This is an 8 oz, 5.55" by 2.25" by 1.05" matte finish quartz wand from Brazil with light cathedraling, a healed base and side students. He is ever so slightly smoky with a vertical silver shield in his termination and areas of manganese in the crevices! His sides show very tactile Pleiadian glyphs, highlighted by his light-gathering mists. He is positively radiant and brilliant and an amazing handful of energy. There are some very tiny dings, but nothing of any significance at all!
I love the way this Spirit fills with light! It's as if he gathers all the energy in the room and focuses it into an immense beam of light – I swear you can use him to see in the dark! He would love to work with a crystal healer or Reiki practitioner where he can be used for "psychic surgery", deftly carving out energy blockages, implants from past lives and negative energy pockets. Whether we realize it or now, our aura is a blueprint of our physical, emotional and Spiritual health. Disease at all levels show here and can be treated here as well. It is important to note that as with conventional medicine, this is simply treating the symptom, but it gives the body a jump-start so that the root cause can be addressed. This Spirit is an important tool for setting the stage and accelerating the true healing to follow. These wands were used in Atlantis and Lemuria and highly sought-after ones at that! Although they were abused in that period, they are appearing once again, but with modifications so that they are never used with that intent again. Their role now is primarily healing. He is an astounding and capable helper and will be a true blessing to his Keeper.

