SAINTS-MIRACLES Apr-24-2014 (680 words) With photos. xxxi
Women recount the stories of healing through intercession of popes
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- People said Floribeth Mora Diaz was crazy to think Blessed John Paul II interceded with God to heal her brain aneurysm, but if so, "then it is a blessed craziness, because I'm healthy," she told reporters at the Vatican.
The 50-year-old Costa Rican woman spoke at a news conference April 24, just three days before she would participate in the Mass for the canonization of Blessed John Paul; Pope Francis accepted her healing as the miracle needed for the late pope's canonization.

At the same news conference, Daughter of Charity Sister Adele Labianca gave her eyewitness account of the healing of Sister Caterina Capitani, the nun whose healing in 1966 was accepted as the miracle needed for the beatification of Blessed John XXIII. Pope Francis waived the requirement of another miracle for his canonization.
Even though both women have told their stories hundreds of times, they were emotional before an international gathering of reporters at the Vatican. Sister Labianca said she had to read her testimony from a prepared text because she was certain she would forget something. Mora Diaz simply let her voice tremble.
The Costa Rican woman, who traveled to the Vatican with her husband and four children, told about having a severe headache in April 2011, going to the doctor and being told she had a brain aneurysm. The doctors in Costa Rica said surgery might be able to help, but she would have to go to Mexico or Cuba for the operation, and she did not have the money.
The local doctors could do nothing more for her, so they sent her home, "telling me I had only a month to live." She began crying as she talked about her husband trying to prepare their children for their mother's death and urging them to pray.
Mora Diaz said she had long had a devotion to Pope John Paul and watched his beatification May 1, 2011, "and then I fell asleep." A few hours later, she heard the late pope's voice, "Rise! ... Do not be afraid." She said, "I had a peace, a peace that assured me I was healed."
Still, she said, she and her husband did not have the money to pay for more tests to verify the healing, but eventually her doctor did an MRI. "He was shocked," she said. "My husband wondered why he wasn't saying anything and I said, 'because I've been healed through the intercession of John Paul II.'"
The doctor's reaction was important, she said, "because I wasn't the only one saying I was healed, but there were doctors, who were very serious, saying so."
Sister Labianca, who spoke about the miracle accepted for Pope John's beatification, worked in an Italian pediatric hospital with Sister Capitani in 1963 when, for the first time, she had a gastric hemorrhage in the middle of the night. "She panicked and woke me up."
After months of treatment, doctors removed most of her stomach, which was covered with tumors, and her entire spleen and pancreas. At first she improved, but then she developed an external fistula, which leaked, Sister Labianca said. She was on the point of death May 22, 1966, when the assistant provincial of the Daughters of Charity brought her a relic, reportedly a piece of Pope John's bed sheet.
"She put it on her wound in the hope that the Lord would come with his mercy and his love," Sister Labianca said. "Suddenly, Sister Caterina woke from her stupor and no longer felt any pain," instead she felt a hand on her wound and heard a voice calling, "Sister Caterina!"
"Frightened to hear a man's voice" in her room, she turned and saw Pope John standing by her bed. He told her she was fine, and she went to tell the other sisters that she was healed and hungry, Sister Labianca said.
With the acceptance of her healing as a miracle, Pope John Paul beatified Pope John in 2001, and Sister Capitani was there. She died in 2010, more than 43 years after she was healed.

Hilary Duff is finally coming back to TV!
Duff is set to make her return to acting, after having baby boy Luca with husband Mike Comrie, on an upcoming episode of Fox's hit comedy Raising Hope, we've exclusively learned.
And what a part she chose to make her return to TV with—she's playing Jimmy's (Lucas Neff) ex-girlfriend who arrives in town just after he marries Sabrina (Shannon Woodward)!
Duff signed an overall TV deal with Fox back in August
In the comedy's Feb. 26 episode "The Old Girl," Duff will play Rachel, Jimmy's ex who comes back into his life when Sabrina unknowingly befriends her. Awkward alert! But don't worry too much, Jimmy and Sabrina fans: Duff is only set to appear in one episode and your favorite couple's marriage (which takes place in the Jan. 29 episode) will not be shaken by Rachel's reappearance. Phew!
In August, Duff closed a deal to star and produce in an upcoming television series for 20th Century Fox. "Ok it's official! Very excited about my development deal with 20th century fox!! t.v. here I come! :)," she tweeted at the time.
Prior to her gig on Raising Hope, Duff made memorable guest appearances on Community and Gossip Girl.
Raising Hope airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Fox.
Are you excited to see Hilary Duff on your small screen again? Let us know in the comments!

