean Democrat.
Pandora will then label you based on your taste in music, and determine which artists are more frequently listened to in Democratic versus Republican areas.
People who listen to country, gospel and new age music more often live in Republican areas, according to Pandora. But fans of jazz, reggae, and electronic music more often than not live in Democratic areas. R&B fans lean more toward Democrats.
Pandora has 73 million monthly active listeners. As Pandora continues to battle streaming services like Spotify and Rdio for ad revenue, it likely sees this novel form of targeting as a way to attract dollars from election campaigns.
If you pay for Pandora, you can opt out of politically targeted ads. But those who use the free service won't be able to. So far, Pandora has signed up two political advertising firms, Precision Network and Bully Pulpit Interactive.

Wow, looks who's still alive (barely if you consider the near death experience I had while visiting Houston in early October..but we best not dwell on that.). Yep it's me, still here, still kicking and still cooking. If not as much as I was. I really need to do something about that.
I have so many wonderful things to share and make. (did I just put those in the wrong order? Oh well, to lazy to hit the backspace..sad I know but it's Sunday so..eh whatever.) Some dishes I made first before deciding if I was going to post about them because I'm finding the more I post recipes the first time I've made them, especially those I may have found on Pinterest or another site, I find other ways I would have preferred to adapt them or spruce them up.
Confession time: Coming up with main courses and desserts are easy. They pop in and out of my head like soap bubbles and there are plenty to decide upon. It's those pesky side dishes that are ever elusive. I know I know, there are bazillions of recipes out there, but the boys are picky and they don't like or dislike the same things. It's a challenge to say the least.
I haven't posted many side dishes so I thought I'd get crazy and go out on a limb here, (brave huh?) "Look Ma, no chicken!"
Drawing upon the list of vegetables both of the men in my house like, I picked up a head of cauliflower at the store on a whim with the only thought of, "I'll figure out something to do with it later."
No there's nothing wrong with your screen coloring and this isn't the latest Andy Warhol. This is real cauliflower.
I'm sure you are well acquainted with the white variety (which is actually not a variety at all but just a color distinction). But did you know it also comes in orange, green and even purple? Once I knew it came in purple I so want to grow some. Yes there are actual differences between them other than their pretty hues.
Green is often referred to as "broccoflower although there's no relation or cross-breeding (can I say that) between the two.
Purple derives it's color from the same antioxidants that give red cabbage & red wine their brilliant blushes.
Orange is the pick of the crop and the one I'd go for (as you should as well) if it were readily available. Orange has nearly 25 times the vitamin A as it's white sibling and developed naturally from a mutant in Canada soil. Thanks Kanucks!!
Alas Mr. Grocer only sells the white thus I was forced to stick with the commoner of cauliflower.
Personally I'm a big fan of cauliflower & it happens to be a veggie the boys agree on as well.
This recipe came about because I was pressed for time and Mr. Sweet Butter, like all weight lifting strength training warrior man types, likes to have a starch with his dinner for a balanced meal. I remember pinning a recipe for broccoli, cheese and rice and I distinctly recall feeling a little bubble pop somewhere in my cerebellum.
The trick to saving time with this is whenever you make a batch of rice for a dish prior to this one, make a double batch and store half for later. This is the later recipe and not waiting for the rice to cook will save you 30 minutes easy. Rice stores well for about a week so you can always make a batch ahead of time for meals during the week.
It's a very simple recipe to be frankly honest with you. Of course you'll need a beautiful head of cauliflower which should be steamed or microwaved for 3-5 minutes.
Here's an important piece of nutritional wisdom to file away and pass on. Never boil cauliflower. Microwave, bake, fry, broil, steam just don't boil. Boiling sucks out the cancer fighting compounds that are so prevalent in this unassuming vegetable at a rate that wil make you dizzy. Nearly half of those mighty microscopic warriors are zapped in ten minutes of boiling.
From there it's cake…well not really…Dice up an onion, cook up some bacon, fry them both in a pan; add flour, chicken broth, cream & stir until thick. Melt in some cheese, pour the whole great beautiful mess over the rice in a casserole dish, bake and serve.
This side dish was such a hit with my own warriors it can hold it's pretty cauliflower head high and proudly say it's among the elite recipes in my repertoire that will be made again, and again. Like a Marine, "the few, the proud, the repeat!"
What makes dishes like this so sublime is the ease of which one can change and adapt to any number of variations. Can't you just see adding spinach or mushrooms (even though I dont like them, you may), combining both broccoli and cauliflower (ooh how colorful).
Listen.. can you here it? There again. It's the sound of side dish bubbles expanding in numbers. I do believe there is hope for my side dish menus yet.
Go, create & enjoy. It's good to be back. I've missed you. You don't even want to know how many bloggers posts I have to go through in my inbox. I'll stop by and see what you've been up to soon. Promise.
Love Tara