(by Blaine A. Lucas and Robert Max Junker)
Court Refuses to Adopt a "One Size Fits All" Approach that Would Prohibit Municipalities from Permitting Shale Drilling in Rural Residential and Agricultural Zoning Districts
On October 26, 2018, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court published an en banc opinion in Frederick v. Allegheny Township Zoning Hearing Board, et al., No. 2295 C.D. 2015, 2018 WL 5303462 (Pa. Cmwlth. Oct. 26, 2018) rejecting a challenge to the validity of the Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County (Township) zoning ordinance. The Court addressed the contention of oil and gas industry opponents that an unconventional natural gas well pad can only be permitted in an industrial zoning district. After reviewing the detailed record developed in the substantive validity challenge decided by the Township Zoning Hearing Board (Board) and addressing recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions on shale gas drilling, the Court, in a 5-2 decision, rejected this "one size fits all" proposition. It found that state law empowers municipalities to determine where well sites are appropriate and compatible with other land uses within their boundaries.
In 2010, the Township Board of Supervisors enacted a zoning ordinance amendment that allowed oil and gas well operations in all zoning districts as a use permitted "as of right," provided the applicant satisfied numerous specified standards to protect the public health, safety, and welfare (2010 Ordinance). A use permitted "as of right" requires administrative approval; it does not require public notice or a hearing.
In 2014, CNX Gas Company, LLC (CNX) applied to the Township for a zoning permit to develop an unconventional well pad (Porter Pad) in the R-2 Agricultural / Residential Zoning District and submitted all the information required by the 2010 Ordinance. Once CNX received the zoning permit, three nearby individuals, Dolores Frederick, Patricia Hagaman, and Beverly Taylor (Objectors) appealed to the Board. They challenged the granting of the permit and raised a substantive validity challenge to the 2010 Ordinance. The Objectors claimed that based on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Robinson Township v. Commonwealth, 83 A.3d 901 (Pa. 2013) (Robinson Township II), the 2010 Ordinance violated substantive due process and Article 1, Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, commonly known as the Environmental Rights Amendment (ERA), because it allowed an allegedly industrial use in a residential/agricultural zoning district.
During three nights of hearings before the Board, the Objectors presented Dr. John Stoltz and Steven Victor as expert witnesses. The Board found that neither expert was credible. CNX and land owners presented testimony and called Professor Ross Pifer as an expert on the interplay between the oil and gas industry and agricultural and rural communities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Board found Professor Pifer credible.
The Board's written decision contained numerous findings of fact related to the qualities and characteristics of the Township, its long history of oil and natural gas development, and the specific operations that would take place as the Porter Pad is developed. The Board rejected the Objectors' claims that the Porter Pad would have an adverse effect on public health, safety, welfare or the environment. The Board likewise rejected the Objectors' reading of Robinson Township II, ultimately concluding that the 2010 Ordinance is valid. On appeal to the Westmoreland County Court of Common Pleas, President Judge Richard McCormick affirmed the Board's decision.
The Commonwealth Court En Banc Opinion
President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt authored the majority opinion, joined by Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer, Judge P. Kevin Brobson, Judge Anne E. Covey, and Judge Michael H. Wojcik. Judge Patricia A. McCullough and Judge Ellen Ceisler authored separate dissents.
The Court majority first addressed the Objectors' substantive due process claim. Judge Leavitt acknowledged that the Objectors did not challenge the Board's detailed findings of fact as being unsupported by substantial evidence, and that the Board's credibility determinations were binding on the Court. The Court pointed out that although the Objectors advanced various concerns about natural gas development in their brief, they had not presented credible evidence to substantiate these claims before the Board. Instead, the Objectors merely expressed generalized and speculative concerns about the construction and operation of the Porter Pad. Reviewing its recent decisions in Gorsline v. Board of Supervisors of Fairfield Township, 123 A.3d 1142 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2015), reversed on other grounds, 186 A.3d 375 (Pa. 2018) and EQT Production Company v. Borough of Jefferson Hills, 162 A.3d 554 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2017), petition for allowance of appeal granted in part, 179 A.3d 454 (Pa. 2018), the Court reiterated that objections to construction activities and mere speculation of possible harm are insufficient to sustain an objector's burden.
In addressing the Objectors' repeated use of the term "industrial" to describe natural gas wells, the Court observed that the Objectors did not present any evidence to the Board "on what they meant by 'industrial' or the significance of that term." The Court cited to its recent decision in another ordinance validity challenge for the proposition that oil and gas drilling, like farming, is not a heavy industrial use but instead is a use traditionally exercised in agricultural areas, containing temporary components of an industrial use.[1] As a result, the Court agreed with the Board that the 2010 Ordinance does not violate substantive due process.
Next, the Court addressed the Objectors' contention that the 2010 Ordinance violates the ERA, specifically its first sentence, which states that "[t]he people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment." In this regard, the Objectors reiterated the same argument they made under the due process clause – that oil and gas is an incompatible "industrial use" that degrades the local environment. The Objectors also asserted that the Supreme Court's interpretation of the ERA in Robinson Township II required the Township to engage in an undefined pre-action environmental impact analysis before enacting the 2010 Ordinance.
In analyzing these ERA claims, the Commonwealth Court acknowledged the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's 2017 ruling in Pennsylvania Environmental Defense Foundation v. Commonwealth, 161 A.3d 911 (Pa. 2017) (PEDF). In PEDF, the Supreme Court rejected the three-part test for measuring compliance with the ERA enunciated by the Commonwealth Court in Payne v. Kassab, 312 A.2d 86 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1973)[2] and instead ruled that challenges raised under the ERA should be decided in accordance with its text.[3] Acknowledging that the "precise duties imposed upon local governments by the first sentence of the [ERA] are by no means clear," the Commonwealth Court ascertained the relevant standard, based on Robinson Township II and PEDF, to be whether the governmental action "unreasonably impairs" the environmental values implicated by the ERA. However, the Commonwealth Court found that Robinson Township II "did not give municipalities the power to act beyond the bounds of their enabling legislation" and that "[m]unicipalities lack the power to replicate the environmental oversight that the General Assembly has conferred upon [the Department of Environmental Protection] and other state agencies."
The Court also observed that Section 3302 of the Oil and Gas Act preempts municipalities from regulating "how" drilling takes place, and that a municipality may only use its zoning powers to regulate "where" mineral extraction occurs. The Commonwealth Court concluded the Objectors failed to prove that the Township's legislative decision expressed in the 2010 Ordinance allowing gas wells in all zoning districts "unreasonably impairs" their rights under the ERA, particularly when the record (and the Board's findings) showed how long gas development has safely coexisted within rural communities, how the land can be returned to its original state once the wells are completed, and how energy extraction can support the agricultural use of land.
The Court next addressed the Objectors' claim that the 2010 Ordinance violated several provisions of the state's zoning enabling legislation, i.e. the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC). Once again, the Court pointed out the conclusory nature of the Objectors' argument that oil and gas drilling is incompatible with rural uses. The MPC sets forth the detailed public process that a municipality must follow when it amends its zoning ordinance. However, the Objectors claimed that Robinson Township II added a level of analysis requiring the Township to undertake pre-enactment environmental, health, and safety studies in order to satisfy the Township's obligations under the ERA. The Commonwealth Court rejected this claim and agreed with the Board that such an argument is a novel construction without any foundation under Pennsylvania law.
In its conclusion, the majority opinion recognized that municipalities, if they do elect to utilize their discretion to enact land use regulation in the first place, must balance the interests of landowners in the use and enjoyment of their property with the public health, safety, and welfare. The Objectors' contention that the 2010 Ordinance will result in oil and gas development anywhere and everywhere in the Township is tempered by the significant setback requirements in Act 13 that remain in effect. In fact, the Board found that these requirements eliminated shale gas development from more than 50 percent of the land in the Township. The Court returned to the "where" versus "how" distinction declared by the Supreme Court and noted that a zoning ordinance expressing legislative decisions regarding where a land use can occur must be affirmed unless clearly arbitrary and unreasonable.
The penultimate paragraph in the majority's opinion is worth noting here: "Objectors' objectives in this litigation are confounding. Were they to succeed in invalidating [the 2010 Ordinance], then they release oil and gas operators from the ordinance conditions that relate to noise, lighting, hours, security and dust. Absent [the 2010 Ordinance], CNX's permit could be invalidated. However, CNX would no longer need a 'zoning compliance permit' to operate the Porter Pad."
Dissenting Opinions
Judge McCullough dissented and would remand the case back to the Board to receive additional evidence as to how the 2010 Ordinance is compatible with the ERA. Reading Robinson Township II in concert with PEDF, Judge McCullough believed that if it was unconstitutional for the General Assembly to permit natural gas development in all zoning districts, so too must it be unconstitutional for the Township to do so through its zoning ordinance. Significantly, she would switch the burden of proof in a substantive validity challenge and require the Township to make an evidentiary showing to prove that the 2010 Ordinance did not violate the ERA. She also opined that the ordinance "should be subjected to strict scrutiny and analysis in the same manner that courts provide to other fundamental rights."
Judge Ceisler filed a separate dissent noting that although she agreed with much of the majority's reasoning, she did not agree with the conclusion that the 2010 Ordinance does not violate the ERA. She would find that the 2010 Ordinance facially violates the ERA and does not comport with the Township's duties as the environmental trustee of all the public natural resources within its domain.
What's Next?
The Objectors do not have an automatic right to appeal this decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. However, within 30 days of the Commonwealth Court decision, they can petition the Supreme Court to consider the case. If the Supreme Court declines to take the case, the Commonwealth Court decision will remain as controlling law. If the Supreme Court accepts the appeal, the parties will brief and argue the case before the Court.
On the same day it heard oral argument in Frederick (November 14, 2016), the same panel of the Commonwealth Court (Judges Leadbetter, McCullough, and Wojcik) heard argument in Delaware Riverkeeper Network v. Middlesex Township Zoning Hearing Board – another substantive validity challenge to a municipality's decision to allow shale drilling in areas beyond industrial zoning districts. On June 7, 2017, the Commonwealth Court decided Delaware Riverkeeper in an unreported opinion, affirming the validity of the challenged ordinance. Delaware Riverkeeper Network v. Middlesex Twp. Zoning Hearing Bd., No. 1229 C.D. 2015, 2017 WL 2458278 (Pa. Cmwlth. June 7, 2017). As part of its analysis there, the Commonwealth Court applied the three-part Payne v. Kassab test for measuring compliance with the ERA. However, as discussed above, on June 20, 2017 the Supreme Court decided PEDF, which rejected Payne v. Kassab as the applicable test.
In addition, on June 1, 2018, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Gorsline, referenced above and discussed in greater detail in our Energy & Natural Resources Alert, available here. Although the Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, reversed Fairfield Township's approval of a conditional use for an unconventional gas well pad, it did so on narrow grounds related to the "savings clause" language of the zoning ordinance there, specifically whether the well pad was "similar" to other uses in the applicable zoning district. However, the Gorsline majority concluded with language rejecting the objectors' contention that oil and gas development was "incompatible" with uses in rural and agricultural districts, thus recognizing that zoning decisions are inherently local matters and local municipalities are empowered to "permit oil and gas development in any or all of its zoning districts." In addition, the Gorsline majority cautioned that its narrow holding "should not be misconstrued as an indication that oil and gas development is never permitted in residential/agricultural districts, or that it is fundamentally incompatible with residential or agricultural uses." Gorsline, 186 A.3d at 389.
On August 3, 2018, Supreme Court vacated and remanded Delaware Riverkeeper, directing the Commonwealth Court to reconsider its decision in light of PEDF and the above-quoted language in Gorsline. A decision from the Commonwealth Court is pending.

Budget Comments Focus on Thomas Jefferson High School
Parents and students utilized citizen's time at the special Feb. 11 budget meeting of the Prince William School Board to ask for continued support for Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology.
Dave Cline, Associate Superintendent of Finance and Planning Services, reviewed the FY14 budget presented at the Feb. 6 School Board Meeting, but included the caveat that Governor McDonnell is considering cutting $9 million in funding for cost of competing in Northern Virginia. These are funds that help jurisdictions in Northern Virginia pay teachers a competitive salary to match the region's high cost of living.
Thomas Jefferson High School parents asked that the partnership between Prince William and Fairfax counties to support the science and technology high school not be severed.
Parent Mark Towne of Bristow thanked the School Board and Superintendent Walts for their support for Thomas Jefferson High School. Town said the school has changed his son Jonathan's life. Although Jonathan was not present, his father said Jonathan had said of the school, "This is where I belong. The kids there are just like me."
"We have great specialty programs in our county: IB, biotech and performing arts," said Towne. "These are all fantastic programs because they give students the opportunity to thrive in any talent they've been gifted with."
Anya Owsenek, who attends Thomas Jefferson High School as a ninth grade student, told the School Board it is the perfect place for her.
"I had heard so many positive things about Thomas Jefferson," said Owsenek, but this did not keep her from being "amazed and astonished" on her first day. Owsenek said her school is unique because there teenagers roam the corridors, discussing mathematical equations, science experiments or technology projects.
Like her school mate Jonathan, Anya felt the school well suited for her interests and passions.
"It's an education for teenagers who are a little bit different like me," said Owsenek.
Suzie Bastian is a mother from Manassas who coaches Math Counts and prepares students to attend Thomas Jefferson. She said for her family, the opportunities to live in the country and still have her children attend Thomas Jefferson in Fairfax led to their decision to move to Prince William.
Michele Gonzales of Manassas said she also chose Prince William County so her children could attend Thomas Jefferson. Gonzales described sending Prince William students to the school as "a win-win situation," because students receive an excellent education and can thus give back to others in their community.
Nokesville citizen Zara Terrill was the only speaker to address a different topic. She encouraged the School Board not to spend school funds on building a pool in the twelfth high school, but to focus their efforts on educating students, paying teachers and improving test results, saying a pool was a recreational need better suited for the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Should the state of county funding be reduced, not all of the proposals in the Superintendent's FY2014 budget would be able to be realized. This could mean a choice between reducing/ eliminating employee raises, specialty programs or construction of new schools.