For The Love Of Snow
March 1, 2013 1:58 PM
My dog Lisen and I have been on quite a few walks in the snowy weather here in Karlskrona in Sweden the past few weeks. And because I Iove to photograph I have taken quite a few photos during these walks. So in this post I thought I would share some of those snowy photos, I give you - For The Love Of Snow.
On a snowy walk along Lyckeby River.
Lisen and I love to walk here, we usually walk on the other side of the river though.
Hm, those tracks look interesting.
Our walk continued.
In among a residential area in Lyckeby.
Row-houses in Lyckeby.
More houses.
On another snowy walk, here Lisen and I were in the Rodeby forest.
Where Lisen decided to take a snow bath.
On this snowy, but very nice day, walk we stopped by the Lycka Castle Ruin.
Where Lisen got in the mood to play. :p
On a mission.
Come on, you know what I want.
Yupp, Lisen wanted to carry her leash - as usual. Hehe.
Now although I do love snow, not nearly as much as Lisen though, I do look forward to spring with its lovely colours, brightness and warmth. So hopefully it will not be too long until she arrives again. But until she does, Lisen and I will simply continue to enjoy our snowy walks. Because, although we have had a few sunny, lovely days here lately, it does seem like the snow will linger on a little while longer.

The Snowflake Symphony
February 20, 2013 1:22 PM
The snow keeps on coming down here in Lyckeby in Sweden. And all winter I have been trying to get some good photos of individual snowflakes, which has not been very easy in my world, but this morning I think I finally got a few good ones. Again, as I did when I spotted the deer a few weeks ago, I just happened to glance out of my window when I noticed some snowflakes caught in spider web. I immediately grabbed my camera and started to shoot. Below are the results; The Snowflake Symphony.

Happy Doggies Playing In The Snow
December 20, 2012 2:49 PM
Last week my dog Lisen and her daughter Diva (my sister's dog) decided to play around in the snow together for a little while. I always love to watch them play together, though Lisen (who turns 12 in March) is rarely in the mood to play with Diva (7 years old) nowadays. I think she thinks Diva is a bit to wild for her now. Hehe. Because Lisen likes to play, but in slow motion and very carefully - the opposite of how Diva likes to play. So when Lisen decided to actually accept Diva's play invitation in the forest last week, I think Diva was as surprised (but very happy) as I was. :-)
Below are some pics I snapped of them playing in the snow together.
Play time!
Let's see what we can find then.
Searching for something fun to play with in the snow.
Found it!
A stick that is stuck of course, what could possibly be more fun to play with than that?
Whaoo! I won (Lisen).
Diva running around in the snow.
Lisen, relaxing in the snow.
Until she realizes she has some snowballs stuck between her paws...
Coming Ma.

A Perfect Snowy Advent Premiere In Lyckeby
December 2, 2012 7:02 PM
It is now officially winter here in Lyckeby in Sweden! Because yesterday evening snow began to fall over Lyckeby, which resulted in me waking up this morning to a crispy, cold and snowy white view over Ekebacken Nature Reserve from my window. And the snow could not have arrived more perfectly, just in time to make this first Advent Sunday of four before Christmas feel extra Christmas like. In other words, Lisen and I had A Perfect Snowy Advent Premiere here in Lyckeby today.
And below are some pics from our first walk in the snow this morning.
View from my window.
Outside walking in the snow.
Lisen sniffing away in the snow.
And in the air.
Snow Dog. :p
More sniffing.
Let's moooove!
Ekebacken Nature Reserve.
Enjoying the snow fall.
The walk continues.
Fa la la la la - la la la la... :-)
Come on Alex.
Pretty branches.
The only thing Lisen finds annoying about the snow...
... is that it forms small snowballs between her paws, which she has to stop and try to gnaw away.
Lisen and I on the lookout...
... until Lisen remembers that with Advent and Christmas comes a lot of yummy Christmas treats and presents. Yuuum!!!
Which is true, December is definitely a fun and delicious month in Sweden indeed. So here's to the start of this year's Advent season, to a great start to this year's Christmas season and to a fabulous snowy December month! Happy First Advent Everyone!

