Helen Flanagan had a meltdown yesterday BEFORE she entered the jungle for I'm A Celebrity .
The ex-Corrie actress, 22, seemed shocked to find a crowd waiting to greet her at Brisbane airport .
She threw a mini-strop, refusing to speak to fans or reporters as a chaperone and minder waited to drive her to the show's five-star hotel.
She told the chaperone: "I've just got off a two-day flight and I've got people coming towards me. This is irritating.
"I hate flying. They put me on a two-day flight and I can't handle it."
She refused to smile for pictures and stormed off to her car – only to be infuriated to find the door locked.
Once inside she started texting, then got out to smoke a cigarette before the 50-mile journey.
The usually glamorous star, who has embraced a WAG lifestyle with footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, since she quit her Corrie role as Rosie Webster, was dressed down in a T-shirt and leather jacket with her short blonde hair in an untidy bun.
One onlooker said: "She doesnt seem to realise what she's let herself in for."
Helen has been working to get into shape for the show . It's thought she will show off her curves in sexy bikinis .
Ex-Birds of a Feather actress Linda Robson was the first celeb to arrive at Brisbane airport .
And pictures of under fire Tory MP Nadine Dorries turning up in Oz also surfaced yesterday .
Also believed to be taking part in the 2012 instalment of I'm a Celeb are former EastEnder Charlie Brooks, former heavyweight boxer David Haye, the sixth Dr Who Colin Baker, Pussycat Dolls dancer Ashley Roberts, celeb cook Rosemary Shrager, legendary darts player Eric Bristow and comic Brian Conley.
Hollywood action star and WWE wrestler The Rock has also been linked with the show but he has dismissed speculation as being "garbage" on Twitter.
I'm a Celebrity 2012 begins on Sunday November 11 with a 95 minute opening episode following the X Factor.

text: I found a 2013RT w/9100 miles at a Indian dealership. They don't know anything about the bike as far as what options it has. I was able to determine it has the radio and it has the multi-controller wheel on the left handgrip. $14,000.0 and the bike has many other farkles like the rider backrest, akropovic pipe, small driving lights on the front forks, Givi trunk, valve cover guards and chrome saddlebag crash bars. Any thing I need to look for? I was able to putt around the parking lot because I didn't have my riding gear and the front end seems like it pulls to one side. Max's BMW in CT. sold the bike and did the 600 mi. checkup and the bike is warrantied until Feb., 2016. I currently ride a 2000 RT1100.

36 year old woman | Mount Holly, NJ, United States | Seeking men 31-43 within 30 miles
I'm a geeky girl with smartass tendencies.
I like gaming with friends, usually boardgames or tabletop RPGs, though I do like the occasional video game. I like to bake and cook, but rarely do it just for myself. I'd like to find someone that has a fun attitude and enjoys getting out, but can be just as happy staying in for the night. I admit, I'm not working too hard in the romance department, I'd rather be single and hang out with friends than jump blindly into a relationship with someone and not have time for my friends and family. I am traveling often, either down to Virginia where my family lives and I'm originally from, or making the most of an open weekend and visiting breweries, wineries, or just some place I haven't been. My family is important to me, and as my parents and grandmother get older, I'm trying to make sure that I can spend some quality time with them.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Soccer, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish
New to the area, but I joined a meetup group and have been playing boardgames at the Cherry Hill Wegman's. Closer to where I live, I go to John & Molly's, or similar bar/restaurants in the area.
Love science fiction and fantasy, both reading and watching. I love playing tabletop RPGs such as Pathfinder or Shadow Run as well as boardgames such as Settlers of Catan or Cards Against Humanity.
The Vampire Academy series, before it comes out in theaters.

Recalled Product Information
Please note: Pet Age, PIJAC and Cox Media issued false information on July 25 stating we recalled over the July 23rd weekend. This is not true. No Rad Cat was recalled in July!!
We produce the highest quality, holistic, natural diets that cater to the obligate carnivore. Even though domesticated cats no longer need to hunt as their ancestors have, their digestive systems remain unchanged. We believe feeding a raw diet closely mirrors what cats would naturally eat in the wild, contributing to true health and vitality.
