Showing courage is one of your most important jobs as a leader.
No one becomes a leader without taking some personal risk. Change starts with one. Why not be the one?
Leaders change departments, organizations and lives. They make a choice to do their jobs differently.
They create an environment that enables innovation. Others choose to follow and make a difference.
Change is a personal choice. It starts as a mindset and attitude. Next, behaviors change.
In an organization, change starts with one and spreads out from there.
Make it easier for others to change. Create the environment that lets them do their jobs differently.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Some residents in Ferguson, Missouri, are equipping themselves with cameras, and knowledge.
The World looks to America for leadership. Technology and social media were bound to become part of the mix in civil rights.
The Police Chief is supportive. As long as filming is in public places, privacy should not be an issue.
Are we ready for what we will see?
Leadership is the magic ingredient for successful change. The best processes, methods and tools cannot overcome a lack of great leadership. So take the time to understand the changes you intend and the environment you intend to implement them in and then use these techniques to successfully achieve results.
Organizational change is easy. Managers just tell employees to do their jobs differently. Employees jump up and say, "Yes sir!" The whole company changes seamlessly.
If this were true, the failure rate associated with change initiatives would not be 60% and 70%.
It takes a structure to run your company. It takes a structured approach to change how people do their jobs, while continuing to satisfy current demand.
If there was only one thing changing at a time, it might be easier. When was the last time that happened?

People used to believe that you didn't have to be happy at work to succeed. And you didn't need to like the people you work with, or even share their values. "Work is not personal," the thinking went. This is bunk.
Unhappy people are often ineffective employees. They focus on how they feel.
There is a time and place for that. We call it therapy.
In a marketplace with more competition, this is a lose-lose-lose-lose situation.
Life is short. Pursue happiness.
Older workers — those who are at or approaching the traditional retirement age of 65 — are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce and one of the fastest-growing groups in the overall population.
We continue to hear companies are having a hard time finding employees. It is hard to imagine that there is a talent shortage in America.
We have some of the best schools.
Now, we learn that we have a new resource in older or experienced candidates. These folks are battle-tested and ready to work.
For years, I have been trying to figure out why so many leaders tolerate poor execution and do nothing about it. One unfortunate issue I see quite regularly is simply that some "big" …
Strategy Planning + Strategy Execution = Organizational & People-Side Change. Get Your Hands Dirty or Fail
Strategy execution requires organizational change. There are well-established methodologies that you can use.
Here are a few resources.
Read the book "Leading Change" by John Kotter. He offers a view of top-down change leadership method validated through use by many companies. For more in depth coverage than this high-level view, choose from the many other books Kotter has written on change leadership.
Note, I did not say change management. It is essential to remember that you are trying to lead your organization to a new place when changing strategy. The emphasis is on leading, rather than maintaining the status quo, or management.
The next few resources are more of a bottom up approach. Both are necessary.

The ideas we have are nothing without an execution plan.
Many businesses have been built on a great idea that someone had but they failed because the person didn't execute.
The traders that attempted to manipulate the foreign exchange markets used chatrooms to share information about currency orders and gave themselves macho pseudonyms such as "The players", "the A team" and "the 3 musketeers
Digital transformation aids in exposure of fraud.
Note to future fraudsters. If you are going to try to manipulate foreign exchange rates, do not use chat rooms to discuss tactics.
You may not want to appear too caviler when creating evidence that can, and will be used against you in a court of law.
Private Chatrooms are not private! When faced with a choice between protecting you and giving up data to the Feds, the ISP will choose the Feds.
How ubiquitous connectivity is changing an industry.
Taylor Swift has taken action against the perceived problem. I say, Good for her!
What will the fans do? Will fans change their listening behavior to support her?
Swift sees the value of music in terms of dollars. Fans feel the value of music in their hearts.
Neither is wrong.
The issue may be different than how Swift views it. The problem is how the industry is structured.
While society, technology and customer expectations have changed, the executives and labels stayed too long at the trough.
Taylor has gone out of her way to tell us she likes risky relationships. She may be barking up the wrong tree once again.
A fan denied will either find a way, or find someone else.
One thing is for sure. There will be change. Taylor is likely to come back to us on the rebound.
Learn the specific skills you need to work effectively in a virtual team, from communication and building relationships to coping with isolation, and more.
Virtual teams are far from new. Adoption of virtual teams is not even across the world.
Technology, society and management continue to evolve. Therefore, it is worth revisiting how teams work, succeed and fail regularly.
I helped introduce the technology and trained corporate employees on virtual teams that spanned continents. That started back in the 1990s.
The emphasis is too often on the technology. This was true 20 years ago. It remains true today. Our obsession with technology leads management to forget that people are harder to upgrade.
People make teams successful or a failure. What are the people issues that need attention?
One of the big issues is trust. Without video, communication lacks the visual cues we rely upon. Trust of corporate management in its employees is an old problem.
Virtual work highlights a psychological issue that is well known.
Perceptions that managers hold about their employees influence their management style. Some managers assume employees will take any chance to steal and cheat. Virtual teams make some managers very uncomfortable. For more, follow the links on Theory X and Theory Y below.
Culture is another big stumbling block. For workers who have not been outside of their own country, training is required.
In traditional organizations, training people on management of time, tasks and people are a low priority until workers attain a higher level.
Traditional organizations still cling to norms established during the industrial revolution. Incentives, rewards and management styles popularized in factories are not effective in the modern office.
To make virtual teams work for your company, focus on people, culture and technology. To lead your company to new heights, your people have to evolve. It takes more than cool technology.
Remember, the current economy and changes in human lifespans means that more, older workers than ever are in the workplace. To be effective, solutions must be scalable to the population.
"Older workers — those who are at or approaching the traditional retirement age of 65 — are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce and one of the fastest-growing groups in the overall population. In the U.S. the number of individuals aged 65 or older will increase by about 66% between now and 2035." (HBR, "Engaging Your Older Workers")

