Product Description
The author will write in first person, not unlike a presciptive memoir, where he tells his own story of his journey in how he became a world class communicator. Yet, he'll stay focused on the subject and deliver the how-to, but in a personal, entertaining, vulnerable story format. He will lift the veil of his own struggles and the adventures he has been on in learning the craft so the reader can relate.
The author will share several foundational principles regarding how to communicate, from preparing for a speech, organizing thoughts, filtering out the superfluous and focusing on the important, overcoming fears, how to grab the listener's attention, deliver in a convincing manner...and frankly, how and when to stop.

Greetings from across the Big PondAXOTA. Unique capture - is it flotsam or jetsam ? I was never much of a buccaneer. Are you refering to Jerry Lordan and The Shadows in your above conversations ? The original Apache is my favorite instrumental. Then again, I also like " Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road " by Loudan Wainwright III. Once again, nice photo.
AXOTA And I thought I was the only one that went through the sexual revolution without ever firing a shot. Cheers.

Thank you very much, Jim ! Of course, I will post a picture of the completed work in my gallery. I am a newbie on Panoramio. You can already see how Saint Ives inspired me ... just added a watercolour on my page. Kind regards, Catherine
Catherine DR~~~First of all Catherine, my humble apologies for the extraordinarily late response..I would very much like to see how your gallery is growing ;>)
Clive on Beara~~~But isn't that the attraction of Panoramio Clive, I too find new images hidden in the depths of many galleries I visit frequently,..I have long since been of the opinion , as I am sure you also do, that there is far more to a gallery than the front page..

County residents have heard about a possible new ordinance, one that would govern the use of low-speed vehicles on rural roads in the county. Now, they have an opportunity to take a look at what has been proposed.
The Fayette County Board last Thursday rejected such an ordinance, though that document – or a revised version of it – may come up again in the future.
If a low-speed vehicle ordinance does resurface, at least it will be after county residents have an opportunity to take a look at what has been proposed and offer their opinions.

The flooding in late December has caused producers in Fayette County to suffer damage to their farmland. Now, producers may be eligible for cost-share assistance under the ECP program to rehabilitate farmland damaged by the flooding.
This disaster program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, which provides assistance to producers if the damage is so severe that it is too costly to restore themselves.
Assistance may include removing debris, grading, shaping, or releveling farmland or restoring conservation structures.

Faye Watson has long been on a self-appointed mission – to help others learn about God by offering encouragement, understanding and information, through her church and her life.
As the Fayette County Board approved yet another loan from its capital improvement fund last Thursday, one board member said that the county is only continuing to make such transfers without a plan.
The board barely approved a $145,742 transfer from that fund so the county could make a workers' compensation and liability insurance payment, with the vote being 7-6.
In what was basically an emergency decision, the Vandalia City Council on Monday approved a Tax Increment Financing agreement that will not only keep a business in Vandalia, but also provide that chain store with more space.
The council approved a TIF grant of up to $65,750 to Michael and JoEllen Wehrle, with that amount being about half of the estimated cost to renovate the Wehrle property in Veterans Plaza at 1611 Veterans Ave.
The Wehrles are renovating the area south of Los Amigos Restaurant to accommodate the move of the local Sears from Vandalia Commons.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Local Area:
I have not had much interaction with other students at other schools but there is always something to do around the campus.
There is so much diversity among the student body.
There is a selection process but it is not very difficult to get into.
I love every aspect of Engineering. It is hard to pick a specific major.
Greek Life:
I am not a part of the Greek Life but I heard it is great.
COTA is good I hear
I enjoy it, but I'm a continuing education student that is in her mid-20's taking undergraduate courses... a little awkward but it is what it is.
I wish I would've chosen to go to medical school earlier when I was getting my BS at another school. I don't fear of getting a job when I graduate, doctors are in high demand.
I'm a distance learning, continuing education student. I'm finishing my pre-recs for medical school. I don't have people "in my program" I'm mostly with freshmen.
Party Scene:
I'm a distance student so I don't partake in social life myself, but other who do have said its pretty good
Drug Safety:
Not that noticeable and not too many people get in trouble with drugs
Local Area:
OSU sports are huge, there's the professional soccer and hockey teams. Lots of parks, trails, and water sport activities. Good shopping areas.
Still waiting to hear about my options, even though I completed the FAFSA and paperwork months ago....
Off-Campus Dining:
Good mixture of local and chain places. Not far to downtown where there are more options
Off-Campus Housing:
Depends on areas. There are "nice" areas that are near the hospital and residential neighborhoods, but others that are closer to downtown are really shady and still expensive.
Its like most other universities. They do "look the other way" at more privileged students and athletes.
Health & Safety:
I don't worry often about my safety on campus as I am only down there for classes usually during the daylight hours. I would be more hesitant if I was there at night and walking by myself
Printing is already included (to a certain amount of pages) in my tuition so since I am paying for it I like to use it in the computer labs.
I do not live on campus so do not encounter all of these. For the most part I have found that administration will treat you as adults when you act like one. If you choose to not show up to class or come in late that is your own choice and your grade will probably reflect that
Off-Campus Dining:
It is mostly fast food restaurant chains. To get an actual nice, sit down restaurant you have to travel further off campus
There are lots of options to choose from. Though the competitiveness backfires if your GPA does not stack up and you are unable to then study what you want to study.
I am currently trying to get into Finance through Fisher and have already been turned down twice based solely on my GPA not be competitive enough. It has not mattered how I do in finance courses or that I use finance applications in my job which is incredibly stressful and discouraging.
Off-Campus Housing:
I am currently searching for off campus housing and feel that it is overpriced for old, run down places.
Campus Housing:
I do not live in on campus housing
I use the CABS buses daily and think it is a great amenity. They could definitely stand to add a few more buses though as I am sure that capacity limits are easily surpassed

