"It's seven days 'til November when I'll be gone for ever so as I unearth and shine a light on September the time of my birth, I give credence to my resting place, samaki. Walking on wine has me pressing for a change of minds that seem to be full of curiosity yet ignorant in learning what they themselves want to teach, society. What of I walking into your home uninvited and faking a desire to want to learn your life only to back stab you with forceful mental games that leave you disassociated with your present self, I'm scrapping. Scratching the glass wall that houses a woman that will visit a homestead with a mind as empty as what its father's sandy walk is, yet its evil steps lead unwanted schemes into what's already known, what a child is. If what you birth into this world faces your emptiness, then the idea that another's lifestyle that your kind openly belittles is also virtuous enough to warrant your safari to see then maybe you need to turn your womb into a frozen place since that's what you claim as science. My mother's golden and scions, filled with sages and scribes of mellow moods some talk of Zion but yours are of empty fools that lack an immediate look of what is love, so hate forms your sires. I have seen clearly what you use to communicate with your kind as I know the latest being True Blood as your only present tower that Mitishamba has downed with all my ciphers and this scribe is that fourth stake into your attempts to preach pious. The first three went to the hands feet and blunting fangs of vampires that hide in walking screens and since daylight isn't your friend, I've rung bells to your bat caves so you can stop hiding in broad nightlight like you brought me Kaya. My resting place doesn't have to be displaced so everything that I've said is for you to find the peace you've given me once in a grave so that you can awake to my warriors who once again, won't buy ya?! Worthless souls without tires stamped with yellow clothes whenever in the presence of my fire and as heat nears my green, I'm pulling a Simon and he says he wants all the art you've stolen as your timers. And because your dead are unworthy of locks, my Bonfires them at the exact Temps and scold any of what you present as living until you leave my sight dead ever after since the seventh midget knows all the secrets to your hair as its my dopey conquerors that bests all your hunters without having to read what you want him buying thus your evil seeds will never be Mayan."

Video: Trooper suspended after speeding ticket arrest of NFL player
Officer stopped NFL player Sam Montgomery for going 89 mph in a 55 mph zone June 25
By PoliceOne Staff
LAURENS COUNTY, S.C. — A trooper has been suspended without pay following the June 25 arrest of an NFL player for speeding, an incident which was caught on dash cam footage and has been released.
According to WJBF, South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. R.S. Salter stopped NFL player Sam Montgomery for going 89 mph in a 55 mph zone June 25.
Police are allowed to arrest individuals going faster than 25 mph over the speed limit in South Carolina.
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety released a statement Monday regarding the incident and subsequent investigation, stating that while Trooper Salter was within the law to arrest Montgomery, "Salter's behavior during the traffic stop of Mr. Montgomery was not representative of the professionalism displayed by our troopers and officers every day around the state."
Montgomery was released from jail on bond Wednesday.

Stormy Weather
(Phone Message Transcribed by Bethany)
Today is Thursday August 30, 2007.
I am calling from above 5,000 feet on the flanks of Mount Washington in the presidential range of the White Mountains. Today was an extremely exciting day for us! We got off to a great start and we saw our first moose of the trip near Ethan Pond. After that we hiked several miles and met up with our friends Josh and Sarah (aka He-man and She-ra). That was completely unplanned. We knew they were ahead of us, but it was great to see them again!
Together we climbed up the steep climb into the Presidentials and made it Mitzpah Hut. We made it there by lunch time and we knew that there were afternoon storms approaching but we decided to push on to Lakes of the Clouds Hut so that we could have an early start over Mount Washington tomorrow morning.
We made it most of the way to the hut before we were pelted by the brunt of the storm… including hail. We were pinned down for several minutes with no shelter in site, while we were being beaten by hail probably ½ inch to ¾ inch in diameter. We did make it to the lake of the clouds hut about 20 minutes later where we are staying now. We're cozy warm, drinking coffee and out of the stormy weather now.
We are going to be doing a work for stay this evening and in the morning we will summit Mount Washington, which is well above tree line. It should be a gorgeous day tomorrow and we hope to be through the rest of the Whites in the next couple of days. Anyway it's been a fantastic day and we're having a great time out here.
That's it for now. Over and out.

Comments for The Conjure Wife
The Conjure Wife: 01/17/07
Ian enjoys Fritz Leiber's fantasy novels so we own a good number of them. I think he started buying them back in 2003 or 2004 but so far I haven't read an of Leiber's work. I've been swamped under my own "to be read" pile and BookCrossing commitments to spend time on one of my least favorite genres. However, when I saw a copy of Dark Ladies, a two book volume of what now-a-days would be classified as "paranormal fiction" by Fritz Leiber, I had to grab the book and give it a read.
So far I've flown through the first of the two stories, The Conjure Wife, a novel originally published in 1937. This story of a young and up and coming professor and his liberal minded wife reminded me of what would happen if Christopher Moore decided to rewrite The Witches of Eastwick (John Updike) and The Stepford Wives (Ira Levin) as one novel. Save for the mention of some outdated technology (like phonograph needles) the novel reads like a modern paranormal fiction.
I absolutely loved this story and managed to tear through it in a couple of hours. It is part romance, part satire, part mystery and part horror. All these pieces work together beautifully to tell the story of a skeptical husband learning that magic is real and his wife suffering the recoil of magic for personal gain.
More School News:
Yesterday Sean got a 100% on a math assignment. His teacher asked me if we had been spending a lot of time studying addition. I replied that we've done some but mostly we were just playing with addition. We weren't treating it as home work. She replied that she only had to show Sean once and that he remembered over the long the weekend all the addition she had taught the class last week. He has trouble writing his answers but not in knowing what the answers were. We're so proud of him!
Tomorrow is Sean's first Mandarin class. It will be a full class of six students from the preschool. Sean sounds a little reluctant but I think once he gets started he'll enjoy the class. He's always a little shy about trying new things for about the first five or ten minutes. I hope he learns enough to teach us a thing or two.
He's also still doing "nastics" (gymnastics) at school. The new session starts next week. He's learning how to walk on the balance beam, do summersaults and do cartwheels along with some "cooperative play." He really enjoys these classes offered through the school.

