Are you acceptable?
We all want acceptance!
I was feeling rather nostalgic, the other day and I thought back to one of the jobs I had before I started my own business. It wasn't my last job, it was the second to the last job. Ugh, I hated that job and I hated my boss.
I worked in a K-Mart back when K-Mart was the big place in discount shopping. We didn't know what a WalMart was. Apparently, neither did corporate.
I think I've told this story before, but it's been a while so why not tell it again?
My boss was a guy named Ron Montgomery. He was a weaselly, ferret faced guy. He was the store's manager. He didn't like me and I didn't like him. I showed up every day and did my job, well. When it came time for a raise review, I was called up to his office. I got a raise the first time, but the second time he said, "I'm not going to give you a raise, because you don't smile enough." I said, "What?" He said, "Smile more and I'll see you in 6 months."
It was 6 months later and I was up for a raise. The same deal. I was called to his office. He said, "I'm not giving you a raise this time either because now you smile too much." He was lucky that he had an assistant manager with him, in the room. I thought I'd jump over his desk. That would've been ugly!
Looking back on it, missing those raises got me to leave that job and 18 months later I started my own business.
I want to know why I wasn't acceptable to Ron Montgomery?
I showed up for work every day that I was scheduled. I worked overtime when he asked me to. I even said yes to working at 5:00 AM in the morning during the Christmas season. There were about 10 of us who were asked to start at 5:00 AM and work until 1:00 PM. That was 6 weeks of misery. I even said yes when they asked my to work overnight, in the store, to scrape wax off of the floor around the counters. I worked from 11 PM to 7:00 AM crawling around on my hands and knees scraping wax, for a week.
They treated me like crap and never gave me a raise, because they said I didn't smile enough. Well, no wonder I didn't smile!
What I want to know is this, are we treating our downlines like that? Are we treating them with a lack of respect? Are we accepting them for who they are? They are human beings.
We're taught to only work with people who are working their businesses. The rest of them are shunned. They "don't qualify for our time." I understand that the people who aren't producing might never do much with their business, but there are some of them that are just looking for a bit of encouragement and a direction to go in.
I was one of those distributors, who didn't do much with my business, until my sponsor gave me a little encouragement. He gave me a direction to go in and I responded by reaching the top level of the company in less than a year.
How many people, like me, do you have on your team, right now? How would you know?
I know you're worried about wasting your time, but you can help people without taking all of your time. Give them assignments and make sure that they complete them, correctly, before you move forward with them.
You can accept your distributors where they are. You can teach them and encourage them to be better than they are now. You an help them, with a minimum of time and see what happens. You never know when you have a diamond in the rough.
Your downline may not deserve your time, but they definitely deserve your respect and your acceptance!
To Ron Montgomery, thank you for being a jerk! If you had given me those raises, no telling where I'd be now … Maybe I'd still be working at a K-Mart. Ugh! That thought makes my skin crawl.
Please share this article with your downline! It might help them!

Former Seabreeze golfer shoots 62 in defense of his 2011 Riviera Open victory.
ORMOND BEACH -- Defending champion J.C. Horne shot a 9-under-par 62 to take the first-round lead at the Riviera Open. Horne, the former Seabreeze High golfer playing on the course where he learned the game, enters today's final round with a two-shot lead on Scott Berliner and former Bethune-Cookman standout Willie Mack III.
A group of nine golfers are another shot back after shooting 65 Saturday at Riviera Country Club. Among them: Ormond Beach's Major Manning, Palm Coasts' Ty Capps and another product of Riviera, PGA Tour pro Matt Every, the former Mainland Buc and Florida Gator who now lives in Jacksonville Beach.
Fulton Allem, a three-time PGA Tour winner in the 1990s, highlights a large group at 5-under 66.
Today's tee times range from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Horne's leading foursome tees off at 11:10 a.m., preceded by those closest on the leaderboard.
The Riviera Open, first played in 1960, is the fourth stop on the 2012-2013 Florida Professional Golf Tour.

I cannot thank you and your team enough.
I've been to more conferences than I can remember in my 28 yr. career. But I can count with less than one hand those that gave me such an
intellectual satisfaction and shock as this one, and I am not a new comer to the Complexity field either.
I really look forward to the next one. This is such an important, emerging field. There are so many subjects across a vast array of
seemingly unrelated fields that can be united by basic principles in Complexity.
Thank you again.

Facebook Helps Reunite Man With Stolen Car
Here is another way that social media can be used for more than just a time killer and showing everybody what you are eating for dinner.
Here is another way that social media can be used for more than just a time killer and showing everybody what you are eating for dinner.
Not many people know how easy it actually is to get scammed on Facebook. It happens every day, possibly to you.
Have you tried to send a message to someone that you are not friends with yet? Apparently there was an update to Facebook and now, if you want to send a personal message to someone that is not on your Friend list, you will be charged!
Have you seen this on a lot of your Facebook page, maybe even a friend's profile pics lately?I thought I knew what it meant but decided to Google it anyway just to make sure. Here is what I found:
I first started using instagram as an app just to make my crappy phone pics look better, but never really understood the lingo, or how it works... good thing I have a teenage daughter for IT work.
Dustin Ford of Longview Texas recently had a discussion with a friend on Facebook regarding President Obama, and the next day his account had been frozen.
You have probably seen the Graph Search option on your Facebook homepage. It is a new option that is being tested that will allow you to do searches for many different things. You will be able to search for people with similar hobbies and likes, or find restaurants that your friends liked. There are many search avenues available with this new option.
Maybe you have noticed fewer posts by your favorite Facebook pages lately, it's because of more of those changes they keep making... I know how to fix it now!
For all of those people who have wanted to change a comment on Facebook but couldn't: You can know edit your comments on Facebook! Hip hip, hooray!
Misty Roberson, like many of us do, uses Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family, and that's what she was doing when she posted about her sick child.
As you go through your extensive list of 'friends' on Facebook, make sure when you clear some of those folks out there may be some repercussions.

