Some 12 years ago I was sitting on a United flight from Newark to San Fran with a good friend of mine, and over six hours, I laid out a business plan that I'm sure will make a lot of money for all those who participate. My role in the initial phases of Plan B 4 Sales is:
to recruit top shelf talent for the professional services group who provide sales & go to market expertise, lead generation, and workforce enablement services.
We're about 70% there and I'm thrilled with the progress. Look at our Partners section and you'll see why.

Riversimple Urban car is hydrogen, open source, not quite there
A sunny day in London yesterday saw the launch of the Riversimple, a hydrogen fuel cell-powered car. Although the two-seater is currently a "technology demonstrator vehicle" (translation: almost pie in the sky but not quite), its creators are hoping that the Riversimple will be put into production by 2013. The 772-pound vehicle has a top speed of 50mph and can go 240 miles on a single tank.
As our own Charlie White has pointed out, however, hydrogen cars are not really the future of green motoring. For starters, the technology involved is so costly that buying one would be prohibitively expensive — which is why the Riversimple will be available to lease for around $300 a month. Then there's the small matter of building the filling stations all over the country. What is interesting about this car, however, is that the makers are choosing to make it open source, so that anyone will be able to adapt the design to fit in with local requirements.
Four small electric motors are attached to each wheel to generate electricity, as well as doubling up as brakes. Power comes from a six-kilowatt fuel cell, and the only emissions are water and a little heat — perfect for a mid-journey cuppa!

Eating Disorders
It is widely documented that eating disorders most commonly appear in adolescent girls. However information from St. Patrick's Mental Health Services from 2013 reveals that the average age of female admissions was 27 while the average male was 24 years of age. This week is Eating Disorders Awareness Week and Dr Sarah Prasad and the eating disorders team at St. Patrick's will host an information event this evening at 6.30pm at their James' St. Campus and she joined Sean now in studio...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/today-with-sean-o-rourke/programmes/2014/0225/506492-today-with-sean-o-rourke-tuesday-25-february-2014/?clipid=1425814

MEJJI Puzzle Arrives on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
January 7, 2012 in Games
[prMac.com] London, United Kingdom - MEJJI, invented by Segun O. Adu, became popular on the London tubes in 2011 and has featured in the magazine, London Puzzle Companion, distributed by the London Evening Standard (the most circulated evening paper in the UK). It is a coffee-time, as well as travel-time game to help pass the time when needed and with four different levels and game styles there is a game to fit every free-time.
MEJJI was the first logic puzzle to come in a picture frame. As with some of his art work, the inventor felt that for the puzzle to be truly ready, it needed frames around it. Aesthetics played a very important role in the creation of the puzzle, with the provision of different game styles and setups. Segun, a solution architect for Enterprise Resource Planning Systems, famously mentioned in his book, MEJJI, that - 'the process of creating the puzzle was in itself like solving a puzzle - "The puzzle of creating the puzzle".'
The typical MEJJI puzzle is an 8x8 grid. However, there are 6x6 and 10x10 grid sizes to appeal to different solvers. MEJJI was originally made available in paper format and pdf downloads were provided on the website for printing. Later, a Flash app was developed to allow users to try it online. The arrival of the iPhone version is a great moment for us at Virtuoso Works, as we finally can get the world to experience on mobile devices, what we believe is one of the most important logic puzzles of the moment.
Dr. David Levy, mathematician and Scottish International Chess Master, who has been very involved in puzzle works around the world, was one of the very first people to see the finished puzzle in 2009. He liked it and further described it as, "a very interesting new way to utilise symbols".
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
Pricing and Availability:
MEJJI 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

