BU Prof: PR Education Needs Work
September 27, 2007
We've already talked about how some PR people were all in a tizzy over the Princeton Review's decision to claim PR degrees "aren't necessary." Looking further into this topic, Strumpette recently spoke with Dr. Donald K. Wright, Professor of Public Relations in the College of Communication at Boston University. Recently recognized with the 2007 Distinguished Service Award by the elite Arthur W. Page Society, Dr. Wright talks about the awful state of PR education and what we can do to fix it:
Let's fact it, if public relations was excellent; if the faculty were highly qualified in both theory and practice; and, if the curriculum contained the kind of up-to-date, cutting-edge, state-of-the-art knowledge found in disciplines such as accounting, engineering, law medicine, nursing, and so forty; employers with entry-level positions would fight over public relations graduates in a manner similar to what happens in other occupations. And, it would be the exception rather than the rule to have graduates from other academic disciplines hired for entry-level positions in our field.
Dr. Wright is spot on, however what holds back some of these programs is that many PR skills can be learned through other areas of study. How many people do you work with have degrees not related to PR or communications?
Columbia's Statement on Ahmadinejad
September 24, 2007
The Columbia University Office of Communications and Public Affairs is getting a LOT of calls about the university's decision to invite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak on campus today. Emails are not being returned and their voice-mail system sends callers to a recorded statement including a quote from president Lee Bollinger.
Maybe I'm not the best typer, but the statement was read fast enough to make transcribing a challenge. Bollinger emphasized that a number of conditions had to be met in order for them to consider having him on campus, "first and foremost that President Ahmadinejad agree to divide his time evenly between delivering remarks and responding to audience questions." The full statement can be read here. You can also listen to the statement and additional updates by calling (212) 854-7328. Give us your take in the comments.
Forget Your Clients: Personal PR

It's a story we're all familiar with by now. Employer A wants to hire Prospect B. Employer A is about to an extend an offer before he/she finds photos on Myspace of Prospect B passed out in a pile of Milwaukee's Best cans at last year's Alumni Week. (Oopsies!)
Danah Boyd, a PhD candidate at the School of Information (iSchool) at the University of California – Berkeley and a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School, posted (via Huffpost) some useful tips on how to manage your online persona.

Princeton Review Isn't a Fan
September 7, 2007
Some people are upset, while others aren't by the career description for public relations on the Princeton Review website, which states, "Though some colleges offer a degree in public relations, most industry professionals agree it's unnecessary."
The entry goes on to describe the profession mostly as a writing job, which clearly it is not. Personally, we know many successful PR folk with a variety of degrees, some related to the industry, some not. What do you think? If your friend told you they wanted to major in PR, what would you say?

Hello All...Greetings from Bangkok,
My name is Pete, I have been gleaning information off this forum for a few months as I have been busy importing my Highlander into Thailand. I was able to meet a few of you at Sun and Fun this year. I purchased my plane (#172) from Lynn G (Central Florida Sport Air), who I can't say enough good things about! She really helped me so much in getting my plane to the intial shipping point, and letting me spend some time at her airfield before that.
My plane was packed into a container at Lakeland Airport by Neel Aviation. Those guys really know their job, since that is all they do....dismantle and ship aircraft overseas. They told me they have even had containers flip over, and the plane was undamaged. I believe them after seeing how they pack. After about a month and a half in transit, my plane arrived to the Bangkok port just as perfect as it was in Lakeland. The ship sailed from Savannah, through the Suez Canal to Malaysia, where it was then put on a smaller ship to Bangkok.
Luckily I was fortunate to get linked up with an experienced shipping lady here who knew everyone at the Port, and knew how to negoiate all the red tape involved. The plane was a big hit with the customs people when they opened the container. Everyone wanted a pic of "The Plane in the Container". Even the big boss had to come down to get his photo taken with it. After that was done it was trucked up to the airfield/aero club I am keeping the plane at. Once it was downloaded to the ground, we had it unloaded and in the hanger in no time.
After 2-3 days of putting the parts back together, and doing some other work on the airplane, I was able to finally at least start it up and taxi it around. Even that was a lot of fun after waiting so long to get it over here. The locals are all in awe of the plane, especially the HUGE tires. They can't wait to get a ride in it, and see it flying. I can't wait to make that happen either!
I have been knocking down the hurdles to get it inspected for an Airworthiness Cert and now I am just waiting on permission to take it on a test flight for finalization of the C of A. Then will come the registration. In the mean time have been having a lot of fun doing some upgrades and modifications on the plane.
This plane is going to be just perfect for Thailand. There are many great small strips in every corner of the country, and what better way to see such a wonderful country then with a Highlander! I hope to be able to add more pics once I get flying. Here are some pics thus far.
Thanks everyone for the great technical ideas and input here.

Hi all,
Let me introduce first:
I ended up buying a couple of WebDT 366 as I'm (quite a fervent) user of LinuxMCE. For this platform, a ubuntu based image is available to use the WebDT 366 as a sort of 'golden' remote control. Very nice actually.
I'm also having a sight problem, this means I'm generally looking for 'big' screens.
This lead me to thinking about using the WebDT 366 as an in-car navigation device. This would give me more screen real estate compared to my Tungsten T3 running TomTom or my wife's TomTom Go 630.
Now my question:
Taking into account the fact that TomTom Go is running on ARM using Linux, and that TT seems to be able to run on Win CE devices, can anyone give me some advise as to what is the best way to run navigation software on WebDT 366.
I'm open to ALL suggestions, so even if you have linux navigation running, please let me know.
Thanks for your help!

