It's a day to be with family, to eat too much, and to reflect on all of those things and people in our lives for which we are grateful.
In my life there are so many: A loving family and dear friends…good health…living in relative peace and safety…never going hungry…being able to do work I love every day with clients who inspire me…and my growing e-letter and Blog community.
This week I'll take a break from my usual messages, lessons and stories and just simply say…
Have a great Thanksgiving!

There is nothing about Peter that suggests "salesman". His look is "regular guy". He dresses as his target market might hope for him to dress: in an off-the-rack blazer and slacks, sometimes spiffed up with a very conservative tie. He drives his Altima to appointments and keeps his Mercedes in his garage for weekend outings with his wife. He talks with authority, but plainly, and with only gentle urging for them to do the right thing, he helps clients make important life decisions over coffee and cake.
I once asked Peter to visit a workshop I was running for young financial professionals, so that he could share his words of wisdom.
"How have you become so successful?" one starry-eyed advisor asked him.
Peter's instant, one-word response was: "Persistence."
"I know it sounds too simple," he elaborated, "But that's it."
"I'm not smarter than anyone else, I just persist. I had the same problems you are having in the beginning. If you're doing the right activities, you just can't give up when things aren't going right. Each person you talk with has connections to other people who could use your help, and if you treat them right, they'll want those people to work with you, too. You can't give up just because you have setbacks."
Similarly, Calvin Coolidge is attributed with having said:
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
Last year, I worked briefly with Ken, an attorney, helping him to grow his practice. His target market was small businesses, and among the potential marketing strategies I suggested he could use to get more clients would be for him to host seminars.
"I tried seminars awhile ago," he told me, "And they just don't seem to work for me."
"Well…How many times did you try them?" I asked him.
"Just once," he responded, "And it was terrible."
"And you never tried again?" I asked.
"No…Why would I?" he responded.
Like Ken, most of us give up on a solid plan or strategy way too soon. Choose a path you believe will work and try it several times—hundreds of times if necessary. If you choose to do seminars, choose to do at least a few—learning as you go what works and what won't. If your target requires you to "cold call" other businesses as part of your marketing mix, plan on a certain number of calls every day for several weeks, again gauging what works and what won't. If what you're doing isn't working, try to figure out why, tweak it, and try again. Once you find something that works well, make it part of your regular activities—a system. If you can't make a certain activity work, move on to something else.
I love to help people get what they want by holding them accountable to stick to the strategies they're willing to try…that means, more than once. In more than one great effort, I encourage you to keep REACHING…

Whether you're marketing your services, trying to get a new job, or looking for a business partner, at some point, you'll be "selling" yourself or your products, whether you like it or not.
But if that thought scares you, take heart: It's less daunting than you may realize. Selling isn't the drift towards doom you're imagining. It's not about manipulating someone into falling down the rabbit hole with you, by getting him/her to buy something that you offer.
Selling is the asking of appropriate yet provocative questions such that your prospective client determines for his-/her- self that he/she needs what you offer.
I teach the professionals I coach that anything you can tell a client or prospect you can get him/her to tell you, if you ask the right questions. Contrary to what many of the great sales "Gurus" of the Twentieth Century were preaching, "closing" a sale is, usually, the least relevant part of the process. Closing can only be accomplished at the end of a series of good questions, with something like:
"So, should we try this out?"
"What do you think the next step is?"
"When would you like to begin?"
From the start, ask questions about consequences—questions that elicit emotions and unearth explicit problems—and you'll convince them early on in your conversation, by no crooked means, that they should be working with you:
"How do you feel about that?"
"Is it important?"
"What's important about it to you?"
"If we can fix that, how would that affect you in the long run?"
"How would you feel then?"
Then, and only then, can you can demonstrate your value (via your genuine engagement), properly ask for the "closing", and make the "sale".
Don't suppress your interest, and don't fear your approach of the "s" word. You won't descend into darkness if you simply ask, listen, and just keep REACHING…

