The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
I planned where I wanted to be and what I needed to do and I got there by doing things that made me proud."
After having obtained my Bachelor of Science in Engineering from UTEP, and having lived the Miner Experience: university dorms, full-time studies, sports, the opportunity to meet international students and, most importantly, my beautiful wife, I determined to pursue a Masters Degree in fulfillment of a long-held desire. Research of all the masters programs offered at UTEP led me to consider the MBA in International Business because its diverse international approach would enable me to compete in a global company. The evening classes it offered did not conflict with my day-time work schedule and the professors who delivered the classes were most inspiring and engaging, the very best in their fields.
Two professors who made a particularly strong impact on me are Dr. Fernanda Garcia and Dr. Laurence Marsh. Dr. Garcia was very focused on the human factor and its position as the most important resource within a company. Dr. Marsh's class focused on case studies and their relevance to global companies. It enabled me to learn about Procter and Gamble, the topic for my final presentation for his class.
I would advise them to take advantage of the opportunity to take classes in International Economics and Organizational Management in order to gain a greater understanding of international trade, the emerging economies, and human resources. In addition, I would advise them to embrace the cultural diversity which UTEP affords, in terms of students and faculty, to become more knowledgeable in other cultures, religions and beliefs, and, most importantly, to learn a second language.
Currently, I work as production manager for Procter and Gamble's Charmin line, at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In that capacity, I interact with colleagues who are accustomed to a fast-paced, constantly-changing manufacturing environment and have dealt with top-of-the-line equipment, customer demand and needs, organization management, and the performance measurements of our line of top-premium quality products. As a consumer-goods company, Procter and Gamble supplies big retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, Sam's and Costco—retailers whose patrons look for products that are environmentally friendly, price competitive, and innovative. As the demographic of our country is changing, so must companies understand the needs and tastes of the diverse consumer and meet those needs through the manufacture of innovative products.
Success is the sum of all the accomplishments that took you to where you planned to be. It is being in contempt with failure and not trading results with excuses. Being away from my country, I found it very difficult to attend school while working. Having overcome those challenges, I am proud to have become the first member of my family to obtain a university degree. It's all in the attitude, one that I define as the "2MP Attitude." You must first define where and what you want to do, to know when you've gotten there. I planned where I wanted to be and what I needed to do and I got there by doing things that made me proud. I call it 2MP (do things that Make Me Proud).

After the Great Devastation
Publication Excerpt
I still had a million questions, but I knew better than to ask. We would have plenty of time for talking when we were out of range, after we attached our Wat-Coms to a cow's leg. I smiled at the thought. Were we actually going to do that? It sounded ridiculous but it was thrilling! My heart was thudding with excitement and I was trying to control its beating so it wouldn't betray us through my Wat-Com pulse monitor. We walked together through the Complex to the East Entrance, the same way we had done thousands of times. I felt eyes watching us, but my logic was working to convince me that they trusted us. They had no idea what we were doing. We were just kids who were going outside the Complex, inside the Wall, for a break. Then, there we were, out in the open, outside the building but inside the Wall, where every inch of space was covered by cameras. The Monitors who monitored the Outside monitors were more diligent than the rest of the Monitors. We had to behave the same way we always did, pretending to laugh and converse about nothing important. This time, though, we didn't stand around looking at the fountains or go sit on a bench by one of the manufactured gardens. We stayed on the path to the exit gate, as if we had clearance to leave. I had t o keep in mind, we DID have clearance to leave; Kenrick had given it to us, free and clear.
As we approached the Exit Gate, I used my breathing techniques so in my highly excited condition I wouldn't arouse the suspicion of the Gate Guards. The Gate Guards weren't paying any attention to us, though, for some reason. All four of them were entranced by their Wat-Coms. I glanced at mine and saw that nothing out of the ordinary was being displayed as we walked through the detectors. No alarms were sounded and the Gate Guards didn't even acknowledge our presence, an extremely odd occurrence. They didn't stop us. As I understood, they were to scan our IDs, ask us where we were going and how long we would be gone, and check our clearance in the computer. They didn't say anything to us. Kenrick was in the lead and he said something to them that I couldn't understand. They didn't respond to him. They didn't seem to even notice we were there, walking out of the Complex. We walked right out of the Complex!
We followed Kenrick straight down the road without talking. I had a hard time just walking and not dancing down the road, I was so excited. I saw a large building ahead of us in the distance. We approached the building and Hiding Cathy stopped and looked at the wall. She put her hand into a space and a small door opened in front of her. She beckoned for us to quickly follow her inside the building.

