This coming November will mark Doug Donalson's eleventh anniversary as a limousine builder. He began building limousines when Executive Coach-builders was founded in Springfield, MO, in 1976. In 1985, Donalson became a founding partner of Corporate Coachworks.
Over the years, Donalson has established an excellent reputation as a craftsman of high quality limousines, and as an innovator in limousine design. Donalson recently reflected on his career as a coach-builder with Limousine & Chauffeur.
Limousine & Chauffeur: How long have you been in the coach-building business, and how did you first get into it?
Doug Donalson: I started in November. 1976 with a man by the name of John Baumgarner who was the original owner of Executive Coach-builders He asked me, and a couple other individuals including Rick Bryant who owns DaBryan Coach now, to build some limousines. None of us had a great deal of background in limousines although I've been involved with a lot of fabrication in building airplanes. My Dad was an aircraft engineer and we built experimental aircraft as a hobby.
It didn't look very complicated to me to build a limousine and, in those days, limousines were very simple. There just wasn't much to them. There wasn't even an ice compartment in them at that point. Nor did they have dividers.
Limousine & Chauffeur: How did you meet John Baumgarner?
Donalson: John used to have some limousines repaired at a little body shop I worked at, and I had just barely been in town a month when I met him. He was in a wholesale limousine business at that point. He brought a couple limousines up out of Texas that were called Phaeton Coaches. They were the original stock of a company called Eagle-Allen. Eagle was Eagle Lincoln-Mercury, and Allen was Carlos Allen who now runs Allen Coachworks. They split off... one of them became Phaeton, and Carlos Allen moved to Mexico and started his company.
So we bought a couple of their limousines and, in all honesty, they were so terrible that we had to tear them apart. We told John, "Well, we can build one that's better than this." So he bought a couple cars and we started a small garage and built them. We only produced four or five the first year. We also had a very hard time getting rid of them.
Limousine & Chauffeur: In those days, did you have the awareness of craftsmanship that you have now... or was that something that developed?
Donalson: In those days, we were trying to equal the craftsmanship involved in the basic vehicle itself. But as far as the relationship to what it is at this stage now... it's nowhere close. We were in the learning stage.
There were only about three manufacturers in existence at that time. There was Phaeton, Moloney, and Carlos Allen. Armbruster at that time really wasn't into any limousine conversions that I am aware of.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Could you order a longer limousine from Moloney or Carlos Allen?
Donalson: No. None of them were over 36 inches. That was a long stretch in its day.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Did Executive come into existence in 1976?
Donalson: Yes.
Limousine & Chauffeur: And you moved into a larger production facility?
Donalson: Yes. We moved to a warehouse where we lasted about a year. Then we moved to a better facility where we stayed another year and a half. Then we moved again into a bigger facility.
Limousine & Chauffeur: What were your responsibilities in those early days?
Donalson: I initially started out in charge of construction of the vehicle but, within a year, I was running the shop. I just stayed in that position all the years I was there.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Do you remember your output in those early years?
Donalson: It took us three or four years to get to 12 limousines a month. And then, two years later, we were doubling our production each year.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Twelve a month was a tremendous number for that time, wasn't it?
Donalson: Yes it was because we might have had three or four of them sitting around trying to get rid of them. It was about 1980 before we got to that number.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Isn't that because there was really not a demand from the limousine industry at that point.
Donalson: No there wasn't. There were a lot of the old factory Cadillacs, the '73, '74, '75 and '76 models, in use at that point.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Could you compete with them in price or were you higher?
Donalson: The first ones we sold for $19,000. But back then the base units were only $9,000. Today they're $22,000.
Limousine & Chauffeur: So the conversion cost was $10,000 in those days?
Donalson: Yes. Now, the labor alone costs about that. It was considerably cheaper at that point.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Did you use the same basic materials and principles in building those cars that you use now?
Donalson: We sure did. The construction methods are the same but the detail has been improved and there's some new factors thrown into it. Basically, the first car ever built was constructed almost identically to the late cars. It was really a foolproof thing and it's never given us any trouble.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Is there a reason that you were building Lincolns?
Donalson: We were building some Lincolns and some Cadillacs. Basically, everybody preferred a Lincoln and, for some reason, that's all they wanted.
Most people who are doing Cadillacs don't like Lincolns… and vice versa. The Lincolns really had a good market even at that time. Everybody who wanted a Cadillac was still buying the factory limo. People would go out and buy that for $20,000 when they didn't want to spend $24,000 for a limo.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Did limousines have partitions in those early days?
Donalson: The first partitions came along in about '78 — and they started out as a glass sleeve that slid from side to side like the old Cadillacs. Then we went to a motor system that came out of a tailgate of a Ford station wagon.
Then in '78, I had a customer who wanted to enclose the car, and they only had clear windows at that time, so I went and made a dual divider. I took the same divider and dropped it from side to side and made it so it worked on both sides. At that time it was new and it was years later when it finally became a standard item on cars. It was really almost '85 when everybody pushed into those.
Limousine & Chauffeur: There was a period when there was a fear of going, much past 50 inches. Now it seems like we're fearless doesn't it?
Donalson: There were a lot of companies, at one time, who said it wouldn't work if cars got bigger than 50 inches. There is a limit... but I'm not quite sure what it is.
One thing, though, is that if someone stretches a car 120 inches, they had better improve the brakes and other details on the car to make it safe. We do a lot of upgrading on our braking, but the truth is that there is only so much you can do. There is a practical limit on a car's ability to stop.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Do you feel that there are dangerous limousines on the market?
Donalson: Yes. There are some that should not be on the road. I don't think that they are necessarily built that way purposely. I think that some people who've been building them for the last umpteen years just don't know what's right or wrong.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Can you tell me what's wrong with some of the cars?
Donalson: One thing is seatbelts. Some parts of the country already require seatbelts in the car for additional seating, and I think that should be a standard whether the customer uses it or not.
There needs to be good impact resistance built into the center portion of the car. Not a waffle-thing or a light-gauge beam, but a heavy gauge beam to strengthen the factory rear door.
The vehicle's frame construction needs to be considerably stronger so that if there is an impact, you're going to reduce the damage to your car, and the possibility of a disaster. Some of these features are tied into the cost of liability insurance. If standards were better, maybe the costs would come down. The other thing is that the wiring in a car needs to be brought up to the highest standards possible.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Would you like to see coachbuilders required to carry product liability insurance?
Donalson: Everybody needs product liability insurance even though I've never heard of anyone using it. If there were some standards involved, maybe it would bring the price down for everyone.
Limousine & Chauffeur: How do you judge who is a reputable coachbuilder?
Donalson: I think the only way you can answer that question is not by how long have they been in business or how big they, but by whether their vehicle is built to a reasonable standard. If there was a standard indicating that the frame was built safely, and the wiring was safe, and the braking was modified correctly... it would be nice.
Limousine & Chauffeur: What do you do to the brakes?
Donalson: We do a couple things. One... if your suspension is set up correctly, then your braking will work more efficiently and you won't have excessive wear. They won't chatter or bump. Your tire size also relates to the braking ability of a car. We also upgrade the pads in the front of the car. I use a pad made by Robusto which lasts considerably longer than a conventional pad, and they stop better than a semi-metallic pad.
Limousine & Chauffeur: What do you recall about the early 'Eighties as far as limousine development and your own contributions?
Donalson: In the early 'Eighties, I don't think everybody knew what was wanted in a limousine. There weren't too many options. Video was just coming into development at that time, and the units were huge. They were 16 inches wide and six or seven inches thick. We were just starting to put those in. Moon roofs and dual partitions had just about become standard.
I was starting to look for some variations... I was interested in other locations for the bar in order to get a little more seating. I didn't like the idea of being separated by the center bar so we came up with the side bar. The next step was the split bar.
The construction didn't change a lot on the car. There were some improvements in the methods involved. The sheet metal shapes have changed through the years, and the floorboard designs have changed, but the basic sheet construction really didn't change much until about '85.
In '85 when Corporate Coachworks was started, we began to tie the car together structurally. Up to this point, it was more like a car with a piece added to the center of it. Now the piece in the center became part of the car structurally. We welded it into the car.
We took the partition area of the car, which up until then had been a wood product, and turned it into a steel product which we tied to the car with quarter-inch steel straps. We put a roll bar effect into the roof to provide a little more strength in that area. We went to welding more things and put additional body mounts and cross-members in the car.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Had there been problems with cars not holding together?
Donalson: No, there'd never been problems about them holding together... but there are degrees of holding together. It's like the Mercedes that's got 100,000 miles on it and there's not a squeak or a rattle in it. That is the point we were trying to reach towards. A lot of vehicles are real good the first 30,000 miles, then they have a deterioration.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Are you still close to the manufacturing process?
Donalson: Yes, I work right at the plant.
What should the consumer look for in a limousine?
Limousine & Chauffeur: What should the consumer look for in a limousine?
Donalson: Well, if a car looks real good inside and out, then there's a good chance that the car is going to be a good vehicle. If you have enough pride to make sure that the paint is right, the interior is installed correctly, and the upholstery is right... chances are that pride is going to carry through.
Limousine & Chauffeur: How did the Wide Body limousine come about?
Donalson: It was something that I had in my head for years and when Corporate Coachworks was started, it was the first car we built. It was originally intended for private buyers, but a lot of them have been sold to livery services. Almost everybody who's bought our Wide Body for a livery service uses it as a part of their advertising.
We are only producing a limited number, even though it is very popular, because of the labor time it needs. It involves a tremendous amount of hand work, and takes four times as long to construct as our standard limousine.
Limousine & Chauffeur: Did you redesign your vehicles after leaving Executive?
Donalson: We completely redesigned about a third of the way the car is constructed. We redesigned the interior, and not one part of a Corporate Coachworks car resembles an Executive. We redesigned the overhead systems, the seating designs, the console systems, and the wiring system.
Limousine & Chauffeur: How would you describe your philosophy as a coachbuilder?
Donalson: We don't want to get into the boat where we are building four or five hundred cars a year and find that we are sacrificing quality. We want to continue building a quality car. We don't want increased production to hurt the quality of our products.
Time for innovation is also important. I want to maintain flexibility in our production program so that we can produce cars to meet customer's needs. We don't want to fall into the position of building all of our cars in the same colors… and with all of the same features.
We want to make our cars special for the individuals that own and drive them. That's what I have always found satisfying during eleven years as a coachbuilder.

