Earlier this year Twitter announced a partnership with American Express to make their self-serve advertising platform available to a limited number of small businesses. We signed up for SocialMediaB2B.com because access to Twitter's advertising platform previously has been limited to those with big budgets. This leaves out many B2B companies. We offer this preview of what Twitter's advertising platform looks like, so you can explore the option of promoted accounts and promoted tweets with the knowledge of how the platform works. Choose a target and a budget, and Twitter does the rest. Click on each image to enlarge it and view in new tab.
Welcome Screen
Geographic Targeting
Select where your target audience is located. You can break this down by country or metropolitan area. I looked at Google Analytics and Facebook Insights to determine top countries for the SocialMediaB2B audience.
Promoted Account
Select a daily amount to spend on promoting your account to relevant people. Twitter will charge you a variable amount for each new follower. Many B2B companies have successfully used promoted accounts to grow their followers to increase the reach of their content.The amount entered is not a recommendation, but is just for example purposes.
Promoted Tweets
Select a daily amount to spend on promoting your most engaging tweets to relevant people. Twitter will charge you a variable amount for each click. Twitter will only promote existing tweets, and their algorithm chooses the more popular ones, based on retweets and clicks. The amount entered is not a recommendation, but is just for example purposes.
Payment Information
And finally, you have to pay for all of this. In the case of this example, I am required to use my American Express card since they sponsored the promotion. Once this is fully rolled out, there will be other payment options.
Have you considered Twitter advertising for your B2B company?

as long as there was no Hannah Montana involved you're golden :}ReplyDelete
This makes me so happy to know that a very crafty talented mama did store bought V's. That is what we have over here :)ReplyDelete
I ordered valentines....online. Didn't even go to the store. =)ReplyDelete
I got valentines in the mail yesterday from my niece and nephew - they were storebought, but it didn't make them any less cute! :)ReplyDelete
I'm right there with you! It's the thought that counts, right? I don't think the kids will have any guilt. :)ReplyDelete
Not only did we do store bought this year but we're not even adding candy to them. My kids thought I was the meanest mom in the world when I told them that.ReplyDelete
since when do you watch star wars???and quote it???ReplyDelete
We got Tangled ones this year! $3.77 AND with glitter tattoos?ReplyDelete
I couldn't beat that with homemade (in a 4 year olds eyes)
Last year we spent hours and hours making hand-made valentines cards for my girls to take to school - but when we went through the ones they received from their friends every single one was store-bought. It was a little discouraging. I went out and bought Valentines cards at the 50% off table at Wal-Mart. Oh well.ReplyDelete

i do not watch star wars or know any quotes from the movie.
look closely, it's the quote on caedmon's valentine.
thank you. i needed that. because i did the same and i was feeling really guilty and sad?! now i feel better! haha!ReplyDelete
my son even asked me NOT to do something with his picture or some clever phrase on it this year and i STILL am struggling to buy ones from the store. sadly my hang up is less guilt and more image. i needed this post.ReplyDelete
love it! guilt free :)ReplyDelete
I will still love you:) heeheeReplyDelete
That is awesome...time to get rid of the guilt!ReplyDelete
So did I! Valentine's day totally snuck up on me this year. I even used the leftover ones from last year to boot! I was proud though when Hunter brought his Valentines home and only one other kid in class wrote her own name on her valentines.ReplyDelete
I loved these as a kid (I got all excited about sorting them and choosing the "right one" for each friend!), and if your kids like them, that's all the matters here...ReplyDelete
i went store bought this year too! and i am ok with it:) the kiddos love them anyways~ happy weekend chick!ReplyDelete
I am pretty sure your kids liked having the store bought ones better.ReplyDelete
Pssst....that's Anakin Skywalker :) And, he says it when he's Darth Vader. So, I'm a scrapper and a Star Wars geek, what can I say?!ReplyDelete
I'm with ya, enough with the Mom guilt! Like there's not enough to do and I think they like the store bought ones better (especially boys).
They're super-cute! And so are your kids!ReplyDelete
Psst...my step-son is totally into the NBA and the Dollar Store had NBA V-tines. Yes, thank you.ReplyDelete
It's really easy to feel inadequate when reading a lot of blogs but the blog isn't the whole story. You should never compare yourself to other moms and feel bad when you don't do everything as 'perfect' as they do.ReplyDelete
There is nothing wrong with that. You are a very busy woman! And I love the choices!ReplyDelete
good for you! :)ReplyDelete
I thought I might tell you, I BOUGHT my girls' valentine's at Target and when my husband said "You're not making them?" I said, Nah.. Emily said it's ok if I don't.ReplyDelete
haha.. there you go, creepin' in my husband and I's conversations.. weirdo.

Duck loves fruit, and duck breasts in particular do. After crisping the skin, the fat cooks the apples to a delicious golden color, with flavor abounding.
Although many cooks used to wild ducks prefer their duck breasts cooked to 165 degrees, I like mine more medium rare, and aim for 140-145 degrees. Duck breasts are now available, two to a package, in the freezer section of upscale grocery stores. If only older or bitter collards are available, they should be added quickly to a pan of hot water, the water returned to a boil, and drained. Cool slightly, roll up and slice.
Nathalie Dupree
Duck Breasts With Apples and Collards
Serves 2
2 duck breasts, thawed if pre-frozen
1 to 2 apples, preferably Gala or other red apple
5 to 6 small well-washed collard or spinach leaves, middle stem removed
Prick the skin of the duck breasts with a fork, going through the fat to the flesh, but not into the flesh. Make one or two horizontal slashes across the skin on the breast down to but not into the flesh.
Put the breasts, skin down, in a heavy frying pan sufficient to hold both breasts. Move the frying pan to the heat, and turn up to medium high. Cook the breast until fat is rendered and the breast is crisp and deep brown. Turn with tongs and brown second side. If the pan is sufficiently large, core and slice the apples into wedges (I prefer leaving the skin on) and add to the pan around the breasts. Cook the breasts until they are the desired temperature (see headnote). Remove to a plate and keep warm if necessary.
Meanwhile, cook the apples in the pan fat until they are lightly brown and turn until brown on second side. Roll the collards up into a cigarette shape and slice across on the diagonal. Add to the pan of apples. Cover with a lid and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted. Surround the breasts with the apple wedges and tuck the collards under or around the breasts and apples.