Critics of G. Steven Pigeon have claimed for more than a decade that the former Erie County Democratic chairman has funneled tens of thousands of dollars to favored candidates through independent committees, circumventing state laws that prohibit coordination with candidates' campaigns.
But over the years, Pigeon and his tactics have emerged unscathed and even empowered as state courts, boards of elections and law enforcement either approved, complained without result, or never said a word.
Now, another independent political committee financed mostly by Pigeon is roiling Democratic circles after two candidates it backed defeated in the Sept. 10 primaries candidates endorsed by the local Democratic Party. The allegation is that the Pigeon committee was spending money to promote candidates for sheriff and County Legislature and coordinating that spending with the candidates, which would violate state law.
The former party chairman insists he has always operated within election law. "It's what I've been doing for years, it's been looked at time and time again, and it's never gone anywhere," Pigeon said. "It's not because some prosecutor is afraid of me, but because I follow the rules."
But two Erie County legislators seek a new avenue of investigation, filing a complaint with the Moreland Commission, a state investigative panel that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo created this year to root out public corruption.
If the state panel were to launch an investigation, it would set up an interesting scenario.
That's because the Cuomo-created Moreland Commission would be probing a political committee trying to defeat candidates endorsed by Erie County Democratic Chairman Jeremy J. Zellner, who is no friend of Cuomo's political operation.
And if Pigeon did come under scrutiny, it would mean the Cuomo-appointed members would be investigating someone who has contributed $50,000 to the governor's own campaign treasury.
Legislature Chairwoman Betty Jean Grant and Legislator Timothy R. Hogues, both Buffalo Democrats, are asking the commission to probe the WNY Progressive Caucus, an independent committee run by Pigeon associate Kristy Mazurek. It has collected almost $270,000 since its inception last month.
"Given the history of the individuals involved, this entity is a 'poster child' for the need to drastically improve the enforcement of existing laws," Grant and Hogues wrote to commission officials. "Without such enforcement, violators are encouraged to repeat their conduct with impunity."
Zellner echoes their complaint. "I would hope they look into coordination on this campaign, any overspending for the candidates, and whether these really were independent expenditures," he said.
A spokeswoman said the Moreland Commission received the Grant-Hogues complaint but would not comment further.
The law
State election laws try to create an even playing field, placing limitations on contributions to candidates. But independent committees can spend unlimited amounts of money.
So if there was coordination between a candidate and an independent committee that spent money promoting that candidate, that would violate election law.
Over the years, several candidates and politicians have criticized Pigeon's independent committees, suggesting his committees had crossed that line.
Erie County's Democratic and Republican elections commissioners jointly complained in 2010 that a Pigeon committee was violating election law through Thomas Golisano's Responsible New York committee that spent on behalf of candidates.
The complaint was eventually referred to Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares and went nowhere.
And in 2009, former Assistant District Attorney Mark A. Sacha charged that two successive district attorneys provided Pigeon an election law pass because of his political power. Sacha asked then-Gov. David A. Paterson to appoint a special prosecutor. Paterson declined, but his counsel – Peter J. Kiernan – referred the case to the U.S. attorney in Manhattan after declaring "a pattern of violations of election law, some of which may involve money laundering or deliberate evasion of requirements of the election law" in Erie County.
Federal prosecutors also never took action.
Now, however, the Moreland Commission is empowered to investigate, subpoena and prosecute because its members are deputized as assistant attorneys general.
Dobson campaign
The recent complaint stems from the 2013 primary campaigns, when the WNY Progressive Caucus spent tens of thousands of dollars in support of candidates running against individuals backed by Zellner and the local party leaders.
The beneficiaries of Pigeon's caucus included Richard E. Dobson, who defeated Bert E. Dunn, the party-backed candidate for sheriff.
In fact, Pigeon's committee spent more than 10 times campaigning for Dobson than what Dobson's campaign spent during the last reporting period.
Campaign finance records show Dobson's campaign committee spent about $6,000 in the reporting period ending Aug. 30, and raised about $50,000 for the entire campaign – far below the six-figure amounts most candidates budget for a countywide effort. Dobson purchased no television advertising, also deemed essential by most political veterans for a post like sheriff.
Meanwhile, local television station records indicate that Pigeon's WNY Progressive Caucus bought more than $77,000 in advertising in support of Dobson's candidacy.
Dobson campaign manager, James J. Eagan, who is also secretary of the Democratic State Committee controlled by Cuomo, said the campaign had nothing to do with the Pigeon group and never planned on buying television time.