"Can't your assistant help take some of the workload off your shoulders?" I asked.
"Right now," he responded, "I don't have an assistant. Terri, my former assistant, left four months ago, and I haven't had a chance to replace her," he continued.
"Have you scheduled the time to search for a replacement?" I queried.
"Well, no," came his reply.
I told Ron that he had just provided me with the perfect example of the distinction between wanting something to happen (a "WANT to") and choosing to do something about it (a "CHOOSE to").
"We WANT a lot of things," I explained. "I want to learn a language. I want to exercise every day. I want to give more of my time to more of my favorite charities…"
"But until those things are on my calendar," I continued, "It's clear that I'm not CHOOSING to put them into my life."
I explained to Ron that while he WANTED more time to think, plan, and play, he hadn't yet CHOSEN to calendar the search for a new assistant.
"The 'WANT to' is there," I told him, "But the 'CHOOSE to' isn't."
In the course of my life, I've talked with at least a hundred people who have been losing the same 20 pounds for nearly 20 years. I feel for them. There is no doubt they WANT to lose their extra weight, but for many, that want never seems to rise to the level of a powerful decision or choice to let nothing stand in their way. They join programs and then slowly work their way out of them. They monitor their food habits for weeks, but eventually stop. And they're frustrated because nothing seems to work. Like Ron, they walk around unhappy and tell the story of how they can't get what they want.
To be happy, they either need to choose to make what it is they want happen, or decide that it's okay not to have it. If English is my only skilled language, I guess I could live with that. If the unsuccessful dieters can stop beating themselves up and just accept that they enjoy their lives at the weights they're at, they will be happier! And if Ron could accept that he will never have time to think, nor plan, nor play, he might be happier, too…
Or…Ron can schedule time to recruit and train a new assistant, I can schedule language lessons, and those who want to shed tummy-pounds can find, start, and stick to a weight-loss program that's right for them, once and for all.
It isn't always easy, but it's always up to you how firmly you'll commit to attaining your goals. Sometimes, it's as simple as taking the time to find expert help with the stuff that feels impossible. Want something to change? Choose to change it at all costs. Put it on your calendar. Enroll in a program. Seek advice. No matter how challenging, persist until you achieve it. Keep REACHING…

I'm not saying that we're all duds now, nor that we all had perfect IQs back then. I'm referring to "genius" as that special spark or talent—in anything—that's far beyond the norm we've come to accept. One of Webster's definitions for genius is a person with "a peculiar, distinctive, or identifying character or spirit."
If you have a child—or niece, or nephew, or grandchild—who is two to four years old, you know that yours is a genius; but in a way, all of them are—and, most likely, you were one, too.
Maybe your genius had something to do with art. You could see dozens of people and places in the green crayon swirl you worked so passionately to create. Or, maybe yours had to do with flowers. You spoke to them, and they spoke back and told you their troubles, and you helped them grow. Or, maybe it was about insects. You catalogued thousands of them using your own proprietary system. But somewhere along the line, you became socialized. You learned that what you were a genius at was not very relevant at all.
Imagine Miss Crabtree, gathering her kindergarten class for story time:
"Albert! Stop watching how the light moves through the window to the floor. It's story time right now. Please, join the circle…Wolfgang, you too! Stop ringing those different sized toys against the desk to see how they sound…What's that Pablo? Yes, that's a very nice picture of…your mother and father? Oh, it's just your mother…Very good, but next time, try to give her just one face."
So, we grew up to become accountants, advisors, lawyers, managers, and consultants, going through our adult lives with a feeling that we've forgotten something. And, of course, we have. We've forgotten that we were geniuses—or even what we were geniuses at.
Once in awhile, though, there's a glimmer of recognition—and somewhere deep inside, we do remember. Oddly enough, instead of embracing whatever it was that made us geniuses, we push it out of our minds. We're afraid that allowing it in, at this point, will somehow disrupt our lives.
The next time you feel that spark, though, do something wonderful—and unusual—for yourself. When that flash of recognition is triggered, take some small step toward embracing your childlike genius. Buy that telescope, or that guitar, or those oil paints, and play with them. Maybe you won't be an Einstein or a Mozart or a Picasso, but you might find some joy and fulfillment that you've been missing.
In the meantime, bring the spirit of play to your work, and keep REACHING…