Cats are healthiest and happiest on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. As grains have proven to be an allergen for many cats, we decided not to include them in our recipes. This simple philosophy provides a broad range of health benefits including: natural weight control, healthy skin and coat, and naturally clean teeth. Staying true to the most natural, evolutionary feline diet, we add no fruits or vegetables to our products. Our main ingredients are meats - muscle and organs - which are incredibly appealing to cats' natural, carnivorous instincts.
We believe in keeping our products simple and basic, therefore we do not mix species within a variety. For cats, simple is better – and they love it! We make Rad Cat Raw Diet as close as possible to the diet that nature intended for our domestic feline carnivores.
Help your cats experience true health and increased vitality by giving them food they were meant to eat. Experience the incredible results that feeding your cats a raw diet can bring.
You'll be amazed and your cats will thank you!
Currently available in five varieties: Free-Range Chicken, Free-RangeTurkey and Pasture-Raised Lamb, Grass-Fed Beef, Pasture-Raised Venison
Sold frozen in 8oz, 16oz and 24oz sizes.
Rad Cat ® Raw Diet is a premium, all-natural, complete, and balanced raw diet formulated exclusively for the domestic feline carnivore. We produce the original grain and vegetable-free, whole food diets for cats. All of our complete and balanced raw diets meet and exceed AAFCO guidelines for all life stages of a cats life.
Please see information about our HPP process under our Education tab and read our letter to consumers and retailers. This discusses our reasoning behind this decision and our education tab discusses many common myths about the HPP process and meat products.
This will only affect the chicken and turkey varieties and the change is very minimal in appearance. The flavor, however, has been enhanced! I didn't think it was possible for Rad Cat to taste better, but kitties LOVE the chicken and turkey even more!

*Update – this has sold out already. Last time we saw a good deal on TP it came back a few days later, so we'll keep our eyes out and post it on FB and here as soon as it happens (crossing my fingers!!)
It has be AGES since we have seen a sweet deal on TP from Amazon. Another reason it is so important to stock up on killer deals when they come around. Thankfully I still have a good stockpile of TP from the last round of deals….but if you are looking for a great deal, Amazon finally has one.
Right now Amazon has Angel Soft Bath Tissue Double Roll, White, 18 Count for $8.51 with Subscribe & Save. That comes to $.23 a regular roll which is a great price, especially if you like Angel Soft.
Hurry, because Amazon's prices can change at any time. If you need more info on Subscribe & Save or any other info on Amazon, check out our Understanding Amazon post.

2008 Republicans Fleeing YouTube Debate?
posted by July 27 at 9:10 AMon
The GOP was supposed to have a CNN/YouTube debate of its own in the near future, but Giuliani has bailed out and it looks like others might as well. Only John McCain and Ron Paul have agreed to actually show up. Two theories, from TPM readers, about why a YouTube debate might be so worrisome for some Republicans:
You realize why Rudy doesn't like the YouTube debate format, right? He doesn't want the NY fire fighter's to get a clean shot at him on national TV. Maybe Newt was right. Maybe pygmies is the perfect word…
One of the thoughts that occurred to me with regards to the Democratic Youtube debate was how weird the questions for the GOP candidates could potentially be. For the Democratic debates, most of the issues that are on the table are pretty mainstream, like healthcare and Iraq and poverty and global warming, and thus its pretty difficult for the standard rank-and-file member of the democratic base to ask them in an amusing viral format like Youtube and still come out as looking too bizarre (unless they happen to be a talking snowman). As far as issues like illegal immigration and "coercive interrogation techniques" go, how does one ask questions like this in a Youtube format in an amusing way? The differences between the GOP base and the political mainstream can seem less extreme when asked by someone like Wolf Blitzer, but if presented from the standard GOP rank-and-file member of the base, it seemed like a great way to show how unhinged the GOP has become on some of these issues. Personally, I'm surprised the GOP ever got close to agreeing to this format, and once the Democratic debate happened and showed the format in action, I didn't see how it could have been pulled off by the GOP.

