Why Masterchef works
Masterchef has truly been a phenomenon in Australia over the past 2 seasons. A ratings boon which is rare in our fragmented media environment. In fact it was watched by an average 3.54 million, up from 3.29 million last year. This makes it the most watched non sporting event in Australian history. It's not hard to find a Masterchef fan, but not being one I was curious what all the fuss was about so I endured a few episodes. I didn't catch the bug and so asked some colleagues why they believe (from an advertising, marketing and media perspective) it did so well. The best description I got was from Paul Gardner who summarised it as follows:
He said there has been three distinct phases in the evolution of reality TV.
1. Hoons & Havoc. Lock up a group of highly charged youths in a house filled with alcohol and sexualy energy and see what happens. Think Big Brother.
2. The Challenge. Take a group of normal people outside of their comfort zone to compete in a Spartan like fashion. See what behaviour humans will stoop to in order to win and prove superiority. An observation of social interaction at a draconian level. Think Survivor.
3. Denied Talent. Take a group of people who have some genuine flair for something, who have not been given the chance (for whatever reason) to display their talent. Give the competitors potential for a new start, to chance become entrepreneurs. Make the show inclusive, yet competitive. Add a sense of collaboration and educational good for all. Build a result into the show which isn't purely financial but provides recognition and a new direction. Overall, make it represent the values of a modern civilised society. This is what Masterchef has done.
The thing that's really impressive about Masterchef from a marketing perspective is that they took the well worn genre of 'cooking' understood the important nuances of human behaviour and made it something much bigger than anyone ever expected.
How not to run a promotion – the Chef's Hat
I had a discussion with Luke Waldren who had a very poor customer service experience from the Chef's Hat in Melbourne. For those who don't know, the Chef's Hat is regardred as the premier retailer in our city for restraunters, cafe owners and hard core Foodies. They sell a range of appliances and all things related to food retailing – except for the actual food.
Luke went down to buy a a Kitchen Aid appliance, for which he knew there was a promotion at the Chef's Hat retail store. The offer was pretty simple: Buy a Kitchen Aid blender and recieve a free Kicthen Aid knife worth $49.95. A nice bonus offer for consumers. The offer is below – which mind you is on the front page of their website.
So when Luke arrives at the cash register to pay, there is no mention of the free knife. He then proceeds to ask and says. "Hey, isn't there a free knife that comes with the blender." The retail assistant claims no knowledge of the promotion. But luke brings out the iPhone and shows the bonus offer straight from their website as proof. The retail assistant then asks for the manager over the load speaker to come and help. When the manager arrives this is the conversation that transpired:
Retail assistant: "Are we giving away knives with these blenders?"
Manager: "if we have to…"
The manager then leans over to a draw filled with said knives, grabs one and throws it across the table to give to Luke. As though he got caught out. As though he lost one of his precious inventory to god forbid, a customer who entered the store because of the promotion.
If you are going to run a promotion. You have to mean it.
We have to advise those who didn't know about it. We need to share the benefit with delight. We have to share the message that we go the extra mile and create more value than our competitors. If we are going to act like we don't really want to participate, then we shouldn't. Or worse, if we are going to treat our customers with disdain, then we'll end up on blogs like this spreading the bad word.
Know what you're selling
It was Friday night and I was having a drinks with colleagues who were discussing the relative taste profiles of various beers. I went on challenge the crowd that they wouldn't know which beers was which in a blind taste test. None of them believed me.
Turns out it's true. I once worked in a marketing role at Fosters, and 90% of beer drinkers cannot pick any brand within the same type (eg lager, pillsner, bitter ale). Beer is not bought on taste, it's bought by brand. Sure, there are other factors which come into the decision like availability and price. But both trail and subsequent loyalty is never about taste.
So we have to know what we are selling. Not in the primary sense (the physical product) but in the secondary sense, the real motivation which makes us choose brand A over brand B. And in most categories it's not what it seems
Beer = fashion
Electricity = company interactions
Coffee = socialisation
Cameras = memory library
For entrepreneurs the message is simple, we must know what we are selling. It's most often how we market the secondary benefit which will drive our brand over the competitor.
Everything to everyone
We live in a wordy world. It seems there's a new acronym, piece of business jargon, or self defining adjective emerging every minute of the day. It's easy to get caught up in the language, the jargon and forget what business and startups are all about:
Building stuff. Buying something for $1 and selling it for $2. Having a laugh along the way.
Keep it simple. Don't try and be everything to everyone.
With all this in mind I'll hand over to George Carlin – and yes, this video is worth every second of the 3.56 minutes it takes to watch.
Customer empathy
My cousin recently purchased a new home. For most of us such a large financial commitment is quite overwhelming.
During the settlement process Chris had a discussion with his conveyancer about the impending transaction and the issues in his mind. His conveyancer said:
"Look, I know this isn't the type of thing you do everyday, but I do. And I'll make sure it runs smoothly and you get looked after."
Such a simple statement showed terrific empathy. It built confidence in the service provider, and eased the mind of the customer. It's this type of language which creates conversations and can set apart entrepreneurs.
Language matters. What language do you use?
beware of averages
If we added up all the men, and all the women on our planet, we'd find that, on average, the typical adult human being had exactly one breast and one testicle. Yet how many people actually fit that description?
Statistics are used the create meaning. Yet, very often they create the opposite. In a world for of numbers, statistics and analytics (yes, even the Google kind) we are better off deciding what we want to find out, than we are looking at the available statistics and asking what they mean.
Startup Blog says: First decide what you want to find out, then devise a way to measure it.
The art of innovation leadership
I was speaking with my brother today when he nailed the topic of innovation leadership in a few words.
He said; You can't ask the market what they want, you need to invent it, build it and tell them why the future as you conceive it is better.
I really liked his sentiments.
The best business phrase ever – update
Incentives shape behaviour.
It's true of all people, at all times. It's deeply coded in our DNA, and unlikely to change anytime soon.here's some thought starters on the depth of the phrase.
Incentives: are not necessarily monetary, rather ideas which will improve the perceived situation of the decision maker.
Shape: for things to be shaped it takes time, they must be moulded, caressed, developed and iterated.
Behaviour: is action related. It is about what people do, not what they think about or like, it's about motion.
Whenever I make a decision as a marketer and an entrepreneur I think deeply about these 3 words.
Q & A – New Media and Small Business
I was asked to answer a few questions at a talk I gave last week at the Nationwide Networking Event. It was aimed at Small businesses with the topic about new media and the advantages of being small. I thought it was a nice snippet of ideas worth sharing here.
Q: What type of changes can we expect from media in 2010 and how do we need to prepare for it as business professionals?
A: Media will fragment further, it's increasingly like fashion with new ideas appearing daily. The art of value, like with fashion is by going with the classics and choosing the right style for the brand you want to build. Match your environment, by being involved in the right channels.
Q: Where do you see the role of the blog in the future?
A: Increasingly important. Blogs are a trusted source, because bloggers become, or are an expert on their topic of choice. This is because all good blogs are topic specific. And people want to deal with experts.
Q: What can we expect from the evolution of twitter and our capacity to use it as a marketing medium?
A: If we use it as a marketing medium we've already lost. It's a conversation…. Conversation can turn into business, but it is primarily a conversation. First we need to be a resource. A resource to others, from which we can build trust and valued relationships. These may eventually lead a business relationship.
Q: What trends are coming from America that we need to be aware of?
A: Trends are global now. We don't have to look overseas to see it. Things arrive simultaneously. It's not like it was 20 years ago where our friends return from sojourns overseas to tell us all about the cool things they saw, and we have to wait for them to appear in our market a few years later. Now it's on our desktop the day it happens. This is been further facilitated by web tools such as Springwise, Twitter and Youtube.
Q: How do we (small business people) benefit from the changes in the media landscape?
A: Barriers to entry have been removed so anyone can play. But it requires a long term consistent effort. New media requires a low financial investment, and large human capital input. Where as old media requires a large financial investment with little human effort. At least now we have to choice. In addition large companies have been (so far) pretty bad at using new media. It creates an advantage for us.
Q: How can we better utilize technology tor reduce our costs and increase our profits?
A: Shift from being doers, to becoming project managers. Outsource where ever possible. It's easier now with all the tools we have at our disposal like elance and skype. Why do we even need an office? Is it because we need to, or because we don't trust the people we work with?
Q: Your blog has 50,000 readers a month, how did you do that?
A: Two simple things. One blog entry every day. Staying on topic (entrepreneurship / startups). Then wordpress and Google did the rest. It's not a trick, it just takes consistent effort.
Q: What is the meaning of micro brand building and how would it be relevant to soloprenuers?
A: Build your personal brand first. That's the first part of micro branding, becoming known for something. Having a skill you can share with others. Then eventually cross fertilize to your business brand.
Q: What are the simplest things we can do to build a micro brand?
A: Have a tight focus area of interest. Share our lessons honestly and openly. Frequency of output.
Q: How do we protect our brands?
A: Not with IP and legal stuff…. Most of that is a simple waste of money. We protect it with customers, innovation and reliability.
Q: What one piece of advice would you give to those of us that need clients and need them quickly?
A: Cold call. Not on the phone, but turn up and talk.
Q: What books have influenced you?
Q: What marketers / speakers have influenced you?
A: Steven Wright (comedian) he taught me how to flip my perspective for alternative solutions.