Coffee, pastries and business experience now have something in common at Davis & Elkins College. The student business organization Phi Beta Lambda recently opened Beta Bean Cafe in response to students' desire for a campus coffee shop.
The venture also fulfills the organization's need for funding travel to out-of-state conferences, and provides hands-on experience for managing and working in a small business.
"Beta Bean Cafe runs strictly for the benefit of the Davis & Elkins College students from a learning experience, which included the drafting and implementation of a business plan, all the way through to the profits going back into the organization," says D&E Vice President for Student Affairs Scott Goddard. "It's all for, and about, the students the students get to work in a real business."

Frank Cottrill, a Davis & Elkins College senior from Parkersburg, serves as manager of Beta Bean Cafe. The kiosk, located inside Booth Library, serves hot and cold coffee drinks, tea and pastries. The business opened earlier this month in response to students' request for a campus coffee shop.
Beta Bean Cafe, located inside Booth Library, officially opened Nov. 4 after a soft opening on Nov. 2. Hours are Mondays through Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Weekend hours will vary depending on campus activities.
"Response since the opening has been great, and this will be a delightful addition to our campus," says PBL advisor and D&E professor of economics and finance Dr. Nadeem Khan.
The student organization-owned and -operated business employs 13 D&E students, and is managed by Phi Beta Lambda President Frank Cottrill, a senior from Parkersburg. Kevin Gratias, a senior from Belington, serves as assistant manager.
Cottrill says the idea for a coffee shop was brought up in a Student Assembly meeting more than a year ago, and PBL went to work on a business plan.
"The magic really happened behind the scenes," Goddard says. "Starting with a student idea, student action and support from a member of the Board of Trustees, Student Assembly, and the faculty, staff and administration."
Cottrill says the planning process was lengthy and the project didn't come together as quickly as he had expected.
"I offered to be the manager, and had hoped that we would have made progress last spring," he says.
However, it wasn't until finals week that Cottrill learned the plan had met college administration approval.
"The project was essentially taken up from scratch at the start of this school year," Cottrill explains, adding that's when he brought in Gratias, PBL's treasurer, as assistant manager.
The two had a lot of details to finalize, including selecting the centrally located library as the business site and making sure inspection reports were signed.
Now, the aroma of gourmet coffee drifts from the 10-foot-by-9-foot kiosk on wheels with a menu of Caribou coffee, Americano, cappuccino, espresso, latte, macchiato, hot chocolate, mocha, frappe and tea, along with muffins and Danish pastries.
Students are lining up to make their selections and offer
Currently, Beta Bean Cafe offers raspberry, hazelnut, caramel, chocolate and Kahlua flavors, and Gratias hopes that list will grow.
"Students have been asking for other flavors and for scones, so we're checking to see where we can order those," he says.
Gratias adds that eventually students will be able to place their orders by text message.
Cottrill and Gratias are also looking at additional future plans, specifically training others to take their places when they both graduate in the spring.
"It's good experience for any member of the club because you learn to work with the school and deal with what you have to as a manager," Gratias says.
Goddard agrees, saying he hopes students who work at Beta Bean each semester take away valuable lessons about business and life.
"They'll gain the ability to work with all types of people at all levels, which is critical for success," Goddard says. "Our hope for students is to get a general base knowledge of how to start and run a business. You cannot put a price on experience."

On various vehicles when servicing the head gasket on certain Ford remanufactured engines, it is critical to determine the type of remanufactured engine that is being serviced, in order to identify the correct replacement gasket.
Follow the Service Procedure to help identify if the vehicle is equipped with a STD (for originally equipment level thickness head gasket) or OVR (for oversized service level thicker head gasket) remanufactured engine when replacing a head gasket.
Use this TSB to help identify if the vehicle is equipped with a STD or OVR remanufactured engine when replacing a head gasket. This will ensure that you obtain the proper head gasket (thicker for OVR-oversized) for the engine you are repairing, as the engine may have milled engine block deck, milled cylinder head deck, or an over sized bore in the cylinders. This information will be needed when ordering parts. The parts catalogs already reflect the correct service numbers, as long as this additional information is available.
For certain remanufactured engines, the long block assembly will be uniquely identified with a build date, reman code, service part number, and serial number. This metal tag will be marked with STD, or with OVR (Figures 1-6).

