In the age of the customer, five words – respect, relevance, trust, loyalty and love – spell the difference between brand value and disaster. B-to-b companies have seen the writing on the wall – they're investing millions of dollars and hours in the transformation from product-centricity to audience-centricity. They've embraced personas; account-based marketing; and tracking data about customer behaviors, preferences, sentiment and satisfaction.
"But everything we're hearing from customers shows that despite our best efforts, customers trust b-to-b companies less now than they did five years ago," said Isabel Montesdeoca today at her Summit keynote session with Peter Ostrow in Austin.
Isabel and Peter emphasized that b-to-b provider actions are making a negative impact on customers because their efforts are driven by flawed assumptions about what drives customer engagement and trust.
"Without understanding, we can't deliver the kind of respectful and relevant interactions that motivate the emotions we introduced earlier," Peter said. "And if we don't interact with our customers in a respectful and relevant way, how can we develop a constructive, long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationship with them – the kind that fosters trust, loyalty and love?"
Knowing that better interactions will lead to customer trust, providers must shift their viewpoint once and for all from "what's in it for the company" to "what's in it for the customer" to ensure all interactions are built on a foundation of respect and relevance.
To help organizations break down the move to customer focus into tangible steps, SiriusDecisions has developed the Respect and Relevance Continuum. It contains five milestones or principles that support respectful, relevant interactions. Each of these milestones builds on the preceding one and expands the breadth and depth of customer-centricity:
Within the Respect and Relevance Continuum, each milestone has five components: triggers (external and/or internal signs that trigger the need to transform), rationale (a clear business case), sponsorship (who defines the vision), execution (who's responsible for driving progress and delivering on the vision) and outcomes (what the transformation hopes to achieve).
"The shift to a customer-focused organization must have customer experience and profitability as equal goals," stated Isabel, "so outcomes should be financial and cultural."
As with all transformational change, b-to-b organizations must identify the change drivers they'll use to alert them to the need to invest in change. Rather than change as a reaction to an event (e.g. loss of a big deal or customer, embarrassing publicity, a new competitor), best-in-class organizations change proactively, seeking to disrupt the market, delight customers and outflank competitors.
Organizations should use the Respect and Relevance Continuum to continuously improve internal and external brand excellence. "Start looking for the signals that tell you it's time to make sure all interactions protect customers' privacy and comply with their wishes, and you will gain their respect," Peter advised. "Personalize all interactions appropriately, and customers will see that you offer relevance, not noise. Deliver help and support dynamically in real time, and customers will trust that you can help them. Ensure all interactions are seamlessly interconnected for every customer, and customer loyalty will grow. Design all interactions to be as effortless as possible for your customers, and become a brand they love."

Neck pain? Back pain? You could use a chiropractor! But that isn't all the chiropractor is good for! Chiropractic care has been shown effective in treating a host of conditions that don't always present themselves with back or neck pain. Have a kiddo who suffers frequent ear infections?

Realigning the spine to help restore proper function and communication is an important step in prompting healing in the body. Make your chiropractor your primary care doctor!
What initially brought you to Lake Pointe? Was it that morning you woke up and couldn't turn your head? Was it the tragic results of your attempts at conquering that yard work? Was it that time after the Olympics that you HAD to try out cupping? Was it a desperate, last-ditch effort to solve your infant's digestion troubles? Patients find themselves at Lake Pointe for a variety of reasons. Maybe yours is low back pain, but did you know that necks, backs, and sore muscles aren't our only area of expertise?

Pinterest...ok so it's really not what I need but I love it! I can be on there for hours pinning away! Now if you don't know what in the world I'm talking about go HERE.(<----CLICK) It's really not something I can easily explain. I get a lot of inspiration and ideas for many things, I find funny pictures or quotes, craft ideas, food recipes and many other things. BUT it does take a lot of time out of my day I have to limit myself if not I'll be on there foreeevvveeer!
So speaking of other addicting things, who would have ever thought I would one day call a Kitchenaid mixer my best friend?! Or who would have ever thought I would be so anal about my recipe binders, box. More importantly who would have ever thought I'd actually HAVE a recipe binder???? That I would spend hours organizing, spend money on the cutest recipe cards and more hours reading all kinds of food blogs? Not me! Baking and cooking is like therapy for me now, I don't even mind doing the dishes afterwards and BELIEVE me washing dishes was something I would NEVER in a million years would have said I wouldn't mind doing. Now it's like part of the whole cooking and baking thing.
Procrastination is another addicting thing oh wait I think I actually inherited that and have had it with me since I was born. Yep, I'm a HUGE procrastinator. I've been working in our garage the last few days and my plan today was to finish the last part of it and be done with it. Well of course I got on Pinterest, and read my daily foodie blogs and of course I got the itch to cook/bake something. What about the garage you ask? There's always tomorrow! :) Here's what I made today:
Garlic Cheddar Biscuits (aka Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits)
recipe from HERE
2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 cup cold whole milk
4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese
Brush on Top:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch salt
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
3. Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.
5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in the garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes one dozen biscuits.
*NOTE: I didn't have garlic powder so I used garlic salt.
Man did these come out tasting like cheddar biscuit heaven! So easy and fast to make, these are easily whipped up because of the cold butter and milk you don't have to wait for the butter to get at room temp and to me that is great! I also added a little more cheese and butter than it stated cause yes you guessed it another addiction CHEESE!
I also made Chocolate Toffee Shortbread bars but they are chilling in the fridge, will cut, photograph and post tomorrow!
Goodnight :)

Statement in support of Salman Rushdie
|We have watched with dismay the unnecessary controversy which erupted over the presence of Salman Rushdie at the Jaipur Literary Festival. We strongly disapprove the threats - real or concocted - issued against Rushdie's participation. The state has once again succumbed to retrogressive forces using works of creative expression for their own narrow, partisan and divisive political agendas. SAHMAT has stood by Rushdie in the past, when we defied an unofficial ban on The Moor's Last Sigh by readings on the street in Delhi in 1995. Rushdie has been a frequent visitor to India in the last few years with no problems
|being raised. Indeed, he visited us at SAHMAT and was serenaded by chance by some of the greatest singers of the Rajasthani Manganiyar tradition.
SAHMAT is issuing an open invitation to Salman Rushdie to come to Delhi to deliver a lecture or participate in a discussion on literature at any time of his choosing. We will host him under any circumstances along with an exhibition of the works of the late MF Husain, driven into forced exile by the similar retreat by the state in it's cowardly unwillingness to stand up against communal politics.