I asked Erin about her practice. "How many clients—households—however you measure it, do you have now?"
"About 300," she advised. "A few are what I would consider clients, but most are really just one-time 'customers'."
"Then you don't really need to learn new prospecting strategies at all," I suggested. "What you need is to turn some of those customers into real clients and some of the ones who are already clients into fiercely loyal advocates."
Most sales training programs for professionals are based on the theory that sales is a "numbers game" and nothing more. While the quantity of people you reach out to is important, the quality of your contacts is equally—or more—important.
If our work is really finding a lead, making a sale, and then going to look for another lead to make another sale, then going to look for another…and so on, it can be exhausting. We're starting at the beginning every time.
Leveraging existing relationships is a more efficient, more powerful way to grow any service business. Leveraging involves two actions: (1) Finding more ways to serve existing customers and clients, and (2) Being referred to new clients, through them.
"If I went through your notes or 'fact finders' on all of the people you've identified, would I think of things that you could offer them, that you haven't yet?" I asked Erin.
"Probably," came her honest response.
"Would that be true even of the ones you've identified as real clients?" I continued.
"Actually…it was them I was thinking of," she replied.
"What stands in the way of your approaching them to talk about some of those things you haven't talked about?"
"Nothing, I guess."
We then went through and discussed each client she identified as being in her "Top 20". Several of them hadn't heard from her in months—or, in a couple of cases, more than a year. Here's what we agreed upon:
1. Finding more ways to serve existing customers and clients. She'd start with the clients she'd most want to replicate and truly serve them. This means making sure that anything they might need that she is equipped to provide must be discussed. They can, of course, choose not to take her advice, but she wouldn't be serving them by avoiding or forgetting to cover those topics or products.
Truly serving them also would mean that she'd refer them to other professionals in her network to meet needs that she herself is not equipped to help with—even if she'd make no money from it. Unsolicited referrals will start to come in from existing clients the more you position yourself as the "expert" in all of their needs. And it won't be coincidental that as you refer your clients to other professionals, you will begin to receive referrals from those professionals, also.
2. Being referred to new clients through them. When Erin thinks she's done everything she can for them, she'll have to confirm that…with them. She'll need to let them articulate to her how great her service is and ask them if she can similarly help someone else in their lives.
Her first step in getting referrals is to EARN them. When that's done, she ought to tell clients she has the time to add to her roster someone they care about who might not be getting the same level of service elsewhere. The odds are good that in most cases, someone will come to mind.
"Figure out how many appointments you want to keep each week," I told Erin, "And when you don't have enough prospects through the methods you're already using, fill those meeting slots with service to your existing clients and requests for referrals."
Serve your existing clients by providing quality in every way you can. Then talk with them about helping their business associates, friends, and family members. Leverage your best, and keep REACHING…

It's the story of a farmer and his wife who decide to buy each other a photo session with a professional photographer for their anniversary. The fun begins when the photographer comes and the couple can't decide what to wear, where to sit, or what to include in the picture. The farmer ends up wearing his new shoes on his feet while showing off his old shoes on his ears with arms full of farm produce. His wife wears both of her hats, brings all of her pets, and stuffs her hands and pockets with kitchen and gardening utensils.
Each time the couple decides to add something to the picture, the photographer warns, "Simple pictures are best!" But the couple continues to ignore him and assembles everything they can into the picture. Finally, the commotion causes their bull to charge at the photographer, and the only picture taken that day…is of the bull.
Recently, I worked with Ryan, a client whose company provides computer graphics packages to financial services companies. Ryan was running two huge, expensive half-page ads weekly in a local paper with a broad-based readership.
"How much business do these ads generate?" I asked him.
"I don't know," was his reply.
It turned out that he had been running these ads for years, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars over time, but had never asked his new clients how they found out about his company, and had never asked existing clients whether they had even seen the ads.
"If you don't know whether there's any benefit to running these ads," I asked him, "Why do you keep running them?"
His real answer took several minutes to get to. He told me about how he had started these ad campaigns along with several other very broad marketing efforts years before. He also disclosed that he was still paying for a lot of other advertising and marketing efforts, without knowing whether any of them were working.
I thought of the farmer with the shoes on his ears and his feet and arms full of produce.
"Simple pictures are best," I said to Ryan.
Science often adheres to Occam's Razor, a theory which tells us that when there are several competing explanations for something, the simplest explanation is probably the right one. More or less, it says, "The simplest of all possible solutions is preferable."
Similarly, the "Simple Pictures" rule tells us that if you have a practice you're looking to grow, the simplest marketing picture is probably best:
1. Be very clear on your target.
2. Choose strategies that are designed to reach that very clear target.
3. Test to see whether and to what extent those strategies are working.
4. Keep using the ones that work until you have the kind of business or practice you want!
Another principle I like to fall back on is K.I.S.S.
Create a simple picture that works for you. If you want to climb high…get a ladder, and then, keep REACHING…

Weekend Distraction: How Smart is your Smartphone?

Saving Favorites in Safari with iOS 8
Safari changed a bit in iOS7 and a bit more in iOS8. Not a lot, but enough to mention, here.
When you bring up a web page on Safari, and you would like to save it as a favorite, there is a really easy (visual) way to do this…… but it's kind of hidden.
So let's go and find it. :)
Let's start by using Safari to bring up a website that you would like to save.
Here I have summoned the website for one of my favorite podcasts, A Way with Words.
To save it as a favorite, just touch the search bar, again. Suddenly, you will see several "squares" representing the websites that your iPhone thought you might like favorited, like Disney and ESPN.
Now, pull DOWN on the page. Two hidden buttons appear, "Add to Favorites" and "Request Desktop Site."
Tap on "Add to Favorites" and your website will be saved with its own little square icon, as you can see, here.
(The other option allows you to view the regular desktop site instead of the abbreviated mobile one.)
If you need to delete a "Favorite" in the future (or delete the "favorites" that Apple chose for you), just tap and hold a square. "Delete" will appear above the square as an action-option. Now touch "delete" and the square-favorite vanishes. Poof! Gone!

