How Well Are Your IT Groups Supporting Digital Experiences?

Your customers have been dazzled by the customer experiences they see from firms like Google or Apple. How are you going to keep up? Do you have the right IT culture and people in place to deliver on this new imperative? Are your IT objectives based on deep customer understanding? Do you have strategic scenarios to achieve your goals that are cross-business and take into account important strategic elements like governance and change management? Do you have the right provisioning policies and technology tools in place?
Most firms we speak with still have application development and delivery (AD&D) pros focused on keeping systems stable and secure. That's no longer enough. In our recently published Digital Experience Delivery Maturity Assessment, we outline more than 100 essential practices for organizations looking to act on their digital transformation strategies. Keep in mind this is an emerging space so no one has figured everything out, but our assessment outlines four major areas to begin with:
- People. IT's culture, leadership practices, collaboration methods, and skills and staffing are important factors that affect the delivery of digital customer experiences. Organizations strive to have IT groups with an agile, customer-first culture; collaborative organizational structures and metrics that foster collaboration between marketing, lines of business, and IT; and the appropriate skills and staffing that support both back-end development (e.g., mobile application developers, data-literate architects) and solution management (e.g., web content management specialists, digital asset managers).
- Objectives. Your objectives identify and establish the customers your organization intends to serve, your short- and long-term goals, and a framework for digital customer experience business cases. Organizations who have been successful disseminate customer understanding to IT groups, who use this deep customer research to form long- and short-term IT goals.
- Strategy. Strategic elements take objectives a step further; they create achievable and prioritized scenarios so that you can reach your goals. Organizations further in maturity here have, among other things, created firm reference architectures about various sourcing priorities and have disciplined digital experience governance around not just the digital strategy, but also around the various digital experience technologies (and the integrations between them).
- Technology. Technology solutions and tools play an important role in managing, delivering, and measuring and optimizing digital customer experiences and the associated business processes. Successful IT groups map out their sourcing priorities (not just for technology but also for third-party agencies and SIs), bridge the technology/design gap, and source best-of-breed technologies to support the management, delivery, and measurement of digital experiences.
Where are you in your digital experience delivery goals? What areas have you progressed the most, and which need some work? Take our digital experience delivey maturity assessment. We'd love to hear your thoughts below.

While President Barack Obama embarked on his two-day economic opportunity policy tour, First Lady Michelle Obama went on her own official trip fundraising in California from Wednesday, Jan. 29 to Friday, January 31, 2014. While on the trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco for Democratic fundraisers for Midterm Election races, the First Lady spoke with Ryan Seacrest for his KIIS-FM radio show On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014. The First Lady was being interviewed "in honor of the fourth anniversary of her "Let's Move!" campaign" encouraging healthy eating and exercise for kids and also promoted the President's health care law, the Affordable Care Act. However, the conversation veered to the personal where Michelle revealed some personal details about her favorite TV show, turning 50, being a mother of teenage girls and her plans for a romantic Valentine's Day with the President.
Michelle dished that her new favorite show is ABC's Scandal starring Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope, where Washington's scandal replicates the real Washington, and one of the hottest dramas on network TV. The First Lady admitted; "I hadn't watched it until this past vacation - we went to Hawaii so I had a long flight - so I watched all the seasons. I never watched it [before]." Michelle also praised the show's actress: "I love Kerry Washington. She is amazing, so it makes the show fun. It really does. It was fun to watch."
The First Lady turned 50 on Jan. 17 with a dance party at the White House attended by a who's who of the entertainment world, where she was serenaded by Beyoncé, John Legend and Stevie Legend. Michelle has taken turning the milestone birthday in stride and actually with enthusiasm. She told Seacrest that "I'm 50, I think everybody in the country knows that I am the 50. Just in case you missed it. But you know, quite frankly, I think everything gets better with age. You're more confident, you know yourself more, you're not concerned about what other people think. And if you've taken care of your health, many times you can be in the best shape you've been in…You watch your kids grow up and I know, my girls, they're starting to become real people with opinions and it's just so much fun to talk to them now."
Michelle also revealed that after planning her big 50th bash, President Obama has yet to make plans for the first couple's Valentine's Day. Even though there are no plans yet, the First Lady is certain they will be good, but probably "low-key"; "This year, again, I've had this big birthday celebration - my husband really celebrated me so well - he did a great job. I had a great couple of weeks, so I think we're going to low-key it for Valentine's Day. We have been married for 21 years and he never forgets a Valentine's Day, an anniversary, a birthday. He's really good at that kind of stuff."
Seacrest who is also the host of American Idol which just began its new season, asked the First Lady what song she would audition to. Staying true to one of the legends that serenaded at her party, Michelle revealed she would sing a Stevie Wonder song and even sung a line of a song on the air, but was certain she would not make it to the Hollywood round. The First Lady expressed; "I think by now people know that I love Stevie Wonder. He is a musical genius. He is one of my favorite artists of all time. And I would probably sing, 'You Are The Sunshine of My Life.' And then people would press a button and kick me out or whatever you do."
Speaking about their two daughters Malia 15 and Sasha, 12 the First Lady said they "lead as normal a life as possible." The First Lady explained that their home life is as down to earth, regular and normal with the same activities other kids their age participate in, being the first family does not intrude in their private sphere; "We make sure our home is a safe space for family, so that when Barack comes off the elevator and walks through the door, he's just Dad. And the girls are really good at that because they're more concerned about their issues. Like, 'Oh, Dad, tough luck! By the way, where's my allowance?' "
The family makes sure that they "eat dinner" together, where the topic is usually focused on their daughters' day at school, activities, friends and life. However, the healthy food the First Lay recommends as part of her "Let's Move" initiative is not always so appreciated by her own daughters, Michelle admitted; "We have a lot of, 'Finish your vegetables' conversations.'" While the First Lady divulged that her favorite soup is "turkey Italian wedding soup."
But when broached about their daughters dating, Michelle also said she does not know what the President will do with the girls' prospective dates when time comes; "I don't know what his strategy is… I don't know what his approach will be. We haven't really talked about it, we will cross that bridge."
The First Lady recounted how she applies the "Let's Move" campaign to her children. Michelle explained that "With regard to physical activity, we've always, since the time they were little, put them in activities as much as possible." Mrs. Obama stated thatshe and the President serve as role models to their children for working out and leading healthy lifestyles; "They've always had to do a team sport, as well as an individual sport, and they see us working out every morning. Barack and I work out together every single morning."
Michelle Obama described her daily work-out and exercise routine that keeps in that great shape and looking youthful; "I get up in the morning, usually either right before the kids go to school or right after, and I do about an hour and a half workout. I try to do 45 minutes of cardio and then whatever I'm doing that day."
On the more serious side of the interview, the First Lady also helped to sell the health care law, and encourage Americans to sign-up for health insurance, especially Seacrest's target audience, American youth who have lagged behind the most in signing up for the new health insurance. According to ABC News right now only 3 million have registered for the new health plans, and the White House hopes to reach 7 million by the March 31 deadline.
Most of the youth cannot see why they need health insurance, so the First Lady gave examples of how it can affect and help young otherwise health Americans; "I always joke about this, the young people are the ones out at the club at 3 o'clock in the morning and who's more likely to slip on some ice. And young people are doing these pickup games, all of sudden they're just going to play volleyball. Beach volleyball. Well, you twist your ankle, you cut yourself because you're just learning how to cook." She believes it is those freak accidents that you never believe will happen that do and the young need insurance to be prepared; "I mean, you know, life throws you some curve balls, and young people in particular need to have insurance."