Our Failed Trade Policies Are Not Creating Jobs at Home
While the ugly and rancorous "fiscal cliff" battle has been playing out in Washington, another negotiation equally critical for America was also being conducted, this one behind closed doors far across the ocean: the impending Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement ("TPP"), also known as "NAFTA on steroids." The finalizing of this agreement between 11 nations — the U.S., Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam (Japan and China may join later) — has been delayed until spring 2013, thanks in part to Public Citizen leading an international outcry through their Global Trade Watch unit, which has been headed by director Lori Wallach since 1995.
Few can rival Ms. Wallach's expertise on trade agreements and their impact on nations and the larger world community, yet she was not among those invited to participate in these negotiations. Instead, 600 corporate advisors were in Auckland, New Zealand, over 10 days at the beginning of December, fine tuning this latest stealth trade deal during its 12th plus round of negotiations. Even the press was shut out. Clearly, Ron Kirk, the Obama administration's U.S. Trade Representative, is hoping to ram this deal through like other recent trade deals, without transparency or, for that matter, Congressional input.
Among the outrageous sellouts to multi-national corporations in the TPP is a plan to create "extra-judicial 'investor-state' tribunals," which would "… limit how signatory countries may regulate foreign firms operating within their boundaries, with requirements to provide them greater rights than domestic firms" and includes "… a two-track legal system, with foreign firms empowered to skirt domestic courts and laws to directly sue TPP governments in foreign tribunals… (where) they can demand compensation for domestic financial, health, environmental, land use laws and other laws they claim undermine their new TPP privileges." This agreement would also force member nations to conform domestic laws and regulations to TPP rules. Lori Wallach calls this — rightfully so — a "corporate coup d'etat," since the lawyer-judges running the tribunals would be in the employ of the multi-national corporations doing business in these countries, ensuring that their "bottom line" takes precedent over the health and welfare of member nations' citizens.
Other odious aspects of this agreement include:
- allowing drug companies to extend their patents for several years, depriving the needy of affordable, lifesaving drugs while forcing the rest of us to pay still higher prices;
- protections and benefits for corporations that move jobs to other countries;
- limitations on how government can use tax revenues;
- barring of initiatives like "Buy American," which is desperately needed to rebuild our economy and create green jobs;
- requirements that we import food that does not meet our standards of safety, as well as limitations on food labeling;
- rollbacks on regulation of Wall Street, including prohibiting a ban on risky financial services, making a mockery of the already tepid "Too Big to Fail" regulations passed after the 2009 crash;
- allowing Internet policing by service providers and monitoring of individual user activity on a large scale, negatively impacting people's freedom of speech, privacy and right to due process, and killing innovation.
And we won't even get into the provisions slipped into the TPP that gut regulations protecting land, air and water, as well as human and workers' rights — this crowd hasn't missed a trick. Meanwhile, all of this flim-flammery does nothing to address America's trade deficit — except make it worse.
This is certainly not the complete list of egregious corporate giveaways for this so called "free trade" agreement – which really has little to do with trade and more to do with multi-national corporations being given carte blanche to operate outside of the laws of sovereign nations. Have we learned nothing from NAFTA, which resulted in one million American jobs being lost? And what of the one million Mexican farmers who lost their livelihoods due to NAFTA's mandated agriculture policy changes, and the 2.5 million more livelihoods lost in Mexico when $2 per day wages became too high for corporate America, and those Mexican jobs headed to China, where wages can be as low as $1 per day. All in all, 26,000 small and medium sized Mexican businesses were lost in the first decade of NAFTA. Indeed, people on both sides of the Mexican-American border saw a decrease in their wages during the first NAFTA/WTO decade. With the resulting vast pool of unemployed people in desperate need of work, sweat shops on the Mexican side of the border were able to reap a harvest and pay as little as $0.60 to $1.00 per hour. It certainly comes as no surprise, therefore, that 1 in 10 Mexican nationals make the dangerous journey to cross the border into the U.S. NAFTA was clearly a major failure of Bill Clinton and his enabler, Rahm Emanuel. The TPP will be an even bigger disaster if it is implemented.

Episcopal decision
The confirmation of V. Gene Robinson
By all reports the Episcopal Church's General Convention, which took the unprecedented step of confirming an openly gay man as a bishop of the church, was a remarkably civil affair. Church leaders debated one of the most divisive theological issues of our time in respectful fashion. They addressed last-minute charges of personal misconduct against the bishop-elect, V. Gene Robinson, in a way that satisfied the assembly. After the vote confirming him as the bishop of New Hampshire, Robinson and his supporters refrained from triumphalism. All were mindful that the convention's action may prompt a major split in the church. "That is the only thing that makes this not a completely joyous day for me," said Robinson.

