As of Friday, February 3, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
In an era where it seems like many companies have become heartless sweatshops grabbing for every nickel they can get and squeezing their employees for more and more, having a larger purpose still matters.
People have become jaded about mission and vision statements. Too often, they become meaningless platitudes put on a placard that hangs in the lobby and no one reads.
A purpose is different. A purpose is a concrete reason to get out of bed in the morning. It's how you and your company make a difference today. A clearly articulated purpose restores the nobility and meaning to work.
Here's why your purpose matters:
• Purpose is why your organization exists. Purpose drives sales. You don't have to create world peace. Your purpose can be helping customers be more successful or making a difference in your industry.
• Purpose makes you money. A study from Jim Collins and Jerry Porras found that organizations driven by purpose and values outperformed the market 15:1 and comparison companies 6:1. Purpose may sound fluffy, but it translates into cold hard cash. Having a purpose beyond making money almost always results in you making more money.
• Purpose isn't just a feel good thing; it's essential in a tough economy. One of our clients provides IT services to small businesses. Two years ago, if you asked their people what they did, they would have told you -- "We sell IT services." After we started working with them we made a critical shift. Now their CEO says, "Our purpose is to help small businesses be more successful." We pulled that purpose to the front and center of everything they do. The result: Their sales are up 35 percent. In a challenging economy, when most of their competitors are floundering, they increased revenues by 35 percent. Ask anyone in their organization what they do, and they'll tell you. "We help small businesses be more successful, and we're damn good at it!
• Purpose-driven salespeople outperform product-driven salespeople. In a double-blind study I did with a major biotech company, the single unifying characteristic of the top performers was a sense of larger purpose. The salespeople who were product-focused or who wanted to win the trip did OK. But the salespeople whose clearly articulated purpose was to heal people consistently sold more than everyone else.
For them, it wasn't just about touting features and benefits or winning a trip to Aruba. They're playing for higher stakes. One top-performer summed it up saying, "If it's 4:30 on a rainy Friday afternoon, other sales reps go home. I don't. I make the extra sales call, because I know, I'm not just pitching a product. I'm saving people's lives."
• Purpose ignites the secret yearnings of our hearts. Human beings have two fundamental emotional needs: We want connection and we want meaning. We want to have close personal relationships and we want our work to count for something. We want to make a difference. I've worked with over 200 leading sales organizations. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, the people who have a fire in their belly are the people who have a purpose.
Working for a higher purpose engages people's passion in a way the spreadsheets never will. Products and profits connect with your head.
Purpose connects with your heart. If you want your organization to be more successful, start with purpose.