What The Grocery Store Of The Future Will Look Like [PHOTOS]
Published 10:07 am, Saturday, June 21, 2014
Grocery stores are changing dramatically.
While much has been discussed about how tablets and other technology will be implemented in stores, the core merchandising strategy is also shifting.
As consumers distance themselves from the supercenter model, stores are becoming more intimate, with emphasis on prepared foods and local merchandise.
Traditional grocery stores will begin to disappear in the future, Christopher Studach, creative director at King Retail Solutions, told Business Insider.
"There will be the cost-focused stores and the lifestyle-focused stores," Studach told us. "What this means is very few conventional (or 'middle of the road') grocery operators left."
King Retail Solutions recently designed a cutting edge example of a lifestyle store, Fresh St. Farms in Canada.
The store is on the forefront of modern merchandising.
Here's the exterior of the store. Note it is much smaller than the average Supercenter. Consumers are seeking more personal, intimate experiences, according to King.
The grocery store has a high-end coffee shop that uses local and sustainable products. Offering a personal experience is key because grocery stores are competing with online retailers like Amazon.
The store has a grill with freshly-prepared foods. More grocers are offering high-quality prepared foods to make their store a destination in the digital age.

After several weeks of continued negotiations, Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH) and the United Steelworkers (USW) reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement late Tuesday afternoon.
Details of the agreement will be kept confidential until the approximately 2,200 employees in Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia represented by the USW and covered under the contract, have the opportunity to vote on the new proposal. These employees work in a variety of areas and occupations, including clerical, housekeeping, maintenance, dietary, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse aids, and some technical employees. Doctors and registered nurses are not part of the USW.
"ARH and the USW worked through some very difficult issues to reach this tentative agreement, which demonstrates our mutual commitment to our patients and employees," said Julius Pearson, ARH system director of employee and labor relations. "This tentative agreement reflects compromises by both parties which were made in the long-term best interests of all stakeholders including the communities we serve, and all employees who support the mission and the organization."
About Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH)
Appalachian Regional Healthcare is a not-for-profit health system serving 350,000 residents across Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia. Operating 10 hospitals, multi-specialty physician practices, home health agencies, HomeCare Stores and retail pharmacies, ARH is the largest provider of care and single largest employer in southeastern Kentucky and the third largest private employer in southern West Virginia.
The ARH system employs nearly 5,000 people and has a network of more than 600 active and courtesy medical staff members representing various specialties.

If you're in the Visual Effects sector of the industry and are located in California especially in the Los Angeles area, you know how devastating things have been over the past few years. Subsidized deals and tax breaks have drawn a massive amount of work away from local artists. Unable to find work in the heart of the capital of entertainment production, artists are faced with the option of moving to very distant locations throughout the US and the world in order to work in VFX.
This afternoon in Hollywood along Hollywood Boulevard, right where the Oscars will be taking place later tonight, hundreds of VFX artists have taken to the street in rainy weather to demonstrate and bring attention to this issue which is affecting the lives of many people.
Here's a link to the call to protest which in turn is linked to several other sites related to the VFX problem in Hollywood. The discussion on the AN Forum topic is here. The first video footage of the demonstration in Hollywood today went up on YouTube only a few minutes ago. Here it is followed by an excellent analysis of the problem also posted on YouTube today...