Trying To Catch Up
February 16, 2012 1:33 PM
It feels like I am still trying to catch up with things from when I got back from my vacation in January. The main reason I am so behind with everything is because I have been working 10-12 hours almost every day since January 20th. There have been some changes at the company I work for so I have been asked to do other things than before, hence more work. However I am very grateful for that and I do hope I continue to get more work. Although it does feel weird not to be able to spend as much time in the Blogosphere as I am used to.
But, I, my blog and dog Lisen are not going anywhere. We are just in a more random post period right now. I truly appreciate all comments and feedback as always and will catch up with it all as soon as I get a bit longer breather than a few hours, which I think will be after this weekend.
Now while I have been swamped with work, a lot more snow has fallen outside. Which I love! Because with the snow comes a sense of calmness and light I feel , something very well needed at the moment. And because I work from home the only breaks I really get is when I take my dog Lisen out on walks, which is also the only time I have had lately with an opportunity to take some photos. So below are some recent photos of my neighbourhood here in Lyckeby in Sweden. :-)
The first thing my dog Lisen and I see when we come down the little hill from my apartment building.
Always extra fun to sniff in the snow it seems.
Snow in Lyckeby.
And it is on mornings like these I am very grateful my car is in a garage. :-)

Me and Lisen walking 6K in blizzard
January 7, 2011 1:38 AM
I had decided that me and Lisen were going to walk home after our visit with my sister yesterday. A walk of 6 kilometres, no problem. Except that I did not expect it to be windy and snowy! I probably should have checked the weather forecast beforehand... Oh well, I was not about to let some weather conditions interrupt my plan. Especially since I just downed a pizza, hehe. So away we went.
And here are some pics of our walk. :-)
Left top pic:
That's the road to town, takes about 15 minutes to walk from here (Galgamarken). But Lyckeby is the opposite way though, 6Ks away... In the
right top pic
: Lisen telling me to hurry!
Below left pic
: This is the road to Lyckeby. Behind me is Galgamarken, where we started our walk, and on the other side of the road is a cemetery. The buildings even further away, behind the cemetery, is our hospital. And in the
below right pic
: Lisen probably thinking that we have a long way to go...
I'm forcing Lisen to sit and be a nice doggy, haha. My goal here is to take at least one nice pic of us, but she just wants to check out our surroundings all the time. Don't know what could possibly be more fun than posing for the camera, haha.
Come ooon!!!
Top pic:
At last she gets to walk in her own pace.
Bottom pic:
Although not completely her own pace. Because she still stops and waits for me whenever I stop. And I can see how she just wants to scream "Let's goooooooooo Alex!" every time. Haha!
In the end our walk took about 90 minutes. And when we finally got home, we were both pretty wet and tired!

White Christmas
December 23, 2010 11:57 AM
I can't believe it's actually Christmas Eve tomorrow! It feels weird. Like I'm about one week behind. Oh well, no matter how I twist and turn it's still December 24th tomorrow, hehe. So, I'd better get with the programme. And I can't even describe how much I look forward to all the food!!! Yuuuummy! However I still have some gift shopping to do...yikes! And besides that I have to clean, both my apartment and dog. So today is going to be a busy day for me.
But before I get started, me and Lisen want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Here is Lisen on our morning walk today. It has been snowing heavily during the night and will continue to do so today and tomorrow. We are supposed to get about 30 more! centimeters of snow. So we will definitely have a white Christmas in Karlskrona this year.

Fun in the forest
December 4, 2010 4:21 PM
We (me, my sister and dogs) finally managed to take a walk in our lovely forest of Rödeby yesterday. It was probably two weeks since we went for a real forest walk with both Lisen and Diva. We made plans several times to go, but each time something came up and we had to cancel. But yesterday away we went. And I don't even have to tell you how happy our dogs were to see their precious forest again (just check out the pics below, hihi). The fact that the forest was filled with snow up to their stomachs, only made it more fun :-p
Pics from yesterday.
We were a tired bunch afterwards, dogs and humans! :-)

Winter wonderland, and dog
December 1, 2010 5:18 PM
Snow, snow, snow and...yes that's right - more snow! It just keeps on coming. So I thought I'd share some pics of Lyckeby covered in snow, and Lisen covered in snow :-) Not that Lisen mind the snow. Well, she does not like it when she get cramps in her legs or when snowballs get stuck under her paws, but besides that, she enjoys the snow.
Because Lisen has the dog breed New foundland in her, who originally lived in cold weather, her fur is adapted to withstand cold temperatures. And the main reason she has a jacket on is because last year we found out that she has a bit of plaque between some of her vertebras. Therefore our Vet suggested I put a jacket on her to insure she stays warm, which helps prevent her from getting inflammation in her back. But when she was younger she use to love jumping in the ice cold water and swim. And when she got up, her fur use to freeze into ice. Brrr!
Here are the pics.
Cold yet ;-)