This item was written by Anne Kalosh, who covers cruising for Seatrade Insider and Seatrade Cruise Review. Kalosh is serving as Guest Editor of The Cruise Log while USA TODAY Cruise Editor Gene Sloan is away.
Royal Caribbean International plans to dramatically revamp its port shopping program. Added to the usual shopping talks and fliers will be new elements with an emphasis on interactive technology and entertainment.
The line envisions pre-cruise web-based shopping information, "exciting and compelling" destination programming on stateroom television and real-time deals sent to passengers' smartphones and other mobile devices.
RELATED: Royal Caribbean to get a new class of ship
ALSO ONLINE: Discounts, new ships drive record cruise bookings
Most major cruise lines offer port shopping programs that are operated by large suppliers such as Miami-based Onboard Media or the Fort Lauderdale-based PPI Group.
Participating merchants typically pay a fee to be advertised or recommended to passengers. In exchange for shopping at these retail outlets, customers may get special deals and extra consumer protection such as a 30-day guarantee to repair or replace unsatisfactory items.
Starting in October, Royal Caribbean will work with a new partner, Royal Media Group. Lisa Bauer, the line's senior vice president of hotel operations, said this company will take the port shopping model to "the next level" by focusing on creative strategic partnerships, web-based marketing, mobile applications and other innovations.
This means you could get notices about real-time deals on your smartphone or mobile device using applications created for Royal Caribbean. And before your cruise, you will be able to access web-based port shopping and concierge information. Onboard, more compelling stateroom television destination content is envisioned - details to come.
The cruise line said the new program will be on Royal Caribbean ships sailing in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, New England, Mexico and Alaska, starting in October.
Cruise Loggers, what's your experience with cruise line port shopping programs? Who has the best and the worst?

|The hell is going on in Baltimore?
1. Texas Rangers (15-4): To give everybody a better idea of how far ahead of everybody else the Rangers really are in these rankings, I really should rank the next team at fifth. We're only a month into the season but I feel like Texas can already start getting its rotation in order for the postseason. (1)
2. Tampa Bay Rays (12-7): After taking a bit of a tumble in last week's rankings the Rays went 5-1 last week to climb all the way back to the second spot. Coincidentally they'll be playing the Rangers this weekend, so whether they're still here or not next week, we'll probably know by Sunday night. (8)
3. Baltimore Orioles (12-7): All right, what the hell is going on in Baltimore? I keep waiting for this team to start drifting toward the bottom of the rankings, but they're just not doing it. Are they playing way over their heads, or is this team actually just this good? I don't know, but at the moment it helps with the sting of seeing the Sox lose three of four against them last week. (4)
4. New York Yankees (10-8): The Yankees fall a spot this week because while their offense is still the second-best unit in the American League, their pitching is not exactly a strength right now. Which sounds a lot like the story from 2011. (3)
5. Chicago White Sox (10-9): Once again the Sox are ranked higher than I have them in my mind, even with this lovely three-game losing streak they're currently mired in. The reason for this is pretty simple. The pitching, save for last night, has been excellent, and they're actually third in the league in run differential. At the moment, that's good enough for fifth place and the top spot of AL Central teams.
6. Toronto Blue Jays (10-9): The Blue Jays offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders thanks in large part to Jose Bautista hitting only .197 on the season, but the pitching has been very solid and the players around Bautista in the lineup are producing in his absence. If the pitching continues at this pace and Bautista starts hitting then Toronto will stay in the AL East race all season long. (6)
7. Cleveland Indians (9-8): The Indians had been playing really well before allowing Kansas City to end its 12-game losing streak and take two games from them. The problem for the Tribe, though, has been a pitching staff that is not performing well at all. It would be a big boost for the Indians if Justin Masterson got back to the form of 2011. (7)
8. Oakland Athletics (10-10): The A's move up a spot this week, and as we just saw them in action this week, it's not a secret why. The offense is pretty terrible, but the pitching is young and it is good. And it will all be traded for other good young pitching at some point in July if recent history is any indication. (9)
9. Detroit Tigers (10-9): This is what happens when you get swept at home by the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers were in second place last week and then proceeded to go 1-5 over their last six games. It's easy to place the blame for this on the pitching, but the truth is that ever since the first week of the season when it came out on fire, the Tigers offense hasn't exactly been stellar. (2)
10. Seattle Mariners (10-10): I don't know how Seattle managed to sweep Detroit, I really don't. I know Felix Hernandez started one of those games, but this is still an offense that is incredibly challenged. (10)
11. Boston Red Sox (8-10): The Red Sox don't move up any spots this week, but they did go 4-2 since last week. There are still some holes on this team and injuries are killing them, but they're definitely playing a lot better than they had been. I like to blame the Twins for this. (11)
12. Kansas City Royals (5-14): It's not every week you go 2-5 and you move up a spot in the rankings, but the truth is that the Royals weren't playing as terrible as that 12-game losing streak would lead you to believe. It also helps when the two teams below you are playing terrible baseball as well.
13. Los Angeles Angels (6-13): What in the hell is going on in Anaheim? Even with Albert Pujols struggling as badly as he is, this team should still be strong enough to play better than it has been. They can't hit, they can't pitch and they aren't playing defense all that well, either. This can't last all season, but it may already be too late. It looks to be wild card or bust. (12)
14. Minnesota Twins (5-14): The good news for the Twins is that their offense is performing much better than last year's. The bad news is the pitching is terrible. It feels like every time I watch the Twins play this season they jump out to a lead in the first inning only to see the pitching staff immediately give it up the next inning. (14)