Making up Time
Trying to find the right products for your makeup routine can cost you time and money, but this local makeup artist saves you both as she designs and accompanies you on a shopping trip.
After she worked her way through high school and college at Victoria's Secret Beauty, Elizabeth Newitt, owner of Makeup by Elizabeth, had many of her friends and family members turning to her for makeup tips and advice. Now, she specializes in a service unlike those of any other makeup artist.
Newitt's "Makeup Makeover" allows you to save time and money, as you get to take Newitt shopping with you so that she can make individualized makeup recommendations. Before hitting the shops, though, Newitt consults with each client to determine her wants and needs in relation to her beauty routine. Those stipulations include the client's budget, and Newitt is ready to work with almost any budget, whether it's $20 or $200 plus. Newitt also asks each client about her lifestyle and skin type.
After the initial consultation, it's time for a shopping spree! Newitt takes her clients to different stores, depending on their budget and other needs. This idea speaks to Newitt's objectivity. She won't profit from anything you buy, so it allows you to trust her. She's not a sales counter woman trying to push the latest line. She's your ally, trying to pair you with what will work for you (not her pocketbook).
Stops for the shopping spree could include anywhere from a drug store to Sephora, but based on the initial consultation, Newitt makes each stop selection for a specific purpose and purchase. When going into a store, she has an agenda of what to buy — foundation, mascara, eye shadow, etc. Generally, she is extra particular about her foundation choices.
"The biggest mistake that I see is normally with their foundation. Most of the time, they're not using one that's right for their skin type or even right for the look that they're going for," Newitt says. Because the foundation sets the tone for the face, Newitt generally recommends spending a little more money on this product. For example, on a $50 budget, it would be perfectly normal for the foundation to cost $30, Newitt says.
After about 30 to 45 minutes shopping, each of Newitt's clients should have a new makeup wardrobe, customized to their look and lifestyle. But Newitt doesn't leave her clients to fend for themselves. Included in the price of the Makeup Makeover, Newitt provides a makeup lesson so that you can walk away, having the products and knowing exactly how to make them work for you.

