Boomer Consulting provides an online system for self improvement for use by firms as well as individuals. The learning system integrates the BPA360 survey
with a self-coaching online classroom. The BPA360 provides a starting point for change based on detailed anonymous feedback from peers and associates.
The online classroom then provides structured lessons based on the detailed feedback profile. This combination of detailed feedback and action-oriented
lessons creates a powerful tool for personal change.
The learning system can benefit firms as a stand-alone addition to existing professional development course offerings. It can also be incorporated into
existing leadership development and communication skills curricula. Individuals can use the learning system on their own initiative to improve their own
skills. Work teams can use the system together to improve team communication and effectiveness.
The BPA360 targets eleven critical behavior areas including: verbal and non-verbal communication, conflict resolution, leadership skills, listening skills,
teamwork skills, goal orientation, and decisionmaking skills. The feedback profile is compiled using anonymous surveys that give your staff member direct
feedback from their peers. This information leaves you the supervisor or mentor in a position to guide and direct. This tool also includes a self survey.
At a glance the staff member can compare how he/she perceives themselves to how others perceive them. The action-oriented lessons help learners consciously
apply new behaviors in future situations.
As a leader in the firm, you know the benefit of receiving detailed feedback as a starting point for change. You also know the benefit of placing skill
development in actual contexts experienced by the staff member. This online system provides a detailed feedback profile, a coaching plan and action oriented
lessons for your staff member. It can also be integrated into your current leadership or mentoring development programs.
Reinforce workplace culture. The act of completing the assessments reinforces that the included behaviors are important in the firm. The structured feedback
and Work My Plan also give team members the language to communicate within that culture – "Wait, I just hijacked the conversation. I apologize. Now, Jerri
you were describing ideas you had for new components."
Leaders of the firm and mentors love the fact that using BPA360 feedback removes them from the awkward position of being both a critic and coach. The
feedback is less threatening when it is in aggregate and anonymous. Also, people tend to be less defensive once they understand that the feedback is a
matter of how they are perceived not how they desire or intend to be.
Ever find yourself repeating the same frustrating scenario with the same person? Interactions tend to be consistent unless behavior changes. Interpersonal
skills are the keys. Doesn't matter whether the frustrating interaction you're repeating is with a family member, a colleague, or your boss. You can send
that interaction on a completely different trajectory by learning your hooks, cues, and a replacement behavior skill.
Five Benefits of Using an Online System to improve your interpersonal skills:
Learn how you are perceived.
People notice your interpersonal skills. People who regularly interact with you know your strengths. They know your weaknesses. They probably even talk
about your strengths and weaknesses – to each other. Using an online assessment system can bring you in the loop.
Anonymous feedback using a 360 assessment allows the people around you to provide the honest feedback you need to improve your interpersonal skills. Select
5-10 people in your circle. The system will email each person you selected. They simply click on a link and take a few minutes to complete a survey about
how they perceive interacting with you.
Each individual's feedback remains anonymous. The system will aggregate the feedback before creating a detailed feedback profile and your plan for personal
improvement. You will also complete a self-assessment. At a glance you will be able to compare how you rated yourself with how others rated you across
eleven critical interpersonal skills.
Feedback on what you can control – behaviors.
The BPA360 targets eleven critical behavior areas including: verbal and non-verbal communication, conflict resolution, leadership skills, listening skills,
teamwork skills, goal orientation, and decision-making skills. You can leverage the power of the system regardless of whether people around you perceive
your various interpersonal skills as strengths or weaknesses. Your strengths have likely gotten you this far, so you'll want to continue to develop those
areas. Any perceived weaknesses may be holding you back in your career or in your personal relationships, so you'll also want to target those areas for
Work My Plan tells you where to start.
Effective personal change requires a clear knowledge of the starting point. Your feedback simply lets you know how you are perceived. It is not about
how smart you are or nice you intend to be. It is simply about perception. The only way to change how you are perceived is to act contrary to the perception.
For that you need Work My Plan.
Based on your personal feedback profile, Work My Plan identifies the skills that people around you perceive as strengths. In fact, some of your skills
may be so well developed that the system identifies them as mastery skills. Work My Plan also identifies any skills perceived as weaknesses. While you
may not be able to turn these into mastery skills, you can improve and reduce the self-limiting effect of any underdeveloped skills.
lessons are the keys. Work My Plan addresses skill improvement in the actual contexts you experience. Find yourself repeating the same scenario with the
same person at work or at home? Work My Plan helps you learn replacement behaviors to apply in the exact situations you wish to affect.
Enjoy a flexible learning schedule.
Your interpersonal skills development program is accessible from any internet connection. Your personal feedback and your action-oriented lessons are
securely stored on our server. You can review your feedback. You can begin a new lesson any time. You can pick up where you left off with an in-process
lesson. Each lesson is targeted. So you're not reading an entire book or even a chapter before you starting improving. Even from a handheld device, if
you can access the internet and have a few minutes to spare, then you can immediately jump on an action-oriented lesson and target the skill you wish
to develop.
Interpersonal skills count.
Core skills in your field are critical. Yet often it is the complementary interpersonal skills that allow you to effectively leverage your core skills.
Your reputation among your colleagues, your effectiveness as a leader, and your competitiveness for advancement are all directly influenced by your interpersonal
Knowing where you need to make adjustments in your verbal and non-verbal communication will help you improve your relationship and career success. You
can start learning about the adjustments you need to make and see how changing your behavior can improve your relationships and your career. Your friends
will notice, your boss will notice, YOU will notice.
Benefits of Using an Online System to improve interpersonal skills:
Interpersonal skills count.
Obviously core skills in your field are essential. Yet often it is the complementary interpersonal skills that determine how effectively members of your
firm leverage their core skills to work as a team. The effectiveness of your leaders and the reputation of your firm among your clients are directly influenced
by the interpersonal skills of the members.
Prepare tomorrow's leaders today.
Senior managers have benefited from using 360 assessments for years. Now online delivery makes it affordable to provide the same kind of transformative
leadership development experience to every person in your firm.
Powerful learning. Flexible schedule.
The online classroom allows individuals to fit the learning sessions into their own schedule. Personal feedback and action-oriented lessons are securely
stored on our server. Individuals can begin a new lesson at any time. Each lesson is targeted. Even from a handheld device, with internet access and a
few minutes to spare, you can immediately jump on an action-oriented lesson and target the skill you wish to develop.
Feedback on what counts – behaviors.
The BPA360 targets eleven critical behavior areas including: verbal and non-verbal communication, conflict resolution, leadership skills, listening skills,
teamwork skills, goal orientation, and decision-making skills. The action-oriented lessons provide a plan for improving your interpersonal skills. You
can leverage the power of the system regardless of whether people around you perceive your various interpersonal skills as strengths or weaknesses.
You may have heard this before, but all progress really does begin with the truth. The truth in the BPA360 will help you see what others think about your
interpersonal skills within the workplace. That "truth" will be a catalyst to increasing your worth at the firm. – Boomer Consulting, Inc.
Why be the last to know? The people around you notice your interpersonal skills, and they talk about you….to each other. Get yourself in the loop. Use
the BPA360 to learn what they are saying about you.