Instagram closes account of Bruce Willis' daughter over 'nipple' protestBy Julliane Love de Jesus
For "freeing her nipples," she got kicked out of Instagram.
For "freeing her nipples," she got kicked out of Instagram.
Take a bow, Byung-hun Lee. Mr. "Die Hard" himself, Bruce Willis, conceded that the Korean star is the "Frank Sinatra of fighting."
Our fascination with Bruce Willis goes back a long way, even before he hit it big in the movies with his "Die Hard" action film franchise. We first delighted in his antics as early as his hit TV show, "Moonlighting," which made him and co-star Cybil Shepard the toast of television.
LOS ANGELES—It all started when Bruce Willis, in a recent interview, answered a question about how his daughters called him. Somehow, the exchange led him to reveal his other nicknames. The macho action star said that one of them was… Brucey. "There are only two people in this whole town whom I've ever let […]
Action stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Jackie Chan are all on the wrong side of 50—but, don't count them out just yet, because they're all coming out with new, big-bang starrers this season!

This morning for breakfast I had a deeeelicious bowl of pumpkin pie oatmeal. It really never gets old.
This is probably one of my favorite bowls of oatmeal ever.
You know you want a bite ;).
Last night at 7:00 p.m. I set out to Home Depot to gather up my goodies to make a lightbox. I've been wanting to make one for a while and since I have a week off from my classes now seemed like the perfect time to do it!
An hour later (me + Home Depot = tragic horror scene. I couldn't find anything and help was no where in sight. Very scary. But needless to say, I'm safe home now away from all the hammers and nails *chills*) I arrived home and began to make my lightbox! I was beaming (or should I say shining) with excitement.
This picture was taken during the first stages of production ;). I was determined to make this lightbox PERFECT-O! (P.S. – like my rainbow socks? :D)
After cutting out the rectangles I channeled my Mr. Roboto…
A girls gotta have some fun!
Also, try to make sure your dog doesn't begin to devour his crumbly bone on your white tablecloth that you intend on using for your lightbox.
Eventually, Chippy got tired and buried himself in the tablecloth scraps…
Hehehe. Lights out for Chippy!
I'm guessing he doesn't like the 100 Watt light bulbs ;).
This is the disaster I made in our porch. Sorry mom, I know how much you're going to love looking at this eye sore while drinking your morning coffee and watching the news. Love, Julie.
There should be a light over top of the box (which is laying on the chair) but I couldn't find a high enough chair and I kinda liked my photos without the light on top. Don't you get any ideas now either, that ain't my American Girl Doll! …maybe.
Behind the scenes of Julie's lightbox set-up! Don't you just love those cords laying all over the floor!?
Here's a few pictures I took… I love love love the way my photos turned out from using the lightbox!
I still need to find a better fitting white background because sometimes the cardboard shows through. Any suggestions?
Oops, stem broke :).
I love jam!
The only object I want to be associating with with the word "nails" in it are these…
From now on, I'll stick to nail salons. Sorry Home Depot.

