I watched City of Angels all the way through last night... And me being me, a sucker for romanticism, i heard this song near the end, and i couldnt help but like it, even though its so sad... here it is:
November Rain
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare
Act II, Scene II
Oberon: "What thou seest when thou dost wake,
Do it for thy true-love take,
Love and languish for his sake:
Be it ounce, or cat, or bear,
Pard, or boar with bristled hair,
In thy eye that shall appear
When thou wakest, it is thy dear:
Wake when some vile thing is near."
And on an even shittier note, I was mugged in the New York City Subway today... I decided to leave my knife at homem, which i never do, because i couldnt bring it where i was going... and i get robbed... NYPD, the slowest and shittiest police force in the nation, decided to take their sweet time, and the asshole got away.... and now, i'm fucked.... THANK YOU NYPD!!!! *kills them all*
Well, wide world... I had another vision... *looks awkwardly around* I'm getting tired of them already... It's the same girl, and another i know from the past, who is older, standing in front of an all encompassing black background... They are waering very modern clothes...The one i know, Named net for this vision, is a couple of inches shorter than me, with straight reddish black hair... she looks similar to the other, except her facial features are more sharp... The image twists, and they become one... There is both anger and hate, good and evil, all in one face, that never quite stays the same.... there is laughter, and the image splits, revealing both girls again, With Net saying that she "sees all things and more, boy..." and as the vision fades, she contiues to laugh evilly... There is a very strong sense that both are bound together, and a sense of hatred so deep I cannot begin to understand its reason for even being.....
I had an interesting vision last night.... I spent 5 hours running around, desperately searching for a net connection so i could write it down... forgetting the pen and pocket notebook i keep for such things... I was at an accupuncture thingie yesterday (a few hours later i did yoga!!!! :P), and I was deep in meditation... my head looked like a porcupine, and I was sipping Chai tea when i decided to meditate... Now, I keep pictures of my more important friends here on ET, mainly because I like to... I keep them in my wallet, so I can symbolically carry you all around with me... Well, a certain photo was pulled out, and I meditated with it placed in the third eye location *for those of you who dont know, its the portion right between, and directly above, the eyebrows... here is, in as much detail as i can give without telling you the person's name, my vision:
"Si le monde n'était pas aussi fatigué que ceux qui gouverne il semble être, alors peut-être ce monde serait un meilleur endroit..."
And for the non-french speaking/readi
English: "If the world was not as weary as those who rule it seem to be, then perhaps this world would be a better place."
En Español: "Si el mundo no era tan fatigado como los que lo gobiernan parece ser, entonces quizás este mundo sería un mejor lugar."
if it were true...
"There's another world
inside of me
that you may never see...
There's secrets in
this life that I cant hide..."
"So hold me when I'm near,
Right me when I'm wrong,
Hold me when I'm scared,
And love me when I'm gone."
"I'll never let you down,
even if i could,
I'd give up everything
If only for your good (i think thats how it goes)
So hold me when I'm near,
Right me when I'm wrong...
Love me when I'm scared,
I won't always be there,
So love me when I'm gooooooone....
I love that song, i just cant remember the title... or all the lyrics, apparently...
One of the most grave injustices ever visited upon mankind by the Gods was the power to take another's life, especially our own.
You see, Suicide is something the person doing it doesn't realise hurts people more than he/she ever hurt... I lost my brother Ben, who was 19 at the time, in 1999... And no one knows exactly why he did it. He had so much potential, and so many things going for him... He was handsome, lucky with women... talented with regards to his martial arts, guitar, and poetry.... He was intelligent, and never failed at anything he gave an honest effort into doing...
So why would he kill himself? Only the Gods and Ben know, and no one is telling... But the point I make here today is that pain that my family, and all of Ben's friends (he had many, you know) felt at his death... it will never fade... We get no release from it... Only hurt...
And so it is with the family and friends of every suicide and murder victim, because it was a life ended before its time... and who would like to see a loved one die before it's their time??? No one.
Where there is love,
there is pain.
Where there is an obstacle,
there is an opening.
Where there is sadness,
there is joy.
Where there's a man,
there's a little boy...
I cry myself to sleep at night
wondering if i'll wake up...
Don't know if it'll be alright...
Cuz everything is so fucked up...
Where there is love,
there is pain.
Where there is an obstacle,
there is an opening.
Where there is sadness,
there is joy.
Where there's a man,
there's a little boy...
Trippin cuz I don't give a damn,
about the things you said to me...
Wondering how it got so weird here...
And how i went so crazy....
Where there is love,
there is pain.
Where there is an obstacle,
there is an opening.
Where there is sadness,
there is joy.
Where there's a man,
there's a little boy...
-Looking for help on finishing it.. let me know what you think-
Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and biggotry ...
Be gone?
I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
I'm just a dreamer
Who's searching for the way
I'm just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Girl Like That-Matchbox 20
you think this life would make me bolder
but I'm running scared is all
I hang on everything about you
you think I'd settle down cuz I'm older
but I roll with the changes is all
I'm same old trailer trash in new shoes
she gets sad when there's nothing going on
she says it makes her feel damn worthless
(chorus 1)
well you got to think with a girl like that
any love at all, is better than nothing
it's better than nothing
I put my hands around your shoulder
you're saying you're scared is all
I think I know too much about you
you think this life would make me colder
I'd give in to the alcohol
I put my loving arms around you, child
you knew damn well there was nothing going on
is that what makes you feel damn worthless
(chorus 2)
well you got to think with a girl like that
any love is better than nothing
it's better than nothing
you got to think, with a girl like that
any love at all, is better than nothing
it's better than nothing
yeah she drags you down and she pulls you up
she pulls you up
says that she's sorry now but it's not enough
to pull you up
she's sorry
I wake up quick just like I want to
yeah but I stay out much too late
you think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays
down till the worth is gone
and pulls you up, she pulls you up,
she pulls you up and over, over
(chorus 2)
(chorus 1)
Well, world, I have arrived in a time and place where everything seems to fall together perfectly... Getting the proper papers together for an ID... Getting everything set to get a passport when my ID goes thru... these are the things that, like a master key, will open the doors of my future... Money, too, of course, but not as much as I would like... I may take up a class in locksmithing :P *Note: I was once arrested, and spent time in jail for, burglar of a business... so if i do get training as a locksmith, it would be most ironic... :P Well, i do have to say that I am running out of computer time, so I'll cut this thing short...
Without you I'm broken,
Shattered on the floor...
Hearing words unspoken
as you walk out of the door...
I cry myself to sleep at night
Wond'ring if you'll hear...
I will only be alright
The moment i have you here...
-just a little poetry to take this thing out... love to you all, and thank you for always being there, all of you... though one above all others has been there the most, and you know who you are ;)
Hey cruel world, how are you all??? :P I'm sitting in a homeless youth center, watching a bunch of people go insane.... sounds like a large group of me's :P I went to some of the places most folks my age go.... clubs, bars, party spots.... and nothing happened but headeaches... no drunks, no buzzes, just headaches... so theres something i have to say: I LOOOOOOOOVE YOU ALLLLL!!!!!!!!
Hullo again, everyone... i will be trying to get online as much as possible for the next little while... I am working on doing quite a lot of things, and i really just havent had much time to be online....
Some of you have asked me why i decided to pick back up and travel: its a sort of long story, but to make it short, i had to go..... thats about it... and i wont stop until ive made it somewhere where i can settle down and live happily....
Been having some fucked up dreams lately.... they are so filled with love, and joy... so much so that i rarely want to even wake up.... i just want to sleep, and stay in my dreams... at least there i feel loved... the faces of my loved ones(in my dreams mind you) change, ans do names, but the overwhelming love and happiness stay the same... i just wish my real life could echo my dreams... some of you here have known me for quite awhile... others, not so long... but all of you, I'm sure, have seen just how hard it is for me to keep a relationship going... and long distance ones are even worse... but nevertheless, the heart wants what the heart wants.... amd i just want to not be lonely anymore.... i want to be loved.... settle down, get a successful job, a decent house... maybe even go for that wife and kids family thing.... it does sound appealing.....
Well, its time for me to go... Hugs to al, kisses to some, and have a lot of fun..... just think of me... and never ever forget that you all have a friend, and confidant, in me... no matter how long it takes me to get back online, i will be here for anyone who asks.... <3 Dave
hullo all... sorry about the lapse in log-in's... but ive been a very busy and devious little fellow.... i'm travelling, and thats about it right now... for all who worry, i'm alright... message me... i'll get it eventually...
Love to all....
The world i'm in is turning extremely topsy-turvy... i wont be getting on very often, until this passes... Adieu, my friends and loved ones, adieu until i come again... I love you all, in my own weird way... and no two people in quite the same way... with that said, i will be coming back to ET, i just dont know when... i am with you all...
Daemeon Arkenyon Zane

