A Neopagan leader calls on her students to teach others as she taught them. The misogyny behind Africa's witch hunts is exposed and examined. And a list details 10 of the most famous real-life magicians in history. It's Watery Wednesday, our weekly take on news about the Pagan and magical communities! All this and more for the Pagan News Beagle!
PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.
It's Watery Wednesday and with that comes our Community news post of the week: Canadian Pagans gathering; the Wild Hunt looks back at 2014; an Australian kickstarter; Starhawk as model leader?; witchcraft = Wicca, or not?
The Canadian Gaia Gathering Conference (one of the biggest Pagan gatherings in Canada) is open for registration. (They are looking for presenters, too!) The conference for 2015 will be in Edmonton, Alberta
May 15th to 18th.
Want to catch up on last year's hottest news stories in the Pagan world? The Wild Hunt's 2014 retrospective should do the trick....
Twelve Healing Stars is a yearlong project in cooperation with the Temple of Witchcraft that explores social justice through the lessons of the 12 Zodiac Signs. This is part three.
In today's Watery Wednesday post, we concentrate on news about our Pagan communities and their allies. Big changes at the Wild Hunt; Pagan scholarship prizes; crowdfunding a Pagan funeral; SilverRavenwolf vs. Facebook; and animal sacrifice in Paganism, pro- and -con.
Big news on the Pagan Media front: The Wild Hunt founder and frontman Jason Pitzl-Waters steps down and leaves the keys to TWH media kingdom with new editor Heather Greene....
In our Watery Wednesday post today, we cover community news for Pagans & their allies including: a discrimination claim filed by a (Pagan) Auburn University professor for wrongful termination due to religion; the Air Force no longer requires "so help me God" in enlistment oaths; a UK paper profiles a local Witch; a great article on Canadian Pagans; and the Wild Hunt Pagan news site launches its 2014 Fall fundraising campaign.
Dr. Katharyn Privett-Duren was an award-winning English professor at Auburn University -- until she was terminated suddenly and inexplicably. Now she's filed a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission because she believes she was fired for being Pagan. The Wild Hunt has the story....
I've been meaning to get back to the "Ask Me About Odin" questions, since I have a few of them saved up. I spent most of November writing a book (which I am now about 40,000 words into--probably about halfway through the first draft) at the same time as I was trying to keep my little Etsy business going. Sadly, this didn't leave a lot of time for blogging. Things are still crazy-busy around here (now, after really awesome sales throughout the month of November, I need to work on getting some inventory back in my shop again, plus I am taking two online courses--more about that in another post, perhaps). But this landed in my inbox this morning and I figured, why not write a little something seasonal today?
"I keep hearing from different sources that Odin is the inspiration for Santa Claus, but I hear the same thing about Thor too. Which, if either, is it?"
This past Sunday we had a rare treat: a visiting friend of my partner's drove us to the coast, to one of our favorite spot: Hobbit Beach. I packed my spindle and a braid of hand dyed Portuguese Merino, a libation for the ocean spirits, The White Princess on our Kindle, and a tin of Forest Spirit Salve from Sarah Anne Lawless. Unfortunately, I forgot one essential thing about the Oregon coast: it is COLD (at least 30 degrees colder than inland), even in the summer. So I did not take enough warm things with me (no hoodie, no wool socks, and only one long-sleeves shirt) and ended up having a Raynaud's episode, which made it less fun. I did, thanks to the fact that I'm not Allowed to remove them from my backpack, ever, have hand knitted wool hand warmers with me, and I ended up tightly encasing my hands in those as if they were mittens until the circulation came back (which didn't happen until after we had left the beach).
However, I wanted to commune with the wild ocean spirits as we stand on the threshold of Hunt season, and I can say that I did accomplish that.

HTC One with stock Android is not happening
0. phoneArena 15 May 2013, 22:28 posted on
During the opening day of the Google I/O developer conference on Wednesday, a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy S4 was introduced; powered by stock Android 4.2.2, and sans the manufacturer's TouchWiz, this variant of the flagship Android handset will be priced at $649 from the Google Play Store. So does this mean we might see a (pardon the pun) Sense-less version of the HTC One?...

holly crap! is this the new "Nexus" idea!?!?!? take all android flagships and make them Stock!?!?!? AHHHHH!!!!! AMAAAAZZZIIIINNNNGGGG
60. belovedson (Posts: 988; Member since: 30 Nov 2010)
the bottom line the s4 is the best android experience to date. the nexus 4 has too alot of limitations. including the deal killer for power users like myself.... non removable battery.
the gs4 with touch and gs4 with android is definitely a big deal. i read alot of the biased comments on here. the ability for developers to work on touch whiz themes alongside stock android with open kernal, and boot will allow xda to thrive for along time.
the gs3 still has a huge developer community. the gs4 will be the same and gs5 same again.
in fact the gs2 still has a huge developer community... even by its manufacturer. so in short if you want to use a device for awhile. having an open android and touchwhiz themed device in the same model almost guarantees longevity.
samsung is smart and business savy. i can't say the same for the others

They can't release one anyways. Peter Chou said that the One is going to be the One. Releasing a Google version would make him a hypocrite.