Pest Management in Cashew
Management of Tea Mosquito Bug
(a) Cashew tree looks like blighted. What disease is this and how to control it?
(b) What is the reason for and how to control the blight disease in which the twigs of cashew dry?
The blighted appearance and burnt symptoms with drying of cashew leaves is due to feeding damage by the tea mosquito bug (TMB) Helopeltis antonii, and is not a disease symptom. The adult and young insects (nymphs) suck the plant sap , and the toxic saliva infected by the insect leads to drying of the damaged portion. As the insect feeds on tender shoots, flower panicle as well as immature nuts, these parts get dried up.The repeated flushes are re-attacked and these also get dried up. Any spraying taken up after severe feeding damage will not be of any help and hence drying of flower panicles/twigs occur in spite of spraying.
(a) As per our experience, cashew inflorescence dries in case there is cloudy weather for 2-3 days. Is this due to TMB damage or due to weather itself? How can we prevent the damage or at least limit the damage?
(b) Is there any relation between cloudy weather and TMB population build up?
The inflorescence drying during cloudy weather has been constantly noticed, however, the sudden rise in temperature following cloudiness is suspected to lead to flower drying. The TMB population build up is also more under these conditions.
(a) What are the non-chemical methods of TMB control?
(b) What are the bio-pesticides that can be used for TMB control?
It is presently debated whether pesticidal usage can be reduced in TMB management. However, in trials involving different bio-pesticides (derived from neem, pongamia, dill, custard apple and others plant species), the presently recommended pesticides performed better. Use of neem oil in place of a pesticide may not provide immediate pest reduction and repellency is not long lasting.

Does Toys R Us have a policy that says you can return items after "like 3-4 months"? I've never heard of a retailer that accepts returns after that length of time. If the store indeed has this kind of a policy, you should probably post it as part of your report.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Einstein would have been a giant of the twitterverse. Brevity is the soul of t-wit, and you can't get more super-saturated with meaning than "E=mc2". Then there are poetic bon mots such as: "I live my daydreams in music" and "imagination is more important than knowledge". He backed that one up with scientific evidence, changing knowledge by imagining he was travelling on a train at the speed of light.
His twitter mates would have egged him on; in rehearsal, composer Fritz Kreisler once told him: "The trouble with you, Mr Einstein, is that you can't count."
Those quotes are taken from the excellent programme notes for last Monday's candidate for cutest event of the year, hosted by the Royal Society of New Zealand and Chamber Music New Zealand. It was an illustrated and musical talk about Einstein's life and legacy, followed by a piano-and-strings concert of Einstein-related music. (The best brain of the 20th century loved the mathematical complexity of Mozart and Bach, and claimed music gave him the most joy in life.)
The talk was presented by Oxford's Professor Brian Foster, European director for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Foster gave an entertaining lecture, complete with balloon prop, interspersed by music from award-winning British violinist Jack Liebeck. Yes, one of the head honchos of the world's most expensive experiment is giving basic information to the general public when he could be sunning himself in Spain. It must be love - of Einstein, more likely, than of our wintry weather.
But wait, there's more: Foster and Liebeck performed a violin duet, the physicist and the virtuoso, just as Einstein liked to do with Kreisler (and other indulgent musicians). With one player slightly out of tune and rhythmically erratic, the piece sounded ... endearing.
Apparently Einstein's own playing wasn't too shabby; a scientifically ignorant music critic once wrote: "Einstein plays excellently. However, his worldwide fame is undeserved. There are many violinists who are just as good."
But let's face it, we were there for news of the LHC as much as for Einstein, and Foster skipped merrily across the dots that connect the two: Our Very Own Ernest Rutherford was a tall and jovial figure, often in danger of upsetting his students' delicate experiments with booming laughter. A Time magazine cover once echoed Einstein's white hair with a mushroom cloud - one of the pacifist's other legacies.
The slides were too small but a cross-section of one of the LHC's gigantic experimental chambers, Atlas, looked like an eye, bloodshot with traces of particle collisions. A blip on a graph showed us the growing statistical evidence that the LHC has found the Higgs boson.
The concert afterwards included a specially commissioned piece by Samuel Holloway who, in spite of his 17th century-style name, was born in Pukekohe in 1981. Holloway's Matter was inspired by the magnitudes of physics (from the mass-less to the massive). Compared to the smooth phrases of the concert's Mozart and Brahms pieces, each piano note in Matter seemed separated, like the bright particle bursts we'd seen earlier. Stars shrunk to a sub-atomic scale.

