The second book in the fast-paced Septimus Heap series, featuring cunning, deception, quirky characters, clever charms and lots of humour.
The evil necromancer DomDaniel has been disposed of, but something Darke is stirring. A shadow pursues extra-ordinary wizard Marcia overstrand around, following her every move, growing stronger every day. Septimus senses something sinister is afoot, but before he can act, Jenna is snatched - taken by the most unlikely kidnapper.
Septimus must rescue his sister but does not, at first, realise what he will be facing. "Flyte" is brilliantly funny, and packed with even more inventive Magyk, Mayhem and adventure.

For those that missed it, it wasn't "just" an interview, it was a two page spread with a full page photo of "The Radiohead of the horror world" himself…
Can't seem to post the image itself here (the <img> tags don't seem to work), but here's a photo of the magazine spread…
Our FDO has now officially made it across the pond.
This months, that's the August edition, #178 of SFX (the best SciFi, fantasy etc mag in the know universe), published in the UK I may add, has an interview with The Great One himself. Damn good it is as well, nice to see Scott finally getting the recognition he deserves.
They even go to the extent of reviewing "Infected" and give it 4/5. I hope this means they will be spared when our FDO takes control.
Nice one Scott, we are humbled by your presence O Great One'

Renowned Architect Rees Jones to Direct $1 Million Bunker Renovation at Griffin Gate Golf Club
Golf Course Enhancement Project Scheduled for Completion in Mid-May; Bunker Renovation to Feature Better Billy Bunker Method, Used on Famed Courses like Valhalla, Bethpage Black and Hazeltine National
Lexington, Ky. - Griffin Gate Golf Club, a Marriott Golf-managed facility located at the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa in Lexington, Kentucky, today announced that the property has broken ground on a $1 million bunker renovation project, along with a complete greens complex refinement.
Scheduled for completion in mid-May, Marriott Golf has commissioned renowned golf architect Rees Jones, the original Griffin Gate Golf Course designer, to direct the project, which will further enhance one of the premier golf experiences in the rolling hills of Kentucky Bluegrass Country.
Highlighting the project, Rees Jones will utilize the highly successful Better Billy Bunker Method throughout the golf course. This innovative bunker system is currently used at a collection of the game's premier golf courses, including Valhalla in Louisville, Bethpage Black in New York and Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, site of the 2016 Ryder Cup. The bunker system is also popular among Marriott Golf facilities, having recently been installed at The Rookery at Marco, located at the Marco Island Marriott Resort.
"I am happy to be returning to work on Griffin Gate, one of my first designs. It's like seeing an old friend after 34 years," said Rees Jones. "1981 was quite a while back, so a bunker renovation to bring the course 'back to the future' will serve the course well. We are also re-defining the fairway lines and creating chipping areas to give the course more varied challenges. We feel the changes will maintain the popularity that Griffin Gate has enjoyed for the last three decades."
"We are extremely excited to have Rees Jones return to Griffin Gate and lead not only the bunker renovation, but the greens complex refinement as well," said Mark Ravenscraft, General Manager, Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa. "Aside of his famed expertise, no one knows the facility better, which means this project will greatly enhance a golf course already known for its competitive play, beauty and environmentally friendly appeal. Griffin Gate enjoys a tremendous history and popularity in the rolling hills of Kentucky and we are excited that Rees Jones will help to take that distinction to another level."
To best service customers during the project period, Griffin Gate officials and Rees Jones, Inc. will execute the operation in two 9 holes phases, thus allowing for 9 holes of the course to remain open for resort and local guests at all times. The project is estimated to be completed in mid-May when all details of the renovation and all related refinements will be announced, and prior to the public re-opening of the new-look Griffin Gate Golf Course.

text: I also question it given that we don't even know if the Ouya will really find a decent market. Devs saying they'll support X before X or their game is released is all well and good, but if nobody can find a use for it then they're wasting their time figuring out an upgrade cycle like this. Again it seems like a vote of no confidence in their release in some ways, like they know that people will put it on the shelf like a neglected Nintendo Wii, unless they can convince people to keep buying a new one because hey new stuff!

What Elite Runners Use to Train
With These 3 Items, You'll Be Running as Fast as a Pro
Let's talk a little about the legacy of Joan Benoit Samuelson. In 1983 (at the age of 26), she set the women's marathon world record for her finish time of 2:22:43 at the Boston Marathon — a course record that would not be bested for 11 years. Then, one year later and just three months after having knee surgery, she became the gold medal winner of the first Olympic women's marathon. Fast-forward to today, and you'll still find Joan coming up on top. This year, Joan, 56, finished the Boston Marathon with a time of 2:52:10 (that's a 6:34 mile for those counting), placing first in her age division.
If you run, it's hard not to be inspired by the perseverance and passion that Joan exhibits in the sport. And because it can't hurt to learn from the best, we wanted to know what her absolute must haves are when she hits the trail (and the one thing she always leaves behind).

