Dear new and returning Thunderbirds parents,
The start of a brand new season is upon us, and we are very excited about this upcoming year. We wish to welcome all new and returning T-birds. We are looking forward to a rewarding and fun season.
We take a great deal of responsibility in providing a safe and productive environment for our athletes and look forward to working with each of you, as partners in this endeavor. One of the most valuable characteristics of a strong, motivated team is the parents' support within the organization. We therefore encourage each of you to take an active part in our Thunderbirds Swim Team Parents Committee (see details below). This group assists the coaches with many behind the scene details in order to help the coaches focus on coaching. We look forward to working with you this season.
As always, if you should have any questions please feel free to contact Head Coach Alyse Marion at 646.505.5712 or email@example.com.
Thank you,
Alyse Marion Edwin Nunez Viviana Merced
The JCC Manhattan Thunderbird Swim Team strives to build a vibrant, passionate swimming community. Through practice and competition, our swimmers develop an appreciation for the rewards of hard work, respect for others, personal responsibility, as well as team and community spirit.
All swim team members must:
It is our policy that every member of the Thunderbirds swim team participates in dual and tri-meets. Each swimmer is expected to attend all swim meets and stay for the duration of the meet. This contributes to positive team spirit and develops sportsmanship. We can only win if all swimmers are in attendance.
Swimmers should be prepared with team suit, team cap, goggles, team t-shirt, multiple towels, sweatpants and sweatshirt if desired, and appropriate snacks and drinks (Please see the Food Guide for specifics). Extra caps and goggles are recommended.
It is absolutely essential that parents let us know well in advance (at least one week) if there is a conflict emergency and their son or daughter cannot make a swim meet. Please leave a message for Coach Alyse at 646.505.5712 if you know your son or daughter will not be attending a swim meet.
The main purpose of practice is to improve the swimmer's technique and increase his/her speed and endurance. Each practice will target our team goals as determined by the coaches.
There is a direct relationship between the amount of practice and the level of improvement. Good, hard practices will show great improvement on the swimmers' times and endurance levels.
Practice is the key for a swimmer to become better. Just "showing up" to practice doesn't cut it either! PRACTICE DOESN'T MAKE PERFECT, PERFECT PRACTICE DOES!
Our team is divided into Bronze, Silver and Gold swimmers. Our Gold swimmers are ages 13 and Over. Our Silver and Bronze swimmers are 12 and under and are assigned a color based on their times, technical abilities and demeanor both in and out of the pool. We are also pleased to offer an Elite portion of our program to swimmers age 13 and over who qualify.
Each team member is required to practice three times a week; Sunday and two weekdays. The only valid excuses for missing practice are a family emergency or sickness.
Practice Schedule:
* Swimmers 8 & under are required to swim one hour only
The Swim Team Parents Committee is responsible for working with the coaches to ensure a successful and fun season. The Committee will help with:
The most valuable source of inspiration and motivation for the swimmer is his/her parents. More than anyone else, swimmers seek their parents' admiration. A highly motivated swimmer reflects his parents' enthusiasm. Keep in mind that pushing a child so hard that the child can never meet the parent's expectation will result in frustration for both.
All parents are expected to participate in meets. The team is dependent on this group for hospitality, organization of meets, communication and transportation.
Daniel Brand wrote an exceptional article on the role of swim team parents, which included the following guidelines:
Parents can further help the team in the following ways:
The swim team has three types of awards to acknowledge the achievements of its swimmers: ribbons, trophies and medals.
Ribbons are awarded for placing first through third during dual meet competition in a five lane pool and first through fourth in a six lane pool. Medals are awarded for first through third place in our Metro League Championship meet, and ribbons are awarded for fourth through sixth place. Awards are also given at the swim team banquet at the end of the season!
Proper eating and sleeping habits are necessary for a swimmer to keep in shape and swim well. Excess fats should be avoided. Swimmers should be eating fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates. Naturally, too many desserts and sweets will add weight that the swimmer will have to pull along. A good night's sleep is essential to perform up to potential. Please see the food guide for specific food recommendations.
We are looking forward to a very rewarding, successful and fun swimming season. Thank you for becoming an active parent and reading this manual.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The DID Model
The DID model is based on four key areas: START, GROW, FOCUS and INVEST. Entrepreneurs START with an idea, then GROW that idea into a company. With FOCUS, the idea becomes a business ready for funding and partnerships, and the success of the business allows us to then INVEST in other communities or START again with a new idea.
A workshop series focused on teaching urban entrepreneurs how to THINK BIG and turn their ideas into a product. Learn more about START »
A network of small groups and meet-ups that allow entrepreneurs to network and support each other through the development of their companies.
A program that mentors, develops and advises tech companies with black women as cofounders. Twenty percent of our FOCUS Fellows have received funding from angel and/or venture investors. A major part of this program is the annual #FOCUS100 Start-up Boot Camp and Symposium.Learn more about FOCUS »
A project focused on developing and supporting investments in tech companies from the urban community. See a list of companies that DID formally advises.

Street Fighter + TRON = Nerdgasm
I know, TRON stuff is so late 2010. But when I saw these awesome Street Fighter x TRON illustrations by Melbourne, Australia graphic artist BossLogic, I had still had to put them up.
I think the glowing Chun-Li is my personal favorite, but Evil Ryu is pretty great in light-up purple. But you be the judge. Check out the gallery below, and let us know which one you think is the best:
And when you're done, head on over to BossLogic's DeviantArt Page to check out more of his hyper-cool artworks.

I don't know what to do with myself. Awesomenestic!
You should probably know this guy didn't draw any of these images. He used game concept art and art from other artists and simply manipulated them to look like Tron without giving any credit.
It's a blatant example of copyright infringement, nevermind the fact that it's just a douch-y thing to do. He doesn't deserve the credit for these images, since 90% of it is not his creation.