Surprisingly good product
Reviewer2937616님께서 1 15, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다. | 실제 주문자가 작성한 글
I shopped around online for a multi-function pre and probiotic and decided to try this one. I've been using it once daily now for about three weeks and I'm amazed in a very satisfied way how well this product works. I digest things better, have less gas and bloating, and more healthy daily movements. I will be ordering this again!
Great digestive enzyme

The price and the quality seem top notch. I had my gallbladder out in 2007 and if I forget to take one with a meal, I can feel a big difference. I recommend this one, and I have tried many.
Works Great

I had not found another enzyme that worked as well as Garden of Life Omega-Zyme. However, this product works just as well for me and is much less expensive.
Great Product
Reviewer1688212님께서 4 23, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다. | 실제 주문자가 작성한 글
Not as high in probiotic as I would like but feel great after a month of taking them. (made me a little sick for the first two weeks) Bloating is gone and stomach is stronger... didn't get sick while I was out of the country! The weight loss was an unexpected benefit!
Great for my GERD
Reviewer2881952님께서 2 07, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다. | 실제 주문자가 작성한 글
I started taking this once a day pre/probiotic as a way to recolonize my gut as a way to control my quite serious GERD, and it seems to be working. Now instead of twice a day strong prescription GERD meds, I only take those meds when I have occasional acid breakthrough. I think this product is great and much more affordable than my prescription. I highly recommend it.
Rainbow Light, advanced Enzyme Optima

I like this product very much. I had been using the straight enzymes by Rainbow already, but this one gives added help it seems, and it is nice to have two in one with the probiotics.
Very happy

I never used to think that I had a digestive issue until I tried these. Just speaking for myself though - I started to have regular bowel movements, I ate less overall without even trying, my food cravings went down significantly and I feel healthier overall, more energy and all. For the dosage, I think it's better for you to start with one a day (mealtime) for a few days. I take these capsules with lunch and/or dinner.
Love Rainbow Light products

I have noticed my skin looks very good.

Very pleased with this product. Tried for the first time while living abroad...helps with digesting after meals, especially if garlic or other foods would normally make someone gassy. A must for anyone who wants to optimize digestion and uptake of nutrients from food. Light and minty taste residue from caps.

The inaugural Links for Lupus Golf Tournament commenced in September of 2000 on a green in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded by our family and late father Bill Little, Links for Lupus has been helping raise money for the Lupus Foundation of America, North Carolina Chapter (LFANC) because lupus has touched our family personally with the diagnosis of two of our sisters. This is our father's legacy. The firm he helped found, Little Diversified Architectural Consulting (Little), has been our partner from inception, helping us raise more than more than a half million dollars for the LFANC. With these funds, the LFANC has helped advance the science and medicine of lupus to ultimately find a cure and improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus.
Lupus is one of the cruelest, most mysterious diseases on earth--it strikes without warning, has unpredictable, sometimes fatal effects, lasts a lifetime, and has no known cause and no known cure. It is more pervasive than people think, and impacts people on a scale that the public does not realize. People like you are now becoming aware of how urgently resources are needed to fight lupus, and to help those who suffer from it. If you join the fight, we will not have to concede victory to this terrible disease. If you join the fight, we will be able to solve the cruel mystery of lupus in our lifetime and end its devastating impact on millions of lives.
The LFANC envisions a world without lupus, and with your help, we will continue to help further that mission. If you aren't able join us this year, please consider helping us improve the lives of those who are affected by lupus in one of the following ways:
• Making a special Links for Lupus Gift to the LFA.
• Donating a raffle or silent auction prize.
Please remember that we have a limited number of spaces and sponsorship packages, so sign up as soon as possible. To reserve your sponsorship package, please register by Friday, September 9, 2016.