- SpaceX announced on Thursday night that it plans to launch "the world's first private passenger" around the moon.
- The rocket company, founded by Elon Musk, will name the person and release more details on Monday.
- However, a hint that Musk dropped may indicate the lunar voyager could be Japanese.
- The spacecraft will be the Big Falcon Rocket: a launch system for Mars described by Musk over the past two years.
- However, the design SpaceX shared on Monday is different from those Musk has shown.
SpaceX, the rocket company founded by Elon Musk, plans to launch a private citizen around the moon.
The company's announcement came Thursday night via Twitter, and it included a rendering of the spaceship that will make the voyage: the Big Falcon Rocket, or BFR.
"SpaceX has signed the world's first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard our BFR launch vehicle," the company said, adding that it will be "an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space."
SpaceX also said that it will name the passenger on Monday and explain why that person is making the trip.
However, it's not the first time the company has announced that it would launch a mission to fly around but not land on the moon.
SpaceX to the moon, 2.0
SpaceX previously announced a fly-around-the-moon mission in February 2017.
That plan aimed to launch two private citizens (who are still unnamed) on a path similar to the one taken by NASA's Apollo 13 astronauts. It also called for using the company's Falcon Heavy rocket— currently the most powerful operational launch system in the world — and its Crew Dragon capsule, which astronauts are gearing up to fly for the first time in early 2019.
But SpaceX appears to be deviating from that plan with one less passenger, whom Musk may have hinted is Japanese, and by using BFR, which is still being prototyped and is an as-yet-unproven spacecraft.
The BFR, as Musk described it during a 2017 presentation, calls for a 157-foot-tall spaceship that will ride a 191-foot-tall rocket booster into orbit.
Together, the 35-story system is intended to launch the first crewed missions to Mars— but SpaceX not only appears eager to demonstrate BFR's capabilities with the lunar demonstration mission, but roll out a new design of the spacecraft.
Musk confirmed the rendering SpaceX shared is a new version of the BFR. Though he gave no more details, the spaceship shown in the image appears to be more squat than the original design. It also has a large tail fin and two small wings, unlike previously shared graphics.
We'll update this post if we learn anything new about the mission prior to Monday.

London is often looked at around the world for fashion and style. The same can be said for interior design trends with many people looking to achieve the interior design styles found in the flats, apartments and houses of London. There are, however, no hard and fast rules on achieving the London look as this can mean many different things. All of which fall under the umbrella of London interior design. In this article, I will illustrate some of the current trends.
Darker tones, in particular black, are becoming more and more popular to create focal points in the room. These darker areas are generally off set with colors at the lighter end of the spectrum all the way down to white. When used together, a very stylish look can be achieved. I would try and stay away from using the colors to equally though as the focus of the darker elements in the room will be lost.
Oversize furniture is finally taking a back seat and people are realizing that less really is more and embracing as much space as they can in a room. A more minimal room gives the room a much greater feel of space which is something that almost everyone can benefit from, no matter what scale their rooms are.
Bold colors and bright patterns are something being predicted by all the major interior design gurus. Bold colours bring a focal point to the room and the bright patterns will bring cheer to anyone. Especially in those short winter days that are right around the corner.
One of the biggest trends of recent times is all-white furniture. The versatility of white makes it easy to implement few or singular pieces in any surrounding no matter what your furnishings or decoration. A white piece of furniture, again, can be a focal point of the room or a nice back drop to a display or ornament you wish to draw attention to.
The final and main point I am going to touch upon is practicality. It is one thing having a beautifully designed interior but if it is uncomfortable and unlivable then all that hard work has been undone. There is nothing less stylish than a room that you don't want to spend any time in which in the end is what this is all about.

of September today, (just in case you need the reminder).
It seems I am still focussing on keeping toes warm (mostly mine) and using up the yarn stash, even the bits that keep sneaking in.
Lithuanian colour work socks from 'Knitting Socks from around the World', (a present that has proved to be a wonderful resource). The navy yarn was an oppy find, a lovely soft wool crepe with no label and the aqua is from a knitting friends machine knit scraps, Bendigo Woollen mills classic 5 ply.
Purple wall socks are in The Great wall II pattern from Qianer of HiyaHiya, the yarn is a delicious 1950's vintage Patons Beehive 4 ply fingering.
The Neutral summer hat was made using the Drops design pattern 127-47 and while I really like it there is no way this one will fit on my head, so I think I just start on made a start on Christmas gifts.
Sure I finished my summer slippers last night just so I could count them today, not really but they were quick and a little addictive a perfect weekend project. They are super comfy and just the right weight I think for when the weather changes.
The Paws socks are that mystery which was seen here about a week ago, a plain pattern with some coloured embellishments, great for using leftovers of which there always seems to be some. Currently they are flying to their new home, all will be revealed shortly.
Hope your September was productive too.
Enjoy October.