Johnny Bush is a hero of Texas honky-tonk, dance-hall music. Early in his career, he worked with Willie Nelson (for whom he wrote "Whiskey River") and was one of Ray Price's Cherokee Cowboys. As a solo artist in the late '60's, Bush scored a few hits, thrilling listeners with his affecting, three-octave singing voice and earning the nickname "The Country Caruso." Tragedy struck in the early '70's when he lost his voice to a rare neurological condition that affected his vocal cords, though after working with a vocal coach he eventually regained about 75 percent of his vocal capacity.
Bush owns the masters of his recordings and has self-released many of them. His "new" "Bob Wills" release consists of tunes originally recorded in 1990 at Nelson's Pedernales studio. The record was in the final mixing stages when the IRS seized it, along with Nelson's other assets, to settle a massive tax debt. The classic Wills sound of the post-war era is modified a bit by adding a horn section which carries many of the instrumental breaks along with the expected guitar, pedal steel and fiddle. The record succeeds best when Bush's wonderful voice takes the lead with his band playing the breaks. The added horn parts, though competently arranged and performed, are at times out of place and swing-impaired.

>Hand made wool rug that is 12 feet by 19 feet and is in my front room. This rug took me about 1 year to make. It is hard to get a good photo of it because of all the furniture.I also took close ups so you could see the color change as it went across the rug. The two red wing back chairs in the photo are antiques that my grandmother gave me. When we got them they where purple vinyl with their springs sitting on the ground. A few mice had made homes in them, and a few wasp's nests were there as well. I think they cleaned up real nice. My husband did the one on the right and I did the one on the left. Team work as my kids would say.

>I started Effie's dress yesterday. I only got the collar, bodice and top of skirt done.I still need to finish the bottom of the skirt and the sleeves. I was going to use cro-tatting on the dress and decided against that because the smallest cro-hooks where way too big for size 30 thread. So I just went with normal shuttle tatting to make her collar. I'm not sure yet; I might put more tatting on her. My husband said, "You have gone a little crazy!!" That is OK. I am sure Nancy Jo is having fun as I am debating whether I am going to use tatting on the hat or embroidery to bring some details out on it . Can't figure out if I like Effie's hat square on her head, like in the first photo of this post, or how I had it tilted in the last post. Both ways of wearing it look cute.

Effie now has a cute little cap, beret or tam whatever you want to call it.
Started to make her dress today, as well. I might go back and do some embroidery on the hat when I am all done making her outfit because it seems a little plain to me. I think I am making her a dress and jacket still; maybe socks and shoes, haven't decided as of yet. I think the jacket will be moss green in color. If I do embroidery, it would probably be bullion roses.
For those who are curious this is size 30 cebelia by DMC color number 223 and a size 11 hook. Her slip is size 10 thread and a size 6 hook, don't know the color number or company (vintage thread).

I am not sure if I look better in real life or through my children's eyes. Also, I am sure my second daughter looks much prettier in real life with her snaggle teeth. Although I have to admit this is quiet the lovely drawing of ones self so happy and joyful.

>Continuation of Romanian Crochet, in the process of making it….
First photo is of the plastic ring, know as a cabone ring, that is used to form rings in the finished piece of lace. You can also make this same ring with just thread by winding it around the end of the hook the crocheting into the center of the loop, the same as you would in Irish crochet.. Then you crochet using single crochet stitches around the ring. The cord is also made using single crochet stitches.
When you have made lots of these two things you can baste them to the pattern. The pattern pictured is from about 1900 and was originally intended to make battenburg/ battenberg (yes it has two spellings) lace. With a few minor tweaks it makes a lovely pattern for Romanian lace.
The last picture is of a piece that is still getting the cord and rings basted to it. The filling needle stitches are started after all the basting is done. I have not done all the basting on this piece yet, so I have not started the filling stitches.
This piece, when completed, will go on top of my husband's up right grand piano. The piece is 6 feet long and 1 1/2 feet wide, so it will take me a while to complete it, but then we will have a lovely piece for the piano.
The last two photos are of a piece that is complete and in my hall. This is not a piece I made, but I though it showed a good amount of filling stitches so that is why I am showing it.

>Romanian Crochet, Romanian Macrame, Romanian Point Lace or Romanian Needle Lace; it is all the same.
This weekend I was doing lots of yard work and got a lovely sunburn. I didn't make much lace, so I thought I would show something I did a few years ago. This, obviously, is a baby bonnet. It is not lined, that is just a burgundy ball of thread I put in it to hold its shape for the photo, showing in a side profile and a back profile. The cord (link to how to make cord) is neat; it is crocheted, but the neat part is that in unravels in both directions. This makes it easy to unravel and join the ends to form lace. After you crochet the cord you baste it to a fabric pattern, and then you fill it with needle stitches. I have taught this several times in different stores such as Heindselman's , Stitching Corner in West Jordon, for community education classes and one on one. It makes some of nicest doilies and bodices. I will post more photos of this type of lace tomorrow.
>bobbin lace "Princess lace machine"

>What is Bobbin lace? That is the question from Nancy Jo…
Well, below is a picture of a piece I just started a little while ago, so not much is done on it. It will show you what a princess lace machine pillow from November 24, 1903, looks like. This photo was taken on my kids' drawing table. To protect the table from glue and ink stains and the like, the table has a covering of a plastic tablecloth. Not pretty, but functional. Please click on the photos to see the pictures better. If after you click on the photo the new picture has a + on the pointer then if you click again it will get even bigger. This doesn't happen (the second enlargement) with all photos, but some it does, so try. Thank you.
There is a photo of the patent date on it. Also, I reupholstered the pillow and bobbin board because it was so tattered it was unusable when I got it (it is covered in a dark green velvet). I wanted to use it, not collect it and stare at it.
The last picture is a close up of the original pricking (aka pattern) that came with the pillow, and the lace I have started on it. The thread being used is a discontinued manuela tatting thread.
The bobbins in the photo are known as student bobbins. I have what is called midland bobbins, which are real nice, but they are not on this pillow. Midland bobbins are spangled (which means they have beads dangling from the bottom of the bobbin). The bobbins are the wood items you see dangling from the threads.
The pins that you see are for holding the thread in place until you have worked enough of the pattern to pull them out. Once pulled out the pattern will stay in place, and you can use the lace.
The basics of making the lace are a twist and a cross. Which is how the bobbins are manipulated to go left and right.
If you have more questions let me know, and I will try to answer them.