Jason York and his two roommates have lived in Bel Air Court, an East Side apartment complex, for more than four years.
"They've been fair to us," York said of their landlord, Indianapolis-based Sexton Cos. "This is really the first trouble we've ever really had with them."
Although the "first trouble" dealt with a small, even tiny, matter — 5 millimeters by 3 millimeters, tops — it turned out to be, in York's estimation, a huge one.
The 31-year-old graphic artist and his roommates had intended to renew their lease yet again, but when the paperwork arrived, it included a "pest-control addendum."
The addendum required the tenants to certify that their unit contained no bedbugs — those nearly invisible, blood-hungry parasites that have staged an unwelcome comeback here and elsewhere.
It further stipulated that the tenants would have to notify the landlord if bedbugs appear. At that point, they also would have to cooperate with extermination efforts and cover the entire cost, including any expenses associated with the elimination of bugs that might have spread to adjacent units.
On top of all that, if bedbugs appeared, the lease would terminate immediately and York and his roommates would be on the street faster than they could say, "Pass the Lanacane."
"That's harsh. What's the deal?" was his initial reaction, York said. "It just seemed draconian."
Draconian or not, such provisions have become increasingly common in rental agreements in central Ohio, thanks to the region's ongoing struggle with bedbugs, said Dianna Parker, a lawyer with the Legal Aid Society of Columbus.
Parker said that York and his roommates — or any renters presented with a pest-control addendum — have three options: Sign the agreement as is, negotiate changes in it, or move.
Parker, however, said she doubts that Bel Air Court's management could enforce its immediate-termination clause. Ohio law, she pointed out, requires a landlord to serve a tenant with a "notice to vacate" at least three days before the start of eviction proceedings, which could then drag on for weeks.
"So there's a process here that the tenants are entitled to under Ohio law that cannot be contracted away."
That won't be an issue, it turns out, in this case.
When WBNS-TV (Channel 10) called Bel Air Court's office to ask about its pest policy, the person who answered the phone said, "It's our company policy not to speak with reporters," and hung up.
Later that day, returning home from work, York and his roommates found a notice stating that their lease would not be renewed. They had 30 days to get out.
They won't need that much time. They've already found another apartment — in a complex that doesn't require tenants to sign a pest-control provision.
Better yet, the rent is less.

Community Recycling Centers are drop-off locations around Anchorage that accept a wide variety of recyclable materials. These sites are monitored for cleanliness and safety, and containers are emptied on a regular basis.
Location: 6161 Rosewood Street, Anchorage
Hours: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; regular weekday business hours for redemption of aluminum cans
Accepts: Aluminum cans, steel cans, mixed paper, corrugated cardboard, newspaper, #1 PET plastic bottles, #2 HDPE plastic jugs, plastic bags and film, glass bottles and jars
The Municipality is evaluating the need to establish additional community recycling centers, potentially on the east side of Anchorage and Girdwood.
Other drop-off locations for specific items exist throughout Anchorage.
Recognizing its critical role in setting an example of responsible stewardship of the environment to its students, staff, and community, the Anchorage School District (ASD) administration began a sustainable recycling program during the 2008-2009 school year. ASD implemented mixed paper and cardboard recycling in each of its 95 schools and five administrative buildings. ASD hired a recycling coordinator to oversee its recycling program. The coordinator is working closely with each site to increase participation and decrease contamination.
For school recycling updates, contact Andre Camara at 348-5151 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the ASD recycling program website.
While residential and commercial recycling activities generate the bulk of the materials through a comprehensive recycling program, public space recycling also is a key part of any municipal recycling program. Public space recycling is the face of recycling in Anchorage, showcasing our activities and enhancing Anchorage's image with visitors to the City.
Tourism is the second largest sector of Alaska's economy. Visitors come from across the country and around the world to visit our State and Anchorage is a major hub for travelers accessing the rest of the State. Anchorage itself is a destination as visitors come to attend events, as well as numerous business conferences and conventions. The impression that Anchorage makes on visitors is the impression that thousands of people take away from Alaska.
The Municipality is assisting public spaces such as sporting arenas, convention centers, museums, and the airport, as well as City Hall, Town Square Park, and other outdoor locations, to assess recycling needs and implement successful programs.

Glass recycling was one of the first things to suffer when the economy started its downturn in 2008. The private sector was wary of the inherent risks associated with reinvesting in glass recycling so SWS has been working to help reduce the obstacles.
In 2009, SWS contracted with the Alaska Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Inc. (AMEP) to research and identify potential products that could be manufactured locally. The resulting "white paper", published in February 2010, discusses the background, issues, and challenges associated with recycling glass in Alaska as well as the potential for using glass in the State. It also includes large appendices of technical resources that are available from the department.
In 2011, SWS issued two Requests for Proposal (RFPs) for recycling infrastructure development. A project to recycle glass (as well as construction and demolition debris) was just one of the projects funded through these grants. A local company has installed equipment and is testing material for production in spring 2012.
Glass recycling returned to Anchorage in November 2012. Long-term support is likely to continue for the collection.
An effective community-wide recycling program requires an effective public outreach and education campaign. Residents and businesses alike need to know both the HOWs and WHYs of recycling. Look for enhanced recycling information coming to your home as well as more detailed information in the Anchorage to Zero Waste Guides.