The title of the book was possibly inspired by the famous Steve Jobs Stanford University speech. I would have like to see a little more creativity in the title, instead of an insipid verbatim copy of the speech's title. That doesn't reduce the content of the book to anything less than it is, but it is an observation.
So, what is the book about ? The book chronicles IIM-A graduates who did stay hungry and may be a tad foolish too. These are the graduates who decided to be entrepreneurs and persevered to make it big. They made a big impact not only to themselves, but also to the idea they were pursuing.
First things first – this is not the usual serious business story chronicle. This was the opinion shared by someone else I know who is an avid reader. The storytelling doesn't have the usual seriousness of books of this genre. I think this is a a good thing as this makes the book a light read but with a strong message in the content. A message that sticks !
The author of the book, Rashmi Bansal is an IIM-A graduate and an entrepreneur. She interviewed IIM-A graduates (graduates of the PGP program) who are in very successful positions as entrepreneurs. And that is where the kicker is ! It is not about IIM-A graduates who are earning crazy money as salaries, but those people who decided to try something on their own.
The book has 3 sections and in each section, the author tackles a different kind of an entrepreneur. The 3 sections are
- The believers – people who knew entrepreneurship was the 'Chosen Path'. They got into this straight after their MBA or may be after working for a couple of years. And they held on, till they made it big.
- The opportunists – these entrepreneurs did not plan to take this path but then opportunity knocked, they seized it. An insight into those people who seem to prove that you don't have to be a born entrepreneur.
- The Alternate vision – these are individuals who are using entrepreneurship to make a social impact
Each of the above has a lot of interesting stories. Stories of people who believed that they could succeed, sometimes failed, but still persevered.
My favourite stories are of Venkat Krishnan of GiveIndia, Vijay Mahajan of Basix and that of Sunil Handa of the Eklavya foundation. The first two are in the alternate vision category, having tried to use their skills from IIM-A to create a platform to further social impact and the last one is in the 'believers' section.
I would suggest this book. It beats the oft-treaded path of (mostly boring) entrepreneurship books. It doesn't tell you how to become an entrepreneur (nor can any book of course). By chronicling the stories of various entrepreneurs, Rashmi Bansal has enabled people to learn from their stories. It is no secret that an IIM-A graduate has a huge advantage because of the educational pedigree, but that doesn't mean that others don't have a chance to be successful entrepreneurs by learning from them. Also, the book is priced INR 125, which makes the book a steal. So, go grab a copy. It might cost you a lunch and a dinner, but you can stay hungry but definitely not foolish after you finish reading the book (ok, yes, that was a last minute cheesy line added for dramatics. Happy ? ).