I am trying to add a new application to my developer profile. However, when I upload the apk, after I click on the "Save APK" button, I get the error: "An unexpected error has occured. java.lang.NullPointerException undefined". The app is appearing on my developer page now, but with an "Upload APK" button. Clicking this and going through the upload process again gives the same error. I tried clicking the "Remove app from developer profile" button, which is also displayed, but nothing seems to happen.

Washington Post, Guardian Win Pulitzers for NSA Reporting
The Washington Post and the Guardian won Pulitzer Prizes for public service for their coverage of the surveillance tactics of the U.S. National Security Agency.
The Post, acquired last year by Amazon.com Inc. Chairman Jeff Bezos, also won for explanatory reporting. The New York Times garnered two awards, both for photography, while the Boston Globe got the prize for breaking-news reporting for its coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Using classified information provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the Post and the Guardian reported that the agency had collected data on U.S. residents' phone calls and foreign nationals' Internet activity. The revelations hurt U.S. relations with allies such as Germany and led President Barack Obama to propose limits to global surveillance.
The 98th annual Pulitzer Prizes for excellence in reporting and the arts were announced today by Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in New York.
Reuters, the news outlet owned by Thomson Reuters Corp., won the prize for international reporting for its coverage of the persecution of a Muslim minority community in Myanmar. While the company has won for photography, it was the first prize it has received for written reporting.
The Center for Public Integrity won for investigative reporting, looking into how coal miners with black lung disease struggled to get benefits.
Feature Finalists
A committee of editors, publishers, writers and educators voted on the winners in 21 categories of journalism, books, drama and music. Winners in all categories except public service receive a $10,000 cash award. The public-service prize, awarded to a news organization, is a gold medal.
For the first time in a decade, the Pulitzer jury decided not to give out an award for feature writing. Finalists this year included Scott Farwell of the Dallas Morning News, for a story about a woman's struggle to live a normal life after years of abuse as a child; Christopher Goffard of the Los Angeles Times, who chronicled the nine-day killing spree of former police officer Christopher Dorner; and Mark Johnson, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter who followed first-year medical students as they bonded with each other and a corpse in an anatomy class.
Including 2004, when no award was given for feature writing, Pulitzer juries have withheld a prize 63 times in the history of the awards, said Sig Gissler, administrator of the prizes. It happens when no finalist can muster a majority vote, he said.
Below is a table of 2014 Pulitzer Prize winners.
PUBLIC SERVICE The Washington Post for its investigation of secret surveillance by the National Security Agency, and the Guardian US for its reporting on NSA surveillance.
BREAKING NEWS REPORTING The Boston Globe staff for its coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings and the manhunt that followed.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING Chris Hamby of the Center for Public Integrity, Washington, D.C., for reports on how lawyers and doctors rigged a system to deny benefits to coal miners with black lung disease.
EXPLANATORY REPORTING Eli Saslow of The Washington Post for reports on food stamps in post-recession America.
LOCAL REPORTING Will Hobson and Michael LaForgia of the Tampa Bay Times for reporting on housing conditions of the city's homeless population.
NATIONAL REPORTING David Philipps of the Gazette, Colorado Springs, Colorado, for reports on the mistreatment of wounded combat veterans.
INTERNATIONAL REPORTING Jason Szep and Andrew R.C. Marshall of Reuters for stories on the violent persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar.
COMMENTARY Stephen Henderson of the Detroit Free Press for columns on the financial crisis in Detroit.
CRITICISM Inga Saffron of The Philadelphia Inquirer for architecture criticism.

The Arrival by TexMansonWatch
©2010-2016 TexManson
At a glance, this looks very much like an Earth, Wind & Fire album cover, of the like painted by Shusei Nagaoka in the '70s. Beautiful colors, and you're absolutely right - it really does look like a spaceship landing! Really beautiful .
I really love the lighting in this, you always get it just spot on ..and the curves are sublime
shocking scene
Fantastic work!
Your use of hot colors really makes the pic stand out. Very vibrant and attractive. I don't know about spaceship landings, but this certainly does look like it belongs in a cool science-fiction piece.
Marvelous job!
Very cool, Tex..
Very amazing Tex! This goes into my 'Expert' folder
Amazing piece Tex!!!!!
Beautiful fusion of colors and I love the design too!