How to Properly Document Your Projects
Accurate recordkeeping is essential to be successful in any business enterprise, but for fire systems contractors it could be a matter of life or death. Brush up on the requirements and catch up on new additions to NFPA 72's Documentation specifications.
By Shane Clary · April 30, 2013
Previously, we have discussed a number of changes that have been made to the 2013 edition of NFPA 72, The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. While that discourse briefly dipped into the new chapter on documentation, I believe greater detail covering the requirements found in Chapter 7, Documentation, will prove valuable for fire/life-safety professionals.
For a number of editions of NFPA 72, documentation was found within the Fundamentals chapter. For the 2013 edition it was the feeling of many, including the chair of the Technical Correlating Committee, Robert Schifiliti, P.E., that documentation should be addressed in a separate chapter. This provides a single source for all documentation within NFPA 72 (see sidebar for a list of sections within Chapter 7). Following are some of the most critical aspects with which to be familiarized.
14 Points Address Applications
Within the section on Application, the most important statement within this chapter is found within 7.1.3:
Where required by governing laws, codes, or standards, or other parts of this Code, the requirements of this chapter, or portions thereof, shall apply.
This statement makes it clear that the requirements found in Chapter 7 only apply if they are required by codes or standards or by other sections within 72. They are also the minimum requirements. Depending on the system being installed or documented, the actual requirements for the documentation may be very minimal, or they could be very broad. Being the minimum requirements, an owner, project engineer or others may require more than what is found within Chapter 7.
Section 7.2 specifies the Minimum Required Documentation. Within the Annex it is stated that not every item found within Chapter 7 is required for every project. The minimum requirements for any project are the following:
(1) Written narrative providing intent and system description
(2) Riser diagram
(3) Floor plan layout showing location of all devices and control equipment
(4) Sequence of operation in either an input/output matrix or narrative form
(5) Equipment technical data sheets
(6) Manufacturers published instructions, including operation and maintenance instructions
(7) Battery calculations (where batteries are provided)
(8) Voltage drop calculations for notification appliance circuits
(9) Completed record of inspection and testing
(10) Completed record of completion
(11) Copy of site-specific software, where applicable
(12) Record (as-built) drawings
(13) Periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance documentation
(14) Records, record retention and record maintenance
Items 1-8 would be part of the shop drawings. Items 9-12 would be provided at the conclusion of the project. The final two items are for the duration of the system.
Additional minimum requirements are that the designer of the system be identified on the drawings and that the symbols found within NFPA 170, Standard for Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols or as permitted by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), be used.
Depending on the type of system or devices and appliances that are to be used, the requirements in Section 7.3, Design (Layout) Documentation, may come into play. The terms "design" and "layout" should also be noted. This has been a debate within NFPA 72 for a number of years. Technically, only a professional engineer designs. Technologists then perform the layout of the system based on the design. In those states that have a contractor exception this can become a little muddy.

We just stay one night, and we have only positiv things to tell about this place, thank you.
Best regards from Geir and Aleksandra.
We had a wonderfull stay in this beautiful appertment. We arrived on sabat (saturday) and the owner arranged something so that we were able to use the appertment. It takes +/- 25 minutes walking to the old city (which is really beautiful!). The appertment was very clean and located in a nice neighboorhood.
The apartment is very nice, especially the location. Had just been repaired the clogged sink.
Die Wohnung ist ganz nett, vor allem die Lage. Wäre bloß das verstopfte Waschbecken repariert worden.
small apartment but well done and pleasant room, nickel bath, there were problems in wifi but the owner responded quickly. Very serious and professional people.
appartement petit mais bien fait et agréable, salle de bain nickel, il y a eu in problème de wifi mais le propriétaire est intervenu rapidement. Personnes très sérieuses et professionnelles.
Great location but the accommodation is really too small for four people! Unthinkable be able to cook something, even breakfast. Linen very worn and not very clean.
Ottima posizione, ma l'alloggio è veramente troppo piccolo per quattro persone! Impensabile poter cucinare qualcosa, neanche la colazione. Biancheria molto consumata e non molto pulita.
Great central location with clean rooms and toilet. The kitchenette however had a funny smell to it. But other than that it was a great stay :)
Very nice and tidy place. Perfect location in the Kazimierz district. I will come back.
sober and tidy apartment, cramped space and we had found it neat to know in advance that should be. kitchen and bathroom / WC with multiple tenants used
Also, the minimum comfort (two keepnet)
The entrance is miserable dark paintless but schoon.Zes stairs which was also not known.
The parking is rough it on public roads for the property, at least if you're lucky a place is still available.
Altogether meager.
Parking on the road for
sober en netjes appartement, krappe ruimte en we hadden het wel netjes gevonden om vooraf te weten dat keuken en badkamer/toilet met meerdere huurders gebruikt moeten worden.
Ook is het zitcomfort minimaal (twee zitkisten)
De entree is miserabel donker verveloos maar wel schoon.Zes trappen op wat ook niet bekend was.
Het parkeren is behelpen, op de openbare weg voor het pand, tenminste als je geluk hebt dat er nog een plekje vrij is.
Al met al magertjes.
Parkeergelegenheid op de openbare weg voor
Great location, great rooms, great refund the kitchen and bathroom! But be careful. Is in description: "Additionally available is a large kitchen and a bathroom with one other room shared". This means that if you have booked a room, there's a danger that foreign guests share in another room, the kitchen and a small bathroom with you. On this occasion, the host requires an additional payment on the spot for the second room or, allegedly, for the posting block with reason: "That makes you but not from you but are the rich German". But perhaps part of the way to deal Viertelsflöres? ;-)
Tolle Lage, tolle Zimmer, tolle Erstattung der Küche und Badezimmer! Aber seien Sie vorsichtig. In Beschreibung steht: "Zusätzlich erhältliche eine große Küche und ein Bad mit einem anderen Zimmer geteilt". Das bedeutet, wenn Sie nur ein Zimmer gebucht haben, gibt's Gefahr, dass fremde Gäste in einem anderen Zimmer die Küche und das kleine Badzimmer mit Ihnen teilen. Aus diesem Anlass verlangt der Gastgeber vor Ort eine Zuzahlung für das zweite Zimmer oder, angeblich, für die Buchungssperre mit Begründung: "Das macht es Ihnen doch nicht aus, Sie sind doch die reichen Deutsche". Aber vielleicht gehört die Umgehensweise des Viertelsflöres? ;-)
The appartment was very nice and renovated. When I was here, the front door and staircase were horrible. So I was really afraid the room would look the same. But that was the complete opposite. The owner said that the front door and staircase would be renovated soon so for the next visitors I hope it's done.

Love it
Great for getting a longer wear on ostomy apparatus.

Good product
This product works very well in adhering stomach or fistula bag wafers to skin. It works best on flat skin areas but the bag wafer sides can sometimes be sprayed again if necessary to stop leaks. I would recommend it, especially for patients having difficulty with bag adherence.