Revenue from the bookstore is given, by the Friends, to the Library for the purchase of new books and to sponsor some library programs.

Shortly after the beginning of 2005, Yuma's only authorized Harley-Davidson® dealership moved to it's current home on Gila Ridge Road. The new 20,000 square foot building sits on the hillside, overlooking Interstate 8 and Highway 95 and lays claim to a beautiful view of the valley from its shaded deck at the back of the building. The owner, Robert Erxleben, better known as Bobby, a long time Yuma resident moved to the area when he was just a toddler. Bobby's long history with the dealership began in 1971 when he started to hang around the motorcycle shop. Nine years old and too young to drive, he rode his bicycle from his home every day after school and every Saturday to work at the shop. When asked what he did at the shop at such a tender age, Bobby replied, "I washed bikes, cleaned the floor, wiped off tools, anything to get greasy. That's where all the fun was!" Read More...

We knew we'd be getting a different kind of Harry Potter when Warner Bros. hired Alfonso Cuarón -- the stylish Mexican auteur behind 2002's lauded carnal carnival ''Y Tu Mamá También'' -- to succeed Chris Columbus and direct ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.'' But an allegory for our Patriot Act age? That's a surprise.
Why ''HP3''?
ALFONSO CUARÓN: The moment I read the book, I was hooked. It's a myth for our times. You read about Fudge and the Ministry of Magic -- that's Tony Blair! And Guantánamo is not that different from Azkaban. There are Dementors over there, too. [Smiles impishly]
You've made some cosmetic changes to J.K. Rowling's world. Is she cool with your renovations?
Really cool. She actually encouraged me: ''Please don't be literal.'' At the same time, we wrote a scene where there was this organ, and tiny people were jumping on the keyboards. She said, ''Nope, no tiny people at Hogwarts.''
While you were shooting, Rowling's fifth book was released. What was the reaction on the set?
There are what I call ''the Harry Potter Talibans'' here -- they read it in one weekend. I promised I was not going to read it, because I'm a little over-Harry Potterized. The day the book came out, I saw it and said f--- it, I'm just going to see how it opens. Next thing you know, I've read it all.
So you're having fun?
Loads. Though after so many bluescreens, you just snooze. The other day, I joked, ''Give me a sex scene! Somebody, please: Get naked!''

OLYMPIA – Although the state's unemployment numbers may be slowly declining, the number of open jobs for skilled workers is rising and could double in the next five years, a business group said Wednesday.
A new study by an international consulting firm estimates the state's businesses have about 25,000 openings for highly skilled workers in computer sciences, engineering and health care that don't have people to fill them, Steve Mullin of the Washington Roundtable said. . .
WASHINGTON — A group of education and industry professionals from Washington state offered U.S. lawmakers their suggestions to promote science, technology, education and math instruction Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
The meeting, co-hosted by Washington STEM, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Sen. Patty Murray, focused on the skills gap that exists in the four disciplines between graduates and industries. The panel included representatives from Microsoft, Highline School District south of Seattle and Greater Spokane Incorporated President Rich Hadley.
Washington state ranks first in the nation in STEM jobs per capita. However, it ranks 46th in advanced degrees earned by students in those fields.
Hadley stressed the need to align class offerings in early and secondary education with the demands of the modern workforce. He said health care training was key in the Spokane area.
"The life science industry in Spokane is probably the largest benefactor of increased STEM training," Hadley said. He pointed to several biomedical programs at Spokane Public Schools as successes of STEM-targeted instruction in eastern Washington.
Sen. Maria Cantwell addressed the panel, calling for compulsory computer science education in secondary curricula and expressing her interest in an immigration proposal that would channel fees from skilled worker visa applications to domestic STEM education funding.

City sees familiar signs of coming market
Notice a slightly longer wait at your favorite restaurant, or a few more out-of-state license plates than usual?
You guessed it, it's market time.
Although the High Point Market officially doesn't start until Saturday, crowds of buyers, exhibitors and other attendees already have made their way to the Furniture Capital of the World.
Freida Espinosa, owner of new Southwest restaurant Maize Cantina, said she's excited about her first market.
"It's picked up businesswise," she said. "The buzz has spread because it's new. We've had a lot of people being sent over from people working at market. We've seen a lot of new faces, all from out of town, and it's been great. We've already seen some repeats, and we're excited about that as well."
High Point University students Kayla Kucerik, Jourdan Sullivan, Alexandra Trenary, Susannah Murphy and Becca Rowan also are excited about their market debuts on Sunday with rugs they designed for Abu Rugs.
Abu Khan, owner of Abu Rugs in Jamestown, gave five HPU interior design majors the opportunity to design rugs that he then produced for them. Two rugs – one a collaborative project between four students and one designed by a single student – were put into production and will be unveiled at the Abu Rugs showroom during the High Point Market.
"Being able to immerse ourselves into this very rewarding experience was invaluable," says Alexandra Trenary, part of the four-person design team. "We learned so much along the way building off what we have learned at HPU, and we can now say that we are full-fledged rug designers."
The market officially begins Saturday and runs through Thursday, Oct. 20.

