He said that the "pivotal answers" will come in EP6 and EP7. What he wants is theorization until the end.
And he said that EP5 comes with a trap: "This time, there will be a harsh trap, I believe those who have in some way penetrated to the core of story won't get tricked, those who haven't will probably think 'Huh?' I wish I could say more, but I can't(laughs)."

By what Ryukishi has said, I've finally sort of realized how different Umineko and Higurashi really are.
Spoiler for Higurashi Season 1:
In Higurashi, those last few arcs were for answers while completing the story. In Umineko, it'll be awhile before the story ends, and we might not even get the answers to everything.
Spoiler for Higurashi Kai\Matsuri:

Well, Ryuukishi has also said that since people are going to be expecting answers in the second half, he'll probably end up giving some.
No, he does not intend to make any arcs past the Core Arcs. In Higurashi, he was criticized sometimes for spelling out every detail of the answer clearly for the readers, and for revealing quite a lot in the second to last arc. In Umineko, it sounds like he plans to leave some major mysteries until the very end, and some things might never be explicitly explained.

The way of revealing the mysteries and everything sounds really interesting, but I really don't like when there are STILL mysteries and questions even after the story is over. =/

Now that I think about it, I realize something: even if Meta-Battler wins, what happens to him after?
Will he replace piece-Battler in the Real World? Will his memories be transferred to piece-Battler? (which would probably give piece-Battler a mental breakdown) Or will he just keep on living in the Meta-World?
I'd love for him to go to the Golden Land with Beato...;_;

Tbh I don't want Beato to die, that's why I made up a crack theory lol
I'm extremly Anti-Fantasy, although not 100% because of her. She and magic exists, though she can't do very much, like a powerless god. The only thing she can do is repeat the time frame of the game board. As the witch that watches Rokkenjima she saw everyone dieying. She is very hurt that the true culprit tries to make the people think she is the culprit, and as she watched Battler's efforts to prove that it was done by humans, she comes up with an idea: As she isn't allmighty and can't figure out the true culprit by herself, she carefully makes up a plan: Fuel Battler's hate against witches and help him revealing the true culprit. Lambdadelta is interessted in this idea and grants Beato a wish: The creation of the meta-world, where she can interact with Battler and use the red truth. But Lambda of course made a deal: Beato has to restrain her actions and act like a cruel witch towards Battler, be very carefully when using the red truths, being a good actress that listens to her director..
--> the 5th Game, Chiru, Battler discovers the true intentions of the honest and pure Beatrice (which is symbolized by hair-down Beato)
Well, I don't believe in it myself, of course it's dumb so I haven't thought about it further, but I wanted to share it with the BatBeato shippers ;0

Most of the Umineko fandom seem to take the meta-world for granted, since it's not required for the game to question the meta-world. I don't think that's right.
I've been reading what Ryuukishi's been saying at the moment, and I believe that he's purposely avoiding the main issue of "what are witches?" I take it that it's up to the reader to solve this mystery, and that mystery begins with a simple thought process: what is magic? If we believe what we see, we might end up with the Higurashi-style ending.
If we don't, then I see Umineko ending "outside of the meta-world", and in the actual real world, which doesn't allow for the magical or the supernatural. My theory has to do with that. However, most of english-speaking fandom would believe that such a thing isn't possible, and questioning the meta-world's existence doesn't have any reasonable logic or evidence behind it (Most of the attention in the story thus far have been on the gameboards and the meta-world, so we've gotten accustomed to it).

Here's what I propose:
Spoiler for Theory:
Although the reasoning is mine, this really isn't an original theory. I heard it was part of a larger scheme called the "Mariage Sorciere" theory, which is used to deny the meta-world.

What happens after that is anyone's guess but I believe all the games will be significant in figuring out how to reach a good end.
Good end for me = everyone receives love/companionship from the ones they care about before they die.
Survival is not necessary if the theme is that love is eternal (endless witch).

Wayne Frankel - 03/09/2009
I can read some essential parts of it already - her name was Ester Mirel daughter of Yermye (Sigiel) HaCohn, her husband was Abram Simon HaLevi, I think. And her name and her father's name is encrypted partly as large letters throughout the rest of the poem. But the quality of the image combined with my inexperience with Hebrew I can't quite get either the date of her death, or her age (either would do, since we know her birthdate.
I would appreciate any help that you can give with add'l information, mainly her date or year of death (or age).
Thank you,
Wayne Frankel

She died Friday 26th (Mar)heshvan 5672, which corresponds to 17 Nov 1911.ReplyDelete
The 2nd line after "Esther Mirel" finishes with "B'yom Vav"=Friday. This is followed with Ayin-Shin-Kof (Erev Shabbat Kodesh), then follows the date month and year finishing with the glyph that combines a lamed and a peh that means that the thousands are left out of the year. There is also a "stray" Shin which is probably short for "Year"

it reads "The modest and distinguished woman -Mrs Esther Mirel
daughter of Rav Yermiya the Cohen, of blessed memory, wife of Rabbi Avraham the Levi, Ziman. Died on Friday, Eve of Shabbat, 26th Mar Cheshvan,5672 (17 November 1911)"
That is the beginning. The rest is quite difficult but I can give it a go if you are interested.