Growing up, I had a notebook of love letters that I wrote to my future husband. But… these letters didn't have any name. It was kind of "Dear ____" situation. I also lacked creativity in writing the letters, since I only wrote when I was lonely, excited for the future, or brokenhearted because I realized the guy I liked was NOT the future husband and would NOT be receiving the notebook bearing my soul.
So, I began to contemplate my old tradition. That notebook has since been lost, but now I know who I will be spending my future with. And, I still want a special collection of writings created only for him.
Josh, this is the modern form of my adolescent future husband letter notebook… my reflections on our story, our time together, and the reasons I love you.
This blog has been my little secret. I hope you enjoy perusing it as much as I enjoyed composing and compiling it.
[I started the blog in October, 2012… but entered journal entries and momentous occasions on the dates they occurred.]

Apple recently confirmed what plenty of iPhone 4/4S users already knew: some of the phones running iOS 5 have had "lower than expected" battery life. That's one way to describe the problem—my husband chose a more colorful route, referring to his brand-new constantly-in-need-of-recharging iPhone 4S as a "battery-sucking piece of crap."
While Apple promises that they're actively working on a fix for the battery issue, and a software update will be available in a few weeks that will address the hardware bugs that are causing the problem, that doesn't really help anyone whose phone is being a PITA right now. (My husband's phone not only runs down the battery on a constant basis, it gets super-hot to the touch while it's doing so.)
Luckily, there's at least one handy free app that can help you extend your iPhone's battery life ... at least until Apple releases iOS 5.0.1.
Philips BatterySense doesn't actually extend your iPhone's battery life on its own, but it's filled with interesting information about what you can do to maximize your remaining power when you're between charges. It basically takes a look at your device's current battery charge, and shows you what functions you can use (talking, Internet calling, eBook reading, Internet browsing, playing music, playing video, standby time, and gaming)—and for how long.
BatterySense also offers ideas for preserving your battery life via a clever 'What If?' slider. Are you in need of five hours worth of gaming (you big old slacker, you), but the meter only says you have three? Move the slider up to five, and the app will suggest settings that you can change manually to free up those extra two hours.
There are things you can do to your phone to make it more efficient, like switching off your Wi-Fi, reducing screen brightness, ditching push notifications, and disabling location services. BatterySense provides an easy way to see your entire battery situation at a glance, and hopefully eke out a little more power before your phone goes belly up (or burns a hole through your pocket).
It's not a solution, exactly, but it might just help you out until Apple's fix is released.
Have you had battery problems with your iPhone?

A variety of language features to modularize cross-cutting concerns have recently been discussed, e.g., open modules, annotation-based pointcuts, explicit join points, and quantified-typed events. All of these ideas are essentially a form of aspect-oriented interface between object-oriented and cross-cutting modules, but the representation of this interface differs. Previous works have studied maintenance benefits of AO programs compared to OO programs, by usually looking at a single AO interface. Other works have looked at several AO interfaces, but only on relatively small systems or systems with only one type of aspectual behavior. Thus, there is a need for a study that examines large, realistic systems for several AO interfaces to determine what problems arise and in which interface(s). The main contribution of this work is a rigorous empirical study that evaluates the effectiveness of these proposals for 4 different AO interfaces by applying them to 35 different releases of a software product line called MobileMedia and 50 different releases of a Web application called Health Watcher. In total, over 400k lines of code were studied across all releases. Our comparative analysis using quantitative metrics proposed by Chidamber and Kemerer shows the strengths and weaknesses of these AO interface proposals. Our change impact analysis shows the design stability provided by each of these recent proposals for AO interfaces.