'Makeover,' 'Housewives' capture night
In the first Sunday primetime without pro football since late August, ABC captured the night with strong a two-hour performance of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and a repeat of "Desperate Housewives."
According to preliminary Nielsen estimates, "Extreme Makeover" was the highest-rated show in the 18-49 demo with a 4.1 rating/10 share from 8-10 p.m., drawing 11.6 million viewers. The Endemol-produced skein grew as the evening went on: The first half-hour drew a 3.3/8 and the final half-hour it rose to 4.6/11.
CBS' "Cold Case" (2.6/6, 13.3 million viewers) and a pair of episodes of "The Simpsons" (2.6/6, 5.5 million viewers) tied for second place at 8 o'clock in the demo, though "Cold Case" had more viewers than any other show for the evening, except for "60 Minutes" an hour earlier.
At 9 o'clock, a pair of telepics battled, with NBC's Robert Halmi-produced "The Last Templar" (2.3/6, 8 million viewers) barely edging out the Eye's Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of "Loving Leah" (2.2/5, 11.7 million viewers) in the demo. But because Hallmark skews a much older audience, "Leah" — penned and based on the play by P'nenah Goldstein — CBS could consider this showdown a victory.
Also to the benefit of "Leah," the movie saw a slight increase in total viewership and ratings from 9 to 10 p.m. while "Templar" fell off.
Fox's animated skeins held well against the telepics. A repeat of "Family Guy" (3.1/7, 6.4 million viewers) was second best behind "Makeover" at 9 p.m. and "American Dad" (2.7/6, 5.7 million viewers) was second as well at 9:30.
Both telepics lost in the 10 p.m. hour to a repeat of "Desperate Housewives" (2.5/6, 6.6 million viewers).
Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: ABC, 3.3/8; CBS, 2.3/6; Fox, 2.2/5; NBC, 2.1/5; Univision, 1.0/2; CW, 0.3/1.
In total viewers: CBS, 12.7 million; ABC, 9.6 million; NBC, 8.4 million; Fox, 4.9 million; Univision, 3.0 million CW, 722,000.

Product DescriptionRuger rimfire pistols are some of the most popular handguns made, with over three million sold. In many ways the Standard model is a groundbreaking design, lacking the slide found on conventional pistols. Instead, it sports a cylindrical bolt which cycles inside a tubular receiver in a manner more characteristic of a rimfire rifle. The bolt of the pistol features protruding "ears" at its rear which are grasped and pulled rearward to feed the initial round and cock the action. The comfortable, Luger-style Mark I grip allows for the perfect angle of fire. This single-action target pistol features a hooked front sight with a rear notch, a 2-position safety, and a 10-round magazine. Its grips, metal, and bore are all in good condition.

Signing two major label licensing deals for distribution of his material in the UK and Europe. Keep your ears open for Doman's next big smash, "Runnin", tipped by the music press to be a massive worldwide hit, out February 2009.

Red Sox, Bruins games postponed amid suspect search
Residents told to stay indoors during search
The Red Sox and Boston Bruins games have been postponed as a manhunt continues for one of the Boston marathon bombers.
Boston police made the announcements Friday afternoon. The Red Sox were set to play the Kansas City Royals, while the Bruins were scheduled to face off against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The bombings on Monday killed three people and wounded more than 180 others. Police identified two suspects. One was killed during a shootout with police, and the other was being sought during a massive manhunt across the city and surrounding areas.
Residents of Boston and many communities were told to stay indoors while police searched for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass. He was later taken into custody before 9 p.m.

5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[b] is still in the darkness.
10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister[c] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
Reasons for Writing
Reasons for Writing
I am writing to you, dear children,
because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.
I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, dear children,
because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God lives in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
On Not Loving the World
On Not Loving the World
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them.
16 For everything in the world�the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life�comes not from the Father but from the world.
17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
Warnings Against Denying the�Son
Warnings Against Denying the�Son
18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to�us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[e]
21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.
22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist�denying the Father and the Son.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is what he promised us�eternal life.
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit�just as it has taught you, remain in him.
God�s Children and Sin
God�s Children and Sin
28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

text: Griff, I agree with your comment about the "before PB" system of satisfaction--overstuffed. I've found I have no interest in grains UNLESS someone is offering me some. Weird how there is a knee-jerk reaction somehow. I have no interest when shopping or choosing from a menu. I'm sure Freud would have something to say about that.

Cygnett's Apollo is a hard shell hybrid case that is available for the iPhone 4 and 4s. It has a scratch and fingerprint-resistant surface and a grooved, shock absorbent interior. The Apollo case is available in purple, black, or white. It has a smooth matte finish and grey rubberized accents that make the case really stand out.
From the moment you take the Apollo out of the packaging, you can see how sturdy it is. It is a case that will protect your case from those falls that make you cringe once your precious phone touches the ground. It has cutouts for the iPhone's camera and LED flash, the ring/silent switch, speaker, microphones, headphone jack, and the dock-connector.
Both the volume buttons and the sleep/wake button are covered by a raised, rubber button, which works without any issues. I have had cases in the past where it is difficult to press down on the button, making it nearly impossible to use the case without any issues.
The case fits the iPhone nicely. It has a tight fit around the iPhone, but when you want to remove it, the case comes off easily. The best part about this case is that it comes with a screen protector. This is something more cases need to do, since protecting the screen of an electronic is a big priority to many users.
Overall, I love this case. I love the color of the case I was given, which is purple, and how it stood out. My sister-in-law is currently sporting the case, and she loves it as well. I have yet to see her use a different case on her iPhone since I gave it to her. The case is available on their website for $29.99, which is a good price for this type of case. Check it out now.

Canucks vs. Kings: Opening Night Smorgasbord
Amidst much anticipation, elevated expectations and dreams of the team's first Stanley Cup, the puck finally drops tonight for the Vancouver Canucks' 2010/2011 season.
Can the Canucks live up to their top billing or will they wilt faster than Kate Gosselin's career? They won't answer those questions tonight. This team will be judged on the games they play this spring. But they need to get there first, and tonight is step one of that process.
As we count down the minutes to game time, here are some links to tide you over:
- The Canucks and Kings face off against each other tonight, 40 years to the day, they first faced off in the NHL. The best part of tonight's game? Both teams will wear the same jerseys they wore 40 years ago.
- If you're going to the game, get there early. The Canucks have a full night planned, starting with a Party on the Plaza at 4:00 PM and a pregame ceremony reuniting members of the original 1970 team at 6:45 PM.
- At that time, the Canucks are expected to finally choose between Ginger or Mary Anne as the be the new Canucks captain
- The Canucks have invested $40 million in upgrades to Rogers Arena since the Acquilinis bought the team. Tonight, they'll unveil new lights and sounds that will help us remember that it's Canucks game day. Because we often need reminding. (Seriously though, these sound pretty cool.)
- Peter Schaeffer made the team and is expected to play tonight.
- Ryan Parent hasn't been assigned to the Manitoba Moose and is still practicing with the Canucks. He's not expected to play tonight.
- Kevin Bieksa's still here too.
- After 33 years as the Canucks colour commentator, Tom Larscheid is broadcasting his last game tonight. My thoughts on his retirement are here; Iain MacIntyre and Tony Gallagher have good tribute pieces here and here, respectively.