Samsung trailer tells us to get ready for something new at CES 2013
0. phoneArena 09 Dec 2012, 23:14 posted on
CES 2013 is coming January 8th-January 11th and there has been some speculation that Sammy will show off a 5 inch Samsung Galaxy S IV; a quick little trailer produced by the Korean manufacturer tells us that "something new" is coming...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. redcloudsk (Posts: 9; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
Dam it!!!!! I just got GS3 !!!!!!! Release GS4 Fall 2013 !!!!!!!!!! lol
35. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
i really hope GS IV would be released in the summer same as GS3, or even later ! haha :P
2. tigermcm (Posts: 855; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
wait a sec if the GS4 might be 5 inch than is there really a point to releasing another note?
7. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the Note II is an half inch larger, it's the same size difference between the SIII and the original Note.
12. tigermcm (Posts: 855; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
understandable as far as the original but now with BS4 going to 5 inch thats considered phablet, makes no sense for a note. the selling point would be, if you want a pen get note3 if you dont than GS4
15. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
well maybe it'll have virtual function keys and it'll share the same footprint as the SIII.
31. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Gosh, by your logic next year this won't be phone arena but phablet arena. Since basically all flagship phones will be 5 inch ones.
Get it already that it's not a tablet size.
Just look at Sony Odin - it's half a centimeter shorter than the S3!
36. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
5 inches isn't considered phablet. Look at the DNA, HTC made sure that everybody understood that it's not a phablet, but a supercharged smartphone.
25. half_21 (Posts: 44; Member since: 16 Nov 2012)
i think the note3 can go as much as 5.8" screen size...after that then i don't know what they will do with the Note4,hmmf...and tigermcm has a point, if they would retain the 5.5" size of the NOTE3 then it would go down to the phone functionality which would point out the difference between those two phones....
32. shayan (Posts: 159; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
Note has another selling point beside being huge, Spen.
but I really dont like galaxy S 4 to be more than 4.8 inch. samsung will lose customers who want smaller phones.
3. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
well hopefully its...NEW DESIGN!
4. djripster (Posts: 138; Member since: 10 Dec 2011)
Wonder if it will just be the Samsung ATIV S
33. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Lol, that phone was announced months ago.
PA even reviewed it
I think it could be the Galaxy S3b
38. djripster (Posts: 138; Member since: 10 Dec 2011)
:) Lets hope so, Samsung recently released some demo videos of the ATIV S
5. Cyan3boN (Posts: 444; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
they will change their Logo as they said before and introduce us to new technologies
6. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i don't think it's the next Galaxy S device i think it's something...new and remember this is CES, it doesn't necessarily even have to be a mobile device, it could be an Android powered Washing Machine for all we know.
8. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Or a tablet
16. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
nahhh, i don't think so.
9. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Is the 7" exinos quad note for 250 :>
17. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
hm, interesting theory. i think it'd be $300 though.
10. MC1123 (Posts: 1255; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
5" phone is not a phone for an average joe!
but if they maintain 4.5-4.8" flagship but with sizzling hot new technology or new add ons..then it will be powerful!
11. TheMan (Posts: 490; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
If it hadn't come from the Samsung YouTube account there'd be no way of identifying the company.
I may eat these words, but I'm thinking it's not about any specific new phone. Instead, it'll be about TVs, or another device. Maybe the smartphones are a part of what's new, but it won't be the focus, mostly because the CES has evolved into a showcase for everything but mobile phones. Manufacturers tend to launch at MWC, unless it's Apple or Samsung (this past year, at least).
That's my guess, anyway.
13. Edmund (Posts: 656; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
The editors need to remove those "google goggles. It's a friggin Ativ tablet running Windows 8 Pro.
18. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i don't think they'd tease something like that as "something new", i don't even think they'd tease that at all.
21. tango_charlie (Posts: 250; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
A Samsung Ativ "Transformer" Tab with S-Pen would be something "new".
29. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you mean the Series 5 and 7 Laptops? xD
a "Samsung Ativ "Transformer" Tab with S-Pen" would be a Samsung Ativ with new accessories, not something new.
30. tango_charlie (Posts: 250; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
A Transformer with a slide out keyboard
39. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
no thanks.
14. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Probably at ces, they'll just introduce their new logo along with the flexible amoled screen. It's too early for them to release the next flagship
19. jphillips63 (Posts: 221; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
What ever sammy does please and I beg you put a btter radio in your phones. I dont care if you go to Motorola and use there radios just give us something that works out in the fringe areas like Moto and HTC does.
20. tango_charlie (Posts: 250; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
The SGS3 is still selling well, so it makes no sense to announce it's successor next month. A special SGS4 event for announcing the device a few weeks after MWC is more plausible.
At CES Samsung might introduce some fresh new tablets:
7-8" Galaxy Tab/Note with S-Pen
10-11" Galaxy "Transformer" like in the style of the Asus Transformer with some kind of attachable or even slide out keyboard
And I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung would also release Windows 8 and/or Win8 RT tablets with the same form factor as the above mentioned Android once.
22. yeminswe (Posts: 3; Member since: 10 Dec 2012)
Something new ?? What's it? Just be Unbreakable screen or GS4 , then as soon as it get right into my country , I will go and buy it ! I've been willing to buy SGS3 but hearing rumors about S4 makes me wait again .. make it ASAP !! .. my lovely Samsung
23. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
Please not another camera with android on it. Great concept but I am not dropping $450 on a device like that. Obviously the S4 should make an appearance. Do not release a Note 3 or a refresh on the Note. Save that for the fall. I would like to see sequel to the 7.7 inch tab. Wish they released that in the US.
24. maverick786us (Posts: 148; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
It will be too early to announce Galaxy S4 as its announcement will make people wait for Galaxy S4 and thus cannabalize the sales of S3.
26. BadAssAbe (Posts: 456; Member since: 22 Apr 2011)
7in tablet with a amoled screen :-D To good to be true.
Go Samsung,
i really hope they copy apple again because i really want a five row of icons LOL JK
27. half_21 (Posts: 44; Member since: 16 Nov 2012)
i hope samsung focus more also on the design of their nxt flagship phone..i'm not saying that GS3 looks ugly,i'm just saying that they could make a phone that looks a lot better than that...SONY and HTC does it so why can't samsung?hmmm, also just use an LCD screen which is more pleasing in MY eyes( that's just me), rather than amoled screen which often has a yellow or blue tint...and also increase the brightness level of the screen, which their previous phone lacks a bit compared to other phones...
28. cGmC11 (Posts: 139; Member since: 02 Apr 2012)
Is the rumored new brand name, logo change & finally better quality materials!
34. molanjames (banned) (Posts: 80; Member since: 11 Oct 2012)
Hoping to see the Samsung Galaxy 4 at CES! I hope Samsung can make Apple look like they are a generation behind!
37. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1546; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I wonder if Nokia will be there and will show a Nokia Windows 8 or Windows RT tablet. I saw some per production pictures of a red and Cyan (royal Blue) polycarbonate body Nokia
Windows tablets shaped similar to a gigantic lumia 900. Wow folks if they hit the market and they are well made they wopuld sell like Hot cakes on a cold day. people would form lines to get them because they have class
40. Twisted247 (Posts: 282; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
Apple is crapping in there pants right now! after this they will be trying to sue for anything and everything.
Another article on here stated Tim Cook is implementing a new tactic to release TWO yes TWO devices a year WOW how does Apple do it that is astounding down right amazing(extreme sarcasm)..... He isn't trying a new tactic it's a last ditch effort cause Apple knows the only thing they have left going for them is their releases. Cause the Apple fanbase follows blindly so if they amp up their releases per year thats where they will make all of their money. Cause once the product actually makes it to the masses all of the issues are brought to light then the want and desire slows. So they do another release with hype(and just hype cause thats all it is no follow through). So if they keep up several releases then they can keep sales atleast declining at a slower rate then normal. Since that's all they are going to be doing is skating on the decline.

Catholic Politicians Shouldn't be Jekylls and Hydes
By Brenda Steele
Was President John F. Kennedy instrumental in "privatizing" religion? Russ Shaw, writing for InsideCatholic.com thinks that is the case. In his piece titled "Privatizing Religion" Shaw recalls that JKF's assurance that his religious views were his "own private affair" has allowed future Catholic politicians to pick up his mantra.
Case in point, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. We all recall her Newsweek interview when she whined that she "mourned" a "difference of opinion" but that her own free will allowed her this. Pelosi is hardly the only Catholic politician to exercise this idea of separating faith from the public square. Others come to mind, such as John Kerry and Ted Kennedy. The list is long, and you know who to add.
So, the question begs to be asked, "How does one proclaim to be a faithful Catholic and yet "separate" the teachings of their faith from day to day decisions, whether these be concerned with family issues, work issues, or political ones? It is not enough to be a "good" Catholic by attending, at a minimum, Sunday Mass and, perhaps, participating in the life of the Church, and then dismiss Church teachings on Monday in favor of a "separatist" attitude.
This insistence of "my faith is personal," subscribed to by far too many Catholic politicians, makes me wonder if they have split personalities! Can you have a movie without popcorn, an Oreo without a glass of milk? No, of course not, just as you cannot be one person in church and another outside of church. Our beliefs determine "who" we are at all times, whether in the public square, in church, or within our families.
I say to all Catholic politicians, let the beliefs of your True Catholic faith shine through, guide all you do and say, and give glory and honor to our Lord. Don't be a Jekyll and Hyde.