We are pleased to present
3 days to experience and learn from THE DOGON ANCIENT WISDOM
The Patriarch of the modern civilization can be traced to the Ancient Greeks philosophers like Plato, Aristos, Pythagoras etc. Those ancient Greeks went to Africa (Ancient Egypt) for their education. Actually records shows that they never finished their education but ended up presenting themselves as Enlightened men and influence the modern world till today. The Greeks revered the language spoken by those Africans who taught them, they called it the 'Language of the Gods', Sacred glyphs (Hieroglyphs). The Dogons were the spiriual teachers, masters, and initiates at the mystery schools in the Nile and Niger valley. Dogon are a group of bloodlines who dedicated themselves as keepers of knowledge at the upper echelon of the Pharaonic society. When they forsaw the many invations, they migrate in order to preserve the sacred knowledge.
When the French anthropologist, Marcel Griaule and team visited the Dogon, a blind priest told them about Sirius star system. The French tream didn't realize that their capital city in France is named after Sirius star. The Dogon elder opened a small part of the mystery on Sirius star system and many speculations and misunderstandngs were written by different authors.
Now you get a chance to hear direct from a Dogon initiate. In this workshop, the Dogon will tell us about those mysteries that were reserved only for the initiates, during 3 days in 6 modules.
Friday 17: Divine Holy Day: Kemetic Meditation in white, and lectures
10-14hs ~ Human Destiny Part 1 - Where do we come from
16-20hs ~ Part 2: Reincarnation & the wondering spirit.
Saturday 18: Sirius star Mystery
10-14hs ~ Notion of time & space and spirituality
16-20hs ~ Sirius A, B, C in Orion constellation
Sunday 19: How to Spiritually clean negative energy from your home and your body
10-14hs ~Importance of Ancestors, spirit guide, entities in channelling/accessing
spiritual world
16-20hs ~Approach to spirit dimensions/Akashic records (practical workshop on
purification and protection)
Contrary to widespread belief, the Dogon are not just a small tribe that lives in Mali. Dogon bloodlines include the families of Naba (healers/priests), Woba (farmers), Yonlis (guardians of the kingship), Kediou (builders), Mende (blacksmiths), etc. These bloodlines are found in tribes such as Gourmantche, Chibisi, Dogomba, Farafara, Sonike, Germa, etc.
The Earth Center, as a non-profit institution established by the spiritual professionals (Nabas) of the Dogon culture, belongs to the Ancestral and Divine world. Dogon Elders of the continent of Meritah support the mission of The Earth Center as dictated by the Gods and Ancestors of the shrines they maintain. Nabas specialise in spiritual knowledge including astronomy, geomancy etc they are also linked to the enigmatic Nabatean people mentioned in historical texts.
Wahibptah Fahkara and other Dogon initiates will be sharing initiatic knowledge as preserved by the Dogon.
WahibPtah is a Dogon initiate, cultural activist, Researcher, Lecture, and a teacher of philosophy and spirituality. A spirit coming from the vestibule of worship and of enlightenment, working towards order and balance, illuminating the depth of the minds.
Hoping to share, transform and raise the frequency of the Planet & YOURSELF !

To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 19 December 1793
From Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr.
Monticello Dec: 19: 1793
Dear Sir
I received yesterday yours of the 8. inst: containing Mr. Le Roys letter of the 26. Nov. for the procurement and1 communication of which I return you many thanks. It relieved me from an apprehension I had begun to entertain that the protested bill of Rosses might be in considerable part swallowed up by an open Accompt, in which case I might have suffered and an important credit, the price of Edgehill, would have been lost to my Fathers Estate. I am happy to feel that I stand on as good ground as the sufficiency of Mr. Ross alltho I do not believe it is perfectly sure.
I am still unlucky with respect to your letter containing instructions to me in this affair of the mortgage: at my request a memorandum concerning that packet was transmited to Mr. Davis by the Postmaster of Charlottesville: nevertheless it has failed to come: the new mail was delivered I suppose and brought away before the other was opened.
Your letter to Mr. Stewart was forwarded without delay. Mr. Biddle has prepared all things for the journey and will set out as soon as Mr. Stewart gives notice that the sheep are ready.
The threshing machine I shall take into particular care when I am in Richmond again, to which it cannot be long. A prospect-glass which came from Alexander Donald to you by Wm. Mewburn is lodged safe at Monticello.
We are all well. Martha and Maria both write. I am Dear Sir with the most sincere affection your friend & Servt.
Th: M. Randolph
RC (MHi); endorsed by TJ as received 30 Dec. 1793 and so recorded in SJL.

For first time pilots, HobbyZone's Firebird Commander™ makes learning to fly easier than ever. Plus once you've earned your wings, the Firebird Commander easily converts via an onboard programmable computer chip to Expert Mode, offering increased control response for exciting maneuvers like wingovers, dives and even pylon turns.
HobbyZone's Firebird Commander features a revolutionary flight control system called Smart-Trak. With Smart-Trak, an on-board time-based computer adjusts control throws based on selected modes, conditions and throttle positions significantly improving the flight handling and performance. The difference is amazing, and the Firebird Commander is the only airplane available featuring the Smart-Trak control system.
Standard Mode: Designed for first time pilots, Standard Mode gives positive control response, while preventing the common problem of crashes caused form over-controlling and spiraling. When a full right or left steering input is given, the rudders move beyond normal travel in the direction of the turn for about two seconds. This gives a strong initial control response, allowing for quick turns and responsive maneuvering. If the stick is held over for more than 2 seconds, the rudders automatically reduce throw (about 50%), maintaining the turn yet preventing over-controlling and spiraling. With Standard Mode activated, flying the Firebird Commander is as easy as driving around the sky, and you don't have to worry about crashes caused from over-controlling. Now anyone can fly successfully the fist time out!
Expert Mode: After you've mastered the basics, take it to the next level and unlock Expert Mode. Enter Expert Mode by simply turning on the Firebird Commander first, and then turning on the transmitter switch with the throttle stick in the full throttle position. In Expert Mode, the Firebird Commander gives increased control throw and response, allowing for more advanced maneuvers like spirals, wingovers, swooping dives and climbs. Even seasoned pilots love flying the Firebird Commander in Expert Mode. With this increased maneuverability, you can even race around pylons or engage other pilots in aerial combat.
In both Smart-Trak modes, the control throw is increased to maximum anytime the motor is in the Off position. This gives positive control authority even during glide and on approach to landing.
For extra fun and excitement, the Firebird Commander comes standard with an innovative X-Port that lets you add exciting optional plug-in accessories like the Sonic Combat Module and Aerial Drop Module (both sold separately).

