If you've ever been to Chicago, there's a pretty good chance you flew over, passed through, grabbed a bite at or spent the night in … the O'Hare Hilton. It's a towering, sprawling, fast-paced frenzy of people and activities.
Over the years, I've had lots of meetings and done lots of speaking, training, and consulting at the O'Hare Hilton. It has always been a friendly and convenient place to conduct business, for my clients and for me.
I'd pull up to valet parking and be cheerfully greeted by Oscar, Oscar Jr., or Stephen. I knew them by name. And with each return visit, they'd exclaim, "Hi Jeff, nice to see you again!"
Since I spent so much time at the O'Hare Hilton, it hit me one day, "Heck, they oughta become a client." And they did, along with other Chicago Hilton properties.
When the O'Hare Hilton was led by general manager Bruce Ulrich, I had the pleasure and privilege to work with him and his talented team of hospitality pros. Bruce was an incredibly gracious guy. Well-liked. Well-respected. A dynamic leader. He "lived" for, and I guess you could say "at," his place of passion. For the hotel wasn't his "home away from home." It was his home! Bruce and his family even lived there!
Because Bruce brought a relentless commitment and never-ending dedication to his work, he of course expected the same from his people.
Bruce and I had lots of conversations. There's one thing he said that I'll never forget. He asked me, "Jeff, do you know who some of the most important members of our hospitality team are?"
"The janitors and members of our custodial team ," he answered, "who clean the first floor bathrooms, just off our lobby."
Now, if you've ever walked the hallowed halls of the O'Hare Hilton, you know which bathrooms Bruce is talking about. They're the ones located between the front desk and the bar/restaurant area. It's a high-traffic area. Every day, it gets lots of visitors. And captures lots of eyeballs.
Bruce went on to explain: Those bathrooms are making first impressions — with meeting attendees, bar and restaurant patrons, hotel guests, visitors, weary travelers on a brief layover or a long delay.
And those impressions better be positive! Because if they're not, as Bruce exclaimed, "they'll begin to wonder about the cleanliness of our sleeping rooms. The food quality in the restaurants. The caliber of room-service.
"The meeting experience. The talent of the staff and their attentiveness."
The impact of Bruce's statement was profound. Impactful. And obviously, unforgettable.
Yet, was it hyperbole?
Was it a gross exaggeration about the significance of "little" things making a BIG difference?
Bruce's fanatical focus on the small stuff was, and still is, dead on!
Bruce knew, in some way, that a visit of only a few minutes to the men's or women's bathroom … would either generate or jeopardize future revenue. And it wasn't a gamble he was willing to take.
What are you gambling?
What's at risk in your business?
Bruce and his team took control of what they could control. He and they knew that neglect and abandonment of a bathroom could cause a customer's neglect, abandonment and indifference about the property or even … the entire Hilton brand!
Bruce realized that tangible observations drive intangible insights and conclusions. Like opinions, judgments, word of mouth.
Now some might bellow, "That's too much pressure. The expectations too high. It ain't fair!"
Fair?! Are you kidding? Who said this was fair? Fairness and equity aren't part of this equation. Not when you've got logic and emotion driving decisions. And customers, clients, and prospects demand and expect value and positive outcomes.
Not occasionally. All the time!
So what business …
What relationships …
What sales …
What profits …
Are being won or lost or being influenced by …
How your phone is answered?
How your customers or clients are greeted upon arrival?
How your building, office, or lobby conveys your image and culture?
How your car, clothing, uniforms or delivery vehicles communicate "who" you are, or at least who you're telling the world you are?
How your promotional literature, website, or correspondence reflects your talent, skill and expertise?
And, yep, perhaps even the cleanliness of your bathrooms?
What can you improve, enhance, or upgrade?
When will you do it?
To drive profits, there are three things you and your folks should always be thinking about and trying to answer:
- Who do we market and sell to?
- What do we market and sell?
- How do we market and sell?
Of these three, which can you control? Influence? Adapt? Take action on?
Remember … somebody is always watching and judging! And whatever impression they have, good or bad, they'll probably tell to someone else. Who tells someone else. Who tells someone else …

Saudi's illegal immigrants draw fear of "infiltrators"
By Angus McDowall and Asma Alsharif
JEDDAH (Reuters) - Down a narrow alleyway deep in the Jeddah slum of Karantina, three women from Sudan have set up stalls under colourful parasols, selling peanuts, hibiscus petals, dried pulses, baskets, frankincense, calabashes and sandalwood.
They laugh and gossip in the sunshine, swathed in bright printed cloth, while a scrawny black cat picks its way between piles of rubbish. But when approached by a stranger, they are cautious.
Jeddah has attracted outsiders for centuries, being the main port of arrival for Muslims making the haj pilgrimage to Mecca. It is this history that gives Karantina its name: older residents can remember when it was "quarantine" for pilgrims.
But the people who now live in this slum in the south of Saudi Arabia's second biggest city were drawn not only by religious devotion but also the top oil exporter's wealth. They live in a legal limbo, sometimes for generations.
"This is the forgotten area," said a bearded Sudanese man in his 40s. "Here are many illegal immigrants who don't have official papers. Government supervision is scarce."
Saudi Arabia's hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are not counted among the millions of expatriates who reside legally in the Arab kingdom, working as everything from maids to finance executives.
Instead they live on the margins, ineligible for government services and outside of the law, but often unofficially tolerated because of the expense and administrative obstacles in the way of expelling them.
In recent months, however, their status has caught the attention of Saudi media, who have been calling them "infiltrators" and warning readers of their supposed links to crime, disease and militancy. Continued...