The following was first published on The Huffington Post.
As 1.5 million people cheered, Pope John Paul II was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican on Sunday. The beatification, declaring Pope John Paul II as holy, is a major step toward his likely sainthood.
Popular VideoThis young teenage singer was shocked when Keith Urban invited her on stage at his concert. A few moments later, he made her wildest dreams come true.
His Holiness had great compassion for animals, and traveled to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, to speak on their behalf. He declared that animals "possess a soul and men must love and feel solidarity with our smaller brethren."
A wonderful way for Catholics to honor the life of Pope John Paul II is to live with respect for animals as he requested, remembering that they are, in the words of His Holiness, "as near to God as men are."

I have been researching for weeks and think I have decided on Turks and Caicos for our 5th anniversary getaway. I am now stuck on where to stay. It will be our first trip without our kids, so our biggest thing is relaxing. We would love to snorkel and just enjoy the island. We really have nothing set in stone that we have to have. I would just love to hear any recommendations on resorts, restaurants and any activities or places we should visit. We will be going the middle of June. Our budget is $3500.

Budget include air or just resort? (For a week? 7 nights). And food and excursions?
June majority of resorts have specials, free nights etc.
Majority of resorts won't have too many kids until around 20th when schools get out. Even then, it's not like other islands running with people, TCI wad made for relaxing. The only exception is Beaches Resort.
Go to wherewhenhow.com, click on maps. The properties from Sibonne through Gansevoort are walkable to off beach snorkeling. Going back, from Alexandra to Royal West Indies is walkable to shops and some restaurants. I always recommend a car anyway, cheaper than taxi, and you can explore other fantastic beaches.
Restaurants, so not miss: coco bistro, bay bistro.
Excursions:half day either Caicos Dream Tours or Island Vibes
Wherewhenhow also has properties,everything in there. Click on current magazine to explore.
Once you explain the budget, I'd be happy to make recommendations.
Fodor's in Focus: Turks and Caicos comes out beginning of December.
After the budget (as it can make a difference if just resort) still can't make up your mind, then
Turksandcaicosreservations.tc can help narrow down.
All properties on Grace Bay have something to offer, really not a bad place to stay!
Report Abuse
You will love Turks & Caicos...we spent our Honeymoon staying at The Regent Palms. Our next few trips were spent at The Somerset...both resorts are excellent and in a great location. I'd start there.
Report Abuse
Without knowing which part of your budget is for room, it's hard to recommend a certain resort! They are all lovely, just have different personalities.
For me, Regent Palms is upscale but for kids. There are other places that will have less kids running around if that's what you're looking for. Tey do have the nicest spa on the island, and rooms are gorgeous though.
I actually wrote the Fodor's book, And have viewed or stayed at majority of resorts. Tell us if you are foodies, don't mind renting a car, etc, and I would love to make suggestions for you.

Danny Cohen, the BBC director of television who commissioned shows including Last Tango In Halifax, Happy Valley and The Voice, is to leave the broadcaster to "pursue a new leadership challenge".
Cohen has spent eight years at the corporation and said he is considering "a number of exciting opportunities", believed to be both in the UK and US.
Cohen was head of Channel 4 Documentaries and head of E4 before joining the BBC in 2007, first as controller of BBC3 where he commissioned the likes of cult drama Being Human and acclaimed documentary series Our War.
He will leave the BBC at the end of November, with Mark Linsey, controller of entertainment commissioning, taking on his responsibilities until an appointment is made.
He said: "After eight wonderful years at the BBC, it is time for my next big challenge. BBC Television is on brilliant creative form. I feel very privileged to have led Television for the world's finest public service broadcaster and to have worked with so many smart and talented people.
"In the last few weeks I've been approached about a number of exciting opportunities and I want to consider these in an open and transparent way."
Tony Hall, Director-General, said: "Danny has done an extraordinary job over the last eight years at the BBC. In a world of intense competition and choice, he has further enhanced the BBC's reputation for quality programming that is full of ambition and creativity.
"Danny has led the incredible resurgence of drama on the BBC, having commissioned or overseen shows like Happy Valley, Poldark, Last Tango In Halifax, Wolf Hall, Top Of The Lake, Peaky Blinders, Doctor Who and the forthcoming Dickensian and War And Peace.
"He has also made an outstanding contribution to comedy and entertainment, with shows such as Cradle To Grave, Peter Kay's Car Share, Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders and The Graham Norton Show. He also led BBC One's 2012 London Olympics coverage. That is one hell of a CV."

