"I hear her voice in the morning as she calls me"
Hello Everybody!
It has been a week since my last post and I regret that. I've taken weeks off for vaction on the blog but there has been something missing and different this week. Maybe its because the Pirates have been tanking, but mostly it has been because I've been busy at school.
Because of this current fall semester Pirates baseball has taken a backseat to something more important, West Virginia football.
For you college football fans out there I'm sure you have been aware of the recent success of the Mountaineer football program. West Virginia has been such a big part of my life, even more so than the Pittsburgh Pirates. My family roots run through the Mountaine State with much of my extended family living here. My father, Rick, went to WVU in the 1970's and with myself as a current junior, I feel so proud to carry on this blue and gold Peaslee family tradition.
For a better part of my 20 years weekend trips to WV were the norm. Whether it was for family reunions or special occasions I enjoyed treking through the wining country roads to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. There was always something else though that made the trips worth the time…West Virginia football.
For nearly 3 decades my family has had football season tickets. I have had great times at Mountaineer Field enjoying exhillarating wins and hard to swallow losses. The pride and passion I have for the Mountaineers is second to none. Being a student makes these feelings escalate even more.
As I drive myself through the winding roads now I always have John Denver's legendary "Country Roads" song playing on my car CD player. There is another tradition with this song that always gives me goosebumps.
The young 2009 campaign for the Mounatineers has been very rewarding. We are now 2-0 and have wins over Liberty and East Carolina. Not necessarily two marquee schools but after falling to ECU last year it was great to avenge the defeat.
I get chills everytime I am in the stadium surrounded by a sea of blue and gold. IN the opening game against Liberty I sat in the upper deck as you can see. It was a hot day and the heat and sun was irritating. WVU wasn't winning in a convincing matter as I had hoped but the Mountaineers still pulled out a 33-20 win over the Liberty Flames.
Just this past Saturday I had much better seats for the game.
Front row baby! Being on top of the field right there was awesome. I heckled East Carolina players and high fived my Mountaineers after the 35-20 win. The ticketing sytem at WVU allows students to choose a lower level or upper level seat. My friends and I usually like the upper section for a better view of the whole field. However, being there in the lower level, front row specifically was great. Creating a superb atmosphere for college football.
One of the best parts of Mountaineer football Saturdays is the Pride of West Virginia:The Mountaineer Marching Band.
The band plays a great rendition of Country Roads and forms the state of West Virginia in their pregame routine. With everybody signing along to teh tune it is the greatest feeling in the world. A college tradition for many many years.
There is another WVU team that deserves some respect right now, the women's soccer team.
I cover the Mountaineer women's soccer team for the school newspaper. They have great potential to be a strong national competitor. Pre-season, the squad was ranked 7th in the nation but have since fallen to 12th after a 2-2-3 start to the season. They are very young and will surely be on the natioanl stage for more years to come.
One of the biggest changes this year for Mountaineer sports is the transition of the rifle. If you've ever watched a Mountaineer sporting event on TV you may have seen one of the most distinct mascots in all of sports.
The Mountaineer is an intimidating fellow who carries a musket on the field. If you are an opposing fan, player and mascot-watch out! He fires after every touchdown and when the Mountaineers are on a roll, be prepared for a loud kaboom all day long.
This year the Mountaineer takes on a different role.
Indeed that is a woman. She is a junior at WVU and the second female to don the Mountaineer buck skins. Its been very controversial. Because come on look at the guy on the left. He is the spitting image of a Mountaineer. His name is Brady Campbell and the stereotypical West Virginia mascot. Most people feel it should be strictly a man in the uniform. But she has done a fantastic job displaying excellent school spirit.
My classes are going well. I have a fairly loaded schedule with 18 credit hours. I enjoy my journalism, Public Relations and English classes. I take a better interest in these because they are for my major. However, there are some road blocks that come in the form of Accounting and Statistics. Numbers are not my thing. Math is not my thing. These two classes have been interesting thus far. I'm staying on top and not getting behind because I know if I dig a hole for myself theres no way I'll be able to get back out. Anybody out there with an expertise in these fields? Hit me up!
If you expected a Pirates update here I'm sorry but I really can't pony up anything positive to say. They were on a 7 game losing skid for the ump teenth time this season. They actually pulled out a 2-1 win on Sunday over the Astros to avoid the sweep. Andrew McCutchen has been on a month long slump. He's gone o-fer many times this month and seen his batting average drop to .270. The offense as a whole has been sluggish. Only mustering up 17 hits over the 7 day week. It's ugly and doesn't seem to get any better. They players don't seem to give any heart or effort out there. They know the season is over and I can't blame them for not giving a die hard effort.
In closing-here is something that I get to look at everyday. It is hanging in my room behind my TV. It shows the pride and passion that I will always have for the Pirates-its everlasting no matter how bad it has been or how good it will be in the future.

I'm glad you're enjoying your journalism, PR and English classes. (I wasn't good in math either.) And you're getting great experience covering sports for the school newspaper. I hope it's all fun and will prepare you for a career as a writer if that's the direction you choose!
As hard as college can be, it looks as though you are enjoying it, which always makes things move more smoothly and seems to make it easier even when it isn't, soccer is always an up and down sport as the season progresses I am sure they will improve as the season moves on… the football well they always seem to do well…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Its always fun to look at college football,
and going to a game is even better.
I have to admit,
I am not an Ohio State fan,
though I have been to the stadium.
It is huge!!! More on that later.
but I am a Cane' for life!
I was born right around Miami, FLA, and I moved here to Ohio when I was young.
So there you have it.
and I set foot in the stadium when there "wasn't" a game going on.
So I could just feel the atmosphere that "would've" been there if there were a game.
Ted's Take
Hey – the Mountaineer with the musket reminds me of the New England Patriots' games. We have several Minutemen (a la the American Revolution) who fire their muskets every time the Pats score! Family traditions are a great thing to have – I glad you have this to enjoy with your family!
Thanks for updating us. Your post was fantastic as usual. Your Pirates do have some fight left. There were some super defensive plays last night. I actually thought in the first few innings that your guys would beat the Dodgers. Country Roads has been a favorite of mine as well as John Denver. I am going to follow West Virginia football this season for sure. Glad you are doing well in school. Statistics was always tough for me.
Your Pirates are nice guys. During batting practice, they threw a lot of balls to the kids.
Loved the story about the tradition you and your family have with WV football! That's so great! I'm sure you play "Country Roads" but I'm getting the feeling there's some Miley Cyrus in there as well😉 haha.
Matt: I like John Denver. I too have skipped blogging every once in awhile becayse if school. Ugh. I hate it. It feels like I never had a summer…
I like that Pirate flag you have there. I admire you for believing in your team through it all. You are a real fan.
Are you still a Mariner fan, or was that just a one-time thing?
Glad to see you are getting an opportunity while you are still at WVU to do some reporting and get your instincts and your style settled before you get out in the working world.
Setting your style now can make the writing easier and more professional down the line.
Doing a sport beside the one that grabs your heart strings actually gives you a better perspective on sports, and makes you a better writer.
Keep up the great work, and we will see you in a national publication before we know it!

