*22/07/2005- Metal Gear Crisis 1.2 is out
NALO edit: Thanks for the daily first place and the front page, and all the great comments
Snake must infiltrate the enemy base to find the new and most deadly Metal Gear,
who or what will he encounter…………………well you will have to watch and find out.
It is a original story set after MGS1 but before MGS2.
This is a collaboration between Legendary Frog and myself.
It took 4 long months of work, of script and idea edits and animation work it is done.
And for those who still don't understand
I (NALO) did the art and animation and Legendary Frog, he did write the script, and came up with the concept, as it is an original story, not taken from any particular game.
This is only the first part of 2, and the second isn't finished yet, but because it was originally going to be one big movie, so some of part 2 is done.
I thought it would be a good idea to split it, so I could get a part of it out earlier and so that I can add more sound and stuff without going over the limit.
I need number 2
This is the funniest writing by LF in a long time. NALO's animation was awesome beyond compare, as well. The music was well chosen, too. The only down-side of this movie is the fart joke and a few stale jokes (the "why is the sky blue" line has been rather overdone, but it was redeemed by the other questions). I anticipate the 2nd part anxiously.
I <3 lf
You have just been pwned by...
That seriously couldn't be any better!!
Yet another Master-piece from the Legendary Frog and Mr. Nalo here. Whoever works with Legendary Frog must b pretty good, and u guys proved once again that u r kings amung Flash movie makers!!!

Fox Hunting - Why Have Our Attitudes Changed?
Why Have Our Opinions Changed?
Are we so indecisive?
Cute and Clever Canids now Giant Red Rats
How have our opinions changed so quickly?
Nowadays few people even have time to care about the fox, now that they are a more common sight.
Borat Takes on the Fox Hunters
Satire against bloodthirsty animal haters
What's Next?
Which animal will be our next victim?
We know some people leave dog food out for foxes, which is kind but can annoy neighbours and make the public opinion of them worse. We're not advocating adopting wild foxes (which is, in itself, a form of cruelty by affection) but rather respect them, allow them to survive without persecution and never actively hurt or show cruelty towards them. Live and let live. Isn't that the mantra we all claim to live by?
Which animal do we victimise next, should we start treating foxes as pests the same as rats or insects (which I also have a problem with – more lenses to follow!)? Deer? Cats and dogs? It would take a lot to change the British people into haters of our innocent wildlife or pets – but, twenty years ago, wasn't the fox an innocent and essential part of our British countryside?
A damning and dark notion.
Join the BBC Debate
The Beeb weighs in on this controversial issue
Tell Us What You Think
Love Foxes or Hate Them?
I'll admit that I'm the least biased person on this matter. I would like to open up the floor to debate - please keep all arguments respectful, we're not going to get anywhere by descending into name-calling.
How Do You Feel About Foxes
Love Foxes
doringo says:
Foxes are a natrual part of our ecosystem and actually do more good than harm. Most of the common debates by fox haters are at human fault as foxes are easy to detter and also it is worth noting that almost mobody has ever caught a disease off of a fox.
dalton says:
foxes are good animals but i have ben ataked by them for no reason so i like foxes but i alo like hunting them
Samuel Ferrell says:
Foxes like other varmints have to be kept in check or they will simply over populate. In a fairy book world everything will love each other an all will be fine, but thats not how the world operates. Nothing is worse then seeing starving , desiesed animals do to over population. Remember foxes are prone to be carriers of rabbies,I don't hate foxes by no means nor do I want to see them wiped out but this old country boy understands the importance of also maintaning a healthy population, an the only way to do that is by putting a few to rest. LONG LIVE FOXHUNTING!!!
Beverlee Carrell says:
What the hell is wrong with humans? We killed 100 million of our own species in the 20th century. Leaves animals alone for Lords sake. We are the sickest & most pathertic creature on the planet!
Sylvestermouse says:
I happen to love little foxes! We adopted one of our dogs simply because she looked like a fox when she was a puppy. Of course, we would have brought her home regardless because she was starving, but we did call her fox dog from day one :) She just celebrated her 8th birthday with us.
Hate Foxes

