A very attractive woman walks into a bar, plops down onto a stool and orders two shots. She downs the first one... "This is for the Shame", and then the second one..."This is for the Glory." She has long brown hair with a hint of red in it. Her red mini dress is not only short, it is lowcut. The bartender has been hungrily eyeing her and hears what she mumbles to herself before downing her drinks. She then orders two more shots. She drinks the first one... "This is for the Shame" and then the second one..."This is for the Glory." She is about to order two more shots when the bartender stops her. He is able to stand closer to her now and can see down her low cut dress because she is leaning forward with her elbows on the bar. Her breasts look wonderful, a C cup he decides. "Ma'am, I was just wondering...you're downing those drinks pretty fast, so what's this about Shame and Glory?"
The drinks are working rapidly, and in her uninhibited state she starts telling intimate details that normally she would never divulge, especially not to a strange male. Or perhaps more so to a strange male rather than someone who might know her. "Well," she replies, "I like to do my housework naked. But earlier today when I got down on my hands and knees to get something from under the sink, my Great Dane started, well, he started licking me there. You know where I mean. It shocked me but it felt good, so I didn't jump up immediately like I should have." The bartender quickly refilled both of her shot glasses. This he wanted to hear. "Ahh, ma'am, I advise you to drink these perhaps a little slower so that you can keep them down." But the bartender was not so much concerned over her getting sick as he was concerned over her not getting to finish her story. She nodded, said "Thank you," and continued with her story. "He was licking away, and I just sort of...well, I just threw all caution to the winds and bent my elbows and put my face on the floor. I closed my eyes, pushed my butt out towards him and went into dreamland. All at once," she continued while downing the two shots, "before I realized what he was doing, he climbed up and mounted me from behind. I tried to get away, but he locked me in place with those huge paws of his. I couldn't believe how much power he had in those front legs. And then he shoved his thing in, or maybe I should say he rammed it in. I never felt anything like that before. He is a really large dog, and I mean large everywhere."
"That must be the Shame," the bartender said, with his eyes wide as he visualized this gorgeous woman getting it doggy style by a dog, of all things. "No, that was the Glory," she replied. Her eyes seemed to glaze over as she remembered what had happened. "He grew even larger after he was inside me, not only longer but a lot thicker. He was stretching me so nice..." her eyes glazed over as she remembered. "That dog really knows how to move his hips. He kept pumping really fast and wouldn't quit for the longest time."
She took another sip and continued, her voice beginning to slow. "Perhaps I should explain. I've been separated from my husband for several months and it's been a long time since I've been made love to, so I was pretty horny. I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I had several orgasms with my dog." The bartender's mouth fell open as he heard words coming from this woman he never in a million years thought he would be hearing. Then, as she took still another sip, she looked down into her glass and wriggled it, making the liquid roll from side to side in her glass. "And on top of that, while I was coming, the dog kept shooting his jizz into me all the time. It seemed like he was continuously coming. I could feel him throbbing, forever it seemed." "Hmm," said the bartender, trying to appear sympathetic, but with the growing excitement in his voice beginning to betray him. "I can understand the glory of that, I guess. But what about the shame?"
Then the woman lowered her head and her face turned red as she went on. "The Shame was when we got locked together by that huge knot on the inside end of his dick and he dragged me backwards out the door and around the front yard for a few minutes while the neighbors watched." The bartender had a hardon as he listened. It was all he could do to keep from laughing out loud at this incredible story. Back on the farm he had seen dogs fucking many times. He had watched as the male dog dismounted and turned the other way after coming. They two dogs would be locked together because that knot would grow after the male was completely buried inside the bitch, and then he would be caught inside her.
The rest was inevitable. The male dog's penis would be bent way behind him while he would try to get away from the bitch. He would drag her around until nature or maybe a shot of cold water would make him go down enough that they would become disconnected. That must have been something to see indeed with this lovely lass all naked and locked together with a well hung dog. She had finished her drinks and looked a little woozy. He poured two more shots. "On the house ma'am. Now tell me, how did you get loose?" She paused to take a sip, and looked into the bartender's face. She was totally uninhibited now, and the words, though slurred a little, flowed freely. "That was the worst part. Someone called the fire department and they came and...and at first they just stared at us. I'm pretty sure I heard someone snicker. Then one guy said he knew what to do to make the dog's dick go down and sprayed the dog with a hose. The dog started dragging me harder trying to get away. When he drug me he went into the side yard and I was glad because we couldn't be seen as easy by the people in the street. Anyhow, either his knot got smaller or he stretched me wider because in any case he finally popped out. It felt like...it felt like he turned me inside out when that giant knot went through my lips. I think I let out a big gasp when it came out. I was never so glad to have one pull out and at the same time wish it could stay. Then to make it worse he sat down on the spot and started licking his dick. Everyone gasped and stared at it because it was so big and red. You should have seen it, you wouldn't believe it. It was still shooting clear stuff in spurts. I guess that's what dog come looks like, and he was licking it up. The dick itself, the front of it I mean, was larger than most men, and that knot at the bottom of it was as big as my fist, maybe even your fist."
She sighed and her eyes were wide as she continued. "It was so wide, that knot, and the whole thing had to be 8 inches or more in length. I still can't believe I had that all the way inside me." She finished her second glass before continuing. Her head sort of nodded, and it looked like she was falling asleep. "Ma'am? Finish your story, I really want to hear the rest. Were you still up on your hands and knees?" She raised her head and nodded. "Yes, it didn't occur to me to try to cover myself I was in such a state of shock." She paused, as she remembered, and the bartender couldn't resist saying what he was thinking. He shook his head, "I guess those firemen were getting quite a view of you in that position." She shook her head in disgust. Not at what he was saying but at what she remembered. "Yes, my pussy was out there for all to see, and I was too dumb to try to hide it. Then a fireman threw a blanket over me and I rolled off my knees and sat down on the grass.
Then what had happened really hit me. I was so embarrassed. I could see up into their faces better now and everyone was looking at that dick and then back at me. I know they all were thinking that I had gotten under
that dog deliberately. I was so weak that I didn't stand up right away, and I guess they had all seen my pussy when I was still in the doggy position and after comparing it to that dog dick they were wondering how anything that size and shape got into me in the first place. All I know is it must have done more growing once it was inside me, because there is no way that knot came in from outside." "Yes ma'am," the bartender replied. "Dogs have a bone inside their penis. That helps them to be firm enough to enter the female when they first start out. Then their penis continues to grow inside the bitch and that is when that big knot grows and locks him in. It's nature's way of making sure the male dog shoots lots of jizz into the bitch, errr, I mean the female dog, and she gets pregnant."
She reached out and touched the bartender's arm. "Thank you. I didn't know that. I was looking at that knot he had and I knew darned well it could not possibly have been there at first. There was no way it could have gone into me that far." She looked sad and stared down into her drink. "There's no way my pussy is that big, at least not from the outside. Anyhow, I had to stand up and run into the house and I could barely walk because I was so sore.
The EMTs came to the door and rang the bell. I wanted to disappear from the face of the Earth, but I had to answer it. I threw on a robe. They wanted to know if I needed any medical help. I told them no, and I even remembered to thank them for their help. They were insistent though and thought I might have internal damage. I remembered how that dog dick looked, so long and big around and shaped funny, and I was afraid they might be right, so I let them in.
They had me lie on the couch on my back and one medic opened my robe. Then one medic took one of my legs and lowered it to the floor and raised my other leg over the back of the couch so that I was spread-eagled. They took a look inside with a flashlight and said although it was red it didn't appear to be torn or anything. That added even more to the shame, my lying there with my legs wide open while having these guys opening me up with their fingers and looking up my snatch."
"Did you say *they*, ma'am? You mean both men used their fingers to spread you open and took a look?"
She rolled her eyes, "Yes, and they took their time about it too. I guess there's nothing like getting a second opinion."
The bartender figured the EMT's were just getting themselves a good look at her most intimate body parts, but said nothing.
And then she added more. "One medic said something like, 'Hey, when she was on her hands and knees, that dog would have gone deeper into her in that position. We can't see very far up with her on her back. We probably need to put her in the same position she was in with the dog and take a look. She might have damage further inside.'"
The bartender nodded knowingly. He knew what was coming. You let them look?"
"Yes, I got up on my hands and knees again facing away from them. One medic said 'Lay down on your elbows so your ass sticks up in the air higher and it pushes your vagina out. That way we can get a better look."
The bartender sighed at the thought of her doing that for the two medics. Yeah, they wanted a better look alright, but not in the way she had thought they meant.
"Then they both took turns opening me up with their fingers and looking inside. I think they were using a flashlight then, too. They said they could see way deeper that way and everything looked 'just fine.'"
The bartender smiled to himself. "I'm glad."
She nodded and went on. "I let them do all that because I was genuinely concerned that I might have been injured. I knew though that they were also taking advantage because one of them, the first one pulled my lips opened and let them close. He said he wanted to make sure nothing was damaged on the oustide. He did it several times, and said something about how they seemed to have retained their elasticity. Then he touched my clitoris and made me jump a little. There was no reason for him to be touching me on the clitoris, it would seem."
"No ma'am, probably not."
She added, "Especially after the second one touched me there and while he opened me up again with one hand he kept me opened and used his other hand and rubbed my clitoris several times, and when I moaned a little and pushed my vagina back towards him he laughed and said, 'her vaginal and clitoral responses seem to be intact.'"
"Ma'am," said the bartender, realizing now that his customer was by now pretty much under the weather from the drinks, "They might have been acting like they were checking you for external damage, but didn't you realize that these men were taking advantage of you for their own amusement?"
She raised her head long enough to nod at him. "Yes, but by then I was turned on a little too. Then they looked at the scratches on the side of my body, my rib cage mainly and the sides of my breasts where the dog had sort of scratched me. The scratches weren't that bad, I guess, just red welts on my skin. The medics, both of them, put some salve on me. They made sure to put some on my breasts, even where there were no scratches."
"I guess they just wanted to get a feel of your breasts, ma'am."
She pondered that. "You're probably right, they even squeezed them and rubbed my nipples. Medics or not, they were just being your typical men."
She nodded sadly. "They suddenly got quiet and looked at one another. I think they were thinking about fucking me but about that time their radio came on and they had another call. So they laid me back onto the couch and told me to rest for a while and I would be O.K."
"Would you have let them fuck you?"
(Sigh) "I don't know. I was turned on but I was sore down there too so I don't know how it, how they would have felt."
Thinking that for sure he was going to get laid, the bartender offered her two more drinks on the house, then he said, "Ma'am, I have a store room in the back with a cot if you need to sleep it off." She was still leaning over the counter and her head was now in her hands. He was getting good looks down her blouse and seeing her nipples, when she suddenly looked up at him. He quickly raised his head to look into her eyes. As he stared into her eyes, she looked away, downwards, and noticed the bulge in his trousers. Suddenly a sobering thought hit her. This man must really think I am a slut. Fearing that he might relate the story to all his customers, she decided to change things around. "Did my story arouse you?" "Yes ma'am, it certainly did." "Does it make you want to..." she looked down at his bulge and made sure that he saw her look. "Does it make you want to fuck me?" "Ah yes ma'am, I guess it does. If you can't face those neighbors I could even let you stay the night at my place." "Well, I figured that was what you had in mind when you offered the cot. I'm a writer and I made that story up. I was just wondering if men were so without a consciense that they would fuck a woman after a dog, and now I know."
*HER DOG'S TRUE VERSION OF THIS STORY* ** 3 dogs are sitting in the waiting room of a vet's office. One is a Poodle, one is a Schnauzer and the other is a Great Dane.
The Poodle turns to the Schnauzer and asks, "Why are you here?"
The Schnauzer responds, "I'm 17 years old. I don't see or hear very well. I've been having accidents in the house. My owner says I'm too old and sick so he brought me here to be put to sleep."
The Schnauzer asks the poodle, "Why are you here?"
The Poodle responds, "I've not been myself lately. I've been especially high strung. I've been barking all the time, I've been snapping at people and I even bit one of the neighbor's kids. Nobody knows why this has been happening. My owner says he can't risk me biting somebody else so he brought me here to be put to sleep."
The Poodle and Schnauzer ask the Great Dane why he is here.
The Great Dane responds, "My owner is this beautiful runway model. Yesterday she was walking around the house naked when she suddenly bent down to get something from under the sink. She was bent over and naked and I got a whiff of her, and well, you know...nature took over and the next thing I know I'm licking her and then I'm on top of her doing the doggie thing. I couldn't help myself. We even got locked together and someone had to use the hosespray routine to get us loose."
The other two dogs couldn't believe their ears. The Schnauzer said, "You did it with your owner, a human?"
"Yes, and I have to admit, humans feel pretty good, maybe better than dog pussy."
The Poodle asks, "So your owner brought you here to be put to sleep?"
The Great Dane says, "No, I'm just here to get my nails trimmed."