Mayhem # 2494330
About MeReady to start setting up shoots for 2013!
Former glamour model transitioning back into the fitness/promotional industry. Although I have over 7 years of expierence I am looking to start fresh with a new port more suitable to my current goals and genre.
Looking to network with area photogs (I recently moved back to Ohio) and work on getting some new shots. Looking for trade for time type stuff at this point to get back into the swing of things. The port I have up is limited due to the fact that most of my work has been done in a different style that at this point I am not wanting to display nor get back into.
Looking to get some shots in the following:
Club wear
Fitness clothes/settings
New headshots
Would love to make some new friends in Ohio and get some good shots along the way.

Geopolitical Tensions Weigh on Turkish Assets
Investors in Turkey, having shrugged off the country's tensions with Syria for several months, are now showing the first signs of nerves as tensions escalate, but geopolitical jitters have so far not sparked a dramatic sell-off.
The country's stock index, the Turkey ISE 100, was down 0.3% at 6616.43 while the cost of protecting Turkish government debt against default rose slightly, pushing three basis points wider to 153 basis points, according to data provider Markit.
The Turkish lira weakened against the dollar during Asian trading hours, with the greenback trading at a three-week high of 1.8080 against the lira before giving up some of its gains in early European trade. At 0824 GMT, the dollar was at 1.8044 lira.
Analysts said the muted reaction reflects the longer-term investment horizons of some investors, such as pension funds and insurance companies. "You can't expect those guys to make hectic decisions. While they might hold off with further purchases thus leading to some underperformance, it's too early to assume a massive selloff," said Bartosz Pawlowski, head of Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa strategy at BNP Paribas in London.
Mr. Pawlowski added that the market is probably also complacent because oil prices have so far not rallied.
Early Wednesday in Europe, the November Nymex crude contract was down $0.06 at $88.08 per barrel and the November Brent contract was $0.31 lower at $108.48.
Later Thursday, Turkey's parliament is expected to vote on whether to take further military action against Syria. This "will be important today," said Ozlem Derici, an economist at Ata Invest in Istanbul.
Ms. Derici said she sees little risk of current tensions deteriorating into full-blown war, but if Turkey takes further action it could put the brakes on the country's credit rating, denting investor appetite for Turkish assets.

In her May 22 opinion piece "PPS should find better policies before seeking bond," Lainie Block Wilker seeks to undermine potential public support for a facilities bond measure by using a shotgun approach to attack the district.
While our current education funding crisis owes its genesis to Oregon's extreme property tax limitations and over-reliance on volatile income tax funding, Wilker argues that the voters should not agree to tax themselves to restore an aging and neglected portfolio of buildings. It is optimistic at best to imply that closing and consolidating more facilities will free up large sums of money in administration and building operational costs that will allow the district to offer 25 percent more instruction per day at the high school level. The fact is, there is no connection between operational funding, which comes from the state, and capital improvement funding, which is based on local property tax assessments. The sole exception to this is that PPS is using state funds to patch and prop up 1920s-era buildings with an emaciated maintenance department, while every available dollar is scrimped to provide adequate academic offerings.
Wilker also argues that the best way to serve poorly performing students at poorer schools is to force them to attend more affluent ones. While spending per pupil is significantly more at the smaller schools, this is primarily because they serve higher proportions of poor and academically at-risk students, who require a greater range of differentiation in instruction and more wrap-around services. Though the smallest schools are up for consolidation this year, a process that has already begun with the closing of Humboldt and the Young Women's Leadership Academy, neither equality nor educational success can be achieved by giving each student the same resources regardless of his or her starting point.
Wilker's argument to not rebuild the smallest schools is a formula for perpetuating socio-economic segregation by targeting the schools most adversely affected by the flight and displacement of families. Affluent schools can close the gates when enrollment reaches a maximum and wealthier students will be ensured admission because of their address. Such a system would stifle the trend of new investment in North and Northeast Portland, which is currently propelled by an influx of younger people. PPS should ensure that that investment is rewarded with the same access to good education, in well-functioning buildings so that our neighborhoods will enjoy broad, sustained support and not fall into a cycle of being a steppingstone to somewhere else.
The KPMG audit of PPS was cited by Wilker as justification to cut PPS administration staff even further, even though that audit found that the district did better than the regional and national average for proportion of staff employed as teachers.
Overall, Wilker's arguments conflate and confuse the issues, while advocating for a system of institutionalized inequality based on address, opposition to fixing and modernizing our facilities, and continued silence on solving our ongoing operational funding dilemma.

Q: I volunteer for a cat rescue organization, and we have this gorgeous calico queen who is nearly in constant heat. Several people who pass by our rescue within the pet supply store show an interest in this cat. The fact that she hasn't been spayed and her unpredictable behavior stand in the way of her being adoptable.
I've heard that queens that are spayed while in heat have more complications from the surgery. Is this true, or is it OK to schedule an appointment with our vet to spay her, even though she's in heat? Having all those hormones in her system all the time can't be good for her. We usually spay and neuter intact cats before adoption, and all our other cats are spayed or neutered. She's had at least one litter (semi-feral); she came in with a kitten who has since been adopted.
A: I wouldn't say that queens that are spayed while in heat have more complications from the surgery. When a cat is in heat, the uterus and cervix become thick and swollen, and the blood vessels associated with the ovaries and uterus become engorged, making for a slightly bloodier, technically more demanding surgery. However, I've spayed many cats that were in heat, and it always turned out fine.
Some of my clients waited until the cat was no longer showing signs of heat before bringing her in for surgery. In many of those cases, even though the cat was not showing outward signs of heat, it still took longer for the reproductive system to return to normal and during the surgery the uterus was still very turgid and engorged. So, to me, it doesn't matter.
Any veterinarian that has been in practice for a while has learned to become proficient at spaying cats in all stages of their reproductive cycle. Cats should be spayed as soon as possible, whether it is to prevent the cat from becoming pregnant or, as in this case, to hasten the adoption process.

