Thank you for this, as this is so helpful for me and for anyone that is just starting. It is so true, and new yogis need to know the power of the body and mind. I still am in awe of the inter-connectedness of the mind and body through breath and pose, and the disconnection life throws at us that we often experience. Yoga brings balance, or awareness to imbalance. And that's great!

Mitt Romney vs. Paul Rudd as Bobby Newport
What separates the electable among us from the also-rans? A deep commitment to principle? A nuanced understanding of public policy? A keen insight into how the minutiae of governmental functions affects the average American? Haha, no. In fact, it's hard to pin down the ineffable qualities that separate regular sociopaths from the sociopaths who manage to win public office, but there are some traits that clearly help. Good hair. Money. A strong jaw line.
Which raises the question: Who is more electable, Mitt Romney or Bobby Newport, heir to the Sweetums fortune and candidate for Pawnee city council on NBC's Parks & Recreation?
Round One: Penchant for Platitudinous Oratory
"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love." – Mitt Romney
"I'm against crime and I'm not ashamed to admit it." – Bobby Newport
Advantage: Romney
Round Two: Family Wealth

Chelsea Clinton Is Boring, Won't Discuss Her Dad's Hummer
Imagine being a TV news correspondent when you're the only thing anyone ever wants to talk about. And not even you really, but your dad. Specifically, that thing your dad was impeached for back in 1998. That's a parental shadow that would make most of us scurry back into a hole in the ground, but Chelsea Clinton is still trying to make a go of it in spite of being panned by several brave, anonymous NBC executives.
To add insult to critique, The Washington Post recently called her "one of the most boring people of her era." Keep in mind that era includes Kim Kardashian and at least 80% of the people who have Tumblr accounts dedicated to their cats, and that is quite an insult. To add even injury to that insult, here is an excerpt from an article that refers to her as, "TV's Dork Diva"…
Almost everyone I spoke to for this story — from within NBC and at other networks as well — agree that that problem is that she won't talk about the one thing that makes her undeniably compelling. How did it feel to be Chelsea Clinton during the Monica years? In the past, she's responded angrily to that question. "It's none of your business," she told an audience after being questioned about it on the 2008 campaign trail.
That line doesn't play anymore, now that she's entered the family business of living in public. "What's she giving us?" one NBC executive, who sees Chelsea regularly, asks. "There's that wall that needs to be torn down. She sounds like a smart and intelligent woman, but there are lots of smart and intelligent women." Until she's willing to answer the Monica question, or any real question — to finally open her soul to public view, paying the required tribute to the media gods, to have her Oprah moment — it's unlikely she'll be given a warm public embrace. "Is she just boring," wonders the NBC exec. "Or can she come out of her shell?"
Like the executive quoted above, I too get incredibly bored whenever someone won't vomit up every last chunk of their personal life to me so I can profit from it.
I guess they just don't make them like Patti Davis anymore.

No One Is Following Ron Paul Around Anymore
While Newt Gingrich's poor primary performance hasn't diminished his media coverage, the same can't be said for poor old Ron Paul.
As Politico's Dylan Byers reports today, the Paul campaign doesn't have a single embedded reporter left…
A couple weeks back I noted that Ron Paul, the lonely delegate hunter, had only one full-time, embedded reporter on his trail: Anthony Terrell of NBC News. Other reporters have provided some coverage of the candidate, but for the last few weeks Terrell was the only proverbial boy on the bus.
But now, Ron Paul is officially embedless. Earlier this week, NBC decided that Terrell would transition off the trail and back to his job with MSNBC, though a spokesperson there would not comment on the move.
Meanwhile, outlets that have been providing frequent but not full coverage, including Fox News, have no intention of putting a reporter back out full-time.
This is so inconvenient. Now when I want to know what's going on with Ron Paul, I'll have to go, basically, anywhere on the Internet. It's the end of an era. An era no one cares about anymore. Like the Gold Rush.
NBC's decision probably didn't go over well with the Ron Paul Nation. Although it's kind of hard to tell since all their comments are already in bold all-caps font.