"When you want selling to be fun and a service to others, use Openhanded Selling."
A Different Relationship to Selling
The goal of Openhanded Selling is to help you become truly consultative with your prospects…to help them clarify their needs, process their own concerns, and act on decisions that serve them.
|The master Openhanded salesperson is skilled at converting leads and fulfilling complex relationship sales, is self-confident and relaxed, and enjoys a steady, peaceful flow of business.Openhanded Selling is a form of consultative selling or soft selling. And if you're wondering exactly how to do "consultative selling" and how it's different from some other kind of selling, you're not alone.
The term "consultative selling" was originally coined by Mack Hanan in his 1970 book "Consultative Selling." Throughout the 70's and 80's, Linda Richardson is credited with spreading the gospel of consultative selling as it pertains to discovering the pain a prospect is experiencing and advising them of a profitable solution.
"Openhanded Selling means creating the conditions for your prospects to make decisions that meet their own needs. If your product or service is the obvious choice, a sale is made."
The term consultative selling has been co-opted by many salespeople over the years. We now have real estate consultants, MLM consultants, insurance consultants, financial advisers, and many other sales professions with the term "consultant" or its cousin "adviser" in the title. Entrepreneurs who don't like to feel or sound like a carnival ticket hawker grab hold of the term "consultative selling" and apply their own meanings to the concept:
Both of these interpretations miss a key point about consultative selling…that consulting means using your expertise to diagnose your prospect's needs, design a solution that works for them, then guide them in making a decision that's right for them. Your solution may not be the right one. Your consultation is intended to determine not only if they have a need, but what sort of solution would serve them best.
"Many salespeople are so tied up in making a persuasive presentation that they fail to ask the questions that make their presentation relevant."
How Consulting Works
Since we're talking about consultative selling, what can we learn from the field of consulting that helps us improve our sales results? As mentioned, too often the term "consulting" is interpreted as educating or telling our clients lots of stuff to try and convince them to work with us.
Briefly here are the basics about being a consultant: diagnosis, design, and recommendation.
Diagnosis: A consultant analyzes his client's situation to diagnose what's behind his problems. He doesn't simply ask his client what's wrong, because the issues are often hidden and complex. The consultant is an expert about knowing where to look for root causes and how to ask the right kinds of questions to surface them.
Design: The consultant is also an expert at working with his clients to develop solutions the client can integrate successfully into his idiosyncratic environment. In other words, the consultant knows that one solution does not fit all. He poses and explores ideas with his client to better understand the client's constraints. He helps his client see from different perspectives and adopt new strategies.
Recommendation: Finally the consultant is ready to make final recommendations. By this time, he's pretty sure what the client will accept or not, and how to position the recommendations to ensure they are implemented. He doesn't walk up to a client and say, "You need this," and expect the client to roll over. He makes his recommendations so that they are in exact alignment with what the client has already accepted during the consultation.
How is this like a sales consultant?
A good salesperson will diagnose, too. Like a consultant, she'll recognize that a person's need is not just driven by something, it's also held in place by something.
For example, do you have any needs that you aren't solving? Any weight issues? Any organizational, family, or financial issues? What do you think is holding those needs in place—keeping you from solving them, despite the fact that you know you need to do something?
A good sales consultant will not just identify needs, she'll identify what's stopping her prospects from solving their needs and she'll help them sort out the issues and come to a place where they can make a decision to move forward. If the issues are simple, prospects will make decisions quickly.
If the issues are complex or deeply rooted, the consultant will have to be more talented in her use of questions to elicit the thoughts that will move prospects toward a decision.
"Needs are not just driven by something…they are also held in place by something."
Hidden Background Issues Create Objections
The reason people raise objections is that either they don't see the value in what we're offering or they have a lot of background issues holding the issue in place. Or both.
If we're lucky, our prospect sees the value in what we're offering and there are no issues holding their need in place. Then the sale is easy.
But that is seldom the case. Even when a person sees tremendous value, there are often issues that prevent them from buying.
You can significantly reduce objections by helping your prospect process background issues.
Hands off…the Hourglass Metaphor
Imagine turning over an hourglass at the beginning of a sales conversation. The sand falls through a narrow aperture into the bottom of the hourglass at a slow and steady pace. You can't rush it, just as you can't rush a sale.
Consider the top of the hourglass to be your customer's thought-processing time where you help her clarify the issues and address the background noise that might be holding her needs in place. Consider the bottom of the hourglass to be your presentation area.
While the sand is in the top of the hourglass, be detached from the outcome, and don't push her into "admitting" she needs your product. She may know she needs it…but that won't help her make a decision to buy it.
When the sand reaches the bottom of the hourglass, she'll be ready to hear your presentation…not until then.
How do you know when the sand has dropped and it's time to present? You learn the signals that a person goes through when making a decision and you learn how to ask questions to lead them through the six stages of that decision process.
"Your goal is to create a vacuum for people to step into, rather than a pressure that pushes them away."

