The Marketing Automation Space is Hotting Up
As anyone in the marketing automation sector will have seen, Pardot has been acquired by ExactTarget for $95m, which represents a superb exit for David Cummings and the Pardot team, who got to that exit with no significant external funding. Whilst it doesn't appear to be immediately a great fit, as ExactTarget focus on mid-to-large B2C clients, and Pardot target small-to-mid B2B clients, Cummings says there is a perfect match when it comes to culture. It is a clear statement of ExactTarget's intent to move into the B2B arena, just as many are seeing the larger B2B players (eg Eloqua and Marketo) up their game on the B2C side.
Largely missed by other reports was ExactTarget's simultaneous acquisition of iGoDigital for around $21m, a personalisation platform for eCommerce which use predictive analytics to recommend the best product recommendations to each user on every channel, competing directly with Baynote and Certona. This move mirrors that of Emailvision (a $100m+ multi-channel marketing provider, which bought SmartFocus last year) which purchased predictive analytics technology PredictiveIntent last week, as well.
The moves represent a growing trend of 'marketing operating systems' (whether they be called Marketing Automation or Campaign Management) introducing real-time predictive capabilities to provide intelligence to their operational platforms. According to Forrester, behavioral personalization is the biggest concern in marketing, where optimising the customer experience and relevance of communications at scale is moving beyond the capabilities of traditional rules-based systems. Significant additional investment is required to transform these product recommendation platforms into true real-time decision management, powering both relevant offers and targeted content, which represents a serious big data challenge. Fortunately for those interested in getting a head start, idio has been building a real-time decisioning platform for marketing for the last 6 years, which handles the one-to-one personalisation of all customer communications… but we don't like to blow our own trumpet.
In many ways these recent acquisitions are repeating the history of CRM. In the early 2000′s the maturing CRM market saw the opportunity of adding real-time predictive intelligence to their suites to help the sales organisation better handle the customer experience. Several members of the idio team came from KiQ, the decisioning engine that produced great success in the call centre operations of major banks and telcos, and was acquired by Chordiant, then subsequently Pegasystems. Back then, KiQ provided a layer of intelligence to enable CRM systems to recommend the "Next Best Action" within contact centre's and online environments. There are many parallels to draw as the new generation of marketing operating systems are starting to look more closely at "Next Best Content".
There are still a couple of large players in the marketing automation/campaign management space with no decisioning capability. So we expect to see further consolidation and strategic partnerships as vendors respond to the emerging market need: powering personalized communications – in marketing as well as in sales – at a huge scale.
Watch this space.