Abby Monhollen Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
Arizona State is a great school that does not get the credit it deserves. Its academic programs are very strong and are filled with professors who actually care about the success of their students. Additionally, there are a ton of opportunities for undergraduate research, even as a freshman. Arizona State also provides a fun atmosphere filled with tons of people, which makes it easy to find people with similar interests and passions. Since ASU is such a large university, it is very important to find something to get involved in. Whether it be a club, student government, sports, or Greek life, get involved!!! This will make the large university feel smaller and allow you to meet others with similar interests. For me, joining Greek life was one of the best decisions I made as a freshman. I have met so many amazing people and have been given so many opportunities through my sorority. As an out of state student I did not know anyone going into the school year but through Greek life I made tons of new friends whom I would not have met otherwise.

For the past few days the world has been in mourning. David Bowie has died. And like the rest of the world, Berlin is laying claim to its adopted son.
Bowie lived in Berlin in the 1970s, departing LA and Switzerland for something altogether more hedonistic. He was flatmates with Iggy Pop (oh, to be a fly on that WG wall) in swinging Schöneberg at Hauptstraße 155. There are stories of the two of them shutting down this club, throwing down beers at that Kneipe (bar) and recording at a legendary studio. But in ever-changing Berlin most of these locations have been transformed into hotels, sex clubs and – perhaps most bizarrely – a dentist office.
Bowie is not the first eccentric rock star to feel a sense a heimat with Berlin. The city has long emitted a pull for creative types, both home-grown and foreign. Here is a non-exhaustive list of foreign celebrities who've called Berlin home.
U2 – Another international rock group to record a seminal album in Berlin, U2 created Achtung Baby at Hansa Studios in October 1990. The nebulous origin story of their name has been linked to this period and the U2 UBahn line, although other stories claim it is due to the U2 spy plane, immigration forms or just a play on words. Interestingly, while the city was busy re-connecting, the band found its time in the city filled with discord. They eventually finished the album – one of their most successful – in Dublin.
Peaches – I remember the first time I heard the "Teaches of Peaches". Wildly provocative, no limit pop ignited my mind and had me listening under the covers so my college roommate didn't hear. Since then she has only become more fascinating with her gender-bending politics and shocking live shows. People who say "Berlin is over" have obviously not met Peaches as she continues to push boundaries in the city where anything goes.
Christopher Isherwood – The road to risque had been paved before performers like Peaches arrived. English writer Christopher Isherwood moved to Berlin in the 1920s where he was able to experiment with taboo subjects like homosexuality and communism. While here, he wrote The Berlin Stories which inspired the musical Cabaret.
Rufus Wainright – Another personal favorite, I've always loved Wainwright's dreamy, story-telling lyrics and was intrigued by insider song titles like "Tiergarten" and "San Soussi". He had also found a home for a time in Berlin. He credited the city with influencing his album Release the Stars. Wainwright declared, "Basically, a huge wave of German Romanticism descended on the recording process, and almost drowned me."
David Chipperfield – This British architect has been honored with every award imaginable and chooses to call Berlin home – Museuminsel to be exact. He was responsible for the reconstruction of the Neues Museum and Neue Nationalgalerie. One of his latest project, the James Simon Gallery, will serve as the entrance for Museum Island. His headquarters in Berlin has a staff of ninety and a personal residence.
Dan Savage – Though this sex advice columnist originally hails from Chicago, he has shared my hometown of Seattle since before I knew about the birds and the bees. He also spent a formative year in West Berlin in the turbulent time of 1988 to 1990. Clearly, he got to know the German people quite well. From an interview with the Exberliner,
I love German men. I like cold people – I know that sounds horrible – but I like a little more distance. The instant intimacy of Americans – the ability to bump into someone at an airport and two hours later at the airport bar before your flight being best of friends, exchanging phone numbers and making plans to see each other again – is something I've never been able to do.
This is an uneven who's who of celebrities that have lived in Berlin, but a partial answer to "Why do people move to Berlin?". The city holds something special, almost intangible, that works as a conductor for creativity. We are not the first, or the last, to feel its pull.
Do you have someone to add? Leave a comment below.

