I Talk With My Hands
Recently I whipped up a few videos for the website. In fact, my last post featured one of those videos, and luckily I had a weapon to handle the whole time. Something I noticed during my open hand videos is that I make a lot of hand gestures naturally throughout the course of my conversation.
I also noticed that my voice goes up into a high pitch sometimes, which is annoying. Sorry.
But anyway, I do a lot of gesticulation. Once I started thinking about it, I realized that this is no accident at all. Whenever I discuss self defense with students, I always talk about putting yourself at a safe distance and keeping something (i.e. your hands) in between you and your opponent. This will greatly increase your ability to quickly react and defend. One of the best ways to have your hands up naturally and without drawing attention to it is to have "talking hands" while you interact with people.
Not too long ago I was watching Goeff Thompson (proud owner of The Fence), and he made the very same point. In fact, he took it one step further and claimed that if you don't train your fence to be natural and part of your communication process, it won't serve as well as possible in times of stress. Good fence technique, he explains, can be a subtle controlling factor that causes your opponent to feel at a loss, and puts you in ideal body position to defend yourself.
Next week I'll post a video that discusses bunkai, and you'll be able to see my hand jiving in action.
Do you have a good natural fence that flows with your conversation?

Eku Bo Fighting Theory and Application
The Eku Bo (aka Eiku Bo, Ekku Bo, Kai Bo) is a very interesting weapon. It is a traditional implement of Okinawan Kobudo, but not many systems have passed down its proper use and technique.
I'd like to share with you a video I created describing Eku Bo combat theory and application. In the video I talk about handling the weapon, how it differs in usage from other weapons, controlling it properly, and more. I also demonstrate at the end a bit of randori (freestyle kumite) to show how the blocking and attacking movements can be utilized.
Throughout the video you'll hear the lovely pitter patter of Danzan Ryu Jujutsu in the background. This is a live working dojo alright!
The Eku is a devastating weapon and can generate astounding amounts of power!
More or Less?
I hope you enjoyed the video, and please help me decide if I should continue integrating these into my normal writing routine. Vote in the poll below as to whether or not this was interesting and helpful, and please include any thoughts and questions in the comments section.

The Perpetual Need For Self Defense
**I'd like to send some initial credit to Kris Wilder at The Striking Post for exposing me to the video in this post. He and I share some similar ideas in our analysis as well, so credit to him and his commenters for a thoughtful discussion.**
As society continues to grow and mature, there is more and more emphasis on anti-violence. This, of course, is good in theory. In a perfect world there would be no violence thrust upon anyone and no need for anyone to know violence.
We don't live in a perfect world though and the struggle to balance violence against non-violence is messy.
Interestingly, we are told (as proper citizens) to not take matters into our own hands. We are prompted not to fight back and instead seek out authority figures who are authorized to deal with bad situations. Furthermore, as technology and communication increases, it is expected that we be in quicker contact with the authorities (and thus have less reason not to rely on them).
In an effort to drill violent behavior out of the minds of children, schools have enacted severe rules and regulations both for students who fight and for students who defend themselves. Frequently if two youths get into a fight they are both punished equally, regardless of circumstance. Teachers are put into an equally awkward position as laying a finger on a student, even if trying to break up a scuffle, can potentially land them in hot water. Children and teachers alike are often resigned to become watchful bystanders.
Bystander freeze (similar to the bystander effect) extends to more than just schools – people everywhere understand the trouble with getting involved in a violent altercation.
When all of these factors come together, you end up with situations like in the following video. A young girl spending time in a Metro Bus Tunnel gets attacked. Meanwhile, three security guards who are literally five feet away do nothing to intervene, and neither do any bystanders.
On an individual basis, it was probably "smart" for people not to intervene because now they can't be held liable. Imagine if you pulled the attacker off the other girl and hurt her in the process. Let's assume you have martial arts experience and she has a semi-decent lawyer. You can bet you'd be in trouble for assaulting a minor, using excessive force, etc etc.
This is reality and it is a part of our culture. That's why it has never been more critical to develop high levels of self defense skill. You need to rely on yourself for protection as bystander freeze is a strong phenomenon. Even security and authority personnel are not immune.
I also recommend people learn non-fistic forms of self defense in addition to percussive striking. From a legal standpoint, closed fisted strikes are often equated with willing violence and receive repercussion, but controls/locks/subtle-strikes are less obvious.
Of course you also need to make sure you have the ability to cause destruction quickly. As Shaka Zulu (the martial artist) said: "I will start with the mindset that I am going to kill you. Then, if I don't have to, I will de-escalate". I believe it's necessary to have the ability to both maim and control, and have it be a naturally integrated form of self expression.
It is possible to look passive and yet be devastating.
Everybody has to decide for themselves what they are willing to risk to defend themselves, their loved ones, and complete strangers. But it's wise to understand the possible ramifications of relying solely on others for that protection.

NFL: New England Patriots lose Shane Vereen to injury; won't return until week 11 at earliest
New England Patriots running back Shane Vereen has been placed on injured reserve with designation to return.
Last Updated: 11/09/13 7:01am
Vereen broke a small bone in his left wrist while piling up 101 yards on 14 carries during New England's season-opening win over Buffalo Bills.
Under league rules, the earliest Vereen can return from IR is his team's week 11 trip to Carolina Panthers (Monday, Nov 18). He would have been eligible to play in week 10 but the Patriots are on their bye.
The Patriots play on Thursday night in week two against New York Jets and are waiting on the fitness of wide receiver Danny Amendola (groin).
Meanwhile, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $100,000 by the NFL for his hit on Minnesota Vikings centre John Sullivan during the Lions' 34-24 win in week one.

