How a bid to win hearts and dollars can backfire
This story is about a very slow moving train-wreck that's happening on Twitter right now. Gloria Jean's has declared July to be "With Heart" month: the idea is that each Gloria Jean's store makes a donation to a charity in it's local area and the company publicises these donations to get positive PR around their brand.
Thankful for the financial support, charities like Variety Australia have suggested that its supporters should buy a coffee in tweets like this:
When marketers realised that people subconsciously prefer to buy products they identify with, a whole new era of marketing began. Instead of talking about the properties of their products, modern brands try to draw a subconscious link between how you would like to see yourself and what they're selling.
They do this on the premise that a consumer will favour brand A over brand B because they believe that brand A is like them. And, who doesn't want to believe that they're good-hearted, community minded individual?
In this world it makes sense for a chain of coffee shops to support local, worthy causes because their customers can feel as if they're connected to their local community. People tend to follow local charities on social media for this very reason.
On the surface it seems like a good deal: the charity gets much-needed cash, the company gets advertising, the consumer gets coffee and everyone is happy. So why is this a social-media train-wreck?
The Gloria Jean's campaign has been "tagjacked", instead of being full of local charity stories and people saying how they've just bought coffee to support their preferred causes, many Twitter users are using it to talk about a boycott of Gloria Jean's. The #WithHeartLocal tag has filled up with angry tweets, such as:
Last month it became very public in social media that Gloria Jean's and its owners have been among the largest financial contributors to many anti-gay marriage organisations, including Australian Christian Lobby, Family First, Hillsong Church, Mercy Ministries and organisations that sell faith-based 'gay cures'. The company even apologised on its Facebook page for any offense these donations may have caused.
That's why the #withheartlocal tag is full of Tweets expressing outrage at co opting local causes for PR aims:
I can't imagine anyone in the Gloria Jean's PR team is at all happy with the tweets coming through on #withheartlocal, but many of them are rip-snorters, including my personal favourite so far:
Gloria Jean's has a simple choice to make – it can either further embrace the values that made it donate to Australian Christian Lobby, (thereby alienating 67% of Australian voters who support gay marriage), or it can dump the Australian Christian Lobby. Just like the #qantasluxury mess, the Gloria Jean's #withheartlocal debacle reminds us that social media doesn't forget.
Most commented
Fiddler says:
Wow, they donate to a number of churches, some of which are against gay marriage. Why not show a breakdown of how much they contribute to every charity.
Tim the Toolman says:
They're not going to dump the ACL. The company will burn to the ground before they dump the ACL.
Samuel says:
"Gloria Jean's has a simple choice to make – it can either further embrace the values that made it donate to Australian Christian Lobby, (thereby alienating 67% of Australian voters who support gay marriage), or it can dump the Australian Christian Lobby."
Yeah, look, that's not even remotely true. Is there any evidence that these campaigns have had any impact on Gloria Jeans' bottom line? Come to think of it, is there any rational reason why someone should give two shits about what their coffee provider thinks of gay marriage? This "simple choice" is not actually a choice they need to make at all.
You're dead right about the fact that this kind of twitter campaign is stupid and ripe for implosions but talk about conclusions not supported by the evidence…
Tim says:
I'm sure this is a big deal on Oxford Street but the rest of us realise that the only people who use Twitter are retarded hipsters who think their 140 character musing are literary genius when really they're complete shite.
Sock Turf says:
Graceless gen-y whingers take to twitter for some self congratulatory slacktivism. What about all the good work Gloria Jeans are doing? I'd like to see the complainers GetUp! off the couch and do some hard yards helping the needy.
Furthermore when Starbucks closed on Lygon Street the average quality of coffee available went down!
I clicked on the 'like' button yet Joseph Konya remains at large? What is going wrong? Somebody in the government needs to do something!
miloinacup says:
You know what…I am a huge gay marriage supporter. Anyone who has seen me debate this topic on here will know that. However, I still shop at Gloria Jeans on occasion. I don't even see myself boycotting them (I doubt my once-in-a-blue-moon $5 iced chocolate will make much of a difference regardless) now that I am aware of where they like to donate money to.
I'm unsure if this makes me a hypocrite or not.
Aniko says:
Great example that people quite the mindless drones that some companies think we are. Good use of social media for people to fight back against these companies that try to distance themselves from their own actions when their (now former) customers call them out on it.