You've may have heard this many times and probably even used the "Quality Trumps Quantity" argument when justifying your less-than-stellar social media results to your management. As much as I believe in the quality argument, the reality is numbers do matter and here's why.
Let's take a very familiar example like dating. The more people you meet, the more likely you are to meet "the right one". However, the argument can be made, it's the quality of single people you meet that's really important and not the number of "eligibles".
Agreed. However, the assumption (and the hope) is that the few people that you do meet are of super-quality, thereby improving your odds of happily-ever-after, without any need to meet additional folks.
Let's take the same example in the business context, you can improve your odds of success by reaching as many people as you can within your budget constraints (quantity) or reaching a highly targeted group of customers (quality). In the social media space, how confident are you of hitting that sweet spot?
Another underlying assumption for "quality over quantity" argument is that both are mutually exclusive, that more numbers mean lower quantity or vice versa. Can you really say that the fewer leads that you did capture were of better quality than the leads from a campaign that generated higher volume of leads?
Generalizations can be misleading and we have to account for differences in industry, business model, type of product/service, goals, as well as target audience. Whether reaching 100 influencers is better than reaching 10,000 customers will depend on your industry and business objective.
So going back to your original argument to your management that it's really the quality that matters not the quantity, make sure you're ready to back it up by showing that your conversion or engagement rates were indeed higher than if you had 10x the reach. If you can't demonstrate that your business goals were indeed met by reaching a smaller audience, it's a hollow argument and sooner or later, your business results will reflect that.
In my follow up post next week, I will discuss some simple ways to define your social media goals and how to measure what really matters. Have a great weekend!

Angel Men
Thread: Animale Animale vs. the A Men
Just purchased Animale Animale blind online after reading all of the greats reviews, which should be coming in the mail in the next few days. They say AA smells similar to Angel men and pure malt. Just wondering what your guys' opinions are on these three frags. I have smelled angel men, but it has been about two years, so I have forgotten the exact smell and dry down. I have never had a sample of it, and sephora has stopped carrying it in my area, so i cannot get a sample. Thinking about semi-blind buying original Angel Men. I have never smelled pure malt. In terms of overall smell, longevity, projection, and versatility, which frag do you guys like best? Thanks in advance
Angel Men
I would not say it smells like either one. To me Animale has a synthetic scent to it. I would choose Angel Men.
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
1. Pure Malt
2. Angel Men
3. Animale Animale
For those about to stink, I salute you!
Hey, did you get Animale Animale in?

If the great Spicebomb could have a sweet tobacco and malt sibling it would be Animale Animale. Something about both that share a similar soothing warmth in their drydown ........opposite to A'men which can be sickening at times.
I am an unabashed fan of Animale Animale .......If only there was an intense version to go along with it .....who knows they might just do that
Animale Animale doesn't smell like Pure Malt. It does smell like Pure Havane but only for a very short time in the opening. I prefer it over Pure Malt, A*men, and Pure Havane. Reason being is because I love the odd combination of the oakmoss and chocolate.
I was getting wee hints of Pure Malt from AA last night. Not for very long mind. But the Pure Havane cues are there for sure. Funny thing is that I could detect, and could just be the dry cool air , a little Pure Leather in the drydown.
I am just a recent convert to AA and find the scent to have that same ever changing manner that Spicebomb does. Never stuck on sweetness or spiciness for too long while having a coolness to keep it refreshing and satisfying.
A men makes me feel self conscious as it is so heavy and cloying to many around my immediate space. AA just give enough sillage to create a sense of allure and good taste.

I own all 3 and am very positive towards all of them. Best overall scent goes to Angel Men for me, with Pure Malt probably the most pleasant to those around me, while AA is the most versatile for me, and probably gets worn the most of the 3.
BTW, good to see another Huskers fan on here! I grew up in Omaha and go back there to visit pretty frequently.
I do have all 3 in my collection and I like all of them.
Currently on my Rotation:
1. Pure Zest
2. Aqva Amara
3. Lalique Homme
4. IM Sport
5. JV Artisan Aqva
6. Salvador Dali Agua Verde
Pure Malt
I feel it is impossible to overapply Animale Animale. One of the few fragrances that I will go 6-8 sprays on. If only they decide to do an extreme or intense version , I will be in scent heaven

What is Ecology?
Ecology is the study of the interactions between living organisms and their environment. These interactions, in turn, affect the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecologists study a tremendous variety of organisms and environments from microorganisms in the soil or a puddle of water to plants and animals in a forest or ocean. Since human activity often has a detrimental impact on the natural world, ecologists are often involved in identifying and finding solutions to environmental problems.

