I worked at Methodist Healthcare full-time (more than 10 years)
Good doctors, experience. A lot of specialties
The computer rules now, not patient care. RNS have so much computer charting, patient care is done by techs.
Let nurses do patient care. More nurses, less techs.
I have been working at Methodist Healthcare
ProsI work with highly skilled, compassionate people dedicated to providing the best care possible to the community we serve. We typically work well together to ensure the best patient outcome. The people I work with and the people I care for are the best part of my job.
ConsSometimes the now rapid changes to patient care environment seem poorly planned. More often, staffing seems based on numbers than acuity.
Advice to ManagementAdviceTake a moment to think about how you would want to be cared for or your family. Before affecting a change in the patient care environment, ask yourself how can we make this work?

I worked at Methodist Healthcare
ProsSome departments and shifts work very well together. It is almost like visiting with friends because everyone helps out and gets the work done effectively. The Germantown location in particular has very little problems with other departments. Communication is easy between departments and people work well together.
ConsThere are big differences between shifts. Things are very numbers driven now in healthcare. It is not necessarily specific to this healthcare system, but here it is brought to the staff to reinforce what needs improving.
Advice to ManagementAdviceListen to all sides of a situation. Do not take words out of context and apply them universally. Speak with people directly and do not rely on informants.

These Close to Ceiling Light Fixtures can really upgrade your home. With a little assist from LampsUSA, you can quickly find the right ceiling light fixture and be confident in your selection. Close-to-Ceiling-Lights traditionally hang in the center of a bedroom, or in a hallway or closet. Ceiling lights are typically single-stem and compact in height.
Flush lights provide mainly ambient light, to illuminate your entire space. Designers appreciate flush mount light fixtures because of their functionality and style. ceiling lights also give you many new style choices because of the the wide variety of materials like glass, fabric, and laser-cut metal.
Because ceiling lights are a personal lighting fixture, it is important to find a reputable manufacturer.
You might choose a flush mount for your room rather than a hanging fixture if ceiling height is limited. For 8' ceilings, stick with flush mounts.

By Dirk G. Lange. November 9, 2014 will mark the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Just over fifty-three years ago, a huge wall was built, a mighty fortress—a wall around East Berlin, a wall to keep out and a wall to keep in. This wall isolated people and forcefully molded them into a single, straight, dreary one-dimensional way of living. The wall represented an oppressive system without cracks, without breaks, without life. Almost 500 years ago, a monk by the name of Ma … [Read more...]

Homeworld Remastered review
Sins and Homeworld are in completely different genres.
Sins is a 4x empire building game in space.
Homeworld is an RTS in space.
Sins is set across entire star system has a focus on capturing worlds, developing planets, creating a trade, resource, civilian and military infrastructure, supporting a standing fleet and sending it out to defend chokepoints and attacking enemy borders. Combat is simpler than in Homeworld. Send fleets to the same gravity well and they can pretty much duke it out on a 2D field by themselves. Only the consistency, numbers, amount of tech researched and the experience points/levels of the capital ships matter. The Empire aspect is as important as the fleet battle aspect. If you lose an engagement, a strong empire can simply rebuild their fleet in a matter of minutes.
Homeworld focusses completely on a single fleet and is set completely within a single location per battle, rather than entire galaxies. The location is in 3D and how you position and use individual units is critical to the entire fight, right down to targeting specific components on enemy cruisers. If you leave your units to fight by themselves, they'll lose to strategy. Even though Sins battles can be larger and impressive on a matter of scale, they are a bit statistical. Conversely, it's details that are sweetest in homeworld. In Sins, the main battery of a capital ship just adds to the swirling chaos. In Homeworld, it's awesome to see the broadside of a destroyer and the impact is meaty. If you lose your fleet, it's over and you need to run a new game.
It's a choice between being fleet commander (Homeworld) or Emperor of the Universe (Sins) Reply +1 -

Dracula unbound: The story behind the first 18 certificated video game
"I remember they dressed in Victorian Garb..."
Sounds like they dressed up for the occasion of reviewing a Dracula game.
Wonderful insight, actually pushing for an 18 rating, but having the media and public perception actually hurt their efforts more than it helps. I might be naive, but it's so hard to tell these days if games actually want their higher age rating. Hatred certainly does, but for others its a tightrope act of availability vs PR; the effects of wich this article showcases well. Reply 0 -