App Bundles Save $$$
With iOS8, you can now download a bundle of apps from the same developer at a bargain price.
They have apps bundles, games bundles and kids bundles. Simply put, a group of cookbooks is cheaper than buying them each separately.
Here is a screen shot of the "Where's My Puzzle Pack" bundle.
To take a look at all the bundles that are available, just head over to the app store, where you will find "Bundles" featured on their front page.

My Impressions After One Full Month with my iPhone 6 PLUS
It's big. (I think I may have mentioned that before :) )
and …
it's big.
I will admit, when I first got it, I felt a little "off" with it. The phone is so much larger than my last one, that I questioned its portability. I am a person who keeps my phone with me at all times, and this was a legitimate concern.
But after a month of full-time use, I'm happy to report that it fits in all of my regular pockets. My sweatpants, my mom jeans, my jackets and assorted other pocketed clothing all include pockets that are able to easily accommodate this super-sized phone. (so sorry to use the word "pockets" so much. I racked my brain, but could not find a suitable synonym. Pockets pockets pockets.)
In the beginning, as I said, it felt a bit odd. One month later…… not at all. I absolutely love it.
The screen is stunningly beautiful. Everything is clear and sharp and easy to see. Following my blue dot on a map is so much easier, obviously, with a bigger screen.
I have found myself using the phone more often for googling and other internet searching. In the past, I would turn to the internet only if I "had" to when I was out and about. But with this phone, I find myself doing it more, and sometimes even searching on the phone from home, just because it's so handy, even though I could go to a real screen on my notebook computer. The bigger phone makes it that much easier to see and search.
And READ. You can read on this phone. It is just big enough to make reading comfortable on the device. I'm not just talking about books… but websites as well. I NEVER looked at websites on my smaller phones. But on the iPhone Plus, website-browsing is possible.
And this was a surprise: easy link-touching. On the smaller phone, I would always have to zoom and wiggle a bit so that my finger could appropriately touch and 'work' a link. On this PLUS phone, my fingers and the links match perfectly, and I navigate around without any awkwardness.
I've had absolutely no issues with the operating system.
The touch id was new to me, because it was not available until the 5S (my last phone was a 5). It took me a little bit of time to get used to it, but now I find it seamlessly perfect, just a fraction of a second pause and my phone unlocks to my touch. (Unless I've recently gotten out of the shower. I have learned that wet, prune-like fingerprints are not a match to dry ones. :) )
If there is ONE thing I DON'T like on this phone, it is the location of the sleep/wake button. They moved it over on the side. When I squeeze it, I find that I am simultaneously squeezing the volume buttons on the opposite side … not good. And the side sleep/wake button also makes it a little trickier to do screen shots. Clearly this is not a deal-breaker, but I am still fumbling with that
I wish they hadn't button move.
It takes great pictures, but of course, that is nothing new. Look at this lovely sunset that I grabbed through my bedroom window one evening last week.
and again, a few minutes later, as the colors changed ……
All in all….. I'm delighted with my choice of the PLUS phone. Once I get the case that I've enjoyed for years on my previous phone (the manufacturer has been slow on the making of this size case) … I'll have the just-about perfect phone for me.

Weekend Distraction: Peggle
I can't believe that I've been blogging for several years now, and have never mentioned Peggle!
Peggle is a wonderful mix of "fun" plus "addictive-enjoyment" plus "challenging-but-not-too-challenging" plus (again) "fun".
Not much of a learning curve. The basic premise: you release a ball and it bounces around on the screen, bumping into dots of various colors. Your job is to aim that ball as it is released in a way that will maximize its collision with orange dots. Your main goal is to clear the screen of orange dots before you run out of balls.
There will be a few obstacles tossed your way (of course). But you'll learn as you go.
When you start, you have a choice of several different "modes" of play. I recommend "Adventure" as this will move you along gradually, screen to screen, learning as you go.
It really is addictive fun. There is something rather hypnotic watching that ball bounce around on the screen.
Here are two random screen shots. The arrangement of dots will change with each screen, and sometimes some of them are moving targets.
Peggle is 99¢ in the iTunes store