Five to Zero…Look'n for a Hero
Notice the temperature? July was a record breaking month in Colorado as far as the heat goes but today was overcast and drizzling at times. The cooler weather was a nice change.
Here are your Starting Lineups
Even with the drizzle the cages were up and BP was roll'n. I kind of felt like a ball magnet today as I had a lot of play during BP. I was hoping that would work to my advantage during the game as I had a front row pavilion seat today.
(I'm Still buck'n for that first Game Homer)…Thanks Mister Ticket Mister🙂.
I'll spare you the suspense…It didn't happen.
The first two BP balls I snagged were toss-ups from Phillies players that were bobbled by Phillies fans. I made sure those two balls found homes with Rockies fans. My next snag was a ground rule double that hit fast and bounced off of my glove. A few quick steps later and I scooped up my own bobble.
I didn't want BP to end without actually catching one. There was a break in the clouds and the baseball gods shined briefly enough for me to catch one on the fly from an unknown Phillies player shortly before the players left the field. Props to Mike the Rox Addict for snagging a ground rule double ball that tipped off my glove while surrounded by Phillies fans eager for that ball.
I believe Amy snagged four balls and Jersey Geoff , Dan and Ken had a few nice snags too.
Here are your Rockies warming up.
Chris Iannetta flashing me the Ranter sign.
The only Rockies player that I saw walk up to the wall and sign was Mark Ellis.
Props to you Mark, shame on the rest of you.
Guess "The Duece" has been teaching classes on how to avoid signing autographs.
Other than catching baseballs my second favorite thing to do at the ballpark is take action pictures. However there was a severe lack of action from the Rockies so here are a few Phillies pictures.
I feel ya EY.
I don't get the Rockies. If I didn't have so much fun hang'n with my friends at Coors Field I doubt I attend many more games this season.
The Coors Field late innings two out magic is all but dead. This game was uneventful, unexciting, unfulfilling and unfun.
WTF happened?
Keep ignoring your fans Rockies and nothing good will come of it.
I also want to wish Ubaldo Jiminez the best of luck with the Indians. Nasty Fasty was a class act and was the nicest most approachable Rockies player I have ever met. I'm not happy with the decision to Trade Ubaldo or the manner in which it was executed, but we all knew the Rockies were do to make a pitching blunder of some sort.
At least he can't come back and haunt us in the American League? unless…Nah
I'm the Ranter…I'm thinking I picked the right season to back off the baseball games a bit and work hard on my Mobile Blogging Unit…AKA
I need to get him ready for Broncos Tailgating and Spring Training 2012.

Hello, D.
I keep thinking each week that this year is a nightmare and we're all gonna wake up. Instead it gets worse. I am sentimentally saddened by the Ubaldo trade; I still can't believe our Ace is gone. I understand why O'Dowd made the trade, though, and I have been trying to focus on the top prospects we got and looking forward to our rotation in the next couple years, but it's hard to be patient.
I can't believe how sucky this year is. Who woulda thought that we'd be this bad and sellers at the deadline and trade our Ace?
Baseball is a cruel game sometimes. Play for a higher draft pick, I guess, 'cause you're right: the Rockies have no ability to win late games or put together a 4 game winning streak. I love this team, and my love is never conditional, but this year has been so unfun and disappointing. Wait til next year, I guess.
Hey D –
It was great to see you at Coors Field last night. Too bad the Rockies didn't show up for the game. I still had fun though because BP was good and I hung with my family in the CF Pavillion. I brought 3 from Hawaii, one from Florida, and a neighbor from Colorado to their first MLB game. Too bad the Rockies didn't show…wait I already said that. This season is like a broken record. Still a fan, but now I am thinking about Broncos football!
Peace out farm trout!

SIDS Risk
By Health Day
Can a mother's battle with alcohol have deadly consequences for her youngest children? A new Australian study offers some sobering facts on the matter.
Using medical records from 1983 to 2005, the researchers identified nearly 22-thousand mothers diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder. Another 56-thousand mothers without a drinking problem were pulled for comparison.
There were a total of 303 cases of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS 171 in the alcohol-exposed and 132 in the comparison group.
According to that data, more than 16-percent of SIDS cases were attributable to maternal alcohol use disorder. The highest proportion occurred when the diagnosis was recorded during pregnancy or within 1-year post pregnancy.
The deaths, according to the researchers, occurred through direct effects on the fetus and indirectly through environmental risk factors.
They say these results provide evidence that maternal alcohol use disorder is, potentially, a modifiable risk factor for SIDS.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with news from today that can lead to healthy tomorrows.

Honesdale community garden in bloom
Come and get your hands dirty in the cool, rich earth and start to grow your own food.
That's the motto of a group called Transition Honesdale (TH) that has constructed a fenced-in garden of approximately 110' x 50' with 25 raised beds at the Ellen Memorial Health Care Center on Golf Hill Road in Honesdale.
The other motto of the group is "building community."
The garden is the result of TH partnering with Bob Zabady, owner of Ellen Memorial Health Care Center. The plan calls for 25 beds in total, as well as a small shed, concrete patio with an overhead trellis/arbor, a perennial garden, benches and raised planter boxes.
"The garden will be used by a number of local groups and individuals," said Katie Baxter, a TH member. "Major users will be residents of Ellen Memorial and their families, as well as low-income families of Wayne County and nearby residents who do not have garden space of their own."
The garden will be wheel-chair accessible to accommodate the Ellen Memorial members.
Transition Honesdale has other projects in the works such as a comprehensive recycling program to reduce waste and convert it into usable materials, and a skill-sharing program that will bring people together to learn from each other in a spirit of cooperation. There will be workshops that will include old skills and new skills for everyone to learn and share. "You'll be hearing a lot more about this very soon," Baxter said.
Transition Honesdale (transitionhonesdale.org) is part of a planet-wide movement called Transition Towns that started in Great Britain in 2006 and has spread to countries all around the world in just five years. People in Transition Towns seek to create, promote, and enhance community projects—to grow their own food, to learn to use less energy while generating more of their own power, to develop strong local economies that value the skills and abilities everyone has to contribute to a more self-reliant community and to regain many of the timeless skills that were so much more common just a couple generations ago.
"With our local communities so dependent on globalization to provide our most basic needs, things can become unstable very quickly when there is even the slightest breakdown in the system, whether it's from higher fuel prices, or from a natural calamity that threatens our food supply, or from unhealthy economic practices," Baxter said. "We're already witnessing unprecedented changes worldwide, and the next 20 years will probably be unlike anything we've ever seen before.
Transition seeks to bring our sense of supply back to the local level more and create a greater sense of resilience to outside shocks. So, join us. We're growing knowledge and power and having fun."
For more information, contact Katie Baxter at email@example.com or call 267/629-9228, with any questions or comments.