I'm sure I'm going to love Darkest Dungeon, simply on merit of finding loot and leveling up alone, just like I have many of the hack and slash games that came before it. All I need to do now is hope it will be better than that and truly distinguish itself. Reply 0 -

Eurogamer has dropped review scores
Because that is Eurogamer's opinion. That is the identity and the taste of the people running the site.
I agree, Bayonetta 2 rocked. And I think Grown Home is more essential than Sunless Sea.
However, there's no arguing recommendation and opinion. The best you can do is read the review to find out why and wonder if your taste is the same as Eurogamer's. Reply 0 -
Why are the comments down much more flavored against the new scoring system then those up? It seems that people who reguraly visit Eurogamer are fine with the change and those that do sporadically are against it. Interesting...
EDIT: Thousandth! Reply -2 -
I'd like to think that taking the time to do research is instrumental in being a good consumer. Going in blindly is almost as bad as relying on review scores and if you can't be arsed to research than you're taking the responsibility of possible disappointment yourself and not the developer or the media.

I'm just commenting now because I feel that this article should get more than a 1000 comments.
I think they need a pro and con box to make it known what is exactly good about the game, or bad. Reply +2 -

The God who Peter Molyneux forgot
I always saw Monyleux as a kind-hearted, passionate individual simply had some difficulty reigning himself in. I have an uncle like that. Tall stories the size of skyscrapers. Take with pinch of salt and behind all the bluster is a likable individual who means well.
After this article however? Ouch. Having a real hard time thinking positively of Molyneux now. He sounds like a narcissistic douchebag, but having grown up with the types, he probably can't even help himself. He clearly doesn't have the personal responsibility to have his name mean anything and putting any stock in him is harmful. Sadly, people should now better since Monyleux can't be expected to.

Grow Home review
Me too! I had half expected the giant plant to drain the life out of the rest of the planet, or that the spaceship was going to fly home without me now that BUD was redundant. That is new home was the one he had just grown.

Live from 4pm: Q&A with Eurogamer's editor
Interesting. I was wondering why Taboola had managed to pierce my Addblock protection a few months ago. Entire pages were blank, except for Taboola.
Don't fret though, they only paid to get whitelisted under the standard rules that most Addblock users use. You can still raise the bar to restrict all advertisement including taboola with a few tweaks.
Still, that article made me sad. Thanks for linking it. Reply 0 -
Ah, oh well. Nice of him to drop by. :) Reply 0
Still wondering (alongside others) if there's going to be a pro & con box now, or an additional breakdown of why the game got its rating, now that the score is gone. Reply 0
I'd like to restate: Yes there's still a few niggles with Eurogamer, like the wording of the new ratings, the destiny articles, layout, etc. However as much as we'd like to turn this into the perfect site, there really is none and the kinks give the site its identity and character. I can get used to the new rating.
Latest changes just make EG have more of the identity I want it to have. ;) Reply 0 -
Thanks Oli.
I'll continue to invest time in finding a way to make Tabolaa the blocked exception within the unblocked exception that is Eurogamer. Keep up the good work and well done. Reply 0 -
Oh whow, you brought my remark up. Thanks Oli. Reply 0
Hah! Nice one, but I think Milestone is an even more loaded term than Essential. Gets closer to the truth though. I don't exactly see something like Sunless Sea as either "Essential" or a "Milestone" though. It's 10/10 good, but not any of the terms above. Let's just agree it's a tricky subject but that this is a step in the right direction for the good of the reviewing and gaming industry. Now we just need to argue semantics. Reply 0
Alright so maybe the wording is not the best, but I think the amount of passing time and current events will allow the term essential to encompass more games. The invention of fire can be seen as less essential to our current society than the steamengine because one is more complex and contemporary, but both have a valid claim. Reply 0 -

@Cheeky-Girl-Gamer No unbiased reviews exist. Bias like stand-out moments will remain. The trick to being a consumer is, is knowing who reviewed the gamer, figuring out the bias (like Oli and Blizzard products), what the game did to make the score so high and decide if you have similar tastes.
I still think that some sort of rating should remain though. If only for Eurogamer to generate some buzz and make its identity clear. Reply 0 -
The day anyone creates a site that just links to the game reviews without doing anything with the score, is the day they replaced Metacritic for me.