Dr Oz: Miracle Berry Makes Food Taste Sweet
In this segment, Dr Oz introduced Adam Gollner, the author of "The Fruit Hunters" to discuss what this new miracle berry is and how it can help satisfy your sweet tooth and help you lose weight. Doctor Oz spoke about the Miracle Berry before, and you can read a recap of that segment here: Miracle Berry Tablets.
The miracle berry is also known as Synsepalum dulcificum. (Try saying that fast three times…or even once!) This berry hails from West Africa and has been around for a long time. According to Adam, the reason you may not have heard of this miracle berry is because the berries have a very limited shelf life and only last a couple of days.
Dr Oz: Miracle Berry Review
Dr Oz brought up Crystal, an audience member, who stated that she loved sweets, especially hard candies. Dr Oz asked if she could trade the candy for the miracle berry and, although she was hesitant, she said she would try it. According to Adam, you should bite down on the berry and swish it around and let it coat the taste buds. Dr Oz tried it too. He also gave some to a few audience members. Adam stated that it didn't matter if you ate 1 or 100 of the berries, it still had the same effect. The effects (the taste) should last for about an hour and will transform the sourness in food.
A few minutes after Crystal ate the berry, Dr Oz asked her to try a strawberry. Crystal tried it and said it was delicious. It was sweeter and she didn't even need to add sugar. Dr Oz then had Crystal taste a lemon slice. Crystal admitted that she was ready to make the "lemon face" but after trying it, she said that it too was delicious. Next, Dr Oz had Crystal try white vinegar. She and Dr Oz took a small sip and both stated that it wasn't bad. In fact, it was rather good.
Dr Oz: Miracle Berry Tablets
Use the miracle berry 30 minutes before eating a snack. Instead of getting junk food and other sweets, go for strawberries and lemons instead. These fruits help curb cravings and with the miracle berry, they now taste delicious. Another added bonus: strawberries and lemons contain antioxidants. (And you know Dr Oz loves his anti-oxidants!) After the berry, try drinking some vinegar to help keep your blood sugar level low and to help you lose some weight. You can purchase miracle berries online or at a local plant nursery in tablet form.