My Vet told me I have to wait 4 wks after heat. I just reached that point & she appears to b in heat again. Meowing, raising her rear end!
Jordan Millvale, PA
I also want to say that the low cost clinic I am using is Animal Friends who I have the utmost faith in. So it is not a fliy by night place. Great reputation and very caring. So I feel better FOR SURE> thanks again
tHANK YOU FOR THIS ANSWER. mY CAT CONSTANTLY GOES INTO HEAT AND i HAVE TO USE A LOW COST CLINIC AND SCHEDULE AHEAD OF TIME. sHE JUST STARTED AGAIN AND IS BEING SPAYED IN 2 DAYS. i AM SO GLAD i WONT HAVE TO RESCHEDULE AND WAIT A MONTH. tHANK YOU. i FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT NOW AND NOT SO WORRIED.
Ann Braintree, MA
My Cat Stella is a year old and I believe she just went into her first heat appx a month ago.... about 3 days ago she started heat again and I contacted a vet whom said she could spay her while in heat..... well, when I went to pick her up, she was so out of it..(which somewhat understandable...) they told me her Uterus was "Slightly longer" than usual..... and her stitches are longer than usual......they handed me pain meds and said watch her, no jumping, no other pets, no kids ect..... for 7 to 10 days...... In their paper they gave me when I first dropped her off it said none of the above for 3 days......... well stupid me..... said ok...... now, as I research, they say spaying while in heat is complicate...... My Stella growls at me runs from me and totally hates me...... shes shaved from down below up to her front paws..... Im sick and concerned...... please help....

In my opinion, merely watching the city go about its business is a sight to behold. Do yourself a favor and spend some time on a park bench or the like and see what the foot traffic looks like. Of course, you've probably come to New York City to see more than Central Park joggers or harried Manhattanites. New York does have some iconic landmarks; by taking a bus and walking tours, you'll be sure to catch the highlights.
One of my favorites places for New York City sightseeing is Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. This amazing gift from France is inspiring in its story and massive scale, and it brings up fond memories for me of Ghostbusters II. Even if you've never seen that movie, it's hard not to be in awe of the Lady. Ferries to Ellis Island leave from Battery Park.
Of all the touristy things to do, I really enjoy Times Square. I know that in recent years, grizzled cynics decried the corporatization (yes, there are a lot of chain restaurants) of Times Square, but there's just something about all those people busying under the glow of all those lights that fascinates me (see also: Shibuyu Crossing in Tokyo).
Other sights you'll want to see include the Brooklyn Bridge, Yankee Stadium and the Empire State Building. Try a New York City Hop-on Hop-off tour for these and many other famed points of interest.

Season three slightly below season two
"Sons of Anarchy" ended its third season with 3.6 million viewers tuning in, the second most-watched episode of the season after the September premiere.
FX motorcycle club drama is the most-watched show in the history of the cabler and the network gave it a season-four pickup in October. Averages for season three are slightly below season two, but FX was embroiled in a transmission fee dispute with Dish Network that resulted in four episodes not being shown to Dish customers. About 600,000 viewers per episode were shut out of watching "Sons."
DVR numbers, however, are on the increase and when those are figured in, the two seasons might be relatively even. DVR usage has gone up significantly in the last year and live + 7 figures are, accordingly, on the upswing. This season "Sons" has seen a 40% increase in total viewers when live + 7 numbers are included.
The "Sons" season three premiere drew 4.1 million viewers, with 2.8 million in the 18-49 demo. Tuesday's episode drew 2.4 million in the demo.
Wednesday offered another FX sign-off as "Terriers" airs its final episode of the season. Although reviews have been strong, especially as the season ramped, up, ratings for the skein have been poor. There's a strong chance the episode could be a series finale.
Kurt Sutter exec produces "Sons" with John Linson and Art Linson. Skein, which stars Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal, is produced by FX Prods. and Fox 21.

