A Star Wars book that is scary?
For that, there are only two I can think of off the top of my head that may fit and they are both zombie books . . . 'Death Troopers' and 'Red Harvest'. And yes, I own every Star Wars book written . . . well at least all the ones written prior to Disney buying out Lucas and ruining the Star Wars universe.
But enough on that note, my favorite Sci-fi series:
1) The Star Wars Expanded Universe (all 200+ books together as a continuous series)
2) Orson Scott Card's Ender series
3) Stephen King's Dark Tower series
Runners Up:
Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series
John Ringo's Hot Gate series
Harry Turtledove's Crosstime Traffic Series
Daniel Perkarek's Ultimate Adventure trilogy
Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide (all 5 books)
& H. Piper's Paratime stories
and many many more . . .
Best stand-alone Sci-Fi Novels:
1) Douglas Adams 'Shada' (A Doctor Who Novel)
2) John Ringo's 'The Last Centurian'
3) Steven Coont's 'Saucer'
ummm, well I kinda get sucked into series more than stand alones

Asimov's books are great. I haven't read all of them, though, but he had some pretty great series, especially his Foundation series.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is really funny and profound.
Douglas Adam's stuff is mostly harmless. Some of it's good, though.
There was another one, but I forgot what it was.
Arthur C. Clarke's "2001" series was great.
For some reason I really liked "Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward. It's about a civilization that lived on the surface of a neutron star... heavy, man...
"Logan's Run" is OK, I guess. I read it when I was a kid. Seems like "Hunger Games" and that other one... ummmmm... that Mocking Jay series, whatever it is... they're pretty similar to Logan's Run, so if anyone out there likes those series and haven't read "Logan's Run," well... get to it.
I also loved Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet when I was younger. I'd probably still love it. I hear there's a film adaptation of "A Wrinkle in Time" coming out soon.
"Micromegas" by Voltaire, along with a bunch of other French titles and authors... "Planet of the Apes" was a French novel before it was a film series. The French! Masters of satire and doom jazz!
Man, I need some new books.

Dune, up to and including God Emperor. Screw everything after that.
The Hyperion Cantos takes a very close second place.
And it's a bit newer but I really liked Ready Player One. Can't wait for the movie but accept that it's going to get messed up.

Gordon R Dickson - any and all Chylde Cycle novels really got me into the SF genre
John Norman - banned as politically incorrect, his Scifi-fantasy GOR novels were quite intriguing as a young man, a very weird combination....
Of course, we're talking 30-40 years ago. Lately, it's been Jim Butcher's Dresden series.

I've never gotten into Terry Pratchet, though he comes highly recommended. I liked Logan's run too - but I thought that was just because of Michael York and Richard Jordon. LOL.
Didn't know that about the French - Doom Jazz you say.

|Ullscarf in the wind and rain
I had a day off today. The weather wasn't great but I was keen to get out. I headed to Stonethwaite with a plan to head up the windy path of Lingy End and then head over to Ullscarf and back the Greenup Gill path. It stayed dry to Dock Tarn and then the heavens really opened. I seem to remember that the conditions were a bit difficult the last time I was up here.
|At the start, Eagle Crag's distinctive profile with Greenup Edge in cloud
|at the top of the initial climb looking back over Langstrath
|Dock Tarn
|looking back, cloud very low
|wet top of Ullscarf
I had in my mind that I needed to go over High Crag and follow the wall. Looking back at the route I took, this was the correct strategy but I should have turned along the wall rather than going all the way to the tarn.
I used the sophisticated navigation technique of keeping going as long as I was heading to higher ground for the next mile or so, picking up the junction of fences at the top.
Ullscarf summit looks on the map as though it is along a fence line. It is actually an old fence with just a series of iron posts still in place. These made handy navigations tick points as I continued on the path along to Greenup Edge.
There is a shortcut track from the main track which allows you to cut the corner off. I managed to pick this up and then followed the cairns down past Lining Crag on a treacherous, particularly so when wet, pitched path. There are several Gills to cross. I didn't waste time by trying to find a dry way across and eventually got onto the track back to Stonethwaite.
|dropping back down below the cloud
|on better ground now, heading back to Stonethwaite

Good Men vs Bad Law is the story of members of the Canadian Unregistered Firearms Owners Association (CUFOA).
This documentary chronicles CUFOA from the very beginning, and discusses why they were founded, why their membership opposes Canada's Firearms Act and follows members of the CUFOA executive to Ottawa for their historic January 1, 2003 Protest on Ottawa's Parliament Hill. While the outcome of that protest wasn't what they expected, it did teach them alot about the government they opposed and the lengths to which that government would go to avoid the issue.
CUFOA is the only group in Canada actively promoting peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience against Canada's Firearms Act.
Interviews with President Ed Hudson, Secretary Jack Wilson, and CUFOA Directors Joe Gingrich, Al Muir and Bruce Montague and Bruce's wife Donna.

