Hawaiian slang. Linguistically an accurate translation word for word from Hawaiian to the english language. Some call it broken english. Why pidgeon? Why not?

A prefered way of spelling "Pigeon" among many people. The reason for this is that many people say "pid-jun" rather than "pig-eon" which suggests there is a 'd' in the word.
Pidgeons are just flying rats.
Pidgeons are funny.
Hey look a pidgeon eating stones!

Similar to a bilbo, a pidgeon was a character during games of AD&D who wasn't given much chance of survival. What seperated a bilbo from a pidgeon was not bad luck but a staggeringly poor performance during combat. Custom dictates that other players must coo repeatedly when a pidgeon is trying to attack someone.

Keith Giles is an author, blogger and freelance copywriter in Orange County, California. WHAT IS SUBVERSIVE? It's a systematic overthrow of one system or power by those working from within. Jesus said the Kingdom of God was immediately accessible to all who follow Him. This is the Gospel message. This is subversive.
Thursday, May 27, 2010
I think for most of my life I have confused contentment with complacency. The differences are obvious, of course, but somehow I've missed the point of what Paul speaks of in Phillipians 4 when he says that he has "learned the secret of being content in any and every situation."
A quick summary of complacency is - "Stop caring and you'll feel a whole lot better."
Most of my life I've found myself falling back on this mantra whenever things don't go my way or life offers up one of those unwanted surprises. My reaction has often been to pull back from whatever is causing me pain and to retreat emotionally, if not physically. Someone hurts me, I ignore them. Someone insults me, I make up my mind never to talk to them again. Someone injures my pride, I begin to cut them off from the part of myself that once cared about them.
Of course, this reaction is in direct conflict with the instructions that we've received from Jesus. He tells those of us who intend to follow Him that whenever someone insults us we should bless them. When someone hurts us, we're to pray for them. When someone injures our pride, we're meant to humble ourselves and forgive them anyway.
This is where following Jesus becomes more than difficult, it begins to be seem flat out impossible. I just don't have that in me. At least not right away. I may be able to forgive someone who insults me after a few weeks, or months, but not instantly. My ability to forgive is hindered by my need to justify myself. Sometimes, as strange as it sounds, I feel the need to hang on to the pain longer than necessary. I suppose to justify my own sense of injustice or to make sure that the other person can see just how deeply they've hurt me - and perhaps increase their sense of guilt over what they've done to someone as innocent and kind as me - I allow my wounds to fester and I withold forgiveness.
What would it look like for me to really respond in love to someone when they insult me or injure me? I wonder if I can actually learn to follow Jesus in this way and turn the other cheek instead of harboring anger and resentment as long as possible before I allow myself to forgive.
When Paul talks about contentment, he's speaking of trusting God so completely that nothing can shake him. His peace is not dependent upon his circumstance. His confidence in God is not changed by the environment he's in. He is fully resting on God and his joy is not influenced by what people say about him or how much money is in his pocket.
Many of us are fond of quoting the very end of this passage in Phillipians. I know that when I was a teenager this was my life verse: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phillipians 4:13)
I used to believe that verse meant that, whatever I wanted to happen for my life, God would make it happen if I just had enough faith. Instead, the verse is saying the exact polar opposite. It's saying that God will give me the faith and the strength I need to be happy and content with whatever circumstance I find myself in.
A better paraphrase might me: "I can endure anything life throws at me, even if I never get my way or live out my dreams, because the power of Jesus lives in me and all of my hope is in Him alone."
Lately I've been wrestling against my own complacent attitudes. I've wanted to pull away from everyone and everything that causes me pain. I've witheld forgiveness from people who've hurt my feelings instead of letting go and asking Jesus to give me the grace to love and forgive.
Paul's words here are compelling because they suggest to me that there is a secret I need to learn; How to be content in every situation. But, to learn that secret I first have to abandon my own philosophy of complacency and emotional retreat.

Man. This one just...hurts. That paraphrase...."even if I never get my way or live out my dreams". It's just painful

I am working on a blog post about the dangers of complacency, and I came across your blog while researching a verse. This really blessed me and convicted me- so thank you for your words. It definitely hit me where it hurts.

Any etras? What condition and will there be any addiotional fees shipping ta or BG check it all adds up.
I have not been up on the newes SW guns since income is zero at this time.
I would start at $600 and have the cash in hand. You can always have the rest in another pocket or two.
Or offer some trade goods to boot if he is interested.
My last trade involved no cash at all. Both of us were happy at the end and I have a Python 4 inch blue.
December 11, 2010, 04:52 PM
Thanks, that's not the gun I am eyeing though. The one I want is like this but in .357
Was going to trade my Bushmaster for it plus get 250 cash from the guy locally.
December 11, 2010, 06:39 PM
I think he would be getting the better deal depending on what you have into the Bushmaster.
beauty is in the eye of the unfolder.
December 11, 2010, 06:41 PM
The thing is I don't even really want the gun. I really wanted a SP101, but I thought with this being a S&W it might be worth something.
December 11, 2010, 09:10 PM
I had an SP101 in 22 a long time ago. Another one I should have kept it.
I have a good friend with a 3 inch SP 101 and he loves it. Getting better groups than his Trooper 357 and able to be carried easily options on moad of carry are greater than a 7 shot SW.
I would pass on this deal. Wait for an SP101 .