Ive always been in awe of Kate Mara. The sibling of Rooney Mara has an unforgettable face and can always steal scenes from her fellow actors in movies such as 127 Hours and Transsiberian. In Transcendence, Mara is Bree, an anti-technology extremist who will do anything to stop transcendence.
In this interview, we talked about her interest in making the movie, her character, and is she guilty of relying too much on technology?

Wally Pfister has worked with the great Christopher Nolan as his director of photography in movies like The Prestige, The Dark Knight Rises, Memento, and much more -- pretty much in all of Nolan movies. But now, the Oscar-winning cinematographer from Inception is branching out and making his debut as a director in Transcendence starring Johnny Depp.
The film explores the possibility of sentient computers, able to perceive and feel. In this interview, we talked about his interest in making the movie, research, and his talented cast.

Rio 2 flies into theaters near you but is the sequel better than the first? All your favorite characters return for the second one including original director, Carlos Saldanha. The film is music-tinged no wonder many musicians flock to join the sequel including Janelle Monae and Bruno Mars. Before you head out to the theaters, take a look at my review.
Official Plot:
It's a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids in RIO 2, after they're hurtled from that magical city to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all - his father-in-law. All our favorite RIO characters are back, and they're joined by Oscar (R) nominee Andy Garcia, Grammy (R) winner Bruno Mars, Tony (R) winner Kristin Chenoweth and Oscar/Emmy (R)/Tony winner Rita Moreno.

If youre a fan of the fantastic The Raid franchise (the film just received the Critics Choice Seal of Approval), you may want to watch this interview. Gareth Evans, the writer/director behind the franchise, talks about the probability of making The Raid 3 and the possible plotline. He also talks about his interest behind making part 2, how the whole franchise came about, what creating documentaries have taught him in making feature films, and the eye-popping action scenes of the series.
I interviewed him via satellite (he was in Cardiff, Wales, I was in Palm Springs, California), so there are some waiting glitches. So I cut them off and spliced them with a white flash so you dont have to wait!
The Raid 2 is now showing in theaters.
The Raid 2 Official Plot:
He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen - a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls - rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn't have been more wrong. Formidable though they may have been, Rama's opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap. And so Rama begins a new odyssey of violence, a journey that will force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender "Yuda." In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco - the son of a prominent gang kingpin - to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end.(c) Sony Classics

Chris Evans returns to the role of Steve Rogers aka Captain America in the sequel The Winter Soldier. Joining him in the film is Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes), and Robert Redford (Alexander Pierce).
But is the sequel worth your time and money? Take a look at my movie review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the enormous movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. It comes from the Norman personal name Raimund. This name is composed of the elements ragin, meaning counsel, and mund, meaning protection.
Ramont Early Origins
Devon where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Ramont Spelling Variations
Ramont Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Raymond, Rayment, Raymonds, Raymon and others.

Some of the Ramont family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 39 words (3 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Ramont or a variant listed above were: John and William Raymond, who settled in Salem in 1630; Arthur Raymond, who settled in Virginia in 1635; William Raymond, who settled in New Hampshire in 1631.

Looking for a heavy duty dog crate? One of the common reasons for people to look for the Alcatraz of dog crates is to help dogs with anxiety problems. Heavy duty indestructible dog crates are designed in such a way that the pet cannot escape and harm themselves or damage property when you are not around. This can be a good investment if your dog is so strong and aggressive that he/she can claw or chew on standard crates until escape. Most people with large, strong, or aggressive dogs would love a heavy duty dog crate that is strong, yet light enough to carry around. You need to conduct ample research in order to find one that meets your preferences and fits your budget.
One of the common reasons for people to look for the Alcatraz of dog crates is to help dogs with anxiety problems. Heavy duty indestructible dog crates are designed in such a way that the pet cannot escape and harm themselves or damage property when you are not around. This can be a good investment if your dog is so strong and aggressive that he/she can claw or chew on standard crates until escape. Most people with large, strong, or aggressive dogs would love a heavy duty dog crate that is strong, yet light enough to carry around. You need to conduct ample research in order to find one that meets your preferences and fits your budget.
What to look at when choosing heavy duty crate?
- Visibility
Depending on the material, design and brand, a heavy duty dog crate may allow full visibility or completely block out the world beyond the crate walls. Some dogs are comfortable in crates with full visibility while others cannot tolerate them as they love their privacy. You must understand your furry friend's personality so that you can select the right 'den' that will not make him/her anxious. In light of this we will feature crates with both high and low visibility to help owners choose one that suits their pet's personality.
- Sturdiness
The biggest problem with heavy duty crates is that they easily come apart at the joints despite being made from strong materials. This is usually a result of poor welding to join the edges and you must therefore study different welding methods and read what people have to say about your preferred brand's strength before making a purchase. Reviews and the comments sections of websites are great sources of honest opinions about different heavy duty crates.
- Ease of cleaning
Big dogs soil their crates faster than small ones and for sure cleanup can be quite tricky for most owners. If you do not want to scrub long and hard to provide clean living space to your Great Dane, choose rust protected or materials like heavy duty galvanized metal which can easily be wiped clean in a matter of minutes.
- Warranty
Choose a crate whose manufacturer readily provides warranty to cushion you from incurring unnecessary expenses. With a proper cover you can be sure that you will get compensation for any damage caused by the dealers' or manufacturers' side. A warranty is an assurance that the product is strong enough to last a long time despite the dog's aggressive nature.
- Mobility
Do not limit the use of a heavy duty crate to a 'stay-at-home' kennel since you can actually choose one that facilitates mobility. With similar price range, you can actually choose one that also serves as a travel crate. There are brands which are made lightweight enough to make them easy to carry during family vacations. If you would like your powerful canine friend to accompany you on a flight, you can also look for a heavy duty crate that is IATA compliant. Even if you only need to use the heavy duty crate at home it doesn't hurt to get one with wheels for easier movement around the house.