Alert message
Snakesmum Dec 29, 2012 @ 6:56 pmGreat lens. Hate cruelty to animals, and foxhunting is just that.
dream1983 Dec 01, 2012 @ 11:54 amInteresting lens, well done!
whats4dinner Nov 26, 2012 @ 7:58 pmmaybe these people ran out of things to do that's why they resorted back into fox hunting. sad fact
KatPalmer Nov 23, 2012 @ 11:01 amI agree that we need to stop thinking of how animals are annoying and therefore must be killed. Instead we have to start thinking about how we can live with them. Every creature has merits and deserves to live.
anticruelty Nov 26, 2012 @ 5:28 amI couldn't agree more. As a species I think humans are so lucky that other animals don't have the same idea of pest removal. Because we'd be for the chop.
Timewarp Nov 22, 2012 @ 8:17 pmMy favorite foxes are the one's that stole the guy's hat in Grizzly Man, so cute!
anticruelty Nov 23, 2012 @ 8:15 amYou know, I've never seen that movie. Looks like I've got my Sunday morning Netflix activity sorted :)
Nov 22, 2012 @ 10:17 amWhat a shame that the public has changed their opinion so drastically. My ancestors might feel that the foxes have come to give a lesson to many.
anticruelty Nov 22, 2012 @ 10:28 amIndeed! They have spiritual significance in a lot of cultures. Terrible shame.
WordCustard Nov 22, 2012 @ 9:19 amThanks for bringing the plight of the fox to people's attention. I hope there are still many of us here in the UK who do take the side of the fox. They have enough of a struggle as a result of 'progress' (traffic, disappearing habitats) without humans making life even more difficult.
anticruelty Nov 22, 2012 @ 9:31 amAbsolutely. I just don't understand why such a change has been made: they were British cultural icons and loved by kids in children's stories and whatnot: now they're like aggressive scavenging vermin in the public's eyes. It's such a shame. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, it means a lot!

Iran's Election Watchdog Cancels Result for Western Parliamentary Seat
The conservative-dominated Guardians Council has annulled the parliamentary election victory of a pro-reform candidate in western Iran, reported Iran News Agency (IRNA) Friday.
The council, which supervises elections, overturned the selection of Khaled Tavakoli to represent Saqqez and Baneh in the western province of Kurdistan "for various reasons," the agency said.
The council also upheld the elections of an independent candidate who will represent Borujen in the south and a reformist from Bushehr on the Gulf.
Pro-reform forces hold 80 percent of the seats in parliament, which was elected in two rounds of voting, in February and in May, said IRNA.
But so far, only 276 of the 290 seats in the body have been filled.
The Guardians Council has not yet announced the results of 10 elections held on May 5th, and elections for some districts have not been held yet, according to the agency - Albawaba.com

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 4: So Long and Thanks for all the Fish
Just as Arthur Dent's sense of reality is in it's dickiest state he suddenly finds the girl of his dreams. He finds her in the last place in the Universe in which he would expect to find anything at all, but which 3,976,000 people would find oddly familiar. They go in search of God's Final Message to His Creation and, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 3: Life, the Universe and Everything
In consequence of a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot possibly get any worse, they suddenly do. He discovers that the Galaxy is not only mind-boggling big and bewildering but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair.
Alek and Deryn are aboard the Leviathan when the ship is ordered to pick up an unusual passenger. This brilliant/maniacal inventor claims to have a weapon called Goliath that can end the war. But whose side is he really on?
While on their top-secret mission, Alek finally discovers Deryn's deeply kept secret. Two, actually. Not only is Deryn a girl disguised as a guy... she has feelings for Alek.
The crown, true love with a commoner, and the destruction of a great city all hang on Alek's next - and final - move.

Alessandra Ambrosio Returns to L.A. to Welcome the Weekend
Eager to get back home to her family, Alessandra Ambrosio touched down at LAX airport on Friday (March 28).
The Victoria's Secret Angel wore a charcoal gray top, black leather jacket, and matching pants as she rocked shades while heading through the busy terminal.
Stoked for a little time off, the 32-year-old model and mother-of-two tweeted earlier in the day, "It's the weekend!!! #TGIF."
Welcoming the new season after a long winter, Alessandra blogged, "It's spring and we love everything about it. From bouquets of pretty flowers sitting centered on tables to bowls full of sweet (and healthy!) strawberries. It's time to ditch bulky sweaters, slip into flirty skirts and dresses and kiss warm, sunny days hello with our pink and coral lacquered lips."

