Organizational Culture and Its Themes
As one of the key 'stable factors', culture within an organization is playing a critical role in the organization's everyday operations. Although the culture literature has at times focused on the culture of an organization as shared basic assumptions (Schein, 1985), or as metaphors within organizations (Morgan, 1986, 1997), it is not sufficient to attempt to understand and measure them. This paper explores organizational culture in general, some definitions and implications of organizational culture are reviewed from different perspectives, and Cliffe's cultural themes are addressed with the use of Scholes' cultural web and Hofstede's onion diagram model of organizational culture.

As I finish work on my prototype I have been doing a lot of works with sensors. As such, I have learned a lot about sensors, specifically Proximity Sensors, and Accelerometers. Working with sensors has been very fun, but however has required a lot of extra work; to learn how to use the sensors themselves. I have prepared a video for you to see, so that you can see some closeups of the sensors.

Conservation and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems
National Fish Passage Program
Nationally, an estimated 2.5 million river obstructions fragment our waterways. These include culverts, dikes, water diversions, dams, railroad trestles and other artificial barriers built to impound or redirect water for flood control, production of electricity, water supply, and transportation. Many of these structures are aging and unsafe. All of these change the natural features of our rivers, degrading habitat and blocking the natural migration of fish to historic habitat used for reproduction and growth. As a result, some populations of native fish have been lost and others are on the brink of disappearing.
Service biologists from the Northeast are restoring rivers to a free-flowing healthy state that better supports native fishes, other aquatic species, birds and wildlife. Regional biologists and engineers are working together with local communities and organizations to reconnect rivers. Dams are removed and culverts replaced with fish-friendly passage structures like open-bottom arched culverts or bridges. This helps towns save money that they can ill afford to apply to the maintenance of an unsafe, obsolete, or abandoned dams and culverts. When dams are deemed by communities as too important to remove or breach, our engineers assist in designing fishways to pass fish above and below the dams. The conserved ecosystems that result help the wildlife adapt to both climate change and other unforeseen environmental concerns.
In 2010, the Northeast Region received $1.3M out of the National total of $10.8M for program implementation. About $249,000 were used for project coordination and engineering. The remaining funds fueled eleven on-the-ground projects in ten states plus the technical experts to do the work. Nationally, each dollar of fish passage funds averages a match of $3 in partner funding. And, each river mile restored to fish passage has an economic value to the community of over $500,000.
Partners on these non-regulatory projects include towns, non-profit conservation groups and watershed associations, States, other programs within the agency like Partners for Fish and Wildlife and National Wildlife Refuges, and other Federal agencies like the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Egyptian troops injured eight protesters outside the Egyptian Defense Ministry's building on Friday.
The crowd began throwing rocks at the soldiers who responded with tear gas and water cannons. The protesters attempted to cut through barbed wire that surrounded the defense ministry building along with ripping down a metal fence at a nearby construction site in an attempt to use it as a barricade.
The protesters were calling for the ousting of the military ruling council's head, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi.
The escalating violence continues as the first free elections in Egypt are three weeks away.

Greek Debt Restructuring Off the Table: EU Official
Posted By MarleighJones On June 19, 2011 @ 7:47 am In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
June 19, 2011
A restructuring of Greece's 340 billion euro ($481.5 billion) debt is not on the agenda and would damage the country's credibility on bond markets, the European Union's internal markets commissioner said on Saturday.
Forcing Greece's private creditors to take part in an upcoming aid package would count as a restructuring and is not being considered either, Michel Barnier told Europe 1 radio.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
"This question of a restructuring … is not on the table," he said. "It would only postpone the problem and in the wake of a restructuring Greece would face exactly the same difficulties and would no longer have any credibility to borrow."

Obama's Real World Constitutional Law Practice Experience and Civil Rights Expertise is Questionable
President Barack Obama and community organizing……
Fact Check: the hypocracy of President Barack Obama
"But Obama declined the job offers from top Manhattan law firms, with their starting salaries that neared the $100,000-a-year range, in order to return to Chicago and work for a small firm that specialized in civil-rights law. This was an especially unglamorous and modest-paying field of law, for it involved defending the poor and the marginalized members of society in housing and employment discrimination cases."
……the extent of President Barack Obama's civil rights law experience is limited to housing and employment discrimination, and/or worthless racial profiling litigation.
Constitutional law/rule of law/civil rights law is founded in the U.S. Constitution and respective State Constitutions, meaning President Barack Obama has no real world court law practice experience in the actual practice of Constitutional law, the rule of law, and/or even basic civil right protections based upon the "Bill of Rights".
A "community organizer" is an agitator -- a rabble-rouser. The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the "realization" that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent "self-interest" in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease. In these methods, euphemistically labeled "community organizing," Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.
……..this is very reminiscent to Reverend Jesse Jackson's shakedown of corporations under the guise of doing this for the disenfranchised, but in reality doing this to enrich Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Competent Civil Rights and Constitutional lawyers win big, meaning President Barack Obama doesn't have a clue as to the value of being a competent civil rights lawyer!

