Very optimistic - I would not count on that!
I don't know, mine is 4 months old and doesn't have any colorissues! Or am I really lucky here?!

I actually prefer the new plastic as it does have brighter colours - hopefully it will weather well too. Yellow doesn't seem right mind you - too pale. White is especially good obviously.
Any of my recent sets have had no issue, because of course they are all the one brick type - the new plastic.
I've nearly come to the point with MoCing/sorting mind you of separating old and new white bricks - even apart from yellowing, the old ones all look terrible next to the new ones, even the old ones in mint condition.
I prefer the greater flexibility of the new bricks too - I can understand it might be an issue for large structures or structural elements, but for day to day building it really makes things so much easier (no need for picking, just pull the bricks apart).

Maybe you didn't notice them. See this for a picture and the typical symptoms to look for.
At this point, I doubt the colors will ever be fixed completely. TLG has surely realized by now that most people haven't even noticed the quality reduction, and they have little incentive to fix it. Some colors do at least seem to be improving, although very slowly.

Good point, after a pretty close look to the building I have to conclude there are just a few issues.
The biggest issue is the colorvariation in the dark red plates (noticed this before in the Model Town House, the dark red jumper plates)
Further I spot 1 darker redbrown brick and 3 redbrown bricks with a less smooth surface.
That's really it, at least on my copy, plus it's only noticable from it's backview. Ok I'd rather have no issues in a set like this but yeah youcan't have everything I guess..

Well, I think actually it's more just that the stocks of bricks using old plastic are getting used up.
Perterz: sounds like a vast improvement - on my Café Corner the 1x8 tan bricks are all lighter, and many other tan bricks a bit darker. Most of the red-brown is the lighter shade that is ubiquitous now in my experience - but in this set the 1x4s, 1x6s and some 1x8s are noticably darker (I'm not talking about old brown - just a darker shade of red-brown). You can notice the difference in brick type too though as the darker ones jam together tighter and have less of a sheen. Also some older slopes that are a darker shade of dark red and have no texture - and others are the newer brighter ones (again, most dark red in sets in the last year or two seems to be this) and they have proper texture as many slopes are starting to have again.
Ditto goes for market street - a lot of older navy colour that's darker - but in using some of my existing brick stock (from Agents) for modifications it was obvious that the colour differences were where there were newer navy that is lighter (all my Agents brick stock is that shade).
So I do live in hope that this is a time-limited problem.

I was checking this review to see what color that 1x1 grille piece is. And I noticed that "Inspiration model". And, I was curious if anyone has built it and maybe has instructions or part count? I'd like to add this "official" set to my street.
Posted 08 August 2011 - 06:03 AM
I had not one inkling as to the level of an investment it actually has become.

Whats the best way to keep chicken liver on a treble hook in running water?
Ricky :confused:
What happened to the BOC Store, cant seem to find it since moving to the new site.
Try tying a snap swivel on the end of your line, then run the shank of your hook up through your liver and attach to hook to your snap swivel. It stays pretty well that way. You might also try using beef livers which, in my opinion don't work as well as chicken, but they are a little tougher and stay on better. Some other options would be using the panty hose, or tying it up with string or something like that. I don't use any of those methods, but then, I usually don't fish fast rivers either.
All that I do is plug the chicken liver onto a circle hook and hurl it out there. But, like Willis, I dont fish fast current either. I just have this small sluggish spot in the creek that I go to, and throw it out there. As for a treble, I would have to go with Willis again. It seems like the best way would be to stab the shank through it, and then snap it onto your line. That way the three barbs will support the liver a bit more.
ahh, treble hooks and liver. They go together just like bread and butter. I have really good luck with the freshest liver possible and then impale the glob of bait on a couple of the hook points then slowly wrap the liver around the shank of the hook. I use the bait holder type with the spring and you can feel the senewy strand in the liver take hold.
good luck
Wouldn't it be better to use cured chicken liver? :0a36:
theres a thread available thats mostly used for salmon fishishing? i think.Its used to hold the salmon eggs or other fish eggs on the hook,but it works very well with chicken liver on a regular/circle hook.
Should have no problem keeping the liver on with a treble hook.I use it sometimes with a circle hook in fast current and never have a problem with it coming off.
The river i fish is tidal water so when the tid is goin out,and the current is goin its usually runnin around 15mph! :p
willis said it........use a swivel and up end the hook into a nice chunk....should stay on well even after a hit........
I'm with Ramrod on this one. I sun cure my chicken livers with garlic salt and let them sit for about one or two hours on each side. I thread my livers on even after I cure them. That's how my bro caught his fifty pounder, and last weekend I caught my twenty five pounder. Everyone has their own technique though. Whatever you do, have fun doing it! Good Luck Fishin!!
How about tossing a hand full of chicken livers in a blender with two hand fulls of wheaties. Creates a nice paste that will stick to bait holder hooks like stink bait.
Another thing I've done is just tie the hook with a long tag end, then use the tag end to wrapp around the baited hook and a simple half hitch or over hand will hold things in place pretty well.
Just a couple of my own techniques
I just hook the liver as many times as possible and give it a lob with a long pole. It will get out there pretty far, I have been doing this since I started catfishing. Every once in a while it will come off the hook but I guess thats the way it goes.

Joseph Shuman, 24, of Tobyhanna, will head to county court on charges of setting fire May 16 to a Coolbaugh Township home with residents inside.
Ineligible for bail since attempted murder is a non-bailable offense, Shuman remained in Monroe County Correctional Facility as of Friday. He will appear at a future date in county court.
Pocono Mountain Regional Police said Shuman set fire to a Winding Way residence. Emergency crews responded to the call around 5:50 a.m. after a passer-by saw the fire and alerted authorities, while the residents managed to escape.
Smelling gasoline, police learned Shuman had been in a domestic dispute with one of the residents before the fire. Police said Shuman removed the electric meter on the side of the house, poured gasoline around the front and back doors and then lit the fire.
The lack of power to the house put the four residents in greater danger because they are deaf and needed to rely on the flash of special alarms to alert them to a fire, police said.