Matt Barkley Returning to USC: Why He's a Lock for No. 1 Pick in 2013 NFL DraftDecember 22, 2011
With Matt Barkley opting to stay in Los Angeles and finish his degree, the 2012 NFL Draft has become incredibly chaotic, especially if Robert Griffin III and Landry Jones decide to stay for their senior years as well.
But what has been made much less crazy is the 2013 draft, namely who will be taken first in it.
As of right now, no one really looks like they have a shot at challenging Barkley for it.
Tennessee's Tyler Bray and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson are the only two quarterbacks who could really compete for the top spot. The other main guy to look for is Miami offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson.
Running backs Michael Dyer and Marcus Lattimore could both contend for the first pick, but the value of a running back has seriously dropped in recent years. The NFL is a quarterback's league now, and it would be highly unlikely that anyone who isn't directly involved in the passing game goes above a quarterback.
USC's own Robert Woods could potentially be the top wide receiver taken, but teams typically don't use the first overall pick on one.
Defensively, no one really stands out from the crowd for 2013, assuming the big-name juniors all leave now.
Xavier Rhodes, cornerback for Florida State, could emerge as the top cornerback of the draft, but the only defensive back to be taken first overall was in 1956. North Carolina's Kareem Martin could develop into a superb defensive end, but he will have to have a season like Whitney Mercilus did this year to truly be a threat.
Any way you slice it, barring injury of course, Matt Barkley will be the top selection in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Gadget gifts for the holidays: Cnet's Top 10
Chronicle | CNET Reviews
Updated 2:02 pm, Monday, November 26, 2012
If you are looking to deck out your home with tech this holiday season, here's a list to consider. Cnet's expert editors have rounded up the top gifts to give any gadget-loving friend or family member - or yourself. With top-rated devices from smartphones and tablets to TVs and home theater, there's something here for everyone.
A 7-inch tablet makes a great gift, and there are two stellar options. Nobody's going to be disappointed to receive an iPad Mini. But the Nexus 7 does almost all the same stuff and costs about $130 less. For that reason, the new, smaller tablets are our top pick as a gift this year. If the iPad Mini fits in your budget, by all means, you should go for it. But we think you can give the less expensive Nexus 7 confidently.

Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: The ultrathin and light design is far more intimate and book-like than the larger iPad, and its cameras, storage capacities, optional LTE antenna and general functionality offer a full iPad experience. The screen's dimensions elegantly display larger-format magazines and apps.
The bad: It costs too much, especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina Display. The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5. Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy.
The cost: $329 to $550
The bottom line: If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
Google Nexus 7
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: It features a sharp screen, a comfortable design and great battery life at a low starting price. Android 4.2 adds some welcome and useful features.
The bad: Android still needs more tablet-optimized apps, newer games have frame rate issues and HSPA+ speeds seem particularly location dependent.
The cost: $199 to $299
The bottom line: With its excellent design, useful software features and low starting price, the Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer.
Samsung Galaxy S3
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: It comes fully loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE/HSPA+ 42 capability, a zippy dual-core processor, and a strong 8-megapixel camera. S Beam is an excellent software enhancement, and the handset's price is right.
The bad: The screen is too dim, and Samsung's Siri competitor, S Voice, was disappointing.
The cost: $100-$600
The bottom line: Pumped with high-performing hardware and creative software features, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is an excellent, top-end phone that's neck and neck with the HTC One X.
E-Reader Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: It boasts the best screen we've seen to date on an e-ink e-reader. The built-in light is great for nighttime reading, and the touch screen is a notch above the competition. Amazon's e-book selection remains best in class. Battery life is excellent so long as you turn Wi-Fi off.
The bad: It could be a tad lighter, an AC adapter isn't included (just a Micro-USB cable for charging) and there's no memory expansion slot. The ad-free version costs $20 more.
The cost: $199
The bottom line: With an excellent built-in light and Amazon's best-in-class e-book selection, the Kindle Paperwhite rises to the top of the e-reader pack.
Media Box Roku LT
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: The Roku LT is a small streaming-media box that costs only $50. It offers hundreds of streaming-video and -audio services, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, HBO Go, Vudu, Pandora, Mog, Rdio and MLB.TV. Roku also offers cross-platform search, capable of finding content across major streaming services. And the LT also supports older TVs via its analog video output.
The bad: For those invested in the Apple ecosystem, it doesn't offer the same tight integration as the Apple TV's AirPlay functionality. The Roku LT also lacks channels for YouTube and Spotify. And there's no Ethernet port, so you'll need a solid Wi-Fi signal in your home theater.
The cost: $48 to $50
The bottom line: The Roku LT is a killer streaming-media box, offering tons of content for just $50.
Smartphone Apple iPhone 5
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: The iPhone 5 adds everything we wanted in the iPhone 4S: 4G LTE, a longer, larger screen, free turn-by-turn navigation and a faster A6 processor. Plus, its top-to-bottom redesign is sharp, slim and featherlight.
The bad: Apple Maps feels unfinished and buggy; Sprint and Verizon models can't use voice and data simultaneously; the smaller connector renders current accessories unusable without an adapter; there's no NFC; and the screen size pales in comparison with jumbo Android models.
The cost: $200-$1,200
The bottom line: The iPhone 5 completely rebuilds the iPhone on a framework of new features and design, addressing its major previous shortcomings. It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe.
Television Panasonic TC-P55ST50
Cnet rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
The good: The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors and solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics. The styling is attractive and the feature set well-chosen, including excellent onscreen help options.
The bad: It uses more power than competing LCD TVs and doesn't perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It doesn't come with 3-D glasses, and it showed more crosstalk in 3-D than some competing TVs. The ST50 is available only in 50-inch and larger sizes. Three HDMI inputs is one fewer than most midrange TVs offer.
The cost: $1,259-$1,700
The bottom line: With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among videophile-grade TVs.
Speaker Sonos Play: 3
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: You can control the single-speaker streaming-audio system from any iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Android smartphone using a free app. It offers good sound. Its compact, elegant design cuts down on cord clutter, and it can stream Internet-based radio and audio services, plus your own digital music collection, from any Mac, PC or NAS drive. Also, it's simple to set up, particularly if you already own a Sonos system, and linked Sonos players (purchased separately) can cover up to 31 additional rooms.
The bad: The Play: 3 has almost no stereo separation and doesn't offer the detail and clarity of the step-up Play: 5. Also, although it can wirelessly interact with other Sonos products, you'll need a hard-wired connection or the $49 wireless Sonos Bridge accessory if it's your only Sonos component.
The cost: $296-$300
The bottom line: Although it doesn't sound quite as good as the larger Play: 5, the Sonos Play: 3 delivers a superior streaming-audio experience that you can control from any iOS device or Android smartphone.
Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: It has an excellent design and feature set, including an ultrawide-angle 20x zoom lens, GPS, and semi-manual and manual shooting modes, as well as fast shooting performance and improved low-light photo quality from previous versions.
The bad: Using all of the high-performance features, such as its near-pointless touch screen, can really cut into battery life. Also, photos are noisy and soft when viewed at 100 percent.
The cost: $244 to $356
The bottom line: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20's 20x zoom lens might be the main attraction, but the camera is all-around excellent.
Audio-Technica ATH-M30
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5
The good: The headphones offer good build quality and detailed, natural sound with good bass. They're also very comfortable and a bargain at around $60.
The bad: There's no integrated microphone for making cell phone calls. The extra-long cord makes the headphones less suitable for mobile use. They don't fold up like the ATH-M35 model, and the cord isn't detachable.
The cost: $50-$68
The bottom line: While they're not in the same league as the step-up ATH-M50 model, the Audio-Technica ATH-M30 headphones cost a lot less and offer impressive performance and decent build quality for the money.
Home Theater 3M Streaming Projector
Cnet rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
The good: It features an integrated Roku Streaming Stick in its compact, handheld design. It has built-in dual-band Wi-Fi and essentially the full functionality of a stand-alone Roku box, including streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, Mlb.tv, Vudu and HBO Go. There's also a built-in rechargeable battery, making it truly portable.
The bad: The built-in battery only lasts for a little over 1.5 hours. And while image quality is watchable, the resolution is limited to DVD-quality and the picture could be brighter.
The cost: $300
The bottom line: The 3M Streaming Projector packs the full power of a Roku box in a pico projector, making for an undeniably cool gadget, even with its limited battery life.