South Africa and Brazil ratified an agreement in late July to proceed with the development of a new air-to-air missile, understood to be an evolution of Denel Aerospace Systems' A-Darter within-visual-range design.
Details of the agreement come as Brazil, India and South Africa engage in high-level talks about options for trilateral missile development programmes, including beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles (BVRAAM) and long-range air-to-surface weapons, on the back of strengthening political ties.
South African state armaments agency Armscor says that while developing the nation's missile capabilities remains an important strategic priority, the country continues to face financial pressures that limit its development options. "[Missiles are] an area where we have got a problem: it is so difficult to sustain and do it on your own," says Armscor chief executive Sipho Thomo.
Trilateral links with Brazil and India are evolving into a "block of countries where we tend now to do the funding of missile development and other things", Thomo says. "We are beginning to do them together, because we cannot afford on our own the cost of those developments."
Thomo confirms that he signed a co-operation agreement with Brazil in late July, but declines to identify the design involved. "There is a project that we are pushing with Brazil for missile development," he says, adding: "It is an air-to-air missile."
Brazil is understood to have committed funding worth $52 million to the project. Details of the South African backing remain unknown, although well-placed sources say that in addition to direct allocations from the Department of Defence and South African National Defence Force, money is also coming from the nation's Department of Trade and Industry.
Any trilateral effort could have a direct impact on South African Air Force plans to introduce a BVRAAM weapon into operational service on its Gripen International Gripen fighters in the 2012-15 timeframe. An acquisition process for a new missile is scheduled to start in 2010.
The air force is now conducting in-country development activities using its first of 28 Gripens.

Dr. Greg & Milledue II go "HOME" to Hemet, California...
View Single Post
Dr. Greg
Tryin' to get home..
Joined: Nov 2005
Location: ABQ, New Mexico
Oddometer: 1,290
Day 4: Sightseeing (if it can be called that) around Hemet, California
As I said earlier, having retired last year, I've decided to write my "memoir" covering the period 1947--1973: this is from my birth (whoopee!) to the year I met Mrs. Greg. This period covers a lotta stuff in U.S. History, and I just felt like I wanted to chronicle what growing up during this period in small-town Southern California was like.
As I was finding out (as if I didn't know)---SoCal ain't like that anymore.
My host Steve had agreed to drive me around the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley in search of places of interest to me.
This day's activity (and the next, for that matter) will probably not be of much interest to most of you. Please bear with me, and in a couple days I'll be back on the road headed back to New Mexico...
Some Places in Hemet that I Remember...
Before we had left another ol' buddy of mine---Tommy---(yeah, I've got a bunch of 'em out Hemet way) showed up at Steve's place, and we all chatted for a while. Got a pic of all of us old geezers below: L-R there's Steve, Dr. Greg, and Tommy (note for the sharp-eyed: Dr. Greg wearing 2007 WestFest T-shirt).
Tommy was able to recount a number of stories about stopping in at my folks' store (my parents ran a "mom-and-pop" store/gas station in the area for a couple decades) and talking to my Dad about car stuff...those memories were
what I was in search of on this trip. Thanks, Tommy!
I can't resist putting an old photo of my dad (the legendary "Duke" Starr) behind the cash register at "the store" back around 1958...what a great picture (IMHO)! Those were the days...
Here's our first stop: the house I grew up in on "Elmwood Street" in Hemet...
My folks moved into this house in 1951 when it was newly built. My Dad put in a beautiful front (and back) lawn, my Mom put in a bunch of roses out front. It was all shiny and new! Well, what did I expect? The neighborhood is pretty rough, too. Three scroungy-looking young "hoodlums" were walking down the middle of the street, too. Sigh. Well, it'll come back "shiny and new" in my memoir...
Next stop was over in San Jacinto (about 3 miles north) at my grandparents' house back in the early 50s. I have fond memories of my grandma fixing me lunch, and my grandad showing me 8x10 glossy photos from his days as mine foreman back in Oklahoma...
I learned to ride a bicycle along the street (Estudillo Ave.) in front of this house. It actually didn't look too bad. Tiny little house, too...ah, the memories.
Here's the front view of "Alessandro Elementary School" where I learned to read. Looks a little tougher now...
And here's the "playground" outside Alessandro Elementary...used to be dirt; I remember playing "kickball" here. And I remember something else, too...
About 2nd grade (circa 1953) one day after school a girl (Bertha Dudley) said she'd pull down her pants over at the side of the playground. Well, naturally all of us boys were excited. I guess she did, but there were so many boys clustered around that I couldn't see much. I think she moved away sometime during the next few years...
Lunch With a Bunch of Old Geezers
Steve and I barely got back in time for me to take some medication (you know you're getting old when your "medication bag" is the biggest bag you carry on a trip), then head for a nearby restaurant to meet some more "ol' buddies." It was so nice of Steve to organize this.
Well, here's the pic of all of us:
Man, looks like some of 'em are one step from the graveyard!
Near camera, there's Steve (L) and Steve's son Travis behind him, Tom (R), with Dr. Greg behind him. No point in going through them all. The guy behind Travis (violet shirt) is Eldon, who was a big football star at Hemet High School, and later San Jose State. We'll see Eldon at his place tomorrow.
Just a bunch of hardworkin' guys. I had a great time there. So glad I made the trip.
An Afternoon Ride
Actually I lied about the lack of motorcycle content: I did take a ride by myself that afternoon. Headed off east on CA 74 up to Mountain Center. I know that road like the back of my hand; in fact, I know all the roads in the San Jacinto Mountains like the back of my hand. Used to humiliate fratboys in Porsche 911s when I had my 1965 Shelby GT-350 Mustang (sold in 1974 for $3,700---you can kill me now)
Had a fun ride up that road on Milledue, a little bit slower than I used to (that GT-350 stuck pretty well), but still fun. Instead of turning off to Idyllwild I kept on 74, which eventually goes down to Palm Springs (and is a pretty good ride). Snapped this pic somewhere around Garner Valley, before I took 371 down to Anza.
On thru Anza and Aguanga to "Sage Road" (formerly CA 79) which is a delightfully twisty-turny roller-coaster of a road. On March 30, 1972 I was cycling with two good friends (I used to be a bicycle racer) on Sage Road when a pickup truck took us all out. Killed my best friend, broke my femur, radius/ulna, 2-weeks in a coma. Spent two months in traction (orthopedic surgery wasn't as advanced back then).
But notwithstanding that, Sage Road is still a
great ride.
Just beware of one particularly nasty downhill, decreasing-radius corner. DAMHIK.
Well, that pretty much concluded my Hemet Valley sightseeing. The next day I had plans to take the "back way" down to Fallbrook (northern San Diego County) to see Jerry, another ol' buddy I hadn't seen since I was back in Arkansas on a trip around 1975.
Screw Jack, Anyone?
Turns out that my host Steve has kind of become an expert in resurrecting "screw jacks." Any of you morons know what a "screw jack" is? Didn't think so; here's a pic of a matched pair:
If anyone is interested in a nice screw jack, I can put ya in touch with Steve!
Well, I'm tired of writing for the moment. See ya again soon with more SoCal gems