Do Your Callers Get Compassion or Condescension?
Remember the parable about six blind men and an elephant? Each touched a different part of the pachyderm and walked away with very different impressions of what it really was. All were correct in what they had experienced but each was wrong in his understanding of the whole.
Telephone communication can be much like the experience of the six blind men. Neither party to the conversation has the entire picture. Staff rarely have the full picture when patients call. They must do their best to interpret the signs, signals, and messages that they receive during the telephone transaction. Sometimes these are loud and clear, other times they are vague and distant.
The business employee can't see the stress that the caller is under. "Dale" is a single dad trying to juggle a full-time job and the needs of three children. He hopes the dental office staff understand that he really can't take off work three different times to bring his children in for separate appointments. He needs to talk to someone who isn't going to tell him that his request can't be accommodated for months, unless he's willing to be flexible. Flexibility is not something Dale has the luxury of enjoying. "Helen" is an elderly woman who has trouble hearing. She needs to talk to someone who will be patient with her. "Tara" has 10 minutes to get her appointment scheduled while on break. She doesn't have time for chitchat. Each patient brings his/her own stresses and challenges to every phone call they place to your practice.
Below are what I consider to be the Top 5 most important skills for ensuring a positive practice/patient interaction every time you pick up the phone.
1. Listen. Stop talking and listen. When you really listen to the patients, you are focused on what they are telling you. You're not thinking about what you are going to say to them as soon as they pause to take a breath, or what you have to do as soon as you can get them off the phone. Listen to the tone of their voice as well as the words they choose. When the caller is in a hurry, don't take it personally. It's not directed toward you. It's reflective of their situation. Remember they need your help and they need it now.
2. Be patient. Don't finish the patients' sentences for them because you have more things on your plate than just this phone call. It will take some a little longer than others to explain what they need. But your patience will pay dividends in the relationship the practice builds with the patients.
3. Effectively answer the questions. A patient calls and asks: "Do you have any Saturday openings?" This is not an invitation to explain the history of the schedule or your personal opinions. "No, we used to be open on Saturdays, but we had so many no-shows and cancellations that it just wasn't worth it. We were all giving up our Saturday mornings for nothing."
Instead, answer the question and choose positive language. "We have several convenient patient times available through the week including early morning appointments beginning at 7 am on Mondays and Wednesdays and evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays." This is much more effective than answering the question "Do you have Saturday appointments?" with "No."
4. Know the products and services that the doctor provides. Be prepared to answer key questions about such services as crowns, fillings, implants, dentures, partials, whitening, veneers, patient financing, and insurance accepted by the practice, to name a few. Create "FAQ" (frequently asked question) sheets, so that patients and prospective patients can get prompt answers to basic questions.
5. Stay calm. If the patient is upset, the worst thing you can do is react emotionally or become defensive. Remember, the caller is contacting your practice because s/he needs help, not an attitude. The patient may not understand the charges on their bill. They may be in pain because of a dental emergency. They may be upset because they just learned they need specific paperwork completed to receive their insurance reimbursement. Again, like the six men and the elephant, you won't have the complete picture as to why they are upset. Remain calm, listen, and give them the time they need to explain their situation.
6. Find out how you come across on the phone. It will open your eyes to a whole new world of better patient service. Telephone Evaluations are a great way to assess where your office stands.