Consider This: The color stupid
By NAOMI RAGEN
06/28/2012 15:05
The election of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsy to the presidency of Egypt should have elicited a worldwide shudder of outrage in all peace- and freedom-loving people.
Mohamed Morsy gives victory speech on Egyptian TV
Photo: REUTERS
Literature, it seems, is always foremost as a tool in ideological wars. I think of Nazi book burnings and the banning of everything, including the Bible, in Saudi Arabia. I think of my own war with ultra-Orthodox extremists who want to take my books off the shelves because they don't promote the haredi self-image of a holier-than- thou society. And I have to mention
The Color Purple
author Alice Walker's recent decision to ban her own book from being translated into Hebrew as part of her support for the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, which was launched in "peace-loving" Ramallah in April 2004 and is adamantly opposed to peace or cultural exchanges.
Walker once famously wrote on her blog: "Jesus, a Palestinian, is still being crucified," and told interviewer Jesse Rosenfeld that "[Israeli] settlers are the [Klu Klux] Klan." She was also quoted in The Guardian as saying: "Israel is as frightening to many of us as Germany used to be." The latter was part of her "Why I'm joining the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza."
She never did join the flotilla. And I never did read her book, in any language, but I saw the movie. As I recall, it was all about black men abusing black women, raping their daughters, etc. I'm so happy that this great feminist has decided to channel the fame she's earned from her strong message into supporting a society in which women are routinely beaten, raped and murdered in honor killings.
Unfortunately, this Pulitzer Prize-winning author is not alone in her delusions. A surprising number of respected writers and journalists are feeding similar delusions and misinformation to millions of people.
What all these hate-promoters seem to have in common is their blatant selectiveness in ignoring the history and crimes of the terrorists with whom they loudly align themselves.
Take the election of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsy to the presidency of Egypt, something which should have elicited a world-wide shudder of outrage in all peace- and freedom-loving people.
Instead, we got this from David D. Kirkpatrick of The New York Times: "After 84 years as a secret society struggling in prisons and shadows of monarchs and dictators, the Brotherhood is now closer than ever to its stated goal of building an Islamist democracy in Egypt."
Oh my, what a heart grabber! I mean, if I didn't know anything about the Muslim Brotherhood, I might have thought after reading this that they were founded by Mother Teresa's brother. They want a "Muslim democracy"? Could have fooled me.
Founded by Hassan al-Banna in 1928, to promote the implementation of Shari'a (Islamic law), the Brotherhood developed close ties to the Nazis, supporting the terrorist activities of Haj Amin el-Husseini in what was then British Mandate Palestine. Its "charitable activities" included disseminating
Mein Kampf
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
. After a number of bombings and assassination attempts, 32 Muslim Brotherhood leaders were arrested in 1948 by the Egyptian authorities and by then-prime minister Mahmud Fahmi Nokrashi, who made the mistake of releasing them. Soon after, he was assassinated by a Brotherhood member. But when the Brotherhood tried to kill president Gamal Abdul Nasser in 1954, it seriously overplayed its hand. The organization was outlawed, its members imprisoned and punished, withering away where they could do no harm, behind lock and key.
Anwar Sadat, the peacemaker, who released many Brotherhood members from Egyptian jails, was murdered in 1979 for visiting Israel and signing a peace agreement. While the Brotherhood didn't take credit for the killing, it was certainly in favor of it. Under Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood spread its influence throughout the country, making use of the political system to put up candidates for Parliament. In 2000, 15 of its candidates were elected. What agenda did they adopt? Fighting displays of un-Islamic cultural diversity, including beauty contests and literature, which in their view promoted blasphemy and unacceptable sexual practices.
According to Raymond Ibrahim, writing on the blog of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Morsy himself ran a frightening campaign based on religious extremism and intimidation. A cleric surrounded by Brotherhood Morsy supporters quoted the Koran saying that all those who didn't vote for Morsy were "resisters of the Shari'a of Allah," and "infidel leaders" whom true Muslims must "fight" and subjugate.
Morsy himself is credited with saying he would "achieve the Islamic conquest of Egypt for the second time and make all Christians convert to Islam or pay the jizya [the infidel tax]."
A brochure written by the deputy to the supreme guide, Khairat el-Shater, addressed to all the Brotherhood branches and which carried the logos of both the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, called on Muslims to cheat, block votes, and "resort to any method that can change the vote" to ensure that Morsy would win.
Surprise! He won.
But this doesn't worry Kirkpatrick, who wrote of the Brotherhood: "They are committed to democratic elections and the peaceful rotation of political power, which usually means moving to the middle."
reporter also conveyed this reaction from that epicenter of liberal delusion these days, the White House: "The Obama administration, expressing relief on Sunday that the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate will be Egypt's next president, voiced cautious optimism that the choice could keep the country's rocky transition to democracy on track."
As for me, Morsy's victory sent my mind racing back in time to 1977. I was a young writer back then and a wannabe journalist who somehow finagled a press pass from the Government Press Office in Beit Agron with a letter of authorization from the
Intermountain Jewish News
of Denver, Colorado. for which I wrote a weekly "View from Jerusalem" column.
And so, in November 1977, I found myself in a red leather coat (which at the time I thought was amazingly cool), walking down through the barriers to a dazzling press center that had been set up to handle the world-wide coverage of the Begin-Sadat press conference.
The following exchange, more or less, is etched in my memory: "President Sadat," an Israeli journalist asked, "we have seen the photos of Egyptians rejoicing at your initiative to make peace with Israel. But if something happens to you, couldn't these same crowds just as easily turn against such a peace? And by then, we'll have given back all of Sinai. How can we in Israel trust that won't happen?" "The people of Egypt," answered Sadat, "want this peace agreement. I am expressing the wishes of my people in coming here. It doesn't matter who the leader of Egypt will be."
After the revolution in Tahrir Square sparked by the freedom of expression afforded by Facebook, Twitter and the Internet in general, it seemed as though we were all seeing the genuine expression of the will of the people of Egypt demanding less government bureaucracy, corruption and oppression and more freedom to pursue a better life for themselves and their children.
But as in George Orwell's
Animal Farm
, this public expression of private longings for better jobs, education, housing and food has been hijacked by the pigs of the Muslim Brotherhood. The sane half of the Egyptian public that voted against Morsy has my sympathy. I mourn with them even as
The New York Times
, the Obama administration, Alice Walker and her ilk have joined hands and are dancing a hora of celebration with the murderous Muslim Brotherhood. We will all pay the price for their stupidity.

