Crabby Old Lady - A Poem
This poem is floating around the Web here and there. According to some, it was found among the "meager possessions" of an old woman who died in the geriatric ward of a Dundee, Scotland hospital, and was later published in the News Magazine of the North Ireland Association for Mental Health.
That all may be apocryphal. I can't find any reference, except in relation to the poem, of the publication or its organization. Those who retrieved the poem did not record the woman's name nor is there a year attached, but that is not important. This is a cry from the heart, whoever wrote it, to not be made invisible in old age.
It would do us all well to remember this poem when we are frustrated by someone old moving too slowly in front of us and when we find ourselves with an older relative or friend whose mind is perhaps not as quick as it once was.
What do you see, nurses, what do you see,
what are you thinking when you're looking at me?
A crabby old woman, not very wise,
uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes.
Who dribbles her food and makes no reply
when you say in a loud voice, "I do wish you'd try!"
Who seems not to notice the things that you do,
and forever is losing a stocking or shoe.
Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will
with bathing and feeding, the long day to fill.
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse; you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
as I do at your bidding, as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother,
brothers and sisters, who love one another.
A young girl of sixteen, with wings on her feet,
dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet.
A bride soon at twenty - my heart gives a leap,
remembering the vows that I promised to keep.
At twenty-five now, I have young of my own
who need me to guide and a secure happy home.
A woman of thirty, my young now grown fast,
bound to each other with ties that should last.
At forty my young sons have grown and are gone,
but my man's beside me to see I don't mourn.
At fifty once more babies play round my knee,
again we know children, my loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead;
I look at the future, I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing young of their own,
and I think of the years and the love that I've known.
I'm now an old woman and nature is cruel;
'tis jest to make old age look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles, grace and vigor depart,
there is now a stone where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass a young girl still dwells,
and now and again my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys, I remember the pain,
and I'm loving and living life over again.
I think of the years - all too few, gone too fast
and accept the stark fact that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, nurses, open and see,
not a crabby old woman; look closer - see ME!

The truth pulls at the heart.
Thank you for sharing
A lesson we should all pay attention to. Reminds me of the Frank Sinatra song, "When I was 17", so melancholy. Sigh, it is an unstoppable train - life. It doesn't allow us much opportunity to stay very long in any one "station", no matter how much we would wish otherwise.
I've noticed myself paying more attention to the old women that I meet in my daily life now--more than ever since I am riding the bus, and I credit this heightened awareness, at least in part, to you, Ronni. I plan on being a very old lady myself someday, and it only makes good sense to start acknowledging the path that bring us all to that point. I can tell when I do catch someone's eye and offer a small smile, that she isn't used to being seen. Keep up the good work.
I just turned sixty and am now retired. I had a very difficult summer, as I underwent breast cancer surgery, and am in the process of finishing a six week radiation therapy. 'Crabby old lady' made me sob, which did me a lot of good. Thank you for posting it.
My mother of 93 recently passed away. She had to go into a nursing home 6 years prior to her death. This poem tugs hard at my heart. We lost her a long time ago due to Alzhimers. I wish she had been with us those last years.I did not get to say goodbye.
I recently saw a presentation of this poem at a workshop with adaptation to a crabby old man. It is still very moving because I have worked with the elderly in the same care center for the past 25 years. I first read a copy of this when I was 16 and had just started as a nursing assistant. I have been told by many coworkers, residents and family that I am a very caring nurse and I believe part of that is due to the effect of this poem on how I view others. thank you for keeping this poem available.
Reminds me of "marvelous" Marvel, my 97-year-old mother-in-law who passed away a year ago tomorrow (12-1). Thinking of her so much these past days, that it is heart-warming that I stumbled upon this oldie but a goodie.
Ciao, and thank you for sharing...
I think this poem tugs hard at my heart because it is right that when we are frustrated by someone old moving too slowly in front of us and when we find ourselves with an older relative or friend whose mind is perhaps not as quick as it once was.
Women's psycology has been derived in this poem in an agreed way,Eventually but suddenly,hardly but harshly hence i like it.
Old people are people too with feelings, hopes and dreams. Sometimes younger folks forget that fact.
My Pastor gave me a copy of this poem when I was A.D.O.N. at a LTC facility. I treasure it dearly. I am now teaching Nurse Aides. I will give each class a copy of this poem on the first day of class!
this is true life so when working with the old remember at heart they are still young
I have been in the care profession for 25 years and have never read anything so ture as this poem, I am a care manager and have place this framed on a wall for all my staff to read, hoping this will remind them of what it is like to be old.
Thanks to Donna for pointing me in direction of this lovely poem
I have an old reel to reel tape recording dating from the late 50's of my grandmother reciting this poem. This recording is very moving as we later lost my grand mother to alzhimers in the 80's.
Just as a side note. I am from Northern Ireland & I first came across this poem between 20-25 years ago when I worked for a children's charity and a volenteer showed me a copy of the Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health magazine that it was in... so that much is true
This poem really touches my heart. I took care! Of my mom. For years but I never understood until I notice how people look at me since I get older.
This poem was written in 1966 by Phyllis McCormack, then working as a nurse in Sunnyside Hospital, Montrose. For more information, see the Crabbit Old Woman article in Wikipedia
I volunteer at the hospital in the Out Patient Surgery Unit two days a week, and another day, play the keyboard with a group of musicians at Nursing Homes in the region. I have gained an insight through this activity to have respect for the ailing and the elderly, because there go I at some point in in my life !!

