3 Goals in the Correct Order Creates Business Growth
Business growth is a challenge for many small business owners. I frequently find the reason for their struggle is they are focused on the wrong objective for their stage of business growth. All small business owners should be focused on accomplishing 3 things and in this order:
- Breakeven
- Profitability
- Scalability
You see business growth is systematic. Therefore the objectives are already set. You need only apply the formula and your business will grow. Now, I won't tell you that it is easy to do. But, it is simple and not a mysterious secret that only certain people can decode. If you are willing to do the work, just follow the recipe and success can be yours.
Consistently Achieve Breakeven
Breakeven is your first goal toward business growth. While it seems pretty straight forward, you'd be surprised how many small business owners struggle with breakeven years after they have been in business.
Consistent breakeven means you can pay your bills every month. The problem is most small business owners don't know how it happens and cannot systematically make it happen month after month.
For example if you know we need 3 customers every month to pay our bills, then what is your plan every month to make sure this gets done, step 1, step 2, step 3 and so on.. Once you have defined the process train someone else to do it. It happens automatically and you don't have to worry about it ever again!
When you accomplish this you now have achieved the existence stage of the small business growth cycle. Now you can focus on the next goal – profitability.
Increase to Steady Profitability
Profitability is your next focus. Once you know you can pay the bills consistently you need not worry about this any more. Next, focus on what it takes to be consistently profitable every month. This should be pretty simple if you already know what it takes to breakeven add one more and you're profitable.
So, how profitable do you want to be? Do you have the excess capacity to sell to create this level of profitability? And, what step does it take (step 1 step 2, step 3, etc.) in order to consistently create this profitability month after month.
Again, once it's defined train someone else to do it; stop worrying about it; and move on. At this point you have achieved the survival stage.
Scale the Operation
Now that you can systematically pay the bills and create profitability, growing your business is just scaling the systems you've already create! This can get tricky. Because as you add more resources, it cost you more to run the business, thus your breakeven might change. But, if you've already mastered this formula it's just adjusting it to work on a bigger scale.
What I often find is because small business owners have mastered the first two systems when they get to this stage the business stagnates. The reason is the formula has changes but they never understood the formula in the first place. So, they get here and don't understand why it isn't working any more.
Once you've figured out how to adjust your formulas for breakeven and profitability as you grow then you've achieved the success stage of the business growth cycle. At this stage you have created independence for yourself. You can grow the business or just sit back and it will generate a comfortable income for you and your family.
Where are you at? Do you understand how to create consistent breakeven for your business? Or, have you moved on to profitability? If you've figured out these formulas for your business share how you got there. This is a journey every entrepreneur will take. Sharing your journey may help someone else navigate the process more easily.

But when it shifts to second gear it runs smooth, but then when I drive it on highways, I noticed a huge difference in rpm. It touches 4000rpm on 75-80 when it used to be under 3000rpm in past. When I take my foot off accelerator, rpm goes down to around 1500 rpm. And then when i try to re-accelerate the car, first rpm goes till atleast 3000 before car start to get an acceleration. I know there is sumthing wrong but can't figure it out. please help me and let me know how to fix it

1995 Maxima Engine StallingThe following happens intermittently: After my Maxima is driven, then allowed to sit for awhile (without completely cooling), it
turns over but does not start. Or it may briefly start, then stalls (it acts as if it's either flooded or not getting gas or spark). The only way it eventually starts is by fully depressing the accellerator (white smoke is visible for awhile). Recently, the car stalled while driving with the same hard-starting symptoms.

2001 Maxima Chassis, Suspension & Steering VibrationI was told by the mgr. at Midas today that I have a problem with the front rotors and the back brakes pads. They are hopeful the rotors can be resurfaced within standards.
He said the front pads seem to have been replaced fairly recently, but the back pads are in poor condition. I bought the car at 60, 000 miles and it now has about 68, 000. So, I do not know. I was told the back brake pads were at 1/32 and 2/32, which they said means they need to be replaced.
I am okay with resurfacing the front rotors and replacing the back brake pads. But, do I necessarily need new pads when I resurface the front rotors? And, do I necessarily need to resurface the back rotors just because I am replacing the back brakes. And finally, is brake cleaning $4.99 necessary?
Price list:
Brake Pad 65.99 + 40 labor
Brake Pad (opposite) 49.99 + 40 labor
Resurface front rotors 15 ea. side or $30
Resurface rear rotors 15 ea. side or $30
Brake clean 4.99

