I do not wish to be a further distraction to the team or University and I will no longer serve as a volunteer at UNC. I wish Larry and the program nothing but success going forward."

We were ok with the Palm Beach store closing when the home office frooze our membership until a new store would open.
The problem has come in that the new store is now open. My wife researched and selected an entertainment center for our new TV. We did find that Direct Buy was going to save us money and so my wife faxed the order to the Direct Buy location on Sept 27. Our membership was to run out at 12 midnight Sept 30. Now you would think that the order would be forwarded on Monday or Tuesday, however, they sat on it until Wednesday and then called my wife to tell her that our membership had expired and she would have to renew in order to place the order. Heres the really bummer part. It would cost me more then the $159 to get a lawyer involved for breach of contract on Direct Buy's behalf, but clearly this is breach of contract. We will never work with Direct Buy again.

False: OPM means Other People's Money.
Why use your more of your own money then you have to when others will lend you theirs at current historical low rates? Take the same money you have and spread it over 2 or 3 projects instead of just one and maximize profits.
Lesson I remember my dad teaching me years ago on why JP didn't own his stores, with the amount of money it took to buy and open a supermarket, he could lease and open 3 supermarkets, and guess which would make him more money.
You bet, Joe. Why use your own, except if you have a mega-monster cash pile like bcIMC. And come to think of it, their money is actually Other People's Money — namely pension funds.

My dd was born May 8th and has been sleeping in bed with me since she was about 2 weeks old. She is rolling so much now and I keep waking to her sooooo close to me or actually touching me. I am overweight(I wear a size 14 or 16)and am scared to rolll on top of her. Is it time for a crib? How can I sleep without being afraid she will fall off the edge of the bed or get crushed?! Please help I love cosleeping but love her being safe more...

Posted 10/03/2012
Our lo is 7 mos old & has slept w/ us since coming home. I shrunk back down quickly but so is over weight. We side cared our mini crib. It gives us plenty of extra space even though lo is in bed w/ is I don't worry about him rolling off from the bed or getting trapped between the bed & the wall. I feel safe when lo is on my side or between so & myself. We have a pretty good mattress so lo doesn't really roll into either of us. Sorry, I feel like I'm babbling. Good luck.
Posted 10/03/2012
If you have the space, I would suggest using an Arms Reach co-sleeper for the next month or two. We used one until my daughter was about eight months old (she was little), and then we moved her into bed with us. At that time, she was very capable of moving around more so we weren't worried about rolling over on her etc. Also, by about 9-10 months, we lowered our mattress and taught her how to get on and off the bed. We got tired of always being worried that she'd roll off the bed, so that solved that problem! We love co-sleeping, too, so you just find the solutions that work for you! Lastly, if you have the space, the idea of side-carring a crib to your side of the bed is a great one!

After a shock first round KO loss to Neil Dawson in December 2012, Conquest bounced back with wins over Czech David Vicena and a superb comeback against Wadi Camacho in October in an eliminator for the British title. The Romford fighter has been training hard out of the PRO SW Gym in Loughton under the tutelage of coach Jason Rowland, hoping an opportunity would crop up. Now he's got the nod for the biggest fight of his career, it's like Christmas has come twice for Conquest.
"I heard whispers that Nathan Cleverly was slated to fight Ammann or the Commonwealth belt but he is taking a different route back now, so I have jumped the ladder," Conquest told BoxRec News. "I redeemed myself in 2013 after the Dawson loss late in 2012 and my promoters have seen fit to look after me and get me this title fight.
"This is brilliant news for me and now the fight has been announced I cannot wait to get in the ring come February 22nd. I've had a look at Ammann and he is a decent southpaw who does the basics very well, so it's going to be a good fight."
Last time out, Conquest handed Wadi Camacho his first defeat, earning a unanimous decision over ten rounds after hitting the canvas in the 1st and 2nd. The Camacho fight was billed as a British title eliminator, so if everything goes to plan, Tony is right up the pecking order to face the winner of Jon-Lewis Dickinson versus Neil Dawson, which takes place on March 8th in Gateshead.
"If Dawson wins the title from Dickinson then hopefully I can kill two birds with one stone and overturn the loss against him. I like to think that I would be next in line for a shot at the British title, but you also have to factor in English champion Matty Askin who is deserving his shot too. What I have learned from the Boxing business is you never know what's going to happen next."