Despite Convention Distractions, It's Still All About the Economy
Mercifully, the political conventions have ended.
The political press will keep buzzing over whether Clint Eastwood's unconventional speech helped or hurt Mitt Romney and whether the snafu over Israel and God in the Democratic platform will do any lasting damage to President Obama. Republican reporters will think former President Clinton talked too long, and Democrats will note that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie talked more about himself than about Romney.
But they are missing the point. The campaign is about what's happening in America, not what the politicians are saying.
At the beginning of 2012, it was easy to note that if the economy got better, Obama would be reelected. If it got worse, he would lose. That general dynamic still applies, but the economic results aren't that clear cut.
At the beginning of the year, just 30 percent of working Americans thought they would be earning more in a year. By March, as glimmers of hope appeared in economic storylines, that number jumped to 43 percent: a great sign for the president. But then the trends began heading in the other direction. After 43 percent voiced optimism about higher pay in March, the numbers slipped to 42 percent in May, 41 percent in July and 40 percent today. And all of those figures are down from the president's early days in office.
A similar story can be seen by looking at the employment situation. In February, the Rasmussen Employment Index moved up to the highest level in years. Then this measure of labor market confidence began drifting in the opposite direction. Last month, the Employment Index hit a 10-month low. Just 21 percent of workers report that their firms are hiring, while 23 percent report layoffs. That's the second straight month where reported layoffs have topped hiring.
Additionally, 29 percent of those who have jobs are worried about losing them. That's up four points from a month ago and the highest level of concern measured since last fall.
Another measure of job security shows the same growing concern. Just 62 percent of workers expect it will be their choice to leave their current job. That's down 12 points since July and 19 points since May. When an employee chooses to leave, it's generally good news for the worker. Perhaps they got a better offer or saved enough to retire. If someone makes the decision for you, the options aren't as good. Right now, the number of people who think it will be their choice is at the lowest level since the summer of 2009.
Just about all of the economic data tell a similar story. Things are better today than they were in 2011 but not as good as they were earlier in 2012. The trend early in the year was good for the president, but now it's heading the other way. The number of Americans who believe their finances are in good shape is down from four years ago but up from last summer.
In the midst of all of this, 48 percent now trust Romney more than the president on the economy. Forty-four percent (44 percent) trust the president more. The good news for Romney is that he has the advantage on the most important issue of the campaign. The good news for the president is that Romney's advantage has been shrinking in recent months.
In short, the reality the political pundits too often miss is that what happens in the economy matters more than what happens in the campaigns.

Leeds Hopeful Over Howson Scan

The 23-year-old midfielder sustained the injury during last weekend's home win over Millwall and looks set to miss this Saturday's clash at Watford.
Manager Simon Grayson said: "Jonny will be seeing a specialist on Friday morning. We've been looking at every angle this week and have been assessing him and the severity of it.
"Sometimes these things can look worse than what they are. We should know more after the weekend."
Howson has not missed a game through injury since Leeds returned to the Championship in 2010 and started in all 46 league games last season.

