In life, as in business, branding is more effective, powerful and sustainable than marketing and sales, and an effective way to best the competition. It's about influencing others, by creating a brand identity that associates certain perceptions and feelings with that identity. Branding isn't just for companies anymore. Successful personal branding entails managing the perceptions effectively and controlling and influencing how others perceive and think of you. In today's instant-message, online, virtual age, a strong personal brand is becoming increasingly essential and is key to personal success. It is fundamental to the positioning strategy behind the world's most successful people. Icons like Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Bill Gates and, most recently, Barack Obama.
Everyone has a personal brand, but most people are not aware of this and do not manage it strategically, consistently or effectively. You should take control of your brand and the message it sends and affects how others perceive you. This will help you to grow in a specific direction and distinguish yourself as an exceptional professional.
Most traditional personal branding concepts focus mainly on personal marketing, image building, selling, outward appearances, promoting oneself, and becoming famous, which can easily veer into an ego trip and lead to perceptions of egocentricity and selfishness. They define personal branding from a personal marketing (selling) point of view.
Personal branding is more than just marketing and promoting yourself. Your personal brand is the synthesis of all the expectations, images, and perceptions it creates in the minds of others, when they see or hear your name. Consider the images which come to mind when we think of some well-known individuals:
- Most people see Oprah Winfrey as powerful and influential, but also warm and caring.
- Tiger Woods is considered an intense competitor and the greatest golfer in the world.
- Bill Gates brings to mind gadgets, geeks, and philanthropy.
- Donald Trump is associated with ego and a decisive ruthlessness.
- Mother Teresa is the epitome of helping the poor, selflessness and saintly behavior.
- Albert Einstein is remembered as a great and gentle genius.
Barack Obama is seen as a man of intelligence, integrity and vision, who is fighting for change. His passion for change is the pillar of his authentic personal brand, and it is the primary theme of many of his speeches. "America is a land of big dreamers and big hopes. . . And it is because our dreamers dreamed that we have emerged from each challenge more united, more prosperous, and more admired than before. . . The true test of the American ideal is whether . . . chance of birth or circumstance decides life's big winners and losers, or whether we build a community where, at the very least, everyone has a chance to work hard, get ahead, and reach their dreams. . . I don't want to settle for anything less than real change, fundamental change – change we need – change that we can believe in. It's change that I've been fighting for for over two decades. Because those dreams – American dreams – are worth fighting for."
Note how many times he references authentic dreams. Barack Obama has succeeded by living according to his dream and doing related work that he loves. It's important to be true to your own dreams and to become the CEO of your personal brand.
The Genius Within You
Anyone can deliver peak performances and be successful in life, because all of us have the genius within us to do so. Success is not something that will come automatically or something that the world will define for you. It's what you define in your ambitious dream (hope) and in the way you pursue this dream. Remember what Marva Collins said: "Success doesn't come to you . . . you go to it." You must have a dream in life, follow your heart and love what you do, if you expect exceptional success. Take the initiative and the responsibility to develop, implement and cultivate your authentic dream, and keep it at the forefront of your mind each day.
Your personal brand should be authentic. Authentic personal branding provides a roadmap for a journey toward a happier and more successful life. Your personal brand should therefore emerge from your search for your identity and meaning in life, and it is about getting very clear on what you want, fixing it in your mind, giving it all your positive energy, doing what you love, and developing yourself continuously. Your personal brand should reflect your true character, and should be built on your values, strengths, uniqueness, and genius. If you are branded in this organic, authentic and holistic way, your personal brand will be strong, clear, and valuable to others. You will also create a life that is fulfilling and you will automatically attract the people and opportunities that are a perfect fit for you.
If you are not branded in any unique way, if you don't deliver according to your brand promise, or if you focus mainly on simply selling and promoting yourself, you could be perceived as egocentric, selfish, and a unique jerk – and branding will be a cosmetic and dirty business.
Love and Respect
Love is an important element in this personal branding equation. It is about loving yourself (self-respect), loving others, and loving what you do. You should love yourself in at least equal measure to others or things. This can be found in most religions: "to love others as you love yourself." Abraham Maslow said, "We can only respect others when we respect ourselves. We can only give, when we give to ourselves. We can only love, when we love ourselves." Without knowing who you are, it's very difficult to love yourself or others. You need to make a positive emotional connection with yourself and find yourself interesting before others can do the same.
An organic, holistic and authentic personal brand will help you unlock your potential and build a trusted image that you can project in everything you do; a brand that is in harmony with your dreams, life purpose, values, passion, specialization and genius.
With an authentic personal brand, your strongest attributes and values can separate you from the crowd. Without it, you look just like everyone else.