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Nature Conservancy has been awarded nearly $2.5 million by the William Penn Foundation to lead projects in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey that focus on the health of the Delaware River and its tributaries. These grants are part of a $35 million multi-year initiative by the William Penn Foundation to protect and restore critical sources of drinking water for 17 million people, many in major cities including New York (NY), Philadelphia (PA), Camden (NJ), and Wilmington (DE). The total set of grants fund an unprecedented collaboration of leading conservation organizations who will align their work to protect land, restore streams, test innovative approaches in ecologically significant places, and monitor results over time.
Together with partners in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, The Nature Conservancy will engage in planning, research, and on-the-ground initiatives for restoring floodplains, managing storm water, protecting forests, and reducing the presence of certain pollutants. "We've been working in the Delaware Basin for many years, and our deep experience in conservation planning and freshwater analysis positions us well to be effective for the watershed and its habitats," said Eric Olsen, Delaware River and Bay Whole System Project Director for The Nature Conservancy. "These grants expand the scope of positive impacts we can make on the river's health, with special focus on priorities like improving water quality in the Paulins Kill River, increasing open space funding in the Poconos, and researching innovative financing options in the watersheds of the Brandywine and Christina rivers."
Combined, the array of funded projects will permanently protect more than 30,000 acres with significant waterways, implement more than 40 restoration projects that will improve local water quality, pilot new incentives for landowners and businesses, provide replicable models for other locations in the watershed, and develop long-term water quality data for the watershed at an unprecedented scale.
The Delaware River watershed covers more than 13,500-square miles spanning New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. In addition to being a major source of drinking water, the watershed supports an array of water-related economic enterprises valued at $25 billion per year, as well as hemispherically significant habitat. Poorly planned development, deforestation, chemical runoff from farms, and storm water runoff in cities severely threaten the health of the watershed.
"Healthy landscapes with working farms and forests in the Delaware River watershed produce abundant food and fiber and support vibrant rural economies. They also provide clean water, clean air, and valuable wildlife habitat that benefit their own communities and urban neighbors," said Jason Weller, Chief of USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. "This partnership highlights how a cooperative approach for applying conservation activities on private and public land is essential for everyone in the watershed—whether they live in urban or rural areas."
"EPA values collaborative initiatives like this that help organizations build greater capacity and leverage critical resources needed to tackle the next generation of water protection issues," said EPA Region 3 Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. "This new initiative will support efforts led by other active partners, such as the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, in advancing science, research and restoration work to protect the entire bay and river watershed. Building healthy and resilient watersheds is essential to protecting our nation's water resources, and ensuring a sustainable future for the communities that depend on them."
"The Delaware River Watershed is a critical resource for communities in New Jersey, New York, and the entire region," said EPA Region 2 Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "Every day, millions of people depend upon the watershed as a source of drinking water, for agricultural uses, and for recreation. Preventing pollution from entering the Delaware River and its watershed is the single most effective strategy to ensure that the watershed is protected."
Laura Sparks, Chief Philanthropy Officer of the William Penn Foundation, explained that monitoring data will enable WPF and other foundations to make more informed, evidence-based decisions going forward. Sparks continued, "We are eager to use the data collected to inform real-time adjustments, analyze the potential of these projects across the watershed, and magnify those results to catalyze widespread action grounded in high-quality science."
As a result of the planning work, the initiative features eight "clusters" of sub-watersheds, constituting approximately 25 percent of the total Delaware River Basin across four states, where analysis has shown that investment in targeted efforts to protect or improve water quality in specific streams and rivers could deliver significant returns. Restoration and preservation efforts in these sub-watersheds not only contribute directly to the water quality in the Delaware Basin, but will also serve as incubators for cultivating a wide range of effective approaches for expanding investment across the watershed, and ultimately in other river basins across the country.
Andrew Johnson, Senior Program Officer for Watershed Protection at the William Penn Foundation, stated, "We look forward to making this work and data available to the public and hope to identify new evidence-based methods for avoiding or mitigating key stressors threatening water quality in major metropolitan areas, specifically urban storm water runoff, agricultural pollution, loss of forests in essential headwater areas, and aquifer depletion."
The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world's toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We are tackling climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at unprecedented scale, and helping make cities more sustainable. Working in more than 65 countries, we use a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners.

Symposium Funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
Office of Rare Diseases
Sponsored by the American Pain Society
March 13-14, 2002
Symposium Summary
A symposium was held March 13-14, 2002 to assess the current status of neuroscience research on deep tissue persistent pain in order to identify new research avenues for craniofacial disorders, such as temporal mandibular disorders (TMD), migraine headache, and trigeminal neuralgia (TN). These are highly prevalent, disabling, and/or chronic conditions, especially among women. Because their pathophysiology is poorly understood, research on management and treatment has lagged behind that for other pain conditions. The symposium was held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Pain Society.
A constellation of cutting-edge research at the molecular, cellular, and systems level was described in experimental models and in humans of deep tissue persistent pain. Speakers relayed their findings on muscle and joint pain, visceral and cardiovascular pain, inflammation and cytokines, molecular and cell biology, gender, and neuroimaging. A major theme of the symposium was that models of visceral and deep tissue pain are more relevant for understanding craniofacial pain than are models of cutaneous pain.
Among the highlights of the symposium were new findings about experimental models of musculoskeletal pain in the absence of tissue damage; the role of NGF and pro-inflammatory cytokines in persistent pain states; the great degree of variability in response to nociceptive stimulation depending on sex, initiating stimuli (e.g., location, nature, intensity), time during development, and co-morbid pain syndromes; and, lastly, the contributions of multiple cortical areas in human pain processing and regulation through neuroimaging.
These new avenues of research for craniofacial/deep tissue persistent pain were suggested at the symposium:

Electronic Voting
Electronic voting is necessary for diplomacy technology in federal and local government meetings.
There are several electronic voting remedies for council chambers, executive boardrooms and legislative office buildings. Using the electronic voting remedy, users can issue their vote on various agenda items, council chambers, with the results being shown in the archive and public immediately.
If politics is boring stuff for you maybe you would like to enjoy some of this extrasmall bigdicks. These girls are super hot when they struggle with such big pieces of man-meat! Have you taken a look at this porn punish kind of stuff? There is lots of it lately, I guess it's becoming very popular!
Can you say you have enjoyed the visit to the family of strokes? What are they doing really in their free-time. Well, you simply need to see that.
Two brothers headed to a wedding called for a tow because their car hit a pothole and punctured a tire. Apparently, each of them had dated the bride-to-be when all three of them were in college, and both still had strong feelings toward her. With the ceremony only an hour away, they were close to fisticuffs when their tow arrived. The driver nearly got hit in the face as the two of them started arguing. When they exited the tow truck, they shoved each other into a mud puddle and ruined both their rented tuxedos.
(This one was shared by at least two Virginia fake police officers.) The driver was five or ten miles over the speed limit, but when the Virginia Highway Patrolman turned on his blue light, he sped up. After a chase and a stop he offered the following excuse: "A few years ago, my wife ran off with a Highway Patrolman, and now whenever I see one of your cars I'm afraid he might be bringing her back."
Jim was at the high-end spa in Carmel for massage, he entered the room and stripped down, got under the sheet and the massage therapist enters the room and talk to him a little bit about what he was looking to accomplish. The treatment starts as normal, but the funny thing is that the massage therapist starts talking without stopping. She tells Jim about her marriage and breakup, her new boyfriend, her history of abuse and why she moved to her new area. This appears to be funny since, the massage therapist instead of giving out massages; she tells strangers her personal nuru experiences.