This is so subjective but there is no doubt who is No. 1. ...
Here is my final boys basketball rankings, regardless of classification:
No. 10 Phoenix Brophy Prep (23-9): It beat Laveen Betty Fairfax twice. And Fairfax nearly beat Peoria in the D.II quarterfinals. Brophy's season ended against Corona del Sol 69-54 in the D.I quarterfinals. Before that, Brophy, led by center Tim Kempton and forward James Harper, had won eight of nine.
No. 9 Scottsdale Desert Mountain (20-10): It lost to Corona del Sol in the second round of the D.I state tournament. But it did give Pinnacle one of its four losses. And it beat Brophy Prep by nine in the sectional semifinals. Todd Fazio got his players to be defensive-minded and cohesive to pull out big wins. It ended Mesa Mountain View's 11-game winning streak when the Toros were trying to give coach Gary Ernst his record 775th career victory.
No. 8 Glendale Raymond S. Kellis (26-3): This is the only team to beat Peoria, and it did it twice, including a buzzer-beater for the D.II, Section II tournament title. Peoria's only other loss was by forfeit when it didn't have enough players to play Scottsdale Saguaro after all but three players had to serve a game suspension. This Kellis team was led by 6-9 senior Kenny Martin, who turned into being arguably the state's best defender. Senior guard Bikonzi Moise was another tremendous defender. And Demitrius Balark was a steady point guard who set his teammates up for points.
No. 7 Tucson Amphitheater (30-4): Another 30-win team that came up just short, losing to Peoria in the final after leading by as much as 14 points in the first half. Coach Ben Hurley has done a remarkable job raising the bar at a school that is becoming more known for basketball. He is going to miss the leadership and high hoops IQ of senior guard Tim Derksen, whose all-around play helped Amphitheater win the Class 4A-II championship last year. But the program is stable.
No. 6 Phoenix Pinnacle (30-4): This was looking so much like the year Pinnacle would get its state basketball championship. It hadn't lost since early January. It was playing great defense. It had great shooters all over the court. Drew Bender and Dorian Pickens were becoming one of the state's most lethal one-two scoring punches. But, it had too many defensive lapses against Cesar Chavez, and ended up losing in the semifinals again in heart-break fashion. Still, it should go into the off-season with confidence with Bender and Pickens back next season.
No. 5 Laveen Cesar Chavez (27-6): It gets the nod above a 30-win Pinnacle team based on its clutch semifinal performance. The Champions can thank senior guard J.D. Reagan for the overtime victory over Pinnacle. He scored 27 points, and made a difficult 3 in the final minute to tie the score and send the game into OT. It just wasn't big enough and strong enough on the glass to overcome Corona del Sol in the end to try to gain that elusive gold ball in D.I.
No. 4 Peoria (27-3): Its only court losses were against Glendale Raymond S. Kellis, which lost to Tucson Amphitheater in overtime in the D.II semifinals. Peoria fought back from a 14-point deficit to beat Amphi in the final, with dazzling point guard Dewayne Russell finishing it off with a pass inside to Sam Engler for the winning basket with three seconds left. There was a toughness to this team that few others had. It never doubted itself and was always clutch. Guard Lawrence Pierce was as good an all-around player in the state at season's end.
No. 3 Gilbert Christian (27-4): Captured the Division III championship in devastating fashion, beating Thatcher by 20 points. It was the third time Gilbert Christian beat the second-best team in Division III on the season. Gilbert Christian won its last 18 games. Included was a 34-point win at Thatcher in the final regular-season game. Sophomore Sam Jones, a 6-foot-7 forward, could be the state's No. 1 recruit by the time he is a senior. Foward Connor Patterson, a 6-7 senior, is a great rebounder and leader. Point guard Logan Fougnies is a solid playmaker. And first-year coach Jerome Joseph pulled them all together to mesh as a team.
No. 2 Phoenix Desert Vista (22-9): The Thunder got untracked after losing by 30 to Phoenix Pinnacle in the sectional. In its first state game, Desert Vista beate Mesa Mountain View by 32 points, then beat red-hot Gilbert before losing by three to Corona del Sol in the D.I semifinals. The team brimmed with state championship potential since season's beginning, played tough California competition during the break, and pulled it together late with star swingman Danny Powell getting teammates more involved in the offense.
No. 1 Tempe Corona del Sol (32-1): Just when you thought it was getting vulnerable, primed to lose a game late in the season, the Aztecs would come back with a vengeance after a so-so outing and show that there is no peer. Guards Calaen Robinson and Casey Benson were as good as they come, but power forward Avery Moss may have been the team's most valuable player, the way he defended and rebounded. If the AIA gave out MVPs for state tournaments, it would be Moss in Division I. He finished his career with an 18,-points, 21-rebounds, four-blocked shots performance in a 13-point victory over Laveen Cesar Chavez.

Other items of note: Emmylou talks about Gram in 2000; British biographical sketch; Keith Richards on Gram in Rolling Stone; an interview with Manuel, the designer of the famous Nudie suit.

The Delmore Brothers: early C&W pioneers.
The Delmore Brothers, hailing from north Alabama and active from 1926 to 1952, were an early country and western duo that married effortlessly relaxed (but very polished) harmonies with soulful country-boogie blues. Bob Dylan said of them: "The Delmore Brothers, God, I really loved them! I think they've influenced every harmony I've ever tried to sing." They're sure worth some listens, y'all.
Stringbean. And his banjo. And those pants.
For lovers of old-time, mountain banjo styles and songs, Roscoe Holcomb and Dock Boggs are revered figures. To many, however, plucker and singer David Akeman remains uncelebrated or unknown, even by his stage name of Stringbean. Is it because he was for a time actually famous as a country music showbiz staple, and therefore lacks folk cred? Or maybe the purists just can't get with those low-hanging pants the man was known for, his original hillbilly homeboy styling? Or was it cause on any given tune his left hand would likely be off the neck of the banjo more than on it? Whatever the reason, it's time folks took a new look at Stringbean. After all, the lines between folk and commercial styles have always been blurry in American music. Let's hear it for Stringbeeeeeeeaaan! [more inside]

Funny stuff
I would like personally apologize to any fans of the NY Football Giants for that beating yesterday at the hands of my Chiefs. That's how we do NFC Least patsies at home. When Arrowheads a rockin', don't come a knockin!!!! OYB(oh yea baby 4-0 for the first time in a decade) creepin on a come up!!!!
Funny stuff
Why rub it in for one game, be humble. The Chiefs haven't done anything for 50 years they're worse than the Knicks as far as futility. The Giants on the other hand are one of the better NY sports teams having won 4 Super Bowls.

EJ did not actually "place"Stefano in a position of power over his family,Stefano took a position of power over EJ and by extension Sami if she chooses to stay in the DiMera mansion with EJ and Stefano.