Full detailed profile on Jessica Bennett Played by Danica Stewart on Passions Daytime Soap Opera.
Danica Stewart
Birthday: 1983-08-02
At home, Tabitha reads the newspaper article about the storm when Kay comes down in her wedding dress. Tabs sighs and checks her out. They're giddy until Tabitha tries to back out of going to the wedding. Sam interrupts before she can do so. He takes his daughter's hand and tells her how beautiful she looks. He's sure that she and Miguel will be happy. She just wishes that Jess could have made it back to the wedding. On cue, Jessica runs in and hugs her sister.
Later, Tabitha and Sam talk about what happened at the church. He brings up Vincent's accusation that she is a witch. "I can honestly say that I am not a witch," she claims, somewhat sadly. Sam tells her that she has been a great neighbor and a good friend. Tabs smiles. Meanwhile, Kay wishes that her sister could be her maid of honor. Jessica can't; her sobriety still isn't set in stone and she'll have to get back to the program. She tells her sister that she is planning to go to college when she finishes and then maybe she will hook up with Reese. They've been talking again since she began reforming and he may be moving back. Jessica tells her sister that she deserves to be happy with Miguel after all she's done to get him. Sam and Tabitha walk over to them. Kay wishes her mother could be there to see them so happy. "She knows Kay. Grace knows," Sam smiles as he looks up to Heaven. Tabitha looks away, not having the heart to tell them this happiness won't last. Kay is ready to get to the church. Sam hands her a note from Simone. It tells of how busy she is raising the baby with Whitney and TC and wishes her all the best. Simone also sent along some earrings for Kay's outfit. Jessica remembers how much help Simone gave her and what a good friend she's been. The sisters hug and cry before Sam has to end their tender moment and bring Jessica back to rehab. As soon as they're gone, Tabs looks for a way out of going to the wedding. She hands Kay a gift first. It's what Cleopatra gave her on her wedding day. "Unfortunately I wound up helping her die," Tabitha says, recalling her dozens of marriages. "I've always cherished this bracelet as I cherish you," Tabs says, hugging her crying friend. Kay hurries off and Tabitha holds back her tears: "Unless some miracle happens, this is the last day of everyone's life in Harmony."
Sam walks in his living room and sees Jessica sitting on the couch with her baby. As he gushes over his grandson, Jessica admits she was worried that he wouldn't love the baby because he's part Spike. Sam says it's not the baby's fault and vows to never let Spike get near her again. Jessica tells Sam she named her son Samuel after him. Sam is touched and promises to be a good role model for him. He asks Jessica if Spike tried to get a hold of her while she was away and Jessica says he didn't. She explains she left Harmony to have the baby because she felt like people were judging her, but she feels safe at home now. Sam leaves the room to get Samuel his bottle.
After Sam leaves, Spike walks in and grabs Jessica. He tells her that he is going to take his son and warns her to keep quiet or else he will kill her. Jessica says Sam will arrest him once he gets back from the kitchen, but Spike says if that happens he will escape, track her down and sell his baby on the black market. Jessica tells Spike that she will send him photos of their son from time to time along with divorce papers, but Spike says he wants to be a part of his son's life. Jessica tells him, "No way!" Spike threatens to take Samuel from her if she doesn't let him see his son and instructs her to name the kid after him. Jessica says she already put Samuel on the birth certificate, so Spike tells her to use Herbert (Spike's real name) as the baby's middle name then.
Sam comes back to the living room and Jessica worries that he saw Spike. Spike hid in time though and Sam asks what the boy's middle name is. Jessica says it's Herbert and Sam thinks it's a great name. As Sam hugs Jessica, she sees Spike hold up a knife warning her to keep quiet.
Next time on Passions:
Gwen warns Theresa if she tells Ethan about Little E he'll be as good as dead.
A drunk Eve tells Julian that Vincent is in her house.
Next door, at Sam's, Kay protests as her father places her under arrest for all of the murders. When he tries to drag her away, she explains that this is all magic and neither she nor Jessica are the murderer, Spike is. That sounds crazy so Kay starts to do magic, which keeps malfunctioning and zaps her all over the room until her handcuffs vanish. Miguel starts pointing at her and saying that she's a devil while Sam thinks they should call an exorcist. Kay insists that she is only trying to help catch Spike and runs out the back. They all run after her.
Back at Tabitha's, they hear Kay running over with everyone trailing behind her. Sam declares that he is there to arrest his daughter until Tabitha points to Spike and reminds him that he is the one he wants. Sam doesn't have much evidence against Spike though. While Tabitha tries to talk him into making the arrest, Edna watches Spike escape. Kay asks Endora for help. The little witch sighs: 'I always have to clean up Kay's mess.' After a zap, Sam snaps out of the trance he was in but is now even more confused. No one understands why the living room looks like a resort, why they are there or exactly who he should be arresting. Sam only knows that he was ordered to arrest Jessica. He and Paloma arrest her again while Kay worries about how to get Spike to confess. Endora zaps Spike back, just before Sam can take her away. At first, everyone is too confused by Spike's slave clothes, so Endora puts him in his regular clothes, an act which confuses everyone even more. Sam tells Paloma to arrest him but, before she can, he grabs Jessica and threatens to cut her with a letter opener. When Spike tells them that they should be arresting Tabitha for her freak show, Tabitha kicks him and Kay starts to argue with him. When she tries her confession spell again, she misses Spike and the spell only hits Norma and Edna who begin confessing that they never floss their teeth and that they steal candy from babies. Endora has to step in and cast the spell properly. Finally Spike drops down on his knees and begins confessing to all of the killings. Sam places him under arrest while Edna sadly watches her slave boy being cuffed. Spike starts to cry while Sam asks Jessica to forgive him; he will never let her go, he promises. Noah and Paloma start to kiss as Spike snaps out of the spell and starts to claim that he's innocent. Simone laughs at him. She and the Bennetts then go over to Sam's while he calls a squad car to pick up Spike. Before they can come, Norma takes the opportunity to kick Spike around one last time.
At Sam's house, Kay, Miguel, Noah, Paloma, Simone and Jessica sit in the parlor talking about the recent miracles. Simone wonders how her mother could have delayed revealing the truth about Luis for so long. Sam walks through the front door and asks Jessica to stand up. To everyone's horror, he says that he has to arrest her for multiple homicides. They just received a complete report with fingerprints, saliva and DNA evidence that lays the blame on her for all of the dead bodies they've been digging up. Kay starts to panic and tries to think of a way out of this. She freezes them to give her more time to come up with a plan. When she doesn't come up with anything, she leaves them all frozen so that she can go and talk to Tabitha.
As everyone stares down at Jessica's dead body, Kay wanders away to see Tabitha and the Demon Elf. This is just the beginning, the elf promises as his demons fly off into the night. Kay feels awful, but, as Tabitha points out, this is all because she never listens. Returning to Miguel's arms, she watches as Sam tries to revive his daughter. Eve arrives and starts looking Jessica over while Spike hopes that she is really dead. Suddenly, Jessica begins coughing after Eve gives her oxygen. 'Dammit!' curses the elf. Now his demons will be coming back after losing the power of possession. He stomps off angrily to find someone else to boost the power of his demon brigade. Kay is smug to see him go, but Tabitha wouldn't count him out yet. Meanwhile, Spike tries to act concerned and swears that he will make whoever did this to his precious wife pay. Jessica swats him and then kicks him in the groin before revealing everything that he did to her. Sam places him under arrest and they drag him away. Watching this, the Demon Elf thinks that he's just spotted someone to give him his power back.

Personal Budget Software - Free Home Budgeting Program for the F. How to Automate Your Personal Finances ∞ Get Rich Slowly. For the past few months, I've been moving toward a system of paperless personal finance.
In this guest post from Paul Lussier, he explains his own automated system. Lately J.D. has been talking a lot about automating his finances. In my world (that of high-tech, software, and large computer systems), we strive to automate as much as possible. By doing this, we hope to minimize error by reducing human interaction, leveraging the power of the computer for what it's good at, leveraging the power of people for what we're good at. Build Wealth with a "Virtual Employer" ∞ Get Rich Slowly. Here's the longest "money hack" I've ever posted.
This is another reader comment from our recent discussion about the transition from "becoming debt-free" to "living debt-free". In this guest-post from James, who is new to GRS, he describes how he created a "virtual employer" in order to limit his natural spending habits. By playing games with himself, he was able to go from $20,000 in debt to having over a million in savings in just fifteen years. This guest-post is long, but I think it's worth it. How is living debt-free different than becoming debt-free? Refreshing Money Management.

Medford, Ore. -- A Medford man has a warning for other homeowners after nearly losing his house in a fire Sunday morning.
Larry McCoy said his daughter woke him up after she smelled smoke coming from downstairs. That's when he found the back of the house he's lived in for 25 years engulfed in flames.
Firefighters responded to the scene on 12th and Newtown around 6:00 a.m. McCoy said the fire started after grass clippings he had bagged up and set near the back of the house got too hot.
But McCoy said he feels lucky.
"It could have been worse, much worse, if it hadn't of been caught as early as it was someone could have got hurt," McCoy said. "The house is kind of a mess, but it's saveable."
McCoy and his three other family members and their two cats and dog got out safely. Three rooms in the home are completely destroyed, but McCoy said they'll rebuild what they have to.
He wants to remind other homeowners who plan on doing yard work to get rid of yard waste right away so the same thing doesn't happen to them.