Garrett is a 15-year old boy living in the Alaskan wilderness with a menagerie of orphaned animals. Growing up close with nature has given him a deep understanding of nutritional needs required by diet sensitive animals on the reserve. Unfortunately, the untimely and tragic death of his mother propelled him into a downward spiral and he risked flunking out of school. This led to his father's decision to home-school Garrett.
His first assignment was to study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson. Written over 50 years ago, Dr. Gerson found that diet could, and did, cure cancer. Controversial at the time (and even today), Garrett took on the challenge of researching this amazing therapy, which drew the interest of his neighbors in the small Alaskan community.
With the help of Dr. Gerson's daughter, Charlotte Gerson, and grandson, Howard Strauss, they gave him the ammunition needed to go in search for the truth a truth that would affect not only him, but his entire Alaskan village all of whom wanted to know if these claims were true. After a number of cancer patients, who were diagnosed as terminal, shared their stories and their medical records with Garrett, it became abundantly clear that, contrary to the disinformation campaign spear-headed by the multi-billion dollar medical and pharmaceutical industry, a cure for virtually all cancers and chronic diseases does exist and has existed for over 80 years!

Two Cheers for Anarchism: What business can learn from Occupy Wall Street

Views: 2,491
FORTUNE -- Should you hold even the slightest sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street crowd and the anti-globalists who took on the World Trade Organization in the "Battle in Seattle," you'll find that James C. Scott's Two Cheers for Anarchism makes their arguments far more coherently than they do. Even if you consider them obnoxious mobs of hypocritical hooligans, you'll still find yourself taking the book's arguments seriously. If you actually admire them, then you'll love this book; it's the most sophisticated Ivy League support you're likely to see.
Two Cheers for Anarchism: What business can learn from Occupy Wall Street
Insubordination can be a managerial virtue, argues James C. Scott in Two Cheers for Anarchism.
By Michael Schrage, contributor
November 21, 2012
FORTUNE -- Should you hold even the slightest sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street crowd and the anti-globalists who took on the World Trade Organization in the "Battle in Seattle," you'll find that James C. Scott's Two Cheers for Anarchism makes their arguments far more coherently than they do. Even if you consider them obnoxious mobs of hypocritical hooligans, you'll still find yourself taking the book's arguments seriously. If you actually admire them, then you'll love this book; it's the most sophisticated Ivy League support you're likely to see.
Alternately insightful, inciteful, and insulting, Scott makes an idiosyncratically intellectual case that technocratic elites aren't to be trusted, and insubordination is a virtue to be cherished. Needless to say, Scott is the Sterling Professor of Political Science at Yale.
Where "community organizer" cum political provocateur Saul Alinksy had his Rules for Radicals, Scott effectively offers aphorisms for anarchists. This book is about the subversion of institutional power. In short, it's Alinsky with tenure.
Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, et al, the global scalability of individual acts of insubordination creates a "new normal" for seemingly entrenched elites and potential rebels alike. That's why it's important to understand the intellectual -- and anti-intellectual -- underpinnings of modern resistance movements, whether you're running Exxon Mobil (XOM), Google (GOOG), Greenpeace, or an authoritarian/totalitarian state.
"Acts of disobedience are of interest to us when they are exemplary, and especially when, as examples, they set off a chain reaction, prompting others to emulate them," Scott observes. "Then we are in the presence less of an individual act of cowardice or conscience -- perhaps both -- than of a social phenomenon that can have massive social effects. Multiplied many thousandfold, such petty acts of refusal may, in the end, make an utter shamble of the plans dreamed up by generals and heads of state ... But just as millions of anthozoan polyps create, willy-nilly, a coral reef, so do thousands upon thousands of acts of insubordination and evasion create an economic or political barrier reef of their own."
Exploring "everyday forms of resistance," as Scott calls them, is central to his work. Power and institutions are frequently defined in the context of the disobedience, subversiveness, and insubordination they provoke. Ironically, Scott points out, slavish adherence to plans and policies often proves the most effective way to revolt. He delights in examples of how "work to rule" -- that is, ruthlessly following formal institutional guidelines and regulation to the letter -- virtually guarantee that operations will grind to a halt. (Cf. Alinsky's Rule 4: "Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.")
Discursive and impressionistic, Two Cheers for Anarchism is different both in tone and substance from Scott's magisterial Seeing Like a State, his 1999 opus that dismantled the technocratic pretentions and arrogance of what he called "high modernism" -- the political sensibility and aesthetic that complex cities, states and regions can be meaningfully planned and programmed by sophisticated elites.