The Swansea LLM degree was launched in 2000. It came of age in 2008, when leading global shipping law firm Ince & Co very generously instituted an annual prize for the student with the highest grade in the taught element of any of the Swansea LLM Programmes.
We are delighted to be able to say that Inces has always had a close and strong relationship with the Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law (IISTL) at Swansea; and that, in keeping with these close links binding us together, the Ince Prize is awarded for work that has a direct connection with that undertaken by the firm.
The winner of the Ince Prize for 2015/16 was Jorge Chávez Aréstegui, originally from Belgium and currently completing an LLM in International Maritime Law. Having attained an enviable straight run of distinctions in all subjects (Admiralty, Carriage, Charterparties and Marine Insurance), he has now received warm congratulations and a cheque for £1,000 from Paul Herring, Ince & Co's London Chairman.
From left to right: Professor Richard Williams (IISTL), Mr Jorge Chávez Aréstegui and Mr Paul Herring (Ince &Co)
The presentation ceremony was attended by a good number of Ince & Co partners and associates and Swansea academics, not to mention Jorge's family and friends. Speaking to those assembled, Mr Herring wished Jorge every success in future and went out of his way to commend Swansea's LLM programme, with its immensely successful mixture of academic rigour and practical orientation. In response, Professor Richard Williams emphasised the vital role played by the Ince Prize in motivating LLM students at Swansea; he then thanked Ince & Co heartily for their efforts in promoting further links between practice and academia.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz attacked Donald Trump over his reality-television career at the Republican presidential debate on Thursday.
Trump and Cruz have been attacking each other relentlessly for weeks as they fight for their party's presidential nomination.
"In 2013, when I was leading the fight against the 'Gang of 8' amnesty bill, where was Donald?" Cruz asked. "He was firing Dennis Rodman on 'Celebrity Apprentice.'"
Cruz also accused Trump of funding the Gang of 8 bill, which refers to the eight senators who championed a comprehensive immigration-reform bill in 2013. Cruz said that Trump gave over $50,000 to three Democrats and two Republicans in the group.
"When you're funding open-border politicians, you shouldn't be surprised when they fight for open borders," Cruz said.
Trump responded by attacking Cruz's lack of support in the Senate:
I can only say this, and I've said it loud and clear and I've said it for years: ... I've had an amazing relationship with politicians both Democrat, Republican, because I was a businessman. ... I got along with everybody. You get along with nobody. You don't have one Republican senator ... backing you. Not one. You don't have the endorsement of one Republican senator and you work with these people. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Cruz then pivoted to Trump's alleged history of hiring illegal immigrants. Critics have long accused Trump of exploiting Polish immigrants who entered the US illegally to help build Trump Tower some years ago.
"Anyone who really cared about illegal immigration wouldn't be hiring illegal immigrants," Cruz said.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy's murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy's boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.
So originally when this book had been pitched to me, I thought it was a dystopian. But it's not! Instead, it's an alternate universe where lupine syndrome is running rampant across America and this small town is getting more and more attacks by the week. And can I just say: THIS BOOK WAS KICK-ASS.
So most of the public doesn't like werewolves and this might be my favorite werewolf novel because people are afraid. Most people aren't fans of werewolves while others think it's only some that are evil while the others should be allowed to live their lives. There is this crazy extremist group that kills werewolves that comes into town and just makes the stakes so much higher and I love all the themes that went into the creation of the plot. Also: I loved Mac. She was funny and smart while still managing to be a relatable teenager in her inability to see what's right in front of her in a way that is not annoying, but endearing.
Peacock definitely knows how to write a mystery, that's for sure. You were constantly wondering: who was a wolf? who was the wolf? who can she trust? SO MANY THEORIES! She knows how to lay on the suspense and throw something crazy and amazing out of left-field, which I always admire in a writer.
Can I stay say the love triangle in this book is killer? Except it's not...really a love triangle in her point of view. There's two guys who like the same girl but that girl doesn't nessescarily like one of them back (this might change in the sequel but not in this first book). Jason was a hot mess, guys, but we all know we're softies for those at heart. He's been through a really hard time in his life, especially since most people blame him for Amy's death since they had just argued right before he was attacked but he was really just horribly angry at the world and started taking it out on other people. And KYLE! Eep, I loved him. He and Mac were steamy yet sweet and I love that they were a friendship that blossomed into something more. Plus the angst was well-done and not...over-done, which is something that is important to me.
Overall, I really recommend it!
Happy Reading!