Beautiful my dear!! I love it!!
Excellent! Nice, organic feel and beautifully colored... metaballs?
reflection...kinda looks like metaballs though...Thanks Bro!
So gorgeous! You never fail to amaze me!
i hoped you could tell that i was fooling around with your TRG...mine looked simular when the camera was above the movement...so i moved the camera below the movement...i didn't want to be too obvious...TGR Final, wow thats a cool piece
Excellent piece Tex!
Awesome Bro!

Symmetric noncausal auto-regressive signals (SNARS) arise in several, mostly spatial, signal processing applications. We introduce a subspace fitting approach for parameter estimation of SNARS from noise-corrupted measurements. We show that the subspaces associated with a Hankel matrix built from the data covariances contain enough information to determine the signal parameters in a consistent manner. Based on this result, we propose a multiple signal classification (MUSIC)-like methodology for parameter estimation of SNARS. Compared with the methods previously proposed for SNARS parameter estimation, our SNARS-MUSIC approach is expected to possess a better tradeoff between computational and statistical performances

The Zelda For Eternity is Zelda Eternity's annual live stream marathon that takes place toward the end of each summer where we play games in The Legend of Zelda series. The focus of this marathon is to both support a good cause (which currently is Child's Play Charity as of the third marathon) and celebrate the loyal community that makes up this website. Even in the most inactive of times, Zelda Eternity will do its best to continue this tradition on for as long as it can. This page is dedicated to holding a collection of the history and memories of past marathons.
Zelda For Eternity
The history of the very first marathon as told by SpaghettiWeegee:
"Lemme tell ya what happened.
Anyway, we started the marathon at noon and the audience largely showed up because Zelda Dungeon posted about it.
We finished LoZ in about 4 hours and AoL in about 5, bringing us into the night with ALttP, which Richard ended up staying up all night playing, and we didn't finish it until like 9 the next morning.
Then Richard started LA and ALMOST ended the marathon right there out of sheer exhaustion and raw unbridled fury.
But he didn't, so we were cool.
And after that happened, our legendary run of OoT began.
It started out okay, but what took us so long was getting HOPELESSLY LOST in the Forest Temple and taking about 5 hours in the Water Temple.
We finished that 24 hours after LA, at which point Mike took over and played MM for 8 hours through the night and was bestowed with the prestigious title of Majora's Mask Master.
We reconvened the next day with Oracle of Ages, which we didn't finish on account of save data corruption, and Oracle of Seasons, which took us until 10 that night. There I did something heroic and trollish and finished the game for Richard when he was once again too exhausted to go on. I'd never played OoS before.
Then we began The Wind Waker, by far our BEST game.
As it took a mere 15 hours.
We raced Shank and he was 7 minutes ahead.
By about
halfway through.
Anyway, we finished TWW around noon the following day and had to end it there, without TMC or TP.
But we did play SSBB.
Starting another tradition.
And that's the story.
Following the marathon..
After Ganon was defeated for the 4th time that week, Zelda for Eternity's maiden voyage came to an end, and with it, an aftermath that many would remember as Zelda Eternity's first Golden Age. The day following the finale, at approximately 1:00 in the morning (EST), Mike and the rest of the ZE gang launched ZE's main social hub and discussion center, the Zelda Eternity Forums. For the first few months of their existence, the forums were exploding with activity, with dozens of members signing up and posting all over the place. After the initial hubub of the original marathon died down, the forums settled into a casual, if sometimes quiet place for the Zelda Eternity community to communicate, compete, show off, or just chill out. Many from the original marathon, viewers and streamers included, have since become mainstays in the Zelda Eternity community, and some have even become (and subsequently quit from the) Zelda Eternity staff. You could say the original marathon gave ZE a foundation, and made it and its community into what it is today. However, the original ZE marathon was not without significant technical issues-- as anyone who was there will tell you, the stream suffered from frequent off-airs, and the small, local team that hosted it suffered from exhaustion and copious amounts of teen angst by the time it was over."

The second marathon was originally set to only feature the previous streamers the community came to know and love. However, with the Zelda World merge taking place around the same time of the finalization of the marathon, new players were added. Skermefaten, who came on board as the other webmaster after the merge, and DodongoBomber, who was also staff at Zelda World, joined the others to participate in the stream.
