Hopes of a compromise to break the deadlock in Australia on its boatpeople policy faded on Tuesday with politicians trading insults after the latest tragedy left up to 90 people dead.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard offered the opposition conservative coalition fresh talks aimed at narrowing their differences on asylum-seekers, but opposition Leader Tony Abbott showed no interest in accepting.
"I think the prime minister is playing politics with the best of them," Abbott told the Seven Network.
"The prime minister just wants us to accept a dud deal. She hasn't moved on at all."
Canberra clinched a deal last year to send 800 boatpeople to Malaysia in exchange for 4 000 of that country's registered refugees in a bid to deter people-smugglers from the dangerous maritime voyage to Australia.
But Gillard's fragile coalition government was unable to pass the required legislation through parliament without the support of the opposition amid concerns that Malaysia was not a signatory to UN refugee conventions.
The debate was reignited after a boat carrying about 200 people sank on its way to Australia last Thursday.
Rescuers managed to save 110 people and 17 bodies have recovered, but no other survivors have been found. It was the latest in a series of refugee boat disasters in the Indian Ocean in recent years.
Both sides of Australian politics support offshore processing of asylum-seekers but differ on where it should be conducted.
The Labor government has offered to adopt elements of the opposition's policy, including reopening a detention centre on Nauru in the Pacific, if it supports a bill that would allow its Malaysian deal to go ahead.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen blasted Abbott for rejecting a good-faith offer from the government to talk "out of hand without one single centimetre of compromise".
Another Labor MP, parliamentary secretary Mark Dreyfus, accused Abbott of taking political advantage of asylum-seekers dying at sea.
"It's disgraceful the way in which he (Abbott) is approaching this," Dreyfus told reporters.
"You're left thinking that he sees political advantage in people dying. That's the real disgrace of this."
Abbott said Gillard was not being sincere.
"She hasn't picked up the phone. She hasn't dropped me a line. There hasn't been an email," he said.
Though they come in relatively small numbers by global standards, asylum-seekers are a sensitive political issue in Australia, dominating 2010 elections due to a record 6 555 arrivals. - Sapa-AFP

The Laurens County's Emergency Management Department (EMD) provides leadership and assistance in an effort to reduce the loss of life and property within Laurens County. This Department of Laurens County is responsible for planning, integrating and implementing all emergency management related activities dealing with man-made and natural hazards for Laurens County.
The phases of Emergency Management include the following:
• Mitigation - efforts to reduce hazards or their impacts
• Preparedness - efforts to prepare for a likely hazard
• Response - actions taken to respond to an emergency or disaster
• Recovery - actions taken to restore the community to pre-disaster condition
Laurens County EMD Officer is on call twenty four (24) hours a day to provide assistance to fire, police and medical agencies that respond to emergencies throughout Laurens County. As well as available to make presentations to civic and business groups on emergency preparedness topics.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency requires for states and local governments to develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects.
Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. State and local governments engage in hazard mitigation planning to identify natural hazards that impact them, identify strategies and activities to reduce any losses from those hazards, and establish a coordinated approach to implementing the plan, taking advantage of a wide range of resources. Mitigation plans are key to state, tribal, and local governments' efforts to break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
Linked below is the proposed Laurens County Mitigation Plan for 2015. It is still being reviewed and updates are pending.