With an almost clinical dispassion, Scott explored the not-so-grand failures of grand planning, and the reasons why grand planners so consistently delude themselves. His passionate support of vernacular, bottom-up innovation, by contrast, made abundantly clear that he had thought seriously about how organizations should strive to create meaningful balances of power between individual initiative and institutional imperatives. It's a wonderful, breathtaking book.
Two Cheers is more personal, more intimate and, frankly, more self-indulgent. The best and most resonant part of the book is the "Preface and Acknowledgements." The reader will come away with an excellent sense of Scott's reasons and rationale for writing a smaller book in which anarchism's questionable virtues loom so large. Scott's internal ambivalence and self-doubt become those of his readers. Every serious leader or manager worried about the trade-offs between empowerment and oversight, or informal versus formal processes, or drawing lines between constructive dissent and insubordination, will see themselves here.
My favorite slice was "Fragment 16 -- A Modest, Counterintuitive Example: Red Light Removal." Here Scott describes Dutch traffic engineer Hans Moderman's successful effort to improve traffic safety and civic comity by removing traffic lights from city centers. Abandoning traffic lights made everyone -- pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers alike -- more alert and aware of one another. Why? Because the absence of imposed external controls elicited greater personal autonomy and responsibility.
"The effect of what was a paradigm shift in traffic management was euphoria," Scott writes. "Small towns in the Netherlands put up one sign boasting that they were 'Free of Traffic Signs' ... and a conference discussing the new philosophy proclaimed 'Unsafe is safe.'"
Is red light removal really "anarchic?" Or is the call to greater autonomy and accountability what's most important here? For all Scott's philosophizing about "anarchism," his book can and should also be read as a manifesto about how individuals should choose to govern themselves in organizations -- as citizens, not subjects; as employees, not wage slaves; as professionals, not rent-seekers. In this sense, Scott comes across more as a populist than an anarchist.
Consequently, it's both a pity and a flaw that Two Cheers is written as if Twitter and the Internet didn't exist. Marx, whatever his shortcomings as a person and political economist, was an astute observer of technology and its implications. For whatever reason, Scott is not. Technology appears in the scenery rather than as a major character or context. Given that so many power relationships and so many opportunistic subversions are enabled by digital media (hello, Wikileaks and Anonymous!), Scott missed real opportunities to upgrade his politico-organizational insights for the post-industrial age.
Similarly, the markets that most interest Scott are the black and gray ones. This would have been a better book had Scott recast at least a few of his everyday resistance arguments into more economic contexts. The maker movement and the rise of open-source technologies go unmentioned, although both support his anarchic arguments and sympathies.
Nevertheless, Two Cheers for Anarchism deserves more than two cheers in review because Scott usefully expands the vocabularies that leaders and managers need to have around the critical issues of power, control, and resistance. Every effective leader I know loses sleep over how best to empower their talent and constructively align their people. And all the successful leaders I know -- especially the entrepreneurs -- have at least a little streak of anarchism -- of creative destruction -- inside of them. For this reason alone, they will find Scott's insights and incites worth their time.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The flexibility given with creating invitations through Wedding Paper Divas is great! We love our invitations and how they turned out."
"I ordered the invitations, RSVP cards and enclosure card for reception information and it all came looking better than I had even expected. I'm having a very neutral wedding so I went with the silver/gray text and it was the perfect touch. They are elegant and timeless invitations, I definitely will not be looking back in 10 years wondering what was I thinking."
"Love this invite and was so pleased to see you could customize the color. It was the perfect mix of traditional yet modern. I just wish there were more matching sets to go with it!"
"With only a few weeks to plan my wedding, I was so excited to find an on-line source that was easy to use in creating our wedding invitations. The design options were numerous (almost overwhelming!), but they give you lots of ways to narrow down your search for the perfect invitation. I was able to design and save several options, show them to my fiance and we made a very quick decision. Way easier than the old way of doing this (pre-internet)! The invitation arrived very close to the estimated delivery date...only one day late, but that's because I did a major rush order. I feel that Wedding Paper Divas did a fantastic job meeting my timelines and provided me with excellent customer service during the process. Thanks!!"
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and I am very happy with the result! The Ecru paper is very high quality and durable, and the thermography is so beautiful! I did my research by ordering a few samples first to figure out what paper and font I wanted, and I ended up with the perfect invitations!"