IE University students among the top 4 of the Hult Prize, Dubai
Written on April 3, 2014 by Dirk Hopfl in IE University
Four bachelor students of IE University were the only undergraduate students competing against experts with MBAs, PhDs and Master's degrees.
An IE University Team comprising students Stefan Wolf Staertzel, Victor Berthon, Pablo Otero and Carlos Beltrán, won a spot among the top 4 in the regional finals of the prestigious Hult Prize, the planet's largest student competition in the field of social entrepreneurship, with a million dollar prize. IE students were the only graduates competing against more experienced candidates with PhDs, MBAs and a range of master's degrees. They were also the only students under 22 in a final round in which the average age was 30 years old.
The Hult Prize, which received a record number of more than 10,000 first-round applicants, was created by Hult and Clinton Global Initiative to boost the development of social start-ups in the healthcare industry. This year entrants were required to focus on "Non-communicable Disease in the Urban Slum", and more than 250 teams competed against each other in six regional finals in the cities of Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai and Sao Paulo.
The members of the IE University Team were from France, Germany, Venezuela and Spain, and aged 20 and under. The four students met in the Bachelor in Business Administration program at the Madrid-based university and presented their project for the Dubai Final.
They won the first two rounds with "Cuidado Verde", a project aimed at helping the 92% of slum-dwellers in Peru who do not receive a timely diagnosis for chronic diseases. In order to do this the team came up with a simple but innovative idea: a business that recycles the uncollected trash generated by the area to fund a free full annual check-up for its inhabitants.
"I think the Hult Prize was one of my greatest achievements so far in my life!" says Victor Berthon, team captain. "Being the youngest and the only team comprised of undergraduate students it was already a huge achievement to get to the finals, but ending up in the top 4 exceeded our expectations and showed that no matter how small we are, we can create an impact."

Social Entrepreneurs are welcome!
Written on March 21, 2014 by Dirk Hopfl in IE University
Another exciting week with tons of action and fun is scheduled this summer in Segovia (Spain). The IE University Summer School opens its doors to wish-to-be-social entrepreneurial High School students under the theme: Striving for change through social entrepreneurship.
The program provides students with new ideas and skills in order to help them think about our society's most pressing issues in different and innovative ways. Using the design thinking methodology, students will tackle an existing social issue by focusing on transforming ideas into real opportunities.
Social Entrepreneurs use the design thinking methodology to help them think out of the box about social and global issues. Using this methodology, you will develop within a Global Action Team a grass-root social entrepreneurship project, centered on different topics, such as culture, ecology, sports, social justice and other. Interact with other students and social entrepreneurs who share your concern about our society's most pressing problems and put an innovative battle plan into action.
The summer school will be hosted in IE Universities' beautiful historic campus in Segovia, Spain. Housed in a 15th century convent, this perfect setting will inspire you in your quest for new ideas to achieve social change. You'll also be able to explore the surrounding areas, and enjoy and absorb all the history and culture that Spain has to offer.

IE University opens new urban campus in Madrid
Written on March 19, 2014 by Dirk Hopfl in IE University
IE University is to open a new campus building in the center of Madrid this coming September. The new building, which has a surface area of some 7,000m2 and is located at Calle Velázquez 130, forms part of IE University's plans to strengthen its presence in Madrid and expand its bachelor degree program portfolio.
IE University began work on the new building 3 months ago. This latest addition to the IE Campus is located less than 200m from the main IE Business School campus in Calle María de Molina, and is adjoined to the building which houses the School's MBA programs and Area 31, a space for entrepreneurship and innovation designed to bring added impetus to entrepreneurial initiatives.
In addition to the full range of bachelor programs run at IE University's main campus in Segovia, the new Madrid-based campus building will house the University's Bachelor in Business Administration, Bachelor of Laws, and its Dual Degree in Business Administration and Law, which have been taught in Madrid since the beginning of the present academic year. These programs will be joined in the upcoming academic year by a new intake of the Bachelor Degree in International Relations and the Dual degree in Business Administration and International Relations, which round off the programs taught on the Madrid Campus.
"The new building forms part of IE University's commitment to further consolidate its academic offering in Madrid and provide its students with top quality programs that enable them to develop their full potential using a dynamic and flexible learning methodology centered around new technologies," says SalvadorCarmona, Rector of IE University.
The new building strengthens one of the differentiating factors of IE's Madrid campus, namely its entirely urban location, with buildings that are all within a 250 meter radius of its main campus building in the center of Madrid.
This latest addition to the campus is 8 stories high with its main façade facing South. It comprises a total of 23 classrooms equipped with latest generation technology and with a capacity for 1,150 students. The rest of the building is made up of open multi-use areas where students can work in teams, and areas used for departmental and administrative work. The building breaks with standard design, being based on tailored solutions that give it personality while ensuring that it is also highly functional.
The building will be accessed through Calle Maria de Molina 31bis, through a large open area designed as a communal area which may on occasions be used as an open air classroom or for university events.
Week Zero – it starts all here!

Undergraduate student mobility on the rise
Written on September 7, 2013 by Dirk Hopfl in IE University
240 university counselors in 33 countries took part in an IE University survey designed to pinpoint the interests and preferences of the upcoming generation of university students with regard to study abroad and most popular degree programs.
International mobility has risen fast among young university students worldwide in recent years. This is one of the main findings of a study carried out last month by IE University, in which 240 counselors at international schools in 33 countries around the world took part. The aim of the report was to reveal the interests and preferences of the upcoming generation of university students in aspects like study abroad and preferred degree programs. The survey was linked to the IE University Junior Advisory Board Meeting held this past week at IE's Madrid and Segovia Campuses, in which 15 students from 13 countries, aged from 16 to 18, met to talk to IE University about how they see their future in higher education.
With regard to study abroad, 70% of participating counselors have seen an increase in international mobility among students in recent years. There are variations in this trend depending on the world region. In India, for example, some 73% of counselors believe that more than 50% of their students will go abroad to study, while in the US, 71% of counselors thought that less than 20% of their students would leave the US to study. Overall, 47% percent of counselors stated that over half of their students were now considering studying their university degree abroad, which reflects the level of globalization in the labor market, the mutual recognition of titles among countries in the European Higher Education Space, and the international redistribution of employment as a result of growing and emerging economies. "Now, more than ever before, we are seeing an interesting flow of talent among host countries," says Antonio de Castro. Dean of Undergraduate Studies at IE University and coordinator of the survey. "Just like in the business world, students are considering the best options to link their university studies to their career expectations." Read more…

It's no myth: Greek food is hot, hot, hot.
Perhaps the Greek shall inherit the Earth--or at least its culinary spotlight. A surprising number of folks are opting for Greek cuisine on nights when a burger and fries just won't do.
"Years ago, people were afraid to go to a Greek restaurant--they didn't know what it was like," says Tim Vlahopoulos, general manager of the New York City Greek restaurant Periyali. "Now, [Greek restaurants] have proven they're up to the scale of French or Italian restaurants."
Will small-town USA embrace the food with the same gusto as big cities like New York? Vlahopoulos is confident of the food's appeal. "Eventually," he says, "it will spread all over."