This Is Annoying Me...
People who classify themselves as conservatives, moderates, or liberals, and live accordingly. Why can't we be hybridized . Pick the best to suit the times we live
This Is Making Me Worry...
The politicians behavior. Is it their career, or service to people and the country. The money in Washington, high level corruption, which shuts the freedom of people who elected these people. Attitude of one party should rule this country, and the loss of respect to the elected President.

From the draft riots of the 1860s to the racial riots of the 1960s, urban violence has signaled major problems in American society. In 1992, Rodney King, an African American, was beaten by Los Angeles police officers after a traffic stop. The beating was recorded on video. The acquittal of the accused police officers triggered a riot in which 55 people were killed, more than 2,000 were injured, and the damage to property was extensive. This riot led to congressional hearings, and it forced government agencies and foundations trying to improve social and economic conditions to re-examine their work in America's cities.
Prior to the Los Angeles riots, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation had awarded few large grants to improve health in inner cities. A result of the post-1992 re-examination was the development of the Urban Health Initiative, a major effort to improve the health and safety of children living in five medium-size and large cities. What made the Urban Health Initiative unusual was its commitment to improving the health of a significant number of children in the five cities. It was not just a pilot project or a demonstration to test new approaches; rather, the Urban Health Initiative was a program with the ambitious goal of making a positive difference in the cities' health statistics—in effect, undertaking a role usually played by government.
This chapter of the Anthology raises an interesting and important question: how can foundations fund programs of sufficient size to improve the health of a significant number of people living in distressed urban areas? The resources of foundations, after all, pale in comparison to those of government. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation's fourth-largest foundation, awards between $400 million and $500 million a year in a $2 trillion health economy. The annual budget of the City of Los Angeles is $6.7 billion.
This question of scale led the Urban Health Initiative to create what it called the denominator exercise, which asks (1) How many kids are in need of help? (the denominator) and (2) What will it take to have an impact on a substantial percentage of those kids? This exercise provides an indication of the size of the effort required to have an impact.

I hope that Noroozi comes back soon. He's one of my favorite greco guys (so is Sourian).
Is there a video of the finals? Is it worth watching, or do the Russians use the stall-stall-gutwrench technique:) ?

hoom, they mostly used their gutwrench technique but still you can find some nice throws. great atmosphere
Pretty entertaining final IMO, lots of guys looking to score on the feet and throw from the ground. Vlasoev doesn't like to get scored on:) He was willing to dance around until the other guy pissed him off, then he really turned it on. Great wrestler.
The 96 kg Russian got a good slap in the face from his coach:) Then he goes out and gets thrown. You can almost see him think "I don't want to get slapped again" and he comes back to win.

NCMA Certification: Experience Requirement Waived for DAU's CON 090 Grads
March 28, 2012
Contact: Correen Dingle
ASHBURN, VA—March 28, 2012 – The National Contract Management Association (NCMA) announces its newly established arrangement with the Defense Acquisition University (DAU). The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed today, March 28, 2012, allows students that successfully complete DAU's CON 090 the opportunity to apply for and take NCMA's Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM) Certification examination immediately after their DAU course of instruction is complete. Regardless of the CON 090 student's length of service in the contracting profession, NCMA will waive the "one year of experience" requirement of the CFCM application.
NCMA's Interim Executive Director and Chief Knowledge Officer, Alan Boykin, CFCM, noted, "This is a major advantage for the CON 090 student as it allows them to immediately sit for the CFCM exam so they can effectively use the knowledge they've gained from their concentrated four-week course while it is fresh in their minds. The CON 090 course provides students with in-depth understanding of federal contracts, which is key in earning the CFCM designation."
To read the MOU, please visit www.ncmahq.org/DAUMOU12.
The National Contract Management Association (NCMA), founded in 1959, is the world's leading professional resource for those in the field of contract management.

I immediately researched the dessert and upon seeing the delicious pictures, I thought of a sexy freckled(spots/marks on peaches) redhead(red lining of the peaches) stripping down to her peaches(inner peaches), and to get into a bowl of cream =P With less than a week to work on it, I'm pretty happy with it. I wanted to also go for more of a Gil Elvgren pin-up style mixed with Norman Rockwell poster touch. I also wanted to mimic Tex Avery's sexy Red Hot Riding Hood character, due to her being a hot redhead =) 10-15hrs Copyright (C) Sasha Palacio 2007 All Rights Reserved No unauthorised duplication or distribution without explicit permission from the copyright holder.