No matter where they operate, their goal is to remain at the forefront of the fiber-cement industry, capitalizing on their global leadership in building products and manufacturing and technology for both new home construction and remodeling.

In an extraordinary move, an expert in President Obama's administration has challenged the federal health care law's mandate to arbitrarily reduce funding for Medicare under as "unsustainable," "unworkable," and likely to block some people from seeing their doctors.
Richard Foster serves as chief actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers Medicare coverage, and his job is to predict future health care costs. His office wrote a memo in August 2010 that objects to key estimates in the annual report about the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. Trustees of those two funds are also Obama administration officials, led by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathryn Sebelius.
The trustees' annual report claims the federal health care bill "improves the financial outlook for Medicare substantially." But Mr. Foster's staff strongly disputed that, writing that the report's projections "do not represent the 'best estimate' of actual future Medicare spending." Even worse, people with Medicare coverage will "almost certainly face increasing severe problems with access to care," the memo says.
The memo also pointed out the annual report doesn't consider that required spending cuts for Medicare could stop people who do see their doctors from getting the best possible health care, which could result in more patients falling ill or dying early.
Notably, the chief actuary must predict future growth in Medicare enrollment and spending each year, and give that information to a new federal agency created by health care reform called the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). That board will have virtually unchecked power to adopt laws setting prices and payments for nearly all medical services.
The Goldwater Institute has identified IPAB as a critical reason why the federal health care bill is unconstitutional and must be struck down. Otherwise, as the chief actuary's office has predicted, the mandated changes to Medicare likely will result in poorer health care for more people.
Diane Cohen is an attorney with the Goldwater Institute Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation.