Bobby Valentine used a unique motivational tactic to get Matt Albers focused during Friday night's game. During a visit to the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning, Valentine slapped Albers (lightly) across the face before turning and heading back to the dugout. It appears to have worked, too, since Albers struck out the next batter he faced on three pitches. See the slap below in this animation.

1. With the loss Illinois falls to 7-8 and just about guarantees a Big Ten finish no better than 6th. The top five teams in the conference all have at least 10 conference wins. Michigan is two games back of Indiana and one back of Michigan State.
2. Illinois had just seven assists on 21 made baskets. The Illini are 340th of 347 Division I teams in assist rate. They've been under 40% in seven of 15 Big Ten games, and are averaging an assist on 43% of their made baskets for the season.
3. Trey Burke became the 7th Michigan sophomore to reach 1,000 points scored. He scored 26 points off just 11 shots, and had eights assists to one turnover. In the past three games he is 16-26 on 2s (62%), 8-12 on 3s (67%) and has 17 assists to 3 turnovers.
4. Illinois scored zero fast break points. Michigan scored 10.
5. Michigan won 71-58 in a 62 possession game. Illinois was held to 0.935 points per possession, which was their worst offense in their past eight games. They've only scored fewer per possession three times this season.

It is far easier to test Mersenne numbers for primality than general integers, thanks to the Lucas-Lehmer primality test. Weeding out composite Mersenne numbers by trial factoring is also faster, thanks to a theorem that eliminates most of the candidate factors.
As for numbers of the form 2^n+1, it's easy to show that if 2^n+1 is prime, then n must be a power of two. Such numbers are known as Fermat numbers, and there is also a fast primality test (Pepin's test) for numbers of this form. But because of the power of two in the exponent, each Fermat number is double the size (in terms of the number of digits) of the previous one. It doesn't take long before you exceed current computing capabilities. And so far, all the Fermat numbers we've managed to test have turned out to be composite, apart from the first five. Furthermore, it is conjectured that there are only finitely many Fermat primes, so it's possible we've already found them all.

In what Madoff victims count as an early victory, the IRS eased its rules on theft losses to allow Ponzi scheme victims to claim tax dedications on the majority of their losses, enabling Ebel and others to collect refunds.
• Weld, the Republican former governor, hired Lanny Davis, special White House counsel to President Clinton, to lobby on his behalf. Weld alleges that an Education Department official unfairly triggered the demise of a trade college run by Weld. He has spent $50,000 on lobbying, records show.
Weld, a federal prosecutor in the 1980s, had led a criminal investigation against the former employer of the Department of Education official whose office supervised the Kentucky-based Decker College. Weld claims that an accreditation agency canceled its approval of Decker's programs under pressure from the official. When Decker lost accreditation, it fell into bankruptcy. Davis wants the department to investigate.
U.S. Department of Education spokesman Justin Hamilton told USA TODAY that the official's work was "unbiased" and said department officials "do not plan on taking any further steps."
For his part, Weld said he has discovered the limits of his political influence. "It's been very frustrating because you can't get answers," he said. "I had been accustomed to getting answers. But I guess when you are out, you are out."
Anderson, 44, a political newcomer, has seen his idea take off. On the recommendation of a business contact, he hired Larry LaRocco, a former Idaho Democratic congressman-turned-lobbyist.
LaRocco and a lawyer with banking experience helped turn the idea into a legislative proposal, which LaRocco took to aides on a House subcommittee that oversees consumer-credit issues. Ohio Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, a first-term Democrat, sponsored the bill. "People who are paying off medical debt should not be penalized," she said.
Not everyone supports the plan. Anne Fortney, a former Federal Trade Commission official who has testified against the change, said unpaid bills, including medical debts, that require the intervention of a collection agency help lenders predict whether consumers will pay future bills on time.
Anderson insists he's pursuing the project to help average people, such as Doug Wickwire, 57, from Lucas, Texas, who co-owns a company that builds trade-show exhibits. He discovered this year that he would be hit with $8,500 in fees to refinance his home because of three paid medical collections, all less than $200. "I feel like I'm getting screwed around by the system," he said.
"Is it going to be good for business? Potentially," Anderson said of the bill. "Am I going to make up my investment? Probably not."
LaRocco, who has lobbied for more than a decade, said he has never represented a private citizen before. Anderson has proved a quick study, going from political novice to checking the Library of Congress' bill-tracking site each day, LaRocco said. "Now, he calls me up to say, 'Hey, we've just added another co-sponsor.'