Equality, through 33 per cent
Alliance of women's groups rallies to demand the passage of the women's reservation bill in Parliament
Hardnews Bureau Delhi
An alliance of more than 35 women organizations, called 33% Now, has come out demanding the passage of the Women's Reservation Bill in the last working session of the Parliament. Addressing the press conference at Indian Women Press Corps on February 6, the women groups said they were not ready to accept another setback on the historic bill.
"Women, comprising nearly 50 per cent of India's population, continue to be under-represented in all aspects of politics, including as elected representatives in the Parliament and Legislative Councils. The marginalization of women from politics is clear, as today only 10.9 per cent of the parliamentary seats are held by women," they said. "Women make up less than one per cent of ministers and four percent of the negotiators in major development processes."
While expressing concern regarding the uncertainties in the bill, which has been in the making since 1996, the group added the bill would not see the light of day if it wasn't passed in the last session of the current Parliament.
33% Now is an alliance of institutions working in the field of women's rights and social action. The goal of the alliance, which has been around since 2010, is to get the Women's Reservation Bill passed in the Lok Sabha.
Over the next two weeks, the organization plans to lobby with various political leaders, involve the youth through online campaigns and hold a dharna on February 12 at Jantar Mantar. The demand for action came from activists like Jagmati Sangwan of All-India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA); Shabnam Hashmi of Act Now for Harmony and Democracy (ANHAD); Ranjana Kumari, Director of Centre for Social Research; Annie Raja, General Secretary, National Federation of Indian Women; Shobha Ozha of All India Women Congress, and Rekha Mody, a social worker.
"All political parties need to come together and pass the bill," they said, adding "The members of the Lok Sabha need to follow the lead of Rajya Sabha, where the bill was passed in 2010."
The organizations called on political parties to take responsibility to ensure that women's rights, as outlined in the Constitution of India, are upheld. The demand for women's reservation bill is also being rallied through a strong online and mobile phone campaign, to connect the youth, particularly women. A number of partners have been brought together for the online advocacy engagement. There is a petition underway on Change.org for people to express solidarity for the demand. The online aspect of the campaign, generating a debate on the bill as an instrument of women representation and voice at the national level is called #ready2lead and builds on the existing #33percentNow.

Tuishi Pamoja
Date: 12th Jul 2016 @ 7:49pm
Well done to all the children in Classes Three and Four who performed in our production of 'Tuishi Pamoja', and African tale of friendship. We enjoyed their fantastic singing, as well as the dramatic dances and speaking performances.
An enormous thank you to Alex Davies, Anna Davies and Anna's grandma, as well as Miss Morris, who created such amazing faces for the animals, tribal people and spirit dancers - they really made it come alive. We are so grateful for the time they gave up to help us, and it was lovely to have them back in our Duddon 'family' again.
Wednesday - the performance tonight was tremendous, and worth all the hard work! The meerkats were very impressive, and Harriet is such a star dancer. The tribal dancers and monkeys were full of life, and very entertaining. Brilliant work everyone!

Tevez may leave England.
November 7, 2010 Leave a comment
Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez is not ruling out the possibility he could leave the Premier League as a result of his homesickness.
Speculation has been rife about Tevez's future after he confirmed he was not enjoying life in England due to his daughters living in Argentina, but Roberto Mancini said last month that, while the player missed his homeland and his family, he did not think there was a problem.
However, asked if he would leave the Premier League, Tevez told The People: "It is possible, but I don't have a fixed date."
The News of the World this weekend suggested City are ready to pay Tevez £250,000 a week to try to convince him to remain at Eastlands. Read more of this post

Family portraits are an exquisite way to capture your family at a certain point in time and history. For that reason, Penta has previously run articles on everything from how to pick a portrait painter ("Captured on Canvas," ) to an analysis of family portraits worth viewing before commissioning an artist ("The High Art of Family Portraits.")
To our portrait series, we make a new addition. Gracie Brahimy is a 2013 graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, a fine young photographer with a day job as an assistant at the art gallery CANADA in New York City. Penta commissioned Brahimy to visually capture successful families in their homes. Here she tells us about what the photographs reveal about family life.
The Coleman Family- This picture was taken at the Coleman family's second home in Woodstock, N.Y., where the family retire almost every weekend to play. The close-knit Colemans are preparing dinner, revealing both a moment of togetherness and the isolation that is experienced by individuals in the midst of family. While the mother reads over the recipe and enjoys a glass of wine, her son is pensively stirring a pot over the stove, family members working together but also lost in their own worlds.
The Awad Family - This portrait was taken in the Awad family's New York City apartment, as the family sits in an almost flawlessly elegant sitting room. Neatly hung sketches line the wall overhead; a coffee table is tidily heaped with tasteful art books. This so easily could have resulted in a stiff family portrait, with the carefully lined up rows of paintings, humans, and books suggesting a rigid and conformist family. But the family bursts with exuberant, lively energy, the roaring father the frame's jovial centerpiece. It is both a picture of the serious, secure order of family – and also its moments of spontaneous silliness.
The Stanton Family - Brother and sister sit side-by-side playing the piano, capturing the uniqueness of the sibling life. In many ways, siblings are your partners for life, at your side as you pass through childhood and adolescence, the person you can usually turn to during times of family trouble. The bonds of siblings are captured in the Stantons' serene features, close as can be as they focus on learning the notes together. But siblings can also be competitive with each other, and as this brother and sister play the piano in tandem, they are also competing subtly as to who is the most skilled.
The Plotz Family - It is in the kitchen of their Brooklyn brownstone that the Plotz family holds its intimate conversations and debates. This picture caught my eye because the grand and beautifully maintained architecture of the family home speaks loudest, particularly the dark wood paneling, and the sharp lines in the ceiling echoed in the hard edges of the marble countertop. I can't look at this scene without thinking about family legacies, stretching over generations, and the ongoing desire to preserve architectural and familial integrity over time.
The Dawson Family – This photograph of the Dawsons and their dogs exemplifies the role pets play in family life, providing individual members with a pure and honest relationship, while also strengthening the bonds between different members of the family "pack."

