Effect of alfalfa silage storage structure and roasting corn on production and ruminal metabolism of lactating dairy cows [abstract]. Journal of Dairy Science. 90 (supplement 1):345. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine if feeding roasted corn as principal concentrate source, would improve production and nutrient utilization when supplemented to lactating cows fed one of 3 different alfalfa silages (AS). Forty-two lactating Holstein cows (6 fitted with ruminal cannulas) averaging 77 DIM and producing 43 kg milk/d pretrial were assigned to 2 cyclic change-over designs. Treatments were AS, ensiled in bag, bunker, or O2-limiting tower silo supplemented with ground shelled corn (GSC) or roasted GSC (RGSC). Experimental diets contained 40% AS, 15% corn silage and 35% of either GSC or RGSC on DM basis. No significant interactions between AS and corn sources were detected for any production trait. Although chemical composition of the 3 AS was similar, feeding AS from the O2-limiting tower silo elicited positive production responses (P<0.01). Yields of 3.5% FCM and fat were increased 1.7 kg/d and 150 g/d, and milk fat content was increased 0.3%, when cows were fed diets based on AS from the O2-limiting silo compared with the other 2 AS. The responses in milk fat were paralleled by an average increase in ADF digestibility of 270 g/d for cows fed AS from the O2-limiting silo. However, ruminal concentrations of lipogenic VFA were unchanged with AS source. Cows fed RGSC consumed 0.6 kg/d more DM and yielded 30 g/d more protein and 50 g/d more lactose than cows fed GSC diets (P=0.02). There was no evidence of increased total tract digestibility of OM or starch, or reduced ruminal NH3 concentration, when feeding RGSC. Free AA increased, and isovalerate decreased in rumen fluid from cows fed RGSC diets (P<0.01). However, responses in production with roasted corn were mainly due to increased DMI, which increased the supply of energy and nutrients available for synthesis of milk and milk components.

Aaron Renier. I have learned so many things from Aaron over the years, it's not even funny. He is without a doubt one of the most talented creative people I have ever met and I feel so lucky that he is one of my friends. He also has very dynamic compositions in his illustration work and I thought he might be able to help me out of this particular rut. I sent him the sketches I had so far and he gave me two excellent pieces of advice:
1) Stop doing your sketches in color! Color makes the ideas seem too finished and when editors/publishers are looking at them, it's easier for them to dismiss the idea altogether instead of seeing it as a group of components which can be edited, moved around or combined with other ideas.
2) Only design the front cover! The front cover is what will be seen online, or on a book shelf (if you are lucky!), so it should be designed as an independent unit. I was letting the back cover designs influence my front cover decisions, which were leading things astray.
This advice seems so obvious! In fact, I have even given this same advice to others before! Oh well, I couldn't see it until Aaron pointed it out to me, and I was glad that he did! We also talked a lot about Basewood and he encouraged me to somehow get the dragon on the cover, because "dragons are cool." Truer words have never been spoken!
So! I took all the sketches I had made so far and 1) eliminated the color and 2) cropped out the back covers. I then created four new dragon-themed sketches and made a handout with all of the sketches (click to view bigger):

THE Scout Association should be investigated to ensure allegations about its leaders do not remain ignored, an MP has said.
Alyn and Deeside MP Mark Tami has called for an investigation into the youth organisation to ensure allegations made against Scout leaders do not remain unheard.
His comments follow the prosecution of former assistant Scoutmaster Martyn Tucker.
Tucker, 68, of Sealand Road, Chester, was jailed for 12 years for 26 offences against boys in the 1960s and '70s.
Mold Crown Court heard how the Scouts knew about allegations made about Tucker's behaviour but had failed to act.
Mr Tami said: "They [the Scouts] should be looked in to in this case as there were concerns raise about Martyn Tucker many years ago but nothing appeared to be done about it.
"This seems to be a common theme in sex assault cases when allegations are made but seem to go ignored.
"This is not acceptable and I hope that the scouts can look in to this to ensure nothing like this ever happens again."
Mr Tami has written to the Scout Association to register his concerns.
During his trial at Mold Crown Court on Tuesday, it was heard how Tucker abused Scouts when he was assistant Scoutmaster of the Whitchurch troop in Shropshire.
He also abused others while the manager of Foster's menswear in the town, taking boys to the shop's changing rooms.
Tucker took victims to Bristol and instructed them to indulge in sex acts with another unknown man.
While on a canoe weekend in Llangollen he was joined by an unknown primary school teacher who also indulged in sex acts with the scouts.
He would visit a farm at Pontybodkin in Flintshire, owned by a member of his family at the time, for outdoor activities but Tucker and the teacher abused scouts there.
Tucker, who worked for the former Alyn and Deeside and Delyn councils before being a legal executive dealing in social welfare issues for various Chester solicitors, admitted a total of 26 sexual offences.

Death Cab for Cutie, Codes and Keys
It would be a little unrealistic to expect our favorite bands to continue to make records that sound just like the one we fell in love with. So I realized that to enjoy Codes and Keys, the seventh studio album from Bellingham, Wash., indie kings Death Cab for Cutie, I'd have to realize it wasn't going to dabble in the same sonic or lyrical territory as their 2003 masterpiece Transatlanticsm. It really wouldn't make sense to expect Ben Gibbard to lend his distinctive tenor to lyrics about heartbreak, given the fact that he's now married to hipster dream girl Zooey Deschanel. He even moved to Los Angeles, a city he lyrically scorned in "Why You'd Want to Live Here" from 2001's The Photo Album. As years pass, change is inevitable. That's why it's important to know the Death Cab that was featured on The O.C. what seems like 20 years ago isn't the same band you'll find on Codes and Keys. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Codes and Keys boasts strong production from guitarist Chris Walla, who has been at the helm for all of the band's full-lengths. In an interview with NPR, Walla noted a difference in direction on this record, saying, "It just seemed like a good time to not make a really guitar-centric, guitar-focused record."
The band succeeds in scaling back the guitar dominance with bouncy piano lines and lilting strings guiding the title track. Even though it barely exceeds three minutes, "Codes and Keys" seems very spacious, with Gibbard ruminating on the walls we build to protect ourselves from the world. "Monday Morning" is anchored by Nick Harmer's pulsing bass, as well as some lively synths.
Even with the lesser emphasis on guitar, Walla doesn't sit this one out. The first single, "You Are a Tourist," features one of the more memorable guitar hooks in Death Cab's catalog. The lyrics seem to provide autobiographical evidence of the reason behind Gibbard's move as he sings, "f you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born, then it's time to go.
Unfortunately, the album stumbles on its most experimental track, "Unobstructed Views," a six-minute, piano-heavy song that builds slowly in the vein of "I Will Possess Your Heart" but fails to deliver a sufficient payoff given the time you've invested.
With "St. Peter's Cathedral" Gibbard revisits some lyrical themes he explored on "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," one of Death Cab's most successful singles from 2005's Plans. In it, he describes a grand cathedral, wondering whether those who enter its doors are really better off, and if there is such a thing as a life after this one. Sadly, he concludes "there's nothing past this," a refrain that is accompanied by airy "bah-dums" during the crescendo. While I'm not in agreement with Mr. Gibbard about the finality of our life on this earth, I commend his honesty in exploring such themes. It's also one of the more musically complete songs on the record, with an uplifting feel that greatly contrasts the lyrics.
Codes and Keys is a very good record, but it just misses being a great record. There is no doubt that Death Cab for Cutie have matured. This record is well-executed and perhaps more sure of itself than previous efforts, but mature doesn't have to mean boring. Codes and Keys gets better with each listen, especially the slow burn of "Doors Unlocked and Open," which proves to be one of the record's strongest tracks about the fifth time through.
So Death Cab for Cutie is growing up—but don't think they've lost everything that made you love them. There is still a glimmer of youth in this band, evidenced when Gibbard sings on the short but sweet closer, "though winter's advancing, we'll stay young, go dancing."