10 days ago we reported on the closing of BMW's South African Rosslyn Plant due to a strike by the National Union of Metalworkers of SA. We're happy to report that the strike is now over and the plant has resumed 3-series production.
The union has negotiated a 3-year wage increase and its members will receive 10% wage increase this year and 9% increase in the next two years. The strike resulted in the lost production of approximately 17,000 vehicles among the BMW, VW, Toyota, Ford, … CONTINUED
Hamann has released photos of its full F01 7-series program. Their parts include, front spoiler lip, two types of full front bumpers, front fenders, side gills, sideskirts, rear spoiler, rear diffuser for quad pipes, roof spoiler, lower springs, alloy wheels, engine tune, exhaust systems, and various interior accessory bits.
WheelSTO shares the final chapter to their Japan tour, saving arguably the best for last – Studie AG headquarters in Yokohama. Studie AG has 5 shops all over Japan, but this is the mother of all Studie AG shops. Enough talk, hit up automotive aftermarket nirvana inside!
The Sept. issue of Sport Auto has hit the stands today and contains several tests of the M3 GTS, including laps on the Nurburgring and Hockenheim tracks. The best time they were able to achieve with the M3 GTS was 7:48 on the Nurburgring and 1:12.5 at Hockenheim. See inside for how these times fared to the competition.
BMW Performance parts for both the BMW X5 and X6 have been out now for some time, with a few scant images distributed around the internet. In fact, to date, the best photos have been the ones captured live @ autoshows (check out our autoshow coverage of the geneva show where we were lucky enough to get some great alone time with the car), but now BMW has updated us with some new photos at some great angles and in high resolutions!
American fans of the BMW X1 SAV will soon get their turn as the X1 is expected to hit U.S. dealerships in late May to early June of 2011 according to our sources. The X1 has been on sale in Europe since Oct. 2009 and is produced at the BMW Leipzig plant. Its main rivals will be the upcoming Audi Q3 and Mercedes B-Class.
The X1 has been a sales success so far, recently overtaking the Audi … CONTINUED
This is a short but very tantalizing clip of the upcoming F10 M5! Drifting around a wet corner at the Nurburgring, the M5 sounds like it's in the upper RPM range as it powers out of the corner. That's the tweaked version of the S63 V8 twin turbo motor from the X5M/X6M you're hearing, and we expect it to make 585-600hp in the new M5.
The 2012 M5 is expected to premier at the 2011 Frankfurt IAA autoshow in September 2011.
The cover of the latest auto moto, a french auto magazine, features their prediction of what the 2012 F30 3-series sedan may look like. This render seems to draw heavily on cues from the newest BMWs such as the F10 5-series, F07 5-series GT, F01 7-series, and even E89 Z4. Opinions?
BMW design chief Adrian Van Hooydonk speaks about the upcoming Megacity vehicle coming in 2013, BMW's first volume production car to use carbon fiber in the structure and panels. He says that the car will be attractive but not controversial and will be priced at a premium to the Tata Nanos of the world.
CAR Magazine undertakes an examination of which BMW M3, all editions considered, is the greatest ever. The shortlist considered includes the E92 M3 GTS, E46 M3 CSL, or E30 M3 Sport Evo, each representing the highest performing and most focused editions of their generation. See verdict inside.
Here are the first clips we've seen of the BMW Performance Exhaust matched to a N55 motor and it sounds terrific! N55 BMWs come from the factory with a throatier exhaust than the N54 due to the absence of two mid cats. Paired with a Performance Exhaust, the N55′s growl is amplified beautifully.
BMW's goal is to implement fuel efficiency improvements so that its entire lineup avoids the gas guzzler taxes (on cars failing to achieve 22.5mpg). This could happen as early as the launch of each current model's next redesign. Currently, the M3, 550i, 650i, and 750i incur a gas guzzler tax.

Another nice shot in the series showing how bleak Dungeness can be !
Just a couple of observations.... I think I would have liked the New Lighthouse not to be partially hidden behind the pole and to see all of the slanting post on the right hand side.... perhaps a step or two to your left would have sorted that.

Dungeness can seem bleak even in summer. Here the generally surreal nature of the place is enhanced buy the presence of the two figures and of course the snow. Suggestive of the Cold War in so many ways.

Carrie Underwood gave a twelve year old boy named Chase the first kiss of all first kisses at her show in Louisville, Kentucky during her Blown Away tour. Talk about being blown away! How did Chase get so lucky? Carrie spotted his poster that asked the star to be his first kiss. Needless to say, Carrie obliged and got him onstage, jokingly warning him to watch out for her husband who was somewhere in the building. In case you were wondering, Carrie's husband is Mike Fisher, a Canadian hockey player for the Nashville Predators.
Chase is one lucky kid! My first kiss was definitely not with my ideal first kiss. I'm looking at you, Ryan Gosling. Watch the video of the very gracious Carrie Underwood with Chase and his very first kiss below.