Competing with Corporate
This afternoon I received a glossy, four-color mailing from a new multi-state corporate dental office opening in our city of 100,000 people. I had been watching the progress of the physical office setting for about two months. It is in a building on one of the busiest highways through town in a space that had been vacant for about four years. The entire building was gutted and remodeled, the parking lot was repaved and striped, and a huge lighted sign with alternating pictures, images, and "special offers" was erected. There are two sections of the building. One for adults and a separate entrance for "the kids". It sits between two fast food restaurants. This area of town already has about thirty dentists within a five-mile radius.
The mailing featured smiling, attractive people of all ages. It turns out that the photos and copy from the mailing matches their easy-to-navigate website; same pictures, same colors. Here is the information they included:
Crowns in two hours - No more waiting if you need a crown. Our office can prepare and attach your new crown in just a few hours because we use state-of-the-art computer design technology. Your crown is made here on site!
All this advertising is bound to create some interest for this office. Here's the thing. Most of the existing dentists here already offer most, if not all, of the items mentioned in this mailing. Your office probably does as well. The question is: do people know about it? If not, why not? Will patients be attracted to this type of marketing and office setting and not to yours simply because of good advertising?
Word-of-mouth is a powerful marketing tool, but your office might need more. In this world of increasingly corporate-owned dental offices, here are some things you can do to be sure that potential patients know about you and your practice.
Take a look at your website. Attracting young patients is so important for new as well as mature practices. Young people use the internet to the exclusion of many other types of information sources. Is your website easy to navigate? Is it colorful and attractive? Do you offer the capability to fill out forms or request appointments? Do you offer other types of information such as short articles on dental treatment or answers to common questions? Do you list what you offer such as digital x-rays, intra-oral photos, same-day crowns, and treatment for children? Do you mention that you can help with insurance forms or arrange for a credit plan? Your web-site is vital. Be sure that it reflects the practice in the most positive light and gives plenty of information!
What about a mail-delivered advertising piece? Many disdain direct mail as "advertising from the past." However, a colorful piece that briefly showcases what you offer and directs potential patients to your coordinated website can be effective. It should feature pictures and short copy. Too much "reading" will land your piece directly in the rubbish.
Dealing with insurance and offering credit plans. Signage for your office indicating that your staff can help patients with insurance or direct them to potential avenues to help them pay for what they need is a plus. It can be tasteful, not tacky. Many patients want the dentistry you offer, but worry about how to pay for it.
Does your office have curb-appeal? Realtors are known for advising individuals trying to sell their homes to spruce up the exterior. Regardless of where your office is located, there may be things that can be done to make it more attractive. Clean windows and doors, parking lot and sidewalk trash pickup on a daily basis, fresh paint and new signage, even container flowers at the entrance can make a difference and are not expensive. People are attracted to clean, fresh, and colorful.
Ask for help.No one can know all things. If you feel overwhelmed in the area of marketing or practice improvement, there is help available.
Corporate dentistry is here and individual practices are forced to compete. The good news is that many patients want to come to an individually owned office; if they know about you and what you offer. Make sure that they do!

A Team with Four Captains
A Team with Four Captains - that's the structure of the 2014 United States World Cup Team. Quite unusual and their diffused leadership certainly will be dissected regardless of the final outcome in this year's tournament. Although I'm not familiar with all the intricacies of international 'football', I do know that there is a 'science' of leadership in sports…and business. While there can be multiple leaders, they must be unified and aligned to succeed.
Leadership is an increasingly difficult balancing act for one individual. When you multiply the equation by adding Partners and Associates, things get more complex. Most practitioners who expand their business do not grasp the necessity of shifting the way they work. They remain myopic and continue to operate under the impression that their partner(s) will behave the same as them – they assume that the Associates know they aren't in charge, so there is no need to worry about them.
But lack of communication, collaboration and coordination are instantly visible to employees and often to patients. Without trust and cohesiveness among the leadership team, they cannot accomplish what they came together to do. The lack of 'team-ness' at the top can, and often does, produce a huge obstacle to practice success.
Dental partnerships often consist of independent individuals who enjoy competing. That's how they got to the top. They rarely know how to deal with conflict constructively, and often choose to avoid it. Disagreements don't get resolved. Hidden agendas prevail. Dysfunction at the top filters down quickly.
If your staff often wonders what's going on or you feel like your practice is headed in five different directions, perhaps it's time to look at your 'executive team' and focus on process issues. Well-functioning teams discuss issues, such as how well the group is working together, how decisions are being reached, and how well the group is interacting.
Practice success requires a solid vision or Direction, the Alignment of resources to manifest that vision, and a Commitment by all involved to making that vision a reality. Central to this process is the collaboration of the leadership team in a way that leverages the contributions, opinions, and experiences of each partner. Here are some keys to establishing a stronger co-leadership in your practice.
Build relationships. Take time to get to know one another. By creating connections you will look forward to talking and planning together. This is the 'foundation', the single most important aspect of the co-leadership model. You have to trust your co-leader! Two or more leaders working together will surely have their differences in leadership style, and they will not always agree or share the same perceptions or interpretations. But when there is mutual respect and trust between them, they will be able to work cooperatively instead of competitively.
Decide how decisions will be made. Agreeing on how to make decisions is a critical component of effective co-leadership. No matter how well "matched" co-leaders are, there are bound to be times that consensus cannot be reached. For example, in a family business where two siblings are co-leaders, the one with expertise in computers has the final say on equipment purchases if there is a disagreement. They both support that decision. Co-leadership requires a win-win frame of mind. It isn't Bob's or Jane's decision; it's OUR decision.
Conduct effective and efficient meetings. Begin each meeting with an understanding of what must be accomplished and end with an action plan - who will do what by when. Having open lines of communication (phone, emails, face-to-face) is one of the things that makes co-leadership work. Prepare agendas and circulate in advance. Keep meeting notes and distribute the minutes to everyone afterwards.
Learn to avoid being 'triangled'. One of the biggest problems that co-leaders face parallels what parents encounter. That is, Junior asks Mom if he can sleep over at a friend's house because he knows she will say 'yes' and Dad will say 'no'. When you are aligned with your co-leaders, you present a united front. It's good for employees because it conveys psychological safety and that enables them to focus on their work. And it's good for the practice because you don't get side-tracked by irrelevant issues. Make it a point to check with one another when important issues come up. This improves the credibility and the respect of the leadership team. You can't be divided.
Co-leadership can be extremely powerful and effective. When it works, then one plus one equals more than two! But remember, even when there are multiple leaders, there can only be one team.