These padding will also be rigorous and works as a shield between the heating system outcome from the notebook computer along with the user's lap. Though these air conditioning patches will not be always as effective as the lively pads these are small, and light and are great for traveling. Advantages Of A Notebook computer Chilling Mat In addition to the evident advantage of getting on the laptop's temperatures and avoiding shutdowns, the air conditioning pads have another benefits. Inhibits Shutdowns: There may be absolutely nothing more irritating than a laptop computer turning off while in work. Without the proper file backup systems end users typically drop several hours of labor. A high quality notebook computer cushion will prevents shutdowns caused because of getting too hot. Safeguards The Equipment: Sudden system shutdowns positions a great deal of toll on the computer computer hardware. It may cause circuit injury and hard drive crashes. Improved temp inside a notebook gradually damage virtually all of the components and decreases a laptop's total life time. This simply means an effective laptop computer chilling pad not merely helps save the computer hardware components but additionally helps to keep the appliance healthful for an extended period of time. Improved Program Functionality: The improved chilling outcome of your GPU as well as the CPU permits the notebook computer to operate speedier for an extended length of time. The temperature manufactured by the GPU and also the Central processing unit is related forwarded to the system functionality. Retaining them at the reasonably reduced temperatures permits these components to be effective more difficult producing the device respond faster. Comfy Lap Use: It keeps users thighs away from the heating effect of the laptops, as the pad forms a barrier between the lap and the laptop. This might not are a major advantages but there has been cases of user's thighs becoming burned up on account of prolonged usage. Colder Operating Environment: Some notebooks air out so much heat that it warms up the location across the notebook. This is especially valid for old models. Without an ac unit focusing on these appliances can turn into a sweaty affair. A cooling pad raises the airflow cools down the nearby environment. Work surface To Firmly Set The Notebook: It provides a safe platform to securely place laptops. That's one of the minor usages of the cooling pads. It is a fantastic benefit for individuals that has got to traveling a lot and it has to use their laptops outside the house.

Passenger Ferguson said crew members tried to make the situation bearable.
"They did their best to keep our spirits up," she said.
Joseph and Cecilia Alvarez of San Antonio said they were on the lowest deck near the back of the ship when the fire broke out and they smelled smoke coming from the vents. She said there was confusion that night about whether to evacuate cabins, with firefighters running through the halls.
He said some passengers passed the time by forming a Bible study group that drew about 45 people.
"It was awesome," he said. "It lifted up our souls and gave us hope that we would get back."
While the passengers are headed home, Triumph will head to a Mobile shipyard for assessment, Thornton said.
Earlier Thursday — four days after the 893-foot ship was crippled in the middle of the Gulf— the passengers and crew suffered another setback with towline issues that brought the vessel to a dead stop for about an hour just as it was getting close to port.
As the vessel drew within cellphone range Thursday, passengers vented their anger.
Renee Shanar of Houston was on board with her husband, whom she said has heart trouble. They were told they would be among the first to disembark, she said.
"I don't believe them; they've been lying to us from the beginning," Shanar said.
Disgusted by the foul air and heat on the lower decks, many passengers hauled mattresses and bed sheets onto the top deck and slept there, even staying put in a soaking rain. As the ship approached the coast, a slew of Carnival workers removed the bedding and took it downstairs.
In a text message, Kalin Hill, of Houston, described deplorable conditions over the past few days.
"The lower floors had it the worst, the floors 'squish' when you walk and lots of the lower rooms have flooding from above floors," Hill wrote. "Half the bachelorette party was on two; the smell down there literally chokes you and hurts your eyes."
She said "there's poop and urine all along the floor. The floor is flooded with sewer water ... and we had to poop in bags."
The company disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as filthy, saying employees were doing everything to ensure people were comfortable.
Some travel agents said cruise prices and bookings have not been affected by the disabled Carnival ship, but others in the industry say it's too early to tell.
Thelbert Lanier was waiting at the Mobile port for his wife, who texted him early Thursday.
"Room smells like an outhouse. Cold water only, toilets haven't work in 3 1/2 days. Happy Valentines Day!!! I love u & wish I was there," she said in the text message, which was viewed by The Associated Press. "It's 4:00 am. Can't sleep ... it's cold & I'm starting to get sick."
Carnival has canceled a dozen more planned voyages aboard the Triumph and acknowledged the crippled ship had been plagued by other mechanical problems in the weeks before the engine-room blaze. The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation.
Passengers were supposed to get a full refund and discounts on future cruises, and Carnival announced Wednesday they would each get an additional $500 in compensation.
Plushnick-Masti reported from Houston. Associated Press writers Bob Johnson in Montgomery, Ala., and Melissa Nelson-Gabriel and Brendan Farrington in Mobile, Ala., contributed to this report.