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Cypress Semiconductor (NASDAQ: CY ) have popped today by upwards of 11% after the company reported better-than-expected earnings.
So what: Revenue in the second quarter added up to $193.5 million, which translated into non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.14. Those results decimated the Street's forecasts of $182.8 million in sales and $0.07 per share in adjusted profit.
Now what: Adjusted gross margin improved sequentially to 53.1%, and the top-line growth was attributed to strong performance of Cypress' TrueTouch controllers. The chip maker's newest generation programmable system-on-a-chip, PSoC 4, has booked its first revenue, making it the fastest new product ramp. Sales are expected to grow again sequentially heading into the next quarter, which should translate into earnings leverage.

The band Daniel Klingbeil directs has to turn down 40 to 50 jobs a year, which is an enviable position for any music group.
But this isn't just any band, and the 42 musicians in it have a special job to do. They travel the state - and even the world - promoting America and its soldiers to audiences everywhere, so they hate to turn any job away, Staff Sgt. Klingbeil said.
"The biggest part of our job is community relations,'' he said.

A few representatives of the 28th Division Band — (from left) SST?Jeremy Hetrick of Altoona, Sgt. Jason?Burkle of Altoona, First Sgt. Robert Baranik of Altoona and SSG?Daniel Klingbeil of Hollidaysburg — practice for the upcoming concert.
Klingbeil is the director of the U.S. Army National Guard 28th Division Band, which will play the first of a series of free concerts at the Mishler Theatre in Altoona on July 2.
The 28th Infantry Division, nicknamed the "Keystone'' division, is the oldest division in the U.S. Army. It formed in 1879, and elements of it have roots dating back to Benjamin Franklin's time. Members have participated in all major conflicts, from the Revolutionary War to the current war in Afghanistan.
The band's second role is to support the division - and the military itself - by playing at ceremonies, like those at Fort Indiantown Gap, Klingbeil said. A third responsibility is maintaining troop morale, he added.
Fact Box
If you go
What: 28th Division ("Keystone") Band
When: 7:30 p.m. July 2
Where: Mishler Theatre, 1208 12th Ave., Altoona
Tickets: Free - to reserve tickets, call the Mishler box office at 944-9434 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, prior to the event. The box office is not open on weekends.
That job has gotten tougher as the Army has split itself into smaller parts in recent years, he said. Not all of the division moves as one group as it did previously, so the band has had to make adjustments, Klingbeil said.
The band breaks into smaller groups to adapt to whatever the situation calls for, said acting commander First Sgt. Robert Baranik. The people who play in the band are skilled musicians who learn new music quickly. They had to audition for their spots in the band, with only about a quarter of them holding college degrees in music and the rest coming from a variety of backgrounds.
"A lot of folks can get a good sound on a trumpet or saxophone, but they can't read music, so they wouldn't pass the audition,'' Baranik said. "What you're getting is really a professional level of musicians.''
Baranik, who plays trumpet in the band, said the concert will feature some patriotic songs but also a variety of jazz and other types of music. It's also the first time the band has played at the historic Altoona theater, although the band is based at the Hollidaysburg Veterans Home.
"This is something that I've wanted to do in my 30-plus years with the band,'' he said. "It's on my bucket list.''
Band members will be in different parts of the theater, such as the balcony, when they perform some numbers, Baranik said, calling the effort more of a "production'' rather than just a concert.
Kate Shaffer, executive director of the Blair County Arts Foundation, which sponsors the event, said she's thrilled that the band will finally play at the Mishler. She noted that the band has played at the foundation's arts festival in the past.
"They're just an extraordinary group of musicians,'' she said.

Detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba will soon be allowed to be transferred to the U.S. for trial.
On Tuesday, the Senate passed a measure that is part of a larger $44.1 billion budget bill providing funding for the Homeland Security Department.
It's a small victory for President Barack Obama's plan to close the Guantanamo Bay facility -- but it comes with some caveats.
The plan requires 15 days notice before a transfer can occur and a certification that the prisoner does not pose a security risk.
The bill also supports the president's decision not to release photos of prisoner abuse at Guantanamo.
The House has already approved similar legislation and it now goes to the president to be signed into law.

If you recently filed an insurance claim or lawsuit against USAA for an accident and interested in lawsuit funding against your case, we want to work with you. LawLeaf provides pre settlement funding and post settlement funding against automobile accidents, motorcycle accident, recreational vehicle accidents and other type of injury claims which are filed against USAA. If you are involved in the litigation process, waiting on a settlement or have already reached a settlement, contact us for a lawsuit cash advance. United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is a financial services company that provides insurance, banking, investments, real estate and retirement planning services. USAA is a very unique company. Founded in 1922 by a group of armed services officers, the company has grown into a fortune 500 company. Unlike most insurance companies, USAA considers their customers members. USAA has over 8 million members with over a 90% retention rate. The company directly markets to active duty and retired military personnel and their families. While USAA has a very good reputation they are still like many other insurance companies. While most insurance claims are settled without going into a court proceeding, it doesn't mean the claim will be settled in a timely manner. If you have filed an insurance claim against USAA you may be waiting a long time even before a fair settlement offer is made. The main types of policies that are filed against include:
USAA evaluates accidents the same way as most of the publically traded companies. They have a program in place that evaluates an accident and determines the value of a claim. They will look at medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of wages and other related costs. Like many other companies, initial estimates are often lower than the true value of a case. This can oftentimes result in filing a personal injury lawsuit against the company.If you have recently filed an injury claim, or going through the legal process against USAA, we can help. We are a leading provider of litigation financing and settlement loans. We can provide legal advances against pending and settled cases. If you are seeking an advance against your case and would like to begin the lawsuit funding process, begin by contacting LawLeaf.Related Insurance Companies:

I saw this video of Facebook, it was shared by a brotha I know because we have some common friends. I thank him for sharing the video because it's something I have looked into for a couple years now, The Prison Industrial System and how laws and things have been put in place to place our people back in a form of slavery. I'm a firm believer in "Knowledge Is Power" and the brother did his part in spreading this knowledge on Facebook and I'm doing my part in passing along the valuable information packed video. Where the video originally came from I'm not sure but I am trying to find out.
Brothas, WAKE UP!!!!! Enjoy the video, make comments or pose your question.

From the Window of Love
I'm really continuing about emails and posts. Everything you write is amazing. You give me so much food for thought.
Along this line, when Heavensubscribers are forwarding a Heavenletter™ to a friend, they sometimes do what I often do, and that is press Reply and forget to put in the email address of the person or persons they mean to send it to, and so it doesn't reach the people it was intended for but instead comes to me. I return such emails mistakenly forwarded to me to the senders so they know.
Just yesterday I received one of these. This one had a long personal message. I didn't read all of it, just enough to discover that the message wasn't for me. In the first few lines, the writer was saying that he or she didn't know who was giving the words for Heavenletters, but in her heart, it didn't feel like God.
I respect this. It's hard for me to believe too! I do believe in the Voice, but what's hard for me to grasp is that such golden messages are coming to me. I have to shake my head. How this can happen, I don't know. Often I feel that somehow I'm being taken for someone else, like God is really talking to the person behind me or something, and I only think He's talking to me. That could be embarrassing, yet, meanwhile, I am eavesdropping on what God is saying! I feel that way sometimes, even knowing that God is talking to all of us all the time.
Quite the opposite from the email mistakenly sent to me, there is a recent post on the forum. It appeared under Heavenletter #3101, From the Window of Love:
I don't think I ever read something so perfectly written as this Heavenletter. This afternoon, while I was reading, I was thinking how your relationship must be with the Lord...and how you allow the Lord to use you...and i just felt i should drop a line about how your devotion today touched me deep in my heart and I thought, "Gee, Lord, what things has this person been thru to have such an understanding of You, whatever place she came from..I wish everyone could read this devotion. Your sister, Carolyne
Well, dear Carolyne, what a writer you are, and how deeply you have touched my heart. Your post has made me think along lines I had not gone down before.
My dear, you ask what have I gone through.
I expect I have gone through what all of us have. I have had my times of great unhappiness and also times of great happiness. I muddled my way through life in such ignorance.
Now, like a miracle, I find myself part of Heavenletters. No one could have imagined this. I couldn't have.
I think I can fairly say that I spent most of my life being underestimated. I am guessing that is true of most of us if not all. And now, suddenly, I am being overestimated! Neither under or over is exactly comfortable.
Carolyne, it seems almost like overnight that God became a part of my life. For most of my life, I didn't think about God or anything like that. I was oblivious.
And then I wasn't oblivious any more. It's sort of like, well, suddenly, God tapped me on the head -- or the heart. I am not sure I had anything to do with it. It may be that the time had come, that's all.
When I receive a Heavenletter, I am sort of hearing it subtly. It is much the same as when you read a Heavenletter and you may be surprised and delighted at what God is saying. I am surprised and delighted at what I hear. It is not my knowledge. I am hearing it for the first time. I didn't know all this that God says. I didn't consciously know any of it!
I am not the most ignorant person in the world, and yet I am not very knowledgeable about spiritual matters either. I couldn't think of this wisdom, although it must exist somewhere inside if it's true that the Kingdom of Heaven is within. If that is true -- and it must be -- then the Kingdom of Heaven lies within all of us.
It comes down to this: Anyone can Godwrite™. Anyone. It takes no special anything. I have seen this. I have seen this in Godwriting™ workshops, and I see this in myself every day.
In an earlier posting, Heaven Admin said that God must have chosen me.
I have often wondered about that: Did God choose me, or did I do the choosing?
Maybe God asked, "Will you write down My words?" and I said, "Yes."
Or maybe I asked God, "Will you let me hear Your words? And may I write them down?" And He said, "Yes, go ahead, " in which case you could say I chose myself.
I don't know.
Dear Heavenreaders, do not assume that I live the love and wisdom that God gives us. I try, I mean to, and I too often flunk. I have my share of upset etc. There are times that you would think I never heard or understood a word of what God says.
I do know, when I Godwrite, when my attention is on listening to God, I feel so good and so very close to God. I never want to be without Him, yet, I do go hours and hours in life without thinking of God, without putting my heart next to His. If it weren't for my commitment to Heavenletters, it could just as well be days, weeks, and months before God would have my attention. I am not different from anybody else. I didn't earn the privilege of writing down Heavenletters. I can't say I deserve it either.
I am overwhelmingly glad and grateful that I somehow am doing this. And I am so glad and grateful for the Heaven forum and this Godwriting blog and for the people who post.
If it weren't for Carolyne's post, and if it weren't for you who are here reading what I have written today, I wouldn't be writing this entry. I feel so good writing it, for it brings my heart closer to God and to you.