"2011 worldwide businesses experienced 23 million of internet and Cybersecurity breaches which increased to 30 million averagely in a year. A recent research shown the vulnerability of Cybersecurity at highest of all time, out of 33 Cybersecurity capabilities organizations are equipped with 11 capabilities.
Cybersecurity concerns have been exploded so badly that only 9 percent of organizations have the 75 percent capabilities out of 33 Cybersecurity capabilities, forget about 100 percent security for any organization. Cybersecurity is the bedrock of future business and digital transformation.'
World is getting connected with smart devices and people are getting more dependent on the digital medium. With this increased amount of use of internet and smart devices, users will be walking a tightrope putting businesses on a higher risk. In the recent past, we have encountered ransomware attacks, Yahoo and Facebook massive data breaches, and financial frauds too, it is time to understand that our conventional firewall is not enough for businesses.
Why there is a need to minimize the risk of digital business disruptions occurs due to Cyberthreats with MDR. We shouldn't ignore the Cyber threats because of the rapidly increasing Cybercrimes, hackers, and Cyberattacks. Businesses have to keep monitoring the database network and systems to keep data secure. This is the reason why Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services has become a mandate for businesses and organizations.
Cyberattacks have grown at an exponential rate in the recent past with attacks becoming more meticulous and sophisticated. This has led to businesses experiencing data loss and data breaches irrespective of the organization size. Especially the ones who don't have the basic Cybersecurity policies and technology to detect and manage the attacks and threats. Organizations who were simply relying on the conventional firewall system have seen how it has failed and has not been enough to face the security challenges.
What makes these businesses more vulnerable is their lack of in-house expertise to respond to any form of Cyberthreat. Their skills are outdated and not enough to face a more sophisticated and highly engineered threats towards the organization irrespective of dedicated IT support team to respond to 24 X 7 Cyberattacks.
Introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the Europe emphasis over the controlled use of personal data and the way it should be stored. GDPR has strict guidelines and imposes heavy penalties for losing the personal data of customers, which means there has to be a zero tolerance against Cyberthreats. Businesses and organization have to follow the GDPR guidelines and keep their data safe and secure from any form of Cyberattack or data breach.
The growing sophisticated Cyberattacks and Cybercrimes have created a need for MDR to manage, detect, and respond before a business suffers a massive loss to these attacks and breaches which will easily damage the reputation of any organization making it unrecoverable. MDR increases the capabilities to respond Cyberattacks and respond on-time making it a smart move for the organization to keep their data and reputation secure in future.
Cybercriminals are becoming more efficient and effective with their attacks on organizations, networks and systems which requires businesses to be fully equipped with effective strategies to counter these attacks. One such strategy is to invest in MDR and get future ready while industries migrate to the new age of digital transformation.

Aloha Also Means Goodbye. Jessica Rosenberg
Aloha Also Means Goodbye. Jessica Rosenberg
Review from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.
I love romance novels but they need to have something different to lure me in, and the tropical setting of this one did it for me. So we meet Jo and her friends who're there having a batchelorette party a few days before her wedding…and then we meet Jo's ex, Andy, who's there with his two kids, on a holiday without his wife. She's done a runner, but he's come on the holiday anyway. Seeing them is rubbing salt into the wound for Jo, her original marriage in Africa she's just discovered isn't legal, she and Jordan haven't been getting on so well since they returned to the US, they've been trying unsuccessfully to have a family, she still hasn't told him about the Zambian license, and seeing Andy and the children brings all her doubts and jealousies to the front. Lucky she's got her two best friends with her…
So, Jo, I felt for her, with her past tragedy and the more we learned about it the sadder it became. She'd been through such a lot and she was a really sweet girl. I didn't really like Jordan from the beginning, and like her wondered if they were really right for each other. Andy, his side of the story when they parted was so different from what she'd been told, and once they talked a different light was shed on the past. Sadie, the friend who was forever getting her heart broken, was really soft and gentle. She was just a sucker for the sob story, fixed the problems and then each time the men dumped her once they were problem free again. She meets the lovely bartender Kona and falls for him quickly, then after they spend the night together she sees things that make her wonder if once again she's been tricked ….and then Roxie, friend number two. Roxie is one of those hard outside, soft inside people, she's something of a man eater, having decided love is just a sham, and a short good time then goodbye is the best she can expect. Protects herself from heartbreak that way. Jo's mum, she was first class bitch to begin but mellowed. I did find her behaviour turnaround difficult to accept, and also the things she's been hiding – her reasons didn't sit well with me, and I just don't think she could have not let something slip over all those years.
Soi a good cast of characters, a puzzle over who Jo would choose, secrets from the past revealed, Sadie's possible heartbreak, Roxie's brittle self protection, the wedding that's rapidly turning from paradise perfection into beach front bedlam, a kidnapping… its a story full of action and drama, all packed into 303 pages for £4.42. Its a whirl a minute, some quick sexy moments, and lots of choices to be made for everyone. I didn't expect what resulted, which was good, unpredictable novels are so much more interesting. I did find that the non stop action at times became too much, and the romance side took a back seat to the rest of the drama.
Stars: Four, a fun read but not one I'd re read. .

Turns out, not releasing that which keeps us back, is a selfish act. When we hold on (to things or feelings), we're keeping everything from moving on, just as we keep ourselves from progressing.
And by association (since we're all connected), this creates barriers for everyone we know. By staying inside that clinched and cluttered state, we are doing the All a disservice.
Release, for the bigger picture.
It's like when we clean (not that this is a familiar area for me, I'm obviously channeling here), we thin out, we toss, we pare down what we no longer need. Donating and giving away items which no longer serve.
By hanging on to what does not help us, what we do not need (physically and emotionally), we are ceasing progress, for ourselves and for others.
I'm a terrible one for hoarding and clinging. It's a personal lesson for me. So when I was made aware of our message this morning, I knew how challenging it would be. For us all. But, we MUST address it. It's part of our growth.
Back within our regular rotation around the card altar now, we've come around to an amazing creature, who has brought us some welcome assistance.
"Ray ~
Counter malicious talk by casting its import from your mind.
Supreme predator of the blue planet, spiny teeth protrude from Ray's muscular body, delivering a potent toxicant. Teeth help form our words, allowing us to poison others with spite, malice, and lies.
If you have been attacked by this fearsome weapon, Ray has come to give you the strength to take heart and cast from your mind the venom that is morphing into ever-more destructive thought.
Malice dwelt upon gains strength;
ignored its power diminishes daily."
Additionally, when we first hear those dreaded words: de-clutter, let go. We (me!!!) often panic and bristle and become defensive. It's like the weapon of the Ray and the way some people have sharp mouths.
As this one says, if we give none of it our attention, it can't harm us. We don't think about it, we move along, releasing and letting go, feeling more and more free with each and every step.