Fire what guys over 40??? EV2? think again...
Ric Flair? Paul knows damn well how dumb that would be.
If only Paul actually agreed to come to TNA, he wanted full control of the company and wanted to bring in former ROH president and current VP of Dragon Gate USA, Gabe Sapolsky as well as former WWE advisor and writer Dave Lagna. He had a 5 year plan which i found extremely interesting, I quote the following from an interview: "It came real close with TNA. To me, it was more of a deal with Spike TV and then a stock and ownership deal involving TNA. I had a five-year plan. I was going to spend 18 months building the roster, the next 18 months exploiting that built roster, that's three years in, go public in three, stay for two more running it and get out at 50 [years old]. That was my plan. I had an exit plan. I had a five-year plan and I clued everyone into it. I told TNA what my plan was and I told Spike TV what my plan was and how we would capitilaze on it and how we would make this thing move and an acknowledgement that wrestling is a diminishing market and it's not perceived as cool and here's how you, if not change course, at least present it differently so that at least you have a chance in today's marketplace to at least compete.
"When that didn't happen, that was it. I didn't have any other interest in doing it. It was close. I would have done it for that particular deal and that's it. That time passed. Now I'm looking at taking my abilities elsewhere and the logical step for me is this entry point right now both into MMA and into also just the branding world."
Look at the opportunity Dixie missed as well as Spike TV. He called it quits for wrestling and went onto the world of MMA and Strikeforce. So if TNA and Spike accepted the offer, where would TNA stand? That's right, real competition to Vince McMahon and not have those who lack in talent stand in the way. He'd fire all those over 40 (I'm not so sure for Kurt Angle though) and keep everyone else who are in the peak of their career.
This is just what I think though....
I hope Gunnar and Murphy will officially become part of Immortal. They need to drop the security gimmick and wrestle. I'd rather see them in the tag team division than Ink Inc or Team 3-D (Devon is still great, Ray can't wrestle any more though and should retire.)
Thanks for commenting on my post, i agree with the majoirty of what you say. When i posted this blog i should have been asleep as it was 4am UK time. When i talk about the possible scnerios for the ending of this story line i am only offering out possibles & not saying that A mine are likely or B i know what i am talking about. I do however wish to clear up that when i talk about NWO overkill i do not want Hogan/Bischoff to ruin the plot like they did with it on WCW. But for now they have not done that be you & i know that they may well do in future.
Interesting blog, though there are some parts I don't agree with...
I am pretty sure that the immortal group has grown to it's maximum size already as there doesnt seem to be anyone else on the rosta that they could call upon. So the focus for me will be how they reunite EV2.0/RVD & get them all going in a straight forward good versus evil battle.
It shouldn't have happened at all. Bishoff, who lied to everyone, stole the title from RVD and stole the company from Dixie, told RVD that he shouldn't trust his team, and HE BELIEVED HIM?!? There should be no reason RVD should even think EV2.0 would betray each other. But watch as Bishoff was telling the truth on that...
I think we are going to see a rerun of the 'alliance' hostile takeover on WWE with Paul Heyman et al. Ironically with the discussions between Heyman & TNA ongoing he could only come in front of the camera on TNA at the moment as a face character, something i could'nt imagine.
Two things: 1- The Alliance Storyline sucked. One side was made a joke and only stood a chance when some from the winning side joined them. 2- Paul is asking for a lot of power which won't be acceptable in RL for Bishoff or Hogan.
Eventually the tag teams will have to be split up accordling so everybody on the rosta is one side or the other. TNA i dont think can copy WCW by keeping wrestlers out of the two groups as they simply do not have enough quality to be able to do that.
They do. And they must. To build a show about one Storyline is a big no-no. People will get sick of the story in a much shorter time if there is no other storyline to keep them occupied.
For me this plot ensures 6 - 12 months of decent TNA viewing but if they wander to the ring in big groups, talk trash & bugger off after five minutes a few too many times then it's WCW/NWO overkill/boredom.
So far the past two weeks were just that. And you know who caused the nWo overkill? Bishoff and Hogan.
I tolerated Hogan and Bishoff when they didn't do much, but now it's back to when they were in power in WCW and I just can't watch it anymore.
i think we fan should write more about tna just like daniel. good writting
Good read mate! Keep them coming

PodPonics is riding the locavore wave by growing greens in old shipping containers. Photo by Scott Bridges
The UpTake: PodPonics LLC, a startup that developed a high-tech way of growing produce in shipping containers, has raised $3.4 million to see if it can go big.
P odPonics LLC, a startup that developed a high-tech way of growing produce in shipping containers, has raised $3.4 million as it rides the "locavore" wave.
The Series A investment, led by Connecticut-based New Ground Ventures, will be used to double growing capacity over the next three months, PodPonics' Vice President of Finance Connor Seabrook said.
Atlanta-based PodPonics operates an 11-acre "urban farm" near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
For more news from the Atlanta Business Chronicle, check out Urvaksh Karkaria's work.
The PodPonics system uses software and hardware to grow lettuce and other leafy greens year-round, without soil, sunlight or pesticides.
Using hydroponics, the crops are grown in vertical tiers inside former shipping containers, which range from 320 to 450 square feet. Each pod can produce the equivalent of nearly an acre of crops.
About 90 percent of the lettuce sold in the East Coast is trucked in from California.
"PodPonics systems can grow the food near to where it is consumed," said Seabrook.
Hydroponics reduces the environmental impact of farming because the process uses recycled water, does not require pesticides and grows more food per acre. "Consumers are getting a fresher product that's pesticide-free," Seabrook said.
PodPonics was founded in 2010 by tech entrepreneur Matt Liotta. In the past year, the company has pivoted away from servicing local restaurants at small volumes, spokesman John Davidson said.
"We've changed our market strategy significantly and aggressively entered the retail grocery space with our ready-to-eat salad mixes," Davidson said. "Our 'Lettuce Buy Local' branded products are now sold in hundreds of grocery stores around the Southeast (Whole Foods, Kroger, The Fresh Market), and this Series A is to expand our capabilities and push toward other markets in the East Coast."