Andy Partridge and Mike Keneally began collaborating in '06 on a stellar new album
In turn, Keneally is thrilled to have worked with longtime musical hero Partridge.
"I was happy to let him drive the creative process and just about everything he suggested I would attempt," Keneally said. "I've never collaborated like this before and co-written so much music. I wanted to do right by Andy. In some ways the album was made for an audience of one, because my primary goal was to come up with something he liked."
Ultimately, though, credit for "Wing Beat Fantastic" becoming a reality goes to Zappa.
"I'm very glad I was in Frank's band at the time, because I'm sure I wouldn't have had the initiative to try and make contact with anyone in XTC," said Keneally, who credits ex-Zappa band mate Thunes for being "cheeky" enough to call XTC's record company to extend the invitation in 1988. "There was some heft behind the fact it was two members of Frank Zappa's band and that we weren't there playing with some obscure, post-punk band. So I'm grateful to Frank and Scott leading to my friendship with XTC."

Forget the bread. Ducks and geese on the Kingston waterfront are getting gourmet handouts these days, thanks to a series of new vending machines.
The machines, installed about a month ago, can be found in high-traffic areas for both the birds and people: two are at City Park, two are at 58 Landing and one is behind Bethel Presbyterian Church.
For 25 cents, the red-fronted machines will dispense a handful of nutritious pellets.

Shreveport-Bossier's Favorite Mardi Gras Krewe Is…
In January, we took it upon ourselves to find out which Mardi Gras krewe in Shreveport-Bossier City was the most popular. In 2013, the Krewe of Harambee took top honors. So who won in 2014?
In January, we took it upon ourselves to find out which Mardi Gras krewe in Shreveport-Bossier City was the most popular. In 2013, the Krewe of Harambee took top honors. So who won in 2014?
In honor of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, Kidd Kraddick in the Morning let the good times roll this morning with a Cajun accent challenge.
To most people, it's just Tuesday, but if you've ever spent any time in the great state of Louisiana, then you know it's Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras isn't just for people. It's for pooches, too. Just ask Lucky Spot Lucky Spot Kochenderfer, who's built up quite a reputation for himself in the local scene as a real party animal.
The Krewe of Highland Parade got an early start over the weekend because of the threat for severe weather. That nasty weather did arrive, but not until close to the end of the parade for many.
The Krewe of Highland has announced the parade will begin at 1 p.m.
There's a plethora of king cake flavors -- blueberry, lemon, strawberry and chocolate, to name a few. But one store has accidentally invented a brand new one.
There are a lot of notions on the beginnings of Mardi Gras, but what a lot of people don't realize is that it has a Catholic background.
Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras (aka Carnivale) is in full swing in New Orleans! Watch all the fun live.
Krewe of Centaur or Krewe of Gemini or the myriad of other parades in the SBC we love going to them all and tail gating here's some quick advice if you're not sure what to get before setting up camp!
The final party weekend for Shreveport-Bossier's 2014 Mardi Gras season is here! Make sure you tag any photos you upload to Instagram with #kreweofgemini or #kreweofhighland to share them instantly in the photo gallery below.
With the Krewe of Gemini set to roll this Saturday, March 1st, there are a few things the Shreveport Police Department wants to make you aware of to ensure a fun and safe parade day for everyone.