I am starting to wonder what I'm doing wrong, because I am having no luck with cuttings of plants that should be "easy" to get started. Last summer my mom gave me several cuttings of two kinds of grape ivy--all the stems of one variety died. About two weeks ago I potted four rooted cuttings of variegated wandering Jew, and they are all dead today-- crispy and brown despite the fact that the soil mix is still damp :(
Am I keeping them too wet? Not wet enough? I am so sad about the wandering Jew, they were so pretty and fresh looking with nice root development when they arrived. |

Hi, Sorry you're having trouble w/ this, but you don't offer any of the info. we need to assess this. You haven't said how you're growing these, or where or how you are watering, or how much & what kind of light you are giving it. Without any of that info. we can't begin to guess if it's under or overwatering, wrong mix, too much sun or something else. If you could pls. answer the above questions & we could then TRY to help you. |
Ditto Pirate Girl. We don't know what you're doing wrong until we know what you're doing PERIOD! Keep your chin up, once the light bulb goes on you'll be able to root almost anything! There's lots of ways to be successful at this. |
Sorry for leaving out the details. I planted the cuttings in newly purchased potting mix (I'm not home now so I can't look at the bag to name it) and the pots sit in my living room on the lower shelf of a table in front of an eastern window. They get a lot of light but no direct sunlight as the lower shelf sits well below the window level. Other plants that are doing well in just about the same spot are a hoya, a Florida beauty, a dracaena marginata, and the sprigs of grape ivy that did not die. In trying to get the wandering Jew cuttings established, I kept the soil moist at all times, not allowing it to dry out between waterings. I use tap water, usually that has sat out overnight or longer. The pot is a ceramic McCoy pot with drainage and attached saucer. Does this help? |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Aug 30, 11 at 17:06
I would suspect too much fertilizer in the potting soil, in conjunction with possible overwatering. You said the plants "arrived." Were the cuttings mailed? Were the roots from water or soil (if you could tell?) It sure has been hot... |
Hey, leafy...I think that I've misunderstood your posting. Are you trying to keep ROOTED cuttings alive or are you trying to root some cuttings. ;-) |
Hmmm, I'll try to answer as best I can. Purpleinopp, my wandering jew cuttings did arrive in the mail. They had no soil on them when I got them, had been packed in wet paper towels and looked perfectly healthy when they arrived. The roots area was about the size of a penny on each one and the cuttings were about six inches long. My grape ivy cuttings I took myself from my mom's plant, wrapped in wet paper towels to get them home, sat them in water until I saw roots starting to grow, then planted. That was back in early spring and not the same potting mix as my recently departed wandering Jew. tapla, so it sounds like you're saying the problem might have been too much leaf surface for the root development to support,fungus, or too wet soil? |
It's difficult for anyone to pinpoint an exact cause of failure from an armchair ..... much easier to outline the areas that need attention if you're to expect consistent success. Soggy soils and too much transpiration for the plant to keep up with water loss, as well as exposure to fungal infection are all common causes. Also, cuttings taken from weak parent material have the deck stacked against them from the outset. For most plants, 'ideal' would be a highly aerated, sterile medium (like screened perlite or screened Turface) that is damp, but not wet. Root zone temperatures in the 60-75* range with air temps being about 10* cooler than root temps. Bright light but not direct sun, and high humidity (90%+) surrounding the cutting. If you want me to, I'll take some photos to show you how I would prepare a herbaceous and a woody cutting for propagation .....? Al |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Thu, Sep 1, 11 at 11:33
I agree with the surface-area theory and mostly strip something like coleus but, assuming that by "wandering jew" you mean one of the Tradescantias, that wouldn't ordinarily be a factor. I do think it would have been wilted if it was damaged by heat in transit. So that doesn't sound like the culprit. Sometimes plants don't adapt well when they go from "water roots" to soil. But definitely not usually total failure of several known-to-be-easy-to-root cuttings. Some potting soils come with fertilizer in them that could overwhelm "water roots." |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Fri, Sep 2, 11 at 14:31
I'd place the Wandering Jew in water until they're fully rooted. Once roots are 4" or more, pot in soil. WJ roots fairly fast, though quicker in spring/summer. Grape Ivy roots in water too, but might take longer. Toni |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Socrates ADOPTED!!!
Facts about Socrates ADOPTED!!
- Breed: Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Havanese Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Socrates ADOPTED!!'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
I am as cute as a little button. So loving and sweet too. I would love to find a new family soon. I was being used to breed little puppies for pet stores but now it is my turn to find a family and to be the spoiled little dude that I have always wanted to be. Will you be the ones to give me my forever home?
Other Pets at Haven at the Inn
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Socrates ADOPTED!!, a Antioch Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Havanese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Havanese for sale in Antioch, or seeking a Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Havanese dog from a breeder in Antioch.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Antioch already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Antioch breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Havanese breeders who help with Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Havanese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Antioch paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bagged CC on Bents
The Volkswagen Passat CC is one of those cars that came out of VW that really does look more luxurious than any far-from-mugen brand. Ok maybe aside from the Phaeton. Their lines and the much larger body is surprisingly appealing with a touch of class. I usually would use these words to describe a Benz, BMW and or Bentleys.
But I'm all for contradiction haha. Here's a nice CC on a very baller Bentley wheels.
Check it.
When you're rollin' on shoes like this, you can't be all executive-like, must be gangsta. And thus the bagged suspension was installed.