For example, houses in coastal areas might not want to use metal to avoid the degradation that comes with the exposure to excess humidity. Vinyl Railings are becoming more popular because of their durability and their similarity to painted wood. Vinyl is also quite simple to manage and can be wiped and cleaned without an effort by a power appliance or with a cleaning agent, water and a little bit of elbow grease. You'll never have to paint or seal Vinyl Railings.


text: How to Have a More Comfortable Home Published on July 14, 2015 Comfort. It's something that everyone wants, but most have a set idea of what it looks like for them. For some it may be an infinite number of pillows on their bed while others could simply say it's an air conditioner that has had proper air conditioner service. Ok, that last part may just be comfort as described by the pros at Golden Seal Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but you get the point. True comfort is ultimately defined by each homeowner, but there are a few commonalities that begin to show themselves if you take a closer look. If we dig in a little deeper and get a clearer picture of what comfort is composed of according to the pros, there is one takeaway that reveals itself when thinking about keeping your home comfortable throughout the year – air conditioner service. Every time Golden Seal Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning visits with homeowners in Saint Charles, whether it's on the phone or in their home, the question nearly always comes up, 'What can I do to keep my home more comfortable this spring/summer/winter/fall?' The answer is always the same – air conditioner service. If you can draw the comparison of your heating and cooling equipment to that of a car, the parallels start to display themselves fairly quickly. Oil changes/Tune-ups = Air filter changes/Tune-ups – routine annual maintenance is a must if you want to keep an engine fuel efficient and performing at its best. Precision tune-ups for your home's air conditioner and a new air filter helps it continue to run at best efficiency. Engine trouble = Air conditioner service – sometimes there are things you can take on yourself and other times you need to call in a professional. Think of air conditioner service as the point in which it's time to take your car to the shop. Sometimes you just need someone who does it all the time to make certain things are running as they should be and will continue to do so even with the excessive heat of the air conditioning season. Air conditioner service should be completed by a certified professional to keep the warranty valid and ward off future breakdowns. That's where the pros at Golden Seal Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Saint Charles enter the picture. Give us a call at 630-246-2698 or schedule an appointment online today to help make sure your home is as comfortable as it should be. Back To BlogContact Us