Godzilla Review
Directed by Gareth Edwards
Produced by Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Mary Parent, and Brian Rodgers
Written by Max Borenstein (screenplay) and David Callaham (story)
Based on Godzilla by Toho
Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn, and Bryan Cranston
Released: May 16, 2014
Runtime: 2 hr, 3 min
Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem, and creature violence
Well, it's now been a solid sixteen years since Roland Emmerich crapped out his interpretation of Godzilla, almost singlehandedly destroying the kaiju genre in America in an impressive two hours and nineteen minutes. And in America, as we all know, sixteen years means the property is long overdue for a remake. That said, expectations kind of did a 180 on this movie a while back. For a while, people figured that it was going to be a shameless cash grab that only milked a franchise that hasn't been at it's height in America in years. Then that first teaser trailer dropped. And good sweet (expletive removed involving fornication)ing (expletive removed involving feces), was everybody and their grandmothers blown away. And since that moment, every single trailer and tidbit released about this movie has done nothing but increase expectations. This is Godzilla like he hasn't been seen in a dang long time. Dark, intense, frickin' scary. In the span of a couple months, expectations for this movie went to astronomical levels. Now that the movie is finally out, does it hold up? (deep breath) Abso-frickin'-lutely not.
Now, let's be honest: you didn't go to this movie looking for plot or character development or anything that would be necessary for most any other kind of movie. No, you went to this movie looking to see two or three monsters beating the living tar out of each other on the big screen, possibly in 3D if you are so economically inclined. We'll get to that in a minute, but I do have to pay attention to that other stuff that makes a good movie because, well, that's what I do. I'll try to be quick.
The acting isn't necessarily bad at any points, neither is the writing really; most of the problems in this area come from the character development. Bryan Cranston gives probably the best performance, on account of having the best-written character and, well, him being Bryan "Eff Yeah" Cranston. The odds are perpetually against him giving a bad performance. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen play two halves of a happily married couple; you can tell they are a happily married couple because within twenty seconds of them first appearing on-screen together, they are about to have sex on a couch. They also serve to supply the human drama that this movie needs and then some. Finally, Ken Watanabe's job is to stare into the middle distance and spew exposition and pseudo-philosophical lines for the trailers. There are other characters that are listed as starring, but none of them are that memorable and don't really do much.
With the boring crap that nobody went to see the movie for out of the way, let's get to the stuff people actually wanted to see: some serious monster-on-monster major mayhem. This movie surprised a lot of people with a campaign that held off on showing that much of its titular monster, with the trailers only showing him briefly towards the beginning and slowly increasing how much of him was showed as the movie neared its release date. Heck, it avoided showing the monster he would be fighting as well as the fights at all. Compare that to marketing campaigns like, say, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, where you can put together the entire plot of the movie, including the big twist, from the trailers alone. This type of minimalist marketing happens all too rarely with movies these days, with the filmmakers usually opting to show as much of the plot as possible, usually resulting in spoiling some of the movie's big moments.
That said, once we get into the theater, we want to see stuff go down. Go crazy! And this is where the biggest problem of the movie comes into play. Most of the action in the movie is the other monsters (called MUTOs) destroying cities, soldiers shooting at them with what amount to peashooters and firecrackers, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson looking shocked at it. We'll then see Godzilla start to fight the other monsters, usually in the background or out of focus, and then we cut to the crap that we couldn't give two craps about. It isn't until the third act, the climax of the movie, that we finally see these monsters throw down, and it still focuses more on the human characters than on the monsters! Godzilla is literally underwater swimming after the MUTOs for half the frickin' movie.
Now, I'm not arguing against human characters in movies like this. They are necessary to give the movie the drama that it needs to be compelling. But for the love of all that's good and holy, there is a time for human drama, and there is a time for the over-the-top, up-the-wall, pants crappingly insane monster battles that we paid the admission price for! There needs to be a balance, and in Godzilla the scale is tipped far too much to one side. I feel like the lack of monster fights in the trailers wasn't so much a creative choice so much as it was because there wasn't enough in the movie to actually show in the trailers.
That all isn't to say that there aren't any cool moments. One scene that stands out is when Taylor-Johnson's character, Ford, must hide from one of the MUTOs while on a bridge. The scene is incredibly tense and has a terrific pay-off. And, when they finally do come to blows in the middle of San Francisco, the fight between Godzilla and the MUTOs is pretty frickin' cool. There are two or three moments during the final battle that had my entire theater, myself included, fist pumping in the air and cheering. On top of that, Godzilla is a very good-looking movie. The cinematography and effects that were shown off in the trailers do not disappoint, with the cinematography adding to the more tense scenes and the effects making sure that everything looks terrific. From the monsters to the devastated city landscapes, everything just looks awesome.
In monster movies like Godzilla, there needs to be a balance between the human drama to make it compelling and the showdowns between monsters like Godzilla and the MUTOs that we came to see. Unfortunately, the balance in this particular movie tilts a bit too far in favor of the human characters that aren't really that interesting to begin with. Godzilla is barely in the second act, and the stuff we came to see isn't shown in full until the climax, at which point the movie does actually get cool. Still, despite some impressive visuals, the movie is a bit of a letdown in terms of what we should have gotten from a movie like this and what we actually got. It may be a step up from the Roland Emmerich movie, but there's not much else that can be said for it.
Rating: ✮✮✰✰(2 / 4 stars)
Various Stuff and Such:
-Remember to comment with your own thoughts on the movie and follow the blog if you enjoyed the review.
-One cool thing I didn't touch on in the actual review was the opening credits sequence, which was one of the better ones I've seen in a while. They did a lot of shooting with a camera from the '60s to make the "old footage" of Godzilla look more authentic, then did some fancy technical stuff to make it look pretty.