University of Queensland students form Turkic club
A group of UQ students formed a student club to embrace and explore their Turkic roots. UQ Turkic Union is an apolitical and non-religious club; dedicated to uniting all UQ students from the Turkic background. The club is all about celebrating the common heritage; culture; languages and history of Turkic peoples around the world.
The average Australian might not be aware that Turkish people have common ethnic roots with the people of Azerbaijan; Uighur (autonomous region in China); Kazakhstan (not the fictional country in Borat series); Tatarstan (an autonomous republic near Moscow); Kyrgyzstan; Turkmenistan; Uzbekistan and Hungary (surprised?). This is thanks to the nomadic and adventurous nature of our ancestors from central Asian steppes who just could not just stay in one part of the world but conquered or settled in at different parts of Asia and Europe.
Despite being the first Turkic club in Australian universities; the group already attracted more than 80 members and was nominated for UQ's best student club awards. The club also welcomes non-Turkic members who are interested in Turkic culture and already organized many gatherings to form stronger bonds between students. The "Whirling Dervishes" event at Brisbane is also being co-organized by this young and ambitious group
The club guarantees "delicious food; warm environment and happy smiles as well as little bit of learning about the unique culture of Turkic people" on their Facebook fan page. If you would like to be a part of this peerless experience; visit their page to join http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_200443569993046

Can Vitamin C Replace Walking?
A study of overweight and obese people, at the University of Colorado, Boulder, found that taking 500 mg daily of time-released vitamin C produces some of the same benefits as walking daily for exercise. Both reduce levels of a protein (called endothelin) that constricts blood vessels, thereby elevating risk for heart disease. The research was presented at the 14th International Conference on Endothelin: Physiology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutics, in Savannah, Ga.

The Woodward Cup Promotion / Relegation match was played yesterday at Templeton Golf Club in very warm weather and the course in great condition.
This year's event matched the highest placed teams in Blank Cup (Clearwater) and Canterbury Central Shield (Hororata), that do not already have a team in Woodward Cup with the tenth placed team in this year's Woodward Cup (Avondale) for their place in the 2019 Woodward Cup competition. The format was gross stableford.
Hororata earned the honour of promotion to the 2019 Woodward Cup proving too strong for Clearwater and Avondale with consistency being the key, having seven out of their eight players finishing with 30 plus stableford points.
Hororata finished with 248 points, ahead of Avondale on 241 and Clearwater with 228.
Pictured below from left, are Hororata's Shane Blakely, Blair Dibley, Owen Miller, Mark Weatherley, Al Sime, Andrew Inch, Roy Stieller and Anton Fouchee.

While the much-discussed Huckabee press conference yesterday was clearly the oddest event I've seen in Iowa, today's series of Mitt Romney events were pretty durn weird. In an attempt to humanize the fairly robotic Romney, his campaign scheduled a series of Mittmobile stops at private residences where football watch parties were taking place. I made it to the party at the Richardson residence in a suburb on the eastern outskirts of Des Moines. About 40 neighbors and friends of the Richardsons (and many more media) were in the basement of their tract home in a golf course community. If Romney is to win Iowa, he's got to run up huge margins in neighborhoods like this, populated by upper-middle class voters drawn to a businessman emphasizing his "management skills." Introduced by his youngest son, Craig Romney, the former governor gave a 10-12 minute talk from a riser just next to the TV where the University of Michigan had just pulled off its victory over Florida. Hitting his key themes of the campaign (the war on "radical violent jihad," cutting government spending, and immigration), Romney also took a couple of jabs at an unnamed Mike Huckabee saying that "This is not a time for frivolity." He also emphasized that Iowans wouldn't be wasting their vote on him because he's "not a one-hit wonder," but a viable candidate in many early states.
The problem with the event was that, in the attempt to humanize Romney through placing him in the basement of a home with people eating jalapeno poppers and pizza, it only made his inability to naturally connect with real people more stark. [At one point, Romney had difficulty remembering the words to "America, the Beautiful."]
There was only one oblique reference to Romney's Mormonism. As he talked with voters after the speech, one woman quickly sat down her wine glass in some embarrassment. Romney, showing the one bit of real humor during the event said, "Oh, that's not illegal. Well, it is for me, but not for you."
As for that "frivolity," I'm now off to tonight's big event, Huckabee's appearance with his new pal Chuck Norris. Times associate editor John Williams should be meeting me there.

Bayes' theorem describes the probability of occurrence of an event related to any condition. It is also considered for the case of conditional probability. For example: if we have to calculate the probability of taking a blue ball from the second bag out of three different bags of balls, where each bag contains three different colour balls viz. red, blue, black. In this case, the probability of occurrence of an event is calculated depending on other conditions is known as conditional probability.
Bayes Theorem Proof
Statement:Let E1, E2,…,En be a set of events associated with a sample space S, where all the events E1, E2,…,En have nonzero probability of occurrence and they form a partition of S. Let A be any event associated with S, then according to Bayes theorem,
\(P(E_i│A)~=~\frac{P(E_i)P(A│E_i)}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}P(E_k)P(A| E_k)}\)
for any k = 1, 2, 3, …., n
Proof:According to conditional probability formula,
\(P(E_i│A)~=~\frac{P(E_i ∩ A)}{P(A)}\) ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯(1)
Using multiplication rule of probability,
\(P(E_i ∩ A)~= ~P(E_i)P(A │E_i)\)⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯(2)
Using total probability theorem,
\(P(A)~=~\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}~P(E_k)P(A| E_k)\)⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯(3)
Putting the values from equations (2) and (3) in equation 1, we get
\(P(E_i│A)~=~\frac{P(E_i)P(A│E_i)}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n~P(E_k)P(A| E_k)}\)
Bayes Theorem Formula
If A and B are two events, then the formula for Bayes theorem is given by:
Where P(A|B) is the probability of condition when event A is occurring while event B has already occurred.
P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and event B
P(B) is the probability of event B
Examples and Solutions
Some illustrations will improve the understanding of the concept.
Example 1:
A bag I contain 4 white and 6 black balls while another Bag II contains 4 white and 3 black balls. One ball is drawn at random from one of the bags, and it is found to be black. Find the probability that it was drawn from Bag I.
Let \(E_1\) be the event of choosing the bag I, \(E_2\) the event of choosing the bag II, and A be the event of drawing a black ball.
Then,\(P(E_1)~ = ~P(E_2)~ =~\frac{1}{2}\)
Also,\(P(A|E_1) ~= ~P\)(drawing a black ball from Bag I) = \(\frac{6}{10}~ = ~\frac{3}{5}\)
\(P(A|E_2) ~=~ P\)(drawing a black ball from Bag II) = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
By using Bayes' theorem, the probability of drawing a black ball from bag I out of two bags,
\(P(E_1 |A)~ =~\frac{P(E_1)P(A|E_1)}{P(E_1 )P(A│E_1 )+ P(E_2)P(A|E_2)}\)
=\(\large\frac{\frac{1}{2}~\times~\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{1}{2}~\times~\frac{3}{7}~+~\frac{1}{2}~ ×~\frac{3}{5}}\) = \(\frac{7}{12}\)
Example 2:
A man is known to speak truth 2 out of 3 times. He throws a die and reports that number obtained is a four. Find the probability that the number obtained is actually a four.
Let \(A\) be the event that the man reports that number four is obtained.
Let \(E_1\) be the event that four is obtained and \(E_2\) be its complementary event.
Then, \(P(E_1)\) = Probability that four occurs = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(P(E_2)\) = Probability that four does not occurs = \(1 ~–~ P(E_1) ~=~ 1~-\frac{1}{6}~ =~\frac{5}{6}\)
Also, \(P(A|E_1)\) = Probability that man reports four and it is actually a four = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(P(A|E_2)\) = Probability that man reports four and it is not a four = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
By using Bayes' theorem, probability that number obtained is actually a four,
\(P(E_1 |A)~ \) \(= \large \frac{P(E_1)P(A|E_1)}{P(E_1 )P(A│E_1 )~+~ P(E_2)P(A|E_2)}~
=~\frac{\frac{1}{6} ~ ×~ \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{6} ~×~ \frac{2}{3}~ +~ \frac{5}{6}~ ×~\frac{1}{3}}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)