Let me pay for cable channels that I'll actually watch
Re: "Cable blackout is over — With NFL games, CBS wins fee, digital rights fight with Time Warner," Tuesday news story.
The CBS and Time Warner Cable television settlement was nothing more than a gentlemen's agreement between two very greedy parties on how to increase future billings to its subscribers, and nothing else.
After all, we could still view Channel 11 for free via the old antenna in the attic. It wasn't really a fight at all; it was all about how to fill each others coffers. Apparently they think that we're all numbskulls.
What we really need is a comprehensive change so that subscribers can pick and choose what channels they want. Currently we pay for unwanted Spanish, religious, food and other channels that we don't want but we ultimately pay for, as nothing comes free on Time Warner.
It is mind boggling to me that the Obama led FTC and the Justice Department didn't intervene in this matter to protect the public from these two very greedy players. Although, that doesn't really surprise me at all.

The Prince
by Niccolò Machiavelli
Analysis: Narrator Point of View
Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
First Person (Peripheral Narrator)
Machiavelli isn't pulling any Jedi mind tricks on us with this one. The narration of The Prince is pretty straightforward. He's not really telling us a story, but instructing us. Sure, we have some "characters," but Machiavelli doesn't tell us about their feelings, thoughts, or emotions, and we're pretty sure he doesn't even care about that sort of stuff. All that matters is what these guys do. And that's what Machiavelli tells us about. This might be a self-help book, but Chicken Soup for the Soul it isn't.
Machiavelli's choice of point of view makes sense for the type of work that he is writing. He refers to himself as "I" rather than Machiavelli, and all of his advice is addressed directly to us. There are only two parts in the book where Machiavelli seems to stop instructing and instead tries to have a conversation with a very specific leader: the dedication and the last chapter. Here, Machiavelli talks directly to Lorenzo de' Medici, begging him to acknowledge his wisdom or unite Italy.
Overall, we feel like Machiavelli's point of view puts him right over our shoulder while we're watching some kind of ancient, warlike, Greatest Strategies of All Time marathon on TLC. He's pointing out all the little details, and we are both kind of annoyed and genuinely interested in what he is saying. Now, if we could only find that remote…

MJ grow taken down in El Cajon
Federal ICE agents served a search warrant on a home on Hardin drive in El Cajon on Wednesday morning, April 24, 2013. They discovered and dismantled what was described by an agent as a technically sophisticated marijuana growing operation that included air conditioners, dehumidifiers, a Co2 generator, charcoal air filters and growing lights in the garage of the house. According to ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack one person was detained at the scene. A crew from the county wide Narcotics Task Force that dismantles these illegal growing operations took the operation apart and impounded the pieces away as evidence.

Circuit Judge Calkins today returned a decision in favor of the defendant in the celebrated case brought by the city administration against Councilman George H. Millar, accused of immorality, in which an appeal was taken from the rulings of Mayor Eifert as municipal judge.
Of the four main points of contention, the mayor was reversed, and practically all the mayor's rulings swept aside as illegal, the court holding with the contentions of the defendant's attorney throughout the trial.
The case was brought by Attorney Boggs, then city attorney, who acted as prosecutor for the city. It grew out of the attempt to punish Millar for selling liquor to an immoral resort. Miller was convicted and fined. The success of the appeal remits the fine.
A merry war is raging between the orchardists and the cattlemen of northeast Medford precinct over a proposal to submit to the voters at a special election the stock closure law pased at the last session of the legislature, which will prohibit stock from running at large within the precinct and enables property owners damaged to impound the stock and hold the same until the owner cashes up.
Northeast Medford includes a portion of Roxy Ann, which is mostly railroad land. The land is leased as a stock range by a syndicate of Medford men. The stock come down to the roads and lanes, pasturing thereon, entering open gates and frequently breaking fences and getting as far as Medford and Central Point.
The stockmen claim the law will work a hardship upon them by forcing them to keep herdsmen and thus increase the cost of meat and living. The orchardists claim the stock have damaged property running into thousands and that with the high prices secured nowadays for meat, stockmen can afford to fence their ranges or keep herdsmen.
Efforts at a compromise are being made, whereby the restricted district will give the stockmen that portion of the precinct east of the Roxy Ann road that skirts along the west slope of the mountain.