BiotinAlso indexed as:B7 Vitamin, Vitamin B7 Interactions with Supplements, Foods, & Other CompoundsBiotin works with some other B vitamins, such as folic acid, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), and vitamin B12. However, no solid evidence indicates that people supplementing with biotin also need to take these other vitamins. Symptoms of pantothenic acid or zinc deficiency have been reported to be lessened with biotin,25 though people with these deficiencies should supplement with the nutrients in which they are deficient. Researchers have speculated that biotin and alpha lipoic acid may compete with each other for absorption or uptake into cells; but little is known about the importance of these interactions in humans.26 There is one report of a 76-year-old woman who developed a life-threatening condition (eosinophilic pleuropericardial effusion) while taking 10 mg of biotin per day and 300 mg of pantothenic acid per day.27 However, it is not clear whether the vitamins caused the problem. Interactions with MedicinesCertain medicines interact with this supplement.

12:00 pm – 1:30 pmPlace
38 West 86th StreetOpen to BGC faculty, staff, and students only.

Hanna Hölling will be speaking at a Works in Progress Seminar on Thursday, October 24, 2013, from 12 to 1:30pm. Her talk is entitled "On the Aspects of Time, Continuity, Archive and Identity in the Conservation of Multimedia Works of Art."
As no other artworks, multimedia installations that have been created since the 1960s and that are comprised of a wide range of components test the ruling conventions in conservation, presentation, and museum practices. Through the cycles of their materializations, performed and performative qualities, on and off status, distributed authorship and with the involvement of display and playback apparatus, various formats of film and video, sculptural and painted elements, organic components and photography, they dispute the validity of what has for decades been understood under the notion of a static, unique, or singular 'conservation object.'
In her presentation analyzing a number of Nam June Paik's multimedia installations, Hölling will pose questions that consider what the 'object of conservation' is (or might become) in relation to its material constitution and the ways in which it functions within and beyond a certain historical moment. She will introduce different modes of thinking about time in conservation (with regard to active media and technological ruin) and conservation's paradigms of reversibility, and minimal intervention. Furthermore, she will discuss how the changeability of multimedia artworks and – equally important – their persistence through change divorce us from thinking about their evidential, material authenticity to be preserved and evoke a profounder engagement with the archive in which and through which the works are sustained and continued.

Sort of. I'm actually looking for an identification of this palm that I have seen at Sea World - Orlando several times but never remembered to get a picture of to get it identified. I finally remembered. The picture really doesn't do it justice as you don't really get a sense of scale here. But in person this thing is just huge when compared to most palms I encounter. It is easily 15-20 ft wide. |

I would say it was a bismark but that smooth lower trunk is throwing me off...still looks like a bismark to me but I am far from an expert |

Looking at pictures of other Bismarks, I think you are correct. I even see some that have been smooth trimmed like this one. I've seen people talk about Bismarks on this forum many, many times. I guess I just never got to see one this big. Or just didn't realize it. In the google images there's one that looks like it might make this one look a little on the small side. Thanks for the help! |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Dec 7, 12 at 22:40
It is a Bismarckia nobilis. They normally have a smooth trunk, they're self cleaning. Only very small plants retain the leaf bases. After they start trunking the old leaf bases soon start to fall off. Can't find photos of the tallest I've seen, this is about a medium sized one. |

I have 5 seeds in the prop that have been there a bit over a month and nothing. I would love to have a bismarck but once it got that big im not sure what I could do with it seeing my climate and all |
hi There is one directly in front of the home depot in Lake Park florida was planted when they opened the center in 1981 is around 30 feet tall . Doesn't even resemble a Bismark now lol. It is seeding for the first time and i couldn't help but steal a couple of seeds lol Only one I've ever seen with seeds lol I'll try to get a pic of it because it looks so unlike a bismark but i know it is as I saw it planted. One of my favorite palms !! gary |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sat, Dec 8, 12 at 9:05
This one's dropped a lot of its seed already. But it's been seeding for some years, the ground around the base was covered with seedlings as well as dead ones from being mown over. Obviously the gardeners don't want a thicket of them. |

I really love this palm..I wish these seeds I got would open up! |

Bismarkias are one of my favorite palms! They do great as potted palms outdoors, but hate being indoors in my experience. They are often sold here at local nursuries as "summer annuals", some are 20 feet tall. It's a shame that people buy them and let them die every winter around here. Some of the nicest bismarkias I have seen are in EPCOT in Disney World. Animal Kingdom has some nice ones too. They seem to be getting very popular in Central Florida landscapes over the past decade. -Alex |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sat, Dec 8, 12 at 19:57
They are very cheap here as a small potted plant, but those larger ones would cost a fortune. To use those as an annual seems irresponsible, both financially and horticulturally. |
Definitely a Bismarck palm. We have a really nice one at Lake Hollingsworth. They are reasonably fast growing here. When I first got here, the one at the lake was only my height. It's now well over 20 feet tall. The leaves are easily a yard across. The blue tint makes it very desirable. Wonderful palms if you have the space for them. |

well tropicalzone 7B next time you see a small one for sale give me the contact info and I will see if they will ship it this way. |

Ingredients GNOCCHI (Ingredients)
2 pounds Russet potatoes
Salt to taste
1-1/2 to 1-3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE SAUCE (Ingredients)
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions GNOCCHI (Instructions)
Scrub potatoes and place them unpeeled in a large pot of boiling water. Boil until tender all the way through, but not falling apart. While potatoes are still hot, don gloves and peel them, then pass them through a vegetable mill into a large bowl. Let them dry on a baking sheet for about 15 min. Add salt to taste, then gradually add the flour to the potatoes, working in the flour with a wooden spoon.
Knead the dough gently for about 5 min., or until soft an supple on a lightly floured board or wooden work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 3/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches long. Cut each rope into 3/4-inch long pieces, pinching the ends closed. Continue until all of the dough has been rolled and cut.
To add texture, roll the gnocchi over the large holes of a cheese grater, or drag the tines of a fork across each gnocchi. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil; drop in the gnocchi. Boil them until they rise to the top, then remove with a slotted skimmer, transfer to a heated platter or bowl. To serve, toss gnocchi with the brown butter and sage sauce.
Cook's note: It is important that the potatoes not be overcooked. If they are, they will absorb too much water and the gnocchi will be dense instead of tender.
BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE SAUCE (Instructions)
In 2-quart saucepan, gently melt butter over med. heat. Continue to cook, stirring until butter turns golden brown. (If butter gets too dark, it will turn bitter.) Remove from heat; add sage, salt and pepper; set aside.