Field Hockey Hats make a great field hockey gift for any occasion! Our field hockey caps will keep the sun out of your eyes, performance beanies will wick the sweat away from your scalp, and our knit hats will keep your head warm in the winter! Choose your design, then personalize your hat with your team number.
We are brothers that were born and raised in a world of sports. Our parents spent most (if not all) weekends on soccer fields, lacrosse fields, tennis courts and hockey rinks cheering us on as we played the sports we loved. Playing sports was not just a pastime for us, but rather a lifestyle. In 1996, ChalkTalkSPORTS.com was created when our parents designed a hockey board game and collection of lacrosse and hockey t-shirt designs. From our humble beginnings in our family's garage, ChalkTalkSPORTS.com cultivated into the company it is today. With all hands on deck, we picked and packed customer orders during our college breaks, until our part time efforts no longer sufficed. The entrepreneurial spirit of our family took hold and we put forth the effort for ChalkTalkSPORTS.com to reach its true potential. We are now out of the garage and have established an extremely talented team whom which design and manufacture unique products for over 15 sports. It just so happens, that our office and warehouse is conveniently located adjacent to both tennis courts and a playing field (with an ice rink only mile away)...so when not working in the office, you know where you can find us!
I ordered a gift for my daughter's hockey coach. I was a little leery about placing an order to a place I never heard of. Today I received that gift and I love it more now than when I first ordered it!!!! The logo was a GREAT touch!!! Thank you so much. I greatly recommend ChalkTalkSPORTS. I will definitely use you in the future...spreading the word.
~ Richelle
The lacrosse balls arrived! I haven't unwrapped every one yet, but so far I'm extremely impressed with ChalkTalkSports.com....your customer service exceeded my expectations, your quick turnaround on a short-notice request was amazing, and the quality of printing, packaging, shipping was excellent!! Thanks so much....I'll be sure to tell the 100 people at our banquet tonight all about you!!
~ Kristi

Kayfun Lite Plus v1 by EHPRO (Larger Airflow Hole)
Product Description
We asked the manufacturer for a larger airflow hole and they made it especially for us! The new airflow airhole size is about 2mm. Everything else is the same. If you want a easier draw, you can't go wrong with a Kayfun Lite Plus by EHPRO!
1x Kayfun Lite Plus Clone
1x Stainless Steel Tank Section
1x Short M Tank
1x M Tank
1x Screw Driver
1x Bag with Extra O-Rings & Screws
Product Reviews
My first Kayfun Style
Posted by Vape Journey on 5th Aug 2014
The fact that it is my "first" attests to my satisfaction. The draw is nice, never floods or leaks. The finish is superb and pleasant to hold and put to the lips. The drip tip can be made to wobble a bit but that is inconsequential. The vapor is great and satisfying and I am still on my first build at about 4 tankfulls so far. I followed one of the many tutorials on Youtube and made a 28 gauge 1.7 ohm coil, right off the bat, wicked it with some cotton (nothing special), and like it at about 3.6 volts or 7.9 watts using 15/85 pg/vg juice. It's heavier than a Kanger but the maintenance is about 10 percent of that needed for most of those bottom coils. No fancy claims or gimmics, just a quality product that does what it should without fail. You need to know a few Kayfun Lite tricks, like "fill it from the bottom" (duh), and "unscrew the bottom cap and use the drip tip as a funnel to empty it". Also, don't clog the channels, (I guess) and don't unscrew the air adjustment screw so far that you scratch your pretty mod. I'm tempted to try the later versions that Eciggity sells or the Dual Airflow version but, then again, why mess with success? Oh...takes me forever to use up all the juice it holds (I must have stumbled upon a really efficient build). It's a bit heavy to carry but if I was told that I could have just one vaporizer, this would be the one that I would grab.
Posted by James Hoy on 16th Jun 2014
Looks awesome, albeit hilarious, on my Seven22. Works well, leaks a little, but that may be my build. Good flavor, nice packaging. Thanks Eciggity!
all great except.
Posted by Mason W. on 4th Jun 2014
Tank works great bought as a gift for my boss. all was well except both plastic sections broke almost immediately ,one cracked while screwing it on and the other frosted and cracked within a minute of having a juice in there that had never cracked another track before. also airflow is excellent
No leaks, great flavor, almost perfect
Posted by clee on 25th May 2014
If the airhole were chamfered just a little bit, and if the machining were just a little better, this would be the perfect tank. Mine came covered in machine oil which took two cleaning sessions to wash out, and there was also some shaved metal still inside the drip tip that I had to remove in order to be able to use it.
best bang for your buck!
Posted by Timothy on 15th May 2014
This is probably the best atomizer out there for the money. What else needs to be said. Easy to setup, great quality, and the flavor is amazing!
Great product for a great price.
Posted by Scott Myers on 13th May 2014
For the money this is one of the best RBA you can buy.
Best bang for the buck
Posted by Bubba on 12th May 2014
First off, hats off to Eciggity's customer service and fast shipping!
Being my first RBA, I was a little intimidated. Once I received the item, I cleaned it of course. Built it up, which was extremely easy.
I gotta say, the flavor compared to a regular tank is much more satisfying. Mine whistles a little, but no bother. The threads are smooth. So is the draw.
For the price, I doubt you could find a better RBA.
best clone
Posted by Anthony Euliss on 9th May 2014
This Kayfun is amazing best clone I have ever had I have had some flooding issues, but that's probably from user error
Great RB Tank
Posted by Rill on 8th May 2014
I ordered a Kayfun Lite Plus from Gotvape at a cheaper price and it had a side air flow ajuster (thats what sold me), and it was a poor quality clone. New customer to Eciggity and I was very satified with your product.
Good clone, but has some issues
Posted by Christian on 5th May 2014
To start off, eciggity is a great company. Quick shipping to the west coast and a great product line available.
I received this clone and built it like I have my other clones. Oh man, clean this baby out. Even after I disassembled the whole device, soaked it in vodka, and then cleaned it with hot water and soap, I could still taste the machine oil.
I used the clear plastic tank and it refused to create a seal, causing nasty dry hits continually. I replaced the clear tank with the SS tank +clear window section and the dry hits went away.
I would say even with the drilled out air-hole and the airflow out all the way the draw is still pretty tight (my 3.1 is much looser draw with no modifications).
Over all, this was not a very impressive device, but wasn't a piece of garbage like my FT Kraken. I would buy this again if I needed another clone.
Not a kayfun man
Posted by Jeremiah Kam on 30th Apr 2014
I don't own an original kayfun, so my opinions are based on this larger air-flow clone. When I purchased this device, I was hoping that the larger air hole would bump up the vapor production. Now, I'm not sure that this is the case. The larger air-flow hole still feeds into the hole in the side of the center pin which in turn feeds through the hollow of that pin and finally onto the deck. I found that the diameter of the holes in the center pin and through the hollow shaft are smaller than the opening for the larger air-flow hole. Thus you still have a bottleneck in the center pin preventing you from getting more air-flow. You could probably drill out the center pin to fix this problem, but you might damage the part in the process. Coming from using mostly RDAs, I wasn't satisfied with the taste or performance of the kayfun. It's definitely better than any clearomizer I've tried, but nowhere near a good dripper. The only time I would use this is while driving (don't drip and drive). Build quality was top notch, so points for that. Don't see what all the hype is. Guess I'm just not a kayfun man.
Great item
Posted by Brian on 29th Apr 2014
This is an exceptional item and I must say I am impressed with it. My only complaint is that I read into everyone saying that flavor is amazing on these. And I must disagree, but that may be because I started dripping well before I got this item and I find so much more flavor out of drippers. However I previously had a RSST and this blows it out of the water as far flavor, ease to build and tank size.
I love the kayfun and iI now carry it with my every where I go because it does beat out dripping while driving and with my job I do a lot of driving. When I'm not driving I still drip, but obviously when I drive I now use the kayfun.
Very happy with my purchase.
Posted by Unknown on 26th Apr 2014
This thing is awesome! Mine has no whistle, threads are buttery smooth, didn't see any machine oil, I did clean it out though, put a 9 wrap micro coil in, the flavor and vapor are great! To be honest you lined this and an authentic up, and you'd have a hell of a time picking the differences out. Airflow is great wide open, I'd reccomend this to anyone and at this price, i don't think there's a better deal out there.
my new favorite tank
Posted by Paul L, Fort Atkinson, WI on 15th Apr 2014
I really agonized over the variety of clones out there before being intrigued by the airhole mod for my first KF clone. WOW. Perfect AND beautiful! Reviewers don't lie about juice useage- I went through a 4.5 ml tank in about 4 hours! Plumes of vapor from 6 wraps on 2 strands of 2mm ekowool is a perfect 1.8 ohm wick. Shipping under 4 days. Thank you.
this is a super great product the only flaw is the m tank i got has a crooked thread on it so the top sits at a angle but it does still seal
Posted by jon on 15th Apr 2014