Kika says:
I thought Gloria Jeans is owned by, if not a substantial part of it, by Brian Houston and his Hillsong Conglomerate? I have boycotted Gloria Jeans for years because of this very reason - as well as the fact they have crap coffee.
subotic says:
Australian Christian Lobby, Family First, Hillsong Church.
Now there's 3 reasons to give up coffee if I've ever seen it.
A curse on their hypocrisy, their political sneakiness designed to invade and take over our lives, and their terrible, terrible music.
Gimila says:
I keep seeing people complaining about people boycotting companies based on disagreements with their behaviour/support. Why? If you either don't agree or don't care enough to change your behaviour or where you shop, fine; those of us that do care make our choice not to support businesses we see as unethical/supporting unethical causes. And if there are enough of us that do, it'll affect their bottom profits. Welcome to capitalism! That's how it works! It's one of the few actions you can take. Btw, this is hardly the first case of GJ being linked to dodgy practices/causes. Personally I dropped them a while back when I first heard of their links with Hillsong and a link to dodgy "therapy" for vulnerable people (depression, etc) in the form of "prayer" in exchange for their income being signed over (for their own good of course!).
Robert S McCormick says:
Why give Gloria Jeans the glory? Why give Gloria Jeans the Great Big Tax Deduction?
Why not donate Direct to YOUR Favourite Charity? They will send you a receipt & you can claim your donation on YOUR Tax return.
If you don't like the fact that Gloria Jeans support homphobic, so-called, religions, are homophobic themselves - unless you are buying a cup of their pathetic coffee - then Don't Bloody Well Go There!!
There are 1000s of great, privately-owned, small Coffee Shops around the country. Go to one of them. The bonus is that you will actually get Really Decent Coffee & Cakes!
Remember Gloria Jeans & those other chains are in it solely for the Profit. They but the cheapest, nastiest coffee beans. In the race for which is worse it is a tie between Gloria Jeans & Cibo
LostinPerth says:
So now a company cannot donate to a charity or cause in case it upsets the gay lobby. Talk about thought police and intolerance. The gay lobby is demonstrating all the negative behaviour, paranoia nd prejudice it used to complain about when it was directed towards them.
Shane* says:
Also, don't donate to St Vinnies, the Salvos, Anglicare
Sure, they help millions and do amazing work, but they have the audacity to have a differing viewpoint to the author's!
Kika says:
By the way - the caption photo. I've never seen a photo of instant coffee make coffee drinking look so delicious. Holey Dooley.
dj says:
While I do not support who they donate to, isn't it still a free country? As long as they disclose who the charities are is the important thing. If they supported Gay marriage then the Christians would be facebooking. This is a no win situation. At the end of the day who cares. If most people took the time to really look into many businesses then people would buy anything. Why not stop buying Mac computers due to child labour. The list goes on. From a previous post, if you don't like something then do something about it or just shut up.
Mahhrat says:
This is a big deal to me and some others. I am very much against the actions of the owners (ultimately, Hillsong) so I refuse to shop at Gloria Jeans.
It's an opinion I hold strongly. I support free speech too, so I applaud people who (politely!!) point out the Gloria Jeans of the world, and allow me to decide what other organisations to support with my resources, given their links too. Variety will no longer be part of the list I consider supporting, should they use GJ to their advantage.
ace leo ace says:
If you invite user generated content, then you don't get to control it because it is user generated. If you want to control it then you need to pay someone to create it and also pay for distribution.
End of social Media Marketing lesson.
Steve says:
Its a good job the core of around 20,000 Aussies who sign/like these "protests" are inner city lefties who are too trendy to shop in such lowbrow surburban coffee chains anyway or easily brainwashed schoolkids who have no real spending power anyway.
Slightly embarassing, whilst companies figure out social media, Yes.
Hurting the bottom line, No
Peter says:
Gloria Jeans did themselves no favours when they claimed on their facebook that they merely purchased advertising at an ACL organised event, and it was then discovered via the Electoral Commission that it was in fact a donation.
They denied donating money to Family First, until it was discovered that through their holding company donated money to an organisation 'Families Australia' that funneled all the money directly to Family First.
I have no problem with the organisation making these donations - but be up front about such *donations*, and don't expect all your customers to approve of said political donations.
Gloria Jeans can support the ACL for all I care, but don't expect me to set foot in the door and spend a cent in their stores as a result.
M says:
I refuse to buy anything from Gloria jeans for the simple fact of who they support and who they donate too.
And their coffee is rubbish anyway. Really, how can you people lower yourselves to that?
Joel B1 says:
I just bought a "hippy" product. Hand-crafted, 100% Natural (like, what isn't?) and Super Nutritious.
It's hand-seasoned and roasted on HOT-ROCKS to timeless Korean tradition.
Yep, it's seaweed-sheet snacks. And ironically they donate 5% of profits to Sea Shepard.
That's South Korea tradition and 5% to Sea Shepherd.
Can anyone name a more conflicted product?
Hanzel says:
Do these recent anti-Christian boycotts remind anyone else of how the Nazi's treated Jewish businesses in the lead up to the holocaust? This is how it usually starts…..and with the mainstream media dancing to the beat aswell….just saying.
Josephine says:
After experiencing a couple of awful coffees from GJ's I have avoided them. They even set up shop in Five Dock of all places. It was no surprise that they didn't last long. What were they thinking? As if the locals were going to buy their overpriced dishwater, sorry, 'coffee'?
I didn't know about their religious / political affiliations until I saw a comedy sketch on ABC's Mad As Hell.
Condoseres says:
To summarise: Corporations should only give money to charity if they agree with my political ideals. Corporations and individuals who support ideas I disagree with should expect to be vilified on social media for the sheer cheek of donating their money to people who disagree with me. That's just how democracy works in the digital age.
If you choose not to buy GJ's coffee because you don't like their political stance, fine. But to suggest that they have a choice between dropping the ACL because you don't like them, or suffering the socmed wrath of a thousand angry trolls only proves that intolerance is a two-way street.
Inky says:
I once again remaind people that you reap what you sow. To those defending GJ, they've brought this on themselves with their donations, making some more donations elsewhere isn't going to make that go away.
If I donated a large sum of money to an organisation whos works included kicking the most adorable puppies you could find, I'd catch a lot of flak from animal rights groups and their supporters. And if I then went and donated a bunch of money to some other things and tried to make a big deal about how generous I am, do you think the animal rights groups wouldn't attack me again?
Yes, GJ can support whoever the hell they want. And people can choose to tear into them for that if they choose to. Frankly, considering the sorts of things online communities have done to companies they don't like, hijacking a twitter tag is getting off pretty lightly. They could have goatse on their home page.
Adam R says:
This is why business' shouldn't play politics on either side. I think it's pathetic that people have such a vile reception to different views based on belief. It's almost always championed by some latte sipping leftie who will always stand up for multiculturalism and tolerance too… go figure. Companies can do with what they will with their money, I don't just not buy products because they support gay marriage, even though I'm against it. Nor do I just not buy meat because the factory was pointed towards Mecca when it was cut.
Just buy the coffee where you want to buy it. Social policies shouldn't be the concern of business managers.
Nesty says:
Ultimately any marketing can backfire. Realistically, in a capitalist world no company is purely altruistic, as profit margins are the bottom line. When it comes to consumers only those financially secure enough can make a choice. If an individual boycotts one company, they better look at all the others they buy from too.
Perchance my cynicism points out that it's a slippery slope when applying ethics to capitalism if one wishes to remain consistent otherwise the whole capitalist society the Western world lives in is revealed in its hypocritical hedonism.
I am thankful that we have freedom of press and irrespective of what we believe we can say it without persecution. So we can freely all have our prejudices (positive and negative) expressed to thousands of people, many who really just don't care.
And really, coffee buying choice and social media implications are first world problems. #justsaying
MamaK says:
I don't patronise GJ's simply because my daugher worked there when she was 15, and they tried to fire her because she was in a car accident and couldnt work a shift she was rostered for. I took offence at the way they treat young workers as disposable and easily replaceable, I believe an employee's loyalty should be valued. They dismissed her unfairly and regretted it because then they met Mama I'm not overly concerned about who they donate to or support, I am an advocate of same-sex marriage and I believe it will happen eventually, with or without the support of churches, cults, big business etc, I think things such as boycotts are a personal choice, an issue which makes one of us angry or passionate isn't neccessarily going to affect the next person in the same way. By beating each other over the head with our personal beliefs we are really just acting in the same manner as the Hillsong people and other similar organisations are we not?
Carolyn says:
Sort of off topic, but sort of not…..(if that makes sense).
Has anybody noticed that many charities are becoming more abrupt in their approach for donations and support?
I mean, Won't Somebody Think of the CHILDREN!!
Last year there was a kid's charity (which I cannot recall at this moment but am sure I'll remember at 2am tomorrow), and the young girl in the advertisment stared down the camera and said "Give to the children!". It truly came across as a 'demand' - there was no 'PLEASE give to the children', or 'Give to our children, please'. It came across in such a way as to convey "well, it's for CHILDREN, so OF COURSE you'll give to us!!" I was half expecting her to say "We've already started garnishing your fortnightly pay for compulsary donations!" It really got my back up for some reason, so I made sure to give extra-extra to the RSPCA during their Million Paws Walk.