On capitol hill they are debating on whether or not they should take away 4billion in tax payers dollars from the oil companies. I say go ahead and do it as long as they take the subsidies away from ethanol, solar and wind energy. Those subsidies equal almost 14 billion between them.
Increase the standards and regulation for drilling but reduce the cost to purchase the rights to drill, that should offset the subsidies.
Allow the best energy solution to succeed or fail on its own with out government help.

11 dead as Israeli troops fire along Syrian border
Israel says a return of these people would spell the end of the country as a Jewish state, and says they should be resettled in a future Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Around half a million Palestinian refugees live across 13 camps in Syria, a country with a population of 23 million. Palestinians are allowed to work and study in government and private schools, but they do not have citizenship and cannot vote.
The Israeli military put the blame on the Syrian regime, which has killed more than 1,200 citizens during three months of demonstrations against the Alawite-dominated government of President Bashar Assad. The Syrian military, which tightly controls access to the border, did not keep the protesters from reaching the fence.
"This is an attempt to divert international attention from the bloodbath going on in Syria," said Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman.
"In the end, we are guarding our border," she said. "I wish they had obeyed our verbal warnings, but they chose instead to clash with the soldiers."
The Israeli military said troops fired warning shots into the air after people started approaching the border fence, then issued verbal warnings to protesters to stay away. After some of the protesters reached the fence, soldiers opened fire at their legs, the military said.
Residents of Majdal Shams, ethnic Druse who remain Syrian citizens while living on the Israeli side of the frontier, watched the protest from rooftops, booing each time the military tried to speak and cheering on the protesters.
At one point, several dozen Syrian protesters stopped along a hillside to pray, bowing to the ground in unison. Later, protesters split into several groups, trying to throw off the army as they tried to cut through the barbed-wire trench. A burning tire was thrown into the trench, sending a plume of smoke into the air.
The demonstrators moved toward the frontier even after more than a dozen people were killed during similar attempts along the Syrian and Lebanese frontiers on May 15, the day that Arabs mourn the establishment of Israel.
Sunday's protest marked 44 years since the 1967 Mideast war erupted. That war, a humiliating defeat for Arab states, saw Israel conquer the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria, and the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, all in six days.
Israel has withdrawn from the Sinai and Gaza, but remains in control of the other areas. Israel annexed the Golan in 1981 in a move that was never recognized internationally.
Things were relatively calm on Israel's other borders on Sunday.
About 400 Gazans hoisting Palestinian flags and posters gathered near the main passenger crossing into Israel, but Hamas riot police prevented them from marching toward the crossing.
At the West Bank's main crossing into Jerusalem, several hundred Palestinian young people tried to approach the checkpoint. They threw stones at Israeli forces, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. No injuries were reported.

The NTSC configuration of BHS-XR Command 7.5Hz Thermal Biocular from FLIR is a handheld thermal biocular capable of capturing photos and recording video of the transmitted image. The 640x480 VOx thermal sensor measures the heat signature within the field of view and enables the operator to see beyond smoke, dust, and fog obscuring the visual scene. Thermal imaging creates an image by discriminating between differences in temperature, allowing the BHS-XR to consistently operate in daylight, pitch dark, and dynamic lighting conditions. To help optimize image contrast for specific applications, this biocular features two selectable polarity modes and adjustable brightness. The dedicated polarity, brightness, zoom, and capture buttons located on the top of the housing permit intuitive control of the biocular functions without taking your eyes off the display.
The BHS-XR biocular allows operators to record, store, and transfer images of the thermal scene. Native resolution photos and videos can be recorded to an SD/SDHC card and transferred to a computer using the integrated USB 2.0 port.
FLIR's series of interchangeable manual focus prime lenses (each sold separately) are designed specifically for the BHS series biocular; the 100mm, 65mm, and 35mm lens options all attach to the biocular housing via the quick-detach bayonet mount and provide operators with a task-specific field of view. The included hot shoe attachment has ports to connect the power adapter and an s-video output cable for remote viewing and recording. A full-coverage eyeguard prevents light from the viewfinder display from illuminating the operator's face and helps maintain covert posture. The weather sealed housing, one-touch capture button, and integrated SD/SDHC card slot make the BHS-XR Command a full-featured thermal biocular for first responders and tactical professionals.