Rethink Leadership?
I have been thinking about what it means to be a leader for awhile and now am exploring and learning about it here at the Rethink Leadership Conference in Atlanta. I return tomorrow and I suspect you'll hear about it in passing in worship this Sunday.
5/1 Worship Theme- Finding Healing
Acts 3:1-16. There has been much hype over time about healing in the church. Some faith healers seem like nothing more than "snake-oil sellers." When we talk about healing, when we pray for healing, when we imagine what healing is, what do we mean? Do we mean something along the lines of a surgical intervention by God without the actual physical surgery? Do we mean for God to guide the hands of the helping professionals in the treatment and care of the person about whom we are praying? This Sunday we are going to talk a bit about healing and what we might mean when we say it as church and perhaps even how we might each find God's healing in our own lives.
Want to Lend Your Aid to James's Preaching?
James is thinking about putting together a small group of folks who would meet together twice monthly, probably on Monday evenings at Starbucks/Panera/SomePlaceElse, to think together about the Bible passages and topics that are coming up. We did this in the past and it was tremendously helpful.
Interested? Drop James an email!
4/24 Worship Theme- Playing at Church: Doing
Acts 2:42-47. As we question what it means to be "church" in today's world, currently without a building, we have been making some progress based on the writer of Acts. Today, that writer tells us what the early Jesus-followers did after waiting, getting empowered, and finding their story. Beginning with this model of early church, we ask ourselves what are we supposed to do? Are we supposed to be more like these early followers, doing the same things, or has time changed the world so much that we are supposed to do something different? That is what we'll ask on Sunday in worship.
4/17 Worship Theme- Playing at Church: Stories
Acts 2:13-41. This week Peter makes everything clear. Well, maybe not everything but he lets all who are listening know who Jesus is and why he matters. He brings together the significant stories from before Jesus and weaves them into a larger understanding of faith. Strangely, it makes sense to those who are listening and opens the door for new life. That is the cornerstone of what being church is: letting people know that their story matters to God because God already loves them. Who would have ever guessed someone as impetuous and imprudent as Peter would be able to do this? Jesus did when he called him. Jesus saw all that potential in Peter (the "Rock") and he sees all the potential in each of us. That is indeed good news!
Sunday that is what we'll be talking about in worship. You can read more about my thinking about this passage here.
4/10 Worship Theme- Playing at Church? Empowered
Acts 2:1-12. Rushing wind and tongues of fire! Sound like pandemonium to anyone? That is what we have called Pentecost, the birthday for the church when the Holy Spirit brought the disciples/apostles together and gave them the courage and gifts they needed to share the love of God and the way of Jesus with everyone. Where does that leave us today? What does this mean for Saint James and our work in the world.
Memorial Service for Paul Eugene "Gene" Byron on April 9 @ 11AM
As most of you know, Paul Eugene "Gene" Byron died last week. If you need a little help remembering Gene, he was the gentleman who was so impeccably dressed every Sunday, a top hat, suit, and trench coat. We will be celebrating Gene's life at a memorial service to be held at 11:00AM on Saturday, April 9, in the penthouse of The Hermitage in Northern Virginia. We normally worship in the auditorium on the bottom floor but for the memorial service, come through the front door (on the other side of the building from where we worship) and the folks at the front desk will direct you.

Randy, can't go wrong here ... Hey!ReplyDelete
I don't see why liberals are so against WalMart---they should love this. On a side note. Was working out of the cooperate head quarters in Bentonville, AR and travels around the country helping open new distribution centers and spent a year in Porterville when that center opened. Rural CA is much like rural MS. Was surprised the folks in the valley thought like me. Never heard so much country music from the radio stations there.ReplyDelete
I'm a republican and I am against WalMart. Here you have to speak Spanish (Central California) as the illegal aliens have taken over this area completely. I don't know what's worse. Just saying.ReplyDelete
I've not been in a WalMart in years. Don't plan on ever going either. Weirdos galore, but living in a libtard state anything goes.
Have a terrific day. :)
Ron, semi here too. We're rural, with a very large Bay Area influence I'm afraid. But we have 4 Walmarts down the hill in Reno.ReplyDelete

I like Wal-Mart for the low prices. I think even Bozo the clown dressed better than that - polka dots and stripes? Oh my...ReplyDelete
Not only is that guy wearing a bra, he's wearing matching pink socks.ReplyDelete
How come my Walmart isn't this exciting? This'd be worth signing up as a greeter! But then I'd probably get fired for my welcoming comments...ReplyDelete

Velcro, carry a mirror and a fire extinguisher and you'll do great.ReplyDelete
My oldest daughter manages a Walmart in Duboise, PA so I am somewhat biased on the corporate level. As for the clientelle...I cannot deny that the brain-dead tend to gather there in droves.ReplyDelete
I see that their quality and selection of "Aislewalkers" (pic 3) has fallen off considerably however.