Our Values: Healthy Relationships
Well I'm glad that we're still having church today with you know so many ladies gone there I guess there's thirty six up there at the retreat and you know I have to admit the Sundays that I'm most curious about when they you know I don't know what I'm going to expect when I get to church in the morning our Memorial Day Labor Day And this Sunday when all those ladies are gone but I look around and I see that there's quite a few ladies retreat survivors So if you're one of them raise your hand and there's a couple of us are going to be a support group meeting afterwards and we'll talk about how difficult it was to raise our kids when our wives were gone.
Half half joking you know which was Christian being gone this week and she's one of the ladies that are up there I obviously get to appreciate all the things that she does around the house and especially on Saturdays Saturdays she does a lot of chores and so she said Now before I go I'm going to write down a list of everything that I would like you guys to do while I'm gone and it was it was a good list it was like doing dishes you know cleaning up rooms and stuff like that and also doing vacuuming this thing right here and she also had us to do laundry and that was the thing that kind of made me the most nervous it's like I remember every Saturday she spent like the whole day doing laundry and so I thought this is going to be tough and so I went over to our washing machine and it dawned on me it's been a long time since I've had to do laundry you know I did it all through college and I would survive and so I'm looking at the washing machine and we've got there's a new washing machine we got a couple years ago and I'm like oh great I don't know what the settings are should I just stay with the current settings What should I do and you know how much look detergent do I put into the load and I was a little bit nervous about this I knew I could figure it out but then my son Caleb came to the rescue he came in the laundry goes oh yeah mom taught me how to do this and so he put everything in there put it in there it was great so any of you guys need to rent out my son for laundry Zacky OK Talk Talk to me talk to me later well. Right now we're in a series talking about our mission as a church and hopefully you've heard me say this enough times that you almost have memorized by now but if you don't our mission here agrees about the Church of Phoenix is developing committed followers of Jesus Christ through the teaching in encouragement of God's word and so when we say that that's what we're trying to do develop committed followers you have to ask yourself the question what does a committed follower do if you're following Jesus what are the things that you're supposed to do and fortunately for us in the Bible tells us what we're supposed to do and the best way to describe what a committed follower does is that they will fulfill the greatest commands to love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and strength into love your neighbor as yourself and what that looks like is obviously very varied many different ways to do it and as a church what we've done is we've said there are four values that we say help us develop committed followers and we've listed them as a bible center teaching and preaching discipleship faithful service and healthy relationships and right now we're going to be talking about what it means to fulfill the greatest commandments in terms of having healthy relationships and so last week we looked at the greatest commandment how what it means to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul in your mind and today we're going to talk about loving your neighbor as yourself and we're going to break that down into two different groups the people that are inside the church church family and those that are outside and you think what wait a second are we supposed to split people up like that well the Bible actually does make that distinction of loving our neighbor in kind of makes a distinction between those that are inside the church family those that are outside all read this verse for you you don't have to turn there but English and six verses nine and ten the possible writes to us and he says and let us not grow weary of doing good for in due season we will reap if. Do not give up so then as as we have opportunity let us do good to everyone and especially to those who are of the household of faith and so here we have the Apostle Paul is basically saying do the second greatest commandment Love your neighbor as yourself and then he says but paste special close attention to going above and beyond with those that are of the household of faith and so as a church I'm going to be borrowing a phrase that I learned from another password a different church I think I told you this last week Pastor Eddie Stanley he's out in Atlanta is Father is Charles Stanley and at their church they say how they fulfill the two greatest commandments they have this phrase and I know I can so I'm borrowing from them they say that they want people to grow in their intimacy with God community with insiders and influence with outsiders so that's how we fulfill the greatest commandment last week we talked about our intimacy with God Next week we're going to talk about our influence with those outside of the faith but today we're going to focus on each other how can we love each other and more specifically how can we build community as believers here and I'll admit you know last week I told you that the sermon that we did last week on loving the Lord your God with all your heart soul and strength that's a difficult one it's a difficult sermon to preach and some sometimes a difficult commandment to fulfill because we can't see God we can't put our arms around God we can't do specific things for him but this one weekend. When he says The love your neighbor as yourself I'm looking directly at my neighbor's you are the ones that I'm supposed to love and when you look around the room you say OK these are the people that I'm supposed to fulfill this and so. It's kind of frustrating in maybe this is just me being a guy but if you have no control over something it can be very frustrating and there's a lot of things about. Earch that can be very frustrating in other words we can't I can't make anyone.
I can't make anyone follow God's word I can't make anyone stop sinning I can't make anyone understand the truth I can't make anyone agreed to get along with other people but there's one thing that we can do is we can all decide to treat each other in such a way that our church will be a warm loving and empowering church that will build each other up and that's what this passage in the sermon is about this morning so what does it look like to love your neighbor as it relates to building community with insiders Well let's start off by reading from the book of turning the Bible so the Book of you fusions chapter four.
If you chapter four and we will begin reading in verse eleven
and the thing I appreciate about this chapter especially is if you ever want to know what the purpose of the local church is this is the passage you should go to you know why do we need how do we know we're doing what we're called to do if Chapter four really gives us the marching orders for the church really shows us what the purposes so if he's in chapter four beginning in verse eleven this is the purpose of the church.
It says and he gave meaning Jesus he gave the apostles the prophets the Evangelists the shepherds in the teachers for this reason. To equip the saints for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ until we all attain to the unity of the face and of the knowledge of the Son of God to mature manhood to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ so that we may no longer be children tossed to and fro by the waves and carried or about by every wind of doctrine by human cunning by craftiness and deceitful schemes and so here is specially in verses twelve and thirteen it says The point is that we all contribute here in a local church setting so that we are all built up and that we become mature and a mature person is going to be able to distinguish truth from all the lies you're going to see out of there in the world well to keep reading in verse fifteen. Says rather speaking the truth in love we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head into Christ from whom the whole body joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped when each part is working properly makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love so I like that last phrase especially when each part is working properly it makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love so that's why we do this so that we become mature so that we get built up well how do we build community and how do we help each other become mature well for this morning what I'm going to do is I want to give you three things that we can use to build each other up and create community with each other all right in the first thing first thing that we can use is our words. The Bible says that our words are very powerful and our words can either be you. Soused to build someone up or to tear someone down now can you think of someone in your life that you really like being around because soon as you're in their presence they usually kind of give you a compliment or say something nice to you and and you knew you go away and you're kind of a motivated little inspired and we like to be around those kinds of people right and how many of you can think of a person that you know when you're in their presence you have to say you're walking on eggshells you have to be careful what you say and what you do because if you step out of line they're going to come down on you right we probably all know at least one or two people like that well the power of our words is something that God is telling us about and we can use them to really build each other up let's keep reading and.
Go to fusions for verse twenty five.
If you choose for verse twenty five and Paul is telling us that we really need to watch the words that come out of our mouth and how we can build each other up with them so if he says for beginning in verse twenty five it says.
Therefore having put away falso to let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor for we are all members one of another so obviously this is speaking about us here in the church verse twenty six. Be angry and do not sin do not let the sun go down on your anger and give no opportunity to the devil let the thief no longer steal but rather let him labor doing honest work with his own hand so that he may have something to share with anyone in need of verse twenty nine is a key verse here let no corrupting top come out of your mouse but only such as is good for building up as fits the occasion that it may give grace to those who hear and do not grieve the Holy Spirit by whom you were sealed for the day every… ssion let all bitterness and rason anger and clamor and slander be put away from you along with all malice be kind to one another tenderhearted forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you you know this is the kind of passage that we should probably all read every single day right just kind of get it into our hearts and our my. But verse twenty nine is kind of the key verse here and I read from the E.S.B. but I like how it says it in the end i the a little bit better so I going to read this again from the N.I.V. it says the interview for verse twenty nine says Do not let any and the wholesome talk come out of your mouse Wow That's that's a hard one isn't it but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen you know that word for and wholesome or in the E.S.B. it says corrupting the the Greek word actually means something that is rotten in putrefied.
So don't let any rotten words or putrified words come out of your mouth and when it's dealing with relationships it means something that is unfit for use it is it is worthless there are words that can come out of our mouths that are absolutely worthless and they do not benefit another person instead the words that come out of our mouths should be used to build people up and the Greek word for that is a quite a May and it means the act of one who promotes another person's growth in Christian wisdom piety happiness and holiness and the thing that I like about this verse so much it when there are so many things in our face that we cannot control this is one that we can we get to choose the words that come out of our mouth and we can choose to intentionally build other people up.
A good example of this I'm going to talk about Cross Fit totals that can actually be frozen in time across and they go to my of my same cross with Jim and so I think you'll appreciate this as well but the biggest difference between cross fit in a regular gym is well there's a few differences but the main one is when you go to Cross Fit everybody does the workout at the exact same time you see if you go to a gym then everyone kind of does their own thing but it cross fit you've got about like an hour long class and everybody does the same thing and so a couple things that that will do. Is it creates a lot of competition in a mean that in a good way because you'll see somebody else and say well they're about my size OK I have to really work hard so that I can beat them every now and then I'll be working I was back in just this last week Zak's like I'm going to beach in today's workout I'm like no you're not you say yes I so kind of like that kind of competition Another thing is it really builds camaraderie because you're suffering with other people and suffering produces that compassion and so you really start cheering each other on and say OK you can do this you finish make sure you get this done.
There's something that at our gym at our crossroad box that is really neat and I want to share that with you where we work out there was a room at the back of the area where parents can bring their kids and they can have the little kids in there so they're working out and there's this big window in the coach of our cross a box he puts every month if you if you set up P.R. which is a personal record you write up on that window what your records or it means like if you lifted a certain amount of weight that's the most weight you've ever done you put that out there or if you did a certain skill you put that out there and it's really encouraging because the beginning of the month it's completely clean there's nothing up there but at the end of the month it's filled with everybody who made improvements and so this last month month of September I had three P.R. is up there and that's not saying much because it's usually the first time I'm doing anything so the first time you do a left you just had a P.R. So you know it's not a big deal but I had three P.R.'s up there in a labor day I set a P.R. for a power cleaning power cleaners where you pick the weight up off the ground you bring it to your chest and then I said another P.R. for a squat and something else maybe I'm saying you had three three hours and this last Friday we had the work out of the day was to set basically do your best P.R. for powerfully and so I set my P.R. in Labor Day and then I beat it by ten pounds this last Friday and after. As I was really excited I mean it's motivating when you set up P.R. and so I went over to the board and I crossed out the old weight and I put the new way and I was kind of feeling good about that and then one of the guys that I was working out with he said and he was embellish ing but he said man Josh you're going to need a window for all of your own window for all your pee Harz And of course he was just teasing me and I only had three up there but it was at that moment when he said that it's like all of this adrenaline shot through my body it's like that's it I'm going to go do something else I'm going to listen or ways I want to set a new P.R. but look at this first again says Do not let any on wholesome talk come out of your mouth but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen you know in that moment those words even though he was just kind of joking around it built me up and it was perfect for that occasion he could have said a lot of other things he could have said all those great as you said a P.R. But you're not nearly as strong as these five other people I mean now is that those kind of going to your statement he could have said that or he also could have said that's fine if you set a P.R. for your power clean but you're really horrible at this event this event and this event he could have said that and that could have been very true but in that moment he chose the words that came out of his mouth were going to build me up and that's it was very motivating.
I was thinking to myself you know we should have something like that here church I don't know how what that would look like I don't think that we should write on the windows and and how do you how do you do P.R. is for a church you know the most Bible verses read or the most prayers in a day and I don't know what your the most the most amount of time that you went without getting angry or how beginning your thoughts I don't know what a P.R. will look like in a church we're not going to do that however I think one thing that we can do what our church that's something similar is.
You look at your bulletin and our Bolton is full of people who are here Vala. During their time and working to build this church.
And so every Sunday that we come here you see someone doing something whether it's being a praise prompt or appear leaning in a van someone out there working in the kitchen someone working in the nursery thank them for what they do that's something that we can do we can build each other up you know speaking of. Of cross with this kind of goes along with what I was just talking about one of the coaches there his name is Chris and he took an opportunity to remind everyone at Cross Fit that there one of the things that they're supposed to do is to really encourage each other and so on on the toss Cross Fit Facebook group he wrote this kind of as a reminder to encourage people to be encouraging and so he wrote these words to everybody he said and not as a kind of a critique but just kind of as a reminder he says today is a great opportunity to improve on something I've noticed we are somewhat slacking in a lot of times when we will have a work out there designed when everyone finishes at the same time but today is a rounds for time where many people will finish at different times we need to be sure that we are supporting every member until the final person finishes the work out this doesn't mean that you have to be some sort of exhausted cheerleader but rather to simply wait until everyone is done to put away your gear wait to go pack up your things and leave wait until everyone has done to start to cash out together it's very distracting in discouraging when these things are happening and you're among the last trying to complete the work out we've all been there we can do better and so he wrote that to a bunch of athletes across it saying let's stay around and let's encourage each other and all the people their comments afterwards are like all thanks for the reminder all do a better job next time and I was just thinking a gym or across a box or whatever you go to if we can recognize they are the power of encouragement in being supportive when the results are mainly physical and temporary how much more important is it for us to encourage each other here where the results are spiritual and eternal.
And the greatest thing is it's our choice we get to choose to do this and I think all of us would agree that this is the kind of church that we want to be a part of right and honest and I'm not preaching a sermon because I don't think we're doing a good job with this in fact I think we're doing a good job but it needs to be intentional because the opposite of this is a very obvious and very discouraging backing glaciations all read this this passage from five fourteen and fifteen it says but the whole law is fulfilled in one word you shall love your neighbor as yourself but if you buy in devour one another watch out that you are not consumed by one another and not so easy for us to be nit picking and complaining criticizing and again it's our choice we get to choose this can any of you think of a time when you left church or inspired and motivated and kind of excited about your face if so there were probably some encouraging words directed at you that Sunday and that's something all of us get to choose to do now before we all run out and say OK I'm going to give five compliments every Sunday at church which is a great great idea we have to realize loving your neighbor that it's more than just words sometimes more than words are needed and so the second thing that the Bible tells us that we can do to help love each other is this not only should we use our words but we also need to use actions we need to use our actions and there are several passages in the Bible there really teach us how to treat each other one of my favorites is in Romans Chapter twelve so let's go through Romans Chapter twelve. And there's a string of verses here there really tell us how we should be treating each other within the Body of Christ aromas Chapter twelve beginning in verse nine.
Romans Chapter twelve beginning in verse nine.
It says Let love be genuine a… what is evil hold fast to what is good love one another with brotherly affection outdo one another and showing honor Do not be slothful in zeal be fervent in spirit serve the Lord rejoice in hope be patient in tribulation be constant in prayer contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality bless those who persecute you bless and do not curse them rejoice with those who rejoice weep with those who weep live in harmony with one another do not be haughty but associate with the lowly never be wise in your own site you know there's a lot in there but what I want to do is I want to highlight just five of these phrases because they directly deal with us and how we treat each other so the first phrase is in verse ten or it says that we are to love one another with brotherly affection why are we supposed to do that from a practical standpoint I think the best way to realize why we're supposed to love each other with brotherly affection is the same blood that Christ shed on the cross to cover my sins and wash me from my sins is the exact same blood that Christ gave to you to wash you of your sins so the Bible says that we are brothers and sisters in Christ and we are of the same blood and we are forever members one with another and so that's why we can do this because we are all children of God The second phrase verse ten says that we are to outdo one another in showing honor and I like this this is good this is great we are to outdo each other we usually want credit for ourselves we want people to recognize us right well what happens if if all we're doing is trying to get everyone to recognize our accomplishments then no one's going to be recognizing anyone else's so could you imagine a church where everyone is trying to outdo each other in showing honor everyone giving genuine heartfelt compliments to each other you know the Greek word. For outdo it means to go before and shoulder way or to lead in doing this and when it says on our honor as if there is just some kind of a value in the thing and so this is telling us to go out of our way to lead in showing others how valuable they are this means that we all need to be ready and waiting to show someone how valuable they are that we are ready for this that we're anticipating these moments listen if you are looking to get on or to another person you're going to be too busy to buy in devour them just like that passage English and says Right next phrase in verse thirteen. It says contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality so when we are contributing to people it really makes us think think less of ourselves and and if we're thinking less about how to help other people than we're usually thinking about ourselves and sometimes we need a break from being consumed with our own problems and so contributing to the needs of the saints is a very healthy and mature thing to do for a phrase here in verse fifteen says Rejoice with those who read Joyce and weep with those who weep and I think that this is a true sign of maturity and immaturity person sees how everything in the world impacts them and them alone it's all about themselves but a mature person gives themselves permission to feel what another person is feeling like how many of you here enjoy it when you have good news and you share it with another person and they they turn it around to talk about themselves like for instance if you if they got a promotion or a raise at work you know you're excited about that right hey hey I got a raise at work how would you like it of the person you said that to said you got a raise I you know ever get a raise and I have more deserving of a raise in a promotion than you are you know you were not going to be very excited to share that information with someone or you want someone to say it's oh that's great. School celebrate let's go get lunch and you're buying because you got the reins.
That's how we should be responding rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who we furthest fifth phrase here we're sixteen live in harmony with one another it means that we all have a responsibility to do those things in our relationship that allows us to live in harmony and you look at all of these commands these five commands in this this batch here in Romans Chapter twelve and all of them are our choice we get to choose to do this and when we do these things we build each other up you know if there's a lot of other things in the bible let's say that we're supposed to do for one another in fact if you're bored one day you can go on Bible Gateway dot com and then type in the search field one another and you can come up with a great big list of things that we're supposed to do for one another all kind of highlight some of those we've looked at some of them say they are ready but we are also to welcome each other instruct one another greet each other care for one another comforting each other agree with each other serve one another bury chuggers burden speak the truth and love encouraging each other we've looked at that and the last thing that the Bible tells us to do to one another is was to kiss each other greet each other with a kiss we're going to let that be cultural OK we're not going to do that all right we don't have to do that airing handshakes or No No kissing here one last thing that we need to do we can do to build community is this First we can use our words we can use our actions but we also use our presence meaning we show up that's how we build each other up we can't have community with each other if we don't make being together a priority last verse I want you to look at isn't hubris ten years ago in your bible say hubris Chapter ten verse twenty four.
Years ten twenty four and actually verses twenty five as well.
He was ten twenty four and twenty five.
This passage says. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing near the word for stir up some of your translations I might say provoke the Greek word is Parekh some US and it means to incite or to irritate. So we're actually told to irritate each other all right considering how to irritate each other towards for the good for love and good works you know you know who is really good at irritating each other siblings siblings know how to irritate each other and you know why they know how to irritate each other because they're around each other all the time. You and I won't know how to provoke each other and thus we spend time with each other and it kind of goes like this do you know the spiritual gifts and passions of your closest friends within the family of God. If you do then when you see an opportunity and you know that matches their spiritual gifts that's when we provoke them hey that's something you should do that's an opportunity for you to do because I know that you would be really good at it and so irritating each other you have permission if you irritating someone say Hey Pastor said I'm supposed to irritate you about this but you know what we can use our words to build each other up we can't use them if we're not around each other and we can't use our actions if we're not around each other and so we need to use our presence as well well you know I get excited about this topic because it's finally something that we can control again there are so many things in church that we can't control we cannot make people come to church we can't make people become say there are so many things that we can't do but we can all choose to value making. Church a place that we will all be built up and no matter what our budget looks like no matter what our attendance is like what our programs are like or no matter where our location is we get to choose to make this the most positive uplifting encouraging family of believers that we possibly can this is the second greatest commandment to love your neighbor as yourself what I want to do as we close is I want to simply read the definition of love from the Bible first Corinthians chapter thirteen and as I read this definition I want you just spend time thinking how this relates to you and your relationships with other people and really commit yourself to exhibiting true love to your neighbor so let me close by reading from first printings thirteen.
It says Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy your boast it is not arrogant or rude it does not insist on its own way it is not irritable or resentful it does not rejoice at wrong doings but rejoices with the truth love there's all things believes all things hopes all things endures all things love never.
Disclose and prayer
journal I thank you so much for this passage and I thank you for the local church you created the local church as a place for us to be built up and to become mature and you've given us the responsibility this blasted responsibility of building each other up and so Lord my prayer for this morning is for Grace Bible Church of Phoenix those who call this their church home that we will all accept this responsibility this great on privilege to build each other up to outdo each other in showing honor to look for ways that we can provoke each other towards loving good deeds the Lord you want us to become mature and you give us what a wonderful way to to to be a part of that in our brothers and sisters in Christ in their lives so Lord help us to be this kind of church that will love our neighbors as ourselves and be a exam shining example to the world around us oh lord next week as we talk about how we can be. Showing our influence among those that are outside the church I pray that even now you'll certain length upon our hearts in our minds people who might not have a relationship with you but they do and and that we will consider how we can build our influence around them so that you might use it for your honor and glory but until then I pray that you're just dumb people safe and always have a wonderful productive we can bring us back safely next week so we can worship you then in Jesus' name we pray.