5 Ways to Have Horrible Customer Service
Customer service is invaluable to any company…right? I'd like to think it is, but unfortunately that's rarely the case anymore. I don't know what happened to make good customer service less of a priority, but I don't like it. I think I've managed to pinpoint the 5 things that drive me the most crazy about BAD customer service, so if you're one of those people who despises helping customers, here are 5 things you need to do to aggravate me and give me a negative impression of your company:
1. Don't smile.
It seems like I'm being picky, but I think it's a big deal. There's nothing that gives me a bad feeling faster than saying hi to someone (whether it be a clerk, a cashier, or ANY employee) and seeing them stare at you with a blank expression. How much effort does it take to smile? Even if it's a fake smile, at least you tried to acknowledge me, and that has to count for something. Trust me, I've worked with the public in great volumes over the years, and I understand better than anyone that some customers can be demanding or rude. Maybe you're having a bad day, and I get that. However, if I ask you a simple question, I think the least you can do is fake a smile (but make it APPEAR genuine) and point me in the correct direction.
Furthermore, I think this could also apply to those who do customer service over the phone. The person you're helping may not be able to see you, but they can tell if you're in a bad mood. Don't take out your past frustrations on customers who didn't do anything to upset you in the first place!
2. Sigh or roll your eyes.
This is a big turn-off for me. Unless I go up to you and ask you to accomplish some impossible feat, I don't appreciate you sighing or rolling your eyes at me. That's fine if you think I'm an enormous piece of crap for asking you a question, but just don't express that to me. You know the expression: "There are no dumb questions?" Well, while I don't totally agree with that, there have been times when I ask a customer service rep a question that I feel stupid asking in the first place, and then they roll their eyes at me or sigh with annoyance. You know how that makes me feel? Dumb. It makes me feel like I should walk right out of your business and into one where I'll be treated with respect.
Again, this could also apply to customer service over the phone – in my opinion, the sigh is the phone-equivalent of the eye roll.
3. Don't try to help me, or at least find someone who can.
I can't even tell you how many times I've asked someone to help me find something, whether in person or on a website, and he or she seems to just go out of the way to make me stop talking to them. If I want help finding a specific kind of cat food or a video game, don't just say "I don't know" and walk away from me. If you don't know where something is or whether or not your company carries it, then at least humor me and try to find someone who might actually know. If I can't find something in your store or on your website, then I'll go somewhere else where I can.
4. Avoid me.
This one's a classic. In some stores, once I actually track down an employee I have a hard time keeping track of them to ask my question. I remember one customer service representative that even made eye contact with me from down the aisle and watched me walk toward him before bolting around the corner and into the "Employees Only" section. How bizarre is that? It's not like I was running up to him with boxing gloves on or anything…I just wanted to know where the damn salad dressing was! Avoiding customers may seem like a good idea, but it's very annoying and probably causes more people than just me to get upset.
5. Don't talk to me at all.
This mainly applies to cashiers or clerks, at least in my experience. When I go to your line to check out, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a "hi" or a "how are you today?", no matter how feeble the attempt. But when I get no greeting or response at all, I start to get pissed. What is the reason behind this? Are you in that terrible of a mood that you can't say hello? Unfortunately, this happens to me a lot, and I'm puzzled every single time. To me, it's not natural to be completely silent when there's a customer in front of me, so maybe that's why I'm perplexed. I walk away with a terrible impression of your business when I get a cashier that doesn't even bother to speak…other than to tell me my total. That's pretty sad, and the saddest part is that it's completely avoidable; but people just don't seem to care anymore.

In this video, Andrew Tonner offers his opinion on Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC ) announcement of a new CEO. Specifically, while promoting the current acting CFO Brian Krzanich may be a good move on paper, Andrew thinks Intel needs some new blood, new ideas. Krzanich is an entrenched Intel man, not new blood. That said, we should watch carefully what he says as he takes the reins. Intel, as an investment, is a bit touch and go. It does sell at a low multiple and pays a decent dividend, but the future is cloudy. Intel's business remains tightly bound to the shrinking PC market, and Intel really hasn't branched out to other markets. If you want to invest in Intel, be prepared for a long wait for a satisfactory return.
When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn't get much better than Intel's position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel finds itself in a precarious situation longer term if it doesn't find new avenues for growth. In this premium research report on Intel, a Motley Fool analyst runs through all of the key topics investors should understand about the chip giant. Click here now to learn more.