Really nice quality!
Posted by Ryan on 15th Apr 2014
First kayfun, seems built really well. Although it does whistle because of the airhole. Easy to build and looks great on my hcigar nemy!
a whole new world of flavor
Posted by Unknown on 11th Apr 2014
the shipping and processing of my order was top notch fast and easy this tank is amazing on top of it they included the large clear replacment tank as well as the stainless tank parts and the small clear insert only issue i have had with this is a slight whistle depending on the airflow position but thats no where near a deal breaker for me still my favorite vape to date if your a diy juice maker it may even make you adjust your recipes slightly great great buy
a must!!
Posted by nako on 6th Apr 2014
for a clone i was impressed everything u want from a clone u get here.... now the cons are like those from clones u usually get ..and pls wash it before use it it's coated with machine oil!!
It's pretty good
Posted by Ino on 4th Apr 2014
Machining is very well done, by far the best of the three clones I have. Half the cost and most of the quality of the original Kayfun! I'm happy with it.
Better than authentic kayfun lite plus
Posted by Dan on 3rd Apr 2014
Great product. My russian91% and authentic kayfun lite plus have been collecting dust since I purchased the Ehpro kayfun lite plus. The quality is great. Don't let the price deceive you. Buy one now!
buy it now
Posted by justin on 2nd Apr 2014
This thing is so awesome I suggested it to one of my oldest friends. The draw is just right. I wouldn't call it a negative but the only quirk I would say it has...... it uses a bit more juice during all day vaping than my other kfl+. I am a kayfun only guy and I went from about 4 ml a day to 6-8ml a day. Flavor and draw imo are well worth it. This is both with same wrap, wire and wick.
great for ppl new to rebuilding
Posted by seth Hennings on 2nd Apr 2014
This is just like the real thing. For half the price. The larger airflow hole is adjustable but the screw likes to back out on its own. Great buy
Ehpro Kayfun Lite Plus
Posted by Daniel R. on 1st Apr 2014
I own an authentic Russian91% and an authentic Kayfun Lite Plus. I purchased this Ehpro Kayfun Lite Plus because of the larger airflow hole option. The Ehpro surpasses both the Russian91% and Kayfun Lite Plus. I have been using the Ehpro for over a week now. I have used 28 gauge micro coil and cotton, even tried twisted 30 gauge I have not had any problems with my builds so far. I would recommend this product to anyone who may be unsure of making the purchase. It has surpassed my expectations. My 510 screw had plastic inside, easy to clean out with a small screwdriver. I also had a few burrs on the 510 screw holes. I purchased "diamond" Dremel bits and used them by hand twisting until I smoothed out the burrs. I also used the Dremel bit by hand on the airflow hole to cure the whistle. I purchased the bits at Walmart $6.97 for a pack of two. One bit is cone shaped and the other is round. Don't hesitate buy now you won't regret it.
awesome product and even better customer service!
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Mar 2014
Ordered two of these and I was not disappointed. The larger hole makes for a much better draw! The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is is does whistle. However I am sure there is a way to fix that and I just need to figure it out. I will definitely be buying from eciggity again. Their customer service is top notch and they stand behind their products. Not to mention I get my gear in just a few days! Thanks eciggity!!!
great rta
Posted by seabze on 21st Mar 2014
This version of the kfl+ is a little better than others cause of the slightly bigger airhole. Sits flushed on my nemesis and ss turtle. Great but for the price works just like the original. Ecigitty was very fast on the shipping thanks!
Posted by CloudedScreen on 21st Mar 2014
Bought the first ehpro imposter and have been enjoying it but this modded one is simply outstanding, love the air hole enlargement and the most tanks being thrown in is a really nice touch
Better than any other KFL clone
Posted by WV on 21st Mar 2014
I have many different clones and an original KFL. This beats all of the other clones and is just barely under the original as far as vape quality goes (airflow on my OG KFL is still better even with no AFC). I highly recommend this. Wish I got 2 of these instead of the getting the "black edition".
Posted by Rick on 18th Mar 2014
Without a doubt this is the best kayfun clone out there and I own four other kinds of kayfun clones
Well Worth it.
Posted by Phil on 10th Mar 2014
Okai so I have not had this kayfun clone for more then 4 or 5 hours but by all means I am happy with it. It is doing just what a kayfun should do which is to kick butt! I have put 4 different builds into this baby and I have gotten nothing but good vapes out of it so far. I am not a major fan of the air flow being at the bottom but Its not that much of an issue which is why its still getting a 5 star from me.
The Larger air flow hole makes this clone just so much better then it was before. I don't have the whistle that everyone keeps talking about and I think that's because of the larger air flow hole.
Is it worth buying? HELL YES!
Thanks again to E-ciggity for their great customer service as well. I e-mailed them about the site not saying that the SS middle section came with the clone, and to see if it did come with it. They got back to me with in a few hours and also informed me that they were updating the site that very second to make sure that it did say it was going to be sent out with the kayfun. I checked the site once I read the e-mail and sure enuff it was there. Good Job E-ciggity keep up the great customer service and You will always have a loyal customer right here!