President Barack Obama says Internet providers shouldn't be allowed to cut deals with online services like Netflix, Amazon or YouTube to move their content faster.
Tea Party darling Sen. Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz), with no industry experience thinks, "Net Neutrality' is Obamacare for the Internet," and "The Internet should not operate at the speed of government."
Ted Cruz: Regulating the Internet threatens entrepreneurial freedom
Ted takes a swing, but it is another miss! Ted, if it were not for the government, there would be no Internet. Look it up!
Ted seems to have had an O-Chip placed in his head. If Obama said it was Monday, Ted automatically yells, "No, it is Tuesday!"
I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but this crap is getting old.
If the current crop of politicians decides the future of the Internet, expect nothing but a long fight. In the end, it will not matter much.
Why do I say it will not matter? Other countries have already surpassed the US in Internet speed. Soon, other countries will be the innovators and the US will be the follower.
That is ironic since the US government created the Internet. Even though it took many regulations and agreements the process created a usable platform for the World.
Regulation is not inherently bad. Corporate America is not the ruler of the World. Markets have become global. Before you yell that I am un-American, go outside of your Mom's basement. Times are changing. Competition happens at the speed of light.
We will get less that we bargained for if we let corporations turn it into a battleground. No one wins, except our competitors. If people stop trusting America to lead, they will turn to another party. No, I do not mean the Republicans, Democrats or Libertarians.
Do not forget there are many critical services that run over the Internet. Netflix and Google will seem a lot less important when the controls at the power plant fail.
We have bigger problems than Internet Fast Lanes. Open a browser. Do a search for SCADA Security. Then, come talk to me about how you want less regulation and controls over what companies see fit to attach to the Internet.
Before taking sides, do some reading. Look for opinions not formed in Washington, D.C. The place has turned into a swamp with cows grazing the landscape.
Real Americans get educated. Real Americans participate in the governance of the country. Be one of those.
Read the first few links, just to prove to yourself there are bigger Internet-related issues that our politicians should be spending time on.

New waves of Indians and Chinese are taking America's business-school entrance exam, and that's causing a big problem for America's prospective M.B.A.s. Why? The foreign students are much better at the test.
Real Americans do not have to compete with foreigners. We are exceptional!
Every American should be given automatic entry into Business School. Americans get extra points if they can shoot straight, skin a bear, love Jesus, and Mom.
Obviously, Americans are experiencing some sort of reverse discrimination. Congress had best convene a special education committee.
Please do not waste any more of our tax dollars on education. Only 1% of Americans need to get learning above the grade school level. That was good enough for Great Grand Pappy!
OK, count to 10, if you can, and commence to laughing.
Wake up America. Stop wondering if there is a return on investment in a college education. The problem may be that we have not invested enough in our kid's elementary education.

TED Talks about US High School Dropout Rate
Nearly 100 workers at Ford Motor Co.'s Chicago Assembly Plant got an automated Friday phone message announcing that they had just been laid off.
This may feel like the equivalent of getting a breakup text message.
What it is not a good example of, is how to use technology to transform an organization.
Every worker got the message loud and clear.
Ford does not care about my family or me.
Most obviously, the Internet of Things has the power to profoundly change operations — that's where much of the coverage of this burgeoning network has focused. But companies should also be preparing for profound shifts in their competitive strategies as the IoT takes off. It will change the category you compete in, the products and services you sell, and how you market them, and even the talent you acquire.
The Internet of Things or IoT is just another technology fad! We do not have to change how we do business. We do not have to change our strategy.
Repeat 3 times, click your heels and return to 1960, when you were cool!
Three mini case studies from Lowes, Thermo Fisher Scientific and All Traffic Solutions suggests IoT is a business issue that, like most everything else today, has a technology component.
"It will change the category you compete in, the products and services you sell, and how you market them, and even the talent you acquire."
I have to agree with Brian Solis. Disruptive technology is catalyst for change, not the reason (http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/04/09/facebook-twitter-pinterest-iphone-brian-solis/2066955/)
Business, society and people are evolving, as usual. Adapt or die.