My early 2013 teaching schedule is shaping up… so I thought I'd share the info (and sign-up links) with you!
If you live in one of the areas I'll be visiting, I sure hope I'll see you in one of my classes!
January: Amigurumi Workshops in Sydney, Australia
January 7th, 2013
I'll be teaching two amigurumi workshops in Sydney… Australians, this is your chance!
I'm being hosted by the NSW Knitter's Guild, and they've arranged for the workshops to be held in the Customs House Library, a stunning venue right by Circular Quay. Aren't we lucky ducks?!?
Join me for Introduction to Soft Toy Crochet or Make your Own Owl (or both! The classes are largely non-overlapping). For details and to sign up online, visit the NSW Knitter's Guild website.
March: Class and awesomeness in Pittsburgh, PA
March 15-17, 2013
Do you remember last year when I went to the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival? I loved it so much that I'm back for another year!
This year, the festival is taking place in March, so will hopefully avoid the snowy weather that tried to derail our crocheting-fun last year!
I'll be teaching an amigurumi course (learn to crochet Mal the duck!) and vending for the weekend, as well. You'll want to stop by my booth because:
- Tim (Mr. FreshStitches) is going to learn to crochet this year… check in on his progress!
- there will be an early bird opportunity to sign up for the Summer 2013 Kit Club!
- you'll get to have the first in-person peek at the new 2013 kits!
- I'll be signing books and excited to chat with people!
Seriously, I love the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival. It's a barrel of fun! I hope to see you!
For festival information as well as details about registering for my class, visit the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival website.
April: Crochet Workshops in Atlanta, GA
April 11-14th, 2013
Who's going to Stitches South? I am!
I'll be teaching 3 classes: Troubleshooting & Pattern Reading for Crocheters, Make a Stuffed Animal and Techniques for Crochet Colorwork. Even if you're a pro at stuffed animal making, I hope you'll find one of my other courses enticing!
You've probably heard me chatting about Stitches East, which is always a blast. And I have every reason to believe that Stitches South is going to be just as much fun!
There are already whispers about a FreshStitches meet-up happening, so you'll want to stay tuned for details!
For details and to register for my classes, visit the Stitches website.
Will I see you?
Am I going to be seeing you at any of these events? I hope so!
I also travel to LYSs to teach workshops… if you think I'd fit in at your LYS, let me know! I'd be happy to email your LYS owner and see if they're up for having me teach near you.
A big hug to our December Sponsors!
I want to take a minute to give a shout-out to two lovely companies that are sponsoring the super-awesome tutorials on the blog this month. They both offer fabulous goodies for us crocheters… so let's have a peek!
Knitter's Pride
Don't be fooled by the name… have you seen Knitter's Pride crochet hooks?
I can say from personal experience that the Dreamz hooks are a pleasure to work with. If you've read my Crochet Hook Review, you'll know that there are lots of different shapes of hooks, some suited to certain crochet styles over others. The shape of the Dreamz hooks dances right in the middle of all of my definitions: it's mostly inline, but has a slight taper. The tip is rounded, but carved to a taper so it still inserts easily into stitches. It's a style that will suit a wide variety of crocheting styles.
The hooks are available at an LYS near you either individually, or in a limited addition set. Uh… can you say 'holiday present'?
Crochet Happy
I fell in love with Crochet Happy when I spotted them at Stitches: they make notions and accessories that make the perfect accompaniment to your crochet. Some of my faves?
These little sticky tabs are the perfect thing for helping you keep track of where you are in your pattern. I know some folks write on their patterns… but that's just confusing for next time when you want to use it! And you can't write on your Kindle (which is how I read a lot of my crochet patterns). These tabs are fabulous, just move them along to keep track of the row you're on… and they come in an adorable 'Crochet Happy' case!
And I think these little zippy pouches are great for storing your notions. They're big enough for keeping your hooks, and clear so you can always see what's inside!
Oh, and there are totes, water bottles… however you want to scream, "Crochet Happy"! All items are available for purchase on the Crochet Happy website. Go ahead and treat yourself!

WEBS, American's Yarn Store America's Yarn Store
Saturday, June 7th, 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Creative Director and founder of Prism Yarns Laura Militzer Bryant's newest book is Artful Color, Mindful Knits.
With expert instruction in the use of hand-dyed yarn, this pattern book gives knitters and crocheters the edge they need to stitch with confidence. Working with artisan hand-dyed yarn opens a world of possibility for a crafter, but problems can arise if the patterning is accidental, inconsistent, or unattractive. The author shows how to analyze the dye skein and reveal its color repeat, allowing the crafter to employ stitch gauge and stitch count to intentionally pattern the finished work. As a contrast, further strategies and stitch choices are shown that blend the colors to overcome unwanted pooling and create more gentle gradients. With 40 patterns for a wide variety of projects, this manual will have crafters constructing vibrant scarves, shawls, kimonos, and more.
Laura will sign copies of her book which will be available for purchase during this event.

As thousands moved into their dorms at Michigan State University, Sunday, the school braced itself for what administrators are calling the largest freshmen class in MSU history.
According to university President, Dr. Lou Anna K. Simon, it all began when the school received a record number of applications.
"You try to admit students recognizing that a lot of the students you admit out of that record number of applications will not come," said Simon. "It turns out that all of those negative factors that you would expect to hold down yield didn't occur for us."
However, there has also been speculation that admitting more students could help the university solve budget issues. President Simon says that is not the case.
"Our budget was based on the projected number of freshmen and was set a year in advance," said Simon. "It's just six or seven hundred more people than we planned."
The extra 700 people attending than usual has forced the university to come up with creative ways to house them, including lowering the number single-person dorms and assigning temporary roommates to Resident Advisers and Cultural Aides.
"Every year, we average close to 400 no-shows," said Dr. Kathy Collins, Director of Residence Education and Housing Services. "Some students are assigned in a transitionally housed situation, but we will be able to move them out very quickly."
Dr. Collins also says some students were even given their permanent housing assignments when they checked in on Sunday.

I'm finding it incredibly hard to discuss anything relating to our economic or market situation without feeling like a character in the old Bill Murray movie, Groundhog Day, the one in which an arrogant TV reporter assigned to go to Punxsutawney, Pa. to cover the annual groundhog emergence and the will-it or won't-it see it shadow event gets stuck in a time loop and winds up reliving the same day over and over and over again.

We have 4 types of bungalows.
Each is located on or near the beachfront and have a gorgeous views of the beach, the wide bay out the front and Isabel mountain range with wild sunsets at dust. They are tucked away between the coco palms, orchids and local plants and there's no better way to fall asleep then to hear the gentle lapping of waves on the beach.
They are all constructed using traditional materials like sago leaf and wild beetle nut, all have large decks and are fitted out using LED lighting, inner spring mattresses and mossie nets.