This strategic report provides key insights into the strategic business aspects of Oshkosh Corporation through a quantitative SWOT analysis based on the Strategic Factor Analysis Summary (SFAS) framework incorporating a holistic assessment as well as comprehensive analysis of business structure, performance, strategies, plans, initiatives & outlook against the backdrop of an evolving industry landscape & shifting global dynamics.
About Strategic Factor Analysis Summary (SFAS) Framework
Strategic Factor Analysis Summary(SFAS) matrix, also referred to as Quantitative SWOT Analysis, is a framework developed by T. L. Wheelen and J. D. Hunger, which is used widely across organizations globally as a key strategic planning tool. The framework trifurcates an organization's operating environment into Societal, Task & Internal environment respectively with the societal & task environments together constituting the firm's external environment:
--Societal Environment: Refers to Generic Macroeconomic forces & factors at play
--Task Environment: Comprises of industry environment that includes customers, suppliers, competitors etc.
--Internal Environment: Refers to the firm's internal structure, resources, capabilities & functioning that form the basis of firm's strengths & weaknesses.
The framework, thus, outlines, summarizes & generates an insightful snapshot of key strategic factors of an organization based on a comprehensive external environmental assessment to identify potential opportunities & pertinent threats based on an External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS) matrix along-with a detailed analysis of organization's internal environment to identify core strengths & strategic weaknesses through an Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS) matrix. The framework finally reviews the firm's potential strategic options.
The framework generates a snapshot of the prevailing, overall strategic equation for an organization at a given point in time by identifying, weighing, prioritizing & ranking strategic factors in the internal & external environment based on their significance & potential degree of impact along-with the organization's corresponding response to the factors.
The framework, thus, scores over the traditional SWOT analysis framework in terms of its ability to quantify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats respectively based on the potential degree of effect of each strategic factor being analyzed and the organization's commensurate degree of responsiveness to that thereby making it much more effective from the perspective of strategic planning and from a competitive assessment & analysis standpoint.
Relevance & Usefulness of the Report:
The report provides insights & inputs to be incorporated into the broader strategic planning & decision making processes and will be essential from a competitive analysis standpoint as well.
The report will be useful for:
-- Identification of key strategic factors for the company classified & categorized under Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats
-- Assessment of the potential degree of impact of Strategic Factors on the company.
-- Assessment & evaluation of the company's degree of responsiveness as well as Strategic Orientation towards the External Environmental factors.
-- Competitive Assessment as well as Comprehensive Strategic Business Analysis
-- Gaining access to Key Inputs to be incorporated into the Strategic Planning & Decision-Making Process
-- Identifying & highlighting areas for making potential Strategic Changes, Adjustments & Realignment
-- Gaining a Strategic Perspective on the Business & Strategic Outlook for 2013
-- Gaining access to Key Industry Trends, Issues & Challenges, Risk Factors & Industry Outlook
-- Analysis of Forces Driving as well as restraining the Industry & their overall Dynamics
For Whom:
The analysis will be essential for those having strategic interest in the company or the industry & will be especially useful for key decision makers, top management of companies, suppliers, vendors, current & potential investors, industry & company analysts & those associated with the industry or the company.
The report is comprehensive yet concise & compact at the same time; built on the Microsoft PowerPoint platform; thus, rendering it custom-built for meetings & presentations while enabling & ensuring prompt and informed decision making as a ready self-reckoner. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

Fundamentals of Literature (2nd edition) teaches the student literary analysis by discussing six literary elements: conflict, character, theme, point of view, structure, and tone. The student analyzes and evaluates authors, works, and themes in light of Scripture. The book includes an English translation of Rostand's drama Cyrano de Bergerac.
Teacher Information: Miss Pringle teaches this course. Read more about her by clicking on the Instructor tab.
What's Included: This kit does not include textbooks. Click on the Contents tab to learn more about what is included with this product.
Scheduling Information: 92 days (1 semester); lessons are 30 minutes in length.
Miss Pringle's interest in literature began at an early age through her mother's almost daily reading aloud of good literature as a part of her family's school day. The past 10 years of focused study and teaching in the disciplines of Creative Writing and English have increased Miss Pringle's delight and enthusiasm in analyzing and evaluating all genres of literature. "Everyone loves a story. A well-crafted story, poem, essay, or drama delights me on several levels, but it's the benefit of gaining an increased understanding and appreciation of God's inspired literature, His Word, that motivates me to apply and grow in my own literary analysis skills and to do my best to instill in my students a similar desire for and delight in literature. It's my prayer that as we enjoy great literary works together we will be inspired to love and pursue God's truth presented in His greatest Book of literature."

Antarctic team digs deep to predict climate future
WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Nancy Bertler and her team took a freezer to the coldest place on Earth, endured weeks of primitive living and risked spending the winter in Antarctic darkness, to go get ice -- ice that records our climate's past and could point to its future.
They drilled out hundreds of ice cores, each slightly longer and wider than a baseball bat, from the half-mile-thick ice covering Antarctica's Roosevelt Island. The cores, which could total 150,000 years of snowfall, almost didn't survive the boat ride to New Zealand because of a power outage.
Bertler hopes the material will help her estimate how long the Ross Ice Shelf would last under the current rate of climate change before falling apart.
Evidence from the last core her team hauled out needs further study, but it contains material that Bertler said appeared to be marine sediment that formed recently -- at least in geological terms measured in thousands of years.
That would bolster scientists' suspicions that the shelf could collapse again if global temperatures keep rising, triggering a chain of events that could raise sea levels around the world.
"From a scientific point of view, that's really exciting. From a personal point of view, that's really scary," said Bertler, a senior research fellow at the Antarctic Research Centre at the Victoria University of Wellington.
The ice shelf acts as a natural barrier protecting massive amounts of ice in West Antarctica, and that ice also could fall into the ocean if the shelf fell apart. Scientists say West Antarctica holds enough ice to raise sea levels by between 6.5 feet and 20 feet if significant parts of it were to collapse.
Ted Scambos, the lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado, said that even under the worst-case scenario he thinks it would take at least 500 years for West Antarctica's ice to melt.

Album Review
In his 60-some years as a public performer,
Pete Seeger
has left an indelible footprint on popular music. As a member of
the Almanac Singers
in the '40s and
the Weavers
a decade later,
helped midwife the urban folk boom of the '60s. His comfortable voice and graceful banjo style give his many compositions and folk adaptations an easy and elegant dignity, and on the political front, well, he's been a kind of canary in the coal mine for decades, speaking (and singing) out on any number of vital issues. This wonderful five-disc set (each disc comes with its own booklet) shows
at his calm, plainspoken best as he runs through the American folk songbook accompanied only by guitar or banjo. The discs were originally released by
Moses Asch
's Folkways Records as individual LPs between 1957 and 1962 (in all,
recorded some 40 albums for Folkways between 1950 and 1964), and Smithsonian Folkways reshuffled and reissued them as stand-alone CDs in the digital era, but put together like this, they make a grand and sweeping survey of the songs America has been singing for a century or two, all filtered through
's wise, politically aware perspective. It adds up to some six hours of music, history, and memories, a fine testament to
, Folkways, and the grand music of the American people.