57th Chinese Tourist Group Visits DPRK
|Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- A group of 226 Chinese tourists visited the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from June 2-4.
It is the 57th round of tourism held under an agreement made between the Korean International Juvenile Travel Company and Dandong Branch Company of the China's Guolu International Travel Agency.
During its tour, the group visited Panmunjom and saw the historical relics on display at the Koryo Museum in Kaesong City. It also toured edifices in the capital city of Pyongyang, including the Tower of the Juche Idea and the Arch of Triumph, and enjoyed an art performance given by schoolchildren at the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace.
Taking traditional Korean dishes was one of the tourists' main attractions.
Jia Yubu, general manager of the Kanghui International Travel Agency in Dandong of China, told KCNA that the agency would organize more tourist groups to make them get a better understanding of the DPRK.

About MLMhelp.com…
I think my favorite quote of all time is
"Formal Education makes you a living, if your become
Self-Educated your create a fortune"
I attempt to constantly stay in front of new marketing
trends, while learning from the past and to never
neglect the proven systems of the past.
There is so much going on right now, it is an
very exciting time.
What are you learning right now?
What is your focus?
These are powerful questions all successful people
should be asking themselves. When you are green
you grow, when you are ripe you rot.
Many people try to learn to make money. Others
learn to learn and refine their systems. Systems
and only systems can be duplicated over and over
in multiple markets.
Our primary focus this year has been
1) Kindle Publishing
Dawn and I have gone through multiple courses on this
subject. Most published, not fiction books are simply
lead generation tools for the authors. So we are not looking
at Kindle as a profit stream as much as we are a lead
generation tool.
We have converted some of my older books to Kindle,
and the last 3-4 books I have written, the only way I
offer them right now is through Kindle.
You can see my books on Amazon here:
Again, we are still in the process of learning and systemizing
our process. I know, it makes no sense for us
to not have books in PDF format, and yes we
should be placing books on the Barnes & Nobles
Nook. We are in the process of learning and working
through all of this as I speak.
If you do the research you will see, that experts say
that in the future, books will basically become extinct.
Any of us who have become avid readers over the years
have mixed emotions about that fact. However our
emotions, doesn't change the fact. The truth is getting
in front of trends is always a smart move to make from
a marketing and lead generation standpoint.
We actually started our learning process on Kindle
at this website: http://cmgwebsitetraffic.com/links/2727
2) Mobile Text/SMS Marketing
We are testing new campaigns every month, trying to make
the math work. Quite frankly, this marketing method has
become so hot there is a ton of conflicting information
out there and no clear guru to learn from at this point.
We have invested several hundreds dollars this year on various
courses, and to this point we are still having hit and miss
results. You can find, good tools and information here:
I know that this marketing method is the future. It makes
since with the right product and the right targeting. I am
going to continue to learn and test, and I find the potential
3) Facebook
There is nothing more frustrating for me as a marketer this year
than Facebook. We have had great success with paid ad campaigns
and totally bombed with others.
We have spent thousands of dollars this year, on training courses,
and paid FB ads. The challenge as soon as you start to figure it out
they change everything.
The rules are not in place.
Now that Google has released their website to compete with
Facebook it appears Facebook is almost in panic mode as the
media continues to beat them up over privacy issues and their
data collection process. By the way, I disagree with
the media stance on this. The only thing required for you to
give Facebook to set up an account is your name and email
address, everything else is voluntary!
If you don't want it to be in cyber space then don't put it on
For the money this Facebook course is still the best investment
we have made: http://cmgwebsitetraffic.com/links/2728
I create hundreds of leads a month through facebook and make
over $1,000 in affiliate commissions, but for the work and time
I have put into this it should be 10X what it is. It is hard to hit
a target when it keeps moving on you.
That is what Facebook continues to do. It is a constant evolution.
The groups, and fanpage codes and rules have changed m
ultiple times. For now, my focus is going to stay on the paid
ads aspect because that has stayed fairly consistent, and
there is no question that the targeting options they offer are
powerful. The challenge is to get your cost per clicks to a
manageable number.
In the meantime, I am very happy with the .09
cent clicks I get here every month:
http://cmgwebsitetraffic.com/links/2729 this program continues
to be the best $30 a month a spend on online advertising.
I just want to encourage you to recognize and stay in
front of trends. Without question that is where you
will find the greatest rewards for your marketing efforts.
Stay GREEN my friends!
It appears that this is the new trend. A new way
for google to Rank Websites.
If you have a website,that you are trying to keep
ranked high in the search engines, when you see
anything online about Google Plus 1, take the time
to read about it.
"I cannot tell you what one person will do, but I can
tell you what 95 out of 100 will doâ€
People are predictable and because the real product
in network marketing is people, it makes the entire
business predictable.
I want to share with you a concept I have never
talked about before, but I have observed for thirty years.
I call this concept the Mental progressions of
Network Marketing leaders and the mental digression
of Network marketing failures.
When skeptical people with poor self images get
involved in network marketing the digression of their
mindset starts off bad, and then goes down hill, you
can count on it.
• I don't think It will work for me.
(With no conviction or belief in what they are doing
they casually mention their product or opportunity to
four or five co-workers or family members, all who bring
up basic, common objections. Instead of directing