Academic Experience: The professors here are straight to business, no fooling around. They are all very motivating and easy to work with.
Facilities: A great warm working environment. Very organized.
Tuition & Financial Aid: The tuition seems steep, but I feel I'm getting my moneys worth.
Academic Experience: Best teacher I've had and she really cares.
Campus Resources: The school is clean and the classes are a good size
Student Body: The students are great, especially the ones in my class it's been 3 months now and I feel like almost everyone in my class are my friends. We all go to the breakroom together during breaks, we have study groups, we let them know whats going on in the class if your not there that day.
Academic Experience: I'm currently studying to be a Vet Tech. it is a lot of work. The curriculum is somewhat hard but if you study well enough it's worth it, plus it's stuff you have to know. Facilities are nice although it would be better if there was more hands on with animals, but because this building is more industrial there are no animals in the building, also a cafeteria would be nice because all the restaurants are a few miles away.
Online Courses: I've never done online courses, but I don't think I'd like them, you don't get the same quality online as you would in a classroom.
Campus Resources: My school has a friendly staff, tutoring, it's private, everyone is helpful.
Campus Resources: It's a building that looks like a business building, it's private and in a decent location.
Academic Flexibility: The reason I chose this school is because they have the only vet tech program available to get a degree in, in 18 months.
Academic Experience: Like I have said I haven't started my classes yet but I did get the opportunity to meet with the teacher. She was very detailed about exactly what we do in the class that way if someone didn't like something, they weren't picking a student that can't handle a certain something for example dissecting a cat can make someone extremely squeamish and possibly have an unsettled stomach and we all know what happens after that. She was very nice and had a lot of information to give. I love the fact that the tuition includes the books and scrubs and whatever else I need for this program.
Tuition & Financial Aid: The Education is worth the money I have to pay. I just wish it was a smaller minimum payment each month only because I'm barely making it at home with 2 jobs, and still not enough money to afford my car payment, car insurance, cell, rent, food, clothes.. etc. If I had a better job at the moment having 40 hours a week with a decent pay rate, it'd be no problem. I wouldn't be struggling as much as I am right now.
Career Services: At Platt College- Riverside they have told me that because they are still new they haven't had any graduates yet. They said it's a 40% rate that graduate, only because no one has graduated yet.

Backpacking in the rain conjures up images of wet, soggy gear, nowhere to sit down and slogging along muddy trails while never snapping a single photo – don't let this be his first camping experience. But a DAY hike in the rain with The North Face Zipline Rain Jacket for Boys means splashing happily along misty fresh green trails, catching tree drips on your tongue, and stopping in a shelter for a lunch break – that's what will get him hooked on the outdoors for life.
Waterproof and breathable, the kids' Zipline Jacket is made with 2-layer HyVent shell fabric to block out wind and rain, and lined with polyester mesh for a pleasant, dry feeling inside whether he's wearing it over a T-shirt or over a midweight fleece jacket. Elastic cuffs and an adjustable hood help seal out the elements while a brushed collar and chin guard are soft against his skin.
At under 10 ounces, there's no reason to leave The North Face Boys' Zipline Rain Jacket at home, he'll barely even notice it in his day pack whether he's off to catch the bus to school or he's leading the way to the summit before an afternoon thunderstorm rolls in.