(its' better than what most people charge for!)
In today's article I'm going to take a kinky look at the often-discussed 80/20 rule. In case you're not aware of it, the rule states that 20% of what you do gives you 80% of your results, so the trick is to find out what that 20% is for you, focus on that and delegate the rest of the stuff.
But here's the kink, we're looking at how 80% of something is actually responsible for most of your results. Another kink is that many people are focused on learning and applying the 20% element of this equation, and hammering away at it whilst getting little or no satisfaction from their results.
This article is based on a fraction of an interview I did with Kerwin Rae recently. Amidst the massive quantity of high quality information and advice he shared, this piece jumped out at me as the starting point to the series of articles I'll be creating from those interviews.
Here's the deal; psychology is 80% of the game. If you've heard this plenty of times before, but you're still unsatisfied with the results you're getting in life, then it means there's still a missing link and you might find it here, so please read on.
Kerwin's created dozens of millionaires in the last ten years. What's fascinating about this is that he's trained thousands of people, yet thousands of people haven't made the shift to becoming millionaires – but a percentage of them have.
From interviewing those who have made the shift and doing his own research, Kerwin knows wealth creation has very little to do with the business techniques and tools, and everything to do with the psychology of the individual. (Techniques and tools for success in business is the 20% of the equation that many people focus 80% of their energy on, but still don't get the results they're after.)
Kerwin explains that your psychology is your operating system. It's built on your beliefs, values, and identity that pre-determines your behaviour. Your psychology, or operating system dictates what kind of information you register about life and the world around you, what decisions you make, what kind of life experiences you have and how you perceive those experiences.
Whether it's wealth creation, health creation, or finding your soul mate, the trick is being able to sense and perceive what's right there in front of you, and what's really going on around you rather than being blindsided by your blind spots.
Kerwin explains that the human brain processes 400 billion bits of information per second, but we're only conscious of 2000 of those bits of information. Becoming more aware or conscious of what's in your environment means learning to see things as they really are, not as you perceive them to be through filters that include your psychological blind spots.
There's a term for these called a "Scotoma". It refers to a psychologically induced blind spot. This means on some level, you haven't observed and registered the existence of something that's present, so you convince yourself it isn't there. Then you eliminate from your awareness all visual information that exists about it.
Kerwin describes how this works in life by using the example of when you go to the kitchen cupboard and look for the salt – but can't see it even though it's right there in front of your face. So you yell out to your partner and ask where the salt is. They walk over and show you that it's on the shelf right in front of you at eye level.
It doesn't matter that the salt was staring you in the face. At that moment, you couldn't see it no matter how hard you looked because your mind hadn't observed and registered any visual information to tell you it was there. This same process applies to making money and creating success in any area of your life.
If your mind, or psychology, isn't observing and registering the information around you that relates to being successful and wealthy, then no matter how hard you look, and how well trained you become in using tools and techniques, your blind spots will keep you from perceiving and acting on what you need to experience success and wealth.
This reminds me of something I heard Sam Stosur's mother say in a radio interview after her daughter's US Open grand slam win last week. When asked about her daughter's success, she said:
"This time she just had everything in place, she had her mind right. Her mind was in the right place and it all came together for her to win."
Sam Stosur has been perfecting the techniques of her game of tennis for years, but winning a grand slam, or success in anything needs more than techniques, you need the right psychology to win.
Kerwin shared with me his own experiences of how his blind spots and his own faulty operating system had got in the way of him experiencing lasting success and fulfilment in his life. Kerwin explained how in the past, he constantly felt like there was this void in his life.
He came from a poor family; his mother was a single mum on a pension. Their idea of a big celebration was to have kiwi fruit on pension day. It wasn't that they didn't have a great life; as kids, they didn't need money to have a good upbringing. But because he didn't have money, when he felt there was something missing, money seemed like the most obvious answer.
The problem was, when Kerwin made money, the void just got bigger! So he thought, "Wow, if it's not money, maybe it's cars!" (That made me giggle internally because it seems like most men jump to that conclusion, which seems very weird to me – but women generally think it's shoes☺). So he started buying flash cars, then houses, then dating model girlfriends and going on expensive holidays around the world.
But the more he did all this, the bigger the void became. The penny dropped when Kerwin returned home from a 7 month trip around the world and had spent a ridiculous amount of money "trying to find himself". He said that as the wheels of the plane literally touched down on the runway, he realized the gaping void was an internal emptiness that he was seeking to fulfil.
Even though Kerwin had a keen interest in learning about psychology for many years, this is when he began to work seriously from the inside out to change his psychology and operating system. And the gaping void gradually became less of an eternal emptiness and more of an enduring satisfaction with life.
Kerwin explains that often the case with relationships, health, wealth, finance and business, is that everything you're seeking is right there in front of you. But you convince yourself that it's not there because your blind spots have eliminated all the visual information that it exists. The only way to discover the things you're seeking is to become more conscious, which means being more aware of the reality of what's present, not just reality as it's been filtered through your blind spots.
If you're operating system is faulty and you think something is missing because you can't sense it in your life, then you will keep looking for it outside of yourself and your blind spots will keep hiding it from you. Like Kerwin and so many others, you could spend a fortune and years of your life looking outside of yourself, or you could start now by working from the inside out.
Psychology is so important because your psychology is 80% responsible for your success in any area of your life AND for your ability to experience lasting fulfilment and satisfaction from your success.
Kerwin runs a number of programs to help entrepreneurs grow their business and increase their profits, but one of his programs "The Power To Create" works to help people create a different psychology or operating system to get the results they're seeking in life. I'll be writing more about this topic in future articles and attending the course later in the year. If you want to master the part of the equation that determines 80% of the success game, I'd thoroughly recommend you come along.
Once again, many thanks for reading, and I'd love to hear any comments you have at the end.
Cheers, Neroli.
Very interesting parallels with the software that you use and great interview too. I'm quite an experienced marketer and still find it hard to make money online.
It can be difficult to spot opportunity when they arise, because many entrepreneurs are looking at the surface when sometimes you have to look deeper at things around you to find things that can help you reach your goal. The 20 percent only comes when you do change mindset and find out what truly matters and then act accordingly. Apple has whole different way of finding an opportunity and truly making it work for their company. You have to get people to think differently in order to spot an opportunity at times.
Something that all money in this world cannot buy, is hiding within our minds! As you said, the obvious is not always obvious. When we were kids, so many things seemed obvious to us but they are not so any more. I guess the primary reason for it is experience. With time comes knowledge and wisdom! A Thought provoking post.
Thank Neroli..very nice article…Where 80% Of Your Success Is Hiding?…I just want to share with you about this…success and failure is more than just a matter of whats on in our's mind, or ou'r psychology…but we have to thingking about our's blue frint..And our's blue print was created and we call it "fate"…the problem is we have a blue print that was done by the creator…and remember…our blind spots and our own faulty operating system work just follow the our's "blue print" and that the "game"…if we do not aware of our "fate" …that's would make all we do against our's fate and would make big problems…the more hard work we do " but against" our fate..The vainer we have…no more inspirations..
..and no more Sam Stosur's Secret To Winning …"This time she just had everything in place, she had her mind right. Her mind was in the right place and it all came together for her to win."
Great advice, i can't believe 20% of what i do accounts for most of my results. That means most of what i do doesn't mean anything. It kind of make sense because i've heard before elsewhere that to increase your success rate you need to double your failure rate.
I can see where you wouldn't want to believe that, Sokun, but it's not that 80% of what you do doesn't matter. Wouldn't that be bleak? The idea is that 20% of what you do will be the most effective tasks for growth toward your goal. The other 80% counts, those task simply aren't the most effective things you've done.