Posted on 10/19/2001 9:15:55 AM PDT by Starmaker
Mob rule is truly an ugly thing and is certainly an obstacle to scholarly endeavors. How many times has history witnessed the repression of those who pursue enlightenment? Why must the judicious among us be forced to grovel under the threat of persecution from torch-bearing, callow hordes? For whatever irrational reasons and however unfair the practice, once again the drive for an accurate understanding and full application of the Constitution of the United States has been thwarted. Or so the School Board of Madison, Wisconsin and its ideological allies surely think.
After days in the national media spotlight, 20,000 critical phone calls, a couple of contentious board meetings and a few recall threats thrown in for good measure, Madison´s school board had been compelled to abandon its solution to a recent state budget provision. This provision requires all public schools to provide students the opportunity for a daily show of patriotism. But in order to make such a practice more palatable to the few teachers and parents who object to such archaic displays, and to remain in keeping with dogmatic, politically correct "thought", the least offensive option was chosen. In lieu of the Pledge of Allegiance, by a vote of 3-2 the board approved the playing of the national anthem, minus the words. The words, you see, were considered by some parents to be "too militaristic". Oh, the horror!
The objection to, and the de facto ban on, the recital of the Pledge were based on the same time tested arguments that thoroughly misrepresented the First Amendment to the Constitution. The contention is that the inclusion of the words "under God" in this little verse is a violation of the constitutionally mandated "separation of church and state". Unfortunately there is no provision or statement within the constitution that specifically mentions such a separation. But then again, the perversion of the words within this document and the distortion of the meanings behind them are commonplace.
If the subject matter weren´t so serious and the consequences not so dire, this willingness by many to see things in the Constitution that are not there, and to ignore things which clearly are, would be laughable. One of the most commonly victimized areas is the Second Amendment. Although consisting of merely a single sentence and being worded quite plainly in stating, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed", the amendment is regularly bastardized and often outright rejected. This unambiguous wording is hardly a deterrent to those who seek to perpetually expand the restrictions on the ownership of weapons. Such factions are often comforted by convincing themselves that the Founding Father could not have possibly foreseen the devastating advances in weapons technology and, had they known, would not have included such language.
Contrary to this reasoning, at the time of the ratification, the tiny standing army and the insignificant national military budget made it a simple matter for a small group of armed civilians to rival the military might of the US armed forces, as was evident during The Whisky Rebellion in 1794. Moreover, during The War of 1812, the United States Navy consisted of only 23 ships with a total of 556 naval guns, whereas the privately owned American fleet numbered 517 vessels with nearly 3000 guns. But even these glaring facts did not convince this nation to disarm American citizens, because it was known that the best counter balance to the inherently oppressive nature of government is an armed citizenry. Today no group of people or collection of corporations could hope to match the firepower of the US government. Popular thought notwithstanding, the public today represents far less of an overall "threat" to national stability than did Americans of the past.
Certainly, the most creative "interpretation" of the Constitution is that which recognizes a woman´s supposed "right to abortion". Irrespective of one´s personal beliefs regarding this practice, the reality is that such a guarantee does not now, nor has it ever, existed. It is only after the highly inventive reading of our national charter and the creative application of the unstated and equally nebulous "right to privacy" that such a provision can be manufactured. Though a "fetus" is certainly human and definitely alive, the rejection of these truths, coupled with afore mentioned constitutional slight-of-hand and (presto, change-o) abortion is not only legal but it has been bestowed a type of constitutional dignity. Houdini would be envious.
While the misreading of the constitution and the feigning of the original intent of the Founders is typical, by far the most readily accepted of such distortions is the perception that the First Amendment stipulates a blanket restriction of any and all expressions of piety within the public domain. But despite how much it obviously pains the dogged opponents of all public displays of faith, the drafters of the constitution were not only highly educated but devoutly religious men; two concepts that many on the left find to be mutually exclusive. This is not to say, however, that some of them did not have overt distrusts of the power of religious institutions when existing as official branches of government. As such, the correct and logical balance was struck when formulating the Constitution. The position was for the government of the United States to have no position at all.
The general, lackluster grasp that most Americans have on the English language may make the wording of the Constitution seem lofty, but in truth this document is constructed in manifestly simple and overwhelming direct terms. Where referencing religion, the First Amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". This is not cryptic. This is not complicated. And this most certainly isn´t wording that can only be translated by an elitist, chosen few, regardless of what constitutional lawyers may think. The intent is clearly that the government is prohibited from either helping religious institutions or hindering the ability of the public to pursue their faith.
Those objecting to the recital of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools maintain that making reference to a deity, no matter how brief and nonspecific is tantamount to the establishment of an official, state religion. In a political, social atmosphere brimming with self-serving exaggerations, this one rises to the top as being particularly obscene. How one can equate the utterance of a few nondescript words to the taking of legislative action towards the establishment of a theocratic system of government is beyond me. The attempt is not just silly, but certifiably paranoid.
Actions taken by those suffering from this mania, in the courtrooms of America, come far closer to a prohibition of "the free exercise thereof". I suppose that the evisceration of religious freedoms that has taken place over recent decades is technically OK, considering that "Congress" has passed no laws specific to the restriction of religious expression. Such repressive guidelines have been manufactured by courts, which have no authority to draft laws. But who does and who doesn´t possess this authority is another minor constitutional detail that is regularly disregarded.