Good Jacket
June 15, 2012
I just received it not that many weeks ago.It is for my son. He is tall for his age, but the size I bought was appropriate, but seemed snug. Overall a good quality jacket. I wish I would have gone up a size up, but that would be my only caution when buying this jacket. It has worked great, but like I said he will size out really soon,
Pros: Great design, Build qualityNovember 26, 2013
I bought this as a gift for my sister and she absolutely loved it! i have one as well and we both agree that this is a great quality jacket that will never let us down! thanks altrec!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueThis is a very good product.
October 09, 2012
Shipping too fast, the clothes, the color is very nice. Actually smaller than the picture is bright red. Yeah my height 50.3 in, which is very good. Cheaper price and good performance. But the retail portion of the band to be adjusted a little disadvantage. The colors are very nice.Bright red.Year looks bright. I'd like to recommend this product to a lot of people.
Pros: Great design, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: Low performanceLove the jacket!!!!
September 07, 2010
The perfect rain jacket.
great rain jacket
October 25, 2012
Our son loves the color and fit of the jacket. The fabric appears to be breathable. The workmanship appears to be top notch. Our son has not yet tried the jacket in the rain, though.
March 20, 2011
Excellent waterproof rain jacket! The Northface never disappoints. I'm actually a S/M size in women's but I got the jacket in L in boys'. It's my second waterproof/rain jacket and probably my 7th or 8th The Northface jacket/outerwear.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great valueGreat jacket
May 15, 2011
My son loves this jacket. This is his second. He handed down his size XS (still in great condition) to his 5 year old little sister after 2 solid years of wear and he went up to the next size and chose a different color. He's happy and so is his little sister. Win/win! He's 7 years old. Tall but thin and he should get 2 years out of the size small as well. Great light weight jacket that we primarily use for rainy days.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Ease of useGreat rain jacket
July 04, 2011
This is a great wind and rain proof jacket. My son wore it on a seven day Boy Scout canoe trip in June, and it was perfect for warm weather adventures. He stayed absolutely dry in this jacket. The olive color blends well with Boy Scout uniform colors. It is light weight, comfortable, and durable. Wrinkle proof enough to be thrown in a dry bag and worn again looking like new. Washes well, too. A great buy!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, wind and water proofVery nice Jacket
May 11, 2010
This is a rain jacket that even my 13 year old son would wear. Cool design. Very durable and well made. Good for school and out in the backcountry.
Quality for a great price
July 26, 2012
I got this jacket on the sale price, and for the money, it is has awesome quality and style. The only drawback is there aren't any reflective surfaces so may not be visible at night.
Pros: Build quality, Great value, Cons: no reflectorthis jacket sucks
September 11, 2010
I just purchased three of these jackets for all three of my kids....the very first time they wore them they all got wet...all three kids were wet under there jackets!!! please don't waste your money on these jackets like I did. I read everything I could about them and thought I was purchasing a great kids rain jacket...I was very wrong. We live on the west coast and need good rain gear...this is not it...
October 04, 2010
I bought this for my 7 year old son. i had a hard time find one with a mesh liner which this one has.
September 23, 2010
Good reasonably priced rain coat for kids. Would definitely recommend.
Pros: Build quality, Great valueNorth Face Boys' Zipline Rain Jacket
June 20, 2010
Love it! I bought 2, one for my teen son and one for me! I bought an XL kid's jacket for myself, and it fits great. I'm usually a Women's small or medium. The only thing is the sleeves are a bit short for me. Great jacket! Perfect for our Northwest springtime! I'm very happy, and so is my son!
It's quite good
November 07, 2010
It's a bit smaller. Yes it's waterproof in light rain but don't expect to be waterproof in heavy rain. Good quality but their is no tag to write the owner details.

The rules state that they must remain on display after judging for the entire length of the fair (which is 12 days long) or I forfeit all ribbons and prize money. I hate to see them waste away, but at the same time I love that so many people come to the fair and get to see and enjoy them.

Breathtaking…that's what came to mind when we saw the ruins of an old Nevada mine at sunset. The walls had been constructed of wine bottles and mud. All those old bottles arranged so perfectly and capturing the sunlight, what better inspiration for a lighting family? We mimicked the bottle ends with recycled steel circles of varying sized filled with recycled glass discs. Rarely before has a design based in "old" seemed so powerfully new.