I'd like to ban Taboola from running adds on Eurogamer. You can have my addblock exception once that site is gone. I'm in a reading state once I finish an article. I don't need to ambushed by attention-demanding words like "Secret" "Shocking" and "Medical" along with the pictures. It's not right. Reply 0
@Physically_Insane Doubly so on a site like eurogamer where you have to read I can imagine. One of the reasons I would like to use addblock. I can simply focus on the text more without distraction. Reply 0

GDC preview: Windows 10 vs SteamOS
Hey you're right! Amazing! But wait:
*Uninstalls old-fashioned game*
*Clicks on desktop Shortcut*
*Game won't load*
Oh my god! The rabbit hole goes even deeper!
In all seriousness though, I get what you're saying now and I hadn't considered Steam actually being a form of DRM before, so thanks for the retort.
However, I can then continue to claim that everything is DRM right down to the cash register in my brick and mortar store and a lack of free space on my hard drive. Even that restricts my access to a product in some way.
I think the debatable line for what is unwanted DRM Anno 2015 is whether or not you require the internet and that makes Steam escape my definition of it.
You're right though. Thanks for clearing that up. Your point has given me some food for thought. Reply +2 -

Sunless Sea review
uh huh, and it gets a 10/10.
Irrelevant, as is the score and everything else about the review. The moment Eurogamer ran the disclaimer, was the moment it became your responsibility as a discerning human being to make of the review what you wanted, instead of use the leniency that was generously given to you to complain and don the tin foil hat.

Sunless Sea emerges from Early Access this Friday
I've been looking forward to this. Love the Cthulu-esque concept and they kept a meticulously held planning schedule up to release. Haven't had any interest in many early access products, but this was certainly one of the better looking ones I've seen.
They only thing that kept me from going in early, is because I was so looking forward to it that I only wanted to savour the completed product instead of spoil the appetite on beta appetizers. I guess its the curse of making your early access too good when it comes to types like me. Definitely a day one purchase.
As an aside, they made the "Last Court" mini-game for Dragon Age: Inquisition. It's text-heavy, but the writing is wonderful for those looking for a deeper, slower and more meaningful literary jaunt down a rich world. Reply +2 -

Blizzard makes Warcraft 3 assets available in StarCraft 2
Used to be that developers sank their own funds and effort into producing games. Then with Early access, they put in the effort but started to expect that consumers fund the game for them.
Blizzard now does the next best thing and assumes the consumer to make their own games for them.
Its great that they're releasing assets, and engaging the consumer like this. I think they're aware there's people making this unofficial Sequel. However, if they are, then this tells me they're not planning on working on Warcraft any time soon.
You don't release a boatload of assets for people to tinker with, only to start working on a product that makes all of it outdated in the short term.
Don't like Blizzard games, but I really respect them for this move. Reply 0 -
Planetside 2's record-breaking battle was an eSports moment worth savouring
I pictured this map with troop strength and arrows signifying vectors of attack for the entire lower half of this article. They should have hired the team who made the battlefield TV series to narrate it. It would have been awesome.
I wonder if all three sides employed something of a battlefield commander to keep track of the bigger pictures, or if all of this was just organic chaos coming from self-proclaimed field lieutenants focused on whatever stretch of field lay before them.
That would be my ultimate dream... a RTS/shooter hybrid where an RTS player recommends movements and objectives with keyboard and mouse, to an army of FPS players across a large area. Reply 0 -

Failed to reach CCS Tournament does not tell the story. The coach, athletic director, and CCS should have a process to ensure the qualified teams they are responsible for are able to compete in the tournament they were qualified to play in. Why won't any of those responsible confirm whether or not the paperwork was submitted to the CCS seeding committee? Forgot to submit the paperwork is too kind. Hard working high school athletes can't represent themselves so they need their leaders to watch out for them.