Skin Doctors Superceutical Reviews
Weird, to say the least.....The texture of this cream is really hard, only seeming to soften with your body heat as you apply it. In addition, I continually found small granular pieces in it, yet it isn't marketed as a scrub of any type.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Mega Power Star Ram Charan had stepped up the ante. He had now set a new bench mark in records for other heroes to conquer. His ready for release movie, Nayak had registered a new record in the Nizam theatrical distribution rights of Ram Charan-starrer Nayak. Dil Raju had reportedly shelled out 11.5C for the Nizam rights which is miles ahead of the second price in the list.
This move has come in as a surprise for many since the producer's home production Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh-starrer Seethamma Vaakilto Sirimalle Chettu will be releasing on January 11, 2013 while Nayak will hit the screens on January 9. So the Sankranthi race just gets cheeky between Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello and thanks for choosing Just Answer®. I am a licensed attorney, and I will be glad to try and assist you.
To provide you with accurate information, could you please clarify these points so I can best address your inquiry:
Once I hear back from you, I will be glad to let you know my answer. There may be some delay as I am assisting other customers or am away from my computer. Please rest assured, however, that I will get back to you as soon as possible.
And this is during night time hours?
And you're wanting to know if this might be criminal in nature?
Child endangerment cases generally consist of allegations of abuse, abandonment or neglect. According to New Hampshire statutes:
I. "Abandoned'' means the child has been left by his parent, guardian or custodian, without provision for his care, supervision or financial support although financially able to provide such support. II. "Abused child'' means any child who has been: (a) Sexually abused; or (b) Intentionally physically injured; or (c) Psychologically injured so that said child exhibits symptoms of emotional problems generally recognized to result from consistent mistreatment or neglect; or (d) Physically injured by other than accidental means.
Based on what you have stated, the closest part would be "left by his parent". However, the definition continues in discussing not having left "provision for his care". Based on the facts as you've stated them, I don't see anything criminal here.
As a note, a couple things that could make this criminal and/or subject to action by child services would include:
I hope you found my answer helpful. If so, please click on the green ACCEPT for my answer. This is necessary for me to be paid for my work and so that I can get credit for assisting you. Your question will not close, and you will still have the opportunity to follow-up if needed. Leaving a bonus and positive feedback is not required, but doing so is certainly appreciated! Thank you and good luck!
Also, several customers have asked how they may direct a question to me in particular. If you specifically want me to assist you in your legal matter, just put "FOR JOSEPH" in the subject line and I will gladly pick up the question as soon as I am on-line.
I am going off-line for the evening. Please feel free to respond, if necessary, and know that I will be back on-line tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience.

All those union thugs who were rioting in Michigan Tuesday were angry about the wrong thing.
They were demonstrating --which in union-speak means breaking things and punching people -- against Michigan's decision to become a right-to-work state.
If you believe the union spin, or the mainstream liberal media's spin, or the Obama spin, which all come from the same propaganda factory, that means Michigan no longer cares about workers, the right to organize, living wages, etc., etc.
But what Michigan's new law really means is that the voters and a majority of the politicians in the state have miraculously decided that a citizen's freedom of choice should extend to the freedom to be able to choose not to join a union.
What a concept.
It's a great step forward for a troubled state that has seen its signature industry crippled to the point of near extinction by unions that had too much power over the lives of workers, American carmakers, politicians and the economy.
If those union thugs and their allies in the Democrat Party really had a clue, they would have been demonstrating -- peacefully, if that's possible -- against what has happened to the once-great, but now pathetic, city of Detroit.
The statistics are staggering. Detroit -- a union town if America ever made one -- is a socialist hell on wheels. Its city government is broke and nearly $50 million in the red, in part because it pays $1.08 in benefits to municipal workers and retirees for every $1 it pays in salaries.
Its population has fallen from 1.8 million in 1950 to about 700,000 as of 2011, and too many of the Detroiters who are left don't pay taxes, don't form traditional two-parent families, don't have jobs and aren't interested in having one.
Of the roughly 224,000 residents who actually have a job, only 190,000 work in the private sector. Oh, and 99,000 of Detroit's 363,000 housing units are vacant.
Welcome to Obamaville -- and the future Obama America.
If Michigan's union thugs want to demonstrate about something beyond their own economic interests as seen through the lens of union fundraising, they might try raising a fist to the sorry state of education in Detroit.
Among students in city schools recently exiting eighth grade, only 7 percent are "proficient" in reading and only 4 percent are "proficient" in math.
Maybe the unions are happy with those shameful numbers, because they will be guaranteed a steady supply of uneducated kids who are only qualified to join a union.
It's interesting to see the left go wild in the streets to protest Michigan's giant step for greater worker freedom.
It seems the left only wants you to have freedom of choice when you're pregnant. After you give birth to the child, it's those on the left -- not the right -- that want to deny your freedom to choose, whether it's a school for your kid or to be in a union.
Michigan is going the right way-- the opposite of the Obama Way that has doubled America's homeless population to 636,000 and jacked up our food stamp population to 47 million.
Detroit has been destroyed by its own bad governments and the kind of federal policies Obama wants to expand. It may be beyond saving, except for growing crops where neighborhoods once were.
But Michigan has taken a dramatic step toward resurrecting its industrial economy. It's no longer a union-made state.
It's a state where freedom of choice extends to people who will no longer be forced to join a union or pay dues to a bunch of thugs who'll spend it to elect more presidents like the one we're stuck with now.

HALESOWEN History Society is returning next month for its new season.
The society, which meets at the Shenstone Theatre, Halesowen Library on the first Thursday night of the month, has lined up a stellar programme of speakers.

She added: "Our first speakers is the well known local raconteur John Sparry, he will be talking about Interesting Events of 1937
knowing John, it should be a very entertaining evening.
"Looking forward to seeing our members after the summer break, and hopefully some new faces too."