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There is a reason the Buckeye Nation is considered to be so devoted; an overwhelming love for OSU is evident in student responses, and in the loyalty of alumni to their alma mater. Each person has his or her own reasons for loving the University, and there are quite a few of them. Some students feel that the academics are top-notch and have found exactly the programs they wanted; others lean toward the athletic success of the Buckeye teams, while some just feel that the friendships and bonds they have made are enough to make their tenure at OSU worthwhile. At any rate, everyone can agree that being a Buckeye creates a special bond between you and nearly 50,000 other students, which you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
Once you get past the sheer size of the University, it will really become a second home. After only a quarter of classes, you won't be able to cross the Oval without seeing someone you know. Ohio State is truly the smallest large university you will find. The people are known for their friendly attitudes, and alumni are scattered across the nation. If you choose to go to OSU, you're choosing a school with a name that's well known, both in the workplace and in the college community. Few students ever regret their time at Ohio State, and most consider their college experience to be among the best offered in the Big Ten and the country.

Causes of breast lumps
Most breast lumps are benign (non-cancerous), as in fibroadenoma, a condition that mostly affects women under age 30. Fibrocystic breast changes occur in more than 60% of all women. Fibrocystic breast cysts change in size with the menstrual cycle, whereas a lump from fibroadenoma does not. While most breast lumps are benign, it is important to identify those that are not. See your health care provider if a lump is new, persistent, growing, hard, immobile, or causing skin deformities.

The creature of the darkness
Leads an endless life of despair.
The horrors of an eternity
Captured in that haunted stare.
Only on All Hallow's Eve
May he venture undetected.
His luminous skin and unusual ways
Pass by us unsuspected.
He wishes to befriend you.
He will charm you with his grace.
He'll marvel at the glorious beauty
Of your mortal face.
Alas, this friendship cannot last.
His control cannot endure.
You accept your death with open arms,
Entranced by his allure.
That dreadful night time hunger.
That wretched, lustful thirst.
The insatiable desires
Of the one forever cursed.
Ashamed of his regrettable acts,
Brushing off a blood-stained tear,
He returns unto his resting place
To sleep until next year.
The creature of the darkness
Leads an endless life of despair
Clinging to a mortal self,
Which simply is not there.
Night Time Hunger by HayleyishayleyWatch

I liked the repetition...that's what kinda completes it, gives that story-feel. That was the special touch. I like!
This is an excellent vampire poem. I really like the rhythm and choice of words.
Really great sense of rhythm and rhyme and a really nice story! I love your poem!
that was fun to read
it's really nice :3, btw, there's a spelling mistake at the top, the leads "and" endless life part. just fyi