How I accidentally built a dev environment that moves with you
24 May 2017 • By Jim Moores
I don't know about you, but I've always been intrigued at how difficult it is to maintain a stream of development, or anything else for that matter, across devices and locations. You work in an office somewhere, go home, or go on-site at a customer's and you find yourself having to manually synchronise everything. Maybe you weren't the world's most diligent dev, and didn't check in after every single edit. Perhaps you've never gotten around to configuring check-style on every single copy of Eclipse you have. Maybe there's a bunch of hard-coded machine-specific settings in your copy of Visual Studio (bad dev!). Maybe you just want to be able to pick up from where you left off! I don't think it's that much to ask. Over the years I've tried many routes to achieving this Nirvana. I think I've finally found one that works. This is the story of my journey to a solution.
For the last year or so, I've been working on a new product, XL4J, which is a library that allows you to write Excel Add-ins in Java. Because it's reliant on Windows technologies, I moved back to Windows as my main development environment after many years on macOS. This was important because I realised that after many years of Apple neglecting developers and making their platform less developer friendly, now macOS really doesn't have anything that Windows doesn't.
- Windows has a bash shell and all the Unix utilities: grep, vim, less, etc.
- You can run proper server software on it (nginx, apache, docker, etc).
- It actually looks quite pretty.
- It has real, full-fat versions of the MS Office suite.
But most importantly, you can cloud-host it. Eh? Surely you must be thinking of the always-almost-but-never-quite-here Microsoft Desktop-as-a-service service? Or maybe you mean some really expensive Citrix set-up involving a minimum hundred grand spend? Or maybe you mean Amazon Workspaces? Hey, that looked interesting. But it was some weird bastardised version of Windows server with some weird PCoIP protocol running over the top (which may be good, I don't know). Apparently, Bezos runs it and it's amazing. I rolled my eyes - one would hope Bezos was able to get a decent virtualized desktop in his own company. When I looked more closely it didn't really fit the developer desktop model.
But it turns out that Microsoft DO have a virtualized desktop service. It's just that it's hidden away in their Azure developer offering and I only found it by mistake.
As part of my development work, I was using Visual Studio and Office so needed an MSDN subscription. For those not in the know, it's how you get useful amounts of MS software for development work - you get developer licenses to all the versions of all the products for a rolling fee. In our case, we applied for, and got, Microsoft's generous BizSpark programme, which gets you a free MSDN license plus some free credits (around $100/month) on Azure for anything up to a few years while you get yourself established.
I had the need to put a couple of servers up, in particular, a Maven repository and thought I might as well use the free credits I had. The first thing that surprised me was that Azure was definitely not Windows only. In fact, it had pre-built VM images for most major distributions and lots of pre-packaged appliance VMs. At first, it seemed pretty complicated and clunky given I just wanted to put up a VM instance but I persevered and got my server up running in a docker container. I didn't really consider using Azure for other VMs as it was more expensive that something like Linode.
One day I was poking around in the portal and I noticed a tab called 'DevTest Labs' had appeared. I started playing around with it and discovered I could create these 'labs' of virtual machines.
It's pretty easy to create one - they have them located wherever you need. I put mine in West Europe, which is actually Ireland. I then discovered how to add a virtual machines to a dev lab:
But the real revelation was the availability of desktop Windows versions to use a VM base image - and without requiring any license keys. This alone would have been really useful. There are also lots of variants in the images, including pre-configured images with Visual Studio, saving you the complexity of manually downloading, installing and licensing them after VM creation. Initially, all this was only for certain versions of Windows, but now they have Windows 7, 8 and 10 making it super-useful for testing.
So after choosing a base image, we need to choose a name for the VM and set up some credentials:
Interestingly, there's the concept of selecting a saved secret rather than putting a password in. Initially, this was command-line only, but it's now in the UI. Last time I tried it I couldn't get it to work correctly, so I used a locally generated password, but obviously, if you're managing a lot of machines it would make sense to look into this more closely.
Now we get to choosing what type of VM to configure:
Now if you're like me, you look at the prices for the VMs and think: wow, that's really expensive. The VM type I'm using most often, DS11_V2 (2 cores, 14GB RAM), is quoted at around £105/month. Don't be too scared by that, it won't cost anything like that if you set it up right. We'll cover that shortly. But first, we also get to choose to install other artifacts on the VM as its image is created. We're used to being able to do this on Linux, but it's much less easy on Windows, until now.
Here I'm adding:
- 7-Zip
- Chrome
- git
- IntelliJ IDEA (community edition)
- Remote Desktop Connection Manager
- Sysinternals tools
- Chocolatey (and installing filezilla)
Chocolatey is super-interesting here. It's a Windows package manager I'd not heard of allowing an apt-get style install for Windows programs. I get the impression that the package management side of things is a bit of a work in progress and that MS are planning their own package management system. Chocolatey works. Sort-of. Most of the time. I have found that sometimes installation of Chocolatey packages fails during image creation, which can leave a bit of a mess. They do have a paid-for version of the repos that is more reliable, but that seems a bit crap. On the other hand, it still mostly saves a ton of time.
Another great feature, that I won't cover in detail, is that you can create 'Formulas' which are base images + artifacts pre-built. This makes deployment much faster, as the first time you do this it can easily take 10-15 minutes to deploy a VM.
Here, I've sped the process up a fair bit. Just before the creation, note the Advanced settings, which contain some pretty cool details. Firstly, I've used a shared IP address configuration to expose the VM over the internet. If you want to use this seriously, I'd recommend using a proper VPN into Azure, but this lets you experiment freely.
A second interesting feature is an auto-delete option, which allows VMs to expire after a certain amount of time. The most interesting though is the claimable VMs concept. With this, you can put VMs into a pool, and other users on your dev team (or testers, or whatever), can claim and release VMs as necessary. I'm seriously thinking of using it as a nice way to give beta-testers pre-installed VMs to play with.
So once we've kicked off the VM creation, we can look at some of the options. The key things here are Auto-start and Auto-shutdown - these are what help you keep the cost down. Typically I set my VM to auto-start just before I start work and auto-shutdown mid-evening. So they run probably 10 hours a day. But additionally, they only auto-start on weekdays. This means my £100/month comes down to more like £35/month, which I think is reasonable for my main developer workstation. And remember, if I wasn't using it all the time, I could bring it up and down at will, and I often do - it takes 2-3 minutes to bring a machine up from cold. I can also trade up to more cores, more RAM for as long or short a time as I need.
Logging in
Now we've created a VM, we can connect to it by just downloading the 'Connect' link (which is a tiny .rdp file).
Here I've used the built-in Windows remote desktop client. But I often also use the official Microsoft RDP client for the Mac (called 'Microsoft Remote Desktop') and the iOS and Android equivalents. I will say, I have had trouble using some other RDP clients. Cord wouldn't work and I've had problems with rdesktop too. From what I can tell, this is due to the use of 'Network Acesss Protocol' or NAP, which is an extra layer of security protocol on top of RDP that many RDP clients don't support. It is possible to turn this off but I prefer to just use supporting clients. Oh, another weird thing is that it seems sometimes to prefer not to have 32-bit colour for some reason. Other times it's fine: just switch to 24-bit if you have an issue.
The performance is AMAZING. I mean, seriously, it's like it was local. With no hint of lag (OK, gaming would be a push). You can play video on it as if it was local (RemoteFX helps here), sound just works, you can do remote printing, it supports multiple monitors, full clipboard, desktop resizing. All the little things that make remote access usable in practice.
The closest thing I'd found to this before was LogMeIn, but that was too slow to actually use for development except in an emergency. I've tried VNC too, but it too, was very laggy, perhaps because it's often going via some kind of 'reflector' to avoid a firewall, but I think also because VNC doesn't have the low-level GDI bindings and is pretty much raster-based from what I understand.
But am I like Bezos, sitting in a gigabit paradise accessing a VM located just next door? Um, I wish I was, but I ain't. I'm using this over everything from home broadband to fixed LTE or mobile LTE, and the server is in Ireland (I'm in London). I think the fact it works this well for me means you might be in with a fighting chance of this setup changing how you work too.
To be honest, yes! I can pick up exactly where I left off with development at any time. If I'm working with a customer, I can log into my VM via remote desktop from a laptop. If I'm working at home in front of the TV, I can log in from my laptop there, if I'm working at home I can log in from my home office. And always get the desktop the way I left it (but resized, yay!).
It's even changed the type of laptop I need. I no longer need a quad-core 16/32GB heavyweight - I can just spin up something equivalent in Azure if I need it. All I need is a high-res screen and a keyboard and hopefully now that's all you might need too.