Welcome to part 39 of Let's Make a Framework, the ongoing series about
building a JavaScript framework.
If you haven't been following along, these articles are tagged with
lmaf. The project we're creating is called Turing.
Last week we continued building
turing-test.js, a basic unit testing framework. The idea behind this framework is to build
something that follows the CommonJS specifications and works in modern
browsers. This will help us test Turing more effectively.
The source code for last week's tutorial can be found in commit
This week's code is in commit
CommonJS Unit Test 1.0
assert.throws pretty briefly:
// Expected to throw an error:
assert.throws(block, Error_opt, message_opt);
The error and message arguments are optional. The error argument should
check the type of the exception, and the message is an optional message.
When I was reading through Node's
assert.js I
noticed they also define
doesNotThrow. I debated the
usefulness of this for a while, but I realised there are a lot of cases
where testing for no exception is more meaningful than a simple
assert.ok, and it should make the tests for the throw
assertion easier to write.
If we're going to implement that as well, we'll need a generic
throws() function with an option to determine if an
exception was expected.
The basic
throws function, called by the assertions, looks
like this:
function throws(expected, block, error, message) {
// Set up
try {
} catch (e) {
actual = true;
exception = e;
// Test outcome
If an error was expected and one has been passed, we can test the
exception matches like this:
exception.constructor != error
In this case,
error is expected to be an exception
constructor like
function CustomException() {
this.message = 'Custom excpetion';
this.name = 'CustomException';
assert.throws(function() {
throw new CustomException();
}, CustomException);
The structure of the
throws and
method looks like this:
Putting this together with the above snippets, we get something like the
function throws(expected, block, error, message) {
var exception,
actual = false,
operator = expected ? 'throws' : 'doesNotThrow';
callee = expected ? assert.throws : assert.doesNotThrow;
if (typeof error === 'string' && !message) {
message = error;
error = null;
message = message || '';
try {
} catch (e) {
actual = true;
exception = e;
if (expected && !actual) {
fail((exception || Error), (error || Error), 'Exception was not thrown\n' + message, operator, callee);
} else if (!expected && actual) {
fail((exception || Error), null, 'Unexpected exception was thrown\n' + message, operator, callee);
} else if (expected && actual && error && exception.constructor != error) {
fail((exception || Error), null, 'Unexpected exception was thrown\n' + message, operator, callee);
assert.throws = function(block, error, message) {
throws.apply(this, [true].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
assert.doesNotThrow = function(block, error, message) {
throws.apply(this, [false].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
Please excuse the crudity of this model, I didn't have time to build it
to scale or to paint it.
Notice that we can use the expected result to determine the callee. That
means the
fail method will correctly track the operator and
start stack function.
I promised tests of tests, so here they are. This is actually an
interesting example because it illustrates how useful
doesNotThrow is -- we can use it to test the inverse
without doing any hacking to simulate failed exceptions.
exports['test throws'] = function() {
assert.throws(function() {
throw 'This is an exception';
function CustomException() {
this.message = 'Custom excpetion';
this.name = 'CustomException';
assert.throws(function() {
throw new CustomException();
}, CustomException);
assert.throws(function() {
throw new CustomException();
}, CustomException, 'This is an error');
exports['test doesNotThrow'] = function() {
assert.doesNotThrow(function() {
return true;
}, 'this is a message');
assert.throws(function() {
throw 'This is an exception';
}, 'this is a message');
The two and three argument versions are being tested here as well.
I noticed the code I ported from Node in last week's tutorial included
Object.keys. Some browsers don't have that, so I wrote a
little function to provide the functionality.
function objKeys(o) {
var result = [];
for (var name in o) {
if (o.hasOwnProperty(name))
return result;
That's all of the assertions! We've discovered a few interesting things
here, most notably that defining an inverse for
assert.throws makes testing the assertions easier.
If you're reading this in the future and you want to check out this
version of the project, it's commit