Miranda Kerr
Favourite Celeb Outfit Of 2012 – Winners
You have been voting for 1 week for your favourite outfits of 2012 and we finally have our winners! I have included the top voted female and male outfit, as well as a second place runner up! So here we go!
Taking the number one spot for best dressed female of 2012 is…
Miranda Kerr! She won first place and was voted the best dressed female on DenimBlog by you, our readers! She wore an Isabel Marant denim jacket (see the original post here) which was her winning outfit and she looked amazing in it! I'm not suprised she won actually, her looks this year have been incredible!
And now for the guys, our number 1 winner is…
None other than Zac Efron! He usually takes the crown for this role each year and he's taken it again this year. You have voted him as the best dressed male celebrity of 2012 on DenimBlog for wearing this outfit! He wore a pair of Diesel jeans with a Levi's denim jacket for his winning look (see the original post here) and it was my personal favourite of his as well!
And our runner up, taking second place is…
Olivia Palermo! This was actually my personal favourite outfit of hers as I loved the colour combination. She was only 1 vote behind the winners so I'm glad we get to include her in this post! Olivia wore a pair of Sass & Bide jeans for her outfit (see original post here) and I also made a get the look post on this as well, which you can see here.
Comment and let us know what you think of the winning outfits!
Miranda Kerr in Helmut Lang Leather Leggings
Miranda Kerr was spotted arriving at LAX Airport to catch a flight out of Los Angeles, California. The model wore a pair of Helmut Lang Leather Leggings with some Marant sneakers and an A.L.C. leopard print cardigan. She finished off the look by accessorizing it with a Givenchy bag and Prada sunglasses.
The pairing of skinny leather pants, or just skinny pants for that matter, with the Marant sneakers seems to be the current staple for many women. We have seen many different takes on the look, but Miranda somehow makes it look just a bit more amazing. She just never gets it wrong in my opinion. You can click here to purchase these leggings from the Helmut Lang website for $920.
Lily Aldridge in Rag & Bone Jodhpur Jeans in Midnight
Lily Aldridge takes her newborn daughter, Dixie, for a stroll in New York City. She wore a pair of Rag & Bone's Jodhpur jeans in Midnight with a sweater and studded Chloe booties.
I love that the jodhpur part of these jeans is leather, instead of fabric like most jodhpur styles. Although this is the first time we've seen her on the blog in Rag & Bone, it doesn't surprise me to see Lily out in the brand since she was part of their DIY advertising project along with Miranda Kerr and Karolina Kurkova. You can buy these jeans from Rag & Bone for $298.00.

Miranda Kerr in Nobody Denim Cult Skinny Jeans in Addict
When I saw these photos, my first thought was 'wow, how amazing does Miranda Kerr look?' and I don't even mean the whole outfit, just the way her Nobody Denim Cult Skinny jeans in Addict fit her is perfect!
Miranda was dropping off her friend in Beverly Hills, California after attending a photo shoot earlier in the day in these photos. I honestly think she can do no wrong when it comes to fashion. She could go out wearing a trash bag and make it look incredible. Her legs are the perfect shape and length for jeans as well. I have yet to see a badly fitting pair on her! Do you love Miranda's denim style too?

This adorable, hand sculpted, fully poseable, "Fantasy Baby Fum" is a one of a kind original piece of artwork being offered up for bid! I hand sculpted the face onto a posable frame that I made and wrapped with stuffing so its extremely soft! I then paint the clay parts with acrylics and small brushes. Synthetic fur, the middle horn is a real naturally dropped deer horn, and the other two I hand sculpted and painted!
I do not use molds, casts or patterns, each is fully hand made.
Approximately one foot long and 13 inches tall. Work is signed. Enjoy!