Footsteps in the snow
November 26, 2010 6:19 PM
This is something I love about snow, I can so clearly see where all wild animals have wandered. Usually when Lisen is sniffing around and pulling me in all kind of directions, I have no idea why. Now I can see why :-) Not that that makes her sniffing marathons more enjoyable for me though, LOL!
In the pics above are some footsteps we have encountered yesterday and today. And then one pic of Lisen shaking her booty, lol! I just had to post that one :-p

Late night walk in snow storm
November 24, 2010 0:12 AM
The first snow has officially landed in Lyckeby, Karlskrona. And not in a soft, calm manner. But with the forces of strong winds and freezing cold. It is now winter... Unfortunately for me I have not yet changed my summer tires to winter tires, so no driving tomorrow. Oh well, when the snow has settled, it is actually quite nice :-) Maybe I'll throw some snowballs at Lisen tomorrow, lol!
New feature
I have added a new comment feature, you can now comment on each post. I still have my cbox a bit further down. I would love to know what you think about this way of commenting. It's probably how it works on most blogs. I just don't like that you have to be moved to another page for it to work...But maybe it's better than just a cbox?

One piece swimsuits are in again. Here are some of our favourites
As we're preparing to get our bodies beach ready for summer after the Christmas indulgence, it will be welcome news that the fashion folk at the New York Post have decided that bikinis are out and one piece swimsuits are in.
This is partly to do with the resurgence of the 1950s pin-up in today's fashion, but also because we've been seeing more curvaceous ladies, such as Christina Hendricks and Kim Kardashian, grabbing the spotlight.
Even though it's still January and we're many months – and pounds – away from long summer days on the beach, we've had a look at what is on offer on the online high street. Just in case you're planning a mid winter trip abroad to sunnier places or want something to focus on while you hit the treadmill.

Windows 8 Support ETA Please
Windows 8 has been available to corporate customers since August. How much longer do we need to wait to get Win8 support for DLO?
Am I the only one that finds this delay unacceptable?
Comentarios Comentarios • Ir al último comentario
No Official Announcement Yet..
You can contect to Symantec customer
Thanks In Advance
Ashish Sharma
So lets go back to the question. What is the ETA for DLO support for Windows8? I am painfully aware that 7.0 does not support it.
We are also all aware that DLO 7.5 will support it.
So I ask again, when is the expected release of DLO 7.5? Please, just a real answer, preferably a specific month. This lack of support has stopped purchasing and deployment of new ultrabooks.
We are now on the 6th month since Win8 was put into businesses hands that have volume licensing with Microsoft. 6 months and still not a word from Symantec. I suspect most people who use DLO as also on some sort of MS agreement.
How is this considered appropriate business support?
We recently upgraded all of our desktops and laptops to units running Windows 8. I had no idea that Win 8 was not supported, and given that it's been available for months, I was surprised to discover this.
Considering that pre-release versions of Windows 8 were available to Symantec developers way before its release to the public, it's really inexcusable that they haven't come up with something by now.
We are now without the ability to centrally back up our client computers. Thanks, Symantec!
The product page state that windows 8 and windows 2012 is supported
unfortunately, only reading fact sheet FAQ, you'll learn that they're speaking of Version 7.5 that will be released half 2013
I can't believe it ...
And probably Windows 8 users maybe users does not know a built in feature of windows 8, File History.
This is a very similar Desktop and Laptop Option (even if not centralized) and with less options but it can do a great job too, to backup user data.
If Symantec does not speed up the process of Desktop and laptop option upgrade, i think that small/mid business company may move to this "free" available feature of win 8 , i/o buyng Desktop and Laptop option.
I suggest everyone to have a look at it-
...if DLO follows Backup Exec's release date for these 2 OS's, then the Beta starts end May 2013.
Once the Beta completes, there should be support...maybe ask the exact same question at the BE 2012 R2 Beta page on the link below:
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Symantec DLO 7.5 is now available. The new features in Symantec DLO 7.5 include:
- Global source-side data deduplication
- Support for Windows® 8
- Support for Windows® Server 2012
- 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standards (AES) encryption
- Support for Lotus notes 8.5.3

The budgets going to be cut more next year, no way the WH wants to appear to not be able to handle doing things with less. Besides if the WH believed the the security arrangements where less than "adequate", the executive branch can send in anywhere they want as last year shows...instead of calling it kinetic military action in Libya last year call it non-kinetic military action, war on terror or whatever it was called when he decided to send 100 troops into Uganda to fight rebels,etc...without Congressional approval.