Our guest blogger today is CRM MVP David Jennaway, the technical director of Excitation Ltd, a Microsoft Gold Partner in the UK that specializes in delivering Microsoft CRM solutions.
CRM offers a range of options when designing a CRM solution for a customer, from providing a completely standard, 'out of the box' solution, to a heavily customised solution where CRM is considered as more of a development platform. In this article I'll discuss the broad customisation approaches, and examples of their use.
Before getting into detail, I think it'll be useful to explain my aims behind this post:
I have recently been spending time building design patterns based on direct and indirect experience of around 100 customer implementations of Dynamics. The primary aim of these design patterns is to be able to apply the experience gained as a company from these implementations to future implementations. The areas covered in this post form a basis for identifying approaches that can be taken, and the factor that influence some of the decisions.
This post is primarily concerned with what I term 'data design' – i.e. deciding on the data structures (as implemented by CRM entities, relationships and attributes), and the major functionality required of the design.
Don't expect black and white conclusions from this post. A common theme is that many approaches are possible, and an overall design typically incorporates several approaches. My main intention is to raise awareness that the different approaches exist, and to focus on what factors should most strongly influence the decisions you take.
What factors affect the design choices
Before getting to the different approaches, we need to consider what factors are most important when comparing different design approaches. Whenever we start a design for a customer, we have to be aware that each customer will put different emphasis on these factors.
Benefits of using existing entities and functionality
There are many benefits to be had from using the built-in CRM entities, and their associated functionality. Little or no development time is required, the functionality is documented in the online help and other training materials, and additional components like the reports that ship with CRM can be used immediately.
Conversely, if you create custom entities, you may need to invest development time to provide specific functionality. You may need to invest time and effort in customising the CRM online help, or developing other training material that describes the custom entities and their use. If you want to report on the custom entities you will have to write new reports, or spend time modifying the built-in reports.
However, you need to decide if the built-in entities and functionality are appropriate for your requirements...
Appropriateness of the solution
A major benefit of having a heavily customisable product like CRM is that it can be customised to meet different companies' needs. The main reason for customisation is to make the solution appropriate to your business requirements.
It is important to note that there is normally a trade-off between the extent of customisation, and the overhead of creating the customisations. If the built-in CRM entities do not map perfectly to your requirements and existing processes, then you may make the decision to adapt your requirements and/or processes, or you may decide to customise CRM to more closely fit your requirements.
Reusability of custom functionality or designs
3rd party add-ons are a classic example of how custom functionality can be reused, where the 3rd party invests the development effort in creating an add-on, and recoups (or hopes to) the cost by selling it many times.
Companies like ourselves that primarily sell CRM implementation services frequently aim for reuse, though sometimes in a less obvious way. A lot of the custom code we develop is intended for reuse, such that apparently custom functionality may already been developed, and will not need creating from scratch. A large part of my internal company work is around promoting such reuse.
Thinking of the future – maintaining flexibility
Any given design should work for a business in its current state, but what about that business in a year's time, or 2 years ? Requirements and processes change over time, and you should expect a solution that can accommodate these changes. Some future changes can be predicted, and others can't, but some customisation approaches result in a more flexible solution than others.
Also consider whether the business requirements and processes are stable, well known and understood at the start of the project. It is quite common for requirements to change during an implementation project, so again flexibility can be important.
Some CRM projects are conceived as a one-off implementation, after which little change is expected. Other projects take a more phased approach, where the overall solution is expected to be extended or modified after the initial implementation. In the latter scenario flexibility is more important.
The customisation approaches
An overall CRM solution often comprises different approaches in different areas of the solution; one approach does not need to be used across the board. For example, we almost always use the Account and Contact built-in entities in a standard way, but are more likely to use custom entities to handle fulfilment areas, using custom entities like Project, or Supplier.
Using built-in entities in a standard way
This is the ideal scenario, providing the built-in entities provide the functionality you want. Some, like the Account and Contact mentioned above, and also the activity entities, most often do provide the functionality you want. You'll typically add extra attributes and modify the forms and views, but the core functionality is appropriate in most circumstances.
However, there are often cases where the built-in entities don't work the way you do. You may decide to adapt your processes to fit the standard functionality, but it's more likely you'll take a more customised approach...
Extending the functionality of built-in entities
Often the built-in entities provide useful functionality, but it's not enough. Providing the functionality they provide does not actually interfere, or conflict, with what you want, then it makes sense to extend the built-in entities.
An example here is the sales entities, such as Quote and Order, and the associated Quote Product and Order Product child entities. The functionality around pricing and costs is frequently appropriate, but you may need additional attributes to break down the pricing into different areas on a product. You may then need to develop additional functionality to perform calculations on the data in these attributes.
Creating custom entities in addition to the built-in entities
It is often necessary to extend the CRM schema with new custom entities. Necessarily the examples become quite specific; probably the most common custom entity we create is a Project entity to manage delivery of services.
CRM does provide a fair bit of functionality for custom entities, such as support for workflow and association with activities, but more specific functionality may need to be written.
Creating custom entities to replace to the built-in entities
Sometimes you need functionality similar to that provided by the built-in entities, but it is sufficiently different to what you get out of the box that it becomes more appropriate to create custom entities instead.
This is typically the area where the trade-off between the factors covered earlier is most acute. You may make a decision to incur the additional implementation costs of creating new entities and functionality because the built-in entity functionality is too inappropriate to the way your business works.
An example of this is around the Opportunity and Opportunity Product entities, and the Product Catalog. The Product Catalog is flexible, but does have limitations when selling bespoke products or services, or when anticipated revenue over time periods is important. So, in some circumstances we effectively replace the product catalog and related entities with custom entities (e.g. an Item entity), and provide custom functionality to summarise numeric values across items, or transfer items from an opportunity to a quote or order. We have also gone further still, and replaced the opportunity, quote and order entities with custom entities.
Note that when I use the term replace, I'm referring to what the user sees in CRM. The typical implementation pattern is to remove all permissions from the built-in entities we 'replace' so that they don't appear in the CRM user interface – we don't actually remove them.
Repurposing built-in entities
There are some scenarios where you don't need an entity to provide the functionality it was intended for, but that functionality could be used in other ways. As entities can be renamed, and the text of CRM messages can be changed, it is possible to repurpose entities while keeping terminology in the CRM user interface consistent with the terminology used in your business
Any examples tend to be very specific and hence not very useful for a general post like this, but one worth explaining relates to the price list. One feature of the price list is that, when adding products to an opportunity, the products available for selection are those that have items on the selected price list. It is possible to repurpose the price list as a way of grouping products, and restricting what is available for selection, even if you don't actually use the pricing functionality of the price list.
A potentially significant drawback of this approach is that it can restrict your flexibility to make future design changes – using the above example you may not need the price list now, but how sure can you be that you won't need it in the future ?
Using 3rd party add-ons or off-the-shelf solutions
The approaches I've covered so far come from the premise that your solution is unique. However, there are areas where you can find an existing set of extensions or customisation that are appropriate. Several companies providing CRM implementation services specialise in a particular vertical market (e.g. banking), and can provide a set of standard set customisations that are appropriate to many companies in that market. As this post is concerned with data design, the more relevant example of a 3rd party is a provider of implementation services – if this post were concerned with designing specific functionality then add-on providers would be the more relevant example of a 3rd party.
If using 3rd party customisations then you still have to consider how appropriate they are to your business (to use the above example, not all banks work the same way). You may still need further customisations, and if you have to replace or modify the behaviour of purchased extensions, then the cost may be higher than if you had started from a standard CRM design.
The initial conclusion is that there normally isn't one answer; it is possible that several approaches can be viable, and as mentioned earlier, most overall solution designs we create use a combination of approaches.
But, I think choice is a good thing, and it's good to be aware of the alternatives. Ideally, given the relative weighting of the factor discussed earlier, and your specific business requirements, you will adopt the best approach(es) and the best solution, but it is often the case that you can get a successful implementation using one of several different solutions, using different approaches.
My personal view is that it is normally worthwhile customising CRM to meet your specific requirements. The customisation capabilities of CRM are very powerful, and if you have an implementation partner with solid experience customising CRM, then a lot can be achieved for relatively little cost. However, attention does need to be paid to the ramifications of heavy customisation, especially how it affects the training material and user documentation.