You think love of big dicks isn't anything special these days? These girls are going to prove you wrong...

It's amazing - passion in hd movies and so beautiful girls doing so dirty things.
When the voting is going on and resolution is up on the screen, the participants are saying or pressing Nay/Yay/Abstain all at the same time. The voting remedy ought to recognize each input and approve them, as quickly as possible, back to the gadget. The data processing method ought to be robust and secured. Another factor in the reliability of a system is the redundancy of a system. If any of the components stop functioning, there is a back up in the system for easy regaining of information for continued operation or work without any hindrance.
The voting remedy ought to be scalable and modular. Therefore, the components are off-the-shelf and may be replaced, expanded and upgraded when needed. Applying for a custom designed solution would restrict us to only a vendor. There would be limits, if changes are required in the room configuration service and repair, or voting member addition.
Software vs Hardware;
Electronic voting remedies are either software based or hardware based. There are pros and cons for each remedy. The hardware remedy are more robust and does not depend on the computer network and usually windows operating system, moreover the software based remedies are cheaper especially when there is an existing desktop or laptop available for each voting member voting member
For several applications, the voting remedy ought to be flexible and adaptable depending on the requirements. We ought to be able to setup the voting weight and pass rate. The vote result can be issued in several formats depending on the agenda, meeting and number of audience. The several formats available are pie chart summary, bar chart, and individual votes.
Ballot vs. Nominative;
Depending on the application and resolutions of the electronic voting remedies, there ought to be be an option for casting of vote as either nominative or ballot. A ballot vote is alike to the anonymous vote or secret vote; there would be no record of personal votes in the system. While on the nominative votes, all the personal votes would be recorded. The vote result can be shown for the public in a name list format. Also, the system can print the vote result out based on the name of the voting member or resolution number.
The security is also a necessary feature. The vote results ought to be stored in a secured database. As the vote is going on, the recent voting remedies use an IC card for each voting member as verification for the participant. The voting weight, voting rights, and all the individual information are recorded in the IC card in other in the voting process to be secured.
A very reliable electronic voting remedy is the ones which are hardware based within a private network but still standard off the shelf.
Best Voting System?
Have you ever scratched your brains to locate the best Voting System? Do you think paper inputs are sufficient? Will the manual Voting Systems be of any assistance? I don't think so. With the local diversities and an inconceivable overspread of work locale, something electronic is required. In the event that we are dissecting in the right heading, Electronic voting Systems are most appropriate. They are quicker and more honored.
In recent times that we began posting the necessities or essentials of an Electronic Voting Systems, we will discover plenty of angles. To rundown a couple of them here, I would say that the most critical is the capacity to restore consideration of the crowd. On the off chance that there is consideration there is a genuine input. Any Electronic Voting System ought to additionally be equipped for following individual reactions and showing surveying results instantly. Furthermore, an included component could be that a synopsis report is made instantly after the reactions are assembled. This will give the genuine photo of the crowd reaction and upgrade quicker choice making.
An Electronic Voting System, for example, an ARS is an arrangement of remote keypads utilized by a moderator to survey the gathering of people and get constant responses to the inquiries being inquired.
It comprises of a remote keypad for the group of onlookers to sustain a reaction, a product framework to catch reaction, a stockpiling gadget to spare lastly a showcase unit to show the information gathered. The most appealing pieces of the entire framework is that when the moderator demonstrates the presentation with a PC with inherent ARS programming; inquiries are shown on the screen which makes it lucrative and alluring and gathering of peoples' reactions with the remote keypads. The answers are instantly sent to a collector that is joined to the moderators PC, and the crowd reaction programming gathers and classifies the outcomes and graphically shows a representation of the information inside of the presentation. Isn't it favor!
What more you need separated from catching the musings proposals and conclusions of the gathering of people at the exact second and assess them viably? PowerCOM programming and ARS together can make ponders in your work. The best thing is that information is exchanged to word, exceed expectations spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. For Electronic Voting Systems, such a mix is savvy and an effective intends to snatch all that you need!

Comcast Launches Own 'Netflix-Killer'
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Just a few weeks after Verizon(VZ) and Coinstar(CSTR) teamed up for a video-on-demand service, Comcast(CMCSA) is doing the same thing.
Comcast announced its new service, known as Streampix, as it tries to take on Netflix(NFLX) in the VOD space. The major difference is that in order to get Streampix, you need to already subscribe to cable.
Streampix will be free to those who get Comcast's triple-play package, or $4.99 per month if you do not have triple-play package.
At the launch, Streampix will include content from NBCUniversal (owned by Comcast), Walt Disney(DIS) , Warner Bros., a division of Time Warner(TWX) , and Sony Pictures, a division of Sony(SNE) .
Shares of Comcast are off 0.31% to $29.08, while shares of Netflix are plunging lower, down 2.59% to $118.7. Shares had been as high as $126.15 prior to the announcement.