1987 Maxima General VibrationWhen accelerating at partial throttle at speeds of 55 to 75 mph a vibration is felt thru the steering wheel and passenger compartment. This happens when the car is in overdrive and seems to be related to a transmission problem(eg ;trying to make up its mind to be in overdrive or another gear). vibration goes away as transmission drops to a lower gear and engine speeds up.
1993 Maxima Electrical & Lighting Systems OtherNo high beam on right front. Bulb unit replaced, same thing. Switched sides, interchanging bulb units, still no high beam right side. Resistance checked, just no voltage coming through plug when on high beam.Relay? But where is the location? Relay box in engine compartment labled cornering lamp, but there is no relay there. The kicker is, never has been one there, and high beams worked until it started to occasionaly fail. Now nothing. No other electrical problems at all.

1999 Maxima Ignition System MalfunctionBought 99 Nissan Maxima SE w/84, 000 miles... ran great. Turned 100k last week and the next day (literally) the car suddenly began to idle roughly ( I noticed immediately ). The day after that it started sputtering especially when accelerating... the "service engine soon" light came on and began to blink. I looked it up in the owner's manual and the flashing light means that the engine is mis-firing. Replaced Bosch plat. spark plugs with new Bosch platinums. No improvment. Took it to a Nissan dealer, they diagnosed it and said that 2 coils were bad... so i bought the parts from the dealer, the mechanic showed me which two coils needed to be replaced, and later that day I installed the new ones in about 10 mins. The car ran perfect at that moment... better than it had when i bought it. Felt like it had more torque down low in the powerband, and made shifts smoother and easier ( 5 spd ).
Three days later the car started to sputter again... not as bad as before but seems to be getting worse... especially down low in the powerband. Pretty much smooths out past 3k rpm. The next day (today) the "service engine soon" light came on again... but so far hasn't blinked on and off like it did before. Still sputtering and feels like it's mis-firing, especially during acceleration. I feel like the coils going bad was probably the result of something "higher up" in the system malfunctioning... And now it's happening again.
Imagine that. The Nissan dealer has mis-diagnosed the problem. HELP!!!!!!!

1990 Maxima General StallingHi, I just had the transmission rebuilt on my 90 Maxima SE. A week later it started stalling out on a cold shift. If the RPMs weren't below 1000 it would shut down shifting out of park. If I did manage to get it started and the engine wasn't wram enough, the first gear shift would bang and when braking the car would shudder almost or to the point of shutdown. I took it back to the rebuilder and they said it was not a trans problem. they found crack in two of my vaccum hoses, fixed that and the problem disappeared for a week. Since the rebuilder said it wasn't the trans I took it to a nissan dealer who also didn't believe that it was a trans problem. After having the 60K maintenance done at the dealer they found nothing wrong. However when checking for the cold start problem the found my ignition wires sparking. The replaced the ignition wires and the distributor cap. That fixed it for a week. The problem has resurfaced, but now the car has to be really cold to stall. In the midst of that, the car seems to be degrading on everything that has to do with the transmission. The shift lock (which I have never used during the 3 years that I have owned the car) is locking as soon as you shift to park L BY ITSELF. When I took it back to the dealer to tell them that the distributor cap, ignitions wires and now this shift locking, they are now admitting that it is a transmission problem. After that, now the car gets stuck in remote start. I remote start it, and without the key in the ignition I hit the brake. The car is supposed to shut off, but it doesn't. If I put the key in, turn it, put my foot on thebrake and switch gears it shuts down, but the second I put the car into park and take my foot off the brake the car restarts by itself. I have to use the remote to turn the car off and start it with the key to get anywhere (Of course after it warms up). I've been going through this process for over a month now back and forth and the old broke transmission never did this and I have never experienced it before. is this truely an trans problem or could it be somethign else?