Mindblowing and Interesting too…
Thanks a lot for this now I have to get work on my psychologically induced blind spot which really matters lot for me in my daily routine as the same like you have given example of not getting salt which is just infront of our eyes.
I've always said the reason new bloggers fail is because they spend too much time and effort focused on and writing about the technical and not enough time on the psychology behind their tactics but this articles puts it beautifully, Neroli. I never thought about how big a roll this could play in findning success, but now you've really got me thinking.
Hi Neroli, I am too tired (big day) to write but as I read and listened to my mind 3 things I relate to in business.
1.The salt is the preservation ….cash flow
2.The spice is the core of a business
3. The pepper is what keeps us on our toes.
The recipe to success when you can understand this analogy is simple.
Kerwin from his experienes has learnt to look outside the square and pantry:)
Delegate andlearn this great art , shows you know how to trust, Faith comes when you have no fear, Truth is believing..I know it sounds all a bit too philosophical ….and the key is STRATEGY!!! have them in place and ready…:A Strategy is our execution , no not die..!!! 🙂 and I am sure Kerwin understands that one…If at first it fails make sure you have your next move/strategy ready planned.! In reference to voids TBC..night sweet lady..xx great article as usual ! 🙂
sorry about typos..it's late..xx
Hi Neroli, I didn't actually know about the 80/20 rule but it is really interesting. Psychology does play a big role in anything. I have noticed a lot of times that with the competition staying close, I have won or failed a lot of times in my life just based on my psychological approach to the task. That made the biggest difference.
It is quite incredible that we are only conscious of 2000 of 400 billion bits of information that we take in. The salt example is a good one. I watched a program on TV a while back where a test was being carried out and how the same person's success rate of intercepting a particular blip on the screen amid a jumble of other graphics kept changing each time he did it, basically the more conscious that he got of what was right in front of him.
The problem in finding the 80% hidden success is because there is no metrics involved. Say for example, when applying this 80/20 rule in marketing (even applicable for internet marketing) we have metrics to measure. Same rule with traditional advertising. But when you say in online money making scenario, how can we apply that.
For eg: Say a website is trying to improve ad click CTR. Though one can tweak and measure, there is always room for improvement right. How would one crisp and find the max optimal rate? Its definitely impossible! Just my opinion. Open for thoughts !
I just love that 'Scotoma' it is actually a Greek word for 'in the dark ' besides the fact the Greeks gave a lot to western civilization and is more than likely going to be the catalyst for some major world shifts in all of the above, however ! I will get to that another time along with the psychology and number crunching:) Am I doing it right? The 80/20.
After listening to your interview again this morning with my fix of a wake up coffee I realised one part of Kerwin's story I relate to. That four letter word. No not the 'F'word…VOID! It really triggered an emotional memory of my own journey to the state of feeling quite down. Then as I continued to, as one does, think and pondered over something that just sits in my stomach connected to my mind:) I logically try to put some perspective in not only Kerwin's story however my own which is somewhat similar. I was almost mad at you Kerwin!!! for triggering a sensitive point 🙂 until my brain separated the two.
• Emotion versus logic and looked at the positive side of VOID.
If you look up the word on Wilkpedia it has no reference to emotion. It is initially 'Void (astronomy), the empty spaces between galaxy filaments' . Yes you might argue it's synonym 'Empty or meaningless'.
Hang on all those voids we all have on finding ourselves and our search for self satisfaction , spiritual or business journey can be taken in a positive way and not as emptiness, that gap will always widen if you are a high achiever and there is nothing wrong with rewarding yourself with whatever might take your fancy at the time.
Men and their toys, we love them too, yes! Neroli, shoes as you mention ,clothes , luxury , expensive perfume etc. All the things that money can buy when we work damned hard for it, besides for every cent you spent you have helped to put bread on someone's else table. 'What a great excuse for spending 🙂
Then at some point you find yourself evolving after reaping the rewards of hard work and what got your rocks off back then doesn't do it for you today. So you move on to 'NEXT'!
One can look at this in two ways. Money doesn't necessarily buy you happiness but on the other hand it damn well can help you to find it. I am writing this as I have always had an ability of listening to my intuition and when I don't I could kick myself for it. It's a women's thing usually you might say but we all have it and Kerwin would in his own journey understand and teach this. Without getting to much into my own personal detail because this is Neroli's interview and Kerwin's story . A girlfriend calls me to say " I have a spare ticket to this Ultimate Business Seminar " It is for 3 days and Anthony Robbins with Richard Branson were guest speakers. My girlfriend says "Anna ( as I am known) come along you will enjoy meeting my friends " . Ok I was trying to fill a void of socialising and meeting new friends. I was on the 'NEXT ' phase of my journey and thought it's time to widen my network and meet some new people for social events. I certainly was not going for the intention of any money making schemes and the people I met at the time were from all different work related industries. Some successful, others I had the sense were not likely to ever be self employed. Which is fine, success does not mean you need to be self employed. A mother raising children or a man learning to change a nappy is a success in their own right.
Back to that word VOID..! Here I was sitting freezing to death , yawning at some of the speakers that had all this quick rich schemes and if you really believe that some of those opportunities exist today (apologies should this sound offensive) then I suggest you start looking around at 'Today' and the major world changes taking place. I never thought I would live to see a war however we are in the midst of one it is not 'opla' The Greek word for explosives and bombs. I see it as an economic war and a change for the new way of living be it business or other as in Kerwin's talk.
So I sit through 3 days of listening, taking notes and then here comes on stage Kerwin. Within seconds this person grabbed my full attention, first with his visuals and his humane stories amongst his marketing values. I thought finally someone making some real sense here combining real truths about success and the fact I love marketing.It is a great fulfilment. So I signed up for his Masterclass. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I could only attend one day. My only complaint was 'by the way' I kept to myself, I am freezing, turn that bloody aircon down. For once I shut up put up and listened. Well known trick to keep us from falling asleep is to turn the aircon up:)
Kerwin's company was kind enough to allow me to return in this coming November to finish the course.(looking forward to it) In the interim I follow Kerwin on Facebook and amongst many comments from his students and friends I meet the lovely Neroli above and a beautiful friendship has developed with a like minded person.
After this morning's episode of taking the VOID as a negative emotional trigger I now realise how positive a VOID in my life has turned out. The universe is connecting me to like minded people that is finally inspiring me to pursue that void that I knew was there and did nothing about it until recent.
So my dear Neroli and Kerwin another parallel of synchronicity ! Now I will look at a 'VOID' not as a negativity in my life, instead I will perceive it as a daisy flower. Not 'he loves me not or yes he does' and what will the outcome be. 'Will I or will I not' and look forward to the result and always use this metaphor as a rebirth just as a flower blossoms in the springtime. Thank you both for the great food for thought and changing a perception within me that grows like an unwanted weed in our gardens. You changed my thinking today so much that I will never feel like something is missing , I will pull that weed out and plant a new seed!
P.S to Kerwin, thank you for very cleverly saving me the embarrassment of spelling your name wrong on FB. Now that is professionalism at it's best.!!! One very clever man and a beautiful woman on every level.!Neroli 🙂 xx
I believe that wealth creation is all in the mind. Just like the cliche" What the mind can perceive, the body can achieve". 🙂
Well, Yeah, I have to achieve to you to some extend but not completely. In today's marketing world we need to plan and execute things. With just thinking it is not going to happen right?
Customer Services makes up the bulk of the 20%
We might need to look in from a broader perspective. Not only customer service will enable people to bring the profits. It is research, quality of product, market saturation in a niche, competition and pricing will come into picture. Just my 2 cents !
[…] View the original here: The 80/20 Rule For Making Money – Entrepreneurs-Journey.com […]
I never thought that there are rule named after on this concept. I use this almost 3 years ago.
Very inspiring. I never really thought that being successful could be achieve this way. I mean yes, there are values that are needed and there's also tools but i never really look at it this way. Thanks for a very creative and inspiring post. It's quite lengthy but i sure learned a lot from this write up.
Great post! The power to create is actually from within. This is so inspiring and motivating. Thanks.