Horrible coach, very unpredictable, tried to lose numerous games... For example, Against half moon bay he started the 5 bottom players and only played the regular starters a few mins late in the second half after getting down by 40. Glad he's gone.

StarNight 2014, a gala supporting the programs and services of Siskin Children's Institute, is set for Aug. 16 with headliner Colbie Caillat performing. Just over two months before the event, Ms. Caillat has released her new EP, Gypsy Heart – Side A, on iTunes with an accompanying lyric video for the EP's first single, "Try." The new album immediately charted on iTunes Top 40 and the lyric video for "Try" has cameos from Miranda Lambert, Sheryl Crow, Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott and more.
"Colbie is such an amazing singer/songwriter and performer," said John Farrimond, president of Siskin Children's Institute. "To have the opportunity to bring her to Chattanooga when she has fabulous new songs to share is a great feeling. I expect that we will be seeing and hearing a lot from her over the next two months and beyond."
For Gypsy Heart's first single, "Try", she joined forces with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Gently plucking an acoustic guitar along to a lush piano melody, the singer makes a statement about female body image. The lyric, "Put your makeup on, get your nails done, curl your hair, run the extra mile, keep it slim so they like you," resonates at a time when there is pushback against the standards of unattainable beauty, said officials. For the song's lyric video, she enlisted both fans and celebrities to appear without makeup, freeing themselves and embracing natural beauty. The chorus hit home that point – "You don't have to change a single thing. You don't have to try."
To date, Ms. Caillat has been honored with two Grammy Awards and sold over six million albums and 10 million singles worldwide. Her breakthrough hit "Bubbly" remains "one of the best-selling digital tracks in history" and her multi-platinum debut Coco hit #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart upon release, while her sophomore set Breakthrough landed at #1. From 2011's All of You, "Brighter Than The Sun" went platinum and enjoyed over 20 film and television placements, while seeing acclaim from People and NY Post. She's also played sold out venues everywhere alongside everybody from John Mayer to Sheryl Crow. Beyond music, she's an spokesperson and supporter for the the Humane Society of the United States, the ASPCA, Farm Sanctuary, Surfrider Foundation, and Save The Music.
"I just want to write songs that stay with people," said Ms. Caillat. "If fans can listen to my music on repeat, that's amazing. And play my songs during memorable moments in their life, I know I want that more than anything."

This must be why people are begging so hard for MvsC3 to be on PC?
The simple fact is that they HAD to give them to everyone on PC whether they buy the DLC characters or not.
Otherwise can you imagine the uproar it would create if people who hadn't bought the DLC characters couldn't fight the ones that had due to missing the required files?

The Rattlers (37-30) grabbed an early lead with a second inning run. Chris Dennis was at third with two outs. Tony Pechek's grounder behind second base was bobbled for an error. That allowed Pechek to reach and Dennis to score the unearned run.
Peoria (33-34) threatened to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth. Micah Gibbs doubled off the wall in right to start the inning. A grounder to the right side moved Gibbs to third with one out. But, Wisconsin third baseman Greg Hopkins stopped a hard grounder to left off the bat of Anthony Giansanti with a diving stop. Hopkins looked Gibbs back to third and threw to first in time for the second out. Then, Reggie Keen tracked down a deep fly ball to right-center to retire Brandon May and end the inning.
After that double by Gibbs, Hall retired ten straight Chiefs to protect that lead.
Wisconsin got an insurance run in the top of the eighth inning. Nick Shaw tripled to right-center with two outs. Cody Hawn followed with a line drive single to right on a 1-2 pitch. The single sent Shaw home for a 2-0 lead.
Hall went back out for the eighth inning and got the first out. But, he streak of consecutive batters stopped at ten when Anthony Giansanti reached on an infield single. Hall walked one and struck out two for his third win of the season.
Reliever Eric Marzec answered the call to the bullpen and came in to get the second out of the inning. But, Hyung-Min Na reached on another infield single to put the tying runs on base and bring the go ahead run to the plate. But, Marzec got Matt Szczur, who entered the game second in the Midwest League batting raced, to pop out to Hawn in foul territory behind first base for the final out.
Wisconsin closer Greg Holle worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning by getting three ground outs to end the game. Holle is 15-for-15 in save opportunities this season. He is also tied for the Midwest League lead in the save category with Steve Turnbull of Lansing.
The Rattlers completed their first four game sweep at O'Brien Field since July 11-14, 2003.
Wisconsin also got help from the Clinton LumberKings on Thursday night. Clinton defeated Quad Cities 5-1 to knock the River Bandits record to 37-29. The River Bandits head home to wrap up the first half with a three game series against the Chiefs.
The Rattlers begin their final series of the first half on Friday night at Perfect Game Field in Cedar Rapids, Iowa against the Kernels. Jimmy Nelson (2-6, 5.09) is the scheduled starting pitcher for Wisconsin. The Kernels have scheduled Baudilio Lopez (0-1, 15.00) as their starting pitcher.
Game time on Friday night is 6:35pm. Tune in for the broadcast on AM1280, WNAM or timberrattlers.com starting with the Miller Lite Pregame Show at 6:15pm.