Spotlight improved in iOS 8
There are so many new features in iOS 8, it will take us a long time with our one-at-a-time approach to work our way through them all! But honestly, when I read articles like "35 things you need to know RIGHT NOW" or "100 little known features…blah blah blah", well, I get overwhelmed.
So I'm keeping my turtle pace, even tho we have a lot of territory to cover. Baby steps.
Next up: Spotlight.
Spotlight USED to be a feature where you could do a search on your device (only). I originally thought that was silly, but over time, I've found it useful to find an app buried in a folder. (I created those folders to organize and find stuff easily, but that seems to have backfired.)
In iOS 8, Spotlight has been improved. It will now not only search your device, but also the internet. And so … if I search "Enya" on my phone, the search will turn up music that lives on my phone and also a link to a Wikipedia article about her (which is NOT on my phone… that's on the internet.)
To access Spotlight, go to your home screen (a page full of icons). Now, pull down on your screen from the top of your device. Stay ON THE SCREEN as you pull down. If your finger goes higher onto the white or black surface of your phone, you'll get a different delight. Put your finger between some icons near the top and pull down.
You'll see a screen that looks like this. The new Spotlight.
Below is a screen grab of the results after I searched for the word "card", looking for the card game I use to play Free Cell. Notice here that not only did it find the app for me, but it also found "card" in my contacts for a cardiology doc, it suggested the St Louis Cardinals as something I might find interesting (that's a stretch…. I don't live anywhere near there, so ..?? ) and the search also brought up emails and messages that included the word "card."
Now, all of this is rather useless information if I'm just looking for an app, but I can certainly understand that situations arise where this broader search is necessary.
So if you are a person who wants all this extra stuff, you're in luck. But if you DON'T (and that means me), you have the option to turn it all off.
Go to General > Spotlight Search
There you will see a screen like the one below. Notice all of the things that are checked to search!!! That happens by default, so if you don't want them, you have to deselect them.
As soon as I publish this post, I have some "de-selecting" to do. :)

Somehow, my sweet daughter-in-law must have offended Siri
I didn't think it was possible. I thought Siri stood by you at all times.
Apparently not.
My daughter-in-law is running iOS 7.1.2 on her phone. That's not so old. (my husband is still using 6)
Today she asked for Siri's help in finding a location.
Did Siri jump to her rescue as usual? NO!!!
Siri (gasp!) REFUSED to help.
Yes. Refused.
Here is a screen shot of Siri's snippy answer:
Carmen tried asking again, and got the same answer. :shock:
She's not sure what happened to their relationship, since Siri has always been so helpful to her.
(I think she's planning to send Siri a picture of flowers to make up.)
I tried asking Siri a question on my husband's iPhone running iOS 6. Siri answered me each time.
Anyone else having relationship issues with Siri?

How to Send a Voice Message in iOS 8
iOS8 has brought lots of changes. Several of these
changes improvements are to the Messages app.
We have already discussed the new answer-from-the-banner ability.
Another new feature is Voice-messaging to other iMessage users. In other words, this feature is an iOS to iOS ability only. If anyone learns that it works from iPhone to Android, please let me know.
Notice that next to the typing space, the "send" has been replaced by a little microphone.
Here is how to send a VOICE message in iOS8:
When you get ready to compose your message, instead of typing, put your finger on the microphone to the right of the message space.
As you press the icon (keep your finger on it) you can record your message.
When you are done, lift your finger up to listen to the recording. To send it, tap on the arrow. To delete it, tap on the X.
If you want to use this feature, I suggest you practice a little bit. It sends quickly and if you make an error, you can't get it back…… so use with caution. :shock: :)

Weekend Distraction: Spooky Box
Halloween is fast approaching and if you participate in all the spookiness, you might find this app to be very helpful.
It is FREE and full of creepy scary noises.
There are lots of haunting favorites, including cackling witches, deep ghostly laughs, spooky forests, roaring monsters and creepy organ music.
You get three pages of … eeeek! (and advertisements at the top to ignore)
And you can play with these sounds, a bit, too. You can press a single button for a brief scary-something, or you can choose to LOOP the noise and keep it going. By doing this you can customize the creepiness. :shock:
For instance, I played a little of the "horror organ" and added a "female scream". A recipe for: GASP!
Hooked up to a speaker, these noises could be a lot of fun for a party or just plain fun. You never know when you might need a ghostly wail. :) This brings back memories of setting up a spooky house for tricker-treaters oh-so-long-ago and getting scolded for being "too scary" (remember that, Trudi?)
Spooky Box is FREE in the iTunes store.

Ace Info argues that the agency misevaluated its proposal and, as a result, failed to award the firm one of the three small business awards contemplated by the solicitation.