Greenville High School students taking a stance against new lunch regulations
GREENVILLE — Some seniors at Greenville High School are banding together to make a difference so students don't feel hungry due to new food regulations.
New requirements headed by first lady Michelle Obama and members of Congress went into effect across the nation this school year.
After hearing some students were still hungry because of these regulations, students decided to work together to try to get things changed.
Student body
"We know nothing is going to happen tomorrow," said Dakota Sherrick, 17. "But we want to make a difference for (younger) students."
The committee, which consists of six seniors, has organized meetings with school officials and has been gathering opinions from other students through a Facebook page ("Greenville students against govt. regulated lunches"), which had just under 1,000 "likes" in just a few days.
Some of the new regulations include only serving 10 to 12 ounces of protein to each student per week, 10 to 12 ounces of grain to each student per week — half of the grains must to whole grains — one cup of vegetables to each student per day — must include five different kinds of vegetables a week — along with other regulations in additional food groups.
Schools receive federal funding to follow these regulations as schools are required to offer meals for free and reduced lunches.
Alex Karatkiewicz, 17, said they the student committee has heard from athletes the most about these new regulations as they sometimes don't get a chance to eat again after lunch until late in the evening because of practice or games.
Kyle Koett, 17, agreed students are still hungry after lunch and noted students can get more food if they pay for it. However, committee members said this option is not possible for some students, especially students with free and reduced lunches, and that is the reason why the committee wants to be a voice for students to get the regulations changed.
For some students, school lunches are the only meal they get, said Samantha O'Herron, 18. She asked if they are not getting enough at lunch, then where are they going to get the food they need?
"One free meal should be a meal, not a snack," she said.
Megan O'Brien said students are still growing and they need more than 10 ounces of protein a week.
"We are not all identical," O'Brien said.
Karatkiewicz said the new regulations are based on the average student, noting in the senior class, there is a student who is more than 6 feet tall, and one who is about 5 feet tall, both of whom need different amounts of food.
"Who is to say what the average student is?" Karatkiewicz asked.
The committee wants their voices to be heard to start something, with the understanding that change will not come right away. However, they said they want change for the younger students so that possibly, next year, students will not be hungry after lunch.
"We are not doing this because we are seniors — we aren't doing this for us," Sherrick said. "But we are doing it for everyone."
Kyle Koett, 17, said the next step for students is trying to talk to government officials, possibly even calling the Michelle Obama's office.
"We have talked about making a video and sending it to the state," Koett said.
Food and nutrition director
Greenville Public Schools Food and Nutrition Director Kenneth Poor said he is very impressed with how the students are handling the situation to try to make a difference.
"They have been so mature dealing with this," Poor said. "They are not angry and are taking the right approach."
Since beginning the school year under new regulations, Poor said the situation has been tough. He has been spending 15 to 20 hours per week trying to plan meals that satisfy the new regulations, stay within the calorie requirements and find products from vendors that will work.
"It's like putting together a puzzle." he said. "It's much more complicated than in previous years."
As the school recently ended its open-campus policy, Poor said a remodel of the cafeteria was done to offer more for students to eat, such as a large salad and fruit bar, and with more options for the students to choose from. However, because of the regulations, things such as the salad and fruit bar have to be monitored to make sure students are not going over their allotted amount.
"Our goal (this year) was to encourage fruits," Poor said. "Now we have to limit them because they contain calories through their natural sugars."
Poor agreed students can always buy more food through the a la carte line such as pizza, snacks, cookies and more, as the regulations are only required for the food the school has to provide for free and reduced lunches.
"There is good intention behind the regulations," Poor said. "But there are flaws in the plan. One size does not fit all."
As both committee members and Poor pointed out, students with free or reduced lunches have a hard enough time paying for one lunch, let alone buying more food because they are still hungry.
"There is an issue there," he said. "We can't offer more (to the students) through free and reduced lunches."
Poor has talked to other school districts about thenew regulations and said students being hungry is a problem all over —not just at Greenville Public Schools.
Poor said the biggest outcry from students has come from athletes.
"They need more calories per day than a student who does not participate in athletics after school," he said.
One of Poor's biggest problems when trying to meet regulations is finding vendors that offer the right amount of portions. He said vendors are also busy trying to create products that can be sold to schools, such as a 2-ounce burger, which will help schools stay between the 10 to 12 ounces of protein a week.
Poor plans to work with the student committee to see if changes can be made.
"They are such good kids," Poor said. "I am thrilled to be in Greenville."
How much protein a person needs per day:
(According to Harvard University's nutrition website)
"There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight per day — that's about 58 grams (a little less than 2 ounces) for a 160 pound adult."
New food regulations for the National School Lunch Program:
• ¾ – 1 cup of vegetables (per day) that include dark green, red/orange, beans/peas, starchy and others per week
Meat/meat alternative (Protein)
• Grades K-5: 8-10 ounces per week
• Grades 6-8: 9-10 ounces per week
• Grades 9-12: 10-12 ounces per week
Grains (at least half have to be whole grains)
• Grades K-5: 8-10 ounces per week
• Grades 6-8: 9-10 ounces per week
• Grades 9-12: 10-12 ounces per week
• 1 cup — must be fat-free or 1 percent
• Grades K-5: 7-10 ounces per week
• Grades 6-8: 8-10 ounces per week
• Grades 9-12: 9-10 ounces per week
Calories (for lunch)
• Grades K-5: 550-650 per day
• Grades 6-8: 600-700 per day
• Grades 9-12: 750-850 per day