While one of the main goals of Brian Plus Amanda Photography is to get awesome newborn photos, the first priority is always safety.
Baby's Safety
It is important to Brian and Amanda to establish a relationship and trust with their clients before they even start shooting. During the session the baby is posed on a large posing "puck" and with the help of posing pillows they secure the baby and most importantly keep their tiny bobble heads still.
There are times when the babies are placed in baskets, buckets, and other props which are filled with lots of padding so the baby is comfortable. Together, Brian and Amanda pose the baby and when they are ready, one of them steps away to take the photograph. During the entirety of the session one of them is always right next to the baby. There are even times when one of them is holding on to the baby in the shot, and then simply retouched out later.
For certain shots, like the babies on Harleys, Amanda dresses in all black from head to toe including black gloves. Like a ninja, she hides right behind the baby who is posed against a black background and she never lets go for even a second.
Baby's Comfort
They keep their home studio between 78 and 80 degrees during shoots no matter what time of year, so they ask the parents to dress for summer even during the winter months. They also provide a room for mom to nurse and change the baby during the session.
The baby is kept covered with a blanket until literally the last second, then like a magician performing a trick they remove the blanket and snap the picture. During the shoot their is white noise playing to drown out any ambient noises which acts to remind the baby of being in the womb. And of course, they make their shots very fast and if at any time the baby becomes too upset, it's right back to mommy until they have calmed down.
Reassuring The Parents
The parents and sometimes even grandparents are right behind Brian and Amanda during the whole shoot, so the baby is never very far away. They ask the parents to let them know during any part of the shoot if they feel uncomfortable or have any questions or suggestions.
As parents themselves they fully understand how it can be a scary thought to hand someone your brand new baby and step back, but they let the parents know that they would never do anything that they wouldn't feel comfortable doing with their own baby.
In the end their goal is to ensure the baby is safe, the parents are comfortable, and this result is being able to get great shots.

Ruger recently announced the availability of 30-rounders to the public, too. There has been plenty of internet chatter about it. I am sure a look at Ruger's site would be informative.
The 5-rounders are about what they have been recently, twenty-something bucks.
Except for one .223 5-rounder I recently bought for a specific reason, I have not purchased any Mini-14 mags in a while myself.
I have a decent supply of 20's and 30's.

In the first game of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs, the San Jose Sharks were dominant through the first two periods. It was the last two periods that did in the Pacific Division rival Los Angeles Kings Sunday, April 20.
As the series shifts to Los Angeles, San Jose needs only two more wins over the final five games to advance to the second round. So far, this looks like a team headed for a deep Stanley Cup run.
It did not start out that way. After quitting on a third period in the series opener that saw the Sharks allow three unanswered goals before an empty-net score, they gave up two goals in the first half of the first period.
Jake Muzzin needed just 111 seconds to get the first goal. A Tommy Wingels giveaway led to a shot by Justin Williams, and the puck was sent deep after the San Jose failed to clear it. Anze Kopitar found Drew Doughty, who fed his blue line partner for a screened shot to take the lead.
Muzzin also scored the first goal in the first game of the Pacific Division semifinals. (At least this series can appropriately be called that, as both opponents are from within the division.) Los Angeles had all four shot attempts in the first 2:20 of the game, both faceoff wins, two of the three hits, the only takeaway and just one of the two giveaways despite the higher puck possession.
The Sharks had a 15-6 edge in shots for the rest of the period but still gave up the next goal when another scorer from the series opener's third period added a tally 9:33 in: Jeff Carter took possession of the puck along the boards in the attack zone and fired a centering pass in front of the crease for Trevor Lewis to redirect in.
Coach Todd McLellan said in the post-game press conference that he felt his lines were "running around a bit" even into the second period. About three minutes after intermission, he decided to move Tomas Hertl to the top line and have Joe Pavelski center the third line.
The new first line got the puck to the offensive blue line after the next faceoff, registering two hits. Then the fourth line took over.
The normally defensively-sound Marc-Edouard Vlasic had been on the ice for both first period goals, with the man he was defending scoring the second. He made up for it to some extent by taking the hit needed to get the puck out of the zone to set up the next attack.
About 10 seconds later, the Sharks were on the giving end of an offensive zone hit and cashed in on it. Raffi Torres delivered the hit to help keep it in the offensive zone. Andrew Desjardins took advantage of a giveaway and sent the puck to the high slot for Mike Brown's one-timer that was his first career Stanley Cup playoff goal.
Not five minutes passed when taking another hit resulted in a goal. Brown blocked a shot deep in his own end, and Raffi Torres advanced it to Desjardins in the neutral zone and took another hit to drop it back for the snap-shot goal from Jonathan Quick's glove-side circle.
Torres has scored five goals and two assists in seven games between the 2013-14 NHL season and Pacific Division semifinals, with at least a point in six of them. San Jose kept the pressure on and got the lead 5:15 before intermission—again because of physical play.
Seconds after a Matt Nieto hit in the defensive zone, Pavelski laid another and advanced the puck to James Sheppard on the defensive blue line. The once frequently-scratched forward continues to be a great asset, carrying the puck into the attack zone and firing a tough-angle shot that rimmed around to Justin Braun, whose shot through a Tommy Wingels screen beat Quick to the far side.
The third period loomed, but the Sharks had scored three unanswered. The Kings were rattled, committing uncharacteristic defensive mistakes. One allowed Patrick Marleau advance the puck out of his zone to start an odd-man rush just over a minute into the third.
His pass into the neutral zone was taken by Logan Couture, who sent it to Nieto entering the offensive zone on the right wing. The impressive rookie pulled up and fed it across to Marleau at the high, inside edge of the other circle for the wrist-shot, top-shelf goal.
The biggest defensive breakdown came about three minutes later. After a sustained attack by San Jose, a quick re-entry caught Los Angeles in a poor line change. Wingels was able to chip it to Dan Boyle in front of his blue line, who fed Pavelski on the attack too far across for the only defender to stop a wrist-shot goal from being ripped into the near corner.
After Thursday's third period, the Sharks knew better than to sit on a three-goal lead. Four minutes later, Marleau got the puck from Nieto in the attack zone and fed it to the slot. Slava Voynov got a stick on it to slow it down, but that only opened up the weak side of the net for Couture, who was able to slow down enough to wait for it.
Things naturally started to get chippy. Add the dominance of San Jose to the pride of Los Angeles and the Pacific Division rivalry to the importance of a Stanley Cup playoff series that is on the precipice of being over and the 11 penalties that followed were no surprise.
On the power play from the first one, Boyle fed Pavelski above the left-wing circle. Thornton had an open net to fire at when the cross-ice pass found him inside of the far circle. That ended the scoring, but the Sharks won the battles from the middle of the first until the middle of the third, when the game was decided.
The Kings won the faceoff battle 35-30 and committed only two more turnovers—four fewer giveaways but six fewer takeaways—with had one more hit, but lost many of the battles for the loose pucks. Most of the goals they surrendered were not on Quick but those defensive lapses. They also blocked only 10 shots for him, and he was seen delivering a message to the bench near the end of the game.
San Jose had only two more shot attempts, but 14 more on goal thanks to responding with 22 blocks. A dozen players scored for the second straight game, and the depth and speed of this team have been too much for Los Angeles to handle so far.
That being said, the Sharks clearly know what Mark Purdy of the San Jose Mercury News reminded fans in his column after the game—the series is far from over just two games in. McLellan pointed out that the Kings were down two games to none against the St. Louis Blues in the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs and came back to win the next four, and that "scores don't matter" because each win counts the same.
Torres admitted Los Angeles would be better, acknowledging that expecting more of this would be "kidding ourselves." Still, having to win four of five and at least one of two on the road, where the 2012 Stanley Cup champions have been out-scored 13-5 in two games. Having their best player scored upon three more times already than all seven games of the 2013 Western Conference semifinals has to shake them even more.
There were so many candidates to be Examiner.com's stars for San Jose's second game of the Pacific Division semifinals that is was hard to limit it to three...
Joe Pavelski
Joe Pavelski had a goal and two assists on five shots and six attempts, with two hits and takeaways while leading his unit with 19:49 ice time. He won only five of 13 faceoffs, but his move to the third line changed the direction of the game as much as anything, and the San Jose Sharks rattled off seven unanswered goals.
Mike Brown
Mike Brown not only scored the first goal of the game, but it was the first playoff goal of his NHL career. It also came on his only shot attempt and he had a giveaway, but his block makes up for that and his eight hits led both teams. More than that, he can be credited for rattling Jonathan Quick by crashing the net hardest.
Justin Braun
Justin Braun had the game-winning goal on one of his two shot attempts—the other also made it on net. He was also his usual reliable self defensively, finishing plus-3 thanks in part to three blocked shots.