(June 24, 2014) – The Delmarva Junior Open, traditionally known as a "Mid-Atlantic" USTA event, drew players from across the country last weekend, as participants from Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and Pennsylvania traveled to Ocean City to compete. Despite a slight dip in participants, likely due to new regional tournaments in the Washington D.C. area, the Delmarva Junior Open was an overall success.
"We were delighted with the quality of play and the ability to draw players from across the nation," stated Tennis Director, Dr. Keith Coleman, who also served as the Tournament Director. "There is some competition from the higher level tournaments in the region during this time of year so we didn't see the number of participants that we had anticipated, but we are hopeful that making some changes to the timing of the event could greatly impact the tournament in the future."
In the Girl's 16 Division, Celicilia Cress (Winchester,Va) was the champion by going undefeated in round robin play. Maureen MacLeod (Chestertown, MD) was the runner-up. In the Girl's 18 Division the semi-final matches were highly contested. In the first semi-final, Samanta Sterling (McKinney, TX) edged Nicole Shennett (Germantown, TN) by the score of 6-4, 6-4. In the second semi-final, Katarina Stevanovich (Delray Beach, FL) narrowly beat Peyton Schaffer (McMurray, PA) 7-5, 6-2. Stevanovich went on to cruise in the finals 6-0, 6-0.
The next junior tournament at the Ocean City Tennis Center (OCTC) will be the Ocean City Open scheduled for August 1-3, 2014. All tournaments played at the OCTC are sanctioned by the USTA. For more information or for registration, you can call the tennis center at 410.524.8337or the Recreation and Parks Department at 410.250.0125.

eagleye commented on the blog post Photos And Staff Emails Disprove Governor Chris Christie's 'Bridgegate' Statements
The thing that strikes me about this Christie situation is that apparently a number of people were in on the game, which leaves the guy at the top vulnerable, because at any time one of them could choose to rat him out for whatever vindictive reason. You gotta be stupid and arrogant to assume that you can pull off a nasty political trick like closing those lanes and somehow keep it all secret permanently, especially when your name is being raised as possible Presidential material. If I was a judge and a matter like this came before my court, I'd whack the defendant 10 years for the crime and another 10 for being such a dumbass that you're a menace to society.

eagleye commented on the blog post Marriage, Marijuana, Immigration, and Climate: How Millennials Will Remake American Politics
Good blog Jon, and I'm glad you're spreading some much-needed hope, but I'm not 100% convinced that we can make valid predictions about future political dynamics based on where the millennials are at now. I'm a boomer, came of age in the groovy 60′s (pot-woodstock-vietnam-psychedelics,etc.) and we were convinced when our age group came into our political and economic horsepower years that our values would be the dominant values of the culture. Well, that scenario clearly didn't play out as expected– we produced G.W. Bush, torture, Iraq, Afghanistan, $16 trillion worth of debt, massive environmental degradation, and so forth.

Here in NY state the gas fracking industry has tried to sell their agenda as "Energy Independence For New York." But one look at the fine print and it becomes apparent that they want to export gas everywhere else. Same deal with the Keystone oil pipleline– they want to send oil to Houston for refining [...]
eagleye commented on the blog post Don't Blame the Video Games
Of course video games aren't the sole cause of gun violence. But the gun imagery in video games is part and parcel of the broader culture of violence, and it's not a stretch to imagine that such imagery triggers a dangerous and extreme reaction in those who are already psychologically and emotionally damaged. We have people walking around among us who are ticking time bombs– let's not give them any fodder for their paranoid delusions.
eagleye commented on the diary post The Small Ball Trillion Dollar Coin Seigniorage Exception by letsgetitdone.
Put a likeness of Ronald Reagan on a trillion dollar coin and the Republicans will get on board with the idea. They would find it ideologically impossible to stand against the Gipper. And besides, he is one of the Founding Fathers of our national debt, so the symbolism is perfect….
eagleye commented on the blog post Morals as a Tool for Ideologues
What puzzles me about the so-called "conservatives" is their inability to understand that if they had exercised the sober and prudent fiscal policy that they claim to represent, they would actually enjoy lower taxes. Waging costly unfunded wars and handing out tax breaks to the economic elites are precisely what drove the national debt up to $16 trillion dollars, which imposes an enormous burden of interest payments on the taxpayer. Duh…

eagleye commented on the blog post Will we see a new 'Southern Strategy' — break up the 2012 minority vote coalition by doling out privilege?
The recent election dealt a blow to the value of the Republican brand, so I'm wondering if the big right wing money might try advancing their agenda by backing conservative corporate Democrats, ala Joe Lieberman and Mary Landrieu. In terms of tax policy and de-regulation, they can get most of what they want from those faux Democrats, which is a lot easier than trying to get Republicans elected in the present political climate. Instead of going up against the Democratic Party with its powerful Latino and African-American constituency, the fat cats might calculate they are better off to simply co-opt the Democrats. The Kochs and Adelsons and others of their ilk are mighty pissed, and not inclined to write big checks to Karl Rove again, so I'm betting that they are going to re-think their strategy and sponsor some puppet D's.