Licensing officer finally admits permits won't be given for political events
Filed under: Archives
By the Singapore Democrats
17 May 2009
Original link
The police have declared that no licenses will be given for outdoor political events. This is no secret. However, they have repeatedly avoided stating this stand in court. Until now, that is.
Licensing officer Mr Yeo Kok Leong said in court last week that the police would not issue a permit if they received an application from a political party.
He was testifying in the continuing trial of five SDP members and activists (Mr Gandhi Ambalam, Ms Chee Siok Chin, Mr Chong Kai Xiong, Mr John Tan, and Mr Charles Tan who is away) who are charged with taking part in an illegal procession on 16 Sep 07 to mark the anniversary of the protest at the Speakers' Corner during the WB-IMF annual meetings in Singapore in 2006.
Under cross-examination by Mr John Tan, Station Inspector Yeo said that even if the defendants had applied for a permit for the procession, it would not have been granted.
The new Public Order Act — more arbitrary powers, more tyranny
Filed under: Archives
SEE ALSO: Changes proposed to Films Act and enhanced police powers by Ng E-Jay and Shameful piece of legislation by the Singapore Democrats.
Written by Ng E-Jay
24 March 2009
Article 14(1) of the Singapore Constitution states that every Singapore citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression, the right to assemble peaceably and without arms, and the right to form associations. Even though Article 14(2) states that those rights may be restricted by Parliament as it deems necessary in the interest of security or public order, it is understood that the spirit and meaning of this article is to enshrine in our Constitution a recognition that human beings have certain rights, and that these right should be respected.
Monday 23 March 2009 was a another sad day in our nation's political history, as the ruling party took steps to further curtail the rights of Singapore citizens to freedom of peaceful assembly in the name of preserving national security.
As it stands, the authorities have repeatedly used the Public Entertainment and Meetings Act (Chapter 257) as well as the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act (Chapter 184) Section 5 — Assemblies and Processions to prosecute activists and politicians who have conducted public activities or campaigns of a political nature.
For instance, in June 2006, SDP leaders Dr Chee Soon Juan and Gandhi Ambalam, as well as activist Yap Keng Ho, were charged with eight counts of speaking in public without a permit during the run-up to the 2006 General Elections. They had been canvassing support from the ground for the SDP and selling the party newsletter in places like Jurong West, Woodlands and Yishun — activities which all political parties carry out during election periods, including the PAP.
Dr Chee's response leaves CJ, AG and Law Minister in the dust
Filed under: Archives
Written by Ng E-Jay
07 Jan 2009
At the opening of the legal year in the Supreme Court last week, Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong, Attorney-General Walter Woon and Law Minister K Shanmugam launched an all-out offensive against civil rights activists campaigning for democratic change in Singapore as well as foreign media which have criticized our judiciary and the rule of law here.
In particular, CJ Chan insinuated that activists in Singapore have attempted to undermine public confidence in the courts by making "false and scandalous allegations", and AG Woon said that "that there appears to be a campaign by certain people both here and abroad to attack the integrity and independence of the Singapore courts", that "it is not permissible to undermine the courts and judiciary for political or ideological reasons", that these "appear to be part of a broader campaign to force a change in our laws by extra-legal means". (ST link)
K Shanmugam, which is also the Second Minister for Home Affairs, noted that "in the last few years, there have been people who did not like certain laws and the way they showed it was to go out there and protest", but he countered that "the way to change the law is to get elected politically and argue in Parliament why the law should be changed". Denouncing civil rights activists who have sought to highlight the unfairness of certain laws and how the Constitution has been violated by selective application of these laws, Shanmugam remarked that "… an aggressive small group of people think they can change those laws by going out there and protesting and the courts have repeatedly emphasized they will apply the law as it is."
The remarks and comments made by the Chief Justice, Attorney-General, and Law Minister are consistent with the way the mainstream media has portrayed civil rights activists working for democratic change in Singapore as "radicals" who prefer to break the law and attract attention to themselves rather than work within the law and effect change by winning elections and arguing their case in Parliament — see for example this ST article by Peh Shing Huei entitled "The partitioning of the opposition", my response to Peh's article, and Dr Chee Soon Juan's response to Peh's article. This time round however, the rhetoric has been notched up to a new all-time high.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:22pm
By Matt Striebel As told to Terry Foy
During my sophomore and junior seasons at Princeton, I played primarily as a feeding attackman. I spent most of my time behind the cage quarterbacking our offense. The stick I used during those seasons was a Sniper with a low traditional pocket and no whip — the ideal stick for vertical cradling and quick feeding. In 2001, I switched from attack to midfield, and have since developed into a traditional dodge-and-shoot midfielder. So, my stick features a higher pocket and considerably more whip — it's a stick and a pocket specifically designed for shooting and passing on the run.
One of the most common mistakes young lacrosse players make is letting their stick play out-of-position. Attackmen use too much whip to reliably feed and middies, who should be able to hide their stick from goalies and shoot on the run, have not yet graduated to a higher pocket and more whip.
These are simple mistakes to correct. All they require is better understanding of your stick and its technology.
Most modern sticks feature slightly bent or curved sidewalls. There are a variety of reasons for this, but the most important effects pocket location. The lowest point on the base of your sidewall is the point to which your pocket will naturally gravitate.
Feeding attackmen will want something with a flat or gradual sidewall. Midfielders can experiment with a more exaggerated curve.
Too much whip is a bad thing. There are two ways to get whip. The first is from your shooting strings — but if they're too tight, the ball is going to hook. The second, more subtle source is a result of pocket movement. If you push a lacrosse ball into your pocket until it is settled in the mesh and then slide the ball upwards towards the shooting strings while maintaining pressure on the pocket, what happens? If the ball eventually slides along the mesh, your pocket is anchored appropriately. If your entire pocket moves with the ball, then you need to make some adjustments.
To anchor your pocket you must fasten the edges of your mesh to your sidewall using your sidewall strings. There are a variety of ways to do this; the easiest and most common is doubling up the mesh. Without loosening your sidewalls (which would create too much pocket movement), the best way to get a deeper pocket without increasing your whip is to double up the mesh holes in the spot where you want your pocket to sit.
You don't want your shooting strings too high or too low. You want the ball to have sufficient time to spin through your pocket, but you don't want to slow your release too much. You don't want your horizontal shooting strings below the third eyelet on your sidewall.
To V or not to V, this is the question. The U or V string has become very popular with lacrosse players these days.
One of the primary advantages of well-strung V-string is its ability to channel the ball. The last thing you want is the lacrosse ball rattling or moving around your pocket.
A U-string is also a great way to make a wider stick feel more narrow or pinched because the stringing technique will keep the ball centered in the pocket.
In order to get whip you want at least one of your shooting strings, preferably your top shooter, to be strung all the way to the sidewall. This will create a point-of-no-return. A spot in your pocket beyond which your pocket will not stretch. This is where the ball will catch and provide the torque on your shot. The lower the shooting strings are anchored, the more whip you'll get and the harder your shots and passes will be to control
Don't choose and tailor your lacrosse stick because your favorite professional or college player is using it. Choose your lacrosse stick based on what type of player you are or want to be. If you want to be a dodge-and-shoot midfielder, experiment with whip and pocket position. If you're a feeding attackmen, set your pocket as low as you can, and keep the top tight so the ball comes out as quickly as it can.
Whatever you do, don't use too much or too little of either. Too much pocket and you're illegal, too little and your stick is worthless. Too much whip and you'll be drilling for oil with your shots, too little and you'll be shooting the moon. The key, as always, is finding the right balance.