1989 Maxima Ignition System Won't StartHad the 89 Maxima SE for a month. Has always started right up every time until I took to the store and came back 15 min later and it cranked but didn't start. Was stranded, came back next morning, started on first crank. Took it in to shop, they tested things out found no problem. It happened to them once when it was cold so they tested battery, starter but unable to pinpoint problem. It turns over good, just doesn't ignite. Sometimes a light in the dash to rhs of speedo fades off and on. Dash needs tap ocassionally when temp gauge drops to cold or hot when engine is warm but not sure if they are related. Compression test is good, running premium fuel. It idles at 1500rpm as opposed to 1, 000rpm before problem. Runs great when it starts 98% of the time but don't want to get stranded again. Thanks.
1995 Maxima Drive Train & Driveline OtherMy 95 maxima has been a great car for me until just a few days ago.When I accelerate lightly from a stop, the 1-2 shift is delayed slightly, and is very hard when it occurs.When I accelerate at a moderate to heavy throttle pressure, perfect shifts occur, all the way up.When the tranny goes into overdrive, and then full converter lock-up, I back off on the throttle to maintain a set speed of 65MPH, the tranny seems to loose the overdrive gear, or lock-up, the engine goes up aprox 800rpm, and then the tranny seems to hunt around for the correct gear and lock-up pattern again.This cycle goes on and on if I maintain or slightly decrease throttle pressure.If I keep increasing throttle pressure, every works perfect, accept I can only accelerate for so long.Where would you start on this one?The tranny was fully serviced at 65000 miles, and currently has 110000 miles on it.Any direction and or help would be greatly appreciated.With Todd.

Also, I test drove another Maxima similar to mine to try to diagnose the problem.

Car only has 32, 770 miles, but has been hesitating ever since I bought it from the dealer with 28, 096 miles only 6 months ago. Changed transmission fluid before 30, 000 miles, fluid had no burnt odor, color, or metal fibers in it. I have only been using BP/Amoco 93 octane gas since I bought the car. Changed fuel filter, flushed radiator, and changed the air filter. I do oil changes religiously every 3 months or 3, 000 miles, whichever comes first.

1998 Maxima Engine Making Noise1998 Nissan Maxima GLE. After engine is warm, while driving at a high rate of speed (55mph+), I just began noticing a high-pitched noise coming from the engine that is directly correlated to the amount of pressure being applied to the accelerator. When accelerating, the noise gets louder. When you take your foot off the gas and coast, it goes away. This only happens when driving 55mph+ and after the engine is warm.
It almost sounds like a motor of some kind is running just in front of the steering wheel. The weirdest part is it will make a noise for a few minutes, and then stop, and then come back within about a minute. Very odd.
I took it to a guy here in town and he thought it was a wheel bearing. Nope, replaced the bearing and still making noise. He said he subscribes to this bulletin service and one he ran across that sounded like this problem was AT99-003. Don't know if that means anything to you. Another thing this guy mentioned was a clutch pack.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts/comments on this. Thank you.

1990 Maxima Ignition System Won't StartCar has 225K on it and never a problem. Drove 200 miles on freeway. Sat in driveway for two days in 45 degree temperature. Could not start. Battery is new and powerful. Cranks hard and strong. Smell of fuel if you pump accelerator. Seems to have no spark at all. Has new plugs.

Had never seen that light come on before.
1998 Maxima Drive Train & Driveline HesitatingThe problem on a 3.0L engine 1998 Nissan Maxima GLE: The automatic transmission will not downshift to its lowest gear unless the car comes to a complete stop. If the driver slows down to a near stop (1mph) then tries to accelerate quickly, the car tries to move forward in 3rd gear unless the gas pedal is pushed to the floor. Once the pedal is depressed completely, the car revs and slams into the lower gear.
I bought this car with only 28, 096 miles from a certified Nissan dealer. I changed the transmission fluid twice and long before 30, 000 miles.
Other things done to the car with no results:
Changed all six ignition coils & spark plugs
Changed knock sensor (actually had some result, car became more responsive and the shift delay got shorter but soon returned)
Changed TPS
Changed VSS on top of the transmission
The ECU was reset by computer and by small silver screw on the side of the unit
Flushed out tranny fluid twice and changed the metal screen filter that was totally clean with no big metal shavings but did have normal tiny wear and tear metal shavings on the magnets of the transmission oil pan--which was also cleaned and put back with a replaced gasket
Adjusted throttle cable for any slack
Took the car to Nissan a countless amount of times where they used the realtime CONSULT-II Program and found nothing wrong. They then took it for a one hour and a half test drive and found everything functioning correctly.
Car has no service engine soon light on, so I guess the onboard computer isn't detecting any major problems.
What could be causing my car's late delayed shifting before a complete stop? After the ECU reset the car is now idling at 500 RPM when it is stopped in drive or reverse, and the steering wheel shakes a bit. That was something it didn't do before. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