Apple MacBook Replaces iBook Line
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Corporate News, PC / Laptop
Apple has unveiled the second-to-last computer in their hardware line to transition from PowerPC to Intel architecture (unless, of course, you count Xserve.) The consumer-level MacBook has replaced the aging iBook line, and for the price, it look impressive. The MacBook has an Intel Core Duo processor that clocks in at either 1.83GHz OR 2.0GHz depending on your configuration. The screen is 13.3-inches and sports a glossy finish. According to Apple, the screen is 79% brighter and has 30% more viewing area that the iBook did. Not too shabby. The product is rounded out by Front Row, the Apple Remote, built-in iSight, and MagSafe power adapter. The MacBook is available in three configurations. You can get the 1.83GHz model with a combo drive for $1099, or the 2.0GHz version with a SuperDrive for $1299. There is also a black-colored model that sells for $1499 and includes an 80GB hard drive - an upgrade from the standard 60GB drive found in the other models.

|Friday April 19, 2002
From farm boy to emerging Swans star hasn't been an easy row to hoe for Ricky Mott, writes Jonathan Pearlman.
Hollywood would have paid millions for The Ricky Mott Story. A young and sturdy lad from a long line of wheat and sheep farmers in Western Australia shows some footballing promise. The schoolboy champion who makes the junior state side, performs well and is selected as an All-Australian.
But then, at the 1999 draft, he watches on as his schoolmates and teammates are picked up by national clubs and he is forced to go back to the 7000-hectare drought-stricken farm and play for the local side, the Kukerin/Dumbleyung Cougars.
For two years he divides his time between football and the farm. He is available for the 2001 draft but watches on forlornly as the bids go flying without a mention of his name. Then, at the last moment, a club from the other side of the country - the Sydney Swans - calls him out as its final-round pick.
The Swans think of him only as a back-up ruckman but, when their first two ruckmen are injured in the pre-season, young Ricky is called up from oblivion to join the senior team. He takes on the likes of superstars Matthew Primus and Matthew Allan and holds his own.
But the most tragic element of Mott's story - and the primary reason for his implacable self-drive - was the sudden death of his father, Howard, of a heart attack in 1998.
"The children were all so young when Howard passed away," says Ricky's mother, June.
With the added pressure of the drought, the talk among the local farmers was that Ricky should come back from Perth - where he was concentrating on his football - and help his mother on the farm.
"I was dead against it," says June. "I said to Ricky: 'You can do it. And you will do it. I'll employ people to work on the farm.' I felt he had a lot to give to football."
Mott was a member of the WA team that scored a surprise victory in the 1999 national under-18 championships. But, despite his talent, he was unfit and overweight. The Swans' national recruiting manager, Rick Barham, remembers Mott as "cumbersome and slow".
"He lived in the country and hadn't had the same sort of preparation as the city kids," Barham says.
But Mott was the only member of his state side to be selected in the 1999 All-Australian team. He was named best on ground in the match against the much favoured Josh Fraser and fancied his chances when he nominated for that year's draft. Then, as June recalls, "we had to sit and wait".
On the night of the draft, he and his family gathered round the television in the lounge room at the farm. Fraser was the first to be drafted. Six of Mott's teammates followed.
When, by the end, Ricky realised his name was not going to be called, he was devastated.
So, in 2000, he found himself back with the Cougars, trying to decide between farm and football. Cougars coach John Ditchburn recollects: "He loves farming and his family are very good farmers. So he went back home to weigh up his options."
In the end, Ricky chose football. He nominated for the draft in 2000 and again missed out. Last year he played for South Fremantle in the WAFL, helping them to the grand final.
Then he decided to nominate for the draft again.
Meanwhile, the recruitment committee at the Swans was beginning to consider its needs for 2002.
"Greg Stafford was traded to Richmond in our quest to get Barry Hall, and Stephen [Doyle] had a horrendous run of injuries," says Barham. "So in our meetings leading up to the draft we thought we needed a back-up ruckman."
There were still some nerves for the Mott family, who stayed tuned to the draft via the Internet. The first four rounds went by without success.
"We watched the numbers go and go and go," remembers June. "A lot of teams had started to pass. Next minute we saw it pop up on the computer. How can one forget?"
Ricky was the 74th pick.
As Barham says: "If we hadn't taken him, I don't think anyone else would."
But Mott was only intended as the Swans' third back-up ruckman behind Jason Ball and the emerging Doyle. He immediately made it clear there was nothing he wouldn't do to lose that "slow and cumbersome" tag and make the seniors.
"He'll do all these extras," says Swans ruck coach Steve Taubert, "sitting down for another half-hour and looking at a tape, or speaking to the wrestling coach about balance and holding his position."
During the pre-season Ball and then Doyle were injured and Mott suddenly found himself in the senior team. He was included in the Swans' pre-season semi-final team against Port Adelaide, where he had to face Primus.
Though the Swans lost, Mott showed he could compete in the middle against the league's finest ruckman.
"It was then the coaching staff started to say, 'Gee through circumstances this kid has had a chance and he's been fantastic'," says Taubert. "He really enjoys that ruck contest where a lot of guys look for a way to avoid it. That's hard to pick up in general training. It's only when they get to a game that you get to see they have that ability.
"His dreams have been coming true every minute and every minute should be savoured."

There was a time—prior to the invention of intercontinental ballistic missiles, cloning, and genetically modified foods—that technology held little threat. In fact, during the summer of 1955, scientific advances were making the lives of American consumers demonstrably easier. That Dacron polyester shirt dried fast and never needed ironing. Your car could open up out on the new interstate. And if you got hungry, you could always pull into this new chain called McDonald's and get your burger to go. There's another way of putting all this: The notions of ease and mobility were coming together to create a staple of consumerism that's still very much with us—portability.
Nowhere was that idea more important than when it came to playing your tunes. As the 1955 ad at right shows, brands like Motorola had shrunk down their radio ballasts to the point where consumers—long accustomed to sitting at home in front of receivers the size of steamer trunks—could suddenly go to the beach with Elvis Presley.
"This was still the golden age of new technology that was going to make us all very happy," observes Stuart Leslie, president of New York-based branding and design firm 4sight inc. "Portability represented a lot of the promise of that new technology."
And as technology improved, it was portability that enabled brands to market the evolving science in a way that everyone could follow. (When it came to selling the confusing contents of an electronic box, all a marketer really had to say is that you could take the box with you.) Did consumers care that the Motorola Citation worked on four vacuum tubes and a 90-volt, 60-cell battery? Hardly. They cared that its "Roto-Tenna" would pull in their favorite AM station while they sat in the yard with a cold Schlitz.
Move through the 56 years that separate these two ads—through tubes, transistors, 8-tracks, cassettes, and microchips—and you'll see the same marketing scheme still at work. Can the average iPod user explain how his favorite song ends up as a string of 0s and 1s in an MP3 file, routed through the speakers of a Bose SoundDock Portable? Likely not. What matters is that the sound quality's good—and that it'll follow you where you go. (The beautiful outdoor setting [below] is a potent reminder of this latter fact—though a similar backdrop is curiously missing from the Motorola Citation ad.)
One Cold War and a lot of technology patents later, portability remains a powerful marketing concept because it still says "ease" and "freedom" in a single word that doesn't sound dated. "Portability is still valid," Leslie says, "because it speaks to making your life better." And be it 1955 or 2011, that remains a message nobody minds hearing.