eagleye commented on the blog post Obama Lead Widens, Michigan Loses Swing State Status
I like the way the polls are moving toward Obama because the bigger his perceived lead is going into election day, the more difficult it becomes for the Republicans to pull off some kind of ballot scam and steal the election.
The other thing that is a big positive IMHO is that we're seeing a lot of GOP stalwarts make pointed and very public expressions of their doubts about Romney. He is getting hammered from the Right (George Will, Fortune Magazine, and many others) for his various gaffes, especially his godawful commentary on events in the Middle East today. What is especially interesting about this is that conservative politicians and TV personalities don't usually stray off the reservation. They almost always honor the tribal codes, for fear of being banished– Omerta is their highest value. But a lot of them are beating up on Romney of late, which suggests that they have already come to the conclusion that the GOP ticket is toast. They wouldn't be jeopardizing the coming election with their negative comments if they thought Romney had a decent chance of winning, because they would be putting themselves at risk of sanction.
eagleye commented on the blog post MarriageFactCheck.com Launched by Washington United for Marriage
The 1% who own and manage this country don't actually care much about gay marriage, abortion guns, or religion. There are not enough rich white guys to be politically competitive, so they need to create reliable voting blocs of surrogate voters, and their strategy has been to use the social issues to rally the cultural conservatives to the GOP side. The real agenda is another tax cut for Mitt Romney and the evisceration of government rules and regulations that might impact the Koch Brothers. It's a very transparent game, yet their clueless followers still haven't figured it out. The little old lady in Kansas casts her ballot for GOP candidates because she's been told she is supposed to hate and fear gay people, but the net result is that a hedge fund manager somewhere gets a reduced capital gains rate.
eagleye commented on the blog post A Critical Look at Preserve Marriage Washington's Talking Points
I hear ya, and agree that their nonsense has to be rebutted. But we should do so with an awareness of the real GOP agenda that underlies the social issues.
eagleye commented on the blog post A Critical Look at Preserve Marriage Washington's Talking Points
The Right doesn't actually give a rat's ass about same-sex marriage, or abortion, or guns, or religion, or any of the other social issues. They just use them as bait to draw the cultural conservatives out of their caves at election time to vote for Republicans, the real agenda being another tax cut for the 1%. We shouldn't make the mistake of engaging them in a good-faith discussion about any of these issues, because they aren't sincere about any of it in the first place.
eagleye commented on the blog post Todd Akin Is the Embodiment of the Modern GOP Platform
The GOP has a political dilemma. That party is essentially an advocacy organization for the 1%, but there aren't enough rich white guys to build a constituency that can win elections. So the only way for the Republicans to remain politically competitive is to cobble together a party that welcomes all manner of wingnuts who have been whipped into a frenzy over the hot-button social issues (god, guns, gays, abortion.) The little conservatives who form most of the GOP base don't have a clue that when they show up at the polls they aren't actually voting on their culturally conservative agenda– they are voting to insure that people like Mitt Romney get another tax break, and that government regulation of business is eviscerated.
eagleye commented on the blog post Todd Akin Wins Missouri GOP Primary as Claire McCaskill Hoped
Appreciate the article, but let's stop calling these goofballs "conservatives." This is an enormous tactical error that a lot of smart progressives continue to make. The term conservative confers a mainstream legitimacy to what is really a radical agenda.

My bet is that Romney doesn't want to release his tax forms for two reasons-

Psychologist report in on accused murderer of peace officerCharity: Defence says report shows Kloschinsky was mentally ill at time of killingBy: Darlene Casten | Posted: Wednesday, Mar 12, 2014 11:33 am The man accused of killing a foothills peace officer will remain in psychiatric care until his next court date in late March. Trevor Kloschinsky made a brief court appearance in Calgary on March 7. Kloschinsky is charged with the first-degree murder of peace officer Rod Lazenby on Aug. 10, 2012. Lazenby was at Kloschinsky�s Priddis-area rental home that day to discuss his more than 30 dogs. He had issued a notice to have the kennel shut down and was working with Kloschinsky to have the proper paperwork filled out to apply for the proper permits to house that many dogs. Lazenby was believed to have been following up on the issue on the day of his death. It is unknown what happened next, but it�s alleged that morning Kloschinsky drove a nearly dead Lazenby to a Calgary police station. Lazenby died on the way to the hospital. The case has been before the courts for a year-and-a-half. Last week the court heard a psychologist report that looked at Kloschinsky�s mental state at the time of the killing was ready. Kloschinsky�s lawyer, Maggie O�Shaughnessy, said the report shows her client has a mental illness. �There is no surprise in the results,� she said. �My client is unwell.� She said the report is lengthy and had input from multiple psychologists. The Crown prosecutor said they only received the report a day earlier and need time to review it before deciding what the next step will be. O�Shaughnessy expressed frustration that the case again couldn�t move forward. �As you heard today the Crown was completely not prepared to move ahead today,� she said. O�Shaughnessy she was granted a request to have Kloschinsky kept at the forensics centre until his next court date. �In remand he will continue to deteriorate,� she said. O�Shaughnessy said she hopes to set a hearing to determine if Kloschinsky was criminally responsible at the time of Lazenby�s death, however, she believes the Crown will oppose it. If the Crown does oppose a hearing, a trial could be set. Kloschinsky will be back in Calgary court March 25. Comments

Home > Our Services > LAP Band Surgery > LAP-BAND Surgery Performed by Dr. Haley
525 N FosterMitchell, SD 57301605-995-2000
Dr. Michael D. Haley, M.D., FACS, has received training in the BioEnterics® LAP-BAND® System and offers laparoscopic gastric banding utilizing the LAP-BAND® System. The LAP-BAND® System, which is adjustable, is placed laparoscopically without cutting or stapling of the stomach or gastrointestinal rerouting to bypass normal digestion.
To date, more than 100,000 patients worldwide have undergone the LAP-BAND® System procedure, and since the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the LAP-BAND® System in June of 2001, interest in and use of the LAP-BAND® System have been rapidly growing in the United States.
Dr. Haley established the Avera Bariatric Center (now known as Avera Medical Group Bariatrics Mitchell), located at Dakota Medical Specialists, 2200 North Kimball, Suite 950, to provide care for LAP-BAND® patients. The Avera Bariatric Center and Avera Queen of Peace Hospital share a mission to deliver this minimally invasive surgical solution to an extensive patient base. Using the LAP-BAND® System, created by INAMED Health, patients will experience reduced pain, trauma, and recovery periods, as well as sustained, healthy weight loss primarily because the procedure creates an earlier feeling of fullness and limits food consumption.
Dr. Haley completed an INAMED health-sponsored training program which included theoretical and practical instruction in the laparoscopic placement of the BioEnterics® LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System, and they are among the first surgeons in the area to perform the LAP-BAND® System procedure. According to Dr. Haley, "The beauty of the LAP-BAND® System is that it can be adjusted to the patients' unique weight loss needs. That gives patients the opportunity to have the band removed without damage to the organs if a truly effective drug therapy should become available at a later date."
According to Avera Queen of Peace former President and CEO, Tom Rasmusson, "Given the aggressive increase in rate of obesity, experts predict it will continue to escalate as a national health crisis. We are extremely pleased that Dr. Haley has initiated this new service which offers a viable solution to safely treat severely obese individuals." Rasmusson continued, "This would significantly reduce or resolve the health conditions this patient group suffers from and drive down the massive costs of treating this epidemic, which already exceeds $200 billion when considering all obesity related costs on an annual basis."