Deadline nears as county continues to look for new animal shelter optiions
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The clock is ticking on county animal control as the deadline for moving out of the city owned shelter approaches.
The county board of supervisors approved a $2.6 billion budget today.
Within that was the $8.1 million budget for animal control for the following year.
That includes $2.5 million for a move to a new facility.
County administrator John Nilon said they are considering several options for a new facility.
"As a bare bones minimum solution we are looking at potentially pitching a very large tent having rental kennels and just moving to an open space that the county owns until such time as we can finalize another approach," Nilon said.
Another option is the county buying a kennel on Brundage Lane near Weedpatch Highway.
"The facility in general looks pretty good there are some area that may need to be bull dozed and rebuilt but it has good bones as they say and I think we can work on that if that becomes the place we choose," Nilon said.
There is also concern in the community about a mass euthanasia to lower the number of animals the county will have to move.
"They are now euthanizing two thirds of the animals now anyhow," said Kern County Animal Control volunteer Liz Keogh.
"The thing that's most unthinkable, the most Draconian, would be to euthanize animals and that is without a doubt our very last choice," Nilon said.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A company called Eye Verify is working to make photo IDs a thing of the past.
CEO Toby Rush says the technology could be just a year away from being on all smart phones. All users would have to do is take a picture of their eye with their cell phone. That picture would then turn into a virtual key to open all kinds of doors.
"There's over 400 points of interest in one section of the white of your eye," said Rush.
He added that each eye print is far more accurate than a fingerprint. Eye Verify would eliminate the need for computer passwords and it would be impossible for thieves to steal.
"They can't steal your eye, so the idea is that only you have your own biometric," he said. "You can't lose it, it can't be stolen, it can't be lost, can't be forgotten. It's always with you."
The applications for Eye Verify are endless. Rush says you could use your computer tablet to access sensitive files at work or check your bank account on your phone. Eye Verify could eliminate the need for photo IDs at the airport and offer a more secure option than keypads to gain entry at work sites.
Rush's favorite application is for voters on Election Day.
"Being able to vote from the convenience of my house, I can already send in a mail-in ballot, why not verify biometrically here and simply vote?" he said.
The cost for individual consumers may be nothing. Eye Verify hopes cell phone companies will pay a fee to install the technology on all cell phones


text: Rose Lily Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "sheer pastel pink [with a Lustre finish]." It's a light, cool-toned pink with blue undertones and a luminous shine. It had semi-sheer color coverage that wasn't quite even when applied. It was also a shade that was difficult to keep even-looking, as the minute your lips touched, you could see where they were! The color wore well for two and a half hours on me. NARS Stourhead (LE, $25.00) is lighter. MAC Raspberry Swirl (LE, $16.00) is cooler-toned, slightly darker. NARS Roman Holiday (P, $26.00) is brighter, darker. MAC Dreaminess (P, $22.00) is not as blue-based. See comparison swatches.