Salted Butter
I don't eat butter on a weekly or even monthly basis. In fact, the only time I do buy butter is when I cook during the holidays. Thats when all health and dietary concerns are off. For example, the butter that goes into my candied yams and sweet potato biscuits.
Candied yams! Yaaayyyyy!Added 9 Years Ago from Freshdirect
I have two uses for Baker's tasty coconut flakes. 1. Coconut Cake 2. Candied yams Perfect.
Sugar! It's only in my cabinet during the holidays when the baking festivities begin.
My boyfriend likes it when I make him homemade spicy fries in the broiler. They come out crispy as if they were actually fried. I also quarter and roast them with my Thanksgiving turkey.Added 9 Years Ago from Freshdirect

The National Opportunities Fund is funding the development of 40 new cardiac rehabilitation centres, through the British Heart Foundation.
Studies have shown rehab to reduce the risk of further attacks in heart patients by almost a third.
Around 160,000 people have a heart attack, and 27,000 require surgery each year in the UK.
There are currently only a few centres around the UK that offer cardiac rehabilitation.
The British Heart Foundation will help set up new centres through Primary Care Trusts around the country.
Trusts have been invited to bid for grants of between £20,000 and £120,000 before June this year.
'Better quality of life'
These centres will offer programs tailored to each patient.
According to Dr Charmaine Griffiths at the British Heart Foundation, this is a major step up from programs offered by hospitals.
"In hospitals patients undergo regimented programs where they will do different exercises in weekly blocks," she told BBC News Online.
The new centres will provide patients with educational and psychological support, along with sessions in tai chi, aqua aerobics, quitting smoking and healthy cooking and eating.
Dr Griffiths said studies have shown this type of rehabilitation to be almost as good as beta blockers.
These are drugs that block the hormone adrenalin, which make the heart beat faster. Beta blockers are often used to prevent heart attacks in people who have already had them.
Baroness Jill Pitkeathley, Chair of the New Opportunities Fund said the centres would give people with heart problems a better quality of life.
"The British Heart Foundation's vision for cardiac rehabilitation puts people at the heart of the healing process and will provide greater choice when it comes to accessing services," she said.
The funding is part of £297 from the New Opportunities for Health programme that aims to reduce heart disease, cancer and stroke in England.
Professor Sir Charles, Medical Director of the British Heart Foundation said it is important that people suffering heart problems receive sustained support and care to ensure they make a full recovery.
"This indivual approach can improve people's success in making necessary lifestyle changes and help them return to as full and normal a life as possible."

Medical Definition of Reservoir of infection
Reservoir of infection: Any person, animal, plant, soil or substance in which an infectious agent normally lives and multiplies. The reservoir typically harbors the infectious agent without injury to itself and serves as a source from which other individuals can be infected. The infectious agent primarily depends on the reservoir for its survival. It is from the reservoir that the infectious substance is transmitted to a human or another susceptible host.

Karachi, Aug 8 (ANI): Former Pakistani team manager Naveed Akram Cheema has said that he hopes that the spectre of match fixing will never return to his team again.
According to the Express Tribune, Pakistan cricket was in tatters when Cheema came to manage the national team in the aftermath of the 2010 spot-fixing controversy, adding that since then, the controversial team has avoided a repeat of the debacle.
However, the report said that the bureaucrat Cheema has parted ways with the team after a shuffle in his government job and former captain Moin Khan will take his place for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe.
Stating that things had changed drastically since 2010, the outgoing manager said that with his experience as a manager, he is hopeful that all the players are poised to fight the spectre of match-fixing and keep the sport away from it, adding that the players have learnt a lesson from the menace and are well aware of the dangers now.
Dismissing a report claiming foul play during the recent one-day international series between Pakistan and West Indies, Cheema also said that he is honoured to have held this position with a team of 'highly qualified professionals cherished by millions of fans'.
According to Cheema, he never compromised on discipline and is delighted that there were no controversies during his term.
Meanwhile, Moin Khan said that he will try his best to take the responsibility of the role in a befitting manner given that he is known to most of the players, although he added that there would be no compromise on discipline and would make its implementation his top priority. (ANI)

|Summary note:
|During the Cold War, superpowers amassed nuclear arsenals containing the explosive power of one million Hiroshimas. The Soviet Union secretly plotted to create the "Dead Hand," a system designed to launch an automatic retaliatory nuclear strike on the United States, and developed a fearsome biological warfare machine. President Ronald Reagan, hoping to awe the Soviets into submission, pushed hard for the creation of space-based missile defenses. This, the first full account of how the arms race finally ended, provides an unprecedented look at the inner motives and secret decisions of each side. Drawing on top-secret documents from deep inside the Kremlin, memoirs, and interviews in both Russia and the United States, David Hoffman introduces the scientists, soldiers, diplomats, and spies who saw the world sliding toward disaster and tells the gripping story of how Reagan, Gorbachev, and many others struggled to bring the madness to an end.--From publisher description.

WMA started in 2010 as a result of a Think Tank conference held in Sparta, Wisconsin, in which Montessorians from around the state volunteered to meet and discuss issues pertinent to Montessori education. It became clear to the twelve members attending that interests would be best met by forming an statewide organization to represent all Montessori schools and interests in the state.
A second meeting in Weston, Wisconsin, culminated with the by-laws, and a third meeting produced the Interim Board of Directors and goals for the coming year. The Articles of Incorporation and 501c3 papers were submitted in 2011 officially establishing WMA as a non-profit organization. On March 5, 2011, the first WMA Annual Conference was attended by over 100 members.
- Hold an annual conference and meeting of the full membership.
- Sponsors regional lecture series on Montessori pedagogy and practice
- Sponsors workshops for Governance Boards
- Connects experts, information and resources within the Wisconsin Montessori community
- Coordinates video-conferencing opportunities
- Provide and coordinates grant, start-up, and continuing consultation to Montessori schools.
- Serve as a networking hub for job opportunities, program development, and marketing.

text: Writing checks for your remodeling project is never fun. The amounts can be staggering and there's always the concern that maybe you didn't get all the value you were due. Besides, every check written means you have less leverage over your contractor. Payday gives contractors the jitters, too. Although pros like to get paid, homeowners often save up their frustration until check-writing time and then unload it. Both of you can avoid this stress by agreeing on a fair payment structure. Then schedule separate progress meetings to review any concerns or complaints you have, no reason to further complicate these meetings with check writing.