"If gold ruste, what shal iren do?"
By Diogenes (bio - articles ) | Apr 29, 2003
Father Jose Angel Salazar, a priest of the Diocese of Corpus Christi (pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Mathis, TX and member of the diocesan presbyteral council), has welcomed the recent CDF document on political life by giving $250 to the presidential campaign of Howard Dean. According to tray.com, the date of the gift was March 31.
While Dean is 100% pro-abortion, as is typical for Democratic candidates, he's a particularly zealous missionary for the culture of death, for he is the only governor to date who has signed into law a bill recognizing homosexual civil unions.
Our Lord teaches in today's Gospel reading that the Spirit blows where He wills. Perhaps the Spirit will move some to call or write letters (with documentation enclosed) to Father Salazar's superiors to inform them of the incident: Most Rev. Edmond Carmody, Bishop of Corpus Christi, PO Box 2620, Corpus Christi, TX 78403; Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, Prefect, Congregation for the Clergy, Piazza Pio XII 3, 00193 Rome, Italy. The Diocese of Corpus Christi's phone number is 361-882-6191; its fax number is 361-654-1270.

How many inches is the st louis area suppose to get of snow tomorrow?
On January 7, 2013, there will likely be no snowfall and the temperature will be at or around 25°F with the wind chill approaching -15F. Check out the ten-day weather forecast at Weather.com - Saint Louis Weather.
According to KMOV.com, heavy snow combined with strong winds and bitter cold created a dangerous winter mix recently, prompting everything from churches to tourist attractions and even the St. Louis region's sole ski resort to shut down amid warnings that only those who absolutely need to venture out should do so.
Just recently, a $2 million bequest from a free spirit of St. Louis high society has helped Epworth Children and Family Services move forward with a drop-in center for older or aged-out foster youths in Normandy. Find out more at Belleville News Democrat.

June 1, 2014 Design of the Month
While recognizing that each home and each family are unique, we still like to say that our closet organizers in Connecticut understand how homes work. They understand how homes in Connecticut, and everywhere else, are more harmonious when they are clean and orderly. Without custom closets, it is quite hard to do that. Generic closet systems are rarely, if ever, effective in eliminating clutter and providing sustainable solutions for storage.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 89 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2guls corner swags I have bought quite a few items from Frontgate and I have always loved the quality. I was not disappointment with the corner swags, however, I did not find a hook on the back side to hang them from. It would have made the hanging process a lot less complicated. November 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pegs Christmas Urn Filler I love this filler. It looks great and although this looks like a "simple" arrangement that I should be able to make myself for less cost....I've tried on many occasions and end up spending more than I realize with a result that can't compare. I can't judge the durability at this time but I'm hoping I won't be disappointed. October 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Speaksmem Haven't used yet but - I have used green pipe cleaners to hang my garland. These will look much better and are stronger. Great idea! July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by subteach Great Purchase Excellent product. Ordered additional ones because of their quality. January 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by peachchick love this - so easy to use! this filler is so easy to use and looks great. I love that it is ONE piece and comes already mounted in a pot that easily slips into a decorative urn - takes all of 2 seconds to set up. Love, Love, Love January 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maviesmomma Genius!! Wish I would have gotten these a long time ago. Very utilitarian. January 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SomeSparkle Nice looking and practical These ties worked really well for our outdoor garland on our railing - great idea. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ohiokj Attractive & pretty Looks so much better than the green pipe cleaners I was using. They are strong and held up a lighted garland with an extra strand of decorative lights on our stair railing. Didn't leave any marks. Very happy with the purchase. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by eliferdav612 A Breeze This item made hanging garland on staircase a cinch! It was really effortless. I am so happy to have found it on this website. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by konacam now what expected - but turned out great! I originally bought this to replace a wimpy and broken string of cheap garland that I had around a bay window. The estate garland is very significant in scale and weight, so it overwhelmed the window. It looks much nicer along a bannister or hanging along the top of a big bookcase, which is where they ended up and looked fabulous. The lights are quite bright and really were a nice accent to the room. December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarieFromTampa Beautiful garland The Estate Garland is beautiful and very full. It was a wonderful solution to our outdoor Christmas décor. The only negative was in the challenges in hanging up the garland which required us to use nails. December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMSC Garland ties are so convenient. I wish I had ordered these years ago! The garland ties hold the garland on my handrail perfectly and look very classic. December 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Saint Estate Pre-lit Garland is outstanding! Outstanding holiday decoration. Beautiful addition to our existing Frontgate Garland which we place on our stairs, over our front door and elegantly on our 3 mantles! December 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by billwildhage Frontgate garland ties Received in short order. WELL packaged. Exceeded expectations since they were longer than I had anticipated...which is a good thing! Am considering and artificial Christmas tree from Front Gate for next year. Seems to have the 7 1/2' tree with the highest number of branch tips. Seems to be of good quality...although a little pricey. December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jno213 Pre-lit Estate Garlands Great for indoors! Have already ordered two more to put outside next year. December 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by seareaches Makes Me Look like a Rock Star So life like and holds up well in the New England weather! The garland is heavy so use strong hooks to hang. We are the envy of the neighborhood! December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kobuck luxury all the way Like other have said these are very full -- almost right out of the box. They have a lot of lights on them making them look very full. Pine cones, red berries, different types of tree needles, leaves, make these look excellent. You have to have space for these because they are not small. They are very luxurious. I loved them so much I bought 2 extra ones. You cannot go wrong with these. High, high quality. December 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Forgetful Best Garland Ever! This by far is the best garland I have ever purchased. Over the years have bought the big box store garland and after the second year, it is limp, ugly and stuff started falling off. This garland is very high quality and looks so good on the porch railing. Lots of lights and very full. Wish I had bought this years ago. December 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nichol Best garland! This garland is absolutely beautiful! We have gotten so many compliments on it from our neighbors. I was afraid it might look cheap in person, but it is very elegant looking. December 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Arches Lush and Gorges We upgraded to the Estate this year. The wreath and matching garland (we also purchased the bows as shown on the web site) simply startling beautiful. Very high quality December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nica STUNNING NOW, THIS IS A GARLAND! I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THE FULLNESS AND THE LIGHTING IS AWESOME. I AM TOTALLY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. November 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Isana Very nice! I wish I had these years ago. Great way to put up the garland on the banisters and they look great too. November 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JackieLee Very Easy - looks great! These ties work very well - I was skeptical on how easily these would hold the weight of the large garland we have from Frontgate, but it works perfectly! SO much easier to use than the green wire stuff!!!! The heavy garland didn't move or droop - stayed right where I twisted the ties. Probably will order more so I have extra. November 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Machutt Easy as Pie Garland Ties I received my garland ties and what a time saver they were when I was putting my garland up my stair railings!!! It looks so much better than the cable ties I have been using in the past and I won't be embarrassed as someone walks up the stairs when they see the gorgeous burgundy garland ties!!! Love them!!!! November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alan31 9 ft Garland Great looking garland. Not quite as nice as the last one I purchased from you, but it quit working. We took the pinecones off the old one and placed them onto the new one. It looks like the old one, and looks quite good on our fireplace. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by luv2decorateinteriors BETTER LOOKING THAN ZIP TIES! Adds just the right decor instead of using zip ties to attach garland to inside stair case! No scratching and looks elegant! November 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roma Get them... I just hung my garland with these ties last night. They worked great. Easy to use and they hold tight. I would purchase them again November 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ceick66 Faux Pine Garland Ties These were a wonderful purchase. They seem very durable and should last several seasons of use. I don't even see them because they blend in so well with the garland. Please keep these in stock for future purchases if needed! November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SharonPM Beautiful outside garlands We ordered multiple lengths for our windows and entry. All were excellent quality and all lights worked all season. Very full, authentic, great look. January 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ConsumerinWisconsin Gorgeous garland I ordered the Majestic pre-lit garland AND the Estate garland, after grappling with the living product for too many years. I was reluctant to go with artificial, for it often looks skimpy and lackluster. I planned to compare the two, and then send one or the other back. I was KNOCKED OUT by the quality of both sets of garland, and decided to keep all four strands. It is full...almost to the point of being too full! However, my credo is "Too much of a good thing is WONDERFUL!" so I am thrilled with both. Another win for Frontgate! December 12, 2012