The marathon began on August 1st, 2011, and went on for 132 hours. Unfortunately not everything went according to plan. Early on in the stream the two main streamers were out of the event. With the support of ZE's great community, however, we were able to cover all the games that needed to be covered. All the players who participated in the marathon are as follows:
Richard (LoZ, Link's Awakening)
Garrett (Zelda II, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages)
Skermefaten (Ocarina of Time)
Reagan (Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess)
Falcool (The Minish Cap, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess)
Elias (The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess)

The third annual marathon took place from August 3rd, 2012 to August 9th, 2012, for a total of 130 hours. In the span of those several days, ZE raised $200 for Child's Play Charity.
This marathon's planning began many months early, mostly organized by Reagan (DodongoBomber) and Emhave. With theirs and everyone else's hard work, the site was able to put together a great plan for the third summer marathon. However, as it seems to be with any marathon, obstacles appeared during the stream and players were unable to participate. The schedule of the marathon, after many edits and moving around of games, ended up to be as follows:
1 - Twilight Princess - Reagan - August 3rd to 4th, 4 PM to 9 AM)
2 - Oracle of Seasons - Mike - August 4th, 9 AM to 4 PM + before MM
3 - The Legend of Zelda - Emhave - August 4th, 4 PM to 7 PM
4 - A Link to the Past - Emhave - August 4th, 7 PM to 10 PM
5 - The Wind Waker - Shank, Elias - August 4th to 5th, 10 PM to 5 PM
6 - The Minish Cap - SpaghettiWeegee and Lenyomaniac - August 5th to 6th, 5 PM to 6 AM
7 - Ocarina of Time (with side-quests) - Skermefaten - August 6th, 6 AM to 7 PM
8 - Zelda II: Adventure of Link - Emhave - August 6th, 7 PM to 12 AM
9 - Link's Awakening - Emhave - August 6th to 7th, 12 AM to 9 AM
10 - Oracle of Ages - Emhave - August 7th, 9 AM to 5 PM
11 - Majora's Mask (100%) - Mike - August 7th to 8th, 7 PM to 9 AM
12 - Skyward Sword - Emhave - August 8th to 9th, 10 AM to 12 AM
(13 hours because it was interrupted by donation events)
13 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl Online Matches - Skermefaten, Rupee, Emhave - August 9th, 12 AM to 2 AM
The following greatly helped in the planning and/or playing of the stream:
- Emhave
- Reagan (DodongoBomber)
- Skermefaten
- Mike (hammerbromike)
- Garrett (SpaghettiWeegee)
- Danny (lenyomaniac) and co.
- Skalla
- GuitarShank
- Elias
This marathon was advertised by many fellow sites, including Zelda Dungeon, Hidden Triforce, Zelda Universe, Metroid HQ, and Nintendo Castle. As well as Game-Streams, which embedded the stream/chat on their main page.

Millennials Love To Share On Social Media
July 18, 2016
I've been asked to pitch ideas for a brand new online magazine that will launch soon. Their target audience: millennials, young adults between ages 18 and 34.
According to Entrepreneur Magazine writer Sujan Patel, these millennials are diverse. "Nearly 43 percent are non-white and roughly 25 percent speak a language other than English at home," writes Patel. "A good deal of millennials have never known a world without the Internet and social media."
But what they do know is how to buy, collectively they wield $1.3 trillion in annual buying power. A stat that captured my interest is roughly 95 percent of millennials say friends are the most credible source of product information. So if you want to sell something to a millennial, you might want to plant the seed in their friend's ear, then allow them to spread the word.
The online magazine that asked me to pitch ideas created a target audience analysis of the millennial sector, and I believe their research hits the mark. Genius. My favorite description: While they may not be directly seeking an "Ah-Ha" moment, they appreciate those experiences when they occur and are quick to share what they learned, enjoyed, or found entertaining with their social network.
Yes. Again with the social sharing. I get it. Of course, as a social media strategist, that's what I thrive on too. I want to share all the great stuff I discover online.