"This looks very good, but I can't give it 5 stars as I wouldn't add the nuts or raisins, which are too high in calories for my personal preference... and if this is intended for 2 servings they would be far to small... this is more like one small serving in my opinion."
"Just made this tonight for dinner. SO GOOD! I used 1/2 cup egg whites, and one large banana which I mashed with a pastry blender, leaving some chunks, as well as cinnamon. I was originally planning on using some sugar-free syrup, but when I tasted how sweet this was, I didn't even bother!! Tastes EXACTLY like french toast!! Will make again and aga..."

I have a very beautiful amaryllis Gervase with 9 leaves. Do I have to wait until the leaves turn yellow and than stop watering or do I have to stop watering right now? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you are growing it inside then you need to read the FAQ (DO NOT REPLY TO THE FAQ) to see how to force your bulb to dormancy. As long as you continue to water it in the house, it will not go dormant and will grow as an evergreen! K |
Is it also possible to grow it as an evergreen? Does he flower then? |

Comments about NIKE Men's Zoom Rival 6 Track Shoes:
For first year track people, I reccomend this shoe. The heel on the shoe helps keep you from tripping on the track. It also helps with your shins as you will most likely develope shin splints. Yes, the heel gives added weight, but it's very minute. It's not the shoe that makes you fast, but the person.

text: I don't wear lipstick very often; after years of wasting $$$ trying to find the perfect nude/natural lipstick shade/formulation for me I simply gave up! But this lipstick is one of the few I actually like and wear. It's a light cool neutral pink/beige that works well for my skin tone, it feel nice and creamy going on and lasts a reasonable amount of time, and no funky smell!!

NEW YORK— A winter that has largely spared the Northeast thus far is about to arrive with gusto: a storm the National Weather Service called "potentially historic" could dump 2 feet or more of snow between New York and Boston. New York City, Boston and Connecticut should expect whopping snow totals of up to 2 feet, he said. "Looks like our luck is about to run out," said John...

we saw brer bear, rabbit and fox in 2004!:yahoo:

we saw brer bear, rabbit and fox in 2004!:yahoo:
I dont know if you guys ever heard this or not but apparently, Jiminey Cricket (sp) only comes out on Earth Day.
Yes, we saw Jiminy last October at Rafiki's Planet Watch. I was excited to finally see him.
I met Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum in the late 1970's, as well as Brer Fox. Can't wait to see Jiminy this year!
Believe it or not, i have never meet Donald Duck in all these years.
I dont have a picture of him with me neither an autograph.
Thats so hard for me because he is my Fav character.
For me it was Smee. I had no idea they would have him at the park!
I do not if they are rare but my first trip in '01 we saw the card from...um... I do not know what they are from. I think Alice in Wonderland. They were by the Tea cups.
I have a distinct recollection of seeing Megara not so long ago. I was quite excited as I love Hercules!!
Lunatic - I have said for many years that you just dont see Donald Duck often enough! Having been going to WDW for 20 years this year, I think I have seen him in the parks...maybe 4 times.
I was 'attacked' by an Ewok in line for Star Tours in DLP once - not sure how rare that is these days!
Donald is actually pretty common. He can be found in all 4 parks, plus in dining (Chef Mickey's, Tusker House breakfast, and Cape May breakfast).
I don't know how "rare" any of these are, but I haven't seen them much. I met Daisy Duck last year, and I don't see her much outside of parades and such. I also saw Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow. There was absolutely no line for them, because I don't think anyone really knew them.
Sorry if these aren't actually that rare, but they were kind of rare to me when I saw them!

Baytown, TX 77521
Why turn to Baytown City Tow Squad for towing in Baytown? Why not ask another towing company in Baytown at random for towing Baytown TX?
Well, why waste time asking those questions when you could be getting the best in towing Baytown from Baytown City Tow Squad? Our towing services Baytown TX are the most complete, in terms of variety and operational elements. Other towing companies Baytown cannot offer the optimal combination of excellent towing Baytown personnel, best-quality tow trucks Baytown, quick and efficient request and dispatch system, and of course our great prices. Other towing companies Baytown might overcharge you for even the simplest jobs like gas delivery Baytown, but we will never do that. Our pricing for towing Baytown and other services is fair and justified – no excessive premiums, no hidden fees, and only the finest towing Baytown service for your money.
We will never stoop down to the level of certain cheap towing Baytown companies. They use barely-passable tow trucks Baytown, use substandard towing Baytown techniques, offer the narrowest range of towing services Baytown TX, and then have the gall to overcharge you for their towing Baytown. Please do not give them your patronage, especially if you can get it so much better.
Here at Baytown City Tow Squad, you can get the finest towing Baytown TX, using only prime tow trucks Baytown, and operated only by the best of the towing Baytown workforce. You ask about our prices? For the quality of towing Baytown we can give you, each cent is totally worth it. These are what make us the king of the Baytown city towing circles.
Our tow trucks Baytown are exemplars of proper maintenance. Our towing Baytown personnel in and out of the base of operations are the most well-trained and most civil.
The towing Baytown techniques we apply are the most efficient and refined. Of course, our towing Baytown TX response times are also in the top rank. If it is a question of towing in Baytown TX, then the only answer is Baytown City Tow Squad. For our list of towing Baytown services, read on.
A) Flatbed Towing Services Baytown
We begin by offering the least common among towing services Baytown TX: flatbed
towing Baytown TX. Many a towing company in Baytown will forget about this vital service, or simply not offer it because of the lower demand for it. The fact that we offer it is just part of what makes as the leading towing company in Baytown. We have different sizes of flatbed tow trucks Baytown too, so we can answer different jobs more efficiently.
For this tow truck service Baytown, a specially-adapted flatbed truck is used. Flatbed towing Baytown involves loading and securing the vehicle to be towed onto the back of the flatbed tow truck Baytown. The need for this kind of towing Baytown is limited, but the safety level is peerless. If you have a new or a barely-used vehicle, then you want to keep it as undamaged and pristine as possible. What more for a show car? For these delicate towing Baytown jobs, flatbed towing Baytown is the best option – a towing Baytown option that we at Baytown City Tow Squad are proud to offer.
B) Wheel Lift Towing Baytown TX
Of course, you cannot survive by offering only the rarest things; you need to make up for it via volume. If you talk about volume in the towing Baytown business, then nothing can beat wheel lift towing Baytown. It is effective for normal towing Baytown tasks and applicable in many unusual jobs too. The tow truck Baytown used for this is what many can instantly recognize as a tow truck: short, bulky, and having a winching Baytown assembly in the back. This tow truck Baytown has enough mass and power to lift part of the target vehicle's weight and pull it along safely. It is also the least expensive towing Baytown service, since it only really needs one operator, a simple tow truck Baytown, and minimal problem-solving. Of course, carelessness can result in damage and injury, so look for the most competent personnel for this kind of towing Baytown.
C) Boom Truck Towing Baytown TX
Though they are not needed as often as wheel lift towing Baytown, boom-equipped tow trucks Baytown can do the same things and much more. Because of the long boom atop them, members of this class of tow truck Baytown can be used to recover vehicles otherwise unviable for towing Baytown. Say that the car has been upended or is stuck vertically in a deep ditch – wheel lift towing Baytown just won't cut the mustard then. With the long boom, the car or other object can be pulled up to a more manageable position and then positioned to facilitate normal towing Baytown. Our boom-equipped tow trucks in Baytown are operated by personnel well-trained in the application and proper methods to prevent injuries or damage.
D) Offers Beyond Towing Baytown
You do not become the best towing company in Baytown without adding the little extras people appreciate. That is why, aside from giving you towing in Baytown, we also offer the complementary services: car lockout Baytown solutions, flat tire service Baytown, jump starts, and gas delivery Baytown. These and more make our lineup of towing services in Baytown the most complete.
For the most towing services Baytown and the best quality towing Baytown TX, call Baytown City Tow Squad!