Hey, everyone! Let's head on down to Durty Nelly's and...
Oh. Wait.
Well, we can always saunter on over to Murphy's Ale House for...
Oh. Wait.
Why does Chattanooga hate the Irish? They're so darn cute with their accents and red hair and cirrhosis. Seems no one wants to drink Irish on any day but St. Patrick's Day (hereafter referred to as StPD as a precaution against carpal tunnel). These must be the same people who only go to church on Easter; yet somehow those places stay open.
Come on, people. Have you looked around for StPD events? Yes, it's on a Wednesday this year, and that sucks, wah wah WAH. Still. There's no excuse for the dearth of opportunities to stereotype the Irish as drunken brawlers who make rude comments to pretty ladies. It's our culture to rape other cultures. If we stand by and do nothing, what are we leaving for future generations? THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
Here is a rundown in no particular order of everything that could be dug up. Sorry it's so short, but really...isn't that your fault?
The Fox and Hound (2040 Hamilton Place Blvd, Ste 150), despite all of the lurid adverts sporting strippers in green bowler hats, will not be doing anything for St. Patricks Day. Okay, that's not strictly true. They'll be hosting "Keg and Eggs", opening at 8am to serve a $2.99 breakfast. The first 20 people to enter will eat free, so, gosh, let's all rush in on a Wednesday morning to get the good seats for (possibly) free eggs and beer. Presumably for hardcore alcoholics only, it would have carried a lot more weight if served the next morning to people on their way home from the real party. (423) 490-1200.
Hair of the Dog Pub (334 Market Street ) is having their 5th Annual St Patrick's Day party. It's less a "party" and more "being open", a fact betrayed by their assertion that it's "going on all day". They'll be playing up Irish menu items, the most appealing of which seems to be Guinness chocolate cupcakes with Bailey's caramel icing (not that that really goes with beer, but who's gonna argue). If you buy a novelty T-shirt for around $15, the Dog'll throw in a pub glass free if that counts for anything. And of course they'll be running drink specials. But the tyranny of the English over the Irish continues – in their words, "no whining about us not having green beer." (423) 265-4615.
The Palms (6925 Shallowford Rd.) will provide Preston Parris for your perusal. His breathy indie pop is permeated with provoking pieces praising the pulchritude of his pithy perceptions. Purple pickles.
The Blue Water Grille (224 Broad St.) will be the home of "St Patrick's Day 'Lucky' Go Red for Women Event". It's a fundraiser for the American Heart Association that somehow missed getting organized before Valentine's Day. The tenuous connection to StPD is that they'll be having raffles for door prizes – luck being supposedly the exclusive domain of the Irish. So if you have chlorophiobia (fear of the color green) or gingerphobia (fear of redheads), you could do worse than to hide out for the holiday while contributing to a good cause. (423)266-4200
At J.J.'s Bohemia (231 E Martin Luther King Blvd), it's a decidedly non-Irish palette featuring Daikaju, the Japanese KISS of surf music (frealz), and the grinding prog-punk sound of touring partner Ampline. Southern-sounding jam band One Shoe Untied may make an appearance. Or not. They're laid back like that. Show starts at 10pm. (423) 266-1400.
It may anger Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit to think that they're basically the Drive-By Truckers when you can't have the Drive-By Truckers. Well, technically, you're getting one. But that's plenty. It's sort of like Drive-By Anglicans. (Get it? 'Cause Henry VIII...you know...never mind.) Bluesy bravuras The Cadillac Saints reprise their popular opening role for the show at Rhythm & Brews (221 Market St.), 9:30 p.m. $12.
Taco Mac (423 Market Street) will continue to exist. It's mentioned here only because it's always crowded on StPD due to having the best beer selection in town on the holiest of drinking holidays. Sadly, this year the Bagpipe Playing Dudes that played out front of Taco Mac in previous years are off at competition and will not be around. (423) 267-8226.
The Molly Maguires play the North Shore Grill (16 Frazier Ave.) at 8:00 p.m. Parish folk from the venerated "Molly church" of old may bridle at the slick environs when compared to the old Local. But look on the sunny side, friends – The North Shore Grill is one of the few venues in Chattanooga left that's big enough to accommodate the Maguires' massive fanbase. Plus you can hear it on the street for free.
RAW (409 Market St.) is ostensibly a sushi bar, but it's a lot more bar than sushi. And at this (sushi) bar, local rock folks Eris are playing an StPD show starting at 10:00 p.m. It's really more an StPD show in terms of the date than the music – but no experienced showgoer would rule out crowd-pleasing Irish rock covers. Eris cleaned up in 2009 with Times Free Press FYI magazine awards for…well, everything. These up-and-comers have been up and coming for a while now; thus they have the seasoned stage presence and local following to go with their teen-emo-boy good looks. So, while thematic festivity may be relative, it's bound to be a decent show. (423) 756-1919.
The Tennessee Bouldering Authority (3804 St. Elmo Ave.) offers an all-day $7 pass if you wear green. Why you'd be drinking on a climbing wall is beyond the scope of this column.
These are tough times for Eirephiles in Chattanooga. But keeping hope alive in the breast for a rich tableau of future StPD shenanigans is the responsibility of every right-thinking and right-drinking man woman and child (okay, not child) in our fair burgh. For St. Patrick's Day is wherever you are. It's not about what's on stage – it's in our hearts, and destroying our livers.
Erin go BLEEARRGHHHhhhh...sorry about the shoes.