They are shortstop Luis Perez, second baseman Raul Siri, lefty pitcher Christian Mota and right-handers Ramon Garcia, Junior Lopez, Julian Villamar and Yunior Montero. The last player on that list, Yunior Montero, might be a name familiar to Pirates fans. He was originally signed in 2009 for $45,000, but failed the MLB background check and had his contract voided. He had to sit out the season and then the next year he showed improvements, forcing the Pirates into a bidding war. That time they paid $185,000 to sign him. Montero made one start in the Dominican Summer League in 2011 and threw five shutout innings, allowing two hits and a walk, while striking out four batters. After that one start, MLB then contacted the Pirates after more problems came up with his second background check. He has been in limbo ever since. Montero has been with the team in their Dominican facility, but ineligible to play until now. The scouting report from 2010 had him hitting 94 MPH, with a decent slider. We will have additional information on these players within the next couple days.

EPIC Birthday Giveaway!!! Winners will be announced August 13th.
August always feels so lucky for me since my birthday is August 13th AND I started my business August 1st last year and to celebrate I am hosting a HUGE birthday giveaway! 13 gifts for you just to say thank you for being here and supporting me in creating the life of my dreams. I have teamed up with some amazing heart-centered women to share their gifts with you. Gorgeous jewelry, free coaching, eCourses, and so much more are up for grabs! Check out the full list here and sign up now! Winners will be announced August 13th. Good Luck!
It's time to step into your power and share your gifts with the world! Are you ready?
My name is Lamisha Serf and I know that each and every one of you have a gift that is meant to be shared with the world and I am here to help you step fully into your PURPOSE, PASSION, and VISION for the future. I work with freedom-seeking world-changers to break through the blocks and barriers that keep them playing small so they can more fully share their talents with the world.
If you are a heart-centered artist, healer, yogi, coach, holistic practitioner, business owner or you want to be and you are looking to live a more abundant, prosperous, and happy life doing work you LOVE, you have come to the right place.
With a Masters in Psychology and my unique intuitive and inspiration-driven coaching philosophy, I help soul-purposed world-changers break through old blocks, old stories, and beliefs that keep you playing 'safe' and small.
- Are you seeking a life of freedom, joy, and abundance that allows you to do more of what you love, but feel blocked on the 'how'?
- Do you have a heart-centered business that you are ready to take to the next level but find yourself stuck?
- Do you know you are on the right path, but can't quite figure out how to get from where you are to where you want to be?
- Are you being called to expand, evolve, and grow beyond your current bounds, but are unsure of the next steps?
- Do you find yourself with a ton of amazing ideas, inspiration, and passion but lack the focus to bring your vision to life?
If you answered YES to one or more of the items above, it is not by accident that you are here. Call it Divine Timing, synchronicity, or the answer to your prayer, but whatever you call it know that this is your sign to take the leap and SOAR.
It is a magical feeling to find your passion and purpose in life and yet when you can't quite seem to figure out HOW to get the true freedom, abundance, and joy to flow easily, it can be downright frustrating especially when you know that is how life is meant to be lived.
"From our first conversation I became aware of her natural ability as a coach. Lamisha is intuitive, listens deeply, and has a maturity about her that allows her to hold even the most seasoned life in a space of grace and compassion. I can't think of a better person to share life's journey, particularly when dreams need to come to life! What a delight to recommend her." J. M. -Reiki Practitioner
Sound familiar? If so, then I am here to help you!
I am a master at helping you:
- Identify the blocks and beliefs that you may not even realize are holding you back
- Implement seemingly magical tips and tools to unleash your power to manifest the amazing life you deserve
- Take your passion and purpose out into the world more fully
So, are you ready to finally live the free, abundant, and passionate life you have been dreaming of that allows you do work you love while serving the world?
If so:
- Sign up for my newsletter and get your free gift 3 Easy Ways to Jump Start Your Dream Life & Biz. You will also get the inside scoop on awesome tools, tips, and practices that will help you get unstuck and moving on your path to a living the life of your dreams.

Kramer Zx30h Electric Guitar Vintage 80's Screamer Emg
Free Shipping KRAMER USA Pacer Imperial 1983 Trans Green C serial Guitar 04
Kramer ZX30H Electric Guitar
You are bidding on a nice Strat style guitar. This is a 1980's vintage guitar in good condition. This guitar has a few small scratches but plays better than a Stratocaster. I love the neck and action on this guitar. No dead frets. There are a couple hairline cracks on the body near the neck, small chips on the edges and a cross scratch spot just above the pickguard as seen in pictures. Plastic on whammy bar is a little scratched as well. All imperfections are only really visible close up. This is still a beautiful guitar and sounds awesome with the ENG pickups.
Please ask all questions before bidding. No international shipping.