The 1950s rock 'n' roller was the motivation for the Pistols' fifth consecutive UK top ten single
By 1979, much of the original punk ethic may have evaporated, but the UK charts could still muster a snarl, and an echo of the rock 'n' roll spirit. So who did the Sex Pistols turn to for the song that provided their fifth consecutive UK top ten single? None other than Eddie Cochran.
On 3 March that year, just one month after the death of Sid Vicious from a drug overdose, the Pistols paid tribute to their ill-fated bassist by entering the UK charts with their raucous rendition of Cochran's undying teenage anthem 'Somethin' Else' (or 'Something,' as they had it).
Lifted by Virgin Records as a 45 from the brand new soundtrack of the "mockumentary" film The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, the single appeared after Johnny Rotten's departure, and thus the album featured vocals by a number of different performers. They included Edward Tudor-Pole, of the then-breaking fellow punk act Tenpole Tudor, and Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, who took the lead on the nominal double A-side of the single, 'Friggin' In The Riggin."
In the perverse way that the charts can have, the Pistols' version of 'Somethin' Else' performed far better than Cochran's original. That had reached No. 22 in the UK in 1959. The new rendition entered the bestsellers at No. 24, and by the end of March, it was achieving its No. 5 peak, incongruously sharing the higher chart ground with Gloria Gaynor's bestseller 'I Will Survive' and the runner-up that week, the Village People's 'In The Navy.'
Nor were the Pistols done with the Cochran catalogue. Later that year, after reaching No. 6 in the UK with 'Silly Thing,' they were back at No. 3 with their take on 'C'mon Everybody,' to take their final tally to seven top ten singles.
'Somethin' Else' is on The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, which can be bought here.

OSF HealthCare has purchased the long-vacant Cub Foods building in MidTown Plaza and will relocate some medical practices there starting next year.
Some 150 employees will work out of the East Bluff facility when it's complete, officials said, including about 50 physicians or advanced practice nurses.
"It'll be quite a full building with a lot going on," said OSF HealthCare Vice President of Ambulatory Development and Integration Tracy Pogue.
OSF purchased the facility for $3.5 million in a transaction that closed last week. The deal had been in the works for several months.
About $11.7 million of work will be done to renovate the 65,000 square foot building with the requisite infrastructure that will include some 130 exam rooms, Pogue said. The goal is to have the work done by the end of 2019.
The Cub Foods that had been located there closed in 2009 and has sat vacant since, to the consternation of many people in the neighborhood and in City Hall.
"I got goosebumps," East Bluff neighborhood advocate Willa Lucas said seconds after hearing the news that OSF had bought the building.
"The commitment of the organization to this part of town is huge," said 3rd District City Councilman Tim Riggenbach.
OSF decided on the space as "the right location and the right size," Pogue said, as well as through a desire "really to be good stewards of a building that was already there rather than constructing something new.
"We're very excited to partner with the neighborhood," she added.
Most of what will move to the new facility is located in the Allied Agencies building, 320 E. Armstrong Ave., on the main campus of OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. That includes family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and pediatric specialty practices.
That building and another smaller one nearby are "in dire need of repair," Pogue said, and have aged out of their usefulness for the work that's being done there. Their future has not been determined.
The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria also has some teaching services in the Allied building, and Heartland Health Services offers adult care, pediatric care and women's health including ob-gyn services. OSF officials said both groups are expected to relocate to the Cub building as well.
The moves offer an opportunity to affect the neighborhood in a positive way, said Mike Cruz, OSF HealthCare's Central Region CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
He added that with the partnerships with UICOMP and Heartland, the services offered at the facility will benefit many residents in the area.
Between the number of patients coming in and out daily, plus "the spending power of the employees who are going to work there … that will just give a new life to that corner, I think," Riggenbach said.
The property sits in a tax-increment financing district, which was established with the development when Cub first located there. That status means that all additional tax revenue from growth in property values beyond the base level when it was established goes into a special account to benefit the area.
However, since Cub closed, values there have declined. The parcel, according to county tax records, paid just over $131,000 in property taxes for 2009, the year Cub closed. It paid $96,828.76 in property taxes this year.
Because OSF HealthCare is a not-for-profit entity, it is tax-exempt and will not pay property taxes on the parcel.