An essential part of the argument to remove all references to G-d from anything "public", is the idea that activities occurring in or around any institution, property, or organization that receives public funding have the official sanction of the government. But what in this country is immune to being, in some imaginative way, connected to government cash? Our roads are federally funded and companies who build and maintain them are subject to federal employment guidelines. Washington has the power to regulate interstate commerce and therefore, any business using the interstate transportation system can be dictated to. What business doesn´t? During recent debates on the school vouchers, the inference was that by not taxing parents for public school expenses that this would be "giving" them money to be used in the support of private educational institutions. And make no mistake about it, once such a system was in place, soon thereafter would come the government mandates. I´m sure ideologues who embrace this reasoning feel obligated to thank their local mugger for providing them with money, by not robbing them.
A claimed violation of the "separation of church and state" is not the sole objection by those seeking a permanent ban on the Pledge of Allegiance and other, similar works. There is an assortment of protests. Some are rooted in the view of America as a racist state. Others rise from the impression that we are an imperialist and vindictive world power. Still more spring from the noble crusade to save anyone and everyone from torment of being offended. But no repudiation will carry as much weight as those presumably founded in the Constitution.
In a society such as our, there is no shortage of people attempting to appear righteous. In fact it could probably be designated our national pastime. Clearly, nothing better facilitates sanctimonious posturing than does the occasional reference to the supreme law of the land. Yet no amount of passion will provide value to a point-of-view that has its foundations laid in ignorance or innovative distortions.
Please allow me to present an insightful commentary made years ago by Red Skelton.
" .Getting back to school, I remember a teacher that I had. Now I only went, I went through the seventh grade. I left home when I was 10 years old because I was hungry."
"And ... this is true. I worked in the summer and went to school in the winter. But, I had this one teacher, he was the principal of the Harrison school, in Vincennes, Indiana. To me, this was the greatest teacher, a real sage of ...of my time, anyhow."
"He had such wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day, and he walked over. This little old teacher ... Mr. Lasswell was his name."
"He said: 'I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?'"
- - Me; an individual; a committee of one.
- - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.
- - My love and my devotion.
To the Flag
- - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of courage; and wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.
Of The United
- - That means that we have all come together.
- - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided by imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common cause, and that is love of country, of America
. And to the Republic
- - Republic--a sovereign state in which power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation
- - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.
- - Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty
- - Which is Freedom; the right of power for one to live his own life, without fears, threats, or any sort of retaliation.
And Justice
- - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.
For All
- - For All--that means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that be eliminated from schools, too?
Red Skelton ( July 18, 1913 - Sept 17, 1997)
Thanks Red, "Good Night ... and ... God Bless"
The Pledge of Allegiance
Francis Bellamy (1855 - 1931), a Baptist minister, wrote the original Pledge in August 1892. He was a Christian Socialist. In his Pledge, he is expressing the ideas of his first cousin, Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897).
Francis Bellamy in his sermons and lectures and Edward Bellamy in his novels and articles described in detail how the middle class could create a planned economy with political, social and economic equality for all. The government would run a peace time economy similar to our present military industrial complex.
The Pledge was published in the September 8th issue of The Youth's Companion, the leading family magazine and the Reader's Digest of its day. Its owner and editor, Daniel Ford, had hired Francis in 1891 as his assistant when Francis was pressured into leaving his Baptist church in Boston because of his socialist sermons. As a member of his congregation, Ford had enjoyed Francis's sermons. Ford later founded the liberal and often controversial Ford Hall Forum, located in downtown Boston.
In 1892 Francis Bellamy was also a chairman of a committee of state superintendents of education in the National Education Association. As its chairman, he prepared the program for the public schools' quadricentennial celebration for Columbus Day in 1892. He structured this public school program around a flag raising ceremony and a flag salute - his 'Pledge of Allegiance.'
His original Pledge read as follows: 'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.' He considered placing the word, 'equality,' in his Pledge, but knew that the state superintendents of education on his committee were against equality for women and African Americans. [ * 'to' added in October, 1892. ]
Dr. Mortimer Adler, American philosopher and last living founder of the Great Books program at Saint John's College, has analyzed these ideas in his book, The Six Great Ideas. He argues that the three great ideas of the American political tradition are 'equality, liberty and justice for all.' 'Justice' mediates between the often conflicting goals of 'liberty' and 'equality.'
In 1923 and 1924 the National Flag Conference, under the 'leadership of the American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution, changed the Pledge's words, 'my Flag,' to 'the Flag of the United States of America.' Bellamy disliked this change, but his protest was ignored.
In 1954, Congress after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, added the words, 'under God,' to the Pledge. The Pledge was now both a patriotic oath and a public prayer.
Bellamy's granddaughter said he also would have resented this second change. He had been pressured into leaving his church in 1891 because of his socialist sermons. In his retirement in Florida, he stopped attending church because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there.