CLOSING THE SALEBy Mike Vaughn
We all seem to agree that finding an owner who will sell and a buyer who will buy are the most difficult parts of a ship transaction. However, closing up the transaction and successfully concluding the sale may also be strewn with difficulty.The first thing to remember is that it is basically a simple transaction. The buyers pays a certain amount of money and the owner signs a bill of sale. There are a variety of complications of this simple act.Generally, when you develop a check list for the closing these are the things you want to be certain about:Is the Bill of Sale in proper form and duly notarized?
At the closing, it is necessary to physically deliver the Bill of Sale to the buyer and for him to acknowledge receipt. Ordinarily, we have the buyer designate one individual to physically take charge of the vessel and accept delivery of it.The First Preferred Ship's Mortgage is then filed with the appropriate documentation office along with the Bill of Sale.If the vessel is incorporated and the buyers is taking over the stock in the corporation, the process will some what different. In that case, the bill of sale will be for the total number of shares of stock in the corporation. The corporate minutes then must reflect that the prior officers and members of the board of directors have resigned and the new officers and board of directors have been duly elected. The buyer may save substantial expense doing the transaction in the manner thereby avoiding re-documenting the vessel under a foreign flag.It is not unusual for a delay or two to take place. In dealing with foreign flag vessel or change of flag, we find that there will always be a new bureaucratic requirement that must be met, that will cause some delay.In addition:
THE MECHANICS OF CLOSING THE SALEI recently had the opportunity to assist two parties in the closing of a sale of a medium size commercial ship. During the course of discussing the matter with them, it occurred to me how much is taken for granted by the buyer and seller in any transaction.Marine transactions are very different from most sales due to the fact that the principal asset will soon disappear over the horizon and if everything is not properly resolved nothing but problems wait.THE CONTRACTEvery transaction should have a basic contract or memorandum of agreement. This is very simply a written understanding of what the parties intend to do.It should contain at the very least the following information:
THE TITLEThe buyer must be assured that the title he is receiving from the seller meets the legal requirements. To do this he should have a documentation service obtain and review a transcript of title from the US Coast Guard. This will assure him that the Bill of Sale is executed in the correct name and that all owners are signing the Bill of Sale. Also, if there are liens or mortgages on the title, he must make arrangements for them to be paid out of the purchase funds and for satisfaction of lien or mortgage documents to be filed.BILL OF SALEGenerally, the US Coast Guard standard Bill of Sale is satisfactory to pass title if properly completed and executed. The Bill of Sale is not effective until filed with the US Coast Guard Office of Documentation. Many buyers hold the Bill of Sale assuming that they will shortly resell the vessel. This is not a good practice. The buyers ownership is not established until the bill of sale is registered.ESCROW AND TRUST FUND EXCHANGEHow and when do the buyer and seller exchange money and title?If the parties are meeting face to face and all essential elements are satisfied and there will be no purchase money mortgage against the vessel, the parties can very easily trade money for title.However, if the parties are dealing at a distance or if there is a mortgage involved an escrow will have to be established.The escrow will provide a written list of items to be provided by the buyer and seller. When all paper work has been provided by the seller and when the buyer has deposited all sums owed, the escrow agent or attorney then transmits the money to the seller and the paper work to the buyer. Generally this is the easiest way to complete the transaction.When mortgages are involved, financing institutions will require that the mortgage be files and documented before the funds are disbursed. This is to assure them that they have the First Preferred Ships Mortgage on file.FORMS AND DOCUMENTSMost of the forms need can be found at the USCG web site or may be ordered by fax from the USCG Office of Documentation. We maintain some of the forms at the end of our web site.The more complicated transactions may require the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney and the services of a documentation service.Remember keep your paper work in order and make certain that all parties fully understand all aspects of the transaction.END

States Pass Groundbreaking Laws Legalizing Marijuana, Same-Sex Marriage
After yesterday's vote, Colorado and Washington have become the first states in America to legalize marijuana, while Maryland, Maine and Washington voters have become the first to approve same-sex marriage by referendum before any action by elected officials.
Appearing on Fox and Friends this morning, Fox News' William La Jeunesse explained the details of these measures and what they mean for the country.
"On one hand, this could be a watershed moment
that could lead to decriminalization across the U.S., reducing — many would argue — violence, jail time and an expensive drug war," he explained of the legalization of marijuana in Colo. And Wash. "On the other," he continued, "marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug — the sale, possession and production [of which is] a federal offense." La Jeunesse then went on to describe how the federal government has ignored state law and shut down medical marijuana dispensaries in the past.
Same-sex marriage was also approved for the first time by popular vote (as opposed to state lawmakers and courts) in the states of Washington, Maine and Maryland. And, seeing as many states already have their own laws and amendments concerning same-sex marriage, La Jeunesse expects this issue to soon go before the Supreme Court.
For the rest of La Jeunesse's report, watch the video below.

What Are Sai Good For Anyway?
As you may know I help the KD team when it comes to matters of traditional martial arts. It's a great pleasure because I get to answer questions, talk about weapons and stuff…basically the things us martial arts geeks do anyway.
Every now and then we get a question that inspires me to dive a little deeper into the matter and explore the concept in question. User TheShadow1928 asked a short and sweet one: "What are sai good for anyway?"
At first you might laugh a little…but then you might stop and say: "Yea, what ARE sai good for?"
In this video I dive into the background of the weapon, how it was useful to the Okinawans who created it and how it can still be useful in modern society. Check it out!

2010 – Lived Once, Ichi-Go
As New Years hits we are presented with a bittersweet moment where we reflect on things past and look forward to the future. What was in 2010 will never be again, for better or worse.
A significant part of Budo is coming to grips with mortality and learning how to make decisions, and once made moving forward strongly and bravely so as to better confront the next challenge. It's with that in mind that we should look back fondly on 2010 no matter the circumstances, knowing we can grow and learn from every experience.
As time continues to march, I've sometimes wondered if my love for the martial arts would wain. Over the past decade or so my involvement with the arts has, like a steam engine, slowly built in strength and speed. What was once an average 3-day-a-week activity has turned into a life pursuit, one which I have carefully intertwined into my every day dealings. My work, my writing, my training, my reading all revolve around finding slivers of growth, and helping others find theirs as well.
I've learned to build in breaks and purposefully put down my training, even if for just a few days. Even so, there's always that concern and wonder if one day I'll find myself falling out of love; when I'll wake up and not want to touch a gi. So far, after 15 years, it has not happened. Not even close, actually.
It's beyond my full understanding but the arts have a way of becoming the best part of you, if you let them. Letting go of them would be letting go of Ikigai.
It's with that I wish you a 2011 filled with strong spirit, so that you may overcome your obstacles and achieve those goals which will help you make the world a better place.