Fleeing Freedom, Submitting to the Sacred Texts: Islam and Human Rights
Posted by Cheradenine Zakalwe
In previous posts, I've drawn parallels between the human rights fanboys and girls and the "reformers" in the Islamic world, each fleeing the consequences of their own ideology, but fleeing forward into even more of it, because they have failed to correctly diagnose the roots of their predicament.
I've also argued that the defining dynamic of our age is bureaucracy vs. democracy: deciding what to do either by following rules or using judgement.
It was only when reading Robert Spencer's book, "Did Muhammad Exist?" last night, though, that the true parallel between the human rights lobby and the Mohammedans really struck me. Islam, too, is essentially a system of rule-following. That's why the authenticity of the so-called holy texts and their correct interpretation is of such tremendous significance. Both ideologies deprecate the use of judgement, instead investing written rules with sacred significance. Those who interpret the rules - the ulema or the human rights judges - then become the supreme arbiters of what happens in society.
Since democracy is essentially a ceremony in which people collectively use their judgement to find the best way forward, it's easy to see why both human rights and Islam are in inherent and irreconcilable conflict with it. Rule-following is inimical to democracy, whose vitality depends on its capacity to dynamically and improvisationally adapt.
Islam and human rights are both pernicious ideologies rooted in a fear of human freedom.
And I also found a few comments somewhere else. Not that we aren't aware the muslim menace is everywhere like a spreading and deadly virus. Of course we are. It's just that I spend so much time with how things are here I often forget that folks outside the UK are saying the same things. No surprise since the whole world is .... islamophobic. Those poor misunderstood folks.
So here. Take a look at these. I read them on a German site some days ago. Unfortunately, I can't recall which one and didn't click 'save.' Yeah, I know.
It is not only Germany that is basically invaded by islamists but the rest of Europe is also in the same situation, The UK has millions of muslims living on the welfare system and their number in increasing thanks to mass immigration and high birth and fertility rates. France, if possible, seems to be in a far worse situation with all major cities turned into muslims areas, Italy Spain and Greece found themselves also in difficult situations. Belgium and the Netherlands may in a few years become muslim majority nations as huge numbers of school children are muslims. Sweden and Norway if the current trends goes ahead will be awful places to live. Europeans have become ignorant and weak people, they are not aware of what muslims did in the past to Europe, millions of europe women were raped by muslims invaders in spain and in the balkans, also it is calculated that a least a million of Europeans were slaves in northern Africa and in the ottoman empire. The sad thing is that Europe this time will become muslim as there are very few europeans who want to fight back.
Aufedersen Deutschland
Too bad. The NATO Germans opened the Muslim Pandora's box in an attempt to destroy the Slavs to the East but instead infected themselves. What the arrogant intellectual Germans failed to understand is that intellect, self-discipline and hard work NEVER compensates for over-breeding.
I can't think of a polite way of saying this....Muslim communities are like rodent infestations, for every one you see, there are ten you don't..........And the ones you don't see are breeding ten more....Also like rodents, Muslims are completely predatory. Muslim communities do not sustain their own people because they breed too much.... therefore.....like rodents instead of improving their environments, they destroy them and move on to another environment like...Germany
Does this sound harsh? If it does, look around the world and try to notice what today's Muslim community has given back to human civilization.
Science? None..
Technology? None…
Medicine? None..
Art? None…
Sports? None..
All the Muslims have given the world is oil and the Saudi Babylon (built & run by foreign slaves)
It seems like no matter what the Westerners do the Muslims are offended. Let's face it they are offended that we live. If they want their laws and things done their way, then go back where they came from and leave the West for Westerners. I do not dislike Arabs; I just think people who want to live in other countries do not have a right to expect that country to cater to them.

Hit 'n Run
** The media runs the show now, forget the people or the government. NO KIDDING.
** The 5 scandals of Obama. Really? I would have thought it was about 30 by now, BUT ANYWAY ... luv comment 2:
Fast and Furious. Just what did the administration hope to accomplish by letting guns get into the hands of drug cartel operators without tracking those guns adequately.
We all know the answer: They hoped to show that illegal guns were coming mostly from the U.S. (instead of where they were really coming from: Guatemala, Europe, South America, Asia, even Russia), thereby providing a fabricated excuse to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans
Kathleen Sebelius breaks federal law, keeps her job.
"Mad Maxine" Waters does too, but we can correct these injustices on November 6.
Obama administration leaks sensitive national security information for political purposes.
Has this administration taken any action whatsoever for anything other than political purposes? National security and the best interests of the people are secondary to this twisted administration.
Obama administration tells defense contractors to violate federal law. Bonus: Obama administration says it will use taxpayer dollars to pay any government fines incurred.
Only problem is, some aren't going along, i.e. Lockheed Martin. Obama did say he would have the most transparent administration in history, and the transparency of this is so obvious, most Americans will see right through it.
Romney should be saying in every speech he gives, "Do you really want your sons & daughters entering a military commanded by someone who won't even watch their backs and calls deaths at U.S. embassies 'a bump in the road'?"
Well, yeah to all of that. But I'm sure there were at least a few other MAJOR scandals ... like Solyndra and all the other companies hardly out of start up that were run by major Obama supporters that received millions and billions of stimulus money only to go broke shortly thereafter. Or the New Black Panthers Party voter intimidation thing dropped by Holders racist DOJ ... and that's just the very tip of the iceberg.
** Eww, tastes like plastic. German booze company says it's latest products have been poured over naked hot chicks before being bottled. Follow the link at the link and win free caulk by being the first to spot the racism in their ad campaign.
** National Security? What's that? Even after getting one of the bigs to fall on his sword for O-dhimmi (DNI Clapper claps off), the Libya story situation just keeps getting worse. As well it should. Hello, ACT OF WAR people. Hello, TREASON people. Do I need to bring in Sam U L Jackson? WTF Up!!
The coordinated attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, which killed our ambassador and three other Americans — and the worldwide explosion of assaults on our diplomatic installations elsewhere in the Muslim word — have vividly exposed the hollow core of the president's foreign-policy "reset."
It was just a few weeks ago at the Democratic national convention that Obama confidently declared that "al Qaeda is on the path to defeat and Osama bin Laden is dead." And yet, on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, al Qaeda struck again against our lightly guarded consulate in Benghazi, where ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered — an attack, it now turns out, the United States had ample reason to suspect was coming.
The White House sent stooges like Press Secretary Jay Carney and, worse, UN ambassador Susan Rice, before the public to blame the carnage on understandable Muslim "outrage."
More chillingly, its response was to the blame the filmmaker, an Egyptian-born Coptic Christian living in the Los Angeles area. An ever-obliging news media promptly hunted down the man, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, and — after Obama went to the United Nations and solemnly proclaimed that "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam" — the feds threw him in jail on the pretext of a parole violation.
Holy cow-cow. Forget RCOB moments. If I blog about this stuff my blood pressure will spike so bad my eyes will explode. At this point, how can there not be villagers with torches in the streets; how can we not be in the midst of a violent revolution? Oh wait. Never mind. See item #1. Nothing to see here, go back to sleep. Watch some football, although we won't show you any of the cheerleaders you really hope to see, and the game itself has been sacrificed to be more television broadcast friendly.
** Good news? Well ... yet another Mexican dope lord got caught. This one had Fast and Furious guns in his pockets. But nothing to see there, move along, let's give Holder another award.
"When he [El Diego] was captured in Chihuahua in the summer of 2011, he was found with weapons that the American government had allowed to enter Mexico," the anchor added.
Wait a second, that was LAST YEAR that he was caught! Why is this news NOW??? Oh yeah, that's right ... see item #1 at the top of the post. It's news now because the media is allowing it to be news now, after all the F&F kerfluffle is over, cleaned up, and swept under the rug. Nothing to see here, move along.