Long Bio:
Suzanne Woods Fisher lives with her family in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has one husband, four children, one son-in-law, a two-year old grandson who makes everybody laugh, another little grandbaby on the way (due on Christmas eve!) and raises puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Suzanne graduated from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, and was a free-lancer writer for magazines while her children were growing up. A former contributing editor to Christian Parenting Today, Suzanne's work has appeared in many magazines, including Today's Christian Woman, Worldwide Challenge, and Marriage Partnership.
Her first novel, Copper Star, a World War II love story, was published by a small press (Vintage Inspirations) and received three literary awards. It opened the door to a literary agent, Joyce Hart. The agent knew of Suzanne's connection to the Plain People—her grandfather was raised Plain—and introduced her to an editor at Revell, a division of Baker Books.
Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World was Suzanne's first book release with Revell. It's a non-fiction book of true stories about the Old Order Amish and was a finalist for the 2010 ECPA Book of the Year Award. There are two spin-offs from Amish Peace: one is Amish Proverbs: Words of Wisdom from the Simple Life and Amish Values for Your Family: What We Can Learn from the Simple Life. Amish Proverbs was also a finalist for the ECPA Book of the Year Award and will be re-released in an expanded edition.
All three books in the 'Lancaster County Secret' series (The Choice, The Waiting, and The Search) hit the bestseller lists for ECPA and CBA. The Waiting was a finalist for a 2011 Christy Award.

"This engagement is different," the Dancing with the Stars professional, 33, told PEOPLE Tuesday at SweetE's Bakeshop in L.A. "That's the way I feel about it. I'm completely openhearted, and there's nothing I would change about it at this point – absolutely nothing."
Smirnoff and her Detroit Tigers baseball pitcher fiancé, Brad Penny, 32, are progressing nicely with their wedding planning.
"We're still finalizing where we want to get married, but all the other projects are falling into place," she says. "I'm picking out my dress probably in two weeks. We have a place in Atlanta where we're going."
Adds the ballroom beauty, "On my wedding day, I'm going to wear makeup from Girlactik Beauty. My skin has been feeling great lately, and my lips are tasting like candy. Brad loves to kiss me when I wear this certain lip-gloss."
But Smirnoff's favorite part of planning her trip to the altar? Sharing it with the guy of her dreams.
"I have a man who supports me and loves me unconditionally, so it's been amazing," she says. "I've been praying and my prayers have been answered, so thank you Lord."
Smirnoff split from ex-fiancé Maksim Chmermovskiy in 2009.

Moving Beyond Limitations: A Choreographer's Approach to Cerebral Palsy
Tamar Rogoff, Choreographer
Gregg Mozgala, Actor

A Choreographer's Approach to the Body's Potential
Location: New Research Building (NRB), Room 350
77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston, MA 02115
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. Interactive Workshop
Experiencing a Body Based Approach to Anatomy and Alignment
Gregg Mozgala is an actor and writer. He made his dance debut with Diagnosis of a Faun. He has appeared in productions with Theatre Breaking Through Barriers (Romeo & Juliet, The Rules of Charity), Foolish Theatre Company (Funny As A Crutch), The Brick Theater (True Life Story of...Your Name Here; Action Jesus!), Prospect Theater Company (Midnight is Where the Day Begins), The National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped (Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris), Imua! Theatre Company (The Greeks- Parts I & II), Visible Theatre (Clucky The Brave Little Hen, True Story Project: Sex!, True Story Project: Faith), and the Ensemble Studio Theatre/Youngblood (The Roosevelt Cousins Thoroughly Sauced, Glory Days At Jesus High). He can be seen in the DOJO 12 web series Help Wanted. He has worked internationally in England and in Croatia. His regional credits include his original works Game Legs, which he wrote and starred in at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. His play DIS'D was included in the Kennedy Center's 2007 Page to Stage Festival and he received a commission to expand the play into a full-length piece. His plays of all various lengths and sizes have also been presented and/or produced at the NY International Fringe Festival, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Visible Theatre, Nicu's Spoon and Theatre Breaking Through Barriers.
Tamar Rogoff is a choreographer who explores the outer limits of how people negotiate extreme circumstances. She combines and juxtaposes unlikely company members, always on the look out for magical and tender ways to tell difficult stories. Rogoff's large scale site works, films, and more traditional proscenium performances house her life-long experimental process. Angle of Ascent was performed on a tower rising 25 feet above the plaza in Lincoln Center, while huge water tanks were built there for In Deep. The Ivye Project (1994) took place in a forest in Belarus, surrounding the mass graves of Rogoff's relatives and others killed in the Holocaust. This later became the subject of the documentary produced by Lori Cheatle and directed by Rogoff and Daisy Wright called Summer in Ivye, which was screened at the Hamptons International Film Festival. Demeter's Daughter, another large scale site-work performed on the streets of the lower East Side, used community gardens and rooftops. Rogoff's proscenium piece, Daughter of a Pacifist Soldier, was based on the year-long relationship between her company and a community of veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In 2005, Rogoff choreographed a solo dance piece at P.S.122 for actor Claire Danes entitled Christina Olson: American Model. Rogoff was movement consultant to Danes for HBO's Temple Grandin, scheduled for release in February 2010. Her work is featured in a recent book Site Dance: Choreographers and the Lure of Alternative Spaces. Rogoff has taught for many years at P.S. 122 and at NYU's Experimental Theater Wing. Six years ago, she founded the arts program at Solar1, an environmental education and arts center. She is a four-time recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and has been generously funded and commissioned by Dancing in the Streets, Association of Performing Arts Presenters, Rockefeller MAP Grant, the Trust for Mutual Understanding, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Harkness Foundation, Dance Theater Workshop's Suitcase Fund, and VSA arts. Currently, as a Guggenheim Fellow, Rogoff is working on a documentary about the training of Gregg Mozgala, as he prepares to dance the role of the Faun. Rogoff's methods of release through unorthodox body practices address Mozgala's cerebral palsy.