A Cervical Support Pillow is one of the best investments you can make for your health and your family's health.
There are three curves in your spine that need to be maintained or damaging stress is put on your spinal cord and nerves coming off your spinal cord.
If you sleep on your back without a supportive pillow your normal neck curve flattens out and harmful stress is put on your cervical spine. Over time this will cause neck, shoulder, upper, middle and possibly even lower back pain.
Stress on your cervical spine can cause problems in your lower back because the nerves pass through the cervical spine to get to your upper, middle and lower back.
There is a real nice cervical pillow that I highly recommend.
The Memory Foam Cervical Pillow that I use.
Click here for a list of all the pain relief products that I use, or that I recommend to patients, family and friends.
I have used a memory foam pillow since 1984. I think it is the most comfortable pillow you can sleep on and it gives you the support you need whether you sleep on your back or side.
I have a confession to make. Though I know sleeping on your back or side is much better for you than sleeping on your stomach because of the stress that puts on your neck, I have never been able to totally break myself of the habit of stomach sleeping.
So if I just can't get to sleep on my back or side, what I can do with the Memory pillow is sleep right at the end of the pillow so my head is facing my mattress and isn't turned all the way to the side.
If you sleep on your side without a cervical pillow your head and neck are not able to stay in proper anatomical position which allows damaging stress on the nerves in your neck.
Your cervical spine needs to be in straight alignment with the rest of your spine when you are lying on your side.
A cervical support pillow will keep damaging stress off your spine whether you sleep on your back or side. This will give you a better nights rest, relieve pain and prevent a whole lot of discomfort that would eventually trouble you.
Sleeping on a cervical pillow also reduces snoring because your breathing passage is better aligned.
In my practice I have had patients tell me that their cervical pillow has relieved Carpal Tunnel symptoms because of the support and comfort it gave to their neck muscles and joints.
Other patients were helped with Insomnia (difficulty sleeping), Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Whiplash and Shoulder Bursitis symptoms.
It makes sense, because if your head is not supported properly during sleep, your head and neck will slip into poor sleeping postures that will not only disturb your sleep, but will also contribute to a number of painful conditions.
Restful sleep is critical to good health. Your brain needs a good, quality, restful sleep to recover energy used up during the day to be ready to meet the next day's challenges and healing needs fully recharged.
A cervical support pillow can help you get that sleep without sleeping pills, which leave many people in a mental fog the next day.
A good cervical pillow will have an indented center which will cradle your head when you're sleeping on your back, and a raised section that supports the healthy curve of your neck.
It will also have a section that will support your head in proper alignment when you sleep on your side.
Choosing the correct cervical support pillow is also essential to getting the quality sleep that your body needs to feel and function at its best.
This is the Memory Foam Cervical Pillow that I use.
To Your Best Health,
Dr. Cliff

Will USC balance load at tailback?
Tre Madden became the first USC tailback since Marcus Allen in 1981 to record consecutive 100-yard games at the start of a season. Madden has 260 yards this season, but how much is too much?
Madden had 32 of USC's 38 carries against Washington State last week, and Kiffin indicated that he would like to get Justin Davis and Javorius Allen more involved in the run game.
``That's not really how we like the numbers to be, but (Madden) was playing so well,'' Kiffin said. ``He was actually getting stronger as the game was going. When you look at his fourth-quarter runs, he's still running over people. He still looked like he was in the first quarter, and that's very unusual to do.''
Silas Redd, USC's leading rusher last season, is expected to miss a third consecutive game because of a knee injury. Redd was in pads for practice this week but left early each day with players getting rehabilitation work.

Acquired: Traded to Detroit by New York Rangers for future considerations on March 8, 1988.
Drafted: STL / 1980 NHL Entry Draft
Round: 3rd (54th overall)
In 1978-79, he joined the Peterborough Petes of the OHA for 16 games before moving on to the Kitchener Rangers and the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. While in Kitchener, Pavese established himself as a balanced blueliner who could play a sound, physical game while contributing to the offense at the other end of the rink. The St. Louis Blues took note, picking him up in the 1980 entry draft.
Pavese joined the Blues in 1981-82 and initiated a pattern of bouncing between the majors and minors until 1984 when he earned a regular spot at the NHL level. For the next three seasons, he enjoyed his most consistent output as a defensive defenseman who dished out plenty of grit for those opponents who ventured too close to his crease.
By 1987, however, injuries took their toll as Pavese earned travel points en route to New York, Colorado, Detroit and New Haven -- all in only one season. By the end of that year, he'd only logged 27 games worth of action. From then on, Pavese found it difficult to sustain his NHL form. He made a brief go in 1988-89 with the Red Wings and Whalers before retiring from hockey at the end of the season.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
This question is *the* FAQ; if it is not in the FAQ it should be. > One client, i regularly send faxes to, reports a RetrainNegative, > after transmission, BUT _every_ page got sucessfully transmitted > and is perfectly legibly on the other side. Are you sure you are getting RTN rather than ERROR from the modem? ERROR from the modem is assumed to be RTN, but might be something else. Please include a log next time. Although technically RTN is due to bad analogue quality, in practice it can be caused by coding errors in the digital data. Most fax machines have a very low threshold for reporting RTN based on coding errors. There is a known cause of coding errors in an unpatched Hylafax to do with the tag line and a patch to fix this. There is also a patch to slow down after RTN, which may cover some other causes. Other causes, apart from the obvious bad phone line or modem, are overruns, underruns and bugs in the serial driver (I don't entirely trust the Linux drivers on some serial cards). Limiting retries should be a simple matter of changing the configuration, although I haven't checked. The problem is that the fax will be abandoned. I think a code change would be needed to make RTN be ignored completely, and there is (reasonable) resistance to any such change away from correct behaviour being put into the official version. Ultimately though, if these are real RTNs, the problem is in the remote fax machine for returning RTN on acceptable material. (Hylafax will send RTN if there are more than 5% malformed scan lines.)

Police are seeking a man who robbed a pizza delivery driver outside a Fort Wright bank.

Police searched for the robber, described as a black man in his 20s wearing a baggy white shirt and baggy shorts, using a helicopter but were unable to find him.
The victim was not hurt in the robbery.