As a Knicks fan, Lin has brought this dying season back to life. The hype is a little odd. On last night's broadcast they said that the attendance in Minnesota was the fourth largest ever in that building for a TWolves game.
A few things of note:
- It was reported that Melo urged D'Antoni to give Lin some playing time. Melo was actually serving as a d-facto 'point-forward.'
- Lin will not last long if he keeps playing 38 minutes a night. He was gassed in the second half last night, shooting 1-9 in the second half after going 7-12 in the first half. Not surprising as a road game the night after a very tough battle against the Lakers. Teams have taken to "roughing him up" a bit on fouls to get him off his game.
- I'm not surprised to see a kid who the scouts missed develop into a decent player. Look at past drafts to see how many "can't miss" players actually do miss. It stands to reason that there are players that scouts ignore that probably can play. Lin is just lucky to have received an opportunity, and then make the most of it.
- The Knicks 5-game win streak is also due to a commitment to defense. Lin, Fields, Shumpert, Jeffries and Chandler are the Knicks best defensive players. When Amare and Melo come back, it will help the Knicks offense, but weaken their defense.
All in all, it's exciting to see D'Antoni's system work with a real point guard. It will be interesting to see Lin work with Amare (should bring STAT back to life with a guy who can run the pick and roll) and Melo (in theory, this should work because he'll get some open looks). Lin won't have to chuck 20 shots a night up and could settle into a 12-15 point - 8 assist guy.
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
Agree with the post above, with the condensed season I don't think he has the conditioning to be playing almost 40 minutes a night with a lot of 3 games in 3 nights, or 4 in 5 or whatever.
I don't follow the Knicks closely or anything, but it would appear that Lin and Amare are a match made in heaven. His most productive years were with Steve Nash in D'Antoni's offense. Now I'm not so sure how Melo will mesh without having the ball as much, but that appears to be more of an issue for Melo to have to deal with, not the team. They're winning this way so he's gonna have to adapt.

Situational Hitting is Stupid
Love the story and the player! I wonder what baseball's equivilant of Linsanity would be?
Is it even possible for a baseball player to come out of nowhere, do something, and sell out stadiums in other cities?
Maybe Fernandomania is the closest baseball could come to this?
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
I will admit that I detest the NBA but have found my interest peaked by Lin. I may check in to SportsCenter too see how he did. Right now Lin is living the life, he is a sudden star in NY and just guaranteed him another couple of years in the NBA. And oh yea, he has a Harvard degree to fall back on.
Chris Sabo, with his goggles and style of play, sort of burst on the scene with the Reds and was known nationally when he was a rookie. But baseball, with its minor league system, makes it much harder for an "unknown" to really be a big surprise. I guess you could say Fidrych and Joe Charboneau were two guys in the 70s that transcended their teams, and that was before ESPN.

You guys are showing your youth. Mark Fidrych, may God rest his soul, was 10x bigger than the garbage going on in the NBA. Dude was something else.
Looks like he's doing quite well. However, if he played for the Indiana Pacers instead of the New York Knicks, there wouldn't be quite this amount of attention being paid to him.

DisTech's DR350 rebuild
Last winters project was my DR650 and I had a blast with it this summer on some of the local trails. Winter is almost here again and I want a new project. mx_rob and ProCycle had me psyched about putting a big bore kit, high compression piston and web cam on the DR650, but then I started thinking what if I wanted to take some epic journey into a land of low octane? Also on tight trails the DR650 girth is limiting/exhausting. Better to leave the DR650 as my reliable long haul adventure bike.
Still liking the idea of a big bore project, wanting a less limiting bike for single track and being a sucker for brand loyalty I selected the DR350 as my next subject. I want it to be at least 75lbs lighter than my DR650 and with the right components I should be able to approach the stock DR650 HP and torque.
Here's what I have so far.
1994 DR350 (no plastics, no tank, no seat) $250
1993 DR350S (broken cylinder, damaged head, no wheels, completely disassembled in boxes, premium paid for WA street title) $450
The PO said the rod broke and it ate the piston, cylinder and chewed on the head some. He was going to rebuild it but lost interest.
The cylinder will be re-sleeved for a big bore kit. So is this usable?
That left valve seat is out of round and has some gouges. Is this head repairable? Top of the head looks good, no scoring.
The 94 motor is complete. So if the 93 top end is shot it's not the end of the world.
2007 200xc forks, wheel and I have the brakes as well. Let's just say these cost more than both DR350's.
To do:
DisTech - Suzuki (1993 DR350S & 1994 DR350, 1996 DR650/DR790), BMW (1999 R1100GS)

Mohegan - Whether he's wearing a business suit or the regalia of his beloved Mohegan Tribe, Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum has long been known to look the part.
But can he pose convincingly in biker's garb?
That's the question answered Friday night during the upcoming episode of CBS' "Undercover Boss," the Emmy Award-winning show in which corporate executives rub elbows with the people they employ.
For a reality show, "Boss" is pretty real, Bozsum said Tuesday.
Sure, he can laugh about it now. His hair's grown back.
Filmed here in late September at Mohegan Sun and at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., the episode finds Bozsum serving drinks, parking cars, tending to slot machines and readying Mohegan Sun Arena for a concert.
At the time of the filming, the 53-year-old Bozsum was chairman of the Mohegan Tribal Council and, by extension, head of the management board that oversees the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority. He's since relinquished the council's top spot but remains a council member.
All during the filming, he had to hope no one would recognize him.
He needn't have worried.
Staff from the show experimented with his look in an hours-long session at Bozsum's West Kingston, R.I., home.
First, they trimmed his hair and added a moustache, but that wasn't enough. They shaved his head "a little," and that didn't do it, either.
"Finally, the makeup girl said, 'We've got to go all the way. We've got to shave it all,' " Bozsum recalled. "I said, 'Whatever it takes.' "
He added a goatee and matching
eyebrows, temporary tattoos - a spider on his neck and the letters R-O-A-D
K-I-L-L on his knuckles - and earrings.
In Pennsylvania, the oldest of his eight children didn't recognize him.
Twenty-five-year-old Jacob Bozsum, a casino host at the Pocono Downs facility where Bruce worked as "a high-limit beverage server," passed right by his tray-carrying father a half-dozen times without noticing.
The elder Bozsum had to cook up a story to explain his presence and that of the cameras that followed him around.
He and his wife, Kelly, came up with an alter ego, "Sam Chefron," who hailed from Mason, Ohio.
Sam, the story went, was a game-show contestant with dreams of opening his own restaurant.
"I really had to stay in character all week," Bozsum said. "I was Sam."
Bozsum said he was amazed at how well many patrons know the casino employees who serve them. He hopes that connection came across in the show.
The extended Bozsum family will gather at home in Rhode Island to watch the episode for the first time Friday night. Many of Mohegan Sun's screens will be tuned to the same channel.
What: "Undercover Boss"
Who: Mohegan Tribal Councilor Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum goes undercover at Mohegan Sun and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.
When: 8 p.m. Friday, CBS

From the best-selling author of Drive and A Whole New Mind comes a surprising - and surprisingly useful - new book that explores the power of selling in our lives.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than 15 million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase.
But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight.
Whether we're employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others. Like it or not, we're all in sales now.
To Sell Is Human offers a fresh look at the art and science of selling. As he did in Drive and A Whole New Mind, Daniel H. Pink draws on a rich trove of social science for his counterintuitive insights. He reveals the new ABCs of moving others (it's no longer "Always Be Closing"), explains why extroverts don't make the best salespeople, and shows how giving people an "off-ramp" for their actions can matter more than actually changing their minds.
Along the way, Pink describes the six successors to the elevator pitch, the three rules for understanding another's perspective, the five frames that can make your message clearer and more persuasive, and much more. The result is a perceptive and practical book - one that will change how you see the world and transform what you do at work, at school, and at home.