From different other activities such as games and communication, now the online field is more capable than ever to supply people with other needs. That is because a simple computer with a good connection to the internet is enough in order to create the right supermarket groceries. Even more, this method tends to imply more pluses than choosing the old local stores around.
They offer a wide range of products
One of the most important reasons of why online supermarked is better is definitely the wide range of products available. Usually people do not like to ask for a certain product on the local shop and the vendor to say that there are no products such as that one, there. So, the online field is more able to provide people with information fast and easy. A person can find out right away about the availability of a product without having to spend more time going to the local store and asking it. The wide range of products can help a person have diverse meals and enjoy eating with the loved ones without having to be exhausted from carrying the shopping bags.
They are open all the time
Another important reason why these supermarkets are appreciated is because of their high availability. This means that no matter what time or day it is, the online supermarket is open. Once the order is placed, a person will get the chance to receive the wanted products fast and easy. So, in case you need urgently an item, you can order it online.
They give additional advice
The best pieces of advice are quite appreciated today, and this is even more valid when it comes to important aspects of life such as health and food are. So, apart from the items sold, an online supermarked can also give people other free advice for different aspects of life. For instance, some web pages tend to include recipes with different products available inside the virtual store. In this way a person will feel that is much easier to purchase the products directly and to use them exactly in the same recipe. In this way a person can get more diverse food, a fact that can make it get rid of the routine eating and dull recipes.
They monitor your purchases and expenses
Furthermore, there is no doubt that people use to spend an important amount of money at every store. While adding the products inside the cart, a person does not realize the amount of money that has to be paid at the cashier. But apart from monitor your purchases by the help of the account created, the online supermarkets even give to people the possibility to see the total of their purchases before paying with the credit card. In this way a person can choose to purchase some items wisely without having to spend too much all the time.
That is how, for an efficient grocery shopping, all you need now is a computer and a credit card that will ensure a good method of payment. After that the items will arrive directly at your home without the need to travel to a regular shop that can be far away.

Hi ALL !
I'm sick of the 2 stroke thing! Need to replace my ten year old Toro string trimmer! I'm getting mixed reviews about this 36 Volt ION trimmer that Black & Decker has now! I don't have much to trim, maybe 5 minutes. Will it cut Golden Rod stems?? Any real owners out there! Many thanks, Ted |

A month later... I'd ask Black and Decker, if possible....seems as if customer service is disappearing.... Do ignore the advertisements. |

I have a recipe for a Chocolate walnut Cake Roll. One of the ingredients is 2 Tablespoons of coffee beverage. I really hate even the smell of anything with coffee flavor. What can I use instead? Thanks in advance. gengenz |
Follow-Up Postings:
I hate coffee, too. You could, of course, just use water instead of coffee. Or a combo of water and a flavor extract like walnut, almond, cinnamon, etc. Or how about using rum, or even brandy? The alcohol would bake away, leaving the flavor in your cake. |

Jim Rohn: My 20th Year Anniversary
This year marks the 20 year anniversary of meeting my personal mentor, Jim Rohn.
There is no question I would not be the man (or achiever) I am today if not for his mentorship.
Jim cemented my philosophical foundation and nourished my mind with ideas and ambitions never before imagined. Jim chiseled my character seminar by seminar, tape by tape, book by book, then CD by CD, hour by hour. Read More
Mind Your Own Business
The business I had built to $50 million in revenue I sold in 1999.
I then planned to take a year (or more) off and moved to Miami's South Beach.
That lasted about 30 days.
I went stir crazy!
This was during the Internet boom. I was observing all these young guys and gals making fortunes and it was driving me nuts. Read More
Mining Mentors
Someone recently asked me this question on Facebook: "Do you have any suggestions on how we can get the most from our mentors?"
It's a good question and I'm sure you've already figured out that I am a huge believer in the value of mentors.
All of my life I've collected mentors like others collect rare coins (or kitchy flamingo figurines). Read More

Tortoise vs. Hare. Who Wins? Think Again.
If you read The Compound Effect (hope so!) you know I am a fan of the story of the tortoise and the hare and the lesson it teaches about how hardworking, consistent and steady-paced people (or reptiles) will eventually overtake the fast, talented, experienced but complacent people (or mammals).
Someone recently shared with me an adaptation of the story that makes a poignant leadership point. Read More