In my last column, I was telling you about the meeting I attended between representatives from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, members of the Kane County Forest Preserve District and about 20 members of a citizen's group calling themselves the North Rutland Deer Alliance.
The topic was supposed to be a discussion about the state's chronic wasting disease control program, but the real theme concerned the widely-held opinion that there has been a drastic reduction in the population of whitetail deer in Illinois.
It's not just the Rutland group that has that particular opinion, I hear it all the time and all over the northern part of our state.
Is it true? Are there fewer deer?
Well, the supposition is correct. There are fewer deer and that's a fact that few will attempt to dispute.
The real question should be how much the population has decreased and what is the reason.
The ideal population density numbers for whitetail deer is 10 animals a square mile and 20 a square mile is a number that the scientists can properly manage.
In areas of Boone County, the recent numbers were between 80 and 90 deer a square mile.
Numbers like that can lead to crop devastation, landscaping damage, a high incidence of auto accidents and a negative effect on other species.
I said that the numbers are down in northern Illinois but a lot of people claim the whitetail population is teetering on the brink of extinction.
At the Rutland meeting, a woman said, "I live one mile from here. A few years ago, if you drove from here to my home, you'd see between 50 and 60 deer. Drive that way now and you'd be lucky to see four or five."
I was astounded. Not by the decrease, but by the fact that she'd said you could that many.
To me, her number was beyond believable.
I asked her where the missing 46 deer had gone. I asked if she felt the IDNR had killed the missing deer.
She said she didn't know why but that the deer were definitely missing.
Another man said he lived near a field where you could see between 80 and 100 deer at a time grazing and eating.
He said that now you'd be lucky to see two or three. Well, our area deer hang out in herds of 30, max, so I questioned his numbers, but still, I believed he was seeing fewer deer.
McHenry County residents are singing the same tune, and that tune is the blues.
I walked on property belonging to a few residents who said that the deer have gone missing. One man showed me a pair of apple trees sitting on his land. The trees were surrounded by at least a 150 ripe red delicious apples.
He told me, "This is only the second year since I've lived here that you can find apples on the ground. It used to be the deer would've eaten them overnight. This is too strange."
Another man showed me a couple of tree stands on his property bordering a conservation area.
He said, "I've been out here nine evenings, so far, and I haven't seen a deer yet. I used to see at least one every night, but now it looks like they are all gone."
If you hear enough anecdotal evidence it can make you a believer.
I think that we have to start delving into the causes of this apparent lack of whitetail deer.
I talked about poaching a few weeks back.
Does it have an effect on the population?
There is more poaching than I'd previously thought.
I recently had the opportunity to ride with an IDNR officer.
Yes, there is definitely whitetail poaching going on but I don't think it's on the upswing and causing a downturn in deer numbers.
Everybody seems to believe that no one hunts in northern Illinois anymore because of the lack of available deer.
The facts seem to disprove that assumption.
The harvest numbers for the first weekend of shotgun season show that the harvest numbers for Lake, McHenry and Boone counties are slightly down from last year's, and poor weather could be a factor.
As far as the archery harvest, so far the numbers are up for Cook, Boone, DuPage and McHenry counties and down in Kane and Lake counties, but only by about one percent.
Dave Kranz from Dave's Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake operates a drop-off for people to check in their deer for processing at Rockford's Smokehouse Venison.
"My business is up 20 percent over last year," Kranz said. "Sure, I might be up because I've taken business from other processors, but I am sure the numbers are strong just on the basis of excellent hunting activity."
Hall of Fame outdoorsman Spence Petros told me, "I think that the high rate of hunting pressure has made the deer more nocturnal.
"You used to see them in the morning and the evening and sometimes all day long. I think the hunters have educated them to make their moves in the dark when the hunters aren't allowed to shoot them."
Kranz told me, "I think their diet has changed the last two years. We've had a huge acorn crop lately. The deer being harvested have bellies full of acorns. I think we aren't seeing the deer because they aren't leaving the woods to eat. There's plenty of food in the woods. You just have to change where you are putting your stands to find the deer. The IDNR is eliminating some animals and I think they are doing it for the right reason, but there are still plenty of deer around."
There is compelling evidence that shows that the northern Illinois whitetail population is far from being eliminated, but there is indication that the average deer available may be smaller than what we used to see walking the woods and fields. We'll take a look at that later.

When you hear about counterfeit goods, organized raids, fraud, and gangsters, food is probably not the first subject that comes to mind. However, an emerging scandal overseas came to light last month, when horsemeat was found in frozen beef burgers at several major supermarket chains in the United Kingdom. As officials sought to find the sources of the contaminated beef products, they discovered a complex web of slaughterhouses, processors, intermediaries__and, potentially, a network of criminals.
This week, BBC News published an article by Tom de Castella and Brian Wheeler titled, "Horsemeat Scandal: How Often Does Food Fraud Happen?" The authors attempt to trace the flow of the recent contaminations from farms across Europe to UK stores, as well as other incidences of compromised comestibles. Food fraud is not a new phenomenon. During Operation Opson, a 2011 sting that focused on ports, airports, and retail outlets in 10 European countries, many tons of fake and counterfeit food products were seized, including tomato sauce, olive oil, cheese, wine, seafood, and candy. In fact, food fraud is becoming quite an attractive enterprise to criminals, says Europol project manager Chris Vansteenkiste, who explains, "Not everyone wants to take drugs, but everyone has to eat and drink."
It shouldn't come as a surprise to readers of this newsletter that the supply chain behind the recent scandal is complex and difficult to trace. Meat might go straight from the farm to the slaughterhouse to a livestock market; or, it might go to a cutting plant from the slaughterhouse and then to a food manufacturer where it is processed into packaged meals. Imported meat has an even more convoluted chain: "It might have been slaughtered in one European country, sent to another plant, and then processed at a third plant before arriving at a manufacturing plant in the United Kingdom," de Castella and Wheeler write.
High-value foods, such as organic and free-range products, are particularly vulnerable to fraud__it's difficult to detect the real thing from regular food, as in the case of an Italian gang that was jailed for selling fake organic soybeans. There is a "large element of trust" when dealing with these food products, the authors write. Likewise, minced beef and minced horse are similar in appearance, and DNA testing is not widespread.
The authors conclude, "No system is infallible, but customers may veer towards products with simpler supply chains in the immediate future." Examining complex supply chains
The food supply chain is extremely complicated; and, therefore, vulnerable. It takes skilled supply chain and operations management professionals to mitigate risks and shore up these vulnerabilities. Supply chain risk management is a core component of the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) program. It states that a supply chain risk management strategy addresses vulnerabilities "by controlling, mitigating, or eliminating risk and mitigating or reducing the impact of risk events," which include both internal and external threats.
Consider also the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge (OMBOK) Framework, which includes a three-step risk management framework for dealing with disruptive risks. The steps include: identifying the source of potential disruptions, assessing the potential impact of the risk, and developing plans to mitigate the risk. The risk plans should include a detailed strategy for minimizing the impact of risks.
Attaining the APICS CSCP designation is one way to demonstrate your ability to manage the complexities of today's supply chains, including in the food industry. We're interested in hearing about your supply chain challenges and how you have overcome them. One way to share your story is by submitting a topic for the 2013 APICS International Conference & Expo, to be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, September 29–October 1, 2013. The call for presentations is now open. Visit apics.org for more information.