SAN DIEGO - The Alaska Lady Hoops' Elite Basketball Team wrapped up a successful tour through the Lower 48 on Thursday with a split of two games in San Diego to finish 13-5 on the trip.
Alaska Lady Hoops ended up sixth out of about 120 teams in the MidSummer Nights Basketball Tournament, coach Ryan Hales said.
After beating Yakima 65-40, the Alaskans lost the fourth-place game to the Bay Area Warriors, 43-40, before heading to the airport.
"The kids did pretty phenomenal," Hales said. "They were the talk of the tournament."
The team includes high school stars from across the state, including Brittnay Fenumiai and Karli Brakes of Juneau, Jenna Johnson of Wasilla, Anna Simmers of Anchorage Christian Schools, and Lori Clifford of Chugiak.
Hales said the trip was especially useful for players looking to secure a college scholarship. He said more than a dozen coaches from such Division I schools as Utah State, Gonzaga and Air Force were on hand.
"For most part, despite being from different high schools, they played together like they've been playing together since they were five," Hales said.

This post is one of two posts today in our Gnome Stew Doubleheader. Today's Doubleheader is about designing campaigns. Check out Phil Vecchione's article Doubleheader: The Triple Constraint of A Campaign [1] after reading this….
My father retired a few years back after several decades of being a union electrician for the Chicago Transit Authority. He was a foreman in charge of maintaining the signal services for several of the train lines. That was his purpose in life for the majority of his years. I asked him if it was worth it and he replied "No job is. No matter how much they pay you, no matter what they give you, they cannot give you back your life. Knowing that I spent my life doing my part to keep people safe is why I went to work each day. Not the job, but the results." I remember those words precisely. They caused me to have an epiphany of sorts.
We GMs are a busy bunch. There are plots to work out, encounters to calculate, settings to map, NPCs to stat up, and a plethora of other tasks that we do in order to run a fun game. Some systems allow you to do these tasks on the fly, but many systems require you to prepare them in advance. All of these tasks require a bit of mental energy, maybe some physical materials, and other resources that can all be replenished later.
These tasks also require time, and that is a resource that you cannot replenish. Not only can you not replenish your time, but you have no idea as to how much time you actually have to begin with. You have to spend your time wisely. Do not waste it on things that will not have results that you consider worthwhile. This is true for every aspect of your life, so why not apply it to your game prep work as well?
There are only two reasons to do prep work of any type when you are the GM:
1. You enjoy the prep work.
2. You think that the effort is worth the results.
Now if you are enjoying what you are doing you do not need any advice from me. Carry on you lucky soul!
Chances are though that many GMs do not enjoy all of the prep work that they are doing. So why are they doing it? My theory is simple: A lot of GMs fool themselves into thinking that an increase in prep work results in an increase of fun. We have an idea for something fun to include in our game but do not clarify the desired result. We then begin to add unneeded details to that initial idea which results in more prep work. We eventually lose focus as to why we thought this idea would make our game more fun to begin with and have now managed to swamp ourselves with prep work instead.
This is what happens when the designer becomes engrossed in the design and loses focus on the intent of the product. More importantly, it is a waste of your time.
Your prep work should always be done with a conceivable result in mind. Each piece of material that you prep must have an objective. If you cannot think of what the desired result is before you begin that prep work do not do the work. If you do have a result in mind do the minimum work required to achieve that result. Do not add to that idea or concept with supporting material once you believe that the result will be achieved. Move on to another task. Spend your time wisely by working towards desired results that you have clearly stated to yourself.
For example, if I want to include an NPC in my game that will pass a vital piece of information onto the PCs. I want this to be a memorable social encounter I have to design him. My desired result is to use the NPC to pass the information along only through some bartering and role playing. I will now design the components that the NPC needs for that result (for my tastes this would be a name, description, personality quirks, motive for passing the information, and what the information would be bartered for). Any game mechanics that are required can default to whatever the system uses as the norm for most beings. I do not need to roll up a complete character sheet for this NPC. I have saved time by just designing just what I needed to achieve the desired result with.
The benefits of being a results oriented designer are numerous. You know exactly why each part of the design was created. You can also quickly adjust any part of the design and know how it will affect the rest of your design. With every component of a design being modular and focused on a particular result you can also recycle those components into future designs. Focusing on the results can end up saving you time in the present and time in the future!
Plus there is the additional bonus of being able to keep your game on track without railroading your players. If your players do something unexpected you just modify the component to deliver the result in a way that is appropriate to the situation. Using my NPC example, if the players decide to use game mechanics instead of role playing by attacking the NPC I will probably have the NPC surrender the information out of fear and role play the scene out. The NPC will explain that he would have given the information up in exchange for something else. I will have achieved my desired result of passing the information along through role playing without disregard to the players' actions. That is a win-win situation.
Keep this in mind the next time you sit down to begin prep work for your next session. Know what your desired results are before you begin to design the components and not only will you have better results, but you will spend less time on prep work as well.
That is my opinion on the matter. What is yours? Be sure to share your own tips and tricks with the Gnome Stew community by leaving a comment below. Remember that the GM is a player too, so always make sure that you get your share of the fun at the table!