Michael Lee-Chin Crystal
Daniel Libeskind
Toronto, Canada
The Royal Ontario Museum project set out to renovate ten new galleries in the existing historical building and creating an extension to the museum, now called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal.
Approximately half of this building is devoted to gallery space, while the ground floor features a spacious new entrance and lobby as well as a new retail shop accessible directly from the street. Also included are three new restaurants.
/Daniel Libeskind
This building tells a unique and a particular story which crystallizes the ROM's programmatic content and the singularity of the site. The Crystal transforms the character of ROM into an inspired atmosphere dedicated to the resurgence of the Museum as the dynamic center of Toronto.
The Michael Lee-Chin Crystal derives its name from the building's five intersecting volumes, which are reminiscent of crystals. The intersection of two of the crystals, each of which is dedicated to new galleries, creates a void, known as the Spirit House.
Essentially a large atrium rising from below ground level to the fourth floor, and containing a number of criss-crossing bridges at various levels, the Spirit House is intended to be a place for visitors to reflect upon the exhibitions they have experienced in one of the gallery spaces before moving on to the next.
A fourth crystal, known as the Stair of Wonders, is dedicated to vertical circulation but also features exhibition vitrines at the landings.
A fifth crystal houses the major new restaurant which cantilevers over the existing West Wing galleries and provides panoramic views of downtown.
The intersecting spaces of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal create a variety of atriums at different levels, affording views into galleries and other spaces within the Museum.
The building envelope consists of two layers, a water-shedding skin covered by champagne-colored anodized aluminum extrusions that shimmer in the sunlight, and in the nighttime pick up the glow of the city. Approximately 20 percent of the facade is pierced by windows that provide views out of the building, but also into the building and the galleries, thereby furthering the link between the Museum and passers-by.
/Daniel Libeskind
The program of the Royal Ontario Museum provided a wonderful opportunity for dramatic new architecture and the creation of a great public attraction. The centrality of the site intensifies the profound relationship between history and the new, between tradition and innovation. The historical buildings, complemented by forward-looking and bold architecture, form an ensemble which regenerates the urban significance of the Museum, solves the complex functional issues, and dramatically improves exhibitions, facilities, programming and amenities. The Crystal is an interlocking form which turns this important corner of Toronto into a luminous beacon - a veritable showcase of people, events and objects, transforming the entire museum complex into a world-class destination.

Various web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer (IE), Netscape, or Firefox) have tools to turn on or off text windows called "Pop-ups". When visiting unfamiliar web pages, it is precautionary to block these pop-up windows as they could be used to display annoying ads or possibly impose a security risk. However, several applications at UH require these pop-up windows and they should be added as "trusted" sites. One is the MyUH site: http://myuhportal.hawaii.edu used for registration, and the other is the UH Web Mail site: https://mail.hawaii.edu
This document describes how to use the pop-up blocker in IE for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). With SP2 installed for Windows XP, IE has a built-in pop-up blocker. The built-in pop-up blocker also has the ability to let you specify certain web pages to allow pop-ups. This feature allows you to have the built-in pop-up blocker turned on and still be able to access web pages that require pop-ups (e.g. UH Web Mail).
Open an Internet Explorer (IE) window. On the menu bar located at the top left hand corner, select the Tools menu. In the Tools menu, run your mouse over the Pop-up Blocker option. An expanded menu will appear to the right of the Pop-up Blocker option. If your pop-up blocker is currently on, you will see the option Turn Off Pop-up Blocker and Pop-up Blocker Settings.
If your pop-up blocker is turned off, click on the option Turn On Pop-up Blocker.
To set specific web pages to allow pop-ups, you need to turn on the pop-up blocker. With the pop-up blocker on, select the Pop-up Blocker Settings… option. If you do not have the pop-up blocker on, you will not be able to click this option.
A new window titled Pop-up Blocker Settings will open. In this window, type in the web address of the page you wish to allow pop-ups. To set the UH Web Mail to allow pop-ups, type mail.hawaii.edu in the Address of Web site to allow box and click the Add button.
After you click the Add button, the site you wish to allow should be listed in the Allowed sites section.
Repeat this process for adding myuhportal.hawaii.edu to the Allowed sites. Click the Close button to close the Pop-up Blocker Settings window.

My name is Isabelle Epskamp and I'm from Chicago, Illinois. I'm a freshmen at Boston University and I'm currently in the school of communications. I plan on majoring in public relations with a minor in marketing.
Fashion has always been a passion of mine. When I was a little kid my favorite gifts were always the clothes I received and from then on my love for fashion grew. In seventh grade I began to constantly read fashion magazines. I had a subscription to Seventeen, Elle, and Marie Claire. I became obsessed with reading the articles and looking at every picture, making sure that I read the magazine cover to cover multiple times. In high school I took a journalism class and eventually started writing for my school newspaper. Although I never was able to write about fashion, I still loved writing the articles.
I'm so excited to be writing for CollegeFashionista because I feel like this internship is bringing me closer to achieving the type of career that I plan to pursue. I can't imagine having a job that doesn't consist of fashion or writing, so this internship is the perfect combination. My ideal career is writing for a magazine like Elle or Marie Claire.
When I'm not spending all my time being a student, I devote a lot of my time to fashion. I love looking at blogs and magazines. I find a lot of my style inspiration from the blogs that I follow. I also love traveling. Traveling to new places always inspires new ideas about fashion for me. My love for fashion continues to grow everyday and I couldn't be more ecstatic to be writing for CollegeFashionista.

Coors Field will turn fly balls to home runs. The air is thinner, and it's just going to happen. What Fiers doesn't want to do is change the way he works, just because he got clobbered in one game.
It's all about taking it game by game. Fiers probably knew that this was going to happen at some point. If I were him, I wouldn't look at how his ERA jumped to 2.63. I wouldn't go out and see what I can change in my throw, stance, etc. Just pitch the way that you learned. The style that got you to the majors shouldn't change just because you got creamed.
Coming into this game, Fiers was crushing it. He pitched a near-perfect game against the Reds, and that's nothing to play down, just because he couldn't find his pitches at Coors Field. Eight earned runs in two innings will crush you, but you have to pick yourself back up and be ready to go once again. Prior to this debacle he was averaging 6.5 strikeouts per game, and doing that over roughly six innings of baseball. Don't be like Gallardo, and struggle for a few more starts before going back to what you know. Just play your game Fiers, and you will be fine.