Soldier Blue DVD|
Sometimes the truth is lost in battle. Honus Gent a U.S. soldier devoted to his duty and Cresta a white woman who had lived with the Cheyenne for two years are the only two survivors of a slaughter committed by the Cheyennes on a cavalry group. Together they are hoping to stay alive until they reach the cavalry's base camp. As they travel Honus feels a growing affection for Cresta but he is disgusted with her anti-American beliefs as she has more sympathy for Indians than for the U.S. government. They arrive at the cavalry outpost on the eve of an attack on a Cheyenne village where Honus will learn who has been telling him the truth.from£8.84 | RRP:

CALCUTTA - The rain brought Senior Night to a halt.
The Beaver Local girls' tennis team squared off against local-rival East Liverpool Tuesday at home on Senior Night.
The two teams were able to complete two matches, and there were two matches being played before the match was called with Beaver Local leading East Liverpool, 2-0.

Beaver Local is 8-9 on the season. The match will be continued at some point next week.
"One more win and we will be .500 for the second year in a row," Beaver Local head coach Jamie Thomas said. "That is very good for the teams that we play."
Both of the completed matches were singles' matches, and both Beavers' victories came in straight sets.
Beaver Local's Jordan Reinke defeated Sutton Stacey, 6-1, 6-3, at No. 1 singles, and the Beavers' Samantha Bishop defeated Alissa Geisse, 6-1, 6-3.
Players from Beaver Local were leading the other two matches when the match was called.
The Beavers' Jesslyn Taylor was leading Mallory Billingsley in their No. 3. singles match. Taylor won the first set, 6-0. The second set was just getting underway when the match was called.
In doubles, Beaver Local's Kristi Kline and Destiney Stevens were leading Emily Orlo and Courtney Fitch, 4-o, in the first set.
"This was my hope. We are a little farther ahead than I thought we would be," Thomas said. "We hoped we would be here. We would like to get one match and do it over again. We should have won it. If we would have won that match, we would be ever farther ahead. It was in the beginning of the season. Everyone was nervous."
Beaver Local has six seniors on the roster this season. They are Reinke, Bishop, Taylor, Sevens, Katie Carroll and Toree Jackson.
"Jordan, Sam and Jesslyn, all three players have played every varsity match, so they have meant quite a bit to the program," Thomas said. "Jordan normally plays No. 3 singles, and she does very well at that position. Jesslyn and sam both play doubles, and they have made our doubles very strong."
Last year, Beaver Local was led by standout Emily Dawson. Dawson played No. 1 singles for the Beavers.
"Last year was easy," Thomas said. "We had one match won every time. It's been a little harder this year.
"Kristi Kline is playing No. 1 singles, and she is doing a great job. She is a sophomore. She is doing a great job. She has really improved tremendously. We expect the same from her next year and the year after."
The six seniors are the leaders of the team this year.
"Yes, they are," Thomas said. "Maturity wise they are the leaders.
"They are six great girls. I will hate to see them leave."
Beaver Local and East Liverpool are scheduled to open up Ohio Division II Eastern District Sectional play Monday at Dover City Park. Cambridge, Claymont, Dover and West Holmes will also be competing at the sectional tournament.
The sectional draw is scheduled for Sunday.
"I want to see us win a couple of rounds," Thomas said. "It is tough. There are only two spots. "It is really hard without having an Emily. I would like to make it to Tuesday and go from there."

[EXCERPT] Cohen: Vigilant to World Threats
By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service
[24 Jan 1997]
WASHINGTON -- The spread of weapons of mass destruction presents the gravest threat the world has ever known, said William S. Cohen, the new defense secretary.
Cohen talked about the nation's military strategy and world threats during his Jan. 22 Senate confirmation hearings and in a Pentagon interview Jan. 23.
"Our strategy is to preserve and promote peace, prosperity and democracy by being militarily strong, by being forward deployed and by being diplomatically engaged," he said. The Cold War may be over, but the United States must remain vigilant and its armed forces prepared to counter newly emerging threats, he said.
Many countries are acquiring missile technology and developing chemical and biological weapons for theater-level and long-range use, Cohen said. Some Middle East nations have vast quantities of chemical and biological weapons, and bomb-building instructions are available on the Internet, he said.
"The threat is out there. It's real," he said. "It's not something that will come tomorrow; it's here today. We have to devise [not only] deterrent strategies, but [also] greater detection and protective measures against that kind of threat both here at home and for our troops who are forward deployed."
Second only to the high threat of weapons of mass
destruction, he said, is the threat of terrorism. Rogue nations
are acquiring an ability to infiltrate the United States, he
added. Terrorists used a bomb with a chemical weapons capability
in the attack at New York City's World Trade center, he said.
"Had that chemical weapon then exploded and dispersed, it could
have caused enormous damage in that city."

Take heart, Cleveland Browns fans. Today, NFL owners unanimously voted to approve Jimmy Haslam as the team's new owner and, in the wake of a 1-5 start, the long-suffering team is making some big changes. As their first step, they're installing Joe Banner '75 as CEO in place of current team president Mike Holmgren, who will retire at the end of the season.
Banner, who studied economics at Denison, previously served as president of the Philadelphia Eagles from 2001 to 2012. After graduating from Denison, he worked as a sports reporter in Philadelphia for a time before opening a chain of clothing stories in Boston called Designer's Clothing. He later headed up the non-profit organization City Year before joining the Eagles in 1994.
New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told The Cleveland Plain Dealer that Banner will begin his new role on October 25.