Churn rate is the percentage of customer who has cut ties with company or have discontinued their subscription in a given time period. These customers have "churned." For expansion, the growth rate has to be greater than the churn rate i.e. number of new customer should be more than those who left.
Also known as attrition rate depicts the contracting customer rate. It is important for a subscriber based business, to control the churn rate in order to know the customers that are transferred to another service provider. It can be used an indicator of customer dissatisfaction, better services or sales/marketing by competitors. It is closely related to customer average life time.
If the churn rate is 20%, the average customer life is 5 years. Churn rate can be minimized by creating barriers for switching. High switching cost, contract binding, and loyalty programs can be methods to do so. Another way to look at is the revenue churn. It is the ratio of monetary amount of revenue lost in a period that would have been recurring if the customer stayed to the total revenue.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Churn Rate along with its overview.

Graffiti Abatement
Graffiti is a community wide problem which degrades the neighborhood and makes people concerned about their safety and surroundings. Price Charities partners with Urban Corps, the City Heights Business Association and Project Clean to remove graffiti at no cost to property owners.
Quick reporting of graffiti by residents and business owners allows Urban Corps to remove graffiti along the business corridor during business hours. Project Clean and Price Charities work crews paint out graffiti during patrols of "hotspots." Enforcement of graffiti laws is a priority for the area police department. Monthly briefings keep stakeholders aware of the effort.
Following Price Charities' philosophy of leveraging community resources and solutions, funding for graffiti abatement comes from a variety of sources. Price Charities provided the funding for a pickup truck, paint and two maintenance staff working on a part-time basis. The City of San Diego provided funding for the creation of the Maintenance Assessment District operated by the City Heights Business Association. The Business Association finances maintenance services, subcontracting the work to Urban Corp. Project Clean is an all volunteer organization comprised of area residents.
To report graffiti for removal contact Jessie Tolentino at email@example.com or (619) 944-7365.
For further information about the program contact Matthew Hervey at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is the average length of therapy?
It depends on what sort of challenges you are facing and how often we decide to see each other. Many people choose to do more frequent therapy sessions (1-2 times per week) to get some relief initially, then spread them out as they are better equipped to work through their challenges on their own (decreasing to once or twice per month). When we meet, we'll make a plan together for how often we'll meet and what goals we want to achieve during that time. We'll use this plan to guide us in determing the length of your therapy.
Do you accept insurance?
I provide out of network services through your health insurance, your flexible spending account, or your health savings account. For each session, I give you a paper reciept that you can submit for reimbursement to your choice of above options. I do not submit insurance claims on your behalf. As insurance companies have the legal authority to request a significant amount of your personal information from my records and to limit our care options if I were to agree to handle your claims, I choose instead to keep the freedom to make choices about your care between us and to keep your information confidential.
What are the costs & payment options?
Payment is due at each session with credit or debit card, Flexible Spending Account debit or credit card, cash, or check. Typical of therapy rates in our area, counseling costs average $100 per hour. Court, reports, clinical summaries, letters of recommendation, case management collaboration with doctors/schools/agencies, and ongoing phone consultation are additional and not reimbursable to your insurance. At our intial contact, we can discuss the details of costs. Since I choose not to accept insurance, I offer a sliding scale fee for all services depending upon your financial needs.
What is your cancellation policy?
There is a 24 hour cancellation policy, and you will be responsible for the full session fee if your appointment is not cancelled within this time.
Our first appointment will be 75-90 minutes long. In the office, we'll have you fill out your Information Sheet. Together, we'll go over the Authorization for Services and I'll answer any questions you have about me or the therapy process. Then, I'll listen to your story. I want to know about what brought you in to therapy, ways you've tried to handle the challenges on your own, and your unique strengths. I'll ask some questions to help make sure I have a good understanding of the big picture from your perspective. Together, we'll discussed your diagnosis, therapy goals, and make a plan for your treatment.
What will my first appointment look like?
There are lots of times to check in to see if we're a good fit! I offer a free initial phone consultation so we can connect before any appointments to answer any questions you might have about me and my services. At the end of your intake appointment, we discuss our fit as part of planning your treatment. Then, check in at the end of every session to ensure that I'm on the same page as you. If at any point in time we decide that we're not a good fit, I will do my best to help you find another counselor who can meet your needs.
How do I know you're the right therapist for me?
I'll be with you every step of the way! That's why I have you fill out forms in the office with me and offer additional support like ongoing phone consultation. Also, if you would feel more comfortable, I encourage you to bring a partner, family member, or friend to join you in your therapy journey.
Do I have to do this by myself?
Nope. My first job as a therapist is to join you in your journey, not judge you. I approach you with compassion for the struggles you are facing now and admiration for the challenges you have overcome in the past. I seek to understand how some of your actions that usually are negatively labeled as "harmful" have in fact been helpful to you before. I believe in an open therapy relationship where we can discuss anything in the supportive environment that I provide to you.