Absence Makes This HeART Grow Stronger
Once I got back into the studio, I realized how much I'd missed it, over the months of working at English Gardens. It feels so good to don my paint clothes in the morning, grab a cup of coffee and head to the studio.... I did take some time after I prepared for the show, to relax and regroup a bit, but I find I feel like I'm missing something if I don't spend at least half my day in the studio. I've been exploring some new techniques, returning to my "Stuffed" series and completing some of those ideas. I'm also getting ready to embark on a new painting or two - other than "Stuffed". The fire in my heART has been rekindled and I don't want the flame to be extinguished. Sometimes it takes being "separated" from something one loves to realize just how much one misses it.

text: Hey everyone. I have an '85 scirocco with a 94 2.0 aba with a 1.8l solid lifter head. This car runs a class called 'ministock' at a track in n.h. . it's a high bank quarter mile oval. so.. i had trouble with the fuel injection so i fabed up a carb. intake manifold. easy, done. when i converted to the 2.0 lower end, there was some funny business with the distributor. my buddy figured it out by changing or moving the window under the cap.. got it running, seemed good. as you know, the 1.8 dist. doesn't fit. anyway, my last trip to the track ended me with a max rpm of 6700. when i take off in first and give it everything it's got, it just stops at that rpm. blahhh, blugghh ugh. shift to 2nd and same thing stops pulling at 6700. the icm (ignition module) is old, from a cis car. it has 6 wires ithink. the coil too is old. i'll be replacing the coil with an msd blaster or equivalent. I think my problem is the module. is there a simple way or a better module i can use that has no rpm limiter? If it were the distributor, would'nt there be issues at all rpm's? can someone recomend a distributor i can use thats not jerry rigged? i'm trying not to use a computer also. The cam is a crower custom grind, 450 lift, 286 ish duration and is good from 3-7500 rpm. new valve springs for cam, valves set at 8-11 thousandths. ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS????? thanks for reading, shawn

Hazeldene Lower School
The Mayor will be attending Hazeldene Lower School's assembly at
10am, on Tuesday 14th December, to present the school with the
'Every Child Matters' (ECM) Quality Mark.
The ECM recognition follows the school's ability to provide five
outcomes to raise achievement: achieve economic wellbeing, stay
safe, make a positive contribution, stay healthy, enjoy and
achieve. Hazeldene Lower School is the first school in Bedford
Borough to receive it.
The award will be presented by the Mayor to Hazeldene Lower
School's Chair of Governors, Peter Gell, by way of a glass
The Mayor, Dave Hodgson, said: "As part of our commitment to
raising school standards across the borough, it gives me great
pleasure to award Hazeldene Lower School with this well respected
quality mark. We want to ensure that all young people are given
opportunities to grow and thrive through the experiences to which
they have access during their school years. We are very serious

said: "As a school, on behalf of the governors, staff, parents and
children we are very proud to receive this award in recognition of
all the hard work that the school does for all our pupils."
At the award event, seven children from the school council will be
putting prepared questions to the Mayor and the school will be
singing two songs for participants to enjoy.

school's portfolios of evidence and interviewed parents, governors,
pupils and staff.

Posted by Shar VanBoskirk on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on April 1, 2010
Marketers must follow the FTC's CAN-SPAM guidelines as they apply to transactional messages; however, transactional emails are frequently embedded with promotional content. We've found that retailers can, on average, generate an additional $2.9 million annually by including promotions in their transactional communications. When content gets mixed in together, we often hear clients asking: where is the line drawn between promotional and transactional messages?
While there is no silver bullet for determining the difference between each message type, there are some guidelines that can help you determine whether or not the message will be subject to the CAN-SPAM Act. The FTC places a great deal of weight on the subject line of a message, so if the subject line would lead the recipient to think it's a transactional message, it's a transactional message for CAN-SPAM purposes. Additionally, the content of the message matters. If the majority of the message is commercial, or the bulk of the transactional part of the message doesn't appear at the beginning of the message, CAN-SPAM considers the message a commercial one.
Regardless of message type, there are a few best practices to keep in mind to comply with CAN-SPAM (and maintain a good sender reputation).

Go pick up some geronimo paper towels.
I want to stop at geronimo burger on the way home.
so geronimo said, "what you mean we, kimosabe?"
No, I/we don't have such a word. Telling my SO, even in a dangerous situation, what to do, would stop her in her tracks and start an argument... "What do you mean, GERONIMO! I ain't gonna shut up and go... anywhere with you! I don't care about that pansy over there with the ski mask and the Gangsta Glock... You do not tell me where to go... You got me?!"
Me (in my best underdog voice) "Yes dear...."
"That's what I'm talkin' about... Now YOU shut up and go!"
That was a joke, son...
not a bad idea... some obscure brand name or brand name sounding word might make do in most situations... like geronimo above..

Well I know I'm beating a dead horse here but...
I've been here just a short while. I am amazed at how friendly and civil everyone is here. I've grown so accustomed to rude behavior on gun sites that I thought that is just the way it is/was.
To the Administrators: Thank you. Great job. Please don't let this place change too much.
To my fellow members: Thank you for making this site soooo enjoyable.
Ask not what your country can do for you....
The main reason that I frequent this board is NOT for the knowledge or the discussions or the opinions of others. Its NOT for different views or even the exellent discussions of the good and the bad of various weapons or the exellent pictures that I occasionaly "lift" and use elsewhere. It has nothing to do with the "maturity level" or anything like that,nor does it have anything to do with the links, references or otherwise great resources that I sometimes use.
The reason that I have several hundred posts is because of all of the neat little smilies and such that I can put at the beggining,middle or end of my posts !!!
Seriously, the reason that I am here is because Good Ol' Bumper has created a truly unique area that is like an oasis of decency & normalcy the Internet.
He also supports & trusts his moderators to the umpteenth degree.
Credit to him for being the ultimate Administrator.
There could be no better "BOSS" ~ that I could imagine.
CombatCarry.com is a fantastic intermingling of critical, helpful, firearm & carry related information and friendly casualness.
All members have an equal right to share their opinions - no matter if they are brand new "Newbies" or seasoned forum veterans. They can express those thoughts and opinions and ask questions without getting flamed or blasted.
Plus...Folks here are pretty much 100% respectful of others and this place runs so smoothly due to that fact. It's a pleasure to moderate here.
It's a good place to be.
We have members here that would not even consider registering on any other firearm forum but, they tried CombatCarry and they stayed here.
And to our forum Holster Makers and Seasoned Shooters & Firearm Instructors who share all of their knowledge & experiance...you ARE the absolute best.
So many people here in the U.S. are brand new to Firearm Ownership & Concealed Carry and they are really getting the entry level help that they need here...Thanks to you guys & (Betty who is not a guy) ~~~ as many have noticed.
Even though the following will sound "canned" it really isn't but, it IS the conglomeration of a rare breed of amazing people that keep me here.