Top 14+ key elements in reducing resistance to change - change management. Reducing employee resistance to change - Torben Rick
The idea that fears are a huge problem during organizational change is only half of the story.
Fear is only there to make us aware that we need to pay attention. It does not mean stop!
Good change leaders take psychology and neuroscience into account. Note there are at least two choices.
Fear triggers the fight or flight response.
There may be the impulse to run away or to try to ignore the need to change and to keep doing what you always did.
A good leader knows that there is also opportunity in fear. Employees may be motivated to pay attention and fight to get to a new destination.
Fear of the unknown makes some people run and hide. It makes others into leaders.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." HP Lovecraft, via @torbenrick

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler wants to open the pay-TV industry to technology companies. Wheeler [has] proposed expanding the definition of a pay-TV distributor to include companies that transmit TV programming via the Internet. The move should give tech companies access to some of the most popular channels in television.
Consumers, be prepared for more choices on how to buy your TV services. It may not be any cheaper though.
Labor brokers providing Indian high-tech workers to American companies have hijacked a professional visa program, creating an underground system of financial bondage by stealing wages and benefits, even suing workers who quit.
Why does Techsploitation matter to US employers?
If substantiated, these charges represent a large hidden cost to the productivity at American firms that use outsourced labor.
Workers who are distracted by fighting lawsuits, or working under duress will turn out substandard results.
That increases the odds of cost overrun, unhappy customers and loss of repeat business.
If implicated in visa fraud lawsuits, host companies may lose time and money defending themselves. There can be substantial cost, whether your company is innocent or guilty.
WikiLeaks has taken an interest and uncovered documentation of inflated work experience. Simply, you may not be getting what you are paying for.
The backlash from displaced Americans who lost jobs to outsourcing could hit stakeholders at many levels.
I am sure there are other potential issues attached, but I am not writing a book here.
Whether you do your due diligence and due care is your business. Your company's exposure depends on multiple factors.
America's immigration system has been broken for years. Do not assign any political motivations to this post.
Let me be clear. I believe members of every political party have broken the visa system. Our politicians have forgotten for whom they work.
I have nothing against outsourcing or the companies that employ or hire such resources. In fact, I have been an outsourced employee.
This is simply business, risk and opportunity.

As business practices evolve, along with technology, older folks are at risk if they do not adapt.
By doing the same thing they have always done they accept risk without realizing it. Some of the results are sad.
An active mind keeps us young. Choose young!
You're traveling down the highway with the road flashing by beneath your feet and the scenery looming everywhere—fore and aft, left and right, above and below. Gone are the usual blind spots created by your vehicle's doors, window frames, roof, and floor. You're as free as a bird and just as aware of your surroundings.
Watch this! New technology is driving transparency to a whole new level.
Instead of grouping all the people-related activities together under HR, businesses should organize them according to types of service provided — and move a couple of them to other functions altogether. Splitting the function into two doesn't go far enough.
There is too much focus on efficiency or cost cutting in HR. This maintains a support role mindset.
Until HR changes how it behaves it is unlikely top management will see the department as a strategic role.
HR has to become more effective at what the business wants and sees value in.
If your biggest customer fails to see your value, you have a problem. Perception is reality.
"Since streaming sites and rogue torrent sites make it easy for any teenager to access millions of songs for free, it comes as no surprise that young people, who are the music industry's core consumer, are not paying for physical or digital singles or albums," says veteran music lawyer Bernie Resnick. "Without the support of the most important segment of the customer base, it becomes extremely difficult to sell enough units to qualify for gold or platinum sales awards."
The music industry once disrupted society. Music still does. It always has supported and disrupted.
Seeking to limit music is like trying to control the flow of water. For a time you may be successful but water always finds a way. Music is a feeling as much as a product.
Executives sought to control the means of production and distribution. A lot of money spent on copy protections only tried to make fans feel like criminals. These attempts to outsmart tech savvy teenagers failed.
One result that seems to have surprised these executives is that their tired, old strategy has been voted off the island. No one saw that coming!
Times change and society changes. Sales certainly have changed.
Mourning metrics, that focus on physical sales only highlights how out of touch these executives are.
Guaranteed the people lowest on their own organization charts could have told the C-Suite how easy it was to get past their controls. As in any business, bad controls are bad business.
The music and print publishing industries need to disrupt their old behaviors.
Put those considerable resources into developing a new direction for your industry.

I am not against targeted ads. They can be useful and effective.
If people do not recognize what is going on, it may divide people too far.
What do YOU think?
The day of the session in France, my actions were guided by the lessons I had learned from many successful years of training in the U.S. I started by getting right to the point, introducing strategies, practical examples, and next steps. But the group did not seem to be responding as usual.
Not everyone thinks like Americans. Do your research. Know your audience. Get there early. Listen. Adapt yourself. Do not expect the audience will change how they think to accommodate you. Do not forget to have fun.

Strategy has shrunk. For many firms and even for some prominent strategy consultants, the concept is now nothing more than "just-in-time decision making" or "a few critical initiatives" or other variations on "adaptability."
Abandoning strategy is a fool's errand.
Volatility, or an increased level and rate of change does not negate the need for strategy.
Investors, customers and employees will not trust an organization that changes direction based on the latest whim or new marketing study.
Yes, there are many changes going on in our personal lives, society and organizations. There are many factors driving change, including technology. None of those factors is new.
No, change is not unique to our generation.
Granted, the speed of communication is far greater than ever before. There is also an uptick in global commerce. Still, these are not new. The ability to deal with these changes has also evolved.
Go talk to your grandparents. Listen to their stories.
There are still people alive today who were born before World War II or the Depression. Some were born into families that farmed the land, with horse and plow not huge tractors and combines. Some were born in houses without internal plumbing or electricity.
Try to grasp the transformations that the World has seen in their lifetime. Huge change, affecting the World and ordinary lives will be part of their story.
A short time ago, Americans were striving just to feed themselves and their families. There was a global financial crisis. There was also a drought. It forced families to leave their land, watch their investments in livestock wither and die. We struggled with immigration and religion. Some people were convinced the World was ending. Now, tell me again about how there is so much change today.
Organizations and people have always done better when they have something to strive for.
Strategy has shrunk to a set of annual plans and budgets at many companies. That does not make it right.
Read the annual reports from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or Facebook. All of these hugely successful corporations have strategies. Despite the snippets reported in the tabloids and blogs, they all have corporate and business strategies.
I know. You are not one of those monolithic corporations. Without knowing, and being able to communicate or sell others on following where you want to go, it is likely that you never will be.