Pinball Pro
- December 3, 2015
( 257,203)
Top Developer
Pinball Pro is #1 pinball game for your Android phone and features exact recreations of the all-time greatest pinball tables.
How to Play:
Game Features:
This game sets a new standard for realistic ball physics and graphical detail in pinball video games. You will be stunned with the level of realism and cutting-edge visuals.
How to Play:
- Press and hold anywhere to launch a new ball
- Touch right or left side to control flips
Game Features:
- 5 Innovative Table: Classic, Lucky Stones, Lucky Wheel, Carnival, Chrismas
- Visually stunning graphics
- Unique soundtrack with atmospheric music, sound effects
- The most advanced ball physics
Slow paddles I've only just downloaded this game and have only played one table which looked like it could be a fun table only I couldn't really play it because the paddles were so slow that every single ball I lost the minute it got to the bottom of the table all because no matter when I tried to time the slow paddles they either wouldn't flip at all or did so after the ball had gone past. I will keep this game in the hope that an upgrade will fix this issue then I will re-rate it, until then I'll download another game
A great set of pinball games. These games are nice on a phone but even better on a tablet. My scores are better since I moved these games to my tablet as other phone functions are not always being knocked on. This app is the lightest download for these games. An update is needed to fix limpness in flippers, especially the left bottom flipper that tends to stick in upward position.
Grab The Classic Too! This is by far considered a higher-maintenance of an application and won't you agree when the bumpers make contact with the silver & 'shiny' metal ball. A remarkable job you and your team have accomplished. Be sure to check out The Classic version and compare, remarkable!
Alexa This would be a great game, but the petals are very sensitive. If your not right on top of them, the game will restart, close down on you while your in the middle of playing or it will stop to ask you if you want to resume. If your a girl and have a little bit of nails, forget it! Other then that, it's good.
It's a decent game, not an accurate representation by any means. While it is interesting to look at- flashing lights, hidden areas across different boards, and the like- the ball sometimes acts strangely. It moves too quickly up the board, while at the same time moving too slowly down the board. While it may be a good distraction for the kids, I personally didn't find it very entertaining, at least not for long.
I used to play Pinball a lot when I was a little kid on either the pinball machines at the pub when I went there with my father, or on the old computers/laptops. I like this game and the fact that everything is free on there, but I do have one suggestion and that suggestion is... please make it so that you can change the colour and or style of the pinball with the points that you earn and please make different and maybe harder Pinball tables. Playing the same sort of Pinball tables over and over again can get pretty boring. Other than that, I like the game and the concept of it as well. :)
What's New
v2.0: Fixed some minor bugs in the last update. Thanks.