I LOVE IT! So adorable , but I wish I could have one. I have no money and I am attempting to make one of these. It is going to be horrible , but at least I tried. I will let you all know when I have made it.
Oh I love it!! How can there be anything as cute as this?! Adorable!!
Absolutely beautiful and very inspiring. I hope that I can someday be as good as you are, but let us face the facts; your are a master and I am a student... Hopefully I can someday master this art as thoroughly as you have. I absolutely love your creatures and I adore all of your works. I hope that you continue to make these beautiful creatures and I hope that I may someday have the honor of calling one my own. Thank you so much for your beautiful creations and thank you for being an inspiration to me.
I really love your fantasy world !
Where do you get those beautiful eyes?
there`s no point me even looking at these i can never find or afford these beautiful things
so pretty <3
migoodness WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm just gonna say, your work is amazing to see and inspiring. Would it be possible to get some tips on a project I want to work on? I saw a couple of your things and decided 'Hey! I can do that too!', but I think I've gotten myself in a little deep without the know how on how to do this... I'm trying to make a life sized posing doll of a dragon, she's reasonably small, like, small cat sized. I started to make her, but i picked my materials really poorly... turns out floral wire works great for making a skeleton of a action figure like thing, not for posing... I've looked up all sorts of stuff looking for a logical way on how to put her together, but there's not much. Like. At all. (Or I'm not looking in the right places...)
So, yeah, if you're willing to give tips, that'd be awesome because I have no clue how to do this properly... If not, you're still an amazing artist and I'll just admire from the side lines jealously.
Thanks for your time, if you get to read this.
Hello, thanks for the kind words. You might try bailing wire from a hardwear store, you can double it over however many times you need for the amount of strength desired, have fun!
Awh this is so fluffy and cute! The colors on the fur is amazing and the eyes @.@ I'm am so 100% in love with this one.
This is ADORABLE!!!! I'm glad you use synthetic fur and naturally-dropped stuff
so cute! :*
Cuteness! ^w^
tehe SO cute and just plum adorable. ^_^
Omg *-* This looks super cutee
So adorable!
I love your art so much, I wish I knew how you did it I couldn't imagine making anything near as good as you do but i would love to try xp
Utterly adorable! This little guy is one of my favourites so far of your wonderful creatures
What animal inspired this?? It's so lovely!!!
Baby goat! And thank you!
May I draw Fum? It's just so cute I can't help myself! By the way, what kind of dye do you use for the fur? Is it water down acrylics?
The original creatures you image never cease to amaze me--and never stop being either adorable or cool!
I wish I could pet a creature like Fum... He is just incredible.
I wish I could pet a creature like Fum... He is just incredible.
Looks really nice - and great to hear that you don't use real fur (which almost always supports animal cruelty)
Those eyes are so lively, and the entire creature looks real!
The work you did before was charming, fun, cool and more than original - but each piece since you've come back from the workshop looks absolutely alive! You've come into a league of your own, and other than "Merry Holidays!" , all I can say is "Congrats, you've made it to a whole new level - beyond."
One day, if not already, your workshop will be an honor to visit, like WETA's. n.n
Merry Christmas, and always more.
its so freaking cute!
That is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time!
ooh its so super cute!!! i like the color on this one
...sigh...what a cute and adorable little creature... i love it!!
Gorgeous, I love it!
Having one of your creatures is what I dream of for Christmas.
Unfortunately, it will most likely never happen . . .
Unfortunately, it will most likely never happen . . .
your works are just so cute! i assume you use wire for being able to pose the figures or is it something else?
OMG! This little one just begs to be held!
this is so beautiful in a unique way

One in eight male teleworkers and one in 14 female teleworkers say they do their jobs in the nude, according to a new survey on the habits of remote and mobile workers worldwide.
While we're talking dirty: more than half the women don't shower on work-at-home days and men are even worse, with only about one in three washing.
Not that all this is making people any less productive, in their view, according to the survey by Insight Express and security vendor SonicWall. Three-quarters of those surveyed said working at home makes them more productive and 61% said they believe their managers would agree.
SonicWall's angle on this survey of 941 remote and mobile workers? To learn about security habits. It found that 88% acknowledge storing passwords in unsafe spots and that only 12% use encryption to safeguard files.
Other findings:
* 18% of men find time to do household tasks while on the clock.
* 28% of respondents say they watch TV while on the job.
* 9% said they feel guilty sometimes about being away from the main office.