It seems it's been a long time since Brian Moynihan was President Obama's favorite banker.
Now the Bank of America CEO and Obama can expect to have their names in close association again following news Tuesday the president will speak at the Charlotte NFL stadium to close the 2012 Democratic National Convention. The rest of the convention will be staged at Time Warner Cable Arena several blocks away.
Democratic organizers say the president will be able to speak to more everyday citizens at Bank of America Stadium, rather than just delegates and large donors. The arena seats 19,000, compared with the stadium's 74,000.
While Obama and Moynihan seemed to be on good terms a couple of years ago, more recently the president ripped the bank for its ill-fated attempt to hike debit-card fees.
Organizers and other Democrats said Tuesday they have no concerns about links between the president and a Bank of America-named venue.
"We don't believe there's any relevance to who the sponsor or the naming rights are handled by to any of the venues that we host convention events in," said Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee. "In particular, this president has a remarkable record not only of rescuing our economy from the precipice of disaster. Now he's been able to make sure that folks on Main Street aren't run over by folks on Wall Street."
Wasserman Schultz was referring to the president's creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2010, part of the Dodd-Frank Act.

OverpricedPosted on 07 / 17 / 2014
My friend and I came here for dinner, as it was in the vicinity of the National Gallery, which we had just been visiting late. On arrival, we chose to be seated in the lower, more dimly lit part of the dining area, which we then discovered had rather imposing lounge music being played by a band. Looking at the menu, we found the prices a little higher than we'd want, but decided to see what the food was like. For starters I ordered the bruschetta (£4.50), which was fine but not exciting. My friend ordered the soup (as she is wont to do when eating out), which was bean and cauliflower and she found it "pleasant." We also ordered beer which never arrived. For the main I had the Haggis Moneybag, which was vegan haggis encased in filo pastry. The haggis had a nutty texture and was quite dry, yet I was disinclined to use the accompanying sauce, which was a bit like what I can only describe as a thin, slightly fruity gravy. (I know it wasn't that but it tasted like that.) Kindly enough, the staff had agreed to substitute potato wedges for the potato and carrot mash. My friend had ordered the medium salad plate with three salads (£5.95) and was somewhat disappointed when presented with a smallish bowl of salad dominated by rice (from the tamari rice salad) and few vegetables. Likewise I found the portion size of my meal underwhelming for the price (£11.95). We did carry on to have dessert and both ordered the vegan cheesecake with vegan ice cream (£5.75). Unfortunately rather than a nicely set, sharply flavoured filling with a fruity topping, there was a mousse-like filling with all the fruit thrown in with it. Not brilliant. For this price I'm not sure we'd be back in a hurry.
Cons: Overpriced for the quality, portion size

When Things Go Wrong, Admit Mistakes
At least 40% of physician leaders surveyed in the HealthLeaders Media 2011 Intelligence Survey say fear of lawsuits is a major influence regarding their decisions to order tests or procedures. More than 60% of physicians age 55 and older have been sued at least once, according to the American Medical Association.
The AMA and dozens of other medical groups are pressing the Joint Congressional Committee on Deficit Reduction for a legislative package that includes a medical liability reform element. The physician groups want the committee to consider a "reasonable limit on non-economic damages" that would reduce the federal budget by $62.4 billion over the next 10 years, as the Congressional Budget Office calculates it.
While the political debate continues over medical liability, McDonald and the University of Illinois Medical Center show some improvements can be done, one step at a time, within hospital systems themselves.
After Ballog died, McDonald and his staff told the family uncomfortable details of what had happened. The Chicago Tribune reported that monitoring errors were made when she was placed under anesthesia and surgery, and that her parents were stunned that her death was caused by preventable errors that they didn't know about at first.
The hospital eased the family's concerns by being upfront. When the nurse wrote the text message, it was part of the hospital's "hotline" action plan for adverse events for which the hospital could be at fault.
"We maintained trust with (the family) and communicated throughout," McDonald says. Referring to the medical errors, "I would tell you, nobody behaved recklessly, and it was all mistakes and lapses that the entire team made which, truth be told, the institution could have been a little more on top of," he said.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
David Joyce MD MBA (10/13/2011 at 4:37 PM)
So let's hear about the bottom up continuous process improvement initiative that they have developed and how it has reduced errors. It is likely that there is none. Did having an anesthesia fix a problem, how prevalent was the problem, what was the root cause? They have a great committee to communicate when there is a problem but I would bet there isn't a single process improvement project led by those actually doing the work. Why, those who do the work do not have the business skills to improve.