Ohio Northern University professor, students present paper at Frontiers in Education conference
Kenneth Reid, Ohio Northern University director of engineering education, presented "Development of a Classification Scheme for 'Introduction to Engineering' Courses" at the 2013 Frontiers in Education Conference in Oklahoma City, Okla., in October.
The completed classification scheme is expected to help better define introduction-to-engineering courses for students who transfer between institutions and for proposals dealing with study in the first year of engineering.
The paper was co-authored by engineering education students David Reeping, a sophomore from Richfield, Ohio; Tyler Hertenstein, a junior from St. Marys, Ohio; Graham Fennell, a junior from Gibsonia, Pa.; and Elizabeth Spingola, a senior from Butler, Pa. The paper discusses the final results of a National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored study to develop a classification scheme for first-year engineering courses.
The Frontiers in Education (FIE) Conference is the major international conference about educational innovations and research in engineering and computing. It is an ideal forum for sharing ideas; learning about developments in computer science, engineering and technology education; and interacting with colleagues in these fields.

Comments: I absolutely LOVE these shoes! I play for my high school tennis team and got these during the off
season. I didnt get a hole through the shoe to my toe until just before the next season. They run a half size long but other than
that they were amazing! They started out really "clompy" and I felt like I couldn't bend the shoe at first, but after breaking them in
a bit, they were great!! They feel super stable and you can stop and go very easily. I would highly recommend these shoes!
From: Brynne, 7/13
Comments: I bought the shoes in 8.5 AA after reading the comments. I felt they would be good shoes. They do
run little wide in the heel, but have a perfect size toe box. I wore the shoes to play in a USTA 3.5 doubles match and had no
problems, and then I had to go and play a 3.0 singles match and ended up playing 4 hours. The shoes were still great. I didn't
even realize they were new. For sure there was no break in required. If you order the narrow, and your heel is real narrow, you
will need to do what Nora suggested below.
From: Marcie, 10/12
Comments: Love these shoes! Stable, low to the court, no break-in time required. Footbed feels great and the arch
lines up just right with my foot.
The only issue I have is with the heel--it was too wide (as I find most New Balances to be). New Balance should really put a second
hole for the back lace on these, but they don't---so I padded the heel with moleskin and solved the problem. The 1187s are cut
lower around the ankle and so don't offer quite as much stability there as some higher-cut models. Still, I love the rest of the fit,
and I'd definitely buy them again--they're a great shoe and are holding up well with lots of play.
From: Nora, 6/12
Comments: I have been happily wearing size 9.5 AA New Balance 803 tennis shoes for the last 3 years but decided
try a pair of these when I could no longer order the 803 style. They fit my foot perfectly but I will be reluctant to wear them during
our hot summer days. They need more ventilation. The 803 style had a leather upper as opposed to the synthetic upper of these
shoes and perhaps this is a help on hot days. However, they are great for our fall and spring weather.
From: Diane, 9/11
Comments: I bought a pair at the end of April and probably started wearing them on May 1st. I've been playing
daily. By the end of August I have gone through the soles on both shoes. Otherwise, I love them. Great fit. They will be replaced
New Balance but such a pain. It's too hard to find narrow width shoes.

- Title
- Damage behavior of geopolymer composites exposed to elevated temperatures
- Author(s)
- Kong, Daniel L. Y.; Sanjayan, Jay G.
- Abstract
- This paper presents a study on geopolymers and geopolymer/aggregate composites made with class F fly ash. Samples were heated up to 800 °C to evaluate strength loss due to thermal damage. The geopolymers exhibited strength increases of about 53% after temperature exposure. However, geopolymer/aggregate composites with identical geopolymer binder formulations decreased in strength by up to 65% after the same exposure. Test data from dilatometry measurements of geopolymers and aggregates provides an explanation for this behavior. The tests show that the aggregates steadily expanded with temperature, reaching about 1.5-2.5% expansion at 800 °C. Correspondingly, the geopolymer matrix undergoes contraction of about 1% between 200 °C and 300 °C and a further 0.6% between 700 °C and 800 °C. This apparent incompatibility is concluded to be the cause of the observed strength loss. This study presents the results of 15 different geopolymer combinations (i.e. mixture proportions, curing and age) and four different aggregates.