"Everyone will be salted with fire…
Keep salt in yourselves"
Keep salt in yourselves"
Mark 9:49,50 (cf. Leviticus 2:13; Matthew 5:13)
Prayer and conversation with God is a supreme good—it is a partnership and union with God. As the eyes of the body are enlightened when they see light, so our spirit, when it is intent on God, is illumined by his infinite light. I do not mean the prayer of outward observance but prayer from the heart, not confined to fixed times or periods, but continuous throughout the day and night.
Our spirit should be quick to reach out toward God, not only when it is engaged in meditation; at other times also, when it is carrying out its duties, caring for the needy, performing works of charity, giving generously in the service of others, our spirit should long for God and call him to mind, so that these works may be seasoned with the salt of God's love, and so make a palatable offering to the Lord of the universe. Throughout the whole of our lives we may enjoy the benefit that comes from prayer if we devote a great deal of time to it.
Prayer gives joy to the spirit, peace to the heart. I speak of prayer, not words. It is the longing for God, love too deep for words, a gift not given by man but by God's grace. The apostle Paul says: We do not know how we are to pray but the Spirit himself pleads for us with inexpressible longings [Romans 8:26].
When the Lord gives this kind of prayer to someone, he gives riches that cannot be taken away, heavenly food that satisfies the spirit. One who tastes this food is set on fire with an eternal longing for the Lord: his spirit burns as in a fire of the utmost intensity.
--St. John Chrysostom

Photography Before Kodachrome: The One Hundred Year Search for Color
While black and white defined fine art photography for many years, initially the lack of color in photographic images was seen as a serious deficiency by photographers and viewers alike. For most of its history, the remedy was to add pigment in a range of imaginative, often brilliant ways, while waiting for technology to solve the riddle of permanent color. This exhibit will present an array of vintage photographs with applied color but will culminate in examples of advancing color technologies, including nostalgic autochromes that filled the color void until Kodachrome.

It's good to see a rel lawman on his way back to becoming Sheriff of McLennan County. I've known Parnell McNamara all my life, and never in my years have I seen a more fitting man to be our Sheriff. In the age of dirty politics and campaigns built on attack ads, Parnell stood by the values he was raised on and ran on his record and reputation. Despite being the target of some rather distasteful and disrespectful ads, he showed the calm and cool head of the veteran peace officer his looks naturally portray. He's no stranger to being a target considering his vast experience handling some of the worst of the worst ever to come to Texas. It's no wonder the voters of McLennan County elected him as Sheriff. The Sheriff is the people's lawman, and they have had enough of an administrator standing in for a lawman.ReplyDelete

Yeah, Parnell didn't involve himself in attack ads.... He left that to others on the web to do for him on facebook and on this site.....ReplyDelete
But hey, why let facts get in the wayReplies

The "others" have been attacking Lynch and Plemons for years. That's what happens when you mistreat people for years and years. Parnell never asked anyone to attack Plemons, and I know he got mad over a few of those attacks by the "others" because he knew he would get blamed for them.Delete
But hey, sour grapes make "whine" sweeter.

Plemons, lynch and their little click of "wanna be" lawmen like them are all has-beens now. There is nothing more pathetic than a sore loser, who is a cry baby. the Lynch/Plemons bunch need to stay on the porch, and never get off of it again. It's rough out there guys,you might get hurt.ReplyDelete

The deputies who want to keep their jobs, will do a great job for the next 7 months, and actually work, and go above and beyond the call of duty. The deputies who dont want their jobs come Jan. 1, will continue to slack off for the next 7 months. They will definitely be watchedReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 31, 2012 at 5:31 PM
I think you meant to say that Lynch and Plemons have been mistreating and bullying people for years. Now that they are losers, they want to continue to whine about it. The truth is, Lynch would never have been sheriff if he had ever had a real opponent. He just lucked out for the last 12 years. Lynch is a joke.ReplyDelete

Lynch had a good public image. Most had no idea the type of person he really was. He did a good job controlling the media and flow of information to the general public.ReplyDelete

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Rain showers are expected to wash over southern Minnesota Monday night and Tuesday, leaving some communities drenched with several inches of rain.
WCCO-TV meteorologist Matt Brickman says scattered showers will start popping up across the state Monday evening, with more persistent showers moving in early Tuesday morning.
"It'll be a wet back-to-school," Brickman said.
The heavy rain is expected to continue through the day Tuesday, drenching the southeastern corner of the state.
One area, in a line from Owatonna to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, could see rain totals between 3 to 4 inches.
With such rainfall comes of the possibility of flash flooding. The National Weather Service says that if drivers encounter a flooded road, they should not drive through it.
"Turn around, don't drown," weather officials posted on Twitter.
As for the Twin Cities metro area, communities there could see 1 to 2 inches of rainfall.
By Wednesday morning, the rain clouds are expected to move out of Minnesota.
After that, conditions should be dry through the rest of the week, with temperatures in the mid-70s, which is average this time of year.