Hi vatso;
Simplest way is to form the recurrence
with a(0) = 150. Then you just run the recurrence forward for 39 months. Answer is 182.20809 which when rounded is 182.21
From the recurrence you can also get a formula:

Extroverts are overrated. Unlock the power of the introverts on your sales team.
Conventional wisdom has long said that extroverts make the best salespeople, and employers often look specifically for extroverts when hiring for sales roles.
There's just
one problem with this: No data supports this claim. In a 2013 article on the best personality type for
salespeople, the Washington Post reported that, in a
meta-analysis of 35 studies of nearly 4,000 salespeople, social scientists
found that "the correlation between extroversion and sales performance was
essentially zero (0.07, to be exact)."
somewhere in the middle of the sliding scale between introversion and
extroversion—are the most successful in sales roles, according to the report.
So, if you have introverts on your sales staff—and chances are, you do: in her
book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a
World That Can't Stop Talking, Susan Cain writes that one-third to one-half
of Americans are introverts—consider this advice to tip introverted salespeople
to the middle of the scale.
Remove the bustle of the workplace.
"Extroverted" and "introverted" are often confused with "outgoing" and "shy," says Phoenix psychologist Frank Bevacqua, PhD. But these labels more accurately indicate where people derive energy. Extroverts seek social interaction when they need to unwind and recharge; introverts need quiet time alone to think and reflect.
So small
business owners should consider whether the workplace environment is impeding
success for introverted salespeople, says Leigh Steere, cofounder of Managing
People Better in Boulder, Colo. Do salespeople participate in many staff
meetings, attend big networking events/trade shows or work in a bustling
office? These things can zap introverts' energy and ignore the way they work best.
Steere recommends offering more workplace flexibility, such as work-from-home
options, optional meeting attendance and designated quiet areas with minimal
interruptions. That way, they can focus their ambivert energy on interactions
with prospective customers.
Let introverts decide how they sell.
Introvert advantages are multiple, and those who capitalize on them excel at sales, says Alen Mayer from Toronto, author of Selling for Introverts. For instance, introverts are skilled at listening and relationship-building. Customers want to explain their problem and discuss what matters to them, and introverts are naturals for taking in all the details, asking good questions and grasping the big picture.
To encourage
and support these strengths, let go of any one-size-fits-all sales protocols. Arbitrary
quotas don't motivate, says Beth Buelow, CEO of The Introvert Entrepreneur in
Tacoma, Wash. Introverts need to be authentic with their personal brand, which means
not trying to be an extrovert or share others' definition of what should be done
for success, she says.
Give your
introverted salespeople sales goals, but leave the "how-to" up to them, Steere
says. Their way of cultivating prospects may be different from extroverts', but
who cares?
approach has worked well for Laura Benson from Minneapolis, founder/owner of
Jeanne Beatrice, which designs, imports and sells market baskets handwoven in Morocco. Benson, who is an introvert, says her "soft" sales
style is based on listening, honesty, customer needs and people-first
principles. It has enabled her "to take the time to
develop strong relationships with people with whom I work such as vendors,
sales reps, artisans and customers," she says. "And I think the mutual loyalty
and respect really have helped my business grow."

Product Description
The crew of the exploration ship Znutar just wanted to cruise around the Galaxy, discovering strange new worlds and playing pool. But then their ship was invaded by the Awful Green Things . . . and suddenly they were fighting for their lives!
In this wacky two-player game, one player controls the Awful Green Things. They grow and multiply every turn – especially if they can gobble up a crew member! The other player commands the crew, frantically trying weapon after weapon (pool sticks, fire extinguishers, cans of Zgwortz) to find something that kills the monsters.
This classic game by Tom Wham first appeared in Dragon Magazine in 1980, and has been a fan favorite ever since! This edition includes Tom's "Outside the Znutar" rules and counters, for going out the airlocks and fighting on the surface of the ship, and upgraded components: a mounted gameboard, heavy die-cut counters, and a full-color rulebook!

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4 in 1 review
I originally got this game as an "insert" in a magazine (it might have been from Metagaming, or some other company) and had hour of fun playing both the crew of the Znutar and the Green Things. The game play is different every game, because while the Things basically get to grow and reproduce until they are stopped (or not!), the crew has to discover which of their "weapons"—which can include such varied things as "real" weapons like knives and stun pistols, to canisters of Zgwortz (beer?)—has a desired effect on the monsters. But this is only discovered on the first use of a weapon, which adds to the diversity and fun of the game.
Please note, however, that the game is really only for 2 players, not the 3-6 shown in the listing (as of this moment).
A fun game, and not very difficult to learn or to play with kids.

WALNUT CREEK -- Don't worry hikers, bikers and outdoor enthusiasts, because Walnut Creek's open space will remain open -- and free.
Resident Janet Brown saw a sign Tuesday at the Bayberry entrance of the Ygnacio Canal Trail, which leads into the Lime Ridge Open Space. It said that beginning June 15, Walnut Creek would charge people and dogs to use the open space trails. A copy of the sign, which bears the city's logo of a tree, says that all round-trip and one-way fares are $1 for children over 5 years old, and 50 cents for dogs.
But Mike Vickers, public services manager for the city, said this flier, and the idea of charging for access to the open space and use of trails, is all an elaborate prank and completely untrue.
"Certainly people will not be charged to use the trail this year, or any time," Vickers said.
When he went to the Bayberry entrance later Tuesday, the flier was gone. The city found that similar fliers had been posted along the trail at various entrances.
The one at Bayberry said it was the future home of "tollbooth number six" and that failure to pay the admission would result in a $252 citation. Alarmingly, the sign also said that "toll takers are licensed to carry firearms."
The city is looking into who may have produced the fake fliers.

The Marietta College junior - who normally starts - scored a career-high 24 points off the pine as the Pioneers defeated Baldwin-Wallace University, 97-86, in Ohio Athletic Conference men's basketball action at Ban Johnson Arena Saturday.
"I've been out with an illness," said the 6-foot-1 Dollman, who was eight of 11 from the field and seven of eight from the line. "I just came back to practice yesterday (Friday)."

Marietta College's Keith Richardson (10) dribbles as Baldwin-Wallace's Kevin Krakowiak (20) defends during OAC men's basketball action at Ban Johnson Arena Saturday. The Pioneers won 97-86.
Dollman did not make the Ohio Northern trip on Wednesday.
"I was in one of those zones, I guess," Dollman continued. "I got on a roll and everything seemed to go in. It happens sometimes."
Jon VanderWal said Dollman was "a Warrior."