1995 Maxima Electrical & Lighting Systems MalfunctionThe check engine lite is always on, this is sthe 3rd time in 4 months and it costs $80 to get it reset. The first time the oxygen sensor was bad and the car ran poorly. Second time no symptoms, just a bill. Third time no symtoms and I want to reset the lite myself. Can I??
1996 Maxima Engine VibrationHi,
I just started noticing a small vibration when accelerating through 2500rpm. It only happens exactly at 2500, not above or below. It feels like a small rough patch and makes a slightly higher pitched noise than just the normal engine sound. I recently had my exhaust looked at (for something else) and the guy told me I had a small exhaust leak. Other than that, the car runs great and have had very few problems. Is this something I should worry about?
1994 Maxima Engine TuningI need to find the ecm on a 1994 nissan maxima. When it idles it dropped low and tries to die. The timing is off.
1991 Maxima Fuel System Won't StartFirst of all : great site !
1. Nissan V6 3.0 5 speed since a few days does not start immediately in the morning, feels like an old days carb flodding.With throttle full down it comes on like a John Deer, gas fumes (whiteish) from the exhaust smell like 3 gallons on a mile for a minute. Then the engine runs smooth again like new, no overheating, no cooling problems. It starts all day and night with a click. Next morning.....same problem. Any suggestions for a Dutch, more than satisfied Maxima pilot. ( WhataCar )
1990 Maxima Drive Train & Driveline SlippingThe auto transmission is not shifting properly. The problem is most obvious when the cruise control is on and starting up a slight hill. The engine rpm (if I allow it) will sometimes go to redline before the transmission will downshift. I changed the fluid and the problem immediately was worse. The problem seems to be very much related to overdrive. I can manually turn off the overdrive as the engine rpm starts to rise and the transmission will downshift normally. If I turn the overdrive on and off during normal driving, I can make the transmission behave almost normally. Of course this gets aggrevating. With the cruise control off and while accelerating I can punch the accelerator to the floor and most of the time the transmission will down shift ok even with the overdrive turned on. The problem seems to get worse as the fluid heats up. Also I have noticed two or three times (with a warm transmission) that the problem seems to disappear for a short time. The car has 202, 000 miles on it so I don't really want to spend big bucks to fix the problem or rebuild the transmission. On the other hand, the rest of the car is sound. I use the car to commute to work and with todays gas prices, investing in this car will have some return. Assuming the rest of the car stays sound. Always risky investing in a 16 year old vehicle. Thanks!!

1989 Maxima Fuel System OtherStarts quickly idles rough, Control Module does not show any problem, must put in minimal drivability mode to drive, no indicator lights while driving.
Car runs fine until the first stop, and then upon acceleration the car does nothing. Still running but not moving, continuing to press the accelerator, you can smell gas (as in flooded) sitting for a few minutes without pressing the gas, the car will then run (fine??) until the next stop. Then the same problems.
I took it to a "hotrod" shop they said bad fuel injectors.
I took it to a shop in business 40 years for a 2nd opinion; they said "I don't know, can't figure it out"
I took it to Nissan, they said "BAD MOTOR" no other explanation . . . It is no longer starting!
Any help?
1993 Maxima Drive Train & Driveline Making NoiseJust wanted to say I think this website is a great resource. I've never bought parts off the internet and I was amazed at the money I could be saving!
I hear a clicking noise when I make sharp turns. I know it's the axle, and I'm planning on buying a new one because I'm going on a road trip across the country soon. Do you think I should replace both front axles at the same time?
I've changed my own oil, brakes, spark plugs, air filter, belts, stereo, and alternator. Are the axles something I can do myself, and if so, can you tell me how? Or should I go buy the Chilton's manual?
1998 Maxima Engine HesitatingHi,
My 1998 Nissan Maxima has some engine surging between 2000-2400 rpm. It happens in second, and third gear. It stops surging after it hits about 2500 rpm. Do you know what it is? By surging, I mean the car will hit 2000 rpm, pause for a half sec hit 2200 rpm pause...etc etc
1994 Maxima Drive Train & Driveline ChuggingWhen I have to stop quickly, I notice a low hum and shuddering coming from the engine. This happens for 1 to 2 seconds as the car is quickly slowing to about 5 miles per hour. It stops at about the same time as the car stops moving. The engine seems to be straining at low rpm when this happens as if the automatic transmission is not downshifting/disengaging(?) right away. It only happens on quick stops. I had another '94 Maxima and never noticed this problem. Any ideas?