Mind = blown. That pretty much sums up my thoughts on this book. Before I Go to Sleep is mystery/thriller that will literally keep you guessing until the very end.
Christine is a middle aged woman who wakes each morning a blank slate. I don't mean this in the self help "every day is a new day" sort of way. She literally is a blank slate, she has no memories. As a result of a horrific tragedy 20+ years ago, Christine has a very rare form of amnesia in which she can retain no memories. Most days she wakes believing she is in her early twenties, other days she believes she is still a child. Each morning her husband Ben patiently talks her through her past tragedy, explains her diagnosis, and attempts to provide clarity and reassurances with family pictures and scrapbooks documenting their marriage and life together. At the urging of a psychologist, Dr. Nash who is bent on assisting Christine in retrieving her memories, or at the very least, begin to retain new ones, she begins keeping a journal every day. Over the course of several weeks, Christine reconnects with (what she believes is) a dear friend, Claire, and learns that the "accident" resulting in her condition may not have been an accident at all, but may be the result of something much more sinister. Christine isn't sure what is truth and what is lie, who she can trust and who she can't (including her own mind) but she must make sense of it all, before it's too late (sounds ominous, I know).
This book had me guessing the ENTIRE time. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I was thrown a curveball. I oscillated between thinking each of the three supporting characters in Christine's story had nefarious intentions, then changing my mind...again....and again. Having such an unreliable main character really made trying to figure out "who dun it" that much more difficult and made the ending that much more spectacular. I definitely recommend this read if you are into mystery/thrillers, it won't disappoint!
Every morning Christine wakes up in a strange bed beside a strange man. She views herself as a party girl so when she sees his wedding ring, she thinks she got drunk and went home with a married man. When she looks in the mirror she sees the face a an older woman, not the mid-twenties woman she feels like inside. She tries to remember how she ended up there but soon realizes she can't remember anything. Her past is a mystery.
The stranger introduces himself as Ben, her husband of twenty years. He tells her that every morning he wakes up to a woman who can't remember anything, including him or their life together. He explains this every day and also puts notes around the bathroom mirror to remind her throughout the day what to do and how to reach him. Chris is also contacted by Dr Edmund Nash, a neuro psychologist, who also calls every day to tell her where to find her journal. When she starts to read it, the very first sentence she sees is "Don't trust Ben".
Before I Go to Sleep is divided into three parts, all narrated by Christine. Part One introduces the reader to the premise. Part Two is filled with Christine's journal entries. Part Three is what happens after she's finished reading her journal. The author did a wonderful job of relaying Christine's anxiety to us through her journals. She lets us know how terrifying it must be to wake up each day with no memories of the previous day. This is a complex, well written and suspenseful novel. I didn't realize it had been made into a movie so I might check it out. I'm usually disappointed in those after enjoying the book, so maybe it's better if I skip it.
This was incredible, even if I did see some of it coming... Well written and chilling. The ending is good technically but I really still want to know what happened the next morning.. regardless of how you feel about a book, whether you adore it or it makes you angry, it has made you feel. That is good literature.
This is a book about a woman who had an accident and each day she wakes up and can't remember her life. As I've been reading this I kept thinking I had read it before. Not until 10 pages left in the book I realized that I had. I didn't think I had read it yet because surely I would have added it to my read books for 2011. But I see I have only added 15 of the 100 books I read that year. I'm not mad I read this again as it is a good book. It keep me guessing the entire time. Is Ben her husband? Is Dr. Nash really who he says he is? Is that really Claire? And what did happen to Christine. I'm not going to give too much details because you will have to read it yourself to know what is going on. It is a good read and makes you wonder what it's like to have this problem. How would I deal with it? Give it a try.
"What are we, if not an accumulation of our memories?" wonder Christine Lucas. Due to trauma, she has lost both her long-term and her short-term memory. She awakens every morning not knowing anything about herself. She is surprised by the age of the woman looking back at her from the mirror, surprised by the man in her house who introduces himself every morning as her husband Ben, surprised by the doctor who calls her every morning to tell her where she has hidden her journal and that she needs to read it. It is through her journal that we begin to piece together her story. And the first line in the journal reads "Don't trust Ben."
A little bit slow to start, this was an otherwise superb read! Christine makes a wonderfully unreliable narrator. It had me guessing until the end who was or wasn't trustworthy as well as what was happening with her.
What if you woke up every morning, confused and lost? What if the body you woke up in was not the body you remember going to sleep in? What if you were oblivious to the events of the last 30 years of your life? Memories are what define all of us as people. But when you wake up, tangled in lies, visions and fleeting images of memories that seem to dark and fiction to seem real, how do you make sense of that?
Welcome to the life of Christine Lucas, a middle aged woman suffering from extreme amnesia, who has no memory of what happened in her life for her past 30 years. When she sleeps, her memory melts away, like snow on a spring day.
The highly acclaimed, internationally best seller is truly a suspenseful, interesting and gripping book that will keep you entertained for all 356 pages of it. For lovers of Mysteries, this is a must read book, and I highly recommend it to everybody.
What if you woke up every morning, confused and lost, and unfamiliar with your own reflection in the mirror? What would you do when you wake up, tangled in lies, visions and fleeting images of memories that seem to dark and fiction to seem real?
Welcome to the life of Christine Lucas, a victim of an unsettling accident leaving her unable to retain memories for longer than 24 hours. When she sleeps, her memory melts away, like snow on a spring day. Keeping a diary of her daily events, she fits the pieces of her life puzzle together; she reaches a disturbing conclusion.
The Journal style format of this book creates a truly unique style of writing, one that truly pulls you into the struggles of Christine's daily life. The narration gives the reader a striking insight into the daily battle of discovering her identity. However, the style of daily journal entries can make the book slow at parts, but much like a roller coaster, it is all simply preparation for the plunge of excitement.
For lovers of mysteries and psychological thrillers, this is a must read book. However, I still highly recommend it to everybody. The sudden flashbacks, the distorted images and the faint impression that things are not at all what they seem. This book will make you rethink all of your unclear memories; it will keep you extremely entertained.
The ending feels hurried; a sentimental postscript to the meticulously plotted main event. But these are minor gripes. Before I Go to Sleep is an enjoyable and impressive first novel. Like the best of its thematic predecessors, it is also an affecting moral allegory: don't forget your loved ones. Or else.
The most unnerving aspect of Before I Go to Sleep is the way it is rooted in the domestic, the suburban, the trivial. Forget whizz-bang futurism: it proceeds from ordinary life in tiny, terrifying steps, and is all the better for it.
Watson's pitch-perfect writing propels the story to a frenzied climax that will haunt readers long after they've closed the cover on this remarkable book.