QUEENS, N.Y. - As we crossed the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, just a few minutes from one of the most unlikely destinations we've ever set for a family trip - Long Island City - I decided it was a good moment to explain to the kids why we were vacationing in Queens.
"Guys," I said, turning to the backseat, "this trip is going to be a bit more food-focused than usual. And we're about to take a trip around the world."
My children know a few things about food travel, whether it's New England, New Orleans, or even Brooklyn, which we'd just visited. But unlike those more glamorous destinations, Queens' touristic charms are not immediately obvious. Though it shares a county border with trendy Brooklyn, Queens is more about a stunning patchwork of authentic international diversity.

WASHINGTON � It rode through winding highways, over mountains and snow only to finally arrive on a dry, warm hill in Washington, D.C., but the Capitol Christmas tree looked right at home when it lit up Tuesday night.
Despite the balmy weather, the mood was festive enough. The United States Air Force Band flashed its brassy trumpets and horns, playing traditional tunes such as �Away in a Manger� and, of course, �Oh, Tannebaum.�
The 73-foot tall and 74-year-old Engelmann spruce began its arduous journey Nov. 2, when it was harvested from the Blanco Ranger District of the White River National Forest, near Meeker.
In July, U.S. Sen. Mark Udall led a hike in search of the perfect candidate for the �People�s Tree.�
�The experience was a wonderful one � walking the land, looking at a tree from every angle and looking what goes into that final decision,� Udall said.
Before the tree was cut, the Ute tribes blessed it with a Sun Dance. �One of the reasons the Utes bless the tree, you�re taking a life, this is a living part of our world. It has been cut and used for these purposes, so you want to respect that life force,� Udall said.
Southern Utes, from Ignacio, Northern Utes, from Utah, and Ute Mountain Utes, from Towaoc, all blessed the tree and came to the lighting ceremony.
�We�re (all) Sun Dancers, so when we cut a tree down we do a blessing, and it goes on from there,� said Ute Mountain Ute Vice Chairman Bradley W. Hight. He also blessed another Capitol tree from New Mexico a decade ago. Among the myriad of homemade ornaments covering the tree, Hight said, were around 400 from the tribe, including ornaments made by elders.
The tree is even named after a Southern Ute elder, Annabelle Eagle. Former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell not only bestowed the name, but drove the truck carrying the big spruce more than 5,500 miles, stopping at 22 towns across the country, including Durango.
Campbell drove the Capitol tree from Colorado in 2000 and couldn�t resist a second chance.
�When they asked me if I would do it again, I said, �Well, it�s on my bucket list, I�d be glad to,�� Campbell said.
Sen. Michael Bennet, Campbell�s successor, thanked him during the opening ceremonies. �When (Campbell) came to Denver, the first thing my kids said was, �Dad, why can�t you drive that truck?�� Bennet said.
After an introduction by Speaker of the House John Boehner, 17-year-old Colorado Springs native Ryan Schuster finally pushed the button. Hundreds of handmade ornaments from Coloradans, made of paper, tin or even Popsicle sticks, sparkled and glowed in the multicolored lights.
Schuster, an Eagle Scout, was still looking at the tree long after most of the crowd left. �I think (the tree) represents Colorado pride because there�s not many other places you can go and find things that are this beautiful and this great,� Schuster said.

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said he appreciated the tone of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday, although he was disappointed to hear that coal is again not a part of the national energy plans.
"It was more of a bipartisan tone than I've heard in the past," Manchin, D-W.Va., said a day after the speech.
Manchin said he will continue to shout from the mountaintops about the importance of coal to America's energy independence and to West Virginia's economy.

"To deny coal in the energy mix is wrong," he said. "That's where I differ, and I will continue to speak loud and clear about that."
Manchin said technology exists and is being developed to allow for cleaner-burning coal.
He said he understands the environmental impact the industry has, but said the carbon footprint is minimal compared to the rest of the world.
"The U.S. burns less than one-eighth of the coal in the world," he said. "We can do it better if the government works with us."
Manchin said he was pleased with how Obama discussed the financial picture of government, but said he would not vote for any further extensions or to raise the debt ceiling until a long-term solution to the situation is in place.
"We have gotten ourselves deeper into this financial mess because Congress would not act," he said. "There are no excuses anymore, because the election is over."
Manchin said it is time for Congress to roll up its sleeves and fix the problems.
"Sequestering was put on as a penalty. We all voted for it, and now they say it's not supposed to happen," West Virginia's junior senator said. "Nothing happened, and now they don't want to face the music. The president sounded serious last night, and I hope he follows through."
Manchin also said serious steps need to be taken to address the issues balancing responsible gun ownership with the rash of gun violence in the country. He said he would like to see a commission study the links between violent media content, mental health and society's desensitivity to these horrific scenes.
"We start with a very, very rigorous background check and a mental health check," he said. "We get something that makes common sense and something that is needed."
Manchin said he was pleased to hear the president's talk of investing in early childhood education. Those are the investments we should be making in our country, he said.
Manchin said he doesn't have a problem with the president's idea of increasing the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour by 2015.
"We have to make sure we are not jeopardizing the jobs we already have," he said. "We need to encourage people to get better skill sets. But I know it's tough out there."