Dave Gettleman spent more than 25 years in the NFL before becoming a general manager last January with the Panthers.
And while Gettleman understands the knee-jerk reaction of fans following a loss like last weekends playoff defeat to San Francisco from calls for offensive coordinator Mike Shulas firing to pleas for a young, fast receiver Gettleman isnt going to do anything rash.
Whats very dangerous is your most recent snapshot, Gettleman said. You cant forget that we played 16 games before (the loss to the 49ers). You have to view it as a whole. If youre looking at a young player, how much did he progress during the course of the year? Youre looking at an older guy, did he lose something at the end of the year? These are all things that take time.
Gettleman will spend the next three to four weeks evaluating the roster before finalizing a plan to build on this seasons success while operating with a salary cap-challenged budget.
The Panthers have 21 players who will become unrestricted free agents, a list headed by defensive end Greg Hardy. But their biggest offseason priority will be locking up franchise quarterback Cam Newton with a long-term contract.
Gettleman seemed to indicate he would stay with the trend of offering one-year deals to second-tier free agents. But given his ties to the Giants organization, its not unreasonable to think Gettleman will consider free agent wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, the former Independence and North Carolina star.
The Observer looks back at the Panthers 2013 season and projects what the 2014 roster might look like at every position.
Observer writer Joe Person looks back at the Panthers 2013 season and gives each position group a grade. He also projects what the 2014 roster might look like at every position.
B+ There were times Newton looked like a game manager running Shulas offense. Then hed elude a couple of pass-rushers and take off running, or hurl a dart into coverage for a key first down or touchdown. Newton had career lows in passing and rushing yards, but became a better quarterback in his third season. He audibled more, did a better job recognizing coverages and took what the defense gave him.
2014 outlook: The Panthers could exercise their club option on Newton for 2015, although that might not be the best message to send to a player who received considerably less money than any recent No. 1 pick under the new collective bargaining agreement. It wont be easy and it wont be cheap, but the Panthers need to get a deal done.
Running back
B- DeAngelo Williams got off to a torrid start and was on pace for his first 1,000-yard season since 2009. But the rushing attack suffered with the return of Jonathan Stewart at midseason. With more carries to share, none of the backs could get in a rhythm. Fullback Mike Tolbert had a season worthy of his first Pro Bowl berth 361 rushing yards, 184 receiving a team-high seven touchdowns (rushing and receiving).
2014 outlook: It might be time to break up the crowded backfield, even if it means taking a big cap hit on Williams or the oft-injured Stewart. Tolbert is a bargain at $3.35 million. No one knows what Kenjon Barner can do because he couldnt get on the field as a rookie.
Wide receiver
C Steve Smith, who will be 35 next season, averaged 11.6 yards a catch, the second lowest of his 13-year career. That he remains the teams most important receiver watch the regular-season finale at Atlanta if youre not sure speaks to the need to upgrade at the position. Ted Ginn Jr. was one of Gettlemans best acquisitions, but hes a complementary receiver.
2014 outlook: The Panthers will look to re-sign Ginn at the right price, while free agent Brandon LaFell likely will be asked to take a team-friendly, one-year deal to stay in Charlotte. Gettleman needs to address this position either in the draft or through free agency. Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks, who turned 26 last week, is coming off a disappointing season but still will command a big contract.
Tight end
B+ Greg Olsen broke his own record among Panthers tight ends with a team-leading 73 receptions. Olsen will never get the recognition of Jimmy Graham or Rob Gronkowski, but he catches everything thrown to him and is a leader in the locker room.
2014 outlook: Blocking specialist Ben Hartsock is a free agent and could be back on a one-year deal. But the Panthers have two big, young tight ends they want to evaluate former basketball player Brandon Williams and D.C. Jefferson, who was added to the practice squad before the playoff game.
B- Everyone seems ready to push Jordan Gross into retirement. But its not like he was a slouch this season. In fact, if the 49ers beat Seattle to make the Super Bowl, Gross will take Joe Staleys spot in the Pro Bowl. Gross is not a dominant tackle, but he outplayed right tackle Byron Bell.
2014 outlook: Gettleman loves big-bodied linemen, and he could use one or more high draft picks on a tackle this year after taking two defensive tackles in 2013. That doesnt mean Gross time is through: He could be back in a mentoring role to help the transition to the left tackle of the future.
C+ This was the position hardest hit by injuries. Veteran Travelle Wharton, journeyman Chris Scott (before he was injured) and converted defensive lineman Nate Chandler filled in admirably during the regular season. But the guards were exposed in the goal-line runs during the divisional-round loss to the 49ers.
2014 outlook: The Panthers believe they have their guards on the roster in Amini Silatolu and Edmund Kugbila, both of whom underwent season-ending knee surgeries in September. Silatolu, who started and played well as a rookie, is more polished than Kugbila, a fourth-round pick who was hurt throughout OTAs and training camp.
A Ryan Kalil bounced back well from foot surgery that ended his 2012 season after five games. Kalil was nimble on his pulling blocks, again directed traffic along the line and made the Pro Bowl for the fourth time.
2014 outlook: Kalil is signed through the 2017 season, giving the Panthers an anchor up front for the foreseeable future.
Defensive end
A Greg Hardy had a monster season during a contract year with 15 sacks, although seven came in two games against the Giants and Falcons. Hardy was shut out by Staley in the playoff game, vowing last week it wouldnt happen again. Charles Johnson was slowed for several weeks by a knee injury sustained on a leg whip by Patriots tackle Marcus Cannon, but still finished with 11 sacks.
2014 outlook: Hardy is the $80 million (or more) question, and it sure sounded like Gettleman was trying to prepare fans last week for the possibility that Hardy wont be back next season. The Panthers could put the franchise tag on Hardy for about $12 million. Or they could let him walk and go draft a defensive end (yes, another D-lineman) and/or develop young ends Mario Addison and Frank Alexander.
Defensive tackles
B Gettleman went two-for-two on his first two draft picks. Star Lotulelei (17 starts, 3 sacks) met expectations, and second-rounder Kawann Short (21 quarterback pressures) exceeded them. Veteran tackles Dwan Edwards and Colin Cole teamed with the rookies to form a dependable rotation that consistently created interior pocket pressure.
2014 outlook: Cole, who will be 34 next season, is the only free agent in the group. Edwards is under contract for one more season.
A Luke Kuechly is in the mix for the Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year award. Kuechly finished fourth in the league with 156 tackles, and tied for the team lead with four interceptions. Kuechlys Achilles heel has been his coverage: He got turned around on Vernon Davis touchdown last weekend. Thomas Davis (123 tackles, four sacks) had a Pro Bowl-worthy season.
2014 outlook: All three starting linebackers are under contract, although look for rookie A.J. Klein to challenge Chase Blackburn at the weakside spot. Klein looked good in two starts when Blackburn was dealing with a foot injury.
C The so-called Legion of Whom held its own most weeks, with a few exceptions. Tom Brady picked on undrafted corner Melvin White during a Monday night game in November, and the entire secondary was picked apart by Drew Brees in a December loss at New Orleans. Captain Munnerlyn had his best year as a pro, while Drayton Florence ran hot and cold.
2014 outlook: The LoW figures to look quite a bit different next season. Four of the top five players in the secondary are free agents, including Florence and Munnerlyn. After taking a one-year deal last offseason, Munnerlyn probably will get a multiyear deal either in Charlotte or elsewhere.
B- Mike Mitchell, a career backup in Oakland, proved to be a playmaker and a leader in the secondary. Mitchells aggressiveness led to some untimely penalties, but his four picks tied Kuechly for the team lead. Veteran Quintin Mikell, a September pickup, was a valuable addition.
2014 outlook: Mitchell, who signed a one-year deal, deserves to be back. The question will be whether Gettleman will make him a multiyear offer. If Charles Godfrey can return from Achilles surgery, Mitchell could slide to strong safety. Otherwise, Robert Lester will get a shot to start.
Special teams
A Ginn never took a return for a touchdown, but he changed several games with his speed, and set up the game-winning field goal against his former team, with a long punt return in Week 10 at San Francisco. Graham Gano was 24-of-27 on field goals and had the best touchback percentage (79.7) in the league in 21 years. Brad Nortman was much improved in his second year, while long snapper J.J. Jansen is headed to the Pro Bowl after his third consecutive season without a bad snap.
2014 outlook: Gano will become a free agent in March, and the Panthers certainly will look to bring him back. Ditto for Ginn, whose special teams skills make him a higher priority than LaFell.
B+ Ron Rivera has gone from the hot seat to the catbirds seat. Thought to be on thin ice after an 0-2 start, Rivera is now bringing in Coach of the Year honors (from Pro Football Writers of America and Football 101) and is line for a contract extension. Much has been made about Riveras about-face on fourth downs, but his rapport with players and calm demeanor had as much to do with the teams turnaround. Shulas balanced, measured attack helped the Panthers own time of possession each week, but the Panthers need more big-chunk plays. Defensive coordinator Sean McDermotts scheme took advantage of the defenses ability to create pressure from its front four.
2014 outlook: Rivera said he expects his coordinators to be back next season, but he has to insist that Shula open things up a bit. McDermott, who interviewed for the Redskins head-coaching vacancy, will get more calls if the Panthers remain a top-5 defense. Rivera will try to do something thats never been accomplished in team history: back-to-back winning seasons.