City hall project moves forward
Published on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 by
Anna Lillian Moser
Read More
Of the many projects on the city's plate, one that seems particularly pressing is construction of a new city hall.
The project has been in the works since at least 2005 but has yet to move beyond the conceptual stage.
"From April of '05 to present date we have visited about 33 sites, made offers on seven sites and for a variety of reasons those offers have not been consummated," said Sequim capital projects manager Frank Needham.
The project was brought before the city council during its Feb. 19 study session, to bring the council up to speed and receive council direction.
Space is tight at city hall and not all administrative offices are under one roof.
The planning and public works departments are in a leased building on Fifth Avenue, the city manager and attorney are on Cedar Street, the police department is in a leased suite on West Washington Street and the city's boards and committees usually meet at the transit center on Cedar Street.
The main goal of a new city hall is to create a building where the majority of city staff can collectively reside. The police department plans on maintaining a separate facility.
"I've been in city hall and it's not a pleasant atmosphere to work in," Mayor Laura Dubois said.
Creating a space that is adequate for now and 30 to 50 years down the line, however, is easier said than done. For starters, although there are a number of sites that have been considered, it's questionable how accommodating each property is for a new city hall and council members' opinions vary as to where the facility should be located.
Some council members, including Dubois, are leaning toward having the new city hall built on its current site on Cedar Street because it is a central downtown location. A major benefit of the site is that the city already owns the land, so it's a cost-effective proposal. But, according to Needham there might not be enough space.
"The problem with the downtown location is that we're constrained. We're constrained in that we can't exceed that 35-foot height limitation and we need additional land, which means that we have to buy properties that may not be forthcoming in a sale that would be economic," Needham said. "So then we have to condemn them, go into a market environment - appraisal and all that - and we're going to be paying a lot more money for that land than somebody just going over and buying a house."
Supporters of the downtown location see the future city hall as a sort of civic center with open space that could be used by the city's Open Aire Market.
Another possibility is the 27 acres north of Carrie Blake Park that make up the city's water-reuse site.
"But the community's been very clear that we do not build on the water reuse site because that is a park in their minds, and another constraining factor is in the agreement to create that site that we have with the Department of Ecology, state of Washington, was that whatever we put on the site demonstrated water reuse," said Needham.
Needham believes that it's possible to create a city hall there and demonstrate water reuse successfully but that the community is generally opposed to development on the site.
Another consideration is the Burroughs property on Sequim Avenue north of the U.S. Highway 101 interchange.
According to Needham, any plans are very general, only in "footprints."
Councilman Ken Hays informed city staff during the Feb. 19 meeting that he wanted the project to be planned as creatively as possible and to think outside the box when choosing a site as well as when actually designing the building. Hays believes that every possible site should fully examined, having their pros and cons weighed, before whittling down the possibilities to only a select few.
"I'm just interested in having more options looked at," said Hays. "I think you've got to seek out the problem first before you can solve it, and we haven't fully defined the problem."

Betty Lou's Gluten Free Fruit Bars Apricot -- 12 Bars
Great snack product
The taste of the apricots is fantastic. I use these for snacks in between meals or when I wanted something sweet. Just the right size.
July 17, 2013
Great Bars!
These bars are moist and delicious. Apricot is a flavor not usually found in cereal bars. I was afraid when I went gluten free I would need to give up cereal bars, but these are better than the ones that contain gluten! I would highly recommend these bars. My teenage daughter loves them too.
June 13, 2013
Healthy snack
Apricot is not my favorite fruit,but I have to say that these bars really grew on me.Very good mid day snack.I will be buying more.

Liver Cancer PreventionIn the modern world, unfortunately, another evaluation becomes important in deciding what type of treatment to pursue: the financial one. While many of the techniques described above are effective in some patients, they are not necessarily always covered by insurance plans. Costs of the machines and drugs can be prohibitive to individuals: radioembolization can cost more than $90,000 for a single treatment; sorafenib is more than $5,000 for a month of therapy. This can make individual and institutional decisions even more heart-wrenching than usual on a personal level. At a societal level, these kinds of costs associated with treating this cancer makes it even more crucial to find ways to avoid developing it in the first place. Theoretically, hepatoma should be an almost entirely preventable disease. Hepatitis, alcohol abuse, and obesity could all be avoided through social, medical, and lifestyle changes. Some of this has already been attempted around the world, so there is cause for optimism. For instance, children in Taiwan have been immunized against hepatitis B since 1984. This has led, so far, to a 70% decrease in the rate of teenagers developing hepatoma. In the United States, where the incidence is already much lower than it is in Asia, hepatoma due to hepatitis B has fallen by half since immunization began. While there is not yet a vaccine against hepatitis C, this is a much easier virus to avoid now that blood products are being screened and people are more aware of preventing infection from used needles. Once someone is infected, treatment with the drug interferon can reduce the chance of developing hepatoma dramatically. Diabetes and obesity, clearly, can be reduced by modifications in diet and lifestyle, as difficult as that obviously continues to be in our society.