The Bulldogs (38-15-1) move into the winners bracket in the eight-team field and will face either Campbellsville University or the University of Rio Grande at 3 p.m. Central Time on Friday.
Greene (7-1) gave up one unearned run and three walks while throwing 137 pitches in the victory. The lefthander was very efficient except for a 30-pitch inning in the fifth. He worked around a walk and a single in the fifth and sixth innings and induced a 5-4-3 inning-ending doubleplay to end the seventh after the Bears plated a run.
He retired the final seven batters of the game and 13 of the first 16 of the contest, giving up just three singles through the first four-plus frames.
Cody Strayer (4-6) was the tough-luck loser for the Bears (38-15-1), giving up three runs in the first two innings before shutting down the Bulldogs for the rest of the contest. He walked three and struck out five in eight innings and did not allow a hit from the second until a leadoff infield single by Monson in the sixth.
The Bulldogs jumped out early with two runs in the first after leadoff singles from Cory Urquhart and Chris Hall. Monson then ripped a two-run double down the rightfield line, giving CU the early lead.
Cumberland added another run in the second when Tyler Anderson led off with a double down the leftfield line, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Richie Seatons single to center.
CU managed just three hits the rest of the game, Monsons infield single in the sixth and another single in the eighth as well as a double from Seaton to start the seventh.
Shawnee State threatened in the fifth when Dustin Bickmeyer walked after an 11-pitch at-bat and Ryan Queener followed with a single, but Todd Queener and Ryan Bice both flied out to end the inning.
In the sixth Cody Spires singled with one out and Calvin Sluberski drew a two-out walk, but Jordan Maier grounded out to end the inning.
The Bears broke through in the seventh after a leadoff walk to Bickmeyer. Todd Queeners slow roller was booted by Josciel Veras at second and Ryan Queened went to third when the ball bounced away. Bice singled to center, plating a run, but Colin Keim bounced into an inning-ending doubleplay with the Bulldogs still leading, 3-1.

It's a beautiful thing when nerds tie the knot. Nerds, by definition, are lovers. The object (or objects) of their affection are the center of their universe, and some of the most inspired and beautiful works of wedding art come into being when two nerds meet in matrimony. Be it a mutual love of H.P. Lovecraft, Dr. Who, the Renaissance, science, technology, literature or otherwise, nerdy love has many opportunities for the exploration of some pretty awesome wedding details.
The objects of our nerdy desire bring us together, and it's often the element that unites couples. Why not celebrate that at your wedding?
If you're not 100% prepared to come to your wedding dressed in full Marvel cosplay, however, you might want to consider a few little nods to your favorite things in a more subtle way:
If you're unfamiliar with my favorite wedding resource, "Wedinator," I sincerely implore you to check it out. Among other things, Wedinator specializes in unique and nerdy examples of wedded glory. They also feature quite a few nerdy wedding cakes. Wedding cakes are my favorite part of a wedding reception, and it's the centerpiece that most guests will flock to and admire immediately. Even in a completely traditional space, nerdy cakes don't stand out as too outlandishly weird. It's expected that couples express their mutual love for "Legos" via a dessert showpiece, so this would be a great opportunity to build something unique and completely "you" in the nerdiest way possible.
Some of my favorite examples:
As this is a personal garment that will only be flashed to the general public for a moment (if at all), it's a great little accessory for the more reserved nerd. Etsy, in particular, specializes in nerdy wedding accessories like this. Want to flaunt your Ravenclaw pride without dominating your ceremony with blue and bronze? Strap it to your leg like a true fan. Fans of comic books, and the Star Wars universe will find it especially easy to find sexy garments that feature their favorite characters.
My favorite example:
As save-the-dates are usually much less formal than wedding invitations, nerds are having fun designing them from scratch. From mock comic book covers to stop-motion Street Fighter-esque videos, save-the-dates open up a world of creative possibilities. Skilled couples build these notices from scratch, but that doesn't mean you have to. Again, artists on sites such as Etsy can be commissioned to create unique (and fabulously nerdy) wedding notices for your friends and family. Make sure they know EXACTLY whose wedding they're attending.
The Rings
Your wedding rings are forever. Unlike the rest of your wedding details, you'll carry them with your for the entirety of your wedded life. Garters will be stored, cakes eaten, save-the-dates filed away, but your wedding rings stay front-and-center during the day-to-day. A true nerd embraces the culture in which they live, and nothing states that pride louder or clearer than the (mostly) permanent piece of jewelry you'll carry around with you long after your wedding day. While most nerdy wedding rings will have to be custom-made, don't let that deter you. Some nerdy rings are nerdy due just to the material they're made of, such as meteorite or adamantium.

Mark Russell
After speaking to cemetery and funeral service sales managers all across the United States, Mark Russell has found the profession is running low on new ideas to improve sales.

Discover how you can apply the sales, marketing, merchandising and relationship-selling strategies the top companies use to your sales program to both increase sales volume and solidify client relationships.