LYLES STATION – Stanley Madison spent Thursday talking to visitors who came to Lyles Station Museum for its annual Juneteenth celebration about the importance of farming to the community's settlers and the continuing connection of farming to people of today.
Juneteenth, sometimes called Emancipation Day, celebrates the freeing of slaves by Union soldiers on June 19, 1865, at Galveston, Texas, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's proclamation.
Lyles Station, located west of Princeton in southern Indiana, was established in the mid-1840s by freed slaves and flourished into the early 20th century as a community of about 800 residents. Flooding, though, from the nearby Wabash and Patoka rivers took a toll on the community, which saw most of its residents relocate.
The restored Lyles Consolidated School, which served students from 1922 to 1958, continues its mission of educating today with the preservation of the oral, written and physical history of the community's black American culture, said Madison, founder in 1997 of the Lyles Station Historic Preservation Corp.
I want them (visitors) to understand the African-American farming side of it, Madison told the Evansville Courier & Press.
We'll talk about milking the cow and how those nine liters of milk are produced every day.
We'll talk about the yellow corn and how farmers have to grow enough yellow corn for this year to feed all the people in 2015.
Madison said he wanted visitors to learn the creative ways Lyles Station founders worked to make a decent living, including making dolls for girls out of corn cobs because the porcelain was too expensive when families had to worry about buying seeds and equipment for the next season.
In addition to talking about how farming was used in the past, Madison connected farming uses from the past with how the products produced are used today.
We'll be talking about how we've advanced from the early days of our ancestors; feeding up to two-thirds of yellow corn to all of our animals and now we use a third of it for the gasohol, he said. When you drove up with the gasoline that went into your gas tank, it actually came from yellow corn.
Madison said he feels that kids these days have little understanding of where milk actually comes from. With the milking simulation, kids were able to act as if they were milking a real cow and see the milk flow into the bucket underneath the cow.
The most important lesson Madison wanted visitors to take away from Lyles Station's Juneteenth celebration is to have respect for farmers and understand the effect they've had and continue to have across the country.
If they don't get to that field and get that crop out, we're not going to eat next year, he said. Patience should be there, understanding should be there, and our children should understand just where their food is actually coming from.