Arreola ends Mitchell's night (very) early
I wrote in my preview post for this fight that this fight was a fight worth watching. I was right, but I did not think there would be so little to see. The fight lasted all of two and half minutes. Mitchell just couldn't handle Arreola's combinations and was wobbled early. Roughly a minute later […] [Read More]

We came up with a cool little concept together. Bounding her hands, putting electrical tape on her giant nipples and shooting her right on the garage floor. Joslyn stepped up to the plate this day sucking the fucking jizz right out of this studs cock! Go Joslyn you sexy slut!

First, some bold claims to fame. This Megane Trophy is the fastest road-going Renault ever. And on the day we drove it, it became the quickest front-drive car around the Nürburgring, with a time of eight minutes, 7.97secs. If you're bored by the never-ending story of rapid 'Ring laps, consider the following. This £27k Renault posts a faster time than a Viper GTS and a Diablo SV. And a KTM X-Bow.
It also smashes the previous front-drive record set by the vertically arsed Megane R26.R by nearly 10 seconds. But where that had plastic windows and a roll cage, the Trophy has regular glass and room in the back for brave mates. It is not stripped of luxuries, nor is it horribly uncomfortable. All that's mechanically different from a standard 250 Cup is an extra 15bhp and 15lb ft of torque - thank a boostier turbo - plus some gummier tyres.
So there's a bit more grip and go. Top speed is nudged up by 2mph to 158mph, and 0-62mph falls by a tenth to six seconds dead. The lap time shows that, and proves what a really good set of tyres can do, but on real roads, you'd need a bionic connection to really feel the difference between this and a standard car, as the performance gain is more scientific than sensory. Importantly, nothing has been ruined. The new rubber doesn't provoke more torque steer, and it doesn't ride rougher or hum louder.
What we have here is a great car made slightly greater. It's £600 more than the current top-spec RS, but that doesn't just buy extra performance. It buys Trophy decals, new alloys - black with a red rim - and special paint (go for the Liquid Yellow - its lacquer is deeper and more expensive to produce than the black). You also get access to all RenaultSport trackdays, which would actually cost more than 600 quid if you went to them all.
Why, then, didn't the RS have this all along? It's part of the business plan. A fully hardcore and roll-caged version is a way off, if it happens at all, but there is a 'phase two' model due next year. This one's supposed to pique interest until then. But there's a rumour, not denied by the boss of RenaultSport, that this engine could be standard in the face-lifted car - it's been in development for a year, which seems excessive for one fast lap and a limited run of 500 cars.
Just 50 of those are coming to Britain. But if you're not on the waiting list, here's some advice. Forget the extra power, because it's only part of the story. Then pop into a tyremonger and ask for some Bridgestone RE050As. Affix them to the 19-inch alloys on a regular Megane Cup. Watch your lap times tumble.
Dan Read
We like: A bit more grip and power
We don't like: Not really feeling the difference
The verdict: A power tweak plus stickier tyres make a good hot hatch slighter hotter
Performance: 0-62mph in 6.0secs, max 158mph, 34.4mpg
Tech: 1998cc, 4cyl, FWD, 265bhp, 265lb ft, 1387kg, 190g/km CO2
Tick this on the options list: Liquid Yellow paint, £free

As the City Manager for a city of nearly 10,000 residents in Texas, I recently had the opportunity to attend resident training at FEMA's Center for Domestic Preparedness, in Anniston, Ala. The city has benefited from CDP training for several years as we've been encouraging members from our emergency response departments to enroll in training at the facility, and I wanted to attend a course there as well.
As city manager, I have specific roles related to the overall oversight of municipal operations within the city. However, I am also active with emergency management, serving on Hillsboro's Type 3 Incident Management Team as its incident commander, as well as serving as a liaison officer for the Type 1 Southern Area Incident Management Blue Team. The CDP training, without a doubt, makes a difference in the leadership decisions I make-- whether in the office, or in an emergency management situation.
Last week, I attended the Instructor Training Certification course. ITC allows me the ability to remain flexible and save the city money. Many of us have the ability to present courses, but ITC ensures those receiving specific training learn from certified instructors.
The City of Hillsboro also wins because we now have the capability to train locally, and save money from travel expenses. But, when resident training is necessary, I appreciate the fact FEMA provides the opportunity to receive CDP training, at no cost to the jurisdiction. The training is fully funded for state, local, and tribal employees. This type of funding is greatly appreciated, and a huge bonus for Hillsboro and Texas.
I recommend that elected, appointed, and senior employees of government take this training for a better understanding of what it is their first responders do, as well as show them the benefits of CDP training. I feel more prepared, and I believe it all starts at the top. If senior management places priority in certain areas then so will the entire organization.
Emergency management, planning and preparedness, is very important. The more prepared Hillsboro can be for any type of incident, the better off we all will be. I am better prepared thanks to my CDP training, and encourage more government leadership to attend the wonderful training environment that is the Center for Domestic Preparedness. Thanks CDP and FEMA!