THE organisers of an annual island music festival have been angered by what they see as "artificial" competition this year from a one-off gig by Elton John which is being staged as part of the Highland Year of Culture.
The superstar singer has been booked to play at the Caledonian Stadium in Inverness on Sunday, 15 July, in what many regard as a huge coup for the 2007 programme.
But those behind the Hebridean Celtic Festival in Stornoway from 11-14 July say the Elton John concert will take away some of its audience while doing nothing for culture in the Highlands.
The Hebridean festival, now in its 12th year, will be headlined by The Proclaimers, who will be joined on the bill by the Irish band Moving Hearts, featuring original members Davy Spillane and Donal Lunny, as well as artists from Scotland, Spain, Canada and Turkey.
Organisers say it will be a "truly cultural festival, unlike some of its one-off competition".
Caroline MacLennan, the festival director, said: "We are dedicated to bringing live music to the Outer Hebrides and developing a positive and long-term legacy for Celtic culture in the Highlands and Islands. Despite increased competition for audiences this year as a consequence of Highland 2007, we believe our line-up, combined with our continued family events and wider community-based projects, will prove popular with our audiences from around the world."
A festival source, who asked not to be named, said: "Highland 2007 is supposed to be a celebration of Highland culture. However, despite assurances that the organisation would not use taxpayers' money to set up artificial competition for existing festivals, they have done exactly that.
"As a consequence, there is not a level playing field, and millions of pounds will now go out of the Highlands this year, rather than be used to develop the region's cultural roots.
"Highland 2007 is supposed to leave a cultural legacy, but no-one will have envisaged that their legacy could see well-established festivals in the Highlands going to the wall."
Fiona Hampton, director of Highland 2007, said: "We are celebrating culture in the Highlands and its not all about traditions and heritage, important as they are - it's also about the contemporary culture. People like contemporary and pop music as much as they like traditional music.
"We wanted a headline artist that would send the message out across the UK and the world that we can put on fantastic big events in the Highlands and Islands. So when we got the opportunity to host Sir Elton John in Inverness we thought 'fantastic'.
"It was never on our radar that Sir Elton John playing the Caledonian Stadium would affect any of the existing festivals, especially something as well established as Heb Celt. We just thought they were totally different audiences and did not perceive there to be any conflict or negative impact."

The pressure gauge on a cylinder of gas registers the gauge pressure, which is the difference between the interior pressure and the exterior pressure P0. Let's call the gauge pressure Pg.

Exec eager to step away from corporate culture
Pat Wyatt, president of Fox homevideo and consumer products, has resigned to start up an indie film production and financing company specializing in Japanese-style animated programming produced specifically for home viewing.
Wyatt's departure after seven years with the studio, including five overseeing video, comes as Fox is enjoying one of its biggest video sales seasons ever, with "Ice Age" and "Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones" ranking among the top DVDs of the quarter.
She said she is eager to step away from the corporate culture for a while and try to reconnect with her family roots in Japan. Her grandfather, Kiyoshi Masumoto, was one of the founding fathers of Japanese cinema, having started one of the first Japanese studios and created a theater/school of Japanese drama focusing on stories about real life, she said.
"I feel like my grandfather brought Western culture to Japanese cinema; now I'd like to bring Eastern culture to the West," Wyatt said.
"Pat's enormous contributions are integral to the fiscal and operational excellence of our North American Home Entertainment business," Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen Tom Rothman and Jim Gianopulos said in a statement. "Her talents will be missed, and we wish her the best with her production and financing endeavor."
Fox has no announcement as yet about replacements for Wyatt either on the video or consumer products side, although it is believed those units will once again be put under separate execs. Sources at Fox and within the video industry believe that Fox Home Entertainment exec VP of sales and marketing Mike Dunn has been groomed for the top video post.
Wyatt joined the company in 1995 as president of 20th Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising.
Former Fox studio head Bill Mechanic gave her the additional oversight of the video unit five years ago following the departure of former video president Jeff Yapp.
Her new company, the name and details of which will be forthcoming, will combine the look of animation created by Japanese and Korean companies with stories that have a beginning, middle and end, she said. The company will also produce theatrical films.

Put Your Name on It: Personalized NotebooksCathy Hale
Do any of you remember being little and the class bully would grab your snack, notebook, pen, etc. You would instinctively say, "Hey, that's mine!" And then the know-it-all kid would smugly say, "Is your name on it?" It immediately became a losing battle because 90% of the time, your name wasn't on it. I never had a comeback line for that one. Did you?
Thanks to adorable personalized items, now it's easy to claim your kiddo's stuff. I came across these beautiful notebooks last month from Frecklebox. I think the artwork and themes are amazing because the boyish items are just as plentiful as the girlie items. Plus, they're cool and functional. If you go to the website, you can plug in your child's name and see an instant preview. Fun!
Notebooks have 50 double-sided pages, printed with black ink on 60# white opaque text. The covers are printed in color on 110# gloss cover and protected by 5mil lamination. The outer edges are round cornered for safe handling. The book is wire-o bound and the final size is 8.5″ x 11″.
In addition to being a super item for your back-to-school kiddos, they make great gifts. It might take a little planning, so file this idea away in the "creative mommy" corner of your brain. If you have time, check out the retro lunchboxes because they feature many of the same themes as the notebooks. You know, for the child that c-o-o-r-d-i-n-a-t-e-s. (Get a load of the Girl's Dream theme lunchbox. I think I had a puffy paint t-shirt with that artwork back in the day!)
Shop personalized notebooks on Frecklebox. They retail for $9.95 each.