Isn't there a time period in which a champion must defend their title? I always thought it was every thirty days. With CM Punk being injured for so long I would have figured he would be stripped of the title for lack of defending it.
Remember this was a storyline initiative and WWE conveniently "forgets" storylines when they are counterintuitive to what they are trying to accomplish. In CM Punk's case, WWE has planned for months to do Punk vs. The Rock for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble. While not officially announced like Rock's Wrestlemania bout, it's a program they've had their eyes on for quite some time. With Punk's recent knee problems, Vince McMahon wanted to take every precaution possible to assure he'll be able to go at 100% at the pay-per-view next month.
What's going on with Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara?
As we reported here on Richard's Backstage Blog, Rey Mysterio was taken back off television to continue to deal with personal issues. Sin Cara is recuperating in Mexico from knee surgery. He was backstage at the Raw taping on Saturday night but was back in Mexico as of Sunday.
Since chair shots to the head were banned in WWE, anytime someone uses a chair it's always over the back. I think it looks weak and ineffective, if you could, how would you book it so a chair shot looks like it could 'do some damage'?
I haven't been a fan of a lot of the things that have come with WWE's PG initiative (watered down storylines, corny jokes, over-the-top cartoonish characters), however, I am all for banning chair shots to the head. While using them "over the back" doesn't look as effective, it's much safer for the workers. Under no circumstances should anyone be taking an unprotected chair shot over the head given what we now know about concussions. To answer your question there is no other way to use a chair than how they are currently used. Anyone that knows me knows I'm not big on gimmicks, including chairs, so it's not really that big of a deal to me.
What did you think about the "we want Nexus" chants on Raw? Would you like to see the group reformed now that some of the members have developed into stars?
The Nexus still has a following but I wouldn't favor a resurrection of the faction. Factions are fine but are always limited in lifespan and it's when their lifespan is forcibly extended when they end up failing. WWE hasn't had success in trying to bring back past factions – just take a look at what happened with the new World order and DeGeneration X.

She's In Control & More
Yes, it's that time once again: The day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers.
This week's Q&A focuses on maintaining control in a relationship. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
You say that if you buy a woman enough dinners, she may begin to feel some AFFECTION for you... but food and gifts will never lead to ATTRACTION. Can you explain this a bit more?
To answer this question, I want to share an interesting story about a conversation I had this evening. I was talking with, of all people, my MOM about the topic of "men paying for things for women" and it was fascinating to me to hear her perspective.
Without hesitation, she said that she believes that men should pay for everything, and if they really like a woman that they should SUPPORT her as well.
Of course, I burst out with, "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!"
After we shared a laugh, she said, "No, I'm not kidding."
And she wasn't kidding, either.
My own mother believes that it's just part of being a "gentleman and good suitor" to pay for dinners, gifts and even shelter for the woman he desires.
I immediately replied with [paraphrased]:
"This kind of sounds to me like you believe that men should pay women to give them attention, affection and sex."
At this point, I think she remembered that I write books about this kind of thing and she gave up. But the thing that really got my attention was that she REALLY BELIEVES THAT MEN SHOULD PAY FOR EVERYTHING. IN FACT, SHE BELIEVES IT AT THE "WELL, OF COURSE! THAT'S JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO" LEVEL!
Heavy man, heavy.
No wonder I was such a loser before with women.
OK, I love my mom and mean no disrespect towards her...
But let's talk about the real world for a second.
Here are a few things that I believe about how things work in general when it comes to women and dating:
1) People in general, MALE OR FEMALE, intuitively know when they are being "pursued." As soon as we know that we have something that someone else wants, the price starts to go up. Economics 101.
2) When the price starts going up (translation: She realizes that you really like her and she starts playing hard to get, making you "prove" yourself, etc.), you start to LOSE CONTROL RAPIDLY.
3) When you lose control, you have a couple of basic ways you can respond: A) Pursue her harder, giving her even MORE control; OR B) Give up. (Neither of these options sounds very good to me.)
4) An alternative is to NEVER START GIVING UP CONTROL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
5) One way to do that is to stay away from things that put a woman into the "courting" mode of thinking and behavior.
6) Asking a woman to dinner and then buying is probably the absolute most certain way to put a woman in the state of mind that she is being "pursued" (with the possible exception of stalking her, which I strongly discourage).
By the way, I'm not opposed to the idea of buying dinner for a woman. I'm opposed to the mindset that you put her into when you buy it.
Make sense?
I know I shouldn't act like a "wussy" around women, but it seems like I can't control myself in this area. I don't WANT to act this way, but I keep doing it. Any advice?
It takes a lot for most guys to SEE WITH THEIR OWN TWO EYES how NOT being a Wuss affects women... and how it makes women RESPOND differently.
Once you realize how your Inner Wussy is making women RUN away from you, it gets easier to EVICT it.
Where are some places you recommend going to meet women?You need to look for those magical activities that are interesting, enjoyable, and (BIG AND) also draw intelligent, gorgeous women like a magnet.
Try an art history class.
Or go to a classy "food fair" or restaurant opening.
Hit a yoga class or a kickboxing aerobics class.
Dance classes are also a big winner.
In other words, there are some great places you can go to meet women... AND have fun... AND become a more interesting, classy guy.
Who'd a thunk it?