"This research has me smitten," I wrote two months ago, in Bray Wyatt 101: The Power of Fear. It was my response to the first airing of the Wyatt Family vignette. After tracing Windham Rotunda's path from brother Bo's partner to the puntable Husky Harris to the meticulously-crafted Bray Wyatt, I felt optimistic for his future on RAW. Not a very bold declaration, as the Wyatt Family vignette proved to bewitch even the snarkiest smark's heart. Those who didn't see the Wyatts coming felt intrigued. Those who'd been waiting for them felt validated. Wyatt 102 will gauge how successful Bray Wyatt has been in his campaign to arouse fear so far.
"They Say We're Coming…"
That first vignette aired on May 27. Bray Wyatt was new to me, so I based my initial judgment on the video alone. I sent the clip to my friends, something I don't often do. I wanted to see if they felt the same way after watching it. The video was both haunting and peculiar, one minute and 18 seconds of high-efficiency terror.
After such a formidable premiere, they continued airing Wyatt Family vignettes several times a week, across all programs, for the next five weeks. They produced different cuts of the video, varying the images and voice overs just enough to keep it fresh without compromising the feel of it. There always seemed to be something new to catch your eye, like that butcher's apron (cult people are always chopping stuff up!) and the lady in the tree (cult people always have young, sexy followers!).
Unlike the Fandango vignettes, an air-wank in terms of both production and delivery, the Wyatt vignettes showed that someone cared. That motivated me to care. It didn't bother me that each week would pass and the Wyatts did not show up in person. I didn't feel like it was being drawn out too much or was going to be an empty tease. I had faith that this build meant care was being taken. Building the anticipation with videos alone was a good choice, because it really amplified how much we all wanted to see what the Wyatts would do when they finally appeared.
"…But We've Been Here All Along"
On July 8, another Wyatt vignette opened the show. In this one, a man sing-songs, "Come out, come out, wherever you are…" over the image of a derelict doll's head. It made me think about what scared me as a child, and what scares me now that I have children. Another part makes you feel like you're running through the bush in the dark, only the ground is above you, and then it flashes to a porcelain pig smiling. Don't do drugs, kids. It's like visiting the Wyatts.
Throughout the program, they aired footage from a WWE.com reporter seeking the Wyatt Family house. He approaches two fellows attending to some caged birds in the back of a pickup truck. I am so impressed by the guys they've hired to play local Louisiana folk. Actually, I don't think they hired anyone at all! Shit just got real. The reporter is directed to a run-down house with furniture stacked up on the front porch and a bonfire burning out back. My two biggest fears in life would be running out of gas in front of that house, and Brock Lesnar. Goat Mask chops wood, but in a split second he is gone. Shivers. Lit only by a bare bulb, the hallway reverberates with chanting that is so rhythmic that I struggle to make out the words "obey-obey-obey-obey". Through the shadows we catch a glimpse of a dressmaker's form (cult people like to make their own dresses!) and then Bray Wyatt appears with a greeting so convivial that it's unsettling: "There you are! Come in. I've been waiting for you."
He settles in on the rocker and shares his thoughts. "I don't have followers. I have only brothers and sisters, all in the name of a cause!" He's using fear tactics to influence people's feelings. But what is his cause? I will come back to that question. We watch Bray in the rocking chair, but now from the screen in the arena. "People can't lead themselves, they want to be led!" He raises and lowers his voice like a preacher possessed, but couples it with very precise and almost delicate hand gestures. I loved the vignettes and the scenes from the Family compound when I first saw them; watching them more carefully has given me a greater appreciation for all the nuances.
Later on in the show, Kane pins Christian and the lights go out. Bray comes up on the tron and ignites his lantern. "We're here." After weeks of anticipation, those words incite cheers from the crowd. Cue music. The deep bass is like the sound of a heart pounding, and the lazy slide guitar has a slow, paralyzing effect. In the darkened arena, the lantern's solitary light seems to almost glide down the ramp on its own, barely illuminating the well-advertised face of Bray Wyatt. He's here! This is live television, and the crowd is wild. He is flanked by the man in the goat mask, visible only when the lantern swings his way. We can't quite see him, but we know the other man is there as well.
Bray takes a seat in the rocking chair, and blows out the lantern. You know what's great? When the arena lights up again, and the other two Wyatts have surrounded Kane in the ring, Kane doesn't look surprised at all. He knows what happens when the lights go out, and he is ready, but outnumbered. Harper and Rowan pound him down and drag him outside the ring. They administer the head shot heard round the world, as they bash Kane's head with the ring steps. It's as if Bray can smell the blood and walks with purpose towards the scene, delightedly disposing of his hat as he approaches. He kneels and raises his arms into the crucifix position, laughing as his eyes look upward. Fade to black, but not before a split-second flash of a goat's mask.
Do not complain that Bray Wyatt did not wrestle. He wields control without lifting a finger. Have you seen buzzards at work? They peck away. They take their time. On July 15, the lights go out again during R-Truth's time in the ring. Cue fantastic music, and the lantern's glow. The camera crew gets in really close on the Wyatt Family – what we can see of them in this light – and Bray smiles, just enough, as he saunters in with his crew. He is so, so poised. He is ready and he is awesome.
Lights on. Harper and Rowan assault R-Truth with a rain of fists while Bray rocks and watches. The voyeur element of Bray Wyatt is in keeping with his other sickening mannerisms. Another great reason to let him watch instead of wrestle for now.
After R-Truth is out of the way, Bray takes the microphone and almost dances into the ring. The laughter that he sprinkles into his messages has become less forced and more natural since the NXT days. Nothing seems rehearsed beyond a loose script. He talks about heroes being an illusion, and everything not being alright. My opinion on Bray Wyatt's cause: Don't try to follow his argument too closely. It's all in the diction and the delivery, but it's short on sense. That's the beauty of it. Bray Wyatt is about a feeling, not about logic. Why give us something that we can pick apart and turn around on him, when his goal is to intimidate? He's baffling, but has conviction. You can't argue with such a man. Is it "advanced fear mongering" as my title suggests? I think his purpose is to gather brothers and sisters who are okay with faulty arguments and like how they feel around Bray.
Two weeks later on July 26, the Wyatt Family debuts on Smackdown against Tons of Funk. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are made to look strong, fast, and cohesive, all while Bray looks on. Rowan gets tremendous height on his splashes! These guys are perfect for quick squash matches. After the pin, Bray enters to administer the Sister Abigail on Tensai, but not before reassuring him that it's not his fault. A creepy absolution given how goofy Tensai has become. Then Bray takes the mic to address Kane, and I notice that his hand grazes against Rowan's torso as he speaks; it makes me think of the Straight Edge Society, its members caressing CM Punk. In wrestling, how you touch someone is everything.
A few days later on July 29, Kane was loitering in the ring after his loss to Daniel Bryan. The lights go out, and this time Kane is en route to the rocking chair when the lights turn back on. Before he can deliver a choke slam on Bray, the other members of the Family step in. They pummel him and leave him limp in the ring. Bray enters, all greasy as if it's a manky old arena. He hoists Kane up, gives him a kiss, rolls his eyes as if possessed and gives him a Sweet Abigail. Holy Hawaiian Shirts it is fast! I don't care who's doing what to whom and with how much cooperation: Bray Wyatt lifting Kane, Truth, and Tensai up into the Sweet Abigail position looks tough, and the speed at which he follows through is wicked. Then he gets all secretive and playful, shushing Kane and giggling as he admonishes him.
On the August 5 RAW, Harper and Rowan face Tons of Funk. What an old-school battle of caricatures, but a short-lived one. The Wyatts hold up Brodus Clay's defeated body, and Bray decides to take in the scene by bridging over backwards from the corner. It is a disturbing tableau. After he dispenses with Clay, he gives a short sermon and taunts Kane. Thinking he is done, he assumes the crucifix position and the lights go out. Kane flames! Harper and Rowan scramble to roll Clay's body out of the ring (I LOVE that part, as if they are totally accustomed to rolling bodies out of the way when they're caught off guard). Kane says that he sees through Bray's "haze of cryptic words" and challenges him at Summerslam. Bray nods and accepts with a smile that spreads into full-belly laughter as Kane ignites his pyro on the ring posts. They both seem to relish what's coming.
It makes sense that Bray would target the other preacher in town first. Kane is also pretty fondly regarded by the fans, so it means more to see him punished. Kane is a big man, accustomed to physically dominating the majority of his opponents. All the more shocking to see him be dominated with such violence. Wyatt hasn't been targeting the scrawny generic jobbers; he's starting strong and I like it.
If I'd never done the research for Wyatt 101, I would still think the Wyatt Family was interesting. Since their video debut on May 27, the Wyatts have been heavily promoted, well produced, and perhaps most importantly: prepared. Armed with a unique understanding of who they're supposed to be, all three men carry themselves with confidence. I personally think they've made a seamless transition to "the big shows". The next step is Summerslam, and I will be on the edge of my seat when the lantern is lit.
I'm on vacation next week, but I hope to send John a column to post for me (Part 2 of My All-Time Favorite Women of WWE)! Please use the friendly comment system below to let me know what you're thinking, and you can follow me on twitter @kickyhick. Thank you so much for reading!