Next step: select from a list of 25 categories the online magazine has generated that resonates with millennials. I'm leaning toward adventure junkies, or travelers—something that will support lots of stunning photographs, a shareable story. YOLO anyone?
How May I Serve You?
August 12, 2015
I've been reading new-age guru Dr. Wayne Dyer's book on "Living the Wisdom of the Tao." When it comes to prolific and profitable writers, Dyer is at the top of the heap. In this book, properly titled "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life," Dyer writes one essay reflecting his own personal thoughts on each of the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching authored by the Chinese sage Lao-tzu nearly 2,000 years ago. The Tao or "The Way" is a book of wisdom that's been translated more than any volume in the world, with the exception of the Bible.
My friend Hannah found Dyer's book at a thrift shop and probably paid one dollar for this gem, written in 2009, and gave it to me as a gift. I'm grateful. After thumbing through the preface one morning with a cup of coffee in my hand and the gentle morning sun peeking through the mini blinds of my Mountain View apartment, I wondered to myself how long it would take me to read the entire book. I ran the numbers in my head: four chapters a week would allow for reflection and integration, divided by 81 chapters would equal roughly five months. And so I began the self-study course on Living the Wisdom of the Tao.
"Living Contentment" is this morning's reflection. I'm enchanted with the Tao-centered question Lao-tzu says will lead us to a life of contentment. "How May I Serve?"
This question shifted the possibility of engaging in the business world with greater intention for me. Just this week I redesigned my website at www.ingridhart.com to reflect more of who I truly am: business writer and project manager. The user interface design on the website is stripped down to capture the essence of simplicity, catering to the visitor who sees themselves immediately in the images and text. I followed the "Don't Make Think" philosophy of web guru Steve Krug.
The website displays a You, Me, Our Journey content that is simple and direct. It features a nautical theme: sailor, compass, boat, and lighthouse. You seek someone to write proposals, social media posts, press releases, newsletters, and reports; I'm a writer and project manager with over 20 years of experience in business communications; We collaborate on a winning strategy, create measureable results, and watch your business grow.
As a business owner for over 23 years, I'm always asking "How may I serve?" Because I want to support people, maybe you, or someone you know, on their projects. The only way I know how to do this is by using my marketable skills as a business writer and project manager. Business, I believe, is about building and then maintaining relationships. At the core of it, people want to be connected to one another and making the world a better place. I believe that's the true spirit behind Living the Wisdom of the Tao—working together for the greater good of humanity.
Proposal Writing: Lessons Learned
July 24, 2015
I just completed a proposal writing engagement for a global gaming company in the Silicon Valley. This wild and wooly six-week gig facilitating a team of 11 professionals including engineers, marketing and sales, and the C-suite, inspired me to reflect on the art of persuasive writing and the magic of collaboration. Here are some lessons learned from my experience.
Assign one proposal manager and then empower that person
A full-length proposal in response to an RFP holds myriad moving parts including production schedule, pricing, formatting, tables and graphs, table of contents, and an executive summary. As the coordinator, I was tasked with keeping all parts of the proposal moving toward completion. By assigning one point of contact the team members were clear on whom to funnel all their content. If the proposal manager is not empowered, ambiguous roles may create confusion in version control which could lead to lost work and inefficient timeline management.
Understand the link between the proposal and sales manager
A solid business relationship between the proposal and sales manager cannot be mitigated. When both these roles are in step, a stronger proposal is a sure thing. I learned that if both operating styles are compatible, there's a greater chance of success.
Identify the client's pain points
The most effective proposals are those that the sales lead has developed a relationship with the client. Sales should understand the client's pain points, and the proposal manager must articulate a customized solution to address these issues. To ensure a smooth communication download from sales to the written word, I developed a series of interview questions posed to the sales lead of our proposal based on a problem/solution/results format.
- What part of the client's company is affected by this problem?
- What is the single most important part of this proposal that will make the client choose us?
- What does success look like for our client?
Ensure a clear review process is in place
Identify all the team members who will review the proposal and how much influence they have on the final product. I recommend three levels:
- Editorial review: technical aspects such as grammar, formatting, spelling, consistency, punctuation
- Client POV: Is the proposal approach solving the pain point? Is the language clear? Is there enough technical detail?