I'd give them a call. I think it's running around 7 months right now.
January 4, 2013, 11:13 PM
Are you saying your Form 4 was submitted in Feb? When was your check cashed? Form 4 approval times are currently running in the 5.5-6.5 month average range. Have you talked with your dealer?
January 4, 2013, 11:55 PM
was about 7 months for me (TN). got 2 suppressor stamps in december
January 5, 2013, 08:52 AM
My check for 4 suppressors was cashed October 29. I'm not looking for stamps until April.
January 6, 2013, 02:38 PM
Call the ATF.
Say this "I'm calling to check the status of a Form4, the serial number is xxxxxx" the will ask who the item is transferring from and who it's transferring to. Then they will tell you a pending or approved date and then ask them who your examiner is. If its still pending then ask to be transferred to the examiner that has it. They will tell you that wait times are 6-months. Tell them you sent it in 11 months ago.
This is assuming you mailed this yourself with a personal check and saw when it cashed proving your paperwork made it to the ATF back in feb. I you relied on your dealer to mail it, think twice next time.
January 6, 2013, 10:04 PM
My check for 4 suppressors was cashed October 29. I'm not looking for stamps until April.
I hope that isn't the case. My check was cashed in early Sept., pending approval as of Sept 18, and I'm hoping for my stamp in Feb.
January 6, 2013, 11:55 PM
Sandra Snook is your examiner. I just got one Form 4 kicked back for a technicality, had another go through fine several months earlier. The last one took 6 months.
Prince Yamato
January 7, 2013, 01:27 AM
~5-6 months is the current wait time. A number of people are getting them kicked back by the new examiners (myself included), for things like lacking the word "The" in the title of the FFL or capitalization errors. I kid you not.
January 7, 2013, 02:01 AM
i set up a trust and turned in my paper work on june 2012, and got word that my tax stamp cleared this christmas. so pretty much 6 months for me, and that's for Texas; everyone was telling me not to expect it any earlier than 7-8 months. It might have been the trust that expedited the process for me.
January 7, 2013, 03:32 AM
Just had 2 in for approval, it took 9 months one was a gun and the other was a suppressor.

PLATTSBURGH – With sunny spring weather here at last, many gardeners eagerly await the prime time to dig into the dirt.
For those with limited experience, space and time, a square-foot garden could be the perfect fit, according to Jolene Wallace, master gardener and horticulture program assistant for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Clinton County.
"It's easy to take care of, and it produces really well," Wallace said.
The gardens are similar to raised beds.
"They're up off the ground, and a 4-foot by 4-foot garden can grow enough produce over the season to feed a small family," she said. "If you have only a little space, it works really well."
Wallace recommends rough-cut cedar for the garden's 4-foot by 4-foot box frame because the wood lasts longer, but any type of untreated lumber can be used.
The garden boxes can be placed on a patio or in a yard – any place that they will receive full sun.
"Almost all vegetables require full sun, which would be six to eight hours a day," Wallace said.
"Sometimes people think, 'I get a lot of sun,' but until they really start paying attention to how much sun they actually get, most of the time, they think they have more than they do."
Blanket a grassy growing area with newspapers before placing the frame, Wallace advises.
"That newspaper will smother the grass so you're not going to have the grass growing up through your garden … and when the plants grow, that newspaper will be decomposed enough that if you have something that has really deep roots, it'll grow right through into the soil underneath it."
Fill the frame in with a good potting mix.
"Potting mix has a whole different texture; it's not heavy, and it drains really well," she said.
Use string or a thin piece of wood to create a grid on top of the frame that divides the box into 16 1-foot by 1-foot squares.
Then the real fun begins: choosing which crops to grow.
"If you're going to plant lettuce, we can tell you how much lettuce to plant in that size," Wallace said, listing off a variety of produce options.
It's important to keep in mind what each crop's mature size is going to be to ensure it has room to grow.
"Squash would take up more than one square, unless you put it on a trellis, and then it's going to climb up … and you will have all this room to plant something else," she said.
"So, it's just kind of a strategy."
Five easy vegetables to cultivate are beans, squash, carrots, peas and tomatoes, she said.
"Tomatoes are probably the most popular thing that people grow because we all love our fresh tomatoes. A little fresh basil, a little mozzarella cheese, a little olive oil, you've got dinner," Wallace laughed.
Temperature is another key gardening factor.
Because the gardens are off the ground, the soil warms faster, so seeds can be planted sooner than if they were going into the ground somewhere in the yard, Wallace said.
"One of the cool things about (square-foot gardens) is that if you were planting, say radishes and … lettuce and things like that, you could plant this whole thing in cool-weather crops," Wallace said. "And by the time it's warm enough for the warm-weather crops, you will have harvested all of this, and you use the exact same area."
If the box frame is placed now, then the garden is ready when the weather says it is.
"There's all kind of possibilities," Wallace said.
"More and more people, we find, are really interested in growing their own. It's a nice activity. They know what went into it … and they're in control of what it is they're eating, so to speak, and it's fun to try things and see what works and what doesn't."

The Boeing Company announced on Friday, November 15, 2013 that it is looking for a new manufacturing site to build its new 777X airplane. Hey, Rockford Area, let's go for this. Rockford would be the perfect location for building this new aircraft which already has firm orders in excess of 100 billion dollars and is only located 90 miles from its corporate headquarters in Chicago.
The 777X will be Boeing's longest plane and will be purchased in a world-wide market. Our airport is already has long a runway to accept the world's largest planes and able to handle International traffic. We cannot wait for our local leaders to go for this prize. We must collectively, as citizens of the Rockford area, notify Boeing that we want them here, where together, we will build a world-class plane in the Rockford tradition of craftsmanship.... Did I not mention, well-paying jobs?
I encourage all of us to send a message by "snail" mail (not email) to Boeing - to locate the 777X site here to our area. Let it be publicized: by our newspapers, our radio stations, our television stations, our clubs, our organizations, by one and all.
No need for a long detailed letter, just a short note. Send to:
W. James McNerney, Jr. - Chairman, President and CEO
100 North Riverside Plaza
Chicago, Il 60606
Yes, he will not read them; however, with tens of thousands of letters, his Admin Assistant will be tired of opening all the letters and will encourage him to send a staff here to check Rockford out.

North San Juan and Cal Fire firefighters responded to a residential fire at 5 a.m. Friday on Highway 49 at Peterson's Corner, said North San Juan Fire Engineer Christoffer Montelius.
The house was a two-story, wood-frame structure with a wrap-around deck, and the upper floor was fully involved when firefighters arrived, Montelius said.
There also was a slow-moving grass fire on the backside of the house that was extending to the outside of an outbuilding.
The grass fire and the outbuilding blaze were quickly extinguished and firefighters attacked the main structure.
Thanks to a prompt response and good teamwork, firefighters extinguished the top floor without any extension to the downstairs.
As firefighters attacked the fire, there was a salvage operation going on downstairs. Cars that were parked close to the structure were moved, and the contents of the downstairs were moved out and protected with tarps.
Nevada County Consolidated Fire Department provided an additional water tender and Camptonville Fire Department brought its mobile air filling station.
The cause of the fire might have been embers on the roof from a wood stove, Montelius said.