Managers: REdefining 'Brand': The Tao of Brand Marketing (30 minutes)
Dan Katz
The word "branding" is one of the most misused and misunderstood concepts in marketing and in particular, funeral marketing. Having a logo is not a brand. Having a slogan is not a brand. So then, what is a brand? What is "being" the brand? How does one create and build a brand? And why worry about a brand in the first place?
Tao is a Buddhist term meaning pathway or principle. Dan Katz will discuss the Tao of branding, with illustrations from many industries, including the cemetery and funeral service industry. He'll define branding in a practical sense and show how a well-defined branding program has long-term value that exceeds the price spent to create and present it.
Dan Katz is the president of LA ads—a marketing agency. He was one of the founders of PKPF (formerly Potter/Katz) and the originator of that agency's "Dare to be Different" approach to advertising. An award-winning copywriter and creative director for more than 30 years, he has worked with such prominent companies as Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries, Green Hills Memorial Park, Huber-Moore Funeral Homes, The Neptune Society and Stewart Enterprises, among others. His is author of the blog, "Funeral Advertising for the Perplexed."
Managers: Time to REassess: Is the Strategy Missing from Your Strategic Marketing Plan? (30 minutes)
Traci Tucker
Is your strategic marketing plan focused on your unique selling proposition? Do you even have a strategic marketing plan? In this session, Traci Tucker will show you how to make sure your advertising, Web site and print materials communicate your unique selling proposition.
Strategic marketing plans identify your unique position through the discovery and analysis of your geographic market areas, key target customer or member segments, your primary competitors and your own strengths and weaknesses. The planning process generally consists of an external analysis, including a SWOT assessment, to help ensure your unique brand proposition is at the forefront of all advertising and communications.
By breaking down the process into a few simple steps, Traci will show you how to conduct your own analyses and assessments and home in on what matters most – those things that make a difference to your business, to the families you serve and to your prospective clients.
You'll receive numerous handouts, including an environmental scan, a SWOT Assessment Worksheet and outlines and checklists for market analyses, competitive analyses and internal analyses.
Traci Tucker is a marketing strategist with more than 20 years of experience in retail, call center, sales, financial services and small business marketing. She is president and founder of Fuchsia Focus LLC, offering strategy-infused marketing services, and since March 2009 has served as brand manager for Adfinity, a full-service marketing and advertising agency specializing in funeral service.
Managers: Is It Time to REvamp Your Compensation Plans? (30 minutes)
Nevin W. Mann, CCFE
Extraordinary change has affected cemetery and funeral revenue in the last five years. Consumers know more and expect more for less, but many sales compensation plans have not kept pace in recognizing this new reality. Out-of-touch pay plans that drive behavior in opposition to these consumer demands will result in failure. Learn how to avoid five not-so-obvious pay plan pitfalls:
- Having too many choices—how to focus on what's important
- Confusing high sales with high success—how to measure and pay for "success"
- Not properly rewarding relationship selling—overcoming short-term thinking
- Relying on the pay plan to manage—how and when managers must take action
- Failing to promote teamwork—how to gain cooperation and reward results
Handouts will include "Paying More to Achieve Sales Objectives—Eight Reasons to Violate Traditional Pay Plan Tradition" and "Seven Often Overlooked Devices to Fine-Tune Your Pay Plan."
Nevin Mann is founder and chairman of Johnson-Woodford Company, a management consulting firm based in Glenside, Pennsylvania. He has more than 35 years of front line and staff business management experience. He was president and chief executive officer of West Laurel Hill Cemetery Companies in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, where he managed a turnaround and developed extraordinary growth and expansion for eight years. Previously, he had Fortune 100 company experience as director of sales and marketing services for S.B. Thomas Inc. (Thomas' English Muffins), and at Best Foods Company, where he served as division sales manager, division director of personnel and corporate director of manpower resources.

REinventing Your Sales Organization
Robert Quist
In 2008, Memorial Cemeteries and Mortuaries, which operates six cemeteries and 11 mortuaries in Utah, California and Arizona, had a total sales volume of $14 million and a 25 percent market share. In the first half of 2009, with sales dropping and profitability falling off as the national economy slumped, the company charted a new sales strategy. After months of study, Memorial split its successful family service sales force of 25+ agents into two groups, one group charged with servicing the at-need and "soon to need" segment of the business and the other charged with expanding sales into their existing heritage through aftercare visits as well as generating new heritage by expanding market share.
Over the past year, the company's at-need sales volume has grown on a per-case basis by 27 percent on average, with some locations seeing a 41 percent increase. This has been done with the same case count and no price increases. In addition, the preneed sales group has increased preneed insurance and trust sales by 75 percent and total property sales volume by 20 percent.
In this session, Robert Quist will share the successful strategies being used to increase the number and quality of sales on both the at-need and preneed sides of the business.
Through both his presentation and an extensive set of handouts, he'll share what they've done right and what they should have done differently, covering topics such as:
- lead generation
- hiring practices
- presentation materials
- measuring metrics
- staff buy-in
- and more
Robert Quist is president of Memorial Cemeteries and Mortuaries, based in Salt Lake City, Utah. He joined the company in 1980 and has held a range of positions, including grounds laborer, sales counselor and sales manager.

Expanding Your REach Through Social Media
Zachary Garbow
In a 2009 American Marketing Association study, companies that became active in social media reported experiencing an 18 percent increase in revenue.
But there are right ways and wrong ways to do that. Effective use of social media in sales means more than tweeting about what you ate for breakfast. It means crafting an identity, finding and participating in industry discussions, sharing your message, obtaining fans and followers, monitoring references, engaging customers and critics and more.
Then, once you reach a visitor through social media, you need a way to sell your product or service to seal the deal.
In this session, Zack Garbow will provide an interactive, practical tutorial on how cemetery and funeral service professionals can use social media to both promote their online brand and to generate Web-based sales. Topics will include:
- Setting up Twitter and Facebook pages and a company blog
- Improving Web site search rankings through inexpensive search engine optimization (SEO) tricks
- Using social media to distribute news and obituaries to a targeted demographic
- Driving high-value traffic to your site via targeted Web advertising
- Creating new sales channels and revenue streams online
- Turning your online obituaries into high-traffic, revenue generating properties
- Using third-party tools to gain and manage followers/friends, participate in industry discussions and position oneself as a thought leader
You'll receive several handouts, including a Twitter "cheat sheet" for our industry; a guide to search engine optimization (SEO) and a tutorial on how to start blogging.
Zachary Garbow is the co-founder of Funeral Innovations, a technology firm specializing in Web-based solutions for the funeral service industry. He formerly was a software engineer within IBM Research, where he gained over 100 patents pending and earned the title of Master Inventor, becoming the youngest Master Inventor in the history of IBM. He was accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator startup program, where he developed social media products in Silicon Valley while networking with the giants of the startup world, including the founders of Twitter, Ning and Gmail.