I snooped, I found, and now I'm stuck?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 08-28-2011 - 10:01am
So long story short, I was married for 15 years and have been divorced for 4 years now.

Sounds like he is fishing for a little fun on the side IF the opportunity presents itself. Sorry but I think it's just a matter of time before he cheats on you with one of these women he flirts with. I think he wants to have his cake and eat it too. Like most men they want a stable GF or wife to take care of them, but also want some fun on the side. I think it's time for an honest discussion and you should tell him he accidentally left his fb open and what you found. Tell him " If he feels he needs that attention and constant validation from other women he needs to tell you that" so you can move on to someone that YOU are enough for.
|Sun, 08-28-2011 - 1:36pm
Maybe you didn't know the whole life story going in, but now that you DO know it.......why are you stuck?
|Sun, 08-28-2011 - 4:19pm
To forestall your next question, which I think would be, "How do I get rid of him?"--I wouldn't engage him in conversation about his issues at all, because he will just explain them away and charm his way back into your good graces. All you have to say is, "This relationship doesn't work for me anymore," and hand him his suitcase.
|Sun, 08-28-2011 - 11:32pm
You are not married and your bf cannot stop this behavior that is interferring with any sort of honest intimacy or long term relationship that you want.
You cannot change him.
|Mon, 08-29-2011 - 9:00am
I don't get why you're stuck. You've only been dating this guy seven months, how the hell does that make you "stuck"? You feel "stuck" because you don't want to leave the sexiest guy you've ever dated.
So he has two failed marriages, you are getting into fights already, he has women fawning over him, he's a facebook addict at 49 years old, can't afford to save money, and makes you look like you're controlling him.
Maybe you need to stop focusing on what this guy is telling you ("I want to spend my life with you blah blah blah") and start looking at the reality, that your boyfriend is a loser who is still acting like a flirt, only keeping it a secret from you.
Stop convincing yourself that you're "stuck" with this loser.
|Mon, 08-29-2011 - 11:18am
I think (I'm 51) that I would rather be single and happy then with a guy who has so much baggage he needs a porter to help carry it around!
|Mon, 08-29-2011 - 11:50am
But ur post is making me realise that relationships are never plain sailing whatever age you are!

Gosport Borough Council has adopted the national 'Food Hygiene Rating Scheme' which was launched throughout Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent during National Food Safety Week (6-13 June 2011).
The 'Food Hygiene Rating Scheme' is a local authority/Food Standards Agency partnership initiative. The national scheme provides consumers with information about hygiene standards in food premises at the time they are inspected by local food safety officers to check compliance with legal requirements – the food hygiene rating given reflects the inspection findings.
The purpose is to allow consumers to make informed choices about the places where they eat out or shop for food, thereby encouraging businesses to improve their hygiene standards.
The hygiene standards found at the time of inspection are rated on a scale of "0" to "5". At the bottom of the scale is '0' – this means urgent improvement is required. At the top of the scale is '5' – this means the hygiene standards are very good.
By the end of June 2011 40% of local authorities in England had signed up to this scheme. The food hygiene rating of a food business is displayed on the Food Standards Agency's website at www.food.gov.uk/ratings.
This page will be updated soon. In the meantime, further information is available at www.food.gov.uk/ratings.

Approximately 23 percent of the yearly child abuse cases investigated by the HOPE Child Advocacy Center are substantiated.
Executive Director Teresa Grant told the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland Thursday afternoon the organization handles 500 to 600 cases each year from Monroe, McMinn, Polk and Bradley counties. The Cleveland office established in 2010 handles about 250 of the yearly cases. She said the numbers for sexual abuse and other types of physical abuse of children are consistently steady.
VISTA Brandi Keen provided a rundown for the Kiwanians.
She explained the center is a part of a multidisciplinary team comprised of law enforcement, the District Attorney's Office and the Department of Children Services.
A standard procedure is applied to every case to determine the particulars of each child's story. The organization first receives a report and has the nonoffending caregiver bring the child in for an appointment. The child is encouraged during the forensic interview to provide an accurate account of the alleged abuse. The family advocate speaks with the nonoffending caregiver while the child is in the interview. The team then determines the best plan of action.
Added Keen, "The amount of time and hard work I have seen go into every case is unimaginable and humbling."
Grant confirmed most cases seen by the HOPE Center are sexual in nature. The organization created several programs to educate and lower the amount of such cases. Keen explained the goal of HOPE is to "tackle sexual abuse through garnering a societal change" and through the creation of a mindset of community responsibility to protect children.
According to a pamphlet provided by the HOPE Center, sexual abuse can be physical, verbal or emotional. Instances can include fondling, exposing children to adult sexual activity, spying on a child in a bathroom or bedroom or attempted rape. Sexual abuse often includes underhanded techniques, including tricking, forcing, bribing, threatening or pressuring a child.
The Darkness to Light program equips adults working youth-focused areas with steps needed to prevent, recognize and react to instances of child sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse prevention tips provided to parents from the organization include, but are not limited to often speaking with children about such dangers from a young age; being positive; listening; trusting and believing them; and telling them often how much they are loved.
Kiwanian Annette Smith introduced Criminal Court Judge Andrew Freiberg as the newest member of the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland. Smith stepped in for Freiberg's sponsor, Bob Donaghy, who was unable to make Thursday's meeting.
"It is really just an honor to be a part of this group," Freiberg said. "I look forward to seeing you in the future."
Club president Bruce Bradford welcomed Freiberg to the club and read the six Kiwanis objectives.
- To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than the material, values of life.
- To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
- To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards.
- To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.
- To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
- To cooperate in creating and maintaining the sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism and goodwill.
Any individual who needs to report suspected child abuse can do so at Tennessee's abuse hotline, 1-877-542-2873, or call 911.
The Kiwanis Club meets every Thursday at noon, in Mountain View Inn's large meeting room.