I see. Well now I cannot think of much else to ask for :)). I thought
that the results with "stratified" bootstrap would work towards
producing smaller standard errors, but they did not seem to. They are
about the same as before.
One can argue that there is still an underlying quality of the
vehicle... and there is some room for measurement error with that
5% of 465 observations is 25... which is dangerously close to the 17
d.f.s you have. So perfect separation is a clear possibility for some
bootstrap samples.

Gluten Free Bakery Options Come to Kennebunkport Maine
Kennebunkport Maine restaurants have done a great job jumping on the gluten free bandwagon, but the coffee shops and bakeries have been slow to meet the demand. Earlier this year, Mornings in Paris, an "old world" style coffee shop located in the heart of the Old Port of Portland, opened a new location here in Kennebunkport Maine. They've brought a tremendous assortment of teas and coffee varieties, great WiFi (for free), and delicious treats to town. But since the Maine Stay… Read More

Read my review - 5/5 stars
When everyone in the group was up on the camels they handlers started leading the camels along a trail taking us out into the desert. Once we got further in, most of the handlers stopped the camels and made them sit down, so that they could hop on and ride behind us. After a few minutes of walking we suddenly started trotting and I am so glad Amanda gave us the sports bra pre-warning. Camels can go fast and there movements are quite jarring, even when walking. They would stop the camels from trotting when navigating up and down hills but aside from that it was a jostle of a ride that we weren't mentally prepared for. Going downhill while on a camel is another strange sensation as you feel like you could literally fall off head over heels. After about and a half hour of trotting we arrived basically in the middle of nowhere in the desert and were told to get off. Very quickly the handlers turned around and trotted back. We learned from Amanda later that the reason they were trotting was because they wanted to quickly drop us off so they could go back and get another group for a sunset safari. After standing around for a while one of the guys who would be taking care of us overnight in the desert pointed aimlessly in a direction and said we would be camping over there. Wandering about 700m up and down a couple of sand dunes we found our camp site for the night
By then the jeeps had arrived with our overnight bags, sleeping mats, blankets and most importantly beers. Grabbing a beer we walked back up to the top of the dune to sit and watch the sunset as more camels walked by and witnessed Flappy enjoying a sand bath. Unfortunately wild dogs found us out so had to chase them away for Flappy's sake.
After the sun went down we went back to camp were they set up the mats and blankets in a semi-circle and served chai masala and biscuits and enjoyed some live Indian music and dancing from 4 musicians and 2 dancers; one being a hijras; look like a transvestite and are accepted as a transitional third sex between male and female. Pukka hijras are born with genitals that are neither fully male nor female while eunuchs are those who undergo castration to become hijras. They put on a really good show and of course when asked I got up and danced. Good times. A delicious dinner followed with traditional Indian fare and our first time with no utensils. Some of the group either was prepared or happened to have a spork in their bag; the rest of us did as the locals do and eat with our fingers. I think eating with my fingers it made it more delicious or maybe it was eating with my fingers in the middle of the desert under a full moon
The rest of the night was spent sitting around the campfire talking and some people playing games. Most scattered away and went to bed fairly early but for those that know me won't be surprised that I was one of the last to go to bed which meant a primo spot by the campfire. I was worried about it being really cold at night in the desert but with the blankets supplied, my sleeping bag and beanie I was quite warm until the wee hours of the morning when the wind picked up. However there is nothing like sleeping outside; I'd say under the stars but there was few due to the full moon. Still, as I was lying on my back looking up at the sky I saw an amazing shooting star.
Sleeping by the campfire had its other advantages as those that did, were able to have chai masala in bed while we watched the sunrise and waited for breakfast; boiled eggs, toast and fruit. After packing up our stuff our 19 camels came around the dune to pick us up and take us on a longer, gentler safari then the previous day. I was chosen by a different boy (the one who was riding in front of me yesterday) and was lead to his camel. This time I got the camel's name, Raj and the boy's name was Garaj (I think) and he was six years old
We came across this tree with a big fence around it and all of us who were trotting stopped and our handlers (3 boys and 1 man) jumped off the camels to make a beeline for this tree. The boys hopped the fence and the man was firing directions with the sole purpose of gathering a fruit that was the size of a cherry but yellow in colour and was sour but they said was sweet. They shared with us but could tell they were happy when after trying one or two we declined on having more. They clearly enjoyed them more then we were.
Arriving back on the main road after about 2 hours it was time to say goodbye to our camels and friend and head back to Jaislamer in the jeeps. About half way back we were stopped by the police because apparently the "big man" (never found out who this really was) was going to be travelling through. So all vehicles were stopped in both directions but after about 5 mins., everyone stopped decided just to take off again
Back in Jaislamer after warm showers, Zoe and I went out to check out the fort that dominates the town as it 100m above the new part of town. Approximate 2,000 people still live within the fort walls catering mostly to tourism in the forms of shops and restaurants. Inside it is an amazing maze of small narrow winding streets that often took us to a dead end or someone's front door. . For lunch we enjoyed a pizza on a rooftop patio having a desert view on one side and the Jain temples on the other. As we wandered through the streets after lunch, we meet a few nice shop owner's, one who focuses on promoting and selling crafts made by Rajasthani women and another who does great paintings on t-shirts from which I bought a Ganesh t-shirt and ad him sign it. Finally being able to find our way out of the fort we headed over to the area where we were going to meet the group for dinner. Being pulled into a few shops along the way we made it close before we got the "Remember me?" line from a shopkeeper

What did Auto Zone do?? I haven't heard anything. What did I miss?
VCDL will hold a protest at 3 different Autozone locations in the next couple of weeks: Yorktown, Colonial Heights (regional manager's location), and Hopewell. VCDL will get some signs printed up for protesters to hold while standing in front of the stores. Our goal will be to inform the public about Autozone's shameful treatment of a hero, putting policy before the safety of customers and workers.