PGA Tour Wives Trying to Become More Relevant
NBA wives, watch out, because PGA Tour ladies could soon be giving you a run for your fame-yearning money.
Five PGA Tour wives/girlfriends have pitched an idea to get their own reality show, roughly called "I Never Knew Marrying a Dorky White Golfer Could Be This Awesome."*
This is all according to Golf.com's Alan Bastable ...
"We're the bad girls, I don't know what else to say," Liz Estes, Bob's wife and one of the women pursuing the show, said half-jokingly in a phone interview.
Joining Estes in her quest for reality-TV stardom are Melissa Weber Jones, wife of Matt Jones and a former Miss Idaho, and Alli MacKenzie, Will's wife and a model who has been featured in a pictorial in the men's magazine FHM. (Leot Chen, Vaughn Taylor's fiancée, and Erin Walker, Jimmy's wife, who writes a blog about traveling on Tour, also partook in the photo shoot, but they said they have no interest in appearing on a reality show.)
I mean, it isn't a bad idea at all for these ladies to pitch this thing, but it's also one of those things to will need to appeal to a completely different demographic than actual golfers. While these females are all attractive, I don't know a golf fan over the age of 28 that would be caught dead seeing what these ladies are doing each week. (Which is mostly hitting up the local Nordstroms, getting massages, figuring out the best sushi spot in town and patiently waiting it out until a glass of wine is acceptable.)
So, honest question ... would you tune in to watch PGA Tour wives hang around and do stuff they normally do, or is this idea a little too crazy?

if bravo tv can make a gazillion dollars pimping botoxed, fake tanned women with too much money and time on their hands, then why not these vacuous vixens? it will do nothing but reiterate that golf is a rich, white man's pursuit and wouldn't that be the BEST thing for the Tour? *squeal*

I think what appeals to many viewers of these types of shows is the amount of money they spend on frivolous things and the general silliness of their antics. Do PGA Tour husbands make enough money for their wives to pull this off? Will they spend $30 grand on a toddler's birthday party? Will they get into a drunken fight over the cabana boy? That's the kind of ridiculousness that viewers like - not sure if it matters all that much what the husbands do.

Another Christmas Eve, and Monica Ness, still feeling the sting of Christmases past, wants nothing to do with it. Turning on her TV to escape the usual holiday hoopla, and the thought of another evening living next door to a neighbor she can't stand, Monica is suddenly confronted by the ghosts of Jimmy Stewart, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby and Natalie Wood, who miraculously pop out of their Christmas movies and through her TV screen on a mission to bring her a little Christmas cheer, Hollywood style. When the stars realize that Monica is not such an easy customer, they cook up a plan to generate a little assistance from that annoying next door neighbor.
As their plan unfolds into a musical comedy of errors, Monica and her neighbor Steve, not only rediscover Christmas, but a capture their own Hollywood romance.
TINSELTOWN Christmas, is a contemporary musical appropriate for all ages.

CHICAGO (AP) - Ian Kinsler raced around the bases for a bizarre inside-the-park homer and Adam Rosales had a conventional two-run shot, helping the Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 11-5 on Friday night.
The AL West-leading Rangers (75-53) had five homers in all while winning for the 19th time in 23 games to move a season-high 22 games over .500. Jeff Baker and pinch hitter Mitch Moreland each had two-run shot, and Adrian Beltre belted a solo drive.
The White Sox were unable to overcome a shaky outing by ace Chris Sale, ending a season-high six-game winning streak. Sale (9-12) allowed eight runs and eight hits in seven innings.