On to the list!
The Knights of Columbus will be serving fried fish dinners for the first six Fridays of Lent at St Thomas More Catholic Church.
First one: Friday, March 7th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Parish Activity Center.

Animals Matter
See what Express-News pets columnist Cathy M. Rosenthal has to say about animals.
Chihuahua "prays" at Zen Temple
I came across this story and thought it illustrated the simple moment of connection we can have with animals. A little black and white Chihuahua named Conan has learned to imitate his human friend by mimicking him in prayer. Little Conan prayes alongside his friend, priest Joei Yoshikuni , in a Zen Temple. Yoshikuni says […] [Read More]
Rabbits and the Habit of Easter
For Easter, many people opt for live bunnies as gifts for their children. It's an impulse purchase and one that is done over and over again at this time of year. While rabbits are wonderful pets, they aren't wonderful pets for children. Because they are used to being prey, chased by other animals, they have […] [Read More]
Feral Cats: One Town Offers Planned Pethood, Another A Bounty
In the ongoing struggle to deal with the overpopulation of felines and feral cat colonies, two towns announced two radically different strategies — one was applauded, the other pummeled. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, organizers developed "Planned Pethood," a take-off on the name Planned Parenthood for dealing with feral cats. Opting for the trap, neuter, […] [Read More]
Where to Voice Your Concern on Marines Killing Pup
Earlier this week, there was a story about two Marines who tossed a puppy over a cliff. When I watched the video, I was horrified. I realized that through my work, I had witnessed the aftermaths of such horrific behavior, but failed to process the moments leading up to it — the pain and anguish […] [Read More]
800 Dogs in a Triple Wide Trailer
I just read that 800 dogs were found in a triple wide trailer in Arizona. My husband keeps muttering "impossible" over and over again. He loves math and has been trying to figure out how 800 dogs, even small dogs, could possibly occupy that limited floor space. He's thinking too horizontal. Hoarders stack kennels, using […] [Read More]
Can Animals Be Altruistic?
Altruism is, perhaps, one of the great mysteries of animal behavior. The dictionary describes altruism as "a behavior by an animal that may be to its disadvantage, but that benefits others of its kind, as a warning cry that reveals the location of the caller to a predator. " When we think of altruistic animal […] [Read More]
Cats Protect Against Heart Attacks
We have all heard about the health benefits of having a dog in our life. They can ease depression, lower blood pressure, and protect against multiple heart attacks. So I was quite pleased to learn that cats may offer their people similar protections. In a recent article, it was reported that cats can help protect […] [Read More]
Killing Cats Part of Olympic Preparation?
According to a Fox News report, officials in Beijing are killing cats in record numbers to prepare their city for the upcoming summer Olympics. So far, 500,000 felines have been killed under the new government policy. The government is also spreading fear within the community, telling people that cats spread horrible diseases, including the deadly […] [Read More]

When the lights went out over Europe
At 11 p.m. GMT 100 years ago today, Britain's ultimatum to Germany — get out of Belgium by midnight — expired, and World War I was fully underway.
The British immediately declared war on the Germans, the day after France and Germany had declared war on one another.
British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey was reported to have said the following, a phrase that still haunts after a century:
"The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
Between 10-11 p.m. tonight in London, lights of some of the city's most famous landmarks will be extinguished to begin the commemorations.
For more than 4-1/2 years, the carnage claimed more than 16 million lives. Britain lost between 700,000 and 888,000 men. Nearly 1.4 million French soldiers died, as did around half a million Italians and more than 115,000 Americans.
Russia suffered the most of any country, with between 1.7 million and 2.3 million military deaths, even though its participation ended in 1917 with the Bolshevik revolution.
On the Central Powers side, Germany suffered the heaviest losses, with 1.7 million to 2 million men killed; Austria-Hungary lost between 1.2 million to 1.5 million men in uniform; and the Ottoman Empire between 325,000 and 770,000.

The 39-month sentence Thursday from a federal judge in Washington nearly matched prosecutors' request for a 43-month prison term.
Brown's lawyers had sought a more lenient sentence.
Brown admitted taking bribes from a man he thought was a businessman seeking preferential treatment on government contracts. The businessman turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.
Brown apologized and said he should have resisted the District's culture of corruption.