AutoZone Fires Worker Who Stopped Robbery
Dec 4, 2012
By Todd Starnes
An AutoZone worker who stopped an armed robbery by retrieving a weapon from his truck said he was fired by the company for violating their gun policy.
Devin McClean and his store manager were about to close the AutoZone in York County, Va. when a gunman barged into the store.
"He pulled a gun from his waist band and demanded me and my manager go back into the office," McClean told Fox News.
At some point, McClean was left in a restroom while the gunman made the manager open the store safe. That's when McClean, a 23-year-old Air Force veteran, bolted through a side door and ran to his truck.
He returned through the front door holding a Glock 40 – pointed directly at the masked robber.
"I told him to freeze and to drop his weapon," McClean told Fox News.
Instead, the robber took off – last seen running down the street from the store.
"I watched him run down the street," he said. "I came back inside and made sure my manager was okay and he called the police."
The York County Sheriff's Dept. believes the bandit is responsible for as many as 30 robberies across the region.
"One of the officers asked why I didn't shoot the robber," McClean said.
Sheriff J.D. Diggs told Fox News he considers McClean to be a hero.
"He did a very brave thing," the sheriff said. "He put himself in jeopardy in an attempt to make sure his friend was safe. He did a very brave thing."
The part-time worker's manager was especially thankful and credited McClean with saving his life.
But two days after the robbery – and just a week before Thanksgiving – McClean was fired.
Television station WTKR reported that McClean violated corporate policy by leaving the store and returning with a weapon.
The station spoke to a representative from the company's corporate office who said they had a "zero tolerance policy for employees having weapons inside the store."
An AutoZone spokesman told Fox News they will not discuss the matter.
"It was a surprise to me," McClean said. "I did the right thing. I saved the company $2,000. I saved one of their manager's lives – and you're letting me go? It was a slap in the face."
McClean said the firing came at a difficult time. He's about to be a first-time father.
"We're having a little boy," he said. "I remember when the guy came in with that gun. My initial thought was I want to make it home to my family. I want to have the opportunity to meet my son and for my son to meet his dad. And for someone to come in and shove a gun in your face?"
So why not just keep running? Why go back inside the store – and risk your own life?
"I regard them as my family," McClean said of his co-workers. "You're not going to leave your brother or sister behind."
It's a lesson he learned in the Air Force.
"Never leave a man behind," he said. "I'm not going to leave my brother in a room with a guy with a gun – that's threatening his life."
In spite of losing his job, McClean said his actions would be the same if it happened again.
"I wouldn't change anything," he said.
The sheriff said he was disappointed to hear that McClean lost his job on account of stopping the robbery.
"That's certainly unfortunate," he said. "They should be doing something to reward that young man instead of firing him."
Sheriff Diggs said AutoZone has also sent an unintended message to the community.
"The company has now sent a message to every would-be robber out there – 'Hey we're open for business and unarmed. Come on in and take our money,'" he said.
Meanwhile, the backlash against AutoZone is spreading. Customers have launched a boycott against the company on Facebook and a petition has been started urging them to rehire McClean.
"There's a Pep Boys right around the corner," one irate customer wrote on Facebook.
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
Well, just another reason not to like AutoZone. I prefer O'Reilly's and a local business called Weaver Auto Parts anyways.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
He was interviewed last night on Gretta Vansustren's show on Fox News Channel. He lives out in New Hampton, VA I believe is what he said. Fox News reached out to anybody in the area who was hiring to look into hiring him. Hopefully it works out and he get's an even better paying job.
This is a sad story really. Fire a guy when he's expecting a child and right before X-mas after he saved the life of his manager and saved the money in the safe for the company because it violates a policy. I definitely think some things could have been overlooked. I'm glad I support local businesses that sell auto parts anyway. Yeah they cost a little more, but I bet they would have promoted the guy for doing something like this.

Bs. People meed to stand up an say enough of this crap. Some one needs to hire this Brave man. He could have ran away but instead risked his life to save a con worker.
What a P.O.S thing to do. Many years ago when I worked at a gas station, Amoco Oil had the same kind of policy. The franchisee/owner of my particular location did not enforce this rule however, and any of us who worked nights carried concealed on the premises. I never used AutoZone anyway, but it's just one more reason not to give them my money.

There is no way id work a gas station, deliver pizza, work any store at night alone, with out protection.

the game we just can't wait for is Duke Nukem: Buff and Buffer.
Yes it's true, you'll finally get to play as Duke Nukem in his full,
rugged, naked glory. Run, jump, shoot, and kill as Duke shows off his
rippling muscles and other 'manly attributes.' Look for the release
of Buff and Buffer on April 1, 2001.
P.S. The article you read
was an April Fool's joke by that magazine. It is not a real game. The
stuff about the new Duke Nukem game is absolutely true, though.