Macht Schnell TPMS/RDC Module by PSI
PSI Presents The Macht Schnell TPMS/RDC Emulator Module
Battery-powered radio frequency based TPMS have several disadvantages. Batteries eventually become exhausted and represent a maintenance cost to the consumer. Batteries are chemical systems with lifetimes that unfortunately perform very poorly in extreme temperature environments typical of North America and European climates and in aerospace applications. In order to conserve battery life and to conform to various countries communication authority standards for short range radio communications, the power levels of battery powered TPMS are kept very low. As a consequence of these very low power levels, the construction of certain steel belted radial replacement tires and vehicle metallic geometries can block the low power signal transmission paths.
The so-called total cost of ownership for direct systems is much higher than for indirect systems due to battery and wheel changes and broken/damaged parts. Replacement TPMS sensors from your local dealer can be in excess of $300USD/set with the lithium batteries mounted in the sensors with a 5-6 year shelf life. Aftermarket sensors are not generally reliable.
For those that have multiple tire sets for the track, this is simply not practical. Our TPMS/RDC Emulation Module installs in less than 15 minutes and will fully emulate a full-pressure TPMS signal when activated. Module can be activated/deactivated by lifting up on the drivers side window switch for +5 seconds with the key off.
The Macht Schnell OC3 Seat Occupancy Sensor Emulation Module is possible of the following features:
Note: The Macht Schnell TPMS/RDC Emulation Module will disable the TPMS/RDC monitoring system which complies with the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act. For this reason, this module is not intended for street vehicles and can result in possible injury or death if proper conditions are not followed. Not compatible with Euro models.
Models Supported:

When you work in a software development team, having to deal with loads of bug is indeed inevitable. Ensuring the smooth process of managing your bugs is a sine qua non. There are many bug tracking tools available in the market, yet for Small-Medium-Businesses, they can be too complex and sometimes expensive to afford. This Bug Tracker table from RowShare, ideal for small to medium sized companies, offers a simple solution to manage your bugs.
Due to increase in demands of software, assuring the quality of software is becoming a challenge. However, due to its complexity, no software can claim to be issue-free. That's why it is important to be quickly find, record, and track bugs.
How Will You Report Bugs Effectively?
If your team decides to make a bug report, it's important to define a comprehensive structure. There are many different elements that you can include.
To give you an idea of how to report a defect in a bug tracking tool, here are some important elements:
- Bug ID: A unique identifier that lets you know which one is the bug. In the "Bug ID" column, the Bug ID will be automatically created.
- Bug Name: A bug name consists of the name of the feature where an issue was found. For example, when you are unable to save your profile while creating your account, the ideal bug name would be "ACCOUNT CREATION – Unable to save my profile".
- Reporter Name: Whether its your team member or client who reports a bug, its important to keep track of reporter name. When it's a client who finds a bug, you would want to follow him/her up when the bug is fixed.
- Reporter Email: To follow up about a status of a bug to a client, especially when it is fixed, you therefore need his/her email address.
- Submit Date: Submit date is always necessary to know when the bug is found, and therefore to know how long it takes to fix that bug.
- Summary: The "Summary" column consist of a brief explanation of the bug.
- URL: URL of the page where the bug is found. That way, it is easier for developers to spot on the problem.
- Screenshot: Visual proof that will help developers to understand the problem better and faster.
- Environment: Knowing in what environment the bug is found is indeed essential for developers as websites may behave differently from one environment to another.
- Assignee: An assignee is a developer who is assigned to fix a bug. Each bug has a specific assignee.
- Bug Details: Bug details consist of repro steps which detail the steps taken before the bug is encountered.
- Priority: The "Priority" column indicates which bug is critical and needs immediate treatment.
- Status: The "Status" column allows to track the progress of each bug and to see how many items are done and how many of them are still requiring work.
- Comments: Managers can give their feedbacks in the "Comments" column. Other than that, it helps facilitate the communications between managers and developers.
Track Your Bug with An Online Collaboration Tool
Fixing bugs is already difficult and bug tracking software solutions can be too complex. RowShare, as an online collaboration tool, understands this need and therefore proposes a solution, which is also ideal for SMBs.
This Bug Tracker table is designed to help you and your team to quickly find, record, and track issues or defects in a simpler way than a bug management software. Moreover, it allows you and your team to see at glance all the bug status.
With its "Auto Number" column type, each bug automatically has an unique ID. Personalize it by adding or deleting columns. Share it with your clients, and if there is any column that doesn't concern them, you can make it hidden.