Thanks for reading this. I basically have two questions that are unrelated:
1) Is it possible to have a 7-bit encoded text header message and if so does this mean the actual text header part (as this is effectively part of the user data) is encoded as 7-bits and needs unpacking to 8-bits before you can parse for "//SCKL......." ? Can anyone supply an example of such a message ?
2) What is the cancel-command-specifier used for in ringing tone programming. I cannot think of a viable use or scenario in which it would be used. If this is used is it possible to again supply an exmaple byte stream ?
Again thanks for reading this and any information will be grately appreciated

OPINION: Oh dear, shock horror, Auckland cyclists are back in the gun again for being the worst offenders at jumping red lights, and the vitriol floating back and forth from the driving ignorami on talkback has to be heard to be believed.
This recent statistical revelation was hardly surprising to those of us who have studied such matters close-up - like, say, from the seat of a bike. There is a simple explanation for the high prevalence of light-jumping by cyclists in Auckland and elsewhere around the country. It is called survival. You jump red lights because it's safer than waiting to be run over by the most ill-mannered bunch of incompetent nutters behind the wheel in worldwide Anglo-Saxonia.
Being a cyclist myself, I can assure readers that having to contend with foul-tempered, near-murderous drivers is a daily fact of cycling life. One little trick I've acquired is to pop on the footpath and activate the pedestrian light - effectively giving you a "legal" head start, rather than having to jump the red light.
I ride a pushbike around town more for convenience, rather than such lofty aims as trying the save the planet.
New Plymouth is reasonably flat and could almost have been designed for bikes. It would be wonderful around here were it not for the antics of some of this country's worst drivers - only Christchurch and Palmerston North are worse.
In fairness to the crew on the New Plymouth District Council's "Let's Go" scheme, the city is now more bike- friendly than it used to be, but until it is realised that a significant block of Kiwi drivers are beyond hope in their infantile behind-the-wheel attitude, the only solution is to separate cyclists from other drivers by dedicated cycleways.
Unfortunately this will cost heaps and require a major road planning mind- shift.
Another matter featuring in the news over recent months has been the question of poverty and whether many lower- decile families live in it or not. After the arguments whether poverty is for real or merely a political wind-up, one suspects that there are genuine pockets in this country - even if most cases are self-inflicted rather than endemic - for example, by having nine kids and no job.
The other depressing aspect of the poverty debate has been hand-wringing by authorities, and the constant media message that there is no silver bullet solution to entrenched poverty and starving kids.
Well, in fact there is a simple solution. Even if it's a bronze bullet rather than silver, there is a single stroke of the pen change that would lift a large tranche of families out of the self-inflicted poverty trap. That is to dramatically drop the tax on fags - rather than keep raising it 10 per cent each year. Addiction is not cured by legislation, and you can put a lot of food on the table for the tax content on a $30 packet of fags. The whole anti- smoking campaign, with its target of 90 per cent smokefree by 2025, is an ill- conceived farce. Guess what comes first for those at the bottom of the heap - fags or the kids' breakfast?
It is true that at least 75 per cent of my friends who were long-term, heavy smokers are now dead, but at least most made it to 65 - which is a better run for your money than the currently obese sugar-suckers are going to achieve.
These are the guys immune to the message to eat up their greens and get back on the bike. The difference between them and smokers is that the latter paid up front for their inevitable medical costs - while the sugar babies who are going to overwhelm the health system are making no contribution for the looming tidal wave of cost of their addiction.
The best thing obese sugar addicts could do for their health is to take up e-cigarettes as a safe method of quelling appetite and losing weight.
Nicotine may be highly addictive, but it is not carcinogenic. What causes lung cancer is not nicotine but some of the hundreds of other chemicals in tobacco smoke.
By metering only small shots of nicotine, e-cigarettes would seem to be the ultimate win-win product. Smokers get their fix, fatties lose weight, the hospitals lose patients, and the taxman gets heaps from all concerned.
It is a simple tax-neutral change to drop the tax on fags and recover it on fizzy sugar drinks.
A final point on the myth that passive smoking is a hazard was made by Joe Bennett in his splendid "Power of Words" oration during the last arts festival. If you want proof that passive smoke does not kill, all you need do is visit any rest home where lines of dribblers sit in wheelchairs awaiting death - after losing their spouses to lung cancer years ago. Passive smoke never killed one of them - even if many now wished it had.