Mumbai: Glass bottles maker Piramal Glass Ltd has decided to close a significant portion of the struggling US facility that it had acquired in a debt-laden deal in 2005.
Paring debt: Piramal Glass managing director Vijay Shah. Abhijit Bhatlekar / Mint
It will shift its US operations, except speciality food and beverage bottles production, to India by next March as part of a restructuring, managing director Vijay Shah said in an interview on Tuesday. It will also lay off around one-third of its 540 US employees.
The company, which makes glass packaging for pharma, perfume and speciality food and beverage sectors, retreated from the brink of a bankruptcy caused by huge debt and its bleeding US unit.
"We have created huge additional capacities in our manufacturing locations in India, and shifting the manufacturing from the US facility to these locations will directly result in saving cost by more than 50%," Shah said. "By doing this, we hope the US subsidiary will also break even by the end of this year."
Piramal Glass, a group company of the Ajay Piramal-led drugs and healthcare to financial services conglomerate, is among the world's top five glass bottle makers by sales in the pharma segment, and the third largest manufacturer of cosmetics bottles by capacity.
As of March 2009, it had a costly debt of Rs1,357 crore, mainly in rupees, for additional investments in the US entity and to increase capacity in India, while its net worth was Rs260 crore.
Piramal Glass acquired US-based Glass Group Inc. in 2005 to get access to the world's largest perfume market as well as to the latest technologies.
"The US acquisition was in a hurry and we didn't have enough time to look at many of the critical aspects pertaining to the operations of the company," said Shah.
In addition to the initial acquisition cost of about $18 million (about Rs90 crore then), Piramal Glass invested around Rs300 crore in the US firm over the years. For setting up additional capacity in India, it spent another Rs450 crore.
The cost of debt for these investments and adverse market conditions, including foreign exchange losses, resulted in a net loss of Rs23 crore in 2007-08 and Rs103 crore the next fiscal. It returned to profit in the second quarter of 2009-10, led by a turnaround in its US unit. It made a quarterly profit of around Rs2 crore.
"The investments that we have made in the last 3-4 years are now fructifying... All our manufacturing assets have been approved after stringent audit norms by top perfumery manufacturers like Procter and Gamble, LVMH, Yves Rocher, Coty, among others, in the last couple of years," said Shah.
Piramal Glass' vice-president, strategic planning and investor relations, Chunduru Srinivas, said the company now expects to make a consolidated profit in 2009-10.
Kamna Jain, a sector analyst with SKP Securities Ltd, said in a March report that while Piramal Glass was poised to recuperate, any change in the business mix as well as growing competition and threats such as new substitutions to glass packaging could hurt its profitability.
A rights issue last year to raise about Rs188 crore helped the firm pare part of its debt, now standing at Rs1,030 crore.

3 of the Most Underrated Apps
There are good apps. And there are great applications. Then there's crappy apps. And then there's apps that are especially great but do not receive the following they should have. The app business is one of the emerging business markets at the turn of the century - and it is posed to be one of the most viable, too.
With the onslaught of smartphones crowding the market today, 1 in every 3 persons now have smartphones. Surprisingly, in first world countries, almost 95% of the population owns a smartphone. Mobile computing is the future, and mass-produced pc items are what most big tech companies are looking into, plus how to make your own app franchises.
With billion of apps literally at your fingertips, you have a plethora of choices what to have and what not to download on your devices. You may not have heard of the apps listed below - and not without the good reason - it's because they are so underrated they've become Broadway stars to this generation's pop stars. But make no mistake; they are as flawless, if not more, than those apps that are garnering mainstream fame.
IFTTT is a curious app. It is one of those apps which looks like a very complicated app at first, but when you start using it, it's one of the most streamlined apps in the iOS market today. What IFTTT does is create a task from your apps and connect them via your command. You add "recipes†according to what is helpful to you, and by curating, the app provides you timely information from your stack of apps.
Kis is a messenger. And a blazingly quick one at that. It is the brainchild of the original BBM programmers, and have been downloaded at least 5 Million times since it was launched to the App store. It is available for iOS, Android and other mobile platforms. It trumps any messaging app in the any platform and the app design is very minimalist.
Prey is an anti-theft app that beats the baked Find iPhone app in Apple devices. It's probably the most effective anti-burglary app there is, and it leads to a class of its own. You have to sign up before using the app (it originally was intended for laptops) and when you are connected, it alerts your other devices of the location of the stolen device through making the phone connect to the nearest WiFi hotspot. Planning to create a graphic-intensive app? Searching for a software that can assist you? Stop searching! App Dev Secrets is here. With this program, you'll spend less time analyzing how it is done and begin with the actual designing. Interested? Visit this page. http://makeyourownappwithanthony.com/.

The Very Best Advice For Forex Trading
If you're having problems paying your bills you know that finding a way to make some extra money is a huge help. Countless people around the country are looking for financial relief in this day and age. If you are one of the worriers, then consider using foreign exchange as a secondary source of income.

It may be tempting to allow complete automation of the trading process once you find some measure of success with the software. This strategy can cause you to lose a lot of your capital.
When it comes down to placing stop losses correctly in Foreign Exchange, this can be more of an art than a science. It's important to balance facts and technical details with your own feeling inside to be a successful trader. What this means is that you must be skilled and patient when using stop loss.
Select a trading account with preferences that suit your trading level and amount of knowledge. Acknowledge you have limitations and be realistic. Practice, over the long haul, is the only way you are going to become successful at trading. Most traders agree that, especially for beginners, it is advisable to stick with an account that has a lower leverage. Setting up a smaller practice account can serve as a light-risk beginning. start small and learn the basics of trading.
When beginning with Forex, you may have the urge to invest in various currencies. You should stick with one currency pair while you are learning the basics of trading. Expand slowly to avoid losing a vast amount of money.
It's common for new traders in the foreign exchange market to be very gung-ho about trading. People often discover that the levels of intensity and stress will wear them out after a couple of hours. Step away for a little while when you start to feel yourself wavering. The money will still be ready to trade when you return.
The best strategy in Forex is to get out when you are losing and stay in while you are gaining a profit. Having an exit strategy can help you avoid impulsive decisions.
Do not trade against the market until you have a good understanding of forex. When you are starting out you should never attempt against the market trading. This can be very devastating.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign Exchange traders need to persevere in the face of adversity. There are ebbs and flows with everything for everyone. Profiting from foreign exchange trading depends on your ability to overcome the losing streaks. No matter how bad things start to look, you need to keep going and eventually things will work out.
Don't diversify your portfolio too quickly when you are first starting out. Be sure to remain with major currencies. Do not confuse yourself by trading in too many markets at once. This type of activity can lead to careless and reckless behaviors. These are horrible for investing.
A relative strength index can help you gauge the health of different markets. While this may not be a precise indicator of the quality of your investment, it may offer valuable insight into opportunities presented by different markets. You may want to try the market that is not normally profitable, thinking that you will be the lucky one. This is a bad idea.
When you first start Forex trading, utilize a mini account. Using this is excellent practice for trading while limiting the amount of losses you will suffer. It won't be as fun as a larger account, but studying trades for a year can make a huge difference.
You can find Forex news just about anywhere, at anytime. Twitter, news channels, and other internet services can give you information. You will find this information everywhere you turn. The reason for this is that when large sums of money are moving, no one in the world wants to be kept in the dark.
Maturity as a trader is built gradually. You need to have patience so that you don't lose the equity in your account in a matter of hours.
Some traders do so well, that forex trading completely replaces their day job. Whether or not you can be prosperous at trading depends on how much time and effort you put into it. In order to be successful, you have to first understand how trading works.