Editor's Note: Harvard Business School professor John Quelch writes a blog on marketing issues, called Marketing Know: How, for Harvard Business Online. It is reprinted on HBS Working Knowledge.Many dismiss marketing as manipulative, deceptive, and intrusive. Marketing, they argue, focuses too much of our attention on material consumption. More recently, Benjamin Barber, in his 2007 book Consumed, claims that marketing is "sucking up the air from every other domain to sustain the sector devoted to consumption." He is correct. Coca-Cola, Nike, and Starbucks command more loyalty among many consumers than any political party, trade union, church, or mosque. Indeed, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz sought to make his coffee shops the "third place" in our lives, after home and work. Marketing is an American success story. No country on earth is better at marketing than the United States. The latest Interbrand listing of the most valuable global brands reveals seven American brands in the top ten and sixty in the top hundred, more than twice the expected numbers based on the United States' command of 28 percent of the world economy.
"In most product categories in most countries, there are strong local brands reflecting local tastes that coexist alongside global brands."Marketing by producers to consumers is as old as the bazaar. But modern marketing is more than just selling. It involves the design of products and services in response to consumer needs, latent or explicit. It involves branding these products and services, communicating their benefits to intermediaries and end consumers, and distributing them. All of these activities involve value creation. In return, producers extract value through the prices they set in the marketplace. The advent of commercial radio and, after World War II, commercial television enabled marketers to drive home the benefits of their national brands and to announce quickly the launch of new products and services to a nationwide audience. The willingness of producers to build their brands through advertising supported the emergence of a diverse array of media for the American consumer to enjoy. Moreover, these investments in marketing attracted talented businesspeople into the marketing field. Best practices in marketing were documented so its effectiveness improved over time.
Why Marketing Developed In The U.s.By the 1960s, American brands had benefited from so much cumulative investment in marketing that they were unquestionably the strongest brands in the world. There were three reasons why marketing developed in the United States ahead of Europe. First, the sheer size of the U.S. demanded it. Second, the ambitions of American inventors and entrepreneurs demanded the broadest possible distribution. The Wal-Mart mission, for example, is to lower the cost of living for everyone everywhere. Third, American society was open to marketing while, in Europe, business or "trade" was viewed as less worthy a profession. Marketing in the United States benefited mightily from the endorsement of management guru Peter Drucker, who famously stated: "Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two—and only these two—basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs." Warren Buffett, America's most celebrated investor, has religiously invested in companies with strong brand names such as Coca-Cola and American Express. To this day, the proportion of company chief executives who have risen through the marketing ranks is much higher in the United States than Europe. The marketers at Wal-Mart, Google, and Lenovo are in the best tradition of Henry Ford and his Model T. They seek to democratize access to their products by bringing good quality to the mass market at an affordable price. And not just the domestic mass market, the global mass market. In his landmark 1983 article "The Globalization of Markets," Harvard Business School's Theodore Levitt wrote of "the one great thing all markets have in common is an overwhelming desire for dependable, world-standard modernity in all things, at aggressively low prices." With the fall of communism in the 1980s and 1990s, American brands, ambitious, confident, and flush with capital soon established beachheads in the emerging economies. Local consumers, long denied access to Western brands and often victims of shoddy local imitations, were quick to try and adopt the former forbidden fruit. Was this democratization of access to American brands a Trojan horse for American cultural imperialism? No. In most product categories in most countries, there are strong local brands reflecting local tastes that coexist alongside global brands. Retailing and distribution remain largely local. And American consumers show a desire for increasing cultural variety in their life experiences, eating more often at ethnic restaurants and vacationing more often in faraway places. In many categories, increased global demand drove costs and retail prices down, prompting global production to shift to economies with lower input costs. The manufacture of personal computer components is now concentrated in Asia and manufacturers are constantly seeking to drive costs lower still in order to hit retail price points that will enable additional millions of poor people to buy in. As prices have fallen, Asian brands such as Asus and Acer of Taiwan have gained share while IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo.
"Critics of marketing tend to overestimate the level of intentional deception and the vulnerability of consumers."In addition to globalization, a second force enabling marketing to bring good quality to the masses is technology. Today, the Internet, supported like most of the diverse media that preceded it by brand advertising rather than subscription, is further democratizing access to markets. The ability of consumers to compare prices over the web irons out cross-border price differences and expands trade. A poor farmer in India can check commodity prices on the Internet before he sells his crop to the local buyer. Thanks to a progressive decline in data processing and storage costs, technology now enables marketers to offer consumers much more choice including the ability to tailor solutions to individual needs at only slightly greater cost. American Express and Harrah's Entertainment, both heavy investors in IT, now tailor their marketing communications to the buying patterns or sales potential of tightly defined consumer segments or, indeed, of individual consumers.