Quake 4
Review by Boxman_1990
"A quake with no magnitude."
Quake 4
Gameplay (7 out of 10): Good, not excellent, but it gets the job done. Intense firefights suffer from some nasty lag, but what do you really expect from a first-generation game? The game has some awesome WOW!! moments, like when you force-feed a helpless creature until it explodes, that really make you want to keep on playing to see more. Casual gamers may find the lag and high difficulty to be frustrating, but FPS purists will find solid gameplay and a competent narrative.
Story (7 out of 10): A crash similar to the one in the opening of Quake 2 sends you careening into the hellhole known as Stroggos to take part in a decade long war between humans and the alien Strogg. After one two many backfiring plans, you undergo a startling transformation that gives you an extreme advantage against the Strogg and that's all I'm going to say on the subject.
Graphics (8 out of 10): Quake 4 is of those few games whose graphics actually deserve to be called Next-gen. The Strogg and their weapons look amazing, but as I said earlier, the lag is consistent and highly annoying. If you can handle that, then you'll have no problem with Quake 4's graphics.
Multiplayer (9 out of 10): A truly awesome twitch fest that will appeal to the type of person who likes Halo and Mountain Dew, at the same time. If you like fast games that require little to no conscious thought, then you've found Cloud Nine.
Audio (7 out of 10): It's sad but true that a game's audio is only noticed when a game is really good or really bad. For better or for worse I didn't notice it, take that however you want to, chap.
Achievements (9 out of 10): Nearly impossible achievements, like getting to the top of the online Leaderboards haunt the online-achievements, but the single player achievements are much more manageable, like finishing an entire level with one specific weapon. One caveat, when you complete the storyline on a higher difficulty, you don't get the achievements for the lower difficulties.
Buy or Rent?: Buy, if you want to get the difficult achievements that take a long time to, for lack of a better word, achieve. If not, rent.
Overall (7 out of 10): For hardcore gamers only, a mediocre game that finds a niche in the small market of 360 shooters, should be enjoyable to FPS fans, but if you played either of the first two Quake games, then you're missing out on a whole lot.

Searching. Searching for anything that resembled a women's basketball team that was favored to win the Mid-Amercian Conference. This is what 817 fans saw in the first half at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center, where the 1-7 Northern Illinois Huskies were giving the Golden Flashes a difficult time Saturday. But suddenly in the second half, Kent State found itself, scored 60 points and saved a 20-game home winning streak in the MAC with a 96-61 trouncing of the Huskies. It gave the Flashes a 3-0 conference record and a 5-6 overall mark. "We were very tentative in the first half," said Kent State coach Bob Lindsay. "Our play was barely mediocre. We turned the ball over too much (18 times). "But we played well in the second half. We changed some alignments and picked up our defense. We got some easy baskets and went to the foul line." Northern Illinois coach Liz Galloway was in shock when she read the game stats in the interview room. "We are not playing well right now," said Galloway. "We are a young team and we don't believe in ourselves. That 60 points in the second half is a whole game to most teams. "We buckle under pressure. Kent State knows how to apply it. We have the talent but our morale is so low." The first half was about as bad an exhibition of basketball as Kent State has had in Lindsay's tenure. The Flashes had a height advantage, but failed to use it. Guards were turning the ball over at midcourt. No one could make an entry pass into the post. All in all, it was amazing that Kent State had a 36-28 lead at halftime. A case in point was an uncontested 3-point shot made by Huskie Charbea Haller at the buzzer just four seconds after Kent State had scored. Lindsay denied giving the team a pep talk at halftime, but the Flashes were late in appearing back for the start of the second half. "We just addressed what we had to do," said Lindsay. "We picked up our defense." That all may be true, but the appearance of Alana Bader in the lineup two minutes into the second half seemed to lift the Flashes. Bader hit a soft jumper to give the Flashes a 38-30 lead. A minute later she hit a layup, then another. Her steal and subsequent 3-pointer put the Flashes ahead 51-37 and forced Northern Illinois into calling a timeout. "I just want to be ready when the coach calls on me," said Bader, who was Kent State's leading scorer with 17 points. Lindsay complimented Bader by saying, "She is a good athlete who can do a lot of things. Her minutes will go up as she gets more consistent in her play."
From there on it was all Flashes. The ball went into the low post, and 6-foot-5 freshman Julie Studer responded with 10 points in her first appearance in the MAC Center. Another freshman, Liz Beggs, also was effective down low, as was senior Anne Chicorelli (11 points). "We are trying to get our freshmen playing time," said Lindsay. "Studer has only been available the last four games. Carrie Nance is starting to get better. It just takes time." It helped that senior Carrie Templin had her usual good game. She scored 16 points and pulled in a team-high five rebounds. Guard Ashley Bland scored 13 points, which included a 9-of-9 effort from the foul line. In fact, Kent State was 40-of-51 from the charity stripe. Kent State will host Ball State Monday at 7 p.m.

Aaah, technology, when you need it -- it breaks.
President Barack Obama urged Congress to act Thursday afternoon to keep interest rates on some federal student loans from jumping. His 20-minute speech was supposed to be followed online by a live Twitter chat to answer all our questions on the impending "rate hike," but alas, the site crashed. So while we missed out on that, let's catch you up to speed on today's press conference and how it affects all of us paying back all that paper that helped us get paper.
As it stands, next month federal Stafford subsidized rates are set to double, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. According to Obama, that's the equivalent of a $1,000 tax hike on more than 7 million people. I don't know about you, but that's not chump change. Today the president said: "The average student who borrows to pay for college now graduates owing about $26,000 in their student loans."
Using that example, while it doesn't seem that bad when you are paying $50 more a month, by the end of the loan, you would have paid about $5,200 in interest -- not including any late payments or forbearance periods you may have racked up along the way. If you are one of those recent grads who's having a hard time finding a job -- that's a ton of cash.
The rate is expected to jump because the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 reduced the rate through this year, and now it's set to expire. Republicans and Democrats agree that they don't want it to expire, but what they can't agree on is how to pay for it.
In a nutshell, Obama is asking Congress Rodney King-style (R.I.P.) -- "Can't we all just get along" -- and work together to get this solved.
Do you think we should extend the low loan rate? What is the best way to do it without incurring more debt? Tell us!