these people to a 3rd party presentation, they end up
talking too much and trying to sell these people on the
opportunity instead of the EVALUATION of the 3rd
party tool)
This obviously doesn't work.
• Mindset moves to I knew it wouldn't work for
me, I can't sell
• Then the excuses start and it becomes
somebody's fault, or blame their failure on the
company, the product, the people in their town,
their negative relatives, anybody except the fact
that they are lousy and don't have any belief or
conviction about what they are doing.
This is 70% of the population and eventually all
leaders come to the conclusion that we would be
much better off if we just never sponsored these
people to begin with.
I talk about this in a video I did called "We are
only looking for 30% of the population†which you
can check out at www.MPBDiamond.com
The Mental Progression of a Network
Marketing Leader.
You can watch good people go through a
mental progression. As I share with
you these mental states some of you
will remember when you were at various
states, and you can probably identify
various people on your team that are at
a particular state right now. The secret
is to progress, or "grow past†each
state, and don't hang around too long.
Some people get caught in a state and
never seem to be able to progress and
move forward. Don't let this happen to
you or your team members!
#1 I am going to get Rich! When new
people really get a vision for the
duplication factor and residual income
that network marketing can provide,
they know that everyone they know
will be smart enough to jump on this
concept. Why would anyone want to
spend their life building someone else's
dream when they can create residual
income? That is a great question, but
most of you know in the real world,
most people are afraid to try anything
#2 AGGRAVATION and Frustration
When we realize that 70% of the population
has no vision. Then 50% of those that do
join, never make any effort what so
eve,r we tend to become discouraged
with the lies prospects tell us and the
terrible work ethic of those that do join.
Aggravation and frustration moves
in as we realize "people lie†the work
ethic in the United States stinks, these
are the first two major realities of this
#3 SIMPLISTIC At this point, we
tend to play with the numbers and feel
like we can put together such a simple,
logical presentation, that only a fool
wouldn't join. I have been there,
and have seen many people get stuck in
this stage.
Eventually it becomes real evident
that people do things for their reasons
not ours, and that 70% will not do a
thing no matter how logical a concept is,
or how much sense it makes. Those who
tend to focus on the numbers and
logic lose touch with human nature and
the realities of this business.
#4 DO IT ALL FOR THEM. This is how
ridiculous ideas like downline clubs,
lead co-ops, phone room closers, etc,
etc. are developed. The basic
concept is just give me x number of
dollars for the co-op advertising
and I will create the leads and close
them for you. The challenge?
Network marketing is a leadership
development business. You cannot
throw money at it to build an
organization of leaders. These types of
programs have been around for years
and years. It is comical. When
people get to this state of mind
whatever master plan they come up
with …. they know it will answer the
challenges and somehow activate
70% of the population who are going
to die broke no matter what.
Network marketing is not about finding
people who are willing to spend
40 bucks a month for an autoship and
join a downline building coop $200.
It is about developing leaders! If you
build people, people will build
the business!
FIND 3 LEADERS A YEAR. This is
the stage that all leaders must get to,
to maximize their productivity. Many
potentially good people with leadership
abilities find themselves going in
and out of the first four levels. When
does this ever change?
When can you finally get yourself mentally
and emotionally to the point where
you understand the law of averages?
I believe it happens for most people
after they find somebody that wants
the business as bad as they do, and
are 100% committed and dedicated.
Until this happens, you will see people
come and go all the time. Some can
get focused and excited for a couple
of weeks, some a couple of months,
but a winner will stay focused and
excited for as long as it takes!
After you find your first real leader,
you know you can find another,
and another.
You first goal is to create momentum
and multiplication in your distributor
organization. However after two or
three years of finding and developing
three leaders a year, you will see the
number of leaders on your team start
to duplicate and at that point it is
game over ……… YOU WIN!
The goal is to get to Phase 5 as
soon as you can and don't waste time on
gimmicks and short cuts.
Understand the Law of Averages and
Leadership Development and get it from
your head to your heart!
This is what finally pushed me over the
edge, in a good way.
Facebook enjoyed 162 million unique U.S. visitors during July.
This marks the second month in a row of record high traffic.
This comes from comScore's latest monthly report on traffic.
During June, 160.8 million unique visitors hit Facebook and in
May there were 157.2 million uniques.
This data set quashes all prior chatter about Facebook possibly
losing its luster among U.S. users.
Setting a new record for traffic during the same month that
Google Plus launched at the very least indicates that the
competitor isn't detracting from Facebook.
If anything, Google Plus may be increasing people's appetites
for social media.
However, the traffic gain is barely more than one percent over
the previous month, and in terms of raw numbers. Google Plus
had gained about ten million users during July, but that's starting
from nothing.
Earlier this year we talked about the important trends to
study this year would be Facebook Marketing, Mobile Marketing
and Marketing with Kindle Books.
That is still my belief and that is where our focus has been
this year, and will remain until these 3 marketing methods are
The best information we have found for Mobile Marketing is
at http://www.MobileMarketingOnline.com
We have spent thousands of dollars this year on Facebook
Marketing courses. The best place to start is still here:
We are just now starting to go through Kindle Education.
As we have always tried to share, go where the traffic
already is!! Facebook his huge with no end in sight, it
has become part of our culture. Learning how to maximize
your Facebook marketing now is an investment I highly