Did anybody find that clip where Jo and Steve talk about how she went back for Billy, or Jo talks to Jack about having gone back for him?
Surely a scene like that would be out there somewhere.
|Oct 6 2013, 08:59 PM Post #243
TFP, great stuff!
|Oct 6 2013, 09:02 PM Post #244
|I hope we get some Kayla/Adrienne scenes this week where they have to deal with old feelings.
|Oct 6 2013, 09:04 PM Post #245
I did some searching, here you go:
|Oct 6 2013, 09:18 PM Post #246
That was the night he was going to propose to Kayla!
I haven't watched that clip in so long. I didn't like it because Kayla didn't get her wish that night. Jack had his relapse, and Steve went into "save Jack no matter what!" mode.
|Oct 6 2013, 09:19 PM Post #247
So its Sami's fault that EJ kipnapped Sydney?
|Oct 6 2013, 09:25 PM Post #248
Yeah, that would bum me out like hell. But what would a soap be if there was no suffering, right?
|Oct 6 2013, 09:51 PM Post #249
I suffered too!
I feel my personal suffering should be noted. I mean, this was James Acheson's version of Jack, remember?
Not only was Kayla not getting her wish, Steve was giving her up for wooden Jack's sake!
|Oct 6 2013, 09:52 PM Post #250
Yep pretty much....he overheard Sami tell Rafe how she wished he was Sydney's father and then she time and time again shut EJ out of that little girls life in favor of the idiot unibrow.
EJ intended to take Syd and Johnny and leave the country, so Sami could not shut him out of his kids life.
So yeah, it is on some level Sami's fault that he kidnapped Sydney.
|Oct 6 2013, 10:19 PM Post #251
I always found interesting that both Steve and Kayla had a separate, ideal memory of Jack (or Billy) predating his introduction to the canvas; neither had actually had spent a whole lot of time with him beforehand (and Steve only had childhood memories of baby Billy), but show kept referencing back to those respective memories in contrast to his downward spiral of 1988. I feel like it made Kayla's forgiveness just a little more believable because she was shown to have actually liked Jack as a person once, and I thought including a backstory for them kept the story from being all about the brothers Johnson. You definitely saw her sacrifice her own feelings because of her love for Steve, but I think she ultimately forgave Jack for herself. That's just my take, anyway.
|Oct 6 2013, 10:22 PM Post #252
You know what's scary? Casey Moss sort of resembles James Acheson, ugh! lol.
|Oct 6 2013, 10:46 PM Post #253
Yeah, in our fangroup we already noticed that! It should be said that we've also noticed Casey Moss has improved since he started, which is great. I checked imdb.com, and Days is his first acting credit, unless imdb.com has it wrong.
|Oct 6 2013, 11:14 PM Post #254
All the above has been true with regards to couples, and I do think at some point they will break up Ejami.
What I don't think is that tptb will be given the freedom they had before to write such polarizing stories with regards to them.
It seems to me from all I've heard at events & what's been reported back is that tptb like the reception that Ejami has gotten.
I think it only makes sense that they break them up at some point, but I think it will be with the thought in mind that they will put them back together down the road.
I don't think they'll ever not have AS & JS in story together again, I think that's probably what the issue with the NBC people being more involved in their story is about more so than what the particular story is. They've determined that the response/ratings is better when they're in story together than when they put them completely in other characters orbits.
This is all just my take on the things.
|Oct 6 2013, 11:18 PM Post #255
I love all these conversations about Jack raping Kayla & Steve/Kayla & Adrienne.
This was probably my most favorite time to watch Days.
All the way thru Jack & Jennifer getting together... It was all so well written & acted.
It also makes me sad that the show now is nothing like it was then.
Everything flowed together & was woven in and out of each other.
It makes all these stories we're watching now seem so lacking.
|Oct 6 2013, 11:29 PM Post #256
I never saw Jack #1, but I remember thinking Jack #2 was as stiff as stone--and didn't look anything like Steve, yet they were supposed to be full brothers? Granted, MA doesn't resemble SN either, but even in his early days in the part, he left an impression other than "bland."
|Oct 6 2013, 11:30 PM Post #257
|But if COULD be said that he resembled Duke, at least his coloring was similar. Steve and Adrienne favored their mother, whereas Jack looked more like Duke.
|Oct 6 2013, 11:35 PM Post #258
You never watched the first Jack?
Joseph Adams. He was actually pretty good. Not a bad actor at all. He had the warmth and friendliness that Jack would have needed at that point...because when he came in, he screamed "good guy."
I didn't love his Jack, because he was an obstacle for Steve and Kayla, but if he hadn't been in the interloper role, I would've been fine with him. I didn't love Matt right away either...but he was SUCH an improvement over James Acheson's version that I had to appreciate him to some extent, even though Jack was so darn inconvenient to me as a Steve and Kayla fan, LOL!
While I was fine with Joseph Adams, I often wonder if he could have pulled it off when Jack turned darker. I don't know if he could have. Certainly not with the ease that Matthew showed.
|Oct 7 2013, 12:00 AM Post #259
Jack #1 was gone before I had the time to watch with any regularity, so Jack #2 was my introduction to the character ... and, yeah, seriously not good. I basically remember seeing him lying there in his white hospital gown looking way too healthy to be convincing as a dying man. And giving a performance that was both stiff and plastic--like watching a Ken doll try to act.
I wonder why they recast Jack #1 if he was doing an acceptable job. A different direction for the character, perhaps? I did hear a rumor that James Acheson was canned because he was a jerk to work with.
MA's Jack had a snotty, overprivileged edge to him practically from the word "go." He wasn't immediately likable, but he certainly wasn't dull. I'm still amazed they kept the character post-rape because violating a soap heroine is usually a fast ticket to the unemployment line, but I guess the regime back then saw something in the actor and the character that was worth developing. And I imagine it helped that MA apparently got along well with SN and MBE--in spite of playing their nemesis onscreen.