David, nice post! But isn't customization with a z?
Dear David,
I have read the Customisation Approaches and I saw that the CRM is limitated about Price List entity. I need to filter the Price List for different Areas but in is not possible to customize this entity adding an attribute or relationship N->1. Do you know how I can do it ?
thanks in advanced
David this is a great breakdown. I would like to know if you will be publishing your CRM design patterns or if they will solely be for internal use.

The Square Kilometre Array
Paving the way for the new 21st century radio astronomy paradigm

moreThe Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide more than one order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with any existing radio telescope over a wavelength range of several hundred to one, from decametric to microwave wavelengths. It will revolutionize the study of the most abundant element in the Universe, hydrogen, from the epoch of reionisation to the present-day, probing the onset formation period of the very first stars, will closely scan proto-planets and, through the precision timing of pulsars, will detect the distortions of space-time due to gravitational radiation. The SKA is a sensing network spanning 3000 km from its centre and with a collecting area of more than 1 square kilometre, using technologies of the 21st century. The SKA will make the study of a wide range of phenomena initially studied at other wavelengths possible at radio wavelengths, as well as opening a new discovery window on new phenomena at radio wavelengths. Symposium 7 of the JENAM 2010 aimed at bringing these diverse opportunities to the attention of both theoretical and observational astronomers working at all wavelengths, including the potential for synergies with other facilities.
The meeting: highlighted the scientific potential of the SKA; discussed scientific priorities and their impact on the design of the SKA; explored the synergies between the SKA and other next-generation astronomical facilities in different wavelength domains such as the ALMA, ELTs, LSST, JWST, GRE, IXO, Gaia and Euclid, and high-energy facilities (Auger); and, explored the "cyber-infrastructure" that may become available for the distribution and distributed analysis of SKA data. less

Saying he wasn't a top K1 fighter is indefensible fallacy.
He's just obviously not cut out for the kick-free strain of boxing.
At least not at heavyweight.
Listen i fallowed K1 constantly if he wasnt Japanese he would not even be in top 10, and i wrote wasnt really top K1 and he wasnt, he beat 100 years old Aerts and 100 years old Lebanner, while he is tough he was never any danger to the best fighter like Bonjasky, Badr Hari, Schilt etc only good fighter in prime he beat is Saki and he is really lucky that he came in a time when K1 quality went down because if he was around 6 or 7 years ago he would not be in final tournament!!!
And if you think i wrote this to say that other better K1 fighters would be good in boxing thats not my intention as you can see in any Badr Hari boxing savior thread
Who retired as a k1 champion?? Kyotaro was never the real champion and if you are talking about Schilt he is not retired he just KOd Ghita few days ago

ABSTRACT: Few studies have examined the broad health effects of occupational exposures in flight attendants apart from disease-specific morbidity and mortality studies. We describe the health status of flight attendants and compare it to the U.S. population. In addition, we explore whether the prevalence of major health conditions in flight attendants is associated with length of exposure to the aircraft environment using job tenure as a proxy. We surveyed flight attendants from two domestic U.S. airlines in 2007 and compared the prevalence of their health conditions to contemporaneous cohorts in the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES), 2005-2006 and 2007-2008. We weighted the prevalence of flight attendant conditions to match the age distribution in the NHANES and compared the two populations stratified by gender using the Standardized Prevalence Ratio (SPR). For leading health conditions in flight attendants, we analyzed the association between job tenure and health outcomes in logistic regression models. Compared to the NHANES population (n =5,713), flight attendants (n = 4,011) had about a 3-fold increase in the age-adjusted prevalence of chronic bronchitis despite considerably lower levels of smoking. In addition, the prevalence of cardiac disease in female flight attendants was 3.5 times greater than the general population while their prevalence of hypertension and being overweight was significantly lower. Flight attendants reported 2 to 5.7 times more sleep disorders, depression, and fatigue, than the general population. Female flight attendants reported 34% more reproductive cancers. Health conditions that increased with longer job tenure as a flight attendant were chronic bronchitis, heart disease in females, skin cancer, hearing loss, depression and anxiety, even after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), education, and smoking. This study found higher rates of specific diseases in flight attendants than the general population. Longer tenure appears to explain some of the higher disease prevalence. Conclusions are limited by the cross-sectional design and recall bias. Further study is needed to determine the source of risk and to elucidate specific exposure-disease relationships over time.Environmental Health 03/2014; 13(1):13.