I think it's overall a better album than Narrow Stairs was. It's still too early for me to tell if any of the songs will resonate with me quite as much as some of the same tracks Adam mentions in his article, but at the end of the day, an "OK" Death Cab album is still better than 83% of anything else that's out there.
I think the only thing missing from DCFC's "codes and keys" is their never ending ability to create great break up songs. Their melodies are still solid, their lyrics still witty. The only thing this album "lacks" is a 4 minute whine about some ex. Eventually, you get over that ex and move on. Maybe buy your first small condo and get a dog and think hopeful thoughts about being an adult. People who grew up with DCFC have grown up. God knows we can still go back to "someday you will be loved" when we want to wallow in that horrible college memory.
I've listened to DCFC since I was an angsty teenager. I find it refreshing to see Gibbard writing grown up songs as he and his listeners grow up...

Kaoru Ishikawa developed the concept of Quality Circles and Cause and Effect (Fishborne) Diagram.
Kaoru Ishikawa was born in 1915 in Tokyo. He graduated from Tokyo University in 1939 with an engineering degree in applied chemistry. Following a short time in the military he worked for the Nissan Liquid Fuel Company from 1941 – 1947 before becoming an associate professor at the University of Tokyo. In 1978 he became president of the Musashi Institute of Technology.
Ishikawa wanted to change the way people think about work. He challenged managers who were content to merely improve a product's quality, instead insisting that quality improvement can always go one step further. He promoted the concept of company wide quality control that called for continued customer service. This level of service would extend throughout the company, including all levels of management and indeed even reaching into the every day lives of those involved. According to Ishikawa the process of continuous quality improvement can ALWAYS be taken one step further.
In 1960 Ishikawa, in conjunction with JUSE, developed the concept of Quality Circles, and in close association with Nippon Telephone & Telegraph, he experimented on what effect the "leading hand" could have on quality. Quality Circles soon became very popular and formed an important link to Total Quality Management systems (TQM) in over 50 countries. Ishikawa subsequently published two books on Quality Circles; QC Circle Koryo and How to Operate QC Circle Activities.
Ishikawa is also credited with developing the Cause and Effect Diagram, also known as the Ishikawa Diagram or more simplistic Fishbone Diagram. With the use of this diagram the user can see all the possible causes of any given result, and hopefully identity the root process of imperfections, thusly allowing quality improvement to be driven from the "bottom up".
In addition to his own developments, Iskikawa drew on, and expanded upon ideas and principles from other notable quality management gurus, even expanding Deming's PDCA model into a six step plan:
1. Determine goals and targets
2. Determine methods of reaching goals
3. Engage in education and training
4. Implement work
5. Check the efforts of implementation
5. Take appropriate action
Ishikawa's relentless pursuit of taking quality improvement one step further guarantees his status as a guru of continuous quality improvement, his legacy will remain within the TQM of businesses across the globe for many years to come.
Awards of Kaoru Ishikawa
-1972 American Society for Quality's Eugene L. Grant Award
-1977 Blue Ribbon Medal by the Japanese Government for achievements in industrial standardization
-1988 Walter A. Shewhart Medal
-1988 Awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasures, Second Class, by the Japanese government.

I need help on what exhaust i should get!!!
Here are the options i am looking at:
1. Gale Banks Monster (Cat-Back) Exhaust. The kit that provides the muffler to the exhaust tip.
2. A Flow-master 40 series American Thunder with a Dynomax Tail pipe w/ a three inch tip.
I would greatly appreciate the comments and preferences towards both of these set ups of any other options that i should get.
I really would like a exhaust that has a deep throaty sound. I have always had a loud exhaust on my cars and i would love to do the same i with this jeep. Right now i do not have a cat.-converter on it as well.
Also give opinions if i should even bother throwing a exhaust on this jeep, thanks night.
Well, all I can add is that my next exhaust will be a Flowmaster 40... I have a Dynomax turbo now, and while it's better than stock, it isn't audible enough to suit me... I know nothing of the Banks, except that they are pretty $$$ and I don't want to spend that much on something to get bashed up on the trails....
Well I'm looking to get a flowmaster 40 and just a dynomax tailpipe no turbo pipe or anything but also a front pipe any suggestions?
I've got the flowmaster 40 with a turndown (no tailpipe). And everyone thinks I've got a v8. Then I pop the hood and reveal my four banger :D:punk:
Where did u purchase the 40???
I did a new CAT, piping, and Flowmaster 40 series and had a local shop weld it all in for like $400.
Should I stick with the 2.25 pipes or get 2.75 or something...?
I like the sound of the flowmaster 40, I pieced my exhaust together from a muffler shop, just had them bend it, I did go with a hi-flow cat and used all stainless pipes, I got about $550 into it (everything) and installed it myself (had a lift available) I was pretty happy with the cost considering it's stainless, my pipes are 2.25.
Any other opinons???
i actually have an aero turbine muffler, and will be getting a local custom exhaust place to put it in as well as new pipes (looking into staineless). So i actually have no idea how it sounds (aside from a youtube clip i found, link below), but i think it should sound pretty good. I didnt want something TOO TOO throaty, but I'll let you guys know when all is said and done. see if i can't post a video or something...
YouTube - 1993 Jeep Wrangler w/ Aero Exhaust
I think I'll get a 40 series and a new pipe for front and rear, thoughts???!
Sounds like a plan. I think you'll be happy with the sound of the 40.
Ya I think that it will be alright anyone wanna say other wise.
I was gonna get a 40 series for my pick up awhile back before i sold it. And when i was looking into them everyone i talked to always said for the money they are an excelllent muffler all around. An i think they sound great too. Thats the route i would go. Goodluck!