Setting REalistic Goals with REalistic Outcomes
Michael Bohner
Too often, goals are assigned to sales counselors without any rhyme or reason. The truth is, many counselors don't see goals as realistic or achievable. Further, they don't buy into the goal because they don't understand how it came to be. In this session, Michael Bohner of Serenity Meadows Memorial Park, Funeral Home and Crematory will explore his approach to goal setting and how to use the goal as a training tool.
Michael will discuss:
- how to arrive at a number (that doesn't penalize your high performers or coddle your weak ones)
- how to manage the process
- how to coach your counselors to success
After instituting this program, with strong accountability and targeted training and coaching, Serenity Meadows experienced an increase in preneed sales of 34 percent compared to the same period the previous year.
Michael Bohner is general manager for Serenity Meadows Memorial Park, Funeral Home and Crematory in Hillsborough County, Florida. Prior to becoming involved in the cemetery and funeral service profession, Bohner served as vice president/general manager for one of the largest independent jewelers in the eastern United States.

In this session, Julie will use examples from this program, sharing the good and the bad, and will offer her expertise on how you and your staff can tweak your initial conversations to make a positive impression, to capture those cremation prospects and to encourage them to consider cremation with tributes and memorialization.
The program will demonstrate how you can:
- improve your communication skills with today's cremation consumer
- effectively promote the value of your company and services
- provide information that will allow clients to make an informed decision while at the same time making them feel as though they will be treated first-class by you and your company
- determine whether you would do business with your company

- free events on site (art festivals, walking groups, tours, service projects and more)
- partnering opportunities (chamber of commerce, schools, gardening groups, museums, hospice and more)

REsearch REport: What Moves Consumers to Prearrange?
Pam Kleese
What drives someone to prearrange, and what can you do to encourage them?
In this session, Pam Kleese will share original consumer research from Homesteaders Life Company offering insights based on individuals who have actually prearranged. Find out what motivates people to prearrange and how your marketing and sales activities can reduce the "action gap"—the time between your prospects' consideration and their action.

REvamp Your Group Presentations
Kathi Wells
The two key elements that can make or break your group presentations are (1) choosing your audience and (2) matching your presentation to that audience's needs. Kathi Wells will show you how to target and find specific prospects and how to make sure the message you present is the right one for the audience you choose. No more panel discussions to generic groups that may or may not leave them thinking of you and your firm!
Kathi Wells is a sales trainer for Forethought Life Insurance Company and has been working with preneed departments in funeral homes and cemeteries for 14 years. With Forethought, she conducts sales training for managers and agents, assists in developing marketing plans and lead-generation programs and provides extensive support to recruiting and hiring efforts in the firms she visits.
2:30 p.m.
Using Social Cues to REv Up Your Sales
David Shipper
People respond to basic social interaction cues such as reciprocity, mutuality of interest, a desire to be consistent and the perception of authority. In this session, you'll discover how these cues can play an essential role in how you interact with your client families and how important each word of your presentation can be in activating these cues.
Find out why each aspect of your sales program needs to be carefully scripted for maximum success. How does the Personal Planning Portfolio or Living Will fit into your sales program, and why is it so important to present these tools properly? Teaching counselors what to say is one thing but having them understand why they need to stay on script is quite another. You'll learn how to communicate the importance of this to your sales team in a very compelling way.
David Shipper is president and CEO of companies that own and operate 42 cemetery and funeral home locations serving more than 12,000 families per year. He is also co-author of The System, a complete preneed sales program for cemeteries and funeral homes (www.sellwiththesystem.com).

Higher Ratings For TNA...How?
by, 06-23-2012 at 03:29 PM (7854 Views)
Ok fans. The Saviour here with an odd, 3rd post this week. I'm actually going to blog about a thread from the forum that I found very interesting. And while I was responding, I found my response getting too long and figured I'd make a blog about it.
Now, over the last 4 or 5 weeks, I've been very much in favor of TNA over WWE. They've been putting on better shows and focusing more on wrestling. However, the ratings don't exactly reflect any sort of change in the large gap between the two organizations. There was a report yesterday about Impact's rating and his still hasn't really broken out of the 1.00 range, even though it's putting on excellent quality shows. So, how can this be changed? What are they doing wrong? What should they change? While it's easy to blame Hogan(s), Bischoff, Dixie Carter, etc, there's more to it than that. This blog is going to focus on increasing TNA's audience.
Let's break it down and see, as the thread says, What Will Be TNA's Savior?
1. Bobby Roode Is World Champion This isn't something I would change. I think Bobby Roode needs to be champion for much longer than he already has been. The problem is, anyone who might be tuning into TNA for the first time, would have no clue who Bobby Roode is. TNA needs to market this guy. Get him on talk shows. Get him to appear at highly publicized sporting events. He is very much a Marketable commodity and they should capitalize on it. He needs to really become a known figure throughout the US, and even all of North America. Perhaps a Canadian Tour and a Mexican Tour could help this.
2. Spike TV Is Not the Outlet They Need. I know this cannot change anytime soon, as they just signed a 2 year extension. But Spike TV really prides itself on being a "Man" Station. With shows like MMA Uncensored, 1000 Ways to Die, and Manswers, Spike TV doesn't exactly offer too many options for women and even less options for children. And that's where they're limited. The male 18-34 demographic finds other options, not just wrestling, so they only have a small piece of the pie. They need to draw more women and children to their product. I think that may happen if they were to move to say, FX. Fox has tons of different stations that can help promote. And they usually do. As opposed to NBC where they don't cross promote too often. Basically, you don't see USA shows promoted on NBC, but you do see FX programming promoted on Fox.
3. Get On The Road...Please! I'm repeating myself from an earlier blog from months back, but TNA needs to get on the road. It's annoying just seeing the Impact Zone at this point. Here's what I envision. College Campuses. College kids flock to any type of event that's going on throughout the campus. At a mere $10/ticket, well within a standard college student's budget, they could easily pull in 5000 - 7000 people for an event. And throughout the day, have the wrestlers interacting with the students on campus. Throw in a good cause here and there. A little push toward the importance of education, etc. And start at small campuses. Florida International, Central Florida, Florida A&M, Louisiana Monroe, Georgia Southern, etc. And do it in early fall, when their arenas aren't being booked for basketball. Instant success.
4. Take Part in the Themes of Pop Culture. WCW had some events that coincided with what was happening at the time. They usually themed a Spring Break Nitro that would take place in Daytona Beach. They had the Road Wild PPV that would take place at the Sturgis Bike Ralley, etc. And there's a billion events that take place in America at certain times of the year. Imagine doing a show in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, or a show revolving around America, in DC, near the 4th of July. Cap it off with a huge Firework Display. The opportunities here are endless. And there's probably some cheap pub you can get out of it too.
5. Finally, Piggy Back off of WWE. What I mean by this is, people like familiarity. WWE may own the trademark names of matches like TLC and Money in the Bank, they don't own the style of match itself. All TNA has to do is rename them and do something similar. This would garner interest based on comparison alone. Would a MITB match with Ziggles, Santino, Cody Rhodes, and Kofi Kingston be as good as one with AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, RVD, and A Double? If they had this match, how many people would tune in, just to check it out? Especially if you decided to give for free, what WWE would make you pay for. And the same goes with TLC. Hell, most of the people who put that match on the map are already with the company.
Well, obviously, a lot needs to change if TNA is ever going to reach that 2.0 + rating and be taken seriously as a threat to the evil empire up north.
I hope you all enjoyed this read. If you have other ideas, please comment and let's hear em.
Thanks for reading. And check out this weeks' Sudden Impact if you haven't already read it.