LONDON (AP) — It's hard to imagine Robert Downey Jr. as the authoritarian type, but the actor says he played a stabilizing force amid the ever-growing cast of superheroes during the filming of "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
"I am an assistant den mother for him (director Joss Whedon) — we're more contemporaries," Downey said at the film's London premiere on Tuesday, where he was accompanied by others in the cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo.
"With some younger talent, they're very exuberant; I remember when I was that way. I kind of feel like I'm the assistant principal."
The 50-year-old Downey plays Iron Man in the film, the sequel to the 2012 blockbuster "Avengers" movie.
For Johansson, the screen reunion was "amazing."
"I mean first of all it's great to be able to share this experience with actors that are really friends of mine and it feels like we're all in it together," said the actress, who plays "Black Widow." "We're all a part of something that has this huge fan base, this built-in excitement and it's not always like that."
New this time are Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, respectively.
"They've already done the work of establishing a fan base," smiled Olsen, "so I feel like I've snuck in."
This is Whedon's last "Avengers" movie — at least for now. He'll hand over the reins of the franchise to "Captain America: Winter Soldier" directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo for the two-part "Avengers: Infinity War," due out in 2018 and 2019.
The director admits he has mixed feelings about saying goodbye.
"Yeah it's sort of like sending your kid off to college, it's like wow, they really don't need me anymore, do they?" he said, pretending to sob. "At the same time it's like, 'My kid's gone, party all night!' You know, I'm going to pick my actual kids up from school, I'm going to read books, it's going to get crazy."
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is set to open in U.S. theatres on May 1, but it's opening in other countries earlier.

1:50 Wolverhampton Winning Race Tips (26th March) UNIBET OFFER DAILY JOCKEY/TRAINER SPECIALS HANDICAP
1— Master Of Disguise usually likes to track the leaders and actually is my top rated but is being ridden by an apprentice who has only had seven rides all for this stable but had no winners which on its own wouldn't put me off completely but the trainer hasn't had a winner since last September from forty runners so those two negatives together put me off and I've added seven pounds to its rating so slips down to second top rated.
2— Qatar Princess can either track the leaders or be held up and comes out second on my ratings but when I add the extra weight to the top weight this now becomes the top rated and therefore my selection.
3— Lazy Sioux can be held up or sit just behind the pace makers and comes out fifth on my ratings and has the widest draw to overcome as well.
4— Fleeting Indian isn't in my top five and may find this trip too short to show its best but has had twelve all weather races plus ten on the grass so twenty two in total but this six year old is still a maiden.
5— Forceful Beacon has only ever had ten runs which isn't many for a five year old but it is still a maiden but its best result was when second over this course and distance two tuns ago but that only puts it third on my figures so could make the frame and can track the leaders or be held up.
6— Lizzy's Dream was out of form last year and its one recent run does not bolster confidence and its best time doesn't get it into my top five so quite easily overlooked.
7— Bond Blade can be held up or track the leaders and is my fourth top rated but may really need a slower surface to show its best form so its not for me here.
8— Auntie Dif has only had four runs and all of that form was poor so would need to improve beyond all realms of reasoning to win this so easily dismissed from my calculations.
SUMMARY: I'm going with QATAR PRINCESS 14/1 as the selection the only concern I've got is about whats going to lead as there's no known front runners but I think this horse is capable of winning even if it does become a tactical race.
7:15 Chelmsford - Only seven runners so no each way bets but with three horses in the race that have been known to lead before hopefully it will be a fast early pace which will play into the selections hands as it likes to come fast and late when the others have cried enough, I quite expect Gung Ho Jack to try to lead from stall three and is my third top rated but only from times at this relatively new course, second top rated is Amenable who likes to either track the leaders or be held up whilst my top rated again is INVIGILATOR 7/2 second favourite and this one really needs a fast pace to aim at and if those in front slow the pace down so they have reserved some energy for the finish it could spoil the selections chances.
Qatar Princess 14/1 2nd
Invigilator 7/2 3rd

core-rewriter 2.2.232
Rewrites javascript to the correct domain.
The rewrite js function ensures that all javascript points to the correct domain - rewriting anything from a regular desktop link to a modified link. For example, the domain example.com will be rewritten as m.example.com on a mobile site in the javascript.
Rewrites links to point to the correct domain.
The rewrite link function takes links on the regular site and rewrites them to modified links. On a mobile site, you do not want the links to point to the desktop site. This function fixes that. For most projects, link rewriting is done automatically via the "rewrite_links()" function found in html.ts. In the example below, we rewrite the links with the class "internal" so that they remain on the Moovweb site.
$(".//a[@class='internal']") { attribute("href") { value() { rewrite_link() } } } rewrite_link()
Rewrites all the links in the pages so that the proxy isn't escaped.
rewrite_links() function will rewrite all links on the page so that the host of the resultant link is still the
project's host, not the source host.
$("/html") { rewrite_links() }
Rewrites the meta refreshes on the page.
rewrite_meta_refresh will rewrite the meta refreshes on the page so that the host of the redirection url is
still the project's host, not the source host.
rewrite_meta_refresh() # in any XMLNode scope
Unproxies the specified attribute of the scoped XMLNode.
unproxy function will turn the specified attributes value into an absolute path if needed, resulting in
the asset not being proxied. It takes into account the nuanced interactions of the base tag, meaning you won't
have to worry about it.
The example below will unproxy the src attribute of the first node with one.
$("(//*[@src])[1]") { unproxy("src") }
Unproxies the src attribute of XMLNodes the parameter selects.
unproxy_srcs function is a wrapper for the unproxy function. It will use the passed XPath selector
and call unproxy on the src attribute of all nodes that match. The net result is that all src attributes
it touches will be correctly unproxied, taking into account the nuanced interactions of the base tag, should
it exist.
The example below will unproxy the src attribute of every img and script that has a src attribute.
$("/html") { unproxy_srcs("//img|//script[@src]") }

I came across this problem earlier today, and I realized that it isn't clear how to delete a team project. It is, however, really easy.
All you have to do is open the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2012" (located in Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 > Visual Studio Tools) and type the following command (assuming you have the server mapped in Visual Studio).
TfsDeleteProject /force /collection:https://ID.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection PROJECT
Replacing the word "ID" with whatever your TFS Online ID is, and "PROJECT" with the name of the team project that you wish to delete.