- Hockey welcomes a 'pleasing set of numbers'
- What the GDP figure for June really means
- The Pulse Live politics blog with Judith Ireland
A "beautiful set of numbers" were the words used by former treasurer Paul Keating to describe the December 1989 national accounts. A few months later the economy slid into recession.
On Wednesday Joe Hockey used the words "a pleasing set of numbers". The numbers are much less pleasing than he is trying to suggest.
The Australian economy grew 0.5 per cent in the June quarter, a slightly better result than expected. But all of the growth (in fact much more than all) was accounted for by a 0.9 per cent jump in the stock of unsold goods.
Stocks add to growth when converted into statistics. But unless they are being built up ahead of a growth in sales of those stocks they are a bad sign. Where they are being built up because people aren't buying, they are an awful sign.
Consumer spending climbed a better-than-expected 0.5 per cent, so there's hope, but it's far from the soundest foundation on which to base talk of an economic upturn.
After contributing so much for so long, mining shrank the economy by 0.2 per cent in the June quarter. Not because it's not bringing in money but because it is bringing in less than it did in the March quarter.
Australia's terms of trade slid an extraordinary 7.9 per cent as iron ore prices slid to fresh lows. On Wednesday the price hit $US86.70 a tonne, near a five-year low.
What will drive the economy, deliver that "real and building momentum" the Treasurer speaks of?
Speaking just after the national accounts were released Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens said the momentum was unlikely to come from more household borrowing. There was already enough. Nor was it likely to come from government. Most governments are trying to contain their borrowing. That leaves businesses, especially non-mining businesses given what's happening to miners.
Eventually he said they would abandon caution. At some point in the future shareholders will stop asking about cost-cutting and ask "where's your growth plan?"

There is no doubt that GC is class warfare- straight from the parody of Marxist-Leninist heritage: "All are equal; some are more equal than others.....".
To combat this:
1) Nationalist, anti-Globalist movement.
2) Severe tax penalties for corporations of American origination "outsourcing" more than 5% of core/support services.
3) Reciprocal trade laws; ie, Japan allows 10,000 US-made autos in, per annum, with a 40% tarriff, we reflect their policies.
4) Civil liberties/social services do not apply to non-citizens. Period.
5) Voter validation. Drivers license and SS card required to vote.
6) English as the National Language.
If one feels any or all of these to be discriminatory/racist, I would commend Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire to their immediate attention. A Constitutional Republic cannot survive globalistic inclusivism. If the Dark Ages sound like a period of history that was fun to live in, we should certainly continue as we have been.........:tired:
Wow I thought I might get flamed on this one but it seems that once again I'm in good company. The point of my argument was to find the common denominator for the anti movement. The ones at the top know better but the sheeple still follow them. This dose seem to tie together the Hollywood, political, media, and billionaire types in to one agenda. They don't want to just take guns they want your freedom and independence too. That was one of the conclusions to Kople's book; the more freedom people have the greater the occurrence of crime. So what do we do become a fascist state to eliminate crime? Great freedom comes with even greater responsibility. BTW Kople's book did point out gun control was started along with drug control to keep African Americans under control. In other countries it was the fear of the anarchists and bolshivics ruining the corporate economy.
An article in Virginia's official university law review called for a "prohibitive tax... on the privilege" of selling handguns as a way of disarming "the son of Ham", whose "cowardly practice of `toting' guns has been one of the most fruitful sources of crime... Let a negro board a railroad train with a quart of mean whiskey and a pistol in his grip and the chances are that there will be a murder, or at least a row, before he alights." -Comment, Carrying Concealed Weapons, 15 Va L. Reg. 391, 391-92 (1909), George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal, Vol. 2, No. 1, "Gun Control and Racism," Stefan Tahmassebi, 1991, p. 75]
"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." -Hillary Clinton, 1993
"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State." -Heinrich Himmler
"Our ultimate goal total control of handguns in the United States is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors totally illegal." -Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., "A Reporter At Large: Handguns," The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
"Yes, I'm for an outright ban [on handguns]." -Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
"I honestly think and I am not an expert on the amendments I think the only people in this nation who should be allowed to own guns are police officers. I don't care if you want to hunt, I don't care if you think it's your right. I say, 'Sorry. It is 1999, we have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun and if you do own a gun, I think you should go to prison.'" -Rosie O'Donnell, April 21, 1999
"[The United States] can't be so fixed on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..." - President Bill Clinton March 1, 1993 during a press conference in Piscataway, NJ.
"Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States repealing the Second Amendment to the Constitution." - H.J. Res. 81, Jan.27, 1993.
AND from that glittering jewel of colossal ignorance, Dianne Feinstein...
(notice the last paragraph, where it is OK for HER to have a concealed weapon, to bad about the rest of us serfs.)
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them... "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in," I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here." -U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, CBS-TV's "60 Minutes," February 5, 1995, speaking about her authorship of the 1994 "assault weapons" ban
"Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe." -U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, quoted by the Associated Press, November 18, 1993
"Because less than twenty years ago I was the target of a terrorist group. It was the New World Liberation Front. They blew up power stations and put a bomb at my home when my husband was dying of cancer. And the bomb didn't detonate. ... I was very lucky. But, I thought of what might have happened. Later the same group shot out all the windows of my home" "And, I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I'd walk to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me." -U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat from California
My feeling is that some gun control is a class tool but gun bans and overly restricting carry is not.
The affluent are outnumber by the "lower classes" so they want to even the odds by making sure they have access to guns while making it more difficult for those "less desirable" to have access to them.
Barriers to entry rather than bans. Restrict full-auto ownership so it costs a 5 figure sum to buy a full-auto weapon, check people background to make sure they are the "right kind" of person before issuing CCW permit etc.
At the end of the day the rich know that criminals will always be able to get cheap illegal guns, they would be crazy to restrict gun ownership too much as that would leave them defenceless.
I think this is also a part of the liberal response to handguns. By banning them they will "feel" safe. No matter that they will actually be less safe. It's not reality that counts but how they feel. Not facts, emotions.Quote:
"Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe." -U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, quoted by the Associated Press, November 18, 1993
There is also a definite element of elitism in the whole process. While Rosie O'Donnell can spout her garbage, every time she walks out the door she has an armed body guard with her.
you forgot the best quote from King George the Second, when lobbying Senators for passage of the Patriot Act last year said,
The Constitution is just a G*dD*amn piece of paper.
Tells you how the "Elites and the Politicians" really feel about the Contract between the US Government and the US Citizens.
Jungle Work
Hey Jungle, you forgot that President Reagan banned any further production or importation of "machine guns" that could be transferred to private citizens in 1986.
I joined the NRA as a Life Member as a form of protest against the elite. I do believe that gun control is a form of class warfare but I do weigh that against the fact that I'm a Hispanic male originating from the projects of Harlem where (in the five boroughs of NYC) the Sullivan Law and its supporters reigns supreme. I think that law came about thanks for the 19th Century/early 20th Century views of the (then) Irish political machine that felt threatened by the new wave of (Italian and other European) immigrants coming to NYC in droves. Trying to institute some controls...control of the gun was one way to stifle freedom to those new Americans.
I have thought on this a lot. It does not seem to me to be a class issue so much as an ideological issue. It is the left-wingers against the right-wingers. Behind those labels are the fundamental personality issues--what the person's concept/opinion is of the use of force.Quote:

If the state has done its job perfectly, everyone will be perfect and force will not need to be used. We only then need to explain to people where their mistakes are and, being enlightened, they will correct themselves automatically.
Right-wingers believe that the individual is the supreme entity (on Earth), and should be able to use force to protect himself and even to advance himself. The state is a necessary evil; it must be strong enough to provide clean drinking water, bridges and roads, but not so strong as to interfere with the natural life of its citizens. It should certainly not be the final arbiter on the rights of its citizens.
You can see where this leads: The LW believes in the word (explaining everything); the RW believes in the act (doing everything).
LWers actually believe that if people aren't obeying the law, more signs will make their transgressions clear to them. Or more laws. But don't enforce any laws--that would entail (ugh) the use of force. RW don't believe in too much palaver; they just want to get things done, and a forceful act is usually the most efficient way.
That attraction to the written word is why the left is so entranced with the media, and essentially controls it in the upper circles. And the right's attraction to the deed is why we have successfully (and nearly silenbtly) obtained "shall isue" CCW laws in what--36? states, all the while the left is fulminating daily against private guns and the pernicious individual use of force they represent.
(For more along these lines, see: "WHY IS THE LEFT AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO OWN GUNS?" about 3/4 of the way down at: http://www.combatcarry.com/vbulletin...reply&p=132198)
and talking to other gunowner, we ALL know the constitution better than Justice Steavens. Since the education system has done everything to remove every vestige of our heritage, I really believe it is because we stronger to our rights. Even the RINOs don't like conservatives because we don't comprimise.
Shoot, it's easier for a marxist to get control if the populace has no means of resistence. Marx himself called for gun control because of this reason. Thus all incarnations from National Socialism, to the USSR to the modern liberal they realize that.
Gun owners are hated for the some of the same reasons Christians are hated, including the fact we don't kowtow to them.
I also think some of it is jelosy. Because the modern marxist (using the French model during the riots this last year) would rather just lie down and hope for the best. Those of us who carry, continue the legacy of our forefathers, hoping that we never have to draw in anger but refusing to be victims. I'm just guessing, but I don't think they can handle the thought of someone having enough guts to stand up to evil.

I think we agree that we are talking about people control not gun control. It seem in 1934 they wouldn't put people in jail for misuse of firearms- lets just make it harder for a law abiding citzen. True story-A guy gets arrested for carrying a gun is offered 1 year probation as a plea. He decides to take his chances at a jury trial. It takes 5 days to go through the trial. He is found guilty. The Judge sentences him to.....
1 year probation.

In fact, the company has gone one further by offering support for up to 4 monitors (a typical configuration might be 3×1 and then another monitor up top, center). Given just how powerful todays GPUs are, its nice to have the option to stick to just one for multi-monitor gaming."
As far as I was aware at the time, that spanned the entire Kepler line - as long as the GPU has that many video connectors, of course. That pretty much rules out most of the low-end, but 660 and up should handle it no problem.

Coronation Street: Robert Preston to show 'darker side' as Tristan Gemmill teases character's secretsITV soap fans could also see the Bistro chef reunite with Tracy Barlow
Wednesday, January 06, 2016
CORONATION Street fans are going to see a darker side to a Weatherfield resident.
Since Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill) arrived on the cobbles, he has been the calming influence in Tracy Barlow's life.
However, over recent weeks viewers have seen a different side to the Bistro's chef, including his one night stand with Carla Connor.
And it looks set to get darker as actor Tristan revealed that the character could get worse.
"He's admitted to Leanne that he's had anger issues in the past and occasionally you do see a flash of something," the actor said according to Digital Spy.
"Maybe he's got more of a history, a few secrets locked away.
Soap stars' drastic off-screen makeovers
"At the moment he's in control of everything but there's a hint that if his back was against the wall then maybe he could do darker things."
Oh dear!
Hinting that Robert and Tracy could get back together, Tristan added: "He's deeply hurt by what's happened, he was about to propose to her when he heard she'd been with an old flame. He's angry about that but deep down Tracy's the one that he loves and that doesn't go away so quickly.
"He's got that anger but he can't get rid of the emotion of where that comes from. He tries to block that out by focussing on his work and trying to get a share of the business."

text: Posted February 5, 2013 I don't agree with you, but I applaud your well-written arguments. Pie! The problem I think with what you said is that it's not much different from the other positions. Is Byron Bell going to develop? What about Siliatolu? Fua? At the end of the day, there's question marks in multiple positions and we're not gonna sit and wait on all of them. Note that I'm not saying that it won't be a wideout. Heck, I think that most generic claims in the form of "they'll draft position X and not Y" are based on over-simplistic ways of thinking. Every draft prospect is going to be evaluated in their own right; their positions aren't the be all end all. If we do draft a WR, or any other position for that matter, it'll because of the individual talents present in that prospect, not just because 'we need that position'.