Article: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure and wheeze in a cohort of children with asthma in Fresno, CA.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are found widely in the ambient air and result from combustion of various fuels and industrial processes. PAHs have been associated with adverse human health effects such as cognitive development, childhood IQ, and respiratory health. The Fresno Asthmatic Children's Environment Study enrolled 315 children aged 6-11 years with asthma in Fresno, CA and followed the cohort from 2000 to 2008. Subjects were evaluated for asthma symptoms in up to three 14-day panels per year. Detailed ambient pollutant concentrations were collected from a central site and outdoor pollutants were measured at 83 homes for at least one 5-day period. Measurements of particle-bound PAHs were used with land-use regression models to estimate individual exposures to PAHs with 4-, 5-, or 6-member rings (PAH456) and phenanthrene for the cohort (approximately 22,000 individual daily estimates). We used a cross-validation-based algorithm for model fitting and a generalized estimated equation approach to account for repeated measures. Multiple lags and moving averages of PAH exposure were associated with increased wheeze for each of the three types of PAH exposure estimates. The odds ratios for asthmatics exposed to PAHs (ng/m(3)) ranged from 1.01 (95% CI, 1.00-1.02) to 1.10 (95% CI, 1.04-1.17). This trend for increased wheeze persisted among all PAHs measured. Phenanthrene was found to have a higher relative impact on wheeze. These data provide further evidence that PAHs contribute to asthma morbidity.Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology 05/2012; 22(4):386-92.

Article: Crime, neighborhood deprivation, and asthma: a GIS approach to define and assess neighborhoods.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Exposure to neighborhood factors remains difficult to quantify when neighborhoods are often predefined and imprecisely measured. This study examines the association between neighborhood deprivation and participation in a community-based asthma case management (CM) program in Oakland, CA. We estimated neighborhoods by calculating walking distances of , and miles around each child's (n=2892) residence. The model assesses deprivation by the addition of weighted factors within a child's neighborhood-crime rates, alcohol outlets, and eight 2000 US Census characteristics. The results illustrate that neighborhood deprivation is weakly associated with greater levels of program participation, but neighborhood education level, measured by percentage of residents with less than a high school education, is strongly associated with greater program participation (OR: 4.43, 95% CI: [1.23, 15.99]). Neighborhood deprivation factors were significantly different between neighborhoods defined by walking distances and census blockgroups (Wilcoxon-signed rank test: p<0.05).06/2011; 2(2):59-67.

ABSTRACT: Despite large public investments in asthma interventions, there are few rigorous assessments of these programmes and little understanding of what comprises an effective intervention. There is a lack of appropriate data, little technical support is provided, and the programs themselves have little incentive to conduct these analyses. In this study, we apply optimal full matching using propensity scores to estimate the impact of an asthma intervention programme across a range of health outcomes. Our participation model is derived using the Deletion, Substitution and Addition (DSA) algorithm, a method used in epidemiology for model selection. We find that the asthma programme in question has no significant effect on participants that distinguishes them from matched nonparticipants, but it is not clear whether this is due to the effectiveness of the programme, heterogeneity of effects or barriers outside the programme's control. Our findings do show how current programmes could be modified to increase their effectiveness and better inform future research.Applied Economics 01/2011; DOI:10.1080/00036846.2011.564137 · 0.46 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To estimate the treatment effect of participation in an asthma intervention that was part of the National Asthma Control Program. Cross-sectional; difference in outcomes between participants and comparable nonparticipants matched by using propensity scores. Data on children who participated in asthma case management (n = 270) and eligible children who did not participate in case management (n = 2742) were extracted from a Medicaid claims database. We constructed measures of healthcare utilization, sociodemographics, and neighborhood characteristics. After creating a comparison group similar to the participants in terms of all characteristics before participation, we estimated the effect of the program on asthma outcomes. Participants were more likely to have vaccinations for pulmonary illness (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.82, 4.81), to fill a prescription for controller medications (95% CI = 1.07, 2.19), and to have a refill for rescue medication (95% CI = 1.07, 2.07) after the program than comparable nonparticipants. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of nebulizer treatments or emergency department visits between the 2 groups. The program did increase the use of preventive healthcare by participants. Over the time period we studied, these behaviors did not decrease healthcare utilization for asthma exacerbations. We were unable to discern whether the lack of effect was because of the nature of the program, heterogeneity of the effects, or barriers outside the program's control.The American journal of managed care 04/2010; 16(4):257-64. · 2.17 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the treatment effect from participating in an asthma intervention that was part of the National Asthma Control Program.Study Setting: Data on children who participated in asthma case management (N=270) and eligible children who did not participate in case management (N=2,742) were extracted from a claims database.Study Design: We created 81 measures of health care utilization and 40 measures of neighborhood characteristics that could be related to participation in the program. The participation model was selected using the cross-validation-based Deletion Substitution and Addition (DSA) algorithm. We used optimal full matching for the vector of Mahalanobis' distances and propensity scores to estimate the difference between participants and non-participants in the probability of a range of asthma outcomes.Principal Findings: Compared to non-participants, participants were more likely to have vaccinations for pulmonary illness, use controller medications, and have a refill for rescue medication. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of nebulizer treatments or ED visits between the two groups. We find that the asthma program had no significant effect on overall asthma controlConclusion: We are not able to discern whether the lack of an effect in overall control is due to the effectiveness of the program, heterogeneity of effects or barriers outside the program's control. We discuss how current programs could be modified to better inform future research and program design.SSRN Electronic Journal 09/2009; DOI:10.2139/ssrn.1475409