Looks like this function has a strange randomness.
If you take any number of elements in an array which has 40..100 elements, the 31st one is always by far the less occuring (by about 10% less than others).
I tried this piece of code at home (PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9) and on my server (PHP Version 5.2.17), unfortunately i haven't any server with the last version here :
$valeurs = range(1, 40);
$proba = array_fill(1, 40, 0);
for ($i = 0; $i < 10000; ++$i)
$tirage_tab = array_rand($valeurs, 10);
foreach($tirage_tab as $key => $value)
echo "Proba :
\n";
foreach($proba as $key => $value)
echo "$key : $value
\n";
In every try, the number of occurrences change a bit but the 31 is always far less (around 2200) than the others (2400-2600). I tried with 50 and 100 elements, no change. I tried with more or less elements to pick (second parameter to array_rand), same result. If you pick only one element it's even worse : 31 has half the result of the others.
For this particular case, i recommend shuffling the array and taking the nth first elements, in this test it's 60% faster and the statistics are ok.

With their top offensive line in a funk, the Buffalo Sabres still managed to squeeze enough juice from their offense to get two wins in Florida.
They go for their first three-game winning streak of the season today in First Niagara Center against the New Jersey Devils and secondary scoring will continue to be a point of emphasis. They will need more breakout performances like the one winger Nathan Gerbe put together in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win at Florida.
Gerbe scored his first two goals of the season, putting together his first multi-goal game since April 8, 2011. Still working into game shape after summer back surgery, Gerbe had been skating better in recent games and creating scoring chances. The goals almost seemed like a matter of time.
"I tried not to focus on a breakout game," Gerbe said Friday after the Sabres' brief practice in the Northtown Center at Amherst. "My focus is on the initial process of working hard, skating hard and doing my best to create chances and using my work ethic to help get this team going."
The 5-foot-5 Gerbe has been much more like his usual pest self in recent games. He has nine shots on goal in the last four games and garnered a season-high 17:07 of ice time Thursday.
"His energy level has been really good," said interim coach Ron Rolston. "He was making a lot happen with his feet and getting to pucks first and that's the start. That's the start for our team, trying to get first touches and having that kind of energy. He's had it lately."
Gerbe had 16 goals in the 2010-11 season, his first full one in the NHL. But he slumped to just six goals in 62 games last year – including only one in his last 21 games. So chalk up 16 scoreless games to open this season and Gerbe had just one goal in 37 games until Thursday.
Gerbe opened the scoring at 6:30 of the first period after streaking down the right wing into the Florida zone past Peter Mueller, stopping and then firing a quick wrist shot that deflected off Mueller into the net. He scored again at 16:46 of the first beating goalie Scott Clemmensen with a quick snapshot to the top corner just before he crashed into the end boards.
"He's got a little life, a little energy," said captain Jason Pominville. "He's actually been moving his feet well, skating well and making plays. He got a bounce on the first one, made a great play on the second one. It's nice to see a guy get rewarded with all the work he put in."
Gerbe actually turned away a good chance at a hat trick opportunity, making an ill-advised pass to Tyler Ennis on a 2-on-1 late in the third period with Buffalo protecting its one-goal lead. The Panthers eventually tied the game but the Sabres survived in the shootout.
"I should have shot," Gerbe said. "I drifted away from the net and tried to make a pass to Tyler. If the pass connects, Tyler has a good chance with an open net. But a tight game like that, I have to shoot the puck and try to score and ease the pressure on our team."
"Where he was at, he had a great opportunity to shoot the puck and made a lower percentage play," Rolston said. "But that's part of the process."
Gerbe missed the first two games of the season after his July back surgery, with the lockout essentially saving him a 30-plus-game absence. He wasn't very noticeable when he returned in long stretches. That changed when he engaged Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf in a brief tussle last week in Air Canada Centre and Gerbe has been better offensively as well.
"I'm a player that plays with fire," Gerbe said. "I try to walk that fine line of being aggressive and not being undisciplined out there. That's my game, it's to agitate, create energy and create scoring chances."

Back in the olden days, when everyone lived in mud huts and only had 56k internet connections, "Game of the Year Edition" was just a meagre title thrown on a game box to let you know it had probably sold eleventy gajillion copies. These days, with the futuristic magic of streaming television and 3D everything, a GOTY edition is a cause for celebration, as it usually has all kinds of fantastical free gubbins tacked on. Here are some of the highlights:
Fallout 3
After the phenomenal success of 2008's Fallout 3, developer Bethesda went on to produce five beefy add-on packs which added a significant chunk of new content to the game - including a rewritten ending. The Game of the Year disc collects this all into one convenient package.

August 2011 DMI Dairy Checkoff Update
August 2011 DMI Dairy Checkoff Update
A periodic report for dairy media demonstrating how Dairy Management Inc.™ (DMI) and affiliated state and regional promotion organizations work to increase demand for and sales of dairy products and ingredients through the programs of the American Dairy Association®, National Dairy Council® and U.S. Dairy Export Council®.
Checkoff, Domino's Efforts Lead to Healthier, Kid-Approved School Pizza
Dairy producers are helping to grow sales and provide more nutritious pizzas to students across America through the Domino's® Smart Slice school pizza program.
Domino's Smart Slice – which satisfies increasingly stringent school nutrition guidelines – will be delivered to more than 1,300 schools representing more than 220 districts this year. The chain aims to continue growing pizza sales at a solid pace throughout the year.
The launch and aggressive growth of Domino's Smart Slice has made an impact within the school pizza marketplace, as frozen pizza reformulations and new product launches are creating healthier pizzas that are moving more cheese.
Most U.S. schools serve frozen pizza and most students prefer pizza to foods such as chicken nuggets and hamburgers, according to NPD Group research. However, of those students surveyed who select pizza, only 25 percent say they "like it a lot" and that "it tastes great."
In contrast, Domino's Smart Slice delivers a nutritious, kid-approved solution that helps increase school meal participation – a win-win for students and school nutrition directors.
"Domino's Smart Slice is a great example of quick-service restaurants partnering with the dairy industry," said Paul Rovey, Arizona dairy producer and chair of Dairy Management Inc.™, which manages the national dairy checkoff. "This partnership is creating a ripple effect throughout the pizza industry, because Domino's Smart Slice is innovative and maintains cheese as the key pizza ingredient."
The dairy checkoff began partnering with Domino's in 2009 to help grow cheese sales. The collaboration included the creation of a specialty pizza line that used more cheese, an aggressive schedule of in-store promotions, and the use of DMI expertise and resources to help the chain develop its school lunch strategy. Domino's tapped into the checkoff's insights and culinary expertise to develop pizza and programs to improve the school lunch experience and keep pizza – and cheese – on school menus.
Domino's Smart Slice appeals to school nutrition professionals because it features items such as whole-grain crust, reduced-sodium "100 percent real" light mozzarella, reduced-fat/reduced-sodium pepperoni, and sauce with 35 percent less sodium than the chain's traditional sauce. And, in research tests, its taste appeals to kids as well.
Dairy checkoff chefs collaborated with Domino's to develop the Smart Slice line, including the Bellroni Pie that uses light mozzarella and provolone and The Cheezzzilla Pizza that blends five cheeses while staying in line with nutrition guidelines.
More information about Domino's Smart Slice can be found at www.dominosbiz.com/Biz-Public-EN/Biz+Footer/School+Lunch/.
Dates Set for 2011 Joint Annual Meeting
The 2011 joint annual meeting of the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (NDB), National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and United Dairy Industry Association (UDIA) will be held Nov. 14-16 in San Diego.
The meeting provides dairy producers an opportunity to learn more about how their national dairy policy and promotion organizations are working to implement strategies and initiatives that will "Navigate a New Course" for U.S. dairy producers and the dairy industry.