NAVHDA NATURAL ABILITY PRIZE I - German Shorthaired Pointer Hunting Dog Pictures
Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer
From: John Voight
Website: http://www.bonasaflats.com
Posted: Aug 22, 2009
Bonasa Flats Boondocks Bandit (Gage) posted a maximum score 112 points, Prize I in the NAVHDA Natural Ability Test on August 22, 2009 at the Kettle Moraine Chapter test held near Lomira, WI. Gage is proudly owned, trained, and handled by Mike Kriefski of Oregon, WI. In late May of this year, Gage suffered a broken front leg during a training session just a week before he was scheduled to take the Natural Ability Test. After emergency orthopedic surgery and 12 weeks of rehabilitation, Gage has rebounded extremely well. Before breaking his leg, Gage also earned 3 legs toward his AKC Junior Hunter title which he will finish later this year. He was whelped April 22, 2008 and is the product of a very nice breeding between VC Neenah Creeks Autumn Boon and Krystal Creeks Ring My Belle SH. Gage is the fifth pup out of his litter to pass the NAVHDA Natural Ability Test this year and the third to post a maximum score. The proud owners of Bonasa Flats Kennels John Voight, Julie Mommaerts and Brian Blanke send heartfelt congratulations to Mike and Gage for their incredible perseverance and their accomplishment in the face of some very tough circumstances! See http://www.kriefski.com for details about Gages injury and recovery. For more information on Bonasa Flats versatile and proven (and TOUGH!) bird dogs, see www.BonasaFlats.com.