Incapacity Planning - Living Wills, Guardianship, and Conservatorship
Advanced Medical Directives (e.g., living wills)
A living will outlines a person's wishes about medical treatments that sustain or prolong life while they are in a coma or a persistent vegetative state. If a person is in this type of condition, doctors will refer to his or her living will to determine whether or not the patient wishes to stay on life support or to be removed from it. This legal document prevents your family from having to make the difficult decision, and prevents arguments and alienation among family members, each of whom may have different ideas about which actions to take.
Other terms for living wills are advance directive, healthcare directive and physician's directive, but each serve the same purpose of informing health care professionals of the wishes concerning long-term life-sustaining care
Guardianship and Conservatorship
A guardianship is a legal proceeding in which an individual is appointed to provide for an incapacitated person. A guardian appointed by a court can be a burdensome and expensive process. The person needing the guardians help is called the "ward." The guardian is the person with the power to make decisions about the ward's person. Guardian types include:
- Limited guardianship - legal abilities are limited because the person needing the guardian's help (the ward) can make some, but not all, decisions.
- Plenary guardianship – the guardian can make all decisions for a ward's personal care and finances. It is a broad scope of power.
- Temporary guardianship - used for emergencies. The guardian's power is limited to a short period of time.
- Successor guardianship - this is the replacement guardian. This is used primarily if the first guardian resigns or can't continue serving due to death or illness.
- Standby guardianship - allows a court to provide a backup guardian, to quickly change between guardians which limits the gaps in caring for a ward's needs.
- Testamentary guardianship - a guardian can name a successor in their will, say to care for an adult disabled child. The court needs to approve the successor, but usually follows the will unless it finds the nominee isn't fit to serve.
- Short-term guardianship – If a guardian needs an alternate guardian to fill in, they can use this short-term guardian. It is not permanent.
"Conservatorship" refers to the person with responsibility for a ward's property and finances.Revocable Living Trust

A Holy Mass of Christian Burial for Ronald Frank Acosta, 53, of Sweetwater, will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 30, 2011, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church with Father Michael Udegbunam officiating. Interment will follow at Garden of Memories Cemetery under the direction of McCoy Funeral Home.
A rosary was recited Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011, at 7 p.m. at McCoy Chapel of Memories by Connie Palacios and Alice Velez.
Acosta died Monday, Sept. 26, 2011, at his home in Sweetwater.
So many of the stereotypes associated with bikers are of the negative kind. The Hells Angels MC are usually only in the news for something involving violence or worse, and the popular TV show Sons of Anarchy doesn't help the biker image either. Bikers tend to be avoided and are assumed to be violent individuals, and even worse when in a group. The general population only see leather clad, bandana-wearing, tattooed men and women that are loud, heavy drinkers, use colorful profanity and participate in all forms of debauchery.
Joseph Cardillo, Exalted Ruler of the Elks Lodge in Sweetwater, presented checks to Nolan VFD, Blackwell VFD, Maryneal VFD, Roscoe VFD and Lake Sweetwater VFD in the amount of $200 each. Funds came from a Gratitude Grant provided by the Elks National Foundation. Members not pictured: Johnny Ussery, Jeremey Gunn, Wil Hogan and Glyn Gunn from Nolan VFD, and all members of the Blackwell VFD. They were all dispatched to a grass fire south of Blackwell.
For the second year in a row, there will be two back-to-back fundraising events associated with the Round-Up for Rehab in Sweetwater to raise dollars for the West Texas Rehabilitation Center. A Shrimp Peel dinner and auction will be held at the Nolan County Annex on Tuesday evening, October 25th, the night before the sale at Sweetwater Auction which will take place on Wednesday, October 26th.
Technically, the Autumn equinox didn't officially start until about 3 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, but the temperature said otherwise that morning. Inez Walker of Sweetwater called that morning to let us know she had a beautiful bunch of flowers we just had to come and look at. She got the seeds from her church and decided to plant them in the backyard. Inez calls them Moon Flowers, because they start blooming late at night. A friend of hers calls them Angel Trumpets, and you can certainly see the resemblance. Whatever they're called, they smell wonderful and they look lovely.
Buzzi Unicem of Maryneal recently made a donation to the Maryneal Volunteer Fire Department. Shown from left to right are Jimmy Johns, Julie Hurn, Archie Woods, John Womble/Fire Chief, Bill Doggett/Buzzi UniCem Representative, Acey Hurn and Kyle Hale. The Maryneal VFD wants to thank Buzzi Unicem for the use of their water truck and maintainer during the large wildfires in June.