Estate Pre-Lit Wreath
1 answer
I'm having a problem with the lights in pre-lit wreath & garland.
Additional information about DecoratorDilemma could not be loaded.
I have 3 pre-lit wreaths and 5 9' and 1 6' garlands. Before hanging them this year, I tested all and lights were working fine. Two days ago some the lights stopped working on one of the garlands. Today some of the lights stopped working on one of the wreaths. We've tried changing the fuses as well as the lights, but nothing is working. Any ideas?

Klean Kids
And now….about those Klean Kids!
Today was a good day for me but a bad day for Rusty and Poppy – today was grooming day. Because of Poppy's skin condition, we have been washing her back at home with medicated soap and have not taken them to the groomers for the full meal deal. I couldn't stand it any longer.
Of course Rusty gets the shakes as soon as we pull into the driveway. Poppy doesn't like it either but she's not quite so bad. They are always glad when we come pick them up again.
By the way, I got an interesting comment from Allie who picked me up from Me and My Dog. She sent me a link to a photo of her dog that looks so much like Rusty, (another shot) . I can't find a blog for Allie so if she sees this, please let us know your blog address.
I think that both of my Fur Kids were holding a grudge today though. I wanted a pretty picture of them to show how nice and tidy they looked but they were having none of it. I got a couple of profiles of Rusty but notice the position of the tail…not happily curled over his back like it usually is.
Still won't look at me…
But it was worth it. Rusty is SO SO SOFT after his grooming and he gets lots of loves from mom and dad.
Poor Poppy was REALLY put out. Not only did we take her to that mean lady with the soap and the nail clippers, I had the nerve to expect her to smile for the camera???
She looked to her left…
…and she looked to her right…
…and she gave me the squinty eyed glare……
…and she finally made clear what she thought of this whole business.
A couple of treats later she graciously allowed me a sweet picture, even holding up BOTH ears, something that seldom happens.
So two happy parents, two unhappy dogs (but they'll get over it)…and that's the end of this tale.
8 comments:
Rusty and Poppy are looking mighty fine!!!..now will Poppy's hair ever grow back??..Tucker's issue with hot spots are pretty much all gone..hair is back and he is as houndsome as ever!!ReplyDelete
Boy, your furkids were definitely not happy with you today. But they look so pretty. Our girls don't look much different after a bath but they sure do smell better.ReplyDelete
What fluffy puppies they are! Bet they smell good too.ReplyDelete
By a strange coincidence, Molly and Rylie got baths today too. Like your pups, ours are all clean and fluffy now - at least for a day or two!ReplyDelete
I am always impressed at what a great job dog groomers do. Checkers used to come home looking & smelling so great. Rusty & Poppy do look a little miffed alright. I'm wondering if the Groomer put the bandanas on the guys. Checkers always came home from the Groomers with a new bandana on.ReplyDelete
Clean dogs are a treat! They'll get over being mad at you. You told your story very well, punctuated by the pictures. Well done!ReplyDelete
Clean puppies are a great thing... my little girl needs some of that attention too!ReplyDelete
You dogs are so funny - they REALLY don't like being groomed. But they are so pretty now - and they must feel better after a nice bath. I'm glad I don't have to have Katie groomed. She never looks different, even after I bathe her, which isn't often.ReplyDelete