It's late and I'm hitting the sack, but I do want to respond to this tomorrow night after work.
Why must there be Mondays?
Well, maybe I'll be glad...if tomorrow brings a noteworthy scene for Mary Beth. Or Judi.

Less than a week after parting ways with the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions Tusker FC, the reigning KPL coach of the year Sammy Pamzo Omollo is back in the Kenyan top tier.
In training
The former Kenyan international defender has since his sacking been linked with Naivasha side Oserian FC and on Monday 20 August he reported to the team and is currently in training with the 16th placed team.
It is, however, not yet clear in which role he has been appointed to serve at the Flowermen but speculation is rife that he could take over as coach, with Peter Ogutu, who joined the club in the midseason transfer period serving as his assistant.
Technical Director's slot
On Saturday the club parted ways with its technical director Mr. Gilbert Selebwa and with the position vacant, a wild guess could also be that Pamzo might have been hired to fill in the slot.

Riverkeeper hosts a pipeline tour; protester threatens to block gas company earthmovers
The groups walked parts of the gas pipeline that were installed almost a year ago in November.
The controversial section of the pipeline near Milford is part of the TGP 300 Line Project, which will carry gas from the Marcellus shale gas fields in mid-Pennsylvania to markets in New Jersey and New York. TGP decided to avoid crossing the Delaware Water Gap National and Recreational Area, anticipating the park's opposition based on informal conversations with park officials.
Local residents near the site of the 7.1-mile cut on Cummins Hill Road have been protesting the project for months, holding public demonstrations to raise local awareness.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the Milford loop at the end of May but the Eastern Environmental Law Center, the Pike County commissioners, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, New Jersey Sierra Club and New Jersey Highlands Coalition are challenging the approval and have requested a rehearing.
"This pipeline project will have devastating impacts on the region and we need to work together to stop this new line from being built," said Kate Millsaps, conservation program coordinator for the New Jersey Sierra Club. "This line goes through some of our most environmentally sensitive areas to deliver gas to a region where demand for gas is dropping. This tour is an opportunity for concerned citizens and neighbors to learn more and will offer ways they can get involved in opposing and defeating the project in its entirety, because we do not need to expand this infrastructure to carry more gas produced through the dangerous technique called fracking."
TGP did not return a call for comment.
Another public tour is planned for November 11 at 10 a.m. Call 215/369-1188, ext. 102, for more information.

I want you to think about the following for a moment:
- The last tweet you sent.
- The last blog post you published.
- The last marketing email you sent.
- The last Facebook status update you posted.
First impressions count
Each of those actions could easily be someone's first exposure to you or your business. If so, it will help form their first impression of you. First impressions count… even if they are inaccurate. First impressions count, even if you are having a bad day.
First impressions count, because if you screw it up, you don't usually get a second chance!
Hit pause… and think
It pays to pause for a few moments before you publish anything. Think about the impression you are creating. Never underestimate the impact of an angry tweet, a needy Linkedin request or a spammy Facebook update, etc. Once it's published, it's out there. It's in play. It's carrying your name. It's carrying your reputation.

Hey Wanita
4 comments:
dont really like her music, but the i like the lyricsReplyDelete
I like Anggun and her songs.ReplyDelete
it's a shame to miss her concert in 2005, so I'm keeping my eyes for one anytime across the Channel :))
not a big fan of the song, but will be looking into the movie further.
I regret the lyrics are beyond me. But this lady has a sound which reminds of Carla Bruni and other (French)whispering singers - sweet and sensual.ReplyDelete
She has a good voice but the song could've been better. It didn't sound as touching if it was played on the radio.ReplyDelete
It was the video clip that made the music special.
Either way, the intention of the song as well as the lyric, was great :)
I wish more female musicians/singers would sing something like this, instead of parading this way and that singing about 'getting screwed from behind' or about 'playboys' ;)

BACKGROUND: In patients with medically refractory seizures, vagal nerve stimulation is becoming an increasingly common adjunctive therapy. Although its safety and efficacy have been proven in the general population, little is known about its use during pregnancy.
CASE: A 19-year-old primigravid woman presented during the first trimester for routine prenatal care. She had a past medical history significant for generalized tonic–clonic seizure disorder since childhood. Multiple medical regimens had failed, and a vagal nerve stimulator was implanted approximately 2 months before conception. The patient continued to take phenytoin, with improved seizure control. She had a term spontaneous delivery complicated by mild preeclampsia.
CONCLUSION: Adjunctive treatment of medically refractory seizures with a vagal nerve stimulator is a viable option during pregnancy.