these are not the best jars of their type that i have seen. glass is a bit thin and wavy, caps are too tight, with thin wires and caps dont sit straight on top of jars. perhaps they are seconds?? too much trouble to return. these will be hidden in my pantry and do seem to close tightly, so they will serve their purpose. it would be too much trouble to return.
Excellent quality sealing glass jars to store food/spices/flour/sugar/grains/pasta. I love to buy bulk and these jars are the perfect storage solution. They are beautiful to look at and the square-ish shape makes it easier to store the jars. I also purchased smaller jars from the same maker and was very pleased with them ,as well.
Great jars, just what I wanted came packed wonderfully, can't wait to get more for my pantry overhaul.
normal clamp-sealable jars. These are HUGE! I was a bit surprised at their size. They're great.
Ordered these jars as part of a pantry makeover, and couldn't be more pleased. The seals are thick, the hinges are strong, and they are a great size. Perfect for my bulk items. Plus the square shape allows me to fit more jars into my pantry than traditional round jars. Will be back for more.

The mission of the Francis Marion University Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty is to increase the achievement of children of poverty by improving the quality of undergraduate teacher preparation, graduate teacher preparation, and the professional development of in-service teachers.
More than half of all South Carolina's schools have 70% or more of their students living in poverty. Research indicates that 43% of a student's academic performance can be traced to the quality of the teacher in the classroom. The Center works to solve the problems inherent in educating children of poverty by developing expertise in those that work with these children on a daily basis.
The Center annually presents a menu of both short- and long-term professional learning opportunities for educators. Conferences, workshops, graduate courses, and service projects are representative of the offerings available for pre- and in-service teachers and school administrators. Join the Center in making a difference by visiting our Activities section to explore what students, faculty, and educators can do such as Essay Contests, Faculty Seminars, Workshops/Summer Institutes and Outreach Projects.
The Center of Excellence is now recognized as the premier resource for supporting educators seeking strategies for improving the quality of education that all children of poverty receive. Discover the vast amount of information through research articles, websites, presentations and publications within the Poverty Resource section.
Connect with the COE by visiting the Partners section to investigate opportunities to learn how to work with children of poverty within your district, through nationally recognized research organizations, and much more.
Find out about the latest activities, articles, and exciting events of the Center by searching the News section! The COE is here to provide you with updates and information on what matters the most, serving children of poverty.

ELLE: Do you think your book will offer enough help to those who have a narcissistic mother, or should they also seek out a therapist?
Karyl McBride: The recovery program in the book is the same program I use in therapy with daughters. Daughters of narcissistic mothers tend to get stuck in the grief stage because they've been taught to hide their feelings and, as I write in the book, "put a smile on that pretty face." If you do get stuck there, it might be a good idea to work with a therapist.
ELLE: What tends to be the impetus to start therapy about your mother?
KM: Typically, women are in denial or they don't really understand that patterns or problems in their lives may stem from a lack of maternal love. They'll come into therapy because of some other issue parenting problems, love problems, self sabotage, or even being high-achieving but not feeling good enough.
ELLE: When did you address your own mother issue, and why?
KM: It was in my late thirties, prompted by struggles with internalized messages from my mother, the harsh critic. Life experience helps you see some of the patterns in love relationships and self sabotage. I was aware of constantly trying to prove my worth. I had children by then, but it wasn't so much patterns with them as what was happening internally.
ELLE: Grieving, as you describe it, sounds very solitarywrite in a journal, take walks by yourself, find a place in your home to be alone. You warn that "people close to you" may undermine your efforts. Do you recommend not talking about the grieving process? Do people tend to talk about it too much?
KM: The key is finding the right people to talk about it with. Daughters do need to process it with others, but it's very common for those around you to say, "Get over it already"; "Don't be a victim"; "Don't live in the past." You need people who can give empathy and support, and not those get-over-it messages.
ELLE: You recommend that a daughter in recovery be around healthy friends, but don't similarly wounded people tend to bond?
KM: The healthier we become and the more we've built our own sense of self, the more we're drawn to healthier people. We unconsciously pull in people who are at the same emotional level we are. As we gain a greater sense of security, we attract and are drawn to healthier peoplewhich is a good reason for recovery! Sometimes you outgrow old relationships, but it has to do with how you are internally. You're not necessarily dumping your old friendsit's more that you interact differently, have better boundaries, have more reciprocity, become less dependent or codependent.
ELLE: Did you, in your recovery, ever say, "Mom, you're a narcissist"? Or is this book the first such message?
KM: This is the first time I've said it. She does know. We've talked about generational narcissism, about my grandparents. But I'm still cautious about talking too much about her. I don't know if she'll read the book.