http://www.rkba-2a.com/ - a portal for 2A links, articles and some videos.
Most of the things I like best about CombatCarry have already been mentioned, but I would like to expand on one. Maturity! Man is this important. I love it that people here are mature enough to express an opinion and accept the fact that not everyone is going to agree. In fact most may not agree, but most everyone else will respect their opinion. There are still a few who can seem to understand that there are good guns in a caliber other than .45 and that not everyone has to have one with a "prancing pony." And they know who they are
I believe that there are a couple of specific things that encourage us to be mature. 1) Most of the members here don't take themselves too seriously. We poke a little fun at others, accept the fun that is poked at us, and even occasionally poke a little fun at ourselves. 2) The maturity level of the members reflects the maturity level of the leadership. Our moderators use gentle and humorous ways (when possible) to inform us of errors - like highjacking a thread (Thanks again, Chris), to remind us of the fact that we are expected to be polite, etc. They bend over backwards to help people who just don't seem to be able to discuss things without personal attacks.

My favorite parts are the answers to "stoopid questions" which are never stupid and usually something I never thought about, AND the scenario questions - "What would you do???"

Editor's Notes: 8 Free Integrated Marketing Lessons
What's the future of marketing? What can you do with augmented reality in direct mail and print marketing? How do you optimize print, email and marketing automation strategies to engage customers?
We can't necessarily fit every topic we want to cover in this monthly magazine. That's why we held an online event on Aug. 15: The Integrated Marketing Virtual Conference and Expo. The entire conference is now available for free, on-demand, at integratedmarketingconf.com.
It turned out to be a great show. Brian Solis delivered a keynote that lit up Twitter: "What's the Future of Marketing?" M.J. Anderson from Trekk presented a session on augmented reality that brought the house down, and Cyndie Shaffstall (whom you may have heard on our "Direct Marketing on a Shoestring Budget" webinars with Carolyn Goodman) helped marketers understand how to bring the various channels together with marketing automation for full lifecycle marketing.
We also had sessions from "Big Data" expert Devyani Sadh, PhD, of Data Square; Ethan Boldt from Direct Marketing IQ; Gary Hennerberg from Hennerberg Group; and Jude Hoffner from J. Schmid & Assoc. It was an all-star event.
Want to see what it was like? Just scan this page with Layar to watch a video clip from Brian Solis' keynote about how to communicate with today's connected, and distracted, customers. Or watch it here!

III) at Arlington Park. The one-mile Hanshin is the first of 17 graded stakes races to be contested at Arlington Park this summer.A 5-year-old son of 1999 Kentucky Derby and Preakness (gr. I) hero Charismatic, Gouldings Green ran second in last year's Hanshin, beaten only a half a length by Lord of the Game. He has only raced four times since, notching a pair of victories in three starts this season.

Chris Emigh has the mount Saturday.Also in at 117 pounds is Hugh Robertson and Homewrecker Racing LLC's Three Hour Nap, winner of the Arlington-Washington Breeders' Cup Futurity (gr. III) in 2004.

Hello everyone, now I face a problem with motionbuilder 2012.
Now I have a rigged human model and a weapon with bone.
And I characterize the model let it move with my motion data from mocap.
My mocap still capture the motion of the weapon(sword), and I let my weapon model follow the bone made by mocap.
the problem is how to plot the animation of my weapon? I imported the motion data to 3Dx max and the weapon did not move. I had tried to add character extension to let the weapon be a part of my character model, and click plot extensions when plotting to skeleton. But it still no affect with my weapon when importing to 3Ds MAX.
Could anyone please tell me how to solve this or some tips or keywords...