Failing The Sniff Test
I could not believe my eyes at the pure BS I saw being fed to the rabid Mac fans who just shelled out big green to buy the new iPhone 5 and found that the camera is defective. "You're holding it wrong". What a crock. I took the above picture in July 2009, when my old digital camera was starting to wear out. It was a nice bright day, the sun high in the sky. And the CCD cell was going on the fritz. All my pictures came out with this purple haze; if the whole picture was brightly lit, the whole digital image had a purple cast. If the bright light was off to one side (like, oh, say the sun was at the top of the pic) then that side was purple.
Fast forward 3 years and a couple months ...
Apple Acknowledges iPhone 5 Camera Problem, Says You're Holding It Wrong
After initially denying it, Apple has acknowledged the iPhone 5's purple flare camera problem in an email to a Gizmodo reader. Their solution: "Angle the camera away from the bright light source when taking pictures."
Read the rest: it's your fault, not apple's.
Yeah right.
Yes, that's Clinton NJ's world famous bridge, a continuous span Pratt pony built in 1870 by CW Cowin and designed by Francis Lowthorp. It's made from CAST iron and WROUGHT iron, from the foundry that was a few towns to the south in Lambertville NJ. Cast iron was used very early on in the metal bridge era, but was quickly rejected because it has very poor tensile strength. Which means it breaks when you stretch it, and your bridge collapses. Bad. Very bad. It does have superb compressive strength though, and wrought iron has superb tensile strength. It was this knowledge that let Lowthorp utilize the right kinds of metal for the right parts of the bridge; on a Pratt truss the vertical members and the hollow cast top chords are ALWAYS in compression, and the diagonal members and forged bottom chords are ALWAYS in tension. Thus his mix of materials. He got it right; the bridge has been standing since 1870. It was knocked down in a traffic accident in the 1920s, at which point it was found that the hollow parts of the bridge had been assembled with rope inside, rather like beads on a string. And thus no parts got swept away in the river, and the locals just put everything back together again and it's been good for nearly 90 years since then. For me, as famous as it is, it's the route to the post office and the pizza shop and the other stores downtown, so I go over it all the time.
It's probably against local law for me to publish anything about Clinton NJ and NOT include a picture of the town's red mill (he says jokingly), which is THE icon, because most folks don't realize that the bridge next to it is about a thousand times more significant. So here they both are, and you can click to get a big image. I tried to do a Visine Treatment™ on the pictures to get the red out, but I couldn't get it all. The bridge is painted a creamy tan color, not the green tone you see here. Those cast iron vertical members are probably 10 feet tall; this is not a teeny tiny bridge like some of the ponies around the county.

Must Go Find A Bridge Now
Because it's escapism for me, pure and simple. Not just from the situation revolving around my MIL, which is bad enough. But from the rest of the world. Because the USA of A has gone completely dog biscuit insane.
How else could this shit happen, or be news, or WORSE, storied ignored by the news media?
2,000 American soldiers have now died in Afghanistan. Yeah, and 3/4 of them under Obama. Who has done everything he possibly could do to lose that war, and the one before it in Iraq. And that isn't news. It isn't news when our troops get killed. It isn't news when our bases get overrun. The media openly roots for our enemies and the only coverage from the whole regional conflict is when "more unarmed civilians killed by drone strikes". Really? The insurgents don't wear uniforms, so how do you know they're merely civilians? And in a land where everybody carries a machine gun, how is it that you can call them unarmed? (snide: sure, AFTER the bomb went off)
American anti-islam film maker is now in solitary confinement maximum security federal prison! For "parole violations", uh huh, yeah right. And Obama snips off another chunk of the Constitution. 1st Amendment? Oh, that doesn't apply if you insult islam.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The California man behind an anti-Islam film that stoked violent protests across the Muslim world was being held at a federal high-rise jail in downtown Los Angeles on Friday over possible probation violations, a prison official said.
Federal officials, citing safety concerns, were tight-lipped about the conditions of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula's confinement, including whether he was being held with the general population or was isolated from other inmates.
"He is at Metropolitan Detention Center," said Chris Burke, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons, adding that the facility holds 969 inmates.
Nakoula has been described as the producer of a crudely made 13-minute video filmed in California and circulated online under several titles including "Innocence of Muslims." It portrays the Prophet Mohammad as a fool and a sexual deviant.
Unreported fact: prior to the massacre in Libya and the press using this video as a pretext, fewer than 300 people had seen the thing. Which on YouTube is as close to zero as it can get.
Wasn't that lying sack of monkey puss Holder just given some kind of big deal award last week? Now it turns out that dozens more of those Fast & Furious guns have surfaced all over the place, and that that news was clamped down but good. And it's ABC running the story, which included actual reporting and journalistic research, so you know all that work was done by the little spic sister network Univsion. Because his panics aren't quite as far up Obama's ass as the white boys at ABC.
Fifty seven previously unidentified firearms linked to Operation Fast and Furious were recovered in sites associated with murders, kidnappings, and at least two gruesome massacres.
Univision News obtained the list of Fast and Furious weapons and a list containing almost 60,000 recovered firearms compiled by Mexico's Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA). A cross-reference of the serial numbers of the guns resulted in 96 full matches (several partial matches were discarded). The 96 firearms linked to Operation Fast and Furious all turned up at crime scenes in Mexico from 2009 to 2010.
In other words, the fact was out there the whole time, and it just needed somebody to pay attention and notice that the numbers didn't seem to square up, and then make a bit of effort to find out why. You know, in other words, research. It what reporters do. Well, the day labor ones at any rate.
And of course the story that ought to bring down a government but won't (one of dozens that coulda/shoulda/woulda if the media was not an actual active enemy of the American people), the Stevens affair, aka Yet Another Act Of Terrorism On The US That Somehow Isn't.
The story of the terror attack in Benghazi is that neither Clinton nor the president who made her secretary of state responded to the real emergency when it came. The biggest foreign-policy crisis of the last four years is revealing an astonishing lack of competence and character at the center of the Obama administration.
That's not to say the Democratic duo did nothing in response to the worst terror attack on American civilians since 9/11. After eulogizing our dead ambassador and three others, Obama and Clinton got to work spinning a web of deceit that would make Richard Nixon blush.
They sent out a wave of aides to mislead and torture the truth. Even now, nearly three weeks later, they have yet to come clean.
In the process, they are demonstrating how to turn a disaster into a scandal.
You want the truth? The truth is whatever the media want it to be. And they do this because they know that Americans are too fat, too lazy, too stupid, and too selfish to get up off their overstuffed asses and do anything about it. So no, it's not terrorism. And the White House is carefully investigating everything before leaping to conclusions. And the film guy was jailed for parole violations. And Jon Corzine and Maxine Waters are both completely innocent. And California can balance it's budget. And the rich don't pay enough taxes. And so on and so on and so on.
That Reset button up at the top of the page? It's not just because I made a nifty graphic. The whole damn country needs a reset. A purge of laws, ideas, and vast numbers of people. And the media ... oh, don't get me started.