What is brand marketing? Mostly, when we think of the words brand and marketing, we think of a
- Product
- Service
- Logo
- Store
that will provide us with specific products and services.
But when you're a sales rep, your brand marketing should go much further.
This is where the importance of branding yourself comes into play.
Indeed, your product and service should have a brand, but perhaps it's even more critical that you do!
John Endries is a Powersports Sales-Rep. This competitive niche is interesting in the way that he has to build his business face-to-face, which some would say is "Old school marketing," given the digital age of technology that is so vital to be part of these days.
Sales-reps have to make an impression to stay:
- Top-of-mind and;
- Build brand loyalty
Especially in between the face-to-face visits.
John has become a pro at brand marketing, especially when it comes to branding himself!
In this interview below learn how John went from the worst year in his industry to thriving in 6 months by branding himself. He shares how he went from slow times and falling short of his financial goal, to the best 2 years that he's had thus far…
Kody Bateman: Hello, everybody. Welcome to our Relationship Marketing podcast. We got a very exciting show for you today. Just want to thank everybody for tuning in and subscribing to the Relationship Marketing podcast. We've got some amazing people on this show over the past couple of months. You want to go on there and check that out, watch those podcast. It's amazing the people that come on here and their willingness to give up themselves, their time, their talents, their abilities, all their expertise so that they freely give to us on the show.
And I just – I want to reach out to all of our guest and thank you – can't thank you enough for the content that you've provided for us on the show. We're going to continue that today. We have a very good friend of mine on the show today. We've had the chance to do some things that we like to do together. He's a big motorcycle guy and I'm motorcycle guy. And we've got chance to go out the desert playing the dirt together a little bit. And without further ado, I'd like to welcome to our show today, John Endries from Florida. John, welcome to the show.
John Endries: Thanks, Kody.
Kody Bateman: Yeah. So, let's talk a little bit, and you notice, most of you are listening in a podcast format so you can't see John. But those of you who look on YouTube and watch our show on YouTube, you could that John is actually in his work truck. Let me tell you a little bit about John and what he does. John is 30 years in the industry of the motorcycle industry. He's actually an independent sales rep then he goes out and calls on motorcycle shops and apparel stores and different things in the motor sports industry and has been doing it for a long time. He is the owner of Superior Powersports Services.
Now, this is an industry that's right up my alley. I mean I'd love motor sports. I love going to the dealerships. Anywhere I go I'd like to stop in at dealerships and John, I think you have the dream job. I do. I would love to be able to go for place to place and go visit different dealerships and whatnot and offer products and services to them which you get the opportunity to do. You're an independent sales rep for eight different companies and represent motor sports wholesale, sales rep, prospects, dealerships and accessory stores.
You're coming to us out of your truck today and always like – you've actually been on one of my shows before where you're in that same spot. You're actually sitting right in your truck and you're out there working today calling on accounts whatnot. You got a helmet sitting there on the dash of the truck. Oh wow! You got some cool helmets on the dash of the truck.
John Endries: Yeah, it's new stuff.
Kody Bateman: Yeah. That looks good. I'm liking that motocross helmet I just saw, I might have to…
John Endries: Oh I know you're going for that. That's got your name written all over it so you have to work on that one again.
Kody Bateman: Yeah, that does. We'll have to talk about that. We'll have to talk about that.
John Endries: That's right. August will be here before we know it.
Kody Bateman: Yeah, no kidding. So let's talk. I mean this is a very interesting niche that you're involved with and been doing it for long, long time. You know it's kind of interesting, we live in a day and age now where a lot of things are done via internet and you're one of the old school guys. You're still going out there and you're calling on accounts, you're getting face to face with people, belly to belly. You're showing your wares. You're showing your products. That's kind of a lost art anymore. I mean you know and so you're out there doing it every day.
So, what's it like competing with the internet. I mean I know that dealerships now can just go online and find stuff on their own. I mean what is – and I'm sure things have shifted for you. There are a lot of our listeners that are in the same boat. Whatever industry they're in, where Amazon and everything else is shifting what all of us are doing and you're still experiencing great success in kind of the – I don't want to say old school format but it kind of is. You know, you're out there calling every day. So, what's that like for you?
John Endries: It's been a challenge. I won't disagree with you at all. You know, and you mean to say, what Amazon is an 800-pound gorilla out there. There's – fortunately, at least for the product lines that I represent, there's a thing that's called MAP pricing so there's a way of at least for the dealers to be competitive, the brick and mortar stores to be competitive with online where there's – it's called Minimum Advertised Price so it's like if it's 199.99 then nobody gets to go below that. So, at least it evens the playing field.
And then you've got dealers that actually that will sell on Amazon. So, I have one of my top dealers actually Amazon is he feeds the animal. So, it's helping me. So I'm kind of working both sides of it but the brick and mortar is still where the bulk of business is being done.
Kody Bateman: So, yeah, I mean the interesting thing about the whole – I like it you called Amazon gorilla or whatever. And again, the whole world is kind of shifting to that. But it's interesting because the last art that's being created out there is that one-on-one relationship with people.
John Endries: Right.
Kody Bateman: So, talk to us a little bit about that the importance of getting face-to-face with people versus having them stare the screen.
John Endries: Yeah, a good example of that is a brand new line that I picked up. You know it's highly competitive, if you – it's just inexpensive sunglasses. You go into almost any store and there's a rack you know with those $20 sunglasses it's an impulse buy. There's a lot of competition in that market. And just, I believe I picked the line up two weeks ago and have been very successful in converting people from other brands to mine just because I'm coming in. Literally, a dealer has said, "You know what? You're here every month, it's yours. Just fill out and take care of it." And I have been very surprised on how often that's happened just because of the fact that I have been stuffing in for the last seven years that that relationship makes a bigger deal. And the guys at the sunglass company told me, "You don't see that. You just got to go out there and try it." It's happening. It's pretty cool.
Kody Bateman: So what's the sunglass brand?
John Endries: Undercover Eyewear is the brand name. They're one of the big you know – there are four really big companies out there. It's again, off brand stuff, it's not like a Ray-Ban or an Oakley. It's your $15 to $40 retail products including goggles over. So…
Kody Bateman: So, when you go in to store, when you go into a dealership with a product like that, do they – like do they have the displays and stuff? Like do you setup displays to put the sunglasses on? And do some of that sunglass [0:07:16] [Crosstalk].
John Endries: Both, a little bit of both. Yeah, a little bit of both. Some of the stores have existing racks already. They may have had from my company you know from years ago but they haven't had her up for a while. And they got to fill will [0:07:27] [Phonetic] on people products and no where I'm filling somebody else's rack, same thing. So it's a doggy dog pretty competitive world out there on the sunglasses.
Kody Bateman: OK. So, you're sitting in your truck and you have supplies in your truck, right? I mean what do you have back in the truck there?
John Endries: back in the truck is full of samples. There are probably 40 helmets back there. There is – you can catch a little glimpse here there's a little bit of audio. I've got EMTV [0:07:55] [Phonetic] audio sitting back here that's all powered up. I got the only traveling showroom in the entire United States with powered up and sound. You could crank it up. I have all my sunglass samples. There's lots of neck braces. Yeah, there's – the truck is full. It's an old FedEx truck so there's a lot of shelving back here.
Kody Bateman: So, you say it's full of samples, so when you go into a store that you're calling on, you have a tangible sample there that you can – they can touch it, feel it, look at it, have you explain it.
John Endries: Correct.
Kody Bateman: Versus going on line. It's kind of interesting because you know my wife, Jody, she's a big Amazon – you know she shops on Amazon all the time. And it's like almost every day there's some drop-off at the front door. And she's gotten really, really good at the whole Amazon shopping thing. But I still struggle a little bit with it because I had like to see what I'm buying, you know I like to see stuff. And kind of believe if I'm running a dealership selling motorcycles and you know I've got a rep coming in that wants to offer new helmets or new accessory or new pipes or new something, I don't know, man. I just like to touch and see it which is kind of cool that you're out still driving the truck. So, how many stops do you make? I mean how many places do you call on?
John Endries: Every day is a little different but it's anywhere from four to eight stops in a day. It all depends on how big the account is. My goal is that I get big enough. I'm only hitting two in the morning and two in the afternoon but those days are still getting there.
Kody Bateman: But you do that every day? You do that…
John Endries: I'm out, yeah, five days a week, Monday to Friday in the different parts of the States. So, I mean you know one week, I might be in the Tampa area. Last week I was around the Miami metro area. This week I'm running Orlando down the Fort Myers and Naples. So, it's different parts of the state. I mean it's – yeah, I run on eight-week schedule. I've most typically more of a four but there's an eight-rotation in that too. So, I've been doing that. And that has worked for me over the years. I mean there are some people that's still kind of shocked kind of as to where am I going today?
You know I have been doing this for 30 years and when I started as a 23-year-old kid in this industry, you know that's kind of what I figured we need to do. I needed to be consistent because nobody knew who I was. I'm the new kid on the block. They don't know me from nobody so I had to just – for almost a year I had to just keep showing up just people to even believe me that I was keep coming back because there are so many reps that show up one or two times and then you never see him again. So, it's all consistency and keeping in front of them.
Kody Bateman: Now, you're a real motorhead I mean you like to get out and get into the motor sports, you know you've got the toys, you do the plan. So I got to believe there's a real passion behind what you're doing. I mean like I said, you and I are looking at the helmet that's on your dashboard there and I'm still giddy about that orange helmet that I'm staring at. So, when you get a new product from a manufacturer, you get that helmet line or you get the new sunglass line or the pipe line or whatever, do you still get that same exhilaration, same excitement that you did when you were 23 years old?
John Endries: Oh yeah. Well, if it's – if it's something like this and it's exciting, it's got some features that nobody else has and we're setting the industry on its ear. And you know you're going to move some numbers, nothing – nothing cheers a salesman I don't know, more than knowing he can make a few buck off of selling something.
Kody Bateman: Well, it's exciting. It's not only making the bucks off selling something, it's being excited about what you're selling. And I think that's really an important message for those listening here today, is find your passion. You know, John has a passion for motor sports and so that's probably you know, and it – like you say, it's a very competitive world in what you're doing. You stay in it because of your passion for the products and whatnots. So, it's very important to find that passion and stick to that passion and make anything work.