Dont be sad...
Satan's Meeting.
Oct 19, 2011 08:08 AM »
They said pass it on, so I'm passing it on (But not because not passing it means anything to me). But don't ask me who overheard the conversation. That still baffles me.
(Read even if you're busy)
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
We can't keep Muslims from going to Mosque."
"We can't keep them from reading their Quran and knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Allah and his messenger Muhammad."
"Once they gain that connection with Allah, our power over them is broken."
"So let them go to their Mosques; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Allah and his messenger Muhammad."
"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Allah and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending time with their children."
"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."
"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." "To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays music constantly."
"This will jam their minds and break that union with Allah and his messenger Muhammad."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."
"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."
"Invade their driving moments with billboards."
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "
"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."
Give them headaches too!
"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."
"That will fragment their families quickly!"
"Give them story books to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Salat."
"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on Allah's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead. "Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences. "
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Allah."
"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."
"It will work!" "It will work!"
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Muslims everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.
Having little time for their Allah or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Allah and his messenger Muhammad to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean:
Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Allah. Do You Love Him?
IF YOU LOVE Allah, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!
"Whoever rejects false deities and believes in Allah has grasped a firm handhold which will never break." Q 2:256"

This is our original program offering which we continue to operate. It is a two-week robot camp for students. It started as only an elementary and middle school program but we have added a high school camp. Students spend ten full days learning how to program and build small robots and then either conduct an end of camp demonstration or robot tournament. We stress connections to the workforce and conduct a field experience to help make that connection.

Video: Redefining "Cybercrime" After Aaron Swartz. A Roundtable Discussion
- March 6th, 2013
- By Brian Rowe
- Write comment
Marcia Hoffman and Brian Rowe explore the legislative and non-legislative possibilities for rethinking "cybercrime" and copyright in the wake of the Aaron Swartz suicide. Aaron Swartz was a brilliant hacker and political activist who downloaded entire JSTOR archive. Swartz was charged with thirteen counts of felony hacking and wire fraud and faced a possible sentence of decades in prison and millions in fines.
Hofmann discussed the broad reach and potential misuse of the controversial Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. She explored Swartz's prosecution under the CFAA, court interpretations of the legislation, and proposals for legislative reform.
Rowe focused on the growing chasm between the norms of digital citizens and the laws written for controlling print publications. He discussed non-legislative options for change, including Swartz's Guerilla Open Access Manifesto, Open Access Pledges, and the creation of norms that reinforce open access scholarship.
Moderated by: Ryan Calo, Assistant Professor, University of Washington School of Law
Thanks to the UW Communications Department, especially Anjali Vats and Matt McGarrity for make the event happen.

What if RIM had Barack Obama at the Launch Event?
Yeah, I know you cant use the President of the United States in advertisements but nothing is stopping him from launching anything. Could you imagine the press worldwide that would result from Barack Obama appearing on stage with Thorsten? It would undoubtedly end up trending on Twitter worldwide and quite possibly could reach the frontpage on Reddit if they managed to pull it off spectacularly in a magical way
"Mr Thorsten, I present to you the President of the United States to officially launch BB10 around the world"