10US banker under Sri Lanka scrutiny Stock exchange to probe Raj Rajaratnam's trades after his arrest in insider trading case. 19 Oct 2009 18:11 GMT Rajaratnam, the founder of the Galleon Group hedge fund, was formally charged in the US on Friday However, a Sri Lankan military intelligence official said on the condition of anonymity that Rajaratnam, 52, had a "very cordial relationship" with the present government. Last month, Rajaratnam pledged $1 million to help rehabilitate former fighters of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). No suspicion The Sri Lankan stock market regulator said it had no suspicion of any untoward dealings by Rajaratnam in its market, but said it would investigate his trades nonetheless. "We are looking at his recent transactions closely. Given what has unfolded in the US, in light of that, we want to look at his positions here," Channa De Silva, the Sri Lankan Securities and Exchange Commission head, told the Reuters news agency. The Galleon Group has had as much as $7bn in assets under its control. By comparison, the total value of outstanding shares on the Colombo Stock Exchange was $8.63bn on Monday. In a sign of Rajaratnam's influence on the Sri Lankan market, either as an investor or through Galleon Group, the Colombo Stock Exchange had its biggest intra-day drop in five years before recovering to close down 1.56 per cent. Higher economic-growth hopes, more market liquidity, a $2.6bn International Monetary Fund loan, an upgraded rating outlook and foreign inflows have all boosted investor confidence since the end of the war. Rajaratnam's arrest created headlines in Sri Lanka, where he is viewed with admiration for his success but also suspicion because of at least $5 million that US records show he gave to the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO). Funds frozen Rajaratnam has not been charged with any crime in Sri Lanka, nor has the US charged him in the case of the TRO. The TRO's funds were frozen in both countries after they were found to have been channelled to the LTTE, defeated by the Sri Lankan army in May to end a 25-year war. "The TRO investigations are continuing. It's not clear yet. The involvement of the Galleon fund with funding the TRO is also being probed," Ajith Nivard Cabraal, the Central Bank governor, told the Reuters news agency in Jaffna. The Sri Lankan foreign ministry had passed an intelligence dossier on Rajaratnam to US authorities in 2007, around the time the TRO was being investigated by the US treasury, two Sri Lankan officials familiar with the matter told Reuters. The US, Sri Lanka and Britain all have put the now-defeated LTTE on their banned "terrorist organisation" lists. Source: Reuters