To the Editor:
Iowa's hospitals and their 70,000 employees stand ready to care for their friends and neighbors 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Day and night, holidays and weekends, they ensure that patients have access to the care they need at the right time in the right place.
But our hospitals' ability to maintain the kind of access to services that their communities have come to expect is threatened. Legislators have now returned to Washington D.C. following the election and discussions are moving forward concerning the federal budget deficit. Hospitals remain concerned, as there is a possibility of cutting Medicare and Medicaid funding for hospital services as a means to reduce the deficit.
These proposals come during an already challenging time for all health care providers. Among the most-pressing issues hospitals face:
The high cost of the latest technology, equipment, devices and pharmaceuticals.
The struggle to attract and train enough doctors, nurses and other caregivers to our state and in particular our rural ares.
Meeting the needs of the growing number of seniors and other patients with multiple chronic illnesses.
Underpayments from Medicare and Medicaid that shift the real costs of these programs to employers and other patients.
Providing care for the uninsured and patients with inadequate health coverage. In 2011, Iowa hospitals provided nearly $600 million in charity care and dealt with more than $355 million in bad debt.
Complying with increasing regulatory and payer requirements that sap hospital resources and keep nurses and physicians away from the bedside.
Even as our hospital grapples with these challenges, rest assured that we are working to keep health care affordable through innovations focused on improving the health of high-risk populations, such as people with diabetes or chronic heart conditions. Hospitals are increasing the quality and efficiency of care and better managing transitions, case by case, as patients are served in different parts of the hospital, in physicians offices or at home.
And we're not alone in these endeavors. For example, hospitals across Iowa have formed the Iowa Healthcare Collaborative with physicians and other providers to better coordinate care, to work together to improve health care overall and to be accountable to the communities they serve. They are also carefully investing in technology such as electronic health records to improve care and efficiency.
Iowa's hospital leaders understand the fiscal challenges our nation faces. Additional cuts to Medicare and Medicaid funding for hospital services could mean: Longer wait times for emergency room care. Fewer doctors, nurses and other caregivers which squeezes access to care. Less patient access to the latest and most effective treatments and technologies. Fewer specialty services, particularly in rural areas, which compromises the delivery of community- based health care. Increased charity care and bad debt. Reduced financial capacity for continued hospital investments in community-based programs and services.
Iowa hospital depend on Medicare and Medicaid for more than half of all their revenue meaning cuts to these programs would impact every hospital and every part of the state and reverberate throughout the Iowa economy.
Iowa hospitals are united on this front and ask that the people of Iowa join them. The time is now for our elected officials to work together toward developing long-term fiscal solutions that will set Medicare and Medicaid on a path toward true substantiability for both their beneficiaries and the hospitals and providers who tirelessly serve their health care needs.
Our patients and communities derisive to know that the care they need will always be there.
Yours truly,
Pamela K. Delagardelle CEO Grundy County Memorial Hospital

Very diverse! You'll never be bored. The student life is vibrant and if there isn't a club for your interests you can make one. Great academics. Sports aren't as important as your grades
My first experience at Western University was living in residence. I loved it! I was lucky enough to have a wonderful roommate and become very close friends with the majority of my floor. I am originally from BC and I can truly say that Western has become a second home for me.
If there is campus crime, it is rarely spoken about - or at least I personally, have not been exposed to hearing about issues in this area. Walking home from night classes can be an issue for many students, but Western ensures that there are individuals who you can call to walk you home to make your walk more comfortable and safe. As well, throughout the campus, there many emergency buttons one can press when they feel they are unsafe.

Being Pissed Off Doesn't Mean You Have A Legal Claim
from the repeat-this-over-and-over-again dept
I have often felt that "palpable sense of injustice" when our firm is an investor in the innovator and a copycat competitor shows up. But there is a difference between being pissed and having a legal claim.Indeed, as we've written before, we recognize the emotional response that comes about when this happens. It's natural to get angry when someone copies you. But is it a reason to go legal? That's much more difficult to justify. In fact, as Wilson notes, often someone copying you can be a good thing:
Knockoffs create competition for the innovator and keep them honest. And they provide an opportunity for those that cannot, for some reason, work with the innovator.And, as he notes, if the original company is a true innovator, they'll keep innovating and stay ahead of the competition anyway:
If the innovator keeps innovating, as Apple and [YCombinator] have, they will do fine and will enjoy the spoils that come from creating the category and leading it.And that's really the key in all of this. Competition is not a static snapshot. Time doesn't stand still. Innovation is an ongoing process. Copycats are often a bit behind the leader, but as long as the leader truly understands its market, it's in a much better position to continue innovating and leading. The copycats act as incentive to increase that innovation, and that seems like a pretty good thing, if we believe that greater innovation is a good thing. People have a natural reaction where they think that "copying" is bad -- but if you look at the overall impact, and the fact that it results in greater innovation from the leader as well, it turns out the opposite is true.