What if you could be a superhero? You'd have your own legion of fans, blockbuster movies manufactured to tell of your exploits and conventions designed to showcase your awesomeness.
Well, what if I told you that you could be a superhero - of sorts. You don't need to be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but you do need to accomplish positively superhuman tasks.
I'm aiming for financial independence by 40 years old. You might say this is a bit of a superhuman goal, seeing as how most people at 40 are just entering the peak of their career, staring down another two decades or so of labor as they're hampered by debt and their own lifestyle. Instead of working through my 40s, 50s and 60s I want to focus on activities that bring value to my life - spending time with family, traveling, writing, managing investments and relaxing. You don't need to be Superman to live a truly super life.
Accomplishing financial independence at such a young age isn't easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it. If you want to accomplish financial independence at an early age in life it will help to have a superpower or two. And I'll share with you readers what I believe my own personal superpower is: consistency.
You see, it's easy to understand how to live below your means. It's easy to formulate a long-term plan that involves you saving a significant portion of your income and investing the difference. You can read a couple of books and have that eurekamoment that truly changes your life. I know I did back in early 2010 as I realized that I didn't want to be less than broke forever.
However, while it's easy to understand how to become financially independent at a young age, it's significantly more difficultto actually perform the steps necessary to reach such a lofty goal in a consistent enough manner to make a difference. And that's really where the superheros are separated from those that sit back and watch: consistency in action.
Much like it's relatively easy to know how to lose weight - hint: you must take in less calories than you burn - it's much more difficult to consistently apply the steps necessary whereby you eat food you may not like and exercise.
I realized at 27 years old that I wanted something truly different out of my life. I didn't want the standard 9-5 'till 65 death sentence with the 2,200 square foot house with a 2.2 car garage where I park my three-year-old commuter car that whisks me 40 miles down the road to my job. Early on, it was fun to make the changes. I started this blog shortly after initiating my taxable investment account. I sold my car in early 2011 and decided to live without a car in a city not designed with public transportation in mind. I moved to a cheaper apartment located on the bus line. I cut my food bill dramatically, albeit not necessarily with my long-term health in mind. I started taking all of my excess capital and rapidly built a Freedom Fundinto what is now a six-figure powerhouse of a portfolio filled with equity stakes in 43 high quality companies.
But after all of the excitement of change, something unfortunate tends to creep in: impatience. Once you set a long-term goal that requires years and years of hard work it's easy to get depressed seeing seemingly small steps of progress taking shape when you're looking at things through the lens of day-to-day life. Like the weight loss example I used above, it might be difficult to stick to a long-term weight loss plan if your goal is to lose 50 pounds, but after the initial kick of of changes propels you to a quick 10 pound loss, you're then stuck staring at a scale that barely moves week after week.
But this is where you need your superpower(s) to kick in. And I was born with an incredible sense of determination once I put my mind to something. I try to take consistency to another level because I believe that it's pretty much my only advantage. I didn't start this journey off with a bunch of money, but rather I was worth less at 27 than I was as a baby. The only major financial help I got in my early 20s was completely blown during a stretch of time in my life when I dealt with the death of my mother, the once-more disappearance of my father and a failed college career. I don't have any other advantages over anyone else - I certainly don't make a big six-figure income, I wasn't born with incredibly good looks and my intelligence is average. So consistency is my lone superpower. And I leverage it as much as I possibly can.
And after all of those initial dramatic and exciting changes in my life, I'm here in the thick of the day-to-day battles as I fight my way out of the cave and toward freedom. And how am I doing? Well, I'm still saving well over half my net income, and I'm on pace (barely) to meet my 2013 net savings goal of 60%. This would be my highest annual savings rate ever. It might be easy to stop saving so much and buy cool stuff. Hell, I could go out and buy a brand new Scion FR-S and still have six figures in the bank. Yet, instead I recently purchased a gold 2006 Toyota Corolla - and this was an upgrade for me; an upgrade I made only because the price was too cheap to ignore. I'm still investing as much of my excess free cash flow as I possibly can as I continue to maximize the value of my capital by investing in high quality companies at attractive prices. In fact, I just recently posted the 60th stock purchase article here on Dividend Mantra.
The great thing is that consistency isn't some proprietary skill. I don't have a patent on it. You can exude even more determination than I do if you really want to. You can be your own superhero. And while you may not have movies made about you, you'll one day have the time and resources available to make your own if you have such an interest. Don't get lost in your own journey, and don't let early victories cloud your judgement. Be true to who you are and what you really want out of life. Attaining financial independence isn't easy, and it won't happen overnight. It's easy to quit because success is still so far down the road. But remember why you started walking the path in the first place. Do you want freedom or do you want someone else to own your time?
Consistency is my superpower. What's yours?

Consistency Is My Superpower
What if you could be a superhero? You'd have your own legion of fans, blockbuster movies manufactured to tell of your exploits and conventions designed to showcase your awesomeness.