Husband is the first to admit that I am insane. He deals with the paranoia, depression, anxiety, and general craziness with the fortitude of a man who has faced the fires of Hell and its minions and has never batted an eye. There is nothing he can't handle, from my crying jags to my insane insistance that the people across the street have used cake in order lure in people who they then kill in bathtubs of coleslaw. But last night, even he was unable to deal with this new form of insanity.
For it was not I that was mad.
Oh no.
The culprit this time is our new kitten. For a week she had been a sweet, rational thing made of gray fluff and four paws.
Last night changed all that.
I went to bed, as usual, with the laptop so I could finish up what I was working on in the comfort of my bed. Instead of crawling up next to me and passing out as she's done for the past week, Cinder decided that there was something WRONG.
I was approached by a ball of fur and fury unlike anything I had ever witness. She had her back arched and her tail poofed like a bottle brush, and every movement was a threat. Every sidestepping turn and she was staring at me like I was the shower monster, about to come spray her down with water and kitty shame. I was going to eat her, and she was going to take my ass down.
Sitting in bed, I watched as she leapt over throw pillows and curled in boxes, all in order to plan her attacks. And what exactly did these attacks amount to? Slightly more vicious versions of "OMG, you have TOES!". I was unimpressed.
So she decided to start threatening me by staring at the walls for inordinate amounts of time, and then turning and sprinting out of the room at the highest possible speed, making a noise similar to that of a rhinocerous with a broken leg falling down the steps while running down into the first floor of the house. She then returned, making this a lap of sorts. I swear, she lapped the house a total of 1, 433 times before returning to my room and arching her back again.
Now it was time to avoid the air vent. The air vent is apparently more evil than I am, because she would smoosh into the corner between the bed and the wall where I was and stare at the air vent in the floor, skittering around it like she would drop into New Jersey or the seventh level of Dante's Hell if she stepped on the metal grating. I finally just shook my head and turned off the light to go to sleep.
Reluctant, and obviously exhausted from two hours of kitten rampage, she decided to begrudgingly settle down on the bed with me. Not near my hands nor my vicious maw, mind you, but on the bed. In the morning, she was gone, like an assassin in the night. Or that guy I picked up at a Seven 11 the other week.
Anyway, I have come up with a theory as to why the kitten decided to go absolutely batshit nuts. It's actually quite simple. She's just as crazy as me. I adopted a cat just like me, just as they say people marry people who remind them of themselves. The one I picked waited for me to fall in love with her, and then showed her true colors. Insanity. Kitten insanity.
I wonder if they make kitty Thorazine.

Some Place in Ohio
The Liddle Family Website
This past weekend was the Ohio LInux Fest held at the Columbus Convention Center. I enjoyed attending it. I got to meet some new people and also see people I have met at the 10 previous events. The talks I went to were good. I thought Mark Spencer's morning keynote about Astrisk was inspiring. The IPV6 trobleshooting talk gave me a better understanding of the "unknowns" of IPV6 on the local network compared to familiar IPV4. I also got to visit with people I met from previous years as well as meet new people.
School has started in Ohio. I think the boys were glad to go back even if they said they weren't. Our school distirct's first day of school was really foggy. They delayed school for 2 hours and then around 8:30am they decided to close it. This is something that NEVER happened when I was their age (closing school because of fog). The ironic part about it is thst since they were doing a staggard start this year, the boys weren't scheduled to go that day.
The All Ohio Balloon Fest is going to start this week. This year they are also having a paid music event on Thursday. The balloonfest is affordable in price and usually is a fun experience. There is food available along with activities to keep the kids busy. The Darth Vader balloon is a neat one to see. If your heading to the balloonfest, you want to pack your favorite lawnchair.
The summer is winding down, soon there will be the hum of tractors and combines harvesting corn and soybeans in the fields by the house. Today we saw a plane spraying the corn fields by the house. That was pretty neat to watch. From a distance the plane would disappear below the treeline to re-emerge in a different spot heading above the treeline.
I decided to move my website over to drupal 7 on my paid webhosting account. I have decided not to move all the content over to the new site. This will give me a chance to "start over" and utilize some other technology to present photos. I decided to use gallery to handle my photos. It is a seperate web app that is designed for photographs. I will how ever still include pictures in some of my posts which will orginate from this site.
I hope you like it!

"The process of de-humanization is a three-phase cycle. First, this process involves defining a group of people (or an individual) as lacking any semblance of worthiness to, any similarity and any connection whatsoever with what was or is for the moment defined as "civilized," based on emotion and self-serving rationalization. Second, it entails following up with action and/or policy based on the previous definition. Third, it seeks to justify the first two phases with more self-serving rationalization."