Hernandez injury boost for in-form Phoenix
Wellington Phoenix playmaker Carlos Hernandez is set to return from injury for their clash with the Central Coast Mariners on January 12.
An X-ray on the Costa Rican international's left wrist after the 1-0 win over Melbourne Heart at AAMI Park in December showed a fracture that was expected to keep the 31-year-old out for 5-6 weeks.
But further investigation through a CT scan after returning to Wellington revealed it was an old injury and that an operation would not be required.
A stunning 3-1 victory at the Western Sydney Wanderers on New Year's Day saw the Phoenix record their third successive win after going the first 10 rounds without a victory.
Hernandez was delighted to be back in action so soon with the positive news also keeping his World Cup dream alive.
"I was very happy when they told me I could carry on playing," Hernandez said.
"While everyone at the club has been positive throughout there is a lot more confidence after three wins, and with two home games to come I wanted to be a part of it."
The news of Hernandez's return was soured slightly by a season-ending injury suffered to young full-back Louis Fenton against the Wanderers.
The New Zealand international has had shoulder issues all season, culminating in the dislocation of his right shoulder at Pirtek Stadium.
Fenton, who has another year on his contract, will undergo surgery next week in a bid to be fit for the 2014-15 season.

When I went to see "Pullman Porter Blues" at Arena Stage this month, not only was it an opportunity to see an excellent play, but it was also a chance to delve into my own heritage.
Set in 1937, "Pullman Porter Blues" is the story of three generations of black pullman car porters, the highly trained, uniformed men who took care of every need, around the clock, of first-class, sleeping-car passengers.
In the play, the grandfather, Monroe, appears happy to do the bidding of his white supervisor, but he has some tricks up his sleeve. His son, Sylvester, on the other hand, is an outspoken rebel, working undercover to help form the country's first black union — the International Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The grandson, Cephas, a pre-med student, wants to give up college to become a porter, over the strong objections of his father.
The play gives a realistic depiction of the grueling and often degrading work required of the pullman porters. Even so, the porters were held in high esteem in the black community. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and civil rights activist Dr. Benjamin E. Mays were once pullman porters.
By the 1920s, there were more than 20,000 black pullman porters working on trains across the country. Because they had to pay for their uniforms and meals, they relied heavily on tips and were therefore careful not to offend white passengers.
"Simple keeps you alive and the less they (white passengers) think you know, the more your tips will grow," the grandfather, played by Broadway veteran Larry Marshall, says in training his grandson. "Count everything … napkins, even grains of salt. … If anything is missing, they take it out of your check."
In talking to my siblings and mom about the play, I learned that I had relatives on both sides of my family who were pullman porters. I remember my mom telling us that as children, she and her siblings would go to the train station in Winnsboro, S.C., to see her cousin, Maceo Craig, who was a pullman car porter.
"We'd walk to the station whenever we knew his train was passing through," said my mom, Neresa Glenn. "We'd tell everybody, 'We're going to see Maceo,' who often brought us gifts. He was the only black (pullman) porter we ever saw on his train. I always remember him talking to us while sitting on the steps used to board the train. The last time I saw him was in 1963 at momma's (Lucy Craig) funeral."
In telling my sister, Teresa, about the play and my talk with mom, she reminded me that on Daddy's side, our cousin, William Boyd, whom everybody called Son, was a pullman car porter as well. She learned of his experiences from his 80-something-year-old daughter, Janie Francis, at a family reunion. Son was a combination of Monroe in the play, who secretly distributed the black Chicago Defender newspaper along the train's line, and his activist son, Sylvester, who wanted a better life for his son.
A lot of my family members, including my father, openly pushed for civil rights during segregation and often got in trouble for those activities. Other relatives were also threatened for less lofty reasons by the Ku Klux Klan and my sister said cousin Son often stepped in to help.
"When our relatives had to be sneaked out of town, cousin Janie said her father would sometimes get them out on the train," Teresa said. "She said her father would even send his identification passes to cousins in other cities to use so they could get on the train undetected, with no questions asked. He was so well known that he didn't need to show anything to board."
We both laughed when she recalled a story cousin Janey told her of a cousin I won't name, who in the 1940s was given Son's ID to come from South Carolina to Baltimore when he was in a bit of trouble. This cousin made a pit stop in Virginia because of a pretty woman. Being the confident black man that he was, he got in trouble there, too and had to be bailed out again.
After hearing these stories, I'm considering going to see "Pullman Porter Blues" again. The blues music, acting, media-infused setting and plot — coupled with the exhibit on the pullman porters outside the theater — are worth it. It's a well-told story that's an important part of America's history, and my family's history as well.