Reviews for Firecracker Casserole
"Decided to try this since I needed a quick dinner and had all the ingredients on hand...was not disappointed at all! I only used 1 lb ground beef and a 9x9 dish, which meant only 2 tortillas were necessary to cover the bottom layer. (I even used crunchy old tortillas way past their prime and they turned out great!)"
"The taste was good, but the meat and beans had nothing to hold it together. It looked like crumbs, it was hard to pick up with fork."
"Amazingly good !! I did up the cheese to 2 cups of Mexican mix shredded and maybe next time will add black olives and green onions on top for garnish and flavor. The tortillas inside seemed to be an "after thought"---kinda gooey. (But it might have been the extra cheese I covered them with--ha). We will definitely be adding this to our "Mexican Night " !! My daughter used it as a filling in extra tortillas."
"This was delicious! I will diffenatly make this again !!"
"Use nacho cheese soup instead and you get a lot more flavor to this great casserole. I also sprinkle two cups crushed tortilla chips mixed with cheese on the top, rather than laying plain tortillas atop. It gives it a bit of a crunch. Otherwise, it's gummy!"

Amazing performance, loved it! Good that as soon as I found it on YouTube I downloaded it, you can't take 2012 LP videos for granted now u__u
But excellent delivering, one of the best. Chester was more accurate and clean in this one than, say, the Billboard Awards (which was really good but had weak mixing).
They teasing us with that Living Things CD.

They should use fire not only during these performaces. Really cool.
Amazing Performance. I like the fact that it has such a clear and high sound.
Also Raab's TV production and the team of sound engineers were on the top. *applause*
We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes--or rather, we've seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are televiewers, telehearers, teleknowers. (M.F.)
formerly known as formerly known.
Best BID performance ever! And btw look what i found, it's amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLpuQlbwaEA
Somehow, almost better than the studio version... I wish the last studio chorus had something of this live performance for a last incredible build up: it felt more... alive.
Almost perfect performance... I noticed Rob, was that the actual drums used during recording? its almost the same as the studio quality... why Rob did not use his own drum kit with the LP logo on the drumhead.?
Best performance of BID so far!
Fucking amazing. Chester sounded awesome. I wish they were this good at the Billboard awards

Flawless! And I love the fact that you can see Brad is playing synth (or what it is) during Mike's rap. Now people might get that he is not JUST the guitar player...
Formerly known as Ruukkz
The guitar sounded great.
Seems like Linkin Park heard about this instrumental and used it as playback: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KYs5lDbAv0
In the description you find a download link to Burn It Down with louder guitars (way better that the original)
08/June/2007 - Oeiras Alive!07 (Pearl Jam, LINKIN PARK, Blasted Mechanism, The Used)
06/June/2008 - Rock in Rio (LINKIN PARK, The Offspring, Muse, Kaiser Chiefs, Orishas)
26/May/2012 - Rock in Rio (Smashing Pumpkins, LINKIN PARK, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit)
30/May/2014 - Rock in Rio (Steve Aoki, LINKIN PARK, Queens of the Stone Age, Capital Inicial)
Could be an instrumental playback, but they turned up the guitar for sure. Take a look at 2:17~, you see Rob hitting a cymbal but you cant hear it
Near pitch perfect, ey? *raises eyebrow* Mr Autotune was present at the post mix of this song. Sounds good though

RIM and Microsoft: Two Turkeys Don't Make an Eagle
Just as two turkeys don't an eagle make, the prospects for the combined efforts of two struggling companies with little in the way of a clear direction, and no popular mobile products on the market look dim indeed. Now that Research in Motion has hired J.P. Morgan and RBC Capital Markets to help them find a way to salvage or possibly sell parts of its business, there is speculation that Microsoft could swoop in to buy the company's patent portfolio or acquire the company outright.
But Microsoft and RIM are both losing market share to Apple and Google, and neither RIM nor Microsoft have been able to capitalize on the BYOD trend propelling Android and iOS devices into the workplace; in fact, RIM is clearly the loser in that wave. And neither company has developed any significant traction with developers to make their application store ecosystems more attractive to users.
Jefferies and Co. said Microsoft will likely wait and see how its Windows 8 operating system, which is designed to work with PCs, tablets and smartphones, is received by the market before pulling the trigger on any such deal. CIOs won't have too long to wait before learning the BlackBerry maker's fate; Windows 8 is due out next month.

"Cwisis on Infinate Earths"
Reviewed by: Gareth Baker (email@example.com)
Back at the fight, the JLA are having real problems. Even Superman is being beaten by The Toyman's weapons. But one Toon comes up with a cunning plan. Green Arrow shoots Pepe Le Pew into The Toyman's tank, causing the villains to surrender from the stench. At another fight, the quick thinking Speedy Gonzalez with the help of Batman and Plastic Man save Green Lantern from a fall to certian death. The giant toy soldier they are fighting is far too much, that is until Bugs convinces Taz that it will make an enjoyable meal! At another fight, Wonder Woman, J'onn J'onzz and Aquaman are fighting a robot dragon. Here it's Tweety Bird that saves the day. He flies into the cockpit and fiddles with a few knobs and buttons, and soon the dragon is doing the macarena. When the villainous pilots attempt to escape, Wonder Woman captures them in her lasso of truth.
At his hideout, The Toyman is furious, so furious in fact, that he doesn't see a glue covered Duck Knight approaching.
In their own hideout, The Do-Do prepares to merge the two universes, much to Mxy's annoyance. Why didn't he think of it first?
At last The Toyman sees The Duck Knight. The villain tries to bribe our hero, when the pair of them begin to disappear from existence as The Toyman gets stuck to The Duck Knight. This happens to all the DCU heroes and the Looney Toons. In the new universe, The Toyman begins to threaten The Duck Knight when the JLA and the Toons turn up. He surrenders.
Everyone can now see the Do-Do and Mr Mxy. Mxy goes to press the button to complete the merger. Bugs gets into his trickery action, and suggests that Mxy post how he did it on the internet at WWW.KLTPZYXM.COM. As soon as Mxy types it he realises he's been tricked, and disappears. However, it is not over. The Do-Do presses the red button. But nothing happens. The Do-Do reprogrammed the computer ages ago. He didn't want them to merge. The DCU seems a perfect place for him to create mayhem. Everyone returns home, except for one person...
Back in the normal Metropolis, Perry White discovers a box. He opens it to discover a... singing frog.
Story - 4: This was the best of the four issues. It was very funny, which as usual I have not bothered to capture in my synopsis. What I really liked was the Toons getting in on the action and saving the DCU heroes. The ending was great, and Bugs was the perfect choice to trick Mxy, which he did ever so well. I wonder if we will see The Do-Do again? I originally regretted buying this series, mostly because I thought it was a one-shot and issue one was not great, so I dreaded the other three. However, it's been good fun and I'd do it again.
Art - 3: Pretty much my usual comments. The Toons look great, the DCU characters look really bad. See comments for issues 1-3.
Cover Art - 3: Probably the weakest of all the covers, though having said that I do like The Duck Knight heroically swinging across the cover.