Remarkable, the Chairman of the Senate's Armed Forces Committee, Democrat Carl Levin, has publicly warned President Obama that he will not support sending more troops to Afghanistan. At the same time Obama's election foe, Senator John McCain, has publicly stated that we must send more troops to that country to prevent a military catastrophe. If Obama decides to send more troops, he will be seen as responding to the Republican view. If he follows the Democrat view, he may have trouble explaining a future debacle in that country. Not a happy situation for the President.
There is a chorus of voices out there urging that we not get involved in another "nation building" excercise, a la Iraq. They call for limiting our role to taking out Benny Laden and his gang and their cover, the Taliban. Or course it is hard to see how we do this if we withdraw from the battlefield. The US military is not John Rambo, who can drop behind enemy lines and single handedly eliminate the "bad guys." No, the US military must pad the dirt in dogged pursuit of its quarry.
Perhaps the most important voice to listen to now is that of those who remind us that we took out the Taliban government in Afghanistan, not by direct action, but by getting the Afghans themselves to do the job. We developed a coalition of the "willing" from the vast array of local war lords and other strong men to remove the Taliban. Of course we supplied the were-with-all, including the money to pay off key players and hire on more guns. But the job was done by Afghanis, not "foreign devils," i.e. the US military. The suggestion here is that we return to indirect action to keep the Taliban from returning to power and thus providing a shelter for Benny Laden, his gang and any other "terrorist" groups who need a safe place to pitch their tent. Millions for hit men, not for our men to get hit.
It all goes back to what I learned years ago in the Peace Corps. You must allow changes in a government or society to come from the people involved, not outsiders, i.e. Americans. You can help them when they ask, and with what they ask for, but you cannot lead the charge. No matter how goodly your objectives and motivations may be, you are the outsider meddling in their affairs.
Perhaps the best lesson we learned in this respect was in Somalia. We sent our troops into that sorry country to protect the delivery of food stuffs to people starving to death. We wound up being blamed for causing the whole mess and with our troops being sitting ducks for Somali armed thugs. We withdrew from Somalia and have not sent our troops back into any African conflict.
Let us go back to the successful formula of 2001 when we orchestrated an Afghan coup to remove the Taliban. For that matter, it was the same way we got the Afghanis themselves to remove the Soviets and their puppet regime. No need to lead the charge, just provide the powder and shot.

I met up with some of my old work crew at the Sazerac where we each had a Sazerac at the Sazerac Official Drink ceremony.
Then I we went it seach of the Grey Goose hospitality area at the Monteleone Hotel but, on the way we got sidetracked by the big Bombay exhibit, Had two drinks there then on to get something to eat at Johnny's Po Boys since all the restaurants were full. Then we stumbled onto the Cointreau area which after drinking a few Cointreau/tequilla drinks, I was almost done!
Lots of folks from out of town as this event is growing every year and is on the verge of becoming a huge tourist event. Great way for the liquor comapnies to get folks to sample thier product, so the major distrilleries are 100% behind it.
I may go back tonight and find that Grey Goose exhibit !

Hell of a series guys. Blazers gave my Mavs all they could handle. Add a few more players and you guys will have a very good team for a long time.
Love this time of year. Can't wait for Thurs. night.
Butler: love the stats. Love it when someone blogs and can back up a statement with cold hard facts. Still love my Mavs if the series goes to Game 7. Don't know the Mavs' winning percentage in a Game 7 home playoff game, but I can't recall them losing one in the last 11 years.
Butler: at least we have a playoff history.
Mavs have obviously been the better team the last 2 games and this series would already be over if not for a miracle Game 4 4th quarter. Mavs know they can win in Portland after letting one get away. No way Blazers can win in Dallas if series goes 7 games! And I think the Blazers know that. Mavs in 6- just like I predicted before the series started.
Hmm.... let's see..Blazers get hacked in the 2nd half in Game 5 and need God to intervene to win Game 4. And some of you shmucks STILL think Blazers are the better team?
Mavs know they can win in Portland after blowing Game 4. Blazers can't win in Dallas. Period.
Woofers: Who gives a flip about a 23-point choke after the Mavs win this series?
The end is near..... Blazershmucks!
Turn out the lights........
No miracle finish tonight Blazershmucks! Order has been restored in the universe!!
Have you Blazershmucks noticed how much better looking the women at the Mavs' games are compared to the women at Portland home games? LOVE those hometown Dallas ladies!
Dirk will not let the Mavs lose!
No miracle finish tonight. Mavs will regain control of the series at home.
Blazers suck! Mavs 3-1!
Here we go....Mavs have settled down and are doing their thing. Dirk is a beast!
I picked the Mavs in 6. Can't see the series going past 5 games after watching the Blazers stumble in Texas. Actually I'm a little surprised that they didn't put up much of a fight in Game 2. Guess they're banking on winning both home games and tying up the series. Good luck with that with the NBA's best road team coming to town. A split in Blazerland is more likely in the cards. Aldridge is a very good player (plus he's from Texas- bonus!), but he has no sidekick. Dirk seems to have a different sidekick show up every night. One night it's Kidd, next night it's Peja/Barea. It will probably be Beubois if he plays tonight. Remember that you guys are playing a team with one of the deepest- if not THE deepest- benches in the league. You guys have a nice team, but not nearly enough firepower to match up with the veterans from Texas. But don't fret Blazerfans. Your team will win a game at some point. I said Mavs in 5, not 4.
P.S. Your team might want to guard our 3-point shooters tonight.....just a thought.
C'mon Nate! Let's hear you blame the officials again for another loss. Let's not give the Mavs credit again for actually being the better team.
Drink up Butler! You're gonna need it!
Wow...been really surprised at the reaction and all the talk from you Blazer fans all week. You guys actually believe and almost expect to win this series. Based on what? Mavs are clearly the superior team with too many weapons for the Blazers to deal with. Can't blame the refs for this loss. One night it's Kidd, next night it's Peja. Yes, Blazers will win a game at home. But the team with the best road record in the league will win 1 out the 2 games at Portland and then take care of business at home in Game 5. No way Blazers can win the next 4 out of 5 against a team playing this well.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2006 America's two million men and women in uniform are meeting demands around the globe, and "are doing a terrific job," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said today.
But with 138,000 troops in Iraq and an ongoing need to modernize the force, defense officials "have to continue to find ways to see that the force is not stretched," the secretary said.
"They're in Afghanistan. They're in Iraq," he told reporters at the Pentagon. "They're fighting fires in Washington state and in the West. We just put 6,000-plus National Guard forces on our Southern border. They were involved in the Pakistan earthquake and (Hurricane) Katrina. So there are a great many things that our forces do."
Despite these demands, Rumsfeld said, people continue to join the military and troops continue to remain on duty. "Recruiting and retention are up month after month after month after month meeting their targets," he said.
While no one wants to be in a conflict, Rumsfeld said America's troops are "the best trained, the best led, the best-equipped forces on the face of the Earth in the history of the country, and they're doing a wonderful job for our country."