A PROBE funded by commercial investors will visit an asteroid within three years. That, at least, is the claim of Colorado software mogul James William Benson, who is planning a $50 million space mission.
Benson and his backers aim to recoup their investment by selling scientific results to NASA and other space agencies. But they also intend to stake their claim to the asteroid, and mine it for minerals when the technology becomes available. "We're going to see a revolution in entrepreneurial space development," Benson claims.
Benson is the founder of three companies that design software to manage documents and search text. His new company, called SpaceDev, is being advised by James Arnold, a geochemist at the University of California, San Diego, and a veteran of NASA's Apollo project. The probe will feature a camera plus a neutron spectrometer to detect water vapour escaping from the asteroid. A ...

Finding your selling rhythm
By SteveLewit
United Advisors
One wouldn't think that selling has anything to do with rhythm, but it does. And why not? Rhythm is important in virtually every other part of life. In sports, boxers, pitchers, tennis players, golfers and quarterbacks all need rhythm to excel. In music, rhythm is, of course, essential. A good public speaker has rhythm in his or her speech; great actors have unique rhythms in their voices; and nature is full of rhythm — the seasons, the rising and setting of the sun, the phases of the moon, the tides of the ocean and so on.
If rhythm affects almost everything else, why not selling?
Here are the elements of selling rhythm that I find important for me. When these rhythms get out of sync, my selling suffers.
1. Meeting time rhythm
Each meeting I have with a client has a time range associated with it. When I go beyond those ranges, my selling suffers. For example, my first meetings take an hour to an hour and a quarter. If I lose focus during the meeting, go off on tangents or if I let my clients take control of the meeting somehow, my meeting starts to run long. I have found that the longer meetings are not nearly as productive as my more rhythmic meetings and I make fewer sales with these clients.
2. Speaking rhythm
I adjust the rhythm of my voice based on the rhythm of my client's speech pattern. If they are quick, I tend to be quick; if they are soft, I, too, am soft. Matching speaking rhythm allows clients to hear better, as they are used to their own speech pattern. When I lose my speaking rhythm when speaking with clients, I find that communication suffers; my clients just don't hear me as clearly as they do when I do a good job of creating a rhythm that they are comfortable with.
3. Appointment rhythm
My selling cycle is three to five appointments. I tell my clients, right at the first meeting, that I work a week at a time, and that if we don't have regular meetings, we'll always feel like we're starting over each time we meet. If they are going on vacation, we begin when they come back. If they don't agree to meet regularly, I often disqualify them as clients. If they keep missing meetings, the upset in appointment rhythm often upsets the sale.
Often, I ask my clients to book two appointments in a row, just to be sure we stay in the appointment rhythm.
4. Content rhythm
I use a selling system, meaning each part of the sale is the same all the time, just like FedEx is a system — you put your package in the bin and it appears at the right time and place all over the world. In the same way, I have to put my client into each section of my system in order to get what I want at the end of the sale: a clear decision, yes or no. I find it's imperative to watch the time I spend in each compartment of my system and keep my clients moving forward. I have found that if I get caught in one compartment with my client, thereby losing the flow of the meeting, the meeting begins to stagnate and lose energy. Moreover, I find that if I let my clients dictate the rhythm of the meeting, they begin to get too comfortable and are able to think of stalls, or how to hide on me, or different strategies they have used in the past on traditional sales professionals. If I keep my clients in my rhythm, they keep moving and are always more honest and straight with me.
5. The rhythm of changing rhythm
Top professionals are always changing rhythm in order to keep their opponents off balance. I do the same in my selling. Sure, I want my clients to be comfortable, but I also want them a little off balance. So I will consciously change my speech pattern from matching theirs, change my volume, use different visuals and sometimes even interrupt my clients while they are speaking. (Yes, I said that. And it's OK). Once off balance, clients can't get into their traditional selling defenses and, as I talked about above, they become more honest with me and talk to me as an adult rather than as a salesperson. If I do the same we develop a whole new dimension of selling, where we are talking adult to adult and selling or being sold isn't an issue.
Rhythm infuses every part of our lives and our selling. The question is, "Are you following them?" If not, and your sales meetings are groaning along day after day, you and your clients are losing a great opportunity. The next time you speak, put some rhythmic moves on the table and break out of your old patterns. If you do, pretty soon you will have enough rhythm going that you will be dancing all the way to the bank.