I always see so many cute nursery ideas in catalogs and in stores. It seems like are tons of great options for décor these days. Share how you decorated your baby's room and where you got your materials! -- Julie, StrongMoms Facilitator
I really wanted to to an underwater nursery theme in my daughters room... there is just something really calming about the water. My fiance however was dead set on a whinnie the poo theme and won the battle. He is a finish carpenter and built the furniture in our daughters room out of buggie pine (It is a natural wood color with blue-black markings from beetles). It without a doubt is the coolest looking furniture i have seen. To match it we found some whinnie the pooh bedding that is very country looking. other than that we din't really theme out the room too much. We are now working on a toddler bed for her and we're considering a multi level castle bed/ play area. but still undecided as of now.
Brinny - I've never heard of buggie pine! I'm going to Google it to see what it looks like - it sounds like a gorgeous room! I think the old classic Winnie the Pooh is so cute. I was reading some of it to my 3 year old and it's full of the sweetest quotes. I had forgotten how poignant and wise Pooh really is. ;-)
We have the castle bed and I have to tell you I regret getting it.. it's a pain to change the sheets, takes up huge amounts of room and is a hazard for the younger kids. I guess we don't have themes beyond that. More color schemes with a lot of photos.
I have a good friend that is a sports fanatic and her husband is equally obsessed and so with the birth of their little boy they did-a sports theme to the nursery. It is adorable!
My sons room doesn't have much of a theme. If anything I guess it would be a video game/ Pokemon theme lol.
My older boys have a room with a nautical theme --it is red and blue with white and khaki accents. We have a treasure map on the wall and a map of the world as well. My daughter's room is just a girly mess of pink and yellow with flowers. It is really cute and we made it even cuter by framing some of her art work and putting them around the room!
My two boys have a sports themed room as well! I've always thought it might be fun to do a space room - rockets, planets, stars, etc. Perhaps that'll be their big boy room idea!!
When I was browsing sites for nursery themes, there is this one that I came across a few times. It's the turtle reef collection and I have always been big into underwater and sea life. Mostly dolphins though. :P I recently started to redo the master bathroom and am going for a beach theme with seashells and I want it to feel like a tropical paradise when I go into my bathroom. haha That's when I decided to do something similar for the nursery AND now the baby shower. :P
However, I am a HUGE gamer and am addicted to the video game HALO, so the nursery may also become a place for me to display my Halo collection. hehe It now gives me an excuse to get all my posters framed so I can hang them in the nursery. :P If we don't end up going with any specific theme, I may just stick with my Halo stuff and buy stuff that matches, color wise anyway.
There are some REALLY adorable sort of retro video game wall decals that I've seen around for boy rooms. Some that were sort of Pac-Man themed and so on...you could Google it and make a cute video game room - complete with Halo! That'd definitely be a unique baby room!

Bastia v Stade Rennes: Preview
Goals from Romain Alessandrini and Mevlut Erdinc boosted Rennes' bid for a UEFA Europa League place with a 2-0 win over Bastia at the Stade Jean Laville.
Their win helped Rennes bounce back from last week's 2-0 home defeat to Bordeaux and jump to fourth place in the table, while the loss was a setback for Bastia after back-to-back wins. .
The visitors showed their intent from the start when Erdinc beat Mickael Landreau with an effort from the edge of the area but his shot shaved the post.
Rennes continued to press as Alessandrini went close with a 25-yard free-kick, bringing a fine save out of Landreau, before the same player opened the scoring on 34 minutes.
The in-form Julien Feret beat Julien Palmieri on the right before delivering a dangerous cross which Alessandrini poked home at the far post - his fourth goal in five on the road.
Jean Makoun came close for the visitors before Bastia had their first real chance 10 minutes into the second half, Anthony Modeste bringing a save out of Benoit Costil after a cross by Julien Palmieri.
But Rennes doubled their lead in the 61st minute when Makoun picked out Erdinc in the area and he fired a spectacular volley into the top corner, leaving Landreau with no chance.
Bastia almost reduced the deficit in the dying seconds when Yann M'Vila was penalised for handball in the box. However Modeste lost his footing from the resulting penalty and fired well wide.