London calling, London calling, anyone home? oh, sorry. don't spreak ringlish
Here I am and have been for a number of years, and a dear friend in Mississippi sent it to me.
Now wouldn't you think I'd have been made aware of it before this? But no. I have seen this for the first time today.
I think 4 minutes is a bit long, three would have been better but what the heck. While I doubt too many Brits are living in cardboard boxes, basically
this has a lot of truth to it. And make no mistake. Ain't just immigrants alone who are sucking at the money teat, but they damn sure are becoming a majority of those who are.
I want lots of ppl to see this.
I do not have facts and figures or stats on the subject but, I'd be willing to bet 2bits that even the illegals coming in from Mexico to the USA, do not draw benefits in the same way as immigrants here do. And please take note. Britain gets them from many more places with many more languages.
Take a look at this.

Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Find Humanity A New Home In Black Angel
January 16, 2019 by cassn
Humanity, through its irresponsible behavior, has exhausted the natural resources of Earth, making it almost uninhabitable. In a burst of lucidity, pressed by the irreversible degradation of your planet, the great nations are forced to put aside their differences and share their knowledge in order to create the most vast spacecraft ever constructed.
Black Angel, the first intergalactic ship in humanity's history, is tasked with transporting humanity's genetic legacy in the search for a new home. There is no human presence on the ship, only a series of Artifical Intelligence robots.
However, since no nation quite trusts the other, these AIs are designed to co-manage the Black Angel and be assessed for effectiveness through a Validation Points (VP) system.
Now, Black Angel approaches the planet of Spes, and only greatest AI will be tasked with awakening humanity. Use your good relations with the current alien species of Spes, and your effectiveness as an AI to bring humanity to its salvation. However, be aware, Ravagers lurk on the outskirts of the planet, threatening to destroy everything you have traveled for.
Black Angel has been highly anticipated by board game fans. Using the same dice mechanism as Troyes from designer Sébastien Dujardin (Solenia), and with artwork by Ian O'Toole, Black Angel has been creating quite a bit of forum buzz ahead of its official launch at Gen Con 2019 later this year. This is definitely one to watch in 2019 - keep up to date through the Pearl Games website.
Which game are you most excited to see released in 2019?
"One to watch in 2019!"

Rare Selda Bağcan Show Sees Release
Christian Eede
, October 15th, 2015 13:07
The Turkish singer and political activist's set at last year's Le Guess Who? will be released through the festival's label next month; listen to a track from it below
Le Guess Who? Festival recently launched a record label arm as a means of sharing the various forms of music that they showcase at the festival and the latest release comes in the form of a limited edition vinyl featuring a live performance by legendary Turkish singer and political activist Selda Bağcan.
Performances by Selda are rare but she graced last year's festival in Utrecht as one of the main guests following on from sets by St. Vincent and tUnE-yArDs, both of who are fans of her work, which has seen her document the political struggles of the Turkish working class for a number of decades, leading to her repeated imprisonment through the 1970s and 80s.
Speaking about last year's show at Le Guess Who?, Selda said: "I had many, many gigs in Europe before, and I don't know why but I felt different and happier than before." The performance will see release through a one-time, limited edition vinyl run of 500 copies. It will be released on November 9 and can be pre-ordered here. For now, you can listen to one of the tracks from the set, 'Adaletin Bu Mu Dünya? (Hey World! Is This Your Justice?)' above.