Problem with Impromtu sub report
I am new to Impromtu (and also to this forum). I needed to create 2 reports in 1 page from 2 different queries. I created a new "Simple List" report and pasted the 1st query by hand in SQL portion. Then I inserted a sub-report of type "List Frame" - it asks for a query - when I go to SQL and just try to EDIT, impromtu crashes with "Dont Send" message. I am using Cognos Series 7 Version 2 Impromtu. Any help? anyone faced this before?

With that said, for the everyday type stuff I usually do go with ASUS, they are well built in my experience. Has anyone tried DFI? What would you suggest for a good board for overclocking?

RedCat's Tribute
Bracebridge Travel Blog› entry 73 of 74 › view all entries
There are some people I want to thank in China. Some people that made my life easier, enriched my experience and brought me a lot of joy. They taught me how being culturally different can be fun, amusing and worth a laugh. They showed me a better way to do a task, a different view on the same subject and taught me that if you feel like you don't belong in the life you are given; chances are someone up in the big sky made a mistake on your order and you landed in the wrong part on Earth.
~*~ Family~*~
Zhou Family (Mama & Baba)
I could have never asked for a better family to become a part of. While in China, I never felt without family, never felt lonely because I had two great people who took me in as a daughter and treated me like they would do their own. I want to thank Wei's mom, for being so accepting of our relationship and so open about it. For allowing herself to embrace the fact that I am from a completely different world basically and having the patience to teach me Chinese ways. I really am going to miss the laughs, the jokes and the teasing. Keep working on your English! Also, Wei's father for being supportive and and a positive personality.
Yang Family (Xiao Yi (Auntie), Shu Shu (Uncle) & Johnsen)
I have to give thanks to Xiao Yi and Yang Shu Shu, for welcoming us so warmly into their home and not having a problem with our relationship. I was spoiled, I was part of conversations and Xiao Yi even made attempts to talk to me, encouraging me to use Chinese as well. I loved the motorcycle rides as well by Yang Shu Shu! It was great, and the gifts were wonderful. I am sad to have left China and left behind this great family but I know I am apart of it now and I will always be able to come back to it. Thank you. Oh and Johnson, thank you for helping Wei with her computer!
Li Family (Auntie, Uncle & Li)
They took us in when we were homeless and they let us stay when we needed a place in Wuhan. Li did so much to get my passport, lead me around places I needed to go when Wei wasn't in China and I won't forget this. This is what family does for one another and I can only hope to extend that same curtesy one day; perhaps to Li's future children.
Fang Family (Uncle, Auntie & Matt)
Fang Shu Shu was one of the most interesting and hilarious people I met in China. Good natured and full of laughs, I had a great time meeting him. I sadly didn't see Auntie much, but I did get to see Matt (Fang Ming Hui) in the end and I am happy I could spoil him a bit. But boy! What an active son they have on their hands!
Xiao Mama & Friends
The watermelon, walks and sports were great, but the talks were even better. Xiao mama was great for conversations, for business ideas and she taught me how to gamble! Shhhhh! I loved trying to speak Chinese with her, I even surprised her sometimes with how much I did know, and I won't forget how good natured everyone of Mama's friends was. I really want to come back and see you all again!
Abby-> One of the best people I met and made friends with in Wuhan. I am so happy I got to work along side you and have you in my China experience because you are just that awesome. Abby helped me so much in trying to get my passport and in the case against New Jordan International Education Group. I can't thank her enough!
Craig & Sasha -> Foreign co-workers of mine from India, I am so sorry wei and I didn't get to see you before we left but I want you to know that we loved visiting you guys in Wuhan and we are hoping to see you in the future; maybe in India? You are the most fun people I have ever met! And the most honest and open hearted people too!
Kris & Herin-> Quite simply to put, being with you two was a blast and I won't forget the bullying soon Kris! Now I know what it means to be "accepted" into the friend circle. I wish we could have done more together but life's like that. I'll be back to have more smiles!
Cindy & Wendy-> What can I say? You two are not funny, you're hilarious and the time we did spend together always had laughs and teasing; joking like all good friends should. Being friends with you two let me see what life growing up could have been like for me, and with friends like you two and a city as big as China can provide; I think it would have been an exciting chapter in my life; my childhood. Thanks so much for giving that to me now!
Ray, Kitty & Ike-> Ike's birthday was a blast and I'm happy to have shown some of my Chinese skills (as limited as they were) to a group of friends who didn't mind my clumsiness in other Chinese aspects!
Jeni (Dan Dan)-> Loyal always, laughs a plenty and good at giving advice, lending a hand and keeping surprise secrets (even though Wei is too good at detective work for her own good). We missed the meeting up part but it's ok, there is plenty of time in the future; espeically at the wedding (which you must attend) hehe.
Cheney-> I want to thank you for your kindness and friendship when I needed it most, on my trip to Hong Kong. I was so nervous but with your help it made the process so much easier. I won't forget that. I hope your studies go well in Hong Kong.
Jay & "No.1"-> If there is one thing I regret, it is not being able to visit in August (what a shame!). It was great having you and No.1 stay for a visit, what great guests you two are! Thanks for the treats, the memories but most importantly; now it is my turn to ask "Jay Jay, what are you doing?"
Julia-> Julia... ok I won't tease you too bad. I won't tell them how when Wei and I went to visit and your bed was a mess, or the fact that sometimes due to your poor eyesight you never even noticed us walking by you (I also won't admit that I didn't notice you right away either) and I most certainly won't mention how easy and fun it is to tease you. You are a great person, a great friend and a lot of fun to be with!
Lu-> I am so happy we got to meet up. Sorry we didn't get to go out much but you can be sure I'll be keeping in touch, writing cards and letters (I hope to get some too like the good old days?) and looking forward to hearing about your travel stories now!
Brett & Liva-> Let's just say, it was good to have other foriegners on my side who felt the same way I did. It made me realize I wasn't crazy or an evil person. Thank you.
Daniel -> Thanks for letting us crash at your place when I landed. It gave Wei and I some bonding time. I've also heard these infamous stories of how you can eat 60 dumplings at one sitting... remind me not to treat you out to dinner ok? *wink*