Woman accused of hit-and-run on truckFebruary 15,2014Woman accused
of hit-and-run
BENNINGTON A North Bennington woman was charged Monday with a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage, after police said they cited her Jan. 24 because the man driving the truck she allegedly hit called police and stayed on the phone with them until they caught up to her.
Liza LaFountain, 43, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to the charge. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, police said they got a call Jan 24 around 8:35 a.m. from a man who said his truck had been hit by a van while he was driving in North Bennington. The man said the crash took place near the intersection of Main and Bank streets after the woman driving the van went through a stop sign without stopping and hit his truck.
The man said the woman driving the van didnt stop so he followed her. He stayed on the phone with police until they were able to stop her.
LaFountain told police she felt a bump but didnt know what it was. She said she hadnt stopped because she was taking her son, who was in the van with her, to school.
Police said LaFountain, who has no criminal record in Vermont, also told them the crash took place in a challenging spot for her because the sun was in her eyes and frost was partially obscuring the windshield.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

Please put in the picture me what it's resembling to stop smoking cold turkey?
that's what i plan to do tomorrow and i want to know what i'm in for. lol
You'll want to strip your skin off and spring out the window into a pool of saline water..
you'll be arguing near yourself for two weeks until the craving stops you'll hear little voices surrounded by your head axiom things like travel on one wont hurt dont be silly take a puff
very well i dont know what u are talkin about but if u are discussion about weed.
1.dont dance around ppl the will use it in front of you or even natter about it next to you because you will crave it
2. get rid of adjectives of your lighters.
3. get rid of bowl, bong, papers.
4.keep hold of your mind off of it, play video games or somethin resembling that.
5. the first week is the hardest,
I like Tyler J's answer, it is similar next to smoking cigs.
You'll be irritable and short-tempered, especially on day 2-3. You'll bring the oral fixation: you'll constantly need to put something surrounded by your mouth, especially food because your sense of taste will return. Be guarded: this is where the immensity gain comes from. Stock up on veggies, fruits, and other low-calorie snacks.
Don't drink alcohol excessivly as this will also have you craving cigs resembling crazy. Try changing up your routine, limiting or avoiding things that you would generally do that cigs were a cog of. Try getting some exercise as this will lessen the cravings. Also, try going to a healthfood store and getting some nicotine-free smoking cessation tablets. They'll curb the cravings and lessen the withdrawal.
Once you're ancient the first 3 days, then the first three weeks, you'll be set!
Best of luck!
For the most section, when you deal near withdrawal, you'll lately have to tough it out, but nearby are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may support to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...
Drinking dampen will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may lend a hand as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even pious amounts of fiber and water help some people (although it's not extraordinarily comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).
All that person said, it's likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your later pill (it's never as long as it feels approaching it is). Your neurotransmitters don't take too utterly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another defining thing to transcribe is that no matter how bleak it gets, taking more of the drug will single make the debt last longer and will be harder on you surrounded by the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!
Here's a tip from Dr. Richard Schulze.
He says to rob lobelia. It's an herb that reduces the cravings some. It'll also sustain get the nicotine out of your system faster which is what keep people addicted...that and the tactile renunciation.
The lips and fingers are two of the most sensitive parts of the body, and as you would expect smoking involves both a lot. That's where on earth the carrots and celery come surrounded by handy..they keep your fingers and maw occupied.
BTW, the means of access Richard Schulze suggests quitting is to replace one cigarette the first day next to one capsule of lobelia. On the second daylight, it's two for two. Keep increasing like approaching that, until around the 4th or 5th day where on earth you might just quit totally lacking too much problem. (Don't take adjectives the lobelia at once, just substitute one for respectively cigarette you would have smoked but didn't throughout the sunshine.)
Lobelia is available at health food stores.
at hand are a few things to remember if you want to suceed...first..nicotine fits only final about three min. but come surrounded by clusters...second..they only come once so when you enjoy one your one step closer to quitting...third, use your mind to help you by seeing yourself not want one and that they weakness nasty respectively time you have one...the human mind excepts anything as true inwardly 90 days...you wont fight yourself...four..you cant break a mannerism but you can replace it...learn something clean you always required to...make a reward system so you enjoy no loss but gain...five...drink lots of water to flush the nicotine out..and most of adjectives..either your a smoker or your not...once you put it down..do it for one month...at one month..do it for three months...and preserve this up till your 30 years past...similar to me...it works...
aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg... even after you quit

Read any trashy books lately?
Colene Vogel
Technical Services Program Manager
APWA Kansas City Office
If you really want to study solid waste and are struggling to find good resources, you're not alone. You can't pick up textbooks on solid waste management at your local bookstore. If you're trying to start a new program or evaluate an existing one, you'll have to dig a little deeper to find good information.
A great source of solid waste information is the EPA Office of Solid Waste. They have several publications that are available at no charge, either online (www.epa.gov/osw/) or hard copy. A few of their titles are standards for every solid waste manager's bookshelf:
Their collection of Environmental Fact Sheets is worth a look too. These can be great as attachments for council or board reports.
Solid waste publications are available in the APWA bookstore online. Beneficial Landfill Reuse was a project of the Solid Waste Management Committee a couple of years ago. Will Work for Free: What Volunteers Can Do for Public Works was a new publication at last year's Congress. Many of the examples in the book come from solid waste divisions. The Solid Waste Management Committee is planning a new publication that should be out later this year. The book is a rate study for solid waste. (For more on rate studies, turn to Marc Rogoff's article on page 42.)
If you're researching solid waste ordinances or RFPs (Request for Proposals), the good news is that many municipalities now make these available online. Unfortunately, you may have to visit the websites of several cities before you find what you're looking for. The infoNOW Communities on apwa.net are a good place to request this type of information.
There are, of course, some great magazines that cover solid waste management and sometimes a search of back issues can turn up pearls of wisdom. Articles on innovative projects are certainly a good source of inspiration. As always, this March issue of the Reporter is full of articles on solid waste topics.
In addition to providing the articles in this issue, the Solid Waste Management Committee will also present three sessions at this year's Congress. Look for sessions on franchising and contracting, curbside recycling alternatives and methods, and benchmarking.
Members of the Solid Waste Management Committee are: Marc Rogoff, Ph.D. (Chair), Project Director, SCS Engineers, Tampa, FL; Keith Howard, Deputy Director, Solid Waste, Lee County, FL; Charlie Jones, P.E., Director of Public Works, City of Reading, PA; Ziad Mazboudi, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer, City of San Juan Capistrano, CA; Cynthia Mitchell, Resource Development Advisor, Midwest Assistance Program, Columbia, MO; and Rick Person, Project Manager, City of St. Paul, MN. At-Large Director George Crombie serves as Board Liaison to the committee and Colene Vogel is Staff Liaison. Information on the committee can be found at apwa.net by choosing "Technical Committees" and "Solid Waste Management."
Colene Vogel can be reached at (800) 848-APWA or (816) 595-5221.