You might be thinking, "You're kidding, right?" Unfortunately we're not. We have even heard licensed professionals give this advice. Nothing could be further from the truth. Regular maintenance can add years to your tank's life. We strongly suggest flushing your tank once a year to remove sediment that will ultimately cause corrosion and tank leaks. We also encourage checking your anode rod every year once it hits the 3 year mark. An anode rod attracts the minerals that turn to sediment. If your anode rod is worn out, sediment will build up more quickly.
My Kid is Showering Too Long Leaving Me With No Hot Water.
If your tank is less than 8 years old and you aren't getting enough hot water, it is probably a sign that something else is going on. You may need your dip tube replaced because it has broken, something may be wrong with the thermostat, an element could be burnt out, or– horror of horrors– your tank may be dead and you need to call the experts at Water Heater Rescue for immediate replacement! We recommend to never just assume that someone is using too much water in the shower, because no hot water or very little hot water may be a symptom of a much bigger problem.
Gas Permits are Not Required When Replacing a Gas Powered Tank.
We certainly can't speak to other areas in Canada, but in the Metro Vancouver Region, gas permits are INDEED required for all gas water heater replacements. Any professional, licensed plumber will not install a tank without proper paperwork and documentation.
Tankless Delivers Hot Water Faster.
Although once heated, your supply of hot water is endless, tankless units actually have a longer lag time for the water to heat up. However, unlike a storage tank, once the hot water begins to come out of your faucet with a tankless water heater, you will never run out.
Water Heaters Can Explode.
We've probably all heard someone's story about their water heater exploding… 15 years ago or more. There are so many safeguards in place with water heaters these days that it would require simultaneous failures of an epic proportion. It's so unlikely to happen that dogs driving Uber is more likely to happen first!
If you have any more questions about your water heater, or would like to test a myth that we haven't listed here, please give the experts at Water Heater Rescue a call!

While he was growing he thought he was a bunny because his mother called him that. So that's why he is standing like a bunny. His wife was Princess Malk, who is currently a ghost.

Whether it's egg tarts from a local bakery or fresh takes on seafood at a high-end restaurant, Macau's vibrant colonial past has provided the region with a cultural gourmet tasting tour
Fernando restaurant
One of Asia's most extraordinary and unique destinations squeezes into barely 30 square kilometres of the Pearl River Delta in southern China. At every level, Macau is a beguiling and bewitching city of contrasts. The city's neon and bling casinos are an extraordinary success story, producing almost five times the gaming venue collected by The Strip in Sin City itself, Vegas. But on the other hand, its remarkable 17th-century churches, mansions and other architectural gems are reminders that Macau was part of Portugal until only 16 years ago.
It's no surprise, then, that Portuguese culture – and cuisine – still looms large across the city, with countless restaurants serving up classic dishes and ingredients. Starting in the southern tip of Macau, around Coloane, you'll find Fernando, a humble beachside spot that has become one of the city's most loved Portuguese dining options – especially so for international visitors and expats from across the water in Hong Kong.
Egg tarts from Lord Stow's Bakery
The secret to Fernando's success is pretty simple: warm homemade bread, tomato and onion salads, fabulous garlic prawns, crispy suckling pig and much more, all served on red and white checked tablecloths in a family-run setting. They don't take advance reservations, so put your name on the list and kick back in the garden with piquant chorizo, stuffed olives and cold Super Bock beers or sangria while you wait.
Although lunch there is satisfying, there's always room for dessert. So head down the road to one of the most famous homes of Portuguese egg tarts, Lord Stow's Bakery. And even if there are busloads of tourist nearby, the queues go down quickly and the flakiest butter pastry cups and just-set egg fillings are worth any wait. Strong Portuguese milky coffee helps avoid any post-lunch slump.
A dim sum starter at Vida Rica Restaurant
Among Macau's other standout Portuguese dining options are A Lorcha and the Riquexó café, along with Vida Rica Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Macau. Indisputably one of the city's finest establishments, Vida Rica is open all day and serves classic cuisine with clever twists. The Portuguese are rightly famous for their ways with seafood and the 'Seafood Tower for two' at Vida Rica is a breathtaking sight (almost rivalling the views of the South China Sea seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows). It features Canadian lobster, spider crab, seared diver scallops, fried langoustine, octopus, white clams, deep-sea red prawns, razor clams, oysters, mackerel and salmon sashimi.
The chef's table at Vida Rica
Arguably, Portugal's most famous seafood is bacalhau, or salted cod. Vida Rica presents a unique take on this dish by home curing it and serving it as a carpaccio with a vibrant sour beetroot compôte, lemon olive oil, baby onions and coriander. If stews are more your style, then the restaurant's traditional cataplana offers more maritime delights in this aromatic crustacean broth scented with Portuguese white wine.
With flawless service and some of the territory's finest Portuguese wines in elegant surroundings, there are few better places in which to 'taste' the meeting of cultures and the city's rich history.
With a plethora of UNESCO World Heritage buildings packed into a compact, historic centre, the old part of Macau makes for an ench...