Google's advertising subsidiary DoubleClick and Microsoft's MSN ads
service both have admitted to falling for a clever scheme by some nasty black
hat hackers. Malicious banner ads for both services were
found to be trying to perform drive-by download exploitation and install
malware on users' machines.
As with many great (or terrible) episodes of computer crime, a key
component was clever social engineering. Hackers created a site called
ADShufffle.com -- one letter away from ADShuffle.com, a major online
advertising technology firm. Apparently that was enough to get the ads
through screeners at Microsoft and Google.
Security firm Armorize appears to be the first to have noticed the
attack. Wayne Huang chief technology officer of Armorize details the
unusual incident in a blog, writing:
Users visit websites that incorporate banner ads from DoubleClick or
rad.msn.com, the malicious javascript is served from ADShufffle.com (notice the
three f's), starts a drive-by download process and if successful, HDD Plus and
other malware are installed into the victim's machine, without having the need
to trick the victim into doing anything or clicking on anything. Simply
visiting the page infects the visitors.
Known sites affected: Sites that incorporate DoubleClick or
rad.msn.com banners, including for example Scout.com (using DoubleClick),
realestate.msn.com, msnbc.com (using both), and mail.live.com. We'd like to
note here it's very possible that multiple exchanges, besides those listed
here, have been serving the fake ADShufffle's ads.
For all its ingenuity, the attackers used pretty standard exploitation
packages, including Neosploit and the Eleonore exploit kit. Both kits are
popular among black hat hackers, but also among security experts who purchase
them to battle-test the security of corporate systems.
The latest attack used Javascript exploits to begin a download
procedure, which was triggered when users visited a page that was serving the
compromised banner ads. The ad service would then request the code for
the ad from the hackers' servers, initiating the attack.
A Google spokesperson assured that the ads were only up for a very
brief time and have since been terminated. The company is now
investigating the incident. Microsoft did not release a statement, but
likely is taking similar measures.
incident is not Google's first brush with malware advertising. Previously
malicious hackers were found to be leveraging Google's AdWords service. In
that case, as well, the key to the criminals' success was using
legitimate-looking links.

Really?
quote: Anything pre windows xp/2000 shouldn't even be "online" anymore in a corporate environment due to security concerns and the fact that it isn't supported anymore.
quote: The purpose of a company is to conduct whatever business they run, not to keep their computers up to date...
quote: Paying to replace equipment which is still doing its job just fine is a needless waste of money. That "it isn't supported anymore" isn't even a factor.
quote: and I'd bet most businesses out there would just prefer it if software companies would support their old releases for longer
quote: Yes up-to-date software is always desired by IT staff.
quote: The smallest hint of 'not impossible' and the purse strings tighten and are sealed in a locked box. And guarded with tasers and other painful things.
quote: This logic right here is a fine example of why there are so many viruses plaguing out internet.
quote: I'm not suggesting you run out an buy new stuff the second it comes out, but come on... once something is pushing 10 years old i think it's time to consider an update.
quote: There are two issues i have with this statement. First is that software companies need to make money too. They do this by releasing new software every-so-often.
quote: Second, sometimes improved security requires a heavy architecture change to the software which would require a near complete rewrite (hence xp -> vista growing pains). Changing the entire architectural design of your software requires a new release because software engineers need to be paid to do that kind of heavy modification. it's easy to simply say that software company should lengthen support cycles but in a lot of ways it highly impractical to do this and not just because of corporate greed.
quote: For good reason too... perhaps if IT was heard network security would be top notch and nothing would ever break.
quote: The vast majority of the business world is all done via computers these days. Logic should dictate that you'd want to keep them top notch so as to not loose valuable time fixing them when crap inevitably hits the fan.
quote: But they can't control a night security guard deciding to use it to browse the web instead of doing his rounds.
quote: You're arguing for an update merely because of age.
quote: If the customer only needs software updates once every 5 years, then that is what the market should bear.
quote: I grew up working with Unix systems, so I'm a bit unsympathetic to Microsoft's growing pains...
quote: That's a very narrow and IT-centric view of how to run a business.
quote: The narrow gap between spending just enough money that things don't go to hell
quote: If someone's computer goes down, you immediately swap in a replacement so they can get back to work with little to no downtime. IT then deals with the broken computer, either fixing it or salvaging usable parts from it to fix other broken computers.
quote: Your server is where you spend the big bucks to maintain 99.999%+ uptime.