Businessman, Technologist, Marketer. Loves to learn and enjoys books. Mostly nonfiction plus historic novels.
"Lenghty book with a few solid tips on persuation"
I had very high expectations for Daniel Pink, maybe that's the problem.
The first section of the book is all bout why we are all in sales. It could have been done in 2 minutes. Big waste of time. People who don't value sales and the need for persuation would not buy this book in the first place. You can skip those chapters.
The second part is more interesting. The whole premise is centered in ABC selling: atunement, buoyancy and connection. Good concepts. Daniel could have said: listening, optiimsm/passion and connection. Much simpler.
Some discussions are lenghty: you could listen to a whole chapter to get one nugget of knowledge of varying levels of usefulness. Still, it's a good book, but not at the top of my list.
The narration is clear, although after a while it feels a bit too stron (like the author is yelling at you), but it's not a major concern. If you can find a 5 page summary of this book, you would probably get 90% of its value.
Audible obsessed lifelong learner.
"The salesman in us all"
The main take away from this book for me was to search for the right questions to ask to drive for understanding rather then on providing answers to the known questions. A second big take away was to surprise the customer by up service via giving them more than expected rather than focusing on up selling. I loved the Jeff Bezos meeting policy of always having an empty chair at the table during meetings to represent the customer to ensure their views and needs have a commanding voice at the table.
"What a waste of money."
No. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Biography of Winston Churchill.
This was a business book. What he did do is waste my time. This at best should have been a three page article in a magazine.
Utter disappointment. In fact, the further removed from the book, the more I realize what a waste it was.
I don't think this book adds much. Keep your money.
Tell us about yourself!
"Not for salespeople!"
Motivation not stats! I don't think I will be able to finish this. It is boring!, This is not for salespeople or someone who understands that we are all in sales.
More motivational, more sales techniques
He didn't, the content was just not what I was looking for.
"90% inert filler. Author can do better"
This is a smart guy, and somewhere in here is useful information. But _so_ much filler, so much is useless and repeated constantly. What would have been a brilliant essay is puffed up to a "business book". Try starting at Chapter 7 where the "useful" concentration goes a bit higher.
"Great Social Science Book"
I'm 2/3rds through this book and I'm already ready to give it five stars. Daniel Pink has great insight into the social sciences, and he applies them superbly to selling in this audiobook.
His stories are engaging and his style brings the characters he introduces to life.
When he explained why you need to link selling to experiences instead of product features, I could feel the light bulb above my head.
Great audiobook.
I am an avid listener. I listen between 75-100 hours per month on my iPhone: 60% fiction to 40% non-fiction.
"Evolutionary Assertions codified form the 2010s"
Pink's central premise is that most people sell in one way or another and that many of our conceptions about selling are not true or only barely so. For example, extroverts do not make the best sales people – ambiverts do. If you want to know what an ambivert is, you'll have to listen to the book yourself. I have read dozens of business books and most of them can be condensed down to two or three central ideas and the rest of the work is really window dressing. Pink's book is not packed with antidotal evidence and arcnae stories supporting his points; rather he attempts to support his opinions with research and a smattering of statistics or at least hinting that statistical evidence exists.
I purchased a hardcopy so I could make notes in the margin. On balance, I think this and Drive, his previous book, are pretty good and worth the listen. I thought Drive was better but To Sell is Human has a number of good tips that if practiced may increase your sales effectiveness.
"I see why people recommend this book"
The book comes at a great time in my professional career where I need to learn to sell my ideas better. Very intellectual as well as practical.
The author reads in such a way that keeps your attention and the flow is very easy to follow for an audio book. I plan on listening to another one Daniel Pink's books.
"Must read for everyone in sales, which is all of us"
I loved this book. So many great and immediately applicable nuggets of information in this book. I may just read it again to capture all the learnings.
Highly recommended!
"the voice gets numbing"
content is good. The voice performance makes me feel that everything is equally punctuated. Its my.advice to take it one chapter at a time.

As NBA players look for competitive outlets with the league currently shut down, a game between all-star teams from two prominent summer leagues -- the Drew League in Los Angeles and the Goodman League in Washington, D.C. -- is being planned for Aug. 20 at McDonough Arena at Georgetown University.
The event, branded "Capital Punishment," was announced Wednesday on a new website (via the Washington Post). It was first reported by SI.com.
The Drew League will put a team on the court that includes Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings, Oklahoma City's James Harden, Toronto's DeMar DeRozan, Golden State's Dorell Wright, Washington's Nick Young and JaVale McGee, Sacramento's Pooh Jeter and the Los Angeles Clippers' Craig Smith, according to the release on the website.
The Goodman League's squad looks better on paper with Washington's John Wall, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, Denver's Ty Lawson, Sacramento's Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins, Minnesota's Michael Beasley, Memphis' Sam Young and Josh Selby, San Antonio's Gary Neal.
In addition to the locked-out NBA players, the rosters will also include some streetballers.
Durant, SI reported, came up with the idea for the game when he visited and participated in the Drew League on June 20. Drew League commissioner Oris "Dino" Smiley said ESPN has expressed interest in televising the game, according to SI. ESPN told Sporting News that there have been some preliminary discussions about airing the game, but so far there are no plans to cover it.
The press release reads in part, "Let the trash talking begin. This game is not about the money. It's not about a contract. And it sure ain't about a lockout. It's about pride. It's about respect. It's about repping your city. And it's about bragging rights. Reputations will be made, and reputations will be lost. The countdown to CAPITAL PUNISHMENT has begun. Call it what you want, but it all goes down Saturday night, August 20th, 2011, at 6:30pm, LIVE, from historic McDonough Gymnasium on the campus of Georgetown University. This game will be historic. Don't miss any of the action as the best basketball players from Los Angeles' famed Drew League face off against the best basketball players from Washington D.C.'s legendary Goodman League. Summer bragging rights are on the line as The Basketball Channel presents the ultimate pro-am summer league showdown, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT."