Stampede Put Up 6 in Victory Over Tri-City
December 21, 2012 11:16 PM
Sioux Falls, SD--A 2-1 first period deficit wouldn't prove to be the end of the world as the Stampede came together for three goals in the second en route to a 6-3 victory over the Tri-City Storm Friday night at the Arena. First-year winger Tony Calderone snapped a four game scoreless streak with three points (2 G, 1 A) for the Herd, who remained in first place in the West with the victory.
"I've had some some bad luck," said Calderone, a future Princeton Tiger. "I'm just trying to hit the open net and I was able to hit them tonight."
Sam Rothstein, Dennis Kravchenko and Thomas Forgione also put the puck in the net for Sioux Falls (17-8-1) with goaltender Charlie Lindgren prevented 21 of 24 shots from the Storm (12-13-2).
Sioux Falls took little time getting reacquainted with their home environment, grabbing the game's first goal 3:47 into the opening period thanks to center Sam Rothstein. The Minnetonka, Minn. native squeezed a rebounded puck in between the goal post and Mattsson's glove, giving the Herd a quick 1-0 advantage. However, any momentum Sioux Falls was holding onto was vanquished by two Storm scores late in the period, the first a lightning-fast wrist shot from the left circle via Trevor Moore at 16:14. Grant Opperman doubled his team's goal total during the Storm's second power play, giving his team a 2-1 lead over the Herd with 43 seconds to go before intermission.
"It was kind of a different first period. We really came out for the first 15 minutes with a lot of speed and anticipation," said head coach Cary Eades. "They made a play, got a bounce and all of a sudden in a period we dominated we're down."
The first period rally by the Storm only proved to wake the horned, hoofed beast known as the Stampede offense, as Sioux Falls tacked three goals on Mattsson in a twenty minute span completely dominated by the team in white. Two of the scores belonged to winger Tony Calderone, who evened the contest at 11:15 when a lone puck ended up near him in front of Mattsson. A mere 41 seconds later center Dennis Kravchenko rifled a wrister through the Tri-City netminder to give the Herd a 3-2 edge, a lead that blossomed to 4-2 with 3:45 left on a Calderone wrist shot inside the left circle.
"I play with good kids," said Calderone. "You have to give a lot of credit to them too. I'm not doing this by myself."
Tri-City couldn't muster much of a threat in the third period, adding a score but only after the Herd had already made it 5-2 with a goal from Thomas Forgione. An empty-netter from the Herd's Zeb Knutson iced the cake for a 6-3 Sioux Falls victory, a win that ensured the Herd stayed in first place in the Western Conference for at least one more night.
"The more points we can put in the bank, the more of a gap we can build," said Eades. "Those are things they can't take away from you."
The Stampede return to the Arena tomorrow night to face the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders at 7:05 pm.

Openings remain for full-day kindergarten in Derry school district
As of last count, there were three openings at the Grinnell Elementary School, 10 at Derry Village, and five at the Barka Elementary School, according to Jane Simard, the district's business director.
"If there are parents out there who do not want to be on the waiting list for South Range or East Derry this fall, they are welcome to go to the other schools," said Simard. "I'm sure we will have more students coming than we currently have for the program."
There is a $250 deposit required to sign up for full-day kindergarten, and the total tuition is $3,500 for the year. The deposit goes toward the final month's payment, according to Simard.

High School Cancels Musical Production Because It Includes A Same-Sex Wedding (Updated)
"High School Cancels Musical Production Because It Includes A Same-Sex Wedding (Updated)"
CREDIT: AP Photo/Craig Ruttle
South Williamsport Jr/Sr High School in northern Pennsylvania was planning to stage a production of Monty Python's Spamalot next spring, but the Tony-winning musical has now been canceled after parents complained about its content — in particular, a same-sex wedding. According to the school, such content is inappropriate.
Dawn Burch, director of the school's drama department, told WNEP news that Principal Jesse Smith wrote an email to her informing her that homosexuality does not exist in a conservative community such as South Williamsport. Smith did not respond to a ThinkProgress inquiry regarding these specific comments.
Instead, Superintendent Mark Stamm responded to ThinkProgress with a statement explaining that since the drama program includes students from grades 7-12, "We want our performances to be appropriate for the student performers and audiences so that anyone participating or watching can enjoy all aspects of the show."
Not only did students at the school confirm to WNEP that they know of openly gay students, but neighboring Williamsport school district has had a gay-straight alliance for students since 2008. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Pennsylvania since a federal court ruling in May.
In the show, based on the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the knight Lancelot is outed as gay in a wild disco number after he saves an effeminate prince from his tyrannical father. The two marry in the final scene that wraps up all of the characters' story lines.
Many high schools across the country have mounted productions of Spamalot. The company that licenses the rights for the show includes a resource specifically for school productions that includes suggestions about how to adjust the script to remove language that might be inappropriate. It provides no guidance for removing the same-sex wedding.
Past performances by the South Williamsport Jr/Sr High School Drama Department include Pippin, in which the main character stabs his own father to become king, Romeo and Juliet, in which the protagonists commit suicide at the end, and Urinetown, a satirical comedy in which people are punished with death if they refuse to pay to use the toilet.