"Kudos to Andy Dollman," said the seventh-year MC head coach whose navy blue and white cagers improved their record to 10-3 overall and 5-1 in the OAC). "He came out here today and played his heart and soul out. He put on a clinic today.
"I told him I wanted to get 10 to 15 minutes out of him today and I rode him for 28."
Luis Garcia added 22 points, including 13 of 13 from the charity stripe, and Garrett Stephenson had 16 markers. The Pioneer bench outpointed the Yellow Jackets, 48-6.
"I thought everybody stepped up their effort," said Dollman, who played his prep hoops at Parkersburg High. "We knew we had to get better and bounce back from a bad loss (at Ohio Northern University). We knew B-W was predicted to be No. 1 in the conference so we had to make a statement. That was our goal."
Baldwin-Wallace was paced by Jaron Crowe, who tallied a game-high 29 points. Kevin Krakowiak and Kyle Payne chipped in with 22 markers. The Yellow Jacket starters accounted for 80 of the 86 points.
B-W fell to 7-6 and 3-3.
"We beat one of the premiere teams in Division III," VanderWal said. "Their record may not show it but they're as talented as anybody we're going to play all year.
"We're in the nuts and bolts, the heart of our schedule right now. It's a game we had to have, and our kids responded. I'm really proud of them."
Sparked by Dollman's 15 first-half points, Marietta staked itself to a 53-49 advantage. From the floor, he was six of six, and from the line, two of two. Eddy Grenert and Stephenson each added nine points. Grenert's total came in three minutes of court time.
MC led for most of the first 20 minutes of play, and had a nine-point advantage on a couple of occasions. B-W stayed close, thanks to the shooting of Crowe, Krakowiak, and Payne.
After the break, Marietta stretched its lead to double digits (73-62) for the first time in the contest when A.J. Ireland drained a three at the 12:11 mark. B-W never led in the second half.
"It was a great day to be a Pioneer," VanderWal said.
Baldwin-Wallace 85, Marietta College 64
BEREA - Baldwin Wallace University scored the first 11 points of the game and never trailed as the Yellow Jackets defeated Marietta College 85-64 Saturday in women's basketball action. The Pioneers dropped to 8-5 overall and 2-4 in the Ohio Athletic Conference. Baldwin Wallace improved to 10-3 on the season and 5-1 in league play.
Despite shooting just 36 percent from the floor in the first half, Baldwin-Wallace was able to take advantage of 13 Pioneer turnovers to lead 42-25 at the half. The Yellow Jackets built a 29-point lead, 58-29, early in the second period and kept the margin above 20 for most of the half.
Tori Dixon led the Pioneers with 14 points. She needs 51 points to reach 1,000 in her career. Jordanna Rauch added nine points, while Dixon and freshman Lindsey Eckstein each had a game-high seven rebounds.
B-W was led by Audrey Smolik's 20 points. Lexi Rohrbach chipped in with 19 points and Shari Mangas added 11.

So in a sense it's about a few different elements. It's about these issues of, well, what's underneath. What are these parts of the city that we don't see?
You've got one fact here and another there, and then you've got the gap in between. And a lot of my work tends to be looking at these gaps in between. I've worked with weeds, which grow through cracks. And so I think it's that point:
. . . what is the fact? What's real?
Where does nature fit in?
Uprooted comprises two papier-mâché sets of roots hanging from the ceiling of CHF's Hach Gallery. The product of Katie Holten's longtime contemplation of trees, natural systems, and the "uprootedness" of the place of humans within current ecological crises, the piece draws attention both to what is usually unseen—the root systems of trees—and to the vast network of natural systems that we may take for granted.
Katie Holten is a visual artist whose work reflects on the relationship between humans and nature, as well as the investigation of life's systems and our understanding of place. She discussed Uprooted, her broader body of work, and the science of her art in an interview with CHF staff. Watch the clips above to hear about and see how she experiences her world.
Interested in finding Katie elsewhere in the world? Check out her website at katieholten.com.
Watch the four videos above: Katie Holten discusses how her drawings become installations; how Uprooted tackles the often overlooked; how scientists and aritsts can work together to communicate scientific issues; and how scientists and artists are more similar than they may appear at first glance.

I may not be Thomas Edison, but…
I have invented some pretty sweet things in my day
Hey friends and happy Hump Day! How does it feel to be half way done a wonderfully long week!? Who is looking forward to the weekend as much as me? I need another "homework weekend". Call me a nerd, but hey, the road to becoming a Registered Dietitian is a busy one! Full of traffic (or assignments, whatever).
I first need to thank you all for your support with my new evening snack It's nice to know I have bloggy friends already I also loved hearing about your favourite exercises Thanks for commenting!
So, I am not exactly what came over me today, but I felt extremely creative and invented a few things
Maybe I had extra brain power from all of the energy I was provided with from my protein yogurt last night??
My first invention was created at breakfast time. I was inspired by my outrageous craving for sushi (it has been a full 3 weeks since I have had sushi and I am going cray cray over here!)
Here is my first invention of the day: a wonderful topping option for your toast, english muffin, etc. featuring my favourite maki roll innards…
Avocado and Mango!
(2 Tbsp of ripe avocado smashed on a toasted english muffin topped with thinly sliced mango)
Too weird for you? Try it any way! Live by one of my favourite sayings: "You don't know until you try!"
This was outrageously tasty. I couldn't even contain myself. I may have started to sing and dance…
My second invention of the day does not involve food, but I should seriously patent this baby
After my celebratory song and dance sesh around my kitchen, I figured I should get ready for school, so I wouldn't have to go with bed head As I in the middle of straightening my hair I was beginning to get very frustrated; every time I set my straightener down on the counter it would sliiiiide in the direction of the cord and almost burn me. I am an extreme baby and knew I wouldn't be able to attend school if I got a burn from the hot stick, so I invented a very practical device that quite possible saved my skin from horrendous burns
I present to you…
The Hair Straightener Stabilizer!
How does it work!? Well, it's quite easy actually Simply take your toothpaste tube and press the end of your hair straightener into it It's like a memory foam for your hair straightener Genius? Yes? I thought so.
I have also become quite the professional marinade developer Maybe I'll be a Top Chef some day?
Or even better? The next Rachel Ray!
Watch for my face plastered all over pots and pans at a store near you
I can only dream…
For now I will just share my recipes and creations with all of you I have no problem with that!
Spicy Soy and Basil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 – 3 Tbsp Tabasco sauce
2 Tbsp basil (fresh or dried, but preferably fresh)
Melt in Your Mouth Chicken
1/2 cup red wine (or red wine vinegar, whatever you have on hand)
1 Tbsp dry mustard
1 – 2 Tbsp dill (fresh or dried, but preferably fresh)
Quick Stir-Fry Sauce
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp chilli garlic sauce
1/4 cup chopped green onions
I used all of these this week and all were exceptional I just toss stuff together, but I thought I would share because I know some people like to try different combo's I used the spicy soy basil with pork tenderloin, the chicken marinade with, you guessed it, chicken, and the quick stir-fry sauce with scallopini.
The rest of my day was pretty fab. It was full of great eats, a good library study sesh with my friend, warm weather, blueberry tea, and some X Factor (I currently have it on in the background). I didn't know how I would feel about this show. I was pretty critical of Simon and Paula creating a new show together, but it's actually pure amazement. I highly suggest you guys tune in and let your jaws drop at all of the breath-taking performances I think there is some serious talent on this show and will continue to watch it It's definitely not like watching Idol.
Do you follow a recipe for marinades or create your own?
What shows are you watching this season?
Who is your favourite chef? I love Jamie Oliver. I wish he was my hubby.
What a heart throb! Gorgeous and he can cook
Goodnight friends!