Kian wished to stay in a castle...
... passed along the way. Though quite warm, we could see some rain and lightening/thunderstorms just behind us, so we didn't stick around too long. Things were feeling a little ominous, however.
We got the maps app working on Olga's phone, and started back towards the Castilnovo Castle Hotel. We found it, and made our way up the long driveway and to the parking lot around the back. There was a group of ...
In search of the best lamb in the world
They say the best lamb in the world is from Spain. Specifically the plains north of Madrid in Castilla-Leon. Some people say the very best is found in the small town of Sepulveda, which seems to have as many roasting houses as people. The most famous of these is Figon Zute el Mayor, also known as "Tinin". That is where we set off to.
There is no train station in sepulveda. The only way to reach it from Madrid is a once daily bus that leaves at ...
Buitrago del Lozoya
... I think it was a different type of wood. Above the bar were several hand-hammered, bas relief panels. They looked like they were brass. The theme on all of the panels was bullfighting.
When we left the bar we stopped and looked at a map of the town. The town is surrounded on three sides by the Rio Lozoya. That particular end of town is surrounded by an old wall. The wall was built by the Romans.
El Atazar
After turning around in Berrueco I got on the correct road to the small village of el Atazar. It is literally at the end of the road. That being said, it was a beautiful drive of probably 25 kilometers or so. For about half of the distance, the road passes through the forest, well above the el Atazar Reservoir. Periodically there were stopping areas from which I could take a photo or two.
Arriving at the dam end of ...
Patones de Arriba
... the "bread oven". It is still part of an occupied home, but is apparently typical for what would have been found in virtually every home in the past. I imagine the bread that would come from such an oven would taste great.
I did find a couple of small shops; however, I did not buy anything. The village seems to be dominated more by restaurants than shops. I did not eat there. I had lunch later in the day at the village of el ...

thewonderingman chapter 1 . 9/21/2012 Not bad, not bad at all, its actouly pretty good if you think about it. Now I just have a few things I thought you might wanna know. fist off, Just to let you know percy jackson and the olympians involves greak mythology so doing a crossover is unecissary, and I think if you switch to just one, you'll get more views. And when using these ,,,,, your supposed to put a spce between it and the next word. Other than that the story was pretty good a little short but nontheless good, and I hope you update relatively soon. wonderingman out, peace. ;P |
wintermoon13 chapter 1 . 1/14/2011 WELL I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU MY DEAR ELIZABETH BUT I OFTEN FEEL LIKE A PLASTIC BAG DRIFTING THROUGH THE WIND. OOOOOH YEAH. :D XD But anyways, yes, it is I, me, here, reading your story. ABEL! This is super funny. XDDD I really like that part of it. I just have two things to pick on right now, since I'm such a good friend. XD (JK) 1. Remember to put spaces in between your sentences, you silly goose! &2. Try to finish your sentences, please. I've found that in your writing you usually start a sentence and then immediately switch to saying something else entirely. So please try to work on that..._ AND YEP THAT'S ALL. See ya on Tuesday!

He would not divulge the details of his conversation with Simon Mannering, but Elijah Taylor said a heart-to-heart chat with his former skipper helped reassure him he was making the right decision joining the Panthers.
After agreeing to terms with Penrith at the start of last season, Taylor told his Warriors teammates individually of his decision to move on. But it is his conversation with Mannering, one that he was reluctant to open up about, that stood out the most to Taylor.
"I can't really talk about that," Taylor said of his chat with the Warriors captain. "He wasn't filthy, no way. It was a good conversation. It sat well with me, Simon's one of the strongest players I know. I'd follow him anywhere, he's a great leader. Me and Simon are really tight, we talked about a few things and yeah. He was supportive, 100 per cent. He would support any decision the boys make, he's just that type of guy. I've got so much respect for him.
"I remember telling the boys and they were very supportive. I told them all individually at the start of the year and they all wished me well. I have got a lot of good friends in that team and a lot of brothers in that team. There's a tight culture over there and I left on good terms."
After signing with Penrith to reunite with his old coach Ivan Cleary, the Warriors urged Taylor to reconsider his decision before the round-13 deadline.
"They asked me to reconsider but you can't turn your back on contracts," Taylor said. "Your name just turns to mud if you do that."
One of Taylor's closest friends at the Warriors was hooker Nathan Friend. In just two years the pair forged a close relationship that Taylor insists taught him a valuable lesson about the way to approach the game.
"Nathan Friend, he taught me a lot," Taylor said. "He's a very good player and he's very professional. You want to learn off those players. Two years I was there with him. Just his work ethic. He's one of the smallest blokes on the field but he'd always top the tackle count. If there was a breakaway try you'd always see Friendy chasing after him.
"He's a selfless player. He's all for the team and he's great to learn off. I certainly learnt a lot off him. There might be a bit of banter during the week but he's a man of few words who backs it up with his actions on the field."
With former teammates Lewis Brown and Isaac John as well as fellow Kiwis Sam McKendry, Dean Whare and Sika Manu all at the Panthers, Taylor said the transition had been smooth.
"It's good to know you're going to place where you know people," he said. "It would be a bit different if I didn't know anyone. I'm very happy with the decision and have made some great friends. There are some characters in this team who are very funny.
"I've played some test matches with some of the boys, you build strong relationships on tours. They're great blokes, good players as well and good friendships.
Taylor also has a close relationship with Cleary who, despite matching up against his former club, hasn't shown any indication of it being anything other than just another game of football.
"Ivan never changes, he'll always be the same," Taylor said. "I've never seen him flustered. He's exactly the same this week as he would be any other week."