School children as young as 8 told they would be labelled 'racist' for missing school trip - Telegraph.
When I tell my friends abroad about life in modern Britain, they think I exaggerate. This story illustrates just how far our country has strayed from the path of freedom. How could any service provider think she had the right to use such words to her customers? How can such threats be consistent with a 'free' society?

Putting Love of God above Love of Neighbor
March 24, 2010
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." --Matthew 22:34-40
On March 6, 2010, I attended the Equal Justice Works Second Annual Public Interest Recognition Dinner with the theme, "Honor, Justice, Integrity." The purpose of the dinner was to raise money for the Loan Repayment Assistance Program Endowment (LRAP) at the Indiana University School of Law—Indianapolis. The purpose of this program is to assist their alumni who are practicing in the public interest field with paying down their student debt.
The keynote speaker was Indiana Attorney General, Greg Zoeller. In his speech he mentioned "church" several times-- once in connection with what he looks for in hiring staff. He touted his faith and religious beliefs and said that he follows the commandments of Jesus by putting God first and his neighbor second.
The honorees for the evening were Lisa K. Koop, Kerry Hyatt Blomquist, and Fran P. Quigley. Ms Koop is a managing attorney at the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) in Chicago Illinois where she supervises the asylum, counter-trafficking, and immigrant legal defense projects. She has also worked with the South Texas Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project in Harlingen, Texas, Farmworker Legal Services in Michigan, the Guam Asylum Project and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Ms Blomquist is the Legal Director for the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV), the founding Executive Director and current Director of the Protective Order Pro Bono Project, a frequent volunteer for the Homeless Project through the Indianapolis Bar Association, the Street Law Project through the IU School of Law—Indianapolis, and serves on the Board of Heartland Pro Bono Council.
Mr. Quigley is a former executive director of ACLU of Indiana. He is presently associate director of the Indiana-Kenya Partnership/AMPATH. He is co-founder of the Legal Aid Centre of Eldoret (LACE), a human rights law clinic devoted to representing HIV-positive individuals in western Kenya. He writes a twice monthly column for The Indianapolis Star and other publications. His recent book, Walking Together, Walking Far , has become one of the world's most comprehensive and successful responses to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
While Attorney General Zoeller saw fit to parade his religion and emphasize how he puts God first in his life, if any of the award recipients or the persons who introduced them mentioned their personal religious beliefs, it was such a fleeting reference that I do not remember hearing it.
Zoeller is quoted in an article in the March 22, 2010 Indianapolis Star titled, "Daniels Slams Bill on Health-Care Reform." [see blogs referencing Governor Daniels posted December 30, 2010 and January 13, 2010 ]
"There are significant questions regarding the federal government's authority raised by the legislation passed Sunday," Zoeller said in a statement. "I believe it is necessary that these ultimately be brought before the United States Supreme Court, and as Indiana Attorney General, I will join in the most appropriate legal actions available to represent the significant interests of our state in this matter."
Have Attorney General Zoeller, Governor Daniels, and others like them who parade their "God first" morality while seeking to deny their neighbors basic services read these comments attributed to Jesus in the same gospel?
"When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'
Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' Then he will say to those at his left hand, `Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?' Then he will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."-- Matthew 25:31-46