Subject: A question About Tomb Raider 4
Hi, my name is Tom Ellwanger I'm 14 jears old and I'm from Holland
I'm crazy about Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3 and 4 but I have got a question
about Tomb Raider 4
Is lara Croft really dead Because I have just finisht Tomb Raider 4
and at the end secuence the Temple Craches in can you tell me if she
is Really dead and if there will be an other Tomb Raider To come in
November or December.
Thank You: Tom Ellwanger
Lara will never die. Seriously,
she's like the Terminator. We know this for a fact because we've been
trying to kill her for a good, solid year.
First, we doused her in gasoline
and set her aflame. Nope. Then we dropped a safe on her head, but she
protected herself with a little umbrella. We tried drowning her, beating
her with a broomstick, and even the good old-fashioned "drawn and
quartered." Alas, she's indestructible.
Our next plan is to make
her play The Crow: City of
Angels for one full day, nonstop. If that doesn't kill her, nothing

**Editor's note: Please click here for our latest roundup of iPhone 5 speculation.**
The popular, Android-based Samsung Galaxy S III is now in the hands of customers around the world – Verizon Wireless becomes the last of the four major U.S. carriers to get it next week – raising many questions about whether Apple can move its projected release of the device from September or October up a month or two.
That's exactly what's going to happen, sources tell Taiwan's Central News Agency, which knows people close to Apple's manufacturing chain in Asia. The publication says Apple will move sales of the new iPhone 5 – or whatever the next-gen device will be called – to August in order to keep Samsung and other competitors from dominating the smartphone market this summer.
Most analysts have projected an October release for the next iPhone – one year after the release of the iPhone 4S – but some have been hedging their bets, gradually moving their release-date predictions up as competition heats up, particularly from Samsung, which reigns as the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world. The iPhone remains the best selling device, but many predict that could change when final sales numbers are released for Q2. Some have said that the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx beat the iPhone 4S last month at Verizon Wireless, while many others expect the Samsung Galaxy S III to be the summer's most likely bestseller.
And Samsung might not be done for the foreseeable future, as the International Business Times of Australia points out, saying the Korean-based manufacturer might be prepping another big device for the fall.
That being said, it's unlikely that Apple could speed up its process much now; if the Silicon Valley giant were concerned about summer competition, it would've had to press down on the gas pedal a little sooner.
Meantime, Taiwan's Digitimes is reporting that competition might also be a factor influencing some of the new iPhone's specs, saying the iPhone 5 will come packed with a quad-core processor as opposed to the chip it used in the third-generation iPad earlier this year. Many of Apple's rivals, such as Samsung and HTC, are using quad-cores from Qualcomm.

MIDLAND – After a grueling four-game day, Saturday at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Softball Tournament, Ferris State University's run in the event finally came to an end.
Errors (mental and physical ones) plagued the Bulldogs in their losses. They committed four against Saginaw Valley, in a winner's bracket game, and six against Wayne, in a loser's bracket game. The Warriors were coming off a loss to a suddenly-hot Saginaw Valley team that strengthened its regional tournament credentials with its performances in the league tournament in Midland.
The disappointing ending to the tournament, an event in which the Bulldogs never really played their brand and level of softball, spoiled some strong performances by several individual players. Senior third baseman Katie Kraai and junior first baseman Amanda Jager had key hits against Saginaw Valley, redshirt freshman outfielder Rachel Wade showed some of her hitting potential (particularly with power) and sophomore Rhea Flores also had some big hits for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs expect to have more softball yet to be played.
Ferris has proven, over the course of the season, particularly with its run through the regular season of the GLIAC, that it is worthy of an NCAA bid. The only thing left to be settled should be seeding at this point.