I would just talk to your kids about the whole santa thing,and remind them that it is a pretend activity many families play with young children,but your family does not. I find it rather sad that some feel the holidays can not be *special* without the lie of santa. I wonder how the kids at my childrens school feel;the kids who do not celebrate something during December.
My ds was recently put on the spot at his school because the majority of kids(6-9) are santa believers,and they could not get over the fact that my ds was not.They told him santa would die if he did not believe in him.Told him santa IS real because the teachers believe in santa. Lol, I even had a mom call and complain to me,and the principal pull me aside and BOTH say I needed to talk to ds,because his non-believing was causing issues for the other kids.Essentially ds was *ruinning* christmas for other little kids by not believing. LOL. I don't see why parents did not talk to THEIR kids and tell them some kids don't celebrate the holidays with a visit from santa.No,unfortunately it is up to me and my kids to preserve the myth for others regardless of what we celebrate.
I would get the doll if you think she really wants it,and put another gift away for a birthday.I was going to say the inlaws should buy it,but that will just keep this santa issue going,and that is not want you want. The holidays can be special without all the pretending. I would be making sure the kids knew mom and dad bought the gifts not santa,but no need to do that on christmas day.My kiddos asked for a few things,and I told them I would buy what I can.They know our funds are limited.
I would probably have a talk with the inlaws too(privately) and remind them that santa is not done in your home.Skip the santa mall visits too.

Yemen Troops Could Lose Control of Key Southern City
Says Interior Ministry Didn't Keep Promises of Support
The city council leader from Yemen's Abyan Provincial capital city Zinjibar, a city which was under the control of the Ansar al-Sharia for over a year before Yemeni troops eventually reconquered it, is warning that Yemen's control might not last.
"Security is still week. The ministry didn't provide anything. The Minister of Interior did not keep his promises nor his obligations," noted council head Kasim Muhammed Hadi, saying that the situation is deteriorating and al-Qaeda could easily retake the city.
According to Hadi, the entire provincial security force right now is 30 men and only half of them actually have guns. He said he believes the militants have left primarily to avoid US drone strikes, not to avoid fighting the security forces.
The Abyan Province isn't of much value itself, but its proximity to Aden makes it strategically important, and Ansar al-Sharia's year of holding Zinjibar adds symbolic value to the city.

Belarus' Su-27 fighter jets will probably be retired, defense minister say
The Belarusian army will probably retire its Su-27 fighter jets from service, Defense Minister Yury Zhadobin told reporters in Minsk on Tuesday.
No formal decision to this effect has yet been made, Mr. Zhadobin said.
The defense ministry's press office reported this past December that the 14 Soviet-built warplanes would be retired, and that the Air and Air Defense Force had already stopped flying them because they had been in service for more than 25 years and were no longer safe.
All Su-24 bombers have already been retired because they were completely worn out and because Belarus does not need attack weapons, Mr. Zhadobin said.
Belarus' MiG-29 fighters and Su-25 ground attack planes are currently upgraded in close cooperation with Russian aircraft manufacturers, he said. "These planes have a very large potential," he said.
Helicopters will be retired as they reach the end of their useful life and become impossible to upgrade, but an exception will be made for Mi-24s and Mi-8s, "soldiers" of the Belarusian army, Mr. Zhadobin said.
As for military transport aircraft, Il-76s and some other planes will remain in service, he said. //BelaPAN

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

meh... after thinking, kind of a dumb idea
In reply to aut0maticdan • Mar 4, 2014
The low noise 12/16/24mp output would probably only be beneficial if you could combine photosites at the hardware level and likely would require a specially designed sensor. Way out of my depth there.
Any processing after the fact is better off done in post. Assuming you have a good scaling algorithm when printing or downsizing for the web, you should see just as much noise reduction as you would with in-camera downsizing. You also have a plethora of software at your disposal and the full raw 36mp for any future software that may come out. I may spend a little time comparing different noise reduction and scaling algorithms to hash this out. I'd like me some usable ISO12800 out of my D800.

Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
That is pretty interesting.
I had thought he was signed.
Wht team was his last NRI with?
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
First AAA appearance:
2/3 IP, 1 hit....2 K's, 4BB... 2ER
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
He'll fit right in with the Cubs' bullpen pitchers
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Has anybody read about whether the media asked Sveum after yesterday's game about his peculiar decision to have Castro bunt?
EDIT: Never mind. I see there is an article up now on the trib site.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Soriano's RISP numbers are actually pretty good so far.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Incredible- Last year the team was so anemic you couldn't hope for a clawback win like this.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse

Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
ROB G: Greenville (South Atlantic League) is the Red Sox Low-A affiliate (like Peoria).
Salem (Carolina League) is their Hi-A club.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
at least someone isn't drinking the mark appel koolaid.
he's top-5 good...but overblown as a #1 overall pick, imo.
nice to see zunino get some love at #2...if the cubs had the #1 overall pick i'd be looking at him even with the need for pitching.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Chicago Cubs
Albert Almora, CF, Mater Academy Charter (Hialeh Gardens, Fla.)
The Cubs also have their eyes California prep lefty Fried and Puerto Rico's Correa. Almora, who has an advanced feel for hitting and good range in center, is the likely favorite here.

Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Making your best pitcher lose a game for your team is a pretty good prank.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
See? It could be worse...
From Yahoo:
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly apparently values speed at the top of the order more than on-base skills. "Dropping Dee in the order sounds really easy," said Mattingly. "But then who do you want me to hit there?" Mattingly dismissed both Mark Ellis and A.J. Ellis as options, even though both have an OBP over .400. Mattingly did allow that when Tony Gwynn Jr. and Gordon are in the lineup, he'd be willing to put Gwynn ahead of Gordon.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
I have to say, I'm getting a bit perturbed by Castro's meager development. I know he's only 22 but after two full seasons in the majors the evolution seems pretty glacial. He's almost dead last in pitches seen per plate appearance in the NL, and the 4 BBs is terrible. The power numbers are static, and that brain-freeze last night on the bunt was inexcusable. Last year Castro both looked better and performed better when leading off. I think he focused more and really did make a solid attempt to work the count and get on base. With LaHair losing out on RBI opportunities, I would really prefer to see Castro move back up into the lead-off role. Bat Campana second and then LaHair third so he has more at bats. Not going to happen I know, but the structure of this line-up really feels like it is hurting the two best hitters on the team for no good reason.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
From a purely observational standpoint I would agree, but last year his numbers were much worse hitting third. This year he's hitting well, so I don't think his place in the order has any bearing on his performance. Maybe he's trying to be more aggressive in potential RBI situations, but he'll figure that out eventually. He's still the best hitter on the team and they actually have a good OBP guy in DeJesus in front of him now, so there appears to be a semblance of a plan.