Joliet Housing Authority CFO fired after accusations of misdeeds at CHA
By Frank Vaisvilas Correspondent August 9, 2013 8:26PM
Charlene Potts, the chief financial officer of the Joliet Housing Authority was charged in a scheme that defrauded the Chicago Housing Authority of nearly $200,000.
Updated: September 11, 2013 6:15AM
JOLIET — The Joliet Housing Authority's chief financial officer, who along with her estranged husband recently was accused of embezzling nearly $200,000 from the Chicago Housing Authority, has been fired from her post in Joliet.
Charlene Potts was fired effective Tuesday, the same day she was arrested at work and charged with embezzling funds from the CHA, said Michael Simelton, the JHA's interim CEO.
Potts, 42, now of Richton Park, and Scott Washington, 48, of Park Forest, both have been charged in the alleged scheme.
A scheduled special meeting of the JHA Board of Commissioners was cancelled Thursday after concerns it could have violated the state's Open Meetings Act. A board meeting has been scheduled for next Wednesday, Simelton said.
Simelton said he did not need approval to make the move.
Potts had been earning $75,000 a year from the JHA.
JHA attorney Eric Hanson said commissioners were planning to have a forensic audit to review the agency's records and were scheduled to meet with a local auditing firm on Friday.
Joliet Councilman Larry Hug said Thursday he thought "there probably needs to be an audit by an outside agency."
Simelton, who said he was present Tuesday when authorities arrested Potts, said he has not been in contact with her.
Since the arrest, Simelton said, agency officials have removed her name from bank accounts and payroll and deactivated her accessibility to those. Simelton said he would be sending Potts a letter informing her that she had been terminated.
Simelton said he did not believe Potts' alleged criminal activity continued when she worked for the Joliet housing agency. Authorities who arrested Potts on Tuesday said her arrest "had nothing to do with the Housing Authority of Joliet," Simelton said.
"I don't know, but we're going to take steps to make sure," he said. "It's not out of the norm for, in something like this, that you would bring in a firm to do a forensic review."
Potts joined the Joliet agency in 2010 as a temporary employee to help new residents move into the Liberty Meadows apartment complex, city officials said. Potts had been the Joliet agency's CFO since August 2011, Simelton said. Simelton was appointed as the agency's interim CEO in June 2012, he said.
According to court records, Potts had filed for bankruptcy about the time she was hired in Joliet and had claimed she owed more than $280,000, mostly on a mortgage for her house in Crete.
Meanwhile, JHA chairperson Susie Barber resigned from the agency's board of commissioners on Wednesday, Simelton said.