The entire family was really excited to go for their first vacation abroad. I, being the most experienced with domestic air travel was handed the responsibility of all the formalities. On our return, I tried Thomas Cook's currency exchange, which was much better than the method I tried before coming.Amrit Shukla
Thailand was the obvious choice of destination for our honeymoon. With its pristine beaches and ancient temples, there was a lot this place had on offer. It was even cheaper than we'd anticipated and we had to convert our THB to INR, for which Thomas Cook proved to be a brilliant choice too!Lisa D'souza
An international trip at the beginning of one's career can be a daunting task. Considering the tight finances, and meagre saving, getting a good exchange rate of thb to inr is of pivotal importance. Thomas Cook's currency exchange offered just that and more. The experience was delightful!Ruchita Mehra

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite advancements in conventional therapeutic approaches to CRC, most patients with CRC die of their disease. There is a need to develop novel therapeutic agents for this malignancy. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the anticancer effects and elucidate the underlying mechanism of MHY451 in HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells. Treatment with MHY451 inhibited cell growth in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. MHY451 increased the accumulation of cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase. This agent decreased the protein level of cyclin B1 and its activating partners, Cdc25c and Cdc2, whereas it increased the cell cycle inhibitor p21WAF/CIP. The induction of apoptosis was observed by decreased viability, cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), alteration in the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 protein expression and reduction of procaspase-8 and -9. Pretreatment with Z-VAD-FMK, a pan-caspase inhibitor, inhibited MHY451-induced apoptosis, indicating that apoptotic cell death by MHY451 was mediated through caspases. Moreover, the apoptotic effect of MHY451 was reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent, evidenced by the inhibition of MHY451-induced PARP cleavage and ROS generation by N-acetylcysteine-induced ROS scavenging. Taken together, these results demonstrate that MHY451 exerts anticancer effects by regulating the cell cycle, inducing apoptosis through caspase activation and generating ROS. These results suggest that MHY451 has considerable potential for chemoprevention or treatment of CRC or both.

Predicting and assigning functions for putative genes and hypothetical proteins are important goals in the post-genomic era. Many methods have been developed for this challenge, among which the straightforward way is function prediction using sequence homology. Homology-based function prediction applies sequence-alignment tools to find homology relationships between functions of known genes and putative genes, and transfers the most similar functions of known genes to putative genes. This approach fails completely for about 30% of genes, and only 3% have any supporting experimental evidence. According to supporting evidence, genes are known to be regulated by a common transcriptional regulatory element if the expression profiles of the coregulated genes are highly correlated. We propose a new conceptual approach and method for nonhomology-based function-prediction methods for putative genes and hypothetical proteins. We have established patterns, also considered to be combinations, of common transcriptional regulatory elements for functional classes of mouse (Mus musculus) transcripts (the TREP_DB). Using these results, we have also established a function-prediction method for putative genes and hypothetical proteins. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin in the B-complex group, and an exogenous intake is required for health, growth and development. As a precursor to co-factors, folic acid is required for one-carbon donors in the synthesis of DNA bases and other essential biomolecules. A lack of dietary folic acid can lead to folic acid deficiency and can therefore result in several health problems, including macrocytic anemia, elevated plasma homocysteine levels, cardiovascular disease, birth defects, carcinogenesis, muscle weakness and difficulty in walking. Previous studies have indicated that folic acid exerts a positive effect on skeletal muscle functions. However, the precise role of folic acid in skeletal muscle cell differentiation remains poorly understood. Thus, in the present study, we examined the effects of folic acid on neo-myotube maturation and differentiation using C2C12 murine myoblasts. We found that folic acid promoted the formation of multinucleated myotubes, and increased the fusion index and creatine kinase (CK) activity in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, western blot analysis revealed that the expression levels of the muscle-specific marker, myosin heavy chain (MyHC), as well as those of the myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), MyoD and myogenin, were increased in the folic acid-treated myotubes during myogenic differentiation. Folic acid also promoted the activation of the Akt pathway, and this effect was inhibited by treatment of the C2C12 cells with LY294002 (Akt inhibitor). Blocking of the Akt pathway with a specific inhibitor revealed that it was necessary for mediating the stimulatory effects of folic acid on muscle cell differentiation and fusion. Taken together, our data suggest that folic acid promotes the differentiation of C2C12 cells through the activation of the Akt pathway.

Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) has become one of the most widely used methods for rapid identification of proteins in proteomics research. Many peaks, however, remain unassigned after PMF analysis, partly because of post-translational modification and the limited scope of protein sequences. Almost all PMF tools employ only known or predicted protein sequences and do not include open reading frames (ORFs) in the genome, which eliminates the chance of finding novel functional peptides. Unlike most tools that search protein sequences from known coding sequences, the tool we developed uses a database for theoretical small ORFs (tsORFs) and a PMF application using a tsORFs database (tsORFdb). The tsORFdb is a database for ORFeome that encompasses all potential tsORFs derived from whole genome sequences as well as the predicted ones. The massProphet system tries to extend the search scope to include the ORFeome using the tsORFdb. The tsORFdb and massProphet should be useful for proteomics research to give information about unknown small ORFs as well as predicted and registered proteins. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Morin is a flavone that has anti-inflammatory effects through a mechanism that is not well understood. Based on the extreme sensitive nature of the transcription factor, NF-kB to redox change, it is postulated that morin's anti-NF-κB activation likely depends on its ability to scavenge excessive reactive species [RS]. The present study assessed the extent of morin's ability to modulate RS-induced NF-κB activation through its scavenging activity. Results indicate that morin neutralized RS in vitro and inhibited t-BHP-induced RS generation. It also examined morin for suppressed redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-κB activation via reduced DNA binding activity, IκBα phosphorylation and p65/p50 nuclear translocation. The more important finding was that suppression of the NF-κB cascade by morin was modulated through the ERK and p38 MAPKs signal transduction pathways in endothelial cells. As a consequence, morin's anti-oxidant effect extended expression level of NF-κB dependent pro-inflammatory genes, thereby reducing COX-2, iNOS and 5-LOX. The data indicate that morin has strong anti-oxidative power against RS-induced NF-κB modulation through the ERK and p38 MAPKs signalling pathways by its RS scavenging activity. The significance of the current study is the new revelation that morin may have potential as an effective anti-inflammatory therapeutic agent. © 2010 Informa UK Ltd.