Branding Your Etsy Shop Part Four: Photos
Branding Your Etsy Shop: Part Three-Twitter
November 22, 2011 by admin
Some of this information comes from my post a few weeks about about "How to tweet for business without being a Twitt". If you have not connected your Etsy shop with your Twitter or Facebook pages...get busy.
If you notice in your Etsy account dashboard, under settings, look for connections and add your facebook and twitter accounts. That will assure more exposure for your shop when someone comes to your main shop page they will have the option to "like" your facebook and twitter accounts.
1. How to find quality tweeters:
You can add many followers in a matter of minutes if you like but they may end of being spammy and will not read your tweets or support your tweets. Twitter has a great search feature that allows you to search the twitter feeds for keywords that are in your targeted markets. If you sell beading supplies you would search for beading, beading supplies or anything related to beading or jewelry. Pick a few of the results, read their tweets, look at who they follow and who follows them. There is a good application called klout.com you might use this application to rate a particular twitter user. Pick ten or so twitter users that rate well or that you personally enjoy their tweets. Follow the ten and drill down into those they follow. Spend twenty to thirty minutes a day looking at twitter lists and picking quality users to follow.
2. Twitter Following Etiquette:
Once you have a few followers: be sure to respond to each follower with a personal message or mention such as, thanks for the follow or whatever works for you. You might try an application like SocialOomph that will set up an auto reply for you. There are many users that frown on the auto response to a twitter follower. In fact unless you are a major celebrity or national company that gets thousands of followers a day, auto response is considered by many as downright rude. It could turn off potential customers.
3. Links,Re-tweets and Hashtags:
It is possible to link your twitter account to feed into your blogs and facebook accounts. Blogger and WordPress blog platforms are very simple to link to your twitter feed. Twitter Feed is a good program to use to set up links to your main sites.
Re-tweet: is what happens when someone likes one of your tweets and they re-tweet it from their twitter account. Read and respond to tweets by your followers, hopefully in turn they will reply which gets you a mention or re-tweet of your comment. Re-tweets may expose an entirely new group of tweeters to your products or information. HootSuite and Tweet Deck are two applications to help track of your twitter account. Hashtags are just like keywords that are used to optimize your webpage on the internet. Hashtags help twitter to keep track of trends and like items. An example of a tweet with a hashtag could be @mybeadingsupply find our specials today on faucets #beads #supplies #jewelrysupplies #etsy.The word beading will help group your tweet into the twitter search, your tweet could show up in three different search criteria which increase your chances of customers finding your webpage.
Here is basic user information from a neat Youtube video http://youtu.be/uTc3ROMJsAY The best advice is to jump in and get your feet wet. Twitter can be a very powerful business partner.

Branding Your Etsy Shop Series Part One
October 15, 2011 by admin
Etsy and Artfire are wonderful platforms to feature and sell your handmade crafts, vintage items and art of all types. However, these platforms can only do so much to promote your shops. Recently, Google made another algorithm shift which caused a lot of gnashing of teeth in the online world. This is the first in a series of articles on how to brand yourself or your Etsy shop. The series will address Social Media Management; Twitter, Google Analytics, Etsy stats,Treasury-BNR,teams,circles,other sites such as Linked-in, Google+ and Google Circles,Wordpress and Blogger blogs and how to use all of these avenues to help become a brand to gain more notice, traffic and sales.Google is king; Yahoo and Bing are lesser royalty in the search engine world. We will focus on Google for now. Each use algorithmic formulas to send out little bots or spiders to crawl for new and fresh content. In this instant society we need and want new content "right now". The search engines work hard to give us what we want.
How Google crawls the web. The short version from Google
"How often does Google crawl the web?Google's spiders regularly crawl the web to rebuild our index. Crawls are based on many factors such as PageRank, links to a page, and crawling constraints such as the number of parameters in a URL. Any number of factors can affect the crawl frequency of individual sites. Our crawl process is algorithmic; computer programs determine which sites to crawl, how often, and how many pages to fetch from each site. We don't accept payment to crawl a site more frequently." http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=34439 Imagine you set up a brick and mortar store, and stock it with wonderful and colorful items. As a business owner as you are with Etsy it is your responsibility to direct traffic to your store/shop. In the brick and mortar world you would not sit in the middle of your store and hope customers may walk in and buy. You may get some passing traffic but you need to let your market know that you are open and ready to sell. In the online world it is the same you can set up an Etsy or Artfire shop and you perhaps get some passing traffic but unless you let the world know that you are open for business the shop is not calling attention to the world that you are open and ready to sell. You may gain a few views or even a random sale as the new shops gain a small amount of attention from Etsy as you list new items. Etsy tries to assist sellers and buyers with the use of tags, categories and descriptions, treasuries, front page features and ads. The first installment of the series of how to brand your shop and it begins with Etsy tagging. So, you have an Etsy shop here a few tips to tagging and setting categories. Etsy community forums are fantastic sites packed with all you need to know about tagging for success. I won't repeat all of the dos and don'ts from Etsy you can read it from the link.
Tagging:Who is it for? What is the use? How to use your item? Properly tagged item listings will bring more shoppers to your shop which hopefully results in more sales for you. Here are a few suggestions from my own experience as an Etsy shop owner. Tag any holidays, Christmas, Halloween, mother's day, father's day, weddings, bride mother of the, women's, posh, fancy, tag with words in other languages in French, Italian, German etc. Tag for Holiday's in other countries such as Boxing Day, Hanukkah, is a great key word to use during the Jewish holiday; I made some nice sales tagging for ethnic holidays. Girls Day in Japan, Diwali in India. Change the spelling for other markets an example is the word; jewellery instead of jewelry use the word bespoke for custom handmade in Europe and the UK. The words colour, for CA and the UK. Tag with country names too. You might want to look at your Etsy stats to see what keywords are ranking the highest and be sure to add those in your tags and descriptions. Tag for team names and your own shop name as well every few listings, you should avoid long tailed tags with 4 or 5 words in each tag, I am not sure that the search engines pick up long tags- Among Etsy's search tabs there is an important listing for gifts =Tween, Mothers, boyfriends, dog lovers, dads, kids babies etc. Look at what you are selling would anything fit into any of those gift categories. To test out your tags, list the same item twice but tag each differently. It could be interesting to see which tags bring the most traffic The next post we will look at Facebook fan pages to support your Etsy shop