Let's shift a little bit. I want to – let's talk about some of strategies. I mean obviously, you need to do a lot of things to stay top of mind with your client base. You implement a relationship marketing strategy over the past, probably the past year or so. And you've got some pretty compelling stories, pretty compelling stories around sending tangible real greeting cards and using our relationship marketing system. In fact, I'd like you to just share with our audience your story when you first started using the system. In fact, I think the way you started at is you sent a card to 80 of your clients, kind of an appreciation card. Can you kind of just walk us through that and what happened?
John Endries: Right. When I first got started with SendOutCards with the service here, I mean I had some help. I have to say, without Darla, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now. She is the absolute – I can't even say enough for her. I appreciate her so much. But she has helped me along the way, helped me designed a cards that I'm going to use. I give her some ideas and she kind of maybe tweaks a little bit.
But you know a good example like to the very first card I sent out was just a basic thank you card. And on the inside I put all the different dealers and I put all the different logos on the top. And then on the inside I just put you know, "Dear Craig, I just want to thank you so much for your business. It's a great appreciated." And then sign my name on the bottom. That was the basic card that went out at the very beginning and got some really good responses off of it.
Kody Bateman: And how many people did you send that to?
John Endries: The first one I believe was 80, 80 people.
Kody Bateman: OK and when you say you got responses off of it, like how did they respond? They call you? What did they do?
John Endries: I had a few phone calls. I got a lot of texts. And when I stopped in and even you know you're like finding all the cards landing on their desk yet, so they've kept it. There's nobody else sending out cards. I mean I watch and as I go through the year, I send out a different card every month. And you know the funny cards especially you know like because I have always been putting some humor in my cards, those will stay on their desks for quite a while. So, they appreciate it.
Kody Bateman: Yeah, that's great. So, you started by doing this and didn't you do this during your kind of a slow season for you. You kind of started sending this out or implemented this in slow time?
John Endries: July 2017, things were getting really quiet as July is typically are here in Florida. It sounds weird but you know, we're backwards from everybody else. July is one of our slowest times of the year in the motorcycle industry. So, I started sending out the cards and I started working it and by the end of the year, I had my best year ever. 2017 out of the 30 plus years within the industry was my best year I'd ever had. So, in six months to completely turn around what has happening just by sending out thank you cards and then you know occasional brownies once in a while doesn't hurt either.
Kody Bateman: So, do you attribute most of that to it? Because whenever there's a turnaround in business, what I have found is that there are usually multiple things that help the turnaround. So, do you attribute most of that turnaround just to the cards and the relationship system? Or, were there other factors that you think might have played into it?
John Endries: You know, it had a lot – it had almost entirely to do with the cards. I literally, in the tail-end of 2017, I actually lost one of my best lines. It went from going through independent reps to a distributor. So, the last four months of the year, I didn't have my best line that I had. So I had to somehow make it up with everything else that I had. And I don't know what else to say. I mean I didn't do anything different other than just keep working my accounts and working on whatever programs that were available from the manufacturers and it happened. And then…
Kody Bateman: That's pretty amazing.
John Endries: In addition to that, you had a video out that I watched and took to heart. You know it was talking about if you will 10T, I guarantee you'll 2B, double your business. So, 10 tangible touch in a year that you'll double your business. And I said I had nothing to lose so I continued on that and that's why I kept working that system. And I truly believed it worked because I give it – so I'll give you that example that continued on from 2017.
So now, 2018, I didn't lose just one line, I lost three lines. It's kind of the way an independent life goes, you gain lines, you lose lines. So, the three lines that I lost in the tail-end of 2017 was $50,000 in income. So, reality is I started January 1st, 2018, $50,000 less than I made the previous year. So, I had to make up that 50 grand just to try and even start getting even from where I was the year before. And I could tell you that 2018, I was up from 2017. It was actually my best year last year.
Kody Bateman: Wow! So, you started in the hole and you ended up with your best year ever just off at doing this.
John Endries: Yeah.
Kody Bateman: Now you do some pretty cool stuff now. I mean you do a lot of things with the cards today. Can you just kind of walk us through some of the process that you do?
John Endries: So, I've learned that people you know, I've got a sense of humor that people are starting to appreciate it. Even on my Christmas cards, I put a little sense of humor in it. You know I pick up some memes off the internet and have some fun, lighten up a little bit. Same thing on the inside, and then just pout you know, "Dear Craig, You know I'm so grateful for my family and loved ones for all your support over the years. Thank you once again and may you and your family have a happy, healthy holiday season. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." And then sign my name on the bottom. So, Christmas…
Kody Bateman: OK. So, real quick, those that are watching on YouTube, they can actually kind of see what you're holding up there for those of our listeners.
John Endries: Right.
Kody Bateman: Yeah, you got some pretty creative cards there. Like you've got some animation going on, you know you've got some cartoony-type stuff going on with some quotes n them that – yeah, there you go. So, right now, he's showing a picture of Santa with a little quote mark and there's humor and stuff going on. So yeah, very cool. Ho Ho! Hello everyone! So…
John Endries: Yeah.
Kody Bateman: …when people look at that, it's like, wow! How do you make that card? I mean how do you find the imagery? How do you make that card and get it out in an efficient way?
John Endries: So, the service you guys offer is amazing. All these cards – I mean all these pictures, almost all of them I pull up the internet as a meme or pictures on the inside I'm going to show you a fun one and Kody is going to appreciate this one anybody can watch it. We went riding last year and I sent this card to everybody that was on the ride. I mean that was awesome. I said we all need to remember that because that was so much fun.
Kody Bateman: Yeah.
John Endries: You know, so these are just pictures you have on your phone or pictures you have on your computers that you could download into the service and you just, you can load it right on the card. It's super fast, super easy to do. You can now adjust the sizing and colors a little bit. It just makes it so easy to do.
Kody Bateman: Yeah, That's great. Now, you've mentioned that you have people that kind of trained you how to do that. You mentioned the name Darla who is Relationship Marketing Specialist who actually – and we have lots of those, in fact, you've become a Relationship Marketing specialist yourself, a referral partner for SendOutCards so you can actually show others how to do that as well.
John Endries: Correct.
Kody Bateman: And you kind of mentioned the importance of that. You were coached through how to start using this system and you know I'm sure Darla was probably the one that showed you how to pull an image off of the internet and put them on to a card. That's one of the neat things we offer in SendOutCards where this system comes from is that we have thousands and thousands of independent referring partners that can show people how to do that. So, I think that's a real important aspect. And again, you know it's just cool, you got some other stuff too. I mean you've got a lot of stuff. I love how you touched on the customer at least once a month. What are some of the other things that you do?
John Endries: I send them out – I'm going to – here's a great one that happened you know we talk about watching for people, things that are happening in people's lives. I've had two close friends of mine that lost their mom last year and I went on and pick some pictures off the internet because everybody posts up on Facebook and stuff. So, I pulled pictures off of their mom alone, you know good times, you know younger, older, you know family pictures and put it all together and send it over that says, "You know, it's always a challenging time when you lose somebody special but just remember that you love…" something along that line. I can't remember what it was. "And just always remember the good times." It's what I always make sure I put on there.
Six months later, we are at an event, we're at a camp on event and this big guy come up to me and he says, "I need to talk." I'm like, "OK." And he pulls me off to the side and he gave me the biggest hug you've ever seen. He said, "That card was just absolutely amazing." He said, "Thank you so much for that card." And I was just like, "You're welcome." I mean it's just I've never seen this guy, you know, just like when I talk about my dad, I mean the emotions some of these cards are bringing out is just it's pretty cool.
Kody Bateman: Well, it kind of shows you know people are starving for that. People are starving to feel appreciated and starving to feel like somebody cares about them you know. And that's one of the cool things about sending a card especially like you've just shown some great examples. You know, we went on that ride last year and you made sure you took pictures of the ride and we all got cards from you from that. And it does mean a lot. And I still have the cards you sent me. And you know we save them all. So, and…
John Endries: Right.
Kody Bateman: And it's great memories because then we're up there doing stuff we love to do. That actually, that ride that we did last April I think it was out in the desert in Utah, I mean that's one of my fondest memories. I mean we had a wonderful time out there. I remember we had the – Shawn Galloway [0:22:43] [Phonetic] was with us. We had the drone is flying and we were, in fact, we even made a little video. We made a little video of that [0:22:50] [Crosstalk].
John Endries: We did. And afterwards, I finally figured out how to use my camera so we could have some good sound too. I didn't have the audio set, right?
Kody Bateman: That's right. Well, I'll tell you what? You know, it's always a delight to have you on the show. We'll have you come back and just share some of your success stories. As we close out, I just want you – this is the time, I always like to end the show with just kind of giving you the floor. I mean this is your time to just share with people a message that you think is important for them to hear whether it's relationship marketing-oriented or even life-oriented, what you've learned about using this relationship system, what you've learned in your business and what you've learned about it and the personal life. Just close out the show and share some wisdom from John. Go ahead.
John Endries: What this service has done for me is not just help build my business. It has made me a better person. And it's allowed me to see more of myself I guess what I'm looking for, the words I'm looking for here, how to care for people a little more. You know, lots of things in life, we have to learn by trial and error and hopefully got to coach and hopefully got somebody that could help you a little bit too or somebody even talk to. There are so many people like Kody was saying, just starving for attention. There's this people, they won't talk to anybody so if you clamed up, it doesn't help.
I have been fortunate enough to have an awesome mentor and I've mentioned her name before about Darla. I told her I said I put 100% faith in her. When I started with SendOutCards, I completely emptied out my savings account and signed up for this. I am absolutely hanging on to your code tails and I will figure this thing out. And she said, "If you do what I tell you to do, we'll get through this." And it –I put trust in somebody. And she has done nothing but steering me to the right direction.
So, don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for people a little extra help and attention. It pays off. And sometimes don't look necessarily at the cost it might cost you per month. You know, like I said, the response that I got from my dad was worth every penny I've ever spent on this you know when he was just in tears when I told him how much I loved him in one of the cards. I mean it was just a basic Father's Day card but something I really sent from the heart for a change. And go from the heart, it will work.
Kody Bateman: Well, there you have it everybody, John, Endries from Super Powersports Services out of Florida. John, we loved having you on the show. We'll probably have you come on again here soon. And keep side down, brother. Keep things going good, stay safe, and appreciate to all you do.