Now Zellner and the county legislators want the commission to determine if the candidates and the Pigeon committee illegally coordinated their activities – which Pigeon vehemently denies.
Zellner said Dobson launched his campaign without enough money for television. In fact, Zellner said his forces working with the party leaders candidate, Bert D. Dunn, thought Dobson's lack of funds indicated he had "thrown in the towel."
"He was relying on something," Zellner said. "You can't have a race where you don't even have $10,000 on hand until the week before. It really makes you wonder."
Zellner said other candidates who benefited from the Pigeon's caucus committee – like Barbara Miller-Williams who defeated Hogues in the primary and Joyce Nixon who lost to Grant – also raised little of their own funds.
"I don't think she raised a dime," Zellner said of Miller-Williams. "But her signs went up all over the place."
State records indicate Miller-Williams raised about $3,375.
Pigeon caucus donors
Much of the money that WNY Progressive Caucus raised came from Pigeon and others who are on the outs with the Democratic Party leaders.
Campaign finance records show Pigeon contributed or loaned almost $96,000 of his own money to the committee.
In addition, State Sen. Timothy M. Kennedy, who eked out a victory against Grant in 2012 and could face her again in 2014, gave $85,000 from his campaign account to Pigeon's caucus.
"Everything was done not only to the letter but the spirit of the law," Kennedy said.
Other contributors to Pigeon's caucus include AJ Wholesale, a Seneca tobacco dealer on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation, which gave $30,000.
And an organization controlled by Cheektowaga Democratic Chairman Frank C. Max Jr., who unsuccessfully challenged Zellner for the county chairmanship last year and says he will run again next year, gave $1,500.
In addition, two donations totaling $9,000 were made directly to Dobson's campaign fund from a committee called Democratic Action, which has ties to Pigeon. He gave $1,800 to that committee in 2011, and Kennedy gave $1,500.
Records also show a $2,000 donation in 2010 to Democratic Action by Joseph W. Carosella, a Niagara Falls attorney who also gave $3,000 to the caucus this year.
State campaign finance records also indicate that $1,350 from Pigeon's political consulting firm – Landen Associates – went directly to the Dobson campaign.
Pigeon rebuttal
Pigeon and Mazurek emphasize that their committee never "coordinated" with the Dobson campaign or with legislators running against candidates endorsed by the Zellner organization. They also point out their "unauthorized committee" can spend unlimited amounts absent any coordination.
Mazurek has acknowledged she was formerly active in this year's legislative campaigns but backed off when she became treasurer of the WNY Progressive Caucus. Since then, she said she only worked on the campaigns in a volunteer capacity.
Absent acting in concert with the campaigns, she and Pigeon insist they are free to raise and spend any amount they want.
Pigeon labeled the Grant-Hogues letter a "frivolous action" and questioned whether Cuomo's Moreland Commission is even charged with probing political campaigns.
"The charge is to investigate corruption of public officers," Pigeon said, "not to be a campaign watchdog. That power still lies with the Board of Elections.
"Anybody can request an investigation," he added. "That doesn't mean there are grounds."
Potential probe
A potential Moreland Commission probe is significant because Board of Elections officials rarely investigate complaints of election law violations. The boards have limited resources and virtually no investigative personnel.
And while other district attorneys around the state have investigated and prosecuted election law violations, Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III has insisted that his office is charged with prosecuting – not investigating – crimes. He maintains the Board of Elections or police agencies should conduct the probes.
"If we have credible evidence, admissible in a court of law that demonstrates a crime has been committed, we prosecute," Sedita said. "I don't do investigations of murders, I don't do investigations of rapes, and I sure as hell don't do election law violations."
The district attorney said the Board of Elections should properly probe such allegations, though he acknowledged the District Attorney's Office did initiate an investigation and prosecution of former West Seneca Supervisor Paul T. Clark's unsuccessful campaign for county executive in 2007.
"That's how Frank Clark did it," he said, referring to his predecessor. "I decided to do it differently.
"I will do my job and not go out and do somebody else's job," he added.
Sacha accused Sedita and former District Attorney Frank J. Clark III in 2009 of providing an election law pass to Pigeon because of his political influence. But Sedita insisted then, as he does now, that his office is not the proper vehicle for such investigations.
Sedita, whom Cuomo appointed to the Moreland Commission, questioned whether the panel can conduct the kind of probe Grant and Hogues requested.
"It doesn't extend to every conceivable complaint, including every conceivable political complaint," he said. "We're supposed to look at the State Assembly and the State Senate. I don't think the grant extends to countywide political races."
The spokeswoman for the Moreland Commission said Cuomo's instructions to the panel do include scrutiny of elections and campaign financing as very much a part of its mission, specifically outlined in Cuomo's executive order.