Betaine is an important human nutrient obtained from various foods and studies in animals and humans have provided results suggesting their pathogenesis of various chronic diseases and points to a role in risk assessment and disease prevention. However, the molecular mechanisms of its activity remain poorly understood and warrant further investigation. This study was performed to investigate the anti-inflammation and tumor preventing capacity of betaine on colitis-associated cancer in mice. In in vivo experiments, we induced colon tumors in mice by azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and evaluated the effects of betaine on tumor growth. Administration with betaine significantly decreased the incidence of tumor formation with downregulation of inflammation. Treatment with betaine inhibited ROS generation and GSSG concentration in colonic mucosa. Based on the qPCR data, administration of betaine inhibited inflammatory cytokines such TNF-α, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2. In in vitro experiments, LPS-induced NF-κB and inflammatory-related cytokines were inhibited by betaine treatment in RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. Our findings suggest that betaine is one of the candidates for the prevention of inflammation-associated colon carcinogenesis.


text: History: Installed new lawn this spring (bad timing I now suspect). Got about 80 Yds Topsoil delivered to fix grade, installed Irrigation system. Seeded with Lesco double eagle blend. Grass came in decent. One section (with more shade) looks amazing. Other sections, all sun, have 60% Crabgrass 40% turf. My plan. Late September I plan on overseeding again. I am going to cut the lawn low and bag it up. I will rake it out to pick any debris and try to thin out the crab grass. I will then overseed using an overseeder (slit seeder) and I will apply a starter fertilizer After germination. Come next spring I will apply a pre-emergent and maintain a healthy lawn in hopes I can combat the crabgrss. Questions: Is this an effective method in suppressing the crabgrass? Since I am expecting the crabgrass to die in late september I am hoping the new grass will be able to take root which will in turn assist with supressing the crabgrass. Can the new seed grow THROUGH the existing crabgrass if I slit seed over the crabgrass that is there? Can I seed before I apply Pre-em. in spring? Anything else I can do? I spend a lot of time trying to make my lawn beautiful and It actually depresses me to see my hard work turn to crabgrass. Thanks in advance.

Well, I used to buy a lot of vintage clothing in my teenage years so that's the image I get from the name. I think it would make a quirky mn choice but I wouldn't use it for a first name (especially with the random "y" thrown in). Considering that the term "vintage" is usually associated with the quality of aging, enduring or improving over time (eg. wine), it makes an interesting word for a name.All the best,

That is horrible. Vintage in itself is not great but Vyntage??
That's like Millionaire v. Milyonare. Ick.

Good god - it's awful.
I see why somebody might think it's a good idea. Right now the whole idea of 'vintage' - vintage clothes, vintage furniture, vintage names - is trendy. And why name your little girl something old and disgusting like Eleanor or Dorothy when you can go all out and name her the REAL thing? Name her the trend itself, of course.
Like somebody in the 20s naming their kid Flapper. Or somebody in the 70s naming their kid Groovy or Mod or Sexual Liberation. The logic is there, I suppose.Rosemary / Briar / Evangeline / Sibyl / Alba

TheManRoom has posted their review of Rugby 2005, giving it a 7 out of 10.
"Rubgy 2005 has benefited from three years of development with the results of that effort most evident in how the game performs on the pitch. Everything else looks and feels like a rushed first-generation game in dire need of some tender loving developer care. Closet Rugby fans will no doubt get into the accurate gameplay while the rest of us should look at this release as the perfect time to finally get educated on the mysterious "other" sport that involves kicking a ball through uprights. Now all I need is a Cricket game and my sports knowledge deficiencies can finally be put to rest."

#areebamakesthing - It's one of my most favorite hashtag which I use on instagram to show off my newest creations, be it a handmade pillowcase or notebooks. I love creating stuff, I think it's my superpower because creation is an ultimate gift for women by nature and I'm always too curious about what can I create with my powers mixed with creativity.
I've been into blogging for 4 years now, I used to design blogs back in past but I took a break from it and concentrated only on blogging. But I am coming back at it with a few twists, I'll be making illustrations and other fab things for online people as well. It's mainly because I've been posting my illustrations on instagram and twitter and so many people asked me if I took custom illustrations order - And I thought IT'S A SIGN & that was it. I will finally be playing the role of young struggling artist online with art to make and a future to a glorious art school.
#areebamakesthings is a start of how I want to shape my future as an art kid. I want to fill my present and coming years with art, creativity, power of creation and making beautiful things.
Here are a few of my most recent and favorite illustrations.
We all are witches at some point. Aren't we?
My type of fun, please.