To succeed in business today (and in politics as well) it's good to have a lot
of Facebook likes and Twitters followers, right? After all, a large and active social media base leads
to greater awareness and consideration, and maybe more. But, perhaps we should consider the practical consequences of
attempts to aggressively build likes and followers.
The 'Business' of Exploiting
the Social Media
Tell a dedicated employee that it's his/her job to
generate likes and followers, and it's likely she will go out and find a way to get them. Pressure him to produce
even more and he will get you there as well. Unfortunately, unless you have made it very clear why you want them, and
what you expect those followers to do for your brand, the results may be deceiving and disappointing. We found
an investigation reported recently by Darren Samuelsohn of Politico.com that casts doubt (or at
the very least some skepticism) about the large numbers of followers reported by brands and personalities. In particular,
Samuelsohn found evidence that the number of followers presented by some of the biggest names in American politics are, shall
we say, slightly exaggerated. According to analysis from Politico, eager staffers
have likely been using bots and click farms to find 'followers'. The result is astounding:
Bringing It Back to Products, Brands and Services...
But you aren't
aiming to be the leader of a country or even a member of Congress, so how does this relate to your business practice?
Authentic Ways to Build
Your Social Media Following
There are any number of legitimate ways to build likes and followers. The common
elements among the approaches is that they involve some hard work and require that you provide some form of value. That
value can be: a chance to win a contest, a special deal or discount, having access to information about your brand not available
to the general public, getting cool content to share, and receiving entertaining content that emotionalizes your brand or
company. Like so many other opportunities in life, the best social media followers aren't easily obtained....
the knack is in disciplining one's self to aim for quality over quantity.

Stories of dissatisfaction seem all too prevalent. When things go wrong, it's appropriate for customers to
complain and today's 'enlightened' management seems goaled to respond. But less frequent are the stories
of satisfaction. Not because they occur less frequently. No doubt, most service encounters and customer interactions
end up with satisfactory if not delighted outcomes. But, when satisfaction is delivered, there's less motivation
to act on it. Appropriately, customers shouldn't feel the need to compliment a business for simply doing 'the
right thing'. But sometimes, when a customer is unexpectedly delighted, an acknowledgment is appropriate.
We write our fair share of letters of complaint; but we also try to send letters of compliment in situations
of extraordinary outcomes. Our complaints are almost always acknowledged. But our compliments? Funny thing,
they're almost never responded to! So ask yourself, have you ever told a customer these five words,
"Thank you for your compliment"?
Not 'Rocket Science'!
Acknowledging compliments should be one of the most obvious practices a
business can undertake. And yet, few businesses do so. Why? Well, first off, a compliment bears no troubling
threat ("I'll tell 100 people", etc.). Second of all, no one is in charge of compliments! Larger,
forward thinking organizations with Chief Customer Officers should probably institute "compliment departments",
but currently we know of none. So why our concern? It's all about building relationships with
customers, and these days nobody doesn't want a relationship with their customers. So, put yourself in the role
of an enthusiastic customer. He or she takes the time to reach out to a company or brand to exclaim their extreme satisfaction.
And then, what happens? Nothing! And lo and behold the bond with this customers has been weakened - if not destroyed!
An Example: We're Acknowledged
We were reminded of this issue because a month
or so ago we wrote a note of compliment on a restaurant's database counter card. We noted that our server was
extremely attentive, very knowledgeable and a real 'host' for the restaurant. About a week ago (a bit late,
but still exemplary) we received an email from Alyssia, the manager of the restaurant (Biggies of Hoboken), thanking us for
our compliment. Bingo! The result? We felt: listened to, appreciated, and acknowledged. In short,
we felt closer to this business; our relationship was strengthened - we'll definitely return. Ever since
our book, Aftermarketing, first published in 1992, we've recommended
the following course of action for responding to compliments:
Customers with compliments are everyday
advocates asking to be reinforced in their zeal and commitment towards your brand. Don't
let yourself down by failing to 'close the loop' with them! Formulate your 'compliment
handling process' today.