Watch me ... watch me! I got it! Watch me ... I got it. HEY! I got somethin' that makes me wanna shout. I got somethin' that tells me what it's all about. Huh, I got soul and I'm super bad!James Joseph Brown
Get up, Get on up. Stay on the scene. Get on up, Like a Sex Machine. Get on up, Get up. Shake your arm, Then use your form. Stay on the scene, like a Sex Machine. You gotta have the feeling, Sure as you're born.James Joseph Brown
Look a'here, some people say we got a lot of malice Some say it's a lotta nerve I say we won't quit moving Til we get what we deserve. We've been 'buked and we've been scourned We've been treated bad, talked about As just as sure as you're born But just as sure as it take Two eyes to make a pair, huh Brother, we can't quit until we get our share. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud.James Joseph Brown
Mama, come here quick, Bring me that lickin' stick. Mama, come here quick, Bring me that lickin' stick. People standin', Standin' in a trance. Sister out in the backyard Doin' the outside dance.James Joseph Brown
Our love is kind of stalled, baby. But it ain't about the sex. I'd trade the roses and the negligees If we could just connect. I go deeper when you look into my eyes. There's a place where neither one of us can hide. And it's up to us to reinvent the game. Love it when you call my name.James Joseph Brown
When you kiss me, And ya miss me. You hold me tight, Make everything all right. I break out - in a cold sweat heh!James Joseph Brown
This is a mans world. This is a mans world. But it would be nothing, nothing Without a women or a girl.James Joseph Brown
When I hold you in my arms, I know that I can't do no wrong. And when I hold you in my arms, My love can't do me no harm. And I feel nice, like sugar and spice I feel nice, like sugar and spice. So nice, so nice, well I got you.James Joseph Brown
Come here sister... Papa's in the swing. He ain't too hip... about that new breed babe. He ain't no drag, Papa's got a brand new bag.James Joseph Brown
Try me. Try me. And your love will always be true. Oh I need you (I need you). Hold me. Hold me. I want you right here by my side. Hold me. Hold me. And your love we won't hide.James Joseph Brown
Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.James Joseph Brown
It doesn't matter how you travel it, it's the same road. It doesn't get any easier when you get bigger, it gets harder. And it will kill you if you let it.James Joseph Brown
Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all.James Joseph Brown
To make it in life, you and your wife need to be in the same business. That has been my problem all along. My wives didn't know what I was doing. I would come back home from the road to a stranger. That's no good.James Joseph Brown
This is an issue couples have to be straight on and agree on before they walk down that aisle; otherwise there is no way their marriage will survive.James Joseph Brown
I would warn against anyone marrying a person with more than a ten-year age difference. It almost never works. It is difficult to find things to talk about, to use similar reference points, and to operate at the same speed of life. Another problem is that both sides usually don't want the same things at the same time.James Joseph Brown

text: What a clueless and condescending review. It's "insufferably elitist" to name this monument after Gramsci? Does Pollack have any idea who Gramsci was, other than "the Marxist philosopher and founder of the Italian Communist Party, who was jailed by Mussolini and died in prison in 1937"? And she's even wrong about that -- he died after being released from prison. Gramsci is the most important Marxist thinker other than Marx himself and his influence has been and remains enormous and international. Stuart Hall, Gayatri Spivak, Cornel West, Paulo Freire, Edward Said, Eqbal Ahmad and many, many others are indebted to Gramsci. His ideas have shaped political science, critical theory, cultural studies and postcolonial theory. And despite Pollack's complaint that honoring Gramsci with a monument in the Bronx is "Eurocentric," Gramsci's concepts of hegemony and subalternity have informed the work of many non-Europeans, some of whom I've mentioned here. Pollack thinks it would have been "better" if the monument honored Frantz Fanon. But as she acknowledges, the Forest House residents love the Gramsci monument and even find it "empowering." Yet for Pollack, who thinks she knows better, they probably shouldn't. Now who's the elitist here? And by the way, no one cares about Fanon anymore. He's inconsequential compared to Gramsci. Note: My one star rating here is for Pollack's review, not the monument.


text: Square Enix teamed up with a youtuber by the name of "pwnisher" to create this live action mini movie which advertises Sleeping Dogs. It's so well made that it looks like legitimate footage from a kung fu film. The fights have a heavy emphasis on using objects in the environment to defeat opponents, which is of course a piece of inspiration that was taken from martial arts films in the first place. This video is way more appropriate for Sleeping Dogs than a CGI trailer could probably ever be, so this was a smart move on the part of Square Enix.