He did his time, but now a convicted murderer and rapist is out of prison..
by Josh G
posted Nov 7 2013 6:10PM
Would you be cool with living next to a guy who was convicted of murder and sexual assault? Even if he "did his time" by spending 33 years in prison?
The man I'm talking about is 63, will not be on parole and was released from Jackson today. He strangled a woman from Suttons Bay in 1971 and raped a 16 year old runaway who was hitchhiking on S. Airport in Traverse City in 1979, after he was released on parole for the murder.
Now, I ask again: Should this man be allowed to be out with the general public?

What is Health Coaching?
Coaching, whether it's from a health coach, a lifestyle coach, or a business coach, is approached from a place of action, commitment, and accountability. Unlike therapists*, coaches are not interested in listening to your problems or unearthing the cause(s) of your suffering. What they are interested in is what you can do in the here and now to take responsibility for the life you want and support you in making it happen.
Like therapists, coaching can also fall into the "is it for me?" or "what do I need one for? categories. And like therapy, coaching can seem expensive. Google is an amazing and dynamic resource when your money is funny, but sometimes you need more focused support, and that's where my self-coaching program comes in.
If you haven't already, download this free 6-month roadmap that will walk you through the basics of health coaching. This free guide will help you make an informed decision about the role health coaching can have on your life.
When you sign up, you'll get access to all of the premium content on this website, including downloads, resources, and tools to help you shift into a mindset that supports the health and happiness you desire.
Health Coaching is a dynamic relationship between a trained wellness professional and their client that promotes self-directed healing and behavior change. Health coaches encourage their clients to actively participate in their wellness process through education and self-care management.
As a graduate of Institute for Integrative Nutrition, my training included comprehensive study of over 150 nutrition theories in addition to training in supporting diverse clients in their individual health and wellness goals.
I talk a lot about making self-care a priority, the connection eating whole foods, grown locally and sustainably has to one's health and well-being, and the power of creativity to (re)shape our reality. But how do you pull that all together?
My online self-coaching program offers an holistic approach to wellness, one that takes into consideration not just food, but our relationships, career, physical activity, spirituality and other areas that impact our health and well-being.
When you sign up for my Coach Yourself program, you'll receive:

- handouts, audio, video, and more covering various health topics

'09-10 Player Reviews: Nazem Kadri
We've partnered up with Pension Plan Puppets to bring to you a Player Review series, where we will be evaluating and grading the 2009-10 season for every Leaf who featured in a significant number of games for the Blue and White last season, with an eye towards 2010-11. Next up we feature Nazem Kadri, profiled by Chemmy:
"The Summary: This is the kid we wanted. Nazem Kadri is a talented prospect with slick hands and a flair for dramatic moves that have completely embarassed defenders in the OHL.
He played one game in the NHL this year as an emergency recall against the San Jose Sharks where he was a minus one and didn't record a shot on net. Kadri represents our hopes as Leafs fans but it's important to temper your expectations: Kadri isn't the next Crosby and has a lot of work to do as a player and an athlete before he's ready to be our first line center.

The resolution up from consideration on Tuesday includes cost sharing between the City of Merrill and the Wal Mart Corporation to resolve existing traffic and safety issues at the highway 64 and Pine Ridge intersection and an incentive payment to the Wal Mart to assist in development. On page 7, section D of the development agreement between Wal Mart and the City of Merrill, it states the city will give a lump sum payment of 400 thousand dollars to Wal Mart after the City completes the construction of the intersection improvements. The City of Merrill intends to recover the payment through tax increment from the City's Tax Incremental district #3. Tuesday night's Committee of a Whole agenda includes a public comment period after committee members make a recommendation on the Development agreement with Wal Mart.
After public comment, the Committee of a Whole will convene into closed session to consider competitive or bargaining reasons for potential TIF and other development incentives for property located in Tax Increment District No. 5 (Hwy. 107/Taylor St.). Details of any closed sessions are guarded as to not affect any delicate negotiations. After reviewing City of Merrill publications, It is believed Committee members will be discussing an Industrial revenue bond for a possible new manufacturing plant in the Merrill industrial park. The committee of a whole meeting starts at 6pm in the common council chambers at Merrill City Hall.
WJMT will broadcast the Common Council Meeting Tuesday night at 7pm.

Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous)
by Imam Nawawi
237. Chapter: On the excellence of being good to slaves
Allah Almighty says, "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Be good to your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to neighbours who are related to you and neighbours who are not related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves." (4:36)
1360. Al-Ma'rur ibn Suwayd said, "I saw Abu Dharr when he was wearing a cloak and his slave was wearing a similar cloak. I asked him about that and he mentioned that in the time of the Messenger of Allah he had once exchanged insults with a man and had abused him by insulting his mother. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You are a man who still has some of the Jahiliyya in you. They are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority. Anyone who has authority over his brother should feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears and should not oblige his brothers to do what is too much for them. If you ask that of them, then give them a hand." [Agreed upon]
1361. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When a servant of one of you brings him food, if he does not sit with him, he should at least give him a morsel or two - or a bite or two. He is the one who prepared it." [al-Bukhari]