When thinking about
ways to increase your customers' loyalty it's not surprising to consider adopting some form of a rewards program. Many
have. The fact is, whether effective or not, loyalty programs are being offered by just about everyone. From your
corner dry cleaner to American Airlines, marketers everywhere seem convinced that a loyalty program is a 'must have'.
With such universal acceptance, we didn't find the results of the 2013 Loyalty Census from Colloquy
very surprising. According to the investigation:
But Are We Asking the Wrong Question?
'Membership' numbers,
active or not, can be a fickle indicator of effectiveness. As opposed to mere 'belonging', a better question
to ask might be how many programs are 'top of mind' for customers? That is, how many programs are truly
engaging members of the program? More importantly, from the sponsor's side, how many
loyalty programs are actually influencing members' behavior - increasing spending? We use a Value Equation as our
model in considering how customers decide about repurchasing brands, products and services. If they're effective,
the loyalty programs in which a customer is enrolled should become components in each customer's value equation calculation
for a brand. The more effective the program, the more weight the program component should exert in urging repurchase.
This being said, here are several actions loyalty program owners should be considering:
All said and done, creating a loyalty program may be your easiest task; keeping it engaging and motivating
is the real chore. And, there's also the frequently overlooked implicit obligation of justifying your program by tracking
its ROI.

Corporations large and small depend upon their NPS (Net Promoter Score) to evaluate staff,
compare themselves to their competitors, monitor their progress over time, and more. As you probably know it's a survey-based
process asking people how likely they are to 'recommend' a brand, service or company to others based on their
own personal experiences with the brand, service or company. The key NPS statistic is created by subtracting the number
of "detractors" (respondents who score their willingness to recommend at only a 1-6 on a ten-point scale, or 1-6
on an eleven-point scale) from the number of "promoters" (those who rate their willingness to recommend at a high
score of 9 or 10). Hence the construct of 'net' promoters (the proportion of a customerbase likely to promote
minus those unlikely to promote).
You Really Should Know
The NPS score is frequently criticized both because it only assesses 'likely behavior'…
and because it fails to further probe qualities of the likely behavior. In short, it fails to provide enough information
to help remedy the extent of failure it identifies. In our work on word of mouth, we've addressed the NPS weakness
by focusing on actual recommendation behavior; and what was actually communicated. Here's how we recommend NPS
programs can be enhanced to make them much more useful. They should be teamed with a 'follow-up' survey that focuses
Way You Can Objectively Find Out
admittedly not the purpose for which we developed it, a tool like our Buzz Barometer® addresses
all these missed opportunities and increases the value of NPS programs. Our approach is simple; we would draw the email
addresses of three groups of customers who had responded to a corporation's survey that included the NPS question. One
group would be those who had rated the brand a 9 or 10, a second group would be those who rated the brand a neutral 7 or 8,
and a third group who scored the brand a 1-6. We would invite customers in these three groups to respond to a
secondary survey. Our Buzz Barometer® questionnaire asks customers to report on their own word of mouth
behavior (frequency, valence, medium, message summary, etc.). All this information would allow us to produce qualitative
and quantitative pictures that bring promoters (as well as detractors and neutrals for that matter)
to life, to help the entire organization better understand the key drivers of promotion and detraction and how energetically
these positions are being spread.

Our reason for this particular Insights column is that while big organizations generally
understand all of this, disaster recovery may not be well understood or practiced by smaller organizations. Our case
in point, a recent dinner at a local restaurant. We were joined by several couples at a restaurant which had delighted
us on several previous meals. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess-co-owner and in turn we introduced our guests
as referrals we wished to have experience her restaurant. Uncharacteristic of previous visits to the restaurant,
from our arrival the experience deteriorated quickly. It seemed that the kitchen (the hostess's husband) was over-taxed
by a full house. Our appetizers came out in a reasonably timely fashion, but then there was an hour's wait for
our entrées. In short, a disaster was in full bloom.