Good Beer Folk: Jacob Hogan
How long have you been a part of the Steam Whistle / GBF family? Jacob: Just over a year and a half. What is your position at Steam Whistle? Jacob: I'm part of the Retail, Events and Promotions team. Can you describe your role? Jacob: My role at Steam Whistle involves the ins and outs of […]
How long have you been a part of the Steam Whistle / GBF family?
Jacob: Just over a year and a half.
What is your position at Steam Whistle?
Jacob: I'm part of the Retail, Events and Promotions team.
Can you describe your role?
Jacob: My role at Steam Whistle involves the ins and outs of every day at the brewery. It includes running the bar while making sure customers (whether it's their first or tenth visit) have a memorable experience. I run brewery tours throughout The Roundhouse which I enjoy very much. I get to spread the Steam Whistle story through this 30 minute interaction with our guests and I have the ability to make their day! I love showing strangers a "behind the scenes" look of the brewery and what makes us special. Largely, making an impression on people and spreading the positive vibes that we all share to the people that walk in to our cathedral of beer is a huge part of my job. Our guests should feel as positive and excited to be here as we do behind the bar.
How has your role evolved since you first started?
Jacob: I've gotten to expand into new opportunities within my role. A great example of this is offsite marketing events. I've spent a lot of time throughout the province representing the brand and creating new touchstones.
Were you always interested in the brewing industry (or) why did you apply at Steam Whistle?
Jacob: I've always loved beer. In university I loved craft beer and Steam Whistle was by far my favorite, so much so that my buddies and I in university went to Steam Whistle right when we all turned legal drinking age. We did a brewery tour and left with such a great impression of the place and the brand. I then lived over in Europe for a while and did many brewery tours there. They didn't compare to my experience at Steam Whistle. I would even talk about Steam Whistle to people throughout Europe urging them to book a tour if they ever visit Toronto. I then saw a job posting for Steam Whistle's Retail Events & Promotions team and I felt like it was a sign. I had to go back to Toronto for an interview – it was my dream job! The rest is history.
If you had to choose, what would be your favorite aspect about coming in to work at the brewery?
Jacob: The people. It's the Good Beer Folk. We really are "Good, Beer, Folk". When I first started working here I found everyone to be so happy, positive, caring and to be honest it intimidated me. I was worried I wouldn't be able to meet this unspoken standard. It made me want to be even better in regards to my interactions with our brewery guests. This allowed me to completely involve myself in the Good Beer Folk aura. When you work with people that make you grow, it's the best part.
How would you describe Pure Pilsner?
Jacob: It's about caring. It's about how you present yourself in such a competitive market. It's about your customers. It's the honesty that's built into that. By being a pure pilsner you are caring about what people consume, you're caring about impressions. Hey, at the end of the day you're caring about people's hangovers. Pure pilsner equals better hangovers.
What makes Steam Whistle stand out as a brand?
Jacob: Our pride. We are fiercely proud. Whether you started your job yesterday or are the CEO of the company, we are fiercely proud of the work that we do. There isn't a single interaction while I'm at Steam Whistle where I don't feel proud. We are proud of the pure pilsner we are selling, we are proud of the historic building we reside in, our green initiatives, the list goes on.
What is a Steam Whistle initiative that means a lot to you?
Jacob: Definitely our green initiatives. I get so excited talking about it on brewery tours. I even tell the brewery tour guests stop me if I keep rambling about it. I have hours of information that I have to condense in minutes and I feel very passionate about it. The fact that we have made our bottles so unique that it's better for the environment is incredible. Or when we bring our tours up to the office and get to say "feel the cool air, that's not an air conditioning system it's a deep lake cooling system". Our initiatives are spread all over Canada. For example, our bike repair stations. It's so cool how involved we are with the community.
Is it true when people say the Steam Whistle culture is contagious?
Jacob: Extremely. You can't get enough of it. Get an IV of it, put it in my arm. Just fuel me up! That's what gets me going through the day. It's affectionate, it's silly, it's positive, it's always fun. It's so rare to walk into a bar area and see all the employees grinning ear to ear, laughing, dancing, etc. We've been drinking beer for over 8000 years. We do the best job of honoring our ancestors by enjoying a beer with our friends on our staff patio at the end of the work day. It's a wonderful sense of community.
Where is your favorite place to enjoy a Steam Whistle (other than The Roundhouse)?
Jacob: By the water or in the woods. Anywhere in nature.
What is one word you could use to describe your work experience at Steam Whistle?
Jacob: Inspiring.

Here is a continuation of the list of things I would do to create a really bad corporate culture, if I were the CEO.
- Create a Culture of Fear
I would fire people at will and without warning, showing people who is in charge. I'd do my best to humiliate others wherever possible so that even the smallest challenges to my leadership are quashed. The "Art of War" would be my friend.
- Make it Clear Personal Money is Paramount
I would casually mention in conversation that my main priority is my retirement, and how I plan to fund it. People would hear from me they they should be doing the same, if they know what is good for them.
- Blame the Customer
I'd make the message plain — if customers don't want to do business with us, then they should go elsewhere, as it is their "right." They'd need to know they are wrong for asking more than we are prepared to give them.
- Focus on the Short Term
I would waste no time on developing fancy vision statements and the like. After all, no-one can predict what will happen with much accuracy in the future. Instead, I'd gear people to short-term results and meeting the goals that will make me look good to the board. My job would be to motivate people using money and personal gain wherever possible, forcing them to compete with each other
- Keep Around Non-Performers
While I would fire at will, I'd make sure to keep around some employees who are mediocre – after all, we can't ALL be stars, can we? I'd move them from job to job, to keep them and everyone else happy in the short term. Making employees happy and comfortable on a day-to-day basis, without any sense of sacrifice, would be critical to getting them to like me.
It's interesting, but I was surprised when I made this list how easy it was to create. Changing culture is easy to do badly, or inadvertently. My clients are often surprised at the degree
of fallout they experience when they do something dumb (i.e. against their self interests.)
It is much harder to do everything right, and unfortunately, building a great culture requires a leadership performance that is not perfect, but sets the limit of the change by the weakest area visible to others.
For example, a manager might be a good leader in most respects, but a bad listener. Guess which characteristic will have the greatest impact?
Managers and executives need to be working on themselves all the time, as the bar is constantly being raised by those around them. Success only breeds higher expectations and greater challenges.

As trainers, we hear it alllll the time… "Stretching is boring"… "Stretching doesn't do anything"… "Stretching hurts"… The truth is, you really can't afford to skip out on stretches! There are numerous benefits to including stretching in your daily workout routine, the number one being injury prevention.
Injury Prevention
Dynamic stretches are commonly used during warmups to warm the muscles before they undergo strenuous activity. Chances are when you jump into a workout without warming up, the muscles and tendons are cold and tight so you run a higher risk of injuring yourself.
Decrease Stress
Have you ever held the yoga pose downward dog? Studies show that this pose can greatly decrease levels of stress and anxiety (TRY IT!!). Using your breath while holding static poses allows the body to work through tension gradually leaving your body feeling relaxed after a session.
Increase Range Of Motion / Flexibility
Most people stretch to improve their flexibility. Having increased range of motion and flexibility also aids in injury prevention by allowing the body to move fluidly.
Improved Circulation
Stretching increases blood flow which allows the muscles to recover quicker by removing waste in the muscle tissue. You'll notice a vast difference in workout recovery when you stretch! /p>
Finally... Improved Overall Health
Holding poses for a minimum of 30 seconds is key, making sure to target problem areas more often. If you're new to stretching or just unsure of what to do, give us a call and one of our Fitness Professionals can help get you on a flexibility program today!< /p> Contact a Healthplex trainer to start your stretching program!

Symantec + Ixia: A Lasting Advantage Over Hidden Threats
Most network traffic today is encrypted - typically with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols -and bad actors are increasingly hiding their malware inside such traffic. Unfortunately, few security devices can inspect encrypted data without impacting performance. Symantec and Ixia help you rapidly detect and respond to hidden threats with visibility into your network and into inbound and outbound encrypted traffic. Reduce the processing burden on high-end security assets; boost your return on investment in firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and other specialized security elements; and lighten the load on your security team.