November 27, 2014
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Philippine ambassador says one of the men critically burned in an offshore oil platform fire has died in Louisiana.
The ambassador, Jose L. Cuisia Jr., says in a news release that 49-year-old Avelino Tajonera died Friday, shortly after his wife and three children arrived from Manila.
Three other men remain hospitalized. The ambassador says their families are in Baton Rouge.
The explosion and fire Nov. 16 also killed 42-year-old Ellroy Corporal, whose body was found in the waters nearby. The search for another man, 28-year-old Jerome Malagapo, was called off.
The embassy quotes Consul General Herrera-Lim as saying three Filipino workers who survived the fire are back in Manila after giving statements to federal authorities investigating the fire.

ALL of our Air Suspension Conversion Kits, for the exception of our "Economy" line kit, have a Lifetime Warranty! All warranties are for the original purchaser and are nontransferable. Warranty is for part replacement only and DOES NOT include labor. While the coil springs, mounts & such are covered for life, the struts and/or shocks are not(don't be fooled by the lies of other companies), as they are a wear item and just like tires, brakes, clutches, etc., they will need to be replaced in time. Replacement shocks/struts can be purchased separately from American Air Suspension later on if the need arises.
Want some of your hard earned Ca$h back?
We're interested in your old compressor & dryer assembly, as well as the solenoids(mounted on each air spring). The parts don't have to work, but must be O.E.M., not taken apart, with no outside physical parts broken and/or cut wires.
How much is the old parts worth? The compressor AND dryer is worth $25 together, while each solenoid is worth $5. Keep in mind that you will NOT get full price if the dryer is not sent with the compressor. Btw, we will not buy back any modified compressors or dryers.
Who pays for the shipping? Initially, you do and if you use a Flat Rate Box from the postal service, it'll cost you approx. $13. When we receive the parts, we'll credit your credit card you used for the original purchase, as well as the usable parts. Btw, you can use any carrier you wish, but we will only reimburse a maximum of $13.
How the shipping works? I would recommend going to your local post office and getting a Free "Medium Flat Rate Box". Put the Compressor AND Dryer, as well as any solenoids you have, in the box. Pack the rest with paper or something to keep the parts from destroying themselves on the way. Keep in mind, the money you receive has allot to do with what "we receive". If we open the box and something is physically broken, we can't give you full price on that part.

Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Conversion with Sensatrac Shocks
? Hot Weather:ALL air compressor produce moisture, no matter the size. Bigger air compressor like whats in an auto repair shop or in most shade-tree mechanics garages, fuel air tools, blow sawdust and air up tires. Although the bigger compressors produce more moisture than a smaller one, the bigger compressor with a tank also has a way to easily drain the moisture from the system.Most people don't realize that an automotive air suspension system is just like an air compressor in their garage with one big difference between them. Because of all the low lying air lines and other parts(air springs - air struts) in the vehicle, there is no way to easily drain moisture out of the system. A
1998,1999,2000,2001,2002 Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Conversion with Sensatrac Shocks
With Premium Coil Springs, there is no difference in ride quality no matter how hot it gets!You've heard automobile air suspension systems have a dryer that absorbs the moisture? That is true, but keep in mind 2 things. #1) Having a dryer right off the air source is at best only 95% effective. The reason for this is because a rule of thumb when working with pneumatics, is to have the dryer or collector a good 6 feet from the source. This is to allow the hot moisture filled air, time to cool a bit where the dryer can grab it. Not allowing it to cool down a tad makes the whole drying system not as effective, because the moist hot air will blow right past the dryer. Short term(when the vehicle is new), you'll never have this problem, because the new dryer has collected most of the moisture and not enough moisture has collected in the system to cause problems.#2) The dealer won't tell you this, but because they want you to keep buying air suspension parts and to come line their pockets later on when your out of warranty, but most dryers used on these automobile systems only have a lifespan of 4-5 years. After this time has passed, the dryer pretty much turns into a collection point. In other words, instead of the moisture gel beads inside the dryer collecting the incoming moisture, the moisture is now just collecting in the dryer.....just sitting there. The moisture then plays a see-saw game of going back & forth from inside the lines & air springs - struts & back to the compressor. It makes its way back to the air suspension compressor, because most systems are designed to dry themselves by blowing air thats already in the system, back through the dryer & air suspension compressor. Whats bad about that? What happened to all that moisture that was built up and sitting in the dryer? That's right, its now being forced....by high air pressure....through the compressor! These air suspension compressor generally have an estimated 40% duty cycle, which is considered light duty in most cases. They are designed from the factory to run bone dry and will be permanently damaged from ANY moisture.What makes these facts even worse? If an air suspension compressor produces moisture normally anyway, what does it do when it has to run 2-10 times more because of a leak in the air springs? Answer: Its going to make 2-10 times more moisture than it would normally!In other words, even if you spend $400-$900(not including labor) for another air suspension compressor, the moisture that has collected in the rest of the system all those years, that's still in there, will quickly attack & overwhelm the new dryer and then damage the replacement air suspension compressor!How long the replacement compressor lasts greatly depends on 2 things:1: How much it has to run = If the leak(s) in the system was repaired.If the leak(s) were repaired, you may have a chance. If not, the 40% duty cycle air suspension compressor thats made to run 2-10 times more than it was designed, will continue to run constantly until the small plastic parts(all of them have 'em) inside them start to melt. Running constantly is also hard on bearings and even armatures, due to the increased amperage draw from swollen(from moisture) parts(rings) inside.2: How much moisture was in the system. Over the years, we've experienced new $500+ factory air suspension compressor damaged to the point of not working at all, in less than 1 months use....due to excessive moisture in the system alone!A