Act Like A Lady…Think Like A Man: Why Not Take Him For A Test Drive?
By: staceyq2you
Tags: Commitment, Living Together, Marriage, Mr Right
By: Zara A
Commitment has become an issue for me over the past few years (and 'No… I was NOT cheated on…Well not to my knowledge!'Lol) I guess my reserved 'like my own space' nature coupled with not particularly warming to the idea of becoming vulnerable both play a part. So although the thought of a fairy tale wedding allows my overly-creative imagination to run wild, spending the rest of my life *in theory* with 'Mr Right' is a rather daunting yet exciting idea.
The question I've recently found myself asking is: Do you think its a good idea to cohabit (live together) before marriage? My mother has made it very clear that its certainly not advisable. She believes you shouldn't live with and possibly even share a bed with someone until you are married *lips sealed*. My mum is pretty liberal so my ultimate decision shouldn't be too much of a problem, I hope. But as we all know, views and opinions about what are and are not socially acceptable change with time (well not in many traditional African and Asian households, whereby 'lea-way' seems to be a foreign term). Saying this, its interesting how some adults advise you on various topics but in practice are BLATANLY doing the opposite (yes, I am talking from personal experience and I'm sure many of you can relate too). Hmm, a case of 'do as I say, not as I do' I'd say.
Anyway, I think its a great idea to live together at first instance, simply because it makes sense. I guess marriage can be seen as a fun and exciting experience, but at the same time it is a serious, life-long commitment. So surely it would make sense to have a trail period? I feel it will allow you to see how peacefully you can get along despite limited personal space, experience each others bad habits as well as exercise your compromising abilities. After all, you wouldn't buy a car without test-driving it would you? (A pretty lame comparison… I agree, but that's the best I could come up with after a long day at work). Some may argue that they 'basically' live together as they're almost inseparable, but when you have separate homes you always have the option to retreat to your own space and privately engage in your weird activities and/or habits.
Apparently research has shown that cohabiting relationships tend to be less stable than marriage, which seems logical to me. If the dotted line has not been signed, there is far less obligation to stick around right? Research also suggests that people living together prior to their wedding are more likely to have rocky relationships/break-ups than those who do not cohabit. To be honest, I don't fully understand how that works. Anyone care to shed some light on the logic behind this assumption?
So guys, do you think its a good idea to cohabit before marriage or not? I'm curious, so please feel free to share your views and experiences.
Stay blessed x

i think that you must have a trial period. sure research shows that its a bad idea, but how else will you truly know who you can stand. i couldnt marry a girl i had never had a home with… i imagine it would be awkward.
hmm.. i agree with your mum about its not advisable to live together before marriage. sharing beds is not an issue which should be debated, but saying that i agree with your mum i am about to contradict myself and say it depends on if you and your partner are even planning on getting married, if not then i think you should move in together but if you do decided to getting married then wait until the day the commitment has been agreed.
Home run! Great sulggnig with that answer!
first of all boys and girls need to get it out there "Mr Right" / "Mrs Right" implies that your waiting for what we would call that "perfect" someone sorry to burst bubbles but "perfect" dosent exist, lots of relationships dont work out because you/your partner is expecting them to be like a dream partner thus faults/flaws in there personality are highlighted more and imprint on your mind because its not we "expect" from them. You want a long last relationship learn to compromise. (sorry for the rant)
Now mummy is right, cohabitation isnt advisable not to say there are no benefits of it however and about not sharing a bed….. (the lord will deal with me in this respects snm)
living with someone i agree with you Z the trail stage to see how you can both be in a home environement would be benefical especially if you believe this relationship is going to lead to marriage.
But my view is when cohabiting you paint a pricture that when you get the ring on the finger you think life will be the same as before, when fundamentally everything changes, which could cause hard times in your marriage from the get go. I think we can all agree that every Relationship has that honeymoon period, i feel that people who are fully committed in there relationship move in together before marriage to keep that period alive or set it back alight but when all that stuff fades away then the doubts creap in the mind "is this person right for me"
life has given me many experiences to learn from obviously the experience of marriage is one im yet to experience but thats my view at the momment.
BION I'm ipmsresed! Cool post!
I never thought of it that way, well put!
open you're own f___kin' doors
Well i will have to be of the old school and say that cohabiting will ruin the values for marriage. I would love to wait till the 'I do's' before i start the living together with the woman i Love, no test drives…its not a for better or better but for better or worst. There definitely will be issues i will not like but its a commitment to Love someone forever and that process has to grow while we learn about each other.