Finding the Ocean – A Guide for Spiritual Direction (by Sr. Marybeth Martin)
by Sr. Marybeth Martin, PHJC | November 24, 2011
You may have heard the story about a little fish who swims up to the older and wiser fish and asks, "Where is the ocean?" The wise old fish says, "You are swimming in the ocean right now; it is part of you." the little fish responded, "No this is only the water. I want the ocean." She shakes her head in frustration and swims away, saying, "Maybe someday I will find the ocean."
Often I swim through life trying to find God. As a college student discerning about being a Sister, I asked a spiritual director, "How do I know if I am doing God's will? How do I find it?" He responded, "You're in it …it's part of you…it's all around you." I felt like the little fish trying to find the water. Could God's will be that easy to find? Spiritual direction helps me notice I am swimming in the ocean of God's love; it surrounds and fills my life.
We all need help reflecting on life, noticing where and how God touches our experiences. We can easily miss it as life zooms past. Spiritual Direction helps you pause and pay attention to your own story, seeing God's direction within it. Often that comes in taking today's next right step. What are you called to do today? How can you receive God's love today in your daily life and then share it in ordinary ways?
In the process of meeting regularly with a spiritual director, you discover God's will in the invitations to new life and growth in love. You also can find the gifts hidden even in pain and struggle.
Perhaps, you have been encouraged to find a spiritual director and think it is a new idea. Actually, it has been around for a long time! In the Scriptures and throughout Church history, we have many examples of people seeking God's direction. Many saints sought out spiritual guides. Yet, spiritual direction is not only for saints! Nor is it only for religious women and men or for those discerning religious life or priesthood.
Spiritual direction can be for you if you want help to make wise decisions or find God's presence hidden in ordinary moments. Meeting with a spiritual director regularly (often monthly) can help you make sense of life and hear God's nudges to life, growth, love.
Spiritual direction is not therapy, even though you may talk about some of the same situations in both. In spiritual direction, though, you and your director look together for God's action in those situations.
I am grateful for opportunities of spiritual direction for myself. And now, as a spiritual director, I have the chance to walk with people like you. All over the world, there are trained spiritual directors who are ready to listen with you for God's subtle movements in your life.
It is important to find a spiritual director with whom you can speak honestly about your life. To find a director, contact a retreat center, parish, campus ministry or diocesan young adult ministry office. They usually have lists of spiritual directors in the area. You can also contact a young adult minister, Sister, Brother, deacon or priest you know. They may also have resources for spiritual direction. Whenever I move to a new area, I pray for guidance to find a new director and courage to make the call! Many spiritual directors will meet with a new person a few times and then evaluate if it is a good fit.
Spiritual Directors International offers further resources about spiritual direction and finding the right spiritual director. Check out their web site: sdiworld.org. You can also download this brochure from St. Xavier University, Chicago:
If you have any questions, you can contact the Catholics on Call office or e-mail Sister Marybeth Martin at email@example.com.
Discover how you swim in the ocean of God's love. You deserve to try this experience!
Sr. Marybeth Martin, PHJC
Sr. Marybeth is a member of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ from Donaldson, Indiana. After doing campus and young adult ministry, then vocation ministry for her community, she is now doing full-time ministry in spiritual direction and leading retreats.