And the Award for Worst Award Goes to…Planned Parenthood
- By Alliance Defending Freedom
- Posted Jul 11, 2014
- No Comments »
By Eric Porteous, Director of Digital Marketing
I've received a few awards in my lifetime, most of them being trophies that collected dust on my bedroom bookcase. And while I've never been a huge fan of movie, music, or sports awards shows, I certainly know the basic idea behind them.
Awards are for greatness.
Awards are for excellence.
Awards recognize people who make our society a better place.
So, it struck me as odd to find out that Planned Parenthood, of all places, actually gives out awards. In fact, they give them out to clinics that exceed their abortion quotas! Could you imagine what that award show would look like?
"Welcome to the 2014 Abortion Awards."
"And now…the award for excellence in destroying human life. The nominees are…"
"I'd like to thank all of the fetuses who made this possible…"
It is classless, and frankly gross, to hand out awards for something that deliberately ends the life of a human being. And yet, Planned Parenthood thinks it's perfectly normal and good, despite claiming that abortion makes up only 3% of its services. But if abortion only makes up 3% of its services, then why have quotas and why bother awarding clinics that exceed those quotas? Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on the other 97% of its services?
Maybe there's more to the story.
According to Sue Thayer, a former Planned Parenthood manager, "For my clinic specifically, we were required to perform 1,135 abortions per year, so we're selling those abortions to pregnant women who are coming in. At Planned Parenthood, one of their mottos is that every telephone call and every client visit must be turned into a revenue generating visit. Well, the only way to make a profit off a pregnant woman is to sell her an abortion, because Planned Parenthood doesn't provide any prenatal care."
While abortions supposedly make up only 3% of Planned Parenthood's services, they actually make up over 50% of patient fees. Maybe that's why Planned Parenthood is so eager to award clinics who exceed abortion quotas: more abortions = more money.
But human life should never be degraded to a dollar sign.
It's time to investigate their plan and put an end to this nonsense. Learn and share the facts about Planned Parenthood with your family, friends, and more.
After all, human life is great.
Human life is excellent.
And human life is the greatest award God has given each of us.

Anne W. Patterson
Anne Woods Patterson (born 1949) is an American diplomat and career Foreign Service Officer. She currently serves as the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. She previously served as United States Ambassador to Egypt until 2013 and as United States Ambassador to Pakistan from July 2007 to October 2010.[1]
Patterson was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She attended The Hockaday School in Dallas, Texas. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Wellesley College and attended graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for one year. Patterson is married to David R. Patterson, a retired Foreign Service officer. The couple have two children.[4]
Patterson entered the Foreign Service in 1973.[4]
She served as a US State Department Economic Officer and Counselor to Saudi Arabia from 1984 to 1988 and then as a Political Counselor at the United States Mission to the United Nations in Geneva from 1988 to 1991.[4]
Patterson served as State Department Director for the Andean Countries from 1991 to 1993. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs from 1993 to 1996.[4]
Patterson served as United States Ambassador to El Salvador from 1997 to 2000, and then as United States Ambassador to Colombia from 2000 to 2003.[4] While ambassador to Colombia, Patterson and U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone were the alleged targets of a failed bomb plot while on an official visit to the Colombian town of Barrancabermeja.[5] From 2003 to 2004 Patterson served as Deputy Inspector General of the US State Department.[4]
In August 2004, Patterson was appointed Deputy U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Patterson became acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations after John Danforth resigned, effective January 20, 2005. An extended delay in the confirmation of John R. Bolton by the Senate (ending when Bolton assumed the position on August 1, 2005, after a recess appointment) caused Patterson to serve as interim permanent representative longer than expected.[6]
Patterson became Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs on November 28, 2005, serving until May 2007. President George W. Bush appointed Patterson as the United States Ambassador to Pakistan after Ryan Crocker left that post to become Ambassador to Iraq. She served in Pakistan between July 2007 and October 2010.[3]
In May 2011 U.S. President Obama nominated Patterson to be the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt.[7] On June 30, 2011, the United States Senate confirmed Patterson by unanimous consent to be the United States Ambassador to Egypt.[8]
During the protests that ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi from power on July 3, 2013 Patterson was singled out specially by the protesters for being too close to Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.[9]
On August 1, 2013, Patterson was nominated to serve as the assistant secretary of state in the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, which oversees the Middle East. Secretary of State John Kerry has recommended that Robert S. Ford serve as the next American ambassador to Egypt.[10]

Hello everyone,
I don't know about you.... but when Thanksgiving rolls around something inside me just bursts and I begin humming Christmas tunes, watching Elf a million times, making my gift list, and decorating my mini-Christmas tree (complete with pink lights and decorations of course). This year is no exception. This post is... well... you guessed it... all about the upcoming holiday! The timing of Thanksgiving and Christmas break at CU is THE WORST. We have a wonderful week off for Thanksgiving (except teachers insist on assinging work that's due afterwards) and then we come back from break and have literally 3 weeks before our month-long Xmas break! The 3 weeks are hell too... finals... projects... and all I can seem to think about is baking cookies, wathcing movies, sipping hot cocoa, and DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. That's currently my state-of-mind right now... instead of working on two projects due this week and next; I am going to list for you my top five favorite Christmas songs complete with my favorite holiday cookie recipe and one cute/inexpensive gift idea for friends.... feel free to try them out this year! :)
Top 5 favorite Christmas songs:
1.) Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt (the original)
2.) I'll Be Home for Christmas by Frank Sinatra
3.) Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
4.) All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey
5.) Please Come Home for Christmas by The Eagles
..... Bonus: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by N*Sync (Be sure to check out the CHEESY music video.... I die laughing every time)
Favorite Christmas Cookie Recipe:
Eating Well Magazine's Ginger Crinkle Cookies..... they are the best with a warm cup of coffe or cocoa! The perfect amount of spicy and sweet.
..... Bonus: Every year my mom and I make white chocolate snack mix. It is SO addicting and it is the perfect treat to whip up for lots of people. We always make a bunch then put some in decorative containers and give them to people!
Inexpensive Gift for Friends:
As young adults we all know how hard it is to buy gifts for EVERYONE... friends, family, etc.. so for the holidays (even birthdays and other special occasions) I like making homemade gift baskets. There are THOUSANDS of possibilities and they are so easy and cheap to make. Try to focus on a theme for your basket or for that person. For example, if I am making a basket for my best friend, I would be sure to include the things she loves--a gift card to get a pedicure, a Starbucks card so she can pick up coffee on the way to her pedicure... etc. For guys, same thing. Focus on what the person likes or make a themed gift basket, such as "Sports Night" where you include tickets to a game, a gift card to eat out somewhere before or after, etc... They are a lot of fun to make and you can be as creative as you want! Plus YOU set the price limit... here are a few I really like...
(This is a book gift basket-include a person's favorite reads, a mug, coffee/tea and they are set! You could also do the same thing with a person's favorite magazines.)
(All the makings for a delicious meal! They even placed them in a new strainer... pretty clever!)
I hope everyone has a happy holiday season and hopefully you'll spread some cheer and great ideas as well! :)

Caught in the act! iPhone thief
ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- An unknown suspect was caught on camera Valentine's Day taking a charging iPhone from a restaurant.
The victim and his wife were out to eat at the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant at 1940 Wells Road when he plugged his iPhone into an outlet where they were seated, according to a report from the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
When the couple left, the victim accidentally left his phone plugged in, the report detailed.
The victim returned to Buffalo Wild Wings, about 20-minutes later and the phone was gone.
The store manager provided the CCSO with surveillance video of the night in question, according to the report.
An unknown male suspect is seen on the video taking the phone from where it was charging. The suspect was wearing a black shirt ad brown shorts at the time of the theft.