My name is Gary D. and I live in Fishers Indiana. I have a very busy life and no time to spend searching for the right properties to buy. That is why I'm so grateful that I have met David Shihadeh with Das Properties - he has helped me to acquire several properties at a great discount. David is a hard working person and really goes out of his ways to help busy people like me to improve their lives by finding real estate investments that provide high returns. He takes care of everything from finding the right property, getting the rehab done professionally, finding a reliable tenant to making sure the rent is collected every month. It's never been so easy to make my money work for me! Thank you David!"
Gary D.
Fishers, Indiana
I have 2 daughters. I told David that I wanted to pay for their college education. His personal consultation was invaluable! He showed me that by investing in two houses and reinvesting the rent I receive in tax deferred annuity I will have about $143,000 -$160,000 in 10 years - without even calculating any rent increase. Both of my daughters can go to college and I will still have the residual income of the 2 houses for my retirement.
David is very helpful and knowledgeable not only about real estate investments, but also about the financial market and retirement planning. I'm very grateful that I met with David, who really cares about my financial goals and future."

Anaheim, Ca
"We have bought 5 Properties from and through David Shihadeh, we been having good tenancy with a low turnover rate and positive cash flow for over 5 years We are receiving about 24% return on our investment, which is much better than in other housing areas." "We highly recommend Das Properties and David for anyone looking to make money in real estate without having to spend a lot of time. They are highly professional and well organized." by the way I have never seen any of my properties since I bought them because I'm too busy and I get my check every month Bruce G Corona, Ca
David is an excellent real estate investor who knows how to create a positive cash flow for his clients. David has many years of experience in buying and selling real estate investment properties. He has mentored many people in the industry including me. I bought eighteen single-family residences in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area under his guidance. I am totally thankful to him, because these properties are giving me a great return on my investment. I recommend David to anyone who wants to make big money and become rich with real estate investments."
Chuck E.
Irvine, California
"I have rented from David for 4 years and he is an excellent landlord. From day one, he addressed any concerns I have had. He is very concerned with the upkeep of the property. Whenever I need something fixed-he takes care of it immediately. I would recommend him as a landlord to anyone who asks. I am hoping to have a long term rental relationship with him."

The American Legion carnival came to a close Saturday evening after a successful week's run and with a larger attendance than any previous evening.

The Town Council Monday night lifted the state of emergency the town had technically been in effect since 6 a.m. of Monday last week, when it became certain that the island lay straight in the path of Hurricane Bob. Although town officials did not yet know whether federal and state funds would be available for cleanup programs, the council gave Town Administrator Robert Sutton permission to begin clearing public rights-of-way in the village.

Whose gonna be sad is the suspect who the police caught on tape! Check out the photos after the jump.
The 86-year-old actress and husband Harry Kullijian checked into the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel around 12:30 PM Thursday. Their four suitcases were put into the bellman's cart and left unattended for about 20 minutes. According to LAPD detectives, a thief took the smallest piece of luggage and left on foot toward Hollywood Blvd. Inside the bag was the $150,000 dress that Channing wore as Lorelei Lee in the stage production of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
Detectives have released surveillance photos of the suspect. He is described as a male African-American, about 25 to 35 years of age, about 6'1", medium build. Police have checked with pawn shops to see if someone tried to sell the dress, but haven't found anything yet. Because of the value of the dress, this crime will be considered grand theft, which is a felony.