I recently bought a MSAR Stg-556 gen4 at a gun show and need some help. First off, if anybody has any experience with this rifle please share. Any tips/tricks or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I also bought a MeproLight M21M today and mounted it. The optic in the pics came with it, it's a cheap BSA RD30. The problem with the MeproLight is its too high when using a proper cheek weld. I read the 1913 mount is calibrated for the optic at the factory, so I'm guessing I shouldn't remove it. How can I lower it? I really like the optic, but if need be I'll put it on a flap top AR. What optic would you recommend for a MSAR? Thanks for the help.
Congrats on the purchase. I've always liked those guns. They just never really took of the ground in terms of popularity. I think partly because the first versions used a proprietary mag. I think the later designs used a standard AR mag. I think it's a gun you'll enjoy.
Thanks Olympus! Mine appears to be a Gen4(no f/a, square takedown pin), so I think it will run AUG mags as well as MSAR mags. IDK for sure though, I only have a 10rnd and a 30rnd MSAR mag.
My wife won one in a raffle at our local gun shop/range. The first time I shot it jammed. It was so bad that the gun shop boxed it up and sent it back to the factory. If I paid $2000+ I would have been pissed...$10 raffle ticket, no so much. I got it back and it seems fine now. MSAR went tits up but now they are back open for business. My wife and I are left handed and I need to buy the left handed bolt to really enjoy it. Not much info on the Internet about these, there is a Bull-pup forum you can check out.
Thanks John! That bullpup forum is pretty sparse too. I figured out my MeproLight prob. I need either an E4 optics rail or a Promoted Pawn optics rail. Which is better for hard use?
That is a nice Bullpup you have there.
Would you go with an EO-TECH? They are nice and all if you have that tactical fitness :cool:
Thanks Rarity. I have heard of many issues with the EoTechs lately, battery leakage and battery life. The reticle is a little to busy for me too. I bought the M21 for these reasons. My concern now is a longer range option available as well. I'm also looking into getting a Trijicon TA33G-H for target ident/observation.
I have the Promoted Pawn optics rail and a sling swivel set on order. Until it comes in I can't really do much bc the stock rail is a little to high for a proper cheek weld.
I'm also wanting to put a set of BUIS on her. The optics rail sight radius is around 12 inches(I think, I don't have it yet). Any suggestions for a top quality set of BUIS? I've been looking at Troy and Diamond Back.
I finally got my Promoted Pawn parts in. If anyone is interested I just posted my review in the Technical Articles and Write-Ups section.

THe MSAR STG556 IMO is a fine rifle and definately on par with the original Steyr AUG. I bought mine with the factory optic and it has been a very good setup. A friend has one with the rail on which he mounted the excellent Hensoldt ZF-24. I would not hesitate to recommend the STG556 to anyone looking for a bullpup.
I shot mine for the first time on Friday. Shot good, just needs some breaking in. It felt really weird bc it's so short, I've never shot a bullpup before. I can't wait to mount a ACOG, a light and get a sling. I've also been looking at the hybrid bolt and trigger pack from Rat Worx USA that uses AR-15 parts. They told me the trigger pack lightens the trigger to 5.5 pounds.

Director: Linda Hoaglund
Language: Japanese
Linda Hoaglund's documentary deftly conveys the mood of the 1960 protests against the Japan-U.S. security treaty (anpo). But for a subject that remains controversial, mood is hardly enough. Consider this: Hiroshi Nakamura, an artist present in 1960 and who Hoaglund depicts as a brush-wielding malcontent, recently told a Tokyo audience he would not demand closure of U.S. bases in Japan. The question "Anpo" should have posed: Why is it so hard for Japanese, even members of 1960's anti-treaty movement, to turn their backs on the U.S. today?