Well, I was thinking of labeling the slots for the sizes of the DPN's, but since I'm still collecting them, and reorganizing them constantly, I ditched the idea. I currently tell the size by putting them in order from small to large (first bottom row, then top row). Also, there are a few sizes I know just by looking at them, so it makes reference easy. Also, on the bamboo needles, the sizes are printed on the needles.
When in doubt, of course, I use my handy dandy needle gauge! (shown in the lower right pocket.)
Amigarabita-- yes I made the design, but it's based on other ones I've seen, so I didn't invent it totally. Although I did invent the trick for the back row, to hold long or short needles! (I'm rather proud of that!) :D

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."

Nissan Altima V8 Supercar hits the track [video]
Enters competition early next year
Nissan has released a new video of their Altima V8 Supercar that will compete in the Australian V8 Supercar Championship.
Driven by Todd Kelly, the Altima puts in a few laps at Australia's Calder Park Raceway for aerodynamic testing. According to Kelly, "This is really the result of everything we've designed and worked for this year." He added, "The car feels unbelievable and sounds unbelievable."
As we have previously reported, the Altima V8 Supercar features a production-based VK56DE engine, a transaxle gearbox and an independent rear suspension. It is also equipped with an aerodynamic body kit that includes a front splitter, a rear diffuser and a prominent wing.

Why can't ALL Altima's sound like that!??!?!??!

you obvious dont follow V8 supercars. The Chassis is built by a different company. They have no choice but to widen the body to adjust for the wide track.
Nov 7th, 2012 12:49am
That front track is way unnecessarily wide for a Nissan... they could prolly go 1/3 that width.