Rose Bowl 100January 7th, 2014 at 11:16 am by Lenise Ligon under Uncategorized
Monday, January 6, 2014 was my first "official" day back to work after being off for the holidays. Oh, and I also went to the ROSE BOWL!!! Clearly, I am still gleaming from my trip to Pasadena.
Don't think for a second that I don't realize how fortunate I am. I mean it's not every day that your school's team gets invited to play in the Rose Bowl. In fact, it's been 26 years since Michigan State last played there.
I didn't go to a lot of games throughout my college years. There just wasn't any time between all the internships, working full-time, being a full-time student, and running the university housing channel. But I more than made up for the lost time with this experience. I had the time of my life!
And to think I almost didn't make it there. Travel was just a nightmare. There were delays coming and going to California because of the arctic air. I met a fellow Spartan in Los Angeles who had traveled from Michigan. Her flight was more than two hours delayed from Detroit! I was coming from Mobile. So while the weather wasn't an issue in the Port City, the backlog from other flights along the East Coast was.
I flew out on New Year's Eve. I didn't land at the LAX airport until 11:58 p.m. I had to ring in 2014 with more than 2.6 million other passengers, according to Los Angeles World Airports. It was definitely a stark difference from the last 10 years or so of celebrating the night with my husband—who's a New Year's Eve baby.
Tickets to the game weren't cheap. We paid $650 for those seats. But they were right in the end zone! The cost of being at that game was priceless.
I still can't believe my Michigan State Spartans won the Rose Bowl, and I was there to watch it all happen! It was an experience that I will never forget. No amount of words or pictures can do it justice.
I just remember walking to our seats. We kept going down, and down, and down the rows—looking at each other with each step. Each time we got closer to the field we screamed. When we finally made it to our row, row "G," we started jumping up and down! We were just five rows up from the field!!! Needless to say, we were ecstatic!
I searched high and low for Michigan State gear, but all of the vendor stands at the stadium were sold out. That certainly matched the enthusiasm of Michigan State fans at the game, too. Spartan Nation was so pumped and simply silenced the Stanford people. It's probably why they brought out the riot gear toward the end of the fourth quarter and only on the Michigan State side. From what I could see, everyone kept their cool, so the riot gear wasn't necessary.
I was only in California for three days. In addition to the game, I also managed to take a mini-tour of the wine country. It's amazing what a beautiful country we have. I went to a city outside Santa Ana called Los Olivos. The rolling hills among the vineyards are just breathtaking.
A girlfriend of mine who lives in LA is a producer on a sitcom starring comedian Tim Allen, called Last Man Standing. She was kind enough to give me a tour of the studios. So I got to see the other side of TV—the entertainment aspect. It was pretty cool.
By the way this entire blog was written by voice control. So if there are any typos or grammatical errors, blame Siri (LOL). Man I love technology. I also love those Michigan State Spartans! Go green.

Doc Rivers expects Boston Celtics to be quiet at trade deadline
A road trip from hell looms. The Celtics host the Blazers Friday, then hit the road for an eight-game-in-13-days, ahem, vacation that includes tilts with the Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Hawks and 76ers. By the end of that trip, the Celtics will have a better idea where they stand in the playoff hierarchy, and perhaps a mountain of bruises, and possibly a pounding migraine headache.
By the end of that trip, the Celtics might also look entirely different. During the middle of the road swing arrives the trade deadline, which threatens to scramble Boston's roster as Danny Ainge looks to the future.
It's possible that the Celtics return to Boston with a more youthful lineup, one devoid of certain future Hall of Famers. But Doc Rivers does not expect many changes. (Boston Globe)
"I'm sure there will be more rumors, there's nothing you can do about that,'' Rivers said. "We pretty much know what we want to do.
"Like I said a week ago, I'd be surprised if we did anything. Obviously, if we find someone out there who wants to give us a player, we'll take them.''
Rivers' prediction of a quiet deadline could very well prove accurate. But don't think for a second Ainge will lay dormant. He's the type of GM who is either making moves or plotting to make moves. If the Celtics are silent — and that could very well happen — it won't be due to lack of effort. It will be a result of Ainge not finding a suitable deal for Boston's future.
4 Responses to "Doc Rivers expects Boston Celtics to be quiet at trade deadline"
Make or break time right here. Who knows? It may be the road trip from heaven but judging by the erratic play of the Celtics, I won't hold my breath. Let's go Celtics. Banner 18.