The reputable Sourcing Innovation blog uses Wikipedia's definition to describe strategic sourcing as "an institutional procurement process that continuously improves and re-evaluates the purchasing activities of a company." In their efforts to implement a strategic sourcing program, many organizations start by defining a process that begins with the identification of an opportunity; proceeds through data collection, supplier bidding and negotiation; and concludes with contracts and ongoing supplier management.
Over time, it is not uncommon for such a process to become more of a mandatory checklist than a guideline, and the result is anything but strategic. In order to deliver continuous improvement, it is essential to identify desired outcomes and plot a path to them that is specific to the category of spend in question. Even the "sourcing" part of strategic sourcing is not to be dismissed as just locating a product or service that meets specifications. Make, lease, buy, outsource, nearshore, and offshore are just a few examples of the acquisition options available for consideration.
The working relationship between procurement and the rest of the business heightens the risk of an overlystandardized process. Internal stakeholders are usually (and understandably) partial to their current suppliers, specifications, and management of the category. Following a new acquisition process is already more change than they are often ready for, but starting with a blank canvas can be terrifying and cause resistance and stifle collaboration.
In order to avoid getting trapped by the institution of strategic sourcing (wonderful though it may be), every project needs to be approached with flexibility: finding the right source of supply given the relevant costs, risks, ownership structure (purchase, outsource, lease, etc), and plans for the future. Strategic sourcing might, instead, be thought of "opportunistic acquisition." Rather than centering a project on a well-intended but confining process, identify the unique attributes of that spend category. Find places where deviating from the standard process offers tangible benefits.
Here are a few methods of "opportunistic acquisition":
Flip the steps: The strategic sourcing process usually calls for building an internal team and kicking off the sourcing project before conducting an industry analysis, but internal stakeholders may be critical of having to work with procurement. By reordering the process and doing an industry analysis first, procurement will be better positioned to discuss the opportunities for improving the spend category with stakeholders and earn their respect with knowledge and preparation.
Run a Request for Information: If there seems to be an overwhelming number of specifications for the product or service being purchased, it is important to understand which ones affect costs. Run a Request for Information (RFI) to have suppliers identify non-standard or costly specifications in advance of bidding. The specifications may be left unchanged, but the decision to accept additional costs will be conscious and made based upon a full understanding.
Don't go to bid: While a contract may about to expire, procurement should not assume that the right approach is to run the category through the strategic sourcing process, regardless of whether it has been sourced before. Identify the potential for savings as well as the likelihood for changes in that market. Often, meeting with an incumbent supplier and signing a modified contract extension is a fast, inexpensive, resource-light strategy.
Deviating from a standard process should be considered in all cases, but do so only when there are measurable benefits. Pressures from internal stakeholders, complaints from incumbent suppliers, or resource constraints in procurement are not appropriate reasons to alter or shortcut the process.
The procurement governance model may require that process changes go before an executive review board. Such review opportunities should be welcomed to demonstrate that procurement is a value-add team with the organization's best interests in mind. Being opportunistic and identifying new sources of supply, more flexible contract structures, or pricing models that better match the cost basis of a product should be encouraged as a part of strategic sourcing whether it aligns with the letter of the process or not.
While the benefits to the organization of a category-specific approach are easy to demonstrate, the benefits to the individuals tasked with carrying out the process are even greater. If a process can be captured in a checklist-like format, the results are limited — as are the career progression opportunities for procurement professionals. Over time, the cost to execute becomes the driving metric, opening the procurement function up to alternatives such as outsourcing or participation in a group purchasing organization (GPO).
Delivering continuous improvement year over year and contract after contract requires more creativity than any process can deliver. The strategic sourcing process should still be considered the starting point for any sourcing project, but it should not be followed before reviewing the internal and external factors affecting risk, availability, costs, and innovation and making sure they are incorporated – strategically.
According to Merriam-Webster, institutions are "firmly associated with a place or thing" and "established organization[s]." Institutions have positive implications as well as negative ones, and those should be sought by procurement. A standardized process that has been endorsed by executive leadership provides procurement with a foundation for strategy. Procurement wants to be associated with the act of acquiring a product or service, and it also wants to be an established function positioned for long-term success.
The risk with a standardized process is in allowing value creation to be associated with the process rather than the team running it. Demonstrating leadership by purposefully deviating from the process when opportunities arise meets the goals of the organization, the procurement function, and the individual professionals all at once.