You do need a contraceptive that you can rely on, the pill does not suit us all, it certainly did not suit me at all, and I messed up got pregnant in my fourties and then had a miscarriage which was all very traumatic to say the least. The best thing I ever did was get myself to the family planning clinic and ask for there advice, I has the coil fitted and after a period of using other contraception to be sure that I would not make another mistake like before, I have felt sure that the coil is the contraceptive best for me.So why not do the same, they check you out health wise, weigh you, advise you, and give you contraception, you then can visit again for further contraception, or help.

There were a few people that reported the final session of the new convention that was going to reveal more about the ten toes but apparently they were told the 'toes' had no special significance. Are you saying that they do?<quoted text>
The GB know about all this, but await the final revelation of the King of the North.(And the toes count)
Jehovah's Witnesses meet over prophecies
Biblical prophecies were the focus of the 2011 regional convention of Jehovah's Witnesses held at the Resch Center, May 27-29. The convention theme, "Let God's Kingdom Come," was based on Jesus' words in Matthew 6:10, in which he declared God's kingdom is a real government.Full Story

I'm saying that the nature of their definition is now being relaxed, as in the nature of that clay+iron mix, and also in the number of ten being a sort of natural assumption.
This made me think of Goliath, with the six digits per foot.
So what I read into their statements is that it is keeping in line with the fact, that the authoritarian vs. democratic systems are really not valid today, because the governance system to today globally, is becoming a hybrid of whatever suits the purpose, and that the "democracies" are indeed shadow dictatorships just waiting for the proper catalyst or event, to go into self-protection mode:
Interestingly if you search US Fourth Reich you will find some very ominous repeating patterns in today's American dictatorship needing but one major event, like 911, to go into action, legislatively it is preparing for this:
Fourth Reich Apparent
""May 31, 2011
2012 Presidential candidate Ron Paul has warned that a lack of oversight from Congress, the media and the American people is enabling the rise of a dictatorship in the US.""
U.S. Senate Makes Big Move to Presidential Dictatorship with S.679
"""If the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 (S.679) is passed by the House and handed on a platter to this President the date of signing will go down in U.S. history as the day the Executive Branch became a Presidential Dictatorship."" "
The significance to the toes, is also significant to the former delineation of the king of the north, and the king of the south.
So these shadow developments though seemingly meaningless to the public at large, are a sort of interesting transformation of everything we once knew about the definition of the North and South Kings sort of flipping or morphing into final form.
Very very interesting at this point in the prophecy.

""So these shadow developments though seemingly meaningless to the public at large, are a sort of interesting transformation of everything we once knew about the definition of the North and South Kings sort of flipping or morphing into final form.""
But we are not certain yet, and like 1914 when Rev13 happened realtime, we may see prophetic fulfillment also start to happen live and real-time very quickly.
That's why i find it interesting that they are noting this transformation IMO, and preparing for what it means, and what the world will manifest in the prophecies fulfilling.
(Especially that North King should be interesting)

Sorry for my previous incomplete response, the 42 months was a period of conquest AND witnessing (dressed in sackcloth as a symbol of that state), temporarily:
1. Rev 11 is a last days ministry, that was directed at Christendom, the "two witnesses, are also shown to be the "holy ones" in Revelation11 and Daniel7:
Recall this is the first mention of a beast, only one had ascended so far, the 7 headed beast (UK/US). This is not the 8th King yet, we know because it parallels Rev13 exactly, prior to the wild beast (2 horned), and the wild beast (image).
(Revelation 11:2-7)
2...and they (UK/US 7th head/wildbeast) will trample the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.
3 And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth....
7 And when they have finished their witnessing, the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss will make WAR with them and CONQUER them and kill them.
(Revelation 13:1-7)
1. . .And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads (UK/US)...
3 And I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed...
5 ...and authority to act forty-two months was given it....
7 And there was granted it to wage WAR with the holy ones and CONQUER them....
The 42 month trampling, and 42 month 'two witnesses' witnessing are concurrent, the 7headed beast is the one doing the trampling 42 months and the "conquest" after the 42 months*** have ended.
The abyss ascension is the "death-stroke got healed" from the WW1 "as though slaughtered to death".
These two chapters are the same 7headed wild beast (UK/US), time period (42 months), witnesses/holy ones, and conquest/killing.
Daniel 7:25...and he will harass continually the holy ones themselves of the Supreme One....and they will be given into his hand for a time, and times and half a time***.(Revelation 42 months)
This ministry also was obviously affecting the wild beast of this chapter 11 in Revelation, and Revelation 13. The two witnesses were the first of Jesus brothers to be attacked by this wild beast, after it officially formed as the 7th head of that beast, of the US/UK national base.
Brothers in Britain and Canada also felt the wrath of the clergy prostitute riding that Wild Beast.
3. Other anointed remnant and "other sheep" keep the beast battling, and dragon slaying spirit of the two-witnesses, and Jesus and Jehovah (The Ultimate Two Witnesses) Alive globally for the Armageddon show down with the beast and dragon to be brought down, one to lake of fire, the other to abyss.