Goodridge & Penn Win at K-1 World GP in Hawaii
HONOLULU, July 29, 2005 -- Under the stars, on a balmy Hawaiian night, brawler Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge of Trinidad and Tobago scored three KO wins in three bouts to win the K-1 World Grand Prix in Hawaii Tournament. In a mixed martial arts contest also on the card, BJ Penn beat Renzo Gracie.
Held at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, this was the first-ever open-air K-1 event outside Japan. It kicked off with a pageant of local culture -- as a bevy of beauties swung their hips in intoxicating hula maneuvers, a traditional Polynesian fire dance summoned the spirits of the island 'ikaika'. Lona, the Hawaiian God of War, surely smiled as he gazed down upon the scene.
All the bouts here were contested under regular K-1 rules with the exception of the Main Event match featuring Hawaiian wunderkind BJ Penn and Brazilian veteran Renzo Gracie, which was conducted under mixed martial arts rules.
The Gracie/Penn fight had fans, Hawaiians in particular, buzzing with anticipation. It followed on Penn's victory in Honolulu last November over Renzos cousin, Rodrigo Gracie, by unanimous judges' decision. Renzo was looking to avenge the loss, while Penn was here to prove that his "new style" of mixed martial arts would prevail again over the "old school" Gracie Family fighters. There was a veritable eruption from the crowd when their 'Bruddah' BJ strode into the ring.
The bout began with Gracie getting a takedown fairly quickly, forcing Penn to a guard position. There were punches to the head from both fighters, but Gracie could not pass and Penn could not reverse and the pair remained locked in something of a stalemate through the end of the round. Due his superior positioning, Gracie came out of the first up on two judges' cards.
A much different second round saw the pair remain on their feet. Here Penn was able to inflict damage with punches, scoring solidly with a left straight that cocked Gracie's head back and bloodied his face. The Brazilian repeatedly went for the takedown, and Penn repeatedly answered with the fists and the knees and more punishment.
In the third it was Penn who went for the single-leg takedown, then passed Gracie's guard fairly well with punches. Late in the round Penn moved to a side mount and at the bell -- which is to say, too late -- finally got into a full mount position. All three judges gave him this round as well as the second, and Penn had the unanimous win -- which left him happy, but not over overjoyed.
"Renzo fought harder than I expected, and I wish I'd only had 30 more seconds, because I think I had him at the end and then the bell sounded," said Penn post-bout. "That's why I prefer no-time limit fights, because once I got on top if I'd had even 30 more seconds I would have finished him off with punches."
Asked about his approach to fighting, Penn waxed poetic. "Victory is reserved for those willing to pay the price," he said. "I refuse to lose!"
Also big on the card (literally) was a K-1 Rules Superfight featuring Hawaiian 'moke' Akebono and Hong-Man Choi of South Korea. A Sumo Wrestling Yokozuna (Grand Champion), Akebono is a living legend in his home state. Here he stepped in against another giant of a man, Hong-Man Choi -- the surprise winner at the K-1 Asian Grand Prix earlier this year. Choi is also a national hero, his compatriots marvel at the size and strength of the former Ssirum Wrestler. A total of 380 kilograms or 840 pounds of warrior were in the ring in this battle of the behemoths.
The last time these two met, in Seoul, Choi won. Here, Akebono hoped that the hometown crowd would help him exact revenge.
The crowd cheered wildly during Akebono's introduction, but unfortunately no amount of noise could get the former Sumo Grand Champion past Choi's long reach. Try as he might in the first, Akebono was unable to get in on the big Korean, who simply stood back and threw in punch after punch. Akebono never got a sustained attack going here, and soon he was rattled and retreating. Choi made it look easy as he moved in and pumped the left, twice, for a down. Akebono beat the count, but could not finish the round, as Choi again laid in with the punches for a second down and the win.
From center ring, Choi called out to a Mike Tyson, who was sitting ringside, and invite the boxing legend to join him in the ring. "I want to fight you!" cried Choi. Tyson smiled, and shook Choi's hand.
In the third Superfight, Japanese Seidokaikan fighter Musashi met Rickard Nordstrand of Sweden. This was a very interesting matchup, with Musashi now clearly ranked among K-1's elite; and Nordstrand attempting to build on a strong performance against Defending World GP Champion Remy Bonjasky in Stockholm earlier this year.
Both fighters were focused and good with their movement in the first, Nordstrand switch-hitting against the natural southpaw Musashi. The Japanese fighter had his hard low kicks here, but Nordstrand let loose with a flying knee and generally held his own. Both fighters got their licks in through the second, Nordstrand tossing some good kicks, Musashi better in the late going, connecting with a solid left - right punch combination.
A technical third saw Nordstrand throwing the low kick, Musashi always countering immediately with one of his own. Nordstrand had some mid kicks here as well, but Musashi put a left jab in on the Swede's face and stepped in with hit-and-run attacks to score points while staying out of harm's way. Not a commanding performance from the man who has placed second at the World GP Final two years running, but good enough to give Musashi a majority decision.
Threading through the evening along with all the Superfights, was of course a K-1 World GP qualifying tournament, the eight hopefuls aware the man who went through would win a spot at the Osaka K-1 World GP 05 Final Elimination in Osaka this September.
In the first tournament matchup, Gary Goodridge took on local freestyle fighter Wesley "Cabbage" Correia. Goodridge likes to take the fight to his opponent, but here it was Correia who got the fast start, moving in with straight punches, putting his opponent against the ropes. But Goodridge weathered the early attack and then, with an uncharacteristically disciplined style, came back with technical kick and punch combinations to take control of the bout. Midway through the first Correia found himself in trouble, and soon Goodridge's solid attacks resulted in a down. After resumption, Goodridge put in a low kick to drop Cabbage a second time and earn a trip to the semifinals.
American Carter Williams captured the K-1 USA Championship in 2003, and in the second tournament bout here his opponent was Japanese fighter Nobu Hayashi, a late substitute who brought plenty of experience against good fighters to the ring.
Williams kept the guard high and threw kicks from the start, which Hayashi answered in kind. Williams planted a nice knee here but the first was otherwise uneventful until the clapper, when Williams suddenly got a right hook in on an off-balance Hayashi to score a down. In the second, Williams fired the quick high kicks up and also put some good straight punches through to take control of the fight. The third saw both men working good combinations, Williams better when the distance closed, Hayashi opting too often for the clinch. A well-deserved unanimous decision for the American.