Treasuries Snap Gain on Speculation Manufacturing Quickened
Treasury 30-year bonds snapped yesterday's steepest rally since March 2009 before data that economists said will show manufacturing quickened in October.
Bill Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond fund at Pacific Investment Management Co., said the Federal Reserve's willingness to increase debt purchases as it tries to spur the economy would boost the inflation rate and Treasury yields. Fed policy makers are scheduled to begin a two-day meeting today.
"Yields will go up," said Kei Katayama, leader of the foreign fixed-income group at Daiwa SB Investments Ltd. in Tokyo, which has the equivalent of $63.2 billion in assets including Japan's second-biggest bond fund. "The U.S. economy is not strong, but it's not so bad."
The 30-year rate was little changed at 3.13 percent as of 7:10 a.m. in London, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.75 percent security due in August 2041 traded at 111 30/32. The yield dropped yesterday by 25 basis points, or a quarter of a percentage point.
Benchmark U.S. 10-year rates held at 2.11 percent.
Treasuries recouped losses sustained in early Asian trading as Japan's intervention in currency markets yesterday raised speculation the nation would use newly purchased dollars to to buy American securities.
U.S. government bonds surged yesterday on concern Europe will be unable to curb a sovereign-debt crisis that has left Greece struggling to make payments, increasing demand for the relative security of American bonds.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou pledged to hold a referendum on the European Union's latest accord on his nation's financing. The decision risks pushing the country into default if rejected by voters.
Europe Effect
"While this European situation is going on, it's hard for Treasuries to sell off," said Grant Hassell, head of fixed income at AMP Capital Investors in Wellington, New Zealand.
Ten-year yields may fall toward 2 percent, he said. Investors seeking to shield their money from turmoil in Europe snapped up Treasuries in September, pushing the rate to a record low of 1.67 percent.
The Institute for Supply Management's U.S. factory index rose to 52 from 51.6 in September, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey before the report today. A level of 50 is the dividing line between growth and contraction. Construction spending rose in September, another report may show, according to a separate poll.
A Chinese manufacturing index dropped to the lowest level in October since February 2009, the government reported today.
Disproportionate Inflation
"Sovereign monetary and fiscal policies, while generating undersized real growth, have managed to produce disproportionally large inflation," Pimco's Gross wrote yesterday in a monthly report on the Newport Beach, California-based company's website. "Developed economies -- the U.S. included -- have experienced 3 percent plus inflation."
The difference between yields on 10-year notes and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a gauge of trader expectations for consumer prices over the life of the debt, widened by 32 basis points last month, the most since October 2010. The spread was 2.04 percentage points today, in line with the five-year average.
Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen and other policy makers have said the central bank should be prepared to do more to spur growth. Governor Daniel Tarullo and New York Fed President William C. Dudley said last month that additional stimulus may be needed.
Fed Operations
The central bank announced in September it would replace $400 billion of short-term debt with longer-term Treasuries to contain borrowing costs. It plans to sell as much as $8.75 billion of securities due from 2012 to 2013 today under the program, according its website.
Australia's Reserve Bank cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 4.5 percent today, the first reduction since April 2009.
U.S. consumer prices rose 3.9 percent in September from a year earlier, meaning 10-year Treasuries yield negative 1.79 percent after accounting for costs in the economy. The figure was minus 2.11 percent in October, a level not seen since 1980.
TIPS returned 1.9 percent last month, versus a 0.8 percent loss for conventional U.S. government debt, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
Thirty-year bonds, those most sensitive to costs in the economy, fell 4.8 percent. German bunds dropped 0.8 percent and Japanese bonds slid 0.2 percent, the Bank of America figures show.