...and the Bryant RBI jinx continues in the 3rd....crap.
bryant's in the dugout filling a police report BECAUSE HE JUST GOT ROBBED.
f'n cabrerra...
chapman showing up and available tomorrow night.
i'm sure he'll be a bit hit. hope he doesn't choke. dude has a rifle for an arm. he'll add a bit of punch to the bullpen.
the 'crosstown classic' sure has lost it's magic with interleague. the excitement level is barely noticable...maybe it's a bit more hype in the city, itself.
Well he didn't leave a mark so its not that bad.
Fuck that.
He choked her.
Her brother tackled him to separate him.
He cooled off by shooting his gun in the garage.
I don't have to like him on the team I follow.
And you are others are free to not give a shit about his personal misgivings if you so choose as well.
Sure, no marks and some inconsistencies in the witness's statements. But firing your gun into garage wall immediately after an argument and punching out your car window is still threatening and out of control behavior. There was certainly enough for MLB to think it warranted a 30-game suspension.
I'd prefer they be flexible with the closing situation depending on matchups. You're not really adding a lefty reliever if you use him strictly as a closer.
Stockpiling young talent isn't only for trading for someone like Chapman though. Even with an elite closer winning the World Series is basically a crap shoot so the key is to get to the playoffs as much as possible and not just mortgage everything on one year. Once you get there an elite bullpen certainly helps but the playoffs can be won by one hitter or starting pitcher getting hot (Murphy, Molina, Baumgardner) and a closer might not be able to stop that.
I'm also not crazy about press convictions. As the police report noted, there were no marks on the lady in question. There's a TMZ link (of course) to her police pictures, as well.
I think the only way this trade goes real bad is if Cubbery intervenes and Chapman is suddenly bad for some reason.
I am right there with you closing in on 60.
I don't care that much about "mortgaging" one player who is not only blocked by two guys, but is not ready to hit the majors for at least a couple years.
There is no reason why this team, this year, can't have a real shot at something NONE of us have experienced.
Further, I don't feel that even if they fall short that they have ruined their farm system.
I have made my opinion clear here, with others, Warren was shit on the Cubs save one spot start.
Trading for Warren, Warren sucking, getting Warren back for Chapman plus 3 prospects, sounds like Revenge of The Yankees on the former Boston executive. Old rivalries never die.
I pray to the heavens above Chapman doesn't suck for some reason, or he'll be booed out of town faster than a Todd Hundley revival meeting.
I'm kind of nostalgic for the Schwarber-for-Miller rumors.
This offseason, after some ridiculous playoff run and Chapman saving every game from here until the end of the postseason striking out 27/9innings, I welcome anyone to quote this thread and call me a dummy: I hate this trade, and my hate is 2 parts Chapman makes this team less likeable and 1 part that's a ridiculous overpay for 30 regular season innings and, at tops, 10 postseason innings. Already hoping they don't extend him.
btw...Thanks AZ Phil. I'm really enjoying your take on this trade.
I'm a bit disappointed on the Warren experience. Essentially they gave Castro away for crickets (OK, well they signed Zobrist with the Castro salary dump). Otherwise one might look at it as Chapman for Castro and our #1 minors prospect (Torres) + McKinney/Crawford. Seems pricey for a 2 month rental. We will see if this price tag is that steep in a relative way based on the remaining deadline deals for relievers.
Yep. One of the great things about this team (in addition to being really good at baseball) was the "likable" factor. Feels a bit different now. Who knows...maybe Chapman will be the king of the dance parties.

What the Senate Gets Wrong About Ukraine
Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reminded us this week why no one wants Congress to run foreign policy. Both Democrats and Republicans lit into Victoria Nuland, the State Department's top official for Ukraine policy, berating her for the administration's failure to impose new sanctions on Russia.
The senators were right about one thing: The U.S. has repeatedly threatened tough new measures, only to back off when it could not persuade European governments to pull the trigger. But the result has not been what you'd expect—or what the committee was so fired up about. In Ukraine, the good guys are energized and confident; the bad guys are in retreat; Russian public opinion is newly hostile to the idea of military involvement; and Russian President Vladimir Putin seems confused about what to do next.
This is a new strategic environment, and it calls for a little recalibration. Yes, it's crucial that Moscow continue to worry about sanctions if it keeps aiding–or even allowing aid to reach–separatist groups in eastern Ukraine. (That's why President Petro Poroshenko's national security adviser, Andriy Parubiy, has urged the European Union to impose new measures when it meets on July 16.) Even so, the real test of good American policy will be what it has been since the crisis erupted: whether it can help Ukraine to succeed.

- How a U.K. Labour Party Meltdown Could Play Out in Wake of Brexit Vote
- Among High-Growth Firms, Reason for Optimism on Startups. (Really.)
In coming weeks, that will mean everything from emergency humanitarian relief (so cities and towns held hostage by the separatists quickly see a difference when Kiev regains control) to economic support (so Ukraine can weather the impact of reforms—and Putin's trade war) and energy cooperation (Russia is still blocking gas supplies to Ukraine). It also means opening up the possibility of military assistance (that is, we have to stop saying that the Ukrainian army can't make effective use of our help). It will even mean some careful political pressure: Ukraine needs a new parliament as well as a new president.
None of this should be taken for granted. It's where senators–in their relentless way–should really demand that the administration deliver.