The "Gee Twins" and their Butterfly Pins

After their holiday recess, the Rental Policy Working Group– which includes representatives from HUD, the USDA, the Office of Management and Budget and the Treasury– released a comprehensive report designed to use findings to better streamline Federal rental policy. This goal has been high on the FHA's list of priorities and a favorite refrain of Senators like Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and Bob Corker (R-TN) since last session, and now we're seeing some commitment from other agencies to streamline procedures in order to cut wasteful spending and eliminate hurdles to the housing market.
The report contains policy proposals from each office outlining the steps they'll take to ensure consistency in enforcement and regulation. For example, the IRS seeks to address inconsistent income reporting guidelines across different states by creating common forms for income verification; HUD takes the lead on Energy Efficiency requirements and benefits along with the EPA, Treasury and USDA by applying common standards to federally funded but state administered programs like LIHTC.
The common thread to all of the proposals is better communication between agencies and a framework that emphasizes efficiency. Not only do the programs save state and local housing agencies money, but they also eliminate development hurdles and, in many cases, stand to stimulate the housing market by making development more affordable.

In preparation for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 Raekwon drops a video from the album and gives us a whole new mixtape. "Resolution" is from the new mixtape available on Raekwon's MySpace and here is what he had to say about it.
Click below to download the song and to see the video for "New Wu" (before I wrongly titled it "Wu Ooh").

DL: Raekwon ft. Maino – "Realer"
The Chef hits us with yet another track in his flurry of new music that he has delivered in the past few weeks. "Realer" is a banger, the chorus isn't too lyrical but the way he sings "I'm realer than you" is infectious. I am unsure of the placement of this track but I know it will not be on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. Raekwon is building a nice buzz for that album though with all these unreleased tracks and leaks from the album, it is shaping up to be a big year for him. Click the links below to catch yourself up on all the tracks he has released recently.
Raekwon ft. Ghostface Killah & Method Man – "Wu Ooh"
Q-Tip ft. Busta Rhymes, Raekwon & Lil Wayne – "Renaissance Rap" (Remix)
I have also seen this song titled "Back From the Slums" but most people seem to have it titled "Wu Ooh" which has to come from the sampled loop of the high pitched voices singing throughout the song. Judging from what we have heard already, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 is going to be a great album. It can't match the magic of the original album but should be a great album to listen all the way through. Make sure to click the break below to get another new track from Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and Crooked I called "Yes Sir" that isn't on OB4CL2, yesss sirrrrrr!

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Poor social and communication skills and psychosocial problems such as depression, low self-esteem and anger – all of which are often associated with disabilities – serve as risk factors for peer rejection and as predictors for bullying and victimization, according to a new study that was conducted at the University of Illinois.
The associations among these characteristics and problems may explain why students diagnosed with disabilities are often over-represented as bullies, victims – or both – in studies on peer aggression, said Chad A. Rose, the lead author of the study.
Much of the prior research on bullying has suggested that students with disabilities in general are at elevated risk of bullying involvement and has not examined specific characteristics that may heighten individual students' risk.
"The most fundamental message that we're trying to get across is that not all students with disabilities are at risk," Rose said. "There are specific characteristics associated with disabilities that may serve as risk factors – specifically, deficits in social skills and communication skills. But just because a student has a disability does not mean that they are any more at risk than students without disabilities."
Identifying the individual characteristics that may serve as risk factors is critical to developing interventions that reduce victimization and to monitoring and providing support to students that need it.
"From a policy standpoint, I would recommend incorporating social-emotional learning into education programs, meaning that we would support social and communication skill development for everyone, and increase those supports for students with disabilities that may have deficits in those skills," Rose said.
Behavior, including peer aggression, is communicative, and educators can perform functional behavioral assessments to determine what children are trying to communicate or obtain when they engage in proactive aggression.
"Oftentimes, bullying is serving a function for these students," said Rose, who taught youth with emotional and behavioral disorders for five years in Indiana high schools. "It is purposeful. And students will continue to use those behaviors because they have been reinforced, and they are effectively getting whatever the behaviors are designed or used to get. We have to separate the behaviors from the individuals and provide students with some sort of replacement behavior that addresses that function directly."
Once the function of the behavior is identified and a behavior intervention plan created, teachers can use differential reinforcement strategies to support prosocial behavior and reduce reinforcers or triggers for aggression and other inappropriate behavior, Rose said.
Rose and his study co-authors also recommend that schools incorporate multitiered bullying prevention programs that include schoolwide, classroom-, group- and individual-level interventions that address the specific and individualized needs of the student population.
Rose, who conducted the research while earning his doctorate at the University of Illinois, is a professor of special education at the University of Missouri. Rose's co-authors on the study were Dorothy L. Espelage, a U. of I. professor of child development in the department of educational psychology; Anjali Forber-Pratt, who earned her doctorate in human resource education at Illinois and is a research professor at the University of Kansas; and Steven R. Aragon, a professor of curriculum and instruction at Texas State University at San Marcos.
Espelage also was the guest editor of a special issue of the journal Theory into Practice in which the study was published, and she was the recipient of a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, which funded the research.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Poor social and communication skills and psychosocial problems such as depression, low self-esteem and anger – all of which are often associated with disabilities – serve as risk factors for peer rejection and as predictors for bullying and victimization, according to a new study that was conducted at the University of Illinois.