Amanda Bynes's odd public behavior – and recent arrest – is worrying one of her old friends.
While calling into Las Vegas radio's Mark and Mercedes show on Wednesday, Lance Bass spoke of Bynes, saying, "It's one of those situations where obviously there's some mental problems there and she's not able to see that. We all are [able to see it]." (The actress's attorney, who's representing her in a DUI case in Los Angeles, says there's nothing to worry about, though, telling PEOPLE recently, "I think Amanda's fine. I have no problems with her whatsoever. She's a fine client.")
Bass produced Love Wrecked in 2005, in which Bynes starred. The movie led to their friendship.
And while Bass didn't indicate how long it's been since the two have spoken, time hasn't stopped him from worrying about the troubled starlet.
"No one is able to get to her," he told the radio station. "I'm actually really scared for her, and I hope someone is able to get to her to give her the help she needs."
Bynes later replied on Twitter: "I ignored Lance Bass on twitter and now he is saying I have a mental illness. Sorry you're an ugly ex boy band member w/ no talent or career. I haven't spoken to Lance Bass in 11 years. To say I have a mental illness out of nowhere makes me lash out! You're making me crazy!"
Lance Bass: I'm Scared for Amanda Bynes

Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll denies romantic involvement with female aide
Carroll: Black women who look like her 'don't engage in relationships like that'
Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll is speaking out about accusations she may have been romantically involved with a female aide.
In an interview with Tampa Bay's 10 News, Carroll said that black women who look like her "don't engage in relationships like that."
IMAGES: History's steamiest political sex scandals
She also noted she's been married for 29 years and that her children and husband know "the type of woman I am."
The accusations are being made by former aide Carletha Cole, who was arrested in October on charges that she gave an illegally taped conversation with another Carroll aide to a newspaper reporter.
Cole contends in a court filing that she walked in on Carroll and a top female aide in a "compromising position" in Carroll's office.
Carroll has denied the accusations.

Excellent value, very versatile
by Mark from Midwest | February 28, 2009
Have had a '93 (143K when sold) and a '99 (101K now). A landlord, am able to haul tools and drywall or snowblower when needed. Van is great in snow. Also, rear window pops up from gate, so ladder hauling in interior is no problem. Able to drive to my office job, hauls clients without truck-stigma. Gets 20mpg. With leather, can haul spouse and dogs/easy cleanup. Very versatile, great all around. However, am kinda nerdy and never understood the must-have-an-SUV-thing. Don't put cheapest brake rotors on front, van is heavy and will warp them. Buy better quality rotors, much cheaper in long run and less annoying. Other than that, the only wierd thing is that carbon deposits have built up on the intakes of both the 93 and the 99. Although they say not-to (in the Haynes manual), I cleaned it with choke cleaner and the gas pedal loosened-up.

1999 Nissan Quest
by Average Driver from California | May 21, 2006
The 1999 Nissan Quest is a very reiiable mini van. After 100,000 miles there was no mechanical problems with exception of a front boot that cracked. The engine has plenty of get up and go when you need it, like when you are merging onto the freeway, passing or getting into traffic from side streets. The air conditioner had the nice feature of a vent control for the middle seat. The only thing I would change is the front bumper that was low enough to scrape on any curb or wheel stop which happened a lot because of how far the front end stuck out in front of the wheels.

This is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Organizational Psychology for Managers.
Our strengths are the things that we enjoy doing. The reason our strengths are strong is because we feel good when we succeed and so we do more. Weaknesses, on the other hand, are often things that do not provide any internal reward no matter how well we do them.
It is very easy to focus people on remediating weaknesses. Unfortunately, this produces neither effective growth nor motivation. There is nothing particularly satisfying about doing something that you never enjoy no matter how hard you work at it or how proficient you might become.
It makes much more sense to focus people on building their strengths. Legendary martial artist Bruce Lee used to say that if you built your strengths they would overcome your weaknesses. Bruce was quite correct: he became a formidable martial artist despite being nearly blind without thick glasses and having one leg so much shorter than the other that he needed special shoes to stand normally. Instead of bogging down in weaknesses, he focused on his strengths.
Focusing on strengths increases motivation and enjoyment. As people become better and better at what they do, you and they will find ways to negate or work around their weaknesses. Along the way, you are increasing their sense of competence, enabling them to take more autonomy, and building the relationship by showing that you care about their growth and development.
It�s worth noting that the Harvard Medical School special health report, �Positive Psychology: Harnessing the power of happiness, mindfulness, and inner strength,� found that focusing on strengths and what people are doing right increased performance by 36% on average. Conversely, focusing on weaknesses decreased performance by 27%. That�s what is known as a Dramatic Difference.
Finally, don�t worry that everyone isn�t good at everything. This is normal. We are not clones.
Balzac preaches real engagement with one's own company and a mindful state of operation, especially by executives � who must remember that culture "just happens" unless and until they learn to recognize that their behaviors play a huge part in creating and cementing it. It covers the full spectrum of corporate life, from challenging bad decisions to hiring, training, motivating teams – and the secrets of keeping people engaged and learning � and/or avoiding actions which do the opposite. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to participate in creating and steering company culture."Sid ProbsteinChief Technology OfficerAttivio � Active IntelligenceStephen Balzac is an expert on leadership and organizational development.

"When I named my son August, I had no idea that the month would end like this!" said the thrilled Hargitay – who, with husband Peter Hermann, welcomed their first child on June 28.
Kiefer Sutherland won his first-ever Emmy – after nine nominations – for best actor in the drama 24. Clutching his statuette, Sutherland said the win meant he'd be having dinner with his father, actor Donald Sutherland, who was also in the Shrine Auditorium.
He called his six years on 24 – which also was named best dramatic series – "nothing short of exceptional."
The New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia Louis-Dreyfus took her second Emmy, this time for leading actress in a comedy series. Her first was for her supporting role as Elaine on Seinfeld.
As the first costar from that seminal sitcom to escape the "Seinfeld curse" and have a success with another show, Louis-Dreyfus said, "I'm not somebody who really believes in curses." Then, holding up her Emmy, she said, "But curse this, baby!"
The Office, starring Steve Carell and based on a British sitcom created by Ricky Gervais, was named best comedy series.
Earlier, the Emmys took a trip down memory lane when Joan Collins, Heather Locklear and 7th Heaven leading man Stephen Collins kicked off a tribute to prolific producer Aaron Spelling, who died in June.
Melrose Place star Locklear said that the "warm, generous and loving" Spelling referred to her as his "lucky penny." Dynasty diva Collins recalled meeting him when he was a struggling actor who was confident he would one day become a successful producer.

Daughter Tori Spelling was seated separately with husband Dean McDermott.
When the awards resumed, The Amazing Race continued its amazing run as best reality show, winning its fourth Emmy and beating such strong contenders as American Idol and Survivor.
HBO's The Girl in the Café, a romantic character drama set against the G8 conference, was named best TV movie. Kelly Macdonald was named best supporting actress for her performance and Richard Curtis was cited for his direction. HBO's Elizabeth I was named best miniseries – and its leading lady, Helen Mirren, best actress in a miniseries.