Guest Book
These two rare and superb carved wooden panels are French, and date to the late Gothic period, circa 1590-1680 A.D. These pieces are a matching pair, although they have slight differences. Both of these carved panels are approximately 7.8 inches wide by 17.75 inches high, and are mounted in frames that are approximately 11.75 inches wide by 28 inches high. These outer frames date circa 1800-1850, and were the mounting for the inner carved panels. The two panels offered here, along with several additional panels, are also thought to have been originally set into a private manor house in Normandy. The bulk of these panels were sold at auction in San Francisco, CA., by Butterfield & Butterfield Co. in June 1996. Many of these panels, which were religious in nature, were identified as being produced by artisans who were employed in the area of Coutances, France, where the massive 13th century Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame was built. The panels seen here were finely carved and have great detail, and the condition of both panels offered here is exceptional. These two panels each display two caryatids that are seen back to back, and are carved in high relief. The caryatids were known in antiquity as the priestesses of Artemis at Caryae, and were often seen as a draped female figure that supported an entablature. The figures seen on these two panels are part lion, with the lion's paw feet, part bird, with the detailed feathered wings, and part woman, with the female breasts and faces. The raised hair comb and luxuriant wavy hair is very detailed as well, and is an excellent mark that the artist that carved these pieces was very skilled. Ex: Private French collection, circa 1930's. Ex: Private CA. collection. (Note: Additional documentation is available to the purchaser.) I certify that these pieces are authentic as to date, culture, and condition:

I sure won't argue with Mr. Drucker, but after 30 years of consulting in performance technology let me add a corollary, "You better measure the right things or you'll get the wrong results." In this blog I'm going to step out of Peter's realm and step over to something he could only imagine, the realm of measuring customer engagement on the internet.