Publisher's Description▼▲
"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves."
We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible."
"The Four Loves deserves to become a minor classic as a modern mirror of our souls, a mirror of the virtues and failings of human loving." —New York Times Book Review
"Lewis has a keen eye, a large measure of human sympathy, wit, and a command of simple words." —Times Literary Supplement
C. S. (Clive Staples) Lewis (1898-1963), one of the great writers of the twentieth century, also continues to be one of our most influential Christian thinkers. He wrote more than thirty books, both popular and scholarly, including The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, Mere Christianity, and Surprised by Joy.

- Release Date 2012-02-13
- Label Tronic
- Catalog TR80
Following bombs from Christian Smith and Dosem in January, Tronic welcome Jay Lumen on board for a debut for Smiths bourgeoning label. Having been a consistent supporter of Jays recent output for Great Stuff, Form, Mistakes Music and 100%% Pure, it was a priority for Christian to sign a Lumen release ASAP and so it is with great excitement that Tronic present his Babel EP so early in 2012. Whatever You Want kicks off this two-track EP, setting a percussive feel and deep intensity to create a low-slung groove of shunting beats and floor-shaking sub-bass tones that contrasts with the shimmering melodic hypnosis in the break. Babel counters with an up-tempo, percussive workout that draws its diverse elements from a melting pot of sampling delights. Unintelligible garbled speech, Arabian horns, deliciously off-kilter bass notes this has it all!

Open season at home April 3, against Tennessee
By Pensacola Blue Wahoos | August 23, 2013 1:04 PM ET
The fun and excitement of Blue Wahoos baseball will awake from offseason hibernation beginning on Thursday, April 3 when the Tennessee Smokies come to town to open the 2014 schedule. The complete promotional schedule will be finalized over the winter, but one thing is certain, 2014 will be filled with exciting giveaways and hilarious entertainment acts to keep up the excitement in Pensacola Bayfront Stadium.
Fans can expect more of the same and even better customer service and fan experience next season that led to a 93% fan satisfaction rate in 2013. Many of the familiar faces fans see on a daily basis will be back after a year which had an incredible employee engagement rate of 99% among gameday staff.
Fireworks are back on all 10 Saturday nights and three Out of School Tuesdays on July 22 and August 12 & 25. On July 3, the Blue Wahoos will celebrate Independence Day early, with a special mega fireworks extravaganza. All told, there will be 14 fireworks shows at the Bayfront Stadium in 2014.
Pensacola will play host to Sunshine State rival Jacksonville 15 times and Bay-to-Bay rival Mobile for 10 games. Jacksonville will make its first trip to the Bayfront Stadium May 15-19. The first installment of the Bay-to-Bay series with Mobile will happen July 21-25. The Blue Wahoos will open the season with 15 home games in April. Pensacola will be home for 16 games in May, 11 in June, 13 games in July and 15 contests in August.
The first half ends on June 15 before the three-day Southern League All-Star Break in Chattanooga June 16-18 with the game on the Tuesday, June 17. The 140 game schedule will be completed in 152 with Pensacola closing out the season with a five game set in Birmingham August 28-September 1.
Season tickets for the 2014 season will go on sale in September. For more information on tickets plans for next season call the Blue Wahoos offices at (850) 934-8444.

How to describe the cuisine that has evolved from an Australian take on Japanese cooking? Japaneasy will do. Easy-peasy it is not, and it is worth noting that the two main proponents in London both spent formative years working for Nobuyaki "Nobu" Matsuhisa.
Ross Shonhan, who comes from Queensland, worked at Nobu in Dallas and later became head chef at London's Zuma before opening Bone Daddies and then Flesh & Buns. Scott Hallsworth, chef/co-founder of Kurobuta, which has just opened at its permanent address in what we are enjoined to call Connaught Village, comes from near Perth. For six years he worked at Nobu London, leaving as head chef.
The two chaps style Flesh & Buns and Kurobuta as izakaya, a Japanese term sometimes equated (very loosely) with pub, but anyway defining a relatively casual establishment where eating facilitates drinking. At both these examples hopeless acoustics rendering the spaces sensory deprivation chambers seem mandatory.
In a reversal of the usual trajectory of foreign cuisines in London, Japanese has gone the route from authentic and earnest to somewhat ersatz and populist.
At dinner, four of us order what is probably too much from a menu divided by headings that include Snack, Cold/Raw/Salad, Junk Food Japan, Something Crunchy, Significant Others, Maki and Sushi. It is not so much an overload in quantity, more a remorseless hammering of the tastebuds by strident flavours and exaggerations of salt and sweet. And you know what? You can tire of umami.
At the start, flamed edamame with sake, lemon, butter and Maldon salt lift these do-gooders into a new realm. And because I love the taste of ginger I don't mind at all an overdose in the honey and soy dressing on the grains and greens salad. Slices of barbecued pork belly in steamed buns with spicy peanut soy make a deep bow in the direction of David Chang at Momofuko. Only someone with a heart of stone could resist.
Nasu dengaku is so fondant it could be chunks of banana rather than aubergine coated in sticky miso and served with candied walnuts. Beef fillet tataki with onion ponzu and garlic crisps possesses a sourness in not at all a good way. Tea-smoked lamb with smoky nasu (miso) and spicy Korean miso could never be accused of subtlety and tuna sashimi with truffle ponzu red onions and green chillies layered onto a disc of pizza dough seems to be done just because you can; there's no gastronomic rationale.
At lunch a couple of days later we can see clearly the food and menus — in the evening when lights are dimmed we were using phones as torches. Joe starts with a Kirin Ichiban beer, its head frozen in a special machine, and then we move on to sake, of which — sensibly — only about half a dozen varieties are offered. The mainly antipodean staff continue being cheerful and upbeat, the booming playlist less so.
Scallop sashimi with kimchee butter and tobiko is a new low in inappropriate matching — raw, rich and irritating — but the best dish of both meals turns out to be sushi of sweet-and-sour snow crab with yuzu kosho mayo. Rice is tenderly warm, the shards of shellfish rosily pearlescent and the thin line of mayo a restrained sparky flourish.
The elaborate froufrou quality of the patisserie and desserts would work better following more nuanced food. The author of The Japanese Foie Gras Project (Jepson & Co) includes none of the fatted liver on his menu but that is probably sensible considering that Hallsworth wants Kurobuta to roll on and out. Speaking of which, the original "pop-up" has not popped down at 251 King's Road, SW3.
17-20 Kendal Street, W2 (020 3475 4158, kurobuta-london.com). Daily 11am-10.30pm. A meal for two with sake/wine, about £100 including 12.5 per cent service.