After Doha: rejecting dystopia by default
We need to challenge the security industries and military that are thriving on the fear and insecurity created by our governments' inaction on climate change.
The world's political leaders couldn't say they hadn't been warned. In the run up to the UN climate negotiations in early December in Qatar, it wasn't just the World Bank, the International Energy Agency, global accounting firm PWC predicting dangerous levels of climate change. Even nature appeared to sound alarm bells with unseasonal hurricanes devastating New York and islands in the Caribbean and the Philippines. Faced with this chorus, you might have expected a response from the world's governments. Instead the UN summit passed almost unnoticed by the international media and the result was another empty declaration, described by Friends of the Earth as a "sham of a deal" that "fails on every count."
Confronted with one of the greatest challenges our planet and its peoples have faced, our political leaders have clearly failed us. In stark contrast to the radical coordinated action to bail out banks and prop-up the financial system, governments have instead chosen to step aside, giving a free hand to the markets and the fossil fuel giants, rather than daring a carefully planned conversion of our carbon-based economies.
Their choice is not one of inaction, as is often suggested, but one of actively ensuring dangerous climate change. For every coal plant built in China, oil field mined in the Arctic, or shale gas field fracked in the US locks in carbon into the atmosphere for up to 1000 years and means that even radical steps to decarbonise in future years may not be sufficient to prevent runaway global warming.
The President of the World Bank, Dr Jim Yong Kim said their report's predicted rise in temperatures of 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit before the end of the century would create a world that was "very frightening."
For the first time, the issue of how to pay for the 'loss and damage' that climate change is already causing for the poorest and most vulnerable people worldwide took centre stage at Doha. It is a tragic irony that discussions about stopping or preparing for global climate change (known as mitigation and adaptation in UN language) have now been upstaged by demands for reparations and growing concern, not least in the insurance industry, about who or what is going to pay for the damage inflicted by climate change.
These narratives are deeply distressing and dis-empowering. It is now much easier for people to imagine a dystopian future for their children than a world that has pulled together to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Far from prompting mass action, fear and insecurity is apparently prompting people to turn off and tune out in droves, or to seek solace in conspiracy theories.
Securing what for whom?
This apathy is being exploited by those who welcome – or at the very least are looking to profit from – the politics of insecurity and what the Pentagon has dubbed "the age of consequences." Across the world and often behind closed doors, securocrats and military strategists are engaging in 'foresight' exercises that – unlike their political masters – take climate change for granted and develop options and strategies to adapt to the risks and opportunities it presents.
Only a month before the Doha climate negotiations, the US National Academy of Sciences released a report commissioned by the CIA that sought to "evaluate the evidence on possible connections between climate change and U.S. national security concerns." The study concluded that it would be "prudent for security analysts to expect climate surprises in the coming decade, including unexpected and potentially disruptive single events as well as conjunctions of events occurring simultaneously or in sequence, and for them to become progressively more serious and more frequent thereafter, most likely at an accelerating rate".
What are the consequences of framing climate change as a security issue rather than a justice or human rights one?
The military and the intelligence community's willingness to take climate change seriously has been often uncritically welcomed by some in the environmental community; the agencies themselves say they are just doing their job. The question very few people are asking is: what are the consequences of framing climate change as a security issue rather than a justice or human rights one?
In a world already demeaned by concepts like 'collateral damage', participants in these new climate war games need not speak candidly about what they envisage, but the subtext to their discourse is always the same: how can states in the industrialised North – at a time of increasing potential scarcity and, it is assumed, unrest – secure themselves from the 'threat' of climate refugees, resource wars and failed states, while maintaining control of key strategic resources and supply chains. In the words of the proposed EU Climate Change and International Security strategy, for example, climate change is "best viewed as a threat multiplier" which carries "political and security risks that directly affect European interests".
Profiting from fear
The industries that thrive off the ugly realpolitics of international security are also preparing for climate change. In 2011, a defence industry conference suggested that the energy and environmental market was worth at least eight times their own trillion-dollar-a-year trade. "Far from being excluded from this opportunity, the aerospace, defence and security sector is gearing up to address what looks set to become its most significant adjacent market since the strong emergence of the civil/homeland security business almost a decade ago," it suggested.
Some of these investments may prove welcome and important, but the climate security discourse is also helping fuel the investment boom in high-tech border-control systems, crowd-control technologies, next generation offensive weapons systems (like drones) and less-lethal weapons. It should be inconceivable that democratic states are equipping themselves in this way for a climate-changed world , but every year a few more applications are piloted, and a few more hit the market. Looking at the consolidation of militarised borders across the world over the past decade, you wouldn't want to be a climate refugee in 2012, never mind 2050.
It is not just the coercive industries that are positioning themselves to profit from fears about the future. The commodities upon which life depends are being woven into new security narratives based on fears about scarcity, overpopulation and inequality. Increasing importance is attached to 'food security', 'energy security', 'water security' and so on, with little analysis of exactly what is being secured for whom, and at whose expense? But when perceived food insecurity in South Korea and Saudi Arabia is fuelling land grabs and exploitation in Africa, and rising food prices are causing widespread social unrest, alarm bells should be ringing.
The climate security discourse takes these outcomes for granted. It is predicated on winners and losers – the secure and the damned – and based on a vision of 'security' so warped by the 'war on terror' that it essentially envisages disposable people in place of the international solidarity so obviously required to face the future in a just and collaborative way.
The two-pronged struggle against climate change
To confront this ever creeping securitisation of our future, we must of course continue to fight to end our fossil fuel addiction as urgently as possible, joining movements like those fighting tar sands developments in North America and forming broad civic alliances that pressure towns, states and governments to transition their economies to a low-carbon footing. We can not stop climate change – it is already happening – but we can still prevent the worst effects.
We simply cannot afford to leave our future in the hands of the securocrats and corporations when difficult decisions have to be taken
However, we must also be prepared to reclaim the climate adaptation agenda from one based on acquisition through dispossession and the self-interested security agendas of the powerful to one based on universal human rights and the dignity of all people. We simply cannot afford to leave our future in the hands of the securocrats and corporations when difficult decisions have to be taken.
The recent experience of Hurricane Sandy, where the Occupy movement put the federal government to shame in their response to the crisis, shows the power of popular movements to respond positively to local disasters.
Yet local responses by themselves will not be enough. We need broader international strategies that check corporate and military power while globalising the tools for resilience. This means putting forward progressive solutions around food, water, energy and coping with extreme weather that provide viable alternatives to the market-based and security-obsessed approaches favoured by our governments.
Perhaps most importantly, we need to start packaging these ideas in positive visions for the future that will empower people to reject dystopia and reclaim a liveable just future for all.