From the Pennsylvania Game Commission
-- 2009 marks the 41st anniversary of the Keystone State's spring gobbler hunting season, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission says turkey hunters should expect to find exciting opportunities afield as they head out for both the youth and traditional spring season openers.
The state's one-day youth spring gobbler season is April 18; the general spring gobbler season is April 25 to May 25. Hunters who have purchased a second spring gobbler season license may harvest up to two bearded turkeys.
"For the springs of four decades, wild turkey hunters have had a chance to match wits with gobblers in the fields and forests of Pennsylvania, and to say they have taken a shine to this special season would be an understatement," explained Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director.
"Although the season was somewhat controversial when proposed, and we started it conservatively to ensure the resource could handle it, today it is one of our most popular seasons and annually provides recreation for hundreds of thousands of people."
The first spring gobbler season ran only six days so biologists could get a pulse on hunter success and the season's impact on the more than 60,000 wild turkeys inhabiting about half of Pennsylvania's forestland. It worked. More hunters were afield on the last day of the season – a Saturday – than the opener. Hunters took a total of 1,636 turkeys.
In 2008, hunters took 40,522 bearded wild turkeys in the spring gobbler seasons (including 1,954 with second spring gobbler licenses) from an estimated statewide spring population of about 335,000. The spring wild turkey population peaked in 2001, when it numbered 410,000. The status of wild turkeys has changed dramatically over the past 40 years.
"Pennsylvania began to establish its presence in America's wild turkey management history back in the 1960s through the efforts of two biologists who made their peers look at what was going on here," said Mary Jo Casalena, Game Commission wild turkey biologist. "Gerald Wunz and Arnie Hayden refined turkey trap-and-transfer techniques and multi-season frameworks to help turkeys reclaim their former range throughout the state.
"With each passing year, turkey population grew and compelled the agency, in 1980, to close its turkey farm. It had produced more than 200,000 birds over its half century of operation." Today, Pennsylvania manages one of the most prolific wild turkey populations in America.
"The preliminary 2008 spring gobbler harvest was the sixth highest on record," Casalena said. "It is nine percent above the previous three-year average, and just three percent below the previous 10-year average, which included a period when Pennsylvania logged five consecutive harvests of more than 40,000 gobblers."
The Game Commission encourages all spring turkey hunters to hunt safely and defensively. Consider wearing fluorescent orange clothing at all times—even though it is no longer required by law—and treat every sound and movement in the forest as if it is another hunter until you can positively confirm it is a legal turkey.
Legal sporting arms are shotguns plugged to three-shell capacity in the chamber and magazine combined; muzzle loading shotguns; and crossbows and bows with broadhead bolts or arrows of cutting-edge design.
Shot size can be no larger than No. 4 lead, bismuth-tin and tungsten-iron, or No. 2 steel. Rifle-shotgun combinations also may be used, but no single-projectile ammunition may be used or carried.
Carrying or using rifles, handguns, dogs, electronic callers, drives and live decoys is unlawful.
The use of blinds is legal so long as it is an "artificial or manufactured turkey blind consisting of all manmade materials of sufficient density to block the detection of movement within the blind from an observer located outside the blind." Officials recommend hunters wrap an orange alert band around a nearby tree when stationary, especially when calling and/or using decoys.
Coyotes may be harvested by turkey hunters. However, turkey hunters who have filled their spring turkey tag or tags may not hunt coyotes prior to noon Monday through Saturday during the spring gobbler season, unless they have a fur-taker license. Woodchuck hunting is not allowed during spring gobbler season shooting hours.
Hunters must properly tag their turkey and report the harvest to the Game Commission within 10 days, using the postage-paid report card provided with their hunting license. Hunters who can't find one of the harvest report cards that came with their license, or those who purchased their 2008-09 licenses through the Pennsylvania Automated License System, can tear out and use the harvest report card found on page 33 of the 2008-2009 Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations, or make their own harvest report card and mail it to the Game Commission.
Hunters also are encouraged to report all leg-banded turkeys they take to assist the Game Commission in ongoing research. In the final year of a four-year turkey leg banding program, hunters can earn a $100 reward for reporting their harvest of a banded wild turkey. Reports must be received by July 31, to be eligible for a reward. Hunters may keep the band; the agency just needs the information on the band.
Junior hunters who participate in the youth spring gobbler day (April 18) are required to have a junior hunting license. On this one-day hunt, junior license holders under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult, who cannot carry a sporting arm. Accompanying adults may only provide guidance, such as calling or scouting. All other hunting regulations are the same as those for the general spring gobbler season, including the hunting hours of one-half hour before sunrise until noon and only bearded turkeys may be taken.
Youngsters under the age of 12 years may participate in the spring gobbler seasons through the Game Commission's Mentored Youth Hunting Program. They can hunt with a mentor during either the one-day youth or general spring gobbler season. Mentored youths do not need a hunting license or permit, but must be accompanied by a mentor who is a properly licensed adult at least 21 years of age. Mentored youths also are required to report their harvest to the Game Commission by mailing a homemade report card.
For additional information about the Game Commission's Mentored Youth Hunting Program, visit the agency's website at www.pgc.state.pa.us and click on "Mentored Youth FAQs" in the right column, or consult pages 15 and 33 of the 2008-2009 Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations.

Coming Soon to Heroes: An Underwater Kiss!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
As Heroes viewers witnessed last week, Claire has a friend: a comic book store employee named Alex (Justin Baldoni).
Alex was wanted by HRG because of his ability to breathe underwater. Fortunately, he escaped with Claire - and will soon use this power to exciting use!
According to E! Online, Alex and Claire will share a steamy underwater kiss in the March 2 episode, "Exposed." Check it out below.
"I can breathe underwater," Baldoni said. "It's every guy's fantasy to have a superpower, and I'm so happy I got this part."
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Heroes, Spoilers
Underwater kiss... holy obvious thing to do. Just don't do it... Gawd. I'm hanging onto Heroes because I don't want the show to go away. I liked the first season and it's much better again in 2009. e.g. Peter is wiser/smarter now (which doesn't have to mean overly talkative) and paying attention to his hard-learned life lessons. He's still got his heart but he's also staying alive so that he can help his friends (latest episode. season 3 ep 17). I really like that.
Writers... please stop thinking you're so clever that you can use the first cliche thing that comes to mind and people are going to love it. You could even have them almost kiss underwater but not do it. Then just have them kiss as they're running away from the SWAT. Something awkward and rushed but it's still romantic. I know my idea sucks too - I could never write as well as any amateur or professional but please don't do this forced and dreamy and terribly contrived piece like an underwater kiss... music swells... at least not for their first kiss. Please, I beg of you.
yeah they kinda did, but i dont care, i still love this volume and alex, and.. HEROES!!!!! seriously i'm about to write a post about this!
www.thevaultofheroes.blogspot.... if you want to read it, GO HEROES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please Heroes producers KEEP ALEX WOOLSEY IN THE SHOW! Seriously, the show is meant to be about ordinary people with incredible powers, it's not all about Claire, HRG, Sylar and Peter. If anything don't kill Justin's character off if you need to drop him. I love how his story is similar to Claire's, ordinary teenagers with the idea of being considered freaks with practically everyone gone. Heroes kinda screwed up several love arcs, please dont axe this one too!