Direct Payday Loan
Direct Payday Loan offer those lacking cash the methods to cover necessary expenses and emergency outlays in times of financial distress. They should just be entered into; however, if the borrower possesses a great deal of knowledge regarding their specific terms. Use the tips in this post, and you will know whether you do have a good deal prior to you, or if you are about to fall into a risky trap.
When considering a payday loan, although it can be tempting be sure not to borrow over you can afford to pay back. For example, should they allow you to borrow $1000 and place your car as collateral, nevertheless, you only need $200, borrowing an excessive amount of can lead to the loss of your car if you are not able to repay the whole loan.
If you take out a payday loan, make certain you can afford to pay it back within up to fourteen days. Direct Payday Loan must be used only in emergencies, if you truly have no other alternatives. When you take out a cash payday loan, and can't pay it back straight away, a pair of things happen. First, you have to spend a fee to help keep re-extending your loan unless you can pay it off. Second, you keep getting charged a lot more interest.
Make sure you borrow only the bare minimum when applying for Direct Payday Loan. Many people have emergencies surface and need supplemental income, however the interest rate over a payday loan is significantly higher than what you should pay with a bank or plastic card company. Keep the costs of your respective loan lower by only borrowing things you need, and up with your payments,
If you do not know much about a payday loan but they are in desperate need of one, you might consult with a loan expert. This could even be a friend, co-worker, or loved one. You want to remember to be not getting tricked, so you know what you get into.
Sometimes we can all utilize a little help financially. If you find yourself using a financial problem, and you don't know where to turn, you can get a payday loan. A cash advance is a short-term loan that one could receive quickly. There can be a bit more involved, and these tips will allow you to understand further about what these loans are about.
Payday loan companies work around the laws to impose a fee the highest amount. These loans cost a degree (say $15 per $100 lent), that are just interest disguised as fees. As a result, a loan can accrue around ten times the interest rate of a standard loan.
Beware of falling in to a trap with Direct Payday Loan. In theory, you'll pay the loan back one to two weeks, then move ahead with your life. In reality, however, lots of people cannot afford to pay off the loan, as well as the balance keeps taking this lightly to their next paycheck, accumulating huge amounts of interest from the process. In this case, many people get into the job where they're able to never afford to the loan.
Whenever you are filling in an application to get a payday loan, it is wise to look for some form of writing saying your information will not be sold or distributed to anyone. Some payday lending sites will offer important information away like your address, ssn, etc. so be sure you avoid these businesses.
If you are considering receiving a payday loan, make certain you have a want to get it paid back right away. The loan company will give you to "help you" and extend your loan, if you can't pay it off straight away. This extension costs you a fee, plus additional interest, so that it does nothing positive for you personally. However, it earns the money company a nice profit.

BALTIMORE, Md. - Two days of weather delays and rescheduling was no match for the Red Foxes in their first day of action at UMBC's Dawg Pound Invitational on Sunday. In complete team efforts, the Marist softball earned an 8-2 win over Coppin State and a 7-0 shutout over Rhode Island in the nightcap. The combination four home runs, including two by Haley Birnbaum (Lido Beach, N.Y.) and just one earned run allowed by the pitching duo of Emily Osterhaus (Suwanee, Ga.) and Paige Lewis (Temecula, Calif.) led the Red Foxes on Sunday.
The Red Foxes' potent offense was on display from the team's first at bat on Saturday as they would manufacture two runs in the first inning on their way to a wire-to-wire 8-2 win over Coppin State.
Marist jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the strength of RBIs by freshman Nicole Cheek (Simi Valley, Calif.) and junior Alyssa Zahka (Lexington, Mass.)
After surrending a single run in the bottom of the first, the Red Foxes would respond with a solo run of their own in the top of the second inning when sophomore Taylor Kuzma (Freehold, N.J.), who entered the game as a pinch runner for Sarah Carmody (Camarillo, Calif.) scored on a Maureen Duddy (San Mateo, Calif.) sacrifice fly.
Junior pitcher Paige Lewis locked in after her first inning blemish and retired the Eagles in order in the second and third innings and only permitted a single in the fourth. This dominance in the circle would allow Marist to break the game open in the top of the fifth inning.
With the score 3-1, the Red Foxes would plate four runs to make it a 7-1 contest. Cheek led off the inning with a double to right-center field. One batter later, Zahka would drive her in with a home run over the left-center field wall. Senior Christina Lausch (Lancaster, Pa.) continued her hot start to the season with a single up the middle as the next batter. Junior Aly Klemmer (Hamilton, N.J.) made it four hits in the first four at bats of the inning as she doubled in Lausch. Two batters later, Klemmer would Marist's final score on an RBI single by freshman Kyrsten Van Natta (Maplewood, N.J.).
Game One's scoring would finalize at 8-2 after the Eagles and Red Foxes traded runs in the bottom of the fifth and top of the sixth; Klemmer drove in Marist's run on a sac fly.
Lewis would close out her second consecutive complete game with scoreless frames versus the Eagles in the sixth and seventh innings.
For the game, eight Red Foxes registered 10 hits.
Lewis finished with a complete game, five-hitter as she improved to 2-0 on the season. Her final pitching line was 7.0 innings pitched, two runs allowed (one earned) and five strikeouts.
The Red Foxes kept up their hot swinging in the second game of the day by immediately placing a three-spot on the scoreboard versus Rhode Island in the top of the first inning. Van Natta scored Marist's first run as the front-end of a double steal with Danielle Koltz (Chenango Bridge, N.Y.). After the steal, Cheek drove in Koltz with her first career home run.
Marist would extend its lead to 4-0 in the second inning when Birnbaum led off with a home run over the center field wall.
After a quiet third frame, the Red Foxes would plate two runs in the top of the fourth inning. Birnbaum would be the run producer once again as the junior cranked a home run to left field to drive in Janine Lalli (Eastchester, N.Y.). With these two home runs on the day, Birnbaum has hit 15 in her two-plus seasons with Marist.
Osterhaus controlled the Rams throughout the contest, not allowing more than one hit in any of the first six innings.
With Rhode Island's bats silenced by the senior hurler, the Red Foxes notched the final run of the game in the top of the sixth when Van Natta singled home Birnbaum.
For the contest, Marist outhit Rhode Island 8-6. Van Natta led the way with three base hits. Birnbaum finished the game with two hits, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBIs.
In the circle, Osterhaus threw a complete game six-hit shutout with seven strikeouts.
For the doubleheader, Marist hit .300 (18-60) and had a .371 (26-70) on-base percentage. Van Natta posted the highest batting average at .667 (4-6). Birnbaum, Cheek and Zahka all finished the day with three RBIs.
Lewis and Osterhaus combined for a 0.50 ERA (1 ER) and 12 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched.
Marist will close out its action at the UMBC Dawg Pound Invitational on Monday with games versus Rhode Island (11:15 am) and UMBC (1:30 pm).