Summit Theater
300 W. Lafayette Boulevard,
3 people favorited this theater
The Cass Theater opened as a legitimate theater September 12, 1926. It was designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp who designed a great number of New York City's Broadway theaters.
In 1965, it was renamed the Summit Cinerama Theatre as Detroit's second Cinerama house after the Music Hall. It also received a complete facelift by Drew Eberson, son of John Eberson, who designed Detroit's (now demolished) Grand Riviera Theatre.
However, unlike the Music Hall's policy of a Cinerama-only program, the Summit Theater also featured 35mm features as well, such as a long run of "Darling" in 1965 (the same year it screened such Cinerama hits as "Circus World" and "Battle of the Bulge").
After just a couple of years, the Summit Theater dropped Cinerama, and became one of the first major downtown houses to switch to pornographic features. It closed in 1971.
Not long after that, it reopened once again, this time called the Pandora Theater, screening Greek-language films, as well as the occasional 70mm re-release.
By the mid-1970's, it was shuttered again, and was demolished in 1977.

As a child I was in the production of "The King and I' starring Betty White. I have been unable to find any information as I would love to share this with my family. Does anyone remember this?
The pair of Norelco DP-70 projectors from this theatre are now located at the Redford Theatre.
……..And I was one of those who took them there and installed them. I worked at the Summit in the summer of 1977 showing a retro showing of "2001" for a young-ish guy who sublet the theatre for these 2001 screenings. We were able to get the projectors and other booth equipment for the Redford theatre, and spent the six months between removing the machines at the Summit and when we started the classic movie series that is still running in March of 1978 with "The sound of music" in 70mm.
We always refer to the machines as "AAIIs", the older marketing name for these terrific projectors.
I was also in the King and I with Betty White in 1960 at the Cass Theater along with my Twin Brother John.
If anyone has any stories about going to/ working at this threatre in its adult days, I would love to hear them. I am chronicling the histories of adult theatres in the US. Please contact me at Thanks!

How to generate leads with content marketing: 3 tactics revealed
Content marketing can be a powerful tool for finding your audience and turning them into potential customers.
But how do we generate leads with content marketing? These are three of our go-to tactics.
Tactic 1: Build a strategy around website conversions
A customer should be able to tell what your website is about and why it's important to them in five seconds – that's the industry standard in website usability.
To achieve this, your site needs a primary goal, which must be communicated clearly so that – in just five seconds – a user is aware of the journey they should take, and more importantly, why they should take it.
- A bad example: Imagine you have a website selling business-improvement consulting to local SMBs. At the top of your home page is your brand name and a big sign saying "It's time to take the next step in your journey – and XYZ Consulting is here to help," accompanied by a "Contact Us" CTA. Why would anyone click that? We haven't told them anything – the CTA isn't compelling, and it presents no value to a user. Yet, this style of home page is incredibly common.
- A good example: We have the same page, same brand name, but instead at the top we have "XYZ Consulting can help improve staff productivity by 40% and cut business costs by 30%. The first consultation is free – improve your business today," followed by the contact CTA. Now we've told the reader what we offer and why it's valuable, making our button – the next step in their journey – more compelling.
This same tactic applies to any number of lead-generating objectives, like "Book a demo", "Download our whitepaper", "Subscribe to our newsletter", "Join our webinar" and so on.
– Key takeaway
Every single page of your website should have a clear objective, and a compelling reason for the user to complete this objective. This doesn't just apply to the home page.
Tactic 2: Target users at different stages of the sales funnel
Content is powerful because it's flexible. Simply by adjusting what we produce, we can tune content to address different parts of the sales funnel.
Let's look at examples of targeting content to the sales funnel. Imagine we're deploying content marketing to generate leads for a B2B firm. What should we use?
– Top of funnel
- Context: We're looking to build interest in your service. These readers might not be ready to convert, or even know that your service exists, but we can capture their contact details so a salesperson can follow up.
- Potential objectives: Gated downloads ("Download our e-book"), Sign up to a webinar, subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on social media.
- Content types: Here we're looking at broad topics that will engage a wider audience. We'll be answering questions commonly asked by customers doing research, and producing interesting stories about our industry. This is an opportunity to build thought leadership.
– Bottom of funnel:
- Context: These customers have done their research, know they require the type of service we provide, and are ready to convert. We need to convince them that our service is the best one.
- Potential objectives: Start your free trial, speak to a salesperson, book a demo or buy now.
- Content types: Because we need to convince a user that we're better than our competitors, our content at the bottom of the funnel will be about showing off our USPs and how they might apply to a user's business (like a case study). We'll create content about our service and its benefits.
And of course, all of these ideas apply to B2C businesses as well.
– Key takeaway
Don't try to capture leads from everybody at once. Plot out your objectives based on the sales funnel and use different types of content to target those specific audiences.
Tactic 3: Promote your best content on multiple channels
There are so many platforms available online to help you promote content, so why would you only use one?!
We talk a lot about SEO strategy on the Castleford blog, but organic search is only one part of the puzzle. While ranking highly in Google is a great passive strategy for drawing in long-term traffic, you'll drive more leads, and faster, by finding other ways to target your customers.
So what are we talking about, here?
- Google AdWords: Use AdWords to get your gated whitepaper in front of more Google users, or target key landing pages to valuable search terms. Wordstream says AdWords has an average click-through rate of almost 2 per cent.
- Facebook ads: According to Social Media Examiner, 62 per cent of marketers use Facebook. It's a great platform, with an average conversion rate of 9.21 per cent, says WordStream. Visual content works great on Facebook, which makes it ideal for video and graphic promotions.
- Other social media: Social Media Examiner also showed that marketers are using Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn as well. Snapchat and Pinterest ads aren't as common, but if your audience is on these platforms then you shouldn't shy away.
– Key takeaway
You'll get more traffic by targeting multiple channels with your best content than only relying on one. It also helps you find out which channels are most effective for your audience, meaning you can be target more strategically in the future.
In summary
Content marketing is a fantastic tool for driving lead generation. It's able to cross channels, target specific audiences and help users convert on your website.
Now the only thing left is for you to get your objectives together and start making content!