Issue when receiving email (all emails go into /var/vmail/Maildir file)
Hi all,
I experienced a problem with my ISPC3 server (220.127.116.11) which I use for emails.
I create a domain and a user mailbox for that domain.
The problem is that when I try to send an email to that new email box, all emails go to a file called /var/vmail/Maildir and not into /var/vmail/domain.com/user/...
When I look in mysql at the maildir column for that mailbox, I have the correct path (/var/vmail/domain/user)
ls -l /var/vmail
total 12

What should I check ? Do you have any clue ?

Intertrigo is inflammation of the skin. It tends to occur in warm, moist areas of the body where two skin surfaces rub or press against each other. Such areas are called "skin folds."
Intertrigo affects the top layers of skin. It is caused by moisture, bacteria, yeast, or fungus in the folds of the skin. The affected areas of skin are usually pink to brown. If the skin is very moist, it may begin to break down. In severe cases, there may be a bad odor.
The condition is most common in persons who are obese. It may also be seen in people who must stay in bed or who wear medical devices such as artificial limbs, splints, and braces. These devices may trap moisture against the skin.
Intertrigo is common in warm, moist climates.
It may help to lose weight and move your body position often.
Other things you can do are:
Call your health care provider if:
Your health care provider can tell if you have the condition by looking at your skin.

Team Sky have announced their nine-man team for the 98th edition of the Tour de France, starting on 2 July at the Passage du Gois.
"Competing in the Tour de France is what every young rider dreams of and I'm really excited about the challenge ahead."
Ben Swift
Bradley Wiggins, who came fourth in 2009 to equal the best ever Tour de France finish by a British rider, and recently won the prestigious Critérium du Dauphiné, will lead the squad which includes fellow Brits Geraint Thomas, who will be riding his third Tour de France, and Ben Swift who will be making his debut in the event.
Talented young Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen will make his second Tour de France appearance after last year's debut where he secured two podium finishes. Joining him will be Colombia's Rigoberto Urán, both having proved key strengths in the mountains at the Critérium du Dauphiné.
The line up features experienced Grand Tour riders including Spanish duo Juan Antonio Flecha, who will be making his ninth Tour de France appearance, and Xabier Zandio, who has previously ridden in the event five times. They will be joined by Germany's reigning Road Race Champion Christian Knees, who will be riding in his ninth Grand Tour, and Simon Gerrans, previous stage winner in all three Grand Tours.
Team Sky have also revealed that all kit, bikes, equipment and vehicles will change from blue to green for all 21 stages of the race to help raise awareness and support for Sky Rainforest Rescue, a three year partnership between Sky and WWF to help save a billion trees in the state of Acre, northwest Brazil.
All of the riders, with the exception of Swift who has sprinted to five stage wins already this season, helped Wiggins to his impressive victory in the Dauphiné earlier this month and Team Principal Dave Brailsford explained: "This is a strong and balanced team with a real depth of talent to cater for all the race's challenges, from the team time trial to its high mountain finishes.
"The squad have raced and trained together consistently well and are full of confidence after excellent results at Bayern Rundfhart and the Critérium du Dauphiné.
"There is a great blend of experience and youth in our squad. As well as riders like Bradley, Flecha, Simon, Christian and Xabier who have ridden the Grand Tours on numerous occasions, the line up also includes some of the peloton's brightest young talents in Edvald, Geraint, Rigoberto and Ben. We have a really exciting team that can't wait for 2 July."
Brailsford is particularly looking forward to Swift's first appearance in cycling's blue riband event, adding: "I am delighted that Ben Swift will be making his Tour debut, he is enjoying a breakthrough season with five wins already and he will absolutely thrive on this opportunity to test himself on the biggest stage of all."
Relishing the challenge
The action gets under way in little over a week and the riders themselves head to the race full of confidence following those recent successes, with Dauphiné hero Wiggins confirming: "The team is in great shape, full of confidence and riding well.
"We all want to put on a good show for our fans as their support for the team throughout this season has been incredible. It's going to be a great three weeks of racing."
That was echoed by Swift who told us: "Competing in the Tour de France is what every young rider dreams of and I'm really excited about the challenge ahead. The team is riding well and we can't wait to get going against the world's best riders."

Professional Responsibility for Non-Lawyers
Opinion 91-34
(December 1991)
You have asked the Committee whether you would violate the Rules of Professional Conduct if you advertised in a publication that you would prepare a Living Will free of charge for a client, provided that the client had made a charitable contribution to a designated charity within the preceding three months.
The Committee is of the opinion that this advertisement and arrangement does not violate the Rules. The proposed advertisement clearly does not run afoul of Rules 7.1 and 7.2, relating to Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Services and Advertising, respectively.
The proposed arrangement of providing free legal services on the condition that the client makes a specified charitable contribution is also permissible. The Committee considered whether the proposal violates Rule 5.4, Professional Independence of a Lawyer, which, subject to several exceptions, prohibits the sharing of a legal fee with a nonlawyer. Under the proposal, however, a fee is not shared between a lawyer and nonlawyer, but instead, the lawyer is in essence contributing his fee to a specified charity. Rule 5.4(a) is directed to prohibiting a different type of fee splitting, such as the sharing of fees within a law firm between attorneys and non-attorneys or the sharing of fees by a lawyer or law firm with a business enterprise. The proposal also does not offend the principle sought to be protected by Rule 5.4, namely the
protection of the lawyer's professional independence of judgment
comment. On the assumed facts, the proposal does not encroach on Inquirer's independence.
The Philadelphia Bar Association's Professional Guidance Committee provides, upon request, advice for lawyers facing or anticipating facing ethical dilemmas. Advice is based on the consideration of the facts of the particular inquirer's situation and the Rules of Professional Conduct as promulgated by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The Committee's opinions are advisory only and are based upon the facts set forth. The opinions are not binding upon the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania or any other Court. They carry only such weight as an appropriate reviewing authority may choose to give it.