28th Annual Quest for Quality: Held in high esteem
Which carriers and third-party logistics providers are held in high esteem in terms of service performance? our readers have cast their votes, and now it's time to reveal the winners of the coveted Quest for Quality awards.
The Logistics Management Quest for Quality (Q4Q) award is in its 28th year and is the most prestigious award in the transportation and logistics industry. WINNERS CATEGORIES
in the NewsU.S. Port Update Part 1: Infrastructure Shortfalls Driving Innovation Equipment leasing and finance industry confidence eases further in January ABI Research to release modules to guide manufacturers through digital transformation Other Voices: The robot revolution and five trends for 2019 and beyond Report: Amazon to roll out offerings to take market share from FedEx and UPS More News
The editorial staff of Logistics Management (LM) is thrilled to offer the logistics and transportation community the results of the 28th Annual Quest for Quality Awards. This year, 111 providers of transportation and logistics services have received the ultimate vote of confidence, posting the highest scores across our lists of critical service criteria.
For nearly three decades, LM's Quest for Quality has been regarded in the transportation and logistics industry as the most important measure of customer satisfaction and performance excellence. To determine the best of the best, LM readers rate carriers and third-party logistics (3PL) service providers strictly on the basis of service quality.
And, when you consider the operating environment in which carriers and 3PLs found themselves operating over the past 12 months, the editorial staff agrees that securing reader faith and walking away with a Quest for Quality Award in 2011 is nothing less than a monumental achievement.
The recovery from the Great Recession has proven to be more elusive and prolonged than any other in our history, and the slow growth presented another period of unprecedented challenges for carriers, services providers, and the shippers who put these companies to work—placing even more strain on the vital shipper/carrier relationship.
Although many industry observers are predicting strengthening for logistics services as we head through the second half of 2011, we're finding that the pieces may not be falling into place as quickly as we thought to support anything more than weak growth. Much of this uncertainty is translating into increased volatility, sending shippers out in a search for capacity during sudden surges in demand—and carriers in search of a more sustainable revenue model.
And, when considering these mounting challenges, we're happy to report that the following pages reveal listings of the carriers and 3PLs that shippers believe have been equal to the task. Quest for Quality winners are voted on by the readers of Logistics Management—the customers that put these carriers and providers to the test around the clock in countries throughout the world.
If fact, this year we had 4,575 logistics and supply chain decision makers place their vote. This six-month research undertaking results in eight lists that feature 111 transportation and logistics services provider organizations that have risen above the rest.
But before we present the awards to the 2011 winners, let's take a more detailed look at how we arrive at our list of recipients. One of the best things about the Quest for Quality is that it allows shippers to vote in the genre of services they actually use and fully understand; in turn, they can vote for the providers that they feel have best delivered on quality service in specific niches.
To determine who wins the vote, LM readers evaluate companies in all modes, choosing the top performers in categories including motor carriers, railroad and intermodal services, ocean carriers, airlines, freight forwarders, and third party/contract logistics services. From January through May of this year, LM and our Peerless Media Research Group surveyed readers who are qualified buyers of logistics and transportation services.
Source: Logistics Management, Peerless Media Research Group
* A ll scores are weighted. Weighted scores are determined by multiplying the average raw scores by the average importance of each attribute (1 = least important; 5 = most important).
In order to be a "winner," a company had to receive at least 5 percent of the category vote. The result of this overall effort is a crystal clear look at not only the overall winner in any given category, but a broad list of companies that finished well above the average.
Transportation service providers are rated on LM's five key criteria: On-time Performance, Value, Information Technology, Customer Service, and Equipment & Operations. Due to the nature of services offered by third-party players, a different set of criteria is used to judge this category.
Third-party logistics providers are rated on the following attributes: Carrier Selection & Negotiation, Order Fulfillment, Transportation & Distribution, Inventory Management, and Logistics Information Systems. The evaluation itself is a weighted metric. The scores take into account the importance readers attach to each attribute. Each year, readers are first asked to rank the attributes in each category on a five-point scale, with 5 representing the highest value and 1 representing the lowest value.
Our research team then uses those attributes' rankings to create weighted scores in each category. For example, readers have historically placed the single highest value on On-time Performance—and they've done so again in 2011. If you look at the table on page 29, you'll see that it was rated between 4.5 and 4.8 across the various carrier categories.
The second most critical attribute again this year was Value, followed by Customer Service. According to our 2011 findings, shippers are putting slightly more weight on Equipment & Operations than on Information Technology (IT). This may signal that more logistics operations are finding success with recently implemented transportation management systems (TMS) and related IT solutions.
After readers have ranked these key attributes in order of importance, they then grade each provider that they currently use on each of the five core Quest for Quality attributes, rating them on a scale of 1 to 3 (1=poor, 2=average, 3=outstanding).
To produce a weighted score, the research team then multiplies the provider's average scores for each attribute by the attribute's ranking. Next, the weighted scores are calculated for all five attributes for a given vendor and added together to create an aggregate number.
Companies score a quality win when their total scores exceed the average total weighted score in their category. But, remember, providers must receive a minimum number of reader responses to qualify for a win—at least 5 percent of the total base for the category.