Former collegiate head coach Scott Stoker is in his third season as the Miners' defensive coordinator.
The Miners improved dramatically on defense this past season. They dropped their points allowed per game from 39.3 in 2013 to 28.1. UTEP also yielded 368.1 yards per game, compared to 468.3 the year before. The Miners also increased their season totals in all defensive categories -- tackles for losses (from 45 to 76), sacks (13 to 26), interceptions (three to 11), pass break-ups (30 to 40), quarterback hurries (12 to 40) and forced fumbles (nine to 14).
On Oct. 25 at UTSA, the Miners put together perhaps the most complete defensive performance in school history. They not only blanked the Roadrunners 34-0, but allowed two first downs (fewest in school history in the modern era) and 70 yards (third-fewest in program history). The UTEP stop troops opened the contest by forcing seven consecutive three-and-outs.
After giving up 35 points to Old Dominion on Oct. 11, the Miners surrendered 21 or fewer in five of the last seven games, including against Utah State in the New Mexico Bowl.
Stoker also coached the team's linebackers, including Alvin Jones and Anthony Puente who ranked second and fourth respectively on the team in tackles in 2014. Jones had the second-most tackles for losses on the team with nine. Jones garnered All-Conference USA Freshman team honors, while Puente was recognized as a All-C-USA honorable mention.
Stoker faced a difficult situation in 2013, taking over at UTEP during the summer and installing a 4-2-5 scheme without the benefit of spring ball. The Miners also relied heavily on players who were untested at the Division I level. UTEP's top two tacklers (Devin Cockrell and Dashone Smith) were freshmen. In all, seven of the top 10 tacklers hadn't started a game for the Miners prior to the 2013 season. UTEP's top two defensive linemen, James Davidson and Horace Miller, signed NFL free agent contracts with Cincinnati and Seattle respectively in the spring of 2014. Miller is currently playing for the Oakland Raiders.
Stoker came to El Paso from Sam Houston State University, where he served as defensive coordinator from 2009-12. The Bearkats captured Southland Conference titles with back-to-back berths in the FCS championship game in 2011 and 2012.
In 2012 SHSU led the Southland in rushing defense (98.5 ypg), total defense (333.5 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (151.6), while ranking sixth nationally in rushing defense. The Bearkats had the conference leader in tackles for losses (senior linebacker Darius Taylor) and pass break-ups (senior defensive backs Robert Shaw and Dax Swanson).
In 2011, Stoker was instrumental in Sam Houston State fashioning a 14-1 mark. He was named the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision "Defensive Coordinator of the Year" by FootballScoop.com.
The 2011 Bearkats held national top-five rankings in rushing defense (first, 72.9 ypg), scoring defense (second, 14.9 ppg), turnover margin (second, 1.87), total defense (third, 279.9 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.20), while pacing the conference in all five categories. Swanson was third in the FCS in interceptions with 0.5 per game.
Stoker's 2010 unit rated eighth nationally in rushing defense (100.1 ypg) and 17th in sacks (2.7 avg.).
While at Sam Houston State, he coached 14 defensive players who combined to earn 22 All-Conference honors. Safety Darnell Taylor was appointed the Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012. Taylor, along with defensive lineman J.T. Cleveland and Swanson, have garnered All-American accolades.
Stoker was the head coach at his alma mater, Northwestern State, from 2002-08. He compiled a 43-38 record, and led the Demons to the 2004 Southland Conference co-championship and two NCAA Division I playoff appearances (2002 & 2004).
His teams broke close to 50 school records (23 offensive, 10 defensive, 13 special teams), as well as set five NCAA records and 10 Southland Conference standards. Three of his teams ranked in the top-15 nationally in total defense and rushing defense, rating second in both categories in 2004. Stoker was also identified as one of the nation's top 10 recruiters by American Football Coaches Monthly.
He worked as an assistant coach at McNeese State from 1994-2002. Six of the teams earned national playoff berths, including reaching the 1995 national semifinals and playing in the 1997 championship game. Stoker was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator in 1999, and defensive coordinator from 2000-01.
A native of Alexandria, La., he is the son of Butch Stoker, a highly-successful coach at Alexandria High School for four decades. Scott Stoker was an All-State quarterback for Alexandria before continuing his playing career at Northwestern State. He led the Demons to the 1988 Southland Conference championship and an NCAA playoff berth. He finished his college career (1986-89) with a school-record 4,801 passing yards and 5,059 yards of total offense.
Stoker and his wife, Kim, have three children - Jennifer, Carlie and Zoe.