his team still got the job done in a bowl game....no matter the opponent.
Niko Porikos grew up in an NTDP billet home. Cool story.
his team still got the job done in a bowl game....no matter the opponent.
so if Arizona had played Pioneer in a bowl game would we say "At least his team got the job done, we were just screwing around with some West Carolina team! WE SUCK"
He got lucky when Nevada fulbbed the onside kick and could take on a gassed defense that wasn't very good. Arizona was getting its ass kicked for three and a half quarters by a half-decent Mountain West team. Taking anything from that bowl game as a comparitve value is beyond meaningless.
These are the same people who think beating USC last year = USC in a Rose Bowl with National Championship caliber teams.
...enjoy the sunshine and pretty girls in Zona and focus on bringing back that Desert Swarm Defense...you don't need to worry about Michigan we will be just fine.
Got in before the delete sweet.
This guy is full of them. Sounds more like a "Rich Rod" problem then a Michigan problem.
It's probably easy to do when you're at a big-time program like Michigan. People relying on the success of the past to simply propel them through the future. Just my personal bit.
I wish I wasn't moderator.
Other than the cool point total, i'm guessing it's a lot like chasing toddlers around all day. I don't envy you.
I was going to write the ironic and expected "This will end well" post but was too late in opening the thread. nm.
a RichRod thread. Time to break out the popcorn, this is going to get fun.
Probably every major college football program has guys that "feel entitled". Maybe they were big stars in high school and now have to work their butts off. Or maybe their father or uncle played for the school and were big stars and the son is living off the legacy. Like Brown Bear said, it's up to the coach to get them motivated.
Well I feel entitled and I'm not good at football.
I'm American, fergodsakes.
~Homer Jay Simpson.
Sounds like RR might have had some entitlement issues of his own... Like he didn't have the players that he thought he was entitled to.
It appears RichRod feels entitled to his opinion.
I'm at a loss to explain why what he said is causing any consternation on the board. I think it's a pretty well documented fact that the environment around the team circa 2007 HAD become one of etitlement and malaise (see horror - Sept, 2007) and that predated RR's arrival.
If you believe John Bacon it was that very sense of entitlement and Rich's attempt to end it (badly I might add) that led directly to the divisions withing the football community. He was right on identifying the problem IMO but completely wrong in how he tried to correct it.
What Rich should have said was "there was a sense of entitlement in the football program that i inherted in 2008. Unfortunately I did a poor job of trying to change it."
Than the fact he can't help himself from saying it. And what purpose it serves at this point. Maybe they needed a non-comment clause that was apparently required when Shafer left Rich's staff, to prevent this stuff.
Contrast that with Brandon, who's a marketing guy, who could have had all sorts of "rumors" leaked to the press to make Rich look bad and justify the firing, as all sorts of programs professional and college do (take a look at the character assassination the Pistons do when replacing coaches about what a jerk the guy was behind the scenes, or how he had lost the team). But they have moved on and pretty much don't say anything about him that might have appeared negative to potential hiring suitors.
Stop taking bait from media trolls like Matt Hayes is always a good start.
This thread is entitled "Rich Rodriguez "Some Michigan Players Felt Entitled"."
Listen Richard, If you want to answer questions fine but dont make it sound like it was all the kids fault..some of them didnt buy in and you also made mistakes..it just didnt work..we are both seeing other people now so lets just move on.
"Michigan won three games in Rodriguez's first season after winning 11 the previous season. "
Interesting, I didn't realize we won 11 games in 2007...Wikipedia and my memory tell me it was 9 wins. Maybe we did beat App State and Oregon to start the year...
Good point, and I could see that. Completley crap grammar if that is the case, although should I be surprised by that?
I couldn't care less about Rich Rod's opinion. UM has a different coach and he is coaching somewhere else. I have moved on.
Hey anyone notice the basketball team is the #1 ranked team in the nation?
We're entitled to that #1 ranking. We used to have the Fab Five.
If that season is considered some kind of success, as anything but a first season, then RichRod's coaching ability may not have declined but expectations of him certainly have.
If I never hear the words "Rich Rodriguez" ever again I will die a happy man.
At best he is good offensive mind. He is a horrible leader, leadership 101 don't blame the people who work for you, they work for you and if they fail it is the leaders fault. If you blame them, make them look like crap to people outside the family they will not perform. It is always someone else that is the issue with RR. Cupboard is bare. Players not doing what they are taught. Vince Lombardi couldn't coach this defense, a defense that he could have recruited better talent for and, by the way, maybe Lombardi couldn't but Greg Mattison sure did. Now it is that Michigan players acted entitled. All excuses, who is going to fix these issues if it isn't the Head Football Coach? His job was to take care of everyone of these things.
...looking for a place kicker on the way to the game.
That's as clean a study of this as we'll ever see. That comment, vs. Hoke's "Brunettes".
The results speak for themselves.
You hired GERG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of us gave Rich the benefit of the doubt when he was here, and even secretly may want him to do well at Zona, but this crap may have caused me to be a little bristly about him. He needs to shut his trap, worry about Zona football and get a DC who can cooridnate a championship level defense. If he is asked about Michigan, he should simply wish us well and re-direct back to Zona. I am tried of him yapping about entitlement, lack of commitment, cultural fit. Hey Rich, no one cares!!
If nobody cares, then why does he continue to get asked about his time at Michigan? Also, if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
If nobody cares, why is this thread already at 130 comments and climbing rapidly?
Because people can't just refrain from commenting. Its like a bad horror film where the characters hear a scary sound and decide, "hey, lets go check it out." We all know how its going to end up.
That said, this has been a pretty tame thread. Most people are finally moving on, it appears. Huzzah!
Most of us gave Rich the benefit of the doubt when he was here, and even secretly may want him to do well at Zona,
I have to ask why anyone here would want to wish Coach Rodriguez anything other than success at Arizona, secret or otherwise? Except in the event that he is facing off against us of course.
So many are up in arms because Rodriguez is pointing out that he started out at Michigan in an uphill battle because many of his seniors, the ones that should've been circling the wagons to help see Michigan through this transition, put their personal needs ahead of the teams. Some are quick to lay this attitude at Rodriguez's feet as a lack of leadership on his part, but I think that's unfair.
Rodriguez's reception from his inherited team stands in stark contrast to the reception that Brady Hoke got when he took over, and I don't attribute that difference as any higher level of quality of leadership on Hoke's part. I attribute that difference to the quality of the character of the leaders on that team.
The 2011 team was successful primarily because leaders like David Molk, Mike Martin, and Troy Woolfolk refused to let the team tear apart. The 2008 team failed because those seniors didn't demand that kind of commitment from the team and quit on the program to some degree. Those guys were apathetic toward a program that had grown contented and stale over the years.
All Rodriguez did in this interview was point that out, which I don't see why that's got so many folks outraged.
I really hope the majority of posters on this site don't represent what the majority of Michigan fans are. Most of you seem extremely entitled. You whine and cry about everything. I'm so glad I live 10 hours from AA.
Boohoo RR talked about my school. Boohoo Jalen Rose wants to watch my team play. Get over yourselves. Get off your high horse, you aren't better than everyone else.
I'm glad you live 10 hours from A2 as well. It isn't a high horse or entitlement. If you had really been following this, you would know it is arrogance. Don't forget to mention Walmart Wolverines; it will always add to your credibility.
You're a moron. If you could move more than 10 hours away, that'd be great.
Most of the people who post on this site make me ashamed to be a Michigan fan. Most of you are just homers. You go out of your way to post things about people/schools you don't like. Then you make posts laughing about how others can't stop talking about you. Few days go by that someone doesn't post something about OSU ND or MSU. Hypocrites.
In all seriousness, what you point out is simply inherently a part of being a fan of a team. Other teams are always worse than your favorite and your favorite can seemingly do no wrong (or at least not a lot of wrong). Its just how the mind works, how people justify being a more-than-average fan of a team. People on this site are obviously more than your average Michigan fan insofar as we exceed the average interest in the day-to-day goings-on. If there are a few of us that sometimes say silly things or contradict ourselves, I'm not sure what to tell you. There are many, many things more serious than this when it comes to being a fan (see, e.g., justifying honoring Tressel at the 'Shoe, remaining a Joe Paterno fan, etc., etc.). If this is the worst then its definitely great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
I couldn't disagree more. Being a fan of a team doesn't mean you have to HATE your rivals. It especially doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to attempt to belittle them to show your superiority. If you know you are better than OSU, MSU, ND, why do you need to post about it?
Yesterday in the Treadwell thread, people talked about how rich people don't need to brag that they are rich. So if we are so great, why do we have to constantly go out of our way to cut down other programs?
What you are describing is a fanatic, not a fan.
Don't worry about it man, this site has a bunch of whiners. I just got neg bombed for a political coment a couple weeks ago and took my points to 0. Oh well, people find a way to complain about rich rod. I personally don't care. What he said about players feeling entitled is pretty much true, should he have said anything now, probably not, but who cares.
No politics. Is that rule so difficult to understand? Politics is the enriched uranium of a blog of highly intelligent posters such as ourselves (yes, I said it). Do you enjoy e-fighting? If so, take it somewhere else.
They didn't win 11 games the year before he started coaching at U of M as the article states. I believe they won 8 games in 2007, Carr's last year.
Are somewhat correct. After a disaster of a regular season that started with the app state and Oregon debacles, and finished with back to back losses to wiscy and Ohio, we beat Florida in a bowl game to finish 9-4 and no. 14 in the final polls
He has no class or character. He can't stop complaining, making excuses, and pointing his finger at everyone else.
So... I assume this means you're not a RichRodFan?
One thing RichRod has always been good at is saying things that are true but that - for his own sake - ought to stay unsaid.