J & I have been totally taking advantage of his extra long paternity leave and this warm summer on Cape Breton Island. We realize that this is the only full summer we both will be off and are soaking every bit of it up. Willow falls asleep to the sounds of the ocean pretty much everyday and she doesn't even realize how lucky she is! I am shocked that J & aren't ready to punch each other out as we spend seriously 24/7 together.But when we spend our days relaxing what is there to be upset about? What a change from this past winter where I was counting down the days he would be back home and in my arms. If we can spend as much time together as we do and still enjoy eachothers company I think we are a pretty great match :)
Here are some beach pictures of my little family and our sweet friends from this past week :)

Rising stars Lewis Blackstock and Patrick Rosney will be firmly aiming for a podium position in the two Sidecar Races at the 2018 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy, with the Blackburn duo lining up as team mates to John Holden and Lee Cain in the Silicone Engineering Team.
Blackstock, 26, and Rosney, 23, will be part of an expanded Silicone Engineering set up in June with the paring set to pilot Holden's TT winning LRC Honda, a switch from the Suzuki power unit they used in 2017.
Having made their debut on the Mountain Course in 2016, Blackstock and Rosney immediately impressed as they finished in 14th place in both of the three lap races to earn themselves two bronze replicas. They also recorded a best lap of 107.137mph around the 37.73 mile course and only narrowly missed out on the best newcomer's award.
Continuing with their LCR Suzuki in 2017, the duo encountered problems on the opening lap of the first race and were running in last position but they spiritedly continued and, aided by a lap of 109.274mph, finished in 26th place. However, the second race of the week saw them break the 110mph barrier for the first time as they recorded their best TT finish to date, briefly occupying third place half way through the race.
They increased their best lap to 110.599mph thus joining the very select group of three wheel crews to lap the Mountain Course in excess of 110mph and although the final lap saw them slip back fourth, it more than proved their potential and has earmarked them as podium contenders in 2018 where there'll form a formidable looking line up alongside Holden and Cain.
As well as the TT, Blackstock and Rosney are set to compete at the Southern 100 for the first time later this year while they will also contest the World Sidecar Championship having done so for the first time in 2017.
Lewis Blackstock said: "We've learned so much in our first two TT's and I felt that we were really beginning to push on in 2017. Teaming up with Silicone Engineering can only help us make the TT podium this year and we'll be giving it everything we've got to really get in among the front runners."

Regular readers of this blog will know I'm a keen cyclist. While I'm not exactly the fastest thing on two wheels, and I would describe my passion using the phrase "lifestyle and leisure" as opposed to "sportive," I still like to add up the miles and will think nothing of pushing my way north of 50 miles on a weekend ride.
Now that the summer months are with us, I aim to be in the saddle as much as possible and (with the good intentions formed on a sunny morning) have set a goal of cycling more than 500 miles in the month of July.
Five hundred miles might seem like quite a ride (it's approximately the distance between London and Berlin as the crow flies) but if you break it down, it's not so difficult.
To reach this goal I simply need to cycle 20 miles over 25 days (giving me six days off). Sounds easy – right?
Breaking this down even further, I can extend my commute into the office from a 15-minute, three-mile route to a more scenic 50-minute, 10-mile cycle along the beach (I live by the coast), making this challenge even more pleasurable. This means I can hit my target without too much impact on my daily schedule around work and family.
So what's this got to do with email marketing?
My clients tell me that one of the biggest challenges they face is finding the time to create compelling content for the email, social media and wider content marketing campaigns.
Content creation eats up a whole lot of time, and when you factor in everything else you have to do to run a business or marketing department – it can sometimes seem an impossible task.
But it doesn't have to be this difficult. I tell clients not to look at content as an unsurmountable peak. Instead, they should break it down into bite-size chunks, which makes the challenge look so much more achievable (just like the 500-mile bike ride).
For example, I would never attempt to just sit down and write a lengthy white paper or eBook. There are too many distractions in the working day to contemplate writing several thousand words in a couple of sittings. Instead, I set a goal of just 250 words per day. Sometimes I crush this target. At other times, it can be more difficult. But the main thing is, it is achievable, and therefore I have a better understanding of how long a campaign will take to build, and I can set expectations accordingly.
By setting achievable content creation goals, you will not only produce more quality content on time, you'll be able to build more strategic campaigns, targeted specifically at your audience and your organization's needs.

Update on the proposed EU Data Protection Legislation – February 2014
The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers have now all drafted different versions of the proposed data protection regulation.
Europe's Justice and Home Affairs ministers failed to reach an agreement on the draft legislation at their Council meeting in December 2013.
The Greek government has taken the chair of the Presidency of the EU Council and hopes to thrash out an agreement on the wording of the new legislation by summer 2014. If this happens it is possible that the new regulations could be agreed in 2014 and become law in 2017.
What impact will these changes have on your business? See http://www.electricmarketing.co.uk/EUdata.html

So far so good today. I don't have an urge to smoke. Unlike previous quits, I don't view this as time to stop working. This is my new routine--daily commitment not to smoke, check in here, and try my best to live a healthy life.
For this gift (not rushing to get it over with and move on) I am grateful. I'm finally facing my addiction and the promised relief is coming. I'm not home yet but I'm on my way each day's progress motivates me to continue.