Ok just came across some seriously funny posts by fellow bloggers and simply HAVE to share. No, they are not related to travel nor are they related to Korea but I'm sure you will all still appreciate them.
First this poor girl HERE boldly confesses to her worst date ever where her whole body and face become covered in hives with her lips swelling to the size of "Kansas and Nebraska!". To make matters worse on the make up date she breaks the heel on her beautiful shoes and falls flat on her face in the middle of a restaurant. Morto.
Now this is simply hilarious. "The five least romantic animal mating rituals", explains the grossest ways in which animals "make love" and prove once and for all that the male species ris really very sick. Ranging from a male giraffe who tastes the females urine before mating to the male parrot who kisses the female then vomits in her mouth. Happy Valentines day baby, bleurgh.
Here is an excerpt from the sample conversation between Bonobo monkeys while mating…
Girl: Hello.
Guy: Hi.
Lovemaking ensues
Guy: Meet my brother
Lovemaking ensues
Girl: Meet my sister
Lovemaking ensues
Guy: I'm hungry
Girl: Look! A restaurant!
Lovemaking ensues
Girl: I'm angry with you for not paying for our meal!
Guy: Don't be angry!
Lovemaking ensues
Guy: I'm sorry we almost got in an argument!
Lovemaking is initiated. . .
Girl: Whoa, whoa whoa. Look, I've had about enough, okay? Five times in the last hour including an orgy with our siblings, and I'm exhausted, all right? This isn't fun anymore.
Guy: You're tired? We should probably have sex to wake you up!
Girl: Count me out.
Guy: Okay then, where's your sister?
Lastly, this guy may be old and cynical but by golly does he still have a cracking sense of humour. In this post in defense of "The youth of today", he talks about how confident we are and how our "inability to peel banana's" may well re open the debate on evolution!!
He writes about their resourcefulness, "They may not be able to find North America on a world map but lock a young person in a bathroom with some Tylenol, grape jelly, household cleaner and a ball-point pen and nine times out of ten they'll be able to fashion some sort of lethal narcotic and a workable pipe to smoke it in." CLASSIC!
…and about their knowledge of human rights, "Smack one damned young person over the head with your cane and you'll soon discover that while they're oblivious to notions of decency, civility, common sense and morality – they're fully aware of the laws that protect them and the civil litigation options available to them."