This single card, or single rune spread is my gift to you, should you find yourself interested in sampling what a full reading would be like. Just click the graphic, email your question, and I will take it from there. Blessings All.
This exceptionally versatile spread sheds light on various aspects of any given situation, and it is due to this versatility and it's ability to be applied to any given question, that the Celtic Cross is the most laid and recognized spread in use today.
Like the standard Celtic Cross, this spread may be applied to any situation, but unlike the previous, this spread contains an additional three wild cards allowing for further information on any given aspect of the reading.
The Fates is a small reading designed to give a lot of information in a fewer number of cards. Of the three cards, one each represents the past, the present, and the future. Sometimes, something smaller is all we need.
Like the Spread of the Fates, this is a smaller, four-card spread designed to be applied to any situation, but with one additional card to offer further information on any aspect of the reading.
The Calendar spread is designed to give the petitioner an overview of the coming year with one card representing each month, and an additional card offered to give further information on any aspect of the coming year.
Like the Calendar Spread, the Wheel of the Year offers an overview of the year to come with each card representing one of the Pagan sabbats, and a ninth card to offer additional information on any aspect of the year.
Reading Submission Form
Please fill out the following form in addition to payment, as this will allow me to process your request more efficiently. Note: The submission of this form does not complete the payment process. That must be carried out separately. Upon payment receipt, I will respond with your request confirmation, and expected date of return. Unless otherwise stated in the confirmation email, readings are usually delivered within 48 hours. I thank you in advance for your patronage.

The archetypal psyche has a structuring or ordering principle which unifies the various archetypal contents. This is the central archetype or archetype of wholeness which Jung has termed the Self. The Self is the ordering and unifying center of the total psyche (conscious and unconscious) just as the ego is the center of the conscious personality. (Edinger, 4)Symbolically, "images that emphasize a circle with a center and usually with the additional feature of a square, a cross, or some other representation of quaternity," represent the Self archetype (Edinger, 4).
Both intuition and sensation are functions that find fulfilment in the absolute perception of the flux of events. Hence, by their very nature, they will react to every possible occurrence and be attuned to the absolutely contingent, and must therefore lack all rational direction. For this reason I call them irrational functions, as opposed to thinking and feeling, which find fulfilment only when they are in complete harmony with the laws of reason. (Jung, as quoted by Sharp)And again, from Jung:
Merely because [irrational types] subordinate judgment to perception, it would be quite wrong to regard them as "unreasonable." It would be truer to say that they are in the highest degree empirical. They base themselves entirely on experience. (Jung, as quoted by Sharp)So it is not that the irrational functions are illogical, but that they are unconscious and not subject to conscious reasoning.
Reality is the horizon that is transgressed in order to play, and it therefore becomes "the other" of play. However, importantly, this otherness also has to abide within play, as it is the latter's indication of what separates it from non-play. Therefore, the other is simultaneously, as difference, and viewed from the inside of play, the unity of play. (Walther, 2003)Besides that the image of gameplay (of which we have already indicated the fourfold tendencies) invoked here is the symbol of a circle which contains the whole, the above description of "the other" strongly resonates with the concept that the ego arises out of the Self, which simultaneously represents the whole unity and the part of the psyche which is not conscious (note: Walther's usage of the term "the other" here is not the same concept as I discussed earlier, but is rather the inverse, or what I referred to as "the full set of rules, etc.").