What if RIM had Barack Obama at the Launch Event?
i would lose all respect for potus if that happens. pretty sure i'm not the only one. i'm pretty confident he respects the office well enough to not even consider attempting something like that.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk - 01-06-2013, 07:01 AM #7
I think it would speak volumes if the President was just seen using the x10 (he does seem to be an z10 kind of guy). RIM should give him one customized to his favorite color specially engraved.
If he shows up and appears to back BB in any way in a commercial manner, the GOP and Tea Party will go insane tearing him apart. Additionally, they will associate the brand to Obama, and if anyone thinks the phone wars are intense, that's nothing in comparison to the negative press BB will get just by mere association.
In other words, 53% will see nothing wrong or will be neutral, and the remaining 47% who is rabid anti Obama might deflect that hatred on the brand.
Not a good proposition.
As far as adverts, I don't think I remember seeing purely commercial adverts from the POTUS.
Best that can happen are subtle product placement, like on the Time magazine article where the 9900 was sitting on his desk in the Oval Office next to a "Top Secret" folder.Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy, and good with ketchupThanked by 3:Blacklatino (01-07-2013), ibpluto (01-06-2013), travaz (01-06-2013)
Everyone is going to read into it differently, however, we know the POTUS has had history using a BB device because of the keyboard and awesome security features. While I also agree it wouldn't be appropriate for him to directly endorse BlackBerry through advertisements, I think it would speak volumes by itself if he was just captured using one when he is out and about. Besides if it is secure enough for the POTUS then it must be good enough for me.

Worst idea ever, RIM should stay away from politics. Providing them with secure phones should be as far as they should go.

I was specifically speaking of the U.S. as Obama is the POTUS and the person named. The GOP and the Tea Party are clearly U.S.. parties therefore I was specifically addressing U.S. political consequences of an Obama endorsement. Had Cameron been mentioned I would have addressed UK political consequences.
I do not attempt to address geopolitical trends; that conversation would, by its very nature, take a breadth that would not lend itself to discussion in this forum.Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy, and good with ketchup - 01-06-2013, 09:42 AM #18
There are two things you never discuss in good company: religion and politics. Similarly, either one is a slippery slope to use in advertising.

Maybe if the President decided to give away BB phones to all those new welfare recipients he's created in the past 4 years, then it would be hit. Just like in Detroit, when they lined up for "Obama Bucks". It's not like he cares about disrespecting the office, since he went on ESPN to give his March Madness picks. Maybe he can do an executive order declaring that every American should be required to buy a BB10 phone, regardless if they already have a phone or not.

You want a device do succeed because it has innovative and demanding technology and specifications which meet or surpass competitors.
If you need a president to hold a device to get it to sell then there are major problems with it and the brand.
Hopefully this isn't the case, I think blackberry can sell its self.

Is there any memory cleaner or optimizer for PB?
I have been looking for days.
From an earlier post here: Thoughts from a new user
I've found I gain around 100MB free RAM (from 540-550 to 630-660 free) by stoping the Android player when not in use, very cool for browsing without clearing the cache every 2 minutes!
Only drawback: it takes around 30s to re-start when you launch an Android ported app...
3 ways to kill the player :
- Open many huge apps in a row, until PlayBook OS closes Android player to make room...
- Or sideload last free version of Android Reset (Overload) from: http://www.filearchivehaven.com/down...t_188.8.131.52.bar
- Or buy Memory Eater or the last version of Overload from official AppWorld
For sideloading "your essential" apps:
I use DDPB, and it works very well for me
(see DDPB installer utility for BlackBerry PlayBook updated to v1.0.9 | CrackBerry.com ,
and a good tutorial here: UPDATED: [PlayBook] Side Load PlayBook Apps/Android Apps (Windows) « BerryReview Forums)
For Android apps that are not in the official AppWorld, the key words are "converted" ".apk" ".bar" "sideload"
A good legit source is : Blackberry Playbook Android Apps | Good e-Reader Android APP Store - Playbook App Market
I personnaly couldn't really enjoy my PlayBook to the fullest without:
- - Repligo Reader for a real decent PDF reader
- - Moon + Reader for other e-books
- - ComicRack for comics
- - Handrite and FreeNote for magical quick drawn Post-It notes
- - WinAmp for radio
- - Android Task Killer to gain a bit of RAM when I want to keep Android player open, but quiet! (Some say it's stupid to use that, I gain RAM, YMMV)
- - Google Maps (Latitude) for... Maps & Navigation (sometimes a bit buggy, but sooooo nice )
- - Some games (question of taste)
Have a look in the sub-forum for Apps also, just here on CrackBerry.
Hope it might help some!
For the record, I'm just compiling info learned for 99% here on the CrackBerry forums: many thanks to all who contribute(d) in this excellent (and sanity-saving when things go wrong with your beloved!) community! - 12-22-2012, 11:15 PM #3There are trolls in BlackBerry clothing among us.