- C-Suite Review: Allow plenty of time for this final review by the CEO, CFO, or COO. Chances are once the C-Suite reviews the proposal there will be changes that must be addressed, so also build time in the schedule to integrate changes for one final pass-through after this review.
Conduct a post-mortem on the entire proposal process
After all the hard work, hundreds of hours, and countless versions of the proposal, it's finally complete. I believe the most useful part of the process is to identify what did and didn't work for this proposal. Less than 25 percent of proposals actually get the project, sometimes less, and for us, it may take months before we find out if we're the winners. Why not gather the team together for a 30-minute forensic evaluation of the proposal writing process? It benefits everyone, making the next go-around even better. This internal process builds the team and, even though it might be painful, and certainly enough finger-pointing to go around, it does make everyone stronger. In the end, it's about learning and improving communication skills, and making your business competitive.

4 Steps Toward Balance After Disappointment
March 10, 2015
You botched the interview. You didn't get into the MBA program at a top-tier university. The promotion you were seeking went to someone else. Things are not going according to the plan and now your life is upside down and you're walking through molasses. How do you regain balance after disappointment?
What about if you reframed the disappointment as a catalyst to your growth? You could then consider these trying times as an opportunity to become stronger and wiser. I'd like you to consider these four steps toward balance after disappointment:
1. Remain present for the experience
The desire to escape the pain of disappointment is the path of least resistance. Try to remain present. It is more painful in the short run, but in the long run, greater emotional health and vitality will be your reward. I've found that the disappointment comes through in waves. The intensity waxes and wanes. By remaining present, you can acknowledge the situation with clarity. Say to yourself, "I am here now. I will not be here forever. This too will pass."
2. Seek and accept support
If you recognize that you are not alone in the struggle against the pain of disappointment, your challenge becomes less self-centered and more about what it means to be a human being in the year 2015. These are hyper-competitive times. Once you remember that we are all connected to the great mystery of life, you'll feel less alone and more inclined to accept support from others who also continue the struggle. There are times in your life when you've held the lantern in the dark for others, helping to show them the way. Now it's your turn to be led. No one can take the journey for you, but they can hold your hand and guide you through the darkness into the light.
3. Recognize experience becomes wisdom
When you are in the midst of your challenge, it's hard to imagine a time when the transformation will be complete and the experience will become wisdom. As long as you feel you're in transformation, you are not any wiser for it. It is when you are complete with the struggle that you can gain perspective and can then transform the experience into wisdom. You no longer identify with the disappointment. You have distance from your challenge and can now examine it with clarity and perspective. You'll look back and reflect on your behavior and the results of your actions. Don't judge them as good or bad. They simply are. Then take that information and catalog it. Now it is in your mental and emotional files. Soon you will be called upon to participate in another struggle. It may not be any easier, but now you have a greater awareness of how to get through it. You will be wiser than before, but not as wise as you will become.
4. Life is a gift beyond measure
Sometimes life will be raw. But if you allow it, your life can become a creative expression of who we are. The choice to be awake and present for the experience can crystallize in greater clarity on your purpose for being on this Earth at this time. It is up to you to decide. This opportunity to choose is given to you every time you face challenge and struggle. When you are in the metamorphosis from a cocoon to a butterfly remember that the reward of your great effort is wings to take flight.
5 Lessons From A One-Year Journey
March 5, 2015
At midlife, my two college-bound children left home at the same time. Restless and living in an empty nest, I questioned: Am I living my life's purpose? I heard prophetic words that altered the course of my life: If you want something to change, make a new choice. This advice set my heart on fire. How far would I be willing to go outside my comfort zone to discover who I really am? As I shouted "yes" to my newfound desire, I wondered after the course of a year where I might end up. I surrendered the need to know, figuring that this was all part of the journey which basically began before I even left Sacramento. I sold my home and possessions. The remaining belongings were packed into a Lexus coupe. Then I launched on a pilgrimage across California where I lived in one city per month for a year.