Okay, so I won't be totally alone. I'll have Abigail. My extremely energetic, can't-sit-still, become-friends-with-everyone, hilarious 1 year old.
Am I nervous to fly alone?
A little bit.
I'm not so much worried about the flight (we're only hopping down to LA for the weekend to celebrate a wedding and a baby shower – yay!), but I am worried about lugging all our crap (I mean luggage) around the airport. Eeeek! But as 7x7xDaddy keeps reminding me, I'll get to check most of the luggage upon arrival at the airport.
Deep breaths. I can do it.
The good thing is that this little lady is my best bud and she would never to anything to make my life difficult or challenging…
Never…look at this innocent face.
And with that, I hope you all know I'm being 100% sarcastic. I'm setting my expectations low this time. Today is going to be a challenge. My patience will be tested. Abigail will probably run away from me at least 3 times in the airport and while I'm never supposed to leave my bags "unattended," I may have to break that rule to chase her down.
On the flight, she'll probably shake the chair in front of her which will stress me out and frustrate whoever that poor passenger is. Then that passenger will probably turn around and give me a mean look and all I'll be able to do is apologize and hope that Abigail flashes one of her "you can't be mad at this face" smiles.
Despite my best efforts to pack a variety of snacks, she'll probably throw most of them on the floor and continually search for the next best thing. She'll insist to drink out of my small airplane water cup (spilling most of it without a doubt) instead of enjoying perfectly yummy water from her sippy cup.
To top everything off, she'll probably poop mid-flight (because that's what she does) and begin to stink up the entire cabin before I get a chance to escape my seat (which I'm truly hoping is not in the middle of two disgruntled passengers…but you never know when you're flying Southwest!) and change her diaper.
I know we'll make it to LA. That I can be certain of.
It's everything that happens from SF to LA that makes me a little nervous.
Wish me luck, friends! I'll be back with an update next week (that is, if we survive!).

BURY turned in their best performance of the season to show encouraging signs they could yet escape relegation from North Lancs League One.
They started the game brightly, but were exposed in the seventh minute from a lineout when a Burnley catch and drive resulted in the opening try for the visitors.
Ten minutes later, Bury losT the ball in the scrum against the head and Burnley drove over for a converted try. The Radcliffe Road hosts were hit by an injury to centre Mark Campbell who was replaced by Neil Ogden on 28 minutes before Bury narrowed the gap with a Matt Hindley penalty from 30 metres.
But their injury jinx struck yet again when Gary Chester was forced off. The home side finally broke the Burnley defence and, from a tap penalty 10 metres out, moved the ball wide to the right to score in the corner. There was conjecture over who scored the try with the hands of three front-row men apparently on the ball, but it was converted by Hindley.
Bury welcome Trafford MV to Radcliffe on Saturday (kick off 2.15pm) as they search for their first league win.

Hawkeye Real Estate Family Supports YMCA's 'Osky Winter Open'
Oskaloosa, Iowa – The 2nd Annual "Osky Winter Open" was held February 8 & 9 at Penn Central Mall, and Hawkeye Real Estate was an excited participant and mini-putt hole sponsor in this YMCA fund raiser. Chris Roach, Hawkeye Broker and Property Manager said, "We're pleased to be a part of this event, because we feel our YMCA plays a key role in providing recreational opportunities to Mahaska Community families.
"Recreation is also an important factor to those considering Oskaloosa as a new place to call home," continued Roach. "Our Y keeps many kids involved in extracurricular activities and promotes healthy lifestyle. Hawkeye Real Estate is celebrating 25 years in business. We're proud to be part of this community and enjoy taking part in important events such as the Osky Winter Open."
Hawkeye Real Estate, who is celebrating 25 years in 2013, sponsored hole #10 this year, which was designed and built by Amy Shafer's father, Chris DeHaan. "My daughter, Amy, is a REALTOR at Hawkeye," said DeHaan. "When she told me about the event and that Hawkeye was going to sponsor a hole, I volunteered to build the hole. We are supporters of the YMCA, and this was an opportunity to partner with Hawkeye to help out a local non-profit organization in Oskaloosa."
Shafer said her dad is retired, lives in Oskaloosa, and "loves to build things." DeHaan spent approximately 10 hours building the mini-putt structure.
Hawkeye Real Estate agents who volunteered at this year's event were Shafer, Lori Oaks, Sara Bonnett, Marcia Aalsburg, and Roach. As an unexpected result of this year's event, Roach and his Osky Winter Open Classic Tournament partner, Jason Shafer, took second place in the flighted tournament.
"This was a great event and we are looking forward to next year," concluded Roach.