Discover how to get the most out of your iPhone or iPod touch, from making calls, browsing the web, managing your time, and getting around town to taking notes, shooting photos, and listening to music. In this course, author Garrick Chow shows how to perform all of these tasks and more, and introduces the enhancements built into iOS 6, including enhanced language support and commands for Siri, shared photo streams, and the new Reply with Message feature for handling incoming calls. The course also includes hands-on demonstrations on how to accurately type and efficiently use finger gestures, and offers tips for personalizing the setup of the iPhone and iPod touch. An extensive section on troubleshooting helps when the occasional glitch happen.
The Maps application is one of the most useful built-in apps on the iPhone, at least for me. From figuring out where you are in a strange city to locating nearby restaurants and services, to seeing what the local traffic conditions are like, all of these capabilities and lots more are built into the Maps app. Let's tap Maps to open it up. If you see a message saying that Maps would like to use your current location, tap OK. That's just to confirm that you know that your iPhone is going to try to figure out where you are and you'll see this message for any app that tries to access your location information.
Most of the time when you're using Maps you'll want to start off by figuring out where you currently are. Unless you were previously using another function like getting directions or searching for a business, Maps should automatically hone in on and display your approximate location. If it doesn't, just tap the Locate button in the bottom left-hand corner. After a moment, a blue dot will appear giving you your location. Depending on where you are, which iPhone you're using, or whether you're using an iPod touch, the accuracy of your location will vary. If you're on an iPhone which contains an internal compass, tapping the Locate button again rotates the map to orient it with the direction you're facing, which can be a big help especially in cities like New York where emerging from the subway can be disorienting.
If you face a different direction you'll see the map rotate along with you. Tap the Locate button a third time to leave Compass mode. After leaving Compass mode you might find that your map is no longer oriented with north at the top of the screen. You can manually rotate the orientation with two fingers or you can tap the compass icon in the upper right hand corner to reorient the map. Compass mode is only available on the iPhone 3GS or later. If you're using an earlier iPod touch or any iPhone released before the iPhone 3GS, the Locate button just toggles between on and off.
Another advantage of having the Locate button is that you can also bring the map back to your current location. So if you're browsing some other section of the map, just tap Locate to scroll back to your current location. Now when you tap the Locate button at first, you'll probably see a large circle encompassing a pretty wide area on the map around your general location. This is Maps' first guess at where you are. After a couple of moments the map should zoom in and a blue dot inside a lighter blue circle will appear. This should be a more accurate representation of your location.
If you're using an iPod touch, this is probably the extent of how well Maps is going to find you. If you're on an iPhone 3G or later, after another moment, a pulsing circle around the blue dot should appear. This is ideally what you want to see because it indicates that the iPhone is actively tracking your location and the dot will move along the map as you drive or walk around. So how does Maps accomplish this? Well it depends on the device you're using. Every iPhone since the iPhone 3G contains actual GPS chips similar to the ones found in portable GPS devices you can get for your car.
So if you're outdoors with a clear view of the sky, your phone should be able to get a pretty accurate read on your location. But if you're indoors or in a city with lots of tall buildings, the GPS chip won't work as well or not at all. Fortunately all iPhone models as well as the iPod touch can still find your location using two other methods. The first is by referencing a database containing information about Wi-Fi networks found all over the world. Wi-Fi networks are so prevalent these days that Apple has collected data, mostly in large urban areas, figuring out that by determining which Wi-Fi networks are overlapping with each other, you can determine your approximate location.
Now this doesn't mean you have to connect to any strange Wi-Fi networks. Your iPhone or iPod touch has the ability to detect nearby Wi-Fi networks and using that information it can figure out where you are. Of course this means that you have to have Wi-Fi turned on and it won't work in locations where there isn't a heavy volume of Wi-Fi networks. The third method, which is available to all iPhones but not to the iPod touch is to use signals from nearby cellular towers to triangulate your location. This method works similarly to the Wi-Fi system, but instead uses signals from cell towers to figure out your general location.
If this is the only available information to your iPhone, your location display won't be as accurate, but it should pinpoint your general area within a couple of blocks which is still close enough for you to find a local restaurant or business. So those are the methods the iPhones and the iPod touch use to find your location. And once you have your location, you can search for all kinds of things. We'll explore more in the upcoming movies.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hours
Make crisps:
Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle. Line a rimmed sheet pan with a nonstick baking liner, or line it with foil and lightly oil foil.
Whisk egg white with sugar, coffee powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until blended. Stir in walnuts until coated. Spread mixture into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle in pan.
Bake until crisp is dry to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack to cool completely.
Loosen crisp with a metal spatula and break into small pieces.
Make sauce:
Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil without stirring, but washing down any sugar crystals with a brush dipped in cold water, until syrup begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Continue to boil, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup is a deep golden caramel.
Remove pan from heat and carefully add whiskey, cream, and salt (mixture will bubble up and steam and caramel will harden).
Return pan to heat and simmer, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Cool to warm.
Serve sauce over scoops of coffee ice cream then sprinkle with walnut crisp.
Cooks notes:
Crisp can be made 4 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. (Watch out, though; it's so delicious, you will be hardpressed to resist devouring all of it before your guests arrive!)
Sauce can be made 4 days ahead and chilled, covered. Re-warm to serve. Any leftover sauce will keep, chilled, at least 1 week.