Women's History Month is the perfect time to learn about and celebrate some of the most colorful, inspirational, and remarkable women throughout time. Sometimes, however, truly incredible women are overlooked in favor of more famous icons, so here at Off the Shelf, we've collected some fabulous books—both fictional and non—starring these little-known heroines. From fiercely independent first daughters to pioneering pilots, these women will motivate you to live your best life.
Most of us are familiar with the story of Henry VIII and his tragic wives. But in this authoritative biography, discover more about the little-known Catherine Howard, Henry's teenaged fifth wife. A captivating look at the complicated politics of being a young woman in sixteenth-century court life, YOUNG AND DAMNED AND FAIR is a sympathetic and gripping work of research.
Though her name is mostly known from the famous painting of her, the true story of Adele Bloch-Bauer is incredibly fascinating. In this dazzling novel that whisks you to early-twentieth-century Vienna, a young socialite meets the painter Gustav Klimt, and her life changes forever. Forty years later, her niece must save her aunt's legacy in the rising face of Nazism.
The Wars of the Roses were a significant series of civil wars that changed British history and in this extraordinary work of nonfiction, New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory and two historians weave unforgettable essays on three largely overlooked royal women who were involved. Richly illustrated, this is the perfect companion to fans of Gregory's lyrical novels.
Though not as well known today as her more famous father and cousins, Alice Roosevelt Longworth was a beloved and often infamous celebrity in her time. In this enchanting and evocative novel, President Theodore Roosevelt's daughter charms and shocks Washington, DC, with her unconventional independence. From love affairs to engaging in politics, Alice is a remarkable figure that you won't soon forget.
This passionate and outstanding work of investigative journalism explores twentieth-century medicine, race, ethics, and justice. More than simply a biography of the woman who unknowingly helped change medical research forever, this modern classic is fascinating, moving, and eye-opening. No matter your background in science or medicine, THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS will grip you from the very first page.
A fast-paced adventure of medieval England during the Norman Conquest, THE HANDFASTED WIFE follows Edith Swanneck, an Anglo-Saxon queen, as she works to ensure her and her children's future in an uncertain world. Between bloody battles and complex politics, this is a riveting tale that will leave you breathless.
An insightful and lively biography on a complex and brilliant woman, THE CIVIL WARS OF JULIA WARD HOWE follows the life and times of the pioneering activist and writer of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." With the pacing of a novel, this masterful work sheds light on sex, race, politics, and power in the nineteenth century.
We've all heard of America Earhart, but in Laurie Notaro's page-turning novel, learn all about three little-known female aviators and their intense desire to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic. Featuring photographs of these remarkable women and authentic prose, CROSSING THE HORIZON will have you soaring.
A timely and authoritative celebration of Alice Paul, the suffragist and writer of the Equal Rights Amendment, this nonfiction book explores one of the most crucial moments in American women's history: the fight for women's suffrage. A compelling read as inspiring as the heroine it depicts.

The United States of America-based actress who is also the producer of the porn movies like Destructive Instinct and Queen of Zamonda, also runs a porn site, AfroCannetwork, and has been harangued for her penchant for posting her nude photos but she says she does not care what anyone says about her lifestyle as she has her life to live.
The divorced mother of two teenage daughters was recently asked why she is in love with controversies but she responded that she does not bother what people think of her as long as she has not committed any crime.
"It is my job and that is what I do for a living. I love acting such movies because that's what I'm talented in and my fans appreciate it.
I don't care what anybody says because many of them would still come back to watch the movies and enjoy themselves.
I act well and many people love acting with me. I know how to give men a good time and they always come back for more."
Reacting to what her children will say about her acting porn movies, AfroCandy said:
"We live in the US where you can do whatever you like, so long as you don't break any law and it makes you happy.
I don't watch my movies with my children but I wouldn't feel bad if they get to watch them. In fact, I'll love to see their reactions.
I have taken care of them to a point that they can now stand for themselves. I hear some people saying that I went haywire and decided to do this to go against my ex-husband.
Believe me, that's not true. I do it simply because I love it. There's more to come from me and I can assure you, you'll be blown away. Afrocandy is here to stay."