Support the Confirmation of Debo P. Adegbile to be Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice
Advocacy Letter - 01/29/14
Source: The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
Recipient: U.S. Senate
Dear Senator:
On behalf of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, we are writing to strongly support the nomination of Debo P. Adegbile to be Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice. Mr. Adegbile is a skilled litigator and a well-respected member of the bar who is extraordinarily qualified for and suited to this position. We urge you to support his confirmation when the Senate Judiciary Committee considers his nomination tomorrow.
Mr. Adegbile's professional experiences are varied and his accomplishments are myriad. He worked as a litigator for Paul Weiss, a large corporate law firm, where he handled a variety of cases for corporate, governmental, individual, and not-for-profit clients. In addition, Mr. Adegbile has served for a decade in various leadership positions at the nation's first civil rights law firm, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., where he oversaw cases in both the trial and appellate courts, while managing the legal staff. Adegbile has argued before the Supreme Court twice. He currently serves as Senior Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Mr Adegbile's legal experience is extensive. At Paul Weiss, he represented a New York State Comptroller in cases involving employment-related First Amendment claims; a member of Congress in a constitutional challenge to the drawing of his congressional district; various corporations in cases involving real estate developer interests; complex international transactions; and antitrust and patent claims. During his years at LDF, Mr. Adegbile was involved in a wide range of complex civil and criminal litigation where he acquired substantial experience in appellate litigation, including notable experience before the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2010, Mr. Adegbile supervised the LDF team that litigated Lewis v. City of Chicago, an employment discrimination action brought on behalf of a class of African-American firefighter applicants. Along with co-counsel, the LDF team successfully litigated the case and achieved a rare unanimous ruling in a civil rights case before the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result of that victory, more than 100 of LDF's clients were hired as Chicago firefighters. Mr. Adegbile has argued two cases before the United States Supreme Court. He defended the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act's (VRA) preclearance provisions before the U.S. Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. __ (2013), and in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder, 55 U.S. 193 (2009).
One of the hallmarks of Mr. Adegbile's professionalism has been his zealous commitment tocompetent legal representation for all his clients, whether as part of his work at a law firm or at LDF. Since the announcement of his nomination, Mr. Adegbile has been attacked by some for his appellate representation of Mumia Abu-Jamal. We believe that this representation strengthens his nomination, rather than weakens it.
It is a fundamental tenet of the Constitution and our justice system that anyone who faces the loss of liberty has a right to counsel. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to provide zealous representation to people who otherwise stand alone against the power and resources of the government. Even the most unpopular defendants deserve competent legal representation, particularly when he or she is facing the death penalty.
Countless attorneys provide thousands of hours of pro bono services every year. Many highly regarded attorneys have provided their services to condemned defendants, understanding and appreciating this call for competent legal representation. Before being appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, current Chief Justice Roberts aided lawyers at his firm in their representation of a man convicted of killing eight people. Roberts has said "lawyers don't stand in the shoes of their clients and [ ] good lawyers can give advice and argue any side of a case."[1]Kenneth Starr, former Solicitor General to George H. W. Bush and a former federal judge, assisted in the representation of a death row inmate. Discussing the case, he explained, "Society had better be absolutely certain before they put someone to death who is maintaining his innocence. I feel very passionately about that."[2]Former Solicitor General Seth Waxman and current Solicitor General Donald Verrilli have provided pro bono representation to indigent condemned prisoners. Waxman, who served as Solicitor General under President Bill Clinton, successfully received a new trial for a Texas inmate because of racial discrimination during jury selection. Gregory Garre, former Solicitor General under George W. Bush, represented an indigent Alabama inmate convicted of two counts of capital murder who faced execution without further review as a result of an error by his former representation. Miguel Estrada, a partner at Gibson Dunn, and former Assistant to the Solicitor General under President George H. W. Bush represented a condemned prisoner whose sentence was struck down by a federal court due to the prosecution's suppression of material concerning a key prosecution witness.
As these high profile examples demonstrate, the commitment to the adequate representation of a capital defendant is a non-partisan legal tenet. LDF accepted Mr. Abu-Jamal's case at the appellate level, contending that his constitutional rights had been violated during his trial, after federal courts reviewing the case ruled unanimously that Abu-Jamal was due a new sentencing hearing free of constitutional error. LDF's challenge was based on procedural error and rooted in two settled principles of law: A person's trial must be free from discrimination or racial bias, especially when facing a death sentence; and jurors must be allowed to consider whether or not they can find reasons to spare a defendant's life when considering punishment by death.
Although a few police organizations have indicated opposition to Mr. Adegbile's nomination, it is notable that the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) declared their "unwavering support" for the confirmation of Mr Adegbile, explaining in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee sent on January 24, 2014,
[W]e believe that Mr. Adegbile's record of achievement is impressive, and he is well qualified for the position. Additionally, he has demonstrated a respect for the fundamental rights of all people under our constitution to have legal representation no matter how heinous the offense. We are confident in his ability to bring a balanced and ethical perspective into his role as head of the Civil Rights Division. The attacks on Mr. Adegbile's character for upholding one's constitutional rights are troubling. To take away one's right to a proper defense because of the act committed, is against the constitutional oath that we as law enforcement officials have sworn to protect and defend.
Throughout his career, Mr. Adegbile has distinguished himself as a highly effective and respected advocate who achieved successes both inside and outside the courtroom. The son of immigrants who worked his way from poverty to the top of the legal profession, Mr. Adegbile is a steadfast voice for equality and opportunity for all Americans.
Mr. Adegbile will lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division with integrity, professionalism, and a deep commitment to its important and historic mission of ensuring that our nation lives up to its promise of equality and justice for all. We urge you to support the confirmation of this extraordinary nominee. If you have any questions, please contact The Leadership Conference's Executive Vice President Nancy Zirkin or Senior Counsel Lisa Bornstein at (202) 466-3311.

New to the BMW world!
Hey guys, I just picked up my 1999 Alpine White/Sand 328i Sedan this past Monday! I absolutely love this car, it's by far the best car I have ever driven. I have some plans for it, nothing too serious though. I'm thinking 15% tint, smoked corners, clear side markers, and maybe some angel eyes. I've already ordered the piece to delete the front license plate, a new BMW badge for the rear, and since the rear speakers are blown I'm considering some Infinity Kappa 5.25" speakers and adding a 12" sub. Here are some pics after a full detail today, they aren't the best because I was blocked in my driveway and couldn't get some better shots, but those will be coming soon! Let me know what you think, all criticism is welcome!
I'm also new to this fantastic world. I've had my car for about 4 months and it is the best car decision I have made in my life! I love it!
I love this forum already, so much information available! I've fixed every problem (little) that this car has had just through searching!

Each issue of Answers magazine includes an outstanding Kids Answers section that highlights the wonders of God's creation with kid-friendly information, images and games. This issue of Kids Answers contains interesting facts about tigers, includes a word game, a "Cats of the World" poster and more!
Hey Kids! Buddy Davis here. Remember, scientists are only human. Just like you and me, they can never know everything. Only God knows everything. You can always trust God and His Word, the Bible.
God created animals—even big cats—to eat plants, NOT meat.
We've learned from scientists that all plants, animals, and humans store information about what they look like on something called DNA.
Match the words from the Bible with the reference where it is found.
Cats of the World poster
The tiger is from the "cat" kind.
What does cat "kind" mean?

Date of Stay: September, 2010
We normally avoid KOAs because they are expensive and don't seem worth it. Some are nicer than others, but they all seem to want to charge a lot. We stayed in a W/E site only to save some money or they would have wanted about $40 to stay in this tree-less, not-that-attractive park. This camp advertizes "free Wi-Fi" but when you try to use it, it's not available. If these parks can't afford a system that will support their campers, they should not be able to advertise that they have it!
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This campground advertises free Wi-Fi, but when we were there, we constantly had trouble accessing it on our computers. The camp host said it was our problem, but we didn't have problems in most other campgrounds. For $30, I expect to have Wi-Fi and have a campground that's free of weeds! It was convenient to Albuquerque (15-20 min) and relatively quiet even tho I-40 is nearby.