Reliable water services come from having one go-to repository of data. GIS is no longer your single-function tool for locating pipes and facilities. It's now a whole platform for understanding and optimizing water operations. Integrate information from sensors, meters, crews, pipes, and more, through the common language of location. Store this data in your GIS. Share interactive maps in the boardroom; push functional maps to field devices. When your data flows, so does your water.

Hidden secrets are unearthed and family tensions fly high in Pulitzer Prize nominee Jon Robin Baitz's contemporary family drama Other Desert Cities, hailed by The New York Times as "the best new play on Broadway" in 2011. Helen Hayes Award winner and former Arena Stage Associate Artistic Director Kyle Donnelly returns to direct the D.C.-area premiere of the show with a cast that features Tony Award nominee and two-time Helen Hayes Award winner Helen Carey (Mary Tyrone in Arena Stage's Long Day's Journey Into Night, Broadway's Hedda Gabler) as matriarch Polly Wyeth and two-time Tony Award nominee Larry Bryggman (Broadway's Harvey, CBS's As the World Turns) as patriarch Lyman Wyeth. Rounding out the cast are Emily Donahoe (Broadway's 33 Variations) as daughter Brooke Wyeth, Scott Drummond (Cherry Lane Theatre's A Perfect Future) as son Trip Wyeth and Martha Hackett (Pacific Resident Theatre's Nora) as their Aunt Silda Grauman.
About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage
Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.
The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.

Most similar players traded for each other
Posted by Andy on December 17, 2010
Following on to our fun with Similarity Scores, reader Rick Jennings wrote in with the following trivia question:
Name a player who was traded for his own most-similar player.
Click through for the answer, or see if you can come up with it on your own first.
Marquis Grissom's most similar 10 players:
- Devon White (904)
- Amos Otis (903)
- Cesar Cedeno (888)
- Willie Davis (879)
- Jose Cruz (874)
- Gary Matthews (873)
- Felipe Alou (866)
- Chet Lemon (864)
- B.J. Surhoff (859)
- Dusty Baker (857)
And, from Grissom's transaction register:
February 24, 2001: Traded by the Milwaukee Brewers with a player to be named later to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Devon White. The Milwaukee Brewerssent Ruddy Lugo (June 1, 2001) to the Los Angeles Dodgers to complete the trade.
There you have it--Devon White, the player most similar to Grissom, was on the other side of a 2001 trade for Grissom. Incidentally, Grissom is only #4 on White's most-similar players list, with Amos Otis taking the top spot.
Thanks to Rick for this neat find. I spent a bunch of time trying to find other examples but couldn't. Can you come up with any others? I'd even accept players appearing anywhere in the 10 most similar (career-wise).

I would say Harry Chiti was traded for the player most similar to himself in April 1962 when the Mets traded him to the Indians for a player to be named. The Indians returned Chiti in June to complete the deal.

How about Bob Uecker for Pat Corrales? Bill White and Dick Groat were throw-ins from the Cards to the Phils in that 1965 transaction, while Alex Johnson and Art Mahaffey joined Corrales in St. louis.

I'm gonna keep digging on this over the next few days, but I do have one that sort of works.
In May of 1998, Todd Zeile was part of a mega-deal that sent him and Mike Piazza from the Dodgers to the Marlins in exchange for Gary Sheffield, Charles Johnson, Jim Eisenreich and Bobby Bonilla.
Bonilla is listed at the 9th most similar player to Zeile. Zeile does not appear on Bonilla's list.
So this only works on one player and it took a multi-player deal of established guys to make it happen. It's not perfect, but I wanted to give myself a success of sorts to keep me motivated.

In 1993, Dan Miceli was traded as part of a deal for Stan Belinda, who shows up at #9 in his most similar list.
And in the "close, but no cigar" category, we have Jeff Parrett, whose #4 most similar is Dale Murray, but was traded for Dale Murphy.

Got one that really works. In 1992, the Twins traded prospect Denny Neagle to Pittsburgh for John Smiley.
Smiley is 6th on Denny Neagle's list. Neagle is 9th on Smiley's.
This may not be quite what the spirit of the list is about as Neagle ended up similar to Smiley rather than being similar when they were swapped for each other, but it does work.

Jeff, nicely done. I forgot to put in my original post that I suspected the prospect-for-veteran trade would likely be the best way to make this work, as its fairly rare for players with similar stats at the same position to be traded for each other, and the Sim Score algorithm favors guys who play the same position.
If guys were at similar points in their careers, it would look like what Rob Neyer calls a "challenge trade" of guys who play the same position.

I know this one is a reach, but when Bobby Murcer was traded for Bobby Bonds, they were both 29 years old. And while neither appears on each others most similar list, when you look at Murcer and Bonds most similar players at age 29, Reggie Smith appears on both of their lists. Smith as the most similar to Murcer and 4th most similar to Bonds. In my mind that makes Murcer and Bonds pretty similar.

Here is one I found trying to find a different trade.. This was under Eddie Stanky's transactions. It appears that Ray Sanders was traded for himself. Although this web site doesn't list him as being with the the Dodgers either in the majors or minors.
# March 6, 1948: Traded by the Boston Braves with a player to be named later, Bama Rowell and $40,000 to the Brooklyn Dodgers for a player to be named later and Eddie Stanky. The Boston Braves sent $60,000 (April 18, 1948) to the Brooklyn Dodgers to complete the trade. The Brooklyn Dodgers sent Ray Sanders (April 18, 1948) to the Boston Braves to complete the trade.

As a Canadian who watched alot of Blue Jays and Expos fans, it's funny to think that statistically White and Grissom were quite similar, when stylistically, they were very different.
White was left handed, and he was smooth in the field with long strides, and a tall and lean body. Grissom was the opposite of all those things.

All the mentions about "players to be named later" reminds me of Jose Uribe..
"The ultimate player to be named later"
In February 1985, Uribe, David Green, Dave LaPoint and Gary Rajsich were dealt to the San Francisco Giants for Jack Clark. Between the time of the initial trade and his delivery, he changed his name from José González Uribe (Uribe is his mother's maiden name; González is his father's name. See Spanish naming customs) to just José Uribe because, as he put it, "There are too many Gonzálezes in baseball!" Thus, he was humorously referred to as "the player to be named later"[1] and sometimes "the ultimate player to be named later"[2], a quote attributed to coach Rocky Bridges.

As a Yankee fan, I remeber that trade like it was yesterday.
Here were two superstar outfielders traded for each other after each having an off year.
It just wasn't something that happened very often.
Bonds played one year in NY, had a 30/30 season and was traded to the Angels for Micky Rivers and Ed Figeroa and the Yankees were off and running, winning 3 straight pennants and 2 WS.