Penn. Legislators Who Granted Pay Raise Under Fire
Penn. Legislators Who Granted Pay Raise Under Fire
Last summer, the Pennsylvania legislature granted itself a major pay increase. The middle-of-the-night move spawned outrage, and eventually the raise was abolished. But the anger that started with the raise has spawned a movement to unseat the incumbents who approved it in the first place. Damon Boughamer of member station WITF in Harrisburg, Penn., reports.

Oklahoma crime briefs for Feb. 7, 2013
In brief
Third robbery
suspect sought
Police arrested two people and are looking for a third in connection with a string of armed robberies early Wednesday in northwest Oklahoma City. A man and a woman were arrested after police received five reports of people being robbed at gunpoint between midnight and 3 a.m. in the area of Hefner Road and Council Road, police Master Sgt. Gary Knight said. One victim said he was forced into a car and driven to an ATM. The man was not hurt. Police spotted the car and arrested one of two men who tried to run as an officer approached, Knight said. A woman who arrived on the scene also was arrested. Police identified the two suspects arrested as Nicco Price, 24, and Brittney Hamilton, 27.
2-year-old recovering from burns
A 2-year-old girl is recovering from chemical burns reportedly suffered from her grandmother's meth lab, Cherokee County Undersheriff Jason Chennault said. Brenda Toniece Vann, 54, is jailed on complaints of child abuse and manufacturing methamphetamine, Chennault said. Her bail is set at $75,000. The toddler suffered burns on her side from her armpit to her diaper line, the undersheriff said. The girl now is in Cherokee Nation protective custody, he said. A search of the grandmother's residence yielded a meth lab, lab components and the shirt the toddler apparently had been wearing when she was burned, authorities said. Dog and cat feces littered the home, Chennault said. Vann has previous drug and larceny convictions in Cherokee County, records show.
Charges against man dismissed
State charges filed against an Illinois man accused of plotting to destroy 48 Ottawa County churches with Molotov cocktails were dismissed Wednesday after he was taken into federal custody, District Attorney Eddie Wyant said. Gregory Arthur Weiler II, 24, of Elk Grove Village, Ill., had been held in the Ottawa County jail on possession of an explosive or incendiary device and violation of the Oklahoma Anti-Terrorism Act. Weiler is now facing federal charges, Wyant said. Telephone calls to the U.S. Marshals Service and the federal prosecutor's office were not immediately returned. Family members have said Weiler suffers from mental illness, and both of his parents suffered from drug use and committed suicide. He was deemed competent to stand trial in January.
Woman arrested in bomb threats
A Wagoner woman was arrested Wednesday in connection with two bomb threats this week. Jessica Dugger-Fry, 38, will be charged with two counts of threatening communications involving explosive devices, and assault and battery on a police officer, Muskogee County District Attorney Larry Moore said. Authorities said a call was made to the district attorney's office Monday concerning an explosive device in the courthouse. Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb technicians evacuated the building from about 9:40 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A second threat was made Wednesday in a call to the Muskogee Police Department. Moore said he will ask that a mental competency evaluation of Dugger-Fry be conducted.

Rafa Benitez: Fans are getting behind me
RAFA BENITEZ last night claimed he was winning over Chelsea fans.
I can guarantee a lot of fans are positive when I see them
He was greeted with a chorus of boos from Chelsea's own fans at his first match, and anti-Rafa banners can still be seen at matches.
But Benitez says a chance encounter when he bumped into supporters at the Chelsea staff party on Thursday proves he is turning the corner.
"I can guarantee a lot of fans are positive when I see them," said Benitez.
"I went to the Chelsea staff party – I was there 15 minutes talking to people and they were very positive."
Although the Blues lost the Club World Cup Final to Corinthians in Japan six days ago, in other recent matches they have been hitting the target time and time again.
Aside from the Corinthians setback, Chelsea have scored 17 goals in four games and Benitez admitted that could be a factor in him being accepted.
"Scoring a lot of goals always helps," he said. "I said at the beginning that we had to win together. It is easier if the fans are behind the team and supporting the team.
"That's the best way, so there are no distractions. If we keep winning games, they will be behind us. We have to be together."
The Spaniard claims the Blues will be put to the test when they host in-form Aston Villa tomorrow.