AURORA, Colo. (AP) -- Aurora Police say they jailed the man accused of briefly kidnapping an 8-year-old Aurora girl from her bedroom last week.
The Aurora Sentinel reports that the man was already in custody for an unrelated case (http://bit.ly/1auLvvp).
Twenty-six-year-old John Stanley Snorsky faces charges of kidnapping and burglary. He is currently being held in an Adams County jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.
Police say it was Snorsky who carried the girl from her bedroom to an alley behind her home, where she screamed and managed to break free.
He was arrested Tuesday morning in Aurora with the assistance of the state parole officials, who were investigating Snorsky for a potential parole violation. Police did not disclose what the previous case was nor the potential parole violation.

Sixth Man Accused In LulzSec Hacks
A sixth man has been charged with participating in cyber attacks allegedly carried out by "LulzSec," a globe-spanning collective of computer hackers who targeted government and corporate websites last year.
Jeremy Hammond, a Chicago man, was among six alleged computer hackers against whom prosecutors announced charges in March, but he was charged separately from other alleged members of LulzSec. At the time, prosecutors said he was a member of AntiSec, another hacking group.
In a new indictment returned Wednesday, prosecutors in Manhattan officially named Hammond, who allegedly went by the online names "Anarchaos," "POW" and "ghost," as a member of the LulzSec conspiracy, saying he participated in some of the group's hacking activities.
Elizabeth Fink, a lawyer for Hammond, declined comment, saying, "It's early days."
In the original complaint against Hammond, federal agents quoted online chats in which he allegedly called himself "a freegan goddess." Agents conducting surveillance of Hammond also said they saw him going into dumpsters to get food.
The criminal charges were brought in March after one of the alleged hackers, Hector Xavier Monsegur, turned government informant. According to court papers, Monsegur, known in hacking circles as "Sabu," became a cooperating witness after his arrest last June. He pleaded guilty to criminal charges in August.
Four other members of the alleged conspiracy are overseas.
LulzSec, or Lulz Security, initially justified its attacks as a form of alerting companies to poor security of their computer systems. But the group also said it was having fun, as typified by the "lulz" in its name, which is Internet slang for "laughing out loud."
The group formed last May and allegedly carried out a series of cyberattacks over a two-month period, including attacks on PBS, Sony, the U.S. Senate and the Atlanta chapter of InfraGard, an information sharing partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and private industry.
The new indictment on Wednesday also added an additional cyber attack on the website for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

NEW DELHI: A research unit of the ratings agency Moody's has said it was not sure if the Indian economy had bottomed out, and blamed the slowdown in investments on a 'disturbing antibusiness tinge' of the government.
"The days of 8% annual GDP growth in India are long gone," Glenn Levine, Senior Economist, Moody's Analytics said in a note on Wednesday pegging the growth in the first half of 2013 at 5%-6%. "India's growth rate has been steadily slowing for the past two years, and it is not yet clear whether the bottom has been reached," the report said taking a stand against the consensus that Indian economy reached its lowest in October-December quarter.

[Madamenoire] After years of believing that we should be waxing, shaving and douching our vaginas to make them more pleasant and attractive, it appears many women are now buying into the fact that their vagina should also appear as untouched as they once originally were. Many women are now taking a step beyond the title of "born again virgin" and seeking out invasive surgery so that they physically resemble an actual virgin. "Hymenoplasty" or "Hymen Reconstruction Surgery" is surgical reconstruction of the hymen. The hymen is a thin layer of mucous membrane that covers the vagina. Although the hymen is usually broken during a woman's first act of sexual intercourse, in actuality the hymen is so thin that it can be broken by a variety of activities including the insertion of items into the vagina such as tampons or even something as simple as riding a bike. Maybe it's the feminist in me, but our vaginas are lovely and amazing, and have to bear the trauma of many lifetime events, with childbirth and lovemaking being the best of them. From those events comes beauty which has been occurring naturally since the beginning of time. Maybe it's best to love our love below exactly the way it is.
If you're a chick and you don't shave your pubic hair, have fun not getting your pussy licked by any living thing on God's green earth. Maybe Scrody would eat you out with a bush, married dudes will do just about anything. If don't shave your national park, logic dictates it cant be a treasure. I was trying to make a Parks and Recreation reference, but I have only watched like 3 episodes, so I hope I hit the mark, funny show. Anyways, there could be only one of two reasons you don't mow your Forrest, 1. you're a fucking foreigner straight off the boat, or 2 you have a diseased pussy that looks a before picture from a proactive infomercial. I mean. I guess if you're a nasty butch dike that fucks other nasty butch dikes, that wouldn't count. I am taking about chicks that are hot. Ugly chicks should just commit suicide, no man will ever love you.
P.S. Landing strips are awesome, you better believe I make airplane noises when I am going to eat some pussy
P.S. one of my boys sent me an email saying I shouldn't write blogs, told him I don't write blogs, I fucking create masterpieces