Are you always worried that no matter how hard you try it's never good enough? Do you feel you must give 100 percent on everything or be considered a failure? Do you delay completing projects because you can't get them right? Avoid giving opinions because they may sound stupid?
If so, you may be a perfectionist. Perfectionism refers to self-defeating thoughts and behaviors which cause people to set unrealistic goals, fear making mistakes.
Some perfectionism is good. It can advance your career and encourage excellence and pride in accomplishments. But excessive perfectionism may make you afraid to try. You worry about disapproval. Productivity and creativity diminish.
Perfectionist attitudes can interfere with career success. Perfectionism leads to stress, impaired health, troubled interpersonal relationships, and reduced feelings of accomplishment and confidence. Other consequences include procrastination, fear of risk-taking and rejection, conformity, self-consciousness and doubt. Perfectionists are vulnerable to depression, performance anxiety, pessimism, compulsiveness, loneliness, disappointment, impatience, frustration and anger.
Perfectionists differ from healthy strivers. Strivers set goals based on their own needs and desires rather than external expectations. Their goals are realistic, potentially attainable. They enjoy the process of pursuing tasks rather than focusing solely on results. Their reactions to failure are limited to specific situations rather than generalized to self-worth. They accept criticism, and bounce back from failure quickly and energetically.
Perfectionists believe:
- It's possible to do things perfectly.
- Mistakes must not be made.
- The highest standards must always be met.
- Failure to reach goals equals personal shortcomings.
- People judge others negatively if they see flaws.
- Needs are secondary to goal attainment.
- Everything is black or white, right or wrong.
Overcoming Perfectionism
-- Accept yourself. Acknowledge who you are, not who you "should" be. List accomplishments and personal qualities that deserve recognition. Ask friends for feedback and support. Take pride in successes.
Forgive mistakes. Accept the "ideal" as a guideline, goal to be worked toward, not to be achieved 100 percent. Give yourself credit for good performance and effort, even though not perfect. Use thought stopping techniques when you mentally scold yourself for not being "good enough." Reward yourself for progress.
-- Challenge and eliminate self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. Realize perfectionism is an unattainable illusion.
Identify irrational thinking patterns, and dispute deceptive thoughts. For example, "I'll get a reward if I perform perfectly. "Observe whether superiors always notice when you do things perfectly. When you recognize the inaccuracy of these beliefs, reevaluate. For example, if you decide you feel good when performing certain tasks perfectly, continue this behavior. But, if nobody notices, you may decide to skip perfection.
Write answers to questions such as, "What perfectionist characteristics do I have? What irrational beliefs do I possess? How do these impede my career advancement? "What's the worst thing that could happen if I don't complete things perfectly?
Try replacing one self-defeating thought or behavior with a more positive alternative one every week. Believe you'll succeed. Even though you're not the model, you're moving in a positive direction.
-- Set attainable goals based on your mission, needs, values, strengths and accomplishments. Set each new goal one level beyond your present level of accomplishment. Avoid all or nothing thinking. Reassess plans.
Outline realistic, flexible time frames for achievement of goals. Be patient as you work toward goals. Enjoy the process and learning involved.
Evaluate success in terms of what you've accomplished and degree of enjoyment. Experiment with standards of excellence. Instead of aiming for 100 percent, try 80 percent for some projects.
Recognize that mistakes are part of the process. "Imperfect" results don't lead to punitive consequences. Learn from mistakes. Acknowledge your right to make them. When you stop making errors, you stop learning.
-- Set strict time limits on tasks. Prioritize tasks Outline activities that will move you toward your goal. Meet deadlines. When time is up, move to another activity.
-- Be objective about criticism. Don't take it personally, Accept criticism. Learn from it.
Remember, a healthy achiever has drive. A perfectionist is driven. Pablo Cassals advises: "The main thing in life is not to be afraid to be human."

verb (tr)
Word Origin for meter
also metre, "poetic measure," Old English meter "meter, versification," from Latin metrum, from Greek metron "meter, a verse; that by which anything is measured; measure, length, size, limit, proportion," from PIE root *me- "measure" (see meter (n.2)). Possibly reborrowed early 14c. (after a 300-year gap in recorded use) from Old French metre, with specific sense of "metrical scheme in verse," from Latin metrum.
also metre, unit of length, 1797, from French mètre (18c.), from Greek metron "measure," from PIE root *me- "to measure" (cf. Greek metra "lot, portion," Sanskrit mati "measures," matra "measure," Avestan, Old Persian ma-, Latin metri "to measure"). Developed by French Academy of Sciences for system of weights and measures based on a decimal system originated 1670 by French clergyman Gabriel Mouton. Originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the meridian.
"device for measuring," abstracted 1832 from gas-meter, etc., from French -mètre, used in combinations (in English from 1790), from Latin metrum "measure" or cognate Greek metron "measure" (see meter (n.2)). Influenced by English meter "person who measures" (late 14c., agent noun from mete (v.)). As short for parking meter from 1960. Meter maid first recorded 1957; meter reader 1963.
"to measure by means of a meter," 1884, from meter (n.3). Meaning "install parking meters" is from 1957.
The highly organized rhythm characteristic of verse; the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line. (See iambic pentameter.)
The basic unit of length in the metric system; it was originally planned so that the circumference of the Earth would be measured at about forty million meters. A meter is 39.37 inches. Today, the meter is defined to be the distance light travels in 1 / 299,792,458 seconds.