Butterbean (USA) is a good old boy with a big old gut and a good hard hook. In the third matchup, the 363lb (165kg) fighter took on another big American, Marcus "XL" Royster (330lbs/150kg). An open-rules scrapper making his K-1 debut here, Royster didn't seem to know how to attack his rotund opponent, and every time he came in Butterbean was waiting with the hook. Butterbean pounded Royster with a right overhand in the first, and had him stunned some but could not finish it. The second saw Butterbean showboating and taunting as the crowd chanted his name. Royster tried to put the knee up here but again ate fist for his efforts. With neither man eager to move in the action slowed almost to a standstill by the end of the round.
Things picked up some in the third, Butterbean bulldozing in with body blows. Royster answered this with the clinch, and collected a yellow card for doing so. Soon afterwards, Butterbean chased his retreating opponent, smacking in a jaw-rattling right, and moments later worked the fists again to earn a standing count and all the points he'd need for the unanimous decision.
In the last of the quarterfinals, Yusuke Fujimoto of Japan, a solid Karate-based technical fighter, spotted American Scott Junk 105 lbs (48kg). Junk trains with BJ Penn and so was instantly adopted as the crowd favorite. This bout started fast, with great energy from both fighters. But as they settled in, it was clear Fujimoto had the better low kicks, while Junk's leg attacks mostly sailed wide.
The second began with Junk flailing desperately, and when the discipline-challenged fighter grabbed Fujimoto from behind, threw and then crashed down atop him, time was called and Junk was assessed a red card. From the resumption Fujimoto stepped in with the fists, which Junk could only answer with the clinch to ride out the round.
It was sloppy in the third until Fujimoto snapped a right punch in on a counter. This caught Junk on the nose and dropped the American hard, giving Fujimoto the win and a trip to the semis.
The first of the semis saw Goodridge come out like a loaded gun, swinging the big fists relentlessly. Williams never found his form here, and sunk ingloriously to the canvas after absorbing three right hooks. After the resumption, Williams fell victim again to the same attack, the second and decisive down coming just 1:13 into the opening round. Goodridge would be fresh for the final.
Before the second semi, it was announced that slotted fighter Butterbean had sustained an injury to his left leg during his bout with Royster and could not continue. It was also announced that Mike Malone, who had scored a unanimous extra-round decision against Dustin Hanning in the reserve fight, had not been cleared to continue during his post-fight doctor's check. And so, under K-1 rules, it fell to Marcus Royster to step in against Yusuke Fujimoto.
Again, Royster was aggressive from the bell, plowing Fujimoto into the corner and letting loose with punches. There followed some spirited exchanges, but Fujimoto had the superior technique, and picked the perfect time to fire an uppercut in on in Royster to score a KO victory and earn a date with Goodridge in the final.
And so the final pitted Goodridge's power and aggression against Fujimoto's technical prowess -- a classic K-1 showdown. Surprisingly, Goodridge was cautious in the early going, staying back and watching. Fujimoto kept his head down and picked his spots well, deftly moving forward in the crouch to throw punches. Fujimoto had the body blows working here, and scored with some uppercuts and kicks -- but Goodridge's blocking stood him in good stead. Late in the round, the real Goodridge finally came out to play, firing a barrage of punches, scoring a down with a left hook. A badly shaken Fujimoto beat the count, but seconds later Goodridge put the Japanese fighter down again. It took some moxie, but Fujimoto managed to stay on his feet to make it out of the round.
The second was most thrilling -- a re-energized Fujimoto in with body blows and connecting nicely with a left straight, uppercuts and a high kick. But just as it appeared the tide was turning, "Big Daddy" slugged Fujimoto with a right to put him on the canvas once again. By now, the crowd was cheering as loudly when Fujimoto wobbled back to his feet as they were when Goodridge knocked him down. Again, Fujimoto was tough enough to get out of the round.
The third was do-or-die time for Fujimoto, who started in with kicks, looking for the Hawaiian miracle which, alas, was not to be. Goodridge just had too much stamina and power here, and threw some low and high kicks of his own to boot. It was a left hook for the first down, and a left kick for the second. As the battered Fujimoto lay stretched out, with the crowd wondering if he could possibly get up once again, the Japanese fighter's corner had the good sense to throw in the towel.
Post-bout the applause was equally loud for both of these warriors, who put on a tremendous battle to finish the tournament in fine style.
"I had a dream and I believed in it and I did what I needed to do," said Goodridge post-tournament. The Hawaii GP Champion also paid tribute to his unusual support team, "I couldn't have done it without these two," he said, pointing to trainer -- his strikingly attractive, blond-dreadlocked sister, Susie; and sparring partner -- Andrew McMichael, a plump and pale Canadian drama student who is Goodridge's neighbor in Ontario, Canada.
(McMichael explained his sparring technique thus: "Basically I wear a big belt and lots of pads and hold a big medicine ball, and then Gary punches the hell out of me.")
With his victory, Goodridge picks up US$10,000 in prize money and advances to the World GP Final Elimination, set for Osaka this September. This will be an eight-bout ('one match') tournament, with winners advancing to the '05 Tokyo Dome Final. Already qualified for Osaka are the 2004 Final Eight -- Remy Bonjasky (Holland), Mighty Mo (USA), Peter Aerts (Holland), Ernesto Hoost (Holland) Francis Botha (South Africa), Ray Sefo (New Zealand), Musashi (Japan) and Kaoklai Kaennorsing (Thailand).
Joining these fighters will be Choi Hong Man (South Korea), who won the Asia GP in Seoul this March; Glaube Feitosa (Brazil), who took the US GP title in Las Vegas in April; Semmy Schilt (Holland), victor at the European GP in Paris in May; Bob Sapp (USA), who won the Japan GP in June; Jerome LeBanner (France), winner over compatriot Cyril Abidi in a special qualifying Superfight in Paris; and now Goodridge. One more fighter will qualify when this year's runners-up do battle in the last-chance Repechage Tournament at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas this August, with the 16th and final spot at Osaka to be awarded to a fighter who has exhibited exceptional fighting spirit on the year.
The K-1 World Grand Prix 2005 in Hawaii attracted a crowd of some 12,000 to the Aloha Stadium. The official results are on the K-1 Official Website Hawaii GP Page. (http://www.so-net.ne.jp/feg/k-1gp/top668.htm)
The event was broadcast live in Japan on the Fuji TV network and in South Korea on MBS ESPN. In North America fans can watch on InDemand and DirecTV at 9 PM Eastern Daylight Time (18h00 Pacific Daylight Time) on Sunday July 31. There will be delayed-broadcasts on Eurosport across Europe, Viasat in Scandinavia, ITV in the UK and Astro in Malaysia. Check with local providers for broadcast schedules.