Browsing the most popular MILF cam sites around can tell you a lot about what is available and what to expect before you ever commit to a single site or cam girl. Check out these live sex cam sites and read these milf cam reviews to know more. We have milf webcam sites reviewed and ranked, so that it becomes easier for to get some perspective. One of the most important things you can learn here, however, is the simple fact that you do not have to commit to either of those things to still enjoy cam sites as a whole. While there are definitely some perks to becoming someone's regular, there are just as many to keeping unattached and going wherever you feel like when the mood strikes you.
What it mostly comes down to is taste. A lot of guys like cams sites because it gives them a lot more interaction with the performers themselves. They, therefore, tend to get more out of sticking with one than browsing around through the thousands available at the push of a search button. For the rest of us, however, the draw is not so much the interaction, but the level of influence we can have over these performances. It is much less about the woman performing for the camera, and more about what she is doing and whether or not we had any input on that. Sometimes, even, it just comes down to the fact that we know we are watching someone perform live, which can have a thrill all its own. How do you know when you want to stick to one or surf for more? Well, consider the pros and cons of each situation and maybe even try sticking to one girl for a while and see how long you last. If it's something you end up liking, you won't think about leaving. If you find yourself wondering over the other women out there, however, read on.
A Ton More Variety than You Could Ever Get Otherwise
When it comes right down to it, the biggest advantage to not tying your leisure time down to one person is the level of variety you can otherwise maintain. A single woman, no matter how talented or attractive, just is s not going to have the same amount of variety that many women can give you. If you have a wide range of kinks, or just want to explore what is out there, dropping in on a different stream each time is definitely up your alley. In fact, live sex cams are some of the best ways to explore different fetishes out there! Yes, you can always go out and download a video that shows the same kink, and yes, you can certainly pick up erotic comics that do the same thing. However, the entire experience is quite a bit detached in comparison to the introduction you can get through, say, and experienced MILF on a popular cam site.
It is not always about knowing what you want, after all. Many of us have no idea what we are looking for at any given time. It is just a vague notion of "that looks good" to make us click and stare for a bit. However, "that looks good" can quickly change for better or worse, and not feeling like you have already invested too much to leave when you are no longer enjoying yourself is definitely one of the positives to frequently skipping around. Too many guys that like to stick with one performer end up staying around long after she has really lost her appeal for them just because of all the money they have already spent on her. Whether this comes in the form of tipping for a specific routine, or ponying up for a private session, the fact of the matter is things can get expensive given enough time or incentive. The thing you really have to keep in mind here, however, is that this isn't someone you are going to date or have some sort of relationship with. The amount of time, energy, and money you might have invested in your time together does not mean all that much in the grand scheme of things. In more economic terms: learn to recognize and come to terms with sunk costs. It is difficult. We don't ever like to lose money on something, after all. In the end, however, you are going to be a lot better off if you learn to look at the money you spend on the different models in the same way you would handle your food budget: something you use to acquire temporary satisfaction.
More Anonymity in the Stream
Of course, outside of just what you gain from not locking yourself down due to money, is also what you can gain in terms of being able to fly under the radar. For anyone who is terribly concerned over their online habits being traceable or going public in some way, hopping around from one chat to another is the perfect way to make sure there is no pattern for someone to follow. Always trying somewhere new instead of sticking to the same performer for every itch that needs scratching can also make it a lot easier to explain away any history you forget to erase or saved searches that pop up by accident, as it all seems a lot more sporadic and unintentional.
More to the point, however, is the simple fact that no one in the chat will have any reason to recognize you even by user name. Being recognizable is something you want the cam girl, at least, to latch on to if you want to stick around and spend your money on one or two women alone. On the other hand, if you want to maintain a true sense on anonymity, going to different sites and logging in with different aliases while you are there is definitely a good start. Most of the other men in chat remember guys by the names that show up there, and if they don't recognize your name, tend to just ignore you until they have reason to. Of course, this is slightly different for the cam girls themselves, as most sites at least give her access to be able to view any account you might have with the site. At the very least this can tell her how much you have spent on this site. This is especially useful to you if you want to stay within the same site, but watch a bunch of different streams. The girls know you will pay, but don't recognize you and no one in the stream thinks of you any differently than anyone else and therefore probably won't remember you at all.
Less Inclined to Tip as Much or as Often
One of the last reasons you can really benefit from jumping around between all the popular cam sites out there, picking and choosing the best MILF models as you go, is actually kind of abstract and has to deal with that idea of investing in a single woman we mentioned before. In fact, it's the exact opposite. While spending all of your money in one place makes you spend more money, spreading it out among a host of different options makes you spend less. You want to get more for what you spend in the moment, and come out ahead because of it.