Gordon Automotive opened its doors for business on August 1, 1966. For about the first two years Mike Gordon worked by himself late into the night making sure his customer was taking care of. It wasn't until January of 1968 when Gordon Automotive hired its first employee. In November of 1968 Gordon Automotive moved to its present day location. It was a small shop at the time so Mike added two extra bays and two more technicians. Mike built Gordon Automotive into a true archetype business for the industry. A new shop was built and moved into in January of 1979. Later additions came with an eight bay add-on in 1990 along with a parts department add-on in 1999. We have come along way since that two bay shop, twenty bays now and still growing. Gordon Automotive Inc. will always try to improve in whatever way possible to provide that special service we know our customers deserve.

This week I wrote a small algorithm to convert binary numbers into decimal numbers. Here's the problem description, from Exercism.io:
Convert a binary number, represented as a string (e.g. '101010'), to its decimal equivalent using first principles. Implement binary to decimal conversion. Given a binary input string, your program should produce a decimal output. The program should handle invalid inputs.
And here is my code:
class Binary
def self.to_decimal(string)
raise ArgumentError if string.match?(/[^01]/)
string.reverse.chars.map.with_index do |digit, index|
digit.to_i * 2**index
I like that my solution matches for
ArgumentError positively, covering a range of bad inputs not specified by the test cases. I like that it reverses the string so that
index can be used as the incrementing exponent. And, I like that it uses
.map to return a result without an accumulator variable.
I do not love that my solution takes an argument called
string. Although that's the type the method expects, it doesn't tell the reader a lot about what this method does. If I could rewrite it, I'd name that variable something like

First off, Congratulations! You did it! You're almost here to check-in for what may be the most magical experience of your life. Arrival day can be a bit stressful because everyone is nervous about roommates and where they're going to work, but don't worry; here are some helpful tips to set you up for success on your Arrival day.
Employee Verification Documents
Make sure to bring the correct Employee Verification documents. The complete list of documents that you would need is found on the oboarding site. It can also be found on any United States I-9 form.
DORMS Onboarding Pass
Make sure to bring the DORMS Onboarding you receive after you complete your DORMS information. If you were not near a printer when this was completed, visit https://dorms.disney.com to log in and print out.
Don't Forget to Eat
Eat a balanced breakfast and bring snacks. You will be meeting tons of people and have a packed day, so it would be beneficial to make sure you eat a good breakfast to start your day off right! Snacks will help make you friends (so bring enough) as well as keep you energized throughout the day.
Bring Water
A water bottle! Whether you're arriving for a Spring or Fall program, this is Florida, it can get hot and humid any time of year. Stay hydrated!
Prepare for Inclement Weather
Bring an umbrella. Again, this is Florida, who knows what the weather will be like when you arrive.
How to Dress
Casual attire for check-in is OK Check the weather forecast before you check in. It will be a long day and the weather could suddenly change. Come prepared for anything.
Onboarding New Hire Paperwork
Last but not least, make sure you have completed your Onboarding New Hire Paperwork. If these documents are not completed before you arrive it will delay the check in process.
Once your arrival day is complete, it's pretty much smooth sailing from there. You start work in a few days, so relax, get to know your roommates and neighbors, and get ready for the time of your life!

Momentum Consulting Group's® extensive experience in the federal and public government marketplaces encompasses everything from bid preparation and submittal to contract award, implementation and management. Our experienced staff has secured General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) in the federal government space, cooperative purchase agreements across all public agencies, including nonprofits and higher education, as well as specific state, county, (K-12) schools and other municipalities' individual agreements. These government successes are across a number of industries, and Momentum's team further managed and implemented those agreements to the benefit and profitability of the organization.
The federal and public marketplace is in a constant state of change due to many factors including pressure from constituents on lawmakers and changes in administration, making these markets harder than ever to navigate. Momentum understands these challenges and knows where the obstacles to entry exist and how to overcome them. Equally as important, Momentum has the experience and know-how to secure for your organization its share of the federal and public spend. Secure your company's place in the coveted federal and public marketplace by allowing Momentum to guide you through the process, avoiding the obstacles and cutting through the bureaucracy to capture the opportunity. There is no better time to diversify into or expand your existing government sales.Available Services
Momentum has several options it can implement to assist its customer in achieving their federal government sales aspirations. Our clients have the opportunity to choose from one, a few or the entire array of service offerings that will create, equip and execute a sales organization ready to penetrate the fruitful federal government arena.
Opportunity Evaluation
Momentum is adept at understanding federal government opportunities across all products and services. The federal government is the largest purchaser of virtually everything and Momentum can define the opportunity for your specific product or service offering. Many organizations do not believe they have a place in the realm of federal sales and at Momentum we know how to best identify those opportunities for virtually all businesses.
Whether you are bidding on a specific Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ) or trying to secure one of the many Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts that the General Services Administration (GSA) has to offer MOMENTUM has the expertise necessary to help your organization navigate the pricing, paperwork and bureaucratic processes of federal contracts.
Momentum will be with your organization every step of the way, because just like any savvy private sector organizations the federal government wants to negotiate the best 'deal' it can for the utilization of tax payer dollars. Momentum knows how best to create and balance the cost/value proposition to convey your organization's unique offering to fulfill their goals.
Upon award Momentum will ensure your organization is ready to fulfill the offering you have put before the federal government. We have broken this down into four key areas:
More than just reporting it is essential that any successful government contract is managed to the specific terms and conditions it was awarded under. Momentum will work with your team to create processes and procedures to ensure these obligations are met.
The federal government has their own language, many acronyms and sales obstacles at every juncture. Momentum possesses the experience, know-how and ability to either train your team or build you a top-notch sales organization that can fully maximize the sales opportunity.
As one of Momentum's core competencies training and development also applies to the federal sales initiative. From speaking their language to finding the opportunities Momentum group will make sure your people are prepared to capture your piece of the opportunity.
Once possessing a GSA contract, Blanket Purchasing Agreement (BPA) or other federal sales vehicle you have to know where to best utilize the vehicle. In addition to federal agencies, many federal prime contractors use these vehicles to procure the products and services they use to service the federal government. Many states and other government and municipalities use these vehicles. Momentum will show your sales organization how best to maximize the opportunity we have created.