"Exclusive: Rupert Murdoch Speaks," Time, July 28, 2007:
The owner-in-waiting will eventually want to see some [changes], starting on Page One. He has little taste for the quirky "A-head" stories that run in the center columns. "To have these esoteric, well-written stories on Page One every day is great," he says, in a tone of voice that implies it's not so great. "But I still think you want some hard news. I'd try to keep many more of them for the weekend. I'm sick of putting the Journal aside because I don't have time to get through these stories."
John Brooks, "The Wall Street Journal Woos the Eggheads," March 1959:
A Journal leader is really a small magazine article rather than a news story. It may run to magazine-article length–two thousand words or more–and it always tries to attain magazine-article depth and thoroughness. Its subject is usually something of fairly crucial interest to businessmen, but at times, it may take up matters primarily for their intrinsic interest. For example, last summer the Journal ran a leader that presented the most complete and lucid account printed anywhere of Louis Wolfson's complicated dealings in American Motors stock. In the course of one week last fall, there were leaders on new wrinkles in frozen-food packaging; a pick-up in automobile sales; the promising new drugs for heart disease; the United Auto Workers' election-campaign tactics; the situation in commercial production of atomic power plants; the status of the Gomulka government in Poland; the appalling railroad-car shortage that would develop in case of war; the financial plight of opera companies; and the decline of the hula-hoop fad, Packed with information that had been closely checked and intelligently collated, such articles, while of bread-and-butter interest to a few readers, have a special appeal for amateur sociologists, trend-spotters, people in search of topics for cocktail conversation, and those who take an innocent delight in knowing what's going on around them.

The airline transport pilot departed on a CFR Part 135 scheduled passenger flight to a remote coastal village. When the flight did not return, an aerial search was initiated. The wreckage was located the following day along the pilot's intended route, about 49 miles from the departure airport. The airplane had collided with flat, featureless, snow-covered, terrain. A pilot that departed about one minute after the accident airplane's departure, had a similar route of flight. He characterized the weather conditions along the accident airplane's route as overcast, with ceilings ranging between 2,500 and 4,500 feet. He said that as he approached the area of the accident, he encountered 'a wall of weather' starting from the ground, with tops at 1,500 feet. He added that visibility was low, with fog and varied layers of cloud cover. The pilot stated that he changed his route in order to avoid the worsening weather conditions. He added that with satisfactory weather conditions, and given the intended destination of the accident airplane, the standard route of flight would be directly over the location of the accident site. No preaccident anomalies were noted with the accident airplane.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

This paper provides a detailed comparison of the methodologies used by the ILO and the US government for computing global estimates, discussing strengths and weaknesses of both methods. The paper emphasizes the need for better country-estimates in the future, and reviews the different methodologies that could be used and/or developed for improving data collection. It provides some useful background information and suggestions for researchers who wish to study in more detail the global, national or local dimensions of forced labour and human trafficking. The paper is also part of the ILO's broader effort to generate more and better quantitative information at the national level, with the view to facilitate efficient policy making and to provide benchmarks by reference to which progress can be measured over time.More information about human trafficking on the website of ILO.

8 Mile Freestyle Pt.III vs "Papa Doc" Lyrics - Eminem
Review The Song (15)
Now everybody from the 313
Put your motherfucking hands up and follow me
Everybody from the 313
Put your motherfucking hands up
Look Look
Now while he stands tough
Notice that this man did not have his hands up
This free world got you all gased up
Now who's afraid of the big bad wolf
1, 2, 3 and to the 4
1 pac , 2 pac, 3 pac, 4
4 pac, 3 pac, 2 pac, 1
You're pac, he's pac, no pacs, none
This guy ain't no mother-fucking MC,
I know everything he's got to say against me,
I am white, I am a fucking bum, I do live in a trailer with my mom,
My boy Future is an Uncle Tom.
I do got a dumb friend named Cheddar Bob who shot
himself in the leg with his own gun,
I did get jumped by all 6 of you chumps
And Wink did fuck my girl,
I'm still standing here screaming "FUCK THE FREE WORLD!"
Don't ever try to judge me dude
You don't know what the fuck I've been through
But I know something about you
You went to Cranbrook, that's a private school
What's the matter dawg? You embarrassed?
This guy's a gangster? he's real name's Clarence
And Clarence lives at home with his parents
And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage
This guy don't wanna battle, He's shook
'Cause there no such things as half-way crooks
He's scared to death
He's scared to look in his fucking yearbook, fuck Cranbrook
Fuck the beat, I go acapella
Fuck a papa doc, fuck a clock, fuck a trailer, fuck everybody
Fuck y'all if you doubt me
I'm a piece of fucking white trash, I say it proudly
And fuck this battle, I don't wanna win, I'm outty,
Here, tell these people something they don't know about me.