? With Premium Coil Springs & Brand Name Premium Struts, there is no difference in ride quality no matter how much moisture is in the air! Cold Weather: One reason air suspension problems seem to show their ugly heads when it gets cold on air suspension equipped vehicles, is because the rolling lobe type air springs used on these vehicles get harder and less pliable the colder it gets.The rubber air bladder on these air springs are only 2mm thick and can't seal themselves as effectively when the rubber is hard(cold).ANY business selling air suspension parts would make way more money if you stayed with the air, as you will continually buy parts for it.While the air suspension system doesn't produce much moisture in colder weather, the collected moisture in the system does hurt system performance. When the moisture that is in in the dryer drops below freezing, the dryer can easily become a solid block of ice, not allowing ANY air to travel in any direction! This means no load leveling when weight is added, but also not venting the air after the weight is removed! Say you were lucky enough to have the air suspension compressor squeeze enough air pressure past the solid block of ice in your 10+ year old dryer. You take your car and drop someone off. NOW, the system can't relieve all the extra air in the system and you drive around looking like a 4x4.A

"The woman is 'finished,'" Lippmann said of the collection's inspiration. "She's definitely a woman, not a little girl." To play off the textures and patterns of the clothes, Lippmann layered two nail polishes to create a neutral nail that flattered models of all skin tones. First, she adorned nails with Waking Up in Vegas, a creamy gray with blue undertones. Then, she added a coat of Fashion, a yellow-based taupe. Customizing the color for each model involved using thicker or thinner coats to complement their undertones; the key to getting it right lies in the cuticle. "If your cuticle looks red, brown, or darkened when a polish is applied, the color is wrong for you," Lippmann explained. "With this look, we can make it look great on everybody." 0 2 3 0 0 Read More 2012 Spring New York Fashion Week2012 Spring Fashion WeekCostello TagliapietraDeborah Lippmann Costello Tagliapietra New Fall 2014: Creatures, Chai, BCBG, Shoji 2/06 The No-Heat Waves You Can Create in 30 Minutes 2/06 Costello Tagliapietra Makes Us Want to Believe in Magic 2/06 Costello Tagliapietra Spring 2014 9/05/13 The Runway Nail Look You Can Shop Now From Costello Tagliapietra 9/05/13 Psycho Glamour With Swagger at Costello Tagliapietra 2/07/13 Frizzy Hair Is In at Costello Tagliapietra 9/06/12 Get chic with our daily newsletter Enjoy street style trends, runway looks, and the best in celeb beauty in your inbox.

Research on the ownership history, or provenance, of works of art is an important part of museum work. This research sheds light on the historical, social, and economic context in which a work of art was created and collected, as well as on the history of taste. While provenance research has long been ongoing at the Metropolitan Museum, a special effort has been made in the past few years to investigate the World War II–era provenance of European paintings in our collection. This effort has focused on works that were acquired after 1932 and created before 1946; that changed owners during these years; and that were—or could have been—in continental Europe at that time.
A time of great turmoil and upheaval, the years immediately before and during the war saw many paintings and other works of art come onto the international market, in some cases as the result of the Nazi looting of private collections. Though large numbers of seized works were subsequently restituted to their original owners or their heirs, or returned to the country from which they had been confiscated, some continued to appear on the art market and to make their way into other collections, both public and private. The purpose of the Provenance Research Project is to determine whether any paintings that have entered the Museum's collection since 1932 could have been seized or stolen by the Nazis and not subsequently restituted to their rightful owners.
Complete provenance of a given work of art, particularly one pre-dating the nineteenth century and the advent of the modern art market, is often difficult if not impossible to establish. Records of sale, particularly for paintings or objects that have not changed hands for several generations, frequently do not survive. Moreover, many private collectors buy and sell works anonymously through third parties, such as dealers or auction houses, which may or may not disclose the owner's identity. Finally, many nineteenth- and twentieth-century dealers and auction houses are no longer in business. In those cases, records are at best incompletely preserved, if not lost or destroyed. All these factors contribute to the gaps that commonly occur in a work of art's provenance. Such gaps do not signal that the work was looted or stolen, only that the complete ownership history cannot be reconstructed today.
In 2000 Philippe de Montebello, who was director of the Museum at the time, joined other museum directors in presenting testimony before the Presidential Commission on Holocaust Assets and discussing ways in which the museum community could make information on the provenance of paintings in their collections more widely available. The American Association of Museums (AAM) appointed a task force to formulate guidelines for museums to follow in posting their provenance data online. The task force included museum professionals as well as representatives of the Presidential Commission on Holocaust Assets and the Holocaust Claims Processing Office of the New York State Banking Department. It was decided that museums would provide online information about paintings and Judaica (such as menorahs, Torah pointers, and ceremonial objects) that were likely to have been in Europe during the years 1933 to 1945 and that have gaps in their provenance.
That same year, in 2000, the Museum began publishing images and provenance information online for relevant European paintings. In accordance with the AAM guidelines, we continue to conduct research and update our provenance records, and will do so until all European paintings and Judaica that meet the criteria noted above have been identified.
The Museum has made a special effort to investigate the World War II–era provenance of European paintings in our collection.
See The Collection Online for images and provenance information for relevant works of art.