Therapy in Romania
Therapy in Romania is committed to assisting Romanian nationals in establishing quality, professional therapy services to meet the needs of children as well as young people and adults. This site was alive from the beginning of 2006, to the end of 2013. I am going to be re-posting some of the material from wayback machine onto this website to keep it going because it is extremely interesting and helpful to the public.
Therapy in Romania is deeply committed to quality standards in all its work.
Therapy, supervision and training take place in accordance with the highest ethical codes and standards developed by:
- European Association of Transactional Analysis
- United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
Therapy in Romania has developed its own practice policies that other groups are welcome to use as the basis for their own policies. These concern:
- Child Protection
- Equal Opportunities
- Health and Safety
Therapy in Romania uses evaluation techniques:
- Clinical governance for therapy
- Feedback evaluation for training
Therapy in Romania provides specialist skills, working with:
- trauma
- abuse
- abandonment
- neglect
- the effects of poverty
- autism/Asperger's
- disability
- symptoms of 'pseudo-autism' a result of being institutionalized
Mission Statement
Therapy services in Romania for children, families and adults. Providing services that are professional, supervised and conducted within national and European ethical guidelines.
Play skills, mountain activities and Play Therapy using experts who are trained and supervised and who follow clear guidelines on physical safety, child protection and equal opportunities. Play Therapy that abides by the codes of practice of Play Therapy International.
Psychotherapy and counselling based on Transactional Analysis, provided by practitioners who are members of national or international Transactional Analysis professional organisations and who adhere to their guidelines.
Training and supervision led by people competent in the subject and who are supervised for their work. Such training and supervision is open to suitable trainees regardless of culture or ability/disability.
Consultancy to Child Protection Departments, foundations, churches and Non-Government Organisations that is contractual, clear and ethical, taking account of the organisation's published policies on child protection and equal opportunities.
Below, I have posted some information about Therapy in Romania mission statements, equal opportunities, child protection, and more…
After finishing my college education as a child therapist, I got some invitation to Romania where my paternal uncle had lived for a decade. He had established his psychiatrist profession there and he had made a few connections which he would use to find me a job. Once I got there, he took me to one of his friends whom I later found out was the director of Therapy in Romania, which is the country's child and disability rights championing the organization.
We met at a pub where the two men had 2 beers each and I was given a soda. After getting tipsy, they agreed on my joining the organization effectively the following day. It was such a short notice but since I wanted to get my hands into practice, I was looking forward to the day.
All about Therapy in Romania
After we got home from the meeting with the director, I did my digging about the organization. I found out that it was a non-governmental body which used charity and the generosity of wellwishers to fund its activities. The overall objective was to promote healthy and safety, child protection for needy cases and those with disabilities. For the first few years since its inception, it had garnered the support of diversified stakeholders some of which included churches, the government, global human rights movements as well as renowned individuals who championed for equal opportunities for all.
Right from the beginning, I wanted to be working with destitute children and help them lead a normal life. Here was an opportunity to make that dream valid thanks to my uncle who in deed was the one that gave me the inspiration to study therapy. The feeling of waking up to aid a child realize that he/she has the same opportunities as the rest who are from affluent families gave me the urge to love my job. It even got better when I would see the transformation of a handicapped youth get a job and be in charge of what they became in future.
How the organization works
My first day at work was not what I expected but I had to conceal my shock. Instead of getting someone to orient me on what happens around here, there were files on my desk and I had to go through them and recommend the best way we could help such cases. My 4 years in college had prepared me for such instances and I handled it so well that the next day I was tasked with talking to a child who had his grandmother recuperating from breast cancer post chemotherapy.
Therapy in Romania widely consults with child and disability pro departments so as to ensure that its practices are within the confines of law. It already has working contracts with social care foundations and non-profit bodies that help not only in funding but also guiding on the best approach to cases of inequality, abuse and distribution of resources.
To handle issues of abuse of children and the disabled, there is a laid down procedure where counselling is offered by seasoned professionals. Besides, there are also mitigation plans such as child adoption where our organization conducts background and legal checks before recommending such a move. Other interventions include healthy diets and activity/play skills to help children develop into physically fit adults.
The highs and lows of the job
Just like it is expected with every job, working here has had its good and bad sides. I always feel justified if I help make the life of someone else better. Some children come to us without any hope of having a better future. They just need something to sustain their current life. When I contribute to bring a sense of hope in such scenarios then this is one of my most jubilant moments. The lows are when I cannot do much to help a dire situation.
There was one time when a child was brought to us. Her mother was suffering from an incurable condition and the child knew there was no way she (her mother) would live. I wished I would do a miracle to reverse the condition but the lady died a week after. The child is now in high school and faring very well but I never forgot that her mother had to die and none of us could help.