I started my journey in the mountains and ended at the ocean. After an entire year of being on the road, I made some insightful discoveries, now lessons, which I'll share with you below. I'll be the first to admit, changing the course of your life takes some true grit, not for the faint of heart. If you're ready to trust that a larger story of your life is unfolding, then I have three words of advice for you—beast mode, engaged!
- If you want something to change, make a new choice
If you want to experience another way of living your life, make a new choice and follow that path on your journey. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a new result. Make a new choice.
- Passion requires risk
When was the last time you had butterflies in your stomach and felt your heart pound wildly? Resting safe and secure in your comfortable life will not inspire passion. Put your head in the lion's mouth and feel what it means to be alive. Make a new choice and change the trajectory of your life.
- Say yes to every opportunity
Your life contracts or expands. When you say no, it contracts. When you say yes, it expands. "Yes" sends the message that you're in expansion mode. Yes is a muscle you strengthen every time you use it. Your reward is confidence.
- Release attachment to outcome
The direct cause of suffering is desire. What you want for your own life may not be what the world wishes or needs. There may be something much bigger and bolder waiting for you. Surrender your will. Trust that a larger story of your life is unfolding.
- Every step of the journey is the journey
Your journey has no start or end. Your existence is infinite. Life mirrors the universe, it continues to expand and evolve. You create meaning of your life with each choice you make. Wake up to yourself. There is only one time and it is now.
Three Tips On Releasing Attachment To Outcome
February 27, 2015
The direct cause of suffering is desire. What you want for your own life may not be what the world wishes or needs. There may be something much bigger and bolder waiting for you. Surrender your will. Trust that a larger story of your life is unfolding.
Practice these three tips:
1. Recognize the difference between capitulation and surrender
Capitulation feels like you're resisting "what is" without any horsepower behind it. A great business example is when your boss makes a bad decision and you have little choice but to follow along even though you don't agree with the direction. Surrender removes the resistance as you simply take a step back and watch what unfolds from a neutral position. You don't judge it as good or bad, it simply "is."
2. Accept your life as it is, not how you think it should be
How many times have you said to yourself, "I should be making more money," or "I should be driving a brand-new Tesla by now just like my college roommate." Instead, why not experience your life as it is? Living becomes way more interesting when you take a step back and observe how your life actually operates. With some practice, you'll amuse yourself instead of being the jury and the judge of your existence.
3. Trust that your life is unfolding for your highest good
The bottom line is this: you are here on Earth to experience life in all its manifestations, good, bad, indifferent, that's the beauty of the human condition. Be awake and aware for all the choices you make, then surrender your will and watch what happens. When you release attachment to outcome, liberation becomes your trusted companion and you are free to create the life you actually want to live in.
What role does wisdom play in technology?
December 29, 2014
I'm now part of the Wisdom 2.0 Street Team. What does that mean? I'll distribute postcards advertising the San Francisco Wisdom 2.0 Conference on Feb. 27 – March 1, 2015 to over 50 South Bay locations including coffee shops, yoga studios, and health food markets. I'll get to visit the campuses of Stanford, Google, and Facebook. The result of this volunteer effort will be a free three-day pass to the conference. In the words of rock band the Who, "I call that a bargain, the best I ever had."
The concept of wisdom and technology bewitches me heart and mind. I get freaked out by the singularity concept, the moment when humans and machines merge and nonbiological intelligence, err…robots take over the world. I want to engage in conversation that sculpts humanity's role to live with greater wisdom, purpose, and meaning while using technology in ways that create a more open and healthy culture. Score one for humans, stupid robots! Plus, I have a cool idea for the postcard distribution project.
My goal is to discover the answer to this question: What role does wisdom play in technology? The kaleidoscope responses to this query will be myriad, there is no one answer, but rather, many facets to view the question. I simply want to create awareness that wisdom and technology are intimately connected. How will I do that?
One things for sure, it will be a pen-and-paper, low-tech project, duh! On a 11 x 17 legal-sized sheet of paper will be a handwritten question: "What role does wisdom play in technology?" At each postcard distribution site I'll ask a real person to write their response using a black sharpie. Then I'll snap their picture and post it on social media, contributing to the larger conversation that's taking place right now, sculpting our future. This is my own way of integrating community at the grass-roots level. Wish me luck!