Governors Ball: Kings of Leon rained out by Tropical Storm Andrea
Kings of Leon will play the Governors Ball festival in New York Saturday (June 8) after being rained out of their headlining slot the night prior. Drummer Nathan Followill tweeted the news that the band would play a rare pre-sundown set.
"Looks like I get 2 melt your faces after all," Followill writes. He later adds, "To say that I'm excited about tonight would be an understatement. First time in a long time that I'll see the sunshine while I'm playing ... Hell, I might even show a little more skin than normal. Beer me!"
Followill hasthagged that tweet, "#underweardrumming." Yeah, buddy.
Kings of Leon kicked off a string of summer festival dates with a performance at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival in Napa, Calif. last month, where they debuted a new song, "Always the Same."
Unlike BottleRock, which had attendees and performers like "Dad is Fat" author Jim Gaffigan frustrated by delays and disorganization -- Gaffigan tweeted that organizers delayed his set, then forgot to pick him up for the airport -- the folks at the Gov Ball NYC went out of their way to do right by festivalgoers by honoring Friday's single-day tickets again on Saturday. Kings frontman Jared Followill tweeted, "What about people with Friday only tickets? Friday tickets will get you in today too!!"
KoL is set to release their sixth studio album, "Mechanical Bull" Sept. 24. The first single will reportedly be "Super Soaker" -- no reference intended to the festival situation, obviously.

DESPITE making up 80 per cent of the universe, dark matter is maddeningly elusive. Now it is giving up a few secrets - although not its full identity.
Dark matter provides the gravity that stops galaxies from flying apart, but interacts so weakly with ordinary matter that it is unclear what it is. Now two separate analyses of gamma rays in space, some of which formed in dark-matter collisions, give a clue. They suggest that if dark matter is made up of particles, as leading theories suggest, these must be at least 44 times as heavy as protons. "This is the strongest limit to the mass that we have so far," says Savvas Koushiappas of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, part of one of the teams.
The studies, due to appear in Physical ...