Close But No Cigar
He wanted to be a thorn in the throat of Zionism:
Following his release from an Israeli prison two years ago, Moataz Hejazi, the terrorist suspected of shooting right-wing activist Yehuda Glick on Wednesday night, gave an interview to Palestinian TV Al Quds and was quoted as saying "I wish to be a thorn in the throat of the Zionist plan to Judaize Jerusalem."
Instead, he's not even gum (or worse) on the sole of their shoe:
The suspect police believed attempted to assassinate Rabbi Yehuda Glick outside the Menachem Begin Heritage Center Wednesday night was killed after exchanging gunfire with police at his east Jerusalem home Thursday morning.
"Counter-terrorism operations surrounded the house of the suspect, and as soon as officers took their positions they were fired upon by the him," said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. "Shots were immediately returned by police killing the suspect."
Rosenfeld said a subsequent raid of the suspect's home revealed evidence that he was indeed responsible for Glick's shooting.
I'm betting (praying) that Rabbi Glick is walking freely on the Temple Mount when whatshisface is long forgotten.
Alas, that day is not today:
After the shooting of Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick Wednesday night, police closed off the Temple Mount to both Jews and Arabs, for fear that mounting tensions between both sides would erupt into a full-fledged riot.
But witnesses Thursday said that the ban had apparently been partially lifted: Arab Muslims were observed on the Mount, but Jews are not being allowed to ascend.
On his way to the Mount Thursday was MK Moshe Feiglin (Likud), who was set to attempt to visit the Mount along with other MKs and activists.
PS: Glick is a dual Israeli-American citizen. Will the Obama administration demand an explanation from Abbas, as he did from the Israelis after they shot an Arab teen (with American citizenship) for throwing rocks or molotov cocktails?

UAE | Visa
Amnesty rush eases off at Asian embassies
Demand for out-passes has been lower than during 2007 pardon
- Image Credit: Hadrian Hernandez/Gulf News
- Amnesty seekers get their travel documents at the Embassy of Pakistan in Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates on Monday.
Abu Dhabi: As the amnesty declared by the UAE for illegal workers ends on Sunday, the number of Asian workers who have sought emergency certificates [out-passes] from their embassies has dropped in comparison to the previous amnesty in 2007.
Asians constitute the majority of the workforce in the UAE.
The Pakistani embassy in Abu Dhabi issued 5,867 emergency certificates to amnesty seekers — the highest number among Asian nations, followed by the Bangladesh and Indian missions — 4,500 and 2,600 respectively.
Amnesty seekers who are not in a position to produce their passports have to get the emergency certificates from their embassies or consulates to prove their nationality.
After the applicants receive out-passes from their respective embassy or consulate, the UAE immigration authorities issue an exit permit that allows them to leave the country, provided they had entered the UAE on a valid visa.
Those amnesty seekers who have a passport can directly approach the UAE immigration authorities to get the exit permit. Between December 4 and January 4, about 20,000 illegal residents from 106 nations approached the immigration authorities and more than 9,400 of them already left the country, the UAE Ministry of Interior announced on January 5. The updated figures were not available from the ministry.
The Pakistani embassy issued 5,867 emergency certificates as of Monday, January 28, said Jamil Ahmad Khan, the Pakistani ambassador. About 30,000 Pakistanis in the UAE had availed themselves of the amnesty in 2007 but, this year, the number will be less, Khan said.
The Bangladeshi embassy issued about 4,500 out-passes and the consulate in Dubai about 12,000 as of Sunday, said Mohammad Nazmul Quanine, Bangladesh's ambassador to the UAE. The total number of applicants may not cross 25,000 by the end of the deadline whereas 40,500 Bangladeshis availed of the amnesty in 2007 through the embassy and the consulate, the envoy said. A few thousands more might have directly approached the immigration authorities during the previous amnesty, he added.
The number of amnesty seekers from India, who constitute the largest expatriate community in the UAE, has gone down drastically compared to 2007, according to M.K Lokesh, India's ambassador to the UAE.
The Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi and the consulate in Dubai had issued 2,600 out-passes as of Sunday, Lokesh said. About 40,000 Indians took advantage of the 2007 amnesty, but the number this year will reach nowhere near that figure, he added.
The Philippine embassy in Abu Dhabi has issued about 1,571 out-passes as of January 27, said Grace Relucio Princessa, Philippine ambassador to the UAE.
The Sri Lankan embassy, despite repeated attempts, did not comment on the number of people who had approached it for out-passes.
The Indonesian and Nepalese embassies said they had received roughly the same number of out-pass applicants as during the previous amnesty. The Indonesian embassy issued about 850 out-passes as of February 27, said Salman Al Farisi, Indonesia's ambassador.
"Last time [2007], we issued about 1,000 out-passes and the number may reach the same this time," he said.
The Nepalese embassy issued 107 out-passes as of Sunday, said Deepak Adhikari, deputy head of the mission. He said the figure was not much different during the previous amnesty.