A LEASING BROKER is an intermediary who sits between the customer, the motor manufacturers and the vehicle funders. A broker marries the best available vehicle prices with the best available funding terms. The process is similar to an insurance broker.
What does a leasing broker do?
At its most basic, a broker should provide competitive supply terms to customers. They should be aware of market trends. And the best deals. But better brokers will take this further. They will provide support, advice, fleet management and management information – all this is designed to save customers time and money.
What are the advantages of using a leasing broker?
Brokers have no affiliation to any particular manufacturer. They usually represent a number of funders, too. This means: their advice should be impartial; their terms competitive; and their turnaround time short. The best brokers are flexible. They want to build long term relationships with their customers. This includes providing support and information to reduce the customer's management time and liability.
What are the disadvantages of using a leasing broker?
As with all industry sectors there are good players. And bad players. It is relatively easy to set up a business in this sector. That means there are a number of individuals and small companies that trade with a short term approach. A number of brokers also advertise 'special offers': on closer inspection these can turn out to be bogus deals designed to make the phone ring. It is not normal to provide brokers with large deposits in advance. Be cautious before parting with your cash.
What should I look for in choosing a leasing broker?
Professional accreditations are a good guide to the company's likely business standards and ethics. Look for BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) membership. Seek out those brokers authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). These companies will have invested time and money in training and systems and will abide by the BVRLA code of conduct. They should provide a holistic solution to all of your transport needs – not just the supply of vehicles.

Is this app opensource? Best regards.
Really nice Harmattan style UI indeed. The only thing missing is copy & paste - all the basic functionality is there.
Thanks! :) I hope to be able to provide copy&paste -functionality when PR 1.2 comes around.
I really like the look and feel of this one. The highlight popup is nice. Only complaint is on encoding support. UTF-8 is pretty common these days and should be supported.
An update has been submitted to the QA review; * Fixed encoding detection issues * Keep VKB open after pressing "Send"
I used it with bitlbee to get a client for some chat protocols not shipped with N9. But, it seems to lack any notification mechanism, e.g. if some message arrives while the device is locked. Any chance of fixing that?
An update is on the way (QA review in progress): - Added sound (active app) & vibra (inactive app) effects - Added an indicator for "unseen" messages - Made it possible to specify user name (ident) and real name - Various minor fixes and improvements
Can it be used for msn?
Unfortunately not. It's a dedicated IRC client - not a multi-protocol chat client (and there are no plans to make it such).

In this informative 7-minute video from Harvard Business Review titled "Why Strategy Execution Unravels--And What To Do About It," three cornerstones of successful execution are discussed, as well as five common myths.
Specifically, the cornerstones are:
1) Coordination - Coordinating across business units, keeping key information clear and simple (and make sure your systems support cross-business unit management as well). The video offers a smart reminder that execution should not be top down, but should be driven from middle managers closest to the action, with general guidance from the top. This is where the crisp, simple messaging is vital.
2) Agility - Rapidly adapting to change in line with strategy, even if it means shifting people across business units (but beware of chasing every opportunity; strategic focus is key)
3) Reallocation - Constantly reallocating resources and funds based on current strategy and priorities (allocation isn't a one-time decision)
I couldn't agree more regarding all of this. Having a clearly communicated set of strategies and business priorities that are coordinated across the business; being adaptive to change through regular portfolio reviews and adaptive delivery methods; and regularly reallocating resources and funds based on priorities are all crucial to successful strategy execution.
These principles are what we've been preaching at PDWare for some time now and what I've been writing about for ages, so it's great to see it so well articulated in this insightful video. As HBR reports, 75% of organizations struggle to implement strategy. I'd venture to say it's because they're not paying attention to cross-business coordination, execution agility, and regular reallocation.
One telling statistic highlighted is that only 16% of team leaders and frontline supervisors feel they have a good grasp of how priorities fit together. This is because communication is often focused on quantity over quality and dilutes the message with too many elements.
An example in the video depicted a company trying to communicate a message with dozens of objectives, values, priorities, competencies, and new terms. Who's going to remember all that let alone care about it? Another mistake is an over-focus on hitting the numbers vs. compelling messages and rewards that actually drive behavior. Sadly, I've seen all of this in far too many organizations.
For those seeking to better execute on strategy, viewing the video will be 7 minutes well spent.