Holy #$%$, glad I only own 2k shares of this thing. Bought for the great long term investment record but based on today's report 2012 was basically awful relative to the industry.
i am not seeing the "awful." Please show me a specific quote in the earnings report.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
awful might have been a little hyperbolic but BV has dropped 10% over the past few quarters while most BDCs are seeing flat to higher books . . . at this stage of a bull market where credit is flowing like good whiskey on Saturday night you should not be booking bad loans at all, esp. when they were unwritten just a few quarters earlier
Hey my friend, long time no talk to!
When you gonna stop dabbling in these so called "cheap" BDC's?
Most of them are cheap for a reason.
u b correct . . . but RC HRZN did have a GREAT long term track record prior to coming out in 2010 . . . didn't have a single credit loss during the crisis . . . now aoparently they suck

Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7: Palak Eliminated; Weekend Highlights In Pictures!
Kiku Sharda, popularly called as Palak, from Comedy Nights With Kapil, got eliminated from the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7.
Kiku Sharda, who contested in his on-screen avatar from the Kapil Sharma show Comedy Nights.. - Palak, was voted safe by the viewers for her entertaining performances until now. Recently, when Salman Khan graced the show Palak was taken away by him leaving her alter ego Kiku Sharda to enter the show.
With the competition getting hotter by the week, contestants are giving all they have got to their performances. The results are quite evident in the substantial growth in standards in each of the performances. But looks like Kiku Sharda's dance hasn't matched up to the mark of others since he has gained the least number of votes and is eliminated from the show.
Previous week the show had RJ Malishka getting eliminated and this week Kiku. With the week links eliminated, the competition between the stronger competitors has geared up.
The episode had Emraan Hashmi promoting his upcoming film Raja Natwarlal on the show and will also be seen romancing Madhuri Dixit. Also, the episode is graced by Gutthi (Sunil Grover). another popular character from Comedy Nights With Kapil.
Here are all the highlights of the performances on Jhalak DIkhhla Jaa 7 this week.

I left my minivan at Ziebart for "Complete Interior, Exterior Detailing" and Window Tint. I got price from another place for window tint for $160 with more options, color etc., Ziebart, Syracuse gave me $199 pricing. I visited their website and I printed $25 value coupon and I thought that since I will be also getting "Complete Interior, Exterior Detailing", there will be no mess in my minivan if the tint films are installed by the Ziebart. They also promised me a warranty documents for a life time warranty of the films against shading, peeling, air bubbles etc. Over all, tint was going to cost me $175 and my minivan will have a new car look and smell with their completer interior and exterior detailing.
Part-2 Wake Up Call
I went back to Ziebart to pick my minivan at the same day after the work. First I checked the "complete detailing" part. [continued below]....
How about tint?
The same lady who promised me a very professional work and having a life time warranty with them on the phone said "-I didn't say such a thing". There were air bubbles and dust particles under the film and they told me it will go away in about a week; I don't think that will happen. Plus they didn't accept the $25 coupon saying that tint was done with a promotion price. Just ripoff.
I will never go to their shop for their services and I don't recommend anybody who wants to get these kind of services through them. They stole my money not fulfilling their promises. Please be aware and record your conversations with them, and don't pay without getting the promised services, because they just will reject them once you paid them. Don't get hurt!

My interest rate was 15% my payment was to high I thought for the money that we were making at the time, I was told that I could get a lower interest rate in six months.
We could not get the lower rate, so we continued to try to make the $1452 payment which included both of us having a part time job.
We lost our part time jobs, and no one would return my calls regarding lowering my payments, we eventually got behind and then the telephone calls started.
I was harrassed at work and so were my coworkers whoever answered the phone would be harrassed they would call me on Sundays but no one could tell me why my bills were not paid but they wanted me to pay them.
I refused to pay until I was satisfied that my bills had been taken care of, which they could not do.
Our house is in forclosure and was to be sold until my lawyer informed them that I had major complaints about this loan and the fact that there is false information on the papers and I found out that my salary was changed to show that I made more money than I did.
This company is the leader in predatory lenders, I have had to move out of my home my credit is gone. I refuse to let them get away with this. I have contacted my lawyer and I am now trying to find out if there is a class action suit against Conseco so that I can put my name on the list.
I have read enough complaints on this site alone to know that I am not the only one they have done this to. If there is anyone that knows of a class action suit against them for predatory lending please let me know, I will be filing my own complaint with everyone that will listen.