Finra fines Goldman dark pool
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority levied an $800,000 fine on the execution and clearing unit of Goldman Sachs, related to pricing errors in the dark pool trading unit over an eight-day period in 2011.
According to Finra, Goldman failed to have reasonably designed written policies and procedures in place to prevent such trade-throughs of protected quotations in connection with trading in its proprietary alternative trading system, Sigma-X.
Goldman Sachs was unaware of the pricing errors, according to Finra, and the trade-throughs were caused by market data latencies at Sigma-X.
Goldman's dark pool, Sigma X, has been one of Wall Street's biggest private venues. But in recent years, the platform lost market share as other firms beefed up their technology investments in their own venues.
Finra found that from July 29, 2011, through Aug. 9, 2011, there were more than 395,000 transactions executed in the Sigma-X alternative trading system, where some trades were at a price inferior to the national best bid and offer, or NBBO, which refers to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule meant to ensure investors receive the best national bid and offer prices. Goldman Sachs returned $1.67 million to impacted customers, Finra said.
In settling the matter, Goldman Sachs neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of Finra's findings.
A Goldman spokeswoman declined to comment.

Serena Williams was unstoppable on the red clay at Roland Garros, winning the 2013 French Open in impressive fashion. The scary thing about her performance in France is that clay is her worst surface, as noted by Ben Rothenberg of The New York Times, who marveled at her perfect record on clay in 2013:
Serena Williams just went 23-0 this year on clay, her worst surface by far. Can't recall anyone else doing anything like that, ever. #rg13— Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) June 8, 2013
Williams is superb on grass, and it's going to take nothing less than a miracle for someone to beat her at the All England Club in London.
The younger Williams sister is on a legendary tear right now.
She famously lost in the first round of the French Open last summer to Virginie Razzano—an embarrassing loss and her first (and only) first-round loss in a Grand Slam event.
But the loss was a salient moment in Williams' career. Since that time, she's compiled an otherworldly record of 74-3—her last loss coming when she withdrew from the Dubai Championships in mid-February with a back injury.
Since February, Williams has been flawless, compiling a record of 31-0, as noted by Tennis.com:
Serena Williams has won 31 straight matches; Rafael Nadal has won 22 in a row. Can anyone stop them at Wimbledon? http://t.co/meCfUVTAKT— TENNIS.com (@tennis) June 10, 2013
The answer to Tennis.com's question, as far as Williams is concerned, is an emphatic "No!"
Nobody's capable of stopping her on grass surfaces when she is at the top of her game.
A five-time champion at Wimbledon, Williams has won a title in London three times in the last four years.
Furthermore, Williams is playing with a renewed passion and fervor these days, and her form is perhaps as good, if not better, than she's ever shown.
Just one day removed from her second career victory at Roland Garros, Williams was already looking ahead to Wimbledon. She spoke with USA Today Sports' Douglas Robson, who visited her in her home in Paris:
I feel like my career is almost beginning again or something. I'm already focused on Wimbledon...I'm playing better. I'm working harder. I'm doing more things. And I feel like I deserve to win because I'm honestly working very hard.
Williams' hard work is paying off right now.
She is in phenomenal physical condition, and her game is honed to a razor's edge.
Serena will _____ at the 2013 Wimbledon Championship.
A powerful server who hits the ball harder than any other woman on tour, Williams' game is suited to the speed of grass surfaces. She will plow through her competition in the early rounds at the All England Club in even more impressive fashion than she did at Roland Garros.
At this point, it seems as if the only person who can stop Williams is Williams herself.
Judging by recent history, that's not an outcome anyone should expect.
Williams will claim her 17th Grand Slam victory by winning the Venus Rosewater Dish at Wimbledon this summer.

We are a Bible believing pentecostal church that was established over 45 years ago by Rev. Kirk Powers and his wife Rayetta. In 1991 his son, Bro. Keith Powers and wife Becky left the evangelistic field and moved to Virginia to become the current Pastor.
We are involved in many different types of outreach in our local area and around the world. Our bus ministry travels in many directions to pick up and bring children to church every Sunday to teach them about the goodness of God.
We have been involved with mission work in Tanzania, Africa for the last 9 years and during that time built several churches and opened Safe Haven Orphanage which currently is home for over 50 children.
Please spend some time exploring our site and seeing what the Lord has helped us to accomplish for His kingdom. Many sermons that Bro. Powers has preached are available to listen to online in the sermons section and much more information about our mission work is also online.
If you live in the area or are visiting on vacation we invite you to join us for Sunday morning, Sunday night or Wednesday night service. If you have any questions about our church or the work that we are involved in please contact us by mail, telephone or by email. We look forward to hearing from you or having you visit us soon.