I don't normally go out of my way to slam teachers but in this particular case wonder if maybie JC's license to teach shouldn't be revoked. If I went around our empire hurling threats or acting out treason I probably wouldn't advance much as a non-republican. I don't know if the real problem is a lost 2,000 year old message or if the whole business never amounted to anything more than some unreal and vague blur to begin with.
#2 Terry (Guest) on Thursday March 25, 2010 at 2:13am
Regarding "eternal fire" did anyone out there happen to catch the news and see what RNC Chairman Steele and company have in mind for our House Speaker Pelosi? It seems for sure there are those out there who would deliberately jump the gun when it comes to allowing for divine intervention and eternal verdicts.

By Tibor Shanto – email@example.com
Goodwill: "a kindly feeling of approval and support: benevolent interest or concern"
I sales there is always talk of trust, easy to see why. But trust is not an instantaneous thing, nor can it be acquired by the pound, it has to be earned, demonstrated through actions, it needs to be reciprocal, and to the chagrin of some marketing folks, it is much more than an italicized bullet point in a brochure. Further, in sales, talk of trust brings with it an ever expanding range of opinions and advice from a number of "knowledgeable experts".
As you would expect, the wider the range of opinions, the less likely it is that any one single source has the right, or even the "righter" answer. With trust, it is better to master a given element, learn, and build a base of success from which you can move to the next set of elements. This then becomes the iterative road should define your sales career. Unless you can definitively prove that you have figured trust, and you don't need to evolve it further. (Hint number one, if someone claims to have the definitive answer, be suspect).
What I disagree with is the view held by some that people will not buy until a seller has established trust, or more important for sellers, that they cannot sell until they have developed trust. But since it takes time and action to establish trust, and buyers often have objectives with shorter timeframes, what do you do, especially in a quota driven reality?
The answer is Goodwill. As there is no "Express to Trust", think of Goodwill as the stations along the way; and great thing for you and your buyer, is that you can get sales as a result of building goodwill, avoiding the "what comes first the trust or the sale?" puzzle. We have all heard the sales expression "they don't care how much you know until they see how much you care"; goodwill allows you to do just that.
There are myriad of ways of building goodwill with a buyer, much of it will be dictated by what you sell and your buyers objectives, another reason to implement a disciplined opportunity post-mortem routine.
As with other aspects of sales you can build goodwill if you stop doing certain things. For example, there is a leading expert, whose stuff I used to like. I say used to because every time they send out useful information, it is merely a teaser, the meaningful part is always "locked" behind a form, with a lot more detail than most forms request. While I utilize forms, there is a bunch downloads I provide to prospects that don't require one. There are times I send prospects info and direct them right to the download, bypassing the required form. If the information is of use, I get an opportunity to engage, some goodwill, and a brick in building trust. Every time this this person writes me, I remember what a pain they are, and I score one against them.
Giving prospect access to something you normally save for clients; introducing prospects to some of your clients who could be their buyers; one company I knew had their product development folks available for a monthly Q&A for prospects the sales people selected, no selling just discussion. The choice is yours, both in terms of what and why, and the best why is it builds revenue now, and trust along the way.

'I don't care if your d*ck is 3x bigger than mine, Dwight Howard. I can hit 70% of my free throws.' @MedicatedMinute and other Lakers fans are not happy with how their season is unfolding. At 8-10 and 12th in the West, all of the Lakers fans who were guaranteeing championships back in August are suddenly quiet. The Lakers lost last night 107-105 to the Houston Rockets. Dwight shot 8-16 from the line and the Lakers claimed the free throws were not the issue. Right. You know its getting bad when Twitter fans are offering to help Dwight out on his free throw woes. @TheLightYear said 'i'mma teach Dwight f*ck ass how to shoot free throws… i'mma take that ***** under my wing…show him Like Mike 2, 3 times…' No word yet on whether or not Dwight will take him up on the offer.