Top Ten Tips
Clothes Washer/Dryer
Water Heater
Use the air dry or overnight dry setting if your machine has one. These features automatically turn off the dishwasher after the final rinse and save about 10 percent of the total dishwashing energy costs.
The rinse and hold feature on your dishwasher requires 3 to 7 gallons of hot water each time – use it only when necessary.
Don't install your dishwasher near your refrigerator/freezer. The heat and moisture from the dishwasher will make the refrigerator/freezer work harder to stay cool. If you must install your dishwasher close to the refrigerator/freezer, install a layer of fiberglass insulation between the two appliances.
In the summer, use the dishwasher in the cooler parts of the day, such as the early morning and late evening hours.
Use only detergents made for automatic dishwashers, not regular liquid soap. The wrong soap will cause excessive sudsing and can leak onto your floor. Avoid using solid jet dry and ultra dry baskets that hang onto the racks. These cause excessive sudsing and can make your glasses look foggy. For best cleaning results, load large items on bottom facing the spray arm.
Clean your tub out with three cups of vinegar or six tablespoons of Tang breakfast drink. This will greatly improve cleaning.

Clash of Clans Town Hall Level 8
As you know by now each TH level has a different base that should accompany it. In this post, I will show you some of the worst TH lvl 8 setups and some of the best (in my opinion). Let me know what you think in the comments section! (click here if you are looking for farming bases!)
Here are a few of the absolute worst town hall level 8 bases I have ever seen… it really makes me wonder what they were thinking.
There are so many things wrong with this base, I don't even know where to begin. Okay, here goes… first of all, if someone is farming, then they may have all of their resources in a 4 layer deep wall, but this person's Town Hall is on the inside of the walls. Since his TH is on the inside, that means he is not farming. He also has his gold and dark elixir storage on the outside of his walls, so he is not trying to protect resources. And, since he does have his TH on the inside of his walls, that leads you to believe that he is trying to protect his trophy count. This would be extremely easy to get one star on. All you would need to do is implement GlitterPony's Attack Strategy, especially since none of the defenses are behind walls. If you own this base, please comment and let me know what the heck you were thinking. Thanks
This base is protecting the army camps much too much. He is hardly protecting his elixir or gold. It makes me wonder how he got level 5 & 6 walls, because I guarantee that is the first thing that gets stolen. I smell gems! He may think that your troops all die if you camp is destroyed. Rest assured, that is not the case anymore. I have tested this theory! Your troops are safe to fight another day!
Here are some examples of good bases for Town Hall Level 8
This is a pretty good TH lvl 8 setup. The only thing that really concerns me with this base is the placement of the clan castle, but since this player isn't in a clan anyway, it really doesn't matter where they place it. For a player that is in an active clan, be sure to centralize your castle and protect it somehow. If a clan castle is destroyed during a raid, all of your troops will be trapped in side and will not be able to help you. This base does a good job of protecting it's borders, but not much of the inside. Let's hope that the enemy is dead before it even would reach the center! This one just barely fits into the "good" category.
This base is good. It defends the borders and has a pretty decent splash area. The only thing I would suggest is bringing in the research closer to the rest of the base. Spreading out your buildings like that is only good when you are of a lower level and want to make sure someone doesn't get 3 stars or you are farming and trying to protect loot. Spreading them out when you get higher up is just basically giving away buildings, so your enemy can get to 1 star that much easier.
I like this setup. It uses traps efficiently and he is building up his strongest walls on the weakest part of the base. It looks pretty solid. Once the walls are done, I think it would work well. The teslas and wizard towers are placed well and the town hall/resources are in the most secure spot in the setup. All in all, I like it. Try this one out of you are having problems with winning while you are not on.
I suggest staying below 1800 trophies with this base. Once you get past 1800, it is pretty hard to defend. I am partial to traps and really like the way the tesla is hiding where people would likely enter. Then the two teslas by the TH would protect that well. Everything is grouped together pretty well, so nothing would be given away for free, making it harder to get any stars. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Here are some bases that have upgraded VERY well! Nice job all!

Many people save their change at the end of the day. When they get home, they deposit their coins into a jar or a piggy bank or a similar container. Some people roll their change and deposit it into savings every month. Kris and I let our change jars fill completely before we take them in.
But if you really want to see your savings grow, don't just save your coins — save your one-dollar bills, too. If you come home with two or three dollar bills at the end of most days, it's easy to accumulate $10/week (about $500/year). Don't put your dollar bills into a jar, though; use an envelope.
This is an excellent way to fund a secondary savings account. I use my secondary savings for indulgences like my Nintendo Wii or vacations. This is where I deposit spare change, birthday checks, and garage sale money. Any "found money" goes here. I don't save a fortune this way, but I do save enough to make a couple of fun purchases every year.

Event Summary
its recent analyst gathering in New York, IBM Corporation (NYSE:
IBM), used the occasion to pound its small and medium businesses (SMB) strategy.
"This time we are poised to win the leadership battle" expressed one of their