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been touring the United States making an effort to win over minority voters after spending the last year alienating the same individuals. Trump's efforts have been lauded in the media as both transparent and tone deaf. His recent comments about an NBA superstar's family tragedy has done the faux-billionaire no favors in attempting to reach minorities.
NBA superstar Dwayne Wade's cousin Nykea Aldridge was murdered as she walked her young child around in a stroller in Chicago. Police believe the circumstances surrounding Aldrige's death are she was struck with bullets from a gang-related skirmish and that she was not a primary target.
Trump, staying true to disgusting form, used the death of Aldridge to attempt to score cheap political points and vindicate his attempts to lure minority voters to support him. Trump tweeted:
Dwyane Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 27, 2016
A variety of high profile individuals have shared their contempt for Trump attempting to benefit from the tragic murder of Aldridge. The CEO and Founder of Gum Road, Sahil Lavingia, pointed out Trump's hypocrisy. He tweeted:
@realDonaldTrump Didn't you say Clinton shouldn't use deaths of Blacks for her political gain?
— Sahil Lavingia (@shl) August 27, 2016
Award winning journalist Lauren Duca joined in on railing against Trump, who deleted his Tweet for spelling errors, but quickly replaced it:
.@realDonaldTrump So we're clear: You took the time to delete this because of the misspelling, but didn't reconsider ANY OF THE OTHER PARTS?
— Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) August 27, 2016
Dwyane Wade also tweeted out about the incident, but did not mention Trump:
The city of Chicago is hurting. We need more help& more hands on deck. Not for me and my family but for the future of our world. The YOUTH!
— DWade (@DwyaneWade) August 27, 2016
Trump's tone deafness is now apparent for all individuals to observe. He has attempted to use the death of an innocent woman to justify his hateful campaign rhetoric, and those attempts are falling flat.

HOCKEY; How Are Talks Going? Shhh! It's All a Secret
By JOE LAPOINTE
Published: December 16, 1994
The secret subcommittees in the hockey dispute finished two days of clandestine talks yesterday and plan to take today off. They are tentatively scheduled to resume negotiations tomorrow, again probably without Gary Bettman or Bob Goodenow in the room.
"Real cloak-and-dagger stuff," said a union person, whispering on condition of anonymity. "But it's a positive sign they are still talking."
The delegations were in contact with Bettman, commissioner of the National Hockey League, and Goodenow, executive director of the N.H.L. Players Association. The negotiations were part of an attempt to end the lockout that is now 11 weeks old and threatens to eliminate the entire season.
No one on either side was willing to reveal the site of the talks or names of the participants. It is believed that the N.H.L. delegation includes Jeff Pash, senior vice president and legal counsel, and Cliff Fletcher, president of the Toronto Maple Leafs; and that the union side includes John McCambridge and Bob Riley, two lawyers.
Others may join the discussions tomorrow. If there is no new collective bargaining agreement in time to play a 50-game schedule and the playoffs before July 1, Bettman has permission from the league's 26 team owners to cancel the season.
Although no "drop-dead date" has been set, it is logical to extrapolate from the mandate of the Board of Governors on Monday that an agreement is needed within two weeks.
Some of the best-informed executives and agents in the business were not briefed about the talks, which suggested an air of sensitivity and gravity to the issues being discussed.
"It's obvious they want as little scrutiny as possible," said Don Baizley, a Winnipeg-based agent. "And I think that is healthy."
Serge Savard, the Montreal general manager, said, "I really don't know what is going on."
Don Meehan, a Toronto-based agent, warned: "The consequences of a canceled season would be catastrophic for both sides. We have to have a season."
Formal negotiations broke off Dec. 6 in Chicago after Bettman re-introduced a demand for a penalty tax on teams with high payrolls. The union said the tax was a salary cap in disguise and was a deal-breaker.
Should the season be canceled, the union has vowed to organize a major tournament. While Wayne Gretzky and his all-star team were touring Europe for the last two weeks, there was much discussion among those players about forming their own league, perhaps playing as soon as this winter. Among those talking up the concept was Mark Messier, the captain of the Rangers. The touring team returned to North America yesterday.
Several player agents also have discussed forming a league for next season. Among them is Rich Winter, an Edmonton-based agent who said this winter was too soon.
"Mark Messier's musings are not realistic," said Winter, who predicted that the two sides in the dispute would "show their true colors at the eleventh hour" and come to an agreement.
"It's like a game of chicken in which two people are driving new, bright, red Ferraris at each other at full speed," Winter said.
Although the tax issue remains the biggest obstacle to settlement, the two sides have yet to fully agree on other disputed matters, including a rookie salary cap, changes in arbitration procedures and a new free-agency formula that takes rights away from younger players and increases them for older players.
While tours and tournaments are being discussed and while some players remain employed in Europe, another option that may open soon is the International Hockey League, a high minor league in many major cities in the United States.
The I.H.L.'s two-week ban against player signings might be lifted today. Although only two N.H.L. players have been signed so far by the I.H.L., more could find work, especially if the N.H.L. cancels its season. Steve Patterson, president of the Houston team, said his team could sign as many as three more.
"We have room," said Patterson, who currently employs Kevin Dineen of the Philadelphia Flyers. "There are hundreds of guys who want to play."
He said agents call his team daily to offer N.H.L. players.