Donnie Darko was one of those movies I'd heard about from people
I respect, but never got around to actually watching until about five
weeks ago.
About fifteen years ago, I watched a special about MST3K, which included an interview with Joel Hodgson. Joel said, "When we write our jokes, we don't ask ourselves, 'will anyone get this?' we say to ourselves, 'the right people will get this.'" That stuck with me, because I interpreted Joel's words as advice to go for the smart humor, or the obscure-but-rewarding-reference, rather than dumbing everything down so nobody feels left out.
So what does that have to do with Donnie Darko? I felt like the filmmakers didn't worry about making a blockbuster that would please everyone in the audience, and instead gave us a challenging, complex, dark and unique film, just like Joel and his gang weren't afraid to give us comedy that we didn't always get, but rewarded our intelligence when we did.
A couple of nights ago, I watched a movie which was recommended to me because I liked Donnie Darko so much, and I think a lot of WWdN readers would also like it. The film is called Primer.
It's the story of two friends who successfully build a time machine, what they do with it, and how they deal with the consequences. It was made for $7000, and won the Grad Jury and Alfred P. Sloan prizes at Sundance last year.
If you've seen Primer, please don't discuss specifics in comments (you know what I mean) because it could really trash the movie for everyone else.

You don't have to be a "person of influence" to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.*
It's research roundup time again and this week's insights compilation covers consumer's influence trends, business travel and the role of social media, stats on teen and college student social networking usage, consumers and mobile internet, and data on how women are shaping the internet:
- Among the findings of the newly released 2010 Cone Online Influence Trend Tracker, American consumers are no longer taking the recommendations of family or friends at face value. Before deciding whether to purchase recommended products or services, 81% of consumers will go online to verify those recommendations, specifically through researching product/service information (61%), reading user reviews (55%) or searching ratings websites (43%)
- According to American Express Business Travel eXpert insights Social Media in Business Travel Management report, half of US businesses use social media to support business travel management. 44% indicated that staying on top of the latest travel information was the most important social media benefit, followed closely by the interest in using social networking to learn and communicate best practices and reduce business travel costs at 43%
- 42% of Teens & College Students are Using Twitter but Facebook still reigns supreme above other social networks, with teens and college students spending an average of 11.4 hours per week on the site according to recent survey results from Ypulse Research to find out how teens and college students social networking has (and hasn't) changed over time
- Despite major concerns over privacy and data security, people around the world are rapidly adopting the mobile internet as an easy and convenient method of carrying out everyday transactions including banking and shopping. These insights come from "Consumers and Convergence IV", the fourth edition of a regular survey examining how consumers use technology, carried out by KPMG. Compared with only 18 months ago, the global percentage of respondents who have used their mobile device for banking has more than doubled from 19% to 46%, while the percentage that have used it to buy goods and services has gone from 10% to 28%
- Women on the Web: How Women are Shaping the Internet, a global report from comScore, found social networking sites reach a higher percentage of women than men globally, with 75.8% of all women online visiting a social networking site in May 2010 versus 69.7% of men
That will do it for this week. If you'd like to suggest a research report theme for the weekly roundup or if you come across any studies/reports/statistics you'd like to share, please feel free to leave a comment, send an email, or tweet us.

Lisa Garner Santa
Lisa Garner Santa currently serves as Artist-Performer and Associate Professor of Flute at Texas Tech University where she enjoys a diverse career as teacher, recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician. Performance highlights include the world premiere of Mike Mower's Concerto for Flute and Wind Ensemble and a Carnegie Hall debut recital featuring Chamber Works for Flute.
Rêver en Couleurs (Dreaming in Color): French Music for Solo Flute and Piano, presented in collaboration with Gabriel Sanchez, is her most recent CD release on MSR Classics:
"I am quite taken [with this disc]...It is all magnificent music, played with finesse. The flutist has the kind of tone I prefer - rich, colorful, perfectly in control, and always in tune. Her phrasing is all well-shaped and thoughtful, just what this elegant music deserves. Sanchez is an equal partner. [Garner Santa] is a truly remarkable artist with dazzling musical ability. Flutists and non-flutists alike should find this wonderful disc. I look forward to hearing more from this duo."
- American Record Guide - May / June 2008
Her 2004 CD release of From Noon to Starry Night, a compilation of 20th Century chamber works for flute and piano (with TTU Faculty, Lora Deahl, piano), has also received outstanding reviews:
"The title track (From Noon to Starry Night by Matthew Santa)...is a wonderful addition to the flute repertoire...Garner's colors, vibrato use, and interpretations are excellent. This interesting, well-produced CD should be in every flutist's record collection."
- Flute Talk, April 2005
"gorgeous - flat-out gorgeous...a true artist. It serves me and 'All the Words' EXTREMELY well."
- Dan Welcher - Composer
As an active member of the National Flute Association, Dr. Garner Santa has been a featured performer at the Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, Nashville, and Kansas City conventions. She has served as adjudicator and/or coordinator for many NFA events and competitions including the High School Soloist Competition, the NFA Newly Published Music Competition, the NFA Professional Flute Choir Competition, as the General Competitions Coordinator, and as NFA Convention Associate Program Chair for the 2002 convention. Currently, she serves the NFA as Program Chair for the 2011 convention to be held in Charlotte, NC, August 11-14.
Lisa Garner Santa's versatile programming ranges from the elegant Baroque music of Bach to the jazz-inspired writings of Mike Mower. Her passion for contemporary flute repertoire was sparked over a decade ago by the early flute works of Lowell Liebermann, which was the topic of her dissertation. Since then, she has become a leader in the effort to expand and promote new music by performing and commissioning works from young as well as established composers including Warner Hutchison, Matthew Santa, Mike Mower, Teresa LeVelle, and Peter Fischer as well as Derek Bermel as a member of the Flute/Clarinet Duos Consortium. As a pedagogue, Lisa Garner Santa presents masterclasses throughout the United States and abroad. Recent international exchanges include masterclasses at the Royal College of Music in London, England and Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand.