When I saw this post's heading, I immediately went to Todd Zeile's page, knowin g he was involved in numerous trades. Unfortunately the only real close hit, was between him and Bonilla, even though that trade involved a lot of other players. Just a glance at their stats, and I'd think Bonilla (9th) would of been higher on Zeile's SC, but I was amazed at some of the names that were involved in that trade. It got me thinking, I wonder what trade in baseball history, had players who produced the most in their careers. That '98 trade may be the most for HRs. Just the 4 big names produced almost 1,500 HRs (Bonilla, Zeile, Piazza, Sheffield). Add Esienreich and Johnson, that's almost 1,700?
Also, earlier in his career, Zeile was in a trade that involved the oft moved Mike Morgan.
Those two guys were involved in so many trades over the years, it might be fun to try and determine how many players were affected by that one move. I think combined, Morgan and Zeile played for 23 MLB teams.

Found another one.
On December 1st, 1998, the Dodgers traded Charles Johnson and Roger Cedeno to the Mets for Todd Hundley.
Hundley is 5th on Johnson's list, while C.J. is first on Hundley's.
Two interesting things about this swap. First, Johnson never played for the Mets as they traded him to Baltimore that same day for Armando Benitez.
Secondly, Johnson was a pretty good player. He made a couple of All-Star teams and won 4 straight Gold Gloves at catcher. Despite that, he was always getting traded. He was part of the mega deal between the Dodgers and Marlins that sent Mike Piazza to Florida and brought Gary Sheffield to L.A.
As noted he was swapped from L.A. to New York to Baltimore in trades that involved All-Stars moving between the 3 teams.
He went from Baltimore to the White Sox along with Harold Baines in a trade deadline deal during the 2000 season.
After ending up back on the Marlins he was traded to Colorado with Preston Wilson for Mike Hampton and Juan Pierre.
Finally at the end of his career the Rockies traded him to Boston for Byung Hyun Kim. He never played for the BoSox, who actually released him that same day, and ended up playing the first few months of 2005 with Tampa before retiring.
For a talented guy who provided a HR threat and good defense at catcher, he moved around a lot.
Andy Says:
December 19th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I never understood why the Red Sox released Johnson after that trade. It's not like the NBA, where they just wanted to clear cap space. By releasing him the same day as the trade, it suggests that the release was premeditated, but that's just not something you ever hear of.
Jeff Trotter Says:
December 19th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
They're coming fast and furious now.
July 31, 2002 The Rockies trade Todd Hollandsworth and Dennys Reyes to the Rangers for Gabe Kapler and Jason Romano.

December 19th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
@ 34 Andy.
Is it possible the Redsox were hoping to get compensated for someone picking him up from waivers via draft picks, or maybe, after accepting the Rays contract, they didn't have to pay him...?

Assuming he is on the Pirates' opening day roster, Lastings Milledge will be managed by Clint Hurdle. Right now Milledge is 4th on Hurdle's list.

I must file an official protest to the original post indicating that Marquis Grissom was traded for his "most similar" player, Devon White. The trade also involved a player to be named later, who turned out to be Ruddy Lugo, whose "most similar" comparisons do not include either Mr. Grissom or Mr. White. Unless a more definite protocol is provided by the sitemasters, I have invoked the long-established Kevin Bacon "Six Degrees of Separation" process in order to further define the true value of the trade. In clicking Mr. Lugo's #1 "most similar" player link, and doing so for each of the players found in five successive links, neither Mr. Grissom nor Mr. White is found in any of these lists. This would indicate the inclusion of Mr. Lugo in the trade must mandate a value of "0" be incorporated into the original Grissom-White comparison in order to determine the true trade value, thus cutting in half the original "904" value posted in Mr. Grissom's list to a more accurate "452." The fact that searches for "Kevin Bacon" on this website results in "0 searches found" does not, I believe, reduce the validity of my research. I stand corrected if Mr. Bacon ever appeared in a baseball movie in which it appears he can actually play the game, unlike the Gary Cooper/Lou Gehrig camera tricks or the Anthony Perkins/Jimmy Piersall fiasco.
See now, this is what happens when I have too much free computer time on my hands......

This isn't a trade, but I think it's worth noting: Prior to 1989 season, the LA Dodger's Steve Sax signed as a FA with the NY Yankees as a replacement for Willie Randolph. Randolph also was a FA, and signed with the Dodgers. Randolph was Sax's #1 most similar player and vice versa for the 1989 season.