Warriors could be derailed by Rowell's power play
By Monte Poole
Staff columnist
Article Launched: 10/14/2008 05:53:53 PM PDT
IT RIPPED THE heart out of the Raiders, snatched the spirit out of the 49ers and is threatening to send the Warriors back to irrelevance.
Ego, unchecked and misused, is a beast.
Whether it destroys the Warriors is up to team president Robert Rowell, who is flexing a level of muscle the Dubs had not exposed to the public since Don Nelson sought to put Chris Webber in his place before elbowing him out of town.
Rowell, with the blessing of principal owner Chris Cohan, came forward to announce a 30-game suspension of guard Monta Ellis for violating a provision of his $66 million contract and initially lying about the circumstances. It'll cost Ellis about $3 million, but the Warriors were within their rights to take action. It was harsh, maybe too harsh.
Where Rowell really puffed up, though, was in his characterization of the roles of coach Don Nelson and, to a greater degree, general manager Chris Mullin.
Mullin apparently urged Cohan and Rowell to show more compassion toward Ellis, who while riding a moped in August sustained an injury to his left ankle that required surgery. Mullin's viewpoint is colored with the knowledge that Lakers forward Vladimir Radmanovic was injured during a banned activity, lied about it initially, was fined $500,000 and conceded it was fair. Then, too, Mully battled alcohol abuse early in his career and owes much of his current status and the positive direction in life to the compassion of an NBA executive — Nelson.
Yet Mullin had no influence here. He was heard and ignored.
Rowell made this abundantly clear to reporters over the weekend. He's running the franchise for Cohan, speaking publicly for a boss who won't. Bobby was in charge, an executive in full.
It was the kind of swaggering, roaring clout last glimpsed around here in 2003, when John York, compelled to show he was in charge of the 49ers, abruptly fired Steve Mariucci — after a division championship season.
This came one year after vanity induced Al Davis to trade Jon Gruden — mere weeks after the Raiders' first consecutive playoff seasons in a decade.
The 49ers have had two coaches and zero winning seasons since Mariucci (57-39, four postseasons in six years) was bounced. The Raiders have had five coaches and one winning season since Gruden (38-26, two postseasons in four years) was sent away.
The Warriors, meanwhile, had no winning seasons and zero postseason appearances in 12 years of Cohan ownership — and were roundly criticized and ridiculed — until management was turned over to the Mullin-Nelson team.
And now, after the team's first playoff appearance and back-to-back winning seasons, it's Rowell and Cohan with all the answers?
It's widely known that Stephen Jackson would like a contract extension, that Rowell is at the center of negotiations, with Mullin on the periphery. Mullin is entering the last year of his contract, there has been no serious discussion regarding an extension and, according to Rowell, Mully's own performance is under scrutiny.
As is that of Nelson, also in the final year of his deal. We say with certainty, too, that Cohan and Rowell were more than mildly irritated by Nellie's clumsy attempt at a cash grab during the summer of 2007.
In other words, what was going to be a challenging Warriors season now has enough subplots to engage the mildly interested and be endlessly fascinating to the morbidly curious.
Call it ego or power-tripping or, as Pat Riley does, The Disease of Me. It is undeniably behind the steep declines of the Raiders and 49ers, and now it's baring its fangs within the Warriors.
Rowell, who joined the Warriors as a 28-year-old assistant controller, has shown the ability to sell the club. Also, at Mullin's urging, he played an important role in persuading Cohan to embrace the return of Nelson.
But Rowell must be careful now, for this is a battle he can lose. Mullin has had two winning seasons in four as GM. He's popular in the Bay Area and around the NBA. His heist of Baron Davis is among the greatest trades in local history. Sentiment is with him.
If Rowell studies the recent fortunes of our NFL teams, he might find lessons from which he can benefit.
Warriors could be derailed by Rowell's power play

Saying bad things can be good business, "Big Brother" is learning.
After a week of controversy, the Sunday episode of CBS' long-running reality series aired homophobic and racist remarks from two contestants, Aaryn Gries and GinaMarie Zimmerman. As a result, ratings zoomed 11% in the key adults ages 18 to 49 demographic, compared with the season premiere a week earlier, according to Nielsen.
A total of 6.2 million viewers tuned in, enabling CBS to walk away with the 8 p.m. hour, early numbers showed.
PHOTOS: Cable versus broadcast ratings
The comments from Gries and Zimmerman had aired on the show's online live stream, but it had been unclear whether CBS would actually air the material on broadcast. Last week, the network issued a statement distancing itself from their remarks; the pair also lost their regular jobs back home as a result.
Gries told an Asian American contestant to "go make some rice." Zimmerman, who had worked as a beauty-pageant coordinator, used the N-word in criticizing welfare.
Despite the controversy, though, "Big Brother" isn't off to a great start. Ratings for the first four episodes represent the show's worst opening average since 2008.

We in the whisky world loves us some back story. It's not enough that a whisky is just plain good; we want a story. We revel in the tales of the master distiller who happened on an old barrel in the warehouse or the storied legacy of a Bourbon, even if in reality it's only been around for five years. The narrative is part of the experience; it gives us purpose, perhaps the sense that we are doing something more than just drinking something; we are part of the legend.
Well, the folks at Glenfiddich have done us proud with the Snow Phoenix. The much repeated story is that in the winter of 2009-2010, there was so much snow in Scotland that the roof of one of Glenfiddich's warehouses collapsed "leaving maturing oak casks of Glenfiddich exposed to the winter sky." The Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix, "risen from the Great Warehouse Collapse of 2010," is a blend of whiskies from the casks in the exposed warehouse.
Now I love a good story as much as the next person, but I have to say, this is a pretty silly gimmick. None of these barrels was opened or spilled, so none of the whisky within was exposed to the elements. The worst you can say is that some of these barrels were exposed to the cold Scotland air, and my guess is that they were exposed for a pretty limited time, compare to say, Shackleton's Antarctic whisky. Other than causing some clouding, cold air really shouldn't have much effect on whisky, so I'm not sure I see why this would make a difference to the flavor, but it's a good story, and hey, Snow Phoenix sounds a lot better than Whisky That Was Briefly Very Cold.
Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix, 47.6% abv ($86)
The nose is sweet and fruity, like fruit hard candy. The palate follows suit. It comes on strong like strawberry candy, which yields to traditional Glenfiddich malt. The fruit comes off as more cherry like in the finish with a bit of sherry influence as well.
If you like them sweet, this one is for you; it's a bit too much so for my tastes but it's nicely drinkable, and of course, it's got a great story.