Great Salon – I just had my hair cut at Coco & Buff Salon for the first time and I really love it! I called them on very short notice to see if I could get a cut and they accomodated me no problem. Everyone from the receptionist to the shampoo girl were very nice and professional, and my stylist, Bob, did a fantastic job on my hair, even though I gave him a rather vague idea of what I wanted. Plus he shared some great drying and styling tips that should make it easier to keep it looking nice. I think I won't be sticking it up in a ponytail/twist/bun nearly as often! 'Bout time I had a truly flattering cut!!!
Fifteen minutes with Richard is better than an hour with any other stylist! – It's not easy to get an appointment with him, but reschedule the delivery of your first born if necessary. Great colorist and works magic with problem hair. Good company, too!
Sleek salon with experienced colorists and stylists! – I have to say I was so impressed by the knowledge of the stylist doing my hair. I made an appointment after being referred to the salon by a friend. I was so happy with the results I've returned again and again.
I had been to another local salon prior to going to Coco and Buff and had a terrible color job that left my hair dry and brittle with an orange tint. The stylist immediately assured me that he could fix the color and restore my dry brittle hair. I was a little nervous but was quickly reassured by his confidence and knowledge of color and products. My hair turned out beautifully! Not only was the color vibrant and shiny my hair was soft and healthy looking. I couldn't believe how easy he made it seem. He also provided me with products to keep the color fresh and my hair healthy! What a relief to finally find a salon that not only knows how to give terrific cuts but clearly knows how the whole color process works!! I will continue to refer all my friends and family to Coco and Buff!
Awesome Salon Experience – I was recomended to the salon from a number of co-workers that have all had great experiences. So I decided to go to their website and check it out the price list and services offered. The reason I mention this is because the site is a great representation of the salon - it is sleek and up to date. After a little research I decided to make an appointment. From the time I walked through the door I would have to say that I was extremely impressed with the great service and freindly atmosphere. Now to my highlight and cut experience. I have been in many salons where the my stylist just asked what I wanted and said "ok" and off we went. What I liked about this salon was that they not only listened to what I wanted but also offered suggestions as to what they thought might look good. I decided to take their suggestion and what a difference it made. I have received so many compliments and for once my husband noticed my hair. I can't even tell you how good I felt. So thank you Coco and Buff you have me for life.
Best Salon – Excellent stylists and salon has been renovated and looks amazing. One of the best finds in Baltimore and has alot of talent to offer. Everyone should check it out.
Coco and Buff's Rocks – I got this great recommendation from a friend about 10 years ago to go see a specific stylist at Coco and Buff Salon and much to my excitement and satisfaction she is still cutting, hi-lighting and styling my hair. My hair always turns out exactly as I envision it prior to my stylist beginning. I'm also happy to say that everybody at the salon is fun and easy to get along with. They all help one another if the need arises and everyone from the receptionist to the shampoo girl has a smile on her face and goes out of her way to make sure that you are comfortable and well taken care of. Going to Coco and Buff Salon is always a very satisfying and relaxing way to ultimately end up beautiful. Try it... you owe it to yourself to have a little Coco and Buff!!!!
never go here! – I should have known from the location that this place was junk. Receptionist seemed friendly on the phone when I made the appointment, but looked at me in total shock when I arrived, as if I didn't have an appointment. The stylist, whom was supposed to do my hair, sat in her chair and said that she still had a hair cut to do. She acted like she wanted me to leave and said it would be 20 minutes until she could do my hair. Bad service all around. Avoid like the plague.