Wonderful that it was right on the Ganges. The staff were super welcoming. Enjoyed Golou's enthusiasm and friendliness. As others noted, there is no elevator so if you have sore knees, might be a little rough.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is still trying to walk back a walk-back.
Pundits saw weakness when Pawlenty refused to go on the attack in the GOP debate two weeks ago after he was asked to discuss rival Mitt Romney's health care plan. Pawlenty had earlier compared the plan to President Obama's controversial health care overhaul -- coining the term "Obamneycare" -- but looked uncomfortable and wouldn't repeat the phrase during the debate.
Now, he's trying to double down.
"It's easy to take on Mitt Romney on health care," Pawlenty said Monday morning on NBC's Today show. "The idea that I'm not tough enough to take on Mitt Romney or anyone else is just ridiculous."
Pawlenty defended the debate dithering by saying he'd decided to focus on President Obama.
"I think the press was expecting a more direct confrontation with Gov. Romney," Pawlenty said. "I'm happy to give them that, if that's what they want."
The presidential candidate also brushed off early poll results that show him with just 6 percent of the vote in Iowa.
"These early polls aren't very good predictors of how the race is going to come out," Pawlenty said. "Iowans decide late."
Later, on the CBS Early Show, Pawlenty sought to undercut Romney's strong performance -- and his own weak showing -- in a Des Moines Register poll released this weekend.
"The early polls don't mean much. If they did, Hillary Clinton or Rudy Giuliani would be president today," Romney said, referring to the two early front-runners in Iowa in 2007. "Mike Huckabee won the Iowa caucuses last time and he was actually lower in the polls at that time than we are."
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
He also noted that the poll was taken just as his media in the state is starting, so the effect of that push probably wasn't taken into account. He called the poll part of the "warm-ups or preseason."
"These early polls are interesting to the media, but they're very poor predictors of who actually wins," Pawlenty said.

As a resident of tiny Smithville, Texas (between Austin and Houston), this past Labor Day I was able to observe firsthand the largest and most horrific wildfire in Texas history (which ravaged the area) and also its aftermath. The event — labeled the Bastrop County Complex fire — once again gave rise to the stories that restore one's faith in people: Neighbors as well as citizens from states around the nation responded immediately to the plight of victims. Yet at the same time, the intrusion of the U.S. government agency FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency), with its bureaucratic regulations, provided a clear lesson on why federal aid is not the answer in such situations.
The conflagration began in Bastrop County on September 4 when a downed tree sparked a power line. Given that Texas is in the midst of the most severe single-year drought since the 1950s, parched terrain and high temperatures provided the perfect fuel for immediate ignition. High winds spread the blaze at an alarming rate. It jumped the Colorado River and eventually destroyed nearly 1,600 homes and about 34,000 acres. Amazingly, only two people died as a result of the wildfire. The fire burned a six-mile-wide and 16-mile-long swath between Bastrop (the county seat) and Smithville — with major damage in rural areas outside the limits of the two towns.
Private Response
For whatever reason, it appeared that tiny Smithville (pop. 4,000) was able to organize donation and volunteer efforts somewhat more quickly and efficiently than its troubled neighbors. Donations poured in from across the nation, and firefighters and volunteers didn't wait for invitations. As a volunteer, your reporter witnessed the remarkable phenomenon of every person seemingly being in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. Church kitchens produced hundreds of meals daily for firefighters, volunteers, and evacuees; empty warehouse space was opened to accept, organize, and distribute donations; keys to necessary buildings appeared; and forklifts with operators showed up to transport donations to the appropriate places — all in clockwork fashion.

Below is the poem entitled She was my sister my once valiant hero which was written by poet
howard. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Rebecca Howard
She was my sister, so pretty so strong
She made me feel as though I belonged
She sang to me of angels and god
She came to me whenever I called
But then one day an evil overtook
My loving sister I found as she shook
I found her one day on her bedroom floor
A bottle of pills and needles unsure
With tears in her eyes she told me one thing
That I was her hero
She asked me to sing
The song that I sung was of angels and god
But this one last time it was me that she called
And with one last hard breath
She breathed no more
And she died right there on her bed room floor
I started to scream I stood just to fall
My mother came running and was shocked at what she saw
She picked up the phone and called 911
With tears in her eyes she told what she saw
Only minutes later we heard the sirens near
The doctors rushed in announced she was dead
And silently took my hero to her bed
My sister the angel still helps me along
She sings to me of angels and god
And she answers me now whenever I call
She was my sister my once valiant hero
She is my sister, who's now with god.

|Exhibition - David Macaulay: The Art of Drawing Architecture
|Thursday, 17 January 2008 19:00
Ending May 4, 2008
For more than 30 years, David Macaulay's drawings have unearthed "the way things work." Trained as an architect, Macaulay has long been fascinated by large-scale constructions, and his accessible illustrations teach viewers to see, and understand, the architectural and engineering processes behind structures. Macaulay's unique brand of drawing, which can be described as visual archeology, not only peels back exterior facades and interior walls, but also shows us how buildings were designed and constructed from the ground up. David Macaulay: The Art of Drawing Architecture focuses on the artist's use of drawing to research historic buildings, to render architecture from engaging perspectives, to reveal underlying structures, and to critique and redesign, in a playful manner, the contemporary landscape of American architecture.