For 3 years I've been seeing this same response.... 3 years since you released the MySQLi extension... eCart got an immediate upgrade and DataBridge is still in limbo. I can't use your products to build anything new so I've been forced to move on and hope that someday you might catch up.
I like webassist products... I wish I could use them! I check back every 3 - 4 months with a little anticipation... only to continually be disappointed!

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A new poll by The Baltimore Sun and the University of Baltimore shows that two mayoral candidates are locked in a virtual tie and surging ahead of other candidates.
State Senator Catherine Pugh is leading the pack and former mayor Sheila Dixon right on her heels.
Pugh has a narrow advantage with 26 percent. That's a big increase in support for her up 8 points from the last poll in January.
Dixon is close behind her with 24 percent that's a slight drop since that last poll.
Coming in third well behind Pugh and Dixon is Maryland businessman and political newcomer David Warnock. He's heavily advertised on television and at 10 percent has doubled his numbers from the last poll.
Clustered together below Warnick are Baltimore City councilman Nick Mosby with 6 percent, former prosecutor Elizabeth Embry with 5 percent and Baltimore City councilman Carl Stokes with 3 percent.
Baltimore Sun political reporter Luke Broadwater tells WJZ many of those polled are dissatisfied with how things are going and Pugh seems to signal change.
A quarter of those polled are still undecided.