There is a growing trend of apparently unhappy patients suing stem cell clinics, which have faced more lawsuits recently and some of these cases are proposed class action suits that could have much broader impact.
The latest case is against San Diego-based Stemgenex, a clinic that has claimed amongst other things that it can treat numerous diverse afflictions and that it has had a 100% customer satisfaction rate.
KPBS reporter David Wagner also has more on this story. Wagner also noted that Stemgenex has publicly argued for less FDA oversight of stem cells even as this case was starting to unfold. Amongst the around 600 stem cell clinics in the U.S., many of these businesses also argue for less FDA oversight.
What's the back story on the Stemgenex case?
Earlier this year there were some indications of attorneys being interested in a possible class action suit in part against a stem cell clinic in San Diego, but specifics had been lacking. Now a court document has provided new detailed information.
This case is Moorer v. StemGenex Medical Group. et at. The main named plaintiff on behalf of all the potential others in the class is Selena Moorer. A second plaintiff, Stephen Ginsberg, is mentioned later in the document as part of the "financial abuse of elders" subclass.
The defendants include the following businesses and individuals: Stemgenex, Stemgenex Medical Group, Stem Cell Research Centre, Rita Alexander, Andre Lallande D.O., Scott Sessions M.D., and DOE defendants 1-100. For the first three businesses listed as defendants, I don't know at this time how they are interrelated versus different.
There are nine separate causes of action mentioned:
- "Violations of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq
- Violations of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code .§ 17500 et seq.
- Violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq
- Violation of Human Experimentation Law – Cal. Health &; Safety Code § 24170, et seq
- Violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)
- Fraud
- Negligent Misrepresentation
- Unjust Enrichment
- Financial Elder Abuse"
I'm not sure why earlier in the document it lists only 8 complaints and then later the 9 complaints listed above are mentioned. There are a lot of other potentially notable things mentioned in the document as well such as that Stemgenex charges $14,900 per treatment. If I understood the document correctly, this case has now gone from being a California suit to a federal case. I'm not sure on why and what implications that might have.
Importantly, keep in mind that we do not know if any of these allegations are factual and there is no court ruling on any of them. Stemgenex reportedly did not respond to requests from KPBS for comment. If the company comments on the case I'll do a post on that.
What about the stem cell clinic area more broadly?
More generally, as mentioned earlier, it's been an active year for lawsuits against stem cell clinics. The community learned last week about the second of two different stem cell lawsuits against Florida-based U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. At the end of August there were indications of a possible class action lawsuit against The Lung Institute, another stem cell clinic.
I'm not a lawyer, but I wonder if class action suits, if approved, could be combined and then end up encompassing many different clinics across the U.S. as defendants. Continue reading

Healthcare Law Could Shake up Some Arkansas Companies
If they don't, the federal government will hit them with hefty fines.
All that could change Thursday when the Supreme Court is expected to reach a decision on the Affordable Healthcare Act signed into law by President Obama in 2010.
At issue: What will companies do?
The new law provides tax credit for those businesses but are they enough to offset the costs of providing healthcare insurance?
We spoke with a Conway construction company to see how it might affect their company and other businesses.

Umbro GT Pro
I picked up a pair of Umbro GT Pros after my venerable pair of Tiempo Legend's sole plate fell off. Umbro is a brand that has been around for decades, and the only major football company based in England. In recent times, I haven't had a high opinion of its boots, but I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the look, quality and fit of these boots.
The upper is made of the same Teijin leather that features on Nike's Vapor boots, and it's soft on your feet with a decent touch. Nothing can compare with K-Leather, but this synthetic is more than adequate and I don't notice the difference compared to my old pair of Legends. The black fading in orange color on these is class, and gives them an aggressive look.
The upper also features the Umbro A-frame technology, which means the tension on the laces is set to hit higher on your foot. This means the boots hold in place better, and keep your heel in place for the whole match. This is a feature I really like as I wear size 13 and it can be difficult to find a pair that hold to my foot properly. There are also two touch pads on the inside of the toes which are a new feature for Umbro, and help you catch the ball in the wet weather.
The insole of the boot is Poron polyurethane, and has to be one of the most comfortable insoles I've ever had. In fact, the whole boot is very comfortable on your foot. I don't feel the cleats at all when I am running down the pitch, or shifting direction quickly on the run. The interior of the upper is also padded, especially around the heel, which is great considering the tight fit of the A-frame. There's also a sock liner, so your feet don't get damp.
The sole plate on the pair I bought is meant for hard ground, but with the long conical studs, I find it's fine for soft ground as well as the mud doesn't stick to them. The plate itself is extremely flexible and has more than one line splitting the forefoot studs. This means there is more than one point at which the boot can flex allowing for more natural stability on the run. It is double-stitched at the front and rear in addition to being thermally bonded the whole way around, meaning they'll last for some time.
Overall, they are good looking, durable and comfortable. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants a quality pairs of boots at a reasonable price.