The only reason I gave it four rather than five stars is because the black paint on the "camera case" finish part of the bezel is very thin and fragile, so even a careless fingernail will take the paint off.

This is the bezel and the lens we're going to be installing in Weekend Wrench. The bezel has the correct color black textured finish with all the chrome appointments. It has the cutouts for the oil and alternator light, as well as the cutout for your odometer. The lens itself has the two bezels installed for your temp and fuel level gauge, and it also has the red lenses for oil and alternator.
For this installation, the only tool you'll need is a Phillips head screwdriver. If you're choosing to swap out your regulator, you'll also need a 1/4" ratchet, and a 1/4" socket.
We're going to start by removing these six screws that hold our cluster to our dash. We're going to unscrew our speedometer. Sometimes you can get it by hand. If not, you can put a small wrench on there. To remove the cluster from the car, all these wires are going to have to be disconnected from the back. A couple options here. One way, you can label each individual one and where it goes. To me, the easiest thing to do is take a couple of pictures with your cell phone to remember where everything goes. Now you can remove everything. While you have it apart, now's a good time to check all your bulbs to make sure there's nothing burned out, or if you're looking to replace them or even upgrade them.
Now we're going to disassemble our cluster to replace the bezel and the lens. While we're here, we're going to replace the constant voltage regulator, as well. This regulates voltage to your gauges to make them operate properly. If the gauges aren't working, many times this is the reason. Now we'll remove the six screws that hold the bezel to the cluster. We'll get the cluster off. Now you're going to remove the single screw that holds the retaining plate on. We'll use that with our new pieces, and we'll put the originals aside. We'll clean up this plate before we reinstall it. Now we're going to clean up the gauges a little bit, get some of the dust off it before we install our new bezel. While we're at it, our pointers are pretty faded, so we're going to touch that up a little bit as well. We're just going to spread a little bit of Quick Detailer on this brush. It'll streak when you put it on, but it'll dry nice and clean. I'm going to put something behind the pointer to keep it from getting onto the surface of the gauges.
Before we install the lens on the bezel, I want to install these anti-rattle pads so the lens doesn't rattle against the bezel when it's installed. The new ones are a little different design than the original, so you just want to place them anywhere where you think the bezel and lens would contact each other to stop it from rattling. We're going to install our new lens in the bezel, put it over the two mounting tabs and grab your retainer plate. Put these tabs on the outside for that. We're going to install the single screw that holds the plate to the lens. Now we're going to reinstall the cluster to our new bezel and lens. Again, just need to line up all the tabs. Anytime you're screwing into plastic, just make sure you don't over tighten. Just get them snug. And our cluster is ready for reassembly.
We're going to put a towel of some sort down on the steering column to protect the column's pain, and also protect the cluster from getting scratched. You want to access the pictures you took and start plugging everything back in. Once all of our connections are done, we're going to reconnect our speedometer. Once that's connected, we're ready to put it back into our dash.
It's amazing how a simple bezel change completely changes the look of our interior. Sitting in the driver's seat, it looks like we're driving a brand new car now. Installation should only take you around 30 to 45 minutes. You'll be back on the road in no time.

State Seeks To Prevent Falls By Older Ohioans
A state initiative to prevent falls by older Ohioans is aiming to warn shoppers of all ages what to look for and how to avoid falling hazards amid holiday shopping.
A downtown Columbus church will again feature the silhouette of Jesus familiar to nighttime drivers along the Interstate. A steel cutout that was used to cast the image on the front wall of Livingston United Methodist Church disappeared earlier this month. But the figure was found outside the building Tuesday morning.
Church secretary Jane Runkle says no one knows for sure when the figure was taken. But it had stood on a pedestal in front of the church for nearly 30 years.
"We had wondered if someone had taken it and sold it for scrap metal," Runkle says. "Which someone has said was worth less than $2. But the value to the people here is, you know, there's no amount of money you can put on it."
The figure was erected as a memorial to a boy who was struck by a car while riding his bicycle and killed. The figure is only about 3 feet high. But spotlighted, it casts a giant image of Jesus with his arms reaching out on the front of the church at night.
"To a lot of people it gives them peace. The open arms, you know he's welcoming people here," Runkle says. "We've had a lot of comments from people who have had children at Children's Hospital and they have said how much it has meant to them it's been kind of a calming effect on them seeing it."
"Church member Glen Rogers had already brought new hardware to the church Tuesday afternoon and was reinstalling the piece. This time, he says, it will be locked into place.
"Hopefully when I get done this will be the locking bar so that they won't be able to get him off," Rogers says.
Roger's wife Julie says the figure's nighttime shadow is known not only in Columbus but in other parts of the world. She's delighted she says, that it's been returned.
"Oh I think it's great," says Julie Rogers. "I think it's God's way of telling us we need to be here and we just need to go on."
"And this has just been a blessing to people. We've had letters from people who have just been traveling down the freeway and what it's meant to them. We're always known for it."
"Pastors in the United Methodist Church in Asia knew about this church and the shadow. So it's been a blessing for probably 30 years to this community and all over the world."
"We're just thankful that it's back. Very thankful."