First, you need to ensure the Product/Service you've selected from the Catalog is set up to charge a sales tax. Navigate to the My Company section of the Sitemap -> Catalog -> View Catalog. Each Catalog Item has a field titled 'Charge Sales Tax?'. Simply set this field to 'Yes' for the appropriate Product/Service(s).
Note: Yardbook still needs to know what the local tax rate is for these items. Be sure that you have set up your Company's local tax rates (Sitemap -> Company Profile -> Settings -> Set Up Sales Tax Rate) and that the Customer has been assigned the appropriate rate. You can assign a Customer a tax rate by navigating to their Customer Details Page, clicking the blue 'Edit' button, and scrolling down to the 'Tax Rate' field. (Note: You must have enabled 'Show More' Mode).
If you have not created any local tax rates, you can also edit the default tax value for any given Product/Service. Simply go to the Product/Service and edit the 'Tax%' field if/as needed. Note: if the Customer has already been assigned a tax rate, it will override the default tax rate in the Catalog.

From the top down, the head and helmet are fine although the helmet has quite a tab on the backside which not only has to be trimmed off but requires a little re-sculpting of the edge. Not a huge issue in and of itself but it could have been done better. The strap castings are okay, but there is a lot of flash on them, indications of a production mold starting to go bad. The body also has a lot of flash, again not a big deal, no detail is missing and its relatively simple to clean up with a knife and then a file. the only real issue with the body is the pitting of the metal across the back from shoulder to shoulder. The primer should be enough to cover this. I'll find out! The arms though, those are on the not good side of the equation. The right arm has flash and slipped, i.e. the mold didn't align properly and the arm is not cast quite correctly. I have seen worse and this wasn't so bad that I couldn't fix it. The same thing happened with the left arm and the Thompson SMG. The left hand, the grenade and the canteen are all fine. The base had a considerable amount of flash as well, again it just took more time than I expected it to.
Needless to say, prep time took a little longer than I expected. I then did as much assembly work as I could. In this case the body to the base and the arms to the body. I also glued the Thompson's strap in place and did some preliminary bending. Its close but I'll do the final adjustment once its actually glued to the body after painting is done. The head, helmet, left hand, right hand with SMG, helmet straps and the grenade will all be painted separately.
With assembly done I put it all in the booth and primed them in grey. Badger's Stynylrez grey primer has become my favorite airbrush primer at this point. I have a couple of other colors that I want to start experimenting with especially after watching James Wappel's videos, he has developed some very interesting techniques.
A few pictures of the evenings work:
|The pieces
|The assembly
|The rest of the pieces
|Primed, sorry the lights are pretty stark in the airbrush booth, but he really is primed at this point.
|I don't see any immediate flaws after priming so I think its okay to start the painting. I intend to do the initial work with the airbrush and then follow that with the brushwork.

There were trees and then and some animals came on the land.

Dug this pile out of the berms at the local range this weekend. For those familiar with MN. I'm sure you can appreciate busting up sand piles and sifting dirt at our wonderful balmy noontime temperature at 1 degree. Couple hours of back breaking work. but I think I pulled a respectable load from them.
Figured it's worth it since if someone doesn't pull them out. the club has to pay for it's removal.

Next, go to Customize => Widgets. And start adding your widgets to your footer area:
In my case I selected 1/4 3/4 layout which means widgets inside the Footer Area #1 will be placed under the 1/4 column, and widgets inside the Footer Area #2 will be added to the 3/4 column. All you need is to click the footer area and add your widgets there. save & publish your changes, that's all!