You do have to admit though that updates have been coming along much better now then they have ever been in the past. Samsung has been doing a pretty stellar job of getting some of their newer device up to speed with updates to newer versions of Android along with including some pretty wonderful new software features of their own. Of course we mean they are doing a great job internationally. After all, U.S. carriers still hold the power over updates for our devices. An update to Android 4.1.2 is currently underway for two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The GT-7100 and LTE GT-7105. This update brings in so many new features that it is almost mind-boggling. Check out the list below for the skinny. Android 4.1.2 – JZO54K New Additions in Notifcation Toggles Notification Panel can now be customized Brightness Slider in Notification Panel Can Now Be Disabled Multi-View Can now be disabled Browser Is Smoother Then Before Status Bar has been changed from Grey to Black Continues Input in Samsung Keyboard (Like Swipe or Android 4.2 Keyboard) New Ink Effect On Lockscreen New Group Cast Application Sounds like another winning update from the leading Android device manufacturer in the world. Now to all you have to do is wait for your developer to incorporate the features, or sit on your hands until the carriers get the update ready. Who knows how long that will take. Head over to the source link below to take a look through their huge gallery of images. If you don't see the OTA for the devices mentioned, give Samsung Kies a shot and remember, if you are carrier branded it might take longer for it to hit. Source: SamMobile via AndroidPolice

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (Big Book Edition) (Pigeon Series) (original 2003; edition 2012)
by Mo Willems, Mo Willems (Illustrator)
Work details
Don't let the pigeon drive the bus! by Mo Willems (2003)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
My preschool daughter is crazy about this book!
This book is about a pigeon who really wants to drive a bus . So he comes up with all of these reasons so he can drive it. Mo Willems writes the story so that it seems like he is talking to you .The pigeon is a very funny and not so convincing .You can start reading the book any where and you will still get the whole story !I really liked the story because it has a lot of humor in it and, it just makes you smile .It is an easy book to read band I recommend it to all of you . It is a great book so read it .
The message shows that you should never leave unattended vehicles. People with ideas can get crazy even if they are not supposed to like the pigeon in the story. The book could be used in Kindergarten through second grade to show that they are too young to do certain things in life and not get ideas of trying to drive a motor vehicle because they wouldn't know how to operate one. If not trying to drive a vehicle but any other things in life they are too young for.
Not my favorite illustrated book. However, it does teach expression and voice well. The dialogue and the punctuation really help show how students should begin writing their sentences.
This is a fantastic book about voice. This is a great mentor text about how many various ways the author uses voice and expression within this story. This could be a great guide and full of ideas on how to incorporate voice and emotion into a story.

Amazon Exclusive: The Pigeon: A Life in Pictures
Back in 1993, I was cartooning for a 'zine. Due to a lack of other material, we decided to make the December issue a sketchbook with just my cartoons. I have been producing small cartoon and story sketchbooks for clients and pals every year since then. In 1998, my sketchbook featured a new character, the Pigeon. Born in the margins of a 1997 notebook filled with potential picture book ideas, he was complaining that his ideas were better than mine. To mollify him, I put him in that year's sketchbook. The original sketchbook was much longer than the final published volume, but some of the lines were the same. In late 1999, an agent essentially agreed with the Pigeon and rejected my picture book ideas. She suggested I revisit my sketchbook with an eye to turning it into a picture book. My wife was working at a school library at the time and had read the sketchbook to her kids, who had enjoyed it. So I suppose it wasn't too crazy an idea. I started to revise the layout and work with color. At the end of 2001, after several dozen rejections because the book was "unusual," an editor decided that "unusual" was a good thing. Plus, it made her laugh. I began reworking and rewriting. The Pigeon was now starting to look more like his mature self. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! was published in April 2003 and, to my surprise, proved to be popular quite quickly. Thankfully, that Pigeon doodle in the notebook back in 1997 was so insistent. He was right!
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:16 -0400)
"When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place-- a pigeon. But you never met one like this before."

Chuck Wendig wrote a hilarious and poignant post on the self-doubt we face when creating something as daunting as a book:
And writing a book is a long process. Far more marathon than sprint. It's easy to run a sprint. Hard-charge over a short distance? Sure. Can do! But a marathon, man — hell, the most I've ever run is two miles and to be honest with you, I often hit trouble at around the same times as I do with a novel (third, half, two-thirds). Writing a novel is tantamount to wandering a dark forest. You'll always have those times when it feels like you can't see the stars, that the thicket has grown too deep, that the way out will never be within sight. But then you keep wandering and — okay, sure, sometimes you get eaten by a GOBLIN BEAR because they can smell your fear-pee — eventually you push through the shadow and the bramble and there's the way forward again.
It's like he's in my head. My drafting process is usually a progressive series of emotions:
Rinse, repeat.

Stephen King lets readers in on how he feels about his career thus far, his favorite TV shows of the last 15 years, and what he has coming up next. The Q&A below, however, had me beaming because I, too, hate the kind of elitism that comes with judging books by their genres:
What do you make of this surge in sales for young-adult books? There's a whole school of critics that say too many adults are reading them.
It's just crazy. I read all of the Harry Potter books, and I really liked 'em. I don't approach any books in terms of genre saying that "This is young adult," or "This is a romance," or science fiction, or whatever. You read them because you read them. Someone asked me recently, "Have you ever considered writing a book for young people? You know, a YA novel?" And I said, "All of them." Because I don't see that genre thing.
And that's what I love about King—he's not just a "horror writer." He writes science fiction and suspense and sociopolitical commentary. He's a writer. No adjective. Just a writer.

Of course I wrote this piece on it. portrait in byword But a blog post is amateur hour for what this thing can do. I've also been working on my 10,000-word short story on it. And my 75,000-word novel. (Sadly, no, the device didn't fix my glaring plot holes and character issues.)
He says his laptop still plays a heavy part in his process due to apps like Scrivener, but I'm wondering how that might change once Scrivener for iOS is released. Regardless, I'm very much looking forward to picking up my own 6 Plus in the near future.