Your Review:
After I read cartoonist Alison Bechdel's memoir _Fun Home_, I was delighted to learn she had written a follow-up sequel to it. In _Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama_, Bechdel explores the nuances of her uneasy relationship with her mother in light of the loss they both experience in the wake of her father's suicide. Like _Fun Home_, _Are You My Mother_ is also a graphic novel-type of memoir, and here, the author's carefully crafted frames so richly reveal the same self-awareness and self-censorship she articulates in the dialogue. The charm of Bechdel's drawings and engaging narrative was so spellbinding that I stayed up late into the wee hours to finish the book. By turns darkly depressing, psychologically insightful, and absolutely hilarious, _Are You My Mother?_ is sure to resonate with adult readers interested in family relationships and questions of self-identity.

Louisville loss, topsy turvy day in SEC shakes up bowl projections
Five top SEC teams lost on Saturday and Louisville went down on Friday, which has caused some unusual bowl matchups
It wasn't exactly a huge upset weekend. The teams at the very top of the rankings survivied, but right below the top five, chaos ensued, and the bowl projections got turned upside down. Louisville Cardinals got things started by losing at home to UCF Knights , which puts the Knights in the drivers' seat for the American conference title and that league's automatic berth in the BCS.
Then, on Saturday, the big names in the SEC went down, on the field and on the scoreboard. Florida Gators lost at Missouri Tigers in a battle of backup quarterbacks. South Carolina Gamecocks lost its QB, Connor Shaw , and the game at Tennessee Volunteers . Georgia Bulldogs , who is already down two running backs and thre receivers, blew a lead at Vanderbilt Commodores and lost. Texas A&M had another injury scare with Johnny Manziel . He came back, but the team could not in a home loss to upstart Auburn Tigers . And finally, LSU Tigers lost on a last second field goal at Ole Miss Rebels .
That leaves just three teams in control of their own destiny for the SEC title game: Missouri, which has a two-game lead in the East, Alabama Crimson Tide , of course, and Auburn, which hosts the Iron Bowl on November 30th.
That's it. Remember the days of five SEC teams in the top 10? Those appear to be over. In the first BCS, there are four in the top 14, which is the standard for BCS eligiblility, and only Bama and Mizzou are in the top 10.
That made trying to figure out who could land in the Sugar Bowl as Alabama's replacement difficult. It says here that even if Missouri loses in the SEC title game, they'll still be the highest rated team left for the Sugar Bowl. They might even be the only BCS eligible SEC team by then.
Florida State Seminoles grabbed hold of the ACC race by trampling Clemson Tigers on Saturday, and is now slotted in the Orange Bowl. The Seminoles are second in the current BCS, but Oregon Ducks is too strong in the polls and still controls its own destiny for Pasadena.
The Orange could grab UCF to play Florida State, which would generate more local interest than national buzz. It says here they'd go with Wisconsin Badgers or perhaps a one-loss Big Ten or Big 12 team if one exists over the Knights and that UCF lands in the Sugar Bowl.
If we had a playoff this year:
This section of the blog describes what things might look like if the new playoff system were in effect this year. It's different than the regular bowl projections in that it is based on current data. Beginning next year, a selection committee will not only select and seed a playoff, but also put together matchups for the other four bowls in the playoff rotation. The five major conference champions are all automatically placed in one of those six bowls. The American conference is not part of that group. The highest rated team from outside those leagues is also guaranteed a spot.
If a playoff started today, it would probably look like this:
Sugar Bowl: No. 1 Alabama vs No. 4 Ohio State
Rose Bowl: No. 2 Oregon vs No. 3 Florida State
Cotton Bowl: Baylor vs UCLA
Orange Bowl: Miami vs Auburn
Fiesta Bowl: Stanford vs Texas Tech
Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Missouri vs UCF

I'm three months into a new relationship and living a charmed existence. Wherever we go, whatever we do, things just seem to work out for us. A free cab is turning around the corner, our discount tickets happen to be center orchestra, and the best table in the restaurant is just paying their bill.
We have such good luck, I feel guilty, which proves I'm my mother's daughter.
"So how was last night?" my mom said into the phone one morning. I hadn't told her I'd had a date, but she infers it whenever I miss her regular goodnight phone call.

16 �Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!
17 Is it not wheat harvest now? I will call on the Lord to send thunder and rain. And you will realize what an evil thing you did in the eyes of the Lord when you asked for a king.�
18 Then Samuel called on the Lord, and that same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. So all the people stood in awe of the Lord and of Samuel.
19 The people all said to Samuel, �Pray to the Lord your God for your servants so that we will not die, for we have added to all our other sins the evil of asking for a king.�
20 �Do not be afraid,� Samuel replied. �You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.
21 Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless.
22 For the sake of his great name the Lord will not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own.
23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.
24 But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
25 Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will perish.�

Both the Israeli government and Hamas have accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
A preliminary 72-hour truce will begin early tomorrow morning Eastern time, and in the next three days, an Israeli delegation will head to Egypt for talks on a long-term truce.
Palestinian officials already have accepted the Egyptian proposal, while the Israelis are said to be skeptical since previous cease-fire plans have quickly collapsed.