How to Legitimately Make Money Stuffing Envelopes
Making money stuffing envelopes is probably one of the oldest work-at-home scams out there! Since 1997 I've been warning moms about the dangers of sending money to companies who claim you can make money assembling crafts, getting lists of companies looking for home workers, and last but not least, stuffing envelopes.
It seems so easy … once you pay your money, you'll get a list of companies who need people to stuff envelopes with their promotional material, invoices, you name it and because you feel you can make money at it, you'll do it. Unfortunately, that isn't how the envelope stuffing scam works. Once you send in your cash, all you'll receive is information on how to place ads, similar to the one you responded to, which scams more people out of their hard-earned money.
But what if you really want to make money this way. About a month ago I found something very exciting for those intrigued with the whole envelope stuffing business. I was amazed to discover that if this is your ideal home business, it really can work.
Katie Veseleny, author of Bizy's Guide To Making Money With Direct Mail Services took time out to answer a few questions about this possible home-based envelope stuffing business.
Q: Can you really make money stuffing envelopes?
Katie: Well, sure you can. But, don't expect anyone to drop off boxes of envelopes and inserts and pay you a huge fee to put them together! This is something that will be most successful when you offer total service packages. I prefer to call it Direct Mail Services.
Q: What exactly is a Direct Mail Service Business?
Katie: A Direct Mail Service Business is offering to take away a portion of the nuisance work for your client. Much the same as a business owner would hire an accountant, they will also hire companies (such as yours) to handle this kind of work. Direct mailing is just that … you take the mailing responsibilities away from your client, and let them get back to business. You collect and maintain the mailing lists for them, send out their regular periodic mailings, as well as any sporadic mailings, and help with anything else that will make their business more successful.
Q: How does one start a Direct Mail Service Business?
Katie: Start by looking into who your clients are, knowing their mailing habits and what they need. Put together service packages that really offer benefits. Also, rather than asking your client to provide the inserts, envelopes and mailing labels, you can actually create the inserts needed as well as creating and maintaining their entire mailing list database. I think you'll find it's more attractive to your potential client when you're taking away the bulk of the nuisance work, and allowing the business person to get back to doing what they do best running their business.
Q: How does this business differ from the envelope stuffing scam?
Katie: For starters, it's your business. You know you're legitimate. Plus, it's a total service package. It's not something that's going to make you rich overnight … you need to work at it by building a clientele and a biz reputation. I believe that if you do the math when looking at those advertisements, you'll find it's absolutely absurd to believe that you could make so much money with little or no work required.
Q: Any last tips or suggestions?
- Take a look at the mail you receive at home. How did you react to it? What changes would you suggest to generate a more positive reaction? Can you verbalize those suggestions to the sender?
- Don't call it "Envelope Stuffing" that sounds like a scam. It's Direct Mail Services, which sounds more professional and definitely more credible.
- Look at every business. Don't cross anyone off the list until they say "no." Direct Mailing is not just sending out advertisements. Other possibilities include a businesses' need to respond to requests for more information, sending acknowledgments when receiving resumes, sending greeting cards and appointment reminders, etc. They NEED someone to handle this for them!!
I've always found that when you decide to do something, and put your mind to it anything can happen. If starting your own Direct Mail Service Business is something that interests you Katie Veseleny's ebook, "Bizy's Guide To Making Money With Direct Mail Services" gives you step-by-step instruction on how to make this business work.

Reviews for Quick Cajun Chicken Penne
"chicken was better than shrimp. My grilled shrimp got tough. I probably cooked them too long. If I tried it again with the shrimp I would probably saute them in the pan vs the grill. I didn't use the scallions just some diced onion in the pan. Will make again!!"
"This is one of our main go-to meals that I make several times a month. It's that good!"
"Love this recipe. So simple and so good."
"This was very quick and fast, it was prefect for a hungry crowd, I used my homemade Alfredo sauce and the whole dish tasted like it came from a restaurant. Thanks."
"This was really good & easy to make. I only used one jar of sauce and it was perfect"

Police say Cody Campbell had a pulse but no brain activity after he was pulled from the above-ground pool by his mother last Thursday. Kennebec County Sheriff's Department officials say Cody is recovering at Maine Medical Center and he now recognizes his parents. Sheriff Randall Liberty tells WMTW-TV (http://bit.ly/15jcVN1 ) that he is also talking, although he has some difficulties speaking.

About Dave Navarro
Who Is Dave Navarro?
There's a famous guitarist named Dave Navarro. I'm not him.
I'm a different kind of rockstar, the kind who sweats behind the scenes rather than on stage, kicking successful people's asses so that they become even more successful. I'm a personal productivity coach who gets deep into the minds of people who have everything going for them but are hitting some speedbumps and roadblocks – and I pull no punches until they break past the limiting beliefs that are holding them back.
I help entrepreneurs get "unstuck." I push people past what they think they are capable of. I find solutions to their problems that they had never even considered, and I get them to think bigger, work smarter and believe in themselves more. I take their psychological baggage and help make sure it gets lost at the airport. I kick their asses, and then I teach them to start kicking their own so I can move on to the next rockstar-to-be.
I'm not saying this to impress you, because I'm not looking for new coaching clients. My dance card's full. I'm saying it because if you don't have someone who kicks your ass on a regular basis, doesn't put up with your excuses and demands that you rock out with all the potential that you have inside … well, you better find one fast. We all need people like that.
Hell, I call on a whole team of people to kick my ass every week, lest I start screwing up.
What You're Really Here For
You clicked this link to find out about me. You need to think about yourself instead. About what you want out of life. About what you're no longer willing to settle for. About what you're going to pour yourself into changing.

The first step is subscribing to this blog. The second step is picking posts that speak to you and then commenting on them so you can get in with a group of people who want to rock their day too. You rise to the expectations of your peer group, so make sure you're hanging out with winners, all the time.
So that's all you need to know about me. I rock my day, every day, and I teach others how to rock their day, too.

TAMPA - USF starts its sixth straight NCAA tournament appearance at home against a team it defeated, 3-0, earlier in the season at Corbett Stadium. Ask players and coaches about the Bulls' win over FGCU on Sept. 25 and they'll tell you the past is insignificant heading into Thursday's 7 p.m. battle.
"We've already played them before, but that means nothing. It's a fresh tournament game and we're putting that game aside because they're a very good team," senior midfielder Kyle Nicholls said.
Fans have a chance to attend the game for free thanks to the Tampa Bay Sports Commission and people filling the seats and berms on Thursday could be in for a whole new show. Both teams will play with much healthier lineups with FGCU sending out a much different team that includes leading scorer Felipe DeSousa, who missed the teams' first meeting because of a suspension.
"This will be different because now we have our whole squad," starter Luis Vega told the Naples Daily News. "We should be ready for them. We just have to get prepared."
"I think we'll see a different team than we saw the first time around, but at the same time I feel like we're healthier and have some cards nobody has seen as well," USF head coach George Kiefer said.
The Bulls definitely appear to be ready after having more than two weeks to prepare after missing out on the Big East tournament. USF earned an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament after going 8-5-4 against some of the toughest competition in the country. The Bulls were No. 25 in the latest RPI and embraced the road to the postseason while dealing with a large number of injuries.
"Whenever (the selection committee goes) in that room and pick teams, they're always talking about strength of schedule. You not only have to play good teams, but beat good teams," Kiefer said.
Now the Bulls find themselves in a pretty sweet situation. Win Thursday and they'll get a chance to host another NCAA tournament game against Tulsa on Sunday, but the team talks about that situation as much as it does its about previous meeting with FGCU.
"I've been doing this long enough where NCAA tournament teams that are looking at how many home games they have typically play one. We're going to focus on Florida Gulf Coast and that's it," Kiefer said. "To go into a soccer game and try to play two of them at once isn't a good recipe."