executives. The battle IBM refers to goes back to the early times when Microsoft
dethroned IBM in its supremacy over operating systems. IBM has now been involved
for more than a decade in enterprise solutions. IBM has been servicing rather
large businesses worldwide through its software, hardware, middleware, portal,
and consulting services.
By the end of 2001 when the wind had already shifted from larger projects to the small and medium implementations, IBM secured a full contingent of products and a market strategy to establish its position as a market leader. Marc Lautenback, General Manager Global SMB describes the midsize business demand as approaching $173B (US) with a 9 percent compound annual growth rate. IBM is very serious about the market potential of the SMB market and has taken all measures to compete and gain market share. IBM wants to tackle the SMB market with a combination of products and services offered specially to fit SMB characteristics. IBM's strategic combination includes the Express product portfolio, the On Demand approach, the focus on open standards and support for Linux, and a myriad of ISVs and partners.
Product Definition and Market Impact
defines the small to midsize business (SMB) market as companies with less than
1,000 employees; the mid-market as companies with between 100 and 1,000 employees.
IBM wraps up its three-layer SMB strategy with:
Through strategic alliances with business application ISVs, IBM tends to penetrate the existing mid-market customer base and cover a range of choice with vertical products. IBM's prime intention is to create solid ground for its products and services. To reach its goal IBM has to encourage many software vendors to adopt an open standards platform.
of the enterprise application providers have already formed alliances with IBM.
Amongst them, E.piphany early this year announced it was bundling
the IBM WebSphere application server with the E.piphany E.6
platform. Last year Onyx and IBM made their first e-business
On Demand applications for SMBs and Clear Technology offered
its C2 CRM suite with IBM's hardware, middleware, and database technologies.
Even SAP and IBM formed an alliance to offer enterprise developers
a stream of Web services-based APIs. Accordingly, IBM is reinforcing its integration
strategy and has already rolled out about 300 adapters for its WebSphere platform,
all developed by the company or partners.
most recent partnership collaboration is on the Siebel front
where both companies are preparing to launch a hosting service for customer
relationship management software. In return IBM will help its software partners
develop more business by using its internal sales and a network of business
partners. IBM's strategy is to help existing vendors expand while growing its
own infrastructure presence. An ISV ecosystem is critical to IBM's On Demand
strategy in the mid-market said Buell Duncan, General Manager, Developer Relations.
IBM is leveraging the ISV and developer ecosystem to establish an open standards
foundation (J2EE, Linux, etc.) both for on-demand applications and to slow Microsoft
from expanding its .Net market.
the overshadowed early days of utility computing by differences in terminology
and big promises, IBM strongly believes in the bright future of utility computing
and is heavily investing in its On Demand program. The investment
is part of a significant push by IBM to penetrate the SMB enterprise application
market. According to Elaine Lennox, Director of Marketing for global small and
medium business, IBM designed On Demand to leverage its customers' potential
to better serve their markets, partners, and suppliers, and benefit from a flexible
usage of their application and IT infrastructure. The results will be a lower
cost of ownership and a better match to SMB requirements says Lennox.
confidence in its On Demand or "utility" computing services is now being backed
by new signs of growing demand that the outsourcing model could well be working.
Even the inflexible Siebel may now want a piece of this action. IBM's pricing
scheme, called the Open Infrastructure Offering should allow
customers to pay for their entire assets of computing hardware, software, and
services with a single fixed monthly payment. IBM's On Demand offering serves
both on and off customer premises computing.
IBM Express series caters to the small and midsize businesses'
technology needs. An Express software product has a reasonable footprint, and
is easy to install, manage, integrate, learn, and use. The Express portfolio
includes WebSphere, Tivoli, Lotus,
and DB2. Since cash flow is the most unpredictable attribute
of a midsized business, IBM has introduced flexible financing plans to boost
its Express sales. Business Partners, whether they are consulting
firms like Alpine Consulting, Inc. or software vendors like
J.D. Edwards can easily sell and recommend IBM Express offerings
to their customers and receive compensation. With DB2 Express for example, priced
at $499 for a base server package, (with an additional licensing cost of $99
per user), IBM hopes to attract many SMB IT buyers.
IBM Strategy and User Recommendations
we simply look at IBM's product line versus Microsoft's applications, in other
words the Express portfolio versus Great Plains
and MS CRM, there isn't a direct comparison between the two
product portfolios and therefore they do not directly compete with each other.
The battle between IBM and Microsoft is more on the infrastructure front. Mid-market
businesses traditionally support the Microsoft products while IBM is traditionally
known as an enterprise product and service provider.
The battle is really going to be waged at the ISVs' level. With its On Demand strategy, IBM has made substantial progress toward its goal. It is more and more possible for businesses to benefit from modular building blocks and step-by-step integration thanks to IBM's hardware and software harmonization. IBM's integration layer is designed to work with its application development and deployment platform, Websphere. The SMB journey is set to be extremely crowded and filled with revelations. IBM definitely needs to share its vision with the outside word and, like Microsoft, become an SMB icon.