Why are white kids so disrespectful to their parents and cuss at them?
Everytime I went to my white friend's house when we were kids they were always disrespectful to their parents and would call them names like "bitc*" and "wank3r" all the time. What brought this all back was a documentary I saw last night where these kids were cussing at their parents and slamming doors in their faces...why?Answers:
TTER question would be how kids become disrespectful of their parents. Rephrase and maybe you'll get better answers.
This has absolutely nothing to do with their race. Its obviously just the parents who arent teaching their kids to respect them. Children of all races do the same thing if they have parents who dont discipline.
I have to say if I was disrespectful, my mom would of slapped my face and spanked me also grounded me. I knew better than to disrespect her, she put fear in me. I also loved my mom and respected her as a person as to I wouldn't call or treat her badly. I can't say it's just white children, at least not all. BUt if a child disrespects their parents it's because they do not respect them and the parents have not established authority.
The problem is inproper parenting, not race. If the parents allowed it and/or disrespect each other, then the kids are being shown that it is ok and that is how you treat people.
hmmmmm sounds like they needed my black parents who if they even thought you were thinking bad words you got that a*S*S beat parents need to stop being their kids friends and start being parents and also say F*U* C*K* this law on how to punish your kids and what methods you can use to (spank lol) them its called tear that a*s*s* up and then give them the phone to call 911 and also let them know the number is on speed dial lol
Trust me it's not just white kids
You can blame race if it makes you feel better, but I think more simply, it's how people parent...If you are a parent you must demand a certain amount of respect. You can not allow your children to talk to you, or others in that manner. I have an 11 year old son, so trust me I know a little about talking back, being rude, etc. But my son would never curse at me, and if he does, whoa! He would be intruduced to a new meaning of "being grounded" for sure...
With dicipline and proper parenting, you can decrease (not elliminate) alot of the problems with children... HTH
They called them these names because they were dirty little spoiled English kids. My gf is English, and has all kinds of stories about how her parents beat the crap out of her. I told her she probably deserved every single one of those beatings.
the same reason I see black kids spit in people faces. It is called lack of respect and discipline
I wouldn't make this a "white" issue. I would call it poor parenting.
a parent. I assure you my kids never would get away with doing something like that in my home, nor would any of their friends.
Parents need to set limits on their kids' behavior. Kids need to be taught to show respect. And, yes, kids need to be punished if they act inappropriately.
That's certainly not the norm for white kids! My children are both white and they are wonderful. They are teenagers (one in college, one in high school), and they treat us with respect. In addition, their teachers and their friends' parents have always told us how courteous and polite they are. The key is that we have always treated them with respect and have always explained how far being courteous will carry them in life.
e are plenty of screwed up families of all colors. It's not a white thing.
Regarding TV- it's sensationalism usually. They like ratings. They show the worst of the worst. Maybe what you saw was a valid documentary, but a lot of times TV shows just show what will shock people.
I didn't realize this was a race issue. I have seen kids of all races do this ever since I was a police officer. The kids who don't do this are either:
A) polite and well-mannered by nature.
I am white and I would never have spoken to my parents like that. Likewise, my children don't speak that way to me or my husband. We treat eachother with respect. It is a simple matter of teaching children respect at an early age and by being a good example for them to follow.
Sadly, not everyone should procreate and you witnessed a good reason why.
I don't feel that it is a race issue. A lot of it has to do with the school environment. Kids today are around a entirely different atmosphere. With DSS and other agencies taking away parental rights, parents have no alternatives. Other times, it is that the parents have different parenting styles and the kids know that and use that to cause conflicts between the parents. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NOT TEACHING THEM CORRECTLY.
I am a kid, but it depends on the situation at hand for when you can blame the kids for being disrespectful. The problems come when one side, the kid or parent (s), feels a lack of respect from the other side. This can be the case for a backlash and the kids starting to disrespect the adults. Usually its a lot more than this. Disrespect can be caused by lack of communication, uncooperation in what could start out as calm situations, and other disrespect.
I don't think it is a race thing, I think it goes back to the parenting. I will say though, that white parents do tend to be more relaxed with their parenting, no spanking, and the "letting the kid express himself", where as a black parent is more likely to beat the crap out of the kid for acting up, so they are scared to misbehave around their parents. Blacks and hispanics are all about respect in the world, from their children and from society and will cause a fit if they feel they were "disrespected". The problem is it usually turns into a race issue which is unfortunant.
d abuse is simply that, abuse, but parents failing to properly discipline their children can be nearly as harmful by allowing their children to grow up wildly disrespectful. If a child is never taught to respect his/her parents, then how likely is he/she to respect a boss at work, or laws and the police? It's like the old adage failure to plan is a plan for failure: failure to raise responsible adults is in fact raising irresponsible ones...
Whatever the race, I blame it on the parents. What did the parents of those children do?? Probably nothing. Maybe not always but for the most part, parents are not correcting them. This started as toddlers. Parents are afraid to discipline children. They will say "Honey, don't do that" and that is the end. Smack their hands and rear. I don't say beat, I say smack. Sometimes they might barely feel it but the surprise of the smack does wonders toward discipline. I am of the older generation that believes in pattling. (not beating)
t'What you are witnessing is a deterioration of the American (NA) family. One of the main reasons is that their parents had no proper upbringing. (no morals).How can they set an example to their kids? They drink, smoke and fool around in front of their kids, They show them (the kids) no respect.
So they cant get any respect too.
Also you have to train and mould your kids from small, not when they become teenagers? Finally, many parents don't give quality time to their kids , they use the easy way out, they try to buy their love with toys and material things, which never work.. Too commercialized just like their love.
hahaha you are so funny, and so young you do not realize. most children, no matter what race, cuss and yell at their parents. Your parents have taught you to be racist, break away from the cycle and just call everyone green.
i'm white, and my mom would have beat my @ss if i ever called her anything bad. but i know what you mean. i've noticed it a lot more now-a-days too.
It has nothing to do with race. But I would advise that you read on some of the questions and answers in regards to displine that are on this sight. Look for responses from people like "Beeps" & "Lil Suz" and you will see exactly why children are growing up to disrespect.
I don't think it is a race issue, either. My son goes to school with African-Americans, whites, and Asians. Some are disrespectful, and others are polite. There is no correlation to race.
Now, as a parent, I can tell you what the problem is--- those children who are cursing at their parents are most likely not well-parented. Their parents probably did not discipline them or teach them to be respectful. They just want to be their children's "friend".
I would lose those white friends, and try to find better friends, regardless of their skin color.
My white kids don't act this way.
I'm white and I would have NEVER done such a thing - I also have 3 children and they better NEVER do such a thing!
Black kids and white kids are the same on the inside and are equally as bad. I think the reason they're disrespectful to them is because there parents aren't fair enough and treat them like they are 5, so they are getting back at there parents, but it is HORRIBLE to do.

The "Beat the Call" event leads up to the Phone-A-Thon on Oct. 21-24, which is the PCEF's largest fundraiser of the year. According to Abby McNulty, Executive Director of the PCEF, the class at each school with the highest percentage of participation will receive a pizza party sponsored by Papa John's.
The school with the highest total overall will win a $2,000 grant from Educational Advantage, a local business that conducts tutoring for students in town, she said.
"If we do not hear from parents by the time the Phone-A-Thon rolls around, we give them a call," McNulty said. "We make phone calls in the evening beginning at 6 p.m., and we have 30 volunteer callers every night."
McNulty said that the Montage Deer Valley Resort is working with the PCEF training volunteers on how to help with conversation and answer questions, information that will help a volunteer caller be more comfortable on the phone.
The PCEF is also working with the PTO and PTA at each school by asking them to contribute at least 10 volunteers, she said, and those schools that accomplish that receive 10 percent of the "parent appeal" donations from that school.
"It's a way to cooperate with the PTOs to help provide volunteers for PCEF events," McNulty said. "We can complement each other very nicely instead of competing for donations.
The "parent appeal" is terminology used to describe the funds raised by "Beat the Call" and the Phone-A-Thon, she said. Last year's "parent appeal" raised enough money that the PCEF was able to donate $266,000 in district grants.
"It's our generous parent participation that allows us to make these significant donations that Park City children are really benefitting from," McNulty said.

I have a products, and subproducts.
Product Identifier - Product Name - Subproduct Identifier - SubProduct Name 1 ProA 1 SubProA1 1 ProA 2 SubProA2 1 ProA 3 SubProA3 2 ProB 1 SubProB1 2 ProB 2 SubProB2 2 ProB 3 SubProB3 3 ProC 1 SubProC1 3 ProC 2 SubProC2 3 ProC 3 SubProC3
As you can see, the subproduct identifier is not unique. My input is gonna be the product and the subproduct, and I need to return the names.
I did this:
Table Products: ID, Name
Table SubProducts: IDproduct, IDsubProduct, Name
But I know that is wrong, I wanted to make 3 tables, products, subproducts and a relation between the two, but I don't know how to design it.
If I was to save the product and subproduct into another table, I would have to save both values, that table would have to have the productID and subproductID columns, that's why I feel having a relation product subproduct table would be the best.
But I'm having a hard time doing it.