LE and the military means domestic and international LE and military services. This is NOT about which is better, or which YOU like better. Use your research skills if you don't know....the answers are readily available from the web.
LE and the military means domestic and international LE and military services. This is NOT about which is better, or which YOU like better. Use your research skills if you don't know....the answers are readily available from the web.
Military is obviously the Beretta. Locally(and elsewhere), the Beretta is pretty frequent with most police departments too. So if I had to count US Armed Forces AND LE Beretta would have to win, obviously. The inclusion of military makes Beretta the winner. H&K has a pretty strong precense among SOCOM(Mk23 ring a bell?).
Not sure you need a poll for this, as you said. It's not opinion, it's empirical fact. Glock has something like 70% of the US LE market, last I saw. I know that all the orders Galco gets from UK cops are also for Glocks. Galco sells more Glock holsters than anything. In fact, if you left off 1911s and J-frame Smiths, I think we'd literally sell more Glock holsters than all other guns combined.
Military contracts are more political - witness the current US service pistol. I don't think SOCOM has more than a few Mk. 23s in inventory, by the way, and every single high-speed guy I've ever talked to (including SF, USMC Force Recon, Pathfinder, Ranger) has preferred the 1911 or the M9 - if he gave a crap about pistols at all. The market for the Mk. 23 is so tiny Galco doesn't even bother to make holsters for it.
I'm not sure either group can be classified generally as "pros" (except that some of them carry guns in the course of getting paid). Most cops I see at the range are pretty average shooters, though their gunhandling is usually safer than Joe Sixpack's. Most soldiers are abysmal shots, and the Big Army is more afraid of its own weapons than the enemy, anyway. Marines are generally better rifle shots, but pistol training is sparse and pretty lousy in the military.
I believe that is correct, Glock has 60-70% of the LE market. Locally, the large city PD is carrying S&W in both 9mm and 45. The new recruits are coming out onto the streets with the M&P40. The suburban departments I see vary from Glock, Beretta, Sig and Smith.
World wide. Glock I would say hands down.
Can not reply I am not working for a police dept.
I have 2 LEO friends that are carrying a Glock and a Beretta 96D. Not sure about anywhere else, but in my area it's Glock and Beretta.
When I see police in various cities I always look to see what they are carrying. I seem to see Glock the most. Certainly not a scientific study on my part but just an observation.
Id also have to agree with Glock being the most widely used.
And I dunno about anyone else, but Ive noticed alot of officers carrying Sigs aswell, more specifically P229's.
worldwide, probably the CZ models, used a lot in Europe, much more than Glocks......
Up here almost all the SO uses 1911's.
Down here most city PD carry Glocks. Texas DPS carries Sigs. Deputies and Constables carry mostly 1911s. Like the others, just an observation.
I'm just auditing this course, so if I flunk this test, it don't matter.
:goofy: :smt102 :watching:
Glock is GOD! *I could be wrong.*
I know of two counties in the Atlanta area that carry glock. I don't know about the rest. I stay away from there as much as possible. Ga. DNR and GBI do too as far as I know.
Here in Tuscaloosa, AL, the city issues Sig 220 or 229.:smt067 :smt068 :smt071
Around here it is Glocks used by more LE departments.
I was looking through one of my gun mags and came upon a CZ ad that claimed that their guns were the most widely used by police/military/security worldwide...
For Law Enforcement which out numbers the Military I believe that it is the Glock. My department issues the Sig Pro 2340 DAO in 357 Sig. The Sig 226 In 9mm +P+ is issued by an adjoining town while the bigger town north of us issues 40 S&W Glocks. The State Police issue 4506 Smith & Wessons in .45 acp. Several posters Mentioned PROs but I do not feel that most Police officers considers themselves Gun Professionals unless they are on SWAT or SERT Teams or Attached to the Firearms Training function. For the Line Officer the Firearm is just a thing he carries just in case. I have told by officers that a good pen is more important to them than their duty weapon.
The Glock has a big following as it is easy to carry and simple to use and reliable even following missuse. Many of the Gun Pros do us the 1911 Colt design.
Here in Northern Florida they use Glocks. I think .40's, but they are big on their Glocks. LE further west in Florida seem to use Berettas, from all the fucking cops that pulled me over that way. In the tiny town in Wisconsin I used to live in, they carried Smith .40 automatics. Can't remember what model, 4506 or something like that. They were fullsize, not compacts.
All of the LEOs around Kansas and Kansas City, MO that I've seen have Glocks. Whenever we fly into little po-dunk towns, LEOs often stop by the plane to chat and every one has had a Glock. Even the ambulance drivers/security guards at the local hospital in Wichita have Glocks, although one older guy has a larger revolver.
Orlando PD Glock
Orange Cty Sher. Glock
Seminole Cty Sher. Glock
The US Military Beretta
It would be interesting to know what the actul number of Berettas in service is, vs the number of Glocks.
I'm guessing there are more cops than foot soldiers with a US flag on their shoulder. And with 70+% of departments issuing Glocks... it would be a pretty tight race.
Internationally???? who knows.
I see lots of M9s here, but mainly they are secondary weapons. However, all MP and most SECFOR units issue all their soldiers pistols, invariably the M9.
The M9 works fine, being robust and reliable, but it certainly wasn't designed by a shooter. But the military has a history of buying guns not completely suitable to its actual needs. Look at the M16A2.
Sigs here mostly
austria (GLOCK)sold 288,132 pistols in 2005
that is more than S&W and Ruger pistols COMBINED
data from "shooting industry"
ruger 125,057
also Glock has a marketing program for LE - after 3 years turn it in for $300and get a new Glock for the difference

Kansas City, Mo. • For several hours Wednesday, tornados scared two states already raw from the Joplin, Mo., disaster.
One tornado tore into Sedalia, Mo., while others dipped suddenly out of rain clouds and hopped at least a half dozen times across the Kansas City area.
Thanks partly to renewed awareness of dangers from tornados, injuries Wednesday were few.
About 50 people huddled in an Overland Park, Kan., store's freezer to wait out the storm. Even at Kansas City Hall, in Kansas City, Mo., out of the direct path of the storm, hundreds crowded into the basement, first floor and stairwells for a half hour.
And other good news: The oppressive weather system that began the day before with killer tornados in Oklahoma and Kansas has finally moved off.
Wednesday's tornados were unlike the monster that plowed through Joplin, staying on the ground for six miles.
In meteorological terms, these storm clouds were called "cold-core low-topped supercells," quite capable of producing many dancing funnel clouds.
The strongest hit came in Sedalia, where a quarter- to half-mile-wide tornado crumpled a trailer park, damaged homes and businesses and injured 15 to 25 people.
Larry Ward, Sedalia's acting police chief, described the injured as "walking wounded."
Ward said residents were more alert because of the deadly Joplin, Mo., tornado on Sunday.
"It was on their minds, it's been on everybody's minds throughout the state, throughout our country," he said. "Folks are aware of it, and they know if the alarms are sounded, they need to take cover."
In Johnson County, Kan., the National Weather Service took reports of six to 10 brief tornado touchdowns late in the morning, mostly in Overland Park.
Death toll in three states rises to 15
Violent storms with winds of more than 150 mph slammed into a chunk of the central U.S. overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, killing at least 15 people in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas, flattening homes, crushing cars and ripping apart a rural Arkansas fire station. The high-powered storms arrived Tuesday night and early Wednesday, just days after a massive tornado tore up the southwest Missouri city of Joplin and killed 125 people.