Comments On Jun 20, 2014:Just got these boots and they feel great on my feet. Very comfortable and not restrictive feeling. I had first tried the new SG11 but the toe box area was too roomy and loose on my foot. The SG12 new toe box is low profile and slim. The overall quality is a bit better than the SG11 also. Spend the extra and get the new SG12 over the SG11.

Britain can do business with Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister David Cameron declared on Monday after failing to prevent EU leaders giving the Luxembourger the bloc's most powerful job in a defeat that could drive Britain closer to leaving the EU.
Cameron's loss of an unprecedented summit vote he forced over the next European Commission president sharpened concern that the world's sixth largest economy may be sliding towards the exit. Only Hungary sided with Britain in the 26-2 vote.
In an article published in the Britain's Daily Telegraph on Monday after he telephoned Juncker to congratulate him on Sunday, the British leader struck a more conciliatory tone.
"We will now work with him," he wrote, declaring in the headline: "The Juncker defeat is not a fatal blow. Britain will champion change in Europe."
"If … we can agree that we are not heading, at different speeds, to the same place – as some have assumed up to now – then there is business we can do," Cameron wrote.
The Conservative Prime Minister has promised to renegotiate Britain's EU ties and hold an in/out referendum in 2017 if he is re-elected in a general election next year.
The first opinion poll taken after his defeat over Juncker showed a big plurality of voters now want to leave – 47 per cent against 39 per cent who want to stay in the EU.
Warning in Brussels that the Juncker nomination would make it harder to keep Britain inside the bloc it joined in 1973, Cameron quipped sarcastically that he would be back soon for another EU meeting "in paradise."
After six weeks of criticizing Juncker and refusing to talk to him, the Prime Minister placed a call on Sunday to the man he had branded a "career Brussels insider" and the wrong person for to head the executive that proposes and enforces EU laws.
"The PM welcomed Mr Juncker's commitment of finding a fair deal for Britain and Mr Juncker said that he was fully committed to finding solutions for the political concerns of the U.K.," a spokesman for his Downing Street office said.
But Cameron, 47, said that the nomination of Juncker, a 59-year-old former Luxembourg prime minister of Luxembourg, a veteran European deal broker, would make his goal of renegotiating Britain's EU ties harder.
"I do not deny that it has made the task harder and the stakes higher," Cameron wrote. "You don't turn around a tanker like the EU with ease."
Cameron was due to address the British Parliament later on Monday to report on last week's tense EU summit.
In an attempt to explain a strategy that isolated Britain, Cameron has cast himself as a man of principle who was ready to endure personal humiliation to argue the case of disenchanted voters who want the EU to change.
All three main political parties in Britain opposed Juncker but critics accused Cameron of pursuing a confrontational strategy that spooked allies, undermined British interests and lubricated the slide towards a British exit, or Brexit.
Ed Miliband, the leader of the opposition Labor Party, said on Monday the EU's vote represented an "utter humiliation" for the Conservative Leader and that his failed strategy to block Juncker showed that his wider plans of renegotiating Britain's EU ties were in disarray.
"He couldn't get four countries to support him over Mr. Juncker," Miliband told Parliament. "And if he can't get four countries to block the appointment of a president, how an earth is he going to get 27 countries to support a new [EU] treaty? … His renegotiation strategy is in tatters."
"Stop waving around the threat of a referendum in Britain as if it's some sort of pistol that we're holding to everyone's head and saying that you've got to agree with us or else," said former EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson, one of the most influential Europhiles.
Cameron has always said he supports EU membership, seen by most bankers and foreign investors as vital to London's status as the only financial capital to rival New York.
But ahead of the May, 2015, election, he faces an electorate upset by immigration while his Conservative Party is divided and under pressure from the U.K. Independence Party which won the European Parliament elections with 27.5 per cent of the vote.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who wants to take Britain out of the EU, said Cameron was a "loser."
"The idea that David Cameron is in any position to negotiate a radical new deal that will advance Britain's interests in Brussels is looking ever more preposterous," he said.
Michael Fuchs, deputy leader of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives in parliament, told BBC radio that a British exit from the EU would be a disaster, but lawmakers in Cameron's own party said a vote to leave was clearly possible.
"The UK's exit from the EU is not unimaginable," said John Redwood, a Eurosceptic lawmaker in Cameron's party. "The rest of the EU would get over it."