There is no MLS number. The property is not listed on the MLS. Realty Trac does tend to mislead a lot of people, by posting their public notices on Trulia.
I would be glad to assist you in finding some homes that are on the market for sale. My contact info is:
Jerry Flynn
Old West Realty Inc.
I'm not sure whether you have been formally Pre-Approved. As far as buying, this is your first step (not a pre-qualification, see:. http://www.Steven-Anthony.com/default.aspx?pp=39377 for the difference between the two) so you can be ready to act when you need to, or be aware of any issues that may prevent you from buying when you want to.
To avoid being "RealtyTracked" again, and assuming you would like to continue searching for a property on your own, do so via http://www.Realtor.com as they load ALL listings from ALL Assoc. of Realtors MLS systems automatically. Once a property goes to "pending" it will not show.
If you would like me to set you up with an automated "search agent" that emails you candidate homes meeting your search criteria (price, square feet, bed/bath, etc..) just shoot me an email with what you are looking for.
Best Regards, -Steve
RealtyTrac has very questionable buisness practices.
If you are interested in homes in Lafayette or elsewhere in the San Ramon Valley and Lamorinda, I would be delighted to help you. Please contact me for an initial discussion.

text: Winter Beauty & Use Collection —MAV For me, a big part of accepting the oncoming winter season, which seems to have arrived in Maine this weekend (burr!), has been to create a very wintery Beauty & Use Collection. This new Collection, arriving in our shop on December 2nd, communicates how I dream of winter. Blacks, navys, greys, creams … dots, plaids, checks, stripes. Pieces to layer with your favorite heavy sweaters and warm tights. Layering patterns and textures is how I make it through winter, after all. I am excited to show you my new Blouses … … my new Wool Scarves … … my new Sleeveless Dresses. I am excited for you to see the fabrics. Some came from far away places and some I, and SCB, stumbled upon 3191 miles away. My seamstress and I have pre-washed the fabrics where need-be and we have worn and worked the patterns. We know them inside and out. I feel they are truly beautiful and special. You deserve that. p.s. I want to thank the beautiful Betsy, as ever, for being my model muse. xo, B. —MAV Share TWITTER FACEBOOK TUMBLR PINTEREST EMAIL

Looking for Dowie ancestors
Henry Butler Dowie was born in Lambeth, London, England & was sent to Tasmania as a convict on the ship "John Pirie". He married Barbara Angus on 31 Oct. 1850 in Launceston, Tasmania.
Henry Butler Dowie was a Parkhurst Boy. He was, in fact, one of the original 102 juvenile offenders received at Parkhurst Prison when the institution was officially opened on that date. His Gaolers Report commented that his conduct had been good, that he was single and could both read and write. Henry Butler Dowie was discharged from Parkhurst Prison on 31/05/1842 in readiness for transportation to New Zealand. He was employed as an apprentice surveyor in Auckland on his arrival. He stole money from his employer and was transported to Van Dieman's land on the John Pirie. On 27/06/1848 he was granted his Ticket of Leave. Henry Butler Dowie became a respected member of the community, witnessed particularly in 1866 by his election and appointment as a local councillor in the newly-established municipality of Evandale (near Launceston). His wife, Barbara, died on the 24/11/1868, aged 44 (no cause specified). He was to marry for a second time on the 23/01/1873, his bride 27 year old Sarah Ann Bryan, a local Evandale girl. There were 7 children born to Barbara and 3 to Sarah. Henry Butler Dowie was my great great grandfather.
I am researching for a PhD on the Parkhurst Boys, of whom, as you say, Henry Butler DOWIE was one......transported first to Auckland, NZ, and then after re-offendng to VDL. My database for him is quite substantial and I am more than happy to exchange information if you would like to contact me.

Germany Sees Enders Heading EADS-BAE as Jockeying Starts
Germany's Tom Enders should take the helm of a merged European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. with the U.K.'s BAE Systems Plc, the economic-policy spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel's party said.
Enders, the EADS chief executive officer who previously ran its Airbus SAS unit, "is the right man to lead or co-lead this fusion," Michael Fuchs, a CDU deputy leader, said today in an interview in Berlin. "I applaud him and his team."
Jockeying for management influence underscores the political dimension of the bid to form a pan-European group with a market value of about $45 billion encompassing civil jets, warplanes and nuclear submarines. Germany's Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported that the government has reservations about such a merger, while France declined to comment and the U.K. indicated it has yet to decide.
"We are working with the companies to ensure the public interest is properly protected," Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman, Steve Field, told reporters in London today. "It's a commercial matter. They've been keeping us informed of their discussions and will continue to do so."
The potential combination "is being examined," Merkel told reporters in the eastern German town of Koethen. The German Economy Ministry said earlier that the government had been asked to support the deal and is studying "all relevant questions" relating to the proposed merger.
EADS Ownership
EADS has moved to the French city of Toulouse, already the home of Airbus. The French government owns 15 percent, German carmaker Daimler AG controls 22.5 percent, of which 7.5 percent is owned by German federal states and some banks, and the Spanish government owns 5.4 percent. Decisions on the merger will be taken in close consultation with France, the German government said.
"It's a strategic discussion," French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg said in an interview on France Inter radio, declining to comment further.
"French and German influences seem to be safeguarded, but politicians need time to gain an overview," Fuchs said. "What's important is that Enders and top management of the companies get the political backing now that they need."