Tough week... Lines seem pretty tight.
-The Skinny
On to this week's picks:
Blatant Homerism--Week 11
(Last week: 4-1; Overall: 32-17-1)
Baylor at Oklahoma (-6)
I'll try to get a post in on this before the game. Essentially, this boils down to the Bears' struggles on the offensive line and Bryce Petty's dodgy health.
The pick: Sooners exact a measure of revenge for last season's dismantling.
West Virginia at Texas (+3)
This has the feel of a major flat spot for the Mountaineers after giving last week's game away to TCU. Also, Dana Holgorsen's play selection in the second half suggested that Clint Trickett isn't right.
As an aside: I can't believe Texas hasn't come up with a marketing campaign yet for Charlie Strong based on the 2010 Gwyneth Paltrow movie "Country Strong." No-brainer, right?
The pick: Laugher for the Longhorns – think "Shallow Hal."
Memphis (-7.5) at Temple
Temple recovered nine out of 11 fumbles in the game in last week's upset of East Carolina. Otherwise, the Owls got worked. They were outgained 300 yards and garnered 10 first downs to ECU's 30. That's as fluky as it comes.
Henceforth, I will back the superior team in Memphis. Enjoy what might be the final days of Justin Fuente as your head coach, Tigers.
The pick: Memphis with a quickness.
Oregon at Utah (+8.5)
For Oregon, Utah is what Stanford was. The Utes have a rugged front seven capable of putting the clamps down on the Ducks' high-flying offense.
Equally important, beating the Cardinal last week got UO over a major mental hurdle. I don't trust Mark Helfrich to keep his team sharp for this one.
The pick: Oregon by two, if at all.
Clemson at Wake Forest (+21)
The Tigers' offense just hasn't been the same since Deshaun Watson was lost with a broken finger. Watson will be available versus the Demon Deacons, but it doesn't sound like he's that "available," ya know?
Really don't like that many games this week. This one is a dart throw.
The pick: Clemson by not enough.
The Skinny--Week 11
(Last week: 3-2; Overall: 26-23-1)
Oregon (-8.5) at Utah
Kansas State (+6) at TCU
Utah State at Wyoming (+7)
Wisconsin at Purdue (+17) – Ugh, bad week.
Memphis at Temple (+7.5)

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington invited me to a cupcake making class few weeks ago and I had an amazing time! I went to the event with my blogger friend Gemma from Gemsies and it was great to meet other bloggers. We had the chance to converse with others while creating decorations of six cupcakes of our own to take home. Not only did did we take home cupcakes that we created but I won a bottle of champagne through the basis of my drawing skills. We were asked to draw a cow in two minutes and the best drawing won. So yay me!! Overall I learnt a lot of things relating to cake making and had a lot of fun.
Its a beautiful Hotel and is the definition of London luxury and not only do Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington exist in London but in other locations around the world like New Zealand, Dubai, France, China and many more, so keep in mind this hotel when planning you next vacation.

Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry, Japan has one big toilet. That helps out. See, most public restrooms can be kind of crappy (get it?). They're cramped and dirty, which probably doesn't help relax your mind while you're relaxing your body (get it still?). But architect Sou Fujimoto has a better , bigger idea.
Fujimoto has designed the world's biggest toilet, not by creating a giant toilet — the porcelain throne itself is normal-sized — but by virtue of designing a giant, outdoor stall. If you're a woman (sorry, no guys) in Ichihara City in Chiba Prefecture and need to take a leak, you can pay a little to use this 10 million yen toilet in a clear glass box, placed on 200 square meters of land adorned with beautiful flowers. It may look sparse now, but things will continue to grow until the area is bursting with grass, flowers, and trees. And don't worry, no one will see you, because the toilet is surrounded by a two-meter fence.
Ideally, Fujimoto would like to see access extended to men, who need to take a particularly serene dump. I'd like to try it out too, but let's be fair here: women won't like sharing a restroom with men, and men's restrooms are usually pretty nasty. Why not make a second outdoor toilet next door?

Ukraine is for many in Western Europe, a terra incognita. Where you locate your country?
Politically, Ukraine is today no European country. We're back somewhere in . The prospects are poor. The leaders repeat the mantra of European integration, but in reality they do something completely different.The EU wants Ukraine to not break the bridges. But they should use the rhetoric of the ruling group to exert pressure. Actually, the EU would have with Ukraine is the approach as with Belarus.
Yanukovich is the one you conjured up in 2003 Ukrainian Putin, Ukraine will "stabilize" the Russian model?
Putin is smart, smart, athletic, sexy. Yanukovych is a parody of Putin. But he wants the ideas of the of the so-called sovereign democracy and copy. Freedom of speech exists in Russia only on the web. The judiciary is completely brought into line already.
What has changed since the takeover of the "Blue" in early 2010?
Sometimes I feel like I was in another country. Maybe I'm paranoid, but my city of Ivano-Frankivsk I feel sad and dirtier than a year ago. I am a witness of disintegration. The government is increasingly cynical and corrupt. The pressure, in conjunction with the local election commission was exerted on, was massive. I fear that Ukraine is on its way to becoming a "failed state" to be who can not fulfill its functions.
Were you surprised by the speed of restoration?
Yes, I am with a regime à la Kuchma (controversial President of Ukraine from 1994 to 2005, note) had expected. But it was worse. Yanukovych and his supporters have no connection to Ukraine. The country is only a tool for them to get even richer and more powerful. I was also surprised the massive attacks on the Ukrainian culture, language and identity. The pressure on local authorities is enormous, which means brutal.
But Yanukovych is, after all democratically elected president.
Really dangerous is it when characters who have come to power democratically undermine, democracy. You want to secure their power forever by allowing free elections in the future no more. A political analyst said it: in the past were thieves and rogues in power, now it's killer. The only hope is that the rulers of the Western perspective is important. They have bank accounts in the West and do holiday in Sardinia. Since the pressure would start.
Could a radical step, its about the connection of the eastern Ukraine to Russia, a solution to the current division of the country?
I have a few months in this direction expressed before and I was massively attacked. But such is the reality: Without the Donbass and Crimea regions had 38 percent of the vote and Yanukovych percent received 55th But the territorial integrity of Ukraine is a sacred cow. My critics say I am for an independent Wales, for any Kuk-protected areas. This is absurd.Galicia itself makes no sense. It belongs to the large Ukraine. But the great Ukraine today is too large...