Why become a flight attendant?
The mystique of stewardesses has been around since the beginning of the occupation's existence. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why the occupation is so alluring. Is it the freedom and excitement of travel? The charming and charismatic image of flight attendants? The romantic notions of what a flight attendant may do during her layover? Women across the decades had their own reasons and motivations for getting on board as sky girls.
Prestige and Independence
When women first started working as flight attendants in the 1930s, it was considered quite an honor. In a time when female occupations were limited to fields such as teaching, nursing and secretarial positions, working for an airline had huge appeal. Not only did women have a chance to travel across the country and meet exciting new people, they also had the luxury of having a steady paying job during the Great Depression. Also, during this time the notoriety and romanticism of stewardesses developed as the esteem attached to pilots carried over to flight attendants.
Read a transcription of a stewardesse's welcome speech during her first flight.
Many of the nurses who worked on planes in the 1930s traded taking care of airsick passengers to air evacuating wounded soldiers in World War II. Because so many former flight attendants went to the war, most airlines relinquished the nursing requirement for their flight attendants. This rallied many women to enter the field of commercial aviation as their patriotic duty to help their country.
Glamour and Style
Following the war, the image of flight attendants became increasingly glamorous. Mirroring the current social atmosphere, the femininity of women was emphasized more than the hard-working women of the Depression and War eras. Hourglass-shaping uniforms and the strict adherence to the unmarried policy created a 'girl-next-door' appeal to stewardesses. Male passengers, especially those on United Airline's male-only 'executive flights,' were particularly delighted with the polished, smiling stewardesses who catered to their every whim while in flight. Women who chose to become stewardesses during this time were often looking for adventure and yearning for a taste of a charmed life that, for them, was only attainable as sky girl.

Agility is the mainstay of small and midsize businesses. What smaller enterprises lack in funds, they make up for in their ability to quickly adapt to changing trends. Today, with online retail sales showing steady double-digit growth in the U.S. and Europe, businesses of all sizes must make online presence a priority. But SAP Business All-in-One customers can breathe easy. SAP recently partnered with ePages to integrate an e-commerce solution into the business management suite for small and mid-sized companies.
SAP worked with ePages before, in 2010, to integrate an e-commerce solution into SAP Business One solutions. Now, SAP Business All-in-One solutions, which are more comprehensive than Business One solutions and intended for midsize companies, also profit from the added webshop functionality. The webshop is developed by ePages and hosted in the cloud. SAP partner HONICON eBusiness enables the integration of the e-commerce solution into SAP Business All-in-One solutions in the back end so that online orders are processed alongside traditional sales channels for one unified overview of orders.
The ePages webshop enables many types of business in diverse industries to expand their online presence. Retail companies can sell their products online to reach more customers. And companies in industries like Utilities or Transportation & Travel can use the ePages booking system to allow customers to book services or rent and reserve products online.
The e-commerce system integrates with Amazon, eBay, and popular search engines to ensure the webshop is easy to find for existing customers and highly visible to attract new customers. Common payment methods, like PayPal, are also integrated in the ePages webshop. In addition, various marketing tools are included, for example: cross-selling, discounts and coupons, customer forums, and product portals.

Choosing the right webshop
Business All-in-One customers in the U.S. and Western Europe can choose from two webshop packages: ePages BASE for SAP Business All-in-One and ePages FLEX for SAP Business All-in-One. Both packages include hosting in the cloud, integration with SAP back end, support, and updates and upgrades through application management. Where the webshops differ is in their scope.
The BASE version can sell up to 10,000 products in up to 1,000 pages or categories and provides 1,000 Megabytes of space for the shop gallery, excluding images. There is a limit of 30 delivery methods and companies can simultaneously enable only three of the 13 languages available. This version costs $539USD per month (399€ per month).
The FLEX version can sell up to 200,000 products in up to 2,000 pages or categories and provides 2,000 Megabytes of space for the shop gallery, excluding images. There is a limit of 1,000 delivery methods and companies can simultaneously enable all 13 languages. They are: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Catalan, Russian, Portuguese, Finnish, Norwegian, and Danish. This version costs $949USD per month (699€ per month).
After deciding which webshop package best suits their needs, Business All-in-One customers can book it through ePages. They will receive an email from ePages within 48 hours containing the access data to their online store. Businesses can design the webshop themselves or use ePages Design & Consult services. The IntegrationMan connector from HONICO eBusiness is installed parallel to the shop. Companies will receive a link to start the setup wizard for integration between the webshop and the SAP ERP system. Some settings must be configured on the ERP end; companies should consult their SAP partner for guidance.

Bulldozer / Truck Dirt cake
by Rose
Every little boy loves bulldozers, trucks and dirt. So it was no surprise when my five year old asked for a dirt cake.
I thought how hard could that be. I first went to the toy store and purchased a dump truck for the top of the cake.
As this was a party for triplets I choose to bake a small cake for him. (I after all had to bake three different cakes)
After baking I used white icing to ice the cake. I have a close friend that is great with cakes and she helped with the film on the front.
For the top I used crumbled up Oreo cookies, placed the dump truck in the center. and liked the outside with candles.
The dirt cake was the hit of the party!