Whiskey Wednesday: Colder Than Your Average Whiskey - Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix

I was hoping to try this in Chicago next week at WhiskyFest, but they aren't pouring it. When I first read about the roof collapse I was intrigued but certainly also feeling as though it could be a gimmick. This doesn't change that opinion, but as you mention it's still cool to read about.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it soon. Not too bad of a price for all of the back story and hype. Not cheap obviously, but not $120 either.

Rex had made a profession of faith in Christ and was of the Baptist/Pentecostal faith.
He enjoyed spending time with his family and visiting friends and was always willing to help anyone. Rex loved and was very proud of his daughters and thought they were his greatest gifts. Then his grandchildren arrived and he was one proud "Papa." He thought Kaelan was the most beautiful girl in the world, Triston was the most humorous and could make anyone laugh and, of course, knew more about sports than anyone else, and he said Cole was the gentle one who was always willing to help others. He loved them dearly and was always bragging about them to other people. He enjoyed being with all of his and Valerie's family, playing tricks and telling wild stories to his nieces and nephews.
In his spare time he enjoyed hunting, fishing, going to flea markets and antique stores.
Rex was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and will always cherish the many good times we had together.

Interview by Bill Dunlap
I get the feeling that almost nothing is ugly to you. No matter how trashed or burned-out some urban landscape is, you seem to find something beautiful or inspiring about it. How do feel about those rough streets you show in your paintings?
That's kind of true, I like to try to look at the world around me and try to see it from a variety of perspectives. I like going to different parts of the city and walking the streets, taking photos of the signage, store fronts, and people that inhabit those areas. A few of my favorite areas or streets around Oakland are in the Fruitvale area, San Leandro Blvd and East 14th Street, also in North Oakland close to where I live, Broadway auto row, Telegraph Ave., Macarthur Blvd. I'm drawn to these areas because that's where I feel most comfortable. Some of the what inspires me about these areas are the unique people that are usually walking the streets, the hand painted signage, the cheap and almost carnival like marketing, like the rows of pennant flags and striped tents at the used car lots.
You often depict animals going about their business with the dignity of humans. And sometimes you show animals feasting on humans, as if the animals were turning the tables on humans, and showing them what it's like to be treated as a mere food source. How do you feel about animals and our relations with them?
Part of it is as you said "turning the tables on humans", but it is not only about the food source. It's also about showing how humans keep taking away more and more of the animals' natural habitat. At the same time we are also making our environments less natural.
Most of the time I use the animals in my artwork to be symbols or metaphors. I like to make my artwork have narratives that are open to interpretation depending on who is viewing it. I usually have an idea when I start producing my artwork, but a lot of it will come from my subconscious while I'm making it.
Your materials and process often seem very rough and immediate, reminiscent of folk and outsider art. Are you consciously avoiding a more "polished" look?
Yes, when I've tried making my paintings more clean or neat I don't end up liking the final piece as much. The way I draw and paint just feels natural. I think if my artwork was more polished it wouldn't fit as well with the subject matter either.
You can see more of Jake's work on his web site http://www.jakewatling.com and in the group show "Full Deck: A Short History of Skate Art" at Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek. The show is up until September 13, 2009. Jake is also going to be painting an alley mural behind San Francisco's Receiver Gallery.

The fly-half and stand-in skipper is preparing for the visit of fellow promotion hopefuls Brighton this weekend, and it is these top of the table games he cites as most important to the Dons.
Wimbledon went into a two-week break last weekend on the back of one defeat in nine games, and a 27-20 win at previous leaders Gravesend.
The rich vein of form leaves them fifth in the table, 16 points behind leaders Chichester – and Hallett is predicting an exciting final eight games.
"After each game you're always hoping that the teams above you have lost, but what is most important is how we perform against those teams," he said.
"We have Brighton this weekend, but we still have to play Sidcup and Chichester at home – sure Chichester are 15 points clear, but they lost at home to Cobham two weeks' ago.
"This league has been up and down, it is so unpredictable because every team has struggled when they have not been able to field a full strength side.
"Even the games against Staines and Haywards Heath at the bottom are physical games and you have to be on your game to win, otherwise you can get turned over."
Wimbledon went down 18-8 at Brighton when the sides met in October, and Hallett, who bagged a penalty in the defeat, was impressed with the south coast outfit.
He said: "Brighton pretty much showed us how to play rugby that day. They did everything well, they did the basics right and they had a bit of flair out-wide.
"We're expecting a very physical game from them. It will be a very good challenge."
He added: "Hopefully the weather will dry up, and we can get some quick ball and play the way we like to play."
"What has been most impressive about us over the past couple of months is that we have that forward power and physicality to our game – it is not just a case of going wide and having that one game plan.
"Brighton are a good team who have surprised a lot of sides this season, and we have to take them on the merit they deserve."