By Megan Locke Simpson, Fort Campbell CourierMay 30, 2012
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (May 30, 2012) -- Exemplary leadership is a key aspect of military service, and one former Secretary of State Colin Powell learned while 2nd Brigade commander at Fort Campbell in 1976.
He visited Fort Campbell Wednesday for the first time since retiring as a part of a tour promoting his newly-released book, "It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership," co-written with Tony Koltz.
The book explores leadership through a series of parables from Powell's own life, drawing heavily from his military career and time as the 65th Secretary of State in George W. Bush's administration. The book chronicles experiences from his upbringing in Harlem to the now-famous Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction speech he delivered to the United Nations in 2003.
"It has a lot of Campbell stories in it," Powell said about the book, in an interview at McAuliffe Hall. "I was really quite surprised how many times I reflected back to my experience here at Fort Campbell and the 101st."
While post looks different now, with simulation centers and even a dog-grooming store much to Powell's surprise, the lessons in leadership that the Army provides are still readily available for young Soldiers looking to progress as he did.
"The only part [of post] that I truly recognize is the wooden barracks where the 2nd Brigade used to be," Powell said of Fort Campbell. "We went to look at the housing area where we lived -- it's gone. The house is gone. I used to live at 1560 Cole Park … right down the hill from the log cabin where the General, CG, used to live."
A Soldier for 35 years, Powell said it's most important to take care of your troops -- because then they'll take care of you and help you succeed.
"The underlying theme that I think Soldiers will enjoy reading about, young officers and noncommissioned officers, is the importance of building bonds of trust between leaders and followers," he explained. "For leaders to understand that they are of no use unless they have followers. You're not a leader without followers."
However, Powell said these military leadership stories can be translated to civilian populations easily as well. He regularly speaks to corporate groups who are eager to apply these principles.
"You have to set the example as a leader," he said. "You have to display confidence. You have to convey intensity and passion to what you're doing."
Throughout his career, which included a stint as National Security Advisor and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Powell said many people helped to shape his view of good leadership. Many of these men came from the Screaming Eagles, including Gen. John A. Wickham, who went on to serve as U.S. Army Chief of Staff from 1983-1987.
"When I was here at Campbell, there were a lot of people to admire," Powell said. "General Wickham was my division commander. It was the first time I had ever really worked for him … He was a mentor for me, not only here at Campbell, but for the rest of my career."
Others, such as then-Brig. Gen. Weldon C. "Tiger" Honeycutt and former 101st Airborne Division Chief of Staff Ted "Wild Turkey" Crozier, are colorfully remembered in Powell's books during a time just after the Vietnam War when the Army began to change from a male-dominated establishment to an increasingly more Family-friendly environment.
"You got to have a character like Tiger around," Powell said. "We learned a lot from him about being tough, but fair."
This is the second book release for Powell, after his autobiographical "My American Journey" sold record numbers in 1995. Many of the hundreds of people gathered Wednesday afternoon at the Post Exchange for the signing remember his first book and look forward to reading about the insights Powell provides in his latest effort.
"For one, most of his books talk about his leadership," said Master Sgt. Terrence Reyes, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, 159th Combat Aviation Brigade. "If you want to stay in the military, or even if you become a civilian, why not learn how to improve yourself?"
With some of those at the signing eagerly reading while waiting, it was evident Powell still speaks to Soldiers, Family members and retirees of all ages.
"I'm really enjoying it," said Evie King, a 526th Brigade Support Battalion spouse. "I'm not all the way through, but it definitely makes you want to turn the pages."
"It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership" begins by discussing "Thirteen Rules" for leaders, such as "Share credit" and "Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision." Powell said he enjoyed crafting this book over a period of several years, and he's happy with the way it turned out.
"Some people wanted me to write a regular political memoir … but I didn't feel like writing that because they only last a few weeks and then they're gone," he said. "Each story has a little profundity to it … I wrote it to be short, interesting, and hopefully people get something out of it."