King Kong Osram...
Hi friends,
this is a story about Little Miguel (that's me, once again little) and King Kong Osram. All of a sudden I was in hands of a mighty beast... but before we come to the real action, let me explain the whole story:
On friday, at the end of the shift in the project, my more than 20 year old Metz would say goodbye. I took the last three shots without flashlight, they turned out very well... but I wasn't happy at all. At home I dismounted the flash, measured... and the thing is that there is nothing to do at all. I would need at least 8 different parts to rebuild it, and thinking about Monday made me very nervous. I was not quite sure about the route through objects for the mondaysession, but hoped that there wouldn't be any paintings under glass...
Saturday I went to a local shop of a photographer, mostly dedicated to the BBC (BodasBautizosComuniones - WeddingsCristianingsCommunions) and asked him if he could lend me some of his Metz I knew he had worked with some years ago.
'Oh, sorry Miguel. I gave them away last month... (I could killed him in this momento, but stayed completely shocked)... but if you want, I can give you my new Metzes or do you want the Nikons? (I couldn't answer, still thinking about this oldies... now away).
"Well, Tano (that's his short name), thanks a lot for the offer... but don't you have something you didn't GIVE AWAY, anything really old... you know what I mean, ya sabes amigo, something you could have forgotten to GIVE AWAY?'" (grrr, like forgetting about me...grrrrr)
He looked at me, and suddenly he became aware of the drama. He knew that I was deeply in love with the old Metzes... he knew... but he forgot. His face turned from red to yellow.
Then he disappeared in the backstore. Backstores in Spain are normally in a village like mine about five times the frontstore, so I wasn't surprised that he would leave me for nearly half an hour waiting. Also I was commited to stay. I needed a flashgun, this was the only place to get a decent machine... and Tano is a friend, even if he probably had left the store through the backdoor.
"Miguel, look what I have found!" Tano was excited, holding a box in his hand (dust was coming of the box while he crossed the store towards me, fainting in the far too brilliant shoplights.
And here is, where the first part should have stopped. You know, like in a film, where the director enters the frozen scene and explains something about changing plans.
But it didn't stop. Tano had found an Osram VS 281 Studio 2, and before I could even say 'wait a momento, brother...', he had filled the monolito, black strange bully thing with four AA's. He fondled a bit with the buttoms and nothing happened. He went from red to white directly this time.
I can stand the suffering of a friend, so I surrendered. I took the the THING in both hands (weights a bit less than the R1, bueno half the weight maybe) and tried to understand the controls. Found the test shot button, asked for a dark room and closed the door. Quick adjustments on the R1 and pressed the button that says 'Test shot'.
BUUUUUUUUUUUM. I nearly got rocked out of my sandals and for half a minute wasn't able to see anything else but stars and red things (me idiot, close your eyes before and DURING). When I could find the light switch again without crashing into piled equipment, I decided not to test anything more.
'That's ok, Tano. I'll keep that .. ehem.. flash. Will work. How much I owe you?", and Tano, totally surprised gave me a price, I paid it and went out, thanking him for his help. For only some milimeters I didn't run into the door while leaving. I was still totally blind.
Next part within some time, I have promised Jill to honor African Mamas, and this means that I have to prepare my dinner ... stay tuned, we will come pronto to the part where I dare to fight with King Kong...
Moving as smooth as possible on a thin skin of ice protecting me from myself

fluent text command doesnt show all options!
hi all,
I wanted to write a journal file for fluent to do some changes in case and run them. so I write text-user interface commands in a text file and read it as a journal. but now I want to change some turbulence parameters like the wall treatment options in k-e and RSM; but I cant find how can I set these parameters in text UI? in fluent help it is mentioned that there are many options in /define/models/viscous but when I check in fluent window, it doesn't show all options and I can just choose model of turbulence with no other options!
there may be a command to activate all options in text mode, but I wasn't able to find it.
I use fluent 6.3.26x64 in Linux and the case is a 2ddp case.
thank you in advance,
Hi mohamad,
in /define/models/viscous, first enable the turbulence model then for both ke and RSM the near wall treatment is available in /define/models/viscous; I checked that for a 3ddp case; otherwise, you can also use other journal file preparation method; you can use file->write->start journal, then do what ever you want in GUI and at last in file->write->stop journal, terminate that.
oh you're right Amir!! it was a foolish mistake and also bad user-interface of FLUENT!!

The Transalpin
Feldkirch Travel Blog› entry 4 of 5 › view all entries
July 26th, 2008 – by: Lucas_J
The train has one Panorama wagon, which, departing from Vienna, is the second one from the back. I don't understand why someone would buy a 1st class ticket and not use this wagon. You can see it in the picture, as well as the interior arrangement. It's a coach (saloon) wagon, with tables for every seat.
You will allow a quick detour to tell you what I love about 1st class travel.
Back to 1st class though, among the amenities you get, at least on long-haul trains in Austria, are a welcoming Club Lounge in some important stations, free newspapers and personal service during your trip, and at-seat drinks and snacks.
Finally, there are much less people travelling 1st class nowadays, which means you always get a free seat (and about everyone reserves theirs), which is not always possible in 2nd class (see my first post for more on 2nd class seat-scavengers).
Closing the loop, I'm on the Transalpin, going to Feldkirch (final destination Uberlingen, Germany). As we pass Salzburg and "the German corner" the scenery suddenly changes and the most beautiful Apline pastures come in sight. Past Innsbruck and the train enters a set of tunnels, viaducts and bridges that entertain the eye every moment, and cut through some of the most breathtaking mountains in Europe.
I would reccomend it as the best way to enjoy the Alps, if you don't have the time / money to actually stop and ski there.