A Message from the Executive Director
Life at Sojourner House reminds me of the powerful bond between mothers and children. No matter how troubled their lives, children long to have a relationship with their mothers. Every day I meet courageous women whose love for their children is one of; if not the only thing in their lives powerful enough to make them want to overcome their addictions. I see children who love their mothers unconditionally, and support them no matter how many times they have been disappointed. Many women recognize how much their chemical dependency has hurt their kids, and want to get clean so they can be the mother their children deserve. Sojourner House gives them the opportunity to recover, heal, and rebuild their families.

Advanced Search
Next up in Jeff's six-part WMI series, he demonstrates how to call up WMI methods.
In PowerShell 3.0, the new CIM cmdlets use the WSMAN protocol to retrieve WMI information. A byproduct is that the objects you retrieve across the wire do not have any WMI methods. Using WMI, we would have done something like this:
PS C:\> calc
PS C:\> $p = get-wmiobject win32_process -filter "name='calc.exe'" –comp client8
PS C:\> $p.Terminate()
But that won't work with the CIM cmdlets.
PS C:\> $p = get-ciminstance win32_process -filter "name='calc.exe'" –comp client8
PS C:\> $p.terminate()
You will get an exception complaining that [Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance] doesn't contain a method named 'terminate'. What we need to do is use the Invoke-CimMethod cmdlet. This works in much the same way as Invoke-WmiMethod with one major exception which I'll cover in a moment.
Personally, I find the best approach is to pipe the CIM object to the cmdlet.
PS C:\> $p | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName terminate
You will still get a result object with a ReturnValue property. The cmdlet also supports –WhatIf and –Confirm for added safety.
PS C:\> invoke-cimmethod -CimSession $t -Query "Select * from win32_process where name='calc.exe'" -MethodName terminate -whatif
What if: Performing operation "Invoke-CimMethod: terminate" on Target "Win32_Pro
cess: calc.exe (Handle = "2308")".
In this example I used a previously created CIM Session and a syntax variation to find all instances of calculator.
This example is relatively simple because the method doesn't require any parameters. But WMI methods that do require parameters are notoriously difficult to use. You need to get the parameters in the right order and account for values you want to ignore. Invoke-CimMethod makes this much easier because all we need to do is pass a hash table of the parameter values we want to change.
Here's an example. First, I'll get a service.
PS C:\> $svc = get-ciminstance win32_service -filter "name='bits'"
I want to change the service account and password. This requires using the Change() method which has a number of parameters you have to get in the right order if using WMI techniques. But with CIM, it is much, much easier.
PS C:\> $svc | Invoke-CimMethod -Name change -Arguments @{Startname=".\administrator";StartPassword="P@ssw0rd"}
All I need to do is specify the parameters I need to change. So much easier than using WMI. Now, if you try this example on a test system as I did, you might get an error. Which is fine because it proves that the change was made. All I really wanted to demonstrate was the technique. Hopefully your need to call WMI methods is more of an exception than the rule.
I hope this has piqued your interest in the world of the CIM cmdlets. Fire up your test network and give them a try. There's more information in the book PowerShell in Depth and if you really get stuck, please pop in to the forums at PowerShell.org.