While no one disputes the idea that any sex trafficking is too much sex trafficking, and that people caught in that evil trade are usually there unwillingly, there is ample reason to dispute what has become an annual refrain: that the Super Bowl attracts the highest level of sex trafficking.
Like the lie that domestic violence is highest on Super Bowl Sunday, this claim seems targeted at sports-loving men. Those animals!
Some attribute the genesis of this lie to then Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (now a candidate for Texas Governor) who, in 2011, said that the Super Bowl is "commonly known as the single largest human trafficking incident in the United States." However, others have noted these stories go back at least 2 years earlier.
But there simply isn't any evidence this is actually the case.
From The Gospel Coalition: FactChecker: Super Bowl Sex Trafficking and Other Myths
Human trafficking is one of the greatest evils of our age. But contrary to the claim of Abbott — and journalists who repeat the claim every year — there is no evidence that sex trafficking increases during the Super Bowl.
According to the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women, police departments in cities hosting the Super Bowl deny that sex trafficking increases around the game:
2008: Phoenix police Sergeant Tommy Thompson: "We may have had certain precincts that were going gangbusters looking for prostitutes, but they were picking up your everyday street prostitutes. They didn't notice any sort of glitch in the number of prostitution arrests leading up to the Super Bowl."
2009: Tampa police spokeswoman Andrea Davis: "We didn't see a huge influx in prostitutes coming into Tampa. The arrests were not a lot higher. They were almost the same."
2010: Miami police said they arrested 14 for prostitution. Those figures are not uncommon for large cities during a seven-day period, experts said.
2011: Public information officer Sherri Jeffrey with the Dallas Police Department: There were "zero arrests for trafficking in the time frame surrounding the Super Bowl."
Sports on Earth: The Sex Trafficking Super Bowl Myth
The persistence of the Super Bowl sex-trafficking myth can be credited to the theatrical quality of its anecdotes. McCain's activism originated with an experience she had while shopping in Calcutta. She heard noises under the shop floor and looked down. "I could see all these little eyes looking up at me, and I realized it was probably 30 little girls, looking up through the floorboards at me," she said. "I realized at that time that it was very serious, and these girls were either enslaved or being trafficked, but the kicker was [that] I walked out of that shop, and I never did anything." Afterwards, McCain approached Arizona governor Jan Brewer to propose taking action on trafficking, and the state's Task Force on Human Trafficking was created.
The Wire: The Super Bowl Sex-Trafficking Story That Just Won't Die
In 2012, The Houston Press's Peter Kotz thoroughly tore apart that story, explaining that law enforcement officials in the cities where past Super Bowls occurred never actually saw increases in prostitution busts or the number of trafficked prostitutes, even despite increased efforts to catch johns, pimps, and traffickers. "We didn't see a huge influx in prostitutes coming into Tampa. The arrests were not a lot higher. They were almost the same," a Tampa police spokeswoman said in 2009, and a police spokesperson in Phoenix said in 2008 that there was nothing out of the ordinary: "We may have had certain precincts that were going gangbusters looking for prostitutes, but they were picking up your everyday street prostitutes," and not foreign women "imported" for the event.
National Post: Sex and the Super Bowl: Is the big game really a magnet for prostitution and human trafficking?
"This myth trivializes trafficking … and wastes needed resources that could be used to actually address trafficking," said Julie Ham, author of a 2011 study on human trafficking and major sporting events for the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women.
"This is part of a larger moral panic about trafficking, which reduces all trafficking to sex. All trafficking is not about sex," said Pardis Mahdavi, professor in anthropology at Pomona College, Cal., whose research focuses on human trafficking.

Hotflush April Fools Day April 01, 2016 09:30
There's literally NOTHING to look forward to this weekend because, and I swear that this is the last time I'll chew on this bit of meat, there is NO Week of Techno to look forward to! Don't rock up outside XOYO tomorrow night expecting to see Scuba and some of his techno mates because you'll be SEVERELY disappointed.
I don't even know where Scuba is this weekend. If I had to guess where he is in order to create a bit of online content for this website, I'd say he's back home in Berlin, celebrating April Fools Day with some of his techno mates, everyone playing tricks on one another. LOLoutLOUD. I'm just picturing George Fitzgerald and Nicole Moudaber playing Piggy in the Middle, chucking Scuba's 3.5mm audio jack over his head to one another. All light-hearted, of course; Scuba'll get his audio jack back eventually - and he knows it.
If I were to take that thought one step further, I'd imagine Scuba kicking the underside of Kowton's mattress from his bottom bunk and whispering that he's just seen a mouse scurry across the bedroom floor. I'm now imagining the smirk on Scuba's face as Kowton hesitantly patrols the laminate floor on tiptoes, gripping a broomstick, before Scuba can't help himself anymore and breaks out into peals of uncontrollable laughter at the April Fool he's made of his techno mate.
It's these kinds of thoughts that prevent me slipping back inside of my own, dormant mental illness and very real depression.

Even the cloud needs spring cleaning. And the cleanup isn't the refactoring and data quality work that you already know about. Those "big animals" are hard to miss, and now we need to pay attention to the mites and dust-bunnies that we noticed only when they become overwhelming.
These new micro-debts appear quickly and continuously because cloud systems are easy to configure. Add a new field, edit a formula, modify a report, change a picklist value – each of these take just seconds. But the repercussions of those little changes can lead to big consequences. Aside from the fact there's no comprehensive way to inventory all the changes, the knock-on effects of new or changed items are hard to assess.
So undoing a change (either to retire something that's obsolete or to correct a new symptom) is way more work than making the change in the first place. Thanks to compound-interest effects, the collection starts to become as obnoxious as an ant-hill.

A Steal on Some Steel
1 Attachment(s)
So there's a new gun shop a little outside town and I went out this afternoon to see what they had. It was alot of the same stuff (plastic) you see in every gun store nowadays, but they had a great selection of new and used, unique revolvers at great prices. So I stole this one at $400 as soon as I saw it. :)
1 Attachment(s)
That is one Purty Ruger. Good Find waiting on the Range Report.
Should have one by week's end! :)
Damn. :o
Damn fine addition to the family I mean. :)
Really good looking revolver for $400. How does the barrel look?
Nice score! Those Redhawks are sweet.
.44 Magnum, a manly caliber and a stout revolver to send it on its way. :)
There is a slight amount of cutting on the top strap at the cylinder gap, but you wouldn't notice if you weren't looking.
And what was great also was that the older man who owns the place was a super nice guy and an avid revolver hunter/shooter. He gently guided me away from a S&W 629-1 after asking what the intended use was going to be (heavy/mountain).
Don't get me wrong I'm still trying to come up with a plan for that one. . . ;)
Great snag diggs!
Now go get 'er dirty!!!!!!
Damn nice find, and price Diggs on that Redhawk! :cool:
Nice find!