La decoración, el servicio del personal es excelente, siempre atentos a lo que necesitas. El lugar donde se ubica es formidable. Y el concepto de boutique o pequeño hotel me gusta mucho Los precios en bebidas principalmente, son excesivos.
La comodidad de las instalaciones, el desayuno y el buen servicio. Y el precio LAs habitaciones son un poco viejas, podrían renovarlas.
The quality of staff and service of Maki Hotel does not match its name and price and stars. Our experiences were unbeliable: Twice housekeeping guys barged into our room without knocking! Twice leftover room service food from previous night was left untouched in front of the room till the afternoon and then thrown on the garden in our view to be eaten by cats. We aksed an iron and the iron delivered did not work. We ordered pizza on the beach, they forgot the pizza but did not forget to add it on the bill. Housekeeping did not renew shampoo and bath gel. They took the bathrobes and did not bring them back. There was no shoeshine. The whole experience was unbelievable, I have never seen such bad service and unequipped staff.
The vibrant atmosphere throughout the day and evening, the courteous behavior of the staff and the type of visitors one would expect to see. The very high noise from the loud speakers of neighboring restaurants or discos that would not stop until the early hours of the morning.
Location was ok and the food was good. Beach area was nice as well and was a fun scene at night. I thought that the hotel was not good value for the money. The hotel staff was surly and not helpful, the rooms are small and did not feel clean, the rooms felt tired, and we had to change rooms because our ceiling had a big hole in it and was leaking water.... The hotel did not compensate us for the lesser room and they originally even refused to put us into a new room. Ther e are much nicer hotels around the maki in in neighboring towns that would have been much better value for the money.
convinience too expensive from value for money perspective. It was end of the season and hotel staff was not very friendly and service was very slow
nature,close to beach,restaurant
Turkbuku is beautiful... the waterfront at the Maki is hard to beat. Staff was courteous and friendly. Look forward to returning and happy to recommend to others. The room was slightly underwhelming for the cost, but this can be typical for beach locales.
upscale youthful crowd (mostly coming from within Turkey), fantastic ambience and great rooms/facilities didn't like 2 things: first one was the hotel personnel, who barely spoke any other language except turkish. The second thing was the breakfast. The one included in the price could suffice only for those on a strict diet. Even coffee or juice had to be ordered separately for a hefty extra price.
We were slightly off-season (late Sept) so the hotel felt empty in a good way. Very relaxing on the jetty. The hotels design and stall definitely aimed to please. Breakfast was outstanding. The room service, minibar, and restaurant are expensive. There are no markets/grocers within a 10 minute walk so that was somewhat frustrating. That said, we were staying slightly above our normal budget range so maybe it's normal at a place that costs EUR 200-300/night.

Spatial aspects of traffic circulation: I. A review of alternative systems
One of the key aims of traffic management is to encourage drivers to follow an efficient routing pattern (i.e. a set of routes that collectively minimise the potential for delays and accidents and possibly also minimise travel distance). At present, little is known about the relative merits of different patterns or how they could be accommodated or encouraged within existing city centre networks. A number of archetypes are compared using total vehicle conflicts and total travel distance as the main criteria. They include several that have not previously appeared in the literature, and, the conflicts are weighted to reflect variations in the severity of the interactions between vehicles carrying out different turning movements at junctions. The results indicate wide variations in the characteristics of different routing patterns and suggest new ways of organising the spatial pattern of traffic circulation as possible alternatives to the conventional gyratory system.

Haven't had your fill of Cheetah print just yet? Nike Basketball's hitting us with another Kobe VII donned in the luxurious print, but with a sporty Grey/Blue/Black colorway that some consider as one the annual (and unofficial) 'Duke' colorway'. Sneaker News first showed you the 'Grey Cheetah' colorway of the Kobe VII a couple of weeks back, so the thought of potentially bringing Cheetah print to the Kobe VII iD quickly came to play (it's clear that Nike isn't shy with Cheetah). We've got another look at this exciting release below, so take a look and let us know if you'd like to see more Cheetah colorways or perhaps Cheetah on Nike iD.

This article originally appeared in the May 2014 issue of SUDEP Aware's "Making Sense of Epilepsy" newsletter.
Physicians and nurses are not always comfortable discussing Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) with their patients. In fact, many patients report that a physician has never addressed the issue of SUDEP with them.
Despite acknowledging the importance of discussing SUDEP, physicians and nurses do not always initiate this conversation and there are no guidelines to encourage it.
In order to better understand when and why healthcare providers have such discussions, we conducted focus groups with US-based epileptologists, neurologists and advanced practice nurses who specialize in epilepsy. This included a total of 43 healthcare providers: 19 epileptologists, 16 neurologists and eight advanced practice nurses. Their responses to questions pertaining to reasons for and against discussing SUDEP, and how they do it, were audio-recorded. Data was analyzed using standard qualitative analysis methodology.
Five key themes FOR the discussion of SUDEP were identified: Practical Accountability, Moral Accountability, Proactivity, Reactivity and Patient Advocacy.
Sometimes it is a sense of Practical Accountability that leads healthcare providers to discuss SUDEP with patients and their families, to ensure informed decision-making. A sense of moral obligation was reported by all the healthcare providers, who shared information when they believed that it was too important to withhold (Moral Accountability).
All three groups discussed SUDEP when triggered by a patient's enquiry or behaviour likely to increase the risk of SUDEP (Reactivity). They also initiated discussion about SUDEP to balance potentially inaccurate information received from other sources (Proactivity). For advanced practice nurses only, the need and right to know of patients and their families was reason to raise the issue of SUDEP(Patient Advocacy).
Three main themes emerged as reasons FOR NOT discussing SUDEP: Not at First, Moral Accountability and Out of Options.
The first theme refers to the need for the healthcare provider and the patient to establish a rapport before discussing SUDEP (Not at First). The second refers to withholding SUDEP information from patients in the belief that SUDEP is poorly understood and difficult to prevent (Moral Accountability). Both of the physician groups chose not to discuss SUDEP when all treatment options had failed, rather than raise anxiety in a situation with no solution for prevention (Out of Options).
All focus groups agreed that ways to discuss SUDEP include using unscripted discussions, together with written and prepared materials. Healthcare providers suggested that while procedures for discussing SUDEP should be somewhat standardized, they should also be tailored to accommodate the specific needs of individual patients.
We recommend that practitioners should actively involve patients in their decision-making processes, including what to discuss with them, to help them to make informed decisions.
The results of the project were published in Epilepsy & Behavior:
Miller, W.R., Young, N., Friedman, D., Buelow, J., Devinsky, O. (2014) Discussing sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) with patients: Practices of health-care providers. Epilepsy & Behavior, 32: 38-41.