Top Stories from Thailand: Flood Watch
Here is a roundup of news on the floods from newspapers in Thailand , news wires and websites on Friday, Nov. 4, 2011. The Wall Street Journal hasn't verified these stories and doesn't vouch for their accuracy.
Many city canals 'illegally blocked': Close inspection has uncovered that many structures have been built illegally on 26 waterways in eastern Bangkok, leading to estuaries being redirected or blocked altogether – one of the key reasons why it is taking so long to drain the floods, the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry said yesterday. (Source: The Nation)
More industry at risk: Lat Krabang Industrial Estate, in the east of Bangkok, will be swamped by floods if rapidly advancing runoff cannot be drained quickly enough. Somchet Thinaphong, chairman of the board of the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, yesterday urged the Flood Relief Operations Command (Froc) to speed the drainage of runoff threatening the estate or it would be flooded by overflow from the Saen Saep canal. (Source: Bangkok Post)
New southern route needed: The government should prepare alternative routes of transport and logistics to the South as Rama II Road is expected to be flooded within three days, Seri Supparathit, a Rangsit University expert on natural disasters, said yesterday. The northern runoff has already passed Khlong Phasi Charoen in Bang Kae district and was about 5km from Rama II Road, which is one of the major roads linking Bangkok and the southern region, he said. (Source: Bangkok Post)
An ocean of cancellations: Thailand's worst flooding in decades has affected every industry and the entertainment business is no exception. That old adage, the show must go on, doesn't apply in this case, especially now that Bangkok has also been hit by the floods and residents of several districts have been told to evacuate. With many venues facing the uncertainty of flooding, almost all events scheduled until early December have either been cancelled or postponed. (Source: The Nation)
Deadly snake 'escape' to be investigated: Two major wildlife bodies are investigating whether reports that deadly green mamba snakes had escaped from a flooded house are a hoax. The probe follows a report on Wednesday from social networking site Facebook, claiming that 15 snakes had escaped from a house in Nonthaburi's Pak Kret disctrict, that was creating panic and fear among flood victims in flood-hit provinces Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Pathum Thani. (Souce: Bangkok Post)

San Francisco's We Players truly believes that all the world is a stage.
Each year in the fall, the company performs a classic work, but not within the confines of a theater. Instead, We Players takes its show on the road to such iconic San Francisco Bay settings as Alcatraz ("Hamlet") and Angel Island ("The Odyessy"). Theatergoers tag along as the actors perform the works throughout the locale, making it a very different "stage" experience and earning the group a devoted following.
This year, We Players is staging Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in another unique setting: Fort Point, the Civil War era fortress under the Golden Gate Bridge. Last weekend, Bay Area News Group photographer Karl Mondon was on hand for one of the preview performances.
"Macbeth" is now in regular performances, through Oct. 6. Tickets are $30-$60 and available at 415-547-0189 or www. weplayers.org.

Panasonic's 3-D TV, Only for Japan
Sometimes Japanese consumers' taste is so unique that when companies launch a new product it ends up being the first of its kind in the world.
Take Panasonic for example. The Japanese electronics giant unveiled on Wednesday what it claims is the world's first 3-D television that can record 3-D content on a built-in hard drive and Blu-ray disc. Panasonic has no plans to sell the new multi-function 3D-TV overseas, says Hiroyuki Iwaki, a general manager of Panasonic's TV business unit.
"Outside Japan, there's not much demand for this," he says.
Many Japanese regularly record TV shows on their DVDs or Blu-ray discs and keep them. That makes Japan a major market for DVD and Blu-ray recorders as well as recordable Blu-ray discs. By contrast, there's little demand for such devices in the U.S. where viewers can easily find many TV shows on demand or on the Web. The U.S. market is mostly limited to Blu-ray players without recording functions.
"The concept of on-demand programs is not that common in Japan yet so people won't stop recording TV shows any time soon," says Hiroshi Sakai, an analyst at SMBC Friend Research Center in Tokyo.
Panasonic estimates that Japan will account for nearly 90% of the world's demand for Blu-ray recorders this year. Last month, 303,000 recorders were shipped in Japan, up 33% from a year earlier, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. Panasonic expects that about 20% of all TV sets purchased in Japan this year will carry some form of built-in recording function, be it hard drive, Blu-ray or both.
The Japanese company, which makes everything from washing machines to rechargeable batteries, already sells a two-dimensional version of the "all-in-one" TV carrying a hard drive and built-in Blu-ray recorder. The new 3-D version is a logical next step since Panasonic believes 3-D is set to become a stable feature on many large TVs in the country.
The all-in-one 3-D TV — the 3-D Viera RT2B — will hit store shelves on August 27. The 42-inch model is expected to sell for around 390,000 yen (US$4,504), while the 46-inch model will retail for 440,000 yen (US$5,081).

For the past five years as Director of Entertainment Relations at Jimmy Choo, Sara Riff has ensured that the red carpets around the globe are dominated by the London-born brand. Besides kicking ass at her job, she gives her husband (creator of one of our favorite shows, How To Make It In America) some advice in the aesthetic department. Her closet is absolutely banging. She's the definition of a "high-low" dresser (nothing beats a Lanvin x H&M dress with a sexy JC stiletto) and she's the first to admit that her favorite color is leopard print. Don't believe us? Check out her obsessive Louis Vuitton scarf collection and her Choo sneakers. But, what's her favorite part of the job? "I love working with so many of the talented stylists that you will soon be featuring (on your site) and during crazy award season playing a small role in creating gorgeous red carpet moments that inspire millions of people watching the awards from all over the world". Her pup, Lola, also joined in on the action. Now, if only they made Choos in puppy sizes…