City of Hawley installs solar powered signsHawley, MN (WDAY TV) - The small city of Hawley is proving it's on the cutting edge of green energy.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
The small city of Hawley is proving it's on the cutting edge of green energy. The city has installed two solar powered welcome signs on the east and west sides of Highway 10. The LED lights shine at night using solar energy stored in batteries on the solar panels. Each hour, the lights use the same amount of energy as a 40 watt light bulb. The city says it's saving a thousand dollars a year with the environmentally friendly signs.
Lisa Jetvig – City of Hawley: "Well I think it's important to show that we're making an effort to be green and that we're looking at ways to really save the taxpayer's money to do good projects, being as economical as possible."
The two solar panels cost nearly $5,400.

Consumer News - Summer 2000
FDIC Consumer News - Summer 2000
|New Rules to Help Protect Your Financial Privacy
The FDIC and other federal regulators have issued new rules to inform consumers about their rights to financial privacy, including when and how they can prevent an institution from sharing personal information with other companies.
The rules will implement privacy-related sections of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. With that law and the new rules, the federal government is trying to strike a balance between the individual's desire for privacy and the benefits to consumers in general from the free flow of information. "Many in the financial industry argue that the unrestricted flow of data results in cost efficiencies, convenience, competition and innovation in financial services," says Deanna Caldwell of the FDIC's Division of Compliance and Consumer Affairs. "The new privacy rules give individuals a voice and a choice in this debate for the first time."
The new law requires financial institutions to explain their privacy policies to customers when accounts are opened and at least once a year thereafter. These written notices must clearly describe the financial institution's practices and policies about collecting and sharing "nonpublic personal information." For example, a typical disclosure might explain that your bank shares information about your account balance, payment history and credit card purchases with non-financial companies, such as retailers, direct marketers and publishers.
Of special importance is a provision of the law that gives consumers the right to block an institution's disclosure of private information to companies not affiliated with that institution. This process is known as "opting out." Under the new rules, even people who are not technically customers of a financial institutionsuch as former customers or people who applied for but didn't obtain a loan or credit cardwill have the right to opt out of information sharing with outside companies. This authority to opt out does not apply to all information sharing with outside firms. For example, the law allows the sharing of information with nonaffiliated third parties to market the institution's products, handle its data processing or mail account statements.
While the rule becomes effective November 13, 2000, compliance will be voluntary until July 1, 2001, primarily to give institutions extra time to prepare for the new privacy standards.
The rules were issued jointly by the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The National Credit Union Administration, the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission will have comparable rules for the institutions and companies they regulate that provide financial products or services. Under the FTC's rule, for example, credit bureaus are limited in their ability to sell nonpublic personal information to third parties such as direct mail and telemarketing companies.

LISBON - Citing issues with retaliation, failure to pay overtime compensation and a hostile work environment, former coroner employee Brian K. Fullum filed a second lawsuit this week against the Columbiana County Board of Commissioners, Columbiana County Auditor's Office and the Columbiana County Coroner's Office.
A previous lawsuit which named Coroner William Graham directly was dismissed last week by Judge C. Ashley Pike, who ruled Graham is an elected official, not a political subdivision. The complaint was filed against the coroner both professionally and personally, not the coroner's office. Therefore, Pike wrote Graham is presumptively entitled to protection under statutory immunity.
The new lawsuit names the three offices. Fullum contends he was asked to work more than 80 hours per week, but did not get paid any overtime.
He further claims when he consulted an attorney about his hours, his hours were cut and his hourly wage reduced. The work environment allegedly became so hostile, Fullum's doctor advised him not to return to work.
Fullum has asked for an excess of $25,000 for lost compensation, emotional distress and other damages, plus an excess of $25,000 in punitive damages.
Fullum's lawsuit is not the only one pending against the coroner's office. Susan Bennett, the coroner's former secretary, claims illegal retaliation by Graham after she brought up allegations of professional misconduct by him. An investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation into the misconduct allegations cleared Graham of wrongdoing.

I've tried iAtkos v7 and iDeneb v1.3... They both installed properly but after trying to boot for about 10 minutes I would get a Mac symbol with a 'not allowed' cursorbut it would still act like it was loading.. I didn't know how to fix my problem so I tried iDeneb which would give me an error as soon as I tried booting. Here's a picture:
Anyone have this same notebook and successfully installed Leopard onto it? Or can anyone point me to or tell me how to do it properly for my machine?
Do I need to get more information on my computer or do I have it all here?
Thanks in advance!

In preparation for ISAF Nations Cup in Middlefart, Denmark Aug 6-10th, the RCYC crew of Peter Wickwire - helm, Drew Sutherland - main, Hamish Matthew - trimmer, Ali Matthew - pit and Peter Dixon - bow, attended a two day Sally Barkow coached match racing clinic followed by a two day Grade 3 at Oakcliff Sailing Center in Long Island this past Thurs. - Sun. Oakcliff has a 10 boat fleet of Swedish Match 40s which closely resemble the DS37s to be sailed in Denmark next week.
Barkow, an Olympian, a multiple women's world match racing champion and multiple Rolex sailor of the year coached a very productive clinic focused on fine tuning teamwork, communication, timing and positioning. Thursday and Friday began with on shore briefings followed by long days on the water wrapping up with detailed video debriefs.
Saturday and Sunday saw 9 teams compete for the Oakcliff Summer Invitational Grade 3. In difficult and variable conditions on Saturday the team qualified for the semis and finals/petite finals to be sailed Sunday.
When it mattered most the team came together to come back in the semis and run the table winning its last five races on Sunday in convincing fashion to win the event.
The team would like to thank the RCYC members who are supporting us in our Nations Cup effort as well as the RCYC for its match racing program in the Sonars. Without RCYC's Sonar match racing program none of this would be possible.
If you would like to support Team Canada at Nations Cup next week please contact Mike Milner at RCYC for details.
Stay tuned for updates from Denmark starting next week.

text: Illinois Company to Contract More Low Lin Soybeans Consolidated Grain and Barge Company will contract Pioneer soybeans in 2007. Published on: Sep 25, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print In response to demand for healthier foods, Consolidated Grain and Barge Company (CGB) says it will work with the Bunge DuPont Biotech Alliance to contract and process Pioneer low linolenic soybeans. Initially, CGB will buy the low lin soybeans in northern and central Illinois, working with producers and local elevators there. Pioneer will offer several varieties for growers, all containing the Roundup Ready trait. Bunge will process the crop. Low lin soybeans are so named because they contain a linolenic acid profile of less than 3%, and have come into demand because they replace the use of trans fat-creating partial hydrogenation. Food industry demand for low lin soy oil is growing, and this expansion of Bunge Dupont's low lin contracting program comes after the Alliance announced a significant increase in contracted acres in eight Midwestern states. Growers participating in the CGB program will be asked to deliver the Pioneer beans to participating Illinois elevators, and can earn a 10 cent per bushel early signing bonus. They will also be eligible to receive rebates of up to 10% on certain DuPont Crop Protection products used on contracted soybeans. Growers interested in the CGB program can call 1-800-669-2437 or contact a Pioneer representative.

I played a private one-on-one match in Dota 2 with some guy who used cheats. I didn't use any (partly because I had no idea what "-wtf" did before that match).
I won by teleporting a lot. Still had no fun. Playing against a cheater is no fun. Winning against a cheater is no fun.