Really why in the world did God send Satan to the earth?(If in fact this is true)
He could have avoided all this trouble by sending him out into a black hole or some super nova!
Terrible terrible decision. If i was fighting satan and defeated him in my lounge room, the last place i would banish him to would be my kids playroom.
Totally irresponsible.

Then go to your local Kingdom Hall and speak with anyone who is learned in prophecy, do not listen to an ex witness who has lost Jehovah's holy spirit and is teaching from his own understanding. Even tho it may sound right you will do much better with a current servant of Jehovah God.

Seeing as how the GB had vilified all other clergy/religions for being tainted by their affiliation with the UN.....and then it was discovered that the GB were doing exactly the same thing for nearly 10 long years behind their follower's backs....
one has to wonder if the WTS considers the bible to be the most important and necessary piece of literature on the earth today,
WHY would they sneak around, annually sign papers to hook up with the UN and COMPROMISE THEIR FAITH by doing this.....all (supposedly) for the use of it's LIBRARY?
What could have possibly been so important to them to have made them behave so dishonestly and to lose their integrity over?

So, if I was the most powerful being in the universe and satan challenged me to prove that my children love me and not him and decided to let him into my childrens play room to test them, would that make me a loving mother?
I mean, what would I expect to happen to my children being in the same room as satan? I think i would expect him to trick them, deceive them without them even realizing it.
I would be totally irresponsible to allow this.
Afterall, they are children and i have the power to protect them from satan. If I am all knowing, then I know my children love me, I dont have to test them.
The only way they would probably stop loving me would be if I knowingly put satan in their playroom to trick them and hurt them. They certainly would lose faith in me, they wouldnt trust me anymore as their mother to protect them from harm.
What do you make of this?

Keep reading, and pray like crazy and with real patience and depth (repeatedly over time if necessary), and I tell you it will answer whatever you may be questioning.
The answer will come as you read the bible, or a spiritual article, or a person.
This is the truth, and I'm not just saying that, I can prove it in many many ways, some of which are just taking a different logical perspective, and pointing people to the fact that Jehovah is a power center you can tap, instantly, upon request.
Beware of negatives, such as apostates who get stuck in one negative, when the body of truth, is truly, a miracle, it just takes the positive reminder.
It's all happening as stated in the bible, and pointed out for a hundred plus years by Jehovah's witnesses even before they were this official name for this final ministry.
This IS the final witness this world will receive in this phase prior to Armageddon.
This brother seems very knowledgeable:
Apparently he knows much about the prophecies and WTS/Russell history, is a brother, is from England, and has a contact email.

Something disturbing has surfaced in the Davis County School Board races in Precincts 1, 2, and 4.
Members of the Davis County Republican Party leadership and one member of the Utah State Republican Party Central Committee are attempting to partisanize these non-partisan elections.
The framers of our state constitution had a good reason for school board positions to be non-partisan; political ideologies are not always pertinent to serving our school children. Why ignore principles of our state constitution to get certain candidates elected?
The following tactics have been employed: 1. Sponsoring meet-the-candidates events to showcase favored candidates.
2. Sending a survey based on the County Republican Platform to the candidates to check compliance. Candidates were not technically endorsed, but still an endorsement is implied. Note that two of the candidates refused to participate and one submitted a disclaimer to reaffirm non-partisanship. Election officials were alerted to this issue.
3. A Davis County Republican legislative chair used party communication structure to endorse one of the candidates to their precinct chairmen.
Shame on the Davis County Republican Party leadership. Why tread on the Utah state constitution in such a blatant way? Thomas Wright, where are you when we need you?
To Davis County voters in these school board precincts: Is the school board about ideologies or is it about your kids?

Math is not my strong suit; hope to find some help for this pretty basic question. I have a function taking an input value based on a modulus operation. So the input goes from 0-60, then repeats. I want the function to return an value that oscillates within a range. For example, it would return values in the range 0-60, then return values in the range 60-0, then repeat.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edit Here is what my function to look like:
int convert(int input) {