What Coke Can Teach McDonald's About Love

Holiday Advertising from Coca-Cola
December 19, 2013
As we all know, any retail brand that doesn't get on board with holiday advertising is missing out. A lagging year of sales can be more than made up for within the last couple of months with a successful holiday campaign. Since the 1920s, The Coca-Cola Company has been doing just that.
Shifting Tastes and Fizzling Sales for Coke: Listen Up!
August 24, 2013
Social forensics and listening practice aside, Coca-Cola has recently received a clear message of souring consumer tastes as sales of Diet Coke fell for the second consecutive year on the heels of a second quarterly drop in global sales. Reflecting a trend in consumer thirst and ideas about health, overall sales of diet sodas have fallen more than sales of beverages containing sugar.
Coke's Fantastic Social "Un-commercial" Rewards Honesty
December 07, 2011
Coca-Cola Portugal conducted social experiment last month in the city of Lisbon. They planted a wallet in a busy shopping center with a hidden camera. Sticking out of the wallet was a ticket to the biggest soccer match of the year--impossible to get! How many people took the ticket? Or the money in the wallet? The answer is 95% turned in the wallet--with the money and the ticket intact. The whole story is told in this three minute video, and in it's entirety it's a fun, feel good story totally aligned with Coke's brand values.

A man's best friend
We immediately exchanged the condensed versions of our lives since high school and laughed about the good old days, reflecting on parties we went to and the many sleepovers we organized.
Then she started to fumble through her purse, and I knew what was coming next - wallet-sized versions of her children.
"This is my oldest, she just made 5. Oh, and here's a picture of my little one, he's almost a year old now," she said pointing to the photo of a chubby baby with rosy cheeks.
So, in return, I pulled out my wallet and showed her a snapshot of my little one - my 6-year-old black and grey American longhair cat named Pootie.
The expression on mu friends face went blank. She looked confused. Then she started laughing.
"You carry a picture of your cat in your wallet?" she asked. "Yes," I replied.
My long-lost friend couldn't seem to grasp the idea of someone loving her pet so much that she would carry a picture with them at all times - like many people do with photos of their children, and I couldn't figure out why she thought it was so odd.
Maybe it's because I come from a long line of animal lovers, but I treat my cat like he is a child.
Think about it - you do many of the same things with pets that you do with children.
You take them to the doctor to get their first shots, and also when they are sick.
You feed, bathe and play with them. You discipline them when they won't listen and give them treats when they are good.
You dress them up in cute clothes and protect them from harm.
So, what's wrong with carrying a picture of your dog or cat in your wallet?
After all, isnt a dog a mans best friend?
My cat is the first one to greet me when I come home in the evening and he curls up in my lap when I am upset.
In my eyes, that makes for a pretty close comparison, and I couldn't imagine my life without the little guy.
And one day when I have children, I'll make room in my wallet for their picture, too.

Sorry, this item sold. Have classicwrecks make something just for you, or try these other items:
Here is the Ford Starliner 1960 model car. It has a two tone paint job with blue hood and trunk lid. It has the iconic rear window which was called the bubble top in its day. The car has custom wheels and tires which are distressed. The interior of the car is a mess with lots of dirt and a shredded hanging down headliner. The engine has lots of wires and detail and dirt if course. The wiper blades are stuck or broken and it has the coat hanger wire antenna. the chassis is very messy and the trunk has been opened with a spare tire and rust holes.