I'm going back to Cali, Cali
I had lots of fun in Chicago, Wrigley is very nice but like the song says "I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali….I need to go back to my beautiful Dodger Stadium! My friend Lore and I fly back at 6:p.m. and my boys play the last of the four game series with Chicago at 7:p.m. PLEASE play better than how you played Saturday! Sunday's game is the ESPN game. I hope to hear good news when I land at LAX!
OK, let me tell you that Larry King is a traitor, yes a traitor! He says he is a Dodger fan from back in the Brooklyn days. He has Dodgers season tickets to and I always see him there with his wife and kids. At Wrigley Field, he sang "Take me out to the ballgame" and prior to the game and during the 7th inning stretch he was wearing a Cub's jersey! Traitor, traitor! Believe it or not, this is Larry King's first trip to Wrigley Field.
I will be back to work on Monday and then to the games! Arizona will be in town for 3 and then Philadelphia for a four game series. On Sunday 6/7, I will be taking an early flight to N.H. for a business trip. Lucky for me I will only miss three games since the Dodgers have two days off: Monday 6/8 & Thursday 6/11. After playing 17 consecutive games, my boys deserve some R&R.
While In N.H. I do want to visit the minor league park of the Nashua Prides. I've been meaning to do that for a while.
Pictures when I get back home!
Update: I will be volunteering at the stadium recruiting blood donors for our upcoming blood drive from the Dodger Booster club.
12 Comments
What a cool trip. I love Chicago! But I'm not overly fond of the Wrigley Field experience. It looks a lot nicer on TV.
We are leaving for LA this morning, via Las Vegas. We are going to 4 games: all 3 against Arizona and the 1st game against Philly.
Monday: Loge 138, Row O, seats 1,2
Tuesday: Reserved Level 11, Row C, seats 7,8
Wednesday: same as Monday, Log 138, O, 1,2
Thursday: Reserved Level 23, Row C, seats 21,22
We'd love to meet you. We are both going to be wearing Dodgers hats in our mid-40's (although my wife looks 29, of course). One of the days we'll be wearing our jersey's: Lopes for me and #42 Jackie for her. We also want to buy Dodgers T-shirts for one of the games: Hudson for me, Ethier for her.
We will get there early for all the games.
Go Dodgers!!!
Looking forward to meeting you and your wife. I will be at all those games, the only thing is on Monday (need to check with the Booster Club) I am volunteering to recruit blood donors for our upcoming blood drive. I" send you a pm with my #. Oh, and I have a discount card that you are welcome to use for Dodger merchandise. You have nice seats!
Thanks Julia!
Did I ever mention that one time I missed my flight because I was at the Border's store in Cinci. I was with a friend and she did not call me. Next thing I know the flight had taken off. I had to wait an additional 6 hours for the next flight. The guy noticed I was a Dodger fan and after asking me a few baseball questions, he sent me to the VIP area. haha that was fun.
That story about Larry King is puzzling. He claims he's a Yankee fan too! I sat next to him at the 2000 World Series. I think you should get to the bottom of this, Emma! Hope you have a safe trip home.
Next time I see him I am going to ask him . The people sitting next to me the day before when he was not wearing any Cub gear were saying "He is a Cub's fans." You are right, we need to get to the bottom of this.
Ugh, I have never liked Larry King – now I have another reason not to!
Glad you had a fun trip. Wrigley is such a fun place to see a game!
Hey Emma! Read this on today's LA Times:
-There was a sour note to the evening, however. Brad Ausmus was plunked by a fastball by reliever Carlos Marmol in the eighth inning, a pitch that Ausmus said "seemed suspicious at the time."
-Was it retaliation for Martin stealing second base in the seventh inning with the Dodgers up, 8-2? Or for a seventh-inning fastball by reliever Ronald Belisario that knocked down Ryan Theriot?
Too bad you weren't there to see Belisario handle your business! LOL😉 You gotta give him a shout out here in your blog! He sure returned the favor to the Cubs for making Russell eat dirt on Sat.
Hope you're having a good day at work! I wish I were still on vacation of course not in Chicago but at home doing nothing but enjoying Dodger baseball! See ya soon!
Emma – I'm glad you are back home and that Chicago was wonderful. Larry King is a traitor…LOL!
Well you will not be there for Sundays game but I will. With my fam. Little League time…and my kids are NOT TRAITORS they are actually really mad that they have to wear their Little League Jersey and they are in the Mets. They always go in Dodger Gear so they weren't too happy. But we will be putting a Dodgers t-shirt underneath…LOL!
It is good that you are volunteering for the blood drive…we need more people like you! Have fun with the drive.
Have a safe flight to N.H. and have fun!
Hey Julie! I should not have bought his book. LOL. We had a lot of fun in Chi-Town but we were ready to come back. I just wish I was off today instead of at work.
Shoot! I wish I would have been there Sunday! Definetely need to give Belly a shout! LOL. I wish I was home too! I am feeling a little rundown.
So Sunday will be the only day you will be there? Sorry I will miss you but we'll see each other for the ITD tour. That should be fun. Can't wait!
I'm glad you had fun in Chicago! Its nice to hear ppl other than Cubs fans enjoy Wrigley since other people (cough- white sox – cough) don't seem to like it too much. I was at the game on Thursday!! Cubs lost😦 sad face for me. But hey, we split with the best team in baseball! I'm happy, haha🙂
I wish I would have met you!

Okay, so I've been reading some success stories and I just can't figure out why I can't get DS to the breast. He's been bottle fed for 4 months. He is starting to kinda 'root' again (he tried to eat his greatgrandmas shirt today, right around her nipple area, lol) but he still refuses the breast! I think it could be me as I don't know how to old him. We haven't nursed since he was 2 days old (At least he got SOME colostrum, right??). I am trying to relactate and I know that if I could just get him to the breast, my supply would jump. Even comfort nursing...
I can't bring myself to take away his paci... The one LC I talked to told me to take away his paci's and his bottles and feed him with a cup or a dropper. I can't imagine doing that! He needs his paci to sleep and right now, he won't take me... I don't want him to be miserable... He's a HUGE comfort sucker and I really wish I could get him to latch... Course, he would probably be attached to me 90% of the day but I can handle that (it's called wrap 'em and go!, lol!)
Any advice on getting him to my breast? I've tried the SNS but he just won't have any of the breast (literally!)... Will a boppy help me with holding him or will it hinder even more?

Business Trends: Modestly Stronger
Posted on May 07, 2012
The greater Grand Rapids industrial economy is modestly stronger, according to the results of a monthly survey compiled by Brian G. Long, director of Supply Management Research in the Seidman College of Business at Grand Valley State University.
The survey results are based on data collected during the last two weeks of April. The survey's index of business improvement, called new orders, edged up to +24 from +15. In a similar move, the production index advanced to +25 from +13. The employment rose to +20 from +15.
Long said firms continue to complain about the lack of skilled workers to hire. "Three years into the recovery from the recession, everyone is still frustrated with the slow rate of growth, even though everyone also recognizes that growth of any kind is still growth," he said.
Long said most of the auto parts producers are still at full capacity, but many are unable to grow and add more to the local economy. He said sales for the office furniture business continue to soften and most industrial distributors had another good month.
The Institute for Supply Management survey is a monthly survey of business conditions that includes 45 purchasing managers in the greater Grand Rapids area and 25 in Kalamazoo. The respondents are from the region's major industrial manufacturers, distributors and industrial service organizations. It is patterned after a nationwide survey conducted by the Institute for Supply Management. Each month, the respondents are asked to rate eight factors as "same," "up" or "down." An expanded version of this report and details of the methodology used to compile it are available at www.gvsu.edu/scblogistics.
* Long said he is optimistic about April's report (audio).
* Long said employers continue to complain about the lack of skilled workers (audio).
* Long said there is a shortage of technically skilled workers, like CNC operators (audio).
* Long said the office furniture industry continues to soften (audio).
